    I had somebody come out and fix my AC. Each time technicians come out, they do whatever they need to do to get the unit going. It works okay for a while then it starts freezing up then leaking again. I call them to come back out. I had somebody come out again last week. The first group that came took an hour to reach the house. After they supposedly finished, the AC would come on at that point but it wasn't cooling. It took the technicians an hour to keep calling back to their home base to figure out what it was that they hadn't done or what it was that they needed to do. That was really strange.

    They couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with the AC and they kept calling back and going back and forth, in and out for about an hour. Finally, somebody told them what needed to happen and they did that. They finally got the AC to cool. Other than that experience, everybody that came out was professional. They wore masks and were respectful of my property.

    Owning my own property as a single woman, something goes down a lot of times. American Home Shield has done different things that I needed. They've been a good thing for me. I have somebody that I can call and say I need something fixed. There was a time when technicians came out and did electrical work for me. One time, a gentleman had to come back a few times to fix my dryer because it was older. He had to order a part. For three days, he came back and he was still very professional. He got my dryer going and till now, it's still going. I didn't have to pay an additional $100 because it was for the same issue that the gentleman was coming back out for.

    I am happy with American Home Shield. My son-in-law and my daughter bought a house and their home warranty is horrible. I told them that with American Home Shield, all I have to do is go online. I pay $100 because that's the plan that I purchased and they send somebody out. I have recommended them to people before. I tell them to go to their website and sign up. I also tell people how easy it is for me. I can pick up the phone and give American Home Shield a call and set up a time. They are very responsive. If I go online and say that I need somebody to come out, I get a call within the next day or so from a technician. I have always had a good experience with the technicians that came out.

    When I close the door on my microwave, there wouldn't be any lights or control. The gentleman came out, fixed the wiring, and said, "That should be good." The person was really good. He was really nice, polite and professional as well. He said that unless he fixed the wiring, the only solution was to reorder a new door. There was also a charcoal dent on the microwave door. The door broke a while ago and I was gonna change the charcoal filter. He was going to see if the insurance would cover that, and he would get back to me. I would advise people to make sure the appliance is covered. It's very important.

    I have had nothing but bad customer service with American Home Shield. Had 4 different issues with the company and had to wait not weeks -month to get resolve. My current pending issue is with my Faucet which I am still not sure what the status is. I have called several times and given the same story each time so not sure the status of my service request. I asked for my refund since it seems they don't want to fix my issue and still can't get anyone on the phone to point me to the right direction or authorization to get it fixed. I have never missed a payment but yet can't get my faucet issue resolved. Definitely canceling services with them and not recommend American Home Shield. Terrible Service. The agent I spoke to told me they cannot give me their name!!!! Very upset and just want my $125 refunded.

    My condenser and something else were about to go out. American Home Shield sent a very knowledgeable company. It was an awesome interaction. They did not do repair work. I have to call American Home Shield because I wanted to pass out the price that they gave me. It was a lot of money. Before American Home Shield came out, I had a yearly contract with a different AC vendor and they quoted me $636. American Home Shield was gonna charge me $1,100 for the same repairs.

    American Home Shield should take the time out to listen to the customer. My last interaction with them on Tuesday, the rep was going over the payment information, and I couldn't understand it. There's a big language barrier there. So, I asked him, “Hey, can you email this to me?” He said, “Yeah.” I said, “Do you need my email address?” He said, “No, I'm going to mail it to you.” I said, “That doesn't make any sense. You can't just email it to me?” He said, “No, we don't have the capability to email.” So, I told him, "I get an email for all of my interactions with you. But when I'm asking for the invoice or just a list of what I have to pay for, you have to mail it versus just email it to me, and we could go over it together.” That was definitely shocking to me.

    I've always had a lot of trouble with my air conditioners. The techs were able to fix the problem every time they came, but there were a few times that it might be several days before the company can get out here to work on them. It’s been difficult. This last time when my AC went out, that led me to go ahead and cough up the money to replace them. I did not like that it was going to be four days. American Home Shield wouldn't deem it an emergency for them to be able to put it into their schedule sooner. The guidelines that they had for that was if someone in the household is sick or if it was 105 degrees. That was not customer-centric because I don't think anybody that even made those guidelines would want to follow them. Overall, my experience has been good, just not for my AC Anything else they've come out to do has been timely.

    When my air was not blowing any cold air out of it, getting the tech out took probably week. It was miserable. My kids and my animals were sweating all day. I told the guy about that and he was in shock that it took that long to get them notified. But he came out and fixed it within 30 minutes to an hour. He was amazing. Also, I didn't have to come up with $1,000 to have somebody come out. It's a set price which is great for a bigger family that doesn't have thousands of dollars sitting in their bank account. That's a true advantage of a home warranty.

    I have another claim open right now for a refrigerator and it's going on three weeks now that I don't have a refrigerator. It took American Home Shield about a week and a half to get somebody out here. They came, looked at the unit and said they needed to order a compressor. A week later, I asked them what was going on. They said they were not going to make an appointment until they get the part in. I have insulin for my son who is diabetic. I need to have my refrigerator working. For the first week and a half, we had to keep it on ice. I'm not thrilled with this company that American Home Shield is providing to me. They should have more options for companies to come out as needed instead of having to wait one and a half, two weeks.

    We had a leak in our master bedroom. The carpet was wet leading into the bathroom. The mitigation people from our homeowners insurance came out, ripped the carpet back, took out the wet padding and left a dehumidifier with us. They thought that it would be the shower pan that was leaking. When the plumbers from Myers came out, they systematically turned off several different parts of the running water to check the water meter. They checked all the toilets to make sure that none of them were leaking. They still haven't found the leak. They just told me that it was a slab leak and that they'd come back Saturday to try to find it. I'm still having to have my water off.

    The only thing that I was frustrated with was when I got a call from Myers to tell me that they were coming out, they told me that they weren’t gonna be able to come out for four days. We were having our water off as much as possible to prevent the leak from getting worse. It would have been nice if there was an option for that or an option for somebody to call me to explain the situation and to ask if it needed to be expedited. I ended up calling American Home Shield to tell them, “My water’s off and I have a family of six living here. It’d be really nice if we could get somebody out quicker.” They said, “Yes. We'll make sure that this is expedited.”

    There was no way to have that happen initially, which would have been nice to have. I didn't know that there was a different list for expedited things and regular things so I had to call American Home Shield. But they still didn't get the message so I had to call American Home Shield again to have it expedited. They called Myers directly then they called me back and said, “Okay. We'll move you up. You're on the list or whatever for the emergency number.”

    The way that American Home Shield handles plumbing and appliances is really great. But for air conditioning, I hardly ever go with the contractor that they assign because it's really expensive. I typically go with my own contractor for air conditioning repair. Sometimes, I go back and get a cash-out from American Home Shield, which I still need to do.

