    We filed the claim, Mills Electric came out and figured out what was going on with the issue. I had a breaker that was tripping. Mills came out and found that the circuit from the box to the outlets was bad. The wire was bad and it had a short somewhere in the wire. So, they had to run a new circuit board. That was on a Friday. And then, they said that they had to get approval from Home Shield before they could continue any further. They couldn't just run a new circuit. They could have repaired whatever was here, but since they had to run a new circuit, they said that was what they had to get the approval for. Two weeks later, I checked my American Home Shield on the website and it said that the job was completed, but they have never been back out.

    I had to call Home Shield and figure out what was going on. They said that they had just closed it and they contacted Mills, who then told them that they were still waiting on approval. And from my understanding, that day, it got approved. And then, they came out and fixed it the day after that. It was a whole two-week process waiting for Home Shield’s approval for them to get started, and then Home Shield said it was completed before they even came back. That was the only thing I had a problem with. Whenever they were here, the interaction was great. Whenever it finally got done, it went great. Everything is fixed.

    We've had to use Home Shield twice and I've been happy with both results. Both of them were issues that were supposed to be covered, and they got covered and fixed. Their waiting time was a little to be desired, but it’s all right. I could understand that. We’re talking about renewing Home Shield whenever it comes up next month, and we’re thinking about adding the appliances to it, too. We’re thinking about adding more coverage than what we have now. We're happy with the service. It’s just a little tweaks that we would like to change.

    I did a claim for the rekeying and ABK rekeyed all the keys to my house. They came back here and they charged me some more for extra keys. It was a little bit of harder work because it's for a standard. They said it wasn't covered under the normal keys. But the guy was very respectful and he knew what he was talking about. He knew the right guys to call. So I was happy with him. They did a great job.

    I had an AC issue and it was an easy process to submit the claim with AHS and get someone out. The techs arrived on the same day or next day and they were personable. They'd been out before, so I had no problem. Since the service, the AC has been performing like it should. All in all, I've been pretty satisfied with AHS.

    I have a rental property and when the AC in that rental was just blowing hot air, I made a claim with American Home Shield. Given the dynamics now with COVID, I like to speak with someone directly. But I can do a claim online as well. What I like is once it is there, you get the information on whoever they're sending out so that you're able to call them immediately and try to schedule an appointment rather than waiting for them to get back.

    AC Blue Air Heating was the contractor and they did great in the sense that it was record-heat at that time and they got at the rental as soon as they could. The tech said it was a condenser issue. They had to go back a second time because the tenant indicated there was an issue and it turned out that they needed to refill with Freon and tighten a valve. The gentleman at AC Blue took my calls when I had concerns. Given the record-heat and that they were busy, they got in there again when something else came up and addressed it. If there was a customer calling as many times as I did, I probably would have been frustrated. But the gentleman always addressed my concerns. I never felt that I was bugging him. I had a lot of questions. I've been pleased all in all with American Home Shield.

    I had a sensor that went out on my stove, so the oven wouldn't work. I filed a claim online with AHS and the process was quick and easy. They were expedient in their response and the technician they sent was very courteous. He was very respectful because there are house rules. So, he took his shoes off at the door and was very complimentary. He did what he needed to do then he left. He was also very upfront in telling me how long it would take to repair the oven. But the part came in ahead of schedule. He made a phone call, then he came out and was on time. He promptly corrected the problem and didn't leave until he made sure that the oven worked. Other than that, I switched companies many years ago because the service from AHS wasn't stellar at all. It was awful. But I ended up coming back to them and my first experience coming back with them was good. So whatever they did was working.

    The coil had frozen up on our AC and when we filed a claim, AHS sent out Honesty Mechanical. The techs were good and professional. They did what they needed to do and everything seems to be working fine. They had to replace the whole unit and the service took two and a half hours. But we canceled our service with AHS today because they didn't cover anything. They said if we wanted to cash out and get somebody else to do it, they’d pay $500. In the end, we paid $4,000 out of pocket for the replacement. Other than that, when I would call AHS, sometimes it would be really hard to understand what their reps were saying.

    We had a water heater problem and Central Ohio Home Maintenance got the problem fixed. But after they had completed the work, they had disrupted the water tank a little bit so there was some sediment that migrated out to the faucets and the rest of the house. They didn't think to tell me or clean those things out. I had to go to the house and take the the aerator out of the damn sinks where the water comes out, clean them and then put them back in. That's a mistake they made and I had tried to reach the plumber three or four times but they never returned the call. I don't know if they are just so busy but that's not a good indicator to me.

    We went with American Home Shield because they were the name brand that was in the area and they were in the reasonable price range. However, I found it was difficult to reach them. Their phone system is not customer friendly. You have a long journey to get to a human being which is unacceptable to me. They need to make it easier for a customer when they're calling in with an issue to not go through an extensive menu of a lot of things that are just time wasters. We wanna get a problem and fixed. We don't wanna give our life history. Whether I renew or not at the end of the year is another question.

    The first company that American Home Shield sent out for an appliance issue would not return calls. Then Champco went a lot better than the other company. Champco was professional and timely. They didn't take long once they got involved. It was over a weekend and we got it taken care of in about three business days. Overall, American Home Shield has the best coverage. Once somebody gets out here, it's okay. Their cost is not a problem. I lived with it. But I'm always dealing with somebody overseas so the communication gap is sometimes very difficult. They should move their customer service back to America.

    When filing claims, we have a booklet that says call AHS first and they set up whoever we need. It just takes a long time to get somebody on the phone. We had to wait an hour, one time, on hold. Recently, we had a sewage back up in our bathtub, in the shower, and the toilets weren't flushing. The first company that cam and they said they couldn't help as they don't have the tools. They were worthless. I don't want them ever sent here again. Then the guy from the second company was rude to us and he never returned the call nor showed up.

    The third company was Plumb-Rite and the guy came to the door and asked what the problem was. We told him and he said that he didn't have to come in and that he could just do it right outside our house. He did the cleanout and he said that probably what it was, the people had gone to the bathroom and then nothing had flushed, completely flushed it out. He told us what to do in the house. He was just nice as pie.

    We don't want anybody else but Plumb-Rite to come to the house. They were the greatest and I would recommend them, top-of-the-line. However, AHS should not have the other two companies do business. I've heard really bad things about the first company. All they do is come in, say they can't do anything, and then leave. Then AHS ends up having to pay them, which is ridiculous for them not doing their thing.

    I called in about my dishwasher. One of the top racks where it holds the dishes in place fell over and when I called, the girl said, “Yeah, it's covered.” They sent a man out and they charged me $100. He ordered the part and I got a letter that said that the part is on backorder. It’d be August before I get it and then I got a letter the other day that said they're not covering it. I spoke to a representative after waiting an hour and a half on hold, and he said that he'll try to get my $100 back. I told him I was gonna cancel my policy if I didn’t and he said, “Well, we’ll see what we can do.” but I never heard anything after that.

    Overall, my experience is not very good. It was easy to submit the claim and everything was fine till I got that letter. I can’t get them on the phone and when a lady answered, she was all garbled. I asked her to please call me back and I gave her the number. She then hung up, but I never heard from her again, so then I had to try to get them again. American Home Shield is terrible. I also went on their Facebook page and all the way down, people are complaining.

    The washer just quit. I called American Home Shield to submit a claim and the reps were helpful. I talked to this girl and then she sent me to somebody else. When she sent me to somebody else, they said everybody was busy and I would have to wait for the next person. So I kept waiting and waiting. They never said if you give them your number, they would call you back. They just kept saying, "You're the next customer. Your information is very important to us." For two hours, I listened to that and messed up my whole day. But I finally just said, "Forget it. I'll call back later." So I called back this morning and I got somebody right away. Then he pulled up my records and told me that I'd have to wait 'till when they get to me. They would give me a call.

    They've got claims all the way up from the 4th to the 21st. So they said that I could go and get my own dishwasher and they would reimburse me for $392. But I told them I couldn't afford to go get one and that dishwasher cost a lot more than $392. So I told them I'd just wait for them to bring me one. When I get my dishwasher, I'll be happy. But until then, I'm not too happy.

    I had Home Shield for two or three years and then I stopped. I came back and I've been with them a year or two. But I'm unhappy now and I'm gonna stop being a member or a customer because now it's changed. Two weeks ago, I had a couple leaks in the backyard and I got out my plan and it said that it covers leaks. I remembered when I signed up that they were trying to figure out which plan to put me on and I remember I went ahead and I bought the best plan they had. But I pulled out my plan and it said it covers leaks but I didn't know if it covers outdoor leaks.

    I called Home Shield and they didn't have a person on the phone. The only thing on the phone was so automated. The only thing on the phone is just, “If you want to start a new service request, press one.” I hung up and I waited a couple of days because I needed to think it over. Is that worth the risk of $100? I thought it was. I have the Cadillac of their plans. I called back to see if I could talk to somebody and it doesn't have it as an option.

    I went ahead and I thought they were gonna work with me. I paid $100 and the guys came out really fast. They were really friendly. But they said they don't think Home Shield covers it. But they put it in and they said I can talk to Home Shield. They didn't cover it and I was out $100. I still had both leaks. I was frustrated. I called earlier this week and said I'm gonna stop my membership. They were very nice then and the rep said she’d reimburse me. But I haven't seen it on my credit card statement. Also, she asked if they could keep me as a customer and I said no. I just wanna talk to somebody sometimes.

    But my AC claim was good. The guy from Same Day Air Repair was timely, professional, super friendly, and super knowledgeable. He fixed the problem and he did it pretty quickly. I feel good about that. If I had talked to the lady that I talked to a couple of days ago sooner and someone provided me a phone number to contest it, that would have helped me and that would’ve helped my frustration level. The way I was, I was left with the same problem and I was out $100. The way I was looking at it was that I’m not only without $100, I was out $450 because that's my yearly plan. I paid $550 and there's nobody to talk to about my two leaks.

    There were three things that happened. There was a clip that needed to be added to the sink in the guest bathroom. The toilet was leaking in the master bathroom. There was a big leak in the kitchen sink so the entire faucet was replaced. The tech came out to find out what needed to be done, then he had to get the parts and he came back some days later to install all the parts. Then I called back again because the flapper of the toilet in the master bathroom would stay in the up position whenever I flushed the toilet. So I had to manually push it down every time. We finally got that taken care of this past Monday. He made three trips to my house. Everything seems to be working fine.

    With that last one, it took me a while to get them to come back again because I didn't call American Home Shield because I didn't wanna start another claim.

