    AHS responds very quickly especially when I report something online. Usually by the next day, I would get a repair person out. I've been with them for almost three years and I've had a decent experience thus far. I've used their warranty a couple of times on an air conditioning unit and once on a forced air furnace.

    I've used AHS a couple of times before, and they're always on top of things and take care of whatever problem I might have. I file my claims over the phone. I want to make sure that I get the right vendor. I don't know why they use somebody overseas. I've had problems in the past where I've had to ask them to transfer me back to the States.

    I've used AHS quite a bit since I've had the program, and it's been fantastic. However I ended up paying a couple of hundred out-of-pocket, plus the $100 deductible when they took care of the water heater. There was a coverage limitation. Recently the microwave panel went out so Garrett’s came out and replaced it. Everything went great.

    When my washer went out, it was not fixable, so we had to get another washer. AHS set the appointment. I was on the contractor's time on how long it would take them to look at it, which was about a week. Then it was also a week to get the washing machine, which was kind of inconvenient. The delivery company that AHS used told me the delivery would be on a Monday and I waited around all day, but they never showed up.

    The first one AHS sent was Sears. The schedule was from 8:00 to 12:00, but at 11:15, I got a message saying that they were not coming, which I wasn’t really happy about. I then got on the phone and called AHS. They found Buckley who came out within two hours. He was pretty good. About five months ago, we also had a water heater fixed. It was late, but it was just a matter of waiting. For me, it was not a big deal.

    When we were having an issue with our dishwasher, it had an error message that said one of the drains was clogged. I tried to work on it myself and I couldn’t find any clog so I decided to call it in. Submitting the claim was relatively quick and simple. They can improve the cost of the service calls though. I'd tell others to shop around and make sure that you’re getting the best deal.

    The first person Sears sent out was nice and very professional, but he was a chatty patty and misdiagnosed my icebox. I’ve had Sears come out for my other appliances and I’ve never had a problem before. I asked to have somebody else come out and had to wait an additional week. That contractor was fine though. Then on my dryer or my washer, I was charged a little bit more compared to the last couple of times I’ve had AHS come out and I’m not sure why. It was at a 100 like it used to be.

    When the homeowners sold the house to us, American Home Shield was something that was given to us as the warranty for it. We've had it for five months now and they've really stepped up. When I made a reqest for my AC, they jumped out on the it, got things done, and got people over here. However, the people have been fiddling around and not getting it done. They have a get-out-the-door type of attitude and just hurry up. They weren't very judicious in their investigating as to what the problem was in the first place.

    When Economy Air Conditioning & Heating first came, the unit wouldn't turn on and it wasn't running at all. They put a little Freon in and it ran then they went away. A few days later, it wouldn't run again, so they came out again and put some more Freon in it. It ran for a little bit then it wouldn't run again. They came back the third time and filled it up with Freon. It ran twice then it wouldn't run again. This time I called, and they came out for the fourth time and decided that the unit is no good and it was going to have to be replaced because it was leaking all the Freon out. I'm adroit when it comes to mechanical things and it looked to me that the problem was that the unit itself had leaked the Freon out. That's what I told the contractor the first time he came but he thought it was something else.

    They just kept on patching, patching and patching until he gave up. It's getting summertime here and I sure would like to have some air conditioning. The warranty outfit has been good, but the unit that's out there is a nice, top-of-the-line unit. It's for a big house, so I want to make sure they replace it with the same unit out there that's comparable or at least the same manufacturer.

    We had another warranty service and we were very dissatisfied with it for many reasons. We switched to American Home a few months ago and we have it on our rental property as well as our personal home that we live in. With our claim, the tenants contacted me and said that the air conditioning wasn't cooling. We called somebody and said we needed a fix.

    I had an issue with the water heater and I submitted a claim with AHS. The process was easy and the next day, In Control Plumbing came out. But it took long to do the installation of the replacement water heater because they didn’t know that the equipment was already in the warehouse. And I had to call them to let them know. Aside from that, I don't like that we have to pay AHS $100 for every single thing. For example, if I have two issues in my household and I call for these two issues, they'd tell me they are two different things, so I have to have two claims and they'd charge me $200.

    I also don’t like the fact that they don't cover some costs for the job and I wasn’t aware about that. For my recent water heater claim, I had to pay $380 to make the electricity and pipes up to code, plus the $100 for the call. That was very expensive and I thought that they would remove the $100 for me, for my expenses, but they didn't do that. So, I spent $480 and it was way more than the price of the water heater. And if I bought one myself, I would pay somebody $150 to come and install it for me. But this was my third call for my water heater because it was really old, so it was okay.

    The only inconvenience was that I spent four days without hot water because when the guy from In Control Plumbing came, for some reason, he touched something and the water stopped coming from my house. But when he came in, I had water. I had to call the Orange County to come and they said they didn't see anything that was wrong in their system, so it should be something inside the house. But I didn't know what he touched. I had to hire another person and paid $150 more so that he could come and let me get water to my house because normally, I'd spend two days without water. And when I got that person, it was six days that we had no water in the house.

    So, it was very hard having no water in my house and I was not satisfied with In Control Plumbing because he kept telling me that maybe we touched something. But I don't know anything about plumbing. My son is a person in the medical field and he doesn't know anything about plumbing. After we found out we had no water, I called him and he was arguing with me, saying that he didn’t touch anything. He then told me to go to their site, to see if we could open the other entrance of the water. But we didn't even know how to do that because we never knew that there was a second entrance of water in the house.

    Also, nobody came to my house to touch anything and he was the only plumber that touched anything in my house. He also said that he could not come to check it out. So after two days, even though at the time it was difficult to find somebody, I got somebody who came. And it was not a plumbing guy. It was the handyman. He checked and did whatever he could so that water could come into my house. Otherwise, I would stay six days without water.

    And the guy who came had to go to where the guy from In Control Plumbing said that the water could come into the house. He doesn't do plumbing and he didn't want to touch anything. But I forced him to do something for me, just to change the valve because the valve was stuck. He didn't know how to unstuck it and it was very hard. He used his tools and put another thing temporary just to let water come into my house. But the thing is still leaking until now and so far, I haven't gotten any plumber to come do anything about that. And when the guy from In Control Plumbing came back to change the water heater for me, I asked if he could fix it for me and he told me I had to pay $175 for him to do that. Other than that, I'm happy with American Home Shield because at the time that I needed the service, I had somebody to come fix the water heater for me.

    Alfa Appliances came out for our recent claim and they were very good. They explained everything to me and took their time, just very excellent customer service. I've been with AHS for about two years now. Some companies are good, and some are not. This one is really good and I like them. However, sometimes with AHS reps, when I'm talking to them, they're annoyed. I don't know if they're just having a bad day. Customer service is big with me because I'm a nurse.

    We just bought the house on February 28 and that was when we took over the policy. This was our first claim and the process was very easy and straightforward. Weatherwise did a really nice job when they came out. They were very prompt and professional. We had noticed that, intermittently, we're still hearing the sound that we heard before, a high-pitched vibration in the unit. We were thinking about calling them again and having them come back out. But because it’s intermittent, there would be a chance that the tech would get here and it wouldn’t be doing what we noticed. I hope the ticket is still open.

    When my high-tech KitchenAid refrigerator wasn't producing any ice, the first few people that came out here, it was almost like it was about their pay grade rather than knowing how to fix the thing. The first company that came out here was about three people, and they never came back. Then AHS sent another guy out and he showed up about three times, but he couldn't figure out what the issue was. Then these people came out, ordered small parts, came back, and put it in. Then the refrigerator started making ice. We were with Sears the previous year and had the same problem with them. We live in Lake Placid, which is a small little town. Sometimes, we would set an appointment and no one would be available so we just keep plugging away. Then this guy that came out got it working and we've been happy. I'm pretty satisfied with the experience.

    ATR General Services couldn’t come until the next day, but they came when they said they were gonna come. They fixed the heaters. It’s back on now. Their guy was knowledgeable at what he was doing. Also, he was saying that the furnace needs to be replaced. I'm wondering if that is something that AHS will do so I’m trying to get online to find a copy of my contract. When I try to log in to my online account, I keep putting in all my email accounts and they say they’ll send the reset to the email that I normally log in with, and I’m putting in all my emails and I’m not getting anything. I called and asked them to direct me to a tech department and they said they didn't have a tech person. So now, I’m thinking I’m just gonna start all over again and get a new account.

    In the years I’ve been with American Home Shield, their price has only gone up by $5. I can deal with that. I haven’t had to pay anything in addition to that. They’ve taken care of everything. It is definitely worth having because things happen. I’ve had to work on my washer, dryer and electricity and I know before we've had AHS, that stuff can cost us.

    Sparks Plumbing & Heating was wonderful. The guy came out and he knew exactly what was wrong. He then told me that he thought they had a water heater in their warehouse and he would go check it, call American Home Shield and talk to them. He did that and about an hour and a half later, he came back with the water heater, took the old one out, put the new one in, and got everything going.

    We bought this house a little over a year ago, and the appliances were as old as the house, 13 years. When we sold our house in California, we had to buy the new owners a warranty policy to cover any appliances or anything else. My friends have had insurance and my son was with American Home Shield.

    There were several issues with our dishwasher. We had what we thought was a leak and we had Mr. Appliance of Plano out initially for that. The tech thought he fixed the leak and he did that, but it was still leaking. He came back and replaced all of the tubing and all of the stuff in there. So, we were good to go, everything was working. And then two days later, we had another problem where the water wasn't draining out. We didn't have a leak anymore, but now the water was being retained at the bottom of the dishwasher. So, the tech came out and I liked it. He diagnosed the problem and that was fine as well.

    Mr. Appliance is very good. They are professional, timely, and that's why I've always asked for them if I could. Because several months ago, we had another appliance company come out and I never saw or talked to him. I missed him. And then, they never called back. It took about a week or two of Home Shield calling them but they never responded. So I said, "Could you please maybe direct it to Mr. Appliance? They're already on your roster of people you use. They've been really good."

    Then, about two days after that, we had another problem where the spring to the door broke. It's a very heavy door so when you would open it, it would fall and hit you on the knees. I put in another claim because I felt it was different. It wasn't related to what had been done. The spring had broken. This is an older dishwasher, so that's to be expected. Mr. Appliance came out and replaced that.

    We have two AC units, and I thought that the policy I had at that time would cover the one unit whose motor burned out. American Home Shield said, "No, your policy does not cover that." So we ended up having to pay for a new unit. Then I went back to them and I said, "Well look, it says -- and I figure if I've got a policy, then I don't have to do anything." The rep said, "Well, no. The nature of your policy was that you should have been washing it every other month, rinsing out the grains and stuff."

