    When I make claims to American Home Shield, I call it in or go online. It takes two seconds. They will call the contractor, and the contractor comes and does their work. A plug needed to be fixed and after the repair was done, it has been working perfectly. I would recommend the technician to anybody that has electrical problems. He was great and the experience was the easiest one I’ve ever had.

    I called Home Shield's number and told the lady I needed to get the locks rekeyed on the house. We paid a deductible and then I got a text message saying the person the job was contracted to and that they would contact me. It was supposed to be 24 to 48 hours but I didn't hear anything on the second day so I texted the company. I wanted to make sure that we were tracking to get the locks down on the house. From that point, it was fine. They came out and did the locks. The tech was nice and professional. He was in and out in 15 minutes. If we have to use Home Shield for anything else, hopefully, it goes as good as it did this time. It was pretty straightforward.

    I submitted the claim online to AHS and the website was friendly. I got a text and I got an email also. The service provided by the contractor was fine. He showed up when he said he was gonna show up and did what he was supposed to do. The contractor checked the electricity to see that there wasn't anything wrong with the electricity going to the lights. However, I'm not sure I wanna keep continuing to use AHS. So far, the two times I've used it, it's not paying for itself. That's just a thought that's been going through my mind is, "Maybe I should just not use it at all. Nothing that they're doing. It's just not sure that it's worth my money."

    JML Heating was fantastic. This is the first time we've used American Home Shield and this is the first job the contractor has done for them. His wife is the receptionist and she was very sweet and made a special appointment to come out and get the job done. One of us has COPD so it's hard for one to breathe when it’s hot. He came out and it took him five minutes to diagnose what the issue was and get it fixed. The guy was so nice and he went through everything as well. We would definitely recommend them to anybody.

    I had a problem with the washer, and American Home Shield first sent out Atlas. In the month of June, Atlas put parts in the washer. Then AHS sent out Exclusive Appliance who put parts in the washer as well. After each one of those incidents, the problem still existed. Then AHS sent out Fort Bend Appliance Repair. What their guy said was that they put in parts without replacing the seals and things. He said that when they put in those parts, they jammed them in over existing stuff, which caused it not to work. So, the washer was still acting up after both Exclusive and Atlas.

    After Atlas came out, and I called American Home Shield for repair, they assigned Exclusive. I was very upset because I expected Atlas to come back out again. As a matter of fact, Atlas called me to reschedule. They called me maybe a week afterwards, which is not like them. When they were servicing the machine, they would call me probably the same day that they got a notice from American Home Shield. But about a week afterwards, they called and I told them, "American Home Shield assigned another company. I even called American Home Shield regarding the reassignment because I was surprised that they did that." At the time, the claim was for the refrigerator and the washer. When AHS reassigned Exclusive, they left the refrigerator with Atlas. So, I was confused myself and I called them about the assignment. I did call them because I was perplexed that they had made the re-assignment.

    As for Fort Bend, the gentleman's overall posture was such that I assumed he was the owner. I asked him if he was the owner, and he said he was. He was very polite and very professional. With COVID, I decided to ask the contractors to just come to the back of my house where the laundry room is rather than go all the way through my house, which had been the case, and he was very accommodating.

    He said he didn't have any information on what had transpired with the washer prior. From what I could tell, he turned the washer up to look under the bottom of it. That was when he said he saw that they had put in new parts, but they had not replaced some of the other stuff that should have been replaced. Exclusive had told me when they came out that in order to fix the washer, it would require a total rebuild of the washer. I was surprised that when he came back, he did the work so fast. He had told me before that with the work that was needed, it needed to be totally taken apart.

    Also, when they sent a senior person out with Exclusive, I didn't like the person. He was the owner. I told him that not only was the machine leaking, but it was making a lot of noise when it washed. I said, "This Whirlpool is supposed to be a quiet washer. You can barely hear it." I also told him it makes a lot of noise when it's draining. He said, "Well, that's the way they are." I said, "Sir, I have had this washer for 14 years. This washer does not make noise when it drains through the drain." He must have told me at least three times that that was the case. I didn't care for Exclusive.

    I have to give credibility to the fact that I actually assumed that American Home Shield was checking up on its vendors. They paid for parts for Atlas, and then they still had trouble with the machine. So they decided they weren't gonna send Atlas. I've been in business myself, so I know how that works. American Home Shield was doing what they had to do, in my opinion, because they were spending money and it wasn't working, and they needed to find out what was going on.

    For my part, I was highly inconvenienced because of the number of calls that I had to have. But in the end, American Home Shield did what they had to do for me. They had to do what they had to do for their business as well. One of the things that I've noticed with American Home Shield is they try to send out really good contractors. It takes a lot to do that, so I just thought they were checking up on their contractors to see whether or not they were doing the quality of work that is expected of them. Overall, I'm happy with American Home Shield.

    I had items repaired through American Home Shield. The last thing I had fixed was my air conditioning unit. The one that came and serviced my place was fine, but the one before that was terrible. The gentleman that was here the first time was for my dryer. His attitude was really nasty. When I came to open my door for him, he told me I needed to move out of the way. His whole demeanor and attitude were really funky. So, he did what he was supposed to do. All this stuff had gotten all over the place, and he just kinda left. He didn’t leave me any receipt or paperwork. I just happened to go back to the door. He was getting in his truck. I said, “Sir, aren’t you gonna let me know what it is I need to do?”

    He didn’t tell me what I needed to be getting when I go to Home Depot and he didn't let me know whether he'd be the one that would be coming back to fix it. I was thinking they keep that kinda stuff on their truck when they come and service people's homes. I wasn't realizing that I had to go purchase the piece. That was the case when I called in the order. They should’ve told me that, and I could’ve had it ready when he got here.

    I had to go to Home Depot. So, when I came back, I called the man and see if he could put it on. He said, “All you gotta do is snap it on there.” I said, “You know what, since you're here, go ahead. You do it. I don't know how.” Then he just left that mess and all that kinda stuff all over the place. I called back to complain on him. I didn't like his services. Other than that, when I called for my air conditioner, the gentleman rearranged his schedule to make it more convenient for me because I had to go to work. He was very nice, pleasant and professional, and he did what he was supposed to have been doing. He knew what he was doing.

    The blower motor on our AC quit working and it didn’t blow any air. It took the tech from A & R Complete Service three days to come out. When it's 110 degrees, that's a little slow. It could’ve been a little bit faster. Other than that, their communication and professionalism were good. He had the mask on and he fixed our AC. So, it's working. It is really hard to reach American Home Shield on the phone if you have a question. I tried and tried and the wait was 40 minutes to an hour. That’s going on two or three times now.

    I had two calls with South Placer. One was at the house and the other one was at an apartment complex that they had to work on also. The tech fixed us up at the house really well. So I asked for him for the apartment complex as well and they could get them there. He did a good job. It seems to be working well. We also had a call on an oven and the first guy that came over did not take virus precautions and my wife went bananas on that one.

    When we call AHS, it takes hours to get anyone on the phone. The only way to do anything is on the computer. It was not that easy to cancel things because with this air conditioner. At first, the contractor came out and they said the issue was a switch, the circuit breaker. Then the AC guy said he couldn't work on that. So we had to switch to an electrician. The electrician came out and he said I just need to throw it. It was a little hard to do. I couldn't do it myself. I didn't know you could push it that hard so he showed me. But then we had to go back to the AC guy. I had to pay $100 each time they came out and getting someone to talk to was horrible. My wife was on hold for four or five hours at one point and she just hung up. AHS is very good for getting stuff done but they are very bad for communication.

    American Home Shield has done everything that we've needed from them. We've paid more to them than what we've gotten out of them but the policy helps. Recently, there was a leak at the bottom of the garbage disposal and this is one of the times where I would not have a complaint at all about how the claim was handled. This was a very smooth experience. The biggest problem with submitting the claim is the gap from the time the claim is submitted to usually when you get a call or when you can get an appointment. I have a friend of mine who had a plumbing issue the same week I did. He wanted to refuse the plumbing company and American Home Shield wouldn't allow him to do that. We don't have a lot of choices.

    Steinmetz always does a good job of diagnosing and repairing. The issue was not so much with them but with the equipment. The compressor was starting so hard. It made a horrific noise and was shifting the entire condenser unit. It moved at about a foot at the very last phase of this thing going out. Twice, it literally loosened and ripped one bolt right out of the frame. There was another company that came out and the rep was telling me there was nothing wrong with the AC. I've never heard of an air conditioning unit that starts the way this one does.

    The AC was about a year old and the first year was perfect. It ran smoothly and when it started, you didn't even know it was coming on. On the second year, it just went pop. So, they brought out another unit with the same brand model. I told the technician when he came out to diagnose it. I was willing to pay an upcharge for a different brand unit. I just don't want a repeat of this same issue. There must be some issue with Goodman. I don't know what it is but my expectation is if it continues like this, it'll break eventually.

    I was looking at a different company this morning. American Home Shield has been good and I understand that it’s a business and they’re gonna have to make money. Also, I don't know the relationship between American Home Shield and the companies they hire, and what the instructions are with those companies. But they will nurse things along as much as they can. It is understandable but sometimes, it's frustrating to the homeowner when that occurs. I've been in the repair/construction business my entire life and my approach has always been good quality.

    Good craftsmanship just endears customers to you but if you put in quality equipment and do a quality job with quality materials that last, that word of mouth is like gold. So, they should put in quality equipment. There will be no issues and the company would eventually reap the reward of doing it right the first time instead of Mickey Mousing around with low end stuff. People should consider advertisements if they're looking into home warranties because there’s a lot of hype in it. So, it all looks good and shiny on the front end but you don’t take note of the small print stuff until you're faced with it. I'm not totally dissatisfied with AHS. They’ve come out and repaired things and it's been okay. But this AC thing has been a sour grape for me. It's hard to be objective sometimes and my subjectivity is probably based on this AC issue.

    The faucet was broken and the garbage disposal was leaking and needed to be replaced. The guy from Accent Plumbing did a great job. He had the parts to fix the problem and he did it. He was in and out quickly, and everything seems to be working fine. But in the beginning of this claim, I was extremely dissatisfied because the first plumber that they sent out just looked at it and said that he didn't think there was a problem. He said that he would get back to me and he never did. There was no communication and so, I contacted American Home Shield again and let them know what was going on. They wanted to send the same guy out but I didn't want him coming out. So, they arranged for this other plumber and in the interim, the second problem came up. The leak under the sink with the disposal. So then, we had two problems.

    I mentioned to AHS that it was inappropriate that they were charging me twice especially since the first thing that they charged me for didn't happen and that was a whole lot of back and forth. Getting that figured out was a lot of aggravation but in the end, AHS agreed that it should be a single claim. They refunded the original charge of $75. So once that was cleared up, I was very happy with the coverage and how it was handled, how quickly it was done and the service that the technician provided. In the end, I was very satisfied. Once they got it cleared up, I was totally fine. I’m curious though that I just renewed with American Home Shield and they charged me $692 for the renewal. If I were to go online and do this as a new customer, it was $100 less. I tried calling several times and I wound up on hold for a ridiculous amount of time. Then, I had to hang up because I've got to get on with the other things I'm doing.