    In some ways, it's a really big pain to have to call somebody and wait for their contractor. But in the end, you typically do save money. It's just that you don't save any time. You request service then several hours later, it says it's assigned. But you have to wait for the contractor to call you. You can call your contractor right away when they're assigned, but they're annoyed if you call them too soon. If I was calling my own contractor, I'd get someone out maybe a lot faster than I would if I didn't call American Home Shield.

    I had somebody come out in April. We brought out our own plumber because we'd had frustration with this company with air conditioning. I'd never dealt with the plumbing side of Myers before. I was gonna call our own plumber but I had already submitted a request to American Home Shield. This was on a weekend so it was taking a long time to hear back from the company. I was worried about the leak so I called my neighbors. My neighbor had a plumber that she liked so I called them. They came out and said it was gonna cost me $1,500 just to diagnose and find the leak. We were waiting to hear back from Myers and they came and found the leak. It was all covered by American Home Shield.

    Once they found the leak, they knew what line they were gonna have to reroute through my house. There's a certain type of PEX pipes that they're using in the slab of our house. It's not designed to be underground so you'd get tiny pinhole leaks in your PEX line and it starts bubbling up after a long time. When our first leak happened back in August of last year, they told us that this is probably gonna happen several times because whatever PEX lines are going underneath our slab, eventually, they're all gonna have to be rerouted through the house. They're either gonna have to go into the attic or through the walls or whatever. In order for them to do that, they've gotta cut the walls out and reroute the line. Usually, our homeowners insurance will come back and fix the walls for us. It's a huge headache.

    The last time it happened, the cold water on my bathroom sink in the master bedroom was the one that was leaking. They kept the line off then they drilled holes through the wall and fed the pipe through there and hooked it back up again. But in the process, they didn't realize that that line branched off to my outdoor tap so they cut the line to my outdoor tap and had to come back and build me a brand-new tap on the outside of the house.

    Water was settled at the bottom of the dishwasher. We were able to secure an appointment for someone to come out within 24 hours of me filing a claim to American Home Shield. The technicians were very knowledgeable. They explained to us why the issue occurred. However, it wasn't repaired correctly the first time around, so we had to call them again to adjust some of the tubing that apparently wasn't high enough. They had to zip tie it to go higher. But both times, they were pretty good. They knew what they were doing and they were able to fix the problem. I really liked the fact that AHS kept me posted on the progress of the claim like when someone was coming out when the parts were ordered and when the part came in.

    I would recommend AHS. The only issue I have with them is when I have issues with my air conditioning, the people they keep assigning me each year are not reliable. So I have to ask for a particular person to come out here. Also, it looks like they outsource their phone center. Sometimes, the representative that I speak with doesn't communicate as well as I would like. But when AMR Heating and Cooling came out, they were excellent. They explained everything, the whole process, what was wrong with the air conditioning unit, what needs to be fixed and they did it promptly. Within 30 minutes, it was done.

    My air conditioning was blowing air that wasn't cold. The techs were so professional and nice. They looked at the unit inside and outside. They took some things apart, looked at electronic stuff, and then flipped the breaker box. Then, everything was working. Everything has been better than perfect since then. AHS is pretty good. The only downside is that I have to pay $100 every time they come out. When I realized that something was $100, I decided to figure it out myself because I don't know how much it would cost to actually do that. So, they're cost-prohibitive. I like AHS to let me know how much service would typically run in my area so that I can say when something is worth going to the warranty or not.

    American Home Shield is a good company and I appreciate their service being available. It was depressing because we had the air serviced in May so we'd be all set and ready for the heat, and then we went to use it and it was blowing hot air. So, Doctor Cool came back out, but we had to pay another $75 fee that I didn't think was fair. We paid the fee and they came out and found out that all the Freon had leaked out. That was gonna be $560. So, we had to borrow the money to get that fixed. They came out again and put that in. There was some kind of a little nozzle type thing that had broken and it was why it leaked out. They fixed it and filled it and it's been working super ever since. So, I was happy and thankful that it got fixed that quickly.

    When you call the number to submit a claim to AHS, there's this computerized part that you go through, and it does not like to let you get to a human being. It was easier this last time. But there was one day I sat in the car for an hour just trying to get to a human being. I just had a question. I had already submitted the claim and had already gotten booked with somebody, but that company was not keeping their appointments. They were not coming to the house. I wanted to talk to somebody about it and I couldn't get through their computer system because the first thing it wants you to do is pay your $75, which I had already done. And I couldn't get past it to talk to a person to ask, “What do I do? Because this company's not keeping their appointments.” So, that was really frustrating because it took so long trying to get to a person.

    We had a very positive experience with American Home Shield on our first home. When we got this house we're in now, we had a different company. When it expired, I went back to American Home Shield because it's a good product. Recently, I had two claims that came within a couple days of each other. I did it online and answered the questions. They had dropdowns that lead to different questions and were sufficient enough for us to get going. The contractors were both great. For the air conditioner, the contractor called the same day, if not the next morning then scheduled the appointment the next day. Sometimes however, the people they send out are not local. I looked for one of the two companies. I'm in Reno and their home base is in Henderson, Nevada which is a 10-hour drive. They have strange contractors not having an address.

    What I don't understand is for example they need to replace my stove and I have a high-end one, are they gonna give me a crappy stove or am I going to get a comparable one? On sinks, it says, “We'll give you home builder grade.” I don't have home builder-grade appliances or faucets. I'm feeling why am I gonna spend $75 to get a crappy sink or faucet that I'm going to have to replace anyways? It's not clear as to what I'm getting. This is a $400 faucet. I'm not gonna get $100 for it then have to pay out-of-pocket. It defeats the whole point.

    I requested the service for my refrigerator and the washer. The contractor that AHS gave me only comes to my city on Wednesday. Because of that, I got somebody coming at five days later and I had to figure out what I was gonna do. I was hoping they could come sooner, but they said that they were the only one they had. I tried to call and see if AHS could get me somebody else but they weren't able to help me out. It would help out if they have more local contractors in every city. So they could have better customer service in every city.

    The tech was good. He first started working on the refrigerator. The ice buildup in there was blocking the air and the cooler to the refrigerator below. He was able to fix that really quickly and then he started working on the washer. He looked at it and then he had to order a part. So right now, they’re waiting for the parts, and they will come back to fix the washer.

    I called AHS and the way the lady was handling the call was a little weird to me. She said, “Okay. We could switch you out of this contractor and take you to another one. But then I cannot guarantee that they might be even further down than what you're getting right now.” I told her, “Well, why can‘t you just call them and find out how far is their availability before you switch me over?” Because it’s summer season and lot of fridges and ACs go out. So after numerous time telling her to contact the contractor, she did do it. She called the one that she was gonna give me, and they said the earliest they can come was the 12th. They didn’t have anybody else that could come sooner so I just told her to leave me where I'm at.