    The AC stopped blowing totally and it wound up being a compressor and a few other problems. The contractor came out, did not hesitate and changed it. The next day, the brand-new air conditioner went out. A week later, they were able to get another one and it has been running ever since. I give them the highest grade there is. They're very professional and they've done a wonderful job. When I first joined American Home Shield, my understanding was if the air conditioner was out, they would replace it. I had to pay $400 out of my pocket for the air condition but once I read the fine print, it made sense to me. You pay for the first $10 and up on a compressor.

    I had another problem but it had nothing to do with American Home Shield. It was the company that they were dealing with. I had a washing machine that was out for nine weeks.

    The drain pump in my washing machine was not working and it kept giving us an error. Plus, I had to have a converter put on my dryer to convert it from natural gas to propane. I submitted a claim to American Home Shield and their contractor Montezuma Appliance Repair came. The tech was a young guy. I usually get a bunch of older men because they are in a dying trade. The young man who came from there was amazing and he fixed my problems. He put everything back and off he went. I would have never even known he was there.

    So far, I really like American Home Shield. I've had several home warranty companies and AHS has been the best by far. However, I wish that they would bring their call center to American. They are in the Philippines and India and the accents of their agents can be so heavy and I get so frustrated repeating myself that I don't even call AHS now. I don't have time to repeat myself 100 times or ask the agents to repeat themselves. Instead, I go online and order what I need on their fabulous website. Regardless, AHS is really good and their prices are right. They're quick and they send out the best contractors.

    When we came in, part of the ceiling was all over the floor in our den. Water was coming down on too. We didn't know what was going on. We didn't even know that there was a return pipe in the attic. We called Allstate, our insurance company, and they referred us to our home warranty insurance. We called American Home Shield and they sent out a plumber. When the guy came out, he went up in the attic and checked everything out. One of his assistants went with him and they were able to put the pipe in. It didn't break. They said it was like somebody was heavy enough to step on it and just pushed through. They grabbed it and pushed it back together and that stopped the leaking.

    The guy that was with the boss said that he had put it back together. However, the boss said it was just temporary because they'd had to put some kind of glue to make it tight and fit together. They said that they couldn't do that because they were plumbers and this was an air conditioning problem so they left it at that. American Home Shield sent another company which was Bennett. When the air conditioning guy came to the door, he had smelled what was, in his opinion, very dangerous to us and said that we needed to get out of the house. That kind of frightened us because he said he smelled mold and mildew. As it turned out, the whole ceiling has asbestos. Right now, they're working on it. They have sectioned off the area and they are running a test.

    I've been having problems all summer with my central air unit and different contractors have come out here. The first contractor Home Shield sent out said the blower is not blowing out enough air. He said that he put the paperwork in and that the blower needs to be replaced because it's not sufficient anymore. Home Shield tried to find a blower and then, for whatever reason, they sent out a second contractor.

    Quality Air came out and said that my system was overcharged. The tech took some of the refrigerant stuff out and I really had a problem because then, it's blowing warm air. They also said I needed to do maintenance on my system and I needed to have it cleaned. I had it cleaned last year and it wasn't due yet but I went ahead and had it cleaned out. But it was still having the same problem. I called for Quality Air to come back out again. The tech told me that even though I had my system cleaned out, there was something that's sealed that the cleaners didn't get to. He had another excuse. I don't wanna deal with them because they always look for a different excuse than solve the problem. They always gotta come out two and three different times.

    I called and complained so Home Shield sent a third contractor out, R&J Services. R&J said that my system was undercharged. I asked how it could be undercharged when the second contractor said it was overcharged. I'm fighting with Home Shield now. They said I have to pay $300 to get my system charged up and I asked why when the second contractor took stuff out.

    We were in the middle of a heat wave and we had no air. I have a handicapped son and I had to go out and buy two units. And submitting this claim was horrible. The lines were so busy that I was on hold for a hour. The first thing I did was put in for them to give me a callback. Then I called back and was on hold for an hour, only for somebody to answer the phone and hang up. Trying to get back, I was on hold again. I had a three-hour wait before they even called me back. Then I finally get someone and I asked for a supervisor but they wanted to try to resolve the problem, which still kept me at step one. I wound up not getting the help that I needed.

    I put in four requests for a supervisor and they transferred me. I got somebody who's a step in between the supervisor and the customer service person and that's when they sent the third person out. I had some customer service reps that really tried to work this out but I got stuck where nobody wants to give me a supervisor. To this day, I still have not heard from a supervisor.

    The whole root of the problem is the blower and now, we're just coming out of the fifth heat wave. What is it gonna take? The blower blows for both systems. This winter, we're gonna be up in here with no heat. I'd rather deal with the heat wave and have them fix the system than try to heat this house up in the winter. It's been a very bad experience this year with Home Shield.

    I have two air conditioner units and my downstairs unit wouldn’t work at all. The burners would come on if you set it to heat and the outside compressor would come on if you set it to air conditioning but the fan motor wouldn’t blow. It wound up being a circuit board up in the attic. I did the claim through the American Home Shield website and it was very good. I got a text message that said when the person was gonna come to my home and they said he could be at my house from 10:00 to 2:00. The contractor was great and the repair helped a lot.

    There's one other company that does this type of work and I tried them once. I wanted to see what a different company was like because their commercials made them seem so responsive and good.

    We have an automatic garage door. Then the mechanism in the machinery part of the garage door opener broke. Phoning in the claim was the only way I could file the claim because if I'd go online, there was nothing anywhere that would let me select garage door. It was almost an hour to get a live person on the line. But when I finally got to talk to someone from American Home Shield, it was great.

    AHS said that the contractor would call me within two to three days but it ended up being five. AHS did call me back and said they were having a hard time getting ahold of someone. Then there was a little bit of a frustration 'cause not only did it take six days for the Lake Anna Garage Doors to call me, but then it also took five days when they finally came out to get the work done. So, I waited about 10 days before anybody actually showed up.

    There's a hard plastic that is part of the mechanism for the garage door opener. The contractor said that this part has been known to wear out. So they replaced that part and tuned everything up so to speed. Everything's back to normal. Overall, I'm very happy with American Home Shield. But the time that it took to fix the issue was the most disappointing part.

    We just purchased the house and we had a leak somewhere in the laundry room with the washing machine. It leaked to the downstairs basement. When the contractor came and repaired, it was more to do with the faucet. It was hooked up to the plug for the washing machine. They were very good and very professional. They were on time and answered all my questions. Once it was done, they made sure that it was working properly. I like the service of American Home Shield.

    I had a problem with the water heater. AHS sent out Echo Plumbing. They were very responsive and everything went great. But we ended up a week without hot water and we had to boil water because the tech couldn't see us right away. We had to wait for our time, but he came as soon as he could see us. The heater went out on a Monday and he came on Thursday. Then he was right back on Monday with the water heater ready to go. He also wore a mask. We’re big COVID compliant people because I've got two kids with asthma and he was awesome with that. He was very clean and he used our back door, which meant that he didn't have to traipse through the house. He was very polite, too. Everything went very smoothly and the service was very fast.

    I had another warranty one other time for a house I had in Virginia and I was a first time homeowner at that point. And every time I called there was some reason why they couldn't cover the repair. But I have not had that problem, not one time, so far with American Home Shield. The first time I signed up with them, I didn't pay for the warranty because I had it come with the house when I bought it. But I renewed and I've been so pleased that I did. It's a great peace of mind to know you've got that as a backup if you need it. I also love the online option. I've got kids and I'm super busy with them.

    There was a leak in my water heater. I called American Home Shield and they set me up with Gator Plumbing. The tech from there was professional and very nice. He came out, took a look at my water heater and realized that it needed to be replaced. AHS let me know that there were some additional costs on top of acquiring a regular water heater as there were things that needed to be brought up to standard. We did that, got a new water heater and now it works great. We only had two to three hours without a water heater.

    I also called Home Shield for a leak under my sink. I paid the $125 service fee and they set me up with a different plumbing company. The techs from there came within a two-day turnaround time. They stopped the leak and there were no additional charges on top of the service fee. I've had AHS for three years and their warranty has covered things that I would have to pay out of pocket for.

    I filed the service request online through the Home Shield website. It was easy to submit the claim and then they responded, and then I heard from Steven L. Dingus shortly thereafter. Steven came out and looked at the washing machine and the dryer. He fixed the dryer but he was unable to fix the washing machine. He tried to fix it but he said he couldn't, and then he said he just sent the information on to Home Shield. My wife was there and the tech told my wife exactly what he needed to do, and then he called us back saying he will come back and do the repairs. I was there that time and he said, “Hey, I got your dryer fixed,” explained what that was, and then he was able to explain to me that he wasn't able to fix the washer but would send that information on to Home Shield. I'm still waiting on that. It's getting to the point where I need to call them because it has been long enough.

    The only downside is when I call in, it's a long wait on the phone call and I don't always have time to wait around. But I was able to talk to a person a few weeks ago and she said that the authorization unit would get back with me. I haven't heard. If I really needed it, if it's a furnace in the middle of winter and it took this long, I would be really concerned.

    My AC had stopped working. Lane Services came out the first time, put a couple of pounds of Freon in it and said that it was good. My house started to cool down, and then a few days later, it stopped. When I called American Home Shield back and told them my AC stopped working, they said, "We're gonna try to get the people out there." Then they called me back and said that Lane couldn't come out. They said they couldn't get anybody out here that day. They had to look around and they got another company.

    The second company came out. The guy looked at everything, and he said that my coils had frozen over and that they were kinda dirty. He said that I didn't have any caps on my high and low port, which he said I'm supposed to have in case there is a leak in the seal. Lane had put some sealant in it to stop the leak. But he said that if you don't have the caps on it, then it doesn't matter because if there's a small leak, the caps will keep the Freon from escaping. Every time my unit was coming on, I was losing Freon. He said that I was gonna be needing to get my coils replaced too. He said that it wouldn't be a good idea for me to have not even the fan to the house to the unit running because it just might completely destroy.

    Lane came out on the third time. The guy that came out put the Freon in, but I hadn't heard anything else about whether or not they're going to try to replace my coils because they were getting crusty and corroded and rusted out. All they did was just put the Freon in, and they put in eight pounds this time around. I'm kinda glad that I got my AC back, but now I am contemplating just going to get a whole new unit. I said, "If it took three times for you to come out here in August in Texas to fix my unit and everything, then we might have a little bit of a problem here." The second company was the only one that said that things needed to be replaced.

