    The techs came out for my bi-annual tune-up of my air conditioning system. The unit upstairs wouldn't work and they had to order some parts. They came back and put those parts in. They were very polite and professional. They've been doing my work for years and I trust them in my house. I know they'll do what they say. AHS can be difficult sometimes in terms of communicating. Sometimes I have a little problem getting to the right person. But most of the time, they're okay.

    One of the filters in the toilet died and needed to be replaced. It was making a really loud noise every time we flushed it. It had been doing it for years and we didn't realize that it was. We just thought it was part of the house. But it started getting worse. I put in a claim one morning and the plumber came before noon that day. All I had to do was describe the situation and before I could even flush the toilet, he already knew what was the problem. He had the part in his truck. He fixed it and was on his way. Today the sink is clogged and backed up, and we can't run the dishwasher. It just needs to be snaked. But we don't have a sink. American Home Shield is going to send someone tomorrow. It's been very easy to work with them. The people that they've sent out are very professional. It's just that our annual fee keeps going up and the deductible has gone up twice too.

    The main issue was that my furnace went out. Before it could be replaced, the electrical should be properly set up. There was something that warranted an electrician to look at it. The two companies that were used, Peak Performance and 2B Electrical were very responsive. They came out right away and got the information back to American Home Shield. It just took them a little bit of time to approve whatever it was or whatever they needed to do, so there was a little bit of lag time. But all in all, it was a good experience.

    I've had a couple of recent claims in the last month for plumbing. So far, so good. The sink is not leaking and the toilet works normally. AHS is definitely worth the money. It would have cost more than both my monthly fees and the 100 bucks to pay for them to come out. I like the app because it's like Uber and it shows where the contractors are. With other companies I get an eight-hour window. With AHS, at least I can get a better time. When the contractors get here, they're usually in and out. They're respectful and they do what they say.

    I'm very happy with AHS. I did belong with another home warranty company before them and the difference is quite a bit. AHS assigns your case right away to someone. Sometimes it takes a while depending on what's wrong to be fixed 'cause it has to go through the approval process. I do wish that was a little bit faster but I had no issues with any of the repair items I've put in for.

    The dishwasher was not heating up properly. I did a claim online and it was very simple to set up. Then, the guy came out and he was super nice and friendly. He told me that he didn't have the correct part, so he would order the part and get back to me. Everything was really fast. He came back within a week and fixed it. Then, I did something wrong and I thought the dishwasher wasn't working again, so I had him come back out. But it was just a user error and he fixed it right the first time. Everything's running smoothly now and the service was spot-on. I was very pleased with AHS and I will stay a member.

    I was with the technician the whole time he was at the house for the AC check-up. He had a paper thing that he was writing down. Two years ago, they gave me the paper but this time, he said it was digital. But they didn't send me anything. I had to call them twice. They finally sent something, but it was just a quick statement saying the system was working properly and it didn't need repair. It also said that that the system was an older model in fair to poor condition. I'm paying $75 for the gentleman to write down, make sure everything's good, and for him to give me that paper back to me, not a statement. I'm about to sell the house, so I need something to tell the new buyers that everything is working fine.

    The fee to come out and check an AC is about $125 to $150. It could be higher. But American Home Shield is only gonna charge $75 for someone to come out. Then if they don't see that they can fix it, there needs to be a replacement. It sells you a unit instead of paying the whole $8000. We pay a little bit less with it. It makes it look like I'm saving some money.

    My claims in the last month for the plumbing and electric went very well. With the plumbing, I was surprised because I sent the request in the morning and by noon, I was contacted by the contractor. That very same afternoon, they came to see the water damage that I had. The plumber showed me the problem and then having some water damage that I ended up filing a claim for my homeowners insurance. They explained me some parts that I didn't know how to proceed.

    I have had American Home Shield for many years when I've lived in Kansas and moved to New Jersey. When I bought the home, they had a different company but once that contract was over, I came back to American Home Shield. I really recommend it. I value the convenience of knowing someone who knows his stuff is going to come and the timing of the repairs I've had. I assume every contractor group of people that American Home Shield has in their database has been proved and that I can trust the service.

    Victory Heating and Cooling, the company that was contracted to replace the furnace, was wonderful. We were a little worried because we knew that by going through a home warranty, we didn't have a choice in who we get to use. We felt very comfortable with Victory. At one point, someone from American Home Shield called and I could not understand what she was telling me. There was a language barrier. I was trying to get my claim emailed just to eliminate that step. So, there was a day or two when we were in limbo. But Justin from Victory was able to fill us in on everything. In hindsight after talking to Justin, that rep was trying to let me know what we would have to pay for labor and what would be covered. It was just this one hang up but that was a delay getting our unit. But that was not anybody's fault. Using AHS was a great experience.

    AHS can make the claim submission process easier. When I called them to submit a plumbing claim, I had several issues and I wanted to hear them touch on all my issues with it. I had some sewage blockage and a leak behind the washer-dryer. Harvey's Roto-Rootered the sewage blockage and they got it out. But they had to go in my utility room and Roto-Rooter out under the hot water heater. The next day, I went to take a shower and there was no hot water. I went to look and the pilot light was out. I called and asked if they could relight it but they told me it was a completely different issue and that I have to call it in with AHS. For the leak behind the washer-dryer, they tightened the knobs but the plumber had to cut out the drywall for that. He said that he called and AHS said they would come and replace the drywall but I haven't heard a word from them. AHS has to come out and replace that drywall.

    Also, Harvey's didn't solve my other leaks. I called back to tell AHS that. But then, it seemed like AHS didn't transfer all of the requests that I had to the plumbing company. The guy from the plumbing company came out and said, “Oh, I didn't realize you had a bathroom issue too." But he got on the phone with AHS and he fixed it, which is great. He was very polite and very considerate of my stuff.

    We've had two claim experiences with J & M Plumbing and overall, we've been pleased with them. The installs took a little longer but that's predominantly because our house is old and has old parts. They had to track them down to make those fixes. The work has been decent quality and the interactions with J & M have gone well. I have no major complaints and we're thinking about using them for some other plumbing works that we need to do. This time around, they used the apprentice who had been tagging along on the first install. We had him to do this repair for us and he did a good job. He was personable and timely in his installs. We've been able to engage with American Home Shield to take care of the issues that we have. It's a lot more effective than a car warranty. People should purchase the home warranty.

