    True Air Solutions was fantastic. I was contacted in less than a minute after submitting an order for them to come in to schedule the time. They came in the same day that I made the request and they were very punctual. They had to come in and blow out the drain line. It had become clogged and my husband had started working on it and got some of it. But he didn’t have the right equipment to get all of it. So, the tech was able to blow the lines clear so that the unit would stop leaking. He was very professional and got the job done in just a matter of minutes.

    This has been my best experience thus far with American Home Shield. I was a little hesitant to contact them because it would normally take a long time for them to send somebody out to check on the issue. But the process was much better this time. I submitted the claim online and it was very easy. It’s great and it is a game changer. You don’t have to deal with the telephone. It is such a much-needed experience so, kudos. I've had American Home Shield since 2006. I had them in my previous house and for this one, this is year three. I am a faithful customer.

    I liked that Home Shield covers more property. The submitting-a-claim process was simple and easy. GE Appliances came out and checked the stove, found what the issue was, and got it squared away so we could use our stove again. The tech tested the stove and said it was fine. It was a gas spout from my wall. So, there was nothing actually wrong with the stove. The tech came and made that assessment, and we got a plumber out to take care of the issue. I appreciate it. I love Home Shield and I'm gonna keep it. They were right on time and they took care of business when I called.

    We bought the property in June then I signed up for American Home Shield right away because I don't know how the furniture and everything is going on. It's a good investment for me to have American Home Shield and I'm really satisfied with them. My husband is happy too. They are awesome. They are responsive when I make an appointment. They get the appointment right away and the technician comes in the same time as they promise. It's really great.

    When I filed the claim for the dishwasher, I said that it was not starting. We didn't know what was going on. There was no power. The guy figured out what was going on and said it was the keypad. The touchscreen was not working. Unfortunately, he didn't have the parts so he had to order them. But it was fine. He came back after one week. He's fast, friendly and did the job well. The dishwasher is working now and I'm glad that it's taken care of. It’s perfect. I don’t have to replace it.

    I called AHS to submit a claim for a refrigerator of mine which had water leaking from the bottom. It took me a whole month to get my refrigerator fixed. I could never get in contact with the first contractor AHS sent out. He would send a text back when I called saying he would call me at a later time but he would never call. I had to call AHS and resubmit another claim. Then, it took the technician sent by AHS from Lowe's two weeks to come out. While was friendly and he was able to fix the issue that same day, I was very dissatisfied with American Home Shield. I'm paying money every month but I didn't get very good service.

    The icemaker and the water dispenser weren't working. The guys from Affordable Appliance Repair thought they figured out the first time and it was only a temporary fix. So the second time they came out, I had a better understanding of it, and they were able to fix it within 30 minutes. There was only one issue though. They were repairing during the coronavirus. They didn't come to the door with their mask on so I asked them after they came inside to go back and get their mask, and they did. They put them on. But I thought it was policy that everybody that comes to your house were coming in with the mask on. Other than that, American Home Shield did pretty good. Overall, they cover everything.

    American Home Shield is working well for us and I'm very satisfied. I like the fact that we can schedule stuff online. But my husband wakes up in the crack of dawn and calls AHS early in the morning because he wants to speak with somebody. I like the fact that both options are available. We loved our tech from Douglas Pacific Services, the contractor AHS sent. Our tech called when he was pulling up in the driveway. He worked really well with my hubby and he got everything that we needed done done. He made some recommendations for like in the future if we wanted to upgrade or do other things. He was really good. Our unit was a rental unit before and the electrician that was working on it did some shortcuts. The tech from Douglas fixed those shortcuts and now everything is safe and we're good to go.

    I had noticed what appeared to be ash coming out of an outlet when I removed the plug from it. It had a ground fault interrupter outlet kind of backing. I stopped using the outlet. I tried to book the service online with American Home Shield but the online connection told me that my account was not active when, in fact, it was. I then called the home warranty and they sent out Ampac. Their tech replaced the outlet that was damaged and he gave me a little bit of information about what should be running that outlet, which was really helpful since the appliance I had plugged in did not give me that information. He also checked the other outlet. He was very pleasant, thorough, and did a good job.

    American Home Shield is pretty easy to use. I've had four or five service calls, any of which would undoubtedly have cost more than the $75 that I paid for them. From that aspect, the home warranty has been worth it for the peace of mind. Also when I first got the service, I was new to the area and didn't know the service providers. To have a company that had dealt with electricians, plumbers, and so forth was reassuring.

    The AC shut off before a heat wave. We found out it tripped a breaker. We were able to turn it back on before the guy came out, but he called quickly and said, "It tripped the breaker for a reason, so I should come out and check it anyway." This happened on a Friday, we got connected on a Saturday, he came a Sunday morning early. The tech did a few things to help it. It's a really old air conditioner. Most people haven't seen it before. It's that old. It looks like it's from the TV show MASH. The tech said, "Well, the motor's working, we did put some caps. If it gets hot, hose it a bit and it'll help continue the life." It went wonderfully with the service. The AC is on its last legs. At some point, it probably would be replaced. Everything was done well. However, I've had other experiences that weren't as favorable.

    We have a Bosch dishwasher and not everyone services that. I waited a month to have someone come look at it. And then they never even did it or they said they would say that called technicians to find someone who works on that kind of machine. Then the person would call, "Oh, we don't work on that machine." So from when it goes to Home Shield to calling techs, there can be a bit of a delay or a breakdown. They did refund me the $75 service fee, but it's still a hassle.

    I'm an actual real estate agent and I sell the home warranties, at times. I sell a home warranty when I sell a house, or I give someone the opportunity to buy one. I have the contact information of the service rep for my area. If I had an issue, I would contact him and just say, "I need this to be dealt with." My experience through the platform is not as favorable. I feel like I have a backdoor to a better service, an access that not everyone necessarily has. I don't know if that's true, but after my last little fiasco, I go through him directly to fix everything.

    It's interesting because they would ask you to upload what kind of devices, and I would take photos, serial numbers and name brands. But those don't get translated. "What device is it?" "I've already sent this." There's a disconnect. And then, maybe a turnaround time as far as once they assign it, what happens after that? It's run with the ball. My I understanding how the whole business works is they find someone who will work, like an in-network doctor, they're, "Hey, you're gonna go do this at our price." And whatever that is, it's probably a discounted price. And if people don't wanna do that, then that's why they're having difficulty at times to find a technician.

    And then after a certain day, if I haven't been contacted or haven't had someone out here by a certain time period, it would not always be possible with technicians, if 48 hours, if I have nobody contacted, had the appointment set, followed up, I should be allowed to call my own guy. And that can get sticky. That would hold them accountable. Beyond that, we are satisfied with Home Shield.

    What AHS has done well is getting somebody out here expeditiously. The part that's more difficult is trying to make the initial consults or claim, just because the person that's on there is English-challenged. It’s very difficult sometimes to explain stuff to them ‘cause their vocabulary’s limited. So, therefore, they don't understand some things when you're trying to explain it to them. Sometimes there ends up being a miscommunication where, because of the language barrier, they typed the wrong stuff in there or they've sent out for the wrong kind of claim. And we've had to call the contractors here on the spot for the clarification. But AHS is a great company. I don’t hold it against them because somebody is English-challenged. The contractors have been great as well.

They refer to a local partner who (and now established as a pattern) show up quickly blame the issue on something else not covered, and AHS charges $75 each time. Each time this occurred I have had to call out reputable tradesperson and they quickly find the issue- that would be covered and say they see this all the time with AHS. it's a scam and I have file a complaint with the BBB.

    Can't get through to register a claim, 3 calls over 45 min each. Once they dispatched a repair company (Sunbright Pools), the tech stood on my patio puffing on a Vape cigarette. Total time at my house was 12 minutes. He gave a write-up of over $700 dollars which AHS used to deny my claim. After 2 more lengthy calls I got through to the customer solution people that agreed to send a second vendor which did a thorough investigation and guess what now it is covered. Original call on 7/16/2020 and as of today 8/6/2020 the part is still not here. Not sure why I have a home warranty with these people as the support and responses are severely lacking.

    I have had the worst experience. I would give them zero stars if I could and am shocked they have such a high rating on this site. I made a service call for my A/C on June 9th 2020, today is August 6 and just yesterday I got approval for a $579.00 cash out to “fix” it. The service man that came out tried a repair, I called them back out because it was still leaking and he said I need the system replaced. I have spent the last 2 months going in circles to get the authorization for them to tell me I refused replacement of my system and will only pay for the repair. That is not true and all I want to to have my A/C replaced. I’m in Texas and it is summer and the pandemic so my daughter and I are home and it is not possible to just stay with friends or family.

    I purchased this service to be covered from expensive repairs. I need a replacement but they will not authorize it. No one calls me back-not even once and every phone number takes you to the same system where I have spent hours on hold only to reach someone who reads from a script, can’t help me, won’t transfer me or even drops my call. To say I am frustrated is an understatement. It is fraudulent the way they are doing business. The air handler alone is over $1,000. They only are paying out $560 for the part and the other $19 doesn’t cover the labor or refrigerant as covered or the proper repair of replacing the entire system.

    The service man said if they just replace the air handler the old R-22 refrigerant and old from my condenser will mix with the new refrigerant and old and the 10 year warranty on the part will be void. EPA guidelines do not allow them to use the same R-22 refrigerant any more and the entire system need replaced. All I want the the system to be replaced and the warranty states replacement is covered under these circumstances. It seems like the company has me going in circles intentionally. There is no way to email them and any number I have found leads to the same system where I have literally spent hours on the phone. No other way to communicate.

    I resorted to Twitter to reach someone with the company- Please check it out- day after day of desperate customers dealing with this company and lashing out through social media only to be ignored or get some lame reply and nothing resolved. I will be canceling and advise you to save the money you would spend with American Home Shield every month in a separate account to pay out of pocket for repairs and sleep well at night unlike me up in the middle of the night losing sleep over this company.

    I was a customer of 13 years with this company and never needed their services to replace a large item (hot water heater) until recently. Every time I contacted the company I had over an hour wait to get assistance. I took 7 days for the contractor to place me on the schedule to assess the problem. Once he came out and charged the service fee and verified it was the hot water heater he had to send the information to his company and they would forward it to AHS. This took 2 additional days. Only to be told I had to pay $900 in out of pocket fees in addition to $100 service fee and the $800 AHS would pay towards the repairs.

    I called another plumber for a quote and he did the entire job for $650. I called AHS and expressed my frustration with their selection of poor contractors that over price their customers and ended my 13 year relationship. I was charged a $42 fee for leaving the company. Overall they were HORRIBLE and I would recommend other companies that value their customers.

    I love working with AHS. This time, my microwave was not working and they sent a guy to fix it. It was pretty timely and it took him for about three weeks to get the part. Then he finally called AHS. They said that they're just gonna replace it. I called in three days of trying to get in touch with the appliance department ‘cause someone from American Home Shield gave me a number. I've been on hold for over five hours within that three-day span. The guy from 1st Class was saying that with the appliances, it’s a real long wait. I called another person from American Home Shield, the regular number, and she said they got 4,000 or 5,000 calls. But I had my water tank replaced a couple months ago and they got it done really fast, like the same day.

    When my ceiling leaked, I tried to call Home Shield but that was awful. I was told I would be on hold for at least 50 minutes. It seems as if Home Shield wants people to go online rather than call. There are some people who are not friendly with internet to be able to do that. If I were not here, my husband had to do it. We would be lost because he's not internet-friendly. I don't like that when you have all these call centers over in the Philippines or someplace where you can't even understand the people that you talk to. I know it's cheap labor, but we have been paying enough that they can have people over here. They need to have more call centers in the United States. It's okay when you can talk to someone that can understand you or you can understand.

    When I did it online, I was told when the contractors would come out shortly. That was the first time I've ever had that happen. They came back and told me who would come out. However, Home Shield must have been getting the cheapest vendors that they can get to come out to service, and I've had several. But I was very pleased with Legum's and with the technician. My washing machine might be 30 years old. If it breaks down, Home Shield will piece it together. I know I've paid enough to buy a washing machine, but they will piece it together. I don't care how old it is and it's falling apart. They will try to find a piece for it. I was going to change to another provider, but I listened to other people talk about the home service they have. I've called other people. I say, “Oh, hell. They’re about as bad as Home Shield. So, I might as well just stick with what I’ve got."

    I've only used American Home Shield with this claim. The thing wasn't generating ice no matter what I did and I checked everything. This issue had been there since the first week we owned the house. I kept saying that I don't wanna call, but then I finally decided that I had to do it. I realized then that it was so easy to make a claim online and I loved that. Then the time frame was pretty quick. The guy from Anthony Polisso Appliance Repair was here within a day and got here a little earlier than he said he would. He said that a piece was broken and he replaced that. He even said it might take 24 hours, and it took like an hour that it started working so I was very happy. He also took precautions due to Covid, was spaced out apart, he had a face mask on, and then we made sure we weren't in the same room.

