    AHS may or may not help customers. There have been times when there are always loopholes in their coverage. Their policy is very specific and has many different technicalities between the coverage of plumbing and electrical issues. With plumbing, I found that I could have a leak but it has to leak in. It can't leak outside.

    Most recently, their contractor Blue Star Plumbing LLC came out to look at our plumbing which was old and leaking. They said they couldn't fix it and I had to redo my plumbing. They gave me a quote to do that to fix the leak. AHS usually sends out Blue Star. They're always pretty nice when they come out. However, when they came out before for a leak on the other side of my bathroom, they had to come three or four times before they fixed it.

    American Home Shield has been so good to me. I try to do everything over the phone when submitting a claim and every now and then, I have a long wait depending on how busy they are. But once you get ahold of someone, it’s usually a pretty smooth process. I had to have the AC fixed immediately and All Comfort Specialist was very prompt. They had somebody out the next day and it was excellent. But on a washing machine issue that we had, American Home Shield sent somebody out from Sears and the tech didn’t seem like she wanted to work. I complained to Home Shield about it and they sent someone out two days later to look at it and do the job, and that guy was excellent.

    I just renewed with American Home Shield for the third year running. I'm extremely satisfied with them. When I had a problem with my water heater, the whole thing was taken out and replaced. A new one was put in. It only cost me like $200. It was awesome. I saved $1,000 or more right there. The claims process is great too. When my sink was backed up, I put a claim in on Friday and AHS assigned Advanced Home Services. A tech came out on Saturday. No matter what I ever had, AHS always sent people on Saturday.

    My sink is working again. The tech also discovered something that is the responsibility of my HOA. It was good because I was able to tell the HOA that there's a potential for a much bigger problem. I live in a building with eight units. Apparently, the problem is where everything comes together underneath. Where pipes go together is where the tech thinks there is a clog. The HOA had that problem in another one of our buildings so they were happy. They said they were gonna put it on the list to flush the whole thing out. I'm extremely happy with AHS. I recommended them to one of my neighbors and she got the policy too.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield since 2005. I never canceled, I always used them and it's been great. But with my recent claim, they said it wasn’t covered. So, it wasn’t a good experience this time. I called. They even told me, “This claim was submitted online.” I said, “Impossible because I never go online. I just dial the 800 number.” I’ve been turned down before over the past 15 years I’ve been with them. But this one was weird because it said it was pre-existing. I don’t know how it was pre-existing because the lights were working, and then they stopped. But then they said they’re outside. They’re on my deck. They’re in the outside of my patio door. So, that section of light stopped working. But I wish they would’ve told me that it wasn’t covered when I submitted. I wouldn’t have paid the $75 and I just went and got it fixed myself like I have to.

    The contractor was a young guy and he couldn’t find the source of the problem. He said he was gonna have to talk to his boss and they were gonna have to come back out. And I don’t think they wrote it up right. The electrical problem was inside of the house. I hired somebody myself and the problem had to be fixed from the inside. But the contractors are usually pretty good and the people that come out diagnose pretty quickly. But this time, I don’t think he was the one to diagnose this correctly. And so, the information that American Home Shield got was from these people who come out and diagnose. And if they write it right and say really what the problem is and where it’s coming from, it could be covered. But if they’re not doing it right, then it's not.

    My claim started April 10th and it just ended three days ago. It was over a month. I was on the phone with American Home Shield at least four times. They were, “Oh, the contractor hadn’t called.” Then I called the contractor. The contractor said, “Yes, I did call.” Then they said, “Okay, yeah. We found it.” And then some of the people who were talking, they couldn’t understand me, so I’d hang up and call back. And two times, I was on the phone holding for an hour while they were connecting me or waiting. This was the worst experience that I’ve had. But to be fair, I’ve had some good experience as well.

    I have two air conditioners on the house, and our downstairs unit quit working. So, I got on the American Home Shield app and I put in a brief synopsis of what my issue was. I hit a couple of buttons and submitted. It was very easy and painless. Within a few minutes, they emailed me and said my claim was submitted. A couple of hours later, I got an email from Fleshers saying they scheduled a tech. Two guys came out the following day and isolated the problem then they went back and handled all of the paperwork with American Home Shield. That was on a Saturday and on that following Monday, they came and repaired the AC. It was all done very quickly and very well.

    The tech that came out was a senior guy and he said that his company only deals with American Home Shield anymore because they have so many problems with other warranty companies. He also said American Home Shield has approximately 66% of the home warranty market. He told me that after I had already done my research through a company and others. I made my decision to go with American Home Shield and so far, so good. I'm very happy. I’ve had two other previous home warranty companies that were absolute garbage.

    I have two fans in my house. In one fan, the cord going into the fan to the motor part of it where I couldn’t turn it off and on, the light part of it, broke. So, I had to turn everything off by the home switch. The only thing I was disappointed with that was I didn’t have a chain. Salvador came out on the 28th. They just put that fan on a string. But my husband and I just went ahead and bought a chain and fixed it on that one. And then the other fan that was in the kitchen made a noise when it turned and Salvador just tightened up one of the blades on it. That was all they needed to do to get everything up and running again. The technician was very professional and very friendly.

    There are a few things that I’m not a 100% satisfied with, but it is what it is because it’s stated in the contract that Home Shield is not going to do. The one thing that I don’t like about them is the ratings of some of the vendors that they have in their company are very low. Recently, I have a broken pipe underneath my house, and I did a review on the company that they sent out and their ratings are not a 100%. So, I’m going outside and getting a second opinion. I have a guy coming today to run a camera down to make sure I have broken pipes and that it’s on my side. The first company wanted to come and do the work on the house, but they haven’t run a camera just to make sure that it is broken underneath the house.

    Stuff like that makes you worry because their statuses from what people are saying about them are not a 100%. So, you have to give and go. But overall, I’m satisfied with the coverage. There are things that I’m very grateful for by having the home warranty because I would pay more money to get an issue fixed if I didn’t have my warranty. You always have something extra to back you up if something breaks in your house.

    We had Home Shield while we were in our old house. I thought about not continuing with them when we bought this house because it was a newer house. But we didn't have it inspected when we bought it so I thought it would be prudent to go ahead and get the house covered. We’ve been with Home Shield since. They made changes on their call-in and I’d just soon have two root canals than have to call those people.

    I would get a robot and then I would ask for customer service. They would start directing me immediately to the internet and due to COVID, it would d go through that whole ritual of the COVID-19 and an unbelievable number of calls. I don’t wanna try the internet. I wanna talk to somebody and I wanna get it done. But it takes about anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes to get through the roadblock and finally get to somebody. And when I get to somebody, a lot of times the people are hard to understand. But they’ve all been helpful, very friendly, and very professional.

    They need to vet their technicians a little bit better. But with our pool pump claim, Watertight was great to work with. I like them and they're the best technicians that American Home Shield has ever sent out here. The major pump that runs the pool went out and Watertight put in a new pump. But it started having problems as well and they had to come out and replace that pump. Now, we finally got that done and it’s all squared away. I’m happy.

    I understand how Home Shield's business is set up. They come out to fix things and they're not coming out to replace things. If something is going bad and it’s breaking piece by piece, it suits American Home Shield a whole lot better doing $100 at a time than doing it all at once. But I’m still the guy that has to call and do that. I pay the $100 for them to come out and then I get something that’s put together with bubblegum and duct tape. Then, it breaks again and we would start the process all over again, waiting for the technician to show up. It’s pretty much a pain in the neck sometimes. But Home Shield does a pretty good job of trying to make it as easy as possible to do business with them as can be.

    All in all, I’m considering what we’ve been through in the last couple of months and I’m really glad we have Home Shield. Somebody was saying that they were gonna start shopping for another insurance deal out there and I said there's only one that they can go to and that’s American Home Shield. In my opinion, they're the only ones out there worth working with.

    My first claim ever with Home Shield was for my oven and I was really upset with the way things kinda happened all the way around. I called in and submitted a claim and I was told somebody would get back to me within 48 hours. And that’s how it normally works but I ended up calling four days later. The contractor said they had called and left messages, but they had one number wrong at the end of my phone number, which I thought was kinda weird because Home Shield said they gave the right number.

    The contractor couldn't come out for a week and when they came out, the gentleman said that he had to order a part. Also, we had porcelain tile on the floor and I didn't want him to just pull the stove out. I had him put cardboard under it so he wouldn’t scratch the tile and he was a little bit funny about that, but he did it. Then, he gave me the paperwork and told me that it would take a couple of weeks to get the parts, which I could understand.

    The second time he came out, there were two or three things listed on the paper that he had given me originally as far as the parts but he only changed one part. And he messed with the controls on the front. When he was fixing it, he put it in Celsius instead of into Fahrenheit like you normally have it. I don't know how to use Celsius and I told him that he needed to put it back into Fahrenheit and have my oven right for me. He said I would have to read my manual. But he's the repairman and it wasn’t like that before he changed the part.

    I complained to him and I told him he ought to fix it. He said he had a lot of calls and he got real cocky-like with me. Then, he went outside and when he came back in, he said he had to leave, that it was my responsibility to fix the thing. After he did the thing, I would assume that he would put a thermometer in there or something to make sure it was right or something like that, but he didn’t. I was really unhappy with the way things were. I called the company and the girl from the company gave me the same answer he did. He got his stuff together, left, and left my stove in Celsius. I was shocked and I was pissed.

    I have not had an oven close to four weeks at that point and was really upset because I use my oven, especially with all this COVID stuff right now, I'm baking and doing things just to have things to do. I was ticked. I yelled for him as he left asking if I don't get some kind of paperwork and he was out on the street. He wouldn’t really respond to me and he didn’t explain things. He didn't communicate well with me. And that was what was part of the problem because I would assume every service call, you’d get some kinda paperwork on what was going on or whatever. He said he gave me paperwork the first time and they don't give us anything after that.

    It took me a while with the manual because I’m 69 years old and I’m not that great with stuff like that. Then, I baked some muffins the next morning and I put them in for a lesser time, but they burned. I thought I better watch it better and I didn't think a real lot of it. But then, a few days later, I did a frozen pizza in the oven for my husband and me. I set the timer and it burnt. I called Home Shield and they said they would get the contractor back out here. The contractor didn't respond to me and when I finally called in, the lady called back the next day. She said the guy is afraid to come out here. She said he was afraid of me and that he’s afraid of his well-being to come into our house again. She said I was crazy acting with him and I told her I wasn't. I just was trying to get him to put things back like it was. I was friendly with him but he didn’t explain things and I got angry.

    American Home Appliance then came out and their guy was great. He was here for a while checking and moving things. He said one of the things on the back for the thermometer to measure things and stuff was kind of off-space where it should have been. He was testing it and letting it go through cycles and he was doing things with it. But I wasn’t totally happy with that, either, and I didn't call back. He told me I should use it in a different cycle instead of using the way I had always done. This has convection and I would usually use it in the convection way of using the settings and stuff. But he couldn’t get it quite right and he said I should be using the bake way instead of using the convection, which didn’t quite make sense to me. But he was really good at talking to me about other appliances. I asked him about cleaning my washer because I asked him if he does other appliances and he was good at giving advice on that.

    Having AHS has been super easy. I love that I can just go online and not have to wait on hold. Within a day or two, I would hear from the company that's gonna service me. Every contractor I've met through them has been pleasant. I submitted a claim through AHS's website for a pool issue. AHS's contractor, Clear Water Management, Inc. was really easy to communicate with. They came rather quickly and when they went to switch my pool on, it wasn't operating. The problem was that the pump itself was leaking. Plus, the filter was not turning over. It turned out that both of those needed to be replaced.

    Things have not been going too great with AHS, but it's not too bad either. We’ve submitted three issues, one of which had to be resubmitted. The first issue was a plumbing leak, and we were extremely impressed with the guy. He came out, looked at it, and got it fixed in 10 minutes. The second one was to change the keys to the locks. The locksmith came out and unfortunately, wasn’t able to rekey either of the locks that we had due to the manufacturing specifics of the brand. We ended up buying a new lock. I took it into his shop and he rekeyed it to what the other lock was. The two doors had different keys for them. For the one that I took into his shop, we didn’t have a key for the one that got replaced.

    The third issue was our faucet in the kitchen was and still is leaking. I was not too impressed with the guy who came, but I wasn’t with him for that long. However, my wife wasn’t impressed with him either. He said that the faucet needed to be replaced, and then he said that he was going to get authorization from AHS because apparently, it was a high-end faucet. AHS has a limit of 250 that they'll pay. They closed out that issue without fixing it or communicating with me about it. I was not super pleased about that. I resubmitted the claim and it’s still open right now.