    I had an issue with our AC last year. Every different AC takes different freons. With my AC, AHS only covers $10 per pound for the freon and I had to pay $1,200 out of my pocket. So there was lack of communication. I wish I was more informed about how much it cost when I got the service. But they told me that not all of them cost that much.

    I've done two claims, but it was for the same problem. It wasn't fixed the first time. Because it was over 30 days, I had to pay another deductible and that wasn't really nice. I called on a Saturday and when the lady tried calling the first guy that came out the first time, he said he couldn't get to me for a week, and that was the same thing when we tried getting him the first time. After I explained to her that he didn't do anything with the problem the first time, she recommended GE and she said they'll be there on Monday. I was hesitant to believe that. Sure enough, GE came on that day so I was very impressed with that, especially with a weekend call. They resolved the issue and they were good.

    I use American home Shield in getting my appliances repaired at my house and I recommend them. The young man who came for a claim I had was perfect. He came in in a timely manner and was professional. He was able to promptly assess my situation. He checked my inside unit and once he determined what the issue was, he went outside and checked the outside part of the unit. When he came back in, the problem was fixed. I do my claims with American Home Shield by phone. I like to talk to somebody. I've been with the company for a number of years and one of my previous experiences was not as favorable as I needed it to have been going through that process. But it ended well.

    When making a claim to American Home Shield, you have to be precise. There can be two things wrong with something and if you only mentioned one, the vendors will only fix what you mentioned. So far, I’ve only dealt with vendors twice and they were top-notch. For our air conditioner, the unit didn't work because the drain hose was clogged. There was a shutoff valve on the pan underneath the air conditioner. Technicians repaired the drain hose. American Home Shield is relatively a great idea. When we sold our home, we bought a home warranty for the people there as well. When things are over 15 years old, a home warranty just makes sense.

He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He apparently had worked on the cooling system in that particular house before, so he was familiar with it. I was very impressed with him.

    We had a water pipe that went out to our outdoor faucet that had developed a leak. We got word in less than a day of Barker Services being assigned. It was a Saturday when we put the request in to American Home Shield, and we heard from Barker on Monday. We were very satisfied. Both times that we've had to contact AHS, everything was handled very promptly and everything was covered in accordance to our policy. Before I ran across AHS, I had my doubts about it. But now, being a customer and actually having a couple of times where we've had things that needed to be addressed, I would encourage people to do it.

    American Home Shield definitely needs to expand their contractor list, especially when it comes to emergency situations. Over the winter, I had two emergency furnace situations with a newborn, and no one would take the issue. It was like they couldn't find anyone and then I found someone but it took a little minute for me to get the authorization to be able to look for an outside contractor. Recently though, the turnaround time was very quick. I had an overflow valve in a tub that was stripped and it caused a leak. The repair man was very professional, knowledgeable and got straight to work. He was even earlier than the scheduled slot time. I would definitely recommend him if the person is looking for outside plumbing work.

    I had an issue with my upstairs air conditioner. The house wasn't getting cool. The machine was placed there in 2005 and I had problems with it in the past. One time it was a little over 80 degrees in the house. I called on Thursday and technicians didn't come out until Wednesday the following week. That was too long. Technicians finally came out and they looked at the air conditioner. The guy didn’t really tell me what was wrong with it. He said they would take it back to the shop and that they would get in touch with American Home Shield. That's like buying a car. It used to be when you bought a car, they take it into the guy that works the numbers. You never know what you're really paying.

    Another guy came out and said he would help me finance a new AC. I just wanted to know what I was going to pay. I'm going to use American Home Shield because I pay almost a thousand dollars every year now. They said they were gonna get in touch with me. They came out and I said, “I'll pay for this, but what do I have to pay?” They had me paying almost $8,000 for an air conditioner. I told them that I bought a Trane from the same people three years ago and I paid $6,000.

    I talked them down. They said they would give the unit for 7,000. But that's still a lot of money to pay for an air conditioner when American Home Shield is supposed to carry the load on that one. The technicians said the problem was the unit needed Freon. That's a big deal now because Freon is expensive. But if you're losing Freon, where is it going? Can that part be fixed? The technicians didn't answer that question.

    I had to have an air conditioner and I was told by American Home Shield that I had to use that contractor. I used them before and they're out for the money. My best interest was not being met. I called American Home Shield to report this problem. They said I had to use their contract agent in the area. But that was not what I was told before. I'm tired of arguing with people.

    I've been with American Home Shield for several years now and I hardly ever use them. But when I do use them, I don't want to have to get, “Okay. This is Joe mechanic down the street.” It's hot and I have to wait five days for somebody to come out to my house because the contractor is overloaded with work. I went online to look at some of the contractors. I read on one that the Better Business Bureau is not endorsing them.

    American Home Shield had another agency right here in Murfreesboro that probably would have been better and they specialize in Tranes. Trane is one of the better air conditioners. I wanted to pay whatever I had to pay. The man that I spoke with at American Home Shield said I would get something in the mail about who paid what and how much. But I've never gotten anything from them. Also, the last time I renewed, the lady there said that if I have somebody locally that I really want, I can let American Hoem Shield know and they would work with you. That wasn't the case when I talked to their guy on the phone.

    One time I had an issue with the same air conditioner. This was about four years ago. The technicians said that it needed Freon. I asked where the Freon was going because if you just put Freon in, it solves the problem right then, but it's going to come back. I would have liked to have been more involved. The contractor could have told me what the part is going cost, what American Home Shield was going to pay, what the difference is, and that I would be responsible for that. If it was a part that just needed to be fixed, I would have liked to have known that. I didn't want to have to buy a new air conditioner. But I also didn't want the contractor to just put the fluid in then leave. They would have made their money and gone to the next customer and it was the same thing all over again. That's not the way we deal with people.

    American Home Shield could at least give me the ability to choose my own contractor and have them reimburse or at least give me a choice. It was basically take it or leave it. And that’s a lot of money I'm paying. Pretty soon, I'm going to have to have either a garage door fixed or my water heater. Are they going to give me the same person? It's crazy.

    I was disappointed. The gentleman I spoke with on American Home Shield's end has a really bad connection. I asked him to call me back and he said he would but he never did. The contractor put the machine in and it's working right now. But did I really need to spend $7,000? Could they have fixed it and just moved on? In three years, I've spent $13,000 on air conditioners now. Last time I bought an air conditioner but it didn't do good.

    We're still having the same issues we had with our AC a month ago. In May, we started having problems with it and All Coast Air Conditioning and Heating came out, assessed the situation, and said that we needed Freon. They put the Freon and the AC worked for about a week. It went out again and it took us a long time to even get an appointment with them. Then, they came out again. The young man came out two weeks ago and he didn't bother to go in the attic to check the air handling unit. He said we were low on Freon and he put some more in there. We paid them cash for the Freon, which was $340.