    I had a problem with my dishwasher. The little part where it’s supposed to open up and the soap comes out was not working. AHS got ahold of whoever they needed and then those people called me and made an appointment. Fidelity Appliance Service came out and they replaced it. This time, it was fine. I had a bad experience before but it wasn't American Shield’s fault. It was the company that came in but AHS reimbursed me the $75 so that was fine. The contractor came quickly and they just had to order the part. As soon as they got the parts, they came in and had it installed within a half an hour and were gone. When I bought a new air conditioner, I kinda wished I had gone through them first. But I heard so many bad things about the home warranty, so I just did it my own. Overall, I was very satisfied.

    Whenever we call for an issue, Home Shield would immediately respond and send somebody over, especially fixing small issues, but when it comes to replacing, I'm doubtful. There has been an instance when we knew the dishwasher had some issues. We called American Home Shield and they said it was still working. Similarly, the compressor on the fridge was making noise and the technician said there was no problem and it was still working. But then we had to replace it. We are paying at least $700 every year for the house. If there is a breakdown, they can easily replace it. The dishwasher is not that expensive. Other than that, it's been good with them so far.

    There was a slight block in the drainage of the AC unit from condensation. A tech from J&A South Park cleaned that up and once it was cleaned, it was cooling. Also, he was wearing a mask and all that. But I asked him if he could put a tape around it and he said it was through home services and they don't do all that. He did only for what he was asked.

    The freezer is having a problem with doing icemaker. They said they couldn't get the parts and that the parts weren't being made anymore. So they turned it over to a company. When I called the company, they said that when they can't get the parts, it's on American Home Shield's appliance department. I have been calling for over a week now. Every time I call, it tells me that it's gonna be a three-hour wait. One day, it took at least four hours and they still didn't come. It's been a little frustrating because it's been since the 25th of July. Other than that, everything is okay. They get out in a timely manner to check the problem and then, if there is a wait time, it hasn't been that long. But this is the first time it's been as long as it has been. It's just that this particular thing doesn't seem important enough to them to rush it.

    I would give American Home Shield a high mark. I was with another company before. I’m much more pleased with American Home Shield than I was with Old Republic who I cancelled. I've had American Home Shield since June. I had two experiences with them. Unfortunately, my air conditioner went out. It was the compressor. They were gonna fix it. However, it was a 25-year-old unit. I told them that I didn't really want to spend money and that I thought it would go out again. So I got a new air conditioner and they reimbursed me the cost of the compressor. I did not use their company. I had been working with an air conditioner company and I had that company replace the air conditioner but AHS did reimburse me for the cost of the compressor which saved me some money and I was pleased with that.

    Also, Plumbers came out for the disposal that was leaking. I called twice. The first time I called, I saw the leak and they set up an appointment for the following week. For some reason it stopped leaking but it could be because I wasn't using the disposal. The water was coming out through the disposal. I was trying not to get it to leak so it stopped. Then I started using the disposal. The dishwasher runs through there as well and water was coming down the sink but it wasn't coming outside. But then I ran the disposal and it started leaking again so I called the following week and set up the appointment again. They did come out and said, “Yeah, that was what the problem was.” They put in a new disposal.

    The problem with AHS was that they did charge me even though I had cancelled the appointment and the person did not come out. The following week, when I called back, they did come out and they billed me twice according to my credit card. So I had three charges of $100 each time. They only came out once they did replace the disposal. Then I checked the credit card a couple days later, and I saw that they had removed one of the charges, but I still was being charged twice even though they had only come out once. I called American Home Shield and spoke to someone. He said he would take care of that. I looked on my credit card today and I saw that I got $100 credit back. So, I am okay with American Home Shield. They have charged me only once for the replacement of the disposal and I'm okay with them.

    The disposal that they put in works fine. In fact, they put in a disposal which is the same horsepower but smaller than the one that I had, so I'm happy with that. I'm pleased with the work that was done. As far as American Home Shield, I happened to go three times calling and so forth. They did eventually fix the problem but I shouldn't have had to contact them and it’s very difficult to get through. Because of the COVID and their staffing is down, it took me a long time to get a hold of somebody. Once they did, they were terrific. They did a good job.

    My wife submits the claims online, gives the credit card number, pays the deductible, and within minutes or an hour, the prescribed subcontractor sends a text or a call and it was cut-and-dried. When we moved in, there was a bad thermostat not seen by the home inspector and Mr. Cool came. Home Shield has a list of different people. They called Mr. Cool and they came out and put in a new thermostat in. It was pretty painless. Recently, the unit kept running in the middle of the night. It wouldn't get down to the thermostat set temperature. A&R Complete Service came out, adjusted something and the unit works fine now.

    Submitting a claim to American Home Shield has been simple. You get online and type in what your problem is, and then they'll call you in about an hour. The AC wouldn't stay cold, so it just ran non-stop and it would get to about 85 degrees. The technician came out, cleaned something off, fixed a bunch of stuff and ran some more charge in the unit. It has been working since. When the pool filter needed to be fixed though, it took over a month to get the part. The technician said he was waiting for it to come in. Then, he told me that he was going to come out and install it on a Wednesday. I asked him where he was on that Wednesday and he said he had it down for Thursday. So, I told him just to drop the part off because I had to get it installed. But it was the only issue I've had with AHS.

    Home Shield tends to never cover half of what goes on, and it's always more painful than just having someone come out and do it. I've had Home Shield for 10- plus years, but I’m over it. They're good with appliances and everything else, but with AC work, it's always painful because the contractors would come out and put patches on everything. Home Shield doesn’t really let them fix anything. I still have to get back with them about getting reimbursed for doing some of the work ourselves because they wanted way too much money. The wanted me to pay the AC company $3,600. And then, when I told them I could do it because I have a license to use Freon, the rep said, “Okay. We'll put you in touch with someone,” and it came out to be with me doing all the work. They said they would give me $800 and that was just the cost of the part. That made no sense to me. It was messy.

    This time, we've had two different leaks in the house with the plumbing and Home Shield never seemed to cover half of what they were dealing. I still got a hole in the roof upstairs from the plumbing in the upstairs bathroom. And now this bathroom had an issue and it's above our kitchen, and they would have to cut out drywall in the ceiling in our kitchen. Home Shield said they wouldn't even cover it. I don’t wanna continue to pass the good word on for Home Shield and start looking for somebody else, because this has been painful.

    The first time I contacted Home Shield for my plumbing issue, it took a while to get in contact with them. But that may have been my fault because I did the self portal and then the person called me from there. They were pretty prompt after I filed the claim. The first time C Mayes came out, they fixed something but a couple of days later, the noise started back up again. I called American Home Shield to get a recall. It still took some time to get back in contact with the company but it was fine once I got in contact with them. C Mayes came back out and now, I'm trying to make sure that the noise doesn't come back.

    The only thing I don't like about American Home Shield is that the hold time is usually long. There was one time I was on hold for over an hour waiting to talk to somebody. Once, I called at 11 at night to try and see if the call volume would be down and there was one time I called first thing in the morning at around 8 and it was still a 50-minute hold time. And then, I have to break it down to the operator and explain what exactly is going on. But once I get through and they finally understand what I'm saying, it's usually not a problem. The first time, I had an issue with my air conditioning unit and the contractor came right away and fixed it.

    The air wasn't flowing upstairs so, I was trying to see if the technician could check and see what we could do to get more air to flow upstairs.

They tried a remedy solution, which was good. I'm trying to gauge it to see if upstairs is getting cool because they mentioned that if it's not getting cool that they will come back out. They forgot to check the outside unit but he opened up some of the vents. The upstairs is still not as cool as I would like but they said give it a couple of weeks. The technicians were very professional. The time was supposed to be from 9:00 to 2:00 and they showed up at 2:00. The technician checked the unit and wore a mask. So, he did social distancing.

But the washing machine guy didn't come until several days later, said that there was a part that he had to replace.

I wish the prices wouldn't go up all the time though. I also used to hate being on hold forever and now, I just use the online thing. It works okay for me. Also, when when we were moving and my year wasn't up, I still had to finish paying for it. Then when I moved in to our new house, I called them again and the rep gave it to me for $46. I said, "That's good." Because before it was 60 or 70 some when we lived in the other house. I said, "Then, is this what I get again when my year is up?"

I had another one before them and AHS is doing a better job for me in the last year whenever I've had them. I submitted the claim online and it went smoothly. They sent out a contractor fast. He was there for just a few minutes and he was nice. There was nothing broken on the trash compactor and he just had to show me how to restart it. Now I know what to do if it breaks down again.

    Submitting a claim to American Home Shield was easy this time but sometimes, it's not. I had two plumbing companies that came out but both of them were great. The first guy told me that I needed such and such. Then, they sent somebody else out here, who said that it’s wear and tear. They've been dealing with this situation for a long time and they never wanted to fix it. We finally got a part of it fixed but it's still not working. As far as the pool was concerned, the guy came out for five minutes. He did something and said that it works but it doesn't. I didn't wanna stress out my dad at the time because he was going through some things with Parkinson's so we asked the guy to come out again. It never was completed until we got a new pump from Southern California Gas. We got that pump and then it's the heater problem. Also, taking the $75 out of your account before you even get the service is weird to me.

    The garbage disposal started leaking. It took five days for the guy from Richards Plumbing to get time on his schedule to come out ‘cause he was probably the only one that American Home Shield use. I live out in the country. And he said that he was servicing everything in the county. He came out on a Tuesday, got the authorization for replacement on Wednesday, and replaced it on Thursday. AHS should have more contractors. But the contractors that I’ve dealt with have been very good. It's also pretty simple to submit claims.

    My experience with American Home Shield was very good. My upstairs unit would not turn off. It just kept running and running and running. The contractor checked it out and said that it needed freon and some other repair which they did. They handled it well. It's easy to submit a claim and to American Home Shield's credit, they got back to me and had the tech over here in an hour which I know is very unlikely. The two guys they sent were professional and I was pleased. However, they gave me a two-hour window and I don't like being pinned down a two-hour window. It'd be nice if they could just say, "Okay, the guy will be there within an hour." Nevertheless, I've been satisfied with them.

    The AC stopped working. It was blowing warm air. The tech took a few minutes to diagnose the problem and he had the capacitor available on the truck. He put them in and now it's working. But it's hit and miss with American Home Shield. I have the warranty on two condos and sometimes they're great but sometimes they're not. It seems to depend on the issue and the technician. I wasn't that satisfied with American Home Shield but I have liked some of the technicians I've had. They've been very good and some have been absolutely atrocious and that's where my problem is coming from. American Home Shield wouldn't fix the issue.

    AHS had another vendor that came here twice. They didn't identify the problem and we paid the fee. In fact, I'd like to get reimbursed for the $125 fee that was charged. Then the technician from Coastal Comfort Solutions came in and identified the issue. It took him 30 minutes. They had to order the part which was a compressor. The air conditioning was out for 12 days and we had delays in the part being delivered. The tech came back two weeks later and installed it. We're in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The house was between 96 and 100 degrees. We had to move out into a hotel for 10 days, so that was how bad it was.

    The one objection about AHS is that there's gotta be some provision or a type of reimbursement for the hotel room that I paid. I looked in the contract and I didn't see anything. I tried to call them and I wasn't able to get an answer 'cause I couldn't afford to sit on hold for 45 minutes. But I understand that they were probably just overrun with requests for service and don't have the staffing because of COVID-19. I can go online on the other hand, but it's not the same, 'cause I can't get my questions answered there. But they do a pretty good job overall. When I talk to somebody, they're very informative and customer service-oriented. They were absolutely terrific and I was very impressed.

    The real estate company we bought the house from recommended American Home Shield to us. Thus far, I've had one bad experience with one of their vendors and I said I won't do business with that vendor anymore. AHS has been good about that. They've also been really good at replacing appliances of ours when those appliances need replacing. I've had my refrigerator replaced through them. They spend more money than they need to though because they go through four or five repairs when the appliance should have been replaced in the first place. AHS tries to use the parts that are out there. My appliances had to be worked on 'cause manufacturers don't make appliances like they used to.

    When AHS replaces my appliances, I am able to use their marketplace. They get a discount 'cause they're bulk buyers. It's much better than if I would take the money from them and go into Lowe's. I've upgraded my appliances every time and paid a little more to do that. Still, it was worth it to get a better-built appliance than what I had.

    Recently, our dishwasher door was messed up. My husband called American Home Shield and they were really good about sending an email. I got an email and a text that Apalachee Home Service had been assigned and when to expect them out. Usually, AHS's contractors are good at getting to us and setting up appointments. Apalachee's techs were very professional. They had to replace one of the seals and now things are working fine.

