    I figured to get a home warranty ‘cause when somebody comes out, they're gonna charge you so much. The only thing I don't like was when the first snowstorm kinda knocked everybody out of heat and light, their people didn't look like they come quick enough. When a company came out for my furnace that went out, they just shut it off. I had to call AHS and they said that the wires had burnt up. Whoever was the last person that worked on my furnace took some kind of limit control off and that made me not be able to get the furnace fixed. The lady did go over the contract with me and it says it in the contract. I had to have a furnace so I had to buy one. The lady was nice but they didn't even suggest anything for me. I called the place that they had come out here but he gave me such a ridiculous price.

    I've only started with AHS for my rental property in May, and immediately, I had an air conditioning problem. It was awful because I couldn't get through and it took them three people to come out because they didn't do a Zune system. In the middle of it, my tankless water heater went out, and it went lickety-split. Both of those cost me out of pocket because of modifications and dimension changes, but it still was a lot less. Then, things were fine.

    I did pre-season checks with AHS. I've been waiting to get information because there's a thermostat that's not working and I need to get a filter. Meanwhile, I had the furnace check here, which was lickety-split and it was fine. But I've had a smoke detector that went off a couple of times over the years. It went off at 4:30 in the morning a couple of months ago. I had somebody come out and they said it was too close to the fan and put them back in. I had them all dangling because of batteries and I've changed batteries. Then on Thanksgiving, it started going off again every 10 minutes at 4:00 in the afternoon. So I've had to take them down and wedge this piece of paper to stop the contact.

    I've been fighting with AHS that they didn't fix the smoke detector. The tech guy tried to say one was too near the fan and so I'd have to move it but AHS has denied that. It's still a pain in the ** and we have three of them down now. So they're sending somebody else today. I was told that if they have the same report, then I have to pay another $100. If they don't, then I don't need to pay, and we'll go from there. So it's a hit or miss.

    In the end, the home warranty was well worth it. The only problem was getting them to answer the phone. Although I called some other number and it got answered right away. So, I haven't had the problem I had before with trying to find out. I do my claims online all the time. But one time, I stayed on the phone for an hour and a half, and this was a Friday after hours. I talked to somebody in Georgia who was very sweet and was sorry and called the contractor, and then the next day had left me a lengthy message. So when you get the people on the phone, they're very helpful. I tell people that they have to be prepared for what AHS is. The contractors they deal with are not your local ones necessarily, but it doesn't mean they can't do the job.

    We had a claim for a dishwasher put in. Everything went fine. The tech was thorough. He did a neat job. It didn't work and the contractor couldn't repair it, so I had to buy a new one. The one that American Home Shield offered wasn't compatible to the one that I had so I had to go out and spend some more money, and then I'm waiting for my rebate.

    My sink and my disposal were stopped up. My disposal was running then as soon as I would stop it, it would spit right back up. It wasn’t draining. I didn't know if that was my disposal or my sink. The guy came out and said it was not my disposal, it was my sink. He was very nice. He remedied it except that while he was snaking it, the snake went through the pipe so I had a leak. The next day, my basement bathroom had water all over it so I called them back. They didn't know if it was the same problem or if it was something additional. I said since it happened the next day, I feel like they were connected. They thought that I didn't need to pay an extra $75 unless it turned out to be something different and I was absolutely agreeable with that. It turned out to be a hole that was put in by the snake and the guy fixed it yesterday.

    I had another issue with my shower that was separate. They’re gonna come on Tuesday to fix that. I need to provide access and AHS said that I needed to move the mirror and vanity for them to get access then cut around there. But I don't know what happens now that I have that hole. The home warranty said that they would be paying to drywall that back in but I don't know how that works.

    We bought a condominium and the seller bought the warranty for us. American Home Shield was a good deal. They were okay and they were always quick to assign a contractor. The contractors were always good and they fixed everything we needed. One contractor was Piedmont Mechanical. They were fine but they got mud on our new carpet and the steps.

    The only thing I got against American Home Shield was it took forever to get ahold of them, which was terrible. I waited to talk to a live person and was on hold for an hour and a half. We had the home warranty for a year but we are not going to buy the home warranty again because we don't need it. We pretty much got everything fixed that we feel we're gonna need fixed in our small condominium.

    So far, so good. There was an issue and AHS got somebody out to fix the gas leak so they could turn my gas back on. I appreciate that. The plumber was outstanding. The total bill was $750 and all I did was pay my $100 deductible so that was good. However, I was advised that they were not going to take care of the other issues associated with that gas leak. I've been waiting to see it in writing and I'm still waiting. AHS was quick and very responsive with the one area that they agreed to take care of. But the one area that it appears that they don't want to take care of, they haven't followed up on communication.