    My refrigerator wasn't working in January and I put in the claim. The contractor came out and said it was fixed. But the same problem happened intermittently and then it got worse. I put in another claim in July. The contractor came and said they had to order parts. I had to wait. They said it was fixed but it wasn't. Kept happening. I called American Home Shield and they sent another company out. They said that the first company might not had known what they were doing. It didn't make me feel very good.

    I spent my money on paying another person to come out. The person they sent said he needed to order more parts so I called the American Home Shield back. They said that they would have to wait and see what happens. I still haven't heard anything and I haven't had a working fridge since July. It works, but my food goes bad quickly and the ice maker is totally broken. I'm looking at fridges now and I have to buy a new one because I can't just have no fridge for months, and it's getting increasingly worse.

    The issue is I wait two hours to talk to somebody, to get through on the phone. When I get on the phone, I usually get someone that just repeats what I'm saying and they just read from a script so that's not helpful. Then from there, they say that I have to wait but I don't know what I'm waiting for. AHS needs to better train their people to deal with their consumers' needs. They also need to be more attentive. A refrigerator is a big deal. I shouldn't have waited almost two months and not have a working refrigerator.

    With this situation, I'm very dissatisfied with them as a whole. But some of the contractors who’ve been out have been good. The plumber and the HVAC were great. It depends on who they send because some contractors are awesome, some are horrible, and AHS has been horrible with dealing with this. If it goes well and I have no complaints, they're fine. But if I have a complaint, they don't help. I put in a complaint to the Better Business Bureau on the 17th and they haven't even answered and acknowledged it yet. When I spoke to someone on the phone, they told me I couldn't talk to anybody else or to a supervisor. That was the highest that I could get. I put names so they were clear on who I spoke to.

    We had a guy come out and look at our microwave. There weren't any parts that could be replaced in it so the whole microwave had to go. We were waiting for AHS to call us, and then we didn't hear anything for a couple of weeks. Then we tried calling and then that was when all the problems started happening with them trying to take forever to respond. We were on hold for five-plus hours to get ahold of the microwave people, get the microwave delivered out and find everything out. To get through to somebody, the answering machine would say that the wait time would be three hours or more. I was on the phone for four hours. Then my wife and my father were on hold forever. I never got through to anybody. My father did because he was driving back from Florida and had a six-hour drive. He said that he listened to that music the whole drive.

    We tried to understand that due to COVID and stuff, some people were probably working at home and they were probably busy doing something else. But nobody is gonna wait for three hours on the phone, even two. But we had no other choice. It was very frustrating. Other than that, everything else with American Home Shield was fine. We had someone out to fix our dishwasher. Then our AC was fixed within a day and a half, which was perfect 'cause AC issues in South Carolina was a big no-no. It's the hottest state. But the customer service part was not really the greatest on our microwave claim. My parents were going through trouble with their dishwasher as well.

    I have a double door freezer refrigerator, and the freezer side wasn't staying cold. I called American Home Shield and then they sent a guy out. A fan was bad and he said he would have to order the part and he did. That took a week and then he came and repaired it. The fan was then making a bit of noise. I could hear it running and I called him back. The contractor themselves at Proficient Appliance were hard to get in touch with. They had an answering machine and they never returned my phone call or answered my text, so I called American Home Shield again. They said, "Well, we'll send them back out," which they did at no charge. He repaired that and that has been several weeks ago. There have been no problems since then.

    From my experience, it appears that American Home Shield is a really good deal. They cover all your appliances for 60 bucks a month. I paid the 100 bucks service charge and they came and worked on my AC twice. Once, I've replaced a motor. The refrigerator, they fixed as well. The guy that fixed it was very nice and he seemed very knowledgeable.

    The Polaris pool pump was spraying water all over and I couldn't run my pool because water was spraying out of the pumps. I went online to submit a claim with AHS and when their website worked, it was fine. But it took several tries to finally log on and it was really a very bulky thing. It didn't load your information multiple times and it took almost a day and a half to get through. Then, they let me know that the contractor would be out within 24 hours. The fellow from Breakthrough Pools who came out was pleasant and said it was not the first time that he saw that situation. He also had the part since I told them when they called what the problem was and since the repair, everything has been fine.

    Other than that, I've recently dropped American Home Shield because they didn't carry through with anything. I had an air conditioning unit and they brought a technician out. The guy screwed around with it then all of a sudden, we had a big venting and all my Freon was vented into the air. He said he was not sure why that happened and that he thought it was my compressor. But now, all the Freon was in the unit and it was almost $1,000 worth of Freon. The guy noted it and said that he couldn't do anything about it until I put in a request to American Home Shield. He also told me that it would take a week or two because that's how long they're taking these days.

    But it was 100 degrees in northern Texas and I couldn't wait, so I had to tear out the air conditioning unit and replace it. American Home Shield contacted me about a week and a half later and said that they'd buy me out. I asked how much I would get and they said $250. I was flabbergasted. They'd give me $250 against the $7,000 replacement. Then they said that if I followed these forms and fax, they'd give me the $250 within seven days. But that was a month and a half ago and I still haven't gotten it. So when it came time to renew, I told them that I'd go with a higher rated guy, which was Amazon Home Warranty. They have a lower price for the same coverage and has a better rating. Also, even if they weren't cheaper, I would go with them anyways since going without air conditioning for a couple of weeks waiting for American Home Shield to do something sucked because you couldn't get a human being.

    My AC was leaking because the coils were frozen. It leaked quite a bit into my floor and everything. Qualified Service Systems was sent out. The first technician was very congenial and knowledgeable. He went around the back, which was so nice of him to do rather than trekking through the house. He answered my questions. He came the first day but because the coils were frozen, they had to thaw out. He said I had to turn the unit off.

    A different technician came the following day and he actually fixed the unit. He was able to do so since it was already thawed out. He was able to find out exactly what was wrong with it. He was very helpful, informative, and did his job very professionally. Apparently, I have a small leak somewhere in the back and the gentleman couldn't tell me exactly where it was. It could be underground and that was something that he wouldn't be able to take care of. But the unit needed to have Freon so he put Freon in there. I had to do the same thing last year. It's developing into a yearly thing. But the tech took care of it and the AC is running fine so the problem got fixed. And at least I know to look out for it.

    I am very satisfied with American Home Shield. I had a washing machine totally blow out on me and the cost of repairing it would have been more than the cost of getting a new one. They got me a new washing machine and this one now has a stainless steel barrel. The other one didn't. The quality of the washer is of the same category and the same cost but it's actually better than what I had before. The only one that I didn't do with American Home Shield was replacing a hot water heater. It was gonna be extremely expensive to replace the whole thing and it was gonna be a lot of out-of-pocket that I thought was too much. I opted out of it but the home warranty really paid me back for everything I spent.

They would come out and replace something else. It would get cold and would work for six months then we would go through that again.

We've had people out to fix this refrigerator 20 times and it’s always the same thing. It's terrible. I've never had a worst appliance.

    But American Home Shield is nice and I'm satisfied. It's not their fault. They didn’t build the refrigerator. They send someone out and fix it but the refrigerator really needs to be replaced ‘cause it is a lemon. I had tried to get the factory to replace it and we've talked to American Home Shield about replacing it. About once every six, eight months, their contractor comes out. But the contractor is very nice too. A guy was there today to come out and try to fix it but it didn't work. To this day, it's not working. They're ordering parts again and will come back another week.

    It's really simple to get a repair set up. You just put in on the AHS website what you have troubles with and you just go in. AHS makes up a case and then the very next day they tell you who's gonna come out and see you. That company contacts us and makes up a time when they can come out. But it's different when they're doing the work. American Home Shield is getting companies from everywhere and everybody is different. Some do great work and then you're not sure about some. If they say that they're coming, they need to come.

    The last guy we had for the garage door was wonderful. Our garage door wouldn't work and the guy came on time. He fixed it and did a great job. The garage door is working beautifully now. So I was happy that him. But my experience with one before him to help us with our furnace was a struggle and he frustrated the hell out of me. He was an older gentleman. He was really scared because there was a lot of rain so he called me at the last minute and wanted to cancel out. We had a lot of rain in our area but it ended. We were trying to get our cooler working. If you're gonna do it, you gotta be able to handle what was going on. Then he told me that he was gonna come back ‘cause he wasn't done and then he didn't finish right. I'm done with American Home Shield and I'm not gonna renew.

    Our recent claim with AHS was for a garbage disposal. It wasn't coming on. We got up one morning, it worked and then it just started giving a humming sound every time we turned on the switch. The claim experience was great. I've never had a problem with the contractor, Myers. They have done work for my home before. I like them.

    However, I also had a claim for my washing machine. My experience with American Home Shield this past time was not so great. I was a little disappointed because I sat at home all day waiting for a technician to come out for the washing machine. Nobody ever came or called. I called American Home Shield. They told me they would call me back the next day. I never got a call back letting me know what happened.

    I had to call two days later to see what was the problem. They had no problem with pulling the $75 out of the account immediately. In the end, the rep was like, “I can't offer you anything. I can't do anything for you.” I had to take off work to get the product fixed. I felt like at least they could compensate for some type of way because it wasn't my fault that the person that they chose to do the repairs did not show up. So I wasn't happy with that.

    GE Appliances came out the first time and I paid them $100. Then the tech said that he was gonna have to order a part and that it might take a little bit because they've been on backorder due to everything going on. Once we got the part, he told me to give GE a call back to schedule a time for them to come out. We got the part and I called to set up an appointment for them to come back. We had another technician come out for him to tell us that they were still waiting on a part, which I did not know of. He said that we should be getting that part by the end of the day. My husband asked for a tracking number of some sort. He said he did not have that, but that we should be receiving it.

    We ended up receiving a second part and I called to set up another appointment for them to come out. When I called last week, I spoke with a lady and she said they were still waiting on another part. I told her that the GE technician said we should only be waiting on one more part. She said, "No, I show you should have a total of three parts and it should be delivered today," which was the same day that I'd already gotten the other part. She told me to call back whenever we got the part. This was last Friday and we still haven't gotten the part.

    The lady called me back from American Home Shield and was wanting me to change my time because she had a scheduled time for a GE technician to come out today. I told her that was weird because they said we were waiting on another part, and I haven't put in anything for anyone to come out. She said it showed that we received all the parts, which I knew we had, even though they were telling me that we hadn't received all of our parts. Then she said that a GE technician wasn't available today. But then she said that they would have a technician come out between 8:00 to 5:00 tomorrow. So I was expecting them to come out tomorrow. So that is where we are at right now.

    When I first did the claim, I sent the ticket online. The second time, I called American Home Shield. The lady that I spoke with called GE herself and set up for the technician to come out. The third time that I called them directly last week. Overall, my experience with American Home Shield has been pleasant so far. But I personally have not been very happy with the service that I've gotten from GE over the phone. It's been a real mess. It was really unprofessional and kind of all over the place a little bit.