    I’ve been with AHS for four years now. If I do four claims a year, I might get two good services and two bad ones. So, every year, I contemplate if I should keep it or not. But then I get a good one and I'm gonna keep it one more year. Then it goes back. The technicians from PJ Appliance showed up the exact time they said they were gonna show up. Plus, they had masks on. They came in and did the work. They needed a part to fix the dishwasher and called me to let me know when the part was available. When the part was available, they bought it to me. The time frame was great.

    I also had a mishap with an issue with the toilet. The guy who came to fix it didn't do the job he was supposed to and told American Home Shield that the job was done, but it wasn't. So, I had to keep on calling back and forth to get another person out. Finally, AHS did it but they tried to charge me again for another company to come out. I let them know that the first company didn't complete the job so, the next company came back out and completed the job. That took about two weeks for that whole process to finish. So, I was without a toilet for two weeks. The first contractor was from Delaware and my service was in Maryland, so the communication wasn't too good. Also, during that time, the contractor told AHS that I needed a new toilet but the contractor then said they had to come out again. It was a whole big mix-up with the communication and I was unsatisfied at that point.

    We have a heat pump that produces AC in the summer and heat in the winter. The heat pump failed and it's not producing AC. So, the individual from Honesty Mechanical came out. This was his fourth visit. He said one of the problems was the blower motor and they went with a universal blower motor. It did not work and it failed again. That was after the third visit. He came out today and said we're gonna have to order an original equipment manufacturer blower motor, which is much harder to get because this is a 20-year-old-plus system. The situation is in limbo because we don't have the new blower motor and the other one that he replaced it with failed because it was pulling twice as many amps as it should. So, we are in the middle of this process and we are waiting for them to get the new OEM blower motor. Hopefully, that will resolve the issue but we're not there yet.

    With the AC, you can run a tower fan and it provides some relief. It's not like the dead of winter when it's freezing outside and you absolutely need your heat pump to provide heat. We're in a situation where it's AC and you can live through it, even though it gets very humid in this house and muggy. But it has been about three weeks since this started and the situation is not resolved. It is taking a while but I understand. This is the first time I've ever had a heat pump that controls either AC or heat but this is an older one. It was built in 1999 and in the world of heat pumps, that's like a century. These are no longer being manufactured so trying to get new parts for an older system is a challenge. This is the first time I'm doing this kind of claim through American Home Shield and if they cannot repair it, the next step would be to replace that heat pump. But they're still trying to fix it by getting the blower motor replaced.

    We've had American Home Shield since we purchased this house at the end of January. So, we've had them now for about six and a half months and there was another claim that we called them for, which is on our policy. It was a ceiling fan in our master bedroom and that was easy. We called them up and the electrician came out. He said it was busted and he went down to Home Depot. He was back in 45 minutes and he replaced it with a new one that’s working like a charm. But that was an easy fix and this is a more complicated system.

    I was happy with AHS when they did the ceiling fan but I'm not happy now because after over three weeks, I'm still dealing without AC in the summer. Although I don't use it all the time, it would be nice to be able to use it once in a while, and we can’t use it right now. It's hard for me to knock American Home Shield because the issue is with the vendor that they'd chosen and the age of the system. I'm in a situation that's still not being resolved and I could be a lot happier if I was well on my way to a resolution.

    We noticed that we didn't have hot water so we called American Home Shield. They sent out NB Plumbing. They were kind of hard to get ahold of at first. They said on their answering machine that they had after-hours services. They didn't though. But once we were able to get ahold of them, they worked well with us and were able to get us on the schedule sooner because American Home Shield expedited it. They were able to get it done efficiently.

    They checked the unit. The bottom had popped off or it exploded. It didn't get water everywhere but it wasn't able to turn back on. It was 16 years old which is a pretty good life expectancy for the older ones. And then there was a pipe that regulates the pressure coming into the home that had also gone bad. NB Plumbing did a really good job. They were very clean and they cleaned up their mess. They made sure they cleaned their shoes off before the came. They wore masks, which was really appreciated because I'm pregnant and have little kids. They also were very knowledgeable and they explained everything. They answered all my questions and we're able to get the job done. I had to wait a day or two but we already waited all weekend long, so it wasn't like that big of a deal to wait a day or two more.

    The only thing is American Home Shield is really hard to get ahold of. If you go online and put in your complaint, that's great. But I wish they had more options. I'm a person that likes to take the reigns. If there's an issue, just give me the information and I'll do it. With tNB Plumbing, they were booked out unless American Home Shield put that it was an emergency. They ended up having to pay an emergency price. I wish they would give me a couple of different contractors like, “Here's three that are in network, whichever one can get it done without having emergency costs, just let us know and kinda go from there.” I feel like that would have been easier for them.

    They could have just let me do kind of the run around of it and find a place that could get the work done faster. If they were gonna call a regular company, I kinda wished there were more options to get it done faster than them having to pay someone overtime. I don't even know with Coronavirus if the other places would even be either open or be able to take on that workload. It was kind of an unnecessary expense that they had to pay. I'm grateful they did it though. I needed water because with the pipe blown, we had to turn off our water.

    But that was my only complaint. I ended up having to call American Home Shield and they called the contractor to see if they could get them to expedite the emergency level of it. They said they couldn't get ahold of the contractor. I was on the phone for two and a half hours with American Home Shield. I was on hold for 30 minutes with them trying to get ahold of NB Plumbing. I said, “No, I just got off the phone with them and they said that they aren't that busy.” I called my landline, called them and we has a video conference. I literally put my phones together and told them to talk things out. I couldn't deal without water. We had to go buy bottled water. I've got a one year old who is on formula still and I'm pregnant. None of us had taken a shower for three or four days. We actually took a shower the night before and it was so miserable.

    Our air conditioner didn't work. It ran warm air and it was 80, 82 at night and pretty intolerable. I guessed it was a coil and things around that that was the problem. The problem had been existing for quite a while. Unfortunately, it happened when I was isolated because of a pre-surgical COVID test. I then had the surgery. The problem was going on during all that time. I made a claim and American Home Shield assigned Advanced Eco Air. I was very pleased that I got a fast response. They were here the next day and were very punctual.

    But I think we would have gone a lot quicker if we had American responses. Every time I call, the reps are polite and nice but there is just a lack of communication. It's a 45-minute call. Also, the connections aren't always good. In fact, I had one call me back because I was sure it was overseas lines. That is a little bit frustrating. I don't know if there is a number for them that I could get a US office. It's not just American Home Shield though. It's happening with a lot of companies. It just makes it more inconvenient for us.

    This is my first year with American Home Shield and I'm due to renew. I'm evaluating what the coverage is before I go into that again. It's a little bit expensive to have to pay $80 somewhat every time I have a call on top of my annual premium.

    South Placer Heating are coming back out. They didn't fix the issue. When they first came out, they told me that the AC had no Freon. They charged me $325 and before the night was over, the air conditioning was blowing hot air again. We had a second opinion come out and they said that there is no way they should’ve put six pounds of Freon in an air conditioning system without checking for a leak, and that the evaporator coil is leaking in the attic. South Placer never even went up into my attic to check.

    I haven't had air conditioning in this house for two weeks. It’s been over 100 degrees for two weeks. We've got every fan in the house and every window open. It's been miserable. The scary thing about it is I read the reviews of that company that American Home Shield kept coming out. You should read the reviews because all they say is this company wants to charge you. They wanna charge you hundreds and hundreds of dollars for Freon and then when they leave, it doesn't work. Then now, you're fighting back and forth between American Home Shield and them to try to do something to get your AC fixed.

    People say they end up going to somebody else and they end up canceling American Home Shield because they're so upset about it. What's weird is that South Placer Heating and Air is not even a Better Business Bureau accredited company. I'm so surprised that a warranty company would use a company like that. Also, I did call AHS up and I told the person I talked to that I was concerned about the company after reading the reviews. He said, “What do you want me to do about it?”

    I had two issues. My microwave wasn’t working and the dishwasher would not fill with water. The technician from Gilmore's Home Solution was very professional. He came in, identified the problem very quickly and fixed it, and he was on his way. The microwave needed to be replaced. It was an 11-year old microwave and there was some switch underneath the sink that just needed to be slapped back on. The process was fine. The contractors had always been very quick with their responses. I've never had any problems with AHS to date. Everything's going very well. I've always heard good things about AHS. So I was, “I should give them a try.” And it’s been good.

    I submit claims to American Home Shield over the phone but I did the first claim online and it was easy. This is my first home, so A-US Air was the first company that we had gone with. They were good and I like them. They were busy so they couldn't get to us right away. So, I understood that. But they were still quick considering the situation that we were in where every single little thing went out. But when we needed somebody to come and install the AC unit, AHS said that there was only one technician in the area who could do it. Other than that, everything was okay.

    We had Home Shield in our previous home in a different state. Recently, we noticed that we had a leak on our water heater. Our garage was full of water. I was able to put the request online and got feedback fairly quickly, and was scheduled the next day. Dimitresse Construction came out fairly quickly the next day. The tech worked hard to try to find out where the leak was coming from. That caused him to open up some drywall, which needs to be fixed. But he was able to isolate the leak and fix it. I've been happy with the customer experience.

    I'm waiting for somebody to call me and let me know that they will come out and fix the drywall. I'm not mad that he had to open a hole in the drywall but I don't expect it to stay open like that. I expect Home Shield to fix it and make it the same way it was before I had this incident. It's also not an emergency so I don't expect them to call right away. Other than that, I've been happy with the service. If I will have any issues on the coverage, then that will be the end of the relationship because I've had them for five years and if they no longer covered the things that I think need to be covered, then there are plenty of other companies out there that do so. When considering a warranty, people have to make sure that the warranty covers the things that need covering such as a water heater.

    The first guy who came out used my device to see if the thing was clogged. Then he said that it needed maintenance. I showed him where the septic was and that's in the back of the house. He said it needed to be snaked up the top of the roof but he didn’t check anything. AHS called me and said that from whatever he wrote, they don't cover. The word the man used was, "It needs to be cleaned out," and cleaned out is for maintenance thing. AHS said that it's something that has to happen periodically to make sure no clogs happen. They would send somebody else out. If the other person sees that it needs to be cleaned out, then I'm gonna be charged.

    The other man came out and I was there. He needed to use a longer snake and pull the toilet part up and get to it. As soon as he did that, lo and behold, everything was clear. He didn’t need to go on top of the roof to do it. Everything works to superb. This last contractor that come out was very professional, assisting, and then he gave us pointers. I liked that.

    When I spoke to the individual who went over the claim, he told me that it won't be covered. I asked him why. He kinda pissed me off. I told him that I pay my money every month for this not to be covered, and if that would be the case, I'd cancel my service then go somewhere else if just to unclog something. What's the point of me having warranty? He then said that he'd escalate the call. I told him I wanna speak to a supervisor. Someone tried to call me but when I picked up, they hung up. Nobody called me back. I just bought the property and so I have people calling me trying to get my business. Overall, AHS needs to consider how long the person has been there, what could possibly cause it, and if it’s negligence of the property owner, instead of telling me it's not covered. That's crazy and I gotta do some legwork.

    There was no air being sucked through the return duct. I filed the claim online through American Home Shield and it was a lot quicker than getting on the phone. As soon as I did the claim, they submitted who was gonna be the contractor and their phone number to follow up with him if I wanted to. The contractor contacted me within the first four hours. They came out and gave me the diagnosis right away. Unfortunately, they weren't able to fix it because they had to get authorization to make sure that the work was covered under warranty. From start to finish, it was a little under a week.

    We had that issue with the air conditioner for some time but as soon as they fixed the issue, I had a lot more air flow. The air conditioner seems to be working very well. It was an immediate difference. Since everyone's in quarantine, I do have my wife and my son who are asthmatic so that was a very difficult time without having the air conditioner with the heat here in California. It was very crucial to get that thing up and going as soon as possible, which they did. They were able to squeeze me in like four days earlier just by them having some cancellations and being able to work with our schedule. That really helped. We had a different warranty through Sears but American Home Shield was a little bit more economic. They let us choose our own plan and it seems to be working out fine. We've had them for about 3 years now.

    I had problems with the air conditioning the first year I was Home Shield and they sent Total Air out. And they were not good. They threw a part at it and it didn't work. Finally, I didn't wanna stay without air and I called my own air conditioning guy. But Home Shield would not honor that because I didn't get an okay through them first, so I had to pay for that out of my pocket. So I paid for the $75 fee and for parts that weren't working on it. I dropped the warranty for a few months and they said to come back. I told them to make sure they put it down there on my account that I do not want those contractors back out here again.

