    American Home Shield (AHS) is by far the worse company to do business with. I happily canceled my policy in April and switched to Choice Home in May, in where I have had a better experience so far! It took AHS over 3+ months to tell me they could not fix my oven even though they said the new part would be in within a few weeks, and 4 months just to get me 1200 dollars for a new oven. Horrible customer service, horrible company, and overall I suggest no one ever use AHS.

    We have used AHS for over 10 years. Recently their claims to repair or replace have never been so false. We waited over one month to finally repair our refrigerator. The technician replaced every internal component from the compressor to the cooling coils and the entire process from ordering parts to multiple (5 appointments) took one month and after reviewing Sears invoices to AHS, cost over $1600. Each time we called the AHS rep said that Sears never said the appliance could not be repaired. This is a lie. Each time the tech said that they communicate the need for multiple parts and time for repair telling them that the appliance really needs replacing, AHS approves the parts order and another appointment to repair.

    The dishwasher has been broken for over one month, again with EVERY component replaced and over 4 repair visits. The repairman told AHS that the dishwasher should be replaced, again AHS refused and approved one more part, the motor. They have completely rebuilt the dishwasher at a cost of over $1200 and it is still not repaired. So the time a customer is without an appliance due to multiple parts and multiple repair appointments is not considered for a reason to replace the appliance. I recommend just establishing a saving account for repairs. DO NOT consider AHS or any home warranty program

    I was going to give them a 2-star review since I basically broke even on the plan. I got a cash out payment on my AC issues that covered my monthly payments. I was with them 9 months. Then it took 25 minutes on the phone to cancel. A reputable company would let you cancel online simply and quickly. Not these guys. They will make it as difficult as possible. I would give zero if I could. Never again.

    Updated on 06/24/2025: Some may recognize this story already but after 4 weeks start on May 19th of trying to fix my refrigerator I decided to accept a cash offer $713 from AHS and they refunded my service call fee $125. Great right? Well now I'm trying to cut ties with them. Nobody answers the cancellation line 844-318-1009 it times out after 5 minutes I've called 4 times, the chat doesn't respond either, someone from AHS needs to call me immediately you probably know already who to call, this type of customer service is unacceptable I have spent weeks calling, scheduling waiting for techs 4 times, calling to get restitution I want separation from your company today!

    Original Review: My refrigerator has been down since May 16th 2025, Today is June 7th 2025, 3 trips from the assigned service company still no resolution, No follow up from AHS. All communication is done through texting. Nobody will call you. When I do try texting I get no resolution only a survey was the Rep friendly? I don't need friendly. I need help! As a customer you have no control of your destiny. The contract is written with a lot of "we" referring to AHS and not how "we" can serve you as a customer, If AHS is one of the best I would hate to see the worst, I have had them for over a year, used them once for garage door no problems, But now when I really need them crickets.

    I've had the worst experience ever. This company lacks professionalism even the managers. I've been waiting two months for my refrigerator to be repaired or replaced and I'm still waiting. I was given the run around on the phone. The information in the computer is not updated daily. When you call, they are reading the information that already occurred. No one seems to know what is going on. You are kept on hold for other departments and then when connected, they are reading the same mess. There is a language barrier as well. Then sent a company out four times and it still has not been repaired or replaced. I canceled my plan on 6/5/25 and a manager called me on 6/6/25 to say she couldn't help me because I canceled my plan. But they didn't help me when I had the plan. If I could give them a zero I would. They have yet to provide what the plan states.

    The Business Model of American Home Shield Feels Deceptive. American Home Shield charges customers a monthly fee along with an additional service fee whenever a repair is needed. Once a service request is submitted, they assign the job to the lowest-cost contractor—often one with poor reviews and minimal experience. That contractor contacts the customer, schedules an appointment, and then takes photos or videos of the issue to send to American Home Shield for evaluation. After reviewing the report, American Home Shield decides whether the repair will be covered. If approved, they notify the contractor of the portion they’ll pay for—leaving the customer responsible for any remaining balance, even though the contractor wasn't of their choosing and may lack adequate qualifications.

    In my case, I had a leaking shower faucet that wouldn’t shut off and a bathroom faucet with stiff hot and cold water valves. The fix was simple: replace a cartridge in the shower and two in the sink. However, the contractor, Aladdin’s Plumbing, only took photos during the first visit and returned two days later just to capture a video—still with no parts ordered or repairs scheduled.

    After four days of delays, American Home Shield denied the repair, claiming a failed cartridge wasn’t a result of "normal wear and tear"—which is both incorrect and absurd. Cartridges are clearly mechanical components that wear out over time. Their appeal process offers the option to request a second opinion from another contractor, but you must pay another $100 service fee. If the new technician gives a similar denial, you're left with no repair and wasted time. To make matters worse, the technician who visited my home had no plumbing knowledge. I had to guide him on how to access and remove the cartridge, just to identify the issue myself.

    AHS has to be the worst company ever for home warranty! I am definitely switching providers. I spoke to two rude and condescending agents Afeisha and Angel who both denied me a supervisor. They wouldn't even tell me if the notes on my account show from what the previous agent notated. They had a vendor do the estimate, approved my order, ordered the part, and scheduled the work order for 6/4/25. They turned around on 6/3 and cancelled the appt and never notified me. I had to find out through the vendor Formula Air and when I called AHS I found out that they denied my claim because they stated this was a previous issue. This was not a previous issue. I had to email them proof showing that the tech that came to my home 7/5/24 installed a condenser fan and did a coil clean and tune up and did not install a compressor. I have been getting the run around, received terrible customer care, and I have a 6 month old baby in the house.

    AHS still has not reached out to me to reschedule my appt nor have a supervisor return my call. The agents didn't even want to tell me the location of the office. This is the worst customer service experience and it makes the company look bad. Apparently AHS is known for bad customer service, being a scam, and not completing jobs. I wish I would've known this beforehand and went with a different company. Now I know better.

    Scammers so beware. I created a service request on 5/13/25 because my AC unit was not cooling properly. TCA HVAC LLC were assigned and arrived at my home on 5/17/25. The service technician advised me that unit was not cooling properly due to a leak in the coil. On 5/20/25 at 9:45am I received a message from AHS stating to call them. I immediately called them and they said my claim was denied due to "pre-existing conditions." I asked what deemed it pre-existing since the issue started shortly before I put in the request. I was told that the pro wrote it in the report.

    That didn't seem right because of the detailed conversation I had with the tech regarding the diagnosis so I called TCA HVAC. They said that they DID NOT write/report that it was a pre-existing condition. I have requested the document from AHS several times and was told they would send it and have not received it yet. They did request that I send in a document showing my routine maintenance/inspection report which I provided. Now that TCA has stated they did not report it as pre-existing and I have provided documents proving it was in working condition AHS is giving me the run around. They have even authorized 2 second opinions without my knowledge or consent.

    Second opinions cost $125 and are usually requested when you are disputing the diagnosis. I am however not disputing the diagnosis but disputing the false claims that it was "pre-existing". If you are dealing with this company, please document EVERYTHING. This has been the worst experience I've ever had with a company. My co-workers are embarrassed that they referred me to this company. I am now preparing to contact a legal team, local news, etc. BEWARE BEWARE. BEWARE. They do not honor the terms of their contracts.

    When we purchased our house, I thought I had canceled the warranty, but I later realized it was still active. My stove started malfunctioning, and since I was paying for the service, I decided to use it. Initially, they sent a technician who couldn't communicate well and diagnosed the issue as electrical. The real problem turned out to be a combination of a loose outlet and a bad breaker. I ended up spending over $400 to fix it myself because American Home Shield wouldn't cover it, which felt frustrating.

    Alongside the stove issue, I had a similar experience involving our dryer. I had problems with it catching fire, but the repair was unsatisfactory. In the end, I had to buy a new washer and dryer. Regarding our pool heater, it was deemed not covered as well, leading to out-of-pocket expenses again. Having been with them for around two years, every time we needed assistance, they seemed to find reasons not to cover the repairs. This pattern repeated itself too often. Despite some courteous service visits, my dealings with the company left me feeling that their promises were misleading since many necessary repairs weren't covered as advertised.

    Response from American Home Shield

    Good day Steven. Thanks for leaving us your feedback. I'm sorry to see that you did not feel that the warranty provided value to you.

    I have had the opportunity to review the past service requests that you mentioned. The electrical outlet problem was diagnosed as being the result of a power surge. Electrical surges are not covered under AHS service contracts. We do include that information in the exclusions section of all of our contracts. I do see that after you objected to the denial of coverage, our customer service agent made you aware of the option to receive a second opinion diagnosis from a new vendor. You refused this offer, which is of course your right. The pool heater service request was also diagnosed as being a failure of a non-covered part listed in the exclusions section of the contract.

    In reviewing the service request for the dryer, I saw that the vendor came out to the home and completed a repair. However, I did not see any subsequent communications from you to our team after their last visit. If another problem occurs with any repair within a thirty day period and we are made aware, AHS will always issue a recall, which sends the vendor back to the home to repair problem at no additional charge to you. If, however, we aren't made aware of problems after a repair attempt, we can't address these issues.

    Thank you for the kind words regarding the courtesy you were shown during the tech's service visits. I'm sorry to see that you are no longer a customer with AHS. If you ever decided that you might wish to try the warranty again, please feel free to check out our contracts first via https://www.ahs.com/contracts/. We detail what is covered and excluded in all of our plans here.

    I’ve had an extremely frustrating experience with Liberty Home Guard. From the start, the claims process has been slow and confusing. I paid the up-front service fees as required, but appointments with technicians were often delayed or cancelled, dragging the whole process out for weeks. Communication has also been a major issue. It’s been difficult to get clear answers about when my claims would be reviewed or approved. Even worse, some appliances I was told would be covered when I signed up were later denied — which directly contradicted what I was promised by their sales reps.

    I’ve also found the advertised scope of coverage and payout amounts to be misleading. When I requested written explanations for denied claims, I never received a clear response. There are also a lot of exclusions and fine print that were not made obvious up front — things like age restrictions or brand/model limitations that weren’t disclosed during the sales process. Overall, I feel like the service hasn’t matched what was advertised or promised, and I wouldn’t recommend Liberty Home Guard based on my experience.

    Horrible Customer Service and Communication Experience. I knew my garage door or motor needed to be replaced and the customer service representative had me schedule a technician to go out and I had to pay American Home Shield $100 for this person to come out to tell me that the door or motor needed to be replace and that American Home Shield does not cover replacement, only repairing. What do I have a warranty for again? Makes no sense that their team is not in the business of discussing your coverage, they just want to schedule a tech on your dime, have you pay for an assessment, and then they don't cover anything. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Not sure a home warranty is worth it. You may as well just get separate warranties for the different appliances. Going to be canceling this one. It's just not worth it, especially with this company!!!!

The technician complained after two days that American Home Shield had not approved his quote. I called. The technician was frustrated. Finally, I paid $4400 out of pocket to have it fixed. That was over a week ago. American Home Shield is still working through authorization. I called and canceled my policy. Their answer system is extremely frustrating.

    The first time SJDI Electrical Services came out, they made a determination, and the electricity worked for about 8 hours. I called them back, and they gave me an appointment. It was 90-something degrees down here in Texas and we didn’t have any air conditioning. We had three AC units, and none of them were working. My husband and I are both sick, and I was under the doctor’s care. I told them that but they said we had to wait almost a week for them to come again. About a week later, we had an appointment from 1:00 to 4:00 and we sat here and waited. At 4:00, I called the company and asked when the tech was coming. They said he was out here at 1:30. I said he didn’t ring the doorbell and didn’t knock on the door. One of our panels is in the garage, and one is outside on the wall and he didn’t even have the decency to let us know he was here.

    When I called American Home Shield, they said the tech notified them. I did not like how that went down and after that incident, I did not trust AHS. I called, and it took three days for the rep to assign me. I asked if they would give me another company and the rep said it was not a recall. So I told them to have the company come again. But that is still open. So, I paid for another company to come out here to verify what the problem was and it was my generator.