    Our upstairs air conditioning went out so I submitted an online claim with Home Shield. When you call them, you have to wait forever to finally be able to talk to somebody and a lot of times, you have to have them call you back because the wait is so long. The website was very easy to use and within 24 hours, they said that M&Holmes should be calling to schedule an appointment.

    The year prior, we had the downstairs air conditioning replaced and we had no out of pocket costs so when I had a $1,800 bill, I questioned it. We have a concrete walk outside and the contractor from last year didn't put what they call a pad down. They said that it wasn't required because it already sits on concrete. But M&Holmes said they require a pad and I questioned if it was a city or local code that requires it. They said they require it and I asked why was I paying for something that they're requiring and not by city or state local code.

    I called Home Shield and all they did is call the contractor again and they told me the same thing. I ended up sucking the cost because I would have to get a second opinion and they may or may not say that say it's required or they have to order the parts again. And we had already gone all summer without an AC upstairs. I paid the $1,800 cost which was like a switch outside, the pan for the upstairs attic space, the evaporator, and some $700 for a ventilation duct modifications. At the end of it, it works great but I still question why I had to pay for a pad.

    AHS has pretty quick responses. My initial complaint was with the dishwasher leaking water out of the bottom. The tech advised us to relocate our drain hose under the sink. So we did that and he closed it and took it out. But a week later, it happened again after the initial fix that he told us to do. So he came back out and discovered that the drying agent reservoir was leaking into the dishwasher constantly, creating a lot of foam. He came in the other day and replaced that and we haven't had any issues yet. The tech was knowledgeable and approachable. He explained everything as he went through. He helped my wife and myself to understand what the problem was. He also had a mask on.

    The air conditioners were not functioning. I reported the issue through American Home Shield's website. I created a ticket online. It's easy to navigate their website and report the issues. At the same time the air conditioners went out, it ended up that storm came through and knocked the power out. So when the contracting company called to come, I said, "Well, our power's out. So it won't be restored 'til the weekend. So if I can reschedule it for Monday of the next week, that would be good." Instead of doing that, they canceled the whole thing. I had to call American Home Shield and then I had to resubmit another ticket. I wasn't charged another $100 but I had to go through and re-set up an appointment and had to wait another whole week. We were over two weeks with no AC in here. When a contractor finally came, he diagnosed the problem quickly and corrected the issue in a timely manner. That repair helped and alleviated the issue.

    Overall, we have had some contractors that have come out for a few issues that did not fix the issue and were not easy to work with. I had someone come out for a furnace issue, and they didn't fix the issue. They change a bunch of parts that didn't need fixing because it didn't correct the issue at all. I had to have another company come out and address the issue because we had no heat in the house. And certainly, AHS wouldn't reimburse me for that. So I didn't have an issue there that I was not happy with at all. But the thing is if there is a contractor that's not well-servicing and I have another furnace issue, I don't have the ability to change to a different contractor. If I call AHS up and say, "We've had them out before, they did not fix the issue, I really don't want them to come out and look at it again," American Home Shield's unwilling to give you a different contractor. It seems I'm stuck with whatever they give me.

    They were pretty quick about getting somebody out and getting the issue taken care of. The company came out and looked at my heating and air condition. The tech looked at my system and he checked it all out. We determined that what all he said wrong. It was something simple and he fixed it pretty quick that day. It's been working good.

    I had a problem with my faucet and when the contractor came out the first time, they weren't able to fix it. They had to order the faucet and then when it came, they told me to call them back. So I called them back and they came out today and fixed it. Also, they had on the PPE, so they were fine. Filing the claim was easy. It was a good experience. I'm just still upset about the fact that I have to get my floorboard replaced, but otherwise, it was a good experience with the scheduling.

    American Home Shield is great. You tell them the problem that you have and then, they'll send somebody out. You pay your deductible and they take care of it. The process is simple and they make it clear. It works out good. The AC leaked every place and it blocked itself off. Then it was on the ceiling, broke all of that popcorn stuff and took it all down. It was all wet. Somebody came out quickly and contacted me fast. The fellow took a look at it, put a new drain in and then charged me $100 for some piece that goes in it. Now, when it overflows or if it gets close to it, it'll cut itself off. People should get this warranty.

    Royal Flush AC & Heating was sent out for a claim I made. I sent it as an emergency and they were out a little bit more than 24 hours. I was excited because it was the weekend. The weekend is easier to manage. If it had been during the week, I would have been disappointed. They were on time and they fixed the AC. Initially, they were thinking nothing was happening because when they arrived the unit was working fine and they were saying that everything looked to be okay. But I insisted no because it was not working. They checked and everything was good again. But when they closed and put the part together, the unit wasn't working. We were lucky that it failed on them as well. They then had to review and find the issue.

    American Home Shield's service is getting better. Before, I had to be on the call for maybe two hours just waiting. But now there is an option to cancel the service requests and there is an option to select the service provider. That’s reducing the time that I spent on the phone if I report an issue. Before, it was a pain just to create a report and if I wanna cancel it because I want a different provider, that was impossible. Another thing I don't like is having to wait for a part from clients and it doesn't come right away. Sometimes they say they've requested the part but it's gonna take maybe 30 days. You have to wait that long until they find the part and they install it.

    I would like to see American Home Shield improve on that. When you purchase the warranty you are not told that if they're fixing for example the stove or the fridge, you would be waiting for a part. Usually when you have a warranty, it’s because you don't have new appliances. When you sign on, you need to know what the limit is. If the part is not available, how long is that gonna take? They need to at least say, “Okay, if the part doesn't come in a week or two weeks or three weeks, we're gonna do something else.” If they don't tell you in advance that you'd be waiting, you're stuck and there is nothing else to do. You just have to wait for the parts.

    The AC unit was was dripping water to the point where I was constantly mopping. It was not just a little bit of water, it was a lot of water. It was from the condensation of the unit. The contractor was able to fix it quickly and easily. They were super professional and really nice guys. They even had on little cute shoe things and masks. They were well-prepared to come in which I appreciated. They came in through the garage rather than through the house and took care of the problem. It didn't even take a half an hour.

    I called American Home Shield not that long ago about a washer that I was having problems with. They sent out like a subsidiary of Sears and that guy was phenomenal. I had another home warranty prior to American Home Shield and they would send these people out that who knows where they were getting them. They didn't really wanna do the work so they would give me ridiculous reasons why they couldn't do it. I needed a water heater and they told me that I had to get my chimney cleaned first. I had a sink break and they told me that they needed not the whole thing, the fixtures. It took them over a week to do it and they wanted to send me a check so that I could go out and buy the fixtures and put it in myself. It was crazy. If I could do that, I wouldn't need any kind of home warranty. But I haven't had that happen with American Home Shield so I'm really grateful for that.

    For the last thing that I called them for, they sent out a vendor that was top quality. The guy not only fixed my washer but also did a couple of extra things. He tightened a couple of things for me that needed to be done. He didn't say, "You need to call in and get another work order to get me to tighten this screw," which a lot of places do. They would say, "You're gonna have to call back in if that needs to get done." American Home Shield sends out good vendors. I've had to deal with them a couple of times and both times, I was really happy. I haven't dealt with them enough to say I'm over the top for them, but I would recommend them versus the one that I had before.

    When I filed the claim, I gotta answer seven questions before getting to a person so I could discuss what's going on. The only thing that can be bad sometimes is the long wait to talk to someone, but I don't think there's anything a whole lot that AHS can do about that. If a lot of people are calling in, they only have so much personnel at certain times. The representatives were more than helpful. They were polite, nice, thoughtful and considerate. I asked how they were doing, with everything that was going on, make sure they were being safe. They appreciated that someone showed some concern about their well-being and they showed concern about my well-being too.

    They bounced back and forth a couple of times between a couple of different people. I've had the plumber down on Palm Street. Then it was the first time that Gibby’s came here to do work and I was completely satisfied. The only thing they didn't do was to take the water heater, but I just told them I would dispose of it. I work in a sheet metal shop so I can take it to work and dispose of it and it doesn't cost me a penny. My only complaint is that we had to wait almost over a week for a new water heater to come in. What we did was to go over to my daughter's every other day to take a real shower or we heat up water in a pan and just wash out of the pan. That was okay for a short period. I definitely wouldn't wanna do it for any longer than we did. But that part might have been with everything that's been going on with the Coronavirus. They had replaced a water heater for me once before pretty quickly.

    Gibby's had to leave once to get some parts ‘cause the one part that they were gonna just change from one water heater to the other was pretty broken down and the guy didn't wanna put it back on. They had to go over to Lowe's to get a new part. The guy went above and beyond what I would think the average person might have. It might have been an issue in the near future and he decided to take care of it then instead of just leaving it.

    I should have asked him to do something while here although it would have been my cost. Apparently, from the original installation, there's no shutoff valve before the decoupler. The shutoff valve is actually after the decoupler so they had to shut off the gas for the entire house. I should have asked him how much extra would it cost to do that. That would have been my responsibility but I didn't think about it at the time. So sometime in the near future, I'm probably gonna have to get that changed because water heaters don't last forever.

Everything with Majestic was fine. But if I have to call American Home Shield, it's always a nightmare. Everything should be able to be handled online. But usually, that's not the case.

But when I had a claim for the dryer, the tech that came out told me that the back of it was bent. I bought the dryer brand-new in March 2019 and they took it out the box. I had no idea then when they put it against the wall that it was bent because I don't pull it out. It worked up until when I called American Home Shield to do the repairs or come see what was wrong with it. They said it couldn't be repaired. They didn't fix it. They just charged me $100 deductible and that was it. So I was very disappointed in that service. But the reps were very nice when I submitted the claim over the phone.

    After a positive interaction with American Home Shield, Sangjin increased their star rating on Sept. 7, 2020.

    Updated review: Sept. 7, 2020

    I received phone calls from American Home Shield (although the calls came two days later than was promised. They were able to hook me up with a contractor who could come two weeks earlier than the original dispatch. The contractor came out on 9/4 and fixed the issue.

    I am updating my star rating to 2, but I cannot give it more than that. I am still unhappy with the whole experience with customer service. Besides, American Home Shield has given no indication they will reconsider their policy on the outside contractors. I am not sure if I will continue to be their customer at this point, and I cannot give them an ok or better rating.

    Original Review: Aug. 23, 2020

    This Monday (8/17) one of our A/C units went out during the heatwave in California, and I filed a service request immediately. And I thought I would get a contractor assigned quickly. I checked the website frequently, but there was no update. The family was suffering under a 100-degree heat, and I began calling the AHS number to find out what's going on. I quickly learned that every time I called the wait time was easily one hour. After an hour of hold I got to talk to a representative. They told me they would look into it and give me a callback the next morning. But the callback never came. Getting more and more frustrated, I kept calling AHS to find out what's going on. And I kept being told the same story. They're looking for a contractor and they would call me back. But the callbacks never came.

    Finally on Thursday (8/20), after 3 full days of constantly calling AHS I got email that a contractor was assigned. I then called up the contractor first thing in the morning, only to find out that the earliest time they can come was 9/1, which was ten days out. I was so shocked to hear it because it meant the family had to go through another 10 days of misery in this weather. I then contacted an HVAC contractor that I knew from previous experience and he said that he could come as soon as the next day, but the only way he could come was if AHS allows him as an outside contractor. He is fully licensed and was willing to work with AHS and I was willing to pay him first and get reimbursed later.

