    I have had problems with my refrigerator where they sent two different companies out a couple of times each to try and fix it. When I have had problems with the repairman that have come out, I called back and I could not get a supervisor or customer service. They sent me straight to the sales department again. And a lot of times, they said they would go ahead and send another repairman out without addressing what my problem and concerns were. They finally were not going to fix it anymore saying it was working fine, but when I talked to customer service, they read that there was something wrong and the last solution of the repairman was to move things from different shelves and keep it off of this shelf. That was not acceptable, so they finally agreed to replace the refrigerator. American Home Shield is supposed to be sending me an e-card to replace my refrigerator, but I still have not received it.

    I have also had a couple experiences, like when I originally called for the refrigerator, they sent someone out immediately and they took care of it immediately. When I called about my light fixture in my kitchen, we figured out it was a $19 ballast that could be gotten anywhere, and it took them months to replace that because it was too small of a job for them to come and do it. I then went over a month with no light in my kitchen ceiling.

    Chris Appliance Repair came and pointed out that there was nothing wrong with the dryer. The vent was blocked and that was why the heat kept shutting off. He didn't do that stuff but he gave us information on people that clear the vents. I was able to clear it myself. He was very knowledgeable, polite, service-oriented, conscientious, and just a perfect guy. The dryer has been working wonderfully since the repair. Overall, the American Home Shield system works perfectly to me.

    There were two problems. I had a faucet problem in the kitchen where a little water was coming out of it and maybe something was clogged because I got water on the toilet in the basement. The contractor fixed the things and I'm satisfied. Last year, I had a problem with the AC system in the summer and it was very hot. The service was okay then as well.

    Our furnace had an igniter that died on it and the heater wasn’t kicking on. We have the kinda seesaw weather out here so it’s getting pretty cold and luckily, we set up the appointment through Home Shield. They contacted Weatherwise and it was suggested that we contact Weatherwise as well just to try and facilitate the appointment. When we called them, we were a little bit worried because it was a Friday and they had an automated message that said it was their high season and with everything that had been going on, they were also really busy. So, they said that if we didn’t catch them in the early morning when they were doing their scheduling, we might not get in. But as luck would have it, I left a message and about 10 minutes later, Weatherwise called. They said they could be out in a few hours and when they did, they handled the job. Everything was great and went super smoothly.

    Other than that, we have AHS for at least 10 years now and every experience we’ve ever had has been perfect. We had their warranty on other houses that we’ve been in in the past and in this specific home, we have them since October. So far, we’ve never had any difficulty with them. But at one point when we first transitioned into this new house, there was a glitch in the transfer of policy and it took 20 minutes for them to sort it out. They were saying that they they didn’t send out this mailer or that it went to the wrong address. But they quickly resolved it and they said there was no problem with the claim that we were trying to submit at that time. So, it wasn’t a big deal.

    We were getting an error message on our water heater and it was beeping. So, we put in a warranty. At first, American Home Shield sent a plumber. That plumber said that he was not HVAC-certified, so we needed to have an electrician come out. AHS made all of that happen and Total Air Care came out. But the electrician said that it was a plumbing issue so he went back to AHS. AHS then sent Hers & His Plumbing. There was an issue with the condensating line and the water was backing up which was causing the error message. So, it needed to be slanted and the guy did that. It took him about 10 minutes.

    I did the initial claim online and after that, each time someone came, it was initiated through them sending their report back to American Home Shield. Then, we would get a contact that someone else was coming. The first guy came within a couple of days but that was in the midst of all of this stuff that’s going on, all of the COVID stuff that started happening. So, it was a matter of coming out at a safe time but everything was handled within a week. Everything was wrapped up.

    The first guy who came wasn’t able to do what needed to be done or so he thought. Then, the electrician who came out was very nice and he took the time to explain to us why he could not handle it. The last person who came out was very courteous and he told us what needed to happen. He explained to us that it was going to take a longer period of time for him to fix what needed to happen, he went over the cost with us and it didn't end up taking that, it took eight minutes and that was it. Everybody was good and appropriate. I didn’t have a problem with anybody that came. Everybody who came explained what needed to be done and American Home Shield followed it through and it was done. This was our first time having a claim and I was pleasantly surprised that it went as smooth as it did.

    I have two homes and I renewed my other one. I was gonna use American Home Shield but their fee is higher than most people. And if you have a Freon issue, other people don’t charge the extra Freon that American Home Shield does. Also, it’s hard to get through to American Home Shield on the phone. It takes forever. So, it’s easier if you booked everything online with them. I was worried that the AC was running too much and maybe it was low on Freon. The guy came out, put the thing, checked it and said that there was nothing wrong with my unit. He was friendly, nice and professional. He came on the same day I called. I have had issues before which took forever but maybe because of this Corona thing, people are not busy. Most of the time, it takes several days for them.

    We’re on our second annual cycle with American Home Shield. They are really an excellent organization. I have a claim that’s still going on. J & A did an excellent job. My refrigerator was going out. I called American Home Shield and opened a trouble ticket. They sent J & A out. They replaced one piece of equipment and then within two days, it started dripping ice again. They came back out and said that the refrigerator needed to be replaced. American Home Shield offered me a replacement refrigerator or just an eGift Card to Home Depot. All that worked fine, but I'm still waiting for a refrigerator from Home Depot.

    American Home Shield did their job, J & A did their job. But Home Depot postponed our delivery three times. It was supposed to be April 8. I bought the item on April 1st, then they postponed it to April 15, then yesterday, they postponed it to April 21st. When I couldn’t get in touch with Home Depot at the store, I went down there and spoke with the manager who just said, “We can’t escalate, we can’t expedite. This Coronavirus is giving us problems. You can have your money back.” For me to get my money back now gets really complex because I opened a credit card. I put part of the payment on the credit card above and beyond the gift card price. So, I'm just waiting for a refrigerator.

    If you’re in a house that’s more than 15 years old, you should have coverage on your house for appliances, air conditioning, heating and things like that, because eventually these things are gonna go out. My AHS warranty pretty much covers what I paid for since the beginning of this contract. We’ve used them twice for major repairs. I've had somebody out about four times for very minor stuff where it cost $100 to bring somebody out to look at and fix the problem, and if they can’t fix it, then they take it from there to escalate it. So, I'm happy that I have that kind of a contract. I'm very happy that I have American Home Shield.

    I'm not one of the people who are likely to do whatever online. When it becomes an issue, where I can't call it in, I may just cancel. I called in, and then I talked to the person, and then they told me verbally who was going to call. And then CNJ Services called me and I had to wait over the weekend. So, it couldn't be done as quickly as I thought, but it was just a diverter. It was a very simple fix. The guy came, fixed something really quickly, and he was gone. After I saw him do it, I said, "Well, shoot. I coulda, I just didn't." They did it and that was the end of that. It was one of those things. I understand that Home Shield has other people they have to work with and do.

    J & A Appliance Repair did the repair. But something else happened with the washer. When it spins, it’s all out of control and it kinda tore up the inside of the washer. So I just bought a new one and got it done. I’m realistic. At a certain point in time, I know I’m gonna give up my appliances. So I’ll try to fix it once. If it doesn’t work then I just move on. I know American Home Shield prorates appliances but the washer was like 10 years old so I figured it was time. In fact, I’ve been with American Home Shield for 10 years, since I moved into this house, and the service is very helpful.

    J & A is one of the better people that have come out. I love Cool Air, J & A, and the plumber. The appliance providers before that weren’t as awesome. But J&A was very professional, prompt and respectable. If they wanna come and take the new part off within the next week before the new washer arrives, I would be so happy. I’m a recycler. I don’t like to throw things away if they’re good. I wish they can come and maybe use it for somebody else. That would be wonderful if something like that could happen.

    AHS should have a consistent person coming back, though I know it's a little difficult now. For our recent plumbing claim, a previous plumber didn't answer and was kinda standing around listening. I almost felt like he didn't know what he was talking about and he was saying some nonsensical answer that didn't sound right. It was a ridiculous answer that even basic common sense people would say that it was not it. We have dual showers and they're exactly the same. And his answer that a particular part leaked a lot didn't fly. One shower is linked to the other, they're the same tubing, and they're coming from the same port. So, why would one be leaking but the other wouldn't? Then he left but the problem wasn't solved.

    At that point, maybe there should be a feedback from the customer to say whether the plumber was helpful or knowledgeable or solved the problem. We could've said that that was a stupid answer and that the shower was still not working, because then we had to call AHS again and they had to pay for somebody to come out, which in turn made us pay for someone to come back out, which was annoying. The first plumbing company's name was A1 and they kept coming back giving wrong answers.

    Then, another guy from Plumber's Inc. came out and started speaking a little more reasonably. He said that the problem could be this, or it could be that, and if it gets to that point, we don't have to go through the tiles and really ruin the shower. We'll go through the wall behind it, which makes sense. Right now, the plumber has to replace the cartridge. If that doesn't work, then we have to replace the valve and he'll go through the wall if needed. So, he came out just to see what's going on, and that indeed, it's not fixed yet. It's so weird. We also had to pay for ourselves in fixing the water pressure, the regulator outside in front, which was a good 700 bucks. We tried everything and we've also tried changing the showerhead.

    All our food have spoiled because 1st Choice Appliance Repair came out the first time and didn’t fix it. We put another claim back in so AHS sent the guy back out. He stood in front of our house and said that he didn’t come in because AHS called and told him that they would replace the unit. They told us to wait 24 hours to hear from AHS and if they hadn’t, we should call them back, which AHS sent us a letter stating that they were gonna replace it.