    The contractor did their job well. It would be better if they had everything that you needed done in one service, but it is what it is. They got everything working fine. They swept up the floor from all the things that they pulled out of the dryer and cleaned everything up. Anything that they moved, they put back in place so that it looked like they had never been there. I did think that there was an issue with the dryer after they left because it was still sweating and not drying. But they determined that it was the vent that needed to be cleaned. So I called out a vent guy to come out and clean the vent. Once that was done, it's been working fine ever since.

    I had some issues because American Home Shield's website was not allowing me to do what I was trying to do and it wasn't accepting my sign-in, even though all that stuff works. But they got it fixed. I was able to sign in a couple of days ago and see what was going on. But initially, it took me about a day and then I finally gave up and decided to call. That was when they told me that they were getting other reports like that.

    Aladdin's Plumbing came out for clogged drains. I had to just submit my request through American Home Shield's online portal. And then, all of the communication came via text and through the system. It was fully automated. The tech was very professional. He gave tips and tricks and took time to explain.

    My AC was not cooling my house. Submitting a claim to AHS was fairly easy but my issue has not been resolved. The tech submitted the report stating that the coil had to be taken out of the closet and cleaned. He informed me that it'd be cheaper just to get a new system. So, at this point, nothing has been done. When I spoke to AHS about it, nothing could be done as far as help with the unit goes because it hadn't been serviced. I didn't like that and I will not be renewing my contract. This whole time, I had the peace of mind thinking that I was at least partially covered. To know that nothing will be covered is unacceptable for me. I wouldn't recommend them at all.

    I've had to make a couple of claims over the past 8 years that I've had the contract with AHS. The package that I got is probably a little more comprehensive than some of the others so I kind of didn't hesitate. It's a nice security. Recently, my air conditioner had a cracked pipe. I usually get a text or an email the same night when I make a claim. But it was after five and the company was closed so they didn't call me till the next morning. The tech came in on time and knew exactly what it was. He fixed it and was in and out in about 15 minutes. He was very nice. In retrospect, I probably paid more than I should have for the $75 fee. I could have gotten someone to help me and the pipe fixture was probably $2 but that's not my area of expertise. Being a single mom, it's nice to know that I've got kind of that handyman option available.

    I had a leaking hot water heater. My claim to American Home Shield was received quickly and we had a plumber who replaced the water heater within days. It was an old water heater. It was the end of its life. The plumber was very courteous and very efficient, and he cleaned up his area, so I was pleased. We've had multiple claims to AHS. We live a little bit remote, and so sometimes it's difficult to have someone come out here quickly but all in all, my experiences were favorable.

    My refrigerator quit working on me last Tuesday. It started last Sunday evening. All the food was spoiled. American Home Shield set me up with a guy to take a look at it. He came out and said he couldn't work on it. They don't know the model. My washer had an issue along with my refrigerator. The guy took care of the washer really quickly, checked out my refrigerator and he said, “I don't know anything about this. I'm gonna have to turn it over to somebody else.” He called AHS back. They turned it over to a guy here in the local area. He said, “I'm sorry. It'll be a couple of weeks before I can get to you because I've had a lot of calls.” So, I called AHS again. They turned it over to this other guy that came today. He walked in. As soon as he looked at it, he said, “I'm sorry. We haven't had training on these machines. I can't work on it.”

    I just went to the place where I bought it from, and they gave me the name of a couple of service people that work on KitchenAid. I'm in Mississippi. A lot of people don't work on it. So, I had all my food spoiled. I haven't been able to do anything since last Tuesday but eat out because I can't store nothing. At this point, I wouldn't refer AHS to anybody. It’s been since last Tuesday, and I can’t get anything done. It’s irritating because I'm spending a lot of money I don't have to spend, but I have no choice. Before they call someone and work on something, they should see if they're qualified to work on an issue.

Then in one of my secondary bathrooms, the valve was also leaking on the toilet. He replaced the line and the on-off switch as well. Whenever we've called with an issue, American Home Shield would send the representatives to come out and it’s been taken care of. My only issue is the timing on some of the items. Like last year, it took about a week for the part of the AC to come in and for it to be replaced. This time with Myers, it took approximately about a week before they could come out and take care of the issue. Other than that, everything is seamless so far.

    Submitting a claim is difficult when there's a language barrier. When we're trying to hold conversations and get things understood, and it's not being understood because of the language barrier, it just makes things much more frustrating. Recently, we had a guy come out because there was a small leak reported. He started to work on it. He then told us that it was getting worse and he had to go back out to his truck and get some more tools. Then he came back claiming that he was getting shocked severely and we needed to have an electrician come out before he could do anything. He left half of our house without water. Then we didn't know if our furnace was broken or what. It took us forever to figure out. We finally realized that he had turned our furnace off and never checked back in with us at all. It was in the winter and it was freezing. We called the office, and he was supposed to be their best plumber.

    We called American Home Shield back and they were saying it's an issue of another $100. We said we’ll pay it and they just get someone out. The electrician came and he found out that there were no live wires. In the meantime, American Home Shield canceled the claim because the guy who initially came out from Whitney alleged that it was from pipes freezing. Usually, when pipes freeze and bust, they don't have any water pressure. We saw water pressure. It was just there was an issue, which he made worse. So then we called American Home Shield back to get a second opinion. The guy came and assessed it and said it was not from frozen pipes. It was from a previous repair. Meanwhile, the leak has gotten worse, and we have no water now because we have to intermittently turn it on and off when we want to use it because the leak is that bad. We're just stuck. AHS should find another company.

    I was having an issue with my water heater. I have a Takagi T-K1S water heater and I kept getting an error code 21 for a while, I've contacted the manufacturer before and he said it was due to blowback pressure and they've suggested some actions previously. I told them it's still giving me an issue. I had noted a darkening spot on the computer board and I had previously replaced it back when we first purchased the house in 2018. I'd invested enough money into repairing this water heater that I didn't feel comfortable putting more money into it without having a professional come out and look at it because maybe it needed replaced. So, I put in the claim to American Home Shield.

    Somebody came out. They said, "Oh, yeah, it's this error code." Using sandpaper, they scored the two little metal prongs for the igniter up above the burner. I wasn't having any kind of issue for about two hours. So, "Hey, your hot water's running, you're getting rated flow. Hey, it's fixed." After that two hours, by dinnertime that day, I was getting an error code three because they had also adjusted the DIP switches on it. Error code three is wrong gas. I had to contact Takagi's technical support. They showed me how to adjust the DIP switches so that those were correct, forwarded me the directions to properly take the procedures to address the backpressure, which included removing, degreasing, rinsing, and drying the burner element itself, and then scoring the igniter elements.