    American Home Shield should take in consideration that if somebody is calling over appliances, they should start thinking that they might have to either replace components or replace complete systems, especially if they're looking at a system that is the same age as the house. My house is 20 years old, and I got an old unit.

    I called AHS for a service on the smaller oven that we have. Something wasn't heating up. The dishwasher also had an issue. I've called them so many times and waited on the phone for two and three hours at a time. Then, they said that the contractors would get in contact with us and in the end, they sent a couple of different people. But the only thing we had a lot of problems with was getting the dishwasher. I wanted to stay with GE Appliances because that's what all we have in the house and I wanted to keep everything the same. But we were continuously told that nothing was available and that started in February. We finally bought our dishwasher installed about two weeks ago and we didn't even get a GE. I had to switch it over to a Whirlpool because AHS didn't have the inventory on the GE.

    Other than that, the techs who came out were fantastic, efficient, and clean. They weren't messy as far as the work that they did but they tidied everything up. If I needed something and we didn't have American Home Shield, it would be a nice number to have to give them a call. When they were out to install the dishwasher, they also told me that we needed our garbage disposal replaced because something in the dishwasher runs through the garbage disposal and ours hasn't worked in a long time. We're composters so I put everything out anyway but they said that we need to have the garbage disposal replaced before we should use our dishwasher.

    We also have a plumbing issue and my husband's been after me to call to schedule another appointment with the company that came to snake out our kitchen sink. It's just as bad as it was. But I haven't had the time to hang on the phone for two hours to wait to talk to somebody at American Home Shield because I don't feel that the company that they sent out did a decent job. I can't even do a whole sink’s worth of dishes to load.

    If you call the sales line, they pick up within the first two minutes. Every call I've made for service has been between 60-90 minutes before anyone even picks up. Both service calls I've made result in the contractor doing no work, and American Home Shield marking the job "complete". (It was not complete, nor was the job even started on either occasion.) This necessitated that I call back in AGAIN and wait on hold for another 60-90 minutes to try and get AHS to perform under their warranty contract.

    Plumbers aren't allowed to actually cut through anything but small pieces of drywall to access a problem area. They also can't fix the drywall, or return the area back to its original condition. You have to make a new service call, pay another deductible, etc etc. So the deductible for a job is rarely what they quote you. It is triple to quadruple, and if you need two people to come out (one to remove the ceiling panel, or access panel), and the plumber to do the plumbing work, there is zero chance you can get them out there at the same time.

    Try to cancel AHS, nowhere on their website allow you to do it. If you call in they will pass you around from one department to next. Each phone pass takes about 30 minutes to 1 hours to talk to someone. Then they transfer to next department. This goes on for hours. Try again next day same thing.

    If I could, I'll give them a zero. My air conditioner doesn't work for 6 weeks. I called many time to report this issue. Finally, on July 10, I filed the claim. The first contractor came and check it. He told me he will be back. However, after one week, no one come. He is just disappeared. I contacted the AHS for many time. Finally, another person from the Service Express check our unit. I was told AHS denied the claim since there is pest urine in the unit. I talked with the contractor. He admitted that he checked our unused unit, instead of the broken one. So, he resubmitted it. However, the AHS still refuse to cover it. They still told me they will deny it because of animal urinate. (There is no animal urine at all).

    I have spoken with this company many times. Each time I wait for 1-2 hours. Of them, four agents said they would call me next day, but never call me back. Thinking about no air conditioner in such hot weather. Nowhere to go because of coronavirus. I developed heat illness three weeks ago. My cat has been lying there, with fur falling off everywhere.

    We were with another home warranty before and we were not very happy with the service we were getting there. So, when our expiration date had come up, we changed over to American Home Shield. We signed up in June and our coverage started very early July. We had a pretty basic claim and it was easy enough to make. We have two AC units and the upstairs unit went out and died on us. We couldn't get it to start cycling so we called American Home Shield and they assigned somebody.

    We contacted TC and the guy came out about two days later which for this time of the year we were happy with. We told him about our problems. He went back to the back and changed out a spark plug that didn't work. He waited around to make sure that it was working and it cooled down, and it did. We were happy with who American Home Shield sent out to help us so we were satisfied. We were happy with his professionalism and with the service that he provided.

    My AC was blowing but it was blowing hot. Someone from the contractor Air Magic came out. The only thing was it was four days before the tech came out at 110 degrees. That was tough. But thank God I have two ACs and I have a couch to sleep on. The tech did something and the AC worked for about two weeks. But it went out again. The second time a tech came, it was three days because he was coming out of Vegas, which is two hours from me. It's 100 miles from me. But I'm still extremely happy. This time, the tech changed the motor and the AC is working perfectly fine.

    We just ended the contract about a year and we had American Home Shield in the past as well. The claims are pretty easy especially online but we did have some difficulty in getting claims filled. We had one that was never filled. It's been open for 11 months and we haven't had a freezer working for 11 months. We are still waiting. There were a lot of issues but I think it had to do with a contractor that American Home Shield had gotten to do the work. We kept calling and calling and no one could ever help. Every time I'd call, they'd have to put me on hold while they'd read through the pages of notes that different people made on it. That was really frustrating. When I call to talk to someone about a claim which I was doing a lot on that one that kept going on and on, I would be on the phone for at least an hour before I get someone talking. The wait times on calls are very long.

    The other claims have worked out pretty well and most of the contractors have been good. American Home Shield has done good work and all the payments have worked out well. They did a good job when they found a couple of appliances that couldn't be fixed and they've been able to replace them. That part of it's gone well. The group that does the buying and coordinates that seems to really go well and we're pleased with that.

    We have one open claim now and we have been contacted. It's a couple of weeks old now and I'm not sure what's gonna happen with that. I have to plan my day to call and wait for an hour. For the other claims, we got notified real fast. The people call us within a day and they come out. Recently, our air conditioning system wasn't working so Dawson Services came out and figured out what the problem was. They didn't have the part and they went and got the part. They came and put it back in and it started working. The claim went very well.

    We had an issue with our dishwasher not washing properly. It drained. Then, we had a problem with the burner of our oven and the stove part wouldn't work. It would boil, but it wouldn't heat up for normal use. We called AHS and they sent somebody over here as soon as someone was free. It was on the next three days that somebody showed up and ordered some parts for both pieces. The service went great. The contractor was really knowledgeable and prompt. Every time he said he was going to be there, he was there. He fixed the issues and he was very professional. We've also had no issues with the appliances since the service.

    Kelly Brothers Electric was absolutely great. The communication was really good, and they were punctual. They were able to come out sooner than later because they had an opening. They called me and let me know that they were gonna come a little bit early, if it was okay. I was happy to get them out here because it was getting hot. The circuit breaker for the AC was melted, so the tech had to replace that switch. He had the part in his van. He was able to go to his van, come back, put it in and be done with it. He wore his mask and we stayed six feet away from each other. Everything was outside, so he didn't have to come in.

    The latest two claims I've had with American Home Shield were really great. I had a claim for a dishwasher. Mine was broken. I've filed a claim back in November of last year and I was getting the runaround. I was calling almost every week towards the end and finally got approval for them to send me a check to get a new one. So, it took us almost eight months to get it resolved. They gave me a cash-out option. They couldn't fix the dishwasher, so they paid me to replace it.

    I had another home warranty before and I was getting the runaround from them. They didn't cover disposals and stand-alone ice makers. But with AHS, I'm paying the exact same amount of money per month but they cover more items. So the first time we called American Home Shield for the disposal, I was wary. We had a leak under the sink. The technician came and tightened it. We could see that the leak was coming from the garbage disposal so the technician replaced it. Within two weeks, it was leaking again. So either the garbage disposal wasn't fixed correctly or that it wasn't the source of the leak.

    When I called America Home Shield back to say that my sink was still leaking, they said that I told them that it was the garbage disposal so they fixed the garbage disposal. They were not gonna do anything else. So we are still having issues with this claim. But when my stand-alone ice maker was leaking and it had stopped making ice, we had an Amtec technician who replaced a part that he already had on his truck with him.

    The contractor did a great job for the first claim. The pool was done. The circulation didn’t work and they sent someone on time. They replaced one with the part and it works. Once they got it repaired, the water pump started working properly and we don’t have any problem since then. They also answered some questions I'm not familiar with in a professional way.

Then the guy from GJC Electric LLC came right away and changed it. He was fine, particularly in these days. I'm older and considered a risk for COVID.

I finally had to call in and speak with a manager to get Lowe's involved. He was trying to put me on to another contractor and that contractor wasn't available for four days. He was able to help me though and he was very nice and helpful. But it took an act of Congress to actually get me help. Also, the hold times at American Home Shield were completely unreasonable. I had to wait in excess of an hour and a half to speak to someone. That happened every time I called them and I don't know if I'm going to renew my contract because I can't ever get to speak to anyone and an hour and a half hold time is just unreal.

    I was a little unhappy about how long it took to get a new motor for the air conditioner. It took nine days to order it. But that wasn't United Air Temp's fault. They said they had to go through American Home Shield to get it. Then they sent the wrong one but the tech got the other one within a day. It was 14 days when we got air again. But the air guys were good. The tech was friendly, professional, and he knew what they were doing. The only problem I have is that Home Shield is a little hard to reach now with the COVID thing.

    The contractors that came out for our recent claim did great. We pretty much had pinpointed what was going on and it just needed the thermostat to be replaced 'cause the thermostat was bad. Everything else was working fine. He checked out everything, made sure it was all running well. He replaced the thermostat and everything went well. He had the part with him because I called them and talked to the girl in the office before he came out.

    AHS is a little difficult sometimes. But I'm sure they get swamped just like everybody else, especially with air conditioning when it's hot. Their response to this call was absolutely fine. We got everything done in a reasonable amount of time. We waited for two days. This particular call, everything went really well. But previously, I've had some issues. The summer before, I had an issue with the air conditioning system. It took three different calls for them to figure out what was going on. I had to wait for a part to be rebuilt. I don't know what they were doing. But it took almost the whole month of August. It was September before I got my air conditioning fixed. So it was a very long period of time in there. If they had just authorized some of the parts being replaced, it would have been great.

    The first company that American Home Shield sent out was very incompetent. The guy didn't know what he was doing and he had no tools on him. So I submitted for a second evaluation and had Air Squad come out and do an evaluation. They said that it was corrosion and the unit definitely needed to be changed. So the technician scheduled me out right away. Air Squad is great. They did another ticket for me a few months prior and I was really satisfied with their plumber.