    I was told to reach out to someone for our refrigerator and they were gonna replace it. We put the order in but they were talking about not bringing us the refrigerator until the end of April. So right now, we still don’t have a refrigerator and we have spoiled food sitting in our house. It can be because we’re in the middle of a pandemic and their hands are tied and they can't do anything. So we are just waiting now to see if they’re gonna deliver a refrigerator to us.

    Having a home warranty is very important. I had one in Nebraska and they did a very good job. One thing that they did there with the American Home Shield, they did have a checkup every two years. One year, they would inspect your furnace and the next year, they would inspect the air conditioning and then they’d turn it around. So, they knew it was a service call. And I never did have to have anything replaced because they always serviced everything every other year. And with them servicing the thing, I never had anything go completely wrong. One time when they serviced the air conditioner, it needed a new motor. So, they did it right away. The air conditioner lasted a long time after they kept it serviced. Recently, Scott Heating & Air came out and it went fine. The contractor was very efficient and did a good job.

    I was not impressed with another company that I had before and I heard good things about American Home Shield, which was why I went with them. It got a little testy for a little bit but in the end, everything worked out great and I had a decent service. The only problem I had was the time that it took to go through the authorization process. But once that was done and then once the people got out here to do the work, it was great. The contractors were very polite and professional. They communicated well what the problem was.

    Bissett Plumbing came out and had done a preseason inspection. And in that inspection, the contractor found out that something was messed up. So he converted that call into a service call, and then came out and completed that. Then, I got back in touch with him because one of my inside units was leaking water profusely. I made another claim with AHS and he called me again and said that would be covered under that previous order because it was neglected to be fixed or addressed.

    He was putting in a new coil system in the inside unit. 'Cause it was leaking Freon which was causing it to freeze over and leak water. He was out there two days ago then diagnosed the issue of the leaking Freon and had to get the part. The contractor was great. I like him enough to trust him about leaving the key under my front door, under the doormat and letting him in. He's a good guy.

    I had like two claims in a matter of a week with American Home Shield. The one for the garage door went wonderfully. A gentleman from Choose The Right Door was very knowledgeable, courteous, and the whole nine yards. He fixed the problem. The other issue was regarding the air conditioning. There were problems with the ductwork in the attic. It was coming apart and it was not normal wear-and-tear. I told AHS that I don't have any rodents and I go out there. I’m 57 and I’m by myself. The only ones that have been up there in the last four years were the techs and they've been here on and off quite a bit. At least a couple of times a year, I would call on AHS to have something fixed regarding the air conditioning or a clog in the air conditioning upstairs. The techs would go into the attic. It was not like I was pulling anything apart in there.

    I called AHS and wanted to talk to a supervisor because they denied having the few air ducts up there to be replaced. After talking to a supervisor, she said she would send somebody else over. I’m like, “Yeah, to tell me what? The same thing?” I get it if I had a family or a bunch of people here. People probably go up and down. But the problem was either normal wear-and-tear or the people that American Home Shield had come here might have accidentally pulled something off.

    The people that came out the second time gave me a quote to get all this stuff done and it was like 10 grand. One tech was telling me to replace all this and that and that they would get me new air conditioning. I get the quote to get all the new stuff but my whole thing still is, “Is this stuff gonna be fixed through American Home Shield?” I’ve had the home warranty for years now. I’m still waiting to see if any of the ductwork would be replaced but I haven’t heard anything. It’s like two bedrooms that the AC is going to and not all the rooms upstairs. But some of them, it’s creating this black and funky mold stuff, which I finally was able to clean up. I've had to wait for technicians to come to see it. That has been three weeks now.

    I’d like to get that ductwork replaced that’s coming apart. I pay $57 a month and I got the bigger plan. So many people have been in that attic from different air conditioning places and plumbing places. That’s what I don't get and I would want an answer. I thought by having the second person come. I would at least get a callback saying, “We had the second guy out there, a different person, and he said this, or he said that.” But since I didn't hear anything back from American Home Shield, where do we go from here? I couldn’t believe I did my garage right after that. I’m like, “You’ve gotta be kidding me. More money going out?“ But at least he was a very pleasant experience.

    I had Sigmond Plumbing come out a few weeks ago and then I had to have them come back. The faucet that was broken. They put a new faucet on and then I had water pouring out from this little cabinet underneath the faucet. I was in a panic and I was even trying to call American Home Shield ‘cause I thought I had water coming through the wall and I thought that my ceiling was gonna fall on the first floor. But it was the seal between the faucet and the counter wasn’t capturing so anytime my kids were washing their hands and splashing, whatever water they splashed on the counter was then falling in that where there was no seal. So that was water that had accumulated for two weeks underneath in the little cabinet and it started coming out of the edge and through the cabinet.

    The guy came out and he took the faucet back off and he fixed the seal with a plumbing putty. Now it’s not leaking anymore. The faucet seal shouldn’t have been leaking in the first place and I shouldn’t have had to pay $100 for you to come out and fix the seal on something that they just installed. But they were so nice. They were awesome, very lovely and polite. They were using all their PPE and like physical distance and all that stuff.

    I sell real estate and I usually recommend American Home Shield. They’re rated one of the higher ones. They did great in my claim with the door. It didn’t open and the spring had broken. I called AHS and then, they called the door company. The technician showed up right on time and came within 24 hours, which was good because my car was locked in the garage. He was very polite, and he did his thing and took care of business. Everything seems to be working fine since then but right now, I have another claim that hasn’t been fulfilled yet. AHS gave me the microwave but the contractor came out and said that he had to ask them about something. I haven’t heard back since then and that was weeks ago.

    I was not happy with the provider I had previously and AHS came highly recommended. My parents have them. Their website is very user-friendly. With my previous provider, I'd be waiting for weeks to get something back online. During the couple of claims we've had with AHS, the providers have been amazing and responded right away. With the AC, the contractor was able to do the repair right then because he had the part. The garage door guy didn't have the part with him, but he was there the next day and fixed it.

    When we moved into the house, there was supposed to be a service contract left behind by the other owners, but they never transferred it in our name. I had protection with American Home Shield from the previous house and had been satisfied with it, so I went ahead and purchased my own. My experience has been good.

    When our furnace was not working properly, I did a claim and they sent F.J. Murphy & Son. They did an excellent job. AHS said that they had submitted a request to the contractor that it indicated who would be coming out and that they should be reaching out to me but if that didn’t happen, I should contact AHS. But F.J. contacted me in a timely manner. They were very professional, and they did the job in a quick manner.

    There was a leak and All Hours Emergency Plumber had to replace a whole lot of the pipe. Then, they found that there was another leak in the part that they didn’t replace. And while they were cleaning out the pipe, there were some things that got into the line and they came out again to clear the line. The piping that was put together is slightly lower than it was before so now, there's still a leak, only it's from the bathroom sink where the pipe runs in where they put everything together.

It was 55 degrees in our house, and I couldn’t get anyone to come out right away because a lot of people were having trouble. American Home Shield wasn’t going to reimburse for me to have somebody come, and it wasn’t an option. We had to have somebody come to fix it right then. It was like midnight.

    After months of me, sending it in and calling, they finally reimbursed it. The guy charged us outrageous because it was at night and they were super busy but we had to have it fixed. We’re having an issue again. The furnace is not working. The tech came out last week and then we paid the thing, and then he came out again yesterday. And then, we woke up today and it was like 58 in the house. It’s not working. I sent him another text message just to see if he can come back out.

    I’ve only had American Home Shield for one year and I’m new with them, but they seemed to take care of the problems that I had. I’ve had had to call in several times in this year and they’ve done everything that I needed. But when we had a hot water heater go out, I had to spend $500 out of pocket that I was kinda surprised. It was a new hot water heater but we could’ve want a cheaper way to do it. But maybe they wanted to make sure I have the best. Other than that, they seemed to do real good with everything else.

    American Home Shield has an answering service when you call them, but some of the times you get somebody rugged in the answering service. There’s one lady that I got a couple times during this year, and I had to have my microwave fixed. I was trying to explain to her it’s a built-in microwave above my range but she kept trying to get the contractor to come out and fix a microwave and a range. I kept trying to tell her that that was not what I needed and I asked her if I could speak with somebody else. I had to do that three times with this one certain lady. She would tell to hold and I held on for 20 minutes and then she’d come back and say, “Oh, I so sorry. You cannot speak to supervisor. She’s in a meeting right now.” The department that they have answering their call for making a claim or to get something done is not all that great.

    When I called back and got somebody else, this person has an accent and she was very sarcastic. I would ask to speak to a supervisor because I had a problem and I wanted to speak with someone else, but she was kinda determined not to let me speak with somebody else. I finally got ahold of somebody and I could tell from her voice that she must’ve been with the company for quite a while because she said, “I am so sorry for this experience. I will have you somebody out there tomorrow,” and she did. So I kinda appreciated it.

He came back to put that on and realized the motor they put in before was dead. But then they called me to say that because of the pandemic, they were gonna have to close and I thought they were gonna contact American Home Shield. But Home Shield said they haven't received anything from the company.