    After he left, the AC went out again. We had the AC on and it started burning. We were afraid. We thought it was like some kind of fire that was going on in there. We shut everything off and called American Home Shield so they can send somebody back out but they didn't come back immediately. They came back four days later. It was very smoky and something was burning inside our home but no one felt the urgency. The young man came out this past Thursday and he went up to the attic. He was the first representative from All Coast to go up in the attic since we had the issue. He said the carburetor and blower are burnt out. With that, he shut everything off out there.

    The problem that I have with the whole thing is that AHS is not communicating with us when our issue will be resolved. Nobody took any of our concerns on communicating with us whether they can do the job or not or if there's a part that needs to be ordered and they just can’t get the part. We kept calling and when we call AHS, we got the basic dialogue. We were told we have to wait 24 to 48 hours. It seemed like we're being told anything and we're sitting here without any air conditioning. I have a senior in the house that's in her 90s and we can't continue to sit in the heat. At least release our work order to another reputable company to come and help us.

    I don't think we're being taken care of at all and there's no service at all. Whenever we call, our calls are being routed elsewhere and we're getting scripted responses. As a consumer, it’s terrible. I feel like crying at this point because we get the same scripted answers each time we call for help. But I called this morning and was told that the part is being ordered.

    We signed on with American Home Shield because they were recommended by the title company and by our friends and they were endorsed very admirably online.

There was more communication than we expected, by email and by telephone, to assure that we were fully satisfied. We feel like we're getting our money's worth.

    We called because we had buckling in our floor in the living room and we were uncertain as to where the moisture was coming from. The plumber from Service Contractors Plumbing who was dispatched examined the area and was able to determine that it was unlikely to be an actual plumbing issue with the pipe being burst or leaking. He showed me exactly how he came to that conclusion and he took the time to examine the area outside the house on the patio and pointed out several areas where it was clear that water infiltration was possible from the outside. We had a tremendous amount of rain over the last three weeks here in the Dallas area and that was identified as the most likely culprit. He made some recommendations for how he could engage another contractor to address that sealing problem. He was extremely professional, prompt, and thorough in the performance of his duties.

The pipes were clogged and it needed a quick cleanup. He was able to fix it and give me some tips on how to clean it and make sure if it happens again, I know what to do. When some of the repairs were done in the house, he was the same one that had been here and had to clean it out six weeks prior as well.

He was done with it rather quickly and I haven't had any problems with it. Exactly what I'd expect. American Home Shield is worthwhile and offers good service. I've never felt like I had to fight to get something taken care of, which would be my concern about a service like this. They just took care of the stuff that we've reported.

    The front panel went out on my refrigerator and something was going on with my microwave as well. I thought the claims process was gonna be a little more painful but it wasn't. I put in a claim and it went smoothly. I didn't have to follow up with American Home Shield once. Even when the set of parts we got wasn't correct, I didn't have anything to do with sending it back and getting another one. The techs called once the correct part got in and called back to reschedule. It was a great experience.

    My air conditioner was extremely loud and I needed to have it serviced. Valley Air Systems sent me a text message letting me know when they were coming and I could expect them. They showed up exactly when they were supposed to show up. They went back, they took a look at it, they went ahead and opened it, checked it, did full service, and closed it all back up. It helped a lot because with the temperatures going up, it prepared me for the summer and the heat. I would recommend American Home Shield. Everything that I've submitted in the past and present has always been taken care of very quickly and easily.

    AHS customer service is designed to drive you crazy and give you the runaround. They are not helpful in any way shape or form. It's not their fault, it's the management that designed it this way. AHS sends out the bottom of the barrel contractors who get paid very little to do the jobs, they aren't happy working with AHS but they need the money so they take the job. Look at the reviews of the companies they send out. Most reviews have an average of 2.5 stars or less, compare that to the other companies in your area and they fall short plus most of the good reviews are of people who DIDN"T use AHS and paid the contractor full price. See the pattern.

    I did a work order to American Home Shield for plumbing, and it was for my garbage disposal and two of my toilets. My garbage disposal wasn't coming on at all, and when I would flush my toilet in the first bathroom, the water would continue running. And when I would flush the toilet in my back bathroom, I had to turn the water off in the back of the toilet. Doing the work order online was easy. The website said that someone will be contacting me within 24 hours. But I had K & S Plumbing cancel several times, and I made arrangements for them to come and for me to be at home, and they said they were coming and then they didn't come. Then several times, they said it was a family emergency.

    I even called American Home Shield one time because I had already been charged $75 for it and I said, "Hey, why have I been charged $75, and they haven't came out yet? At this point, I kind of want you to just reassign it somewhere because I'm being kind of split up, and it's been prolonged. And then I've made arrangements for either myself or somebody to be at my house and they haven't came." When they finally did come, they got the job done. But K & S was not being reliable as far as when they scheduled originally.

    The guy that did the work did it pretty fast. Once I told him about the problem and then he saw it, he was like, "I know exactly what it is. I can get this done." So, I love that he did it pretty quickly. He had to go and change something out or go get some supplies from the vehicle, but for the most part, he was knowledgeable, and he got his job done.

    Overall, American Home Shield is not what it used to be. It's convenient, but I also had a claim for my air conditioner, and I was out of a lot of money in each month. I'm gonna have to call them because my bill has raised tremendously, and I wasn't even notified. I've seen the amount taken out. From the time I started to now, it continues to go up, but it went up tremendously this time without warning.

    The fan was making a loud noise while I was running the AC. It was fairly easy to submit the claim to American Home Shield. When the techs listened, the AC was low on Freon. So, they added the refrigerant. Then I called them back because the fan was making the noise again. When they were here the first time, it wasn't making the noise. The second time they came out, the fan made the screeching noise, and so they said that they had to order a fan for it. So, they ordered the fan. But then the technician, Andrew, went out to check the outside unit and he said the refrigerant was all leaked out. He said that they have to replace the valve. They ordered the valve for it. They have to cut a certain section out where the valve is leaking and they have to put it properly.

    This unit is is a 1982. This is an older unit. In the long run, it would be better to replace it than to keep the warranty company coming out and fixing it because that's labor intensive and that's money. But I know AHS has contracts with these companies and things too. I'm pretty pleased with American Home Shield because I did have them in the beginning when I purchased this house. I had switched companies because of a better price and with the service that I requested, they didn't come into my property to take a look at a leak. They sent me an email and said, "We can't come and look at it because it's like internal." That same day, when I received that email, I just cancelled them and then I went back to AHS.

    For the most part, AHS handled my services professionally. I've had a few that I didn't particularly care about but overall, that's in a 1% to 2% range if you go from a scale up to 100. They repaired items with honor and integrity. If appliances needed to be replaced, they replaced them and I felt I got quality. I also like knowing that any of the things that I put under the warranty in my home are taken care of. My mother-in-law had one on her own and when she got through her warranty, she found out a lot of bogus things. I told her that she should have been using mine. I immediately put American Home Shield on this house too and I haven't been disappointed with them. I always recommend them and suggest that people use them. I’d tell them that I've been using AHS since I was 24 and I'm 50 right now.

