    My pool pump was not circulating and the contractor fixed the problem in a timely manner. They were polite and everything was good. Some companies are better than others but the majority of the contractors from American Home Shield have been good. I had an air conditioning company when we first called out that was not professionals and I did not trust their opinion, which was why I got a second opinion from AHS. But otherwise, everybody else has been fine.

    I have recommended American Home Shield and a couple of people have signed up. Doing a claim online is a good process. As soon as you put your information in, you get an email back. Within minutes, you get assigned to a vendor. The only thing is, like anything, weekends can be a problem. It depends on how the person is working on bad weather. But other than that, my experience has been great. American Home Shield responded promptly and got someone out. The tech has been here before and I was pleased with everything. He went in the unit because he cleaned up some stuff. But I'm kind of having the same problem that's why I called back. American Home Shield responded to my callback and reassigned them to come back out. The unit is working but not like it should be working to me.

    When you call American Home Shield, maybe the prompts could be a little better but they do answer. Sometimes it’s someone who doesn’t speak English very well, but they’re usually very polite and helpful. They try to help. So, getting the appointment has been easy. You get emails saying, “Your service person is on the way,” and all that is good. It's fine to submit a claim to American Home Shield. Sometimes I find the companies that come out are not up to par. The last plumbing company we had was good, but the one before that did the job and left a drip, and it caused damage to a ceiling we had just repaired. I had just paid someone to cover a popcorn ceiling and put drywall up. That was outside of Home Shield. The last company I had for plumbing finally sent someone out to clean things up, but then the ceiling fell out of the insurance. They said it was not part of the claim.

    Someone was at the house once, and it happened to be at the house that was being worked on. They said, “You need to get a plumbing company. This doesn’t happen.” But also my husband had to go back recently. There was still a drip from something that had been fixed and he had to tighten something. Sometimes maybe they're limited in what they can do.

    My concern about staying with American Home Shield is that an appliance will get so old, and it's almost not worth the repair. They did repair a refrigerator some years back, but that refrigerator is so old. The shelves are falling out of the door, and it's really something that should be replaced. But they seem to find a way to patch it together.

    They have improved in the wait time in getting the appointment and setting it up and communicating with your email about your appointment. In the past, when I first was with Home Shield, you would have to hang on the phone forever to even set up the appointment. The biggest to work on is the companies that are hired. I don't know if they can do better on that but I'm sure they have their cost to consider.

    I have a built-in microwave and everything was working but it wasn't heating. I went online and booked an appointment with AHS. My mother-in-law recommended we get their service when we came to Virginia and submitting a claim with them was easy. Then, the tech called me and scheduled a date. When the tech came out, my experience with him was excellent. He did a thorough job and afterwards, he showed me what the issue was. He had to change something in the microwave and now, it's working fine.

    My recent claim to American Home Shield was to fix the fan. The ventilator from my furnace was broken. I submitted it online, so it was really easy. Somebody came out the same day, but because I contacted the customer service via chat and I asked urgency because we're so cold that day. After three or four hours, no one called me back from the company that was assigned. So, I called again via phone. They put me together with that company that was assigned, and they could attend me at the end of the day. They fixed it the same day. I was well supported by American Home Shield. It was a good experience.

    Our sink wouldn't drain. First, it was draining slow. And then, we tried to treat it, but then the drain wouldn't drain at all. At the same time, we found that our washing machine wasn't draining either. It was leaking into the baseboards that we had just recently put, and around the thing. The plumber came out. And the same day, he went and fixed the issues. Dude was super polite and super respectful for the space. He had a mask on the entire time. My wife and I have a two-year-old, so that was considerate of him to have that on for the whole time he was there. As soon as he went in, he did whatever he needed to do and fixed the issue.

    Everything that he did, he was open as far as explaining what it was that he was actually doing for us to get a visual. Nothing in the dark. The work, everything that he did was very transparent. So, it was comforting. He suggested that we continue to put some boiling water down to clear the drains. We've been doing that. Ever since we haven't found that issue rise up again. I recommend that plumber to anyone who would need it. If my parents down the road needed some repairs with their house, he would definitely come recommended.

    I had a third party company come out and do a furnace tune-up. When he checked the furnace, he said that my unit, the motor was making a noise that it shouldn't be making. That meant that there was some component that was rubbing. He couldn't really get into it without taking the whole unit apart. He said that it could last a day or it could last 12 years. That was what I called them for. But they said because it's not broken, they're not gonna fix it. If you purchase a home that's not brand new, things are gonna have to be addressed. Something as vital as an HVAC unit and a furnace shouldn't have to break before it gets fixed if we know there's something that's wrong. But overall, the people that I dealt with at AHS were very friendly and helpful.

    We've used American Home Shield quite a bit, and this recent experience we had was by far the quickest, fastest, easiest transaction that we've had with them. The tech from United Home Air was great. He was on time, professional and quick. He wore his mask and he put on booties before coming into the house. He had the parts that were needed but the first part didn't work quite right. He called me and said he wasn't sure about the part but he said that if it stopped working, to let them know and I did. Then he was out the very next morning with a better part. The unit has been working fine ever since, so I'm very impressed and pleased with them. This was by far the best interaction we've had with American Home Shield and their contractor.

    Our previous experiences were a little bumpy but the worst was on our furnace. It took two weeks to get anybody out here and it was constant calls with American Home Shield. The first contractor didn't show up. Then finally, the second one did show up but it was a couple of days later. So it has been a real hit-and-miss as far as service and timing. But we've been pretty pleased with the coverage.

    We asked DT Electric for a couple of things and a gentleman came out pretty quickly. He tested some outlets that we had in the kitchen because our home inspector had previously mentioned that they were not the GFCI outlets. The gentleman mentioned that switching those out would not be covered by the warranty so he didn't do that work. But he did switch a non-functioning switch for us on the stairway. He was great and very friendly. He walked me through what was going on and he let me know what was and wasn't going to be covered. Luckily, the issue didn't turn out to be something with the breakers, just with the switch itself. He explained to me what I could do to get a couple of lights fixed up in the house too since we had a very high ceiling. So it was a good experience.

    I've had two good experiences and two not so great ones with American Home Shield. DT Electric was a phenomenal one. Then the garage company that came out to do the garage was pretty good. Even with that, we had to pay some out of pocket returns for it and it was not really explained why it wasn't covered. But my biggest issue that I had was we had a pipe that burst. It was on a weekend and I called the number to ask if we could get someone to come out. I had to go out and shut off my water main. But the representative didn't seem too knowledgeable. I tried explaining to him what the situation was. But he just kept trying to lead me down different questions instead of listening to what the issue was.

    Finally, the representative said that he'd call someone and that they would reach out to me to schedule a time. I waited about an hour or two. I called the company and the company had a pre-recorded message saying that the home warranty representative should have called to schedule via an emergency line that they had. I had to call back again and explain the situation and I was put on hold and they tried to figure out what happened. All of this was wasted time. I mentioned before that it was a pipe on the exterior wall for my faucet for where the water hose was connected out front. But when the plumber came out after waiting all this time, he just looked at it and he said that it was not under warranty. He said that it was going to be $700 and he couldn't do it now. So that was really not a great experience.