    I said, "Well, I thought since I have a policy, I don't have to do that." And she said, "Well, this policy, you do." And so, I said, "Oh, okay. So that means there's a policy where I don't have to, right?" She said yes. I said, "Well, how much more is that policy than what I'm paying right now?" And it was something ridiculous. It was about 10 bucks. "Okay. Well, switch me over to that." Since then, that's what it is, and that's what I tell people because pretty much everyone I talked to has had a bad experience with American Home Shield and they no longer use them. I can understand where they're coming from.

    So far, to me, it has been a function of making sure you have the good policy and following through. The initial dealings with their support as far as scheduling and if there's issue with the scheduling and problems like that, that is outsourced. So, for a lot of these poor people, English is their second language, so it can be frustrating to deal with them. It can be frustrating to get them on the phone, to begin with. But once that's generally all squared away, it has worked out well for us.

    Make sure that you got a policy that covers all the stuff that you want and be prepared that there is going be some time when you would have to wait. We've had appliances replaced and that is a process you have to go through. For example, we had our washing replaced and that was a situation where usually it would take Home Shield at least a couple of weeks for them to replace that and if you go with one of their recommended choices. Now, in our situation, my wife just bought what she wanted, and then they gave us money towards that so we got a very nice washing machine for only about 200 bucks out of our pocket.

    A couple of weekends ago, the weather was kinda high in the low 80s. We turned our air conditioner on and it wasn’t getting cool. I figured it was broken or something needed to be fixed on it. I went ahead and put in a claim with Home Shield to get someone to come out, look at it, and make sure that all was well with it. I called and the rep was very helpful and knowledgeable. She worked around the times that I could be available since I was working from home and had meetings scheduled. The scheduling was very flexible. She mentioned that I would receive a text message or an email with the information of the company that was assigned to it.

    After the call, I received both a text message and an email. I waited a couple of hours and didn’t hear from the company. I called but didn’t get a response. Then, I texted and then the guy ended up calling back and confirming the appointment. I called on a Monday and the contractor was out that Thursday. The tech from Interior Weather was excellent. Once we confirmed the appointment, he arrived at the location, called to make sure he was at the correct location, and informed me that he would not be entering the home at any time. The AC unit was on the outside, so he didn’t have to.

    When he came to the door, he had on his gloves and his mask. He stood the appropriate distance away and explained what he would be doing. He answered all of my questions about what he would be doing and the follow-up behind it. He said the unit was low on Freon and he filled that up. After the service, he came back. He informed me what he had done and answered the questions that I had about how long the Freon should last and how often it should be replaced. Also, he informed me that his service was under warranty and the charges that would be assessed.

    We made the payment transaction and that was it. He said to feel free to give him a return call if there were any issues or if we didn’t feel like the air is as cool as it should be. He would come back out and reassess it. The unit has been perfect since and I was very satisfied. I was recommended by a friend to get American Home Shield and this was my first time processing a claim. Everything was fixed pretty quickly so I was very impressed.

    Recently, we had a breaker that needed to be replaced so we submitted a claim to AHS for it. The entire experience was two days, from the time we called American Home Shield to the time the contractors came out. It was pretty quick. We've had AHS going on a year and that was the second time we've used them. We called them once before, July of last year, with an AC issue. The contractor came out and took care of the issue. So, our overall experience has been pretty good with AHS.

    However, part of the AC service that they provide does not include maintenance. And for instance, the coils needed to be removed and cleaned, which is something that I don’t think I can do, and it's something that’s not covered under the warranty, so we have to call someone else out to do it. So, it's misleading that you have an AC service that does not provide that service. But AHS is a value to have because of the couple of issues that we had was definitely worth the amount of money that we paid monthly to cover those services that were provided.

    The air conditioner quit performing. I did an online claim to American Home Shield. Their website was okay. You can go on there and click something on there. Home Shield had said they would get in contact with the contractor, and Trinity Heating and Air Conditioning contacted me. Their service and quality of work were good. The AC has been working, so that’s good.

    Home Shield needs to review the contractors they have doing the work for them. Some of their contractors are not responsive as some other contractors are. Some of them call and tell me they're gonna have something done, and then they don’t do it. Since I’ve been down here in the Alabama area, that’s happened because we don’t have contractors near my hometown so they have to come from another town. And sometimes I feel like they don’t think it’s worth their while to come here when they could do it locally and not have to drive a good distance to come do it. It may take a long time to get them dispatched. They may be coming from about 60 miles away, which is probably not good, but that’s what Home Shield does.

Buckner plumbing company came for the ruptured sewage line, and C&R Plumbing & Air Conditioning came out for the air condition and they’re the ones who found the sewage line break.

We were disappointed he had to make two trips, but that’s the way it goes. But as far as his response time and the time that he was here, he did a great job. He couldn't have done any better.

But otherwise, the process has always been good. Everything else has been good. With the air conditioning and everything else, they work fine. But when I had a well issue, I had to hire somebody and pay for it because it has been out twice. I was totally without water and it took Home Shield a week to even come back and tell me they didn't have anybody. That was very disappointing.

    We were in our condo and it was hard to come up with a whole lot of money when you have something go wrong.

I’m very happy with American Home Shield. I even have them for my daughter in Florida and I live in Arizona. So, we're paying on three different houses. I tell people about it all the time.

    It’s always very easy to submit a claim to American Home Shield. I usually do it online, and then if I need to talk to them, I call them. They’ll give a time period such as between 1:00 and 5:00 or 8:00 and 1:00 as to when to expect the contractor. Then, it gets even narrower when they call. So, I always know when they're coming. Fleshers Refrigeration did a very good service.

They got whatever they needed to do done and the plumber came back the next day. He fixed the leak and we've had no problems since. I've had American Home Shield for 18 years and I call them when I put a claim in. Somebody calls me back from the company that they're sending out and we make an appointment. Then they come and it's all good. In all the years that I've had American Home Shield and the times that I've had contractors come out, there wasn’t any fault on Home Shield’s part. American Home Shield selects who they're gonna send, give you the name and the number and tell you that the person will call within 24 hours to set up an appointment, and that is all fine.

    We did run into some confusion with some of the providers but it was not actually anybody’s fault. Some of the places that have been called don’t work on manufactured homes. I had a claim with an air conditioning unit a couple of years ago and my air conditioner is no different than anybody else’s air conditioner. We have a ranch house that’s on the ground too. There are no ladders and there is no climbing required. But the guy they sent out took one look, said they do not work on manufactured homes and left. So I called American Shield back and they did manage to provide me with a company that does work on manufactured homes. I guess in order to work on manufactured homes, vendors have to carry an additional business license.

    Otherwise, American Home Shield has done a spectacular job for me. Our air conditioner is getting old and everything breaks. Then since 2017, we've been battling lung cancer with my husband and we want to have him in an environment that’s stable as far as temperature goes. Radical ups and downs creates problems for him.

    The first technician sent out by American Home Shield said that the dishwasher wasn't broken. Well, blind Freddy could see that the dishwasher was broken. So AHS called and said that they'd send someone else out at their expense and it was from Sears. He said that it was bent on the left side but he didn't seem like he was terribly interested. Then AHS sent another plumber who said that the dishwasher was a mess. The side is bent and a part was broken. He said that he'd get about $1,000 worth of parts for it. It has been very frustrating. So he left. A couple of days later, I ran the dishwasher and water started gushing out of the bottom. That was when I called AHS back and they sent All Tech again. I didn't want them to come because of the first one who was rude as well, but this last one did fine.

    The guy couldn't get the dishwasher out. He had to cut my brand new tile in the kitchen. I got the building engineer up here. And he and one of the workman got the dishwasher out and determined the new one would fit. So All Tech came in yesterday and installed it and then came back today and picked up the old one. It's taken over two weeks and four people traipsing in and out. I also had to wash my own dishes which was a terrible thing. It was not a good experience.

    The attitude of their contractors should change. I know that they have a list of people they have to see. But they should show more interest in the person they're dealing with and not worrying about getting to the next place or getting home or just getting out. A smile would help too.

I could’ve called the service workers or electricians myself, but the people from the company that they recommended, they’ve all done a nice job.

    When I tried to do the last claim, I couldn't find a way to download a mobile app, so I went online. I had an answer within five options from the little drop-down menu. They automatically texted me back that said they received my claim. They also sent an email that said I'll be getting a response shortly from a local business to contact me. I did that on a Saturday then I was contacted by the business at 0900 Monday.

    American Home Shield was absolutely great. We called in our first claim as we weren't sure why our air conditioner wasn't working. That process wasn't hard for us. It took about two days and someone from A-US Air Conditioning of Texas came out to get everything fixed. It was just a simple flick of the switch and it only took him about five minutes. We also have a friend who also uses AHS and we’ve gotten nothing but good reviews from her.

    Everything went great with my water heater claim. Lubbock A-1 Plumbing came in and did what they needed to do. After not having hot water for a day or so, it was awesome that they fixed it. The water heater issue has been something that has happened three or four times where it doesn't heat. AHS is addressing one issue so we've had to do three or four different claims and it's $70 every time. They should be able to take care of something as a whole rather than one little thing at a time.

    I’ve had Double D out here for the furnace four times. When I submitted a claim, I had to call American Home Shield first and get their automated system. Then, I gave them $100 on my credit card before I could even talk to anybody. The first three times Double D was out, Home Shield would not submit them the okay to come out here until four days later. They would always give me the excuse that they had to find a heating and cooling person that was available. And I’ve talked to Double D Heating. They have to wait for something from Home Shield before they can even come out here. But this last time, I called Home Shield and Double D Heating came over the next day around noon. That was the quickest that they got somebody here.

    I called American Home Shield and the contractor called me the next business day and told me that they could come out. The gentleman was out within a couple of days since my call. He was very nice when he came out. I let him know what my issues were and he checked the things that I needed. I had one outlet that whenever you plug anything in it, it would affect not only that outlet but then light is going off in my bathroom. And then in the kitchen, my dishwasher and the garbage disposal would mysteriously stop working. So while he was here, he checked that out and he had to replace one outlet and the other one had a loose wire. He fixed everything very quickly. I've had American Home Shield since 1995. If I have an issue with a major appliance, it’s worth me spending my little bit once a year to make sure that I have the ability, call someone and have them come out and fix it for me.