    So, these guys didn't use technical support, which was free and easily accessible. They said they would need to have called them, said they would need to follow up but they did not. They just said, "Oh, this is normally what may cause the issue." When I called them and said, "Hey, I'm still having issues." There was no response back until the following Monday when I was like, "I need to get this fixed." I spent the weekend trying to sort it out. I got it resolved Sunday. When they called me Monday morning, they were like, "So it's fixed? Okay, have a good day." I said, "Hold on. Yeah, I fixed it. You were paid to come fix it, you failed to, and you're telling me 'Have a good day'." The person I spoke with said, "Well, at least it got done. Well, it's fixed." I'm like, "No, you didn't fix it. That's the problem. I want my money back." They said it was up to the warranty company.

    So, I called AHS and put in a complaint about it. They gave me $50 back on it. This contractor was a bad one. The one that I put in for the air conditioning came out and I understand what they said. They couldn't do the work that was requested because, as I understood it from the contract, the AHS contract is kind of a gray area as to what they can do. More specifically, I've got a vent duct, a supply, send cold air, send warm air from the heat package unit to this opening. This opening happens to be improperly lined up because it's the exhaust from our range hood. And that's not their fault. That is the initial contractor from back in 2007 that installed it wrong. Now, everything that comes out of the range hood gets blown into the supply ducts for everywhere else in the house.

    So, they didn't feel comfortable doing the work. "Hey, we're not comfortable. We're not certain about this. So, we're going to have to back out. This was installed this way. It's not like it broke or it came apart. So, we can't really touch it." That was their interpretation of the contract with AHS. I said, "That's unfortunate for me, but I get it. I have my own business, so good on you guys. Thank you very much." I felt that was professional.

    When we first bought our house in 2007, we had an AHS for a year on it. We had a plumbing issue, and AHS sent someone who took care of it, and it worked out great. The only thing is I need to understand the limitations of the contract and what is supposed to be able to be worked on a little clearer. I'd tell others, "Just make sure you read the contract so that you know the conditions that meet the criteria to have it covered under the warranty."

    When I’ve needed American Home Shield, they’ve been there. Every once in a while, I’ve had some trouble with the website but for the most part, it's easy. If it’s just a regular claim, the timeframe is usually very clear. On a deal like this where there were so many claims being filed all over, they were as precise as they could be. A contractor came to work on my heating unit which died during the freezing temperatures. They were very good and courteous. They explained what was going on and cleaned up after themselves. I appreciated them.

    My only complaint through the whole thing was a mix up. I had told them that it was a propane heater and somewhere the wires got crossed. The connection kit that was ordered by American Home Shield was for a natural gas heater. When the contractor came out to put it in, they didn’t have all of the correct equipment. It was still another two weeks before they got back with the correct connection. I still didn't have any heat through the next freeze spell but it wasn't nearly as bad.

When I looked at what they've done, I didn't believe they brought my unit up to code, which they said they would have to do. That was a really bad experience and that particular issue almost made me cancel the service. But this last visit, I just liked the quick turnaround of Astro Appliance and I appreciated that.

It was a great experience with the techs. The guys were punctual. They called me like they said they were gonna do. They had all the products they needed. There were two of them and they both tackled the issues and got the job done correctly. They cleaned up after themselves, were professional and very polite too. People need to get AHS if they don't have it because it's a lifesaver. My husband is away a lot. I can't do some things so I can just call and get somebody like this. It may have been minor, but it was major for me.

    We had a type of newer heating system and it was supposed to kick on automatically when it gets to a certain amount of degrees. Here in Texas, if it gets under 40, it's supposed to kick in automatically and it didn't. I did a service request to American Home Shield. The thing is I hadn't paid in a while. When they said that you make the payment, everything would kick in right away. But what was not told to me was that it would be $100 for the service, which we didn’t find out till after I paid. I was gonna pay anyway. It just would have been nice to know that up front.

    The guys who came were very professional. It was like I knew these guys. We talked while they were doing the service because they came with their supervisor. The only thing was, when I made the service, the time got mixed up because I was looking for them to come at a certain time. Then when the time passed, I called. They came later. They were probably backed up from calls because there was a lot going on for that week. But other than that, it wasn't a big problem at all.

    Right now, I'm having an issue with the card that was on file, which was the first card. It doesn't work anymore. But it's still on file. So, when they typed it in, it said declined when I know I have money in there. It's like an issue because I think they need to tell me, "Okay. You need to take this card off. We can't use this card anymore because you hadn't paid payments in a few months. And now that this card set on file that we can't use this card anymore." They're not telling me the reason why it's declined. American Home Shield is great. I love it. It's just that I wish we can just get this part resolved. I recommend anybody to get American Home Shield.

    I don't like the answering machine when you call in and claim. I've only used American Home Shield twice. The first time was a couple months ago for my garage door spring. When I called it in, I didn't get a chance to tell them it was the spring. They just figured it was my garage door opener. And there was nobody to talk to, to say, “It's not the opener. It's the spring.” They could have said, “Well, that's not covered,” and saved everybody a big hassle. But we had to jump through hoops. That part of it, I don't like. But other than that, it has been good so far. AHS lowers the price anytime. Recently, the furnace was smelling. It was burned up. The contractor replaced the blower on the furnace. The tech took it all apart, looked and did what he had to do. He did a good job.

    My heat pump went bad. A tech came and said the compressor was bad. I asked if it was covered. He looked at what was covered under the insurance and what was not. That was when he told me that my compressor was covered but I would have to pay for the Freon. American Home Shield only covers up to $10 per pound so I had to pay the difference. He then said he had to order a part and then they can have it in two weeks. He later did the replacement. Things worked out well. I also did a rekey with American Home Shield and that was cool.

    We had a problem with our dishwasher. The technician that came out was able to evaluate it. He had to order parts. The part actually got in after about six days, but they had plenty of time to make sure that the part would get in before they returned. And so, we had about another week or so of part in the house but no repair, without the dishwasher. Then he was able to return and install the parts. The dishwasher has worked fine and cleaned better than ever.