    To try to get that going, I called AHS twice on Friday (8/21). Every time, I was told that AHS had to try to find another contractor and that they would get back to me with an hour or two. For the first 2 calls, however, that callback never came. Completely fed up, I called AHS again. After waiting for one hour and 10 minutes, I got a hold of a representative. Again, I had to explain the whole thing from the beginning. Then he told me that due to the high demand in my area, it is nearly impossible to find a contractor and that he would approve an outside contractor immediately.

    I thought that finally the issue would be resolved. But then after a brief hold, he came back and asked me whether I had one or two A/C units. I told him we have two. We have a two-story house and a dual-zone A/C. But we have family living and both floors and it's not like everyone can cram onto the same floor. His answer was AHS will not allow an outside contractor if there are two A/C units.

    To say I was shocked beyond belief is an understatement. In short, AHS would deny a readily available solution and relief for us because we have two A/C units. It almost borders on cruelty and customer abuse. I asked what's the basis of such a policy and whether someone can exercise judgment to authorize the outside contractor given the shortage of contractors. His answer was a firm no. No one can authorize such a thing and if he did he would be held accountable for doing so. I'm realizing I may be in this pending state indefinitely while I cannot use a readily available outside contractor. And I already paid the contract fee ($100) promptly on Monday. I cannot help but feel that I am getting royally screwed as a customer.

    AHS ultimately assigned another contractor, but I was told that the earliest time they can come out is 9/18! I'm looking at 1 month of misery to continue from the time it went out. Their contractor network cannot service us for one month, and yet they won't allow an outside contractor who's ready to go. It almost feels like we're being held hostage.

    I am an extremely unhappy customer to say the least, and it stems from two things. One, the quality and the integrity of the customer support I ran into was appalling. I was met with inconsistent information, promises of callbacks that were never kept, and general unwillingness to help from the customer perspective. And two, the sheer callousness of not allowing an outside contractor in the midst of contractor shortage that AHS itself admitted. So apparently AHS feels it is OK to leave a customer in this state for one month or longer, suffering from the continuing hot weather. How that is acceptable to its customer, I have no idea.

    American Home Shield has gotten worse over the past five years. The contractors who represent them are not as good as they used to be. It takes a while to get a good contractor out and it takes time to get my issue repaired. There was one contractor, Accord Appliance, that just Mickey Mouses their job and use old parts that they have on their shelves to try to make an extra bit of money from American Home Shield. I told AHS not that I never want to see that contractor again.

    Last summer, my air conditioning went out and they sent out a company that looked at it and it took four months to get my AC fixed. The company was screwing me around. They put in a request with Home Shield to have the repair approved but we didn't hear from them. After 10 days, I called the contractor directly 'cause I wasn't getting any feedback. Instead of contacting AHS, they just put in another request for the AC to be done. It just confused Home Shield as to what was taking place. They called me and asked if I had four air conditioners. I was very upset and I was looking for another insurance company. AHS should have more responsibility over their contractors and keep an eye on them.

    I had a leak in my pool pump recently so I called up American Home Shield. I didn't get any response so I went through their website. They then sent me a text saying that a contractor will get a hold of me and set up an appointment. At first, two different techs out and both of them were horrible. The first came and looked at my pump for 15 seconds and said it wasn't grounded and therefore, they wouldn't repair it. The second one came and said that I had a hole in my pump. We never heard from the second tech again. Each time, I would call Home Shield and tell them to send out a new contractor. Most recently Upland Pool Supply came out, looked at it and found the part that was needed. He came back a week later and did an excellent job. Everything has been working fine since then.

    The customer service that we received was excellent with the last issue that we had. We got the information. The guy from Sears came in and noticed that the electrical burner on top was not working. He explained and he ordered the part. He said it would arrive in the mail and for us to place it in and if we had any problems, to call them. But it was easy. We received it and it's up and working.

    The thing that I do not like with AHS is that I would go on the website sometimes and they want me to create a username and password. We can't be creating a username and password everywhere. It should be a very simple option to go online, put the contact number or address, and generate it that way versus creating a username and password, 'cause AHS still has to verify that it's the right location. Also, it was a delay for people to answer the phone. It was worse when COVID-19 started. I would be on the phone for over 40 minutes and nobody would pick up so that was frustrating.

    The other thing I do not like is that the monthly rate is going up. Now, they're taxing for each visit that they come down so that's going sky high. I've been a member for so many years and it seems like there's no way for them to work around with customers. It's not like we use them often either. I understand that there are things happening, the weather is not good, other states are getting hit. But that is happening in that state, so why is everybody else has the fees go up? It makes no sense. I have multiple properties and I'm helping my parents with their property because they're retired and on a fixed income. AHS should give those customers some type of discount. They gave me a discount for one month, but all the other months, I'm paying $75 on top of what I pay for my home. I would not recommend them because the fees are outrageous. Compared to other commercials on TV and other people, I think it's time for me to start shopping around.

But my first claim with tem took a long time. It was a long, drawn-out process for a hot water heater repair. Then, once I got connected with a plumber, he handled the claim and he charged me an extra $45. He told me it was "extra pricing” but the connector piece is only $30 from Home Depot.

    I spoke to a representative from Home Shield but she was really hard to understand. Her accent was very heavy. And it could have been the time I called. I understand Home Shield outsources so everybody can have a great customer experience. But it was very difficult communicating with her. I asked if I could speak to someone else and hse said there was no one else to speak to. Also, I ask one specific question and it seems like their call center reps just read from a script, like an automatic response they're supposed to give me.

Recently, I had pool issue and AHS sent out Dunks Pool Mart to work on it. The tech did an outstanding job. He was good about calling and about coming back when he said he was going to come back. He's probably one of the best people I've ever had come off from any home warranty. I also love the service from AHS and I'm glad that I have the warranty. I would recommend it now to my clients.

    We were having a leak and a rummage in the plumbing. It was simple to submit the claim with American Home Shield and the tech they sent out made a fix immediately. But the statement that was made in our home wasn't translated on the report, so a part of the service wasn't covered by the warranty. Contractors need to annotate what they tell you in your home on their report to AHS.

    The overall claim since day one took like 30 days. The first company came out and they gave me a hard time. The guy said, "Your refrigerator's broken. We're gonna try to order parts for it, which parts probably ain't available." They weren't in contact with American Home Shield so that's what made the problem. I kept calling and waiting in line on hold with them for two and a half weeks. American Home Shield said the company never gave them a detailed invoice for them to even attempt to order stuff.

    It wasn't American Home Shield but that first contractor that they used was terrible. They kept beating around the bush. I kept calling and calling and calling, and the other lady said, "I got this other company coming out. Wait for them. They won't be out for a week, but this is one of the best companies." I said, "Why didn't you send me one of your companies from the beginning? Why did you send me a nobody?" That's what I was upset about. But the other company came out and said what was broken. They called American Home Shield and they replaced it. My gift card came in four or five days later.

    Sometimes, American Home Shield is okay, and sometimes, it's not. Right now, I have a warranty claim in for my hot water heater that’s out and I had them come. The people they hire let them know that the item is bad and a lot of times, I have to wait. I have to wait for them to get parts, get somebody to order it, and it can be another week or so before I get my hot water. That's the most annoying thing. Still, the issue got taken care of.

    Also, everything went well with Sears. They did my refrigerator but I had to purchase one first and be reimbursed. I sent American Home Shield the information the same day and the reimbursement took about a month. As far as submitting a claim, I’ve done it both ways and I wanna talk to somebody. I’ve called and then I’ve done it online. Sometimes, I can't get a response online so I wait for somebody to call me.

    In 2018, I had someone come out for my dishwasher and he said I needed a motherboard. He never came back. I called American Home Shield and they said they would call the person. But he never ever came back. I would call and sometimes people would say they would call me back and I would give them my name and number. They didn't call back. Then I would speak with someone and they would transfer me. When I was transferred, there were times when I was on hold for two hours and at one time, two and a half. I just put my phone on speaker and I did things around my home, so I would not really recommend American Home Shield to anyone. One time too, I was on hold so long that my phone died. It was an ordeal to connect.

    When I was having problems with my range, I was telling one lady who was nice what happened and she said they would fix the dishwasher and because of all my troubles, she would give me a credit so that I would not have to pay the $100 deductible. I just got a bill for the $100 so I was gonna call them. The technicians I had were okay but the one who fixed the dishwasher was excellent. He contacted me and came out as promised. He was on time, very professional and knowledgeable. So, I didn't have any problems with the contractors. I've thought about canceling though and I'm still thinking about that. I’ve had AHS for four years and I've been paying every month. I have only used them three times but the whole thing with the stove was crazy. It had nothing to do with the contractors or the tech. It was poor customer service. I went a whole month without a range, and it wasn't acceptable.

    The incident happened July 10th and I called the 11th. Some people would have been going off but I have good survival skills. We used different appliances like the air fryer and the microwave around the house so that we could continue to eat. They said we could use the top but I didn't feel comfortable doing that so I didn’t use it nor the oven. But the contractor who came out was good and I would recommend the company, Wright. The young man was very professional and courteous. He explained to me what was going on. He came to my house three times but the person who delivered the stove came just one time because he didn't have to repair it. But he was also very professional and knowledgeable. So, I've had no problems with both contractors.

    The initial and continuing issue is my air conditioning is not cooling. It's been going on for a month now. The first gentleman Home Shield sent out said he doesn't do my type of air conditioning. They connected me with Koning and the guy came in and said he fixed it. A week later, the AC stopped cooling. It was registering 77 jumping to 84. I called them again, Koning came in again, and they said they fixed it. Sure enough, it went right back up. It just stopped cooling. Then they came in again on a Friday and the guy said he fixed it. He left at two o'clock. He set my thermostat at 75 and the indoor temperature on the thermostat read 77. At 5:30, it was still reading 77 and the thermostat was still set at 75.

    I called him and I said it's not working and that it's going up. He said he was gonna do a follow-up and he hasn't showed. I turned the whole unit off and I took a picture of the thermostat so I can show them. This morning, I turned the thermostat back on and it's working. But I'd give it a couple of days and it's gonna shoot back up.

    Home Shield has always been on point. The only thing I don't like is when I have to call customer service because the wait is like an hour. Then if I leave my telephone number, it's gonna take at least another hour or two for them to call back. But that's the only thing that disheartens me. I understand there's a process and I understand that they have a lot of customers. Home Shield is very professional, concise, and on point. And the individuals that I have spoken to from Home Shield are very knowledgeable and they understand. I'm very satisfied with Home Shield and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

They gave me a timing of when the contractors would be here. In fact, the contractor was here before then. He was here quicker than the time that I was given. Appliance Tech was great. These folks were absolutely professional. He was very courteous, did everything he had to do and left everything very clean after he was done. He said, “If you have any issues, just please call us and let us know.” Everything's been fully functional since then. The oven's been working great. We've used it multiple times.