    Home Shield has made mistakes left and right in doing my ticket. We are so unhappy with them. It takes hours to connect with someone, and that's not only the problem. I wanted Air Squad to come out ‘cause I had such a great experience with them. I had to call Home Shield about nine times because one of the representatives said that in order for us to get Air Squad I needed to submit it as a recall. But this other company said that it shouldn't be a recall because our upstairs bathroom was fine so this should be a whole new ticket. I even told the lady that it had nothing to do with my upstairs bathroom but she said that this was to ensure to get Air Squad out here. Then it just turned into a big fiasco. They weren't approving the work order and they wanted me to pay another $75 to do a whole new complete order.

    It took several representatives and several weeks. This was what delayed Air Squad in coming and doing the repairs. Finally, a manager called me after about three weeks of complaining, getting hung up on, and talking to multiple different people with a heavy thick accent. She said that it was a one-time courtesy. But the courtesy should be on their end and it got my blood pressure high. I and my husband don't wanna even deal with them.

    American Home Shield just messed everything up. Everything is $75 which is fine, but they don't check the contract. For instance, another pitfall, I submitted for my pool and I needed a pool tech to come out because one of the pipes to my solar panel for the pool was leaking. I paid 75 bucks and the pool guy came out. But then he said that it was not even covered under home warranty. He also checked the pool heaters and he said that the filters were not covered. It was a waste of 75 bucks for the pool people to come out. If I'm telling AHS the issue, they should check my contract and tell me right off that bat if this not be covered under home warranty. They're not only wasting my time, but they're also wasting my money. They should also be competent enough to know how to process orders and recall and know the difference between a new order, a recall, and a second opinion.

    My freezer wasn’t cooling and Home Shield sent out a contractor. The guy who came out gave a diagnosis and said it was not repairable. We got a second opinion from Zen and the tech realized that there might be a leak and something was wrong. He said the job was gonna take two hours to repair, so he rescheduled another visit. He came back and was able to fix it within two hours. It was a really good experience. The tech from Zen was very knowledgeable and he knew his job. He was transparent and I would definitely recommend him. Home Shield needs more service people like that.

    The claims process with Home Shield to get something fixed is too much work for what I pay for the service. I have to call them, figure out why the claim was denied originally, and then have to potentially pay another $75 for the second opinion if the guy was gonna deem it unrepairable. I understand Home Shield is taking the repair person's words on what needs to be fixed but it defeats the purpose of me having the warranty. It drives me nuts.

    I have Home Shield on another property and I had a claim that I never even got a second opinion on. I had to call back and ask why did I have to pay out of pocket fees. If the repair is to change out the pressure valve and the plumber deems that he gotta switch out the switch valve and the turnout valve as well, isn't that part of the warranty? The plumber was saying that it was damaged so wouldn't all that fall under the same warranty, if it needs to be all fixed? But instead, they wanted to charge me $400 to do a job that they were already doing and the valve doesn't even need to be changed out. I've had other claims where I had to pay because I needed to get it to code and I understand that aspect of it. But what's upsetting to me is that to get it to code, the tech used some of the parts that I still had. They're taking advantage of the people.

    Home Shield was referred by a family member. All I did was request for the service call since I joined Home Shield. We did everything online. That was very simple. The condensation from the machine leaves some water on the inside the machine, which gives this error message. And it shuts down the machine completely so we get no hot water. Usually, what we have to do is to unplug the machine for a couple of days. And then, once it dries out, you plug it back in and it works again. I have no hot water during that time.

    USA Plumbing was wonderful. However, when the tech came in and tried to fix our water tank, he called the manufacturing company to try to fix it. He tried to give them all the information they needed to replace it. But even though there was an issue, the manufacturer said that it's a flaw in the machine therefore there was not much you can do about it. But it's manufacturer’s fault. The tech was very professional, informative and right on. Also, He always called before he headed out.

So then, when I did the claim with AHS, someone came and he turned whatever key. But then he noticed that there was a blade broken, and he replaced the disposal.

    Overall, the process was really simple. Everything went well. I appreciated that the technician who came was very responsible. He was attentive to my needs, but also explained to me what was happening throughout. He was also very cognizant of health concerns, and so he wore a mask and shoe covers. He was very helpful in the situation. AHS was very attentive throughout the whole process. So I got a text, a call, an email, just saying, “Your request has been submitted,” or, “Here is the company, feel free to reach out if you haven't heard in this amount of time.” I liked the constant communication and the timeliness of it all.

    AHS is simple enough that you can do the request and you pay the $100 service fee, but if anything is wrong, that can't be fixed, it covers the replacement. I like that. It was frustrating once when I had an issue with the garbage disposal before and it was just I needed to press the button underneath. I paid $100 for someone to tell me to press the reset button.

    I had a problem was with the refrigerator so the contractor came out and they discovered that the fan was gone in the back. They ordered the fan. I told the tech that the latch for the automatic icemaker in the refrigerator door was broken and it needed a replacement. He told me he was not here to fix that and that he was only here to fix the problem underneath. But he was here to fix my refrigerator. We got two broken parts so what was the problem? So they were only there to fix one thing and that was the fan. The guy had to come back and then he said it was gonna take a couple months for them to order the part. They ordered the part and when the kid came out to put the part in, he busted a bunch of the little clips off that hold the whole face into the door and just left them on the floor and left.

    Everything works but we weren't overly excited about the way it was done. It was like, “I'm in a hurry to get this in, get it done, and then I'm out of here. And oh, by the way, I'm only here to fix one thing, not multiple things with the same appliance at the same time.” If you’re here to fix my refrigerator, then fix the whole thing, not just parts of it, because it costs me $125 every time I call for you to come out and fix it. They just wanted to get more money out of me.

    We've had another incident where they came out because when our microwave wouldn't turn on and off. It kept flipping back and forth. The fan arbitrarily comes on by itself. I don't wanna spend another $125 to have somebody come out and give it a temporary fix and then walk away. By the time I get done paying for that, I could have bought a new microwave. So I’m not calling them again. The problem is getting the right people to come out and fix it right the first time, instead of hitting me for $125 every time we have to put a request in to get something fixed. That gets expensive on top of what we’re already paying American Home Shield.

    When the dishwasher went out, the kids came out and they looked at it. They determined what the problem was and said that they couldn't fix it and they were gonna send me a new one. The next day, the kid came up with a brand new one. He pulled the old one out, put the new one in and disposed of it. All was good to go. It was a good experience and it was worth the $125 for the call.

I filed it on a Saturday and Kenneth Buggay Mechanical came out on Monday. The technician was great and very nice and knowledgeable. We really liked having him. He had to replace a relay switch.

The same technician came out the next afternoon and he determined that it needed an evaporator. They had to order that but due to the Coronavirus, it was gonna take weeks and possibly months to get it. But the air conditioning guy called me and said he found a part in South Carolina. He can have it overnighted but we would have to pay for the overnight freight, which we gladly did.

    The technician brought the part out and told us before he brought it out, that when they do the evaporator, they have to drain all of the Freon out of our system and that American Home Shield only pays for the first $10, which was extremely disappointing to me. I was not happy because this whole thing ended up costing us $530 out of our pockets, which is not something that we were expecting to do. We had to pay it because American Home Shield wasn't going to replace the unit. They didn't even offer to help us with it. Our unit is 23 years old and this year is the first year we've ever had any parts replaced in it. We let the contractor fix it and it's been working great ever since.

    The contractor that came for my recent claim with AHS was excellent. He was prompt and informative. He told me exactly what was going on and he was step by step. Then he went to the other bathroom and he was able to repair. The first bathroom, there was nothing going on. It was just a user error on my end. So, he explained it. He was very detailed and he was friendly too.

    With American Home Shield in general, they are okay. For the most part, I get the things that I need. I only have one issue and that was just recently. This had to do with my washing machine service that they did last Monday. When the guy came out to do the service, three days later, AHS charged me tax on to my bill, and I've never paid tax. I've been telling them that but they are refusing to dismiss the tax. The rep told me what they do is every now and then, they randomly choose the one to pay taxes. I told her that I was gonna take it up the chain, but I haven't had a chance yet. She said that she was overseas. I asked to speak to someone. She told me I had to call back and I didn't like that thing.

    I want to talk to a live representative when submitting claims to American Home Shield and it's impossible to do. I had a difficulty with a claim because I did not like some of the photos they’ve sent. The contractor for the splash door was good but ever since people worked on my furnace, it was a wonder my house didn’t burn down.

    We had a stoppage somewhere in the line that we couldn't find ourselves. It was backing up our sink so we had issues with water standing in our sink. We did a claim for it online and the submission process was self-explanatory. It's pretty easy and there was a pretty fast response as well. The turnaround time was just a couple of days. We were given IGD Plumbing as our contractor. The tech did his thing, found the stoppage with his tools, and cleared it out. He didn't cause a mess and didn't cause any issues. We were happy about it. From our experience with this stoppage, American Home Shield was perfect. People should definitely have a home warranty. It's definitely worth the initial investment in case anything goes wrong with the home itself.

    The refrigerator wasn't cooling and AZ Appliance Repair was sent out by Home Shield. The tech did a good job and he finished the repair in one day. But the contractor we had for our shower claim was horrible. The tech came a couple of days after I placed the ticket and he took a look at the shower. He said that his truck had a problem and he doesn't have any inventory. He said that he would come back. He needed to place an order for the part and he went away. After 10 days, he came back and he didn't even know what part it was. He said he didn't have the part and that he had to go get it so he left again.

    He came back again and then he claimed that he installed the showerhead. But when I went to check it out before he left, the way he installed it was completely opposite of the other shower handle. I pointed it out to him and he said the original builder put it wrong and that the way he put it was correct. But I told him all of my bathrooms have the same mechanism so he opened the other one and tried to figure out how that works. He fixed it but it's too loose. All the other showerheads turn with proper friction. I don't think he has done a good job at it. Home Shield should ban that company.

    American Home Shield has quite excessive wait times. I waited an hour yesterday to get through on the phone. It had been that way all week and I just didn't stay on the line the other times. But so far, they're not bad. The online option of filing a claim was really easy but the only reason why I called this time was that we thought that the dishwasher was harmed in the last time it got fixed so it went back out. But beyond that, we wouldn't have called. The guy from Unique Appliance Repair was very nice. He said there was nothing that caused the issue with the dishwasher to happen aside for something that was blocking it. The dishwasher is empty right now. We're running it to see if the soap comes out, and then we'll see if that is the problem. He was very good and nice. He had a mask on and kept his distance.