    Then, I went seven days without air. Home Shield did not get the right contractor out here. I waited for one of them but their sub had a truck that broke down and I wasn't willing to wait for that. I called back and they gave me to another contractor but the tech said they don't service my area. Then, they gave me Jarvis Heat and their tech was on time. He was very knowledgeable, nice, and friendly. He came out with his mask. But he had to order a part so it still took me over the weekend.

    I'm not so much happy with American Home Shield. Their reps really need to know who services different areas. If I had gotten ahold of Jarvis the first time, I would not have had this happen. Also, they need to tune up who they really got out working on the rural areas, especially air conditioning and that kind of stuff. But I've had a door service and a garage door opener guys that came out and they were excellent. It wasn't something that was covered on American Home Shield, but the company representing them was very good. He knew what was talking about.

    It sounded like our air conditioner unit was going to come down. We could hear something rattling inside of it and it kept getting louder and louder. We submitted a claim with AHS and they sent out Arizona Diversified Air. By far, from a lot of the companies that AHS sent us, they were the best. They said that they were going to be coming at a certain time, then they said that the tech was available early and asked if if he could come in earlier. We agreed and when the tech was here, he knew that he had to get pre-authorization beforehand for the type of air conditioner that we had. Then, I was afraid it would drag on forever, but they came right the next day. AHS accepted the work and the problem was resolved. The AC has also been functioning well since the service. Other than that, the technician was very friendly, knowledgeable, and took care of the problem as soon as possible.

    We've lived here 16 years and we probably bought American Home Shield at the beginning of 1988. Recently, we had plumbers come out and check the disposal. It was a timely response. They came out very quickly and after they messed around with it, they said it was okay. They told us some things that we needed to do to maintain it and left us some stuff to put in the disposal so that it would run better and stay in better shape. We had another visit on the air conditioner. We have a third unit that is 16 years old. We replaced the other two, but we had never replaced that one. It had some issues and American Home Shield sent out someone earlier than the disposal people. Both of them were good.

    The AC stopped working. I did a claim to American Home Shield. The first technician wasn't able to repair it because that wasn’t their specialty. So, we had to get a second company to come out and do it because they're more familiar with the unit. So, it took two visits. It’s working now. The first time, my tenant waited. They reported Monday, and they came on Friday. Then the second technician came out the Monday after. Both technicians were very professional.

    On 7/27/2020, I requested that my pool filter and pump be repaired. AHS sent out vendor and the technician was here maybe 10 minutes. He looked at the gauge on the pool and immediately told me it was the filter cartridge. I told him it's a brand new cartridge that I had purchased 4 weeks prior from Leslie's Pools. He never opened the area where the cartridge goes, he just assumed that was the issue because that's what the gauges indicate. I have cleaned the filter twice since he left, and have nothing but clear water coming out. Still no heavy pressure coming out of the pump.

    I called back to AHS and spoke to agent John who informed me that my call had been canceled by Me. I told him I never canceled my service request and no one has the authority to cancel. He then tells me "oh". Then he tells me that he will call the vendor and see what happened. He comes back after 10 minutes to tell me the vendor says the cartridge is bad. I tell him once again that it's a BRAND NEW CARTRIDGE. Then he tells me that for another $125 he can send another company. At this point I asked for a manager. I am beyond frustrated. He then proceeds to tell me that NO manager is available, but he can get me to a escalations advisor. I've now been on the phone for over 40 minutes. Still no resolution.

    I first contact Home Shield on March 30, 2020. They had a provider come out immediately. However, when the same thing happened again and again, I had no way of contacting to tell them the problem was never fixed. I could request service but the fee would have to be paid over and over again for an existing problem. The only way to get a hold of them is through social media which I refuse to do business through or a phone call where you are on hold for 45 minutes or longer before you get tired of waiting. I was recently asked by friends about this company and in my opinion the worst company ever.

    I had AHS from 2013 to 2020. During this time I paid them every single month and only called them to have 2 things fixed (hot water heater and AC). Hot water heater took a long time to fix. My AC has been out for over a month and is still not fixed. Every time I call them they do not call me back. I finally cancelled my services. Now when I call to get ahold of them to check the status of them getting this fixed (as it was still under warranty at the time) they hang up on me or dont even answer the phone. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY. It is NOT worth it. You may as well put 50 aside every month in a savings account. It would end up saving you money and hassle in the long run.

Mind you I just was without my a/c unit for 2 1/2 weeks and now I still have to wait.

    AHS is never had to call me at my payment but ever since I had AHS I have had problems. I had to paid my copayment of 1600 dollars. Sensible Comfort did not have to call AHS and state that I did not have their money. I believe in my heart that AHS does not care anything for the customer. To AHS it is only about the money. I recommend my mother to this company but I will not recommend no one else to AHS. AHS does not look out for the customer.

    Original Review: Aug. 5, 2020

    Near the air conditioning, the power source that connects to it had completely melted. The electric person said that he wouldn't fix it until the AC people came out and fixed the AC. I had the AC people come out and they replaced practically every part. It took the guy from First Electric, the contractor American Home Shield sent, a week and a half to come back and fix the one thing that he needed to fix. He fixed it but the AC still doesn't work. Between the AC people and the electric people, they're blaming each other instead of getting work done.

    We have been without AC for over a month. Yesterday, we had our electric company that handles the entire grid. They tested our lines and said the lines are fine. But our AC still isn't working and we have a company coming out right now for it. Everybody's putting their arms up in the air saying, "We don't know." I am just baffled. We're getting ready to go back into triple digits. I have an asthmatic person in the house. And it's causing problems for my brother who's the one in the wheelchair. I just can't take it anymore. I told my husband that we could go out and get a new AC then take American Home Shield to court to get our money back.

    The ladies that answer their phones try but they really don't understand because they're just going off of the reports from the companies that have been coming out. I had been on hold with American Home Shield for the last month for over 15 hours combined - three hours one time and two hours another time. It's the waiting, like on being hold for over an hour or over two hours, that kills me. I understand and it's not AHS' fault but there has got to be a different answering system. The workers came here and they fixed whatever it is that they fixed. It was like 30 minutes after they left and the air conditioner stopped again. Our air conditioner was put in in 1996.

    I asked AHS how many more people they have to dispatch out before they would be ready to replace the unit and they were like, "Well, we're sending out this company. And we're sending out this company." It's a really old unit and I'm willing to pay whatever I have to pay to get it fixed. I don't know what to do anymore. AHS normally does a great thing and they always send people out.

    BB Lewis Plumbing was our designated contractor for a plumbing claim we had with American Home Shield. They did a good job and everything was fine. They said they would be here and they were. They found the problem and completed the job. The tech checked the plumbing and it was a seal that was missing from a drain pipe that made it leak. They had to cut a hole in the wall.

    We're having the plumbing company come out again for another issue that wasn't covered on Home Shield. We're gonna wait to get the hole in the wall fixed but Home Shield is going to cover it. I've got a name and everything. But I called and canceled. I told them we would reschedule a different time because BB Lewis couldn't get out. Their guy, Jason, hurt his back so he couldn't come out yesterday to fix it.

    American Home Shield's service so far seems to be good whenever we needed it. They have gotten our things fixed. We didn't have to fix it ourselves which is beneficial. And if something major goes out, the cost of the warranty would be worth it. We haven't used the service that much but it seems to be pretty fair. The $125 for anything that goes wrong is kind of steep but that's a service call.

They asked me the health questions and they told me their procedure as far as them wearing masks and gloves. And then, they set up an appointment for that Friday. The young man that came out was very professional and cordial. He told me that they needed to order a part and that I should hear from them within a week. Before the week was over, I got a call from them. The same young man came out. I asked him to go through the back door because the washer dryer was there, and he didn't have any problems doing that. He wore a mask. He did the job. I've been using my dryer ever since.

    I purchased the home last year, and I thought I had another service issue this week, and it said that my policy expired. I had paid the original one, and then a month later, Home Shield said, “Hey, do you want to pay next year's? It'll be this same price.” There was a confusion and it showed me that I had been expired. But I didn't understand that since I had just used the service. I called and it got cleared up this morning. The reps were very nice and very professional. I like Home Shield.

I can't get in touch with them. I left a text and called them a few times but there was no answer. I need somebody to come out here, go up in the attic, and see what's going on because it’s ruining my house. I got rust all along the side of my siding. I've called Home Shield about it and I left my phone number for them to call me back. Also, they came and sent a guy out to put a new unit in my toilet and it only lasted about a year.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for almost a year and for the most part, submitting a claim is easy. But the service depends on the provider. Sometimes, it's smooth, quick and easy and sometimes not so much. I once had a problem with a washing machine that wasn't working and the provider that AHS found was unable to fix it. They kept saying they would come back and then never ended up fixing it. I ended up buying a new one because I didn't wanna deal with it. On the other hand, when the garbage disposal wasn't working and was leaking, the rep from Advanced Home Services came in right away and switched it out for a new one. That worked well.

    We had a refrigerator that was leaking. It turned out to be not a plumbing issue but it was an appliance issue. The contractor examined it thoroughly and did a good job of identifying the problem. So we're waiting for the appliance person to repair it. He has to come back with somebody else because it's a two-man job. The refrigerator is really large. It takes more than one person to get in there.

    My refrigerator quit working and my dishwasher wasn't draining. American Home Shield sent out Martin's Appliance Repair. For the dishwasher, the service guy showed me how to get it to drain. It was still holding a lot of water in the bottom. When that happens, he showed me how to get that to drain properly. It was just a matter of him showing me how to get that backed up water to come out. So now I know what to do. But he said he couldn't fix the refrigerator because something inside of it was broken. I've still not got it resolved. I'm waiting for a check to go get another refrigerator. I also had another claim with American Home Shield where something went out on my heater back in the winter.

    We've had multiple claims with our HVAC system and it has always been South Placer Heating and Air except for one time. We’ve had a good experience with South Placer. They always came out and diagnosed it and usually were able to correct it that same day. When Our thermostat was out and they came and replaced it. The technician noticed that it still didn't turn on, so he went up to the furnace and did some stuff up there. It took a few minutes and then it turned on.

    AHS doesn't offer to cover Freon. When ours went out, it was a pretty expensive cost. That's one thing that they can change because some of the competitors offer it in their plan. But overall, I have had a good experience and that's why I've decided to renew with them. During all this crazy pandemic stuff, it was hard for a little while to get someone on the phone and submit a claim. But when I established an account and figured out how to submit a claim online, it was a much easier process.

    I had an issue with the garbage disposal and I went online to request service from American Home Shield. They emailed me who was gonna contact me to set up an appointment or I could call the company. The technician arrived in a timely manner. They told me to expect him between 1:00 and 5:00. I got an email that he was leaving wherever he was and when he was on the way to my house. He was supposed to arrive around 2:58 and he was here at that time. He did what he was supposed to do.

    A friend that I have in California was talking about American Home Shield and why she went with them. My appliances were getting of age and I didn't like going through the company where I purchased my appliances. Their warranties were individually for each item and it was getting rather expensive. So, I went with AHS where I could cover everything in my home and pay a flat rate for the warranty and monthly. I had been with AHS for 15 years and I had been able to manage that way rather than trying to find a plumber or appliance worker to work on my appliance since you're not sure if they are gonna do a good job.

    But sometimes, you have to wait a little longer than anticipated so I was looking for Peak Home Performance to tell me that it would be couple of days before they could get to me or something of that nature. I was surprised that they were able to come the same day. So that was right down my alley and I was very pleased with that. When I can get service the same day, that's what you're looking for. Because you can't force certain things. In the winter months, companies get booked up with the furnaces. A couple of times, I had to end up going with someone else. Whoever AHS contracted with couldn't come out that day. When your furnace goes out, you gotta come up with another plan on heating your house. Certain things can't wait that long. But I've been satisfied with AHS.

They called that afternoon and said they'd be there the next morning. They also called when it was 30 minutes out and said they were on their way and then I let them in. The guy came in and he had to put something in there and now, it's working. Everything's good. It was prompt service and I appreciated that. That makes a difference when it's so hot.

    The submission process is much better now as well. It used to be a while and you couldn't communicate when you're trying to get somebody or leave a message, but from the last experience, I'm a-okay. The callback is an improvement from the times I've had before. Sometimes with your air conditioner, they're gonna call you and you'd be waiting. This particular one though, they were good.

Their website was more general than I thought in some cases, but it was user-friendly ‘cause all I had to do was hit a dropdown box and hit whatever it was I was looking for. Then SWAT came out and found the clog in the pipe that went out to the septic tank. They responded pretty fast and they did a very good job. It actually taught me a couple of things, so I was glad they responded. Overall, my experience with AHS has been good. I had one incident that wasn't covered, but then after I read the policy, it made sense.