He said that’s not anything that they did. Then, we called a local contractor who said there was a leak coming out of the main drain at the bottom of the tub and it had been damaged before, so we're going to pay them to repair the work. But there was snow on the ground when the tech came in and he had booties. He put them on his shoes before he came to the house. So, that was very nice.

    We asked the contractor to come because our registers were not registering. They were not heating properly so we needed to have the heat pump checked. The technician was terrific. However, I wanted him to check another heat pump and he said he couldn't because there would have to be a separate order. We've been part of HSA for many years and apparently things have changed. He was only allowed to look at one. The other two heat pumps should have been checked at the same time as they had been before previously if we had a problem. AHS should send out information to policyholders to what their rules are and if they've changed from what they were that I had before. I also didn't know that HSA was brought out by them.

But we didn't really pay too much attention to what was going on.

    On December 15, we finally turned the heater on but we couldn’t put it above 70 degrees because the breaker would trip. It was every single time that we put it above the 70 degrees. So I had to file another claim and then Interior Air came out. They said that it was not an issue with the HVAC system or the furnace system. They said that it was an electrical issue. So an electrician company came out. They said it wasn't their issue, and that it was an HVAC issue. I was on the phone with American Home Shield for a very, very, very long time and they scheduled an appointment with them again. Both companies called me and said that they were going to be going out here for no reason.

    At that point, I called American Home Shield again, canceled those appointments, and said, “Please send me a second opinion because this is what both companies have said. They have both said, it's each other's fault.” So they assigned West End Mechanical and the gentleman that came out was amazing. He told us that there was electrical stuff where the wire was loose. But he said that the part that had been changed by the previous HVAC company was installed incorrectly. He mentioned that it was wired incorrectly. So he rewired that. But he thought that there was still some electrical stuff going on. So Seven Hills Electric came out, which was also amazing. Both West End Mechanical and Seven Hills Electric explained everything. They didn't point fingers at anybody else.

    I had trouble with the icemaker on my refrigerator and another appliance. I did a claim on the webpage of AHS and it was easy. Then, two different technicians from AT Appliances, Inc. came out and they did the repair on the two items. They were both done this week. All in all, my experience with AHS seemed seamless.

    The tech for my request on my lock was very thorough and he took his time. He's the best. But, I was very disappointed with the tech for my electric stove and washer. Normally, what I do before calling to submit the claim is that I look at the catalog and see how to use the warranty. But, there wasn't one so I called to have it. I wanted that the electric stove tech to fix the light on the vent. He said that it would be too expensive for him to fix it and that he suggested for me to go to Home Depot, get the vent and have them service.

    So I went to Home Depot and the salesperson suggested that I talk to American Home Shield and see if that's what they want me to do. I told the salesperson that I came to check how much the replacement vent would cost. Home Depot's salespersons said that I would have to go online to get the brand that I wanted. All I wanted was for the tech to fix the light that wasn't going on. I don't know if AHS wants to replace the vent because the tech didn't want to do the job.

    Soap wasn't draining into my washer that has a little gadget on one side where I put Clorox on one side and the other side would have soap. Apparently, I was doing it wrong. So, I used one of those pods and threw it inside. The same tech pulled the pod out and said "Eek! It's so dirty.". I said "My god, what's wrong with him?", washed the pod, put it together, and put it back. I don't know what that technician put in his report. I've never had a technician tell me to get a replacement at Home Depot and have Home Depot put it in. I've always had technicians saying that they can get the replacement or that they will be back. Other than this experience, I'm very pleased with AHS. They took care of everything and responded quickly. When I call, their contractors make the appointment the next day or the day following. Everybody should have American Home Shield's warranty.

    My wife complained the water was cold in the house. H & K Plumbing was sent out. There were two thermostats. One thermostat was set at 110, and one was set about 125. Both needed to be 125 degrees and they adjusted those and that cost me $125. That's something I could have done myself. The only thing was that American Home Shield said they would respond within 48 hours. They talked about they could respond between 7:00 am and midnight. I didn’t want anybody coming over to my house at midnight. I wanted to get the best sleep so I did not make myself available. Then they said they’ll be in the house from 8:00 am to midnight. I told them to come during regular working hours as we got things to do. I didn’t like that, that was why it took them four or five days to get there from the initial call to the day they fixed it. But other than that, they did fine. They did not try to sell me a new hot water heater.

    Versus other companies, AHS's contractor was more prompt. They called me right away rather than 12 hours later or me having to call them. Other companies say the contractor will call me within 24 hours and some of them take the full 24 hours. My drain was clogged and the plumber took an hour to figure out where to go and unclogged it. I showed him where all the drain outs were and his first couple of attempts were unsuccessful. He ended up having to get a 50-foot Roto-Rooter to go all the way through. It makes me nervous when I feel I have to give directions to experts but I'm glad he did the job. I had gone online before he arrived and his company had some pathetic reviews. But considering that it was just a clogged drain, they did a fine job.

    We had a funny noise coming out of our furnace. Since we heat with natural gas, I called the natural gas people. They came out and they told me those were unfamiliar sounds, so I had to call a heating and air company. So, I called Home Shield and they told me that they would have somebody, a vendor, reach out to me. That was at three o'clock in the morning and they told me that if nobody contacted me by 7:00 or 8:00 the morning, I should call them back. So I did, because the vendor that they had originally set me up with never called. Home Shield then told me that they would reach out to that vendor one more time and when they didn't get a response either, they sent out this last heating and air company. And their tech came out on the same day and the man seemed to know what he was doing.

    When he arrived, the heat didn't make that sound anymore because Virginia Natural Gas told me to turn the heat off and not to turn it back on until the company came out. The tech said that the filter needed to be changed, so he changed the filter. Then, the foil wrapping around the furnace that seals the two pieces together was loose and he rewrapped that. He told me that if I heard the sound again, I should record then I should call him and he would come back to see. But he looked inside the furnace and said it was running smoothly as far as he could see.

    Other than that, I'm still having one issue with my refrigerator. I called in a ticket before Thanksgiving since my refrigerator was not cooling and the icemaker was not making ice. The techs came out they fixed the icemaker, but the refrigerator was still not cooling. So, I called back the company who came out to fix the icemaker and they came back out. They ordered a part and they put the part on the refrigerator. They said to give it a day or two to see if the refrigerator starts to cool with the new part.

    When it didn't cool down like it should, I call them back and this was on December the 8th. They came back out and said they had to order another part as the other one was defective. We've been going on since then about this with the refrigerator and it's still not cooling properly. I've called the contractor that came out and they said that they're going to look in to see if the part that came a particular day was our part, but I haven't gotten any feedback from the company.

    I've called Home Shield back and told them that my refrigerator is still not cooling. The company was going to order parts. And Home Shield, the last time I talked with them, they told me that the parts had been delivered and they reached out to the contractor and they didn't get an answer so they sent, I guess, a text or email and I hadn't heard anything from them yet. So I don't know what's going on with the contractor. But the refrigerator still is not fixed.

    Nocona: Is there anything that you think American Home Shield could do to improve the process overall? What would you like to see them do differently to make it an easier process?

    MONICA: Really, I guess it just depends on the contractor. Home Shield, they take the complaints. They get you paired up with a contractor and they text you the information who's coming out or who's supposed to be coming out and all. And now, let me tell you this. I had my washing machine to go out on me and they could not replace it because they didn't have one in stock equivalent to the one that I had. So then they sent me the check to purchase one on my own. I had to go out and purchase one on my own.