    There's one that they have not been able to wrestle. We have a refrigerator freezer and the icemaker apparently has a manufacturing defect that causes it to ice up or do some leaking into the freezer section and it causes the freezer door to start to bulge with time. They've been out four times to work on that and have not been able to get it right yet. The last guy out got it and it functioned well for about three months. Now, it's back doing what it has always done, so it's a recurring issue that has not been fixed. Although, whoever came out last time was able to band-aid it better, but it's still a problem. My guess is that it is a manufacturing problem. Other than that, it was fine. The person was courteous, professional, COVID-safe, and did the job. He got in and out, and cleaned up after himself.

I called American Home Shield to open a claim and it was easy. They helped fix the problem too. It was quick. The repair people were on time and very polite. They explained everything good. They put a new rod in the water heater and that was supposed to help fix the chemical reaction that was happening in the tank that was giving me all the crud and smell.

    Word to the wise... NEVER get a home warranty. Save your money and set aside for future home repairs. Trying to deal with a company who reads from a script and won't transfer you to someone who has a clue or at least will try to help you when pregnant is not advised lol. I bought the largest plan through American Home Shield which for this specific complaint and purpose states it covers our air conditioner and ductwork. We have an air conditioner from circa 1996 that even Helen Keller can see needs to be replaced along with a house of elderly pups and a pregnant mama who can not stand hot days.

    They sent a company out twice who agreed with us and said yes it's too old and needs to be replaced. After not receiving a call from either for 4-5 days I call to get the status and they said, "Call back by tomorrow, we are awaiting approval and then you move forward with the company." The next day I call and they tell me it's been approved for a "NEW SYSTEM" and I asked what would be out of pocket and they said only the modifications they mentioned (which this tech never came in the house or looked at ductwork or anything mind you lol)...

    Moving forward... My husband asks for a copy of the tech's report to see what we need to pay and they send us an email that looks like a 5 year old wrote describing 3 parts but not the system itself. So my husband calls and they said, "Yeah we will be replacing parts, not the system and then you would owe up to 2200$." "What!? Not what we were told at all?" So back to speaking to someone who has no clue what's going on and their main job is to frustrate you to the point of canceling or letting it go.

    We ask again for a report sent to us in a professional typed manner from said company and that ductwork is included in the contract they gave us. The gentlemen on the phone now tells us, "Well you could just cash out and use your own contractor but you would get no more than 500 or 600$." We ask to speak to someone higher up and that we are not happy with his knowledge or lack thereof and he keeps asking if we want to cash out.

    Now backtrack to November 2020 when they raised my policy by about 15-20$ a month bc "local contractors raised their prices". I've paid in 2 years over the price of a new system and have had zero claims or anything repaired or replaced by them only my price raised and their said contractors on the list said they did NOT raise prices in years. At this point wanting to swipe my hair to the side and Karen everyone involved I call back and demand a call back by a manager and tell them I am leaving honest reviews of my experience in as many places as possible along with calling the Better Business Bureau and canceling my account which is definitely happening after all of this mess and they somehow figure out how to contact a manager and I'm awaiting a call as we speak.

    We started this claim at the beginning of March and have not gotten anywhere. Moral of the story to all you new couples or anyone buying a new home... read the reviews of warranty companies' ability or lack thereof to actually complete a claim! Save your money and do it yourself and research prices before you use a company because they will try to use your lack of knowledge on the matter to get as much from you as possible.

    We had American Home Shield for a year when we first moved in. Then everything was breaking in this house. We didn't know who else to go with and we figured it would be easiest to go with them since we already knew them, and we didn't have a whole lot of time to research other companies so we decided to renew the contract with them. Sometimes, when we call to submit a claim, it'll all be just electronic and it's frustrating because we can't talk to somebody to make sure that we're submitting it correctly and that the whole problem is going to be addressed. Then, sometimes we'll get somebody on the phone who just doesn't know what's really going on, and there's a communication barrier. They can't understand us, we can't understand them and sometimes, it's okay. It all depends on luck of the draw.

    Then it’s hard to get ahold of the contractors. Sometimes, we get pushed aside because they don't like dealing with American Home Shield and how long it takes American Home Shield to pay out the claim. We get different attention than upfront-paying customers, versus going through the warranty company. Warranties have to have contracts with companies. It would be nice if we could use our own contractors and be reimbursed. One, they know the home better and they know what you're dealing with. Also, it's a comfort level and you build a relationship with them. That would be helpful. Plus, it's easier to get a hold of the contractor. Then the amount of time for reimbursement needs to be better.

    When our hot water heater went out, we seriously went over three weeks with no hot water because they were shopping around for the best price of a hot water heater. I have young kids and it was cold outside, so it wasn't an ideal situation. Then, they had it sent to the wrong location and I couldn't call them to see where it was sent because they wouldn't release any information to me as I didn't order it, American Home Shield did. That was a pain and really frustrating.

    The customer service needs to be a little more knowledgeable of the company and be able to determine if something's an emergency situation versus non-emergency. We had a problem with a gas leak and they said it's emergency and that somebody will be dispatched out within 12 or 24 hours. That went three days. I called every single day asking what is going on. Nobody called me back and nobody’s coming. They said since it’s an emergency, the contractor's supposed to reach out to me and I asked for the contractor’s information. So, if they're calling about a situation that's an emergency, it's not treated as an emergency.

    Recently, we had to call 911 because we were awakened early in the morning from our carbon monoxide detectors. The fire company determined it was coming from the furnace upstairs. I initially called the gas company that I used to fill my propane to make sure we didn't have a gas leak. They came out and determined that we did not have it, but found that there was an issue with the furnace upstairs. I called our home warranty company to let them know that we needed somebody to come out so they dispatched Fick’s Mechanical.

    When the guy came out, he was very nice. But he didn't see a problem with the furnace. It seems to be running fine. However, since the fire company was here, he'd just condemn the unit, so I didn't know if he really even looked at it. Then I asked him to check the unit downstairs as well just to make sure that there was nothing going on with that one as well. He also said that one seems to be fine. But I've had my gas company out here now three times because of possible issues with my furnace downstairs. It was leaking propane.

When I saw in an email that they were going to do it on a one-time basis, I went to get one of our units, the one that controls the upstairs, checked out. My other one that handles the air and heat for downstairs took a dump on me about two months ago and I had to get it replaced. The techs who came out were really friendly. The other guy stayed down then the young guy went up on the roof and did the thing. They were talking back and forth towards any findings, then they said that everything was good. All in all, I've been AHS for a couple of years and I like that they cover everything that they say they're going to.