    I didn't have a good experience with Choice Home Warranty. I didn't like the customer service and some of the policies and things that they had. American Home Shield seems to have better quality people and the interactions have been pleasant. I've had three technicians come to my home. The process of getting someone out here with the COVID-19 took a little bit longer. But I was satisfied with the amount of time it took someone to get out here. The first guy came to fix my dryer because it wasn't drying the clothes and it was good. Then, he came to fix my dishwasher because it wasn't draining or drying the dishes. He fixed it and it started draining, but it wasn't draining again. He said he fixed the pump and everything on that and he had to get a plumber out here.

    He asked American Home Shield to send out a plumber because he wasn't a plumber. He couldn't snake the drain. They brought a guy out here to snake the drain from another company and he wasn't able to do it because the ticket said it was the garbage disposal. He didn't do anything and left. He said I had to fill out another ticket. I called American Home Shield back. They sent another guy out here and he said it was the wire or the lines. He had to get with American Home Shield and see if they were gonna cover the deal.

    First of all I will say I have been a customer of theirs for a long time and continue to do so. From my experience they are better than the others out there. That said, it is always a fight to get covered items replaced. So much so in some cases I have given up and just replaced the item myself as it was not worth the hassle. This last instance was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    We have "replacement value" on our contract. Our faucet broke and after several days the plumber comes by after missing our appointment twice and simply states AHS will not cover that. This plumber had a terrible attitude and was rude to my wife on the phone. Stated to me that he hates doing AHS jobs and suggested I just buy the appliance I wanted and let him put it in. It has now been over a week since putting in the claim and still no resolution. Between both my wife and I we have called AHS every single day and today's call ended up with the rep disconnecting me after 20 min on hold and now I have to call back yet again.

    I put up with the shoddy service because frankly it is a policy we use and overall the coverage works. But I have to say sometimes I feel like it is not worth the aggravation. So far, with the amount of time I have wasted on the phone and waiting for a plumber who doesn't show up I could have replaced the faucet on my own with less stress.

    Updated on 5/20/2020: Business Info: American Home Shield (AHS). 150 Peabody Pl. Memphis, TN 38103-3700. 901 701-5000. They do not have a complaint or customer service section to contact. Our Kenmore refrigerator has been broken for 3 weeks now (does not cool at all) and is covered under American Home Shield but they will not help us get it fixed or replaced.

    I keep getting cut off by phone when calling AHS. This fridge we bought 2 years ago has been broken for almost 2 weeks now. We have had 2 different companies visit and report back to AHS. We were told it would be very expensive to fix and that parts would need to be shipped in and would take a long time. We need a fridge ASAP. We are a family of 7 and this is costing us immensely.

    Per 3 different American Home Shield sent vendors (including Sears) the fridge has both a dead LG linear Compressor and control panel and needs to replace the compressor and the entire door. The agents reported to AHS that repair would be very expensive and take a long time while the replacements need to be shipped to Hawaii. I have called AHS 4 times. AHS keeps insisting they will not cover the fridge either by repair or replacement because AHS insists that their vendors are not reporting to them.

    05/13/2020 just received word from AHS (after calling for an update and staying on hold a very long time) that they are now going to send a third vendor to inspect the fridge - now 2 weeks without a fridge during COVID 19 and we are a family of 7. AHS is avoiding doing what they are contracted to do and during this most difficult of times. I asked for their customer care or complaint department and was told they don't have one.

    05/18/2020 A third repairman from Sears has now been to our house to repair the fridge and he also could not and confirmed it is the same problem as the last 2 have stated. I tried calling AHS again and got cut off mid conversation. I was told by them they would call me last Friday but did not. We are now a family of 7 living 3 weeks out of a cooler during COVID shutdown. This is immensely wrong. 05/18/2020 We have lost much necessities from still not having a fridge or freezer - including medications that we are now having a hard time refilling. I was told by the latest repairman that this ticket is now closed and now AHS with have to open a 4th new ticket for the same thing. I believe this is fraudulent.

    Original review: Our Kenmore fridge has (per 2 different American Home Shield sent vendors) both a dead LG linear Compressor and control panel and needs to replace the compressor and the entire door. Both agents assured me that they reported to AHS that repair would be very expensive and take a long time while the replacements need to be shipped to Hawaii. Both agents said we would likely need to get a new fridge.

    I have called AHS 4 times. The last call was 10 minutes ago. They claim that the 2 companies they sent to inspect the fridge did not report back to them. I checked with both companies and was told they reported everything and even stayed on hold and talked with AHS agents for over an hour to help us get this expedited. I just received word that AHS is going to send a third vendor to inspect the fridge - now 2 weeks without a fridge during COVID 19 and we are a family of 7. We are forced to instead buy a new fridge. AHS is avoiding doing what they are contracted to do and during this most difficult of times.

    I have been a AHS customer for many years but cannot take it anymore. It is a complete waste of money. They hire terrible sub-contractors to do their work. If you are tempted to sign up because of the "will replace if cannot fix" then keep moving. Latest example of working with AHS... My air conditioner was not functioning properly so I put in a service request. They came out and stated that a new evaporator coil was needed and "code enhancements" Over $1,000 later it worked for a week or so. They have been back out 3 times since. It still does not work and they will not replace anything. I also learned that the "new" coil they installed was from 2017 and it is now 2020. This is not acceptable in any way.

    I had a reputable AC company come out and fix the unit. When I called to cancel AHS plan I was on hold for over 45 minutes before getting a person on the phone who told me that they had to transfer me to somebody else who of course was not available. The hold music kept telling me for faster service to go online which of course you can't do because they have "specialist" whose only job is to attempt to convince you to keep their expensive useless warranty.

    After finally getting agreement to cancel service after many years they wanted a $48 processing fee to cancel. That last insult summed up what they are after and it is not helping consumers or providing any type of acceptable service at all. Before that I had a clothes dryer that was making unbearable noise and was told "well it is functioning so there is nothing we can do with it". The pleasure of them telling me that cost $75 for the visit even though they did nothing and fixed nothing. I couldn't stand the noise of the machine and ended up buying a new one so again the warranty was useless. Keep your money and save some each month and just be prepared on your own.

    We've had problems with the ice dispenser and freezer. The ice dispenser has messed up a couple of times and the same guy from Appliance Pros has come out. He has been very polite, very sensitive to COVID, and has worked on it, but it would keep freezing up. Now, he said he couldn't find any air leaks in it so he wasn't sure why it was. He said he would send a note to the company that it might need to be replaced and he left. Then I got a call from them wanting to reschedule this other guy to come and look at it and he came right out. He said that he could find an air leak and he knew what was causing it. He would get the part and be back. So, we haven't heard back from him yet.

    Submitting a claim process worked well as far as a work order to have something repaired. I'd go online, log into my account, and do it. What is not good about AHS is that I cannot reach anyone and get a resolution when I'm having a problem or I need to follow up on something. There's no way to send an email from their website. There's apparently a chat option, but I've never been able to get it to work. Then, the service company piece that answers the phone on a call is not always the group that can help me with my call.

    For instance, I had a microwave problem back in early March, where the door on the microwave, when we moved in, had been repaired from a crack. It was starting to pull loose and be worse. A guy came out and looked at it, and then he was looking at a piece on the stove that broke the same time. He said he could fix the stove, but he couldn't fix the microwave. I got a call or email from AHS in early March. They received the information that it needed to be replaced and that they would send me an email to refer me to how to get it replaced and to let me approve the replacement. I never got an email. I called the number that I was supposed to call and they came back and said that he would work on repair orders but I needed to talk to someone in new parts and replacement. and so he'd put me through it.

    I spent probably 10 different phone calls over the month of March and April where I would be on hold for two or more hours trying to get them to answer, and they never would answer. A couple of times, I got an answer on that number and it would say, "Our hold time is long. Leave your number and we'll call you back," and I never got a callback so I kept trying to call and I would get the general number. When I would tell them what it was doing, they'd say that's who I gotta talk to and they pushed me right through.

    At one point, I finally told them not to transfer me. I needed to talk to a manager. They said the manager's not available that time, but they would have him call me. Well, they never called me. I kept persisting and was able to get through to someone. He said to use the chat and I told him that the chat's not working. I finally got through at some point to the right person from the right group, and within days, they were set, they've had it on hold for me, and that they just needed to know if it would be good. I haven't been able to get to them. Otherwise, AHS has been responsive, they come out, the people they send are polite, courteous, and seem to be pretty efficient. We have been very pleased with them most of the time.

    AHS sent Optimum when my ice maker was leaking. Water was leaking down to the bottom and coming out to the front of the freezer. The contractor worked on it and although he didn’t resolve the issue, he was awesome. He called and said that he was nearby. Then he was here within 15 minutes. He was in and out and replaced the ice maker really quickly. I was really pleased with the visit, but unfortunately, the ice maker started doing the same thing again. And he's supposed to come back this morning. I also had an air conditioning go out and I don’t think AHS paid enough of it.

    My toilet was giving me problems and AHS sent out the tech from Greenway Home Services. He came out and fixed it. But then it wasn't flushing right again. It would flush once, then if you'd do it again, it wouldn't take the toilet paper down. The tech tried to fix it and he was wonderful. Every time he came, he wasn't flabbergasted. I've had him before, too. He came for that toilet but it was for something different. There was a leak and my water bill was really high. It turned out that the toilet was running and that gave me a terrible problem because it leaked down into my garage. But he fixed that and he was lovely. He couldn't be nicer.

    But the last time that he was here for the flush issue, he said that he flushed it six times. Then the next day after he left, I went to flush it and it wouldn't go down again. It was in my guest bathroom and if someone came over then it didn't flush, it would be embarrassing. Then it happened when my sister went in and she said that I had to get a new toilet because it was not flushing. And after the third time that the tech had been here, I decided to get a new toilet. But American Home Shield was not really happy about getting it and they didn't pay for it.

    I'm glad that they sent a technician out though. It took a while to get the service scheduled because I'm a flight attendant and I've been home for a long time because of the COVID thing. But the warranty worked and my experience was good. AHS has been good about getting everyone out there, too. I've had to use them quite a bit and I've had them all the way back from California. I moved here in 2006 and when I bought my place, they had another crappy home insurance thing and I changed immediately to American Home Shield because I was so pleased with their service in California. Usually they're pretty right on it and that's why I've kept them for as many years as I have.

Somehow, one of the kids threw the part away and they wouldn’t replace the dishwasher. I don’t understand that. We’re still using it without that upper part spring and it doesn’t do the job washing the dishes.

    I like the convenience of having AHS. I like that I can call and get stuff fixed, and I like knowing that it’s gonna be fixed right. Recently, I had an issue with the timer on my clothes washing machine. Also, when you shut the door of my microwave, the motor would come on but wouldn't go off. American Home Shield sent out A-1 Appliance and the techs had to fix my microwave three times. Then they told me that they couldn’t fix it and it had to be replaced. American Home Shield called and I told the lady who was supposed to send me some stuff that I didn’t know if my email was working or not. But I haven’t heard anymore from anybody if I'm supposed to sign some paperwork or get a check. I just want my microwave replaced and installed.

    I want AHS to do what needs to be done and be done with my claim. I’m frustrated and when I called American Home Shield, I stayed waiting for about 45 minutes. When their rep came on, the lady told me that they were updating their equipment and that she couldn't talk to me. Then she hung up on me. It would have been better if she told me that they were updating their equipment, and if I would let her have my name and number, she'd be glad to call me back and take care of my concern when they're done updating. Other than that, I've never had a problem with AHS.

I was like, "You guys have to give me somebody who's open today, please. I have no hot water." But then, the companies he gave me weren't even open either, probably due to the COVID-19 that they cut their hours.

    I called back again and I got this other lady who was arguing with me on why I didn't wanna go with a company that wasn't open. I was like, "Could you please just give me somebody that you know that could possibly be open?" The first gentleman was so helpful. He was really trying to help me. But the second lady thought that I should stick with a company that wasn't open. But then she finally gave me Pruitt's number. Then, I sent in my $100, and then they came out and they sent it to AHS, and then I got an approval from AHS saying that the hot water tank could be replaced.

    Lex’s was awesome. We’ve used them before we started working with AHS and we were really happy that they were a contractor that AHS works with and that for when you have a plumbing issue, you can select from a few different plumbing contractors. Luckily, Lex’s was one of those. They were just 10s across the board. Every time we work with them, it seems they do some little thing that’s above and beyond. They’ll notice things and when they come out to work on something, they’ll point out to you. They say that this could be a problem too. Sometimes they’ll just take care of it if it’s something small or they’ll recommend service.