    I called the generator people and they came out and saw that the transfer switch was taking the power out of the house. So they did something to allow us to have air conditioning until they ordered the parts to come back and make a permanent fix. SJDI Electrical has not called or scheduled. I have been intending on calling them just to cancel it, but I'm going to wait and see how long it's going to take to reschedule somebody to come out here. I've had American Home Shield since 1973, and the only reason I'm with them is I live out in a rural area, and I have a well, and they cover my well. Other than that, I'd have been gone a long time ago. I also had a rental property until I sold it last year, which American Home Shield also covered.

    American Home Shield is a good service. It covers a lot of things that are needed and they’re doing a little better about answering now. I used to stay on the line for at least an hour sometimes, just waiting and listening to that crazy music. But they still need to improve on how they handle customer disagreements. I had a problem with a refrigerator and the repair company came out here six times and still didn’t fix it. And AHS wouldn’t let someone else take a look. I said I would get a second opinion and they said I couldn’t have one. I asked again for a second opinion, and they still said I couldn’t have one. They need to change that rule because if a customer has a legitimate disagreement with the company, then AHS should be supportive of the client. In the end, I had to get a new refrigerator.

    I have a built-in refrigerator and it cost $5,000 to replace and AHS only paid 4,000. The men delivered it but they wouldn't put it in the kitchen. They put it in my family room and me and my husband had to unhook the old refrigerator and roll it out to the garage and get a salvage company to come and get it. My husband hooked up the new refrigerator and slid it back in. I called AHS but nothing happened. The customer service reps are programmed. They're like robots and they follow a script. And you ask to speak to a supervisor but there is none available.

    American Home Shield dispatched a company I was not satisfied with, three times, without resolving the issue. The service has been exceptionally frustrating. My washing machine's issues remained unfixed, with water leaking onto the floor, yet they reported no mechanical problems.

    Despite my request to not have the same company return, American Home Shield persisted, causing new delays without any functional improvement to my appliance. Furthermore, they promised me a $100 credit due to the repeated service failures, but as of now, I'm still waiting for this issue to be resolved.

    It's a never ending fight! Know your plan by heart because one day they will fix the problem and the next, oh they don't cover it. They fix a fan in one room but refuse to fix the second fan with the same problem. Saying they don't cover it. The people they send to your home are also one star rating and have poor attitude and attention. We kept having a leak in our shower and it took over a month and three different plumbers to fix it. When they were done and the ceiling needed to be fix, they refused to replace/repair it all. Even tho. It's in the plan. You can't get anyone who speaks clear on the phone and they hang up on you the moment you ask 2x for them to be clear or repeat. They say they cover things and even if you point out page/sentence of such coverage, they still find ways to deny your claim.

    I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with American Home Shield. I called to cancel my service back in January and was convinced to pay for one more month in February with the promise of receiving March and April for free. I specifically asked if I needed to call again to cancel and was told no—it would cancel automatically.

    Despite that, I was charged again on May 26 without my consent. When I called to request a refund, I was met with resistance and pressure to keep the service in exchange for one free month. I spent 45 minutes on the phone going back and forth with customer service, who refused to cancel or issue a refund. I even recorded the call.

    What’s worse is that the company’s website says you can cancel at any time and receive a prorated refund—clearly not true in my case. As someone who was recently laid off, this unauthorized charge has added unnecessary stress and financial burden. I cannot recommend American Home Shield based on this experience. The lack of transparency, accountability, and basic customer care has been incredibly frustrating.

    Their customer service is incredibly disorganized! They sent the same dishwasher repair company 9 times to my home and could not understand why they should have used another company!!!! Some of their foreign employees have poor English comprehension skills. It's amazing they are still in business and why some customers like using AHS!!!

    When we encountered a problem with the AC not turning on, American Home Shield arranged for a technician from Temperature Unlimited to come out. The diagnosis was straightforward; it turned out to be a minor breaker issue, which they resolved swiftly.

    Overall, my experience with American Home Shield was positive. I haven’t had any issues with the calls or services provided. While I don't plan to renew the service, mainly because it doesn’t align with our current needs, I can still say the customer service and the efficiency of issue resolution have been commendable. Each time I've reached out, they’ve handled things well, even when I used their online platform twice. The process was smooth and user-friendly on both occasions.

    If asked, I'd definitely recommend American Home Shield for their reliable service and excellent customer care.

    When CKC Plumbing, through American Home Shield, came to fix my toilet, the results were far from satisfactory. The issue was never resolved, leading to an ongoing leak. Despite paying the $125 service fee, I've been left to hire a separate plumber at my own expense.

    The plumbers claimed the problem was due to unusually hot water affecting the wax ring seal. This explanation was particularly frustrating since it seemed unreasonable and disconnected from the actual plumbing norms. It was evident something was fundamentally wrong, yet a practical resolution wasn't provided.

    The whole ordeal left me feeling disillusioned, and I'm considering canceling my contract. It was quite disappointing to have paid for a service that didn't fix the problem while needing to spend extra to finally resolve the issue with another plumber.

    I opted for American Home Shield to cover my home appliances. My interaction this time wasn’t completely smooth. Initially, it took a whopping three months just to get my dishwasher sorted out, primarily due to subpar contractors. For instance, the first contractor, Sears, didn't even show up. The second company, Batten’s, misdiagnosed it as a motherboard issue without even checking the error code, leading to a repeated failure. They mentioned a drain issue but failed to act on it.

    However, the last contractor they sent was truly fantastic—he pinpointed the problem within 15 minutes, ordered the right part, and had everything resolved within a week. It was refreshing to finally experience such competence.

    I’ve had past experiences too, having managed nearly 200 properties, and I can say American Home Shield tends to lean towards minimal fixes rather than comprehensive solutions. When dealing with air conditioners, they would often replace only part of the unit, making you incorporate mismatched or outdated elements to get things going, which was quite frustrating.

    In essence, while some contractors were beneficial, the overall experience with American Home Shield left much to be desired. They could greatly improve by thoroughly evaluating their contractor partnerships and being more flexible in addressing customer feedback. If someone like me, who's spent over a decade in property management, voices a concern, they should be proactive in resolving it. I'd probably rate them a 2, as it's really about ensuring they step up their game for future customers.

    Setting up my account with them was a straightforward process that I completed in about 24 to 48 hours. However, my first experience with them was a bit rocky. Initially, there was a leak behind the wall, and despite multiple calls, the HVAC service provider, NJ HVAC, took a while to respond. Fortunately, American Home Shield intervened and managed to get them to come and complete the necessary repairs. The entire process, from issue discovery to problem resolution, spanned about 30 days. But now, I still need them to return and finish the drywall and paint work after addressing the leak. I haven't submitted the request for this part yet, as the service team concluded with the repairs only an hour ago.

    Overall, though I found myself on the brink of cancelling due to the slow response from the HVAC provider, American Home Shield's involvement was instrumental in resolving the issue.

    I opted for American Home Shield a few years back based on a recommendation and overall, I've had a generally positive experience with the service. A while ago, I faced issues with my appliances and decided to reach out to them. Recently I had another issue with a couple of appliances—a washing machine, dryer combo, and dishwasher—and initiated a service request almost a month ago. While I'm still waiting for the final resolution, involving an ordered part and a couple of rescheduled appointments, the company's prior expertise gives me hope.

    The process can sometimes be a test of patience as repairs and appointments don't always happen immediately. I do appreciate the singular contact point for repairs; however, service is carried out by subcontractors, leaving a small degree of detachment about the process itself. Nonetheless, I assume these contractors are vetted by American Home Shield, which provides some reassurance.

    Though it's been arranged for the technician to arrive today, having already waited this long, I understand things don't always align perfectly. Even so, I find value in the peace of mind that comes from not having to individually locate repairpersons for each issue.

Initially, I stuck with them because they resolved some past issues by compensating us for appliances that couldn't be fixed. However, my recent experience with them has been quite frustrating.

    Upon facing repeated air conditioning issues, I found the companies they contracted unreliable. One particular contractor, Air Technical, consistently delayed service. Even when they visited, they failed to resolve the problem. This led to out-of-pocket expenses for me as I had to purchase window AC units and pay for coil cleaning which was unjustly classified as maintenance by American Home Shield.

    Despite having coverage, the process to resolve our AC issue dragged on. Even after multiple visits, including one that resulted in significant water damage due to a mismanaged fix, there was little to no accountability.

    My recent encounters with their service left me less than impressed. I had issues in the guest shower where parts were supposedly replaced by Parts Hub.

    First, we had F6 Plumbing come out to check a leak. They tried to fix what they thought was leaking in the bathroom, yet the problem persisted. I had to pay $474, and as seniors, they gave us a small discount. Despite having two properties covered by Home Shield for years, I ended up paying out of pocket for additional repairs when they brought another company named SWAT. It cost $1313 for them to dig and reach the pipes under the house.

    When SWAT arrived, I asked why they didn’t send the same technicians familiar with the situation. This resulted in another out-of-pocket cost of $100 for the service call. The proposed solution involved going under the house, which added to our frustration. After years of paying for a service that was supposed to assist in such situations, having no substantial help left me dissatisfied. Ultimately, I decided to cancel our service, losing faith in what was once reliable support.

    Hello Carol. Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. I apologize that you found these recent service requests to be frustrating.

    I've had the opportunity to review the recent calls in our notes. I see that the additional costs that you paid were due to expenses that are not covered in the contract. For example, while AHS covers a number of repairs and costs for the plumbing in homes, the contract does not cover the need to access leaks that are below the foundation of the home. Unfortunately, this was the situation with your leak. Also, there were modification costs for the replacement of a pipe. Modifications are not covered under any contract. AHS did pay for the labor of the technician and the cost of the materials in the pipe itself.

    I've been with American Home Shield since 1994. Recently, I had an issue with my washing machine, which was leaking and couldn't progress through cycles. I reported the problem to American Home Shield, and the technician's initial visits spanned over several weeks, addressing problems step by step. They attempted a few fixes, including replacing seals and addressing cycle progression repairs. Sadly, despite their efforts, the washing machine still leaked, and the final technician's visit discovered the motor connections were seized up, leaving the issue unresolved.

    The technician from American Home Shield who came to my home was knowledgeable and courteous, but evidently limited by the repair process itself, which involved identifying the problem piece by piece. Despite these efforts, no resolution was achieved. Communication from American Home Shield hasn't been as forthcoming as I would have liked either, leaving me guessing about whether they'll eventually replace the appliance altogether. That disappointment is something I've had to come to terms with over the weekend.

    Back in March, I submitted a claim for my malfunctioning furnace. American Home Shield dispatched Comfort Pro, who identified the issue as a faulty blower. They ordered the necessary part, leaving me without heat for a week. When they returned, the problem persisted as the initial fix led to additional damage, frying my memory board due to incorrect wiring. Once it was rewired in April, I realized my air conditioning no longer worked. I contacted American Home Shield again under the impression it was my air conditioning at fault, but Liberty Plumbing came out and once again, incorrect wiring was identified. Despite the situation, I'm struggling to get clear communication. Each time I contact American Home Shield, I'm rerouted internationally with no resolution. For this ongoing issue, I’ve paid $200 in service fees, on top of my regular $85 monthly charge. This whole episode sprouted from a problem mishandled early on. My main concern now is the potential hazard posed by the incorrect wiring. I have been with American Home Shield for five years and never needed extensive service until now. This makes the issue all the more disheartening.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield when I needed an electrician. Washington Electrical Service came out, and the technician was great. He replaced an exhaust fan and updated a faulty component during their visit. The process from claim submission to the technician’s visit was efficient and took less than 45 minutes overall, which I appreciated.

    I've been with American Home Shield for about five to six months, and this was the first service call I utilized. It went smoothly, so no complaints there, but I haven't formed a strong opinion yet as I need more service interactions to fully gauge my experience. At this point, it seems to be average.

    Given my limited usage, I would rate it around a 3 out of 5. It met my expectations, but I look forward to seeing how future services unfold. For now, based on this initial experience, my recommendation rate is moderate.

    My experience with American Home Shield, particularly with a recent repair service, was quite unfortunate. They arranged for a technician to repair my malfunctioning LG refrigerator. The initial issue involved inconsistent freezing, but the technician's visits only worsened the situation. He repeatedly assured me it was fixed, yet continued ordering unnecessary parts, ultimately deeming the appliance irreparable after multiple visits. To my dismay, American Home Shield deducted a hefty sum from my replacement budget due to the supposed repair expenses. This made little sense, as I ended up covering those costs. Communication during this time was poor, with extended periods when customer service was unreachable.