    At first, we thought it was a plumbing issue. Every time you put the water on it runs everywhere, then it backs up on us. When the plumber came, they said it’s a pipe that’s clogged somewhere that’s why the water is backing up. They claimed that there was a sock stuck in my pipe and someone would have to go to the roof to get it out to unclog the pipe. But they never fixed it so we went around the other route. American Home Shield sent the washing machine people out and they said I needed a break valve. They said they’re gonna take it from there and see whether they can stop the leak. They ordered some parts and we never heard from them.

    I’ve been trying to do this for over a month and I've had 3 companies come out so far. American Home Shield is lousy. When you call on the phone, you got to wait for an hour or two for somebody to even answer the phone. Before the pandemic, you gotta wait at least 40 minutes but now, it’s really, really long. I tried to call them the other day and I couldn’t get through. I’m gonna call them tomorrow and see what’s taking the appliance people that long.

    Three weeks ago, I had a blower motor in our air conditioning and heating unit that went out and American Home Shield replaced it. When the contractor came that day, they took the part, but they didn't do the repair that day. They had to order the part and they got it fixed the next day. However, I noticed last night it's getting really loud, so I was thinking I might have to call them back out.

    I had a plumbing claim and the plumbers Home Shield sent out never did anything because they said it was a clog on top of the house and they weren't licensed to go there. It was the first time I called them out here and they couldn't do it. Someone else has to come in and I got somebody to do that. Another contractor came out for my refrigerator and stove. My stove has been off because it blew up on us and the tech got it going but it popped again. He said he was calling his supervisor and his supervisor is supposed to come out. The refrigerator is waiting on a fan and food is going bad. And no one has got back in touch with me for the food disposal in the dishwasher. They said an electrician is supposed to come for that. I let Home Shield know but I haven't seen an electrician so my food disposal is still not working.

    I called American Home Shield and I told the rep what my needs were. It was for replacing a pressure regulator valve and the rep said it was covered. The plumber came out and looked at what the problem was. He submitted the work order for it but he did not fix it that day. The next call that I got was from AHS saying that I would have to pay him $580 to do the job. But I got somebody a little cheaper than that to do the job. Plus, I have already given AHS $100.

    I called and asked the plumber how much they charge to come out and look at a job. He said that they don’t charge for that. So, I had submitted to ask for my $100 but I haven't had any follow-ups from American Home Shield. I'm gonna be shopping for another coverage company. I told my two daughters that are also homeowners to hold off on buying from AHS because that did not go right. You should read your contract even before you hear someone from the company say that something’s covered.

    I noticed a lot of water around the base of my HVAC unit. I wasn't sure what it was. I contacted Home Shield and then they had the Buggay Company who they contracted out for me. I put that claim on Saturday and they sent me a text on Sunday and said that they would be out on Monday morning between 9:00 and noon. I said that would be fine, and the contractor gave me some instructions on what to do in the meantime, in case the refrigerant was frozen up. That was good. At least the tech gave me a heads up on the mechanics behind it so that when they got here, they didn't lose any time. And at 10:30, he said, "Hey, our guy's on the way."

    The guy was here by 10:45. Whoever it was walked right in and said, "Well, here's the problem." And he took this thing off, fixed it, put it all back together, and done deal. He then walked outside and he said, "I'm here. Let me check out the outside unit on this," and he checked to make sure that it had enough coolant. And he said, "You're all set. You're good to go." He was in and out of here in 15 minutes and the AC has been working fine since.

    I have used Home Shield on five separate occasions. Everybody that they contracted out did what I expected, and that's why I continue to keep Home Shield. It's a very simple process. Their website to set up an appointment is very user-friendly. For a guy like me, I appreciate that. You go in, you put your information in, and they let you know that you will have someone contact you. Every time I've used them, I've had somebody contact me right away. That speaks a lot.

    I've talked to several people about having a warranty. And of course, they wanna sit down and calculate this out. I said, "Look, guys, you know, for 650 bucks a year, you got peace of mind, you really do. You can take anything that's gonna break down in your home. You pay that deductible or copay, whatever it is, 100 bucks." I said the agreement is good and Home Shield honors it. If they can't fix it, they gotta replace it. Granted, it's not gonna be something of comparable value, but you have that peace of mind. I just ended it as they can do what they want, but maybe one day, I would say, "I told you so." I'm a very satisfied customer.

    The air conditioner wasn't coming on and it wasn't running. It wasn't doing anything, nothing at all, and it affected us very much. I called American Home Shield and the representative told me they were backed up on stuff. She said was sending them over and that somebody would be in touch with me from the company. One person said it was gonna be almost a week before someone could get out here, and then C & C said they could be out here in three days. We weren't able to do anything during those three days and we had to go to a hotel room and stay for two nights.

    I ended up having to buy a window unit and two floor fans just to be able to keep some sort of air circulating in here. The kids had to go stay at my mom's house. Plus, I have animals and we had to board my two dogs and my two cats. I was left in my room with an air conditioning unit and two floor fans going. I contacted American Home Shield about doing the claim because they told me that if I had to go buy the window unit or the floor fans, there was something they could do. I understand there's not a full reimbursement on it, but there was something. When I contacted the representative about that, she said she would send me an email. I never received an email, so I didn't know how to go about trying to get the reimbursement.

    Still, I would recommend American Home Shield. The only issue I had was it took three days before anybody was able to even contact me to tell me that they could come out. Apart from that, the technician from C & C Appliance Repair did great. He called me, said he was on his way and he was here within that 20-minute time frame. He was able to fix the air conditioner within an hour of being here as well and we haven't had any problems with it so far.

I wanted to select Sears ‘cause they've come out at one of my other houses a couple of times and I had been really pleased with them and they’re a preferred vendor too. They assigned me this GE. I couldn't locate a phone number. It was very hard to get ahold of them on the phone, which was nearly impossible even when I did get a phone number and called them. We had to go through all this stuff.

    Then they pushed me to make an appointment. That was on a Monday, and it was supposed to be for Friday. Then they called Friday morning and canceled the appointment because they had an emergency. I called back to American Home Shield and they scheduled somebody else, and they got them out here today. The contractors called and told me they’ll be here any minute.

    The motor on the pump was not working. It was two summers ago, the motor on the pump went and a different company came in and supposedly replaced the motor. Then it went out again the next summer, and that was when Expert Pools came out. The guy ran the serial number on the motor that was replaced, and it was an eight-year-old motor that the other company had put on it. I called AHS and made a complaint when the guy told me what the deal was. Expert Pools has been out several times putting band-aid on this old motor. Then last time, it just finally was completely shot and they replaced it. They were wonderful.

    This is our fourth home to have American Home Shield with. We had one since 1988. The only time that we ever were not with them was, when we got a home warranty for the first year we owned a home. But as soon as that was up, we've always gone back to American Home Shield. I'm completely satisfied. I've never had any issues with them. They've always been very prompt about covering. Other than that one pool technician, typically the contractors that are sent to my house were awesome.

They had to replace a microwave here and put a coil in the air conditioner three years ago. Recently, our central air conditioning unit went out. I made the claim and then I got a text message from Home Shield that said they contacted H. D. or I can contact them. At that time, where I lived at, it was 105 degrees. It was on a Friday night. I told them we needed some help and to figure it out. I called the number that they gave me and talked with the service guy who was on call. He said, “Well, I can't come out tonight. I can come out first thing in the morning.”

    I said I called Home Shield and got the number. He then said if he came out because it was an emergency, it would be a $90 call. I said I didn't care as long as I got my air conditioner on. He did. He came out and changed the thing, and I gave him $90. He was good. He was truthful, and he said, “I know exactly what the problem is,” and he was right. The AC needed a capacitor. He showed me how he put it in there and it’s still working.

    I understand he couldn't come out late at night. It was something we can live through overnight, but the issue needed to be addressed as soon as possible because it was hotter than hell that time here, and he did. He was out there 8:30 in the morning, and he said it would take him five minutes and he was exactly right. Five minute and he was gone.

He was here five minutes. The service was really good. He was really friendly and professional.

    Filing a claim with American Home Shield is pretty simple. You just call them, explain to them what your issue is and they'll send someone out at their earliest availability. The only thing is -- and I don't know if it's due to COVID and more people being at home -- it was a long wait time for the provider to come provide me with service.

    Submitting claims is simple when I do it online. But to call in, I have difficulties with the person understanding what I'm trying to explain to them. They don't give an option for a company to use. They just pick a company and that's who they send. American Home Shield should give us more options as far as vendors and if we're not satisfied with a particular vendor, they should allow us to choose another vendor versus if that vendor comes out and say the same thing, then we're gonna be charged, thus allowing us to have a second opinion if we don't agree with what that vendor was saying. Other than that, I hadn't had any issues. A lot of the things that I have put in for service, I've had quick responses, except when it comes to my air conditioner. They come out and do the work.

    I had a claim with American Home Shield on a plumbing issue. They sent Redman Down South Enterprise and everything went great. They had masks on when they came in. They asked a question, “Was anybody here?” They kinda just stayed away from us. They asked us if we could stay in another room, which we did. The problem was in my utility room, so we stayed away. The plumbing was repaired a long time ago. But now, I'm waiting for them to do the drywall work. I called American Home Shield, they had to cut a hole in the wall to make the repair, and that was done promptly and done well. It’s not leaking. I’m just waiting for American Home Shield to get me a contractor out to close in the hole.

    As far as the timeframe, I’m very satisfied. It didn't take long. I called the claim in on a Monday morning. Redman called and scheduled, and came out that next day. So, it was prompt. American Home Shield has pretty good service. I’ve been with them for about seven years now, and it's been very beneficial. You never know when something's gonna break down. It's nice to have a warranty just in case that happens because it's kinda hard to come out of your pocket with hundreds of thousands of dollars for certain repairs. So, it’s great to have it.

    When I call AHS to submit a claim, it's early morning. Sometimes, it's before 8 o'clock. I know somebody's working around the clock, but if there's no one there to answer the phone, then you just leave your information. Then, they send a message that they entered the claim in for you, and then they send you a text letting you know that they received the claim and that the technician should be calling you within 24 to 48 hours. They're very professional.

    We moved in our house and we were having trouble with the AC actually starting and working. But we had been working a lot and we hadn't had a second to put in a claim with American Home Shield. When we finally had a few days where we could, we filed a claim, which was one of the easiest online things I've ever had to do. When AllTech got here, Matthew was very nice and very professional. He found our problem right away. We needed 3 ½ pounds of Freon put into the system because it didn’t have enough in there to get it to cool. He tech put it in there and it started working a couple of hours later. I got everything fixed within 48 hours of filing the claim. We’re probably gonna end up renewing our warranty after this year.