    One of the stoves wasn't igniting and it was almost like there was a blockage in the gas line. I called the number that was provided to me by American Home Shield and they worked with us. They told us when they had the next availability for the tech to come out and I wasn't able to do one of the days, so they rearranged it.

    Then, the tech they came out in a timely manner and his diagnosis was good. I was not home but my wife said the repairman was very professional, knowledgeable, and took COVID precautions. He had to order a part and everything was done within reasonable expectations, so we were very satisfied. Everything's been good since the repair, too. All in all, the service was great. Nobody likes to pay money every month for insurance stuff and I never used to do that either. But as I got older, I got more bad luck. The warranty has paid for itself though and when I had an issue, it was resolved very quickly without any complications.

I determined it was something inside the garbage disposal. Since the sink was not draining properly, it hindered us from being able to wash dishes in a timely manner and keeping things clean and tidy. I initially called American Home Shield but then I went online and made the service call. They gave me Red Dragon as the servicing vendor and their tech did a great job.

    American Home Shield sent someone for our AC the very first time, and they were delinquents. It was horrible. They didn't finish the service. But after that, everything was 100% recommendable. The second people that actually did the job were excellent. Everything was so perfect. The tech was so helpful, so educated and he explained to us every time what he was doing. He also told us we need a part, and he had to go to five different stores in order to find it, so the experience was amazing with Home Shield and with them.

    I went online to submit the claim to Home Shield. The AC wasn't working and me and my husband work a lot, so we discovered the night when we got home. The only issue that I had was I really didn't know what was wrong with the AC so the website was giving me too many options. So, I selected a couple options. But when they came, everything was perfect. Even when we set up the problem with the first people, it was good. The problem was when they got to the house, we were rushing out. We told them to call us 30 minutes in advance because work 10 minutes from my house. They didn't call. They didn't wait for me to get home which is 10 minutes. They keep calling me. “We have your address blah blah blah.” We even went to the best Better Business Bureau to report that company because I never deal with anybody like that.

    I called Home Shield. I spoke with someone. The system went down but that person told me, “Hey, my system went down right now. There is nothing I can do.” Five minutes later, I received an email saying, “We set up your service with a different company. He’s gonna come this day.” It was awesome. We are really satisfied.

    My dishwasher wasn't working and my refrigerator was leaking. They put it on one claim and American Home Shield handled the process fine. When the first contractor came, he didn't ring the bell. My garage was open and I happened to look outside and saw the truck. I was running downstairs to open the door then he said the job was completed and left.

    I kept on trying to get in touch with American Home Shield saying that he didn't even come in my house. He didn’t even do anything. I've been on hold for two hours. I called back and I was on the phone for another hour. They sent out the same technician and this time, he made it. He came, looked and stayed here 10 minutes. He said both things needed a motor. Next thing I knew, American Home Shield called me and said they couldn't do the job because I needed new motors. I asked for another person to come out and that technician fixed the problem. It was a process and I was frustrated. I kept calling and calling and doing all kinds of stuff.

    I have had good experiences with American Home Shield in the past and I was happy with them but this happened to be a bad experience. Usually, filing a claim is easy. I understand the wait because of COVID, but these are really long wait times. Before that, I didn't have to wait that long to get in touch with a claims person. I noticed it’s different this time and I understand that but the contractor was the one I had a problem with. I was upset about what happened with the first contractor they gave me. When he came the second time, he was on time. He said they'd go order the parts for me and to make sure I give them a good rating. I did thinking that they would come back and have the parts for me. But then I got called saying that American Home Shield was not going to replace the part ‘cause it was due to debris and soot. He wasn't even here that long. He didn't look at the machines to check it to even know that that's the problem.

    There are some things that American Home Shield should do on the technician’s part just to make sure that they're following through with the right protocols. I don't think the contractor should be able to say he completed the job. If he found someone wasn’t home, he could’ve said that and not that he completed the work ‘cause that's what really got me mad. I don't understand why this person said that I didn't answer. Afterwards, I couldn't reach them anymore. They send something to you by email. I have the number to the company, but they give you a personal number to the technician. When I went back to that, that was gone.

    I did the initial claim for my HVAC system through their online portal. Then they reached out to me and we set it up. When they reached out to me, we had to figure out who was available on their system to come out and do the work and the evaluation. I had to call Fast Heating and Cooling and set up a time for them to come out. Then they came out, did their assessment and they came back. I didn't have the greatest experience with them. Initially, I requested somebody that I was familiar with, Beverly Heating & Cooling Services. But American Home Shield didn't send them out because they told me that they weren't available in my area to be sent out and then that became untrue because they ended up going out eventually.

    When I was talking to the guy from Fast Heating and Cooling on the phone, he was a little disorganized. But essentially, nothing was going to be covered and they gave me an astronomical price for everything that needed to be done. So I reached out to Beverly Heating & Cooling, gave them the situation, and they said they do things for American Home Shield all the time. When we talked to American Home Shield, they told me that there were certain things that weren't covered so I requested a second opinion. The rep was able to get Beverly Heating & Cooling to go out and check it out. Then they came back and gave their assessment of things that needed to be done and then it became covered. Everything's working fine now.

    The few times that I had to call American Home Shield, I waited one time for about 40 minutes on the phone for anyone to pick up. The wait times seemed ridiculously long just to get to talk to somebody. When I needed to do a second opinion, I waited about 35 minutes for somebody to pick up. The first time that I talked to somebody on the phone after waiting 45 minutes, it was really hard to understand them on the phone because they had a very, very thick accent. So it ended up being not so helpful because I couldn't understand what they were saying. But the second time was a little bit better. The person has an accent but I could understand them much better.

    I have two air conditioners, one that does the back part of the house with the bedrooms and another one does the kitchen, living room, great room and game room. The one the front part of that house wasn't working at all and the back one wasn't seeming to get the house cool. American Home Shield sent out a repair guy from Quick Response. He was really great. I really recommend that AHS keeps him and use him a lot ‘cause they will have a ton of happy customers. He's super professional but friendly. He did a really good job. He found out that there were a major leakage and some other problems with the front air conditioner and it had to be replaced.

    I called AHS that day 'cause I couldn't handle these high heats. There was over a two-hour wait to get a hold of them so I hung up the phone. The wait time is ridiculous. A callback queue would be the ultimate thing for Home Shield and it would really make their customers and vendors happy. But American Home Shield gave the okay in a really timely fashion. I was expecting it to be a month. The technician called me and said that he got the air conditioner and everything. He'd be out there either the next day or the day after that. He did it in a really timely fashion. Also, he had actually worked on this house before on the air conditioning years back because there were notes on the back of the air conditioner when you opened up the stuff and it was his handwriting.

    The technician checked the Freon on the back air conditioner and then the thermostat needed a battery in it. He put a battery in and explained to me to keep all the doors open while the air conditioning was going and not to shut down the rooms because it needed to have the airflow. He was really good at explaining how air conditioning was working in our house. We have really high 16-foot ceilings so it works a little bit different in a house that has higher ceilings than a house that doesn't. He came back and replaced the front air conditioner. In the house, he had to do all kinds of work on the blower unit that takes care of all that in the house. It was unbelievable because he literally had to stand on his head to get it done. I was amazed at how great the technician was and how fast AHS was.

    American Home Shield is absolutely 1 Million % worth it. You never know what's gonna go wrong with your house. I paid $880 for the warranty and the air conditioner job was actually a couple of thousand dollars. I will never go without having a warranty. They also cover pool pumps and well pumps, which is a huge thing for us. If people knew that the covered those two things, they would buy it just for the peace of mind of not having to worry about it if those two things broke down. It was just an unbelievable and wonderful experience. I've had to fix other things in my house and it has always been a good experience.

    The pump motor that runs the filter for the pool was making a loud noise and then it went out. All American called me the next day after I placed a work order. They came out and troubleshot it. The technician said that it needed a pump. Things have been hard to get due to Coronavirus. So he just said that if he couldn't get here the next day, I should buy some chlorine and keep the fountain running so I could keep the pool going and it wouldn't go stagnant. It was very helpful. Then the technician called me the next day and said that the pump was here. So he came out and fixed everything. They did a great job and I was very happy with them. I had placed a work order with the previous pool company that was doing some work and their guy did a good job, but it wasn't as good as All American.

    American Home Shield has a straightforward process. It was easy when I made a service request and it happened very quickly. My refrigerator needed some more coolant in it and the contractor who came was good. He didn't have the coolant needed and he wasn't able to fix the issue but he let American Home Shield know. They then sent somebody out a day later.

    I've had claims with AHS where I've had big issues. They've been getting dragged on for months and I'm not happy with that at all. Things take a lot of time with Home Shield and they don't cover a lot. With my AC problem, they only covered 30% instead of the entire problem. Recently, my outside faucet and hose was leaking water. I submitted a request to American Home Shield and they assigned a vendor to me. Within a few days the tech from their contractor J & K Plumbing came and fixed my issue. Everything has been perfect since then.

    We had an air conditioner issue. It had made a loud noise and it sounded like it just turned off. I went through my AHS app and I made an appointment through there. I like the app. That was the second claim I've ever had to make but I like to get on there. If I need to update my info or check to see what they cover in case anything happens, it's so easy to use. I got notified on my email when I made the appointment. 'Cause I had to make two appointments for that. The first contractors, they weren't gonna come. They had called me after I made the appointment. They weren't able to come for like a few weeks. So I had to reschedule with the company that came up because it was too hot.

    The company that came were good. They fixed the issue. The guy was really quick. He fixed it in like 10 minutes. He found what was wrong with it and replaced the part. I like them. They were nice. The guy was easygoing and told us what happened. He was professional. We were without AC for four days so it was a huge relief.

    When we first got AHS, the previous homeowners had left their refrigerator. The door handle just completely came off and it was a struggle. Whoever the contractors were that came out, they tried saying my daughter was the one that broke the freezer handle and she was 20 pounds at the time. So I had to argue with them and whoever the lady was that I spoke to through American Home Shield, she was like, "That's ridiculous. That's nonsense.” She really helped me through that claim and she was the one that got it approved. Thankfully, she did because our freezer wouldn't open. So we basically got our money's worth that first claim that we made for the year with our home warranty. It helped a lot.

    The control panel for the pool equipment had died for some reason. It wasn't functioning properly so Watertight Pool and Spa came out. They had to order a new control panel to replace the one that wasn't working. When I called to let them know I couldn't program my pool with the new control panel, they ordered one that would be compatible. They had some internal ordering issues and I hadn't heard from them for a couple weeks. I called and after a couple of days, they called back. They came out and brought a new control panel. They explained to me their internal ordering issues and apologized. I was pleased because they admitted the mistake and I got a better piece of equipment out of it.

    I was satisfied with the timeframe. I called when I first noticed the problem in early July and they were out within a couple days. When they ordered the first part and brought it back, that was probably three days apart. They came out on a Thursday and brought the new part on Monday. When I couldn't program it, it was probably a total of about three weeks before I finally got it resolved.