    I had a claim for my refrigerator recently where Sears came out. They were very professional and they ensured that they had the right parts to go in there. And the refrigerator’s working great now. Whenever I have a claim, I just go online and select the problem. If it’s an appliance, I’ll select the appliance and the model number, hit submit, and pay my prepayment because the payment information is already there online. Then immediately, I get a phone call back from the vendor that's assigned and American Home Shield alerts me who's calling immediately. So the process has been quite efficient and you don't have to wait on the phone line. I used to call them when I had a flip phone.

    The contractors have all been good and I'm more or less happy. But the rates went up last year and AHS is pricey. This is the last month I'm gonna be with them because I don't see the worth compared to what I'm paying for month by month. Then, when the technician comes, it's $100 initial. So, it adds up. With the other warranty I was with, it was $65 when the technician would come to the house. Plus, some things have not been included in AHS's warranty like the central air conditioning. So, I was disappointed.

    I had an issue three weeks ago when a wall unit of mine broke. I called and AHS made the appointment with the first contractor. That contractor expected to be at the house the next day without coordinating the visit. I don't work from home so that order was canceled. If a contractor cancels my order, I have to do it again. AHS had to charge me again and reimburse me for the first claim where the techs didn't come. The process is too complicated. It could be simpler. Also, AHS is outsourcing its representatives to another country. I could tell because with one of them, I could hear the rooster singing in the back and the dogs. Some of them, I cannot hear very well their English while others have been very inefficient. One kept me on the phone for 40 minutes and I just had to hang up.

    Updated on 06/23/2021: Called about the washer and dryer service I put in for. They came a week ago, refused to replace dryer drum, tech told them it was under warranty. It wasn't because it was a discounted item from Lowes as scratched and the warranty gets voided. They don't care. Wouldn't stop interrupting me. As soon as I would say why it had no warranty they just reiterated their spiel that they wouldn't cover it because it was under warranty. So no repair and no new dryer.

    Still haven't heard from repair guy about dishwasher since he left saying he had to order parts. So basically this has been useless minus the a/c Freon being refilled. Very very unhappy.

    Original Review: I could feel cool cold air blowing out from underneath my house. So there’s got to be a leak. It’s got to be somewhere in the ductwork. I filed a claim online with American Home Shield. Their website is great because I just log in and it says “schedule a repair”. I find what I need, click it, then I go to “proceed” and then I pay my co-pay of $75, and hit “submit” and then they hook me up with somebody. Most of the contractors call me within 24 hours. Then they come out and take care of whatever I need to have taken care of. But the guy who was assigned for my ductwork issue couldn't do what I needed. So that was 75 bucks down the drain. I'm not real happy.

    I called American Home Shield back and told them exactly what the guy told me. Because if you put on there you think it has an issue to do with the ductwork, then they should have sent you out someone with the capability of doing ductwork. If he wasn't able to assist you, then you definitely should call back. Even if a contractor tells you something, you always have the right to call back to get a second opinion as well. I have another company come out on Monday to repair my dryer and my dishwasher. They said that they couldn't fix the dryer because the drum was busted, and the tech wouldn’t even mess with that. He told me that the dryer was my problem. He also said he had to order parts for the dishwasher but we haven't heard a word from him since.

    We had a heavy stainless steel sink in the kitchen and in the middle of the night, it just fell out into the bottom of the cabinets. We were having a storm and we thought we'd been struck by lightning. It sounded like an explosion. When we got to the kitchen, it was already covered in water. There were three or four different people that came out. They had to take it out and we had to have carpenters and plumbers. Then after they got it in, they had to put a new faucet in, and after they got the sink in, they had to brace it underneath so it couldn’t fall again. Also, my dryer wasn’t drying and the contractor came out and fixed that last week.

    Recently, my air conditioner would run through then just goes off. The technician had been out twice, worked on it, and thought he had it fixed. It did come on while he was here. I called last night to tell American Home Shield that it had gone out again. They wanted to charge me another $75 service call fee and I told them that this would be the third time the technician would be out. I shouldn't have to pay a service fee every time it goes out, because he couldn't fix it. They took it off and I appreciated that a lot. The technician is supposed to call me and make an appointment today. I'm a senior citizen and I'm raising four grandchildren so I really need my Air.

    Overall, I couldn't do without American Home Shield because I'm a widow, I don't have anyone that knows how to fix things and I don't have that much income anymore. With four kids, I need things working. They saved me so many times and it's cheaper overall to pay the monthly fee and then to pay the $75 every time than to have to pay God knows what. I've been trying to get my sister to get the American Home Shield, she's a widow too, and I told her that it really comes in handy.

I talked to American Home Shield and I found out that it wasn't covered, so maybe the tech just tried to do good by taping it.

    The central air unit was not blowing cold air. We took the initiative to call the contractor, Alpha, as soon as American Home Shield assigned them. They gave us a date that they could come out. They were very professional, timely, and effective in fixing the job. The tech was dealing with my husband and he told him what he did. This repair helped us immensely. It was about 90 degrees and now we have air again. Everyone thinks the central air unit is functioning fine.

    This has been one of the better experiences with American Home Shield. They have sent some contractors out that were not as professional as Alpha and did not fix the job the first time nor the second time. Alpha came in a business truck. The tech had the materials he needed and he knew what he was doing. Prior to this claim, I had a toilet issue. A guy came in some type of family van and tried to do whatever. He was rude and he didn't fix the problem correctly. I had to call him back again. The toilet still might be running. It's not always somebody reputable that American Home Shield sends out so they need to pair up with more professional contractors.

    My contract expired at the end of May and it went into a new contract automatically. When American Home Shield sent me the information to download the contract, it was the same contract so I was expecting the same payment. I looked and they took almost $10 more out a month. I had to call and rectify that because I wouldn’t authorize going into another year paying $10 more a month. The agent rectified the issue so I am good now.

We could turn it on and it would flip the breaker. The tech came back out. He said the whole unit is shot and was trying to explain all the technical stuff.

    When I spoke with the home warranty people on Tuesday, they said that they were sending the work request back to Mr. Plumber. I don't know who orders the unit if it's Mr. Plumber or the warranty program. The will order the new unit then set up a time for the tech to come back and install it. But nobody has reached back out ever since I spoke with the warranty people. They quoted me the out of pocket cost just for taking out the old unit and putting the new one in and that's kind of where it's been left. In the grand scheme of things, the process was pretty easy. But I was hoping there was more an emergency like kind of process. When it broke Thursday, I was asking was there any way somebody could come out sooner?

    Having American Home Shield has been beneficial. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars, you spend 75 bucks and somebody comes out and takes care of it. Everything so far has been pretty good. It's just some of the contractors come in, do the job and leave and not really call to say anything. We had the AC checked and a guy came in and did his thing and left. Also, we did an electrical claim. The techs fixed the problem of it tripping, but there are still issues.