    J&S All Tech came when our air conditioning unit went out and the service was great. One day, it was blowing cool then it got a little warmer and then it started to blow hot air. I thought it was an easy fix, but when the tech came initially, I wasn't there. My boyfriend was there, so he explained to my boyfriend that the compressor was out. He also had to get a part to get the unit going and he had to wait till the piece came in.

    The only thing that I didn't appreciate about it is the length of time that we had to wait to get someone out there and for him to get the piece. They sent the piece to a location that he wasn't able to go to. Even though the piece came in five days ago, I still had to wait until they transferred it to somewhere else. We were without AC for about two and a half weeks in summer and it was horrible. On a different note, I've had American Home Shield for a while. I got it on this property about a year or so and I used to have it years ago on my rental properties too.

    There was a leak underneath the sink which caused the center island to flood. So, we couldn’t figure out what that was. There was also what was a blockage. Adam, the rep from Hers and His Plumbing, fixed that and then also determined that the disposal needed to be replaced. So, he replaced that. Then, on a secondary call, he found this massive clog in one of the drains underneath the house, which was causing the actual issue. He took four hours and I was shocked. I thought he was gonna say that that was all he could do but he still went under the house.

    Later that night, the upstairs shower blocked up and I thought that he must not have gotten it all. So, I ended up calling them back and Adam came out again. I told him that from a timing perspective, this has to be related. He checked it out and fixed the clog. He said that it was weird timing but he it had nothing to do with the other clog. He was super and he went above and beyond. He cared that the job was finished well and he was incredible. The guy is so full of integrity. He made American Home Shield look like a hero.

    We joined American Home Shield in June and we became active in July 9th. But we were also previous customers a while ago. My dad had to go through a couple of different warranty companies and we’ve had the best service through AHS. It was serendipitous that we joined American Home Shield right before we had this flooding so that worked out well. That claim was great but the range hood claim is a little bit of a different story. The people were good but I have a $3,300 replacement and AHS was only willing to give me $275 for it. But the point is Hers and His Plumbing was amazing. I hope I never have to use anyone else. I wish every single repair went as smoothly. It went super well.

    The latches had broken off our windows and they don't go up and down anymore. American Home Shield told me that they do not cover windows. So, instead of having their contractor Edelen Door and Window come, we decided to go to an independent contractor and pay for the work ourselves. We also had a washer claim and I wasn't satisfied with that either. Home Shield sent a contractor out and put a unit in that sounded just as bad as the one I had. So, I called them saying that while washers make noise, they aren't supposed to sound like a steam engine.

    We filed a service repair 8/15/20. We got an immediate response stating that the contractor had been assigned. It was for our a/c. It went out on Saturday and the temp was 109. We called AHS that same day to advise them we are 2 senior citizens and the temp inside the house was now up to 90. The rep said he would assign us the highest priority service call and that we could call the contractor assigned to get an update on arrival. We called the contractor 4 times, each time just getting voicemail, so we left messages. Since it was the weekend we decided to call again on Monday. We called 3 times on Monday and each time just got voicemail. We call AHS to get an update on what was going on. We had to go to a hotel for Saturday and Sunday nights because we could not stay in the house due to the extreme heat.

    On Monday afternoon, after not hearing from the contractor or getting callbacks from AHS, we started searching for a contractor on our own. We found one locally who said he would be there at 8 am Tuesday morning. He arrived right on time and within 30 minutes had the a/c up and running. It cost us $240 for this repair, but it was well worth it. We called AHS again to tell them to cancel the request and refund the $100 service fee. The rep we spoke to said he would look into it and let us know if he could cancel and refund. Guess what - still have not gotten a callback. We realize with this extreme heat all contractors are probably very busy, but they should be able to at least return a phone call. We are disappointed in AHS. They did not follow thru on any of our requests and basically left us hanging for 4 days with no A/C and the temp each day was over 100.

    AHS finally refunded my service fee which I very much appreciate. I just wish I hadn't been pushed to write a poor review. They really do need to do something about their customer service department. There needs to be a way to connect with them when there's an issue.

    Original Review: Aug. 18, 2020

    I would not recommend this company on the basis of poor customer service. There is no way to email them. When I call, the wait is over an hour. Several years ago a service call was canceled and I was assured that I would get credit. It never came so I ended up letting it go after several attempts and assurances from the company. (Yes, at that time I was actually able to speak to a representative!) Now it's happened again. The service tech determined that he was not able to fix our problem so he canceled the request. That was a week ago. Still no credit for that one and no way to get a hold of their "associates"/representatives. I've always been satisfied with the service techs and the ease or promptness of securing an appointment, but when I have a problem with AHS, there's no recourse so I feel I have no choice, but to write a bad review for them!

    I have had American Home Shield for many years. Up until recently, the service was pretty good. However, during the coronavirus, customer service has deteriorated greatly and it has become almost impossible to reach a representative on the phone or to get a problem escalated or resolved. I have been waiting since June 21, 2020 to have my microwave repaired. It is now August 18, 2020 and I have no update from AHS. The contractor does not respond and many calls and re-submissions of my claim to AHS has yielded no result.

    I have spent many hours waiting on hold trying to reach AHS. When I do get through, they say they will escalate the issue but no response has resulted. Almost 2 months now and no update or even a status from AHS. Every time I call customer service the wait time is well over an hour. They recently have taken away the option for them to return a call to keep you from waiting on the phone. In short, no response, no update and no return calls.

    While this may have started as an issue between AHS and one of their contractors, it has become an issue where a customer receives no service and no communication from AHS. Most people are not willing to wait for two months to get an appliance fixed. I cannot even claim that, as I don't even have a status or an update or even know if AHS knows they haven't responded. I believe that I may be better off cancelling AHS and saving my hard earned money to purchase a new appliance when it fails or simply call a repair company myself when needed.

    We have had American Home Shield since 2000. At first something would fail, pay the deductible and within 1 ~ 2 days it would be repaired or replaced. In the last 2 years, it's different. Call 'em up, pay the deductible, and maybe within 2 ~ 5 days it might get fixed. My current "open order" is for AC work. Started on 8/15 when I paid deductible. Supposed to get fixed 8/17. No one showed up. Grab the phone and give AHS a call. 10:35 AM ~ 12:28, then got hung up on. Again, called at 1:05 PM and I'm still on hold at 1:45 PM. They will take your money in a heartbeat.

    We took out a home warranty policy a few years ago and haven't had the need to use it until yesterday when our AC unit stopped working during a 115 degree heatwave in Phoenix. I filed a request and was informed that it would take 24 hours for a service call. When I tried to reach them to see if there was an emergency AC repair service that could come out I was placed on hold for an hour. When the agent finally came on, the connection was so poor and the agent spoke such broken English that I could not understand her. I asked her to call back which she never did. I put in another call and the same story over again. Finally I called a random company that I will end up paying for out of pocket. A home warranty company needs to be more accessible and be able to give options of companies to service a complaint, especially when the house is already 95 degrees and will increase as there are extreme heat advisories for our area.

    We've had this an American Home Shield home warranty since we bought our townhouse in October 2019. The good news is the seller included this in our purchase, the not so good news is I'm glad I didn't pay for it and will definitely not renew. The upside is if you have something break unexpectedly and you get lucky and they approve your repair, you'll come out ahead and save money.

    The downsides are they decline covering many more repairs then they approve, the contract is very confusing with lots of wiggle room to get them out of covering something, you pay $75 for them to come confirm a problem which they'll likely not cover (this just happened to us this week on a duct motor which I knew needed replacing), you wait a long time to get someone on the phone (20 minutes+ average) who can do little more than read what's covered in your contract, there's no possible way to email customer support (except for 'security' or 'privacy' issues, I looked long and hard, it's just not there), and for all this you pay $700+/year plus $75 per service call. If you're home and its systems and appliances are in pretty good shape, just find yourself good repair folks when you need them, you'll come out WAY ahead.

    The main breaker box in the house kept going off by themselves. That would put some parts of the house out of electricity. So I would have to go outside to the garage and turn it back on. I contacted American Home Shield about that and their agent was very good. The agent said that Kintz Electric was going to contact me within the next 24 hours in which they did. American Home Shield sent a text message with the information of the company and then the personnel from that company texted me too. I scheduled an appointment with them, which was four days later.

    The techs who came around were really knowledgeable. Apparently, I wasn't the first customer that had those problems with that particular brand of breaker box that the builders used. So they quickly identified it and then came up with a solution but they couldn't just do it themselves. They would have to figure out if American Home Shield would pay for it to get it fixed or if it should be the builders. So I'm still in between waiting right now to see exactly who's going to do what. I'm a new homeowner and I've had some other people that I’ve talked to and they said that American Home Shield is a great thing to have. We had a great experience with AHS and we really liked it.

    I tried to submit the claim for the AC on the phone but it was taking too long and so, my husband did it online. But the AC is running great now. We've had American Home Shield for years and it's a great service. The experience with them has been good but there's always room for improvement. We’ve had AC issues in the past and sometimes, I would prefer to have at least the same organization come back out to my property instead of having just random people elected. Because in the event that something happens, I don't wanna be liable. I'm paying $75 every time. A couple years ago, something had to be replaced but I could not tie it back because it was two different AC people coming out.

    This is the second time that Air Connection Mechanical came out and they did a better job than the first time. The first time, I had no AC. It was not cooling. The first guy came out and he was a very nice guy. He said that it just needed a booster. He put a booster on it and that was it. A week later, the air was not working. It would work every once in a while, then it wouldn't work. Finally, it broke again and I had to call American Home Shield to send them back out again and pay again for it.

    This time, they said what they needed to do and I had to pay $150 to $200 more in addition to the $100 that American Home Shield charged us for the other items that they said American Home Shield didn't cover. I don't know if it's true or not but I'm really disappointed. I thought the warranty covered a lot of things. A friend of mine recommended American Home Shield that's why I went ahead and did it but I don't think I'm ever gonna sign up again because I'm really not happy with it. When submitting a claim, you can never talk to somebody. It has to be automatic only by the machine.

    The previous owner of the house used American Home Shield and I just went with that. It's been good and submitting claims has been very easy and straightforward. I’ve had three people come out since I moved in and everyone has been timely and I was satisfied. Something with the water supply was shut off and North Bay came for the dishwasher. The tech was very prompt, resolved the issue efficiently, and I haven't had any problems since. He was also wearing a mask and we social distanced. I had had plumbers come out earlier for the disposal as well, and the issue might have been related.