    They’re also very conscientious, which is the biggest thing with them. But they’re always punctual, they’re always professional. The staff that you call to make the appointments and the technicians that come out are friendly. We’ve worked with a lot of plumbers, but these guys are head and shoulders above everybody else. We recommend them at every opportunity we get to anybody that needs a plumber.

    We’ve also done an electrician and an HVAC person. They’ve all done well. There was one hiccup with the electrician, but I don’t think it was the electrician’s fault. The tenant said the electrician didn’t ring the doorbell, but we’ve had some other issues since then when the tenant wasn’t responsive when they were supposed to be there and answer the door. The contractor took care of everything anyway.

    Their website is super easy to use. There’s always bad publicity about these home warranties, but our experience has been excellent. However, the deal where you can select your own contractor for the plumbing is not available on all the different types you can do. I’d really love to see that. But that’s not much of a knock because we haven’t had a problem even when they’ve selected the contractor for us. Overall, we’re very happy with American Home Shield.

They contacted me and set me up with a local vendor. The tech from Bryant's showed up and my wife dealt with him. She said he was personable and professional. He was efficient and he knocked it out. He said the starting capacitor was bad and he replaced it.

    Last year, it took AHS a month to approve fixing the compressor. And we had a dryer that’s relatively new and it quit working. They sent a dude out locally and he got the wrong part that didn’t fix it. He said he would be back but he never did so they sent another guy out. A Sears guy came out and said he had to order a part, but then he said it was coming overseas. It took like a month and a half. It was ridiculous to wait that long.

    They sent another guy and he didn’t need that part anyway. He said he would be back the next day with a part and he never showed back up. I talked to them about it and they said they would give me whatever allowance on the dryer. I put some money with it and we got a dryer. Then about two weeks later, this part came in the mail. It was a two-month ordeal on just a part on a dryer. The Sears appliance guy had gone out of business so I just took my dryer apart and put that part in and it works so I got two dryers.

    I like AHS. It was easy to file the claim for my refrigerator, which was not keeping cold. Someone came out after a couple of days. The contractor was very helpful. He had a mask on, which was wonderful. I have a 90-year old house and the floors are crooked so the refrigerator is on a specially built platform. He had to lift the refrigerator off because it was two inches off the ground on one side. He went way above and beyond.

    I thought I had a leak under my sink, so I called American Home Shield. But apparently, it wasn't leaking. The faucet underneath that you can unscrew where the water comes out was loose and it was making the water go back under the sink and then leak out. My husband and I would've never thought to look at that because we're not plumbers. So, I paid 100 bucks for a tech to come out and screw that on. He was there for two minutes. I was irritated.

    Any time I have a service request, I just go online and hit my service request, tell them what I need, they charge my card, and then they send somebody out. The tech made an appointment with me a week ahead of time and he told me he would be out between certain hours on the day that I told him I wanted. He was on time and was very professional. He did his thing and left me a card and said if I had any other issues, I should give him a call. I was still pissed off that it was not a plumbing issue, but he did what he was paid to do. I'm very satisfied.

    I thought AHS was a pretty decent company. I’ve had this warranty since April 2019 and Multiple technicians have come out and been unable to diagnose the issue. I recently had a tech come out April 17th who verbally told me the issues but never sent the diagnosis to AHS. It’s now May 11th and the only thing that's been done is an escalation to Contractor Relations. The escalation was initially submitted about 2 weeks ago. Multiple employees advised I would receive follow up within 48 hours and I have to call them 1 or 2x per week to stay on top of this. I've let them know there’s a mildew smell because of the issues and I’ve been unable to run the air. I’m highly disappointed because I don’t understand why at this point another contractor hasn't been dispatched. I was so skeptical about renewing my warranty and I wish I would’ve switched companies at my renewal.

    Requested service for pipe leaks and sewer air venting into home. Both HVAC and Plumbing (2 different plumbers) were unable to identify problem. Both AHS recommended plumbers did not follow up with me and left me out to dry. After calling for a followup, could only talk with an outsourced call center that repeated the same scripted message over and over when I asked for the next steps on the leaks. Hired own plumber to fix the sewer vent and multiple leaks at my expense.

    I question what exactly is covered in these policies? It seems way to good to be true, and in my experience it is. The wording is very tricky, "how does a tear in a duct" (that I did not do) and a "hole in the duct" not the same thing? The only positive communication and service I received was when I signed up, and when they called me today to ask to renew my service. My favorite comment from the person I talked with today was "Our service gives you peace of mind". *Mindblown! I would happily change my review if someone from AHS would explain to me why their service failed to deliver and what they are willing to do to fix the situation. As a new homeowner, I have learned in the past year that I made many mistakes, trusting my realtor and AHS on this service are some of them.

    Submitting claims with AHS has been very easy. We’ve had them for several years and for the most part, the contractors have all been good. When we had a plumbing problem, it took three calls before the third plumber solved the problem permanently. But we were very pleased when A-US Air came out recently. The tech got everything done on one trip. There is a limitation put on the amount of coolant that AHS will pay for. We understand that air conditioning coolant is expensive, but we had to pay the difference on my recent air conditioning repair because AHS just paid for a very small amount of coolant.

    Home Shield is fine but they cost too much. We’re paying too much a year. And before the contractor even walks in the door, we have to pay them out. The monthly or yearly payment is one thing and then paying somebody else to come in and do the work, it adds up too much, especially now when no one’s been to work in over two months. We have no control over that but they need to be more lenient with the customers. My wife asked about dropping them but if we do and things break down, then what would we do? We’re caught in the middle. But whenever we call, they respond and do their job well. We've had claims for a few things and the different companies that come usually are fine. There was a leak with the garbage disposal and True Vine Appliance came out. They had to come back to reconnect it. They were A-plus with their professionalism and attitude.

    There was a leak in the bathroom for which Home Shield sent a plumbing company and the tech changed the little O-ring. The second time, he changed it again and then said that he thought that maybe my issue was that the hot water wasn't big enough for the house. That wasn't what the problem was. And then, the third time, they never showed up. They missed their appointment twice and then they turned around and closed the ticket. I called back, talked to Home Shield, and they sent out Redman because my problems were legit.

    Redman came out and they changed out the little stem. But this time, it started leaking again. It's the same exact problem. It's the hot water and I knew it's the hot water because if I shut the hot water heater off, it would stop leaking. Redman is very professional and they got out as quick as they did, but somehow, he overlooked the problem in the first place. And whenever they came out, it was all within a month or so period but it was okay.

    Whenever Redman came out again, the tech said that there was this part that was stripped that probably should have been replaced in the first place. And because our part was stripped, every time I was turning the hot water knob, it was tearing up the O-rings which was in turn causing it to leak. So, it really was the same problem. It never got corrected the first time. I had to pay the claim price twice and I really didn't feel like that was fair, now that I know that the problem should have been corrected one of the first times anyone came out. Also, Home Shield told me the last time that I had to pay the $75 because it had been more than 30 days. When I found out that it wasn't a new problem, I thought I should be refunded my $75 because it was the same problem that never got fixed correctly.

    My husband had noticed that there was a drip inside the return closet. American Home Shield sent out a company, Douglas Mechanical. A gentleman came and said there wasn't anything wrong. But he returned again because he felt like he needed to do a different type of test. When he came, the conditions outside were not suitable. He said it wasn't hot enough for him to test the pressure or whatever he needed to do. A third person came and when he did, it was a totally different diagnosis and totally contrary to what the first two visits led us to believe. We didn't get a good feeling when they just reversed course.

    My husband wanted to have a second opinion with another company. A gentleman, named George from Three Brothers, came out and explained what was going on. It wasn't a leak. We didn't need to totally empty the system and recharge all the Freon. George and my husband had a detailed conversation and he gave him a lot of good information. My husband felt like the tech was very knowledgeable. He felt very comfortable with the approach that the George used, the method that he used to test the system, and with the verdict that he came up with. George was very professional. He took the time to go over in detail with my husband and brought my husband to the unit so that he could see for himself firsthand what he was seeing and pointed out his observations. He did a good job. He solved the problem and we haven't had any leaks since then.

    Another additional point of pride is even with the invoice copy that George left us with, his writing is so clear and neat. he gave some detailed description under the work detail with pressures, etc. so that later on if we have a problem again and we need to have someone else come out, there's a record that we can provide. With the company Douglas Mechanical, we had three visits from them before we were finally able to clear the board and get the Three Brothers folks on board, who clearly knew what they were doing. It's not convenient to have to have multiple service calls for the same issue. It's a little bit better right now timing-wise just because we're all stuck home anyway. But for safety, preservation of our space and not introducing any potential virus-harboring individuals, we'd rather not have people coming most of the time.

    When I lived in Virginia, I had American Home Shield for about two or three years and I've been satisfied with them. I only had to use them twice. Something went wrong with my stove then and a year or two later, something went wrong with my refrigerator. They were right on time. So, I had decided after we moved out here in North Carolina, once my warranty was up, I was gonna go back to American Home Shield. The McMahon Plumbing technician was professional and friendly. He explained what he was doing, took care of it, and wore a mask. Everything has been working fine since. He told us what he observed the problem to be and took care of it.

    The washer was the real problem that I had, and the guy came out a couple of times with new parts to try to correct the problem. He did a great job too, but he couldn’t fix the washer. I was impressed that American Home Shield replaced the amount for my washer. We bought a new one and they gave us enough money to supplement it. My washer costs a little bit more, but I was pleased. I have a new washing machine so I'm happy. As a matter of fact, I had told my son about AHS. He said, “Mom, I already got them.” I've also mentioned to a couple of my friends how pleased I was with the help I got, the technicians were very professional and that I was very happy about being able to get a new washer.

And then one time, I put in the model number for the refrigerator and the guy came and asked for it. You would think that would be one of the important things they would fill out on the dispatch or the case. If they can print information that we fill out on the website and send that to the repairman, that would be good.

    90% of the time, we get pretty good service but there's been a couple of times that Home Shield has denied claims. Before the refrigerator, we had a washing machine that went bad. It stopped running so we put a claim in and they sent one technician out. He said they were denying the claim because it was overloaded. I disagreed and they said they would send a second one out to give a second opinion. When the second guy came out, he told me that it was old and that even if they replaced the part, it's not gonna work properly. He took pictures of it. This washing machine has been here at least 18 to 20 years.

    American Home Shield denied the claim saying the repairman gave a completely different report than what he verbally told me in person. When they got the report, it said he agreed with the first repairman that it was due to neglect. I had to call four, five times on that washing machine because we were trying to get the repairman on the phone, but we could never do it. American Home Shield said they would contact the repairman and try to get him on the phone because he lied to my face when he told me what the resolution was and gave a completely different report to American Home Shield. I pay my premium after I pay a service call, they still denied it and I had to go buy a washing machine on my own. That was disappointing because we pay to have this coverage so I don’t have to fork out for big expenses.

    I asked American Home Shield that instead of the plumber fixer, they can give me the money and I can fix it by myself. They said they were going to call someone and I’m still waiting for an answer there. The plumber First Class Water Heaters told me they were going to charge more than $800 to fix it or replace it. This was my second time that I called for something. The last time, it was the air conditioning and they did not fix it because they did not cover anything. So, I just paid $100 there for the deductible. I was wondering if they cover a little bit more, or if I have to pay more to have a better coverage. So, the two times I called, I was not very happy.

    I called Home Shield on the phone, and then they picked a contractor for me that's in my area. They told me that they would send an email or a text message verifying who was coming out and I can give them a call if I needed to. Everything was done perfectly. And then, CAL-HOME was right on time. The tech called me 30 minutes prior to his arrival. He got right to the point, told me what I needed, told me the garbage disposal was old and it needed replacing, then he went to work. They did a great job.

    We had water leaking into the hallway. I submitted a claim online with AHS on Sunday. There wasn't an option to select "Other" and input my own description. That option could have helped. Since I didn't know how to categorize the issue, I put "faucet". We needed the faucet repaired. The next business day when I was able to get ahold of the plumbing company, I went into more detail with them about what the issue was. The plumbing company said that they would be out within the next 24 hours. They came on Tuesday.

    The company was very thorough. The tech was very careful and took precautions. He was very informative about what the problem ended up being and how it was gonna be fixed. Before proceeding, he said he was gonna need to cut into the drywall and told me that I might wanna contact the warranty program to see if that was covered while he went to go get a part that he didn't have. I did as he said and I was informed that it was covered so we proceeded with the repair. I was very satisfied. It didn't take too long and ultimately, the entire repair was covered. So far, it's been a good experience.