    The AC wasn't cooling and the fan wasn't working. I called AHS around noon and they said they were going try to expedite my claim. They also told me that they would give me a window of four hours as they were trying to find somebody. It was getting really hot in here because we have 100-degree days and the heat kept going up. So, I called them again and I was on the phone for two hours trying to find out if they'd actually found somebody. It was getting close to 5:00 and they told me that I could look for my own person. But I told them that I was not doing that here at 5 o'clock in the evening.

    So, they found somebody from Air Dynasty that could come the next morning and they gave me a window of 8:00 to 12:00. Then, I heard from Air Dynasty and the guy called right at 8:00. So, he was here in 30 to 45 minutes and it was taken care of within an hour and 15 minutes. So, I was really happy with it in that respect. But I didn't really like the waiting around to try and find out something for four hours. It was 85 in here and getting extremely warm. That was the only thing because I really thought that that was enough time to find somebody. But we could fight the heat for a night and it was fixed promptly.

    Other than that, with AHS, you pay 70 bucks a month then you pay 75 bucks for a service call. And right now, that's kinda high under the circumstances with all the stuff that's going on. I was going to look into switching to somebody to see if there was a cheaper monthly rate but I was talking to a friend and she said that hers kept going up. Also, we had a problem one time with someone that AHS used to fix our dishwasher. These people were ridiculous in trying to get a hold of them and they wouldn't call us back. I had them put on our account that we would never use those people. But since then, because we also had a washer issue, they came out and fixed it promptly.

He had to replace the water shut-off and the bolts that hooked the tank to the seat ‘cause it was leaking out of there and the master bedroom faucet for the bathtub water to come out. It’s always been a good experience with American Home Shield. I've had to call them out one other time for plumbing issues as well, and it was good. Filing the claim was super easy and quick too.

    I have two friends that use Home Shield, which is why I switched to them. Also, the company that we used before was terrible. The customer service was great, but the service providers that this other company had were terrible. I could never reach the service providers once they came out and looked at the issue so I could never get them back out to finish fixing it. So, I would just lose my deductible. They were stealing money from me and not fixing my problem. I wanted to see if Home Shield's service providers will do a better job and not just take my money.

    My husband was here when Chesapeake Appliance Repair came out. From what he told me, they let us know when they were coming. They tried to call me. They sent a text message and my husband said the guy came in. He talked to my husband briefly, then unplugged the microwave and tested it a couple of times. Then he told my husband something has gone bad and that we just need to get a new microwave. And that was it. Thank you for the visit. That was fine. However, I still haven't heard from Home Shield about getting a new microwave. The job is not completed until I get a new one.

    I tried calling customer service last Friday and I waited an hour. I called again on Tuesday and I got in touch with someone in customer service and they said they had put in that we needed the microwave. I was glad to hear that part. And then, they switched me over to the department that does the appliances. I waited for 45 minutes. I hung up when my phone hit an hour because I've been on hold for a long time. I decided to let somebody call me and see how it works. But when I talk to somebody, they were very helpful. It was several hours later when someone reached out to me, but I was glad somebody did contact me. So far, reaching a person to talk to and how I can resolve my problem to give me a microwave has just been the frustrating part.

    The AC unit was running constantly and it wasn't achieving the temperature that we had it set at. So, I placed a call to American Home Shield. The temperature outside was in the high 90s, so I know it was hard to get to that temperature because the house itself was hot. At the very least, it might have needed some Freon because it was blowing cool, but not really cold.

    It's impossible to talk to someone at American Home Shield though. I placed the service call online and they assigned a vendor that I didn’t want. I always want Bennett to come to the house because they're the best. There's nowhere online where you could make comments or request a certain vendor. Then I called and I was on hold for like 45 minutes. I gave up. Then I called the next morning and I was on hold for like 25 minutes. I finally got to talk to someone, and it was back and forth. They finally signed Bennett and off we went.

    Every time I tried to talk to someone, I wait on the phone for hours. It's disgusting. Once you get a hold of them, it's okay. But you would think there'd be a place on their website where you can make a comment of some sort that you’re requesting such and such vendor due to past experience. Other than that, when the vendor comes out, they solve the problem. It’s a shame that it was impossible to talk to someone, but I would recommend them still.

    The AHS website is good and it's easy to submit stuff. They were pretty quick and I got text messages, so it was intuitive. We had Water’s Edge come out for a plumbing issue and for the garbage disposal. The plumber replaced the garbage disposal within an hour and then he fixed the plumbing leak. Everything works now. A lot of people don't realize how to utilize the warranty. I didn't know that you can file multiple claims for certain stuff on one deductible. Also, some stuff you wouldn't think was in their warranty is under warranty.

    My washing machine had a cracked door. It was just an exterior cracked door. Then it leaked with the detergent and it had this odor smell. The technician looked at what was wrong with it and looked to order parts. The parts weren't available and American Home Shield would just replaced the whole washer. They sent me a link of how to order the washer and I just literally clicked to order the washer that I wanted. It didn't cost me a dime other than the home warranty and the deductible. And the washer arrived today.

    When submitting a claim, you'd go online and do it and then you'd have the option of calling directly to whoever they sent it to. We contacted HVAC Repairs and everything went fine. But a couple of years ago, we went without air conditioning for two weeks ‘cause a part had to be ordered. The reason it took so long was that American Home Shield did not expedite the order because that would have cost more money on their part. So we didn't enjoy the benefits of air conditioning for an extended period of time.

    The past experiences we had with Home Shield were good but this last one was not good. We had to wait for two weeks to get someone into the house and fix the AC and it was so hot. No one raised the ticket as a priority. The first person who came found that the fan is faulty and he replaced that. Then, he found that it was one and a half pound low on refrigerant and he filled that up. But the house was not cooling up. A week later, the guy from Air Max came and found it was around one pound low on refrigerant. The AC is working now, but we are not sure. Maybe Home Shield should use someone like Air Max. They can come and recheck whether the Freon is lower than the current condition.

    The first time I did something online with Home Shield, I couldn't get it to work. I had to call in and it took me an hour on hold before I got somebody. Any time I call in, the hold time is extremely long. It's kinda ridiculous. Other than that, Home Shield has always been great. I just recommended them the other day to my son. We had an issue with the air conditioner and it was hot in my side of the house. It took a little bit longer to find something but I understand with the COVID and stuff. It’s summer. It was something easily worked through.

    They had Absolute Refrigeration Air Conditioning for an AC issue. I had them out twice for two different units. For the first unit, they came out right on time. They were super friendly and helpful. They got the unit fixed. On the second unit, I called them back and said it was a mini split. But that was not relayed to the guy technician coming out.

    The AC went out so I called American Home Shield. They got Bencraft Mechanical to come out and the guy said he couldn't find the leak. He put some refrigerant and charged for that. He also put some dye in the refrigerant so that we could figure out if there was a leak and he said to call back. By the time he left, we had cold air and everything was going. But a couple of months went by and I had the same problem.

    I called Home Shield and they got this other company called World Class AC to come out. The contractor opened up the unit, pulled the coil out, and saw that all the dye that Bencraft Mechanical put into the lines had come out on the coil. World Class AC went ahead and replaced that and I paid for refrigerant again. Then, a couple of months later, I had the same problem so I called Home Shield and they sent out Bencraft Mechanical again but I was a little leery. The same guy came out and then discovers that now the entire outdoor unit is gone. They replaced that and I paid for refrigerant again. The unit is now working. The tech from Bencraft got through things as far as checking stuff and he was a little more knowledgeable. But what Bencraft could have done better is go through each component within the system.

    American Home Shield has been great for me. They’ve done a lot of great work as far as getting contractors out. But in Florida, when the contractors come out, that doesn't mean they're going to do the job. I've learned that. You stand in the corner with a fistful of $100 bills and they just drive right by you. There’s a lot of work out here that needs to be done and contractors are iffy at best. Other than that, Home Shield is a really good company. I'm really satisfied. Especially during the pandemic, they've saved my butt. They've been able to provide a service that has allowed me to continue making a hospitable home in spite of all of the hardships because of the pandemic. I'm very thankful for that.

    It was hot in the house. I checked the temperature of the thermostat and it was about 91 degrees. So that prompted me to call American Home Shield. They sent their first contractor out. Whatever he did in the backyard, he never set foot in the house and then he indicated something was going on with the unit outside and he fixed it. But after about a couple of hours, the house never cooled down.

    The next day, I called American Home Shield again. They indicated they would escalate it back to that same contractor and have a senior technician come out to look at it again. That senior technician came out and pretty much kinda did the same thing the first one did. He came in and just put his hand up to the vent. Then he went outside, said something about the unit again, and that the house should be cooling down shortly. Once again, that same night, the house never cooled down. That was when it kinda got to 92 degrees in the house. I called American Home Shield back and I expressed my frustration. They indicated that they would turn it over to another contractor and Southern Comfort came out.

    The technician was sweet. He came in, he kind of diagnosed what he thought the problem was. He did indicate to me that the insulation was kinda low in the attic but should not have been the cause of the air conditioner not cooling and for it to be 90-plus degrees in the house. He went outside and he indicated that it was low on Freon so he put that in there, came back in, and checked filters. He said that it should be cooling and he apologized for the inconvenience. But it was still not cooling.

    I called Southern Comfort back before calling American Home Shield. I spoke with a representative and she indicated that I had to go back to American Home Shield in order for them to do another service request submitted and for them to come back out. When I called American Home Shield, I was on hold for at least an hour. But I stayed on the phone and finally got through to a rep. The rep indicated that they would send another service request out. The person came out and he fixed it. We have air now. It took four visits for them to fix the problem but Southern Comfort was great.

    In 2015, I called a technician to repair the AC. The unit was not working because it had a big huge leak outside on the coils. The technician that was sent repaired it and didn’t check anything else. And ever since, I got Freon on my unit back then, and that was it. Recently, AC was getting worse and worse. It has been overworking and not having sufficient cooling. It was pushing all the temperatures in the house down every single time when there is hot weather. I have a friend who works for an AC company and I told him to give it a look. He found out that the levels of pressure of Freon was low and was not expected. Then, when he checked the Freon, it went down, so he started looking for a leak, but there wasn't. Somehow, the Freon was just going down and down not knowing why.

    I called American Home Shield. Air Systems USA came over and they realized that one of the valves was bad because they ran a test. One of the technicians said that the valve was going to some sort of level up the pressure when the Freon gets out. Also, the unit didn’t have a bi-directional filter drier so he installed it. Since this unit is old, it's probably not well care about the pressure and all this stuff.

    Air Systems USA seemed to be knowledgeable about what they did. They tackled the correct way for the issue. They had a good approach on how to fix it and they responded quickly for this request. They only took two days to come back with the repair and they got it done. Five minutes after they finished, they started to initialize the unit back online. It took only five minutes to start cooling off really well. Now the AC seems to be okay. I don't feel that the unit is overworking like before.

    My compressor went out. I had to stay in a hotel from the 10th of July until the 29th of July out of pocket. The company came out on Monday and sent American Home Shield the information. They had to order the part but if the company tells them that's what the situation is, the company probably could have gotten the part a lot sooner. It took them five to seven days to get the part, and by then, the company was behind. I had to wait again another week for them to get someone out to install it. They don't assist you as far as your inconvenience of staying. They only pay $10 on the freon.

    I'm not working because of COVID, so I had to get the money together to pay for the hotel and I had to pay $900 out of pocket for freon and whatever else they had to do. I'm not really satisfied. I had to argue with them because the company that came out is the company that I have come out every year to service my unit. They service it in the fall and in the summer. They've been doing it for the last four years. Once you build a rapport with a company and you're comfortable with them, you want that company to be the people that come out to your home because you kind of trust them and you know them. When I called, they didn't wanna send the company out. I had to demand.

    The company that they wanted to send had very bad reviews with the Better Business Bureau. My daughter and two of my friends had dealt with this company so I knew the history. I had to get really down and ugly. They told me I have to take who they send. The guy told me, "We can send whoever we want to your house. We have the right to do that." I said, "No, you can't make me let someone in my home. You have no right. You may be able to bully someone else into doing that, but you're not gonna be able to bully me. At this point, we have nothing else to discuss. I wanna talk to a supervisor." He hung up in my face. I had to call back again and be on hold again for over an hour to get someone to get the right company out. That was the main thing that I feel is wrong. I pay $70 every month and that's the first time they've had to pay for anything in my home.

    During that whole situation, it was a very expensive experience for someone who's not working and my kids had to get the money together to help me. It was horrible. Now, I've got a plumbing issue. They don't want to send the company that I used for my plumbing. They kept telling me they're not on their list. I've called the company and they said they're taking service orders from American Home Shield. I'm gonna try to call again today, be on hold again for over an hour, and try to get them to send the company that I want.