    They said they could send it out to somebody else and have them come out. I had to explain to them that I am a lung patient and I have two asthmatic children with me. At this time, I can't allow anybody to be coming in and out of my house. They kept telling me I'm in a contract and I asked if they could make allowances for me. They were saying if I refuse to let somebody come in because they have somebody that is willing to come in the house, then I will have to start all over again. And I don’t have $75 to start over and I cannot take the risk of having someone else come in. No one was listening. The rep wasn't rude but I didn't feel like I was being heard.

    When I had a plumbing issue, I submitted a claim to American Home Shield and their contractor, C Mayes Plumbing and Heating came out. The claim went pretty well. C Mayes showed up on time and their tech got the work done really fast. He replaced the sump pump but there is a leak from the new equipment that he installed. The pump itself isn't leaking but the piping that comes out of the ground next to our drying machine is. There are a couple of rubber fittings with some clamps on there that he added which leak. Every time the sump pump discharges water to try to get it out, the leaking happens.

    I’ve tried tightening the clamps to no avail. Water still leaks out. Right now, the leaking is only on top of the round metal cover for my pit so it's not a big deal. C Mayes followed up after the work was done and I told them that when it's a little safer and they have some extra time if they could give me a call back and let me know in getting back out here. Still, they've done a good job.

    I've been using Home Shield for years and years and we've enjoyed great service from them. They have been easy to deal with and they get people to our place on time.

    United Air Temp came out once but they didn’t have the part, which was okay. They don’t always get to read the comments that I put in. So then the tech had the piece shipped out here so I have it. But we were getting this COVID thing and I asked them to make sure the next guy wears a mask when he comes in because the first guy didn’t. I just wanted that. You have to go the extra yard. But when the guy called on his way here, he said he saw that I wanted him to wear a mask but that he doesn’t wear masks. He said I would have to call back and find somebody who would wear one. So then I had to call and reschedule because they couldn’t get somebody out that day.

    They would’ve been here on Monday except that I got the news that a friend had lost somebody right at the time frame that United Air was gonna come out. I was helping that friend out and although United Air had somebody on their way, I couldn’t have him here. That was the following week, which was like three weeks from when they first came. But maybe I’ll give it a month. The issue with my dishwasher is a leak and right now I’m hoping it’s not leaking underneath, behind the sink, on my hardwood. But every time I do a wash, I put rags under it and I think I’m catching the leak.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for other houses in the past. So far, I’ve had them now for two years and I get some peace of mind. When I have issues that come up, like when I had my air conditioner go, people come out and I’m not really sure what the problem is and I get upsold a lot. I feel like with American Home Shield, these guys are coming out to deal with the issue and they’re pretty much sticking with the issue to get the thing working. I don’t feel there’s much of a hard sell. Just the first time after I got American Home Shield and before that, I had somebody come out for an issue and it felt like they had created a problem that they kept having to come back on. When I had American Home Shield come out, it was not for the same issue but a similar issue, and they just took care of it. It was a remarkable difference.

    The only thing is that sometimes when I finally get around to calling, like about this dishwasher, there will be one or two plumbing issues that I call up at the same time. I don’t mind doing an extra payment but it’s like each one of them has to be scheduled separately even if it’s the same people coming back out. So it needs more appointments and more follow up. What happened to me was while I was calling that I’ve got this other thing that’s leaking and not working, my water heater broke and I thought I gotta call about this dishwasher before I ruin the hardwood floor. It’s not a big deal that I made two different appointments and the contractor came out two different times but I wonder if there’s a way that I can pay two deductibles and knock it out at one time. That’s really the only thing. Otherwise, American Home Shield has been great.

    With American Home Shield, I used to pay for the service when the service was rendered. I’ve had them before when I lived in Arizona. And now, they collect the money upfront before the service is even rendered. But I was really impressed with it. The last issue I had was a minor plumbing problem and the company contacted me right away. They said they’d probably get somebody out in 48 hours unless we had a cancellation, and then they called me up and said, “Hey, we can get somebody over there in two hours.” I live kinda in the boondocks, so I was very happy with the experience.

    I work on the phone as well. It’s nice when someone says, “We’ll get out there within 48 hours,” and they’re out there the same day. That’s underpromising and overdelivering. It was an air conditioning system, and because I live in Florida, trying to get somebody out that day was something that was really important because the heat here is pretty intense just like Arizona is.

    The company that came was very professional about the way they did it all. They contacted me. They emailed me, let me know the driver was on his way, and what the ETA time was, which was almost right on the minute. I would definitely recommend that company to be kept as one of American Home Shield's vendors. The service industry, to me, has gone down the tubes. People you call and they don’t show up. They make excuses. When you’re in the service industry, communication is key to keeping a person happy. “Hey, look. I’m running late. I know I said I’d be there at 12:00, but I’m gonna be there at 1:00.” That’s fine. I work out of my house so I’m home all day. It doesn’t matter. But the company that came went above and beyond not only to get me done the same day, but to inform me of their punctuality, which was outstanding.

Last year, I had to replace my kitchen utensils, the fridge and everything. If I had American Home Shield, then I wouldn’t have had to do all that. But I did replace it. So, just in case, in the next 10 years, it’s covered with AHS. My neighbor next door has them and told me that it was a good service. When the fan on the AC wasn’t blowing, I called AHS and set up an appointment. I told them that the AC wasn’t working and they scheduled a company who called me the next day. When I called them back, they told me that it would be a week from the time that I called them. So, I called AHS and told them that it was unacceptable. I was without the AC already for three days at the time. So, they scheduled me with another company.

    The person from that company called and put me on hold with AHS. They made sure that they had an open availability and it was for the next day. The guy was nice and he didn’t ring the bell. I was wondering why and he said that usually, when his appointment is before 9:00, he doesn’t want to wake anybody up, which is very respectful. Once he looked at the AC, he said he was gonna see if he has a universal motor in his car. There was one and so, he fixed the AC. If there was none, he would have had to wait to order.

The only concern I have is that I'm not someone that takes advantage of the situation. I’ve been with American Home Shield since the 6th of March and this is the second time I’ve filed a claim. I'm grateful that they covered the washing machine, especially after having a hot water installed the week before.

    There is no electricity going to my water heater so I had no hot water. Brutinel Plumbing & Electrical was able to help that day though they had to come out twice, which was annoying. The first time they came out, they had to replace a part on the water heater. And the next day, because the drain on the side of my house that's where the water heater would normally leak out, was steady leaking all over my sidewalk, in my rocks, and right up against my house. They had to come back out and fix that too. So whatever they did to the water heater, it caused that drain to start leaking.

    The process of submitting the claim was easy. It was a little confusing because I had to do it online the first time and they sent just a plumber out. And they charged me $75 for that. I don't know why they didn't just send that guy out the first time because when I had to pay $150 for them to come out three times and over a course of four days it took for this to get done.

    I feel like if they're going to choose the company that's supposed to come out to me to fix it, they should be choosing somebody that can come out and fix it right the first time, not charging me multiple times. Also I feel they need to do some more research and figure out exactly what the customer needs before they go charging them and sending people out that can't do anything for them.

    We had some work done to our septic tank, and evidently, the guy from Passion Service Pro that put that new pipe in had to make a new access hole for the pipe. There was something that was hanging up the toilet paper because the line kept getting stopped up. The guy just kept flushing it until he got it unstopped. But he was very nice and he did a good job.

    And then, last summer, we had an electrical issue and Home Shield sent an electrician out. The guy said he had to replace the breaker box. He went to get the whole box in the wall, brought it, put it in, and it was about two inches too small completely around the sheetrock. He left it like that and said, "I don't do sheetrocks." And here, our wall was open with a breaker box that was smaller than what's in there. So, that was pretty bad.

    Get more local people because the ones that Home Shield calls out here to work on our stuff is from Biloxi and we're in Carriere, which is over an hour away so it takes them longer to be able to get to us than normally would. We were having issues with the septic tank on Friday or Thursday, and the guy couldn't get here until Monday.

    Get feedback and see what other people's experiences are. My two sons have had the home warranty and my youngest son had to replace his AC unit. He purchased a new house and it came with a warranty, and it was the same company, and they wouldn't give him his money back. He had to come out of pocket to buy his unit, yet he has a warranty. So, I had good experiences, but my son had really bad experiences.

    Hornet Appliance Services was pretty good. When they came out the first time to check the problem out, they looked at and diagnosed the dishwasher. But when they brought the piece for the dishwasher, it wasn’t the right piece. So I’m still waiting on them to get back with me on that. Hornet has passed it on to American Home Shield and they rescheduled something else. I think they’re gonna send another dishwasher. I hope so.

    I had called American Home Shield on the 29th. It was for a leak from the air conditioner. The bottom pan was leaking. It took Metro three days to comply. That made the leak worse. The water leaked in one of my bedrooms, and it leaked down to my kitchen ceiling twice. Now, the other problem I have is with my deductible. Our water irrigation did come out a couple of days ago. For them to repair this is gonna cost me out of my pocket $1,500, and that’s what I have a problem with. So, that’s why I have a problem with Metro. They’re supposed to be out between 12:00 and 2:00.

    Yesterday, it was three weeks we've been in this home. It cost over $20,000 moving in this house. I’m retired. I don’t have money to just come out of my pocket with like that. Metro's reaction time is horrible. I was calling and the guy had an attitude when I was calling him about my leak. So, I wasn’t happy with the reaction time. But the technician that came out was good and American Home Shield was really nice on the phone when I talked to the lady named Amy. She was working with me trying to get this resolved. But in the meantime, I feel nobody's gonna take up this check for me to get this done. I shouldn't have to pay for this. My USA Homeowners called Home Shield about this because they weren’t happy at all. My property manager sent me an adjuster. She called, and she wasn’t happy at all.