    It's so hard to find people to fix things and I wouldn't know if a contractor is a good place. It's hard to trust them. I figured that if I joined American Home Shield, they would know the best people to call to get things fixed without people trying to play games, not sure up or not do the job correctly. I went with them and there was a time when my dryer wouldn't come on. I called AHS's 1800 number and talked to their automated system. It told me that within 24 hours their contractor would call me to set up a time to come out and fix my issue. BA Distributing LLC came and they seemed to know what they were doing. They were extremely nice and followed the rules on social distancing and not touching things. My husband who was there during the servicing said that he would really like for BA Distributing to come and fix any issues in the future. Since the tech came, things have been working fine.

    My air conditioner and heater unit downstairs would blow, but if you turn the AC, it wouldn’t blow cold, and if you turn the heat, it wouldn’t blow hot air. It was just blowing. So I called American Home Shield, made the claim, and they assigned a company to me. They came out right on time on the day and the time that they said that they’d be here, and they went straight to work. They came back, let me know what they found and they were able to fix it. It was very fast. They were here for about 30 minutes.

    When I submitted my claim to AHS, I had called and then used the automated service. It said I would get a call within 24 hours and that the company would schedule appointment or if I wanted to call them and schedule appointment, I was provided their phone number as well. But I just waited and they called me the very next day and asked me was I home then and what time was good for me. At the time, I was home so they came right over. They were very professional and they briefed me on what was going on. Once they got done, they briefed me again, and told me everything was good. They asked me to go on and try it, make sure I was satisfied before they left, and I was. Everything’s working perfectly now.

    J&S came out for a leak in a washer and that was fine. They were very professional and it was efficient. We did it through American Home Shield. But they've been terrible to work with. We got bad service from them. They recommended one local repair outfit but that repair business wasn't able to come out quickly so we talked to Coastal. We asked if they could recommend someone else local and they did. We called that company and they were able to come and fix the problem right away. But American Shield wouldn't authorize payment because the people who did come out were not on the approval list of American Home Shield even though apparently, they had been in the past.

    After everything got fixed, I talked directly with American Home Shield and they indicated that they were going to refund our $75 service charge. This was over three weeks ago and they haven't done that yet. If they would do that, that would be fine. But we were very unhappy with them. I've sent them numerous emails. They're complete liars. They make commitments to do things the next day and the next day but nothing ever happens.

The man was the owner that came out to do the refrigerator. He was polite and very professional. He knew exactly what to do and he was in here maybe 30 minutes ‘cause I had a lot of ice that piled up like that and he got rid of it. He was on the floor on his knees to get the ice cubes. That was above and beyond. They did really well and it was a very good experience.

    The first time I made a call with American Home Shield, it was for my freezer. The door wasn't shut. I had to wait a whole week for them to come out to check on something. So, I just canceled that and went on to pay for somebody else to do that. If they could come out the next day or no later than the next day, that would've been perfect.

    We built this home 10 years ago. These appliances are the original ones. And doing a lot of reading, two things happen with appliances. If you get a new appliance and they're extremely complex, they have multiple computer boards, et cetera, et cetera, if you’re gonna have a problem, typically, you had it very soon after the appliance goes into service, or depending on the appliance, over time, things start to go wrong. And for the major appliances that we have, like the heating system, cooling system, things of that nature, we’re in the ballpark of 9 to 11 years.

    My mom lives with us. We converted the basement into an apartment for her. She’s 87 years old. So, not only do we have an oven, a dishwasher, a microwave, a garbage disposal, a washing machine and dryer, and a refrigerator with an icemaker, she has all of those too. When I checked out other plans, because we would have duplicates the costs were much higher than what I’m paying for American Home Shield. After narrowing the big list down to a smaller list and then doing my due diligence and finding out what other people say, do they like XYZ company or American Home Shield or this one or that one, and how quickly do they respond, the value for your money and everything else, I decided that for my purposes, American Home Shield would be the most cost effective but also would cover these other appliances and so forth.

    No one ever expects to have a problem, but we’ve had a couple of them. And the thought process in my mind was, “Starting at about 10 years old, things may go wrong.” We’ve kept up with the major appliances, like the water heater. I make sure I take care of that. The air conditioning and heating has annual maintenance services, etc. but things can go wrong. So I figured, “Let me get the service. Let me see, if we do have a situation where we need a technician to come out, how they do. If it’s not up to what I think it should be and so forth, I can always cancel it.” And we’re not anywhere soft than we were before we got the service. And so far, we’ve been satisfied.

    When my mom's dishwasher wouldn’t turn on, I submitted a claim online. Shortly thereafter, I got an email message stating that a contractor had been assigned and told me when the appointment was and gave me contact information if that wasn’t okay. And then, GE appliances was here at the scheduled time. They were courteous and professional. They fixed the problem within five minutes. The dishwasher was working and everything was fine.

    In the past, I had American Home Shield. Less than a year ago, we bought their coverage again. We have a few homes, one being in California and the other in Hawaii and they were offering a buy one - get a discount kind of special. So, I thought buying a warranty from them would be a good idea. However, it's challenging to speak to a rep. I have to be on hold for a while or the person whom I would speak to is definitely from a call center out of the country. When customers can speak to someone within the United States, they get better service than with speaking to a rep in the Philippines as it is hard for them to understand. It is hard for me to understand them as well. Recently though, we had a leak in the upstairs bathroom of our home one time and AHS sent Aladdin’s Plumbing to do service. The techs were able to make the leaking stop. I'm satisfied with AHS.

My wife calls up to submit a claim, tells them what appliance it is and they give her a vendor to call or they send her name out to the vendor and the vendor calls her. And they usually do that all in the same day. You don’t always get to choose your repair person. Sometimes you get a list of them and you can choose. But I’ve never had a issue with them. So far the contractors have all been good. As long as they come in, are friendly, do the job and explain what they do, then that’s really all you can expect them to do. I've had AHS for least six years. I got the warranty for a sense of peace knowing that if something major breaks they will get it taken care of. My son just bought a house a year ago, and he has it.

    During this pandemic moment, my freezer over froze and went out. So, I had to throw out some food, but I needed to get my freezer repaired. I paid the $100 deductible and Express Appliance came right out. It was a Samsung and the panel wasn’t working right in the ice maker. It had frozen up as well. I thought that when changing the panel, and we'd just check it, pull it out and push it back in and then it would make ice but it didn't. So, the guy had to come back again, but he did a really good job. American Home Shield was the best investment I had made because I knew I didn't have any use of my ice maker, the ice machine for water or ice, and my freezer was completely frozen up. I watched them take it apart and put it back together. Now, it’s like a new refrigerator. The timing was perfect ‘cause we had bought food and had to figure out where to put them. It was a lifesaver for us especially in dealing with this pandemic virus going on.

    You’re always skeptical when you’re buying things you see on TV advertised. But I took a chance on American Home Shield and it worked out. I was more than satisfied and pleased. I told my son who lives in Memphis, Tennessee about them. I’m paying $80 a month and it’s like you’re buying insurance in case you need it. The $100 deductible is not unreachable. It is easy when you have an emergency to just get $100 to get a refrigerator or stove or whatever fixed. It’s well worth it.

    I’ve had the experience where I’ve had a warranty on a washing machine. It was a Samsung washer/dryer with the glass top where you could see in and all the bells and whistles. The part where you spin the clothes came off and it sounded like I had a truck when it broke in the laundry room. The contractors came out and stuff, but it still cost me $400 to get the part. They put a new part on and it worked but then it broke again. I wasn’t about to give them another $400. I almost forgot that I had American Home Shield. I called AHS and they said that I just gotta pay 100 upfront and then they'd send the tech out. It worked out perfectly. So thank you, Home Shield, for having a really reasonable policy that people can actually afford and pay the deductible as well.

    I had a conversation with my dad when I was buying the house and he had been a member of American Home Shield. He’d subscribed to them and said it’s one of the best things he ever did. So, I said, “Okay, dad. I’ll do that.” I've been with AHS for 12 years now. Recently, the washing machine wouldn’t wash anymore. It started making a horrific noise and just quit. I submitted a claim to American Home Shield and the website was very simple to use. I’ve used their website before and I haven’t had any issues with it. The process seems pretty straightforward. I was informed I’d be contacted by the company within 24 hours, and I was. The technician that came out to the house was a super nice guy. He was concerned that we didn’t have a washing machine to use. He told us he wasn’t sure what situation’s gonna turn out to be, but he would discuss it with his boss and they would do whatever was best.

    When I had to call the appliance repair company, they determined that it was not going to be cost-effective to repair my machine, ‘cause it needed bearings, inner and outer tub. So, their recommendation to American Home Shield was that it be replaced. I found out from the appliance company well before I heard from American Home Shield. I did not hear from American Home Shield about it so I had to call them. And then when I called them, I was in the queue for an hour and 45 minutes. I gave up and called back the next day, and I was in their queue for a little over two hours before I spoke to someone. For the last 20 years, I’ve run call centers and that’s not acceptable.

    The recent claims we had with American Home Shield were both done fairly rapidly. When the garbage disposal was messed up, the young man came in and he was here about 15 minutes and decided that it was jammed up and it needed to be replaced because it had a leak. He went to his truck and got a new one, came in, and 30 minutes later he was through. It was working, and he left. Reese Air came out and they were here and they found the problem. They put a new motor on a blower on the air conditioner and they were gone in about 30 minutes.

    Usually in the summertime, it is too hot and if you have a problem with your AC, AHS has a limited number of people that are in the contract. It takes a while to do something. Years back, they replaced the condensing unit and a compressor and for whatever reason, it went to Yuma, Arizona instead of to Imperial, California which is where my granddaughter is living. It took us about two weeks for the air conditioning man and to fight with American Home Shield but I still kept the contract.

But this last time was the last straw. Our refrigerator gasket was torn from normal wear and tear (Refig is about 18 years old/Sub Zero). Condensation on the floor and refrigerator wont cool to below 44 degrees.

    Service Person from MS Appliances came and reported to AHS gasket only cosmetically “scratched.” 2nd repair person came Ukon Appliance Repair and wrote in report to us that the gasket is “visibly and physically ripped.” But he reported to AHS cosmetic damage only. Plus he was rude and disrespectful to us as senior citizens and only put on gloves when I insisted on it because of the pandemic. I don’t even think they were clean gloves. We know the game with AHS. If it's cosmetic damage it won’t be repaired. These three companies, American Home Shield, MS Appliance Repair and Ukon Appliance repair all practice customer fraud and deception and have unethical business practices.

    The guy from the first company that AHS sent went into our attic, noticed the leak and said that we needed a larger drain pan, but he never bothered to take out any tools or figure out where the leak was coming from. All he did was give us a recommendation. We called AHS after and they sent out another company for a second opinion. Godfather Company found that we had a leak in our coil. It was definitely a better experience than when the first company came out. We were very happy with everything Godfather did, from ordering the parts to getting the work done as quickly as they could, considering we were under the COVID-19 lock-in.