    We're coming up on a year with American Home Shield and the first nine months of having the service, I wasn't really satisfied. I would call on various items and it seemed like whenever technicians came regardless of the problem, it was like they tried to figure out the least amount of work to do. They couldn't track down a problem and I didn't feel satisfied on most calls.

    I had one specific incident where the spotlight wasn't working in the pool. I called and the contractor came out. They said, "We don't deal with stuff under the water." They couldn't troubleshoot the pool light. Eventually, I called a pool control guy locally on my own. He said I needed to call a master electrician which I did. They came out and ended up tracing the problem back to the whole breaker box. They pulled it to change it. At that point, American Home Shield said, "We can't cover any of that because our technician wasn't on site when you put the breaker box in." There would've been no way to get their technician on site because their technician would've never troubleshot the spotlight in the first place. I was kinda stuck in this loop where I ended up coming out of pocket 5,000 bucks.

    But with this pool control panel and with the recent air conditioning issue, both companies were thorough. The repairs required were pretty expensive and it's kinda like the warranty paid for itself. For the past couple months, we've been pleased with American Home Shield. I would advise most people to get a home warranty and I would recommend American Home Shield. I would advise them what they're getting into and if they got a pool, I would definitely tell them to get a pool warranty as well.

American Home Shield said it was but they were saying it wasn’t so it kinda got delayed. They came out Wednesday versus Tuesday. But they were fine. American Home Shield is kind of an extra insurance. If something breaks, I just have to pay my co-pay.

It was 11:00 at night and it’s stuck. My neighbor came over and closed it. I called American Home Shield and they sent Garage Doors and More out a couple of days later. The dude that came out said that I needed a part for it to close, but they didn’t have it because of the COVID in the mail, so they had to order it. I waited. I called back to ask the lady if she knew when the part was gonna come in because I was having issues with my door. It got stuck again and it won’t open. She said it would be back within a week and someone will come out. Someone came out like she said, and they fixed it. The dude who came out did a good job. He had his mask on, too.

    So far, I haven't had no problems with American Home Shield except for one time when I called on the weekend and my air condition wasn't working, and they swiped my card twice. It took time to get my money back. They charged me $200 because I had called back. It was on a weekend, and there was no operator. I had to call my bank so my bank could go after AHS for the money.

    MJS Plumbing came out and they fixed the drain and the bathtub, which was caused when the contractor took that all apart to fix the leak from the trap in the downstairs bathroom. So all of that was connected. The contractor was good. He knows what he's doing, but it was because of the communication issue with some of the customer service folks. Because I got a call from them yesterday, the faucets are what my issue is, and I don't know what they were doing. I'm really frustrated.

    I've been waiting two months for the sheetrock guy. I'm just very disappointed. They kept saying, "Your contractor will connect with you." It's been terrible. I got a text from the sheetrock guy I spoke with yesterday. "I've developed some kind of stomach bug. It looks like I have to reschedule on Wednesday work, same time." I said, "Thank you. I will call for another contractor as I've been waiting over a month and I can't keep retaking off work." He said, "Okay, let me know if I can still help. If I didn't realize you were taking off. I can always come late in the afternoon if that will be better." Then I said, "Okay, afternoon would be much better. I'll wait for you." Then he said, "I'm sorry. I meant afternoon. Unfortunately, I'm not feeling well enough today. Maybe tomorrow." It just goes on and on. But AHS is not saying that when they take that money out of my account every single month.

    Then, I'm on the phone anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours just waiting to get through to a rep just to put in a claim, only to get more days and weeks of more runaround until finally, someone comes. But it's not MJS. It's just the communication between the folks at American Home Shield and not fully understanding. They're so quick to put in a work order, but there's already a language barrier because most of them are foreign. So they're not catching everything that I say. I speak proper English, so I know that that's not the case.

But if I have a problem with the repair people that have come out and then trying to get back to talk to someone to get it continued, that’s what the problem is and that's what I don’t like.

    But the service contractors that have come out have been good. I just had one. I had a plumbing issue where I had the repair person come out. We thought the problem was resolved, but it wasn't so they had to come back out again. So that's happened to me a couple of times with some of the various service people that they have. Service, so far, has been pretty good. I don't have anything against operators being in foreign countries, but it'd be great if they had some here you could talk to.

    The previous guy who came for my refrigerator kept saying that he didn't receive the right part from American Home Shield. I kept asking and asking and American Home Shield assigned me a different contractor, Alliance Appliance. A guy came out maybe a month ago for my refrigerator. He checked the part and said he will order it. I called Alliance Appliance three days ago and they said they haven't received the part yet. But they have ordered it and as soon as they receive it, they are gonna give me a call to schedule an appointment. This is for the wrong part for my small Frigidaire that I have in my basement. It's a thermostat.

    Alliance Appliance is a good contractor because this is the second time that they serviced me. The first time was three years ago when I didn't have a contract with American Home Shield yet. Their tech fixed a dryer that I have. Their tech came back and he was wearing the mask. He asked if I remembered him and he told me that they fixed my washer. That washer still works. These guys are professional. I told the tech that he was coming because the previous technician couldn't finish the job. I also told him to be extra careful to order the right part. He took photos and this and that. He then called his boss or manager. He seemed very careful to order the right part from American Home Shield.

    So far, American Home Shield has been good. But one problem is that when you call, you need to wait one hour on line to get somebody, which can be fixed. If it is a new service request, you just go online and you make it. But many times, the parts don't arrive quickly or they arrive but it is the wrong part. I know that these things happen. But personally, these difficulties are not very important. I have been receiving very good service from AHS and I have been telling all my friends about it. I told them that it's worth the money.

    I am a professor and I have a lot of free time. But other people whowork 9:00 to 5:00 and they have a boss on a daily sched. They cannot make a phone call. If you make a phone call for another day, you have to wait for an hour. The low-hanging fruit for improving service is more people answering those phone lines. Somehow they need to fix that one-hour wait because it really affects a lot of people. In theory, American Home Shield assigns someone, they will show up, they're gonna fix the problem, and case closed. But in practice, in probably more than half of the calls, the guy had to come three or four times.

    On the whole, I'm happy and I am advertising American Home Shield left and right. I have three contracts with them - two of my rental properties and the house that I'm staying in. I have another condo that I use as an office that I wanted to start a contract. The ZIP code is 44106 and American Home Shield told me that they don't serve that area because they don't have many technicians there, which was surprising because that's Cleveland. They have a lot of technicians in the suburbs but not in the downtown Cleveland.

I just go on the website and submit my claim, which makes it nice and easy. I don't even have to talk to anybody from them.

    American Home Shield is the WORST company to deal with! We had an emergency septic backup on Friday afternoon. Called AHS immediately after situation only to wait on hold for AN HOUR AND HALF to be hung up on then called back and another 1 hour 43 minutes hold to see WHEN someone will be out (after the $100 fee they require first). The guy has no idea when someone will be out. I explained to the representative this is an emergency and we cannot use any facilities in the house. He then puts me on hold to check status. 18 minutes later hangs up!!.

    I call back again and this time 1 hour and 45 minutes to get NO WHERE!. Call them again first thing in the morning to start the WHOLE process over again... and finally get a human on the phone. She will try to expedite the service request. Put on HOLD again...She then tells me dispatch will be calling me....I ask her a few times really will they call or is this just lip service. She assures me they will call. Guess what? I get a call and dispatch wants to know the situation. I explain it to them and they will try to find a contractor and she will call me back.

    An hour later she calls back stating they found one and I asked her, "WILL THEY COME OUT TODAY?", yes they will be calling me....GREAT NEWS right? Wrong....wait 2 hours. No call so I decide to call the contractor myself to see when he will show up....He does not even know about today. "He said, Well maybe I can come TUESDAY...Nope. Sorry. Tuesday will not work." Septic/ sewer is backed up! "Well we are closed and I am not sure why AHS said I will come today...."OMG are you kidding me.....So call back AHS AGAIN I guess what. On hold.....The only AHS is good for is collecting money and that is IT....Do NOT waste your time with AMERICAN HOME SHIELD.

    My AC line was plugged up from mold. I had no difficulty with my claim submission and AHS did everything just like they should do. They were very kind and helpful. They assigned my claim to Yantra Air and their tech put some Clorox and cleaned out the unit. He told me how to take care of it too. It was an excellent job. This is the first time I've ever had a home warranty and my experience has been top of the line. On both times that contractors came, they did everything and were very professional.

    I had to call to submit the claim and it seems like every time I call them, I'm on hold for at least an hour. When the contractor came out to inspect the AC, they were cautious and used the things to put on their feet. But they were unable to make the repair. They explained what needed it be done and gave me an estimate of what it would cost. Whenever I have to call American Home Shield out, t's always something like a sales or something has to be sold to me. It's not like the technicians can come out and fix it and it's covered under American Home Shield. It's an additional cost that they have to sell me and that's with any of the technicians.

    Somebody told me about this wonderful company called American Home Shield and they kept pushing me until I finally decided to give them a call. I never had any issues but once I start paying them, then things will start happening. Overall, the service with American Home Shield is good but I'm gonna have to get used to putting my request in online. I did it online one time and it was a total disaster, which is why I don't do it that way. I didn't make things clear and I had to pay a fee again because of the way I worded it. So I prefer to call in but sometimes there's a long wait period to call in a work order.

    The claim with Hers and His Plumbing went fast. I submitted it to American Home Shield one day and I got a phone call that said the contractor was coming the same day. That one was a quick turnaround. The guy was nice and gave out a lot information. He fixed the issue, he assessed the damage or whatever was going on with my plumbing, and he took care of it. He was in and out. I had to call back a day after that because I discovered that the kitchen sink was still leaking underneath. But they came back and I haven't had a problem since. The technician had on a mask and he even tried to wear the little protective shoes but I have hardwood floors and he didn’t have to do that. My AC is also not working and I'm burning up at home. It just went out yesterday, so I called last night. When I got home, it was 87 degrees in my house and now, it's 97. But someone's coming out tomorrow.

    Having AHS is a great benefit, especially this last one with my plumbing issues. I wasn't even sure if that part was covered so, I reached out to another company to have them to come in and take a look at it. The guy came in and he said it'd be $400 to fix my issues. I told him that I would check on something see if it would qualify. He said that I couldn’t have any any insurance that's gonna cover plumbing. I said he was probably right but I'm gonna call just to be sure before I give him my $400. I called AHS and they said it was covered. So, I was glad to have it because the plumbing issue was gonna be huge. I thought I had it for my fence though because I had some fence damage but they assured me they don't cover things like that, so that was fine.

    We had a toilet leak. It kept running. There was a noise coming. I had four toilets with similar issues, two were making noise, two were leaking. So when I tried to submit it online at AHS, it gave me an option of a maximum of three. So, when the guy came in, I showed him all four and they called American Home Shield back and got it approved that it was not three, it was four.

    This guy came in and said, "We'll have to call the American Home Shield and we will call you back next day or whenever we're ready, whenever we have parts," and then he just disappeared. He never came back. I asked him, "Can you please fix it now because it's been running?" I got the appointment late. When I called, they came out in four days. So, I didn't want to wait anymore. But then, he disappeared. When they came and my husband was leaving, and he was parked on the driveway. So my husband said, "Can you please park your truck on the road?" Then he had to go back and park his truck on the road. Maybe he didn't like that.