    That process was fine. I would say it just depends on the vendors that they use, the contractors that they use. Like I said, for the most part, I've had a smooth, I guess, fix to my appliances, but this particular one for the my refrigerator, and this company had come out to do my washing machine too. They fixed my washing machine too. And the freezer, like I said, the icemaker’s making ice but I don't know what broke down in the refrigerator process. I don't know why they have been responding back to me. And Home Shield, they're very nice when you call them. I can't see what else they could do to make the process any easier because it’s fairly all cut and dry. [Laughs]

    You call them. They take the complaint and then they set you up with contractors, whoever’s gonna come out to fix the problem. Right now, I can't say. I can't think of anything.

    Nocona: If you were going to rate your overall experience with American Home Shield from one to five, a five means you'd still recommend the program for other people and a one means you're very dissatisfied with how they've handled your claims, where do you think you’d put them?

    MONICA: I would give them a 5 because it's very convenient to me when something breaks down and you don't have to worry about well, who am I gonna call, looking in the phonebook or online as to who you can call to come out to fix the problem. The only thing is this particular problem with my refrigerator, the last time I call Home Shield, they said that if I didn't hear anything, to call them back, and they would move my request up the ladder, I guess, to the next level of service in the company, I guess. And I don't know if they will send somebody else out to fix the problem. I just hadn't had a chance to call them back myself because I've got other things going on [Laughs] and I'm trying to get things -- one fire put out before the other. But I would rate them as a 5 because it takes the worry out of trying to find somebody to come to fix your problem.

    Nocona: Is it okay if we do share your comments as a review for American Home Shield to help people that are considering getting coverage?

    MONICA: Sure. Sure. Yeah. Like I say, it takes the worry out of trying to find somebody to come to fix the problem. And you can dial a number and they can find somebody for you and send them out.

    Nocona: Right. It takes out some of the legwork.

    MONICA: Yes, yes. But since I'm talking to you -- I don't know if you know or not -- but if I can't get in touch with the people that are coming out now or did come out, will they send my request to another company to have them to come out? I don't know what the problem is. I don't know if the person is sick.

    Nocona: I think there is a time limit on it. But I think you should definitely call customer service back at American Home Shield and let them know that you haven't heard or been responded to, and that you're kind of concerned that maybe they've dropped the ball and you might need somebody else to come take care of the problem.

    MONICA: Yeah. Because with the pandemic going on, you don't know whether people are sick and can’t do what they promise to do. And then too,, if they're sick, you don't really want them coming in your house. [Laughs] You don't know. But yeah, but I would give them a 5 because it takes the worry out of finding somebody for your troubles.

    I placed a service call via the online service that American Home Shield offers. I was given a contractor and they made an appointment four days later to come out to the home which they did. They stated that we needed to get a new generator. They said American Home Shield would pay for the generator but we would have to pay for the freon. They quoted $980 and we would have to pay them in cash. I kind of got really worried about that price because it didn't make sense to me. I called American Home Shield back and asked if I could do a second opinion. I also asked them if I did a buyout, how much would that be. I had several conversations but no one gave me an answer. They kept saying that this hasn't been approved yet but the company called me back and said it has been approved.

    I asked if I could talk to a manager and was told no. Another friend had given me another company to call and have them come out and look. I did on my own and they said they are contracted with American Home Shield also and for me to call them to tell them that I wanted to do a second opinion. I did again and they finally approved. I told them I had a company name. The young man came and he did say we needed a generator and that American Home Shield will be responsible for that. He quoted the freon for only $400. He also explained to us why we would need freon. He said, “You don't want any particles getting into the new equipment that we put on the system.” He made us understand. He was patient with us, giving us clear understanding of how the system works. I enjoyed these guys because they came in and did the job.

    I did not have a problem because they said they take credit cards. I don't even go to the bank anymore. Everything I do is electronic. It made no sense for that other company to tell me that they had to have it in cash. I've hired American Home Shield to be my home warranty company and I feel that as my home warranty company, they need to work on my behalf.

    We have had American Home Shield for two and a half years. Their claims process is good. As soon as we submitted a claim that our refrigerator isn't working, they came out here and everything went well. We've got an Electrolux French door refrigerator and the repairman came to see it. Over the course of three years, we've had this repairman out five times, and this time, he pointed out to us that there are various signs that the refrigerator is falling apart. There's some sort of plastic part, on the inside of the refrigerator part, where they see five visible hairline cracks. I never noticed them, but he pointed them out to me and said, “These are cracks. You cannot maintain an environment like you need to with these cracks.”

    The repairman wheeled the refrigerator out and showed how the back sheet metal was separating from the insulation inside. He said once this sheet metal separates from inside and it's got rust running down the back, there's almost nothing he can do to make it so that it won't just happen again after he fixes it. He can make the refrigerator work again, but he's gonna have to return to do it again later on. He also showed me that there was this ice building up both in the refrigerator and in the freezer. The whole thing is beyond repair, so he said that he was going to submit the paperwork to AHS and let them know that the refrigerator is irreparable at this point.

    I called American Home Shield and they said they had so many calls in front of me that they said, “Do you want us to call you back?” I said, "Yes." I went ahead and let them put me on a list of people to call back, but they haven't called us back yet. Apart from that, AHS also fixed our air conditioner awhile back and that turned out to be a permanent fix. Ever since they fixed it, it hasn't broken down again, so we feel good about them.

    The motor on the washing machine wouldn't get into gear and spin. Technicians came out and assessed the problem. About 10 days later, they brought the part back and fixed the washing machine immediately. Making a service request to American Home Shield is fairly simple. You are asked the make and model of the equipment. If I provide that, the technicians usually have parts available when they come out. They should come out prepared with the most common parts. They already make you wait anywhere from three to seven days for the appointment and another week or two for the replacement of the part.

Last Friday, I waited online for an hour and a half. This Wednesday afternoon, I did that again. AHS needs to do something about this. I put the phone on speaker and I do my thing. But, after an hour and a half, life needs to go on. I cannot pull myself together until a week later and the same thing happens again.

    For my GE appliance, part of the wait time last year was for the parts to come in. But I had trouble getting the contractor to book a time with me. A different contractor came from the one who ordered the parts. He said that I don't have a GE extended warranty so he cannot perform service. There's some disconnect 'cause I have a warranty with AHS and I've never called contractors directly. All appointments go through AHS. Somebody dropped the ball and this needs to be looked into.

    I had a short in an outlet in my kitchen. I called AHS and turned it in. The company called really quick and sent somebody really quick. They had it fixed in about an hour. They were really professional. I can't say enough good about Zenor Electric. But when I had a sewer issue, I had a sewer plug and I called it in on Thursday night, and we had to sit through a weekend with a sewer plug. I wasn't really happy about that.

    We tried to turn the furnace on but it kept on turning on and off over the course of several hours. So, the contractor came out and replaced something. It recently started again yesterday so I scheduled them to come out again. Generally, you can make phone calls and contact American Home Shield but over the past so many months, because of COVID-19, it's been more difficult. But you can submit a request online and that's usually okay. Also, once you're able to contact them, they're responsive.