    Despite being a customer for over a decade, the technicians and claim process haven't met my expectations. I've had similar disappointing experiences with other appliances like my condenser and hot water heater. It's made me reconsider whether maintaining coverage is worth the effort, considering the premiums closely match potential technician fees for independent service calls.

    Recently, my water heater stopped working. To resolve the issue, I utilized their online portal to request assistance. They responded swiftly, confirming a service company within a day and had the problem assessed.

    The process to have the water heater replaced took a bit longer due to the delivery timeline, but ultimately an appointment was set within about three days. It took approximately a week and a half to get the new unit installed, which was fairly acceptable given the circumstances.

    Overall, I've found their service quite dependable, although I've faced some inconsistencies in the past with contractors they engaged, which might be a result of local vendors they partner with. Nonetheless, my latest encounter showed their capability to deliver satisfying service when everything aligns well.

    I’d rate this experience a 5 for the effectiveness of the service. Their customer service deserves a 5 as well, for their responsiveness when I had inquiries. Pricing-wise, I'd give them a 4, considering it's a bit steep for the services utilized.

    Finally, their online system was impressively smooth and user-friendly compared to previous phone experiences, rating it a 5 as well. While past experiences had some hiccups, my recent interaction with American Home Shield was undeniably satisfactory, and I’d recommend them to others navigating similar issues.

Three weeks later, it's doing something else. It's a manufacturer problem.

    I had Lynnco Home come out to provide a diagnostic for my HVAC unit and they fixed the issue without needing to order any parts. It turned out the PVC pipe was improperly installed by another company. Since then, the unit has been running smoothly without further problems. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with American Home Shield. However, there was one instance where I felt discouraged from using my home warranty because it seemed we had to go back to the original installers of my HVAC unit who led to an incorrect diagnostic and additional charges. It would have been better if I had used my home warranty from the start.

    The customer service was a strong 4 out of 5 due to the prompt resolution but the initial advice was misleading. Handling of my requests has generally been effective, even though the online service for making a request sees some delays in callbacks. As such, my interaction with the online aspect sits at a 4, mainly due to the need for faster responses during urgent times like summer cooling issues. Ultimately, the price for the service matches its value. Although not perfect, American Home Shield continues to be a reliable choice for my home warranty needs.

In general, we've had really good experience. Our claims are usually teeny tiny things that we can have fixed and they usually get them done. But after last year, my dad was very upset because we had been without hot water for a long time last year. He was concerned that we weren't being taken care of. American Home Shield wouldn't replace our water heater because there was a code issue, and it turned into this big nightmare that I don't even know how it got resolved. We had to have somebody that we hired on our own come in and fix it. If you can get the claim all done online, it's great.

    When I filed a claim for my washer, the experience wasn’t great, mainly due to the service provided by the contractor, Sears. Initially, the repair technician was not prepared, even though I had provided all the necessary details regarding the issue and model number beforehand. Consequently, a part had to be ordered, and my appointment was rescheduled for two weeks out.

    I received a call about a cancellation that allowed for an earlier appointment, which I promptly confirmed. However, on the day of the rescheduled appointment, nobody showed up despite reminders and updates indicating they would. I waited from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. before realizing that no one was coming. After contacting American Home Shield, they informed me that Sears had canceled without notifying me. This led to another week of waiting.

    Although I gave American Home Shield a high rating because the complications weren't their fault, I hope they reconsider their association with contractors like Sears in the future. It was incredibly frustrating to miss a day of work without receiving proper communication or service.

    I've been with American Home Shield since November and my experience has been far from satisfactory. I filed a claim concerning my washer, but American Home Shield really dropped the ball during the service process. They had me going back and forth between them and the repair company, trying to track a part that they supposedly ordered almost two weeks prior. Neither could provide a tracking number, nor could they give me direct answers, which was extremely frustrating considering this is a service I pay for.

    AHS told me that the company ordered the part, then when I called the company, they said, “No. We don't have a tracking number for the part. AHS didn't give us one. And we don't know when it's coming.” I called AHS back and they told me that they can't give me a tracking number either, that they will have to go through the order department to find a tracking number and they'll send it to the company. I can't get a tracking number to myself or to the provider of the service for the part to see how much longer it's gonna be to have my appliance working. I didn't like that.

    After a lot of persistence going back and forth, we finally got an answer the next day or so., then they came out and resolved the issue. My washer has been working fine since then, but the whole ordeal left a sour taste. I tried to cancel my membership, and unfortunately, have been attempting to do so almost since I signed up, reflecting my dissatisfaction with their service. I would not recommend American Home Shield to anyone based on this experience, and I remain very dissatisfied with their service and support.

    Our long-lasting subscription with AHS appears to be a worthy investment. We've owned older appliances for years, yet they've facilitated substantial savings, like acquiring a new dishwasher for just a service fee. But in terms of their customer service, connecting with a live representative can occasionally present challenges if the issue doesn’t fit standard protocols

    Recently, I needed service on my dryer and the technician, Alex, came to the rescue. Initially, my dryer had issues with the motor not turning the drum effectively, which also impacted the drying process. Alex tackled the problem step-by-step, first substituting the belt and advising me to observe the changes. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the complete fix, so he promptly returned to change the entire motor. This personalized service was truly commendable.

    Throughout this ordeal, Alex demonstrated relentless dedication, even addressing a minor mishap—a scratch on the dryer door. Despite accidentally ordering wrong or slightly damaged doors, he was incredibly communicative, apologizing, and accommodating until the issue was finally resolved with a new door. While some confusion with the initial door orders extended the appointment, his commitment to ensuring everything was set right remained unfaltered.

    American Home Shield sent a technician to address an issue where the refrigerator door wouldn't close. Initially, it seemed resolved, but it reopened, necessitating a part replacement. Unfortunately, as the refrigerator was quite old, a new unit was recommended.

    The claim process with American Home Shield was straightforward, yet I experienced delays in getting a compensation gift card. Initially, I expected it within three days, but it took almost two weeks. Compounding the frustration, when a new refrigerator was finally delivered by Lowe's, it arrived dented, and there were issues installing it. Ultimately, I'm left with two refrigerators at home – one dysfunctional and another only partially set up as they struggled with the installation.

    Despite these hurdles, I appreciate their service overall. However, there's room for improvement. The deductible has risen from $85 to $125, which feels excessive, especially when considering additional charges they attempted to levy when repeated issues surfaced just outside a 30-day window. While they finally compensated me, this aspect could definitely improve.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been quite frustrating recently. I had a claim for a pool heater last year and they denied it. They asked me to repair it, so I did. However, instead of hiring the home warranty company's pool guy who came out to look at my unit, I used my own service provider because it's the person I've used for a long time. I spent $800 to have the pool heater fixed and it was in complete working function. Unfortunately, the pool heater failed again this year, and when I made a claim once more, it was denied yet again. American Home Shield talked to their pool guy and he said, "I don't know that you really fixed it 'cause I didn't come back and see it."

    American Home Shield asked me to send documentation and I did. They sent it to their claims review committee, and they denied the claim again, quoting some section. They said it didn't pass visual mechanical tests, which apparently meant that they looked at it and it didn't look like it worked. It just sounds like a way of saying, "We just don't wanna pay you." Moreover, when I sought clarity on terms like "visual mechanical tests," nobody - not even customer service representatives or supervisors - seemed to fully understand them. They had to put in a request, which took one to two days for someone to call me back, and then the supervisor didn't know what to do either and said they couldn't do anything.

    It's challenging because I'm familiar with industries like healthcare where there are structured appeal processes. With American Home Shield, there's virtually no way to dispute the denial of a claim. There's no processing, and conversations with support have often been with representatives based overseas, who also seem limited in their ability to aid. There's no way to talk to anybody with authority if I want to dispute a claim or to prove that I have a claim that's valid.

    Although I've experienced some smooth claims processes with American Home Shield in the past, this particular aspect has been disheartening. A defined dispute mechanism or authority at the company to reassess claims could significantly enhance the service they offer. Despite the hiccups, on a scale of 1 to 5, I'd rate them a 3 mainly due to past positive experiences. Nevertheless, more transparency and communication would be appreciated.

For instance, if the oven in the store costs $3000, the compensation provided was only about $1500, leaving me with an out-of-pocket expense. This feels inequitable to me.

    Moreover, the vendors provided by American Home Shield sometimes do not meet expectations. This, coupled with difficulties in communication because of language barriers when calling customer service, often left me frustrated. In particular, speaking to representatives who struggled with English made resolving issues challenging.

    Another inconvenience I've encountered is the change of policy numbers with each renewal. It's confusing, especially since we hold multiple policies across various properties. It would be more coherent for the policy number to remain consistent year over year.

    These experiences have been substantial enough that I often consider discontinuing the service altogether. Taking into account all these factors, I would rate American Home Shield at about a 3 out of 5.

    My refrigerator had some issues a few months ago and the process of setting up a service call online was pretty straightforward. A technician arrived from Superior Appliance, assessed the problem, and ordered the necessary parts, which were done effectively. After the repair was completed, the refrigerator has been functioning well since.

    Throughout my time with American Home Shield, which started around late September or early October of last year, I found their overall service to be quite average. If someone asked me about my experience, I would probably say they were alright. The pricing was as expected but nothing stood out in terms of exceptional value or quality.

    In order to provide a bit of consistency regarding customer service and online setup, I would say my outlook has remained constantly satisfactory but not remarkable in any measurable way.

    I had a clogged sink drain and the service provider, Mile High Plumbing, showed up. What started as a standard issue turned into quite the fiasco. I was initially given an appointment between 3 to 5 PM, so my son made arrangements to be there. Unfortunately, the plumber showed up at 1 PM, without notice, leading to a missed appointment as no one was present at that time. Their coordination left much to be desired, as I was later told it was my fault for not being there, despite our scheduled time.

    After a heated exchange with their office, they finally arranged for another service call the following morning. The plumber arrived but without the necessary tools—a longer snake that was previously used and needed for this particular job. Thankfully, due to a cleanout halfway through the house, the plumber managed to clear the blockage, but not without extra hassle and scheduling issues.

    Though the problem was eventually resolved, the ordeal left me feeling like I wouldn't choose this service again if given the option. I found their approach less than professional, attempting to place blame for their own scheduling errors. Their service to American Home Shield felt fractured, with unacceptable customer handling practices. In terms of interaction, one surprisingly pleasant note was finding out the company was owned by a woman, who I did interact with, though even she admitted to the inflexible demands of their service hours.

    Regarding cost, while the service charges are included in my American Home Shield policy, I've seen similar services advertised for less. Considering my unique experience, I can only recommend caution if you choose this service and suggest clarifying time slots more explicitly.

    In sum, while the sink issue was eventually fixed, the journey to get there was fraught with missed communications, scheduling mishaps, and inadequate equipment preparedness.

    Good afternoon, Elna,

    The appointment was from 3 pm to 5 pm as stated. I spoke with the owner of the company and she stated that the tech called you at 2 pm to see if they could come early. She states you told the tech you were at the golf course, and then hung up the phone. This confused the tech, and he thought you were not going to be home at all, so they did not go to the home. So, apparently this was a misunderstanding, and miscommunication. I do apologize.

    The tech did go back the next day and complete the work.

    Thank you for the feedback, and letting us know there was a misunderstanding, but that the job was successfully completed.

    I had an issue with my plumbing a few weeks ago, and KNS Plumbing was dispatched to help out. Even though the technician was friendly and informative, they couldn’t fix the problem with my old commode due to its age. The plumber explained how the system functioned, providing clarity, but ultimately said there wasn't anything they could do to resolve the issue.

    What stood out to me was that despite the kind service on this occasion, my past experience in December was quite different and not very positive. They didn’t manage to solve the plumbing problem either, which left me unimpressed at that time.

    However, having used American Home Shield's services for over three years, I find their claim process and services satisfyingly reliable, especially since I also have their coverage for a rental apartment. I’ve even recommended them to other people due to these positive experiences.

    Recently, Rooter King Plumbing came out because my mother-in-law had clogged the toilet using paper towels. Although I managed to clear it before they arrived, the technician took the time to ensure everything was fine by using a snake for the job. He was very professional and quite understanding about the situation, given my mother-in-law's age. He even suggested hiding the paper towels, which we found helpful. The experience was seamless.