    I made previous claims with Home Shield and I was very dissatisfied with the contractor's service. I requested another company to come out and they sent Nice Guys. So, whenever I have a claim with washer-dryer issues, I especially request Nice Guys to come out. They are exactly what their company is named and have held up to their standards. They are excellent and I love them.

    I'm also having an issue with my garage door and the contractors have come out here several times to work on it. They replaced the master board, the chain and the springs. I can't get my car to program to the garage door opener and the part that's outside the garage door where I push the code in is not working. So, I need to make a new claim. This garage door is so old and I'm so sick of it. They have fixed it so many times but I want it replaced and not fixed.

    I've lived in our home since 2002 and there have been costs that come up that we can't really afford out of our pocket. The $50 warranty I bought was fair and when it went to $75, I was a little upset. That's the best backlash but it's okay though. Nothing's going down and everything's going up. I also asked the guy that came over and fixed my dryer how much it would have cost me if I called them out on the trip without coverage. He said it would be almost 300 bucks. So I paid $75 and I got almost $300 worth of work.

    The last was not really good, which was why I canceled them. We had a three or four-month episode with a toilet. AHS sent one person out and when the person came out, they said that it was not leaking. I said that I turned the water off because I didn't want leaking toilet water all over my floor. Then they turned the water on and the toilet was not leaking right then. When it started leaking, the same company was sent out. They came out here and the guy said that it was leaking from under the tank where it met the base. I said that every fourth flush, it comes up, but doesn't go down. He said what was wrong with it. He said it was broken and that it had to be replaced. He just needed authorization. That started six weeks of waiting for an authorization that never came.

    I called back about three times about that between the service tech not sending in a report. When he did, he said that it was fine, but it wasn't fine. We had the bathroom out of commission for all that time. Then, AHS said that they weren't gonna cover the toilet, they would send out someone else now. I said that wouldn't work. I also said, " You guys charged me and made your 75 bucks. Have a nice time. I'll be canceling." They were terrible.

    Someone from Low Country’s Best Heating & Cooling came, did a quick fixer-upper and this would be the third time to get it done. I checked today, and it’s doing the same thing now. It hasn’t been 30 days even. The issue didn’t get completed and I would like to give them a chance to come and fix it. They need to make sure that it stays the way that it needs to though. The first time, he was there for about an hour and he was doing multiple things. When the toilet started doing the same thing, I had to call them, and he came back out again. The second time he came, it took him about 15 minutes where he tried to figure out what the issue was. He said something about the tube kept coming out where the flow of the water is supposed to go to the tank and it was mentioned to me to try to superglue it too.

    Trying to do a fixer-upper every second and having to keep calling back is a waste when it could just be entirely replaced. That’s what the warranty is paid for. I just want to get the problem resolved the first time I call where they don’t have to come back and forth because it takes time away. I have to sit and wait for somebody to come back for the same problem. That happened to me last year with some electrical work too. I had to call other people because American Home Shield couldn’t figure it out.

    My hot water boiler/ furnace was blowing smoke in the house so turned it off immediately and called American Home Shield on 4/27/20. They sent the first technician who didn't how to Oil furnace works and what to look for. He pretended like he knows thing or two and told me that he cannot access the boiler (WHICH IS RIGHT IN - FRONT OF HIM) and said he will talk with his boss and will call back. I never received a call from him or AHS so I called back on 5/4. They told me the technician couldn't access the boiler, there is a wall he need to break to gain access. If anyone worked in old PA houses they all have similar setup, the boiler is under the linen closet and accessible.

    I requested AHS to send another technician to help me who knows about oil furnace. They sent another tech out on 5/6 who apparently knew more than previous tech but couldn't fix the issue. He was going to get approval from AHS to spend some more time to investigate the issues. I have been talking with different agents over the phone for last two weeks and getting run around.

    The last three times I have been told that they are waiting for the contractor to submit his report. As of today 5/11 (5.05 pm) when I called AHS I was told that contractor is going to submit the report today. First of all the agent on the phone do not have contact information about the contractor they sent to my house, I have to searched and provide them his phone number. Second of all in what world it takes 6 days to submit report. It has been exactly 14 days today and we are still out of hot water, I bought some portable heater since it was cold over the few days.

    I’m glad some of you have had good experiences because so far I have had the opposite. The horrible experiences outweigh the good by a huge margin! I am so disappointed that I chose this company especially after reading these posts. Here is mine: I am extremely agitated with this company. I switched from another company to AHS thinking they are top rated. My very first call leaves me with a bad impression. I placed a call on 5/3 for my range top and microwave blew out. Initially I was very impressed because a company called A Dobre Day came out the very next day. The contractor looked at our circuit breaker and determined that the oven and rangetop should be on separate breakers (even though it has never been), never looked at the rangetop, did a cursory inspection of the microwave.

    They are supposed to write a report and send it in. Now usually this is done while on the premises, but when I looked for the contractor, he had left after speaking to a customer service rep. which happens to be in India or the Philippines. Today is the 7th and I am STILL waiting for that report to be sent in. I have spoken to so many reps, some promising to look into it and call me back (no one ever did). I was on one call for over an hour, only to be hung up on. The contractor has not responded to any calls from me or AHS and I was told yesterday that their guidelines state that the contractor has 48 hours to send the report in. After 48 hours I was told they would give them another day before my claim was escalated. We are now at 72 hours and nothing has changed.

    I am furious at this point! This is worse than the company I left! The 100 dollar service charge has been debited from my bank and according to the email sent in 5/5, I have to revoke this authorization 5 days prior to a debit that was placed on the same day as the notification. I sent all my info via Facebook messenger and I got a response that a “social media specialist” will be contacting me. American Home Shield finally responded to my complaint. I actually spoke to someone here in the US, who was very helpful.

    Since the previous contractor never responded or sent in a report, they assigned another contractor who showed up promptly today and sent the report in right away. Today 5/10/20, my claim was denied because in their words, "the circuit breaker caused the problem with the appliances, and is therefore not considered normal wear and tear". They would be happy to send someone else out, but if that person comes to the same conclusion I would be subjected to another service charge. I was also assigned a social media specialist Monica ** to assist with the issue, but besides her initial communication, I have not heard from her again.

    The kicker is that I had an electrician come out who actually looked at the range top and determined that an internal short had caused the circuit breaker to shut down. This is the complete opposite of what they are saying. There is nothing wrong with my circuit breaker. It seems they are very quick to deny a claim, yet take your money. To prove my case I would have to jump through hoops and in the meantime, I still have no use of my appliances. The contractor that came out said both appliances need to be replaced. I have 7 days to dispute this denial which I will probably just make a decision to cut my losses.

    It is very disconcerting when you see a commercial that makes things seem glorious, and find out it is the opposite. No money to pay claims, but money for national commercials and "media specialists" that don't really help. I will file my complaint with BBB so others may be forewarned. I really thought I was signing on with the top rated company. I guess I should have looked at reviews before doing so. I'm very disappointed with this company.

He came in the back door where we asked him to come in and he had his mask and gloves and the little foot coverings for his feet, very quick about it, and then he did what he had to do and he left.

    The response of AHS is very good. When you call and you have an issue, it’s pretty quick. Sometimes you have to wait if you don’t have this kind of service. I like the fact that if you do have to have something replaced and they don’t have it in stock, then you can upgrade and you pay the difference. There are different options.

    The microwave has been giving me a lot of headaches, and John came in and assessed it immediately. He came back soon after with the correct part. He removed the microwave, which weighs a ton, and he took it down by himself and worked on it. Shortly after, it worked. I was thankful because I use the microwave every day for easy little items to speed things up. He also noticed that the gasket in the refrigerator was sticking, pulling and hard to open every time you opened the door. He took care of getting that as well as a little shelf that fell off on the door. He ordered that for me. I had tried other companies and one company told me they couldn't do it. So, I was so happy that I decided on American Home Shield. I wasn’t aggravated with the process in submitting a claim. In other companies, you have to wait on hold but AHS got right to the process with my name. They were very organized.

    When I got AHS, I didn’t go to other people. I had to try something here in Miami and that didn't work out at all. I was very reluctant but every time I called AHS, there were excellent responses on the phone. People knew what they were doing. Something about their phone service led me feeling good about it. They didn't take me around a lot of questions and unnecessary stuff. So, they're very professional. The people down here in Homestead, which is part of Miami, were very good also.

    We keep American Home Shield because it’s very convenient. They farm the jobs out to different contractors though and I haven’t always been happy with them. My dish rack in my Maytag dishwasher rusted and the company still makes that rack, but they didn’t put in the same brand. They put in an all purpose one and it has never worked right. It won’t roll in. I’m older and it’s not easy for me to lift the thing up and push it in. I called them and they said, “Sorry, that’s what we do.” It's some cheap thing and I wasn’t happy with that. They also kept saying there was nothing wrong with it, and I kept saying there was. I didn’t get anywhere with them. I always take the positive, but at another time, the air conditioner went out during a heat wave and it was frustrating.

    We live in a mobile home, with 104 degrees in my house. I’m in here with a dog and a cat and my husband was gone. The contractor said they couldn't come out for two weeks and that they were sorry. I wasn’t happy with that as well. I understand the other people, but I was not doing well. I was getting sick and it was terrible. Finally, a neighbor brought me a window unit and put it in the bedroom. Another thing is that when my washing machine was broken, I kept telling the guy what is was because I looked it up, and he kept saying that was not what it was. He came out four times. It was an older guy and I felt very bad, but it was what I said. Finally, they sent the supervisor out and they fixed it. Before he fixed it, I told him what it was because you can look it up on the manual.

    On a different note, On Time Plumbing was very good when they came. The man that put in the hot water heater, Sam, was very attentive. He was conscientious and great. However, the pipes that he installed were leaking and he repaired it then it started leaking in another spot. He came back out and he fixed that and it has been good ever since. The only problem was we didn’t know that it was leaking and it came through the wall in my closet and I got molds. It was a whole deal, but they did take care of it. All in all, it’s people’s livelihood and it’s no reflection on American Home Shield, but this is my money and we worked hard for it.

    I’ve been meaning to call American Home Shield and talk to them. Nobody seems to care. That was my second time saying something to them, but nobody seems to care about how they're treating customers. When I called American Home Shield, I called My Repairman and then the next day, I called them to schedule an appointment. I was thinking they were taking too long. And so, I called them, and they did not answer me. They did not call me back when I left a message. When the guy got here this last time, and when he was done, I asked him, “Well, what was the problem with it? Why the ice maker wasn’t dispensing ice when you just replaced the ice maker, the bucket? So, why it wasn’t dispensing?”

    He said, “Oh, it was a loose wire.” So, he probably left a loose wire in there when he replaced the bucket. Then he had to come again and make me wait all that time. I was really calm with him, really nice, and I told him, “Can I ask you a question, why do they take too long? I know they’re working from home because that’s what their recording says. But it seems to me like maybe they’re not doing their job or they’re not doing what they’re supposed to be doing, which is answering the phone, and calling customers, and scheduling appointments.”

    He went on the defensive right away. He said, “Well, I’m gonna just call American Home Shield and tell them do not call My Repairman.” I said, “What? Instead of saying, ‘I’m sorry,’ instead of saying, ‘I’ll talk to my boss.’” The guy was good, but he messed up because he had to have left the wire loose. I was very disappointed that American Home Shield is giving me these people. Still, I've only been unhappy with them one time. Normally, my experience has been pretty good.

    There was a pipe that had broken off, so the water was leaking. I filed a claim with AHS and it was easy. I did it online and their website was user-friendly. They assigned it to Ace Plumbing who responded quickly. They got it taken care of, so it went really well. They replaced the pipe, then cut a small hole in the wall and I didn't have problems since.

    The air conditioning had broken completely and I called my home warranty. First, they sent someone to look at it, which cost me $75. Then the technician from True Master who Home Shield had sent said it was broken and needed to be replaced. Then, they bought a new air conditioning unit. Home Shield paid about $600 and I paid about 1,800. I was very happy with True Master. However, I’m not happy with Home Shield because I’ve been paying them almost a few cents minus $50 a month for the last 15 years and the only time I needed help, they only chipped in $600.