    Long Lane Home Services came out in the home a few times for different appliances and I have never had a problem with them. The process to submit a claim with AHS was also not hard but after the claim was submitted, I had a problem trying to get assistance with issues. So the problem was always on American Home Shield’s end, never on the technician’s end. They need to not have their services overseas. The language barrier is an issue and a supervisor should be available when requested.

    My most recent experience was the worst experience that I've ever had dealing with a company in my life. In October, I submitted a request to have my dishwasher serviced. Long Lane came then they advised that the dishwasher was repairable and that they would order the parts. Unfortunately, because of COVID, the parts were on backorder and I totally understood that. Every now and again, I would call on Long Lane and they'd say they were going to check to see if the parts were available. They would say it was out of their control and we just had to wait to get the part. And they would always be gracious enough to let me know what was going on.

    Around December, I called and asked how long was I supposed to wait for these parts to come in. It was not a Long Lane issue, so I tried to find out what my other options were from American Home Shield. From December up until last week, I was getting different answers every time I called. They said there was nothing they could do and that I just had to wait for the parts to come in. They also said they would escalate the issue to another department and that somebody was going to call me back. But no one would ever call back. I would ask to speak to a supervisor and they would say that a supervisor wasn't available because the rep I was talking to was working from home and couldn't transfer calls. But I was told an email would be sent and the supervisor was going to call me back the next day. But if the supervisor ever called me back, I would be a millionaire.

    I would give it a couple of days, then I would call back. In December, I spoke with someone from AHS who told me that that was what they were going to do. The rep said that they were sending an email to Long Lane asking them to submit documents to tell them that the parts were still on backorder. Then once AHS gets that, they were going to escalate my claim. Then, three weeks ago, someone from AHS told me that I needed to call Long Lane myself and tell them that at this point, since it was taking too long for the parts to come in, I was requesting a cash out. But I told them that I felt like that was something that they should do. So, they said they'd call for me and that somebody was going to call me back. But I never got a call back.

    About two weeks ago, I ended up calling Long Lane myself and told them what AHS was telling me. They said they were going to call to see if the parts were still on backorder and if they were, then they'd submit the information to American Home Shield for me. And they did that with no problem. Then last week, I talked to a supervisor but only because I could hear that the person was in a call center. I could hear the people in the background and I was not hanging up until he got a supervisor on the phone.

    But I ended up submitting a report to the Better Business Bureau. It was ridiculous and that should not be how businesses were conducted. I just needed my dishwasher repaired or replaced. Once I sent that to the Better Business Bureau, all of a sudden, the ball was rolling. AHS was calling me back and they sent me information. So the Better Business Bureau sent that request, but I still ended up calling American Home Shield. And again, this was when I could tell that the guy was in the call center. He was said that the supervisor couldn't use his phone because of COVID and I totally understood that. But he said that the supervisor was going to call me immediately and the man did end up calling me at the time.

    But before I got the supervisor, I was on the phone for 20 minutes with this person because I wasn’t letting up. He was telling me that they were waiting to still hear from a department to determine if they were going to do the cash out. But when I got on the phone with the supervisor, he said that American Home Shield was going to see if they could find the parts themselves. But I was with the other guy for 20 minutes before talking to the supervisor and he never once mentioned that to me. They were telling me different things and I've lost all faith in the company.

    Then, the supervisor told me that he didn't know how long it was going to take for them to locate the parts. So, I'd have to wait again. He said that as soon as they hear something, they'd let me know and that he was going to give me a $75 credit for all of the trouble. If I’ve seen the credit, again, I'd be a millionaire. I haven't even gotten it and I’m not even going to look into the credit. The supervisor also told me that if the parts came, he would let me know the next day. But the next day was when I got an email saying that they were just going to replace the dishwasher. This has been going on since October and it is now February 4th. The dishwasher is supposed to come tomorrow, so we'll see.

We've had to use American Home Shield a couple times and it's been handy. I would recommend someone for sure. However, it’s either there's a language barrier or the reps are not homeowners and don't understand issues. I was trying to explain what the problem was, and the rep didn't understand at all.

    I have a daughter who just bought a house and it came with American Home Shield. I had one at a house 10 years ago so I thought to get it again. The goal is to be able to have coverage and not spend a fortune when repairs are needed. Greenway Home Services came out about a week ago to fix a furnace. I was unavailable the day they were gonna come so they ended up sending someone out on Saturday or Sunday. They said that it was a bad igniter and they replaced that. It worked for about two days so I've got a recall on them. They're coming out this afternoon between 3:00 and 8:00 to fix it again. The technician seemed to be fine. I wish that they had fixed it right the first time but I don't know the extent of how things work. By design, American Home Shield requires contractors to attempt to fix things multiple times before they say maybe it's a bigger problem that they need to replace something.

    We had the first plumber come out and he opened the door on the garbage disposal, opened the door for the cabinets there, and said that it was cracked. He turned in a report to American Home Shield. But whatever report he turned in, it said that something hard had been in the garbage disposal. The garbage disposal was old and I didn't put anything hard in it.

    When I went to appeal the decision, the American Home Shield rep sent me to their appeals group that was just another person. I was in customer service for a long time and I'd I know when you transfer me to a supervisor or to the person next to you. That person said that there was nothing that they could do. So I said that I wanted my thing returned because if they were telling me that I couldn't get my garbage disposal fixed, I would have to pay for somebody to come out and give me a second opinion. I went back and forth on this foolishness for two days. When the plumber from R.E. Willard came out, he actually opened the cabinet door, looked at the garbage disposal, and said that it was indeed cracked. I told him that I didn't crack it and the guy said that it was no problem and he would replace it. He did a very good job and it was great dealing with him.

    American Home Shield needs to improve its customer service line when a customer has a problem. Submitting a claim is pretty easy but getting to their customer service is ridiculous. You dial the number of customer service and it takes you to the Philippines. They send these people over there a script to read and they cannot do anything other than reading the script. If you ask them a question that makes them have to think or do anything other than that script, they can't do it. Then, they tell you that they'll transfer you to a supervisor who will call back within an hour.

    If I have a difficult problem, I normally ask if the customer service if they can get me to somebody in the United States. They'll tell me that they cannot do that. So you have to call the number back and maybe you'll go to the United States. I did that for four hours. I finally got to someone in the United States after two days because I went on their chat line online, and I said that I needed to talk to someone in the US and that person called me back.

    I've been with American Home Shield for a long time­. For the most part, the technicians come out, look at the issue and fix it. But some of their contractors are a little shady. They just come and look and they really don't want to do the job. But once I got somebody who really wanted to work, it was a great experience. This is the first time I've had a bad experience with American Home Shield. But with all I had to go through, I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

    I submitted the claim for the microwave back in November and I just had it repaired two weeks ago. American Home Shield sent a technician out from General Electric the first time. He diagnosed the problems because supposedly, he ordered a part. He told me soon as a part came in, I was supposed to call back and reschedule so they could come back and install it.

    That part came in two weeks later and I could never get anybody to come back out. I'd make calls almost daily. It wasn't until about two weeks ago that I was able to get somebody to reschedule and come out. They ended up sending out somebody from Lowe's, not from GE. When the technician from Lowe's came out, the first thing he asked me was how did the guy come up with the solution. He asked me if he took the microwave out. I told him no. Bottom line is the part that was wrong wasn't even the part that he ordered. But the Lowe's technician was able to fix it and it's been working properly ever since.