I've been waiting for them to call me back and they haven't, and it's been over a week. The microwave is still broken and I would like for it to get fixed or replaced. It was our understanding that our kitchen appliances were covered. Never did I think that the oven and refrigerator are but the microwave isn't. That doesn't make sense to me.

    Overall, AHS has been beneficial. I have been completing my claims. They fixed my faucet and replaced our water heater.

    The service through American Home Shield took a little longer because they had to get another water heater. Other than that, it was fine. The person that did it was good. I cancelled AHS once because I got very upset with them. My plumbing was down the whole house. I couldn't use the sink and the toilets. It was on a Friday and it was like 3:00 in the afternoon. I didn't expect anybody to get out here that day, but I thought, "I had to have somebody out." I couldn't even stay in the house. It was summer. They said they couldn't get anybody out until the following Wednesday. That was not gonna work. I wasn't going to stay in a hotel until Wednesday to get my plumbing fixed.

    So, I called somebody out that came out that evening and fixed it for me. It cost me $300 to get it fixed, but it was fixed. I couldn't live in the house without it. That was what ticked me off. Evidently, AHS had set up an appointment for somebody to come out the following Wednesday and my daughter called and cancelled it. I didn't think she cancelled it and I cancelled it again. I ended up getting billed $200 for that, and I was like, "I never got the service. I cancelled it." It was really frustrating.

    I got to thinking about it and I got the service again. It's not like I didn't like the service prior to that, and then I had a problem getting my dryer fixed because they couldn't get the part in. But that wasn't their fault necessarily. It took me almost two weeks to get my dryer fixed because they didn't have the part for it. They couldn't get it right away, but I can live without a dryer.

But the American Home Shield warranty was part of my stellar credit from my house. So price-wise, that was the best option. The contractor I got was really responsive. There was a little hiccup getting the water tank on the day they thought they were going to get it but the techs just came the very next day and it was fine. AHS also serviced the blower for my furnace. They fixed that for the service fee. AHS is the only way. It's a good service to me and it's been very helpful. Their website looks nice too. It's easy to navigate.

    American Home Shield's claims process can be difficult at times. There were other claims that I had to cancel because it was more of an emergency situation, but it took too long for somebody to come out. For example, my heat wasn't working this winter. Apparently, unless it's under 30 degrees, it's not an emergency. But I have an elderly person in our house so I needed heat. I ended up having to cancel that claim and paying somebody to come out and repair my system because of the amount of time that it was taking. It's fine now. But I had to pay out of pocket for that. Recently the garbage disposal was leaking and the contractor came out five days after submitting the claim. Everything went well with the technician. Very professional.

    I submitted a claim on the 13th, and I still haven't seen a technician. I reached out to the company and they're supposed to be coming today. But that process was really convoluted. When submitting a request, they don't always put the phone number in, I need to check. Then, I have to log back in to find out the name of the company. That's ridiculous. When I submit the claim, my text message should include the name of the company and their phone number.

    Most of the time, the technicians that come out are pretty good. But they seem very concerned about making sure that they don't do anything that would be too much. One time, I had a claim where the wall was completely wet because a pipe behind it had leaked. We removed the wall because it was a mold issue. When the technician came out and just fixed the pipe that was cracked. We asked who will fix the drywall. He said that since we removed it, it won't be getting fixed. I told him that he couldn't access the pipe without removing the drywall. He kept saying that we removed it. First of all, how was I supposed to know what the issue was without doing that? It was so decayed and wet and we just pushed a hole to figure out what was going on. Then, all this water came out. Now, he was telling me that. That annoyed me with American Home Shield.

Because we were given no uncertain circumstances as teachers. “Don't you be absent. We have zero subs for you.” On Saturdays, AHS hunts down a company. And the electrical guy came by on a Saturday for me. He did the lights thing for my front porch lights. One was having problems. The tech was professional. Got it done. With COVID and AHS coming through, I'm impressed with AHS now. They are trying hard now after their little dive they took six years ago.

    The washer wouldn't drain and spin. A-1 came out and was super professional. The guy was great meeting the dog and doing his stuff. Everything was fine. He said that the problem was the drum and the transmission but I heard from American Home Shield that they don't make them anymore type of deal. So, we chose to take the cash they offered, which hasn't arrived. And then, we bought another washer. I took a picture of the receipt and sent it to AHS at their email.

    We have used AHS three times now. We bought a house recently in Nevada and the appliances were here. The first time that we used AHS, the guy came out and fixed the dryer. It's working great. The second time, the icemaker in a new refrigerator and the washing machine stopped within one day of each other. So, we waited a little while to see what was going on with AHS. I was without a washer for 12 days. But we could have bought one sooner. We were waiting to go through the insurance, so to speak, paperwork. But AHS was the first service company that we've ever had in our lives. The seller paid it for a year. But the $550 for all the appliances in your house, the $75 service call, and they are able to fix it when they come, I would highly recommend their company. And we're going to make sure that we continue next year. It would be $550 well-spent.

I had another plumbing issue and the guy that came out was nice. He told me some extra things about the garbage disposal and he fixed it. It was something I could have done from Home Depot for $5, but I paid $100 to have him do it. That was not the first time I've had somebody come out and pay them $100, but it was a two second job.

    It was a long time getting my hot water heater fixed. It was two months. American Home Shield ended up having to replace it. But the techs worked through different things that could possibly be wrong. They would come out one week and flush it, and then the next week, they did some diagnostic. Then they waited three weeks for some parts. Then the parts didn't fix it. So, they waited another week or two for the hot water heater. Then they put that on. That worked three days. Then all the electricity went off in that area. I had the electrical guy come, and I was gonna have the plumbing come. The plumber didn't want to come when the electrical guy was here, and got in a disagreement on the phone with those two. The plumber never came back, and the electrical guy fixed it. He was fine. He was trying to fix it. He wanted the plumber there so they could work together too, but the plumber wouldn't.

    When the plumber was on the phone, the owner was acting pretty condescending. Before that, the plumbing company had been very nice to work with. They were just not getting anything done because of the warranty company. So, it was not a very good experience with no hot water for seven weeks in the middle of an epidemic. We have a nurse that works with COVID, so it was not good.