    Southern Comfort had to come out three times before they got the AC fixed. It was obstructing the water back outside, so it kept cutting off. The overflow thing kept getting filled, so it would cut the air conditioner off. When the guy came out the first time, he said it was the Nest thermostat and it wasn't. When he came out the second time he said the overflow valve is setting the AC off. But then they had to wait to get approval for the parts from American Home Shield so it ended up being another week and a half. Then my girlfriend ended up calling Southern Comfort. They came and fixed it. We were without AC for almost a month. They did not wear masks and I told them for about four times to wear it.

    I've only used American Home Shield for the AC. It's very important for anybody that owns a home to have a home warranty company because it cuts down on how much you'd have to spend to get things fixed. It's definitely beneficial. I don't think any of this is American Home Shield's fault. I think it's the person that they issue out to do their work for them. Submitting claims was pretty easy. You can either call or go on the internet.

    The bad thing was, after I got AHS, I had a plumbing problem down in the basement. It clogged up my plumbing and I lost my furnace. At that time, I was covered by AHS but I didn’t know if the furnace was covered. So I had to have a new furnace and I had to pay for it. But I’m very satisfied and happy with AHS.

    Initially, I had experienced a complete loss of air conditioning. Shamanski came out very promptly and they gave me a charge of Freon. That seemed to hold me for a little while. Then about two weeks after their visit, I had the same situation occur. It wasn't Shamanski's nor American Home Shield's fault. There was a leak in the system that they did not know existed until the second time the situation presented. Shamanski came back, evaluated what the situation was, told me that I needed a part, and was very candid with me that because of COVID19, manufacturers of those parts were seriously backordered. They said that they would have Shamanski call me and talk about it, see what the possibilities were. They came back and said that indeed, those parts are backordered and they don't know when they would get them. It could be anywhere from two to three weeks before the part even comes in then they'd schedule.

    I got back to American Home Shield and told them that was not acceptable. We are in the middle of a pandemic and heatwave. My husband and I are both seniors and that extenuating heat situation is not one that we'd be able to tolerate well. They gave me the option to go outside of contract and do a cash-in-lieu of the repair, which I opted to do. I then went back to Shamanski and asked them to purchase a new AC system, condenser and the inside air handling system, which they did. They came back and installed that system within a week of my ordering it, which was amazing. Then I received a check from American Home Shield for the cash-in-lieu as we had discussed.

    However, I am very unhappy with the level of customer service that I received from American Home Shield. I understand that they can't be everywhere at all times and so they parse out customer service to international locations. I found it very difficult to communicate with several of those representatives. Their contextual language was poor. They got the general gist of what they needed to say, but they didn't understand the logic that I was putting forward.

    I work with international educators and leaders all around the globe and I've never in my life had a difficult time communicating with anyone from those regions or any other. This was different. The American Home Shield customer service people I dealt with were very difficult to understand. I consistently needed to escalate the issue to a manager and sometimes even then, it didn't help so that was problematic for me. As a result, I'm likely canceling that contract. I'm no longer going to use American Home Shield.

    Like very many other insurance companies, they're very happy to take your money and they're very reluctant to give you the service that you need when the time comes. You put in a claim and you cross your fingers, eyes, and toes that they're gonna honor it. I had another home warranty company when I first moved into this house in 2018 and they were no better. It's not a great experience. I'm not happy and I would not recommend them.

    I really liked the contractors that came for my AC unit. They were very nice and very informative. When I asked questions about what was happening, he took time to explain things to me. Then when my brother called, he took the time to take the telephone call from my brother and explain to him what was happening. He also had on a mask and coming in, he put on things over his feet. He finally got down to what the problem was. Apparently, there were two issues and one occurred, he said, when they replaced the Freon in the condenser so he fixed it and everything is working really good right now.

    However, I don't know if I will continue with American Home Shield when the contract ends. I explained to them when I called in, here in Nevada, we were having 110-degree weather and my mother has terminal cancer and I wasn't with air. But it still took over a week. I asked if they could expedite the part because they had to order the part, and I was told they don't expedite parts and it was gonna take a week to get it. So we were a week without air at 100 and some odd degrees when my mother is at her worst. Although in the past when I had to call AHS for an air conditioning problem, they took care of it right away. We had someone out here by the next day. Now this time, I'm not sure what the issue was and why it would take so long to get a part, and when I would ask to speak with a supervisor, no one would give me to a supervisor.

He then said that he would get the order put in and make sure that everything was good. He had it scheduled for Wednesday to be put in and that was pretty much it. They can't replace it until Wednesday. They had to get in a water heater for it. We're on limited water. It's leaking, but it's still holding a bit of water, enough to take a shower.

    I had another claim with the AC Doc to look at the AC. They came out, found a few things wrong and they thought they fixed it. But I paid a company myself to come out and look at it and they figured out that the bearings in the AC compressor were going out. They also found mold and dust inside my actual blower units, so they will change it out. I liked AC Doc. They tell you exactly how it is.

I've never had any complaints or issues with American Home Shield. I had to use them for my primary residence as well, for HVAC, and it took a couple of tries for their contractor to come out. But every time, whether I was working with AHS or the company that they sent out for this particular residence, everything was fine.

    Modern Mechanical did an excellent job. Because I've had problems with the AC unit before, I would always specifically ask for them because they do a great job. There was another company before 2019 where initially, because of the area, it defaulted to another company. Whoever it was who came, the technician from this other company showed my mother pictures of somebody else's unit and said that she needed a new unit.

    A/C Pros seemed to be very honest and they were timely. They replaced some refrigerant unit. Apparently, it was freezing up. When he turned it on, I could actually see it freezing. So they were very, very helpful. They also had masks and footwear on. It was very good. I'm due to renew with American Home Shield but I was seriously thinking of not renewing because I had trouble in the winter when it was 40 degrees. One of the furnaces went out and I waited four weeks for a part in 60 degree weather. I called each week. So when I had trouble with this, I had a different company come out and tell me what they thought was wrong. I paid for a burnt out capacitor on my own because if I waited four weeks before, I was probably gonna have to wait three or four weeks and I have kids and dogs in my home. So I couldn't take that chance. Something needs to be changed in how they obtain their parts or how they get their authorization.

    When the air conditioning went out, I thought that I better not wait for American Home Shield because I can't wait four weeks. It was 105 out here. I shouldn't have to feel that way about a warranty company. It was very, very questionable. When the people that came out here for the AC, he had the refrigerant, so there was no parts requested. I already had not trusted them. He replaced the capacitor for $400. But with the furnace, they had to order parts. American Home Shield needs to broaden the scope of vendors that they work with so that in the wintertime, we're not waiting four weeks for a furnace.

He looked at the toilet and said that it would have to be replaced. He then let me know when it would be replaced and came back when he said would replace it. The toilet has been good since. The plumber was really good. So I was happy.

    I've had them off and on and this is my first year for a while. I had a policy on this house when I first got in six years ago, and whenever I've had to use it, there's never been a problem. I'm glad if they could just fix it, but most of the time, they've replaced stuff. There was a time when Arno came out and they were great. The service was quick. The problem was there's no way to get through to American Home Shield. I couldn't get through either to arrange to see what the result was, and I would have to wait on the phone for two hours. That went on for about a week and I just started back to work. When I finally got the idea that I was gonna get a new appliance, I waited for three and a half hours after waiting for a couple of hours.

    To wait that long on the phone, I usually hang up after two hours 'cause I'm too angry. I can't even get online and do a chat like everybody else in the world does. There's no option. They said, "Do it on Facebook," so I did it on Facebook. It took seven days and it was like, "We wanna hear more about this," so I told them. What they then told me is too bad, so bad and that it's just how it is. It wasn't that rude, but there was nothing and I will never do anything with them again. I'm gonna cancel my contract as soon as I can stand to wait for two more hours, which is so sad because I have bought houses and had that warranty. I've sold houses and given that warranty as well, and in the past, I really liked their service.

    I had a very good response from American Home Shield in terms of fixing my bathroom faucet or the AC. Both, I'm happy with how they handled it. With the AC, it was not cooling and when the technician came in, he initially thought it was a capacitor issue. He fixed the capacitor and then it still was not working. He then figured out that it was the fan, which was rotating in the opposite direction. He said he had to fix the fan motor as well and he did. I'm so pleased with Home Shield. I bought a new home and it came with the home warranty. I have it for a year and I will definitely get it extended for the next year.

    American Home Shield's website works. I did a claim online on our air conditioner issue, and between 15 and 30 minutes, I started getting texts and emails saying somebody had been assigned and that company that was assigned the work order would contact me, and Air Dynasty A/C & Heating did. They came out twice. The first time, their guy put a capacitor in and the AC started running again. Now, I wasn't so happy five days later when it quit cooling again. What was happening was the compressor kept shutting down. It was overheating.

    On the second visit, he came out and said that the compressor was bad and I'm gonna need a new one. So at that point, I said, “Well, I don't know. I gotta think about it.” He then said, “I can send my manager out and he can tell you exactly what Home Shield’s gonna cover and what they're not.” So he came out, and we talked and all was said and done. I paid $8,000 for a complete new unit. I have no idea what American Home Shield paid out of that because all the guy ever said was, “This is it minus what American Home Shield’s gonna pay.” And I wanted AC. It’s hot here in Texas.

    I've had AHS for 10 plus years. In fact, I just paid my premium and it was $712. I'm retired, so I'm on a fixed income. That's a good chunk of change. My wife was saying, “Well, maybe we can find a company cheaper.” And I said, “I've had American Home Shield for a long time, and I've never been disappointed.” To me, that means a lot. The issue was the service company. If I had anything to do with American Home Shield, I probably wouldn't contract with them anymore. It’s water under the bridge to me but I wouldn't recommend them to anybody since that experience.

    There were three people who came and the last technician, who was from Optimum, fixed the problem. He was terrific. There was one electrical cable that was not functioning so, he changed it. He was very strict about keeping a mask to the face and then, he asked me also to wear the mask. He did everything good and we’re happy. American Home Shield should send this guy as their immediate technician. This service was fast and decent enough but the previous experience was horrible, which was the reason I disconnected that appliance insurance from my other house. They had an extremely poor service and they were irresponsible even in responding. So, when I got an appliance issue, I was scared that AHS may take another four months to fix the range because last time, they took almost four months. I had to go to Facebook and write a strong feedback. Then through Facebook, AHS contacted me and they took one more month to fix the issue.