    That was my first my interaction with AHS since I've been paying and I was completely disappointed. The other issue is customer service needs to be addressed some kind of way because I could never get beyond customer service of American Home Shield. I could never speak to anybody else. I could never escalate the problem. I got to a position where I've been on hold for 40 minutes and they said they'd call me back. They never called back. I don't know what was going on between them and GE, but I couldn't get that relationship to work either where somebody would come out. The overall experience was terrible.

So, I didn't have to pay another $75 to have somebody go out there and fix the problem. The other thing is with HVAC. This has happened more than once where I've got a contractor go out, he says that the problem is resolved, or the tenant says that the problem is resolved, then the same problem repeats itself.

    I'm out of town and it's hard for me to physically monitor any changes or any maintenance issues that come up that are resolved each step of the way. So I'm putting a lot of that trust in HSA and the contractors it chooses. With that being said, sometimes it does happen that the contractors, for whatever reason, aren't fixing the problem or they're temporarily fixing the problem and it's just reoccurring. So I've started to just tell HSA to please inform the contractor to really do a robust analysis of what the problem is and fix it.

    I own eight units right now and I have five policies with American Home Shield. I'm looking for the identification of the right contractor and ensuring that the technicians performs their duties to the best of their abilities. Those are the two reasons why I purchase a warranty with HSA. With them, 20% of the time, the issue has not been resolved and that isn't a big deal. I also plan to stick with HSA. But I plan to scale and when those 8 units become 20 units, then the 20% number of cases that could be better becomes a real factor. So, they should make sure that competent contractors are identified and that they resolve the issue the first time they go out there. And I'm willing to pay more to ensure that the problem is resolved the first time. Other than that, claim submission is not a problem with AHS and I've been happy with that. I could submit a claim online, though I typically tend to call. Everything else is great with them, too.

    One of the motors was not circulating the water like it should and then, it started whining loudly. Right after I submitted the claim online to American Home Shield, I got an email within 10 minutes saying that the claim was assigned and that the vendor would be in touch within 24 hours. Splash Pools and Spas called and tell me what the issue was, what they found out and that they would try it again. We have dogs at the house so they rang the doorbell and made sure that they could get back there with no issues with the dogs being out. The job has been completed and I am extremely satisfied. The repair helped quite a bit because we were able to get the issue resolved quickly. It took longer for me to try to figure out what was wrong with it and what parts I needed to get.

    When we bought our house, our Realtor worked in a deal where we were able to have American Home Shield that first year. We enjoyed it so much that time that we continued the warranty for 11 years. We are in the process of buying another house and we asked our Realtor again to work into the deal where we could have American Home Shield and continue it on our new house.

    It's been really nice that anytime we have an issue that arises, American Home Shield communicates clearly who would be coming out. The people that we set appointments with seem to be coming promptly. Most of the time, they fix the issue within the first visit. If they aren't able to, they very kindly come back to do a follow-up visit and fix whatever the problem is. It's just comforting to know that American Home Shield has your back.

    We used the warranty when our sink wouldn't drain. I tried turning on the garbage disposal and it shot from the other side of the sink up to the ceiling. A service guy came out. It took a couple of days longer than normal to get someone here but it wasn't that big of a deal for us. The guy fixed the problem and within 24 to 48 hours, we noticed there was a leak underneath the sink. Water was coming out of the pipe. The guy had taken apart the pipe to get it working. The same guy came out the following day and fixed that up. He's said, "Just let us know if I still didn't get it." Everyone was always nice. I'm just grateful for the help.

    The people who came out for the furnace were on time. It took a couple days. It was a holiday weekend, but it was fine. At the end of the day, they came out and did what they had to do. It was pretty quick and simple. I've been using American Home Shield for a while, and I’m using it in one of my other properties as well. So, I went back to using them. It should be a little cheaper though. Submitting a claim was easy, and their first option is to fix the issue, which is good. When they can’t fix it, the process to determine if they're gonna replace it with a new one could be time-consuming. I got an oven replaced, but it took them forever.

    We were having problems with a Whirlpool bathtub. Also, the water in half of our home was putting out a very awful smell. It was like rotten eggs. We called American Home Shield and they were very helpful. They told us who was coming and when to expect them, and it all fell within their timeframe. The contractor contacted us when they were going to be here. The guy thought that he might be able to solve the problem by putting something else into the aged water heater. He pulled out one that he replaced that looked like bare bones. It was something that was broken down. It didn't help the issue but he did try. They explained that they were not sure that it was going to solve the problem and they're coming back today.

    I'd like to have one contact that I can reach out to for continuity purposes. Other than that, any problems that I would have had would have been with the contractors themselves, not certainly with the service that American Home Shield has provided. They've been up-to-date and they follow through even on weekends. When they shouldn't have to do it, they do it anyway. I would definitely recommend them. They're easy to talk to.

    What I liked from my recent claim to American Home Shield was the coordination part of it. Since I have a cell phone, they sent me a text message and told me what date someone was coming. I like that. They kept me informed. The tech from Realty Rekey said, “We're 10 minutes away.” They gave me a good time window. They showed up with the time that they said. When you have to take time off from work and they say, “We'll be there from 8:00 to 4:00,” you're stuck waiting all day for them. The tech showed up on time. He was so professional, super quick, explained everything and what he was doing. It was a perfect service.

    I did that claim over the phone. I'm a little bit older, so it's easier to talk to someone than it is trying to get through the technology. The only thing with American Home Shield is I had a couple of issues, and I had to call each time separately. Other than that, I like American Home Shield. You could tell they vetted the people. So, they're the ones I called up. They sent Ricky and it was an excellent company that they referred. Whatever they're doing to make sure they vet the companies and the people they're selecting, they should make sure to keep up those standards.

    American Home Shield has been rotten to the core. I didn't have heat in one of my houses, so I put in a service call this past Friday for emergency service because there are elderly people in the house. I spoke with someone at American Home Shield who said, "Okay, we'll have someone come out on Saturday." Apparently, the people who American Home Shield contracted out didn't put in the comment that it was an emergency. They just put it in there it was "Expedited." I spent a couple of hours on Saturday with the contractor from AHS on one phone, and then on another phone, the company told them that they had to put in the comment that it was an emergency. If it wasn't put in there, they wouldn't come out.

    I put that same work order in and then finally, someone got to the house to find out what the problem was, and they couldn't get any part for 7 to 14 days. I can't do that. If it were me, I can deal with it, but it's the elderly people in the house that got no heat. The lady told me, "Well, the best that I can do for you is go out and buy a space heater up to $100 and we'll reimburse you." what's a space heater gonna do heating the house? That ain’t gonna do any good. You tell the elderly people to use a space heater, end up burning the house down or causing other things to go wrong, then I'm gonna be liable for that.

    I don't need that kind of attitude from American Home Shield. I got several contracts on four houses and at this point, I gotta do something else because I'm not getting the service that I need. If anybody asks me, I would not recommend them. The service sucks. Most of their reps weren't even helpful. They were just trying to get me off the phone. It shouldn't be an excuse that they can't find some company that can get this part before 14 days. They didn't even try and call anyone else to seek another company or whatever the case may be.