    I felt betrayed with my policy. If something happens, they charge $75 every time. If I didn’t have Home Shield, it would’ve cost me for about somewhere between 99 to 120. I’m only saving about $30 or $40. On average, it has happened about three times last year, and two times this year, and before that, nothing for about 15 years. When I look at what I’m paying for the Home Shield and what they actually cover, everything is, “This is the exception. We won’t pay for this. We will only pay this much.” This one time that I need help with air conditioning, their excuse was that they'd only pay for a unit. The contractor had to do the connecting and wiring in the environment and they won’t cover that. I’m really disappointed. I think it’s a scam. But my home is a rental. While I was in it, I didn’t have any issues. The only part I like is that they give me peace of mind that when I call them, they send someone right away. I am very dissatisfied.

    The hot water tank claim was almost two weeks. The contractor came, somebody with no mask in pandemic. I work in the hospital and I have to give one of my masks for him to use. He got something in his car. Then he said that we'd get hot water in 30 minutes, but not even 30 minutes, he left. It was totally unprofessional. We waited for hours and never got hot water. We called back to the company and told them that we were still not having hot water. I’m a nurse and I’m working with COVID-19 patients. I deal with them in the ICU. I need to clean my uniform and take a shower after 16 hours shift I had when I get home. They said they would come back the next day. It took two days for them to show up.

    The guy changed again a new thermostat and said it would be good in 30 minutes. He didn’t stay for 30 minutes and he left. Nothing happened. We called the company and the guy there said that the tech was calling telling us that everything was okay, but everything wasn’t, so he came over. Then we called the company back again. They said that we needed to get a whole new tank. After the five days, why the tech didn’t tell us that? Then AHS said we had to pay $730 for a new tank. The situation was unbearable. I didn’t care why we had to do it, but I paid the amount.

    There was another guy from that company that came and did what he needed to do. He was professional. We got a new tank and they charged us 730. Then there was something at the bottom and he told us that we didn’t need that. We could use the same thing that we were using. He would call the company to make sure they would give us our 100 something back. However, I just found out yesterday looking at the bank statement that above the 730, the company charged me $105 more. I’m trying to call them today. They were supposed to save me that amount, not take it from me. So, there was my 835 right now. Hopefully, I'll never have this problem. I don't want to see this plumbing person. The guy that came the first two times didn't have a clue on what he was doing.

    The microwave claim was a very professional company. The tech from Brooks Appliance Repair came and fix it. He was using a mask. He came to my house and was respectful. The microwave door wasn’t closing. If we'd try to close the door, we'd have to stay there holding it until whatever in the microwave was done. He did right and was really quick. American Home Shield answers our request. We request online and not even 24-hours, we have an answer and somebody’s in our house the next day. I will recommend them.

    I'm somewhat satisfied. The coverage is pretty good and the contractors do come out and fix the thing. The only thing I don't like is if something is wrong, they come out and fix the specific issue that you're having with it. But I get that. American Home Shield probably wouldn't be able to make money if I could just call and say my dryer is broken and I need them to fix it all. AMP Mechanical also did a good job. They came out for an AC issue and everything is good now. Before, the AC fan wouldn't come on but we could hear it trying to run. It was humming. The guy came in and explained what was wrong. He was absolutely friendly and professional. He had to get a part but what he needed was right in his van and he was only there for about 20 minutes total.

    American Home Shield assigned My Georgia Plumber for a claim I made and they didn't come out. I still have an open claim. The service visit was supposed to be rescheduled last week. They said they gotta cut through the ceiling and I can't move the piano alone. I told them I need to have it moved first and they said it was fine. I can't let them move it because of a warranty issue. If anything happens, then I'm not covered under my warranty anymore. That was where we left off last. They haven't contacted me to reschedule and I haven't contacted them either. I had a death in the family last week because of COVID.

    I liked everything about American Home Shield originally. But I received in the mail changes to my policy. Right before last week, I reached out to Choice Warranty and one other company to get quotes. The companies were at the top with AHS. I've just not talked to any of them but I am looking for others. That's because I don't think my service with AHS is as great anymore. My premium is being raised and I'm like, "If I'm receiving less coverage but pay more, then I need to pay for all the coverage whether I have to pay more or not." I have the top policy which is the best one AHS has to offer.

    We closed and moved in one month ago. The garbage disposal was fine during the inspection but when we ran it, water started leaking from the bottom. We tried to take a look into it ourselves but we saw from the research we made online that if it leaks in the reset button on the bottom, that's not good. I submitted the claim on American Home Shield's website, and it was helpful and straightforward. I didn't have any issues with it and it was efficient. It was clear, did everything we needed to and we got a response quickly. Once I submitted the service request, the guy called me to schedule the appointment and he even did it the same day. It went smoothly.

    We also noticed that our toilets were running very long and I know that you could put in one claim for just a plumber to come out for all that stuff. So, we had him look at that as well. The one in the master bedroom would run, go very loud and then, it would stop. It would go every 30 minutes. So, there was something inside the tank that the plumber replaced and the same type of thing with the guest bathroom, which was a little bit flimsier to flush. He did the same thing and replaced the framework on the inside. He had the parts in his truck and the toilet no longer has any of the issues. He completely replaced the garbage disposal, so that's working perfectly fine. We're happy.

    The contractor was very professional, courteous and upfront. He had the shoe slip-on, a mask and gloves because of where we're at. He was very prompt and confirmed what we had researched that the garbage disposal was not worth saving. It would be just as much to replace than to save. He ran to Home Depot, picked one up and just did it right there. So, he was quick and he was good. He was honest with us on the toilet and told us what was going on with it, why it was happening and what we could do to try to prevent it later.

    I made a claim online then called American Home Shield after I submitted it because I submitted the claim incorrectly. I corrected it over the phone. The process was definitely easier online. With the whole COVID-19 going on, I can imagine things are not as they would be. But I hope that the automated service would kinda try to get to someone to speak to. It just took a while. But I don’t know if it’s always like that.

    A guy from Circa Mechanical came out and he did what he had to do. For the most part, he walked me through what the issue was. There was nothing I could really do about it or at the moment at least. I definitely needed him. We had a bunch of clogging in our main drains and he kinda cleared that up for us. He initially used a snake to do that. He used a smaller one but that didn’t work. I had tried that too. He then used his industrial version of the snake and he got it cleared out. He fixed the problem on the spot and that was all I could ask for. Everything went fine. I never thought my home warranty was important until I had to use it. You might get lucky.

    American Home Shield was referred to me by a family friend. I put my mom’s home, her appliances and stuff under the warranty, and I did it as well. They’ve been out here and so far, the contractors have been good. They serviced the washing machine, the dryer, a garage door opener, and then the biggest thing is the air conditioner. American Home Shield keeps sending people out to fix it and not giving me a new unit. Sometimes, I don’t even see what’s the use of having the warranty and I’ve been with American Home Shield for some years now.

    We’ve had this leak every year now for the last five years and they’ve been coming out repetitively. It’s always a slow leak and they put some new parts on it then the next year, they come back for a slow leak again. Aren’t they supposed to fix the slow leak? They keep getting money out of me for Freon as well. Fast Response had been here for the last two years. Last year, my AC wasn’t cooling. They put new coils in and I had to pay $500 out of pocket for Freon. This time, they just came and serviced it. American Home Shield said it was $75, which they deducted out of my account.

    When the guy from Fast Response was out last week, he gave me two thumbs-up. He said there was plenty of Freon and the coils looked good. He also said he just cleaned stuff off and that I would be good for the whole summer. Tomorrow, I will know if the unit is fixed because it’s going be 80 degrees here. My system will be 21 years old and American Home Shield keeps saying Freon's going to be obsolete, but they keep fixing the unit. They’re not fixing the slow leak though and that’s where I’m dissatisfied with American Home Shield because I’m still out of pocket.

And then, he told me exactly what he needed to do, that he needed to order a part, and that it would probably take a week. I said it wasn't a problem. And at that point, with my company, I was able to work from home. It worked out for me. It was a great experience.

It wouldn’t go below 55 degrees and I had it set at 33. The technician from Carlos Kata Appliance Repair came out and said that the fan wasn’t working. One of the little strips on the door was broken so he fixed that. After he left, it still didn’t cool down so I called him and he looked at it. He was not sure what it was. He had his thermometer in there and it wasn’t cooling the same, past the 55 or so.

    He said he was gonna have to call American Home Shield to get the permission to take the fridge to his shop. I told him that I've read that sometimes unplugging the refrigerator for 24 hours and then plugging it back in works. He told me that I could try that and let him know. I did that and it didn’t make any difference. I called him to let him know and he said that he would get ahold of American Home Shield and find out what to do next, and I haven’t heard back yet.

    The claims submission process was very simple. I went to American Home Shield and submitted the claim. Within a day or so, I got a call that they will be sending someone and he showed up within two days. The only thing is that the job actually took two weeks because they had to order the special part. But as soon as they got it, they called me up and they were there within 24 hours. These guys at American Home Shield are professional. They take the job seriously and they got the job done. Aside from the phone call I was getting for confirmation from the American Home Shield, I was also getting the text message and the email. So in case I missed the call, I have other options to follow through, which was really good.

    ASAP Plumbing Service was very good as well. My sink faucet was a pull-down one and the hose was leaking when I would turn it on so it needed a new hose. Also, the lever to my bathroom flush tank was cracked so the water was leaking from there too. Thank God that we were not using the bathroom. We had two so we stopped using it. The plumber was very professional and he made sure he cleaned up. He got the job done fast enough plus he cleaned up after himself. One thing my wife wants though is if the plumbers have one of those booties they can put on on their shoes. This plumber has to go to different homes and my wife is a clean-freak. Since we didn’t have any booties, we had to clean the whole house because they had to go to the bathroom and then kitchen. Otherwise, things have been good since the repair.

In this way, they know and the contractor can be dispatched out quicker instead of just a normal ticket. When we went to flush our toilets, the water came up instead of going down. So, we submitted a ticket online with American Home Shield and the next morning, the plumbing company called us. They were not able to get to us for 48 hours, so I called back to American Home Shield and said that it was not going work. We needed it done that day because our pipes were backing up.

The contractors were professional, nice and super timely. They were out the next day early in the morning. The contractor that went out reset it and it went great. There’s a reset button. I thought I had reset it but it didn’t reset. Then he said he’s done this for 15 years so he knows how to do it pretty well. They were polite and were in and out of here in less than 10 minutes. So far, my experience with AHS has been amazing. It’s been quick, easy and super-efficient. Even in these times, I haven’t had any issues. I had two calls out and both of them came within a day and were professional and handled the business and left.

    Our dryer was making a clicking noise when it would run. It was intermittent, but it was making a clicking noise. It was irritating my wife. Also, it didn’t seem to be drying as well as it had before. We called American Home Shield and I spoke with a live person. The only issue I had was that they asked for detail on what we thought was happening. But when the tech came out, he didn’t bring a part with him. The work was delayed for five days until he could get the part. These guys should carry some parts. We told AHS what kind of a dryer it was, but it didn't matter. Overall, we’re very satisfied. It just took about four days longer than we wanted it to. We had a second service call and it didn’t cost me anything.

    I'm on my own and my house is getting older so it's the right time to get a home warranty. It's been an excellent experience. Recently, I called Home Shield for an air conditioning unit that wasn't working. I spoke with a live person and she sent me the information for Gagne Heating & Air. Then they called and texted me when they were on their way. The air conditioning unit is working fine now.

    The stove's control panel stopped working, so Premier Appliance had to replace it. The tech came out and diagnosed the problem right away. They had to order the part, and it took about two weeks to get it. They kept me abreast of what was going on as far as the part not coming in yet. Then, the techs came out timely and it took them about 30 minutes to get the part in. Everything was good. I was very satisfied with the contractor. What I like about having American Home Shield is the timeliness in once I call and submit a claim to get someone out to repair.

    It was about two weeks since I called Home Shield. The AC wasn't working, the contractor came, checked the unit, and said that the pump for the fan wasn't working. So, they came and they changed that. But then four hours after the guy left, the AC went off again. I called them the next day, they came the following day and the guy checked it and said the compressor wasn't working. So now, we have to get a compressor. The guy came today, changed the compressor, and he said the fan isn't working. So, the motor for the fan that supposedly the guy changed the first time isn't working.

    The tech was very professional. He called me, showed me what he was doing and what he had to change, and even the wiring system and when he attached the compressor. He said, "Look at these wires. They're old." He changed all the wiring, everything that needed to be changed. Unfortunately, he has to tell his company now that they have to get another motor for the fan out to the house.

    The guy came today, put on the compressor and the refrigerant, and he said it's still not working. The motor for the fan isn't working. He said even when the guy changed that part, which I thought he did, it's not working. Home Shield had to know by now. The guys may put on this motor now, tomorrow, whenever they come, and it may go bad again. It's an old system. The parts that the old system used is an R22 and they're not making those parts again.And the thing is they're not making this system again. So why go through this? Come here, fix one part, then next, they come back, it's not working. This is the third time that they came to change something on the AC.