    Something was wrong with the pump and we didn’t know because it still ran, but when it went completely out, I made a request online.

    I got American Home Shield when I bought this place and it has been good so far. You can submit a claim online and usually, you have a contractor within 24 hours. Either you reach out to the contractor or the contractor reaches out to you. When I put in a claim, someone was scheduled but they couldn’t come out for a week and a half. I had to call AHS and ask if they could get another contractor, and they did. It was easy to change a contractor, which was probably a 20-minute process. I recently did the regular pre-season maintenance with Beaches Air Conditioning and Heating. Then, they had to come back because the heat was running instead of cool air. They came and fixed it. So, it’s all good.

    There was a time when my refrigerator wasn't cooling or freezing. I submitted a claim to American Home Shield and Carolina Appliance and Furniture, their contractor, came out to replace a part. After 24 hours, the refrigerator still wasn't operating. What set them back was my refrigerator having a parts warranty on it. As such, they weren't allowed to dig further to investigate what may be going on with my refrigerator because it could void the warranty if they ran a test.

    I've been with AHS for two years nice and their communication process has its ups and downs. I may have gotten a basic customer service rep who doesn't really understand some of their claims processes. That rep just knew the basics. So, I got the runaround for a whole day and the turnaround time for me to get a new refrigerator was two weeks. This was also due to the Coronavirus that was going during that time and everything came to a standstill. Some of their reps need more training on handling certain cases because they did not help me at all. It took an actual service rep from the servicing company to contact someone through American Home Shield to actually get somebody else out to my location. If it wasn't for the servicing company, nobody would have come out.

    I made two claims to American Home Shield which were both on my heat pump. My warranty was so new because I had just gotten it and on the first time the contractors had to come, they had to put the coolant inside of it to see if that would work. It worked for about two weeks, and then it got cold here again where I live, and then it got hot again, and then it wouldn't work anymore. So, I had put in another claim and K.S. Wilson had already called me. They've put in an order for a new heat pump, and they'll bring it when it comes in. They were very good, very nice, very prompt, very honest, and quick with what they let me know and when they come in. They did great. Submitting the claim was the easiest thing I've ever done.

    My fire alarm, which is one of those wired ones without a battery, kept beeping. The contractor who came was personable. He said that all the fire alarms are old and probably needs to be replaced. He also ended up fixing some other wiring that had to do with the fan because he had to take the fan down to get to the wires for the fire alarm. He knows that it was wrong, so he thought maybe that was the problem. He fixed the alarm and the beeping stopped for a couple of days. But it still beeps.

    I like how American Home Shield has typically gotten top-notch companies to come out and do service work in the 25 years I've been with them. Submitting claims to them over the phone has been a nightmare though as I am put on hold forever. For the two latest claims I've had, one contractor was good and one was mediocre. The mediocre contractor's first fix was not done to the standard it should have been. So, they had to come back.

    AHS's customer service department lacks a lot. Over the last several years, it was an absolute nightmare getting through to somebody. There was a time when my heat went out in the dead of winter and AHS was saying that they would get somebody out to my location in about a week and a half. I told the rep that it's 35 to 40 degrees out and I couldn't sit in my home with no heat. They're supposed to authorize somebody from a different company to do the job if they can't get one of their current service providers to do the work. However, the people in customer service wouldn't do that. So, I wrote an email to the president of the company and that got some attention. I got a call from the president's secretary and she handled my issue.

    For the most part, American Home Shield has been pretty solid. My Realtor sends an update with typical things that you should do throughout the month in terms of home maintenance, which instead of being web-based, it's a calendar or a magnet that I have on my fridge. I helps me make sure I go throughout my checkpoints throughout the year to get things done. That helped and for other consumers that would be something that they could use.

    The air conditioner was unseemly warm. We had to use it but it didn’t come on top. We put in a ticket and JFrank Heating & Air came out. They did a wonderful job. Amidst the COVID situation, the tech had booties on his shoes and wore a mask. He was very professional, arrived on time, diagnosed what the problem was, and resolved it. I’m very pleased. There's one situation though where it wasn’t a national or a regional company, more of a local company, that came. Their tech got the job done but our preference is to work with the brand or someone that I'm more familiar with.

    Submitting the claim for my trash compactor was pretty simple. The website's user-friendliness was fairly easy. I had to contact the contractor, but he was great. Over the years, I've submitted about four claims and AHS has been very difficult to work with. When you call them, you'll be placed on hold for 30 to 60 minutes. They also don’t have a streamlined process for repairs or replacements. If a technician cannot fix the problem, they send out other technicians instead of taking the recommendation of a technician. For instance, if something needs to be replaced, AHS wants the technician to order parts in order to fix something that obviously can't be fixed. I almost canceled them a couple of times, but I have some health issues and it got put on the back burner.

Then on the first time I tried to use the dryer, it just started clanking and then at the end of the cycle, the things were still wet. We knew we had to contact American Shield and get somebody out to check the dryer out. It was right around the slowdown time ‘cause normally they would have had the parts in within a couple of days, but it was only about a week. So under these circumstances, we were very good.

And then, a couple of months later, I went up there and realized that there was another filter that nobody knew was in there when I bought the house. The guy went through and told me my heater was fine, and I pulled up this filter that looked like it had not been changed in about 10 years and it disintegrated in the system. So, obviously, the guy didn’t check the system. But I didn’t find out until months after it happened so there was nothing I can do about it.

    When the tech came out, he replaced the same part as someone just replaced it last year. He said that it was installed incorrectly and that caused it to burn out again. I’ve been busy so I haven’t even been able to try to go back and ask the last company what was up. Every different company that comes out says it was the last guys so I have no idea. But I’m assuming with this claim that since that piece did burn out, it was actually that the last guys did do it wrong.

    I called Home Shield for my AC. 3 Boys Appliance Repair came out and the young man that came was very nice. He told me what was wrong with the AC. I knew what was wrong so he was right, and then they had to replace a part. But his company is not very honest. For example, they had additional charges that they said were necessary to meet code. I used to be on city council in this little city so I know the inspectors. I called and there were things the company had on their list that had nothing to do with code requirements. We got it straightened up. But when they make unnecessary charges, it’s not right.

    And then, they wanted me to pay for it before they did the work. I'm not paying anybody before they did the work. They also said they couldn’t make an appointment until I paid them. I told them that won’t happen. So, they finally decided to make the appointment. The young man came last Saturday. I’m still waiting for them to come again to finish the repair. They’re going do it tomorrow so that’s not too bad.

    Home Shield needs to look into that company particularly when they all are stoked beyond what it would take to make the repair. Unless, that it had to be done because of code, and they didn’t have to remove somebody in terms of what the code is in Missouri City. So, they took a lot of things off that bill that weren’t required. Then they said, “Well, we have to do those things,” because their insurance required them to. I said, “That’s baloney. No insurance company will require them, though. I have warranty on American Home Shield, why would you worry about it?” So, I didn’t like them. I’m gonna do it to get it done and fixed, but I would never use them. When I call in with Home Shield, I will make sure I will never use their company.

The biggest reason we extended it is the house was built 13 years ago, and it just seemed like a good idea to have a warranty to take care of stuff because it is 13 years old.

    Home Shield sent out an ad that there was a spring tune-up and I wanted it. But then, the guy came and I had to call because they didn't have it scheduled as a tune-up. They had it scheduled as a repair. When I went online to schedule a tune-up, there was no option. I just scheduled it. I said, "Well, you must know what it is. I did it through your advertisement."

They assigned somebody else at first and I looked online with their reviews and they were horrible, and that happened to me last time too. So, I had to call AHS back and ask to have somebody else assigned. But the JD Tech was incredible. They were really good, very thorough and very friendly.

    Every time I call, American Home Shield sends somebody right out. But I have an appliance issue with my washer that the technician from Wilson's Appliance Repair couldn't fix. My washer is backflowing and he tried but he couldn't do any good because he said it's a plumber issue. He said the plumber would have to do it. The water on the refrigerator also wasn't pumping. It was just dripping like a tap. The technician thought that if he replaced a part back there, that would take care of it but it didn't. It was still doing the same thing. Then when my fiancé came home, he said it needed a filter. We called the technician up and he asked why I hadn't said anything. But he was trying. He was good. In fact, he did ask me when I got the refrigerator. I told him it was pretty much new. It was new but it needed a filter and neither one of us knew that. He probably wouldn't know this when I said it was just a year old but it was a year old from Sears and the warranty was out.

    The water on the refrigerator is going really well now. But for the washer, I may have to call American Home Shield for a plumber because the appliance guy couldn't fix it. I just don't want to pay another $100 co-pay because right now, I don't have it. But when I submitted the claim over the phone before, I talked to a representative and she was very good. American Home Shield also reimbursed me $100 for another house that I had. The work costed me more but they said they were only gonna reimburse $100. I told them whatever I could get at the time was fine and the rep followed through with me. She was helpful. I recommend American Home Shield. As a matter of fact, I was gonna get my dad and my friend on it for their appliances.

    My recent claim was smooth. The tech from National Platinum came in and he was all protected. He had gloves and a mask on. He changed the parts, did his thing, and got out. And that was very helpful especially during these times. One of the bigger things too was that he had all the parts with him. My dryer was fixed that day.

    The tech checked the unit, but then after he went back and gave his estimate, they called me back and told me I had to pay them $900 something because American Home Shield didn’t cover whatever was going on with it. Right now, with the way things are going, I don’t have $900. I bought this policy and paid into it for over a year and from my understanding, once something breaks, it’s supposed to pay for it. It doesn’t matter what it cost. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bought the policy.

    We had no AC for three weeks. It took the contractor a week to get out here just to see what was wrong. Once they got out there, they realized that there was a leak in the coil and they said they couldn't fix it until the leak was fixed. They came back a week later and fixed the coil. Then, they said that the compressor was broken, so the AC was still not working. On the third week, they came back and put the compressor in. The AC has been repaired and we’re happy. They did a good job. It’s a good thing that the weather wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t in the middle of the summer, so we got by.

    I’ve used AHS three times. The first time, my oven wasn’t heating and my microwave was not working. They came out, repaired my microwave, were going to repair my oven, but they couldn’t find parts to replace it so, that’s why I was going to have to buy a new oven. The second time I called them, my dryer was making a terrible racket, so they worked on it, fixed it. And then, the third call was for the pool pump.

    My pool equipment was making a terrible racket, and the water was not flowing in the pool. I really don’t know anything about my pool equipment, unfortunately. My husband always took care of it and he’s passed away so I called American Home Shield and reported it as my filter not working. But when Pinch A Penny came out, they said it was actually the pump that was bad, and they replaced some parts in the pump and it worked for a couple of hours after they left.