    I've had so many issues with American Home Shield that it's not even funny. I had an order for my range. The tech told me that the plastic was melted on the panel, and that was why my stove was the way that it was and it wasn't working. But that was wrong. The rep tried to say that whoever installed the panels should have taken off the film. But then I called back and they came out and they fixed the wrong part. Then he came back finally with the new panel and installed it.

    I also had an order for my dishwasher. It took about five months for them to find a good fit. The first guy that came out asked me what the dishwasher was doing and what the code was. I was like, I didn't know what the code was. It just wasn't working. So he told me that he wasn't going to stick around to see what the code was and for me to call him when I found out what the code was. I put a complaint about that and somebody else came out. They ordered the part, but it was the wrong part. So then that guy told me that it needed an engine and that I needed to call back and get another service request. Then I waited and waited three months. They finally came out and fixed it three weeks ago.

    I've been with AHS for twenty years and it’s definitely changed. I'm noticing that they're sending a lot of Middle Eastern companies over here, which I don't think they understand about appliances. Right now, I put in a request for my washer because it had a really bad smell. He came out and told me that I needed to go out and buy those tablets. I went out and bought those tablets and I put them in my washer and it still has that same odor. I called in for them to come back out. I had an appointment with them on Tuesday, which was the 12th but they never showed up.

    Every time I call AHS, it's an hour process. They don't put you through right away, you got to go through all the prompts. Then if you have a complaint, you got to wait and push the other buttons. They also put you on hold for up to an hour sometimes. Every time there's an issue, it's a back-and-forth communication thing. The tech will come and do the analysis, and then he'll say, “Okay. I gotta tell them what's wrong with it.” Then I get to wait for them to see what's wrong with it, and then I gotta wait for them to approve it and sometimes they have to order the part. When I had a problem with my tankless water heater, that took about four months because they kept giving me the runaround. When they finally approved it to get fixed, they had to order the tankless water heater, American Home Shield did and then that took forever.

    I wouldn't recommend AHS to anybody, not with the service that they've given me lately. When I'm trying to find another company, I'm leery because I already know American Home Shield and I know that they're capable of doing a good job. So then I just say, “Okay. I'll just wait.” Then something else happens and then I'm disappointed. But, there's this thing about if I switch and something breaks down in between my switch, they tell me it's going to be six months until I’m fully covered. All that stuff is what makes me stay with American Home Shield.

    My recent claim with AHS was for a furnace issue that I had. It had to be turned off because there was a pipe issue where it was installed incorrectly. They had somebody out within the next couple of days. After that, it took about a week turnaround point. The company had to submit a claim and then once they submitted a claim to American Home Shield, they had to review it, then they sent it back to the HVAC company.

    I ended up having to pay the HVAC company directly because it wasn't covered. All in all, we were without heat for three and a half weeks. But part of that was because the piece that needed to be ordered was from the manufacturer. It wasn't all American Home Shield. But I don't like the turnaround time between them receiving a claim from the HVAC company to them reviewing it and sending it back. Whatever I needed to be fixed was not fixed during that point, versus just going directly to the HVAC company.

    There was a leak in the back bowl of the toilet. We had someone come out last year for it but because my daughter is in Afghanistan, I don't go to the house every month. I also could not get the other company to come back out because it looked like they didn't do anything. When we got back to the house, because there was such a tiny leak, it had gone through the baseboards and we had mildew in the back. I called American Home Shield first, then I made the claim online and paid a $75 co-pay. American Home Shield then reached out to me with the company name to reach out to to schedule an appointment.

    The process was easy though we had an issue in trying to schedule the appointment because of my schedule. I don't live up there and I have to drive four hours up there. But the contractor, Matt Plumbing, was really understanding and they accommodated me. They didn't do warranties on the weekend but the young lady I talked to spoke to a supervisor and they agreed to come out on the weekend. And they did it early so we could enjoy ourselves. When the tech came out, he was awesome. He explained everything to us and he told me he changed several parts in the toilet to stop the leak because some of the parts were worn out anyway. All in all, I would tell my friends that I'd recommend AHS. I also plan to use their service in an investment property up in Davenport.

It’s the way that the vents were installed in the house.

    He recommended some things for us to consider in the future like having something similar to zones so it’s not trying to force air into all of our home especially the first floor. He also gave us some general insight on our cooling system, kind of how it was looking from the outside and maybe getting warranty. He was insightful and helpful. It wasn't like he was trying to sell something. This was our first claim. The other one was for something pool-related but it wasn't eligible. But so far, we're satisfied with American Home Shield. I like the app. That is a good feature. I like being able to see our claim and seeing who's fine and all that good stuff.

    It took three months to diagnose the issue on my broken oven. We were assigned two different repair companies even though the first one said the broken part couldn't be replaced. They then sent a Viking authorized repair person who literally asked us how to turn on the stove. He eventually came to the same conclusion as the first person. We were then offered a buyout for 1/4 of the value of the range. We engaged in no less than 20 phone calls with American Home Shield to prove that the replacement stove they were offering did not have the same features as the existing stove (and had very poor reviews) and that the alternative option of a buy out was not anywhere close to the value of a comparable stove. We were able to renegotiate the buy-out for double the original offer but again, only after many hours and phone calls and still only resulting in half the value of the oven.

    We literally had to send them the user's manual to prove that they were shortchanging us on features. It's been close to two weeks since the buy out was approved and they still haven't sent a check. When I called to follow up about that, they said that there was an error with the first check and that they are resending it and to wait up to another two weeks. I went Thanksgiving and Christmas without an oven. It felt like they were actively hindering us every step of this process. I know there aren't many good alternatives with home warranties but at this point, I would have rather paid out of pocket than go through the stress and aggravation of this ordeal. Our experiences with other home repairs with this company have typically resulted in us paying the $75 service fee with no or partial resolution. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs.

    An appliance repair specialist came out because I had a microwave convection oven that needed to be installed. I talked to company twice beforehand about coming out to make the appointment because the thing's really heavy. They knew that two people needed to come out. They were wanting my son to help and I told them he'd be here but he was not going to help. They made the appointment and when he came to the door, it was this guy who was like 70 years old. He said where he was from and he was reaching in his pocket like he was gonna pull out a mask. He stepped in the house and walked right down the hallway. He had brought an assistant with him. When his assistant was walking behind him, I said, "He needs to put a mask on." The assistant looked at me like, "Okay, I'll tell him."

    I got up and went into the kitchen where they were at. The guy was standing there and he was huffing and puffing. I said, "You need to put a mask on." He said, "I have a doctor's note." I said, "I don't care what you have. You need to put a mask on." He continued to talk telling me that he's got COPD and he can't wear a mask when he's doing his work. When he did wear a mask, he never wore it over his nose. It was only just over his mouth. I said, "I don't think you understand. My son had leukemia. He had a bone marrow transplant and a full-on radiation chemotherapy. He's immunosuppressed. He's in the other room. You can't be in here without a mask."

    He continued to talk about the cold weather bothering his lungs and how he couldn't install the microwave if he was wearing a mask. I said, "I don't think you're getting it. You're not installing the microwave. You have to leave now." He stood there for probably another 15 seconds. He had his hands on the oven and he was trying to catch his breath. He finally walked out.