    The guy said, if it's a motor that the guy changed the first time, he said it looked as if it could be a new thing, but it was not working. So he had to put in a part. He said sometimes he takes them out of a new box and he put it on, and the same thing, it's not working. The first time when the guy came, he went in, looked at the system and then he went upstairs and said, "The fan isn't working." So, he had to go change that, then he would see if the other part is running as it was supposed to run.

    Home Shield should have gone through and just changed the whole system. Now, I have to pay $755 out of pocket, not for the compressor, but for refrigerant locking caps and custom modification, which they said was in my contract. Nobody told me about this out of pocket when I signed the contract. I paid $755 plus the service, so that's worth $1,000. But we could do an upgrade with Home Shield and get a new system for half the price. I pay them to fix or repair. So them coming out to tell me, "Upgrade with American Home Shield" and pay close to $4,000 out of pocket for a new system is not what they advertised.

    Crystal Air was great. They came and identified that Violin Heating & Air, the people that American Home Shield sent out prior, didn’t know what they were doing, put in non-compatible equipment as well as installed it wrong. So, I paid them almost $3,000 for work that did not work. So, when Crystal Air came out and told me the problem, they said they don’t work on specialized zoning like what I would need, but they do know what the problem is. I went ahead and called a company out of the paper and I found somebody who came out and verified exactly what Crystal Air said. The guy gave me an affidavit in writing, and I went and stopped payment on my credit cards to Violin after calling them a dozen times, leaving messages, texting them, requesting them to come out and fix the problem that they started.

    I was texting their service tech at one point, and I said, “Look, if you’re not gonna come out and fix it, then I’ll charge it back, and I’ll give the file to my attorney.” He replied, “Don’t threaten me.” I said, “I’m not threatening you. I’m telling you that I paid for a service that doesn’t work, and if you’re not gonna fix it, then I will dispute it, and we’ll deal with it that way. That’s not a threat. That’s a promise.” So, bottom line, I went ahead and did that with my credit card company last week on both accounts. I would highly put Violin on suspect and recommend that American Home Shield remove them as a vendor because they’re awful. I called their office, I left messages on the manager’s phone and the rep's phone. The rep responded. The manager never got back to me, never called me, and never replied.

    I’m overall happy with American Home Shield. My issue is I paid them three times to have Violin come back to fix the problem that they never fixed right in the first place, and that doesn’t seem fair because I’m paying $75, $75, $75 for nothing. But other than that, for the most part, I find American Home Shield does what they’re supposed to do. I just think they really need to work on the vendors because the vendors are taking advantage of people, and not many people have the resources I do to say, “Okay, you wanna play that way? We could deal with it.”

    He also saw where someone had done some work previously and did not actually do something in terms of connecting something off, so he went ahead and did that. He said he did that because inspectors inspect their work because they have to pull a permit. He said they pull the permit to do the work on my home.

    I used to have another home warranty and they were absolutely fabulous. Then I got American Home Shield and they don't understand that they're outsourcing their customer service overseas, and it is absolutely horrific. You can't even get anything done. My oven has been broken since December 11th and ABC Appliance came out five times in three months but they were not able to repair it. The tech said American Home Shield needed to assign somebody else to replace it and he left. I explained to American Home Shield that the previous year we had replaced all the computer parts and even this gentleman said, "I have no idea. I'm just replacing parts. 'Cause this whole entire oven looks brand-new." So they said they were gonna send another guy out. I told them it was fine.

    Accord Appliance sent me a text that they would like to schedule but for some reason, they got it confused with this agency was supposed to be fixing my refrigerator. So they never came out for the oven. I called American Home Shield to tell them that it has been six to eight weeks and nobody was coming out. But they told me that they closed the claim. I asked them why did they close it? They never sent anybody out and they've never fixed it. Then the guy said he would reopen it and send Accord back out. I told him okay and then I get charged another $100 for the deductible when the first person never repaired it. So I was pissed because I got charged.

    The gentleman came out and he said he could turn it on and get it to go hot. I told him that if he opened up the cabinet and looked at all the screws that the previous mechanic left, he never even put this oven back in. It was just pushed in. Then he said it was getting hot and he told me that he was gonna tell American Home Shield that he could see it was getting hot, but it was intermittent and he needed to find out what it doesn't do. He told me to take a video of it.

    I turned the oven on and waited for it to pre-heat. It took so long to pre-heat that I've made my entire banana nut bread and it was still not hot. So I pre-heat it, put all the banana nut bread in, and then I turned the video on and the dash display showed that it has been on for an hour. Then I turned it off and I went to reset it. It stated that it was not at 425, but it was at 285. So everything was raw. I baked a lasagna for two hours and I stuck my finger in it because it never got hot.

    I called back American Home Shield five times, but it seemed like they always answered after 22 to 45 minutes. I argued with the lady that she would charge me $100, but she was just submitting it. I called back again and this lady named Katie appeared to be in the Philippines and she was a sweetheart. She reversed the $100 and then said she would reach out to the appliance people. But the appliance man said, "You know, I'm sitting here looking at videos. I can see that a video that this oven has been going for an hour and a half and you pull a cake out and it's liquid inside." I told him that I was showing him five videos of evidence that after a long time, it did not sustain heat. He said that I have to call KitchenAid or replace it. It was almost gonna be six months and I still do not have a working oven.

    I reached out to American Home Shield and I've sent them things. There's nothing on their website that allows you to send an email to them. You either have to call and wait on hold, which sends you overseas. There's no way that you can get an American-based customer service person that can make decisions. It's ridiculous. Also, they won't transfer you to a manager. I had to walk them through because they made me crazy. But at least Katie was good. Some of their employees are good. But it's not logical after you've had seven service calls that if they can't fix it, why aren't they replacing it?

    When I recommend American Home Shield, I use my own story and tell people what was going on and how much I pay. People always feel they don't want to pay that much money, but I tell them what I was able to get out of it in the long run. Recently, D & G Garage Doors came to correct the problem and it was good. They also showed me where the problem was and moving forward, I should be able to correct it if it's the same problem.

    I also used American Home Shield before in a previous job and it was A Action Heating and I didn't get the best service. They didn't do a good job the first couple of trips. They came three times, and the first two times, they didn't do anything. On the third time, I called Home Shield and they told them they had to come back and fix it. They came back and fixed it, so I didn't have problems with it but it's not 100%. On top of that, I spoke to them on a Wednesday to try to get them to come and visit on a Friday and they charged me a weekend fee, so they could come and see me on Monday. I didn't understand why I had to pay, but unfortunately, it was the wintertime and we needed somebody there. Otherwise, I would have to wait a week.

    I called American Home Shield and they got on top of that and had them refund me because they said they weren't supposed to charge me. However, they only sent me a $33 check and not the whole 57 and change for their overnight special. They were the only bad experience I had and that's one of the places I won't use if I ever call Home Shield and they have them come to my house. All in all, I'm using Home Shield for two homes and they are very timely. I like the vendors that they send out too. It's convenient and I've been satisfied.

    AHS's coverage was worth it and quick. I was able to book the day after when I was free. It was really convenient and timely. I had a claim for two circuit breakers that popped and weren't coming back on. It kept popping. I don’t know if it was damaged, but the contractor replaced one and fixed the other one. It's working great now. He was on time, friendly, courteous, and professional. He got to business and was done quickly and went about his day.

    I’m very pleased with American Home Shield. Being a new homeowner here in Georgia, we decided to go with American Home Shield because my brother-in-law right in the corner has it, and quite a few other people have it too. They were very satisfied with it, so we decided to try them. And we’ve been with them ever since.

    The only problem that I’m having, I have a stove that is constantly giving me problems to the point it was giving off gas. We called the fire department, they came in and checked everything, and we had to turn it off. And that stove continuously gives us problems. But the last time someone came out here, we were told that if we had any other problems, to let them know and they will replace it. ‘Cause we’ve had this done several times, service people had to come out and try to fix it.

    We’ve had other minor things and called them and they came out. And they’ve always come through for us. As soon as this problem was detected and Charles have called, they came right on out. I like the fact that we don’t have to try to get on the telephone in trying to find someone to come and fix something. American Home Shield does that for us. ‘Cause we have been burned before by calling people, and they come out but they were not reputable at all. Other than that, we are very happy with them.

    I called on Monday for my AC unit. We scheduled on Tuesday. The tech was here on Wednesday. He was here 30 minutes, and he fixed it, and he left. And it was awesome. I wish AHS would have someone come out to do a quick check-up of the system and it wouldn't be a warranty claim. Then they would recommend service. Or if the person is already there for service, they take an extra minute to do a brief system check. It's something that would probably be cheaper, in the long run, as long as they're out there to service something, then do a quick check of it rather than wait for something to fail. I wouldn't mind paying for that service because I would rather have something preventative than have it fail.

    When we first moved into this house back in 2016, our Realtor gave AHS to us as a moving gift. Then, I picked it up again this year. Submitting my claim with them was very easy and took a few minutes. It was very intuitive, simple, and user-friendly. On the drop-menu, I said what the problem was affecting. Although there was still a lot of room for improvement, overall, it was a very smooth process. They reached out on the same day. Then the plumber reached out before the end of the day. He came a day or two later. He walked in with the parts and the tools he needed, made the fix, and was gone in 30 minutes. It was awesome.

It would be pumping dry air instead of water and that was not the case when we moved into the house. It was a major source of stress for us that that was not working properly. We were worried that it would cause greater damage. My wife submitted a request to have that checked out and the technician was able to come out very quickly. He showed up on time and it was excellent. He said there was a leak, but he was able to repair that that same day. My wife thought it was fantastic.

    American Home Shield has been a total failure to meet their end of the deal. They promise that they either get your item fixed or they will replace it. I have been trying to get my dishwasher fixed for the past 2 months and although they have attempted to get it fixed their contractor has failed to do so and American Home shield has also failed to ensure that their contractors meet their timeline for reports.

    The customer service people only know how to say sorry but never offer any real solution to any problems. When they do "fix the problem" they actually just say what you want to hear and then nothing happens and the problem continues to stay alive and well. Calling American Home shield? Well be prepared to be put on hold for 45-90 minutes and then the call being "lost" so gotta call again because their agents aren't calling you back. This has been a terrible experience and after 2 months I still have no dishwasher but rest assure that American Home shield is taking their monthly dues each and every month without missing a single one.

    American Home Shield used to be fair many years ago when we signed on. Now, not only do they outsource to countries with language barriers, they contract with inept companies unqualified and accept their inflated/padded costs to compensate for the profit loss going through AHS. I’d already researched different brands and installation costs, so knew CNJ was trying to charge for installing components covered by AHS by replacing the verbiage to “modification costs”. After reading CNJ’s F ratings, I requested AHS a second opinion, which the contract says is allowed. They Denied a second request. Because I questioned CNJ to explain how their $595 extra fees were legitimate, They refuse to service my water heater and told me to request a second opinion from AHS. “Customers do it all the time. It’s allowed by AHS...” as I was quoting the rude girl I spoke with at CNJ.

    This company should have their licenses taken away! CNJ Is a JOKE! Sadly, AMERICAN HOME SHIELD WARRANTY is just as fraudulent allowing and agreeing to illegal padded costs on so called modifications which are components that are covered under our AHS contract. I had two plumbers come out to give estimates on a new water heater, comparing apples to apples. Plus, I called the manufacturing companies of Rheem, A.O. Smith and Bradford White water heaters. I also called seven local plumbing companies for estimates and if they charged for components necessary to hook up the new water heater. They All told me the same thing. Components should be included in the price of installation if they are not changing the size or type of the water heater.

    We have a 50 gallon gas tank and replacing it with the same type. CNJ and AHS are claiming these are modifications because our old tank is before the 2015 Government Energy Efficiency Code requirements. They think customers are dumb enough to fall for this. I checked with these new codes and it has nothing to do with components, but the tanks themselves. Whether you’re replacing a two year tank or a twenty two year old tank, it’s just good plumbing to replace components when renewing the tank and should always be included as standard installation costs.

    I had to finally contact CNJ that AHS assigned to us, to come out. When I got their $600 extra fees charges on components, I demanded a second opinion from AHS as our contract states is allowed. They DENIED me that right. Then, CNJ refused to contact me because I questioned and refused to pay unless they could explain how their inflated costs were legitimate. The rude girl told me to call AHS and request a second opinion, that’s what people are allowed to do because they refuse to service me! Both AHS and CNJ should be investigated by the Attorney General, my next contact along with BBB!