    And then, it started making a noise again and the water wasn’t flowing so, I called them and they came back out. They said the parts that they had replaced were broken again. The tech told me he would either replace the parts or bring a new pump. But they replaced the parts and I had the same problem again, and they came out and they said they couldn’t find anything wrong with it and now it’s working. They said they would make a note that there were problems with the pump. If it acted up again, they would come back out. But right now, it’s working.

    As far as calling AHS and getting them out here, that has not been a problem. They’ve been easy to contact and they respond immediately. I have to have one of my ovens replaced, but I haven’t done it yet because we’ve been under quarantine. I had talked to them about just I would get it replaced and then submit the bill to them and they would send me the check that they told me.

    I had AHS for over 5 years and their services was okay at the beginning and after few years started to get worse. I have few issues that I faced with them. First they take a long time to process a claim, so example it took them around 8 weeks to process my claim to replace my refrigerator. I had to purchase another refrigerator myself because I cannot live and my family without a refrigerator. So I winded with 2 refrigerators. The contractors that AHS send you to fix something at your house always try to sell you other services that you do not need. I cancelled my contract with AHS because I wanted them to replace my kitchen's faucet and they sent a plumber to fix it and he told me that it cannot be fixed, but if I want I purchase a $350 faucet from him right away and he can install it now.

    I told him that the faucet is covered by AHS and he told me not to waste my time with them as it is not covered. I told him that I'll take my chances. He left and I called AHS and told them what the plumber told me and they told me that they have to wait for the plumber's report. I waited for 1 week and call them and they told me that they did not receive the plumbers report yet! I called them every other day for 1 month and the report did not show up. I requested a supervisor and I kept hearing the same professional canned responses and no one will help me. At the end they told me how about they send another plumber to evaluate the situation. I agreed, but no one showed up for another month, I called multiple times and they told me that they dispatched the plumber already and they even gave me the phone number for the company which I called and they told me they did not receive any request from AHS.

    This game with AHS stayed for 3 months and I cannot get my main faucet for my kitchen was not working. I called them and told them that I already purchased a new faucet and I just need them to install it, and I do not want them to pay for it. Just get me a plumber and let him install it and they agreed and promised me to send a plumber to install it. The supervisor promised that and I told him if the plumber did not show this time within 1 week, I'll cancel my contract. Nobody showed up, and I called to cancel my contract, and they charged me $100 for breaking my contract even I did not use their services for around 1.5 years.

    I got AHS in order for me to have peace of mind and I do not deal with many companies, and I spent at least 8 hours of my time talking over the phone with customer service without any progress. I have other friends that have AHS and they told me the same story. AHS is not doing a good job anymore. Don't waste your money on them.

    I had issues with my dishwasher and my washing machine. I had a little run-in with one of the managers because I asked her to send someone out that was certified in the particular appliance that I had. She said that they would send whoever they want to send. Instead of sending the Whirlpool specialist out, they sent someone from Shinmen Worldwide. He spent four hours on the washing machine trying to determine what the problem was and couldn’t fix it. They ended up sending the Whirlpool expert as I asked them to do from the start. He was here for 15 minutes and already determined what the problem was and fixed it quickly.

    They sent the same company for my dishwasher. My husband was here when the technician came. He looked at it, plugged it up and ran it for two cycles. He said that he didn’t notice that there was a leak anywhere. When I came home from work, I went in the kitchen. I was excited because the dishwasher was working and it was like it was doing fine. But then I looked at the bottom of the dishwasher near the floor and I saw water. My son said to me that the water came from the trash bag that we had sitting there so I was like, “Okay,” and I went to bed.

    Later that night, my son woke me up and said that we had water all over the kitchen. There was a puddle of water everywhere. My son grabbed towels, put it everywhere and sucked up the water. Now there are molds everywhere on the side of my cabinet where the water leaked. The whole board that's over at the bottom of my sink was sunken clean in. I haven’t pulled it up and I know there’s water all up under there. My son said not to pull that up because we’d be breathing molds.

    Shinmen came out for the second time and the technician finally determined what was wrong with the dishwasher. He said it needed a valve, but he didn’t have it. They had to put the valve on order. The lady called me and wanted to schedule a time where the tech could come back out and put the valve. However we were going back and forth, ’cause I was at work and I would miss their call, and I would call them back, and then they wouldn't answer the phone. I called her back and she got the technician on the phone. The technician started talking to me any kind of way and said that I was gonna sue them. I told him that he never heard me say that. All I wanted was to have my dishwasher fixed and that this damage where the water was had to be repaired too.

    At the end of the conversation, I did not feel comfortable with that technician coming back to my house. I told Shinmen that I'd call American Home Shield and get them to send someone else out because I wanna give their company a chance to fix the problem. I called them back to see if they had another technician that they could send out to my house and they said they only have one who services our area. I told them if that would be the case, I’d call American Home Shield and tell them to send another contractor out, which is what I did.

    American Home Shield sent somebody out right away. The next contractor called me and we booked a date for them to come out. But the coronavirus hit so that changed everything. Right at this moment, I put them on hold, told the lady I would call her at a later date after I get my home insurance company out to see what they would do about the damage that the water has caused. Now, my dishwasher is still not fixed and I have molds. I’ve turned the water off of the dishwasher because I don’t want it to cause any more damage than what it already is.

    I think what American Home Shield does is start at the bottom of the list with the contractors. They’re gonna send people out who has quoted them the least expensive contract. My sister-in-law also has AHS. When she had a leak in her upstairs bathroom, she called them. They sent a technician out and she thought everything was fixed. It ended up having water everywhere. It punctured a big hole in her wall and it damaged her house so badly that they had to move out of the house and had it renovated. The insurance company had to replace her appliances and her flooring as well. I think AHS also sent out someone to her who gave the lowest bid and the tech didn’t know what he was doing. In the end, it would cost AHS more money than having them send out an expert in the beginning.

The remote control went bad and he called to make sure that my home warranty is still in effect in front of me on speakerphone. That was so freaking disrespectful. Other than that, all the rest of the contractors were okay.

    Anytime Home Services sent somebody out first in December for a plumbing issue. But the leaking issue caused all kinds of problems in the house and I called my insurance company and they had to rebuild the bathroom and everything else. Then, the leaking issue continued after everything was rebuilt so I called them again. The young man replaced a part that needed to be replaced and showed me the old parts and what was causing all the issues. I called his company how he was so great and has amazing customer service. He fixed that thing in 10 minutes and I’ve been dealing with that for four months.

I've had to do a recall and I kinda knew what needed to be done, but then AHS sent somebody out and then didn't give them permission to do what I originally said the first place, so they had to send somebody else back out. They ended up fixing the problem which was what I originally said we needed to do. So it was kind of frustrating but stuff gets done.

    When I had my emergency, AHS put me on this $400 expenditure thing, and I tried to find somebody myself to get somebody out here, but I couldn't get approval from them to get that person up here. AHS said that they would reimburse me after arguing with them for an hour, but I also didn't have the $400 it was gonna cost to get that person out here. I ended up just waiting and I tried to fix it myself. I temporarily got it working to where we could use it a little bit and just to give us time to wait for AHS to get somebody out here.

    This is the third home warranty company we've had and Home Shield is better than all of them. But when you call in as a customer, the people that take the calls are in a call center overseas and they're not very good. They need to have better people that can answer questions. I was able to get a number for one of their reps that deals with the providers and whenever I had an issue or wasn't getting answers, I would call the rep and they would always get mad and ask how I got their number. It doesn't matter how I got it though. The fact is, they need to update. Otherwise, it’s really easy to make a claim online.

    I had a claim for the thermostat and it turned out awesome. They fixed it and showed us how to use it. It was simple, easy and they were great. We also had our hot water heater taken care of. They didn't have anybody that works on on-demand hot water heaters so we had to get it replaced which was 4,800. They reimbursed us 1,500 which would be the highest end of a normal water heater and it was fair since they didn't have anybody. They also waived our $100 fee. Getting the reimbursement was a little bit difficult and it took them a while but otherwise, everything had been great.

    I submitted a claim to AHS because I had part of the house that there was no power. JC Electrical came out and within 20 minutes, they identified the problem and then resolved it in about 45. So, it was great. I was happy. The process to get it started is okay. In these times with the pandemic going around, there was a concern. First of all, I didn’t have power for part of the house and there was no way to get a priority put on it. AHS told me I could call the contractors. And so, I tried calling them but there was no answer. I didn’t even know if they were even open because of the way things were closing down. I had to wait two days before they came out. And it wasn’t their fault. They weren’t even open. But it would’ve been something that I would’ve been willing to pay more to get somebody to come out as an expedited service.

    AHS is okay. Every time I use them, I'm always wondering, are they going to cover it? Are they not? Is there gonna be a fight to get them to do something? We’ve had issues before, like for the air conditioner and it took a while. I was without air conditioning for four days in 100-degree weather.

    I needed to have a rekey done. Through the Home Shield, I was told that even though I paid, I couldn’t do anything. I had to call my Realtor and told her that I was told me I could get my home rekeyed. She took care of it for me then someone called me. She said that was not the way that it was supposed to go. They were supposed to allow me to get my key since I already had my contract number and everything. She actually did that process for me. Someone from Ed’s Lock and Key came and everything went perfectly. The tech called ahead of time and was on time. He was very friendly and explained what he was gonna do and why he was doing it. We went over what keys and locks needed to be done. He went over it again. I was very happy pleased with his work.

    The only thing with Home Shield is if we have a contract and it’s paid at closing, they should be prepared. I didn’t wanna wait too long to get my home rekeyed and I did it a couple of days after closing. I think that should be something that should be done immediately or they should say in the contract, “Right away, you can within 48 hours or within 24 hours or 12 hours. You can go on and get your home rekeyed. That’s part of the process.” It's because you wanna feel safe and closing is already a big headache as it is. And to have that comfort to have someone come out, do the rekey of your home and tell you what you're gonna get after you close, will be perfect.

    After I filed a claim for my AC, the contractor was scheduled out in a day or two, which wasn't very long. The AC wasn't cooling the house and the unit outside was making a really loud noise. The capacitor needed to be replaced and they did a great job. They were here for no more than 10 minutes and got it fixed. They were on time, very friendly, and professional. I'd use them again.

    American Home Shield is doing really good right now and I haven't had any problems. Their claims process was really easy. I had a claim for an electric issue and Sunbelt Electric was my designated vendor. The tech was a good guy and was really nice. I liked him a lot. He fixed the problem right away and it was really just a reset of a switch. It was kind of my stupidity as I thought I had reset everything. The claim went great.