    I was furious. I don't let anybody in my house. We're really careful with covid and everything that we've gone through. I called the company and the receptionist said, "That was Joe. Yes, he doesn't wear a mask," and started to tell me everything. I said, "You know, I don't care. I talked to you guys three times on the phone. Somebody should have informed me that somebody not wearing a mask would be doing the work and I would have said no."

    Number one, it's illegal because we're in the state of Washington and it's under governor's orders. And number two, you don't enter somebody's house under a pandemic like that. She said she'd let him know. I asked was there a supervisor I could talk to. She said Joe is the supervisor. I asked if there was an owner I could talk to. She said, "No, but I'll pass it along." I contacted the attorney general who then passed it along. American Home Shield should not be sending them out to anybody's house. When I went online, I had seen that somebody else had said the same thing happened to them.

    Another company came out and fixed it but I've been really unhappy with the American Home Shield. I had started the microwave back in October and it took that long to get it all worked out. In early December, I had called up because glass shattered on my oven. When somebody came out and looked at it, they had said they couldn't get some of the parts that I wanted. It took quite a while for it to finally be passed along to where they said they were going to replace the oven. This was kind of hard because I wanted one of my ovens for Christmas and New Year's, which I didn't have.

    When I was working, calling up and trying to find out what was going on, whoever I was talking to did not speak very good English at all. At some point, someone closed the oven. I waited another week and didn't hear anything. When I called back, they told me, "You don't have an open work order on your oven." It took me four hours on the phone to get that straightened out. I was being put on hold and transferred trying to figure out what was going on. When they finally figured out what it was, they said they'd open up a new work order.

    It took another four or five days for the report to finally go in then it took another week for them to review the report because they were so backlogged on it. When they finally reviewed the report, they said they could offer me a price to settle getting a new oven because they don't have the oven that I have. It would cost me about $300 more to get the same oven. I said, "No, forget it. I'll just wait. I've waited this long. I'll wait a little bit longer." Every week, someone would call me up to tell me the status of what was going on. They have one in black but all my appliances are white.

    Last week and the weekend before, I didn't get a phone call. I called up and remarkably, I got somebody really fast. They transferred me over to the purchasing department. When I got to the purchasing department, the gal looked it up and said, "There isn't any of those ovens that you can get. I don't know why you weren't put down for one, but let's put you down for one." There's one coming on March 11th and that's going to be my oven. I also kept getting text messages saying that we owed $100 for our deductible. I had called twice to tell them we don't owe a deductible. What happened was when they generated a new work order, it said we needed another $100. I called them up and they put something in, fixing that, but that kept generating. I kept getting late payment notices, emails, text messages telling me that we were behind. It finally got straightened out but it's been very frustrating working with American Home Shield.

    Our dryer stopped working weeks ago, we immediately called American Home Shield on January 10, 2021. They sent a company (Whirlpool) out on January 13, 2021. The technician said he cleared out the error codes and it seems to be working. I told him yes it works when there are no clothes in it but when I put clothes in it takes 4 complete cycles to dry. He said he didn’t have 30 minutes to wait to see if the clothes dry but that it should be fine. Well as he left I put a load in and it never dried so I immediately called back American Home Shield about an hour after the technician left and told them. They rescheduled the company to come back on January 18.

    We waited and they never showed so the next day, January 19, I called American Home Shield again and they said they were going to get ahold of the company and reschedule it as they tried calling them and didn’t get answer. They tried rescheduling them finally after I called American Home Shield every single day last week to get an update as no one was calling me back like they promised someone would and finally on January 20, they rescheduled the company to come out today, January 25. Again the company didn’t show up.

    I called again just now and told American Home Shield I just want the $100 back and I will find someone to come do the work as they obviously can’t get this company to fulfill their obligations and refuse to try and find another company to help us. They wouldn’t even refund the $100 and would only refund $50!!! How crazy is this?! The dryer has been out since January 10 and the company they sent showed up once and didn’t even want to address the problem and now has been a no show twice more while we sit here lugging clothes to a neighbors and a laundromat to dry them!!! WHAT KIND OF RIP OFF ARE THEY RUNNING?! This is insane!!

    The repairman came and saw what the problem was. He did not have the switch in his truck so he had to order it. When the switch came in, BJ's Appliance Repair came back to the house to put the switch in but it blew up. It was cool but it was the wrong size. The guy said, "I gotta order you another switch." He did then the next week, he got the switch. He came in, put it in and everything is fine.

    The first people that were assigned couldn't figure out why I was lacking in hot water to my master bath. A lovely man came out, ordered a part, thought that would fix it, didn't fix it, came out again, tried to figure out again, and couldn't fix it. When I called in to say I needed another opinion, American Home Shield gave me one and the gentlemen that was sent out from a different plumbing company got it fixed within five minutes. It was a success story. However, I had an outdoor water turned off. I called twice and it seemed as if it was covered.

    I paid $100 for somebody to come out and check it, but then I found out it wasn't covered. That's the way it was though. The only thing is that they should make sure that coverage is provided for the problem that seems to be at hand. Other than that, I have been thrilled with the service and have recommended it to many others. Things have been really great and if I've had any problem at all, I've called back and it's been resolved.

    The heater didn't go the full cycle when it was trying to come on, and then it would blow cool air. American Home Shield sent someone who repaired it that day. He was very friendly and very professional. On this trip, American Home Shield was good. There was one particular time last year where I wasn't pleased with them. I had a letter I was gonna send them and my receipt. Every time I would call them and ask them if I could get a supervisor, I never talked to a supervisor. They would always say that they were working on doing whatever, but it took months for them to get out here and get the air fixed. When they finally did, they got People's Mechanical come out. AHS just didn't do what they were supposed to do and just kept putting us off and the people that they sent didn't do anything. But the tech from People’s Mechanical contacted us and came out, and he was very polite.

    Everything ended up going well after People’s Mechanical came out and worked on it. Then this time when I called AHS on a Sunday, they wanted to send somebody. I said, “No, don't send them dude back to my house. Can you call People's Mechanical? Can you call them tonight and see if they can come out.” Mr. People’s called me back Sunday night and said, “I'll see you Monday morning.” When he called me, he said he was running a little late but he came out and did what he was supposed to do.

    We have a new home and the home warranty came with the deal. We used it the first time when the igniter of our furnace was dirty. My wife called that in and the guy who came out was there at 10 o'clock in the morning, which was timely. He explained that he just cleaned the tip off because it was a little rusty. He ran the furnace through five cycles and it worked every time. He said if something happens within 60 days, they would be back and they would replace the igniter. He did everything correctly. This was a good trip and we only had to pay for the service call. Everything has been working fine since the service. It was very cold so we were not without heat for a long period of time.

    American Home Shield is a good company. Give them a shot. I contact them over the phone, they pull up my contract, and they ask me some questions about the appliance. They either schedule somebody right then, or the vendor will call me within 24 hours and set up the visit. The process is easy. Also, the first guy that came from Sears to work on a washing machine was great. He came on time, took care of my washing machine, and was out of here in 45 minutes. On the other hand, the second time has been a nightmare. I waited, and waited, and finally got called to schedule.