    I've stuck with American Home Shield for about 25 years now, across different homes, due to their responsive nature. Most of the service professionals they've sent over have been satisfactory, except for one minor incident. However, the refrigerator issue I faced was quite exhaustive. It took about seven visits to identify that the problem was with the wiring harness at the refrigerator's back, which had to be entirely replaced. Though we've still got a minor issue with registering ice cube shapes, I'm ultimately pleased with the service.

    I had a plumbing issue. We had Patriot Plumbing come out because we discovered water leaking due to the shower head spraying against the back of the drywall. They cut two holes, one upstairs and one downstairs, to investigate and determine the cause. Fortunately, they pinpointed the shower head as the issue and suggested that we replace it. They also gave us a referral to another company to check if we needed a dehumidifier to dry out the area thoroughly.

    Upon contacting the referral company, they informed us that extensive drying was unnecessary, so we ended up handling the drywall repairs ourselves. So far, I've been with American Home Shield for about three months. When it comes to submitting a claim, they seem responsive and on top of it.

    American Home Shield's customer service is always very polite and prompt. However, there was an incident that left me somewhat dissatisfied. I had an issue with my HVAC system that needed a thermostat replacement. The service technician they sent was efficient, and everything initially seemed fine. Unfortunately, I was informed that my particular issue wasn't covered under my Home Shield policy because the thermostat was deemed a "smart system," which they argued was exempt.

    I referred to my policy during a conversation with a manager, pointing out the clause that suggested it should be covered. Despite that, they seemed to have their perception set and didn’t consider my point. This forced me to pay out of pocket, which I found frustrating, especially during the winter when I couldn’t delay the repair. I shared this incident with Home Shield directly via email, reiterating my thoughts and concerns, but there was no follow-up from their end, which added to my disappointment. Despite the setback, I decided to continue with their service, hoping for more favorable interactions in the future.

    One of my toilets was leaking at the bottom and the technician from Pioneer Plumbing identified a damaged wax ring, which was causing water damage beneath the floors and in the walls. He came in to fix the toilet and recommended bringing in a restoration company to address the structural damage. The toilet was working fine when the technician left, but then it had to be removed. We had to tear down everything and we're currently undergoing reconstruction. Once all that is over, then we have to have the toilet installed again.

    I've had other experiences with them, such as a claim last year involving my dishwasher, which unfortunately broke down. Although American Home Shield managed the repairs smoothly, the replacement dishwasher didn’t meet my expectations. The model provided had a poor reputation, and I wasn’t given the option to choose a different one.

    I've been using American Home Shield's services since 2005, when some guys that I worked with recommended them after my air conditioning system broke, and I didn't have a home warranty at the time.

The technicians are thorough, taking about an hour to complete their checklist, and they consistently guide me on preventive measures. This helps me keep my air conditioner in good shape.

    Generally, my experience with American Home Shield has been positive. However, there was one notable incident involving a contracted vendor who did a subpar job on my dishwasher.

While this was frustrating, I understand that American Home Shield contracts out their services, and my issue lay with the specific contractor.

    Stay away from American Home Shield. Through their advertisement and sales calls, they confirm that existing conditions are covered from day one. However, they use the reason of "pre-existing" condition to reject your repair claim if the repair cost is large. They will not share their detail contract with you prior to starting your monthly payments. Be aware of this and stay away from American Home Shield...

    Hello Kiran. Thank you for your feedback. I would like to address the concerns that you raised.

    It is true that AHS service requests cover existing service failures. If the technician assigned to diagnose determines that the failure occurred due to normal wear and tear during the unit's operation, a repair or replacement will be authorized. However, our plans explicitly do not cover pre-existing failures; that is, failures caused by factors which pre-date the start of the contract. There is also no coverage for failures that were caused by any factor other than normal wear and tear which occurred during correct operation and the covered time of the appliance or system. In the event that a coverage denial is issues, we give the customer the option to have a second opinion diagnosis conducted by a new vendor who will not be informed of the details of the service request. If the 2nd Opinion vendor finds that the initial diagnosis was wrong, then we assign that vendor to complete a repair. However, if they confirm the initial diagnosis, then the denial will stand.

    Please be aware that it is not true that contract details are not shared with customers prior to the start of the contract. At our website, we provide detailed sample contracts for all covered regions of the United States. Customers can input their region and see details of the coverage for contracts in that area, without needing to purchase a contract first. The link to use is https://www.ahs.com/contracts/.

    In the case of your recent HVAC service request, the unit was not in proper working condition prior to the start of the contract. A simple mechanical test would have determined this, meaning that it could reasonably be known to you prior to the contract's start. This was the reason the service claim coverage was denied.

    If you have additional questions or concerns, you can feel free to reach out to our team directly using the email address socialmedia@ahs.com.

    AHS sends out terrible contractors that are impossible to get ahold of. AHS wasn't even able to contact their own contractor for my service request to give me an update. They let my basement flood for over 72 hours and then they denied payment for the problem stating "normal wear and tear". It causes thousands in additional damage and they refused to do anything to remedy the situation. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

    I encountered a problem when my gas appliance's igniter malfunctioned due to a short caused by a spill while cooking. I submitted a claim with American Home Shield, and the technician sent by Americare Appliance Repair was polite and seemed knowledgeable. He assessed the loss but informed me that despite an extensive search, replacement parts for my particular model’s igniter were unavailable. Consequently, they decided to replace the entire appliance, even though I initially only sought a repair.

    Overall, my experience with the service has been positive, and I'm satisfied with the replacement appliance, which is quite similar to my previous one. For now, I don't see any need for improvements from American Home Shield, and I’d gladly provide positive feedback on the service received.

    I started with AHS around 11/2023 and after several months of not receiving anything in the mail, about my plan so I decided to google the number and call customer service the person was very helpful and friendly and what I would have thought to be accurate information. I asked her if she can email my policy to my personal email and she did and stated that it might take up to 24 hours of receipt. That is fine I just need it in or to know what is in my plan. That is when she started telling me what was covered under policy. She stated you have the best one, roof is included. That is when I set up my account online and able to review what my plan covers or says it covers.

    We have had multiple storms back to back and my basement flooded and roof leaking. So because the customer service person I spoke with told me that I had roof coverage and got the link to hook up my own account I might not have known or paid attention to this. I called for service for my roof and I got the ball rolling at least I thought. I paid $125.00 for the service call fee to come out and review the property to start the process. They came to my home the contractor and took all the information and inspection told me to next steps.

    Once AHS got the information I was notified and told me the steps. Then it was declined due to an error on their part roofing is not covered under my plan. The decline and the error on the plan were all on the portal, no professional follow-up or explanation and then took my monthly payment out with no hesitation. But mind you the customer Serice person last year I talked said it was covered. The why on earth would you have a customer already paying monthly since 11/2023 and not 1 claim, if not covered because you now have a claim for it, it is not covered.

    Why accept my money and claim if it was an error on your part as you said I feel they should have taken care of the bill or half. This is not good customer service and has left a bad taste in my mouth because I feel the monthly billing I have paid is what I could have used to pay this $10,000.00 bill this contractor sent to you to decline. I am right now wondering if this is a reliable, trustworthy company for me to continue giving my money for service in these day and times. Will all services that is requested just an additional payment for that month.

    Worst customer service I have ever experienced. They don’t follow through or contact you in the time frame that they promise. They also don’t complete anything within a timely manner. They took 1.5 weeks just to fix our broken water heater. Another time our furnace went out when it was in the negatives out, took them a week to fix it. They have contractors that are small businesses that can’t handle all the service calls so that also adds to the time to get things fixed.

    When I faced an issue with my water heater, I initially went through High Priority Plumbing as directed, but their service was lacking—they simply took a picture and stated it was broken without a thorough inspection. They also conveyed that anything happening within the first month would be labeled as pre-existing, which is unfair. Seeking clarity, I got a second opinion from Pronto Plumbing, who explained that issues like mine aren't obvious to homeowners until something significant, like a flood, occurs.

    American Home Shield denied my claim under the pre-existing conditions clause, insisting it was a known issue, which doesn't make sense to me because there was no evidence of a problem until the flooding happened. Despite being assured my policy covered such occurrences once active, I've had no resolution and the water heater remains unfixed. I've had my policy for over a month now, activated on the 4th of last month, but this hasn't been the smooth experience I hoped for.

    Hello Brittney. Thank you for providing your feedback on the recent service request. I was able to locate your service request and review the notes.

    Your contract started on 5/4. The service request for the failed water heater was placed the next day, on 5/5. Both the initial assigned technician and the second opinion vendor confirmed that the cause of the failure existed prior to the start of your contract. Unfortunately, this is situation which is clearly described in our contracts, and it is not a covered repair.

    In my experiences with American Home Shield, most of the time they've been reliable and productive in addressing our issues efficiently. However, during one particular incident involving my air conditioning units, I faced some dissatisfaction. I have two AC units, and when they both broke down, the automated system only recognized one. This required me to make a call to have the second unit added, which nearly resulted in being charged twice. This miscommunication was frustrating, and I thought that system improvements could alleviate such issues for customers.

    Aside from that hiccup, the service has been reasonably satisfactory. Their pricing seems in line with the increasing costs of materials and inflation, something that affects many similar services. Although not thrilled about the rising costs, I understand them as part of the current economic landscape.

    Once scheduled, the technician's visit went smoothly; however, the downside was the one-week wait for them to arrive, which added some inconvenience to the overall experience. Despite these setbacks, I would rate American Home Shield a 4, primarily due to their generally dependable service and past positive encounters. The recent issue, albeit resolved over time, highlighted areas for enhancement in their system and service delivery.

    The technician sent by American Home Shield was punctual and pleasant, which I appreciated, but the visit left me wanting more in terms of communication and documentation. Usually, I receive a summary of what was checked and any further actions needed, but this time, I got neither, which made me a bit unsure about what was actually done.

    The technician assured me everything was fine, but I was hoping for a more comprehensive overview or at least some documentation for my records. Over the years with American Home Shield, I've always been provided with detailed paperwork, so this deviation was surprising. It would be nice if we could have the same people. In the last four years, I've had the same company from American Home Shield. But they still sent somebody else.

    When it comes to American Home Shield's pricing, it does seem to increase steadily, which is something I've noticed every year. While the cost seems high on some occasions, the value becomes apparent if there’s a need for major repairs, like refrigerator or air conditioning unit replacements. In those cases, the cost justifies itself.

    I'd definitely recommend American Home Shield for the peace of mind it provides, though I'd hope for more consistent and thorough communication from their contractors in the future. Despite some hiccups, they've mostly delivered on their promises, and that reliability is comforting, especially during the warm season here in Texas.

    I went with American Home Shield about four years ago, back in 2021, and overall, my experience with them has been positive. However, there was a situation with Fletcher Heating and Air that I wasn't too thrilled about. They came to repair my unit, but after their attempt, the cover wouldn't fit correctly. Their temporary fix was to tape it, which came loose after about a week. Eventually, they removed the filter casing to get the cover back on, which seemed like a makeshift solution since the unit used to fit together just fine before this service.

    The technicians from American Home Shield are generally competent, but this instance with Fletcher wasn’t their best work. Previously, with other technicians, everything was smooth. Despite this issue, my unit is still functioning well, which is a relief. I've appreciated the service from American Home Shield as a whole.

The technician was polite, and he diagnosed the issue, saying he'd order the necessary part. However, the earliest he could come back would be nearly two weeks later. Going that long without a washer was inconvenient. It seems they are short on manpower, which has caused delays in handling repairs.

    This wasn't the first time I'd experienced delays. For instance, my hot water tank was leaking, and it took five days for someone to come out to resolve it. Although the actual repair guys were willing to work, they seemed overwhelmed with jobs. Everything eventually got fixed, but these wait times can be frustrating.

    I've had American Home Shield for a while, and while the technicians tend to be knowledgeable and friendly, the delay in processing claims and getting repairs done is a bit disappointing. There was even a time at Christmas when an appliance broke, and they couldn't address it until after New Year, leaving me without the means to bake holiday goodies. In another instance, during my husband's health crisis, they took a long time to respond, which forced me to handle things out of pocket. It's just hard sometimes to feel confident everything will be okay given these experiences.