    For the first time, my refrigerator ice machine stopped working and then only a couple of my stovetop burners were working. Big Kountry Appliance Repair came on time and ordered the parts that it needed. The parts came in and they fixed it. Very professional guys, good work. I had to call them back because the water froze up in my water dispenser part of the ice machine. They came back and fixed it right up.

    However, every time that I talked to somebody, about 80% of the phone callers who answered rarely speak frequent English and they were very hard to understand. Like the one time that I called and asked for my payments statement, they put me on hold for 20 or 30 minutes each and then all of a sudden hangs up on me. It was very frustrating. On my last call, I talked to some lady and it didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. They said they would send it but I haven't got it yet. Other than that, it's been fine. The claim process is pretty easy. When it comes to something like for a service for a claim, American Home Shield is very frequent. They ask me what's wrong with the appliance and what brand name it is then they tell me who's gonna come fix and look at it.

    My blower wasn't working and I wasn't getting any air or heat out. I went online to American Home Shield. Their website allows me to pick from repair companies that I can choose from. However, with this last claim, I had trouble 'cause no one services Propane tankless water heaters. Millennial HVAC came out though and had to order a part for my heater. It was covered under warranty so they had to wait until the following Monday and they got the part then. Previously, I’ve had issues with them as far as calling in and talking to somebody is concerned. They didn’t have supervisors available to escalate my concern to for more information.

    The icemaker went out. And we took it apart, but we couldn’t figure out what was wrong. And so, we went ahead and called AHS and paid the $120. I’ve had a lot of things going on. I’m 72 years old. I’ve got a son that has no liver, and we’re trying to get him a liver, and it’s a very complex process. I thought that the down payment of $120 was a little steep, especially on a person on a fixed income. But I went ahead and I paid it, and very quickly, I got ahold of the people that were going to fix it. And they gave me a very short time window in which it was down for about two days. The gentleman was very nice. He was very efficient, articulate and informative.

    I was very disappointed to find out that the fix was very simple. There are seven wires that are connected to the bottom of the lower left, and that would be the freezer, and one of them had gone out. And it’s a very extremely poor design. I was extremely disappointed when the technician told me that KitchenAid is doing nothing to repair this simple problem. And I would imagine a lot of people are having this problem because the wires are at the bottom of the door of the freezer, and you open that door quite a lot during the lifetime of that refrigerator. And a simple fix would eliminate a lot of problems for a lot of people.

    I have a savings account and I was fortunate to have an insurance policy that helped me pay off the house and get a new car when my husband passed away. But a lot of people don’t have $120 lying around to get their refrigerator repaired. I’d like to take the president of KitchenAid and throw him in a lake somewhere. It’s just the lack of caring on the part of the people at KitchenAid wanting to improve their product.

    I put in a warranty claim with AHS for the pool pump. The company, Pools Unlimited, came out within four days of me putting the claim in. It was issued right out the same day. He came out here and saw that the pump was no good. He called American Home Shield and they replaced it without questions. He left me one that day. So, it was quick, easy and painless.

    When I called back this week because we realized also that our saltwater system wasn’t working, I didn’t realize that the saltwater system wasn’t covered. I spoke with Diana with American Home Shield. I told her that it would be a salt system and that the company that typically was dispatched doesn’t sell that system, and if we could use that money towards a system that he sold. And she said that he would just need to submit his cost for it.

    I went online that same day within an hour and put in the ticket. Pools Unlimited, the very next day, called in the claim and I was informed that they don’t cover the salt system. And I'm totally okay with that. The only thing is I wish that the lady had let me know upfront that saltwater systems are not covered instead of having to go through all of that. But they did not charge me for that second call. So, overall, I'm pleased. I just wish that there had been better communication when I was on the phone with her. I've been with AHS for a year now and they have been very good except for that one mishap with communication.

    I’ve had Home Shield in the past. However, they should make the out-of-pocket expenses when something is getting repaired or replaced cheaper. One time, the contractor came out to work on the AC and they replaced stuff that they didn’t need to. It’s great that I wasn’t charged for it, but that was a charge that was sent to Home Shield versus me. They had no need to replace the thermostat when all it needed was something else done to it. That was really bad of them. And then this last time, they forced me to pay for something out-of-pocket, otherwise, they refused to do the installation. And they said it was for the city inspector. When the city inspector came out and inspected, I asked them and they said, “No, they didn’t need to do this.” It’s $250 out of my pocket and Home Shield said it’s an out-of-pocket expense. There’s nothing that they’re going to do. But other than that, my experience this time was as good as I could expect.

It got cold for half a day and then during the end of the day, the air conditioning was getting warm. I called American Home Shield and they sent somebody out to take a look at it. Then, they sent a second person out to look at it. It took a couple of weeks, but it was during the coolest part of the year so it didn't really matter to us. The company they sent out was a good company. They were very respectful, didn't hesitate to anything, and kept us up to date on everything. They were able to fix it, although it took a while because the guy said it takes a long time to get the part to Hawaii.

    Last Saturday, we turned on the stove and immediately smelled gas. So, we called our gas provider Atmos out and when they came, they said that they were essential workers and they couldn't go inside our house. The tech said he had to turn off all of the gas to our house. I asked what we were supposed to do about hot water and he told me to call a plumber who will be able to come out and diagnose everything.

    I called my home warranty and they said that they would send a plumber out and it was gonna be 75 bucks. The plumber got out here but said he couldn't do anything without gas. So he asked if I had any toilets that he could fix. I had plenty of toilets so he fixed a couple of them and said he couldn't do anything about the stove. I was told to get an appliance guy.

    I called AHS and they sent out an appliance guy who said that he couldn't do anything without the gas on. My stove is one that whenever I turn it on, it goes "click, click, click, click," then it tries to spark. He said that this type of stove is always gonna have this issue and it was unsafe. It needs to be replaced by one of those that has the coil at the bottom that turns up high. He said that he's gonna ask AHS to replace the stove, but more than likely, they were gonna tell me to replace the part.

    I called AHS and they said that they ordered a part and that the guy was gonna replace it for us. But this guy told me that he couldn't do anything without the gas on. Then I had to call Atmos. In the meantime, we were gonna send out another plumber to do a pressure test. I asked them if I had to pay because it was all related to the same thing. AHS said I still gotta pay the service fee. So at this point, I'm $225 down and I and my kids are cold. I'm having to give my kids cold baths and they're screaming and crying. I can't eat without my food being microwaved. So I'm pissed off. But I thought I was gonna do what AHS was saying. But they don't know that I'm a litigation adjuster and I have a lot of experience with attorneys.

    The third plumber comes out and he was super great and very honest. He told me not to trust AHS and Atmos. Now I know I'm not crazy because someone else was telling me all these people are just lying and they're being greedy. He said he could do a pressure test without the gas on and he could tell if it was leaking. However, it was gonna be $450. Here I am spending $450 because AHS is saying it's not specific on my policy that they'll pay for that so it's excluded. I told them that the policy literally says it's up for interpretation. But then I paid for it. The plumber said there was no leak whatsoever however, he couldn't touch this water heater because AHS was saying he couldn't touch it without gas.

    I called Atmos and asked if they were gonna send someone. Then they said they couldn't send anyone out because my husband, who is a police officer, was exposed potentially. But my husband already got tested and the test came back negative. But still, they said they couldn't come. I posted on Nextdoor and I called WFAA and then the local news. Within three hours, I got a call from a director from Atmos who said it was a miscommunication. They said they were gonna send someone out but someone had to be out there who is capable of being inside and making sure that it was just the stove.

    Then an HVAC specialist and a mechanic from Nextdoor said he could help. I told him to give me an invoice so I could send it to AHS but then he didn't charge me one dime. He came in here, made sure we had heat and hot water. He also said that he couldn't do anything about the stove because it needed to be replaced. At this point, AHS is failing me and there was a breach of contract 100%. They were just sucking up all my money and not wanting to help me. I asked them to send me a copy of the denial but they never sent it.

    This morning, the third plumber comes back out and said he came to give me my inspection so that the city can look at our stuff. But on the website, they're saying that they're not doing any more inspections. He said, "Wait, no one told us any of this. The office has to call you so you can relay this information because if the city's not doing an inspection, then what are we doing and why did you guys pay us 450 bucks?" Not even 20 minutes later, the city rolls up and does an inspection. The guy said that everything that AHS and Atmos have done is 100% illegal. So, our house is unsafe now and we still don't have a stove. AHS keeps charging me for these people that don't know what they're doing. All they had to do was trust the appliance guy when he said that the stove needed to be replaced.

    Now, I have to get AHS to give me a new stove or I need to find a way to buy a new stove. My warranty with them was $550 alone. I called them two days ago and told them what was gonna happen if I didn't get my way. They said they were submitting a request for a replacement and that someone would give me a call within 24 hours. 48 hours later, they're still not doing their job. We have warm water now so everyone took a warm bath yesterday. But we can't cook anything on the stove.

The guy saw it and he moved it slightly and it was fine.

    Then the motor moved and we had to call AHS back and have them come back out. There was a slight language issue with the lady that my husband talked to ‘cause I heard he kept telling her how to spell his name over and over. My husband said she had a very strong accent. She said she would put the work order back in for the company to come back out and that we would get an email confirmation about this appointment. We never got the email so my husband called AHS back again to reestablish the work order. As soon as the phone call was hanged up, there was the text message saying that On Time Plumbing & Heating would be calling to come back and fix it.

Also noticed "code required upgrades" that were needed, which aren't covered by AHS. Rejected by AHS authorization department, directly contacted by Piedmont Mechanical to get authorization to proceed. Technician came out and I asked what were the code required upgrades - replacement of a bad float switch for the condensate pan ($250 charge), mastic applied over the duct tape seal ($250).

    First time in my many years of being an AHS client where I felt that the dispatched company was looking to increase their revenues/take advantage of me as a client. When I had the same issue with my other unit 4 years ago, didn't have these additional charges. AHS customer support and retention departments just repeat that they don't control costs of code required upgrades, but don't know the codes/put all the responsibility on the client. Fair enough - not the quality of product that I've been receiving in the past, wouldn't recommend AHS to anyone else.

    Their website was pretty good. It was very reasonable and friendly. I sent in a claim online when the AC was not blowing a cold air. The contractor did not get the call from American Home Shield because he was not in his office. So I called him and he went to his office and he found the order. He came within an hour. He found something wrong with some wire. It got cut so he fixed it. I was very pleased.