    Overall, the service did save me money. So it's whether you want to put up with all that to save you money. My electrical started acting up at the same time. The first electrical people couldn't help me. But the second electrical guy that came out got that working, and it's been working since. So, I've been happy about that. That electrical guy really took some time.

    From what the plumber did, everything seems to be fine. I also noticed that the pressure from the water flow reduced a little bit so I think the problem was fixed. Initially, I had a pipe that was leaking water. Apparently, the pipe had a valve that was loose. It's only supposed to release pressure but the water was leaking through that. When the plumber came in first, he cut off the pipe and closed the pipe so there was no opening which increased the pressure when I was doing laundry and the machine was just jumping around. When they came back, they replaced the valve behind the laundry machine. They put it back to the way it was, put in a new valve and replaced the valve from the main water.

    When Tim, the service manager from the T Mayes Plumbing company, explained everything, everything made sense to me, like why I needed to replace the valve. But somebody from American Home Shield should have called me to explain these things to me 'cause I had no idea what was going on with the pipe. Nobody from American Home Shield called me to at least tell me what was covered and what was not. I'm still thinking if I should continue with them 'cause if there is no proper communication of reaching customers and explaining to people what's going on, then there's no need to pay money. I've called people constantly for two almost two weeks. I have to follow up but yet I'm paying money. That's not fair.

If I ever have to file another claim for an appliance that he can fix, I would definitely request that he come back out.

    Before the repair, we could wash our laundry but we couldn't dry it. We had to go to the laundromat. Now, it's much more convenient having a functioning dryer in the house.

That's why I keep re-upping every year. Recently, my furnace was making a loud noise, and it seemed to be going through filters more quickly. Even though it was near the end of the season when we would need it, I thought it best to get it checked out. Fast Response first looked at it and they didn't see anything jumping out at them, but when they dug into it a little bit, they were able to find the issue. They also explained to me preventative things I could do going forward.

    American Home Shield is a good company all around. When I submit a claim through the computer, it's easy. The site essentially walks me through the process including what the appliance might be and what the issue is with the piece of equipment. It then sends me to payments. Soon after, I would get an email or a text. It would tell me which vendor would be coming out to do the fix. It's fairly simple.

    All the techs that have come out told me exactly what they were doing, “This is why it does this,” “Have you ever had an issue with this," “Try this,” or “Give us a call.” The second time where a tech came out, it was the same thing. He told me whatever he could figure out was wrong with the unit and threw what he believed was wrong with it, why it might be doing what it did, and what I can do if it happens again prior to calling for service.

    One contractor was I had was Sigmond Plumbing and they came out twice. The first time was because two toilets weren't flushing and had to hold the lever down for the entire flush. The technicians fixed those issues. They replaced the floats and the mechanism. The second time Sigmond came out was because my water heater was not lighting even though I followed all the protocol and directions. There was another plumbing company that came out previously in October for the unit. I was happy to see that it wasn't them coming out when I put in my service order. Sigmond is a much better company.

    Those guys were quick. The first time they came in, they assessed the situation, got the job done, and were gone within 15 minutes. The second time was the same thing. It wasn't rushed and they did their job well. The tech for the water heater went through the protocol and saw that the status light was flashing and it was throwing a code. But he said it looked like the unit cleared itself. He turned it off again just to make sure that it was working then turned it back on again and it stayed lit. It’s been lit since Monday. It seems to be working okay so far. Overall, I would use American Home Shield again.

    I’ve been with Home Shield for about 30 years, and with the way things are run, the company should go bankrupt. I've had two different claims recently on two different properties. I have a house in North Carolina, and one day, I got to kidding around with my son that the prices on the houses have gone up so high and that they're selling so fast that I should take and put the house up for sale. I'd called up to have my refrigerator repaired because it wasn't working. Home Shield said they'd send somebody out. That fella couldn't come out for a week or so, and then it got even longer. Then when he came out to repair the refrigerator, it was gonna be three more weeks before the parts got there.

    My sons were kidding around about how fast houses are selling. I bought a sign from Lowe's. My son happens to still be at the house and he said a friend of his called and was asking about the house. So, he said, “Well, we won't put the sign up today.” The fella didn't get the house. So, we put the sign up. The next day, by 10 o'clock in the morning, the house was sold. The man that bought it took the sign up. In the meantime, I'm not too worried about the refrigerator working.

    Now, it takes over a month to get the refrigerator finished. Then they said it's gonna cost too much after the man's worked on it for about eight hours. Home Shield said they're gonna send me a check for like $1,900. I told the people that were buying the house, “The refrigerator’s gonna be repaired because it's got a American Home Shield policy on it.” In the meantime, it's taking so long to repair the refrigerator. Now, they say it won't work. I told them, “I'll just take $2,000 off, then go to buy another refrigerator.” The refrigerator cost like 3,000. Home Shield is not giving me the amount of money. Then they tell me they're gonna send me a check.

    I've been going through it with them because I can't talk to these people in the Philippines, China or Japan. Most of the time, I have to almost hang up on them. I've asked for a supervisor. I get them. I get disconnected. It is absolutely the pits normally trying to get it done. However, at my other house that I put the policy on, they've come out to fix the refrigerator and the air conditioner. Everything has been absolutely fine with that going on. But to talk to them and to hold on the phone for 45 minutes an hour, then get disconnected, to talk to somebody that can't understand English practically, it's really not worth it. I have four policies with Home Shield. It's probably time to change and go to the other companies that advertise on TV every day and see if they can do a better job of getting out or answering the phone.

    The plumber checked on our toilets. One of them was actually broken and the other one was as leaking and was not flushing well. They were supposed to check the leakage too. In one of the toilets, we have the blue stuff that goes in. So when the plumber finished, he cleaned it up and then we mopped and everything. I used it the other day and noticed that blue stuff in the toilet was on the floor again. The rep said that if we had any more issues, we should make sure that we reach out to them. So, that was what we did. They are supposed to come out today, but they haven't been here.

    Two techs came out to check our AC and they arrived early. They were both very nice, professional, and quick. They finished up their work and one of them explained everything to me. He had me sign the receipt for everything. But that service was just a check. I had to log another request to have somebody come out and actually look at the AC and fix it. I have contacted the second company to go ahead and order the coil piece that needs to be replaced. I've already gotten the quote through the home warranty on what our out-of-pocket will be for the Freon.