    I had scheduled my biannual maintenance for my air conditioner, but before that scheduled maintenance happened, my air conditioner quit working. I called American Home Shield back up and told them that I didn't need maintenance, I needed a repair. They were very proactive and canceled the maintenance visit and rescheduled it as a repair. They also gave me the vendor's number.. I called them and told them I got a house that was not cooling. They told me the soonest date they could get out. They sent their technician out who's been to our house numerous times and does a great job. He diagnosed the problem immediately. The capacitor was bad. He'd identified that it was a couple of maintenance visits ago. He replaced it, and everything was back up and running.

    When we bought a house in Georgia in 2019, it came with American Home Shield. First, it was paid for by the seller then we renewed and kept our contract with them until we sold the house in 2022. When we bought a house in Florida, we stayed with American Home Shield as they've been a good partner. We had a couple of things that were problematic in Georgia that they took care of very nicely. Since we've been here in our house in Florida, we've used them for the biannual maintenance on the AC and heating system in the house. We also had a dishwasher that we had a problem with. We did a virtual meet with them, and they determined that we needed to have a technician come out. The technician came out and replaced the soap dispenser on the dishwasher.

    I've generally told people when they've asked that we've had good experience with American Home Shield. But one has to understand that it's a warranty policy and there are limits and restrictions, things that are covered and things that aren't. Our next-door neighbors went with American Home Shield based on a recommendation we had. But I don't think their experience was quite as good as ours so they discontinued.

    A lot of times I just call up, get a customer service rep on the phone and schedule an appointment that way. If you have a preference and want to make a request for a particular vendor that's in American Home Shield's list of vendors, you couldn't do that through the online app. You have to call. But we've been very fortunate since we moved to Florida that we've had the same company come out except once. The second company they sent for the maintenance was good as well.

    Over the years, the annual price has gone up, which most things do, and the service coverages have gone down, which that happens a lot. But that's normal. I don't know that it would be any different with anybody else, but I know that American Home Shield is one of the top two rated home warranty companies out there. Before I had American Home Shield, I had an annual maintenance contract with my HVAC company. They came out twice a year. The prices are comparable from a servicing perspective. When we had a motor go out on an air conditioning unit, I asked the guy what would that part cost if I had to have him come out here. He said they would have charged me $600. At the time, $75 for my service visit was all it cost me.

    I had an issue with my stove, which resulted from a tripped breaker. Unfortunately, I had to pay $100 just to discover that the solution was as simple as flipping a switch. Given that I'm homebound and the breaker is outside, maneuvering in rainy weather is challenging. Therefore, even if I had realized it might be the breaker, accessing it would have been tough.

    When my stove made a loud bang, it frightened me, as if something had exploded. It turned out to be stronger than I thought, leaving visible damage inside. Initially, I didn’t suspect the breaker since other appliances were working. It was only after a conversation with my sister that the idea of a breaker issue came up, but by then, I had already contacted American Home Shield.

    Their technician from EJ's Appliances, while brief, was professional, cordial, and patient with my questions. Yet, the thought of the repair costing more than when I first joined American Home Shield in 2002, struck me. Back then, it was about $45; experiencing the current $100 cost for an appointment weighed heavily on my budget.

    Despite that, I've chosen to stick with American Home Shield over another company constantly mailing me offers. Having been with them since 2002, I acknowledge their efficient service when needed.

    My recent encounter with American Home Shield was quite frustrating. It all began with an appliance issue that needed attention at the start of April. The process stretched for nearly two months, full of repeated visits and part replacements, yet nothing seemed to resolve the underlying problem.

    Initially, they sent out a company that seemed more interested in swapping parts than diagnosing the issue properly. After multiple failed attempts, another contractor, Anything Appliance, took over. They were somewhat more effective than the previous ones I've dealt with for other repairs. The struggle continued until eventually, every part of the appliance had been replaced except for the wiring harness. Despite all efforts, the problem persisted.

    It was only when Anything Appliance declared that further repair attempts were futile that American Home Shield decided to replace the entire unit, which finally got delivered. However, the ordeal doesn't end there. The installation was not sorted out by them; I had to hire a contractor to get it installed.

    In the past, there have been smoother experiences with American Home Shield, but this one was far from satisfactory. I would rate this experience a 2 on a scale of 1 to 5.

The fact that it takes writing reviews on BBB, Consumer Affairs, and social media to elicit a response is very frustrating. There is no way to contact a helpful person through the provided contact information. Calls go to a call center overseas and the folks there do their job and read the script they've been given, but they have no ability to connect you to someone who can respond to an issue outside of the script.

    Original Review: I have had AHS for over 5 years now. I had a decent experience when my water heater went out and needed to be replaced. However, with my central AC systems, I have had extremely poor support from AHS. They keep fixing pieces of the system - which requires re-charging with refrigerant to the tune of $1000 out of pocket every time, not to mention continually dumping refrigerant into the atmosphere.

    The contractors sent to do the work have been good - and they recommend to AHS that the system needs to be replaced - but AHS keeps trying to fix it piece by piece. My latest request, all three of my systems are out and I cannot get AHS to respond to me for an update on what they are going to do. The contractor has submitted their estimate, but AHS will not call me and the call center keeps "putting a note in your file" to have someone call me. Every time, the promise they will call "definitely within 12 hours this time" - but no call. I cannot get in touch with anyone above the foreign call center to give me a status.

    I'm sorry that you feel that the service is not meeting your expectations. I'd like to address some of the grievances that you expressed. Regarding the price increase of fees, these are sometimes necessary because of the rising cost of services and parts . AHS still provides access to repair services that will average a much lower cost than what a consumer on their own will pay for a major repair or replacement. We still cover a wide range of of repairs for the appliances, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems in your home.

Everything has been functioning well since then, so I’ve had no complaints on that front.

    Nevertheless, the pricing raised some concerns for me. Compared to other warranties I have that are $65, American Home Shield's services cost $125, which I find to be quite hefty. Additionally, although improvements have been made with their current choice of technicians, particularly with them being more efficient than before, I faced a recurring issue with a fairly new washing machine. The water wouldn't drain properly from the bleach dispenser, affecting the color of my clothes. Despite multiple visits, the solution suggested didn't seem effective, leading to further frustration.

    Overall, I’d rate my experience with American Home Shield as quite satisfactory, but the high price and unresolved washing machine issue prevent me from giving a full endorsement.

    American Home Shield’s customer service is generally prompt and satisfactory when I submit a claim. However, the technicians they send out can be hit or miss – some are excellent, while others don't meet expectations. In my recent experience with a heating and air claim, the technician was great and fixed everything as needed, which left me satisfied. Despite some inconsistency with their service providers, my overall experience has been fairly average.

    I've been suffering with American Home Shield for a couple months because I have some issue here in my backyard, and they didn't solve it yet. I already had an American Home Shield plan warranty for my home, and then I had a swimming pool, so I called earlier in September 2024 to add on the swimming pool. I was very clear with the agent that she took the request from me, and then I told her I have an underground swimming pool with many accessories including a remote control. I asked if an oasis would be covered, and she said it will. I asked her four times, “That would be covered?” She said, “Yes, that would be covered.” “Okay, So can you add on?” She said, “Yes, I'll add on. Nothing will be charged now. They're gonna start charging you from next year from February.” I said, “That's fine.”

    After a couple of weeks, I had some problem with the remote control when it did not turn on the waterfalls and rockfalls. I called, and they charged me $100 for the service fees. Then they sent me a technician who said, “No, I'm just doing the above-ground pool, and we are not doing the accessories.” I called AHS again. They said, “Yes, your plan does not cover this type of accessories.” I said, “Okay. So can you cancel it?” They said, “No, we cannot cancel it after 30 days.” I told them I asked for an underground pool to be covered and not an above-ground pool. They said, “No, we cannot cancel.” I told them that they have to listen to the call. They didn't do anything.

    Then last month, I had a problem with the breakdown in the electric outside in the backyard and my swimming pool equipment and the sump pump. The sump pump stopped working. I called American Home Shield for them to send me somebody. Then I had one ceiling fan that was not working. They sent me the electrical technician from BW. He looked at the breakdown in the backyard. He said, “No, this is not my place to work. This is not my expertise. I'm here only for electrical issue. And then any pool equipment, that is not related to me. So, I'm gonna ask American Home Shield to send for you somebody to take care of your pool equipment."

    I told him, “This is not the pool equipment. The breakdown is a switch inside the electric panel, a switch to break down. So this is not the full equipment." He said, “No. This one it's related to one of this equipment. It's one of this equipment. It's not working, so this is not related to me.” I asked him about the ceiling fan. He said, “No, the ceiling fan, there is no remote.” I told him, “Here is the remote control that was working perfectly fine with this fan.” He said, “No, this is not the original remote control.” I told him, “Yes, this is not the original one, because the original one, we lost it, so I purchased this one through Amazon as a universal remote control.”

    He said, “No, this is not the right remote control. I cannot fix it.” I told him, “If you have a Samsung TV and you lost the remote control, the remote control got broken, so you're gonna throw the TV or you're gonna purchase the other remote control?” He said, “Sir, I'm not gonna argue with you.” Then he started being very rude with me. I told him, “Okay. That's fine. Do whatever you want. Just do what you can do. And what you cannot, just report it to the American Home Shield, and I'm gonna report you as well, so do whatever you want.” He left. I called American Home Shield and told them what happened. They apologized and said, “Sorry. We will not send him anymore.” I said, “Okay. And now the problem is still there.”

    Then they said, “Okay. He reported to us the ceiling fan doesn't have the remote. The one that you have, the problem that you have is not there, so we cannot cover. We're sorry. And then we'll refund for you the $100 for the service fee. We're gonna send you somebody for the pool equipment.” I said, “That's fine.” When the guy from the pool company came, he checked my equipment. He said, “No. This is not related to me. You have to ask them to send you a electrical technician to check why this one is break down. See, there is no power in the switch for the sump pump. There is no power.” He checked with a machine that he had.

    Then I told him the sump power was not working at all. He said, “No, there is no power.” I asked him about the switch. He said the switch is related to electrical technician, and then he left. He didn't do anything. He said, “No, I'm a supervisor. I'm just coming outside here to see what's the problem and tell my technician do this and do that, do this and do that.” He was acting like he's a manager. American Home Shield called me. They said, “Okay. The pool equipment guy said that it's related to electrical technician. We're gonna send you another electric technician to take care of your problem.” Then the same day, I checked my refrigerator, and there was water underground. It's from the pool, so the water has been there for weeks now. It broke my refrigerator, the one refrigerator outside in the backyard, and the patio floor.

    I called American Home Shield. I told them that now I have these two things broken because of the water, and because the problem was not fixed from the first place. They said, “Sorry, we are not covering the secondary damage. It’s not covered by your plan.” I told them, “But this is your problem. It's not my problem. Your problem because you keep sending me the wrong technician and the wrong person, and they did not fix my problem. My problem is still there for a month now.” American Home Shield said, “Okay. We're gonna send you another technician for the pool equipment.” I said, “That's fine.” And then they said, “They're gonna call you to set an appointment with you.” Last Friday, I saw in my security camera that there was somebody in my backyard. He roamed around and then he left.

    Then I found a phone call and a message was left. She was saying that my technician was there and he was looking for the switch to turn on the sump pump to fix it. He didn't know which one. And then I kept trying to call her. I called the same number that she called me 79 times. The last time, I called this number and then I told her, "Okay. This guy, how come he accessed my backyard without my permission? Second, my dog is at the backyard. I thank God that I did not unleash the dog before I left. If this dog is unleashed and she heard the technician, I will be the one in trouble. So how come your technician is accessing my backyard without my permission?”

    She texted me back after 79 times calling, and just because I left this message to her in the voice message, and then she texted me. She said, “We tried to call you and tell you that we will be there between 9:00 and 11:00.” I told her, “I don't have any phone call. Nobody called me to set an appointment and nobody let me know that the technician is there. I'm here now at home. Please send your technician back.” She texted me and said, “I'm in a doctor appointment. I cannot answer right now.”

    I said, “Okay. I'm at home now. I came from work and I'm sitting at home now. I'm waiting for your technician. Please send your technician back.” She stopped responding to me. I called American Home Shield, and then they even tried to reach her four times. She never got to her. I said, “This not the professional company to deal with. They are not reachable. How come you're dealing with the company that the lady that she's saying that I'm a doctor appointment? That's not my problem, doctor appointment. I'm calling office. I'm not calling a personal cell phone. I'm calling office. I'm calling company. I'm calling a professional company. They have to let somebody answer the phone.”