    I understand that they have different companies, but if you dealt with a company and this company is someone that they use, then let the customers request, unless that company is no longer a part of their contract. They make the whole experience very horrifying. I've been with them since 2003 and I've probably had four claims at the most since. It's never a pleasant situation when you're calling in to make a service request. I tell them they need to go to the Better Business Bureau and look at the reviews of the companies that they're trying to send out. Their customer service agents are also very rude. I work in customer service and how they talk to you is not how they should talk to a customer.

I got six kids in the house and we're having to go spend $200 a week on laundry. We filed the claim the same day the washer broke and the rep was rude to a point. The washer had water still in it and he was like, “It’s not my job to clean that water. Y’all need to take care of that.” All the other things that we've had with AHS, all the kitchen appliances that went out, the contractors came in within a few days and fixed them all. It was quick.

    I'm happy we have coverage and I usually submit claims online by logging into the account. One time, I submitted a claim and Island Breeze HVAC came in as soon as the next available opportunity was there. The first time, it was the next day, which was very fast. On the second call, it was as soon as the hurricane was over, so it was reasonably fast as well. After they did the initial repairs, the unit stopped working again. I'm not sure if it was related to the first issue, but on the second call, they came in and resolved the issue. They were excellent and it went well.

    Our faucet was no longer fully working. The guy from Bay Breeze Plumbing came out, was able to diagnose the problem and got a new faucet. We also had an issue with another faucet down in a shower and he was able to fix that as well. American Home Shield worked out perfectly with us. We have them on a second home and it was three or four days before they could get out there, but that was the right timing for us ‘cause that was when we needed it. They're usually pretty quick and we haven't had any problems. We did have to wait a week to get the new things in though. You have to wait on the contractor to put the claim in and once it got approved, they had to order the parts. So it took about a week before we could get the problem resolved once the guy had come out initially.

    We were having different temperatures in different zones of our house even though our thermostat was set at the same number. I opened a claim on American Home Shield's website and once I submitted it, I was told that their contractor would be contacting me within 24 hours. If I felt like calling the contractor, they gave me a number to call. Using their website was great. I heard from their contractor A-US Air Conditioning of Texas the next morning and they were able to send somebody out the following day. The tech provided great service. It has been a great experience moving into a new home from out of state knowing that we have a source for repairs. AHS is a speedy solution for when things go wrong. It has brought us peace of mind.

    Everything went well with Water and Drainworks. The claim was submitted late in the week and it was early the next week that the guy came. We had a weekend stuck in there but it was not something that was critical. He arrived when he was supposed to and was wearing his PPE like we were hoping he would. He came in and identified what was wrong. He had the part on hand and fixed the issue.

    We've had two claims with American Home Shield and both of them have gone well. However, I would have probably liked a little more clarification on what was covered and what wasn't. The claim process is a little unfair right now. I blame it firstly on the Coronavirus and, apparently, the call centers, are not in the United States. If I had been able to do it online or through the telephone by using the quick trip through, it probably would’ve gone really well. I had questions about the coverage and that meant that I had to wait for somebody to talk. The hold time was outrageous. On one of them I waited an hour and a half and when you're using your cell phone, it's draining the heck out of your batteries. That's the only complaint I have. Once they came on, we got things resolved quickly.

    Both my AC units were blowing warm air and Eagle Heating and Air fixed both. They were very knowledgeable and the office coordinator called me and let me know specifically my window for my appointment. She followed up with a text three days prior to the service call to narrow down the time frame, which I like. Tyler, the technician, knew right away that the initial problem was my breaker. I must’ve had bad weather and it tripped the breaker box. So, they had to reset the breaker and the downstairs unit started working. They put some Freon in as well. But the very next day, the second unit went back to blowing warm air. They said I needed a new compressor and they were going to seek American Home Shield’s approval before replacing it. So, I'm assuming that once they get the part, they're coming back out.

    I submitted a claim on the website of AHS and it was quick and efficient. It said they would contact me within 24 hours after submission. My experience with the contractors that came was good. He did a great job. There were no real problems that were presented. He did everything perfectly. As far as fixing the problem, it worked. When he first looked at it, he told me what was wrong with it and that he would have to order the part. Because of the situation, what's going on with COVID, it may take the part a little longer to come in than normal and so that was expected. But even then, it only took two weeks for the plug to come in. I did a follow-up with him to see where we were at with the part, and it just so happened that that day, the part came in. He said that he would come out the next day to install apart and once he did, everything worked great.

    This is not my first time with American Home Shield. In my previous home, I was with AHS for about four years. Then because I moved and I was getting the house built, I stopped and I told the wife, “We need to get back on this program. It’s a good program.” So we started back and just as we started back, the dishwasher went out. It was right on time. It worked out great. AHS did me justice and I will recommend it.

    Absolutely horrible warranty company. I can't even say customer services. Going on 2 weeks with a broken appliance and having to start the whole process again. Each representative tells lies and does not know the process of any sorts. American Home Shield reviews that are ever positive are paid reviews. They are a scam and fraud at best. My problem is still not fixed and requires every time to talk over 1 hour wait to talk to someone. I have been hung up on, no escalation, no resolution in sight.

Before they ask what was the issuse they ask for a service fee and they still could not produce as promised. They could not find anyone, then they finally give me the go ahead to get a outside contractor. They give the outside contractor a push around and long call waiting for approval, after 2 days the contractor no longer wanted to do the job. After 5 days without a/c in my home and kids crying and sleeping in discomfort I had to pay for a new unit to be replace out of pocket. When you think they have you covered they really don't.

    At the end I just took the loss of Cash Value Price and went through with local appliance company to buy the Range Hood. Never Never get AHS. I canceled my contract with them right on the spot when I spoke with them last time. Not worth of dealing 7 months to get one thing get fixed.

    We have been loyal customers of American Home Shield for over 20 years. We have even given annual AHS home warranty subscriptions to buyers of our homes to give them some peace of mind with their new home ownership. Today, however, I am writing to describe the lack of service we have received since July 1st of this year. I placed a service call on our Bosch wall oven in the middle of June of this year. The first company AHS sent out (TN Appliance Exchange) told us they could not service the Bosch oven. I requested service a second time and this company (C & D Appliance Service) identified the parts that would be required to fix the issue. This company searched for several days and could not find the required parts. I guess our Bosch model was too old to still have parts available.

    Since then I have tried multiple times to reach AHS. Finally, on July 20th, I was able to reach someone in customer service that told me AHS could not locate the parts either, and our oven qualified for a replacement. Customer Service told me that the GE model we would like was recorded in the database, and that I would be receiving an email from the Appliance Purchase Department to discuss the replacement.

    As of today, no one from AHS has contacted me. Prior to today, I have spent over 13 hours on hold for both customer service and the Appliance Purchase Department. Today, I was on hold for the Appliance Purchase for over 5 hours without anyone answering. In my career as an IT analyst, my hourly rate averages $150/hour. It is unacceptable to expect me to spend my time trying to get AHS to honor their contract with us. We have been customers of AHS (again for over 20 years) and paid our premiums on time. I think it is fair to expect you to honor your side.

    If I do not hear from AHS within 24 hours from today, including providing a date that our oven will be replaced, I am going to do several things:
    1 - Contact the Better Business Bureau of middle Tennessee, describing the AHS service we have received.
    2 - Contact as many local Nashville TV stations and consumer advocate groups as I can, describing the AHS service we have received.

    3 – Post a review of the service we have received from AHS on as many social media options as I can find.

    Prior to this, we have been pleased with the service AHS has provided. However, we have heard a number of rumors recently that your service level has been significantly declining, and I have to believe we are seeing it also. The ball is in your court.

    PLEASE NEVER USE AMERICAN HOME SHIELD as your home warranty company. I have been using them, and paying them, for 9 years since I bought my home. Currently my oven in the stove would turn itself ON by itself. The heat ranged from low heat to about 350 degrees in my opinion. To get it turned OFF we had to constantly JIGGLE the oven thermostat over and over, day by day as often as needed.

    I contacted AHS and they ordered a visit by ACCORD APPLIANCE Co in my area. Peter the rep came out in April and said it looks like it needs a new thermostat. He said he'd order it and it will take a week; nothing happened in a week or thereafter. I called ACCORD and they said they had NOTHING in their files to order a new thermostat! I explained previous visit by Peter and they then RESENT Peter to my house, now for SECOND visit. AGAIN he said it was a 'Gas Valve Issue' and he would order the part. I told him the gal at office said that HE was to have ordered it, not them. He said, in total sincerity, that HE would order it. I gave him another week. NOTHING. I called the ACCORD and they said they show that nothing is broken?? I asked to speak with their manager, and gal said it's not their issue and to contact AHS directly.

    I called the customer service number for AHS and it rang and rang and rang. I again called day after and day after that. NO RESPONSE. I called and finally got a machine that says 'leave a message and an AHS rep will call me back'. I did. NOTHING. I called back and the machine said if I wanted to wait it could be up to an hour to hold. I did. NOTHING. I held on phone for 90 minutes. NO ONE came on the phone. I went into FACEBOOK AHS site and write a basic HELP message to have someone call me re c.s. I went into AHS direct site and write multiple times to please have SOMEONE call me re customer service.

    I called an appliance parts store to see what would be needed for us to get the parts. He quoted me a price about $300 for parts and installation, but said it was DANGEROUS for the oven to keep going on and off by itself. AGAIN I called Accord and told them the above. They said sorry they were not concerned. I tried again multiple times to call AHS and STILL NO RESPONSE to a HUMAN to talk with me.

    I am frustrated and at wit's end. We are seniors in our 70's and this is causing my blood pressure to rise. WHY am I paying for this company. The stove is COVERED under the contract. I am hurt, mad and upset. Treated this badly by MY home warranty company is unacceptable. I just wanted to share my story... Please please do NOT buy their warranty.

    Updated on 08/19/2020: The second company came back and said the same thing - the ball valves are seized and may need to be replaced. They also wrote in there that they suggested to be modified because of the way that it's coming out of the home makes it very difficult to work on, which is true. When they wrote that to AHS, they also included in there that the end of the line is connected to my sprinklers. AHS came back and said, "Nope, it's your sprinklers that have a problem. We're not covering it."

    I don't quite know where to go from there. I'm pretty dissatisfied with the service. I had another claim initially when I first got the home back in April. The plumber that came out fixed it. It's from Plumbers, Inc. and I was excited to see the name again 'cause I know they're professional, quick, and good. He fixed the problem, but he told us beforehand when he first came over, "That's not exactly how it was written up in your request. It just said leak. So I don't necessarily have to follow through with this AHS request. Just for future reference, make sure you put XYZ in the request. I could refuse service right now, even though it's a 20-minute fix, and I understand your problem."

    I feel like that same kind of thing is what I already knew coming into this. I was very careful of my verbiage and I knew exactly what was gonna happen which is gonna be like a struggle to get it fixed for them to pay for it. But it felt like it was a deceit, which I didn't expect. It may be an exterior of the home but it's still connected to the main water line, which is the house's line and it's not because I want to water my garden. I, in fact, want to stop the water from leaking altogether out of my house. I don't want my sprinkler system to work. I wanna be able to shut the water off, and that’s the difference.

    I explained it to all three parties and they didn't address the problem. The assessment on AHS’ part was almost like they were seeking out a way not to fix it. Both of the plumbers that came out said the same thing. It has nothing to do the sprinkler system. It's the ball valve and I asked both of them to please include that in the write up and I was very specific ‘cause I knew that this was gonna be a battle because of my first experience with the "verbiage" around that. I'm just gonna cut the lines off and cap them, like I don't need them. I've just have come to the point of just stopping the water flow altogether. What I don't wanna do is spend more of my money fixing a problem that I honestly feel like on principle, this would be a fight. I feel very disgusted by AHS over this. It didn't feel fair and I'm a little ticked off that I've spent $150 now on plumbers that came in and said the same thing. I'm also paying an extra $200 a month right now on water leakage.

    Original Review: I have 2 broken ball valves coming directly out of my home that are faulty and create a water breakage. They connect the copper pipe in the home and under the cement behind my home. I cannot shut off the water coming out of the home because the ball valves (two of them) have failed. I read the American Home Shield contract and paid $75 for a plumbing company to quote us. American Home Shield assigned Plumber's Inc.

    On 31 July a friendly and competent technician looked at the issue and spoke with us for 30 minutes. He agreed that it would be covered by American Home Shield as it was an issue with the ball valves attached by both ends to the home's copper pipes creating a water breakage and NOT a sprinkler issue (sprinkler issues are not covered under Home Warranty). Upon his departure the technician gave me a copy of the quote purchase order # ** and it states: 1. 3/4 ball valve. Both left (half shut off) and right side (completely seized shut, free spinning valve handle).