    I was dissatisfied. They could've done something, but they did not. Another company called me the next day that, "We want to schedule an appointment to fix your toilet." They came and they fixed it right away. This has happened before. The contractors came and they just needed to replace that and tighten something from the inside. But, I didn't like their attitude.

    First, the contractor couldn't figure out what was wrong with the AC so they told me I needed to replace a breaker that I didn't need to. I replaced that. Then they came out and couldn't figure it out so I told them what the issue was with the air conditioner. They said that they'd order what I told them to order. Then they told me that they wanted to put on new Freon in the system when it has Freon.

    Originally, he was gonna charge me $350 for the Freon. They're required by the EPA to reclaim it, and I would assume he's just taking the Freon and using it on the next job and charging people for it because he was pretty adamant that we had to change it. They make a lot of money off of American Home Shield and all the customers they service by putting Freon in when the people don't need it. After I explained to him that I'm a contractor and I talked to the manufacturer and I talked to everybody that I don't have to put that, he said that they’ll reuse it. They put the Freon in and the guy that was changing it didn't know what he was doing and let a whole bunch of it into the atmosphere so it didn't have enough Freon. We went a whole another day without air conditioning until they came out and put my Freon into it. We got air conditioning, but it was quite a process to get there.

    The first guy that came out did partial repair on the outside unit. There was a bunch of leaves and debris on the coil outside. He cleaned that off and told me that he checked the freon and it was fine. But when I called him about an hour or so later and told him it still was not cooling, he said to give it another hour and call him back. It never cooled. The second guy that came out said it was low on freon that was why the coil was leaking. I told him the first guy that was out here said he checked the pressure and everything was fine but apparently that wasn't the case.

    We've been without an AC for three weeks and this time, they finally did repair the AC. I was happy that it was finally working. It's nothing major but inside the closet where the unit is, they left a little mess. Also, the hold time was unacceptable. There were a couple of times that I was on hold for over an hour. Trying to get answers and trying to find out where the part was added to the frustration with it not being repaired quickly.

    Besides being on hold forever, it looks like the phones are transferred over somewhere else. There was one time that I was connected to some lady that spoke very bad English. It was hard to understand her. When she was trying to give me some answers back when I was trying to find out what was taking so long, she had a hard time communicating and put me on hold. After I was on hold for a while, the line conveniently dropped. Altogether, it was a pretty bad experience. But I've dealt with American Home Shield before on other issues in the house, and I had not had any problems.

    My washer wasn't draining the water after the cycle. All In One Appliance Repair came out and replaced the pump and everything was all good after that. The claims process through American Home Shield was pretty simple, especially now you can just file the claim online. The guys from All In One Appliance were concerned on the questionnaire online that it didn't say whether or not my washer was on a stand or not. That dictates how many people they’ll need to send out on the job. The guy came one day and he was by himself and realized my washer was not on a stand. He questioned me about that as far as when I applied for the service, did it have a question on there whether or not it was on a stand or not. I told him there wasn't. So he said that they had requested that American Home Shield put that on their application and, apparently, they didn't do it. He said he had to request they do it again.

    I thought I had an issue with my air conditioning unit because it was leaking inside the closet. I had a guy come out. When he showed up, all he did was remove some debris outside around the drainage pipe and the water started to drain. Had I known that was the issue, then I could have done that myself, but I still had to pay $100 for the deductible. I understand it’s a business and that's pretty standard, but it seems that in some jobs it should consider how big the job is before committing to the deductible. Other than that, I've had several items replaced since I've been here and I'm very satisfied.

    The technician was on time when he came out and he did what he was supposed to have done. He came out twice, and then he told his people at Sears they couldn't fix my unit, so Home Shield got me another refrigerator. It took a week ‘cause the technician had to write those papers. My sister who lives down the street from me has Home Shield. She told me to go with them ‘cause any time they call, Home Shield would always come out. They've been great with me too.

    I called AHS to submit a claim and they said that they were gonna notify the contractor and the contractor sent me an email. I called the contractor and made an appointment and they came out. The drain was clogged. They fixed it and everything was back to perfect. I love American Home Shield. They couldn't have been better. They saved me so many times. The air conditioning broke. The contractors came, assessed it and fixed it. It was all good. It was all done timely and wonderfully and my tenant was thrilled and everything was fine.

    I called Home Shield on the phone for the air conditioning heating unit. I spoke with an actual person and they told me the contractor would call me. It was a weekend and she called me that Monday morning. She said she could get me down for Thursday which was fine. I have a 3-story unit and my upstairs unit was working and blowing down on my main unit. I know that there’s a lot of people that needed help more than I did.

    Ron Haynes came out that Thursday. Before he came in, he asked what the problem was because if he didn’t have to come in, he didn’t wanna come in with the coronavirus. I told him what the problem was and he got right to it. He was clean, courteous, and he wore a mask. Also, the tech, Brian had to clean the inside of my unit. He had to take it apart and clean it and he scrubbed that unit. And there was a squeal that drove my husband nuts and he hit the nail right on the head. He was so meticulous about his work. I had the same problem last year and the guy then was gonna put a hole in my wall and drain. But Ron Haynes did what they had to do and they were above and beyond.

    I had a floor drain in my basement that wasn't draining. I called American Home Shield. They set up an appointment with Thomas Brothers. The plumbers came out two days after the initial claim was filed. The guy that did the work, Scott, was very personable, very knowledgeable, was very quick to get right to fixing the problem, and gave me a little advice on how to prevent that type of situation from occurring in the future.

    We've had American Home Shield for years and some of their contractors are not worth a damn. This recent contractor from Max Cool Air Conditioning was the best I'd ever seen. He was very knowledgeable and identified the problem right away. They had to order a part which took a week or so which is normal. But he knew what he was doing and fixed the problem in short order, and it's working fine.

    We have tankless hot water heaters on the outside of our house on two sides. Three years ago, one of them quit working. I called American Home Shield and they sent somebody out. The man looked at it and the one that came out to repair it said, "I've never seen one of those before." They sent a total of three people out and none of them could fix it because it was broken. I had to hire somebody to put a new one in at my expense. That was a horrible experience with American Home Shield. But most of our experiences have been good or we would’ve canceled it. It gets more expensive every year but it's still important to have insurance like that. Most of the contractors they've sent out have been okay. Some were not so good and one of them was terrible. I'm sure American Home Shield hires the cheapest people they can find that come and do the job but sending somebody that's not knowledgeable is very foolish.

    The gentleman that came out for the dryer was very nice. However, he came a little longer than I hoped for and carrying my wet laundry down the street to the neighbor's house wasn't very pleasant. He replaced the part that he thought was the issue but he still couldn't get the dryer to turn on so he called. He was on the phone with his boss and they discussed it. They decided it had to be the motor so they replaced it. It still wasn't acting right so they replaced the circuit board. The guy was very lovely and got the dryer to work. In the end, that's all that mattered.

    I have an open claim right now. Last week Thursday morning, my husband went downstairs to put some stuff in the freezer. It's down in the utility room where the hot water heater is. He looked down and there was water on the floor. It was not coming from the hot water heater. We realized that the pipe coming into the house from the outside faucet was leaking. The drywall was wet too. We got the outside water shut off. We got fans sitting there. I was on hold with American Home Shield for an hour before they answered the phone. I finally got the claim in and they assigned somebody. I said, “Is there anybody that we know that is immediately available? What do I have to do to get somebody out here today?” But the lady was of absolutely no help. If it weren’t for the warranty and I had to call somebody, I’d had somebody out there that day.

    I got on the phone and called the company that they assigned it to. Nobody answered the phone. I finally got somebody to call me back. They said they were swamped. They were putting in six hot water heaters and were doing this and that. But she was a very nice lady. She finally called me back Saturday morning and said she could get somebody here this morning between 8:00 and 10:00. I got a text last night from the guy saying he's got an emergency and couldn't come until tomorrow between 8:00 and 10:00.

    I figured I’m stuck. They’re not doing anything. When I talked to the lady, she said I could call American Home Shield back and see if they could get me somebody that's got more availability. She said American Home Shield said that this company that they assigned me to was the only one available in the area that could come out here and work on this. The water heater is 14 years old. Even though the thing is about to go, American Home Shield won't do a repair now as opposed to waiting till everything floods and breaks my house.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for quite a few years now and this is the second time where I've been annoyed and considered looking for a different company. The first time was when my washing machine went. We waited and waited and waited. The guy that came out here said, “You can't get this part anymore.” American Home Shield kept me waiting for a month for a part with no washing machine. They finally gave in and said it had been backordered for so long, it was not available, and I could have a new washing machine. Finally, after waiting almost a month and not being able to do laundry, I got a washing machine.

    I talked to my neighbor into buying American Home Shield's service ‘cause I had such good luck with them for the most part. She’s got a very high dollar swamp type cooler. She did the claim the first part of last week and the claim got assigned to somebody. That company’s supposed to call her but as of yesterday, they still hadn't.

    With American Home Shield, I go online when I have an issue and ask for a service request. Someone then calls me and there are a couple of contacts a long the way to make sure things are moving along smoothly. My thermostat was shorting out and there was a part in my air conditioning that burned out. I filed a request to American Home Shield and they sent a contractor called Beaches Air Conditioning. The tech from there was very nice and knowledgeable. He replaced my thermostat and we thought that would fix my issues. But then, the next day, the temperature at my house was going up again. It was at 77 and not at 72 like it was supposed to be. We called the guy from Beaches Air back and he was pretty quick about doing that.

    There was a part in my air conditioning unit that had burned out as well as other things that were directional and determined where the air goes inside the house. The tech fixed one problem first and came back to fix the others. I've never had a home warranty so I'm glad that AHS is trying to fix my unit instead of replacing it with something that breaks fairly quickly. I'm pleased with the service of AHS and of Beaches Air.

    For my pool problem, American Home Shield sent out Sutherland. They kept coming out because the furnace kept going out. And every time they would come out, it was the same thing. Come to find out the last time they came out that the whole unit needed to be replaced because it had rotted on the inside. It had rusted out. There were so many hazards. For one, there was a carbon monoxide leak.

    Sutherland came in and they installed the furnace. They then were like, "We're done." They were getting ready to leave and were on their way out the door. I asked if it was working and if I could turn my pool on. They said I needed to get somebody to install the gas line since they didn't do that. I was like, "Okay, so why didn't y'all tell me that? If I would've let y'all go, I wouldn't have known that." I was without a pool for four months. It's a heated pool so I can swim all year round. It was on the fourth month when I got everything done and going.

    Also, they were horrible because I would call them and when I talked to them, they said would get back to me. I would call and call and they wouldn't answer, so I called a private number and they answered. It was like they knew my number and they were avoiding me. But they weren't doing what they were supposed to do. They lied to me too because I called American Home Shield and the rep gave me a confirmation number. She said, "Give this to them if you have any problems." But I told her that every time I called, I was getting redirected back to American Home Shield because Sutherland hasn't heard from them. She told me to write down the confirmation number and to keep it. I did that.