    She said, “I'm so sorry. I will put this in top priority to be contacted you as soon as possible.” She kept me on hold like how many times that she's trying to reach her. She didn't reach her. She said that what I only can do now is to email them. I'm here today with the same problem with the broken refrigerator and broken vacuum floor because of the problem and the problem that they did not solve yet. American Home Shield left the customer for months now without solving the problem.

    Our new home came with three air conditioners. I inherited these units without much choice in the selection. For the initial check, I got one unit inspected for free and paid $200 for the others. The first service company, which strangely seemed more like a general construction firm, incorrectly diagnosed a compressor issue.

    I expected them to start another service order on that compressor and I would be paying an extra $125 to get it fixed. But then they called me about seven days later. He said I had to start the American Home Shield service request. And so, I did. Luckily, they assigned Comfort Heating, a contractor I'd worked with satisfactorily in past transactions. When they examined the system, they found no compressor issue, merely topping it up with freon and sealing it, a process with which I was very comfortable, thanks to my trust in their competency.

    My wife likes the idea that I can call one company. It's a stress reliever for her. When I lived in Central Louisiana, I knew the companies I wanted to work with. It's harder to nail it down here and since I've only been here since July of ’23, I'm still running into new things.

    Regarding customer service, interacting through an international call center could be quite robotic, making the experience somewhat frustrating as it involves randomized personnel. This setup might benefit from streamlining or relocating some aspects to the US for more human-centered service continuity. But I was impressed with the lady whom I talked to. She was very capable. I could pick up that the dialect wasn't American, which was how I found out she wasn't in the United States. But it was very good.

    My faucet was leaking and a technician was dispatched within a few days. While the initial response from American Home Shield was fairly prompt, the subsequent service was disappointing. At first, the technician claimed that he couldn’t find the required part, a detached sprayer, and told us he would order it. After two weeks without hearing back, I called them, only to find I’d been put back on the schedule without having received any update. Eventually, the technician returned with an unsuitable faucet, one that resembled a bathroom faucet rather than a proper kitchen sink fixture I needed. American Home Shield assured me that technicians typically secure parts resembling the original, but this wasn’t the case.

    After additional delays and communication issues between American Home Shield and the plumbing company, with contradictory messages from both sides, no repair was completed. I was ultimately offered a financial settlement to get the work done independently, although this should have been handled under policy coverage.

    When I suggested seeking another plumbing provider under my plan, American Home Shield offered this option but demanded an additional service fee. For over a month, I'm left with a still leaking faucet, as I search for someone to complete the repair. This long and frustrating experience makes me hesitant to continue with their service. I even considered calling it quits entirely on services, considering how things played out.

    My dishwasher wasn’t going through its cycles correctly and wasn’t working properly. I reached out to American Home Shield, and they dispatched a technician from a company called Bluffton Appliance. The technician was very knowledgeable, recognizing the issue with my dishwasher model right away, which was apparently a common problem with that make. He quickly diagnosed that the motor needed replacing. He ordered the required part, and returned promptly to fit it when it arrived. The repair was done efficiently, and what's more, they left no mess behind, unlike other service visits I've had in my home.

    I've had American Home Shield for a couple of years, although there was a gap when I had to cancel due to affordability concerns. After re-signing, I found value in the peace of mind it offered. While some might argue that this protection is a waste compared to saving the funds yourself, I found that the service fees are less than what it would cost if I didn't have the coverage, especially considering the cost of parts and labor without their plan. The overall cost benefits made it worthwhile, offering coverage for major appliance issues with only a small service fee of $125 per call.

    Overall, my experience with American Home Shield has been positive this time around. Even after a less-than-ideal experience with them a few years back, particularly with an AC issue, I would now rate them highly. Based on this recent seamless service experience, I can confidently recommend their services to others looking for reliable appliance protection.

    My hot water heater went out, which was quite inconvenient. I reported the issue through American Home Shield’s automated system, paid a $125 service fee, and they promptly arranged for Homex Plumbing to address the problem.

    The technician explained that the hot water heater was leaking internally and would need replacing. He temporarily fixed it to provide hot water and then ordered the necessary parts to complete a permanent fix. Within a week, he returned, replaced the faulty unit, and everything functioned perfectly. There was a minor follow-up needed because the water took a long time to heat, but the technician identified another problem where cold water was mixing with hot water. He ordered the required part and resolved it efficiently on his next visit.

    This experience with American Home Shield was seamless and professional. My interactions with them were fast, and the issue was handled with priority. I've been with American Home Shield for about 3 to 4 years, and this was my first significant service request. Given that similar services I researched were more expensive, I find American Home Shield's rates very reasonable. They covered the cost of the replacement hot water heater fully, although I did have to pay $1600 for an upgrade not included in my plan—a cost-effective choice compared to other quotes I received.

    My dryer's roller had gone bad and I reached out to American Home Shield through their online service, which I've used frequently. I appreciate that the process was quite smooth online and the response time was prompt as they handed over the matter to Sears quickly.

    Initially, the service by Sears seemed promising. After my initial claim in early April, Sears promptly contacted me and acknowledged the issue through their AI system. They scheduled an appointment within a week, keeping me informed via constant emails and texts. However, things took a frustrating turn when they rescheduled the appointment at the last minute, not once, but twice — pushing it further by nearly another month without ordering the parts needed initially.

    Despite this setback, American Home Shield was proactive in finding another service provider to expedite the process. Eventually, once the parts arrived, everything was resolved promptly, and the repair was done to satisfaction. I'm relieved that everything is great now, although the delay was not ideal.

    I've been with American Home Shield for about five or six years, and while their service setup is a breeze and I've been mostly satisfied, some bumps along the road have been full of frustrations.

    After some deliberation, I decided to go with American Home Shield, hoping for reliable service and efficient handling of household repairs. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. My main issue has been with my dishwasher, which has been malfunctioning since February. Despite numerous attempts to get it fixed, I am still left without a working appliance.

    Since the beginning of this problem, I've had between 5 to 6 different technicians come to my home to attempt repairs. Each time, I need to coordinate someone at my house, adding to my frustration. Whenever I try to reach out for help or intervention, I'm met with ineffective communication. I once reached out via chat and hoped to speak with a supervisor, only to be misled by a representative's colleague playing unnecessary games, which was both rude and unprofessional.

    The technicians' approach seems haphazard at best. One technician assumed a faulty heating component was the problem, replaced it, yet my dishwasher remained unusable. Additionally, I was told a supposed "speed test" was done, but it clearly did not address the real issue—my dishwasher trips the breaker every time after it goes through the cycle. I've repeatedly communicated this specific problem, yet there has been no resolution. This appliance is about eight years old; it should not be breaking down like this, but more importantly, it needs to be fixed correctly.

    Another layer of frustration has been failing to get a response when trying to schedule yet another service visit. I've been told someone would contact me, but I'm yet to hear back. At this point, I am ready to terminate my service once this predicament is, hopefully, resolved. My dissatisfaction is significant, and I'd rate my experience with American Home Shield a 2 out of 5.

    After encountering issues with a plumbing service through American Home Shield, I felt compelled to express my dissatisfaction with their service. Initially, American Home Shield arranged for Arid Valley plumbing to replace my garbage disposal. While they completed the replacement, it soon started leaking. I reached out on the weekend to have it evaluated but was advised to contact appliance services instead. I insisted and eventually filed a complaint on Monday.

    Despite their attempt to redirect me to another technician, I stood firm, emphasizing the need to go through American Home Shield, though in frustration, I did not use their suggested contractor. In this instance, I had to replace the appliance myself, spending $600, which felt unfair given that I pay $70 monthly for the service.

    Adding to my grievances, I've dealt with customer service issues previously where American Home Shield offered a temporary fee reduction to rectify things. However, repetitive problems make it hard to justify continued reliance on their services for my other rental properties. To top it off, they increase their fees annually without prior notification, which is concerning as I automatically process my payments.

    Considering everything, I rated them quite low out of dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, I am left contemplating canceling my service in favor of private contractors. I hope they take the feedback seriously, as continued support for customers under such circumstances feels lacking.

    Having to deal with my Whirlpool washer was quite the ordeal with American Home Shield. My appliance broke down, and while American Home Shield initially attempted to engage Whirlpool in Wisconsin for repairs, nothing materialized. They even kept sending me email notifications claiming my repair request had been assigned, but truthfully, the folks at Whirlpool seemed to have no record of these requests, leaving me in a frustrating loop between both companies.

    Ultimately, American Home Shield switched over to sending Sears for repairs. Their tech was decent but explained that owing to the age of my machine, parts were no longer available. Despite this, I was continually informed parts were on order, rendering my communication with Sears futile since they were still "looking for parts." It took American Home Shield about a month to recognize Sears could not procure the necessary parts, offering hints of a solution involving a buyout.

    Throughout all this, customer support was lacking, seemingly going in circles without tangible results. More than a month passed without a washing machine, which was truly disheartening. If a zero rating were possible, I’d give them that for leaving me without a solution for such an extended period.

    One of my friends referred me to American Home Shield. I've had their service for about a year now, and while I generally enjoy a patient approach to things, my experience with a recent claim was mixed. The issue arose with my dishwasher, and when the technicians from Bay to Bay Appliance showed up, they diagnosed it as a breaker issue inside the machine. They ultimately got it back to working condition, though I wasn't actively observing their process, so specifics eluded me. Nonetheless, the two technicians were professional and amicable throughout the service.

    Although I have mostly been content, the speed of service has sometimes felt slower than anticipated, a sentiment my wife shares more strongly. However, I've always believed that as long as the job is completed effectively, I can overlook longer waits, given my generally patient nature.

    I initially made a claim because the blower motor of my furnace failed. I paid the $125 service fee, and the technician diagnosed the issue as a bad blower motor, heat strips, and claimed it was due to a power surge. Being an electrical contractor myself, I was sure there had been no power surge, as I installed protective measures and diagnosed such issues regularly.

    I reached back to American Home Shield to explain this wasn't a power surge, but my claim was denied. They sent another technician from a different company who confirmed my suspicion, agreeing it was simply a part failure, not a surge – particularly because if there had been a true power surge, more components would have been affected. Sadly, despite this validation, American Home Shield continuously denied my claim. I ended up buying the $600 part and fixing the problem myself, which was intensely frustrating, especially during such hot weather.

    I recently encountered issues with my air conditioning system, and I reached out to American Home Shield for assistance under my home warranty. The problem was significant, involving both the condenser and the cooling system, which necessitated a complete unit replacement. To my surprise, I was informed that I needed to pay $4,500 out-of-pocket because certain items weren’t covered. This was particularly distressing as I have tenants with medical conditions requiring cool air.

    Despite urgent requests and ongoing discussions, the matter remains unresolved, as I am currently awaiting a cash-out payout for the AC unit replacement. Communication has been lacking since the scheduled follow-up. As a contractor, timely solutions and reliable service are paramount to me, and unfortunately, this experience didn’t meet those standards. Consequently, I cannot, in good faith, recommend American Home Shield to my clients based on this experience.

    My bathtub faucet wouldn't turn off due to a faulty valve, causing some leakage. I already knew what the problem was, but I needed professional help to fix it.

    I experienced a major issue with my fridge, which completely stopped working, including both the freezer and the upper section. Filing a claim with AHS was straightforward and went smoothly. However, getting someone to come and fix the problem took about a week, which was somewhat of a delay considering the urgency of a non-working fridge. Luckily, we had a backup, or it would have been quite problematic.

They ended up using duct tape to seal it, which seems to be working alright for now, albeit not an ideal long-term solution. The technician who came was professional and easy to communicate with. He did well considering the constraints of the refrigerator's design.

    This was our second claim. Our first involved a bathtub water control valve that got stuck in the 'on' position. Frustratingly, they couldn't replace it due to missing parts and did not cover it under warranty, meaning we had to pay out of pocket, which was disappointing.

    I decided to go with American Home Shield because of their warranty coverage on multiple properties. My concern arose when I encountered a plumbing issue where the tub on the second floor started leaking, with water visibly seeping through the ceiling. I soon realized the complexity of the problem; repairing such leaks involved potentially destructive measures either through the ceiling or tiles to identify leaks accurately.