    They were supposed to be at my house between noon and 4:00 for my refrigerator. 30 minutes before that ended, I got a text from a guy, saying he had gotten sick and couldn't be there and somebody would get back with me. Another week went by and finally, they got back with me and said that they would schedule it. I said, “Okay, great.” Last night, out of the blue, I got a call that said, “Hey, he's going to be there tomorrow, between 8:00 and noon.” I also got a message saying he would be here by 1:24, but it's almost 1:40, and he's still not here.

Recently, I put in a work order and got Myers Comfort Specialist to come out. Last week they replaced something and the heating unit has been working since. But that's no guarantee that it's gonna be working next week. But, the people from Myers that worked on my unit have been good people and I've been satisfied with the work they have done.

She called me at about eleven o'clock saying that the air conditioner wasn't working. I called American Home Shield and they said that it was gonna be a week before they could get anybody out. I said, "What about my daughter that's in a 100-degree temperature house?” The rep said, "Well, I'm sorry." I called and got a repairman out in two hours. That cost me $375.

    There was another time when I had an issue paying their $100 deductible and I wanted to talk to somebody higher up in the food chain. AHS said that they would have somebody call me back but they never did. So, I went ahead and paid the $100. I've had three homes with American Home Shield and I've been using them for 16 years. They say they're going to put all new stuff in. I don't know how they went from being that good a company to what they are now.

They should have more clarity on that, like if we don't hear back within X number of hours, then call them, or something otherwise. Other than that, I'm considering adding a policy for my mom.

    American Home Shield has a good customer service program. How their coverage works is good too. Mr. Rooter of Abilene came and the guy did a really good job. He was real professional and courteous. He got everything done in a timely manner and didn't have to do anything special to have somebody hanging around the house.

    The repair guy was very good and professional. He told my husband there's a couple of things going on with the AC. He put a little Freon in it too and it's been working fine. I would recommend American Home Shield to my friends. Submitting claims is very easy to do and I've been happy with the service. There's only one problem. We had a gentleman come out on our Viking stove, and that was a month and a half ago. He had to order parts, and I haven't heard anything yet.

    I had a leak. I did a claim to American Home Shield over the phone, and that process was not at all difficult. I was satisfied with Bestway Mechanical, and the service that they provided. I no longer have a leak. This was the best experience I've had because normally, I end up canceling because the contractor can’t get out here for days. This was the first time that the contractor was able to get here in a reasonable time. In the past, they've not. So, I've ended up just taking a loss and having to call someone else.

    Our refrigerator is not yet repaired. It has been about four weeks now. Advanced Appliance Service was the first company that came out. They looked at the refrigerator and determined that it was broken. But they were not authorized to repair a refrigerator. So another company that was an authorized LG repair had to be called in. We are scheduled tomorrow to get a repair part for that and hopefully, it will be repaired. As far as dealing with the people, they’ve been fine. I had the rekey and the heating unit inspected. But the heating unit did fail there and Advanced fixed it.

    I didn't have heat on my upstairs heater. Mainline Plumbing Service came out, and they were great. They fixed the issue right away. It was the igniter. They were very professional. It was a good experience with them. As far as the claims submission with American Home Shield, sometimes, when it asks you to diagnose the problem, we have to check off a box so we get the right person, and people that are very non-technical might not know what to check. I ended up clicking furnace, but I wasn't sure because there were a few options. Other than that, the home warranty is great to have. I ended up paying a lot more for mine because my house is considered bigger. I really don't need the electronics coverage that I got. I'd like to change my coverage, but it was apparently too late.

    When I turned off my dryer, it was rattling. I have a sensor on the dryer where it will count down from 45 until it's done. But if the clothes are not dry, it will take a little bit longer. It was getting down to like four minutes left in the cycle then it would jump back up to 45 minutes left. It would keep on going like that. I made an appointment to American Home Shield and the technician came out very soon after I made the appointment. It was not a long wait at all for them to schedule the appointment with me. He told me about what was going on. He cleaned it out and found lint all trapped in the dryer. He said it usually isn't trapped in these places but it can happen over years. He explained everything that was going on to me, talked to me about it then said if I have problems, I might want to change the tubing in the back. It probably took him 35, 40 minutes.

    It was easy for me to submit claims. The process is straightforward. You go in there and pick the area that you have a concern with. That same day while the dryer guy was there, I had put in a call for an electrician because I was having fuse shortages. He came out the same day at the same time. He handled it and talked to me. The plumber took a while to get back in touch with me but it was me not reaching out to the company to reschedule that. American Home Shield provided the information to contact the company if the company doesn't contact me within a business day or two. They do well and I like them. I have them from my house, my mother-in-law's house and a house my grandparents have down in Virginia.

    When I was at my mother-in-law's house, we had a dishwasher that broke and we tried to fix it. American Home Shield's contractor came out three times to fix it. They couldn't fix it any of those times so they provided me an opportunity to get a new dishwasher. I didn't measure it right so I got one that was smaller than what I could have gotten. The other part was not only was the washer smaller but also it was not the same quality when I got it. I chose the free washer instead of paying a few $100 for an upgrade which I probably should have done but it would have been nice to have some more support when choosing that aspect.

    I had a fridge that broke down in November 14th of 2020. American Home Shield sent one of the technicians. The technician said that there are a bunch of parts that need to be changed, and he submitted them the order. I didn't hear anything from them so I called them. I told them, “What is the holdup?” “Oh, sorry. We didn't know that the technician was gonna order the part. The technician told us that he has ordered the part.”

    I called the technician again back in December 1st. And the technician said, “No, they told me they're gonna order the part themselves.” So imagine your fridge that is completely dead and they keep just dragging their feet. Then on December 14th, after a month, they said, “Well, we haven't still ordered the part for you. Would you like us to order the part? But it's in backorder for one month.” I told them, “I cannot be without a fridge for two months. And I need this to be fixed. And you guys have a buyout program that if you cannot fix the unit...” which clearly says that they offer you money. They call it buyout. And their maximum buyout on the fridge is $3,000. My fridge is about $7,500. But I don't care. I told him, “Just pay me the buyout and let me go buy a new unit.” Their response was, “We can fix it for $1,500.”

    They were claiming that they can get these wholesale price. There is no way. It’s $3,500 to fix it if I wanted to fix it retail. Let's say if they want to do it wholesale, it will be 2,500. But knowing that I need my fridge, they did this to me. They said, “Okay, we're going to give you a cash out for $1,500.” And I had no other choice, just to get the cash out and close the deal.

    All they did was play games from the beginning. I’ve called them more than 10, 15 times. Every time, they put you on hold for one hour, hour and a half until somebody picks up. And when they pick up, they start giving you song and dance about ordering parts, not ordering parts. I reported them to the Better Business Bureau also. And most probably, I'm going to take them to small claims court because they didn't treat me right. It was horrible and they know it very well. They are horrible people. I have no other choice. There are no other companies that write these kinds of insurance for a house over 6,000 square foot.

The technicians were professional when they came to my house. They called me ahead of time too. I had to leave work to come and let them in a couple of times because nobody was home and I had put my dog up. There were two different specialists who come out. One came out the first time and he ordered parts. He came back and fixed the problem. But the washer was still stomping so his boss came back out. He looked at it and diagnosed it again. He also got some more parts and when he came back to try and do the fix, the washer just wasn't fixable. I'm getting ready to call American Home Shield because I'm supposed to either pick a new washer out from what they have to offer or I can go and buy one myself then send them the receipt.