    I got an email from American Home Shield on 4 August saying that my Home Warranty does not cover my sprinkler system and that my request has been denied. I called them immediately and explained that it is a failed ball valve in the home's copper pipe creating a water breakage. It is not a failed sprinkler system I am trying to repair. Plumber's Inc did not include the TWO failed ball valves in their assessment of my home issue to AHS, instead they wrote to AHS that my sprinkler system would not shut off. This is a flagrant disregard of the issue and only speaks to the symptom which Plumber's Inc knows would not be covered by AHS. I believe the intent is for Plumber's Inc to collect money from American Home Shield and myself after I am unable to get coverage from warranty.

    I am greatly disappointed and upset after reading the above reviews because AHS has obviously had multiple negative experience with Plumber's Inc and they still assigned them to my home. Secondly, I am disappointed with Plumber's Inc for quoting the issue in person as a water breakage issue and 2 faulty ball valves and then "failing to include them" in the official quote to AHS and just saying that it is a sprinkler system issue. EVEN THOUGH I have a copy of the quote from Plumber's Inc stating that it is a water breakage due to two faulty ball valves.

    Since Plumber's Inc failed to correctly report the problem to AHS, now I have to schedule and wait on a 2nd opinion. This is unsatisfactory as this water breakage is continuing to cost me money on my monthly water bill. The water department has also noticed the increase in water usage and called me twice and left notes to notify that there is a water breakage in my home and my numbers are much higher than normal.

    Summary: AHS put my family's health at risk by delaying the repair of my AC. It has been over 7 weeks, and I still don't know when it will be repaired. They bring you in with false advertisements of peace of mind when in fact their actions will drive the most sane person insane. We had to deal with it being 90+ degrees inside our house for weeks with one family member immunocompromised and another in her last weeks of pregnancy. They also didn't take appropriate precautions during the Covid-19 pandemic and put our family at unnecessary risk. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE AHS!

    Overview: I purchased an AHS warranty after advertisements about peace of mind for systems in my home. Given uncertainties with Covid, I thought it was worth the premium price for this supposed peace of mind. Instead I have now gone over 7 weeks without Air Conditioning because AHS can't get their act together and is extending things out in hopes that I break down. I have spent 30+ hours on hold or on the phone with them without response. They have sent multiple contractors to my home (some of whom didn't even service my Air Conditioner), and then they made me get my own contractor only to then deny their quote. If you want anxiety, heatstroke, and potentially a heart attack - go with AHS. If you don't want high blood pressure, anxiety, or your physical/mental health at risk - go with another company.

    Situation: My high velocity air conditioning unit stopped work towards the end of June. I did the basic troubleshooting steps they recommend to avoid the $125 service fee. They didn't work. I filed a claim with AHS. Almost 5 days later they finally sent a tech out. Please note - it was 90+ degrees INSIDE THE HOUSE! On top of that, we had a family member who was pregnant at the time. Can you imagine being weeks away from delivery and having no reprieve from the heat? I hope you never have to.

    When the tech came, they overrode the wiring to get the unit to start and fried the base of my thermostat - read the first technician BROKE MY THERMOSTAT! In addition, the first technician also destroyed my garden by stepping on my plants and just throwing the AC cover on top of the plants. When I brought it to the company's attention they then said they weren't going to service the AC. Read: the first company did further damage to the unit and my house and when I raised the concern they said that I was being unreasonable. It also took them 3 visits to try and "diagnose" the issue. Instead of doing that, they just made matters worse. By jerry-rigging the system, I can't even turn it on now or risk that the unit falls through my attic! Where before at least I had a fan going.

    The second contractor comes and doesn't service units after waiting almost a week to get on their schedule and double checking that they do. Their excuse - O well so and so has only been here a month. After the second contractor didn't service the unit they said they couldn't find another contractor and they suggested I get my own. I did. He came the next day.

    My contractor submitted a quote and diagnoses. They asked him to break down the quote. He said he couldn't do that right that minute because he was driving. The agent instead of accurately writing things down said my contractor REFUSED to give the information. THAT was 100% a lie! On top of that, then my contractor spent 4 days trying to get them the breakdown. THEY NEVER CALLED HIM BACK. I HAD TO CALL THEM AND GET FOLKS ON THE LINE - a process that took HOURS.

    Once they got the break down they insisted on a second opinion. READ: In order to further delay having to pay for the repair the made yet another contractor come into my home. At this point we have a newborn who has yet to be vaccinated. Given all of the Covid risk I asked if that was really necessary. They said yes. So I had to choose between exposing my family to covid or having them die from heat exhaustion.

    Almost 2 weeks after the second opinion, AHS is further delaying by not letting their tech order the part. If my tech would have done it, it could have been done last week. If their tech would have done it, it could have been done a few days ago. At this point we are on week 7 and no estimate and nobody can tell anyone anything.

    Throughout this process I have also tried to have things escalated and for a supervisor to call me back - none of that has happened. When a supervisor call (they call it a research) is placed they say someone will call you back in 24-48 hours. It has been almost 2 weeks since the last research was placed. The reps just say anything to you to free up their phone lines.

    DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT use AHS. It isn't worth the headache. Anything small they will replace, but honestly that is just the cost of your premium. Anything bigger they will drag it out and drive you insane. The inside of my house is physically damaged as well from this. If you didn't get the message DO NOT DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT use AHS.

    My garbage disposal was broken. Northwest Sundance Services came out and were great. They scheduled easily. The guy was here before I anticipated and it took 20 minutes of the time. He just switched it out and was in and out. This is the first time that I've used American Home Shield since I purchased my condo. It’s pretty easy and having it is highly important. I'm a single woman and so if anything happens, I'm gonna probably need help.

    The only thing that I thought was weird was the fact that I pay for the deductible before I even have any idea when the contractors would come, which because of it being a garbage disposal, I could have done it myself or I could’ve had my uncle do it if it was gonna take a long time. Because of COVID, I was a little concerned on how long it was gonna take and I was gonna be without a sink. Maybe they should give the option of time to know when I might be able to get a time slot in, which I guess I understand 'cause they contracted out to a different company. But even if there was a time frame, they should have someone out within three days. But it ended up being fine. Now, on something that's much bigger, I would definitely have to wait it out.

I'm tired of calling and holding on forever and then when I think the problem is solved I have to reach back to them to get it taken care of. I spoke with a representative the other day we were disconnected and she had solved the problem. So, I didn't bother to call back because I would get another person involved in this long drawn out situation. I checked my credit card today and of course someone didn't read of her notes and here I see another charged. Here it is 11:19 at night I'm trying to in contact with them because I received an alert my account have another 75.00 charged. Please get it together. This isn't the first time we had this happen.

    Been With this company for 6 years. On July 1, 2020 my oven was not working. I called for service repair request. After been on hold for 4 hours. My appointment was set for July 9, 2020. The repair company came out to service the oven. I was informed that my oven needed to be replaced. That the parts are no longer available.

    On July 20, 2020 I was told someone from the warranty department would be in touch with me to replace my oven. I have called for two weeks straight no answer. Been on hold for hours then I get someone who do not speak English and they transfer me to another line to set on hold for another 3 hours to be hang up on. It is now August 3, 2020. Still no oven. I have small children. I can not afford to eat out for every meal. I pay $100 for every service call. Plus $65 a month for this service. I need someone from the corporate office to call me or refund my money back. Unacceptable service. Will not recommend to anyone.

    Updated review: Sept. 1, 2020

    The company sent us a check for the costs of repair of our refrigerator in lieu actual repair since we had to replace it. They also returned our initial service fee. This shouldn't have taken 3 months to resolve. It took submitting a bad review to get a reasonable response from the company. It could have been resolved over a month ago by the customer service reps we were talking to. Too long on hold for customer service, service companies that wouldn't service our appliance, and too long getting a resolution.

    Original Review: Aug. 4, 2020

    Refrigerator quit cooling. Fixed, failed a week later. Poor contractor customer service. Last technician said not repairable. After two months of hassle, now AHS wont pay anything to replace or fix. Was told that at least they would send the amount they would have spent on parts and labor but now nothing. Poor customer service. Told they would call back with updates. Nope!

    Avoid at all costs. Save your money and just find quality repair companies. Long hold times. Hard to understand or communicate with call takers. Thought initially that they would do well but now I am so disgusted that I even took a chance on them. I feel totally ripped off. They have done everything possible to avoid paying out. Run, don't walk away from this company. It is a waste of money. A monthly fee, a service call fee, then item not fixed, and then now willing to pay out or they drag it out to where you just give up. We've lost food twice, hours of time on hold or trying to get answers. Weeks without a working refrigerator in Arizona, in the summer. Really? Done, done, done....

    It seemed you could feel that there was air coming through the vent but it wasn't cold. So J&J Mechanical came out the first time. They thought it was just the Freon and they filled that up, and then the following day, it went back out again and then they came back out. They realized that something on the fan was broken. So they went ahead and got that fixed for me and it seems to be working and in order at this time. The people from J&J Mechanical were very personable, respectful and polite. With American Home Shield, I like not having to have to worry if something very expensive’s happening with some piece of equipment, and just having to pay the $100. It’s the first time I've had to use it, so it was super easy using the app. I ended up having people out quicker than if I had called myself.

    I had a fire in the kitchen and I couldn't get it to go out. I called the fire department and they came out. They told me there was a short in the element in the oven, so I called American Home Shield because my warranty covers all my appliances. I held on for 50 minutes on the phone and I was not happy. But once I got to somebody and got over my anger, everything was good. The rep I spoke to was nice, then they contacted the contractor and sent me an email telling me when the techs would be there. And they gave me the number to the company in case the company did not get back with me. But the company did immediately and we had an appointment set up by Thursday for Tuesday.

    The techs who came out were from C & D Appliance Service and they were good. I liked them. I was also glad that AHS didn't send Greenway as I hate them. Other than that, the service from C & D made everything get back to normal. Before that, the fire department shut the power off and I could not use my stove. I wasn't sure if I could use the burners, so I did not operate anything until it got fixed.

    I've had American Home Shield for close to 30 years. I have them for four years at this location because we've only lived here for four years but in our previous location, I was a longtime user of their service. Submitting a claim generally isn't an issue. It's just sometimes getting the issue taken care of is the problem. My biggest problem has been with the air conditioning because they sent a company out and they were nothing but shysters, and they didn't do anything. And because American Home Shield had already dispatched them once, they had to dispatch them again to see if they could fix the problem. The people refused to come out, and they did not communicate with me nor with American Home Shield. This has been going on for weeks now. But that's not American Home Shield’s fault necessarily.

    My biggest problem with American Home Shield right now is the wait time to get through to a human being. Sometimes, I'm on hold for an hour or more. Once, I’ve done an hour and nine minutes just to speak to somebody. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with COVID and they're running a skeleton crew, but it's extremely frustrating, especially when the work isn't getting done.

    Some people came out most recently to work on the refrigerator. I had a puddle of water that would show up on the right side of the refrigerator periodically. Finally I just called. I opened the refrigerator one day, and what I call the lunchmeat drawer just fell to the shelf below it. I thought the technician was gonna put in a request for American Home Shield to deny it or accept it, but he didn't. When I called to check on it, they said that I had to make that request, which I did do this morning. I think that technician was just misinformed. I don't feel like I can really nail American Home Shield. They don't know that some of their contractors suck unless we tell them they do.

When we checked with the HVAC company Wednesday morning, they could not get a serviceman out to the house until Friday which was unacceptable. We had company staying with us and it was 90-plus degree weather. I have cancer and I can't be easily moved to another location.

The girl that she spoke to there was as helpful as she could be in getting the expedited service. They then assigned it to another one that we’re a little more familiar with, and they couldn't schedule it until Thursday. My wife talked directly with the actual company that sent the technician out and they were extremely cooperative and found a way to get someone to us. They said if they got a cancellation, they'd have somebody out as soon as possible. They sent somebody that morning. On Wednesday, the service tech was here and fixed the problem that had stopped the air conditioner. He took information for another issue that he found in the process and they just came back earlier today and finished that installation.

    Home Shield's website could be better. If there's an issue, I'd like to be able to give a little explanation as to what's going on. It prepares people for when they come out and they won't have to be surprised. Also, I'd like somebody to answer the phone. It takes a long time for someone to pick up. I would have to wait for like half an hour. They do call a call center in another country and it has frustrated me. I had to elevate it to someone who is a management person who can understand me a little bit better.

    Other than that, I'm satisfied with them. I had a leak underneath my sink and one of the hoses was leaking. I filed a claim and Roman's Rooter came out. The tech was good.