    When it comes to Metro's response time, I wouldn’t recommend them. Home Shield should get somebody else for the air condition service. But in that time talking to Home Shield and get things done, I would recommend them. We're waiting on the technician to come back today and check this back out then we can go from there with getting this done.

    At the time we were looking for something like a home warranty, I didn’t find anybody but American Home Shield. A couple of my neighbors recommended them too. They said they had good luck with AHS so, I went with them. It’s exactly what I hoped it would be. We’ve had them for years now and so far, so good. I’m 110% satisfied with them. Sometimes, they’re a little persnickety about what they cover and what they don’t. They are an insurance company, so sometimes they'll try to be stricter about certain things and that can rub you the wrong way especially if you’re trying to get your water heater replaced. But I haven’t had any trouble with the contractors. When I had a plumbing issue, the contractor was courteous, professional, came right on time, knew exactly what he needed to do and had no problem doing it. I couldn’t have been happier.

The guy from Hardy was very nice and he looked around. He was saying that there was a hole up in the roof part. He said because the floor on the attic was wet, the water was dripping down from up there onto the furnace. So then, I called my insurance company. They sent this guy out to check for the insurance, and he was saying that it wasn’t the roof and that the water was coming from a leaky pipe around the furnace itself. So now, I got somebody who will be coming out to check to see if it's the furnace or the roof.

    The website was user-friendly, but I would prefer some options to choose a provider out of the ones that are contracted with American Home Shield. Usually when I make the request, they push an option to me versus me selecting. I’ve dealt with two or three providers and I would just prefer to be able to select which one. After making a request, I expect a call within about 24 hours to set up the appointment to make sure I’m available as well. In normal times, the contractors have been very professional. They keep their distance and they do their job, but they need to be mindful of washing their hands when they come in. It’s understandable though. When our faucet was leaking, we had Plumbing Enterprises change the faucet out. I got a new unit, they installed it and the leaking stopped. All in all, American Home Shield has been very pleasant. When I call them, it’s not always the best of services but it works itself out.

The whole machine was malfunctioning and I needed somebody to come out and tell me why. American Home Shield has been really easy to work with. I typed out what the issue was on the website, submitted the claim, and in 24 hours, I had a company that was assigned to handle that claim.

When I was eventually able to get in touch with somebody, they told me that they were having some personnel issues. The person who was responsible for handling my claim was no longer there and they had to work to try and figure that out. I waited five days but they came through very well. The technicians that came out were very helpful and knowledgeable. They were very responsive from that point forward once we were able to make contact.

They came back and he said, "I had to tie it up." I said, "Are you sure that the seal is not broken or the tank is not broken or cracked?" The guy said they didn't know.

    Comfort Pro showed up on time and took care of our AC and got it functioning again. The technician was clean and well-dressed. He knew exactly what to look for. He jumped up on a roof, came back down and said that it was a capacitor problem. He had a capacitor on his truck. He popped down to his truck and went back up on the roof and plugged it in. He was in and out in maybe 25 minutes. In my opinion, he did a really good job. He was knowledgeable and professional. American Home Shield does everything telephonically but they get things done. They are a little better than the other company I had before because AHS parcel out the service to various contractors versus my previous company where it was always their people. So a person who was a specialist in AC came out and fixed the AC.

    When my dishwasher needed a repair, it needed a thermal switch replaced. Pro Appliance came out and replaced it, and then I found I had no hot water. So I called them back and told that their guy just came out and replaced the thing and now I had no hot water. So the Pro Appliance individual called me back and said that they talked to the technician and he said he did nothing that would've affected our hot water. So I called American Home Shield and I was assigned some plumbers.

    The plumbers from Sogmond Plumbing were here at 12:15. They were both clean, put on booties, put on hands and they did everything right. They asked me to stay away and everything. Then they said that the problem was somebody turned off this part on the water heater. I told them that I got my dishwasher repaired. The guy looked up and said that they forgot to turn the hot water back on.

    I called Pro Appliance and told them that I just paid $75 to have somebody come back out and turn my hot water back on. It was no big deal except that I felt like they should have come back out and turned back the hot water back on. Then Pro Appliance said they would take it up with management. Other than that, I've been very happy with American Home Shield. I always recommend them.

    Total Air Care came out for our AC unit. First, they said it was a thermostat and they replaced it. It had cooled down. By the next week, when it warmed back up, the tenant realized it was not producing cool air. Total Air came back out and gave us an invoice that said it needed 10 pounds of Freon, or that we could replace the whole unit. That Sunday, I got a call from American Home Shield. Total Air told them that it was the condenser and it wasn’t covered because of storm damage. But there was no damage to that unit. It had run all last year. American Home Shield said they could send someone else from a different company out. They sent a tech Advantage who did diagnostics and determined that it was two capacitors and that the unit only held 7 pounds of Freon.

    The thing that concerned me about Total Air was that they didn't know the tenant wasn’t the homeowner and she was an elderly woman. Were they trying to commit fraud against that elderly woman? It upsets me that someone would try to take advantage of the elderly. I don't know that AHS wants those people representing them. It was either incompetence on the company or Fraud on the company. But if it needed Freon, why didn’t they diagnose that when they were first there? Why would they also give the tenant an invoice that said, “Freon or a new unit,” which tenant declined because it's not her home. Then, American Home Shield called and told me that it was the condenser and that it’s not covered because of storm damage. It was not a very good experience.

    Now, my husband met the tech from Advantage over at the house. He checked the Freon, checked the components, and determined it was the capacitors. I certainly understand that if it came to the same diagnosis, then probably I would be charged. But it was almost discouraging me from doing that. The last two times, I’ve had problems with the contractor in that county. I had a plumbing issue and they wouldn’t do the work unless I paid in advance. Well, I’ve never done that, and I don't know whether it’s the contractors in that area. Overall, American Home Shield was great. It took some time, but they let me pick a plumber to go out and do the work, and just cut me the check for the hot water heater who actually sent me a bill, and I paid them.

    American Home Shield sent Whirlpool out for our appliance issue, but then they couldn't make it, so they sent Sears out. It’s been the same issue. They came out in December and the door wouldn’t lock. It kept throwing a code. Then supposedly, they put in a new computer for me, but then just over a month, it went out again with the same issue. The guy said the wire came loose out of the computer so I paid the $75 even though it was just three days past the 30 days. This recently, the same thing happened. We shut the door and it just sat there and clicked. They said the computer’s out again and that they'd pay for it, which was nice. They ordered me a new one and now we're waiting for it.

    When I had an air conditioner go out over Halloween, it took them five days to get all the parts okayed and then three days to get people out. That was a little disturbing.

You go online, enter what the issue is then either you’re prompted to call this number and this company or they send somebody out. The only thing is there's pretty much just dropdown boxes kind of thing online. If you don't have anything from the dropdown box, you pick other. But it doesn't give you an opportunity to type in what the other is.

    Original Review: April 16, 2020

    When I purchased my home warranty from American Home Shield I asked the question, will you make a repair on a covered item if it is still working but there is a known problem with the item. Their answer was YES it only makes sense to repair the item before failure to reduce the cost of the repairs. That was one of the reasons I selected American Home Shield because that reduces or eliminates the down time of the item in question. Well they don't!!!

    I have been with American Home Shield now for about 8 months and my washing machine started making a lot of noise during the spin cycle as if a bearing is going out. The noise is so loud my neighbors can hear the noise if the laundry room door is open to the garage. When I called AHS I told them my washing machine was making a lot of noise in the spin cycle and the noise was so loud it could be heard by the neighbors. They said they would be glad to send out a repairman and promptly asked if I wanted to pay the $108.25 with the card on fill, which I agreed. Within a few hours I received a call from the appliance repair company setting up an appointment for the next day.

    When the appliance technician came out he identified the problem and told me he had good news and bad news. The good news was a bearing and shaft is failing but the bad news was that American Home Shield would not authorize the repairs because the washing machine could still wash clothes. The technician said the bearing and shaft would eventually fail.

    If American Home Shield would have told me when I first called they could not authorize the repairs because the machine could still wash clothes I would have argued with them about what I was told when I first took the policy. I would have been upset with them for misleading me about making repairs on equipment that has not completely failed but they were quick to take my $108.25 knowing they would not authorize the repairs. They mislead me in the beginning and they are cheating me now, of all times during the Covid-19 when so many people are out of work. The only reason I gave them a 2 Star rating and not a 1 Star rating was the fact the appliance repair company responded so quickly.

The gas man found a gas leak within the the box that controls the thermostat.

    I requested a third repairman and they put a pending order on it. I went online and spoke to a service rep who said the company said it was due to paint fumes. I explained the situation. He then told me differing stories. First that she couldn't take my word and they would send another rep. I said fine and then they found an older record of work that I had my hot water heater replaced by someone else. 'They then said I needed proof the the repairman was licensed. And could not proceed any further. I then decided after two weeks I would do it myself. I took out the water heater and then got a repair order and a call from the service technician After I had loaded it into my truck so that I could pick up a new hot water heater. I am not a plumber so will have to pay for one to install a new one. My total cost will be around 800 dollars. This was totally unnecessary.