    There was a period of time where everything had to be handled pretty much by phone so I would have to call my claim in with American Home Shield. The dispatcher would have to take my claim and sometimes, it takes three to five days before I heard back from the contractor. It was okay sometimes and sometimes, not so much. More recently, I’m using the website to put a claim in. I get immediate virtual feedback that says who the contractor is that has been assigned. They also give me the name and the number. I bypass the process of waiting for the contractor to call me and call the contractor. That seems to shorten the process. At the moment, I’m reasonably happy with it.

    Recently, I put a call for my refrigerator and the technician came over. The problem was solved but now it seems to be reoccurring. But I was quite happy with the way things went. The contractor, Access Plumbing, contacted me quickly and the technician came over reasonably soon. Everything went the way I would have expected.

    But there have been two or three times in the past when I discovered that the problem was one of those strange borderline situations where some of it was covered by the insurance and some of it was not. The basic problem with the system is that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to come up with a clear-cut list of what is in fact going to be covered and what is not. But other than that, I would do it again if I had to, although costs go up from year to year. I like the idea that if I have a problem, I just go online and somebody somewhere finds me a contractor to come over. Even though I'm living in a fairly rural area, it seems that AHS has a sufficiently wide network of contractors that somebody is available within a reasonable timeframe.

When we moved in, there were rooms and shortages where the power would trip, like the hot water heater or in one of the bedrooms. The electrician was in and out. He seemed very experienced. He said he’d take care of everything and he did. It was a very good experience for a first time on utilizing the services of American Home Shield.

    For the one year we had AHS, it was great. It was a nice peace of mind to have that if something came up, it would be taken care of. I made a claim late in the evening for my AC and it went perfectly. I had the AC tech out there mid-morning. It was very timely.

    I was having was a smell from in the bathroom downstairs. I was selling the home and the home inspector said that I should have a plumber in to clear the drains. I contacted Home Shield and asked them if they could send someone in because there was a suspected block in the sewer system. They told me I'd be contacted within 24 hours and I was.

    When the plumber came into the home, he turned the tap on and there was no blockage that was evident. He wasn't required to disconnect anything if there was no obstruction. He was very specific about his determination so I took him at his word. Then he asked me if I use the bathroom downstairs regularly and I explained that no. He said that the issue might be that if I'm not running water through it regularly, there's an opportunity for the bacteria to build up and that might cause a smell. It was a good experience. If I had the security of the service, I could rely on American Home Shield to work with me to oversee the provision of service. I'd recommend them.

    If you have a problem, AHS is fine. But the wait time is long. But once you get through and you list your complaint, they will make sure they correct whatever your problem is. I just think there's a glitch. I didn't have it last year or the year before. I wanted an air conditioner checkup. When I clicked on it, I never got any indication that it was for a checkup or maintenance. When I got an agent, they would hook me up with someone with the assumption that there was something wrong with my air conditioning. It was never a clear transaction. One time, I was transferred to a number and it was about canceling my insurance. I said, "That's not what I want." I had to wait online for 45 minutes and then I had the wrong department. So it was really quite frustrating. This happened to me a number of times. I just canceled it. I hope they transfer the $80.06 back to my account.

    Springdale Plumbing was great. The guy they've come out a couple of times seems to be very organized. Recently, my toilet and my sink were leaking. There was a seal that was broken on the toilet and it didn't take him very long to fix it. Then there was kind of the same thing on the sink. The faucet probably needs to be replaced but he rebuilt it and it seems to be doing better. I don't know if it's going to be permanent but right now, it's fine.

    I wish the owners had bought a better policy. It does not cover as much as I was told it was going to. I had a $350 pressure regulator that went out. It was 20 years old. It's in the front yard but it goes into the house. At some houses, it's right at the house, like the air conditioner. At some houses, it's a foot from the house. This one happens to be farther out so it's easy access. But American Home Shield they didn't pay for that so I had to pay $350. I was not happy. I hired another plumber and was told that it was going to cover stuff like that but it didn't cover that. I had some air conditioner problems for which I paid myself because the rep couldn't get anybody out that day. When I called about the air conditioning unit, I asked if I could have a choice. The rep said, "No, you got to take what you get." I asked, "Can you at least tell me from whom I'm choosing?" She said, "No. We have access but you can't see it."

    One reason I haven't bought a homeowner's policy in the past is because I was told by somebody they send whomever they send. It just so happens Springdale Plumbing seems to be pretty good. They fixed something for me in February. We were having some problems with an old valve. It was under the sink and leaking. I told the rep, "We don't have any water. It's turned off because it's going to spray if we turn it back on." She said they'd have a plumber out in 24 hours. But it was four and a half days because they failed to expedite. I had no water for that period. We went next door and borrowed jugs of water to flush the toilet and went to my daughter's to shower. The tech said there was no claim to expedite the issue. I was not happy about that. But he came and had the parts. He laid out all his stuff and fixed it real quickly. I was really pleased with that because I wasn't going to be able to install a dishwasher unless that was done.

I need air conditioning and American Home Shield is not going to pay for it because the contractor said it looks like somebody went up in the attic and cut stuff.

I haven't had any air conditioning working properly.

    Doctor Cool was awesome. They said that maybe the heat melted the mechanism that holds the ductwork together. But the other people American Home Shield sent out, Ultra Heating and Cooling, were sarcastic. The guy said “It looks like you crawled up there and cut everything.” He said it's not normal wear and tear. I told him I'm going to be 69 and my son is all of 100 pounds. He’s 35 years old and hooked up to a machine. There is no way that one of us went up there to cut anything.

    We waited two weeks for the contractor to come out and there was another week when we called American Home Shield. That was three weeks wait. When the tech came out , I was so happy to see him. But he said it was for an inspection or check only. He did an excellent job of inspection but there was no repair. He did mention that the air conditioning was low on freon. I asked how come there was no repair and he said because the work order that American Home Shield submitted to them is only for the inspection or check and not for repair. That was where the misunderstanding was.

    On my initial call to American Home Shield, I mentioned that the air conditioning was not working, meaning it was not cold, and also asked for a regular annual check-up. To me, when it's not cold, somebody needs to come out and take a look. There is a differentiation from what I understand from American Home Shield, an inspection versus a repair. The work order went through to the contractor and it was for a check and inspection only.

    I did call American Home Shield and ask them again. They said they were gonna go and listen to the recording. I'm pretty sure that I mentioned that my air conditioning unit wasn't cold and it was leaking water. I wouldn't have called them up just to go out and check and don't do anything about it. I called American Home Shield a couple of times. Three weeks had gone by with no repair to the air conditioning unit and the weather was getting hot here. I called in again and told them I was going to have to ask for a request for somebody to come out and put the freon gas into the air conditioning. They did that but charged me $75 for a second time because they said it was a new work order. Also, that's almost five or six weeks. I place in the order to have air conditioning in the house and that's ridiculous for somebody to wait that long.