    When I called Sutherland they said they haven't talked to anyone. I said that was not true and that I had the confirmation number. The person told me to give it to her and she said they had that. I asked if they had the okay to go ahead and repair the furnace but she said no because they haven't talked to anyone. I told her that I just got off the phone with someone and they said they talked to Sutherland two days ago. She said, "Well, okay. Well, what do you want me to do?" I wanted them to do their job and get my pool going.

    Veteran Heating & Air Conditioning's technician was phenomenal. I recommend him highly. I was very fortunate to get a great repairman, and who has been with Home Shield for a long time. However, the process is not the best process. Where we live, they don't have any air conditioning and heating companies signed up with Home Shield. So, somebody had to come from another town. I wasn't given the option to be able to call my own people. I even asked to speak to a supervisor and I never got a supervisor to this day.

    I couldn't call anybody local. I saw on Home Shield's website that that can be done, but I couldn't get a supervisor or anybody to tell me how to get that authorized. Say if my AC wasn't working properly and I call a local company, the guy comes out, assesses the situation and he determines what is wrong, and either he fixes it right on the spot with the part he has on the truck or he goes to town and comes right back. That's not the way it works with Home Shield. The technician has to come out and determine what's wrong, and then he has to get authorization to fix it, and he comes out another time to fix the problem. He can't get the problem fixed in the same day the repairman comes out. So, here we are, 100-degree weather. The process that the repairmen have to go through in the customer is really not customer-friendly. We're going to stay with Home Shield because we need the service.

    One of the AC units that we had was not blowing cold air. Optimo Air and Heat called within a couple of hours and we got something scheduled for the next day. They came out and checked the issue. They identified what was going on and they fixed it. A couple of days after, I noticed that there was water leaking from that very same unit. I submitted another claim and the same Optimo Air folks came out and identified the issue. They were able to kinda clean the unit so that it wouldn't leak water anymore. I was pretty satisfied with the way that they came and handled it.

    One thing that I found a little annoying was because I had two AC units, it made it seem like I had to submit a separate claim to get them both checked out. At least that's the perspective that I got from Optimo as they came out, that it wasn't a service check on both AC units because I only had a quantity of one on my claim that they were only contracted to look at one AC unit. That was not very clear. In fact, adding a quantity of two puts another 75 bucks for a service call, when in reality, they just came out once.

    Understanding the coverages like what systems are covered and what systems aren't is pretty important to make sure that you're getting the value. Between the $60 service call to get them out and then whatever repair that they actually did on the system, I still don't think that I'm quite at the value for the years’ worth of warranty, but we're not too far off.

    I had a clogged line that Integrity Air Conditioning Service unclogged. Then, they made two trips out because the lines on my air conditioning keep freezing up on me on the outside and they can't seem to figure out what was wrong. They told me I needed coil cleaning. I can't afford that, so I told them I can't do that right now because they want $700 for it. I told them I got a guy in a church that does air conditioning. He'll probably do it for me at a reasonable rate.

    I've been doing my claims with American Home Shield on my phone. It's pretty easy. As far as my AC claim, they sent me a thing telling me that Integrity would contact me. They were very punctual. I'm still not happy because my air conditioning is still acting up. When Mike came out the first time, he said, "The coils are dirty, but not dirty enough to cause what's happening." It was like on 81 last night when I went to bed again, so I had to shut it off for four hours and wait for it to thaw out.

    Integrity said they're not coming back out now because I won't get the coils cleaned. I'm like, "They're not that bad. Even the guy himself said it." I cannot afford $700 to clean coils. I have a handicapped wife at home that's disabled, and there's lots of her insurance won't cover that I have to buy for her. When a neighbor of mine was telling me about American Home Shield, I'm said, "Awesome. I'll get that just in case I have any problems with my AC, I know I can get it fixed." That way, she'll be able to use it when she needs it when I'm not home. But now, Integrity's telling me they're not gonna come out any more.

    AHS does not cover coil cleaning at all. I'm like, "Well, that's part of the air conditioning unit." And I'm paying good money for this plan. I recorded their commercial on TV, so I keep it on my phone. If I have it on there, it's a legal document. On the commercial, when it shows a person air conditioning going, they said no matter how old or how aged, if they can't fix or find the parts for it, they will replace it. Integrity's been out here four times, and they travel 90 miles to come to my house because they're not local.

    Now, every time the air goes out, my wife has to suffer and sweat. Then she has gotten a breathing machine. I had to call her to tell her what's going on. I told the guy, "I work full-time, but I still can't afford that kind of money." I have a mortgage payment. I was hoping American Home Shield would stand behind it and just replace the thing and get it over with it so they don't have to keep wasting money sending people out and fixing the same problem seven or eight times, a the technician says he doesn't know what's wrong.

    I would recommend American Home Shield to my friends because they've taken care of me so far. I haven't had to pay anything. So far, since I've called, they send people out. So, that part of American Home Shield is good. I just haven't been able to talk to a person each time because everything has to be done online. Usually, I like to call and talk to a person and explain what's going on.

    American Home Shield continuously goes up in price every year. I understand inflation but then when I came in, I got a deal and I've gotten shafted after that. The only way I can change the price is if I change how many things I want serviced. I like the amount of things that AHS services. I also like that they usually get back to me pretty quickly.

    Customers get better service though if they go online. Older people don't like to do things online. Instead, they like to call and talk. AHS doesn't afford older people that because the wait is incredibly long. Usually, I just leave the phone when I'm doing something and wait for somebody to start talking. Most recently, I've done that because I have a contractor that cannot come to my house. Usually, I can't pick contractors with AHS but I like to let them know not to send that contractor to me. They have that written in my record and they have been complying with that.

    The last contractor who came to my house was a plumber with whom I was absolutely upset. That plumber had a 1 rating and I wanted to know why AHS was sending someone to my house that had a rating of one. He didn't know what he was talking about. But, my issue wasn't so much that but the way he and his so-called boss was talking to me. I was offended so I talked to AHS and told them that if those were the kinds of contractors that they keep, then I do not want their services. They did not refund me but said that for my next call, they would eliminate my $75 fee.

    AHS has been accommodating when I'm not happy. Most recently, I've been dealing with their contractor called West End and they have been wonderful, courteous and kind. They get to the problem and get back to me as quickly as they can. They have sent a dishwasher tech and a dryer tech before and I had no problems. With AHS, I've been satisfied except for some encounters where I really wasn't.

    My oven wasn't working right. When you turn it on, you have to keep turning it off, and then turn it back on and off. It would go off, and then you turn it back on and off. The technician from Mojack had to do several things to determine the issue and he had to order two different parts. He replaced the part that was showing as the bad part and then, it still wasn't working right. So, he tried one more thing and when he did that, it kicked in and I haven't had any more problems. I told him he’s a genius. He did an excellent job.

I had an air conditioning thermostat issue and I paid out of my pocket because this is a brand new AC.

    American Home Shield sent Moen Electric out for an electric issue. The guy was great, did a good job, got in and got out and went on his way. He's the ultimate professional. I've had American Home Shield for lots of years. I've seen the co-pay go up quite a bit. Other than that, I tell people all the time that I have nothing but good luck. You hear horror stories with American Home Shield. I have not experienced that. It's all been good. I've had nothing but good success for years. So, I always recommend it to people, especially if they have big old things like refrigerators and air conditioning units and stuff that may go at some point and that's expensive.

    My AC wasn't blowing cold air. I sent a service request to American Home Shield and they said that their contractor will be contacting me. One contacted me saying they wouldn't be able to see me for three or four weeks which is a ridiculous amount of time. That contractor referred me to the ones who normally do the work for me. I called AHS back and the lady rep whom I spoke with said she would try to find a different contractor for me. Their tech from Air Ducts & More came and since then the AC has been the same. It never blew cold air like it has in the past or like I thought it should. I've had good service and responses from American Home Shield. My experience with this claim has been the worst though. All their other contractors did exactly what they needed to do. The one I got was horrible.

    The fridge door was sticking. The walls were caving in. I filled out a thing online and it's simple. It lets you file a claim quick. I did it off my phone. American Home Shield gave me the name of the contractor that would be calling me and I have no problems with the contracting company. They were great. They were fast and came in professionally. However, everything is still bad. They couldn't fix the problem. The equipment has to be replaced. I had to contact American Home Shield five days after the contractor was there because American Home Shield hadn’t contacted me back.

    When I contacted them for the replacement, those were there but it took me five hours to get with someone on the replacement team. After it took me five hours for someone to speak with me, the email with the instructions wouldn't come through. They had to send it a couple times before it did. After that, I'm still waiting for the check to refund me for the equipment I purchased. It's horrible that anyone has to spend five hours on the phone and here we are at almost the end of August and I'm still waiting to get a refund.

    This is the first time I had to call American Home Shield and get a full equipment replacement. Before that, it was a part that had to be exchanged. Again, the contractor was friendly, on time and gave me the right expectation. They told me they didn't have the part they needed. It had to be ordered and it would take a week. It came before the week was over and they were able to install it.

    When we call, we usually get a technician the next day. It has been prompt. The man from Myers that first came out thought he fixed it. Water was coming out the bottom of the part of the AC inside the house and it made a funny noise. The tech took it apart and cleaned it out, and found gunk inside that might have been making the noise, because it has not made the noise since.

    The tech flushed out the line that he thought might have been clogged up, and said that could have been causing the water. But he said it also could be a crack in the pan, and he wasn't sure. He said, "Just watch this and if it continues, it's a crack in the pan." It did continue. We're having the pan replaced now. His first attempt without going straight to the big repair, to hope it was just a clean out job, was good. We had a plumbing problem before this ac problem and my husband forgot that we should go through Home Shield. We called a plumber of our own and he did a terrible job. He recommended Roto-Rooter and that was ridiculous. And then we remembered Home Shield and they sent a plumber who fixed it.

    I had issues with plastic internal mechanisms in my tank which were worn out. Because of that, water wasn't flowing properly. SDL Plumbing was very thorough. The tech had the plastic mechanism needed in his truck and he replaced what I had in less than half an hour. He had his mask on and wore shoe boots and did everything he could to take precautions against the pandemic. Home Shield is world-class. I've used other home services before and they tend to send in Podunk companies to get the cheapest deal but AHS sends in quality companies so they are a great choice.

    It was fairly easy making a claim with AHS. The home warranty was part of my home purchase so my account was not probably been set up yet so I ended up calling them. I talked to a representative and that went fine. They sent out Bestway Mechanical to resolve the issue. Everything's great. AHS has excellent service and the service itself is highly recommended to any homeowner.

    One time, our air conditioner wasn’t cooling and living in Florida, we need the AC. Without American Home Shield, we wouldn't have been able to afford getting it fixed. Getting it fixed was a tremendous help. I filed the claim online and it was user-friendly. The contractors didn't follow through with their timeframe of contacting me and I had to reach back out to them, but then afterwards, I was given a timeframe. A technician then came and he was friendly and knowledgeable. The air conditioner has been great since the repair.