    I have an older air conditioning unit and it leaks Freon every year. It’s one of the older units that takes the more expensive Freon. Every spring, I turn it on and check it out and can hear gurgling in the line where it was low on Freon just a little bit. Freon has to be put in it every year and the same man, Kevin, comes out. I really like that because he knows the history of my unit. One year, another tech came out, but I like that they knew the history of my system, which is very helpful. I didn't have to tell them what was going on with it. Kevin said that the leak is so small and it’s probably in the A-coil, which makes it very difficult to find. He also said that the leak has to get up to a certain percentage before they would consider replacing the unit. But he does a fantastic job and always shows up on time. He's really fast and I’ve been very happy with him.

    To submit my claim, I normally either go online or I call the home warranty. Then they send me an email and tell me that Steinmetz is gonna be calling me for an appointment. Most of the time, Steinmetz calls me by the next morning, if not that afternoon, and schedule an appointment. When I called on a Friday or Saturday, one of the guys came in on Saturday and happened to see my call. He said that they'd call me on Monday morning to make an appointment. The tech was out by Monday afternoon or Tuesday. I’m very pleased with AHS. They do a great job.

    A lot of times, American Home Shield would refer a company from one area and that company would call, find out where we live and say they don’t service our area. So then I’d have to call American Home Shield back again. But my appliance claim went fine. Sears came out first thing in the morning and they were able to take care of my appliance issue right away. So we didn’t spend the whole day waiting on anyone. However, I had a claim for my ceiling fans in my living room from over a year ago and nothing ever happened. I ended up hiring someone and paid over $500 out of my own pocket. I believe I paid the deductible on that too because American Home Shield did send someone out a couple of times.

    A&S Plumbing came out when my hot water heater wasn’t heating water. When I spoke to them before they came out and told the tech what it was doing, he guessed that the issue was the gas control module on the front of the hot water heater. He went to the supply house and picked one up before he came to the house. The following morning, he came out and verified that’s what the problem was and had the unit there so he was able to replace it.

    I've had American Home Shield since 2004 and I've had really good luck with them. I don’t use them every year, fortunately, but I have used them several times.

The agent I talked to didn’t really wanna cancel it ‘cause they were not supposed to do that. Then I told him that it was a weekend and I couldn't even use my sink. I didn't wanna be stuck with a company that wouldn't do good work.

    I’ve done 2 jobs in 2 months. I’m happy with the guy who put a disposal on my sink. He’s an awesome guy. But the product itself that he installed is a mini mediocre one and it doesn’t work efficiently. My house is big with a bigger disposal compared to what he put. I did call them twice to do that. I’m not asking American Home Shield to upgrade things. I want them to replace the product that they took off with the same product. You can’t call this a warranty if I have 24 karat gold jewelry then you replace it with silver and say sorry. The owner of that place contacted me back and said if he could find American Home Shield's little paper, then he'd go ahead and replace it. But I’ve never heard of the man again so that went sideways.

    Then I had another gentleman that came in a week after I put in the claims. He said he knew my dishwasher was leaking. He walked into my house and said, “I need two towels, and I need this, and I need that.” There was one piece of the dishwasher that was missing and I told him, “Make sure that you do this.” He said that would be another work order. Very nicely, we welcome him to my house then five minutes later, he wanted to fist fight me. I told him I didn’t owe him anything. I was trying to be as nice as possible and he didn’t deserve to be working in my house. I told him to please get out. He slammed the dishwasher and left with an attitude.

    I had to call American Home Shield again for the same product I called in months ago. Another guy came in and he’s lost. I don’t know where he is. He hasn’t installed anything ‘cause it’s gonna take 15 to 20 days to bring it in. There were two of them that came in. They came and diagnosed the thing and said they were gonna call me back. They were gonna get the parts ordered, then they will be back. But I haven’t heard from them ever since. I had another guy that came in. He was able to get the parts within 3 or 4 days. I can understand from COVID-19 point of view, but I should at least get a common courtesy call. I was gonna wait for few more days and if they didn’t show up or did a courtesy call, then I would called AHS again. They’re outside contractor, but again, we are all dealing with AHS directly. Once the contractor gets the job, AHS thinks it’s all done deal. They don’t have to deal with the problem because it’s not directly affecting them. But the contractor is affecting AHS' reputation.

    My husband called a claim in to American Home Shield for our clogged shower. They sent DDependable Service. It’s the second time we’ve had to use them, unfortunately, but I can’t say enough about them. They were here within 20 minutes. The repairman called right after we called and sent us a message telling us who they were going to be. The first time, he said, “Is it all right if I’m there within a half hour?” My husband agreed. On the second one, he called and said, “I’m about 20 minutes away,” and my husband said, “Wonderful.” The first time, he came by himself, and the second time, he brought his father with him. He was very pleasant, very aware of the Coronavirus, wore gloves, brought his own paper towels, and didn’t shake hands. I don’t think we’ve ever been so pleased with a repairman at all.

    Everything has been functioning wonderfully since they’ve been out. I’ve already told a friend about them and she’s with American Home Shield. She was going to wait until after the Coronavirus. And I said, “You don’t have to. He took his shoes off and put those things on his feet when he came in." I wouldn’t go any place else. We get a lot of emails from Choice and somebody else, and my husband said, “Just delete it, delete it, delete it.”

    This is the third year that we’ve re-upped with American Home Shield and they’ve done a good job for us so far. I’ve been very pleased with the service they've provided. I prefer to file claims online and they do a pretty dang good job. When I had a basement issue, they responded really quickly and got someone out within 24 hours. Our basement drain was backing up and I was done pushing it. Quality Plumbing & Drain came out and they were pretty much able to fix the issue. But then there was an issue that was caused from a previous time of them being here. They had to go buy another part for it so the guy came back the next morning and did it.

    When the first repair person came out to look at the job, I explained that our ice maker just needed to be tightened. The second repair guy came out and tightened up the ice maker but they didn't have any of the other parts and we talked about them. We were in agreement that the issue was based on wear and tear, and then he left. Then I found out that American Home Shield denied the flapper, which is a three-foot piece with an electrical wire hanging from our fridge door, and that they also denied the drawer. Actually, the first technician said it was not due to wear and tear but the second technician said that it was. It was nothing that we caused though.

    I got on the phone with a service person from American Home Shield who told me that I could get a buyout for the flapper but then I received no follow-up phone call. There was nothing in the notes. Then I got on with another customer service person who put it up for escalation. But I felt that she was rude and defensive and then I myself, unfortunately, became a little rude and defensive. Once it went to escalation, the third technician came out from GE. He said that the flapper was absolutely needed in order for the fridge to cool properly and that that should have been put in.

    The GE technician said he ordered the parts but it looked like one of them was not due to arrive until June although hopefully, it would come sooner. Then he went on his way. So the flapper hasn't actually showed up but it is also not absolutely the one that we need to function on a daily basis. We initially got the warranty from American Home Shield because our appliances were out of warranty and there was no reason to deny the flapper when it was needed to function.

    Expert Pools came out for our spa issue. They're my favorite. I know Allan, the guy that comes out. He's the one that always works on our pool. I like that AHS gave us an option to choose who we wanted because they were gonna assign it to a different company by default but I was able to select them instead. Allan knows my yard, how to get in and even knows my dog.

    The only thing is sometimes we have more than one issue. In the past, with some of our plumbing stuff inside, it opened up a secondary issue. The contractors could only work on the issue that I opened the ticket for. So, it seemed like a waste of time for everybody because I had to schedule a time to come here so they could fix one thing, and then I had to open the ticket for them to come back to fix something else. We should be able to add to our work order or there should be a process for that because that's very inconvenient for everybody all the way around.

    The first time Myers Comfort Specialists came out, the air was not cooling. It was running but wasn’t cooling. We paid and AHS paid for a new compressor to be put on. Then we had to do a second work order because the lines on the air conditioner were freezing up. The second time Myers Comfort came out, they said that they didn’t put enough Freon in it and that when they put the compressor on, there were some screws that they didn’t put on. So, some of the Freon was exiting out. He had to recharge the Freon and put on those screws that should have been put on the first time.

    I’ve also had to deal with AHS for the plumbing and it was easy. When I do a claim with them, they usually have somebody out here within a couple of days. However, every time I do a claim, I have to pay a lot. You pay for a home warranty every month, but whenever I have somebody come out, I still pay. When they redid the compressor, I still had to pay $600.

    My very first claim experience has gone very wrong. We came home to find our garage door would not open. I entered through the service door and found that the tension spring that helps the door open had broken. I looked at my warranty contract to see if it was covered and this is what it said: GARAGE DOOR OPENERS

    COVERED: All components and parts, except: NOT COVERED: Door or door track assemblies.

    Since the spring was not the door or part of the door track assembly I went ahead and submitted my claim online (I tried to call AHS and was on hold waiting for a representative for over 20 minutes) and paid my $100 service call fee. The repair tech arrived and had to call AHS(on hold for a rep for over 25 minutes) for authorization and they denied the claim stating that the spring was part of the door tack assembly! The spring or springs are a completely separate part from the door track assembly, I did not have to buy a new door track assembly to get the springs replaced, they are sold and replaced as a stand alone part.

    I spoke to the AHS rep and said since the springs are not listed as an excluded part they should be covered, she said no. I requested a refund of my $100 service call fee and she said no because the fee is retained by AHS, not that it is paid to the service company but it is retained by AHS. This unfair treatment has cost me $225 to replace the springs plus the wasted $100 service call fee. I am extremely frustrated by their breach of contract and will spread the word about AHS.