We got a very good response. It wasn't the same technician but the ones that came out did a very good job finding what the problem was and fixing it. AHS takes me out of the loop of having to find the specific type of technician that's needed, which is why I have this service contract. They found one very quickly and whereas I would be trying to find out through friends, if they've ever had that kind of problem and who they used and how did they feel.

Other than that, AHS has been easy to use and prompt. It's easy to get service.

    American Home Shield honors the contract. They're very fast to respond. For the price and for the service I get, they're well worth it. I like them a lot. Then the quality of their contractors has increased over the years so I'm really happy with that. I had somebody come out for an expansion tank and they sent a contractor whom I dealt with before. They were about 16 miles from my house and they were there when they say they would and took care of the problem. Recently, my heat pump wasn't working properly. I put a request in the evening. I got a reply back in 10 minutes with the assignment of my contractor. I called the contractor the next day and they set me up for a date that I was able to be home for the service. The technician came and went right to work. He listened to what I had to say, checked it out, and did what he had to do.

    The last time that the contractor came, they were very professional and nice. They were really fast. They were very wonderful and honest. They told me that my refrigerator can't be fixed even though it's only three years old. I'm getting water in one of the drawers and the tech said it can't be fixed, so we can’t use that drawer. He tried to do whatever he could, but that was it. He said I can call them if I have problems. But I'm not going to keep calling every time I dump water out of that drawer.

    If you call American Home Shield, sometimes you're on hold forever or waiting in queue, and that gets to be a pain. I know you can go online, but sometimes, it's easier for us to call. Also, sometimes it takes a while for the vendors to come out. The guy that I've had out twice for my air conditioner took forever to get there, and then he had to come back. He did a really crappy job. I got wires sticking out of my outside air conditioner but he told me, “Oh, that’s the way it goes.” But I know that's not the way it goes. So it's not worth having him come back. I wish we could request that the contractor don’t come back because if they’re gonna do a crappy job, I don't want them.

    I had an upstairs leak and Advanced Home Services was the original ones that came out. They were out within an hour and their list of services was extensive. They had all the other services I needed out that night. The process was lengthy only because of the type of leak and the damage that was done, but I called with this other plumbing issue, and I said, "Advanced Home is the only one that is able to come out." They were quick, efficient, and handled everything. It was no talking back, no upsell, no nothing. They just went to it and got the work done. They are the only ones I'm allowing back in my house. Hopefully, I don't have any more plumbing issues, but if I do, I know who I'm going to be requesting.

It's just one call and then whoever they send out is able to come out and get the job done. It was quick, easy, seamless, and painless. Also, people can do service requests online, but I don't.

    I still kick out a lot of money having a home warranty but it helps with some of the major costs. I used it when my water heater started leaking. Technicians came and they were very professional. The only thing is when you're paying a monthly premium for the home warranty, you should get better coverage and pay less out of pocket because you're already paying it per month.

The electricians, that's an iffy subject because you never know what is going to be wrong until they get out there and they say something is not covered. I hate to pay 75 bucks just to find out, "Nope, that's wear and tear." We tried to get some of the pool things done and the people were saying that was not warrantied as it was wear and tear. I wish there was some clarity of what actually might be covered or considered, especially for warranty items and when it comes to electric stuff and the outside pool. That aside, we had a claim for our air conditioner and a tech with Delta came out. The air conditioner wasn't kicking on. There was a short in some wiring and the tech replaced it. That took him 15 minutes and the unit was working.

    The Whirlpool refrigerator was not cooling down. On May the 28th, the technician diagnosed it via video call. He told me to turn it to the coolest setting. He also asked if the compressor kicked in and those general questions and some of those things were not happening. The refrigerator's almost 14 years old so he suggested that he was going to go ahead and call in to American Home Shield and let them know what the issue was. In his opinion, because it's a closed compression unit, it can't be refilled with any kind of Freon so the fridge has to be replaced. He told me that American Home Shield would get in touch with me within 24 to 48 hours of him submitting the request.

    When I called American Home Shield after 72 hours, they told me that he had not yet submitted the repair request or the replacement request. I tried texting him back asking him if he did that already, but I never heard back from him. American Home Shield also told me that they were going to send him an email or text or call him to have him submit that replacement request because there's nothing they could do on their end without his input. I called again three different times and talked to three different agents. They said they were following up and still haven't got ahold of anybody yet. They said they'll have a supervisor call me with the final resolution to it. We're running on two weeks from tomorrow and this issue has still not been addressed and I need to get this replaced.

    It left a bad sour taste in my mouth with the way everything went down because the repair guy took a minute before he responded back to me and was not responding accordingly. Then I asked American Home Shield if they could get somebody else to take a look at this thing and let me know which way to go with it because I needed another fridge. I've been promised callbacks and no one has responded to my requests up until now.

    At this point, I'd just purchase a fridge then cancel the service because it seems like there is no reason to have it if this is how business is done. Granted, I already paid $125 plus the 44 that they want every month, and apparently, he's diagnosed what the issue is. I've also had another claim about the water heater not too long ago. I called it in, the company came out, and we had to go back and forth with that also before they finally agreed to get the unit replaced. It's been crazy with the experience.

My concern there is that if I didn't follow up, I don't know how much longer I would have been without an oven. So, overall, it's been pretty good up until the recent request that I've had.

    Dacosta & Sons’ specific claim was an emergency request. They came out right away, which was good. It was my guest shower, so I didn't really take a shower. But I realized the hot water doesn't go all the way to get hot enough. I could call them back to come back and fix. Because I took it apart myself, it could have been a minor mistake.

    It's very simple to go online and initiate a claim, and it's pretty easy if you have three things. If there are three plumbing issues in three different bathrooms, you can add them to all in one claim and it’ll only cost you one. That's pretty good. The technicians are all pretty knowledgeable. Virtually, they asked what the problem was and asked for the model number. It all would have went according to plan.

    I was a little bummed that the whole AC unit wasn't replaced. The house was built in '96 so that unit is old and not energy efficient. When it went out, the guy put a new motor on it. Whether that is considered energy efficient or not, I don't know, but it's working great. He said that it could last a week, two weeks, or years. I asked why they wouldn't replace the whole thing and he said that that's not how American Home Shield works. They do a small repair instead of a replacement.

    We had a discussion and I couldn't believe that it wasn't actually replaced because I'm sure it's running hard since it is much older. I have a two-story, so to blow the air upstairs, who knows how hard it's actually working. If something is 20 years-plus, it's obvious that it's ready to go out and it could work a little harder to do what it's supposed to. It happened to go out when we had the hottest week and it was repaired when we had the cool weather. It was not good timing. But the guy was super nice and professional, and he answered questions. When he said he would be there between here and here, he would text me and he made it during those times. So, that company is a nice one.