    We were getting a tune-up on the AC and we went through American Home Shield. The technician did a good job but the cleaning didn't meet standards. He sprayed the AC but when I looked down in it, I still saw debris. We have been associated with AHS for 15 years and if we have a difficulty with a person or a company that comes out, we call them, report it and corrective action is taken. They send someone out and if it's a contractor that do not meet the requirement and we call them, they call the contractor and they also send someone else out, if it's someone that we're not pleased with.

    AHS gives us an opportunity to choose the contractors that are willing to work with us but they could improve on the time that it takes for you to get a call in. When we do it on the phone, whenever we get through, it takes 24 hours for them to get a contractor out. But because of coronavirus, the timeline that you spend on trying to request a service contract could be shortened. We love what AHS does because we stay with them and I would recommend them to my four sons who are all homeowners. When we go through a claim, we haven't had to have an item replaced. It's time that they can do service on it and fix the problem.

    The claims part is fine, it's just that I feel sometimes the wait is way too long to get ahold of someone. That's the only part that I struggle with. I know there is the online option, but sometimes if we have to let them know, like if there is something specific going on about the repair, we cannot just generically select it from the website. AHS needs to let the contractors know a little bit more about the repair. I prefer to call them sometimes, and the wait time is just way too much sometimes as well. Otherwise, the service is pretty good. Once they are online, I don't have any issues with them addressing it.

    From the repairs to the parts division, sometimes if the repair has to go once scheduled, and if there are some parts that need to be ordered, as a property manager, we cannot reach them directly. It's only the reps at American Home Shield who are allowed to get in touch with them directly. Ffor me, to go through them and then get the message across to them, the whole process is very long.

    A friend of mine that I work with was telling me that she was having issues with something in her house and she was telling me she had a home warranty. I thought that you only had a year when you purchase your home and she was telling me no. So, I went online and American Home Shield had the best price and I liked their overall rating. There were a lot of other companies out there but it was the one that I felt comfortable with.

    The circuit board went out on the microwave and I went online to let American Home Shield know. The website was very easy to maneuver through. I had no issues and I was able to get everything in there. They sent me a text and an email within minutes of me filing the claim to let me know what company would be contacting us. Then, once we had the appointment scheduled, we received another email and text saying what time the person was gonna be out there between. It was the same type of texting and email notice with the follow-up as far as the repair.

    G & L Appliance came out. They tested it and replaced the board. Since then, the microwave is working fine and it’s going well. We have a 37-year-old son who works all kinds of off-the-wall schedule, so having the microwave working is something that's very important. The technician was very knowledgeable, helpful and nice. I was discussing with him that I had gone online and found out about it. Someone had said that it was easy to do but I didn't feel comfortable doing it. He explained to us that if any issue like this does come up, to not try to fix it because if we do, the home warranty company will not fix it because we've technically voided the warranty. We always kept our metal rack in our microwave and he says that this is something that shouldn't be done because metal and microwaves don't match. He suggested that we take it out and not leave it in there.

    The contractors were very professional and they don't talk down to you. They talk to you and explain things. If you ask them a question, they have no hesitation about answering you. The technician was even laughing and telling us a story about someone who had caught their stove on fire. Somebody cooked grease in an oven. It splattered and burnt the whole stove up. He explained to us different situations in which they would and they wouldn't be covered.

What I don't like with AHS is when I call now, their call center is in another country and I find that difficult to deal with. There's a language barrier. But it makes sense to have that warranty. You never know when something happens with plumbing or electrical. You can tailor your package based on what you can afford and I like that. I am satisfied and I always recommend them.

    American Home Shield has been very responsive when we've called with a problem. And they've assigned somebody to get out here. So, I'm very satisfied with it. I like the protection of being able to get what would be a major expense covered without having to do it all out of pocket. The water was leaking out of the ice tray and getting down into where the food is and all over the front of the refrigerator. The repairman from Appliance Repair Experts told us that there had been a recall on the icemaker in this refrigerator.

    All Air Heating and Air Conditioning have gone to our house. It's the third service that they've done to our house for our HVAC system. They're wonderful, professional, courteous and on time. Also, the customer representative from American Home Shield was Grace. She's on-point. I had to give her a call just to advise her at the time, and she gave me the notice of when the HVAC tech would be showing up to the house. So, everything was prompt and professional.

    Most recently, we had a frosted AC air line on the Freon system. The gentleman went in. The first thing that I did not check and he checked was the furnace filter, and the issue was the furnace filter. He repaired it in less than 35 minutes because he was also doing the HVAC test of pressure to see if there was any leakage of the AC, Freon, back pressure and the in and outlet. He did that as well just to see if there was any significant change on the AC line. If there was, then, we had a leak. But there wasn't.

    American Home Shield is great. We are on our second year with the insurance. We used to have Liberty Insurance when we barely moved into the house but when we purchased Home Shield, it's been wonderful. The only thing is the price difference. I'm paying less, but I'm paying more in the trade call fee. The trade call service request is a little bit high. It's only for people who are using them more that the cost would be more efficient to them if they're using it throughout the whole year. Other than that, I love the quality. They are prompt. There are no issues as far as getting appointments situated to have a tech or technicians come to our house. The HVAC tech shows promptness, courteousness and attentiveness to the customer. American Home Shield has been recommended to my parents, a couple of my neighbors, and also a coworker of mine.

    My sink wouldn't drain. We didn't know if it was the garbage disposal or a clog. The contractor from Blue Collar Plumbing communicated with me the next day. He was courteous, did the work and answered a couple questions that I had. It was pretty much done in like 20 minutes. The repair made everything be back to normal. It was really inconvenient to have a sink clogged up all the time. Being a part of American Home Shield is really convenient. I'm glad that I can have contractors that come out to my rural area. I'm really grateful for that service to get things back to normal quickly and for the professional, friendly technicians who ended up coming out.

    The claims process was super easy. I got online and told Home Shield I had an issue. Within five minutes, they texted me a phone number to call the contractor. I called the guy and he was out two minutes later. All American Plumbing came out and the tech was very knowledgeable. He jumped right in and took care of it. He was in and out in half an hour. Everything went good. I was fully satisfied.

    Henry, the technician, came out and determined that it was a circuit board that needed to be replaced. I had done a little bit of investigating myself and so, I came to the same conclusion before he did when he came out. He ordered the part and he said it was gonna take a week. I have a tenant in this house and to my delight, the contractor got the part the next day. The boss and Ace, the technician, came out. The boss said that there was a missing piece. I said that Henry took it. He was supposed to order another part. In addition to the board, there was a tensioner on the belt and he said that Henry never told him that. So, he Jerry-rigged something up and it didn't quite work. It's making a noise and it still hasn't been fixed. So, I called them back and told them. I said that he needs the original part. He said he was looking for it and he would bring it back.

    The boss had a little mess-up with Henry not bringing him the part that needed to be reordered. He got the circuit board much quicker than I thought but the missing part still is missing. He appears to be responsive although it's been a couple of weeks. If that part had been there, then it would've been done. But it works. When we first got an American Home Shield referral, we got two and we picked the one that had good ratings. The first one they gave us had Yelp ratings of 1 or 2. They always seem to get the crappy people the first shot or if there's only one that they offer, then they're the terrible ones because I have some bad experiences on another one. Ace had a 5 rating and lots of people, and the other one had a 1 or a 2 and a lot of people didn't like them. So, we took Ace.

    I'm still fighting with American Home Shield, who had one of those 1 rated companies. This is for a kitchen stove that had a vent problem at a different house. It took about three weeks to get a part and the contractor was very slow. We had a renter in that house too and they came two days before the renter was to come in in April, and found out that the part they ordered wasn't the problem at all. Then, the two repair guys said that it was a very old unit and there were no parts, so it was gonna have to be condemned. So they would go back to American Home Shield and tell them to condemn it. The guy asked if we wanted them to just to leave the thing out since we were getting a new one. I said "Sure." So, they didn't put it back in. It was partially disassembled on the counter.

    I waited for three days but I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to go buy one and put it in. I'll just do the cashout. I waited for the call from the people who approves that and offers a cash buyout. The renter was coming in two days and needs a stove. About a week later, I got a note that I have been scheduled for a new repair person to come out. It was a little late for that. The thing has been disassembled and probably has been thrown away. The part that wasn't gonna work or at least they said was obsolete had no replacement parts. So, I said that it has already been removed and I just want the cashout price. I may have been stonewalled probably by the COVID but they had the inability to close the deal on anything. They said that the repair hasn't been closed. They need to send somebody out to look at it. I said that it’s not there and there's nothing to see. It has been replaced. Their contractor told me it was irreparable.

    AHS said that they couldn’t turn me over to the cashout department until somebody weighs in on this thing. I asked who has to weigh in and the rep said it was the field service manager. So I had about three calls into them and everybody promised to take care of it and call the next day. They didn't call back. There were some notes in the system that the field service manager was contemplating it but it was a complete breakdown in contractor quality control.

    AHS gets the crappiest contractors and stick them out, unless they give you a choice, in which case, sometimes you get good ones, if you can choose. But then, they stick you with one and they have you come out and you got no alternative but to go and pay another $75 to $125, depending what your deposit is, to get a second opinion. Only when a second opinion is acceptable do you get to discount the first service call. So, it's a cluster. Other things have been very happy but that stove has been a disaster.

    I'd like to see some resolution on a March issue where one part of the service guy said that when they called the Thermador, there were no more parts. But then, the owner of that contracting shop sends it off to somebody else. I didn't order a second opinion because I took their word. They're the experts. So now, I'm in limbo with $2,000 out of pocket and getting screwed by them. For an air conditioning replacement, they came out and gave me a quote. I liked it to go to cash-out. It took a little time to get it but that seemed to be smooth.

    The biggest flaw of AHS is in their quality of contractors. They don't vet these guys with real world. They should pull up a Yelp and when you get a bunch of 1's in terms of ratings, that ought to have their radar pinging loudly that these guys are gonna be problems. When they're 4 or 5's, they're probably not gonna have problems. So their vetting process for contractors is hit or miss, at least in Houston. Maybe it's better in other places.

    I had two people coming in for a claim I had with American Home Shield. The first contractor who showed up looked at the heater and immediately assumed that the furnace had been broken for a long time. I contested the contractor’s decision. A second one came in and he was surprised that the first contractor wanted to replace the whole unit, which I never asked for. I just wanted the thing to be fixed. The second guys took care of it and did a great job. They replaced a motor and a switch. It was fixed the same day. I don’t know why the first contractor wanted to replace the whole unit when it was something easy to repair. My AC is working great now and I was very happy with what they did.

    The insurance company was very helpful although, in the beginning, they just went by what the first contractor was saying. They tried to deny the claim until I put a little more pressure on them saying that was not the case. The first contractor put in that the unit was very old like my unit had been broken for a long time. But that was not the case at all. They just wanted to put a whole new unit in.

    American Home Shield came with the new house and I just renewed it. I've had their contractors come out for a few problems in the past year since I've been using them and I found the experience to be a positive one. Recently, my air conditioner was not working. Flamingo Cooling and Heating came out and fixed it. It's summertime, so it was vital to have working air conditioning. I submitted the claim through the American Home Shield website and I do find it user-friendly. Not from the website but they tell you who they've assigned it to and I took it upon myself to call that company right away. They were professional and on time.

    The contractors came out a total of three times for our claim. The first time, we talked. Then they came back to put a part. Then, whenever we would use the dishwasher, it was still leaking. So we had to call them to come back out again and fix it. The first time I submitted the claim with AHS, it was easy-breezy. The second time, I was not able to do it online and I had to call. I was on hold forever. But they ended up calling me back to get the appointment scheduled.

    My broil in my oven was not working and my washing machine was dripping water when it was not in use. All the buttons kept jumping and syncing. The young man from Appliance Plus was wonderful. He was patient and very nice. He took care of me beautifully. He was with a mask. One appliance took him a little bit longer to get the part, but he was really a pleasure to have. Thumbs up. My only problem with is getting through to AHS. I could be on the phone for an hour to contact. I found a different contact number that they give the option of getting a phone call back and that's been a life changer. I just put in the request and they call me back whenever there is someone available. Overall, I am very happy with American Home Shield. I've recommended it to a lot of my friends and they have had good experiences.

    American Home Shield's service has been absolutely wonderful. I like their response and how quick it is getting someone out as well as the quality of people that come out to service. The online app is great too. They send emails for follow up saying that you were scheduled and your work was completed so you know when something's closed. And when I had the issue with the air conditioning and needed someone to come back out, it was very quick. I'm very satisfied.

    For an issue with my AC, they had Cool Image Heating out. They had face masks, practiced social distancing, and wiped down whatever they touched. The first time they were out, the AC was working so they weren't able to check anything. When I called them back out, they found the problem right away. The second time around was great. Their tech was very friendly, informative, and good. He fixed the problem.