    We've been pleasantly surprised with American Home Shield. When we were looking at reviews, they had pretty bad reviews, so I was a little skeptical. But we've been fortunate. Each time we put in for a claim, they have been really good. Arctic Blue Pool came out for an electrical panel. The low flow filtration switch, every time we turn it on, it would pop. The tech thought it was maybe a fuse. I think he tried doing a fuse and that didn't work. They had to replace the entire electrical panel.

    We put in a claim for the refrigerator. The cooling element went out and they came out three or four times to fix it. That was a little frustrating. They spent more money fixing it than they did if they could have just replaced it. That was the one time I was questioning, "Why don't they just replace it?" The technician that came out said, "They're just gonna keep fixing it and we'll just keep coming out, and it's really up to them." I supposed they thought it was gonna be cheaper to fix it but I can't imagine.

    My first experience with AHS wasn’t a really good one. It was the wintertime and I had no hot water. My water heater went out and I could not get anybody to get out. It took over a week before someone came. And every time I called, I was told they were trying to get authorization. After it was fixed, I was really thinking about discontinuing and going with someone else. But I said that maybe that was just a one-time deal and that I'd see how it went. And then everything has been quick and fine so far.

    When cold air wasn't coming out of my AC, I went outside and there was a lot of racket. On top of that, it was really hot so, I cut it off. I emailed American Home Shield on a Saturday and didn’t check my email, but I saw Bennett emailed me back that evening to set up an appointment. I was pretty impressed by that. A few of my friends weren’t aware that you could get something like a home warranty and I told them that I was very satisfied with mine. I let them know that to me, it's a godsend.

    It’s pretty simple to file a claim with American Home Shield and they are able to get somebody in touch within 24 hours or even the same day. The people that they use are pretty professional. I had an issue with AHS when I had gotten some work done a few months ago about getting reimbursed, but I was able to get in touch with the right person eventually and got that all satisfied.

    The automated service at the beginning is a little bit clunky to get directly to a customer service agent. When you wanna speak to a customer service representative, they automatically assume that you're calling to have something repaired. So sometimes, if you're not able to get through that automated service, you can start a claim even though you're able to cancel it pretty quickly. It should be a little more streamlined. But outside of that, you just hang up, call back again and ask for customer service during the automated. If you catch it right, they’ll be able to route you over there.

    I’m a very frugal person. I always think about the dollars that I spend. I spend over $800 a year on the warranty. My husband thinks it is still worth it. To me, we're not going to really spend $750 a year if anything breaks down ‘cause not everything breaks down the same year. With my dishwasher claim, it takes $75 for the technician to show me that we have to click quickly on the hot water and close the door before it goes to the cold box, which to me is a very defective thing that they build. So I pay $75 for that on top of 700 some dollars that I pay a year.

    One year, we had a washing machine that broke down. The guy came and they said we needed a washing machine. I paid $75 and they give me a $400 allowance for a washing machine. So, if I would have bought that myself without all that hassle, it would have cost me no more than that. But their workers were decent people and they came on time and did what they had to. We had some kind of hair in my stuff got in the garbage disposal. The technician just turned it with his wrench, turned it over, and flushed it. It was a five-minute job. The technician was a very nice guy. He was cordial and was exactly on time.

    Everything went well, but the quality of the faucet replacement that was provided was not that great. I wanted to either pay for an upgrade or buy my own, but they said they couldn’t do it, so I honored that. I made that request because my faucet had been replaced less than a year ago and it seemed like it didn’t hold up. I didn’t really want that same, less-quality product, but I'll see in another year. If the customer wanted to pay for a better grade, then I see no reason why that should not be permitted. But I understand the piece about buying your own. If the quality doesn’t hold up then the customer could then say, “This is poor workmanship or poor quality,” when in fact, you bought it yourself. I don’t use AHS that often and I don’t know if it’s cost-effective for me to continue renewing my membership.

It appears that I gotta pay the contracting fee first and that is when my claim goes into their queue and I am contacted by their contractor. There needs to be more of an explanation of that - either automated or AHS allowing customers to know that in order for their claim to go through they have to pay the contract fee upfront.

    GE Appliances, AHS's contractor came for my claim regarding an appliance issue. The tech assessed the situation and ordered a part. He then came back out and implemented the replacement.

    Two other people came out to look at the problem. One was the president of the company that serviced it and he apologized over and over again. Then they did right so I was satisfied with that, but it should never have happened the way it happened the first time. The first people that came out didn't get done till about 11:30 at night, which was unbelievable to begin with.

    I had Home Shield when I stayed at one house. Then when I moved to this home, they gave me a free year so once I got to, I renewed the contract. Everything that they've been doing has been fine. I had a major plumbing issue a while back and they had to go deeper into it and that's why they didn't cover it. But other than that, I haven't had any problem with them. Recently, I had an AC issue. At first, it won't come on. The techs came out and they got it working. They had to change the fan motor. Then it stopped again and had the same problem. The tech told me that what happened was somebody left a wire loose or they burnt out.

    Home Shield is worth the money if you own a home and I have been telling people that it's good. My daughter let AHS go but I encouraged her to go back and get it. One time, she had to pay out of pocket 'cause she didn't get the warranty. Then another time, she didn't have to pay out of pocket 'cause she went on and purchased it.

    Our faucet came apart and I filed a claim over the phone with an actual person. They said they’d call within 24 or 48 hours. I got an email that said that Mason’s had been assigned and that they were supposed to call within a certain period of time, which they did. The faucet was not a very new. It was leaking and running down and dripping into the lower floor of the house. We had to have a new faucet and Mason’s Plumbing fixed it. They’re very nice people and very professional. They seem to know what they’re doing.

    So far, everything that they've done when we had a problem, they've got right on it. When we had a plumbing claim, the contractor was very good. They were very polite. With everything going on, they put on protective stuff and we kept our distance and the guy looked at everything I wanted. He told me exactly what he thought was happening and explained everything. He told us what was happening wasn't something he could repair. So he was very thorough and I found him very pleasant.

    The issue I've had with AHS is I never get any response back. So, I’m about ready to cancel my service with them because I’ve talked to them. They said they’re going to forward my issues, complaints, up to their office. But I never heard anything back from them. The customer service with this company is terrible. The contractors do great work, but there are some contractors I know I can go directly to them without having to go through American Home Shield. Because they don’t give us the best contractors. Also, they charge my account before the service is complete. I would not recommend AHS anybody to them.

    The claim for the microwave went fine. The tech from Lake Area did a great job and he was very professional. The only issue that I had was with my washer. The tech said that the brackets on the tub were open or warped causing the problem and when he left, he said he was gonna order the part. I thought he was gonna order it along with the part for the refrigerator and the microwave. Then, I got a call from Home Shield saying that according to how they diagnosed it, it wasn’t covered.

    My friend has Home Shield as a home warranty company also and she seemed to have had no issues when it comes to doing things. She had a hot water heater replaced or worked on and it didn’t cost her anything. It cost me quite a bit to have mine redone. When I asked about that, the excuse I was given was that it was because of what I had done and that I got this type of hot water heater, compared to some other type of water heater. I’m kinda confused as to what is covered and what is not covered. With the washer, I would have to pay to get whatever part it is, which I didn’t even ask, or I would have to purchase a new washing machine. The rep said they could send another company out to check it but I didn’t want to risk or chance them coming out and then tell me I have the same problem. I would be out of $150.

    The contractors have been usually pretty good, although there was one time that a guy came out and he was kinda rude. We came to find out they don’t work on weekends. The rep told me they were located in Rowlett, which was kind of far from me, and I said it would’ve been nice if there could have been somebody in my area. And the rep said it’s because I went through the automated part. The next time, when I called in for the washer, microwave, and refrigerator, I talked to somebody and I specifically asked them if they're in my area and she said yes. But then, they’re still the same people. I wish there would be some kind of way where I could get somebody that’s in my area and maybe the service would be a little bit quicker when I do request service. But other than that, I have no issues with anything.

They do all the work to contract a professional to come and if something is wrong or the contractor doesn't fix it good, I just call AHS again and I ask questions like, "What's the period date?" It took the contractor about eight days to come out after I submitted the claim for my washer and my dishwasher. They told me it was because of the coronavirus. They fixed my dishwasher but about two days later, it did the same thing. I had to call AHS and they made another appointment with the same contractor.

    My dishwasher was not draining and the tech came out. He pulled a little cap off on the sink and he said there was food clogged in there. It worked for a few days and then it got clogged up again. I tried calling him but there was no answer, so I had to call American Home Shield again. This went on for four or five days that nobody could get him to answer the phone. Then I told them that I wanted somebody else. The first company was not reliable. They didn’t know what they were doing. The tech did the quickest thing and then ran out the door. American Home Shield then got me Savvytech. They ended up coming out yesterday and repaired it. The dispenser is working properly since.

    My experience hasn’t been wonderful with American Home Shield. I had to call them on an icemaker and a dishwasher. The icemaker took four trips to fix and the dishwasher was two. I’m kind of suspect about the people that they send out. So far, nothing that I’ve submitted a claim for has been fixed the first time. So I’m frustrated about that. It does end up getting fixed, but you have to fight and argue about it. They don’t wanna send a second person out because then they have to pay that person when they’ve already paid the first technician that came out.