    There was a time when my heater wouldn't come on. I contacted American Home Shield and they set me up with Miller Pools. Their tech, Matt was very courteous and he showed up when he said he would. Miller Pools got my heater working but then they also had to order a part. When that part came, they called to schedule to come again and put it in.

    A couple of days after they came out and put the part in, I noticed that when the pool was just running its program, the heater was coming on. I would turn the temperature off as well as the heater, but the heater still kept coming on. I called Miller up and told them that I couldn't get the heater to not come on when the pool runs its service. I didn't want to run my heater for two and a half hours every day. Miller made another appointment and came back out. They reset something and now the heater won't come on unless I ask it to. Miller Pools went above and beyond expectations.

    Original Review: April 9, 2020

    I was really disappointed in the communication with AHS. I called and told them the appointment was for a toilet that was overflowing, and a shower. They said they would be out in four days. There was sewage and we had to evacuate the house so, we got someone else. I called back and asked if they could change my $100 payment to the refrigerator because it started leaking as well. I don't like that they actually sent me several threatening emails saying that they were about to stop my account and I was $100 behind. I finally called in and the guy said that they didn’t put down that it was changed from the plumbing to the refrigerator, which was disappointing. I considered changing from AHS because of that. And there are other companies that offer roof. I’ve had to have the roof fixed on a few occasions so I considered having the roof just in case it goes bad again.

    National Platinum Service was fantastic. The ice maker went out on our refrigerator and I called Home Shield. The guy knew he had to order a part and when he came, he fixed it the same day. The guy came in after five days and with the virus thing going around, I expected that. Still, he was on time and he was very professional. He had a mask on and made sure he was completely covered. Now, the unit is working great. My daughter had coverage as well and she kept telling me how nice it was that she just called them and they took care of the issue.

    I had done some research when we were looking into buying a house and American Home Shield seemed to offer the most coverage for the price. When I submitted a claim, I did it over the phone because I never know with the warranty if I'm clicking boxes. Pop-A-Lock of Texas came for rekeying and it was short, sweet and simple. We didn't have any problems. The guy had everything he needed and it took him half an hour.

    I called AHS yesterday for a different claim that we had done and it's hard to get a copy of receipts for any of the work that was done. If you go in the account, it'll show you the claim and it’ll say, “Closed.” In a separate tab, it'll show you how much you paid but on any chance that you had to actually print out a, "I did this, I paid this fee, it was completed, here you go," for record-keeping or insurance, that's impossible to do online. I called and the poor lady I was talking to said that they don't give receipts and there's no way to do that, which is the only thing that I was a little frustrated about.

    Most of the time, it's not an issue but we had another claim that involved our homeowner's insurance. It has nothing to do with the rekey, but our homeowner's insurance was asking for a copy of a receipt from the repair that the warranty company had done, and I didn't have one. I had to call the plumber directly and get a copy from them. You can't get a receipt for anything from the website.

One of my claims was for a leak behind a toilet and the other was the kitchen drain. Both were handled quickly and we’re very satisfied with our service.

    American Home Shield works and we've had it for many years. The only thing is the fee went up but the company doesn't cover as much as they used to. Before, they used to cover the entire amount before. But if I need something right now, they only cover this and give me that. I would have to pay for the rest of it. The policy didn’t use to be like that. I understand if the amount is astronomical but if it’s something that costs $1,200 and they tell you they're only gonna you $700, why do I have insurance if I still have to meet this gap?

    I don’t like that you are paying to the insurance of having this and you pay for years and may not need anything but when you need it, it’s way less than what you’ve already paid into the policy. You assume that something is covered but when you get there it’s like you have to come up with 500. And then I’m like, “I can’t even get it done right now because I don’t have the 500.” Other than that, the policy is fine. I filed a claim for my dryer which wasn't drying and American Home Shield sent out Premier Appliance. The technician fixed the dryer on the same day and it's working now.

    Submitting a claim online to AHS was very simple. The next morning, I got a phone call from the contractor and set up an appointment. There were two different issues. It ended up there was an outlet bad in one of the bedrooms, which caused that room and the hallway not to have electricity. And I put in a new ground fault switch on the deck and it was a faulty switch that I had put in. And therefore, that was causing the other issues. But the technicians found it and all's good.

    TotalTech Electric was fantastic. They were exactly on time and did a great job. They were clean, professional and friendly. The man was very thorough. He checked all sorts of wiring issues up in the attic, the breaker box. And he had the electronic equipment to trace the lines. He ended up just started taking different outlets out of the walls to see if that was the problem, and that's how he eventually found it. I really was very happy with them. I'm very satisfied with AHS as well, especially after the troubles I've had getting my furnace fixed this winter. American Home Shield redeemed themselves.

    My mom's friend just bought a new house and I recommended AHS. I've used them several times to repair things around my house. About a year and a half ago, my water heater went out in the winter and whenever the repairmen came, they would say that part of the thing that was wrong is that the heater wasn't installed correctly and that they didn't even know if my issue would be covered. AHS covered it and it saved thousands of dollars. They also cover little things like clogs and leaks that can completely derail things and mess up my budget.

    For my heating and cooling recent claim, Aerotech came out and their guys got someone out very quickly. When they got to my location though, they didn't have the parts that they needed. But they took the time to come back after the hours that they would usually work. They got my issue fixed and they were really nice. And with the virus stuff going on, they wore little booties too.

    Whenever I call AHS and they give me the company that’s coming out to fix it, I call them right away. I like to talk to the person that’s coming out here because I inform them what’s going on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t because just telling them what’s going wrong doesn’t give them the answer. In the past if they come out and they find a part that they don’t have, they have to come back the next day. When I called for the fridge he said it is iced up and that I have to empty the fridge out, unplug it overnight.

    By doing that he saved me a day of going without a fridge because when he came the next day, it was thawed out. He kinda got the idea and picked up a couple of parts that he thought was gonna take him to fix it, and he replaced the part. He got it running within about 45 minutes and had my stuff back into the fridge within an hour after that. He did really good. I probably would have been ahead on money had I not gotten Home Shield warranty, but I certainly wouldn't have peace of mind.

    I think American Home Shield has a local rep who actually looks on all the calls. They have somebody from the company overseeing if the contractors or if anybody has a problem.

The guy had the exact faucet and replaced it that same visit. I'm very impressed.

    Maybe American Home Shield's online system can ask for more details, like a model or part number. If I have say a problem with my faucet, I could tell them exactly what faucet, model, or whatever extra I can give info about so they can send it to the contractor who will know exactly what to bring on the first call. That could save a lot of time for almost all future calls. Suppose my air conditioner is not working. I could tell them the brand or model number of the air conditioner so when they come, they can bring something with them. That makes sense. There should be a second or third level of form that people can fill online. That can save trouble for everybody.

    Original Review: April 9, 2020

    AHS is good but they need to increase the number of contractor options. When I speak to some of these contractors, I find out that they are on a set fee rather than on a cost reimbursement so whenever they repair or they don't repair, they get the same fee. Some of the contractors don't agree on having a set fee. They don't end up staying or they end up moving to different areas. Also, some of these contractors are not honest.

    I have a specific situation where I had a problem with my water regulating. The contractor that they sent me were a bunch of crooks. I called the lady and I told her the guy had no intention of coming down from the car. He briefly came and then somebody came after him. He just looked and he never turned in any paperwork. He told me that the pressure from the city is high and that was why my water regulator was busted. I asked him where his pressure gauge was and he didn't have it. I asked him how he knew the pressure from the city was high and he couldn't answer the question.

    I also had a couple of other issues inside the house where there was a leaky valve. He said he would do it later. He didn't even wanna go in and see it. He walks away and writes a bunch of lies to his boss, which in this case is the insurance company. I was about to write to the department of insurance to report this cause because this was wrong. If somebody cannot ask the right questions and they get this response and the insurance company goes along with it, it is cheating. They should fire the first company that they sent me. They're a very bad company.

    I complained and AHS waived my $75. I didn’t pay a second $75. They sent me another company and they were a lot better. The guy had to get authorization, he diagnosed the problem and he had to come back two days later, which was understandable. When you call a plumber, he doesn't have what you need. He doesn't know exactly what the problem is until he comes. Then he came back and took care of the problem.

    I also have a claim on my refrigerator and I have been waiting since February. The company that AHS sent is smart and they knew what they were doing. But they're not in a rush. Today is April 15 and the refrigerator is still not fixed. I'm waiting for the tech to come tomorrow because he has to order a part. Luckily, I have another fridge in the garage so I'm able to use that. The company is okay but their service is turtle-pace. I know AHS talked to them and then the contractor gave them the runaround and then they tell me to wait. They need to get a better contract with them and an understanding that they need to take care of the problem efficiently, not forever.

    The third issue I have is the option of pool companies. They have three companies in our area and I have researched all three. One of them has a very limited ability to do work. They don't know how to diagnose. The lady's husband was running the work and he passed away so she's carrying on. She's not a pool lady herself but she has technicians. She managed to pull it together and managed to continue doing the work. When she sends somebody, he's not really the top-notch people. They're just employees and that is not good. Then the other two companies are very bad. I asked about them and they said, "Stay away from 100 miles". AHS needs to increase the pool companies in our area. They need to bring people from other areas.

    I had to fight and argue for everything. It's not Home Shield though. It's the company that they're using. They need to manage them better. AHS is a referral from friends of mine and they tell me that it just depends on my luck. Sometimes, I'm gonna have good companies who come out. I'm crossing my fingers tomorrow for the refrigerator to be taken care of and that I can put some meat in the freezer.

    The upstairs AC was running but not cooling. This is the first time we submitted a claim to American Home Shield. My husband called them, they set up an appointment, then we got an email saying the contractor was coming. A tech from Myers Comfort Specialists of Birmingham came last 25th of March. That day, he sent a text saying, "I'm on my way." He arrived, worked, told me what was wrong, and then left. AHS was easy to work with.

    My experience here, living in Atlanta, has been good. When I call, someone is usually out within 24 hours. I had some plumbing work done and I really like that service that I had done simply because the company that came out almost had a rolling warehouse. So they pretty much had everything they needed. That was a plus for me. I didn’t have to wait until days later to have a part ordered. I’ve had some services done and I’ve had to have parts ordered. So that means I had to wait and be without the appliance or whatever it is that I needed. So it would be a good suggestion to have more product available when the customer calls.

    My claim with Extreme Heating & Air went well too. The tech was very professional. He came in a timely manner and he let me know me when he was on his way. He came out, assessed the problem, did what he needed to do and went on his way. I've had American Home Shield for a couple of years now and I’ll keep it. Actually, I’m in the process of moving so I will transfer it to where I’m going. Having a warranty is important.