    I'm a little disappointed with our coverage. We've gotta do $615 out of pocket to cover what the warranty doesn't. Our service with American Home Shield is coming up two years. We renewed after the first year because it seemed like a good plan and it was affordable. Also, we were getting ready to list the house for sale so it was going to be a transferable warranty. We ended up not selling last summer so we will continue to have this warranty for whoever the buyer may be.

But American Home Shield have you pay the deductible up front and that's a little off-kilter. The other company I was with for many years, it was pay once the third person got here. Also, you have to be in that warranty with American Home Shield for a limited time before you can file a claim.

The young man who came in was very helpful and he went right to work. He examined the furnace, said that he wasn't really sure what was going on but the connection was not being made between the furnace and the compressor. The compressor was coming on, but there was no airflow coming out when he turned on the air conditioning. So he said that all he did was tighten a couple of things. So far, I haven't tried the air conditioning again it hasn't been warm enough. He was great though and I'm assuming that it will work again when it gets warmer.

    The contractor was dispatched because of a problem that we were having with our heating. We thought the unit was damaged. The guy came out, took a look at it, and determined that it wasn't the actual heater. He said that if it was related to the ducts, we had to put in another request for it. Which was a little bit of an annoyance, but I can understand. It probably gets billed a different way. But I was a little disappointed that they couldn't have taken care of it on the same order. So we wound up having to pay twice for two visits that turned out to be something related to the ducts.

    I usually call in and submit my claims since it's easier for me that way. I know that we were able to do them online but I have questions sometimes. American Home Shield explained the policy to me and I understand that. But it seems really wasteful and a little expensive. I had to pay 79 bucks the first time the guy came out and he basically did nothing. Then the second time he came out, he screwed around with vents and the ducks. Apparently, that was what the issue was. I'm a little confused because I don't know how it can be the ducts because the unit itself kept shutting off. But the guy fixed it. So the end result was we got it taken care of.

    Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with American Home Shield. I've never used a home warranty before. But the people at American Home Shield have been really helpful. They've explained the limitations of coverage. They've explained to me what I needed to do. They were the ones who discovered the problem with the previous homeowner not doing the coverage, which was nice. If I hadn't been aware of it, we could have gotten past the 60 days that we could add to the coverage. The previous homeowner bought the cheapest home warranty and it didn't include the appliances. So I had to call back and I made the extra payment to cover pretty much everything that we could.

    We’re satisfied with the coverage so we're going to be extending it when it comes up for renewal in November. American Home Shield did tell me that they had a change to the roofing clause. Apparently, that's going to be offered again but in a different manner. So I'm looking to get that added to the coverage just to be safe. It's really comparatively cheap to what we would have to do otherwise. They told me to wait until that whole system gets implemented because they're in the process of change right now. Then once it does, I can request the roof coverage as a separate option.

    I called for a dishwasher issue because the dishwasher wasn't draining. A tech came out and found that he needed to put a new motor in the dishwasher. Once he did that, he tried starting up the dishwasher and found out that the knockout valve of our garbage disposal, which we had installed three weeks ago, was not knocked out so the water was backing up into the tube. This was what caused the backup in the dishwasher and the motor to burn out.

    The tech said it was an easy fix and that he could knock it out right there. But American Home Shield didn't want him to do that because it was a different appliance than the dishwasher. That was odd. I had to call back again and make another claim for the garbage disposal. A second tech came, grabbed a screwdriver, hit the knockout valve with a wrench, and it popped out. American Home Shield couldn't let the first guy do that but they went ahead and charged me another $100 to have somebody else come out and do it. I was a little perturbed about that. Other than that, both techs were extremely knowledgeable.

    You submit stuff online, then the company that is assigned contacts you within 24 hours or less, usually less. That's one of the main reasons we got this warranty program when we bought our house. And even though it might be more expensive than the programs you can get through your electric company, they cover way more. It's worth the cost. It's so easy and streamlined. It has been wonderful.

    Recently, we would put in a load and the dryer would work. But if we had back-to-back loads, as soon as we put in a new one, the dryer would not start. And it would take at least an hour or two hours for it to start again. The technician discovered that it was a motor issue, so he replaced the motor. Ever since then, it works fine. It just has some squeaking, which the guy thought would hopefully go away because it was a new motor, but it hasn't. I have been meaning to check on my claim to see if it was 30 days old or not for the warranty period. Otherwise, I was planning to submit a new claim, that even though it was replaced and everything is working great, it’s just this horrible squeaking sound that you can hear throughout the house. But it works. That's what I care about. Especially now with COVID, it has to work.

    The tech was wonderful. He has been here before because we previously had a claim. It was a year before that that we had a claim where the washer wouldn't do anything. It would turn on, but it wasn't turning, so he had to replace a belt. Sometimes, with the claims I've made, there have been new companies. But it was the same company and that was wonderful that it was the same company and the same people. They had our history. They knew what they had already replaced before, and what they might need to do.

    I have always been happy with our American Home Shield coverage. Even if my husband might complain about my cost, I tell him all the costs make it worth it. We had to just pay that $100 deductible. We got a brand new washer because it was beyond repair. And that would normally be a few $1,000 that we didn't have at the time. But we had $100. I told my husband it’s better to slowly pay for these things because you never know when something’s gonna happen.

    Access Appliance fixed the icemaker that was not working. The tech was perfect. I had another claim on the air conditioning unit and that was terrible. It took the contractor five times to fix it over a period of over six months. I had to pay almost $2,000 which is above paying American Home Shield. I'm not too happy about that and I still am not sure why I had to pay the extra amount of money. I think that I got ripped off by the people.

    At first, they sent me freon so I paid for it. That was back in December. Everything worked fine but it kept on shorting out. In January or February, I placed another call. They came out and I had to pay $445 for a compressor that apparently was not covered and some other reasons that the lady clearly explained to me. I'm still in disagreement that I had to pay the $445. A week later, on a Thursday, the unit again had an issue. They showed up Monday and said it needed a coil. They said it was going to cost me $900 to replace that part which is not covered.

    They're very nice but I have to wait 40 minutes to get a real person each time I call American Home Shield. You call the regular line and and it asks you for your zip code. You put in your zip code then it says it's an invalid zip code. When I have 40 minutes to get a real person who sounds like he’s in the Philippines to give me a blah, blah, blah response, I’ll pass on that ‘cause that’s a waste of time.