    My next-door neighbor got a contract with Home Shield. I told him that I had to get some and he told me to go get Home Shield. I said I’ve heard negative things about them and he said, “Nah. Look, they're pretty good.” So, I asked how much is it a month. And then I said, "By the time I start to use it...", and he asked me what if something happens and it costs me way more than that? So, he had me thinking. He sold me even after I heard negative things and I’m glad I listened to him. And once I did, Home Shield has been fantastic.

    I submitted my claim over the phone and went through a live person. I’m old school. I always like interacting, regardless if it’s bad, good, or indifferent. I hate the automated stuff. The initial issue was my faucet in the kitchen, my bath, my commode, and the upstairs commode itself, and then the two-faucet in my bathroom because they were recurring a leak. I had it done back in October, but that went over my 60 days. They had started messing up, the same exact thing that they did before. It was still leaking. It started leaking back within that 60 days, but I had to order another faucet from Delta. And then that came in and All American Plumbing fixed it, but since I already had another one, they just replaced that. And then the outside faucet, so it was three faucets. All American Plumbing was awesome. Eric was pretty good. My wife and I are well pleased with American Home Shield.

    It has been eight or nine times that the refrigerator was fixed. Home Shield has given me a hard time about it. They keep telling me that if it's fixable, then it needs to be fixed. The first contractor came six times back-to-back and the poor guy said he didn't know what else to do. He called KitchenAid, which is the company of the refrigerator. And when he was finally done, he said he changed everything. I literally have a brand new refrigerator. He changed the motherboard, the sensors, and the liquid to keep the cold. He even changed something on the freezer on the back and the little balls that roll the doors. So, he told me I should be fine. But if the fridge broke again, he would go ahead and let Home Shield know. He let them know that time but Home Shield said, "Well, just fix it and then see what happens."

    So it broke again, and then he came one more time and he said, "I really don't know what it is" because he tested the motherboard and it was good. He said he would just go ahead and change the motherboard. He would order a new one and change it and see if that does the trick. I told him, "I thought you said it's good and it doesn't need to be changed." He said, "Yeah, but I don't know what else it can be." So, he ordered that, got it, replaced it, and again, the refrigerator worked for a little while and then it broke again.

    And the last time, he didn't come back anymore. It was a different guy but the same company. He was like, "I don't know. I'm just gonna go ahead and change the motherboard." Now, it's a different company. I told him what happened and then he said, "Do you have a history?" I said no. I went to my account with Home Shield to see if I could track it. I just couldn't see it. Because I'm working so I was backing off from the computer to go to him. He said he might ask, and he showed me.

    The guy told me what he was gonna do and I said, "Oh, that was the first thing that the guy changes. So that has been changed about a year ago." He said, "It shouldn't have broke already. How's that go?" The first company that I had, the motherboard was the first thing that was changed. Then he said, "Well, I had to change it. It's odd that it went out within a year." He changed it and that was it. It's working and it always does. Every time someone touched it, whatever it is, it works. Three to four months and it breaks again. The gentleman said that if this time the fridge goes out, because that was the second time the motherboard was changed, he said he would just go ahead and claim it. It's just becoming too much. On top of all those $75 every time, it's the food. Everything got bad. I could just go ahead and buy a new one. Not like that but something that's smaller and old-school that would last longer. I'm hoping for the best.

    One day, I have the microwave which is a combo with the oven. But only the microwave went out. I didn't know what it was. But at the same time, I have electrical power. Half of my house went out, which included the kitchen. Maybe when the power went off, something happened on the microwave. So I called Home Shield and the contractor came and fixed it. The unit was KitchenAid as well. The tech told me, "I don't really know because the oven is working and the microwave is not. If it was power-related, it should be the whole thing." So, he just changed the computer system or something on the microwave and it worked. That’s brand new, so I don't know what happened. But the guy that came and fixed the refrigerator was very nice and professional.

    I've been wanting to change my warranty provider for several times but I don't have the time to actually look for another one and see. I've been with Home Shield for so long. I have two properties with them. I have a rental home and every time the contractors go to it, I don't know what it is, whether if it was because I’m not there or if it was the renters, but I have issues. Then I have to pay out of pocket for some things because Home Shield won't cover them. But that’s with my older property.

I said I wasn't having any trouble with the refrigerator. I'm having trouble with the freezer. So, I woke up one day and don't have no freezer.

    Del's worked on the refrigerator. They said that I had a water leak, so they repaired that. And then my dishwasher was acting up. They came out and said they couldn't install a dishwasher because I had a leak under the sink. Another guy came out, said he was some kind of technician, and he said there was no leak under the sink. So, they came back and put the dishwasher in. They're beating around the bush and I'm really getting tired. It was about three times in one month that they sent somebody out here. Each time they come out here, they charge me $100. I called the insurance company and told them that I'm having a problem. They said that they will get somebody out here to check on it. When somebody came out here to check on it, they started working on the refrigerator. When they got through and left, the noise is still in the freezer.

    They told me that they have a part on order now. They said that when they order this parts, it is gonna cut this noise out. I called in the latter part of March and told them I was having trouble with this noise in my freezer. They've been coming out and doing stuff on the refrigerator. They said it was a part they ordered because I can't get any water out, and they said that they can't replace that. I started with American Home Shield in January. I had Sears and they were acting up, so I fired them. My daughter recommended AHS because she used it and she has a sister that used it also. But I'm disappointed with AHS.

    When we moved into the house, the appliances were five years old. We waited a while before getting American Home Shield but we knew the appliances would be getting older. My wife called a claim with AHS in for an issue with the pool pump. When the guy from Allen's Pool Service called me, my wife and I wouldn't be here so I left the gate open for him. Then he fixed the issue and he did a good job. The pool pump has been good since the service.

    My washer had leaked water. When the technician from Dill Appliance Repair got here, he couldn’t replicate it so he didn’t think there was anything wrong. I’ve used it one time since and it doesn't leak. It must have just been a fluke. So, it was just an $80 nothing call. In all the years that we've had American Home Shield, we’ve probably only had two times that we have not been satisfied and those have been a while back. When you're looking into getting a warranty, just be sure with what it's covering.

    I had a broken pipe that's in my yard. The tech from Plumbers Inc. took a picture of it and he said he was going send it to Home Shield to get verification that he can fix it because I have a mud puddle in my yard. That was Monday. I told him, "Well, no matter what, it has to be fixed." So, I've been waiting for him to send the pictures to Home Shield, for them to say okay and for him to call and make an appointment. He was very nice. He said he would be the one to come back and fix it, but it would probably be a day or two and I'm still waiting. I know everybody's running short staff right now.

    Home Shield should get the plumber out here and fix my leak. When I call them, within usually a few days, the guys that they refer are out and take care of whatever it is. It took me a while to get in touch with them because they're working on short staff. When I got the email from them giving me the plumber's information, they contacted me within 24 hours or I could call and set up an appointment. I tried that and I didn't reach anybody, and then they called me the next day. But other than that, I like Home Shield. I've had them for years. I tell all my neighbors about them.

    The service people from Contra Costa were great, but I have been on the phone with American Home Shield on each occasion, waiting over an hour to get through to get this dishwasher installed. One call was an hour and forty-five minutes until I finally got through with a representative. They gave me a claim number and they assigned it to someone. That person told me they were out of my service area. Then after probably four occasions of being on hold for over an hour, I got a call from AHS saying, "We’re gonna send you the money, $125, find your own person to install because we can’t find someone." I asked them on that call, “Why can't you just send that contractor that came because he told me he would come back?” They told me I was on my own, but then I asked when was I gonna get the money and I didn’t want to sit on the phone for another hour waiting to talk to someone.

    I even went through the system in a different way with American Home Shield and got a representative on the phone a little more rapidly. But then they told me I had to contact the number that put me on hold for an hour. It was so ridiculous. They loop the same music and it’s not even a song. I felt like I was traumatized by what the sound of what they made me to be on hold. It was an awful experience. Every time I've called in the past, I have never experienced this. I do understand that there are some issues because of COVID, but I've had to wait for an hour and forty-five minutes and they don’t even put music on there. Then every once in a while, they have this voice saying, “We’ll be with you in whatever amount of time.”

    Finally, I called up the original company that did the install and gave them the dispatch number. They emailed American Home Shield, and then I just got approved to get it installed on Monday. But I had to call the previous company who they did not give the job to. They gave it to a person who can't service my area. It’s unbelievable. That particular contractor, Contra, did their job. It was a fantastic experience with the actual contractor. In fact, I called that actual contractor after this runaround and they were the ones that cleared this up through email where I didn’t have to sit on the phone, and they were now doing the install. So, I had to reach out to them. The contractor was A plus.

    American Home Shield needs to change the way that their system is. If they want to have customers be satisfied then, don’t waste their time. Our time is valuable, too. I value having a warranty and the fact that they replaced my dishwasher. It’s sitting in the garage right now and has been there for almost a week. So, bottom line is I do value the service. I’m highly disappointed in the communication.

    I had a problem with my main air conditioning unit and they sent out T.J. Morgan to work on it. They got the new port put in but they couldn’t get the unit to fire up. So they ended up saying they didn’t know what the problem was and they recommended that a electrician be sent out. Kelly Brothers came out and they were prompt and very professional. Within minutes, they diagnosed the problem that T.J. Morgan should have known and should have fixed.

    The technician from Kelly Brothers reached out immediately to let his secretary know and they contacted American Home Shield right away for me. The next day, they were able to get somebody out there and correct it after they diagnosed it correctly. So they were excellent. I've had American Home Shield for over 20 years and the convenience kept me around. Also, there’s no big surprise when you get a break down and you need some repair.

    The house was old. Also, when we were closing on it, we needed to use a certain amount of money or we would have lost it. So, we decided to just go with Home Shield. We went with them mainly due to their reputation. When the circuit was screwy, I went online to file request. I’m used to doing it that way. Then it said I should expect a contractor within 24 to 48 hours. RJ Wiggins Company was there on time. The tech was great. The circuit seems to be functioning fine, thankfully. We have a lot of old appliances in this house and Home Shield has been a lifesaver because we already had something major break and have to be replaced.

    My pool service guy told me that my pump looked like it was leaking. He also told me that my timer for the pump was not working. I placed a service call and said that I needed these things repaired or at least checked out. Reflection Pools came and said they didn’t see a leak, but they would tighten it up. Then I called them back and told them that the pump timer was not working at all. I took pictures of it because my pool guy had told me. I have the pictures I took before, during, and after where the one was not working.

    They sent the guy back out and he replaced my sleeper timer. I asked why he did that. I told him to look in their records and he did that probably last. I called the company back and said that their guy replaced the part that had been replaced. I specifically said it was my pump timer. I offered to send pictures and they didn't need that. They sent him out the next day and fixed it and I never heard from them again. We just had a little misunderstanding and I don’t know if it was between the warranty company and the service provider, or the service provider to the technician. But in the end, everything got fixed.

    Ever since we’ve had repairs done for the pool, they’ve sent me Reflection Pools. I know the girl on the phone and I know the guy that comes to my house. He’s really quick to dismiss whatever. It usually ends up in they call me and tell me they’re coming, and I tell them exactly what’s wrong. He comes out and he looks at it, and it’s always that they gotta get the part and come back the next day. If I go and tell them what’s wrong, can’t they bring the part with them so it’s one-and-done? That’s a little frustrating for me. Sometimes, they don’t listen. I don’t know if it’s a they or a he. One time, I had asked them in the past to send somebody other than Willie. They said that he's their best one and he’s in our area. I agreed since they said he's their best. Nevertheless, their service has been fine overall.

    I like having one place to call and get things taken care of. Sometimes, it takes a couple of days. But usually, if it’s an emergency, I can tell AHS. Like our AC that just went out a couple of weeks ago. I have health issues, and so does my husband, plus this COVID. I told them that I really needed somebody that day. It was hot and humid, and there was all the pollen. I could not go the whole weekend without my AC. They sent somebody out that same day.

I didn’t know that until DNB Plumbing called me and I said, “No, there’s two.” The rep said, “Well, I can’t process one because I saw there is on there.” I told her that was all it would allow me to do.

I don’t understand what they’re saying because I have not had a problem. Sometimes we don’t agree with the coverage, but they do take care of it and it’s prompt. We’ve saved a lot of money with it. We thought the pool pump was going out, but it wasn’t. Texas A-1 Pool & Spa didn’t do anything to it. It was doing something but when they came out here, it’s working fine and it has been since. They were very nice and on time, though.