    The technician from More Than Plumbing was excellent, but resolving the problem required more than just a single visit due to the extensive potential damage and the uncertainty of coverage on ceiling alterations by American Home Shield. Knowing they would possibly charge $200 just to determine the necessary repairs was off-putting.

    A bothersome element was the waiting time for communication, which took about five days following the technician's visit. This delay felt inconsiderate, especially since I've faithfully paid monthly for the warranty. Additionally, there was an issue with the automatic deduction for payments being disrupted, leading to a temporarily canceled warranty, which left me feeling unsupported and as if American Home Shield wasn't willing to cooperate.

    In terms of areas for improvement, communication could definitely see enhancements. Better clarity on whether work would be covered before any destructive work begins is crucial to avoid surprises or unwanted out-of-pocket expenses. While my interactions personally would merit a perfect score, the overall inefficiencies bring down my inclination towards the program to a two considering all experiences and encounters.

    I opted for American Home Shield mainly because it provided me peace of mind regarding home repairs for about 23 years. My recent experience was quite challenging, though. I had issues with my AC unit, assuming it to be the source of the problem. I contacted American Home Shield, and they sent Three Brothers Heating to address the situation. It took them three different visits, and the final technician finally identified the actual issue—not with the AC itself, but with the breaker box.

    Unfortunately, this problem continues even after the previous attempts at repairs. When my husband and I detected a burnt plastic smell coming from the breaker, we realized that it might lead to a potential fire hazard. Living in Houston with such heat, not being able to use the AC is unbearable. I was displeased to hear that the vendors wouldn’t be available until Monday. Given the risk this poses, I expected a more urgent response to address the issue. Despite all this, the resolution was only partially expedited to be attended on a Saturday instead.

    Most of my interaction was over phone calls as I needed an immediate hearing for the problem at hand. Even if I've used their online services before and found the interface easy, the urgency of this matter made a direct conversation necessary.

    Despite all these inconveniences, I still hold American Home Shield in high regard due to their historical reliability. Their subscription rates have increased over time, from $27 to a significant $110. Yet, the safety provided made the expense bearable until some representatives seemed to mishandle the severity of issues. Nonetheless, while I’m aware it's not American Home Shield itself that's at fault, a better-coordinated service wouldn't go amiss.

    In conclusion, while I continue to appreciate the reliability American Home Shield historically offered, I urge for a more immediate reaction to time-sensitive situations like fire hazards as I've articulated in my concerns.

    Over the years, the customer service was just okay; they were courteous but not particularly speedy, which is frustrating when dealing with broken appliances. Most recently, I dealt with an issue with my residential heating and air unit. The process took longer than I'd like—I had to wait over a week just for the necessary evaporator coils to be sent to my service provider, Residential Heating and Air. In the past, repairs would have been handled more swiftly since vendors used to manage their own parts inventory. What's more disappointing is the cost. Although American Home Shield supplied the part and covered some minor repairs, I ended up paying nearly $1,500 on top of the $100 service fee to the vendor for things like installing the evaporator coil and doing routine checks. This unexpected expense wasn't something I anticipated as part of my coverage.

    I pay a significant annual premium to American Home Shield, and the additional out-of-pocket costs make me question the value of keeping the service when, in reality, it feels like I'm being penalized for needing to make a claim. At this point, putting that premium into an emergency savings fund seems more practical.

    I've been with American Home Shield for six years. During a recent claim, I called them when my kitchen sink was backed up. Previously, Discount Contractors, a service provider of theirs, handled a similar issue at my home two years ago using a motorized snake to clear the pipes. However, this time, after they left, I found water seeping up through the kitchen floor, which turned out to be caused by a leak that surfaced only after they cleared the blockage. When I attempted to have them address the leak, I was informed I needed to file a new service request and pay again. They eventually sent another technician who identified the issue as a broken plastic washer, which the first technician apparently missed. This resulted in water accumulating under my floors, possibly causing long-term damage.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been frustrating as their contractors often don't fully resolve issues. Previous instances, like when a bathroom knob they replaced broke off during use, have compounded my dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, Pleasant Valley Heating and Air was dispatched through American Home Shield to address the problem. The technician was proficient, taking care of both the fan and another unspecified issue. I found their service to be exemplary as they remained professional throughout the entire process, ensuring I was informed about what was happening each step of the way.

    I'm a long time customer of American Home Shield. My refrigerator's ice maker motor needed servicing. Scheduling and submitting my claim with AHS was straightforward and the customer service I received was satisfactory.

    When the technician arrived to address the repair, he unfortunately did not wear a mask, which was concerning as I had just been discharged from the hospital and was wearing a mask myself. He also coughed while working inside the freezer, making me quite uneasy. However, he managed to complete the necessary repairs, and I’m grateful that our ice maker and water line are functioning well now.

    While I value the warranty services over the years, I have noticed an increase in rates, which has been challenging since I'm physically unable to work at the moment. Any potential discounts for long-time customers would be appreciated. Despite these concerns, my overall satisfaction with American Home Shield remains high.

    I had some plumbing issues in my home. Unfortunately, my recent experience with AHS was less than ideal. I had a situation where Advanced Drains and Plumbing was supposed to unclog a drain and replace a water line. To my surprise, they didn't handle the water line on the first visit, and this oversight flooded my basement when the water was turned on. They did rectify the issue upon return, but the delay was frustrating.

    The technician who came out was quite professional and seemed genuinely nice, but he simply forgot the task due to the other basement sink issue. It wasn't all negative, though. There were several positives to take, including the technician's professional demeanor and willingness to come back to complete the job.

    My main concern was with the fact that unclogging the drain wasn’t covered under my policy, even though I felt it should have been. The specifics were bewildering to me, as the lack of coverage for the basement drain under the slab seemed unjustified.

    I found myself rating my experience with American Home Shield as a 2, primarily due to this unexpected hitch in my home maintenance plan. If someone from AHS can provide clarity on why the clogged drain wasn't covered, that would be much appreciated.

    The evaporator coil on the AC needed to be replaced, and that's when things got frustrating. The initial problem wasn't with the technician, but rather with the lack of efficiency from both American Home Shield and Integrity Air Conditioning. It was during a hot summer, with temperatures around 90 degrees, and the repair dragged on for over a month, which was really hard to bear.

    From the start, Integrity Air Conditioning took an undue amount of time to send a report. This, coupled with a delay of approximately 10 days from American Home Shield to approve the work, reflected a sluggish pace on both sides. It felt unacceptable to endure such delays, particularly in uncomfortable weather conditions.

    My primary suggestion for American Home Shield would be to significantly improve their time frames. Realistically, from inspection to installation should not exceed five days. It’s an emergency during summer, after all. Despite these challenges, I decided to rate their service a 3 out of 5 stars.

Given that I'd recently injured my wrist and couldn't tighten the part properly, I called AHS. They promptly sent a plumber who efficiently fixed the leakage issue. The technicians they send out are consistently exceptional.

    However, there's a particular problem with their service options. In my policy document, there’s a category labeled as "other," but this choice doesn't seem to exist on their website, which makes inquiries frustrating at times.

    I thought my breaker tripped and it turned out that the only issue was that I didn't successfully trip it. On another occasion, American Home Shield sent someone to check the AC unit, and a component needed replacement. This checkup cost me $100, and I was charged an additional $100 for the actual repair, a cost I found excessive for a part valued at $25. This was quite frustrating, and following this experience, I decided not to have more AC checkups with them.

    Given that they are an insurance company, I wouldn't give them the highest rating, probably around a one star.

    The heat pump blower wasn't working and when I called American Home Shield, I had a great experience with the customer service rep. They sent someone out and I’ve had no other problems. I’m ready for the summer. I’ve been with AHS for 12 years without a break and I still have them because they work. The price keeps on going up though, and some of the services like the warranties get less. AHS sets a price and they have two different selections you can pick depending on what you want to cover. But with a 30-year-old house, you want as much cover as possible. So, you have to go with the higher one, where you're most likely gonna get caught sooner or later. When it comes to their online service, 9 times out of 10, I'd like to speak to a person. I want them to know the product, a brand that I'm dealing with, and knowing the brand depends on who they should be sending to your house. You don't get that option online.

    Good afternoon, Chad,

    Thank you for the review, which does help us better serve our customers. So, in this case, had you paid the non-covered amount to the AHS vendor, and had the AHS vendor complete the work under the warranty, then AHS would have honored the repair for the tech to go back out and correct the installation or repair issue. However, since you did take the cash out, based on the covered amount authorized for the repair/replace issue, and used your own vendor, then your own vendor would have been responsible for their work within their guarantee time. I am so sorry that happened to you.

    I've had the chance to work with American Home Shield for about 20 years and the experience has been positive for the most part. But precautions are still crucial due to possible exclusions or limitations related to certain home appliances and systems.

    On a recent occasion, I encountered an issue with a toilet that wouldn't flush, so I placed a service request on a Sunday. To my surprise, J & K Plumbing promptly scheduled my appointment by Monday afternoon. The plumber, Dustin, arrived on Tuesday morning within the scheduled window, quickly identified the problem, and had it resolved without delay, getting everything back in working order.

    I would certainly give AHS’ customer service a top-notch rating. The online service is also user-friendly, easy to navigate, and their response time is pretty fast. It's worth noting that their pricing is quite typical for the market, which I would rate as average.

    I recently reached out to Pinnacle Appliance Repair through my American Home Shield plan due to a problem with the refrigerator's filter system causing leaks. They responded promptly, coming out the next day, and successfully resolved the issue. This wasn't my first interaction; Pinnacle has previously worked on my stove and washer with excellent results, demonstrating their reliability. However, I did experience issues with an electrical repair vendor. The first electrician sent out, from a company that I believe is a small operation, was completely unresponsive and unprofessional, causing unnecessary trouble. Luckily, American Home Shield stepped in and replaced them with Cobb Electric, who did a brilliant job fixing my ceiling fan issues.

    While my encounters with appliance repairs have generally been positive, I've faced a challenge with a refund issue from American Home Shield. I was charged twice for the same service and was promised a refund of $125, but despite assurances, it hasn't been processed yet. The company has been attentive, though I intend to follow up regarding this pending refund.

    In terms of services offered and experiences, I've generally been satisfied with American Home Shield and, barring the refund and electric repair issues, find their service and response to be commendable. I hope these matters are swiftly resolved.

    When the water tank of my toilet developed a small crack and began leaking, thinking it would be covered, I reached out to American Home Shield. They sent a plumber who initially claimed that because I had installed a separate bidet seat on a regular toilet, rather than having a toilet with an integrated bidet, it wouldn’t be covered.

    After I clarified this with the plumber, they apparently reported to American Home Shield that the damage resulted from misuse and abuse, which was not true. To make matters worse, despite waiting a week, I received no follow-up from them. I had to proactively reach out myself, only to be told another plumber would be sent for a second opinion.

    We encountered a water leak in one of the hot water lines. The issue was simple; it turned out just to be a case of the shark bite fitting not being closed all the way, something my husband couldn't do, but the technician fixed it quickly.

    On another occasion, our water heater stopped working. It was an issue relating to a mislabeled breaker outside, but fortunately, the technicians were able to address it efficiently, leaving the water heater working perfectly.

    After experiencing a frustrating situation, I dealt with a significant issue related to a service call from Sears arranged through American Home Shield. Initially, my appointment with Sears was canceled three times on the day of the service, causing me considerable inconvenience. Moreover, the repair was never completed, although Sears informed American Home Shield that it was.

    My interactions with American Home Shield have been unsatisfactory as well since I've mostly been getting the runaround. Upon the last cancellation, I requested a cash-out option to resolve the issue myself, as I found Sears unreliable. Instead of facilitating a cash-out, Sears closed the service ticket as if the job was done, leaving it unresolved when I communicated with American Home Shield.

    Throughout this ordeal, less than a year into having the service, I haven't had other repairs prior to this incident with them. Given this experience, my rating for American Home Shield is at the lower end. While their website proved functional for what I needed, my disappointment with the customer support and unresolved service issues has left me disillusioned.

    With my recent claim involving Cactus Garage Doors, they responded quickly to the issue, arriving the next day to fix the malfunctioning door, a relatively positive experience without major issues during the claim process.