    From my first call, it was about four weeks till I got someone to call. I had to call again. AHS didn't have someone in the local area at first listed and I was all right with that. So I called in and as soon as I let them know that nobody had come to the house, the rep immediately was very helpful and apologetic. She did her best to accommodate me. So once they realized it was a problem, they were right on it. The claim takes quite a while since I live in Navajo Dam, so I’m 33 miles from downtown Farmington and I’m right on the 30 miles from the borderline from Colorado. They don't have a lot of people listed to come work and repair. But I hope they maintain Quality Appliance because they can come here.

    I had another issue with a oven a couple of years ago and we played phone tag for quite a while with the contractor. They were out of Durango. But eventually, they did show up. I’m pleased with that type of service. AHS just needs to make sure that the contractors are available or they need to follow up to verify that the contractors has responded. Because maybe the contractor is out or they’re overwhelmed.

    My garbage disposal was totally stopped up. I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield and on their site, I could quickly type in what my issue is. I quickly got an email saying that AHS has scheduled my claim with a contractor and they gave me a way to contact them. Hoosier Plumbing & Heating came and took my garbage disposal. They emptied it out and it was no big deal.

    Another time, my dryer had a problem and AHS's contractor came. The dryer needed to be maintained but I don't have AHS's coverage that has maintenance as part of it. This time, AHS paid for the part that needed to be replaced. Paying $50 a month and $125 for a service call seems a little high. Still, that's probably due to the plan I chose.

He came with an igniter. He was here for 10 or 15 minutes, and that was it. Everything is working fine. But I was quite disappointed when I called American Home Shield a year ago about fixing a wine refrigerator that I have. There was an issue with a part in it.

    My claim went real well. The contractor came out the first time and found that the issue was a circuit board and possibly something else that was connected with it, but they had to order the part. It took about two weeks to get the part back. They came out the second time and he replaced the circuit board. Once he put the circuit board back in, he said the other part didn't look right and it didn't sound right, so he replaced that other part as well. He did a wonderful job. He was a really, really nice person. He put his boots on before he walked in the house and cleaned up after himself. The clean-up was good. I’m glad I had the ability to have this done for not as much as it could’ve cost me.

    I always bought my appliance through Sears and I always got the warranty because I swore that it was always worthwhile. You may not use it, but it only takes once, and this was one of these cases. I like that you can call American Home Shield up and they get somebody on it right away, and they’ll give you a call and say when they're coming out. With everything that’s going on nowadays, they really work quickly. I don’t mind making that payment every single month. I’m very satisfied.

    I’ve been having AC problems for the past few years and every time I have it done the summertime, Myers Comfort Specialist normally comes out and does whatever they do, and it gets back working. This time, I had to call an outside contractor because it was on a weekend and we had a family gathering over to the house. The outside contractor came in, gave me some Freon in the AC unit and told me that maybe one of the coils was bad, and to contact my home warranty.

    When I contacted AHS, they called and told me what the price would be. The specialist came out and told me that the things that were on the list was not necessary and that it already came with the float switch. He called his boss and did whatever he did and said there wasn’t going to be any out-of-pocket expenses. I like them. They get very personal with you. They give you some little notes like if my AC wasn’t working they would suggest to clean around so that it can vent a little bit better so that they won’t keep getting called out. I will recommend them.

With our water tank, we paid $75, and then they were back the next month trying to fix it, the next month trying to fix it, and finally, they gave me a new one. And the only thing that I paid was to bring it up to code because code had changed in 10 years that we had had it. This is an amazing cost-saving coverage.

    So far, the contractors have been great, super nice. However I wish that there was some way we could pick our own contractors. I’m into a new house now and I don’t remember who I was talking to. If there’s a problem after the one year warranty or five-year warranty I just work through you AHS to work with those contractors that way, I don’t have to go and get a whole different contractor to do it.

    I had a leak under my kitchen sink and it was associated with the kitchen faucet. I went online and set up the claim with American Home Shield. Instantly, I got the number of Ray Stovall Plumbing. I called them because of the current situation with everybody and the pandemic, trying to schedule them now. I believe when we initially scheduled it, I may have been working still in the office. Now, I've been home working. They had been backed up a little bit. I talked with their scheduler and she assured me that they would come out on that Friday that I requested. I work Monday through Thursday and I can't stick around for four hours waiting for somebody to show up. They came out on Friday, did the initial repair and said, "We've got the leak stopped but we need some replacement parts. Just call us when they came in." They worked with the manufacturer to make the necessary repair and had ordered a few miscellaneous parts from Kohler.

    When the parts showed up, I called and said, "Just come whenever you can 'cause I'm working from home." It worked out pretty good. They replaced the hose and something else. I'm not sure if it was the valve body, but they ordered the supply of parts based on the manufacturer's recommendations, came out here and fixed it.

    American Home Shield did a great job. Their contractor was really upfront with me, and they didn't spend a whole lot of time here in excess. They weren't chatty while working. They were very respectful of my time, and they were safe. They came in with their gloves and shoe covers on. They've been doing it probably for a while, I guess. They knew exactly what needed to be done and I was pretty satisfied with these guys. I'm ready to make another work for AHS, for an electrician. I've got a power problem here that I can't get resolved. I'm gonna set it up with them probably today or tomorrow.

    I've worked with Sears. They sent a contractor to fix one of the water valves on the bathtub, and they were less than ethical. They charged me a whole bunch of money. What happened was, I was flushing my bathtub and when I opened up the valve, it stuck. When I went to close the valve, it was very hard, then it broke. It was nothing that anybody would have done normally to try to shut the water off, and so I explained that to the tech. He wrote up what they needed to do, but then he turned around and told Sears that I was destructive. I will never let that contractor come to my house ever again. When I did a name search for the contractor, they had a poor reputation. A lot of people were very dissatisfied with them. I told Sears either they'd make it right or I'm gonna go find somebody else. So here I am with AHS.

    The American Home Shield website is straightforward and submitting a claim is easy. What I do is submit the problem and request the service call. It usually comes back and says, “Your request has been assigned to a specific vendor and they will be getting in touch with you.” Then the vendor calls me and they set up an appointment. They would contact me within the same day of submitting the claim. That’s relatively quick.

    My last two claims were on a garage door opener and I had two different companies. The last company that I had, #1 Garage Door, was phenomenal. The garage door opener inside the house failed. The tech’s name was Ronnie and he was outstanding. Not only was he professional, but he was very thorough and neat on how he put things together. If I had that kind of experience all the time, I’d be extremely satisfied.

    I've had one contractor that was very slow in responding, and that was a while ago when I had a problem with my HVAC. There was something wrong with the circuit board of the air handler, the motor itself, and the fan just kept running. It wouldn’t shut off. The technician that they sent out reeked of cigarette smoke. When he diagnosed the problem and came down from the unit, he didn’t write down the serial number, the model number, or anything. He had to go back up there, undo everything so he could write down all that stuff so he could order the parts. I was very dissatisfied with his professionalism. He was young and inexperienced. I wouldn’t want that guy representing my company.” But the next guy that came to the house was a complete opposite. Extremely professional and did a really nice job putting everything back together and setting up the unit.

    They really sock it to you on air condition repairs. They made me change my air conditioning to a different kind of Freon, but now, they only pay for one pound of Freon. My unit takes about 15 pounds of Freon. When these vendors that work for them come out, you don’t have a clue what they’re doing, but then you get stuck with a bill for 10 pounds of Freon and it’s $40 a pound.

    My hot water heater started leaking a little bit and the water fluctuated pretty bad in the house. So, J&K came out and looked at it and decided it needed to be replaced. The replacement process with American Home Shield was pretty seamless. It was the first time I used them online, and it was pretty quick and efficient. I was surprised. Also, luckily, the hot water heater was covered, and it was kinda nice not to pay that extra expense.

    I've been with American Home Shield on and off for over 10 years. We had them when we lived in another state for a while, and since we've been living in Minnesota, we've had them for at least eight years up here. When somebody comes out, I would think that the flat fee they charge would go towards the unit getting fixed because we had to pay the difference for the actual service because there had to be some upgrades for codes which I understand, but it would be nice if that service would go towards the actual labor rate. Other than that, with AHS, I know what's covered in our house.

    The dishwasher just wouldn't cycle. Turned it on, and in the middle of the cycle, it quit. It just was full of water and that's it. I called Home Shield, and nine times out of 10, when I have an electrical-type issue, like a refrigerator, a dishwasher kind of an appliance thing, Big Bill's usually is the one that comes. I just call American Home Shield and say, "Assign me somebody."

    What happens is Home Shield contacts Big Bill's, Big Bill's then sends me a text and says they will contact me within the next 24 hours. Usually, I hear from them or whoever it was in the next 24 hours. And then, they would give me a date and a time. And at that time, for whatever reason, they were backed up big time. I went a week or two without my dishwasher because it was right in the beginning of the COVID-19 thing. It took at least 10 to 12 days for them to get there. The rep told me though that it was gonna take that long. And I was like, "Okay, whatever." What could I do? But that company, Big Bill's, it's a lady that comes and she's really nice. And most of the time, she comes, fixes the issue, and she's on her way. If I didn't have a warranty company, I would call them. I have their magnet up on my refrigerator. I've been pleased with the service and they're very courteous.

    The warranty saved my butt so I like the whole premise of the warranty. However, from a customer service standpoint, Home Shield is not very good. From customer service, you had to stay on the phone forever before you get somebody to actually call. Me and my wife just go online now and put in a call online. If you called up there because you owe them money, they would answer the phone within two seconds. But if you are waiting on service, it would take forever.

    Short’s Plumbing and Drain Cleaning's response time was pretty good. The tech was professional and courteous, and did the job in a timely manner. Everything was fine.

    Home Guard is coming out today. I talked to American Home Shield yesterday because they closed the claim by accident because apparently there were two customers with the same first name. The rep probably spelled my name wrong in their file too. But other than that, the claim went pretty good. They've been really quick to respond. Both times, the contractor came out the same day, with exception to this latest part of the follow-up, which they had to wait for a part. I'm working from home, so the timeframe worked out really well. On the second time though, they came like three hours early, which was great because I was here. But if I had not been here, it probably would not have worked out so well because they didn't call ahead.

    So far, I have no complaints with American Home Shield. The monthly cost for it is not too bad, and so far they've been able to fix everything. I haven't gotten bills for anything that's not covered. I was pretty happy too that they were able to reopen the claim after it had been closed. Also, the process of submitting a claim with them was super easy. I did it at 2:00 in the morning the day the furnace went out, so I was half asleep, but it was only about four questions, so it was pretty smooth.

    Thanks for your vote!