    The only thing I probably would complain about AHS is their program answering. Sometimes it’s very hard to get through. It takes a while on hold sometimes, too. I try to do it 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning before everybody else gets up and I go through. But I do go to their website especially to check what’s covered.

    The AC system was not cooling the home when it was reading on the panel on the thermostat. The temperature actually in the home was not compatible. It was very hot although the unit was still on. The Lane Services technician came out and repaired it. I didn’t have any difficulties submitting claims. Once I called American Home Shield, they’re very good about getting someone out.

    It may be something that AHS can’t do, but it would work better if I could get the same company to come out when I have a service call. Whenever a new company comes out, in reference to anything, if it’s been repaired before even if it was last year, I have to start the process all over. That wastes the tech's time or it takes more service calls. I would recommend having the same contractor come out if they can. It's the best way to tackle any issue that goes down in a home that they’re continuously serving. I have a pool and whenever they send someone out they’ll send a new contractor out, and that person is not familiar with the unit and they have to fumble through it a couple of times before they get it right. They mess up so I have to continue to call in a service request.

    The repairman from Atlantic Appliance Repair said that as soon as the water started, the pod dissolved so it wasn’t doing the job it was supposed to. He was very good and he fixed it. He got here when he said he was going to, was very efficient and he did a fantastic job. And now I know, if your door doesn't work, do not put the pod in regular unless it’s in the door. Everything has been perfect since the service. Now that we’re self-quarantined here, there’s no going out so we're cooking three meals a day.

    At that point, my pool guy was here. He said he knew an electrician and he would see what he could he do. My whole electrical panel was blown out. I had no electricity in the house whatsoever. The guy came over and said that he could try to get the permit within the end of the day, which is around 2 o’clock in the afternoon, because he knew somebody in the permit office. About an hour later, he said, “Hey, I got your permit. Do you want me to submit a bid for this?” I said, “Well, I have no electricity. I got to do something.” So, he gave me the bid and I agreed to it. I ended up paying out of pocket, 1,675, and my electricity was restored the next morning. So, I stayed with no electricity in my house. The next morning, the tech came in and he had everything up and running by 2 o’clock the next day.

    I sent an email to Home Shield regarding that, but I sent it to a privacy email and I got an automated email back saying, “This is the Privacy Department,” because I didn’t know where to send an explanation of what had happened. I went to their website and the only thing I saw was a privacy and some other type of email to send something to. I didn’t have an individual, so I sent it to that. I was waiting. I was going to call today to see who I could talk to about that. I don’t know if there’s any type of reimbursement I can get since I had to have my electricity on.

    With COVID going on and all that, electricians and AC people are probably backed up. I totally understand that with their schedules, they can’t. Maybe somebody was able to. Home Shield has a pool of 5, 7, 10 people but I need to get my electricity on because I have food. So, when my pool guy recommended someone, I was happy with the 1,675 bill. The original guy told me I was looking anywhere between $2,300 and $3,000 to have my entire panel replaced. In my head, 1,675 was a good price, so I went with that.

    I’ve had two repairs in the year that I’ve had this house and Home Shield sent somebody out. Both times were good. My first one was for something else, but it was taken care of right away. And then this one, Home Shield had somebody out here fast. It is just that unfortunately, they couldn’t do it within a week or so. It was an emergency situation which I wish I could have had one of their people do it. But it didn’t happen. When your whole electrical panel blows out, it stinks. But other than that, Home Shield has been great.

    We got this protection because we bought the house in August of last year and within the first three months, I didn't know a tub could start leaking and actually flake away, but fiberglass can flake away so our tub had to go. We had to replace the bathroom, the washer and dryer, the dishwasher and the microwave. And then after, I looked into Home Shield for the rest of the appliances because everyone told us, they're made to last around 10 to 15 years and then they're going to start breaking. And the house is exactly 15 years old. That is exactly what we experienced.

    I flipped the garbage disposal's switch on like I always do and it wasn't taking anything down. There was just a very low hum, not like actually running anything through it. And then a day later, we started to get major backup so water was coming up through both sides and we had to empty the drain with our hands because the food was just sitting in the bottom. It was depressing.

    I submitted a claim online. It was easy to pick the item that needed to be addressed. And once I put that information in, I got an email from Home Shield the very next day. But then I heard from the person that was gonna come out and address it. Plumbing Enterprises called ahead, said when they would be there, and were there when they said they would. Very professional. And in this point in time, it's important to wear a mask and keep your hands sanitary, not touch a lot of things, and he did all that, so we're very happy with the service.

    The garbage disposal is working perfectly fine now. No more bubbling water and nasty stuff coming back up so it’s all good. The tech changed it out. He said that ours was bad. It's over 15 years old, he said. It lasted a good amount of time. We also had the ice maker serviced when it broke. We had to put in a call for the it right after the disposal. So we've been very happy with the coverage.

    I saw American Home Shield on the TV and I called them. They told me what the rate was and I said that I could not afford that. They said, "All you have to do just pay $36 a month, we'll just do the $36 and you'll be fine." So, I could afford that. I like that I can call and they are very attentive in helping and getting somebody there. I also like that they are in the United States. When you call, they are not out of the country. Because out of the country, you have to double-talk. I'm a senior citizen and they are very understanding in what I'm saying because they come back and repeat, "This is the reason you're calling."

    When my garbage disposal was not working, the electrician from J & T Investment came out. He was nice and courteous, but he did not do the switch. So, that costed me to pay another $100 for the plumber to come out to hit the reset switch. The electrician should have hit the reset switch to see if that was the problem. It should not have been two trips. It should have just been one.

    I submit claims online and then Home Shield usually sends me an email saying who they contacted and who will be coming out. And within 24 hours, I usually get a call of who's coming out and when they're coming out and it has been really good. We had a refrigerator that had issues and Home Shield did their best to fix it. Perhaps because it was an older model, they couldn't get some parts. But they got it fixed. I recently put a thing out for our warranty company because we couldn't get the air conditioner to turn on or the fan to even click on. Home Shield sent Steinmetz HVAC out and they found that I hit the light switch to the power of the furnace and stuff when I cleaned it out. Home Shield is wonderful.

    I had a gas pipe that was going into the kitchen that the elbow was rusting out and the gas shut-off was hard to turn. It was an easy process when I made the request, but on the website, it's a little more prickly if you go to a trade and you have to do multiple items in a trade. One instance was plumbing. It only allowed me to select four items that I had problems with, but I had five at that time, so I did the four on the website. The plumber called me after it got assigned and I told him all the things that were wrong including the one that I wasn’t able to list. He came out, did the job, but he didn’t do one of the ones that I had told him about over the phone. Come to find out, it had to be requested before the contractor came out to do their initial inspection and I could always call to add things on.

    Unbeknownst to me, I had to call back and set up another callback for something that I had already reported to the plumber. The plumber didn’t tell that there was a problem, that I had to call before he came out to get it added onto the order. I ended up calling American Home Shield and complaining to them. Before that, one of the claims was denied at that time because it was for the kitchen sink, and the basket trap wasn’t covered. I took it out and did it myself and when I got into it I found out that it was the sink that was the problem, not the trap. There was rust around the sink and American Home Shield was going to send somebody else out to look at it.

    I got introduced to the 911 people and when I set up the callback to do a secondary inspection of the sink, I asked if the hose bibb that I was having problems with was added. This contractor said no, but I could call American Home Shield and have it added on before they came out, so some people know that rule, while some people don’t. As my first time with these people, I didn’t know that and nowhere on the website does it say to call if I wanted to add more reports in. American Home Shield was gonna charge me $75 for somebody to come out and do something that I had reported to the original plumber that he never told me about, but they waived that cost.

    American Home Shield has been great. They have multiple plans which is good. It is of good value based on the level of service that you get. You submit a claim online and they send you a confirmation right away. They then assign you a contractor right away and that person will text you almost immediately, like within a couple of hours of you submitting the claim. You schedule your appointment with that person directly and they come out. You don’t know who it is in advance.

    I’ve had three plumbing calls and I’ve had three different plumbers. Everybody that AHS ever sent to my house has been fantastic. I was able to schedule the service right with the contractor. When the electricity wasn’t working in one of the rooms in my house and none of the lights or the outlets were working at all, AHS assigned my claim to State Electric Company.

    I tried to submit my claims online but the website wouldn’t let me. It said it doesn’t recognize my membership number. H-Plumbing came out and the tech was very nice and professional. He found the problem, which was me. The shower is elaborate and I didn’t know that at the faucet, you have to push this little round thing on the inside of the faucet to make the shower work. I’m 67 years old and I’ve never seen one like that. It’s $75 to find out how to work the faucet. I really didn’t need the guy. It was a waste of time and money. I wish I'm able to speak to the contractors before they come out. That’s what the plumber said. If I had just called and talked to a plumber, they could have told me what to do.

    The other claim was terrible too. My dryer worked but it wouldn’t heat. But then, it turned out it wasn’t the dryer at all. It was my electrical panel. The tech walked over to the electrical panel, pushed it, and said, “Well, that’s your problem.” However, he couldn't touch the panel. I have to call out a electrician for that. It didn’t take the guy five minutes and he was out of here. He pulled my dryer and my washing machine out to get behind them and when he left, he left them there. He didn’t put them back. I did the dryer, then the plumbing, and now I got to do the electrical. I spent almost $300 for those things. If it’s something minor, it should not cost that much.

    The refrigerator was not cooling and Allen Appliance Services came out for it. Submitting the claim with American Home Shield was easy. We do it online every time. However, I don’t know if it’s just because of the pandemic but it’s taken sometimes two days to actually get connected. That’s been the only disappointment. When we had our refrigerator, we had to go buy another refrigerator for our back patio. They had to order parts, again, which delayed about a week as well. But I understand that it has to run through their process. When the tech fixed it, he was in and out, and it works even better than it worked before.

    We were getting air flow, but the AC wasn’t cooling. The technician came in, took a look at the compressor outside, went to his truck, got a part and changed it out. This is the second claim I’ve made. I just bought the house less than a year ago and I’ve had American Home Shield since July. At the beginning of winter, we turned the heat on the first time but it wasn't working. So, Total Air Care came out and dealt with the heater. It has been very easy and nice to go on the website and place the request. Before I could get off the site, Total Air Care called me because the site had already handed off the claim to the vendor and the vendor was right on things. They came out the next day and it all went very smoothly.

    The first technicians Cecil & Sons sent were kinda inexperienced and couldn’t get to the bottom of the problem. I understand new people doing jobs when they start out. As long as they didn’t destroy anything and were smart enough to say, “This is beyond me. I need to get somebody else,” I’m fine with that. On the second day, Cecil & Sons sent out a more experienced tech and he got the AC fixed and back up. The coverage I've received with AHS was fantastic.

    The tech was very knowledgeable and well-spoken. There were no games. I happen to be an engineer by trade, so I was prepared to have somebody come in and find numerous things wrong with a 3-year old Bosch dishwasher. It turned out to be a very small piece of glass stuck in the pump. From what I told him it was doing, he took it apart, found the problem, put it back together, and it worked fine. There was no calling a part bad so for somebody to come fix something without requiring parts shows a level of integrity that you don’t find in people servicing appliances.

    This is a 28-year old home that I purchased almost a year ago. It's a very well-maintained one-owner piece of property. We made the sellers buy the first year of the warranty. I've had such good luck with American Home Shield that I’m considering renewing it when this term is up. It's a great service. I’d rate them a 5 and it’s very unusual for a Memphis, Tennessee company to get a 5-star rating.

    Keepin It Cool came out for a dryer claim with Home Shield and the service technician that showed up was clean and presentable. I felt like he was doing a thorough job. He replaced a fuse, put the thing back together again, and the thing started heating up. A couple of days later, I did a load of laundry and it ran for a tiny while. But it stopped working and I had to turn around and tried calling the tech directly. He told me that I had to resubmit on the website again and they would go through the steps to be able to come back out again. They did that and came back out. The same fuse had blown again and they replaced that, too. And it heated so, it was working fine. I agreed and he left.

    That afternoon, I did a small-load laundry and it stopped working again. I went through the process again and he came back out. He said that it’s not the appliance and he believed that it was something in the vent that was causing it. I had my dryer vent cleaned about two weeks prior to this happening. I’ve been so busy at work that I have not been able to call back the cleaner of the dryer vent, but that’s what I’m going to do. This dryer claim is the second time I’ve ever had to put a claim in on an appliance. I also had a claim for an electrical and they came out and took care of that quickly.

The contractor got out there quicker than I expected them to and it took them a few minutes to fix the problem.