    Anything has been fixed and repaired through American Home Shield's service whatever and whenever it happened. I've only had minor things repaired and the most expensive was a hot water tank. It probably came with the house and those don't last that long. Then, when the other guy came in to look at the dishwasher, he said it was done. The guys from the company that delivered the first dishwasher called and said that they were headed my way. I thought I would beat them but they were already there and had it unpacked. When they brought it in, I opened the door to look at it and I pulled the top tray out and it was crooked. It fell off the rollers. The guy told me that that would okay once it's installed. I was not thinking that something was actually broken and the installer would know. He was looking at it. It had been dropped.

    In a built-in dishwasher, the bottom has a metal frame around it and the guy showed me where it was bent. He opened the inside and the plastic pieces were broken off. So, luckily, the installer was very honest, and told me that he couldn’t fix it and that it wasn't his place to fix the brand-new dishwasher. So, that company was a good choice. The two guys were totally honest and the service overall was fine. I just wished that the guy would have replaced the whole air conditioning because who knows how long it will actually last with it being quite old. But the motor he put on is a tiny bit quieter and the house is staying cool, and it blows out just fine.

I have several properties with them and I use them to get the service. Some of the companies they sent have to go to fix the air conditioning three or four times, and that caused me a lot of issues with my tenants. There must be a way to rate those companies that they use and then take action with those that are not rating well. But I like that the company service, the contractors or the technicians, are assigned quickly. Their operator services is pretty good.

    With my recent claim, Piedmont Mechanical came as soon as possible and they fixed the AC in the first visit. I had another service for my furnace in my personal residence and the company that they sent did an estimate to me for the furnace and their out-of-pocket was about more than $2,000. I asked them to give me an estimate to replace the entire HVAC so I could see. I was thinking that another 2,000 and then I have everything new and I would be happy for another 10 years with no issues. Well, the estimate came very high at about 6,000. American Home Shield's cash out wasn't even included there. I asked how much would that be and they told me 450. It was very little for an entire unit.

    I called American Home Shield and told them that because the cost was very high with this company, I searched for other companies. I found another one that gave me 1,800 less price with entire unit with higher capacity. I went to the other company and I replaced the entire unit. Then, I called back to American Home Shield and told them about it. I asked for my cash out which I was told was 450. They said that it would be 300 and something. It will be very convenient for American Home Shield to be dealing with new stuff, which will not get so many service requests, but the amount that they are giving to the customers is very little.

    There's one issue that I'm working with American Home Shield to get reimbursed for a claim regarding my rental's HVAC. I couldn't submit a request for service because their system was down for the entire day. I called the help desk and the rep couldn't do anything through the computer either because the system was down. My tenants have a newborn baby and it was 90 degrees so I let them know it was an emergency and I had to get somebody. The rep told me to call back the next day when the system goes up and gave me the email of the manager. So, I had to call a second contractor to fix the issue. I sent the manager the invoice for reimbursement.

    I bought the policy from AHS over a month ago and I'm very satisfied with the service and the coverage. The people that they contract with are very professional and really good at what they do. The AC was not functioning and Doctor Cool came and replaced the motor. That issue was addressed. Then, there was a second incident and Doctor Cool came in again to replace some part. That was also fully addressed. Also, the technicians were very polite, courteous, and addressed the issue professionally, and so far, effectively.

    I had a clog in the bathroom sink until the guy came out and he was able to solve the problem really quickly. I haven't had any issues since then, so he did a good job. He was very professional. Everything was smooth. When I submitted the claim in Home Shield, I received one message that said to reach out to them. When I reached out to them, they said that they will return my call within 24 to 48 hours. So it was kind of a miscommunication. I didn't know if I was supposed to call them or if they were supposed to reach out to me. They should be a tracking system from Home Shield till you get your service or when everything is completed.

    Elite Electric Solutions had to repair the wire on the air conditioner and the solution was great. The two guys that came out did it within less than an hour and a half and had my air up and running. With different people having different issues with the air, I just wish American Home Shield has more contractors available. But I've been pretty pleased with them. Anything where a house can go down, paying $75 is an easy step as to paying $500 or $600 for somebody to come out and fix something, so it's worth it.

    The service of AHS is good so far. For our recent claim, there was an issue with our plumbing. It was easy to get it taken care of. The experience was fine with the techs. They were quick. They got it all resolved within the same day.

    The freezer of my refrigerator went out. The techs were great. They had to order a part but it was the wrong one. Then they ordered another one. I love my experience with AHS so far. I've had claims over the last couple of years and they've all been resolved.

    There's a wall in my room that connects to the bathroom. One day when I was vacuuming, I started seeing yellow and black stuff coming out after I moved the mirror in front of it. There's a little door and my neighbor told me that that's where the plumbing inside of the wall is. I called American Home Shield ​for a plumber, which was very easy, as always. They are so helpful and so easy to work with. They told me they were sending Shield Plumbing to come check it out.

    The plumber opened the wall and the water was leaking. When I turned on my shower, the water was bursting into the wall. The plumber fixed the pipes, and he did it so fast and efficient. I wondered if the black stuff was black mold, but he said it is not. It's just because the water was leaking so long. I was also told that the wall just needed a coat of primer painted over it. That plumber came twice already and he's amazing. He fixed my toilet before that as well. I'm satisfied.

    American Home Shield sent a service rep out really fast for our refrigerator. The tech was straightforward and professional. It needed a new condenser and the tech couldn't get that anymore. He then told us we could either have a cash settlement or order the replacement through the warranty. So, we bought a new one and somebody told us what the credit amount was. But, I haven't heard any response from having sent the information to be reimbursed. In general, we were very happy with AHS except for this one thing. I trust them. They've been fair.

    The cooling thermostat was not wired up. The first contractor AHS provided us could not work on the second floor or above a second floor so they gave me another contractor, Max-Pro Heating and Cooling. Max-Pro was right on time and they got the issue fixed pretty quick. I'm gonna recommend AHS. They work right away and right on time.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been terrible. They told me on May 24th that I needed a new air conditioning condenser and coil. Since that time, I have requested to find out what make and model they would be ordering. That has still not been answered. I asked how much it would cost for me to upgrade to a higher system, and still haven't gotten that answered. I've had to request a cash in lieu and I had to figure it out about four times before I got it. All of American Home Shield's home warranties are not to the benefit of the consumer at all.

    It's been three weeks without air conditioning with weather in the 90s for two weeks, so I'm very dissatisfied. I will not be moving forward with American Home Shield. I'm also a real estate agent and I'm not going to recommend American Home Shield to any of my clients. Furthermore, I plan to talk with my company about their affiliation with American Home Shield, and tell them about my experience. It has been very complicated to get straight answers.

    At one point, I waited on the line with a customer service rep for about 15 minutes trying to get the answer to what make and model is being ordered and the answer she gave me was the make and model of my current system after 15 minutes. My current system is from 1999. On top of all of all of that, they said it won't be American Standard, which is my current brand, and that it would be something else. They couldn't tell me what the something else was. But why couldn't they tell me that it would not be the same as my current brand weeks ago?