    When we bought the house, I created an American Home Shield account on the website. I have my information there, the information. We received a message saying that the agent who connected us to AHS took care of connecting the house registration. The first year was paid, then after the first year, we started paying monthly. Almost all the services have been great. American Home Shield works with contractors, and sometimes, the technicians or the way they react might be an issue. I had two experiences that didn't go well and they didn't know how to follow up until we had to hire another person to come and fix the issue. We called and they did the evaluation for the AC that was broken. That was in the middle of the summer, and then the temperature was going up and we have two kids in the house. Nobody was calling us. After six weeks, I was like, "How can a technician come?"

    When I called, the lady asked me if I have money to pay for the material that is to be changed. I said, "What?" She said, "I know you don't have $2,000 to pay for it." I said, "Do you know who I am? How can you judge? You don't even know me. How can you estimate that I can't pay for a service?" I was asking, “Why do you have to pay $2,000 to change something in the AC?” I was so frustrated. I told her, “That's not right. You can't tell me that you know that I don't have $2,000. You don't even know me. You don't know what I'm doing. So how can you judge me based on that?” I have never seen that contractor since today and his material is still out here in our house. The technician we called came and broke the seal. The man sealed it so that nobody else can come and work.

    With that one, I got mad. I told that lady that they should remove the, “We care,” on the website because that shows that there's no care. They're only interested with money. We called another technician, and it is fixed. We continued with AHS because other services were so good and I said that, "This is probably an issue with the technician, not American Home Shield." I didn't consider it as a big problem.

    I was really mad at them that they couldn't send four weeks. I had to call and ask why the technician wouldn’t come and after four weeks, there was no feedback. That was when the lady said there was $2,000 to buy one material, and she was asking me to pay on the phone while I was talking with her. I said, "You can't ask me to pay you $2,000 from my phone, I don't even know who you are." She said, "No, call American Home Shield. Ask them." I called and I did it. I paid for the services, took all the pictures and sent it back to them. For the service, they were asking us $2,500. We did it at $700. That is almost three times the amount of money they were trying to squander from my pocket. I had the money to pay, but I noticed that there was something wrong.

    Everything has been going so well apart from that. People just need to know that things are happening the right way. For me, the right way was that I don't deal with technicians. I can call AHS, pay online $75 to book the service, and if the technician comes into my house and say, "Hey, you need to give me out of your pocket $500 for me to go and buy this material for me," that's not the right way because the policy says that we have nothing to disburse from our pocket directly with technicians. We have nothing to discuss concerning money.

    I was looking around and comparing different companies. I’ve seen really good reviews for American Home Shield on Google, so I decided to reach out. The very first woman that I spoke with was so helpful and knowledgeable. It really built my confidence in the company and made me want to go ahead and get signed up with them. One time, I had one little thing happen with the electrician that I put in for. But every time that I had to call, AHS, they completely understood my concern and was eager to help me.

    If I call, AHS shouldn’t have to take a whole six hours to figure out who's 24 hours. I'm sure they have a lot of different vendors and they service the whole US, but they should know their area. I had a main line flood that was pouring sewage onto my front lawn and they had no idea who was 24 hours on their vendor list. They wanted me to wait two days. I ended up having to rent tools and doing it myself. But the most recent claim I filed went okay. I had a blockage in my restroom and it was another two days, but it was fine because it wasn't a major deal. Also, the vendor that was sent out was really good.

    I'm pleased with the service so far. I had it for repairs and it’s all been well. I called in when my hot water was leaking and the water wouldn’t stop running. The repair people came in and they checked it out. They were professional. When they got the part that they needed, they came back and they, in turn, put the part in. I'm pleased with the work that had been done and as of now, it's still working okay.

    Our hot water heater was leaking and the pilot light repeatedly went out. A2Z determined that it was too old to fix the problem. They put in an order to replace it and that was approved by AHS. Getting the replacement took a couple of days. They put the order on Wednesday and it was here by Monday. The only complaint that I have is that we've had a series of problems with this particular water heater since we moved in. I had to pay $100 for them to come out and fix the problem initially. Then, during the follow-up, I had to pay another $100 for them to come out. If it's the same problem, I don't feel like I should have to pay several times for them to come out again. Other than that, I've been pleased. We had a garage issue, too, that a contractor came out for and fixed. That was helpful. It's nice to know that we have the warranty to rely on since this house is really old.

    The sensor which is the LED light made to tell you if the stove is too hot was going bad. We had a few problems trying to figure out if it was the sensor but the contractor finally figured it out after two times of trying. They came through and fixed it in less than 10 minutes. I like American Home Shield very much. I put a claim out, I get a response fast and everything gets handled accordingly.

    A dishwasher door usually gently comes down. It doesn't fall down, but the spring in the door of our dishwasher broke, so it wouldn't hold the door gently when it came down. It was falling down. I also had an intermittent stove where the front and back burners didn't want to turn on sometimes and sometimes, they would. The repair man put on new controller springs on the dishwasher door and replaced the touchpad on the stove. Now, they're working great. This man was absolutely fantastic. First of all, he was there as we got a call or a text an hour after we put it through Home Shield, setting up a time to come over. Then, when he got there, he troubleshot the units and ordered the parts. When one of the parts came in, it looked bad to him, so we reordered it. He said, “I’m not gonna put trash into your appliances.”

    Three days later, we got the correct part. The repair man set it up immediately as soon as he got it. He came over, fixed it, and tried it. He leveled the stove and the dishwasher, thanked my wife, and off he went. First time we've had to use American Home Shield since we got on with them last summer, and I highly recommend. I've already been speaking highly of them around work. I knew there was a reason why we went with them the second time around instead of one of their competitors. Also, if you talk to the technicians around Cheyenne, very few of them, if any, will work for a competitor. All of them like working for American Home Shield, so that's a big plus.

    I submitted a claim with American Home Shield for a leaking kitchen sink and no hot water in the master bathroom. It took the company a while to come. But it was worth it, because they did the job and were very professional. And everything is fine. That technician was the best one I've had. It was a year ago when I did something else, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. When some of the companies AHS work with come, they would say, “Oh, this isn’t something they should cover.” And they want me to hire them. But I called ahead of time and told AHS that I didn't want a certain company that they used to come, so they sent these people. They're 100%. If I could give them 200%, I would. I referred my stepdaughter to AHS, so she will get a policy.