    The people that they contract with are not high quality companies that stand behind their work by any means. I talked to a lady at American Home Shield and she said that if they get enough return calls on someone or if they have to come out to your house more than once, then they don’t use them anymore. I told her this was the second time this has happened to me. They need to improve on their hiring process.

    My washer and my dryer were malfunctioning. It was easy to submit the claim and American Home Shield was very accommodating. My dryer gave me problems first so I called Universal 1 and made the appointment for it, which was no problem. In the meantime, I was walking by my washing machine and I noticed it was sounding differently and it wasn’t washing proper. So I called the contractor back and told them my washer was acting up too and asked if they could do both things. They said yes and didn’t charge me extra. So the one visit was my $100 deductible for both. They just added both incidents to the one ticket.

    Everything was good. American Home Shield called me and Universal 1, and then they sent me a text stating the person that would be out, and before he came, he sent a text saying that he was on his way. Their service was on time, and they were courteous. They did what they said they were gonna do. They replaced my washing machine because they couldn’t have a part to repair. They let me select through the website a washing machine. If I wanted to upgrade it, it would cost me more, but I kept within the specs that my washing machine had to what they were offering. So there was no charge. Everything worked out really well for me.

    Having the warranty is great. I’ve had different warranties on my appliances and the amount that I’m paying with American Home Shield is roughly about the same. However, the service is a little different. Also, it added some different things like my ceiling fans and smoke detectors. It was more than what I’m getting with having warranty on each appliance separately. I have a group coverage this way.

    So far, American Home Shield has replaced a microwave and a dishwasher. They've had to do some work on the air conditioner as well. My only complaint with the air conditioning was that we had to pay quite a bit for the Freon in it, although that was in the contract. I just didn’t realize how much Freon was. But the two installers we've had were from the same company and they did a real good job on the microwave. It wasn’t just a microwave. It was a microwave convection oven and we were pretty well-pleased.

    On our first year, we only paid 250 for the warranty. When we sold the first house, getting American Home Shield was originally part of the deal and the seller paid half of it. When we moved into a new house, we wanted to make sure we won’t have any problems with appliances. For the second year, we had to pay 700. That was kind of a surprise that it was that much more but we decided to do it anyway and we’re actually okay on it. The warranty expires in July and I’m planning on signing up with them.

    I got a recommendation for American Home Shield. The service at the time was good. So far, I've been with the company for over 10 years. I call them when I need service like when my air conditioner was not cooling. The contractor they assigned to my claim did an excellent job, considering the environment we’re currently involved in. He showed up and I told him what was wrong. He came into the house, checked the attic unit, checked the inside units then he went outside and quickly located what the issue was. He told me what was needed and promptly repaired the problem. In no more than 30 minutes, he was on his way.

    Everything was working fine. The condenser capacitor on the unit burnt out and this was replaced. As soon as this was done, the air conditioner started to cool. It went for like six days then all of a sudden, it was not cooling again. I called the tech directly because he told me to call him. The tech came back out and said that one of my valves had broken. Apparently, I lost all my Freon. I paid him for the Freon because I know that a portion of it isn’t covered by my American Home warranty. It’s $10 a pound that they cover. I had to pay $500 worth of Freon to put in my machine. I don't know if that’s good or bad, or right or wrong.

    Draingo came out to switch out my water heater. It went out on a Monday. They showed up on a Thursday. And this is the second time. Last year, our air conditioner went out in the middle of the summer, and we had to wait almost a week for someone to come out. And then, it was another 10 days before they fixed it. And this time, it was another week before they fixed our hot water heater, so we had to take cold baths and showers.

    For the air conditioning, they were having to wait on approval from American Home Shield for at least half of that time period. And then, American Home Shield would not allow them to order the part, so they had to wait for the approval, and then, they had to order the part. For the hot water heater, we had to wait on approval. They called me at 8 o’clock one night and said that there were gonna be overages of about $400 for the retrofitting of the hot water heater. And I approved that. And they told me that they would be ordering the part. So, I waited. Three days later, I called Draingo because I hadn’t heard from them. They did not receive the approval from American Home Shield. But once I called them, they were out the same day. I had been an American Home Shield customer since 2010 and it’s more expensive to get a technician out, but it’s taking longer to get things fixed. And that’s not a good thing.

    I’m currently looking for another type of home warranty system. I paid consistently every single month. I’ve done exactly what they all expected me to do. It’s just that when I ask for something to be fixed or there's an issue, there is absolutely no sense of urgency. And maybe that has to do with the limited number of contractors that work with American Home Shield, so they don't have a full roster of people that they can get out here.

    I live right outside of Memphis, Tennessee. So, there has to be more contractors available to have contracts with American Home Shield, so that when people have serious issues like air conditioning in the summertime, or even the furnace and the heater in the wintertime, water heaters, we should be able to get someone out here as quickly as possible, within the same day.

    Because the water heater exploded. I called my homeowners’ insurance, and I had someone out from my homeowner's insurance who’s all the way in Pennsylvania somewhere, they were able to contact somebody to get them out here the same exact day that my water heater exploded. But they were out here looking at the water damage, but they couldn’t really do anything until the water heater was gone. So, that delayed everything in the process because the water heater was still up there, still leaking, they didn’t wanna do anything until that was out of here. So, it delayed the whole process. And now, I’m caught up in this whole matrix of my bathroom sheetrock, everything is exposed because the company that I was gonna use now has had someone else because there was a delay. It’s a domino effect. So, AHS needs to contract more people. That would be the easiest thing to do.

    Over the years, we’ve used the service of AHS and it’s gotten progressively worse. When we first got it in 2010, the garage door was broken and they were out here quickly. Toilet was broken, out here quickly. Garbage disposal, out here quickly. But, over the years, it’s gotten progressively slower in getting a response from them. But, now once we get a response, the contractors that they sent out here had been good contractors.

They shut my water off and I called American Home Shield right then and there on a Saturday or Sunday. They answered and they immediately contacted their contractor, Leak Seekers. That contractor was out at my place the next day and got the issue fixed. I've been with AHS for four and a half years now and this was the second time we had to use their warranty.

    Air Design AC & Heating, American Home Shield's contractor came to service my recent claim. When they came out the first time, their tech said that he cleaned the pipe and flushed it. I didn't turn on my system again at the time 'cause I didn't need it. When I turned it on, I woke up the next morning and my sensor shut my system off 'cause it was wet where it was again. Air Design AC had to come back out because it was still leaking. They sent somebody else out and that guy thinks he fixed my system. Right now it's the coldest it has been over the last month. I like Air Design AC as they seem to know what they're doing. They're better than some other contractors I've had before.

    I've had other companies for maintenance and appliances and a lot of people can't work on heat pumps. That tech who came has actually worked in my building before. So far, I've been happy with AHS's service. I had my microwave and dishwasher replaced through them this past fall. Their tech told me that he could probably fix my dishwasher but I told him that I didn't want it fixed as it already has mold in it. I'm deathly allergic so I had to get rid of it before I got sick again. I upgraded my units to stainless when they replaced them and they had it delivered in less than two days. They came out really fast. I couldn't believe it. I have since signed up my mother who is 90, with AHS. She just replaced her air or heat system this past winter. I've also told my sister that she needs to get American Home Shield's warranty but she didn't do it. An issue cost her $7,000 while she is on a fixed income so that was not very smart.

    We got transferred to American Home Shield when we bought the condo a year ago and every time I've called, it has been exceptional service. The people they use have been exceptional too. They’re friendly, clean and professional. I wouldn't go with anyone else. Plus, the contractors respond within 24 hours. We thought we were gonna have to have the stove hood light replaced because it looked like there was a hole in there where there should've been a thing for a bulb. We found out that some are made that way and there was nothing missing. All it needed was a new lightbulb on the right-hand side so, I paid $75 to get a lightbulb changed. But that's okay. We're selling the condo and it was on the repairs list, so I needed someone to come out to verify. We changed the lightbulb and it's working. Everything's fine and I could show that we had that done.

    We wanted everything covered because we knew we were selling the condo and we knew there were gonna be repairs that had to be done. AHS has always kept right up to the back.

    My plumbing claim finally went all right but Drain Masters had to come out four times before they got me fixed. The tech seemed like a really nice person though. He had gloves and a mask on. I felt that he was being safe because my husband and I are both seniors and with health issues. So he was very careful about that. But every time he left here, he thought he had it fixed and yet every time I turned around, it was like I had water under my kitchen sink. It might not have bothered me as badly but with the situation in the world right now, my nerves are just not the greatest thing in the world.

    One time, he hadn’t even gotten out of our neighborhood before it started leaking again. I called their office and they contacted him. They told him to turn around and get back. It seemed like the repair took too many times. My nerves kinda wore out before they finally got it fixed. Twice I can live with but with four times, my nerves were shot. However, I am not a plumber and I know nothing about plumbing. Maybe it was just one of those things that took a while. That aside, my husband and I are very satisfied with American Home Shield.

    Amtec Services came out for our appliance issue. I requested that the service person wear gloves and mouthpiece. Because of the virus, I asked that he come prepared. He got the job done quickly, professionally, and he put his shoes off before he came in the house. It worked out well. My only big concern was that seven months ago AHS increased my monthly invoice without letting me know. I also don’t like the $100 deductible all the time. I don’t know if every job is worth that amount. I call myself a handyman but when there are things I don’t know about, I’m quick to call for help so the $100 is a bit steep for me every time I call.