    For four months, my tenants were using the bathroom without an exhaust fan. They got a lot of mold because of the moisture so, I got scared. The moment I got home, no range was repaired. I was thinking whether AHS was going to take four months to fix my range or I should go and buy a new range instead of calling them directly. I was in a bad situation. Fortunately, they responded quickly and fast enough, which was a big surprise for me. The pain that I went through for four months was unbearable and the impact and the additional money that I spent is a pain as well as the time and effort. I spent many hours for four months contacting American Home Shield. They got the current issue fixed fast enough but the wound still has not healed from the previous experience.

    It's so hard to get in touch with American Home Shield. You got to hold for hours. I've been with them for almost 10 years and it’s always been that way. Also, they need to update their system. They should give the option if it's multiple things. When I filed the claim online, it didn’t give me the option to choose both AC units. I have two in the house and when the guy came out, I told him which one was making a loud noise. He said it was the other one. I said okay and that they're not getting cold. So, he looked at the one that was making that loud noise and said that the compressor went out. In the midst of all that, he never looked at the second one. So, when he came back with the compressor, we told him and he said that I would have to call and file another claim. I said that I shouldn't have to and that I told him when he got here.

    The guy was nice and very professional. He knew his stuff because I've had some guys come out and they don't know jack. But I was a little irritated because when he came out, he was aware it was both units and he focused on the one. I had to call AHS back and I was furious because I didn't wanna have to keep paying $75. The air conditioner is not working. They addressed one but they didn't fix the other. The lady on the phone said that if I pay the $75, they would refund me the first one. I said okay. It didn't make sense but whatever they need to do to get their books right, I don't mind doing it. She said that they would refund me the money but I haven't gotten it yet. The technician came back out the very next day and the AC unit has been working great. If my air went out again, I would request him. Now, that it's all completed, I am very satisfied.

    If I have a problem that I feel is legitimate, then I put in a claim to American Home Shield. Somebody contacts me and I set up a thing. Then a person comes and checks it out. They say, “I've got to put it to American Home Shield.” Then there's a delay, and then they come and do the work. Sometimes, it solves the problem, and other times, it doesn't.

    In a case where a problem wasn't solved, I called American Home Shield and I complained bitterly. The equipment was not restored to the same condition, and we had a big fight about it. I had an air conditioning problem, and they came, and they did what they decided they were gonna do. I have the air conditioning on or the heat on, or I could run the fan. That would be three settings. And after the work was done, I only had heat or air conditioning, but I couldn't run the fan. My position was that's not the condition in which it was in under and it should be put back in the condition it was in. American Home Shield’s position was that to put it back in the original condition would require running a wire and it would cost me $800 to run the wire. They don't run wire because that would be improving the existing equipment. My position was two settings are not three settings, so I think I had a pretty good position.

    The AC guy said he'd run the wire for about $800. So, I called my brother-in-law, and he ran the wire in 15 minutes. I wasn't too impressed with that claim but on other things, American Home Shield has been really great on. The plumber from Plumbing Expresso was awesome. He wore a mask. He wore shoes. He cleaned up after himself.

    With regard to many of the things in the house, American Home Shield has done fine, business-wise, but I had certainly benefited to their detriment in all of the air conditioning stuff that I've had repaired. The guys who have done that have always been really great companies. American Home Shield is a legitimate company, and I've benefited from it. One criticism I had is when I get a workman that I'm particularly pleased with and I need more work done which is under warranty, I can't choose the company.

    There’s no facility on the website. So, if you get some electrician or someone that's doing some work which is under warranty and you really liked their work, and you get another problem which is covered under warranty, there's no mechanism to say, “I want that guy again.” I understand why I can't do it, but I wish I could sometimes. I had an AC guy that came. That company got the contract several times, and so they kept sending the same guy. I had the same guy for about three calls. He did super work and he was super nice, and I was really happy that I got him as many times as I did.

So, we were scheduled before I even talked to American Home Shield. Advanced Comfort seemed knowledgeable and they were quick. They had to come out a couple of times but that was not their fault. At the end of the day, it ended up being not an AC issue but a breaker issue. So, they were good. Also, when the technician came, he kept the distance and wore a mask. He acknowledged everything ahead of time.

    I got more issues with AHS than I do with the contractors. I've continually had to stay on hold for very long periods of time. I wanted to get the house rekeyed and I still haven’t heard anything. I also put in a ticket for the dishwasher and it took five days before I got a call from the contractor. By then, I had fixed it myself. So, I have to get back on the phone with AHS tomorrow to get refunded for the money or the service payment that I paid them already. I've had them since I moved into the house last August 4 but I had them when we bought our house in 2016 and I've never been that thrilled with home warranty companies.

The biggest problem I've had is getting through to them. If I have a repair, I can do that online and they respond right away. But if I have to talk to representatives, the wait time is at least two to three hours.

    I had a dryer claim that the contractor couldn't fix so I had to call in to get it replaced. But because of the COVID, they don't have enough help. The first time, I was on the phone for over five hours waiting for them to answer. Once they finally answered, they couldn't get the dryer they showed that I wanted. I had to wait a week and when I called back, I was on the phone twice that day for five hours. I got disconnected with the first person that answered and they tried to call me back, but I don't know if something went wrong. Then, I had to be on the phone for another five hours but the order for the next dryer I wanted finally got placed and we got it within a week.

    The frustration I had was getting somebody to answer and it's not just me. The person that was trying to replace it had to wait forever to get an approval. But it was fine with the contractor. The installation was done within 10 minutes. They hooked it up, plugged it in, made sure it's working and they left. It's been about two weeks now and so far, the unit has been great.

    I was a customer for one year and when my contract renewed, I was charged a higher premium without notice. I called one week after the contract renewed and asked to cancel because I did not want to pay 50% more for the same warranty and it was not in my budget. I made it clear that it was not in my budget. I was told I could drop the appliance portion of the warranty and only keep the major systems for the same price as I was paying the previous year. Ok.

    I don't get a bill the next month and figured it was cancelled. No bill (and no claims for the past 3 months). I call several times and a supervisor agrees to call me back because he says his notes say I'm still with the higher premium even though I don't have the appliance warranty and I am not being charged. He can't figure it out. Says he'll call back Monday, nothing. I call back three times and the hold is time is over an hour. I am hung up on after being transferred once and the time I finally do get through I decide I just want confirmation that it has been cancelled.

    After an hour and half, I am told by a second representative that she has cancelled my account and I owe over a hundred dollars 'administrative fee'. I dispute it and she states that her notes state I called to cancel but the rep waived my fee for a couple of months and I will be charged for those months. I told her I did not even receive confirmation that I was renewing, paying a new rate, or owed anything AND had not made a claim because I thought it was cancelled. She said I had to pay cause she had already cancelled the contract. Wow. It is fraudulent to keep customers in the dark, not provide them with notice or billing statements and then charge their bank accounts. I am extremely dissatisfied.

    In the almost 2 years I have had this home warranty, I have only had 2 service request. 1 went extremely well. Quick easy fix, good contractor to represent AHS. July 9th, 2020, I placed a repair for my refrigerator. 3 appointments later it still has not been fixed, I have been disconnected, hung up on, placed on call back - call backed and then hung up on numbers of times by AHS when calling in. The choice of refrigerator repair companies that they are choosing to represent them is less than undesirable and actually embarrassing.

    It is August 17th and still am not able to purchase food to put in the refrigerator nor keep my medication refrigerated. On hold for the 5th time today and looking forward to having them give me some lame excuse for the lack of professionalism and capability to get this refrigerator repaired. Choose wisely folks. On the 4th attempt to get refrigerator repaired or replaced you would think they would be calling me...NOPE! This is truly awful.

    For 11 weeks I have been calling weekly, my appliances are still not repaired, every time I call I hold for an hour, and then I’m told the same thing, "We will reach out to the company who is suppose to repair your appliances," every time they say they will update me, never do I hear anything back, I have emailed customer service. Have heard nothing back, request to speak with Management. Hear nothing back. Once I was told I could pay another $100 to send another company out! Why would I have to spend more money when the first company you sent has yet to do their job?

    Oh and of course there’s always a catch to a warranty, everything in my newly purchased home needs repairs, our realtor assured us we could get this warranty and have things repaired rather than negotiate with sellers. Stove knobs are broken, but is not covered due to not normal wear and tear and they don’t cover preexisting damage! Fridge is still broken, supposedly this will be repaired, but I’m still waiting!

    My experience to date is terrible. This is the second time Ref. is out of service and a two day wait is required for a service call. Customers pay a monthly fee and a service fee and expect to receive customer service in a timely manner. If the Ref. can not be repaired I am told that at least three days are needed so that ANOTHER dept. will contact me. So now it takes around five days to correct this problem. This is not the Customer Service I would be proud of as a company providing warranties.

    There was a leak on our refrigerator line where the ice machine was connected and my husband dealt with United Air Temp when they came out. He normally takes care of submitting claims with AHS. But I have done it before and it's a very easy process. All of my experiences have always been positive. If they couldn't resolve it, they'd replaced it.

    Submitting a claim with AHS was really easy and I felt that I could do that again. It wasn't time-consuming at all. I can also do my request online. I submitted a claim because the garage wouldn't let up and let down. The button to open the garage wouldn't work, and then we couldn't use the remote to open the garage. The contractors came early morning, 'cause most of the time when people say it's between 9:00 and this, it'd be at the latter end of that. But they came early enough and it was good. I liked the time frame that they arrived and they finished. I was still able to make it to work. They were professional and did what they had to do. I didn't hear anything and there was no mess. It worked perfectly. The people so far that AHS uses reply right away. I didn't have to wait. So, I would recommend Amerian Home Shield. I was really satisfied.

    I submitted a claim with Home Shield online and it was pretty seamless and easy. Mountain Heating & Cooling came out for my heating and they showed up on time. They found that the start capacitor failed. The tech had the part on the truck and fixed the problem right away. The heating has been working fine so far. But one thing the guy told me is that if I required a Freon service, the Freon right now is around anywhere from $80 to $100 a pound and Home Shield only reimburses $10 a pound. Home Shield needs to bring that up to current pricing.

    RG plumbing was great. They called back immediately and scheduled an appointment. They were on time and fixed the problem. There was something in the disposal that they had to clear out and everything went perfectly. Also, they had masks on. The experience with American Home Shield has been inconsistent. It's been a while but we had a situation that took forever to get finally taken care of. This one happened to be great. We had a problem when we submitted the claim though. Their system was down and so we couldn't get into their system online but it eventually came back up and we were able to do it. Calling in was a six-hour wait so that wasn't gonna work.