    However, I faced a particularly distressing situation last year when my air conditioning unit broke during the hottest summer on record in Las Vegas. The outdoor temperature reached 120 degrees, and with a quadriplegic family member in the house, the wait for repair became unbearable. Sadly, American Home Shield delayed the process for over a month because of a part that could have been sourced locally, but was instead ordered from out of state through a specific vendor, leading me into a prolonged period without air conditioning. Attempts to resolve this issue left me with unresponsive service representatives, often leading to voicemails.

    In terms of performance issues, while the garage door repair went smoothly, the air conditioner incident showcased a significant service gap. As a long-time customer, I find myself reconsidering my commitment to American Home Shield, given their prioritization of efficiency and savings over immediate customer comfort in critical situations.

    After diving into a predicament with American Home Shield, I found myself quite at odds. When Acord Appliances came to fix a problem, things began positively—they replaced the cracked hose feeding the ice maker in my freezer. But beyond that initial success, matters soured. They noted the freezer door's water tube was broken, which left us relying on functioning ice alone since the supplied water was non-existent.

    Attempting to fix the unresolved issue involved jumping through hoops. The technician chalked it up to "normal wear and tear," but considering this is a secondary residence my wife and I occasionally occupy, claiming wear seemed presumptuous given how little we access the freezer. Subsequently, our claims for repairs were denied, and I've embarked on arranging another evaluation at my own expense.

    As much as I've committed almost five years to their policy, only resorting to them thrice, I'm now wrestling in disagreements over coverage classifications. Arguments against their "wear and tear" diagnosis ensue, as vital pipelines are entirely concealed from any stickers or moves of usage that might compromise them mentally. These wrangles over hundreds more in service call costs leave me less than content.

    Despite their seemingly potential and ample expertise, accolades for courteous technicians collide against policy intricacies and frustrations masquerading as specific coverage opportunities dismissed on what bodes closely toward "justifiable turmoil" unlike any output. Though I can incidentally trip unto backing other visual-free pros—I voice reasonable faith missing even entrepreneurial counsel to earn gratitude parts unforeseen. Such things occur primarily beyond visible reimbursables opposing lack of corded service human decency exchanges which sure leave interpersonal resentment unless beyond bound interventions ceasing inhibited echo costs.

    The first plumber who came by wasn't very helpful. He seemed inexperienced and ended up causing more issues by loosening another pipe, which caused an additional leak in my bathroom. It took quite a bit of arguing to have American Home Shield send out another plumber. Luckily, the second plumber was great and managed to fix everything, but the process of getting to that point was frustrating.

    Over the phone, the customer service wasn’t very understanding. It felt like my concerns weren't being taken seriously. Instead of addressing the issue with the initial plumber, they just agreed to send someone else, which wasn’t immediate or reassuring.

    The customer service over the years has become more inconsistent. One of the main reasons I stay with American Home Shield is because I can access the realtor concierge number through my profession, which is not available to regular consumers. However, advocating for services on behalf of family members who do not have this access, like my mom, has been a bit frustrating.

    Submitting claims online is straightforward. Recently, I had an issue where my air conditioning unit wasn’t functioning properly. The technician from Crispy Heat & Air who came out was very nice, courteous, and informative. However, I wish issues were resolved more swiftly. For example, last year my 80-year-old mother was without a stove or oven for almost a month. I had to regularly call American Home Shield to escalate the problem, which could have been handled with more empathy and efficiency. It used to feel like they cared more about customer experience, but now it seems more corporate.

    In conclusion, my experience with American Home Shield has been challenging regarding some aspects of customer service, although the technicians seem capable and friendly during service visits. If they could enhance the speed and empathy in resolving issues, I would be a much happier customer.

    Over a year ago, I had a problem with my air conditioning unit. A technician hired by American Home Shield installed a new unit, for which I paid almost $3,800 out of pocket in addition to what American Home Shield contributed.

    A year and a few months later, when I tried to use the air conditioning, it still didn’t work. It turned out that during installation, the coil was punctured, and the freon leaked out. American Home Shield sent a technician again, and I had to pay an additional $130 for the visit. They found out that the initial issue was indeed caused by the original installation team.

    When I reached out to American Home Shield to resolve this, they insisted that while the part was covered, I needed to pay nearly $900 for the freon because it wasn’t included under their policy. I contested this, arguing that I shouldn’t bear the cost for a mistake made by their assigned company. Eventually, they offered a "cash-out" of around $300 supposedly for the freon. Unfortunately, accepting this meant all further issues were considered resolved, and I had to find and pay for my own technician, which was poorly communicated to me.

    Feeling undervalued as a long-time customer, especially when faced with this unexpected issue due to a service they arranged, left a bad impression. Moreover, the first company would not honor any warranty for their work, leaving me without a functional air conditioning unit. Despite continuing to handle the new unit responsibly and hardly having used it, I am stuck without AC because of their faulty process.

    In conclusion, while American Home Shield initially seemed promising, the overall experience has been less than satisfactory due to the miscommunication and costs involved which I believe should not have been my responsibility in this situation.

    Hello Walter,

    So I took a look at your work orders. I see you had the condenser replaced in September of 2023. Your next issue was in April of 2025 for a fan motor and a refrigerant leak. I did not find your non-covered amount to be as high as stated, and there are codes, modifications, and refrigerant costs that are excluded or limited. I don't think any company, warranty or repair vendor, is going to guarantee anything over a year. After that amount of time, it is difficult to say what caused the refrigerant leak. I am so sorry that happened to you. But I am glad to see that you are still a valued member of American Home Shield.

    On Friday, May 9, 2025 I spoke with one first level agent and one supervisor from both AHS sales and support departments (four agents total)—all four refused to provide the free tune-up. I provided notice of recording and recorded these calls with AHS staff’s permission. All four agents told me that the tune-up for Spring is only offered through April 28th, yet they confirmed this date is not published anywhere to the public on AHS website, nor in my agreement. It is an unfair, deceptive trade practice, false advertising, and a breach of our agreement to offer a free tune-up and not disclose the date limitations. All 4 of AHS staff members confirmed that my contract currently does not display any time limitation for the Spring and Fall tune-ups.

    Shockingly, AHS sales department supervisor, Khoury, claimed the member agreement will change based on the date the consumer accesses the agreement on AHS website. Supervisor Khoury stated: if the member requests a copy of the agreement, based on the date the customer views the agreement PDF on AHS website, it will add and remove the Spring and Fall tune-ups and related dates.

    Khoury claims only if I try to access the agreement during the time period offered will the plan agreement display the tune up time limitation. This is one of the most deceptive and unfair trade practices I've ever encountered. This contract cannot be binding if AHS changes it unilaterally, repeatedly throughout the term, without any notice to customers. AHS staff alleged I may have been sent an email with these date limitations but they could not provide the date the email was sent. I informed them I have never received an email with any date limitations.

    I asked AHS sales department when are the Fall and Spring tune-ups offered. Supervisor Khoury said he didn't know—it changes every year and they're informed by AHS company at the last minute when the period starts. Khoury doesn’t know when Fall tune ups will be offered, and he couldn't tell me when Spring tune ups started—only that they were terminated April 28. The unfair, deceptive, and abusive claims practices described above are unconscionable and patently unlawful.

    Our overall experience with American Home Shield has been decent, though there was one notable issue that left a sour taste. Our fridge's ice cube dispenser broke, which seemed straightforward enough. They sent someone to inspect it, submitted a claim for the replacement part, and then confusion began. I wasn't notified that the claim was denied initially. When I inquired, I was misinformed about the approval status, which they later backtracked on.

    The process to contest the denial was full of red tape, but after some persistence, including escalation to management, they did send someone back, confirming it was a legitimate mechanical issue. Ultimately, they replaced the part without an extra charge. Appreciate that they covered another visit because the error wasn't on us. The whole ordeal lasted about two months, and the inconsistent information and miscommunication were particularly frustrating. Having to potentially pay another $125 service fee felt unreasonable given the circumstances.

    Besides this incident, American Home Shield has been reliable. We've had repairs done, like with our garage door, without any hassle or unnecessary drama. Paying the service fee every time can be rough, but aside from this glitch, everything's been smooth.

    My experience with the customer service of AHS has been a mixed bag. While the technicians who visited my home were fantastic and professional every time I had a claim, the delay in getting someone to come out was a bit of a letdown. It usually took a week or more after initiating a service call.

    I particularly remember two specific incidents, both involving issues with the refrigerant lines—one was a leak while the second instance was a leak at a joint. In both cases, Myers Comfort Specialist, the contracting company, did the repair work, and they were excellent.

    While away at my daughter's house, we returned only to smell burning wires one day while using both the dryer and stove. It was alarming, but I immediately contacted American Home Shield that same day. They arranged for Fix It, a company they partner with, to send a technician the following day.

    When the technician arrived, the issue frustratingly didn't replicate itself. Despite the curious miss, I appreciated the swift scheduling they offered. Oddly enough, the smell hasn't resurfaced since then, so perhaps it was an isolated incident.

    Overall, I appreciate the prompt response from American Home Shield and find them to be a great service provider.

    My recent experience with AHS was frustrating and disappointing. Our air conditioning unit wasn't blowing cold air, so we submitted a claim online. The online process was straightforward, but I spent a significant amount of time talking to customer service because I never seemed to get a clear answer or resolution to my problem. I found myself making up to eleven calls without real progress—where everyone passed the blame instead of providing a solution.

    When Air Max, the repair company, came to our house, the interaction was initially positive. They assured me that the repair would be covered with no out-of-pocket costs. However, once they returned to their office, I was unexpectedly informed of additional charges. It seemed like a ploy to extract more money from us.

    Both the service and customer care have been lacking, and this has affected our trust in the company severely.

    Recently, I had an issue with my AC unit, which was running low on Freon. When I contacted American Home Shield, they sent out Union Express to handle the issue.

    The technician from Union Express, who I believe might be the owner, was fantastic and efficient, having been to my home before for other repairs. The system is now recharged and working great, thanks to their expertise.

    One thing I truly appreciate about American Home Shield is having just one centralized contact for all home-related fixes. However, I'd love to see some improvements: better coverage for Freon and perhaps a reduction in wait times. Although this visit was fast, previous instances had me waiting for much longer.

    I'd give Union Express a solid 5 stars for their service. However, American Home Shield would be at a 3 for now due to some gaps in coverage and delayed responses in the past.

    I submitted a claim online with AHS as my air conditioner wasn't cooling properly. The process of filing the claim online was straightforward, but things took a turn after that. American Home Shield sent a contractor from Air Majesty to my home, and while they were professional in manner, the repair was never completed. My AC is still not working, and the root of the issue seems to lie with American Home Shield, as they're not responding or giving any resolution.

    They received all the necessary information and an estimate from Air Majesty, but they're still processing whether to proceed with the proposed solutions. It's been about a week with no air conditioning, and I've received no communication from them regarding the status of my claim. My experience with American Home Shield has been far from satisfactory due to this unresolved issue and the lack of communication.

    I had a plumbing issue. When Quandt Plumbing came to address the problem, it was clear from the start that the leakage was due to the garbage disposal. The initial recommendation was to replace it immediately with a third horsepower option, which I declined as the policy allows for a fix or replace with the same specifications. Consequently, the technician had to return back to the company for a couple of days to obtain approval for the half-horsepower replacement. However, it seems there was some miscommunication. AHS confirmed to me that they were never contacted regarding the approval and stated their policy did not require one, suggesting the plumber probably just didn’t have the right parts on his truck that day.

    Eventually, the replacement was completed successfully, though it took a bit longer than expected. While I would recommend American Home Shield, as they weren't involved in the delay, the experience with Quandt Plumbing wasn’t ideal. Although they finished the work satisfactorily, the unnecessary delay and misleading information were bothersome. Despite these hiccups, I've found value in my contract with American Home Shield and can confirm their customer support has been responsive and helpful when contact was made.

    AHS sent Passion Service Pros to my home a couple of times, once for my washing machine and twice for my dryer. Luckily, the experiences have been positive each time.

    Submitting claims is straightforward and quick—especially with the app, which tends to make the process even faster. I've been impressed by how easy it has been. The technicians from Passion Service Pros were very professional and timely. They stuck to their scheduled timings and ensured everything was taken care of.

    Overall, I’m quite satisfied with American Home Shield and would recommend them to others.