    I got a couple of more things around the house that need to be worked on and I’m a little hesitant about having a $100 taken out every time. Like, if I had three things that need to be fixed and they’re different ones, that’s $300. For a lot of people now that are aging, that's a lot of money. They’re also taking out almost $55 a month for two years. So, I got $300 and then the other $55. Right now, I know of one thing that I’ve been putting off because I have to prioritize which $100 I’m gonna pay. Hopefully, there won’t be another one that comes up because I’m on a real tight budget now. Other than that, it’s nice to have a warranty when stuff tears up around this house because I have an older house.

Other than that, I like having the coverage for my pool and home equipment.

    When a part of an old equipment cracked and broke, the options that AHS had online was insufficient for me to put in the claim. I had to call them and let them know exactly what was broken. I’ve seen that, sometimes, if the thing that I put in was not correct, they'd say that it was not covered. And sometimes, I’m even deducted for putting in something.

    All Clear Plumbing was the second company to come out for the water heater issue. They actually fixed the issue and we have no problems at all now. We have hot water. In fact, we’ve used that company before and that’s why I requested them again. I really appreciate the ability to do that. Being able to request someone who has already come out and kinda knows your property is really convenient. Every interaction I've had with American Home Shield has also been good so far and the cost for the service is reasonable.

    Air Link Mechanical came out for an AC issue. They handled it fine and they replaced the air conditioner. However, I was displeased with the whole American Home Shield coverage and how much it was gonna cost us that we had already been paying for it for two and a half years. I felt that more of it should have been covered and since we ended up upgrading it anyway. I did not realize that they only pay $600 of coolant, which was gonna end up costing us another $600, on top of the $100 service call. So, they were wanting to replace the compressor, which is fine except that next year if another component broke, because the unit is 15 years old, it would be another $100 for the service call. And if the refrigerant needed to be replaced again, it would have been another $600 for replacing the refrigerant. I felt that it wasn't worth it for the air conditioning.

    I was just not very pleased with the amount of money that was being offered to replace it. But they were very prompt in getting somebody out here and looking at it. The girl that I dealt with on the phone to handle the call was fine too. And they were good because I was in one location and the residence was in another state. They were very responsive in that way too. And Air Link was exceptional as well. They have rated very high marks from me because we had replaced the air conditioner altogether.

    American Home Shield took care of me. They sent out Clutch Appliance Repair to work on my microwave because it kept tripping the breaker. The first guy they sent out was inexperienced or was young and he didn’t diagnose the problem properly. But it wasn’t totally his fault because the thing was tripping out but when he got here, it worked perfectly. There really wasn’t anything for him to diagnose. A couple of days later, the microwave finally went out for good and it wouldn’t reset. The fuse blew in. It wasn’t the breaker. I had to have Clutch send someone else out. A second guy came and he knew what the problem was and had to order the parts. A third different guy then came out and fixed the microwave. All of them were nice and courteous. They were professional too. I'm happy with Clutch.

    I have had several appointments and claims are always a problem. We property manage and American Home Shield, as all the rest of the companies because I’ve switched companies, use appliance repair techs or companies that are totally overloaded. I got a call this morning to repair an issue. It was the second time I’ve had to call and they were trying to schedule with a company that was fully booked. At first, they could get me in for next week then I questioned them and they said they could get me in between noon and 5:00 on Friday. From a service standpoint, if American Home Shield doesn't have more than one or two technician companies that can service, then they need more. People can’t live without an oven or a microwave, or maybe even a refrigerator for a week.

    One of the calls on one of our properties was a refrigerator. It wasn’t cooling and then I was given a 10-day out appointment. That was ridiculous and you're locked-in to who they tell you you’re going to use. I talked to American Home Shield about the ref and they’re at times rude. I told them it didn't make sense and they told me that if I didn't like it, I could go to another warranty company. The experience is not good. The other day, when I was pushing number five on my microwave and I could hear it short out, it made me think. Did they put in a reconditioned touchpad when they replaced it in January? Is that why it shorted out or is there another problem that they didn’t address because they were only focused on that one little issue?

    They’re coming out on Friday to fix this again and they don’t carry parts in their truck. Therefore, I have to wait. I usually ask them to give me a 30-minute window to call so I’m there, but I have to wait. I then have to wait again for another four days for them to order the part, and they have to call me up and say they can schedule to come out five days later. It takes freaking forever to get anything done. It’s all done on volume. I called about a plumbing issue and the guy came and looked at it. He said it was going to take longer than he thought, and he had 14 other appointments that day. He said he was going to have to come back the following week.

    Are you kidding me? He's going to come back the following week for a plumbing stoppage and there’s sewage coming up in the shower. It’s not just American Home Shield though. Fidelity Home Warranty and all of them are the same way. I’m in real estate and I’ve used them all. They all use the same type of repair people. In some cases, the technicians were rude as well and they’re running off of a guideline sheet of what they can and can’t do. Also, almost every single one that I’ve had in the last two years has been Eastern European and they speak very broken English.

    American Home Shield was a company that treats you the right way. I've had an issue with the washer, the dryer, garbage disposal. American Home Shield has been pretty good about getting somebody out there pretty quickly. Refrigerators have so many computer parts. The refrigerator that went out took a little bit longer but once it got up and running, we were great. Beyer Appliance had to order a new piece and it came in within a couple of days. It was repaired in less than four or five days. He came out on a Thursday and he was back out on a Tuesday. I was pretty satisfied with the timeframe. It was just the ice maker, so it was certainly livable. I would have been a little concerned if the entire refrigerator was down.

    JT Ultimate Pools came for the lift pump, for the cleaner. It tripped the breakers and was cutting off all the pool equipment. It was turned on from the inside. I finally went out there to see what was going on with it, and my son turned it on and sparks flew out of it. The technician couldn't have been better. He had a lift pump on his truck and did the repair right then. American Home Shield has been real good this time. The only problem I've ever had with them was when my pool heater went out. It took them about almost 10 months to fix it because they kept saying they couldn't find a heater for it. I was quite upset with them. But they ended up putting one in. I had a Hayward pool heater, a great big one, and they put one in that was about half the size.

    I’ve had AHS for at least 17 years ever since I’ve lived here. They do a good job as far as getting people out here. I understand when I called them Friday or Saturday that they're not gonna get anybody ‘til Monday and they’ve been good about going that. But this recent claim has just got me confused. I first called it in on the 20th. AHS told me $75 for the toilet and the Whirlpool and they gave me my confirmation number. One came out for the commodes and then another one came out for the bathtub. Everything went fine until I got the bill for $75, which I’ve only paid once. I talked to two different people at AHS. One was Lilian in Tennessee and she said that she wrote it up and it showed all that was included. I then talked to Beverly a couple of days later and she sent for a concession. She said I didn't have to pay, but it might take five or seven days to get that information out.

    This is the first time that this has happened and I don't know if they’ve taken care of the billing or not. Normally, when the first people came out, they automatically billed it the first time. You don't hear any more about it. But I’ve been getting emails that I am past due. If I am, they should get it on the credit card. That’s what they're supposed to do with it. The ability to talk to a person rather than go through the automation thing would be my only recommendation for change. Then, our commode stopped up. We called somebody that we used before ‘cause we needed to get it done that day. They came out and didn't charge us.

    I started the service with American Home Shield in 2019 at the recommendation of someone else. We were looking for this kind of protection for our home and this person had it. When my washer wasn’t spinning at all, I simply made a phone call to AHS for servicing and I was given the name of the contractor by whoever I spoke to at that time. That person was very supportive and they followed-through with what they said was going to happen. They gave me an expected time frame for them to contact me by phone, and then that phone call with whoever the service company was going to be would tell me when they could actually come to address my issue.

    The contractor was sent in a day and it was excellent dealing with them. The initial call that I made involved the washer and the technician did everything that he was supposed to do. Then, it stopped working. He returned and did whatever he needed to address to repair the issue. We haven’t had any problems since then. It’s been like a new washer and it’s performing very well.

    I’m a military guy, so we moved a lot. The very first house that I bought had a one-year warranty through American Home Shield as part of the agreement. I started using them and I have been using them ever since 2005. We kept the houses that we moved in to and I have had numerous rental properties. Last year, I tried another company. They were a little cheaper and I tried them for a couple of months while my American Home Shield contract was expiring. I wasn’t going to renew it, but I immediately had a bad experience with the other company. I couldn’t have been more disappointed when I tried to use them for the very first claim. It was something very simple too. Everything they said they do, they didn’t. Also, I couldn’t get anybody to answer the phone, call me back or respond to an email.

    The contractor that they finally sent out broke something as well. He told us he did it but he wouldn’t tell them he did it. It was a disaster. Now, I’m happy with what I have and I'm going to keep it. I had a pool pump that would not turn on and I did a claim online. Since I have been with American Home Shield a long time, I have seen that website being plunky and challenging, but now, it’s very easy to use. You log in, request, submit, and it's done. I knew what I was doing and it took me just a couple of minutes. Normally, my expectation is to hear at least from the contractor within a day and them be out within the next day after that.

    I have used a lot of contractors like everybody else and Hometown Pools & Spas was the best one. They called right away, told me when they're gonna be here and two days after the claim was submitted, they were here five minutes early. They told me what the problem was and said they were gonna order a part and that they would be back no later than a certain time. They were back exactly when they said they were gonna be back. They also had all the tools and all the equipment. They got the job done and they were out the door. They were super friendly too. It was truly one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor.