    The house and the pool are covered in the home warranty. We had another party do the pool which was great. But this home also has very nice gas-fired backyard amenities such as a gas grill and gas lanterns. Next to the hot tub, there are a couple of gas-fired fire and ice pots. One of them was not working. I thought my warranty covered everything. They weren't inspected because it's one of those things that slipped through the cracks. The original home inspector just did the home and the sprinkler system. Nobody looked at all the gas amenities that are part of the landscape in the backyard. Now I have to fix all these amenities in the backyard that I wish would have been captured in the original inspections by somebody I paid.

    I recently had an AC issue. Submitting the claim was a very frustrating process. I didn't know if it was because we had a language barrier or because what I needed wasn't listed on the list of things that the lady could choose from. I had to repeat what I wanted done five times, and then she still didn’t get it, so I just picked something and told her that was what it was. Once the guy called me back, then I discussed what I needed to have done. He was very nice. I've had some issues since the repair and he came out today and fixed it.

    When the heating furnace came on, it had this burning plastic smell. So we shut the heat off and called it in. It took a while for someone to come out because J&A was extremely backed up. They scheduled an appointment that day but they didn't schedule it for like a week. When they came out, they were on time. They looked at it and repaired it. The tech had to leave and get a part. Then he came back and installed the new part. He made sure everything was working properly. We were very pleased.

    American Home Shield could improve on being able to talk to a live person instead of being automatically routed to the endless chasm of prompts that don't get you anywhere till you finally get to a person. When I call to ask some question, it's like, this doesn't apply and this doesn't apply, and I have to push a button, then it doesn't really apply, just to finally get to talk to somebody. But the coverage itself is excellent. The main thing is that everybody needs to read the fine print, so they know exactly what they're buying, what's covered and what's not covered under each of the different systems.

    We had to do three claims, one for the water heater, one for the furnace, and one for my oven. I don't like the new way that American Home Shield is doing claims where everything is online or automated. It's very difficult to get ahold of somebody right now. For our claims, the same people that came out for our other water heater came out for this recent one. They were great to work with. AHS gave us a really good contractor.

    The furnace guy was the same thing. He came out, it was really easy, and he was really great to work with. This claim was addressed wonderfully. What happened was our furnace is a very good one but it's very old that they can no longer get parts for. All of a sudden, it wasn't able to shut down properly. When the temperature would hit its appropriate temperature, the furnace would shut down then start up again then shut down. We were very worried because the last thing we wanted to have to do is replace our furnace right now. The furnace guy was able to diagnose the problem down to the actual thermostat within the furnace itself, which did not have to be replaced. It just needed to be adjusted. It got a little bit loose with age and he was able to make that adjustment. The furnace is running perfectly now.

    My oven being down has literally killed the way we can eat. I'm still waiting and it's been a while. I'm hoping to get my oven back quickly because after my procedure tomorrow, my diet will be very specific. It's Christmas time and I can't cook it without an oven. I tried to contact AHS twice now and I was on hold for over an hour. Online, it tells me that it's still in review. But when I went through the automated system, it told me that part was on order. I'm being told two different things so I'm not really sure which one's correct. That’s a little bit of an issue.

    That issue aside, AHS is a great company and I was very happy with them. I would definitely recommend them especially if you're unsure about the home you're buying and what's going on with it. We have a newer home in Wales and we have AHS on that as well. It's comforting to know that we have coverage if something were to happen. When you buy a house, you don't necessarily have a ton of money.

    I've had multiple issues with my air conditioning over the last three years and I've had American Home Shield send out numerous companies. It's relatively easy to submit a claim. They will tell you which contractor has been assigned. They will give you a phone number for that contractor and will let you know that the contractor will be contacting you shortly. I had Southern Air Conditioning come out because the air conditioning wasn't blowing cold air. The techs have all been good from everything that I've experienced. The professionalism is good. But I've had a couple of issues with the quality of work from different contractors.

    Last year was a big ordeal because the agents at American Home Shield did not seem to know the contracts that were issued to the contractors. I was having an issue and they sent a company out. They thought they did the repair and within a month, I was calling them back because it had gone back to blowing warm air again. They sent a different company out and that company said it was the worst solder job they had ever seen from the previous contractor. That was why it was leaking again.

    When I tried to get somebody out to fix this, they kept scheduling companies, but the companies would say under the contract, the original contractor would have to come out and do the repair. So my air conditioning was literally out for two months. Living in South Carolina during the summer and two months to get an air conditioning problem fixed is unacceptable. So they should understand the contract and when there are issues, they should able to resolve them quickly.

It was easy. I received the support I needed, and I was able to schedule and make sure that the account was good to go for our use, as well. I was given the information about the contractor. He got here within the timeframe, came in, knew exactly what was needed after looking at it for a few seconds, and had the exact part that he needed. He replaced it and it worked. He gave us all the necessary information, leave it going for about 24 hours, and then use it. It was very efficient and helpful. We have ice. I like American Home Shield.

    I've owned this house for about eight years and came to find out that there was a couple of things that I've had to do repair-wise that I could have had covered. I was told to try American Home Shield and it's been amazing so far. But they could have an upfront list of the people in the area that would be doing the work. It's not a big deal who would work on a claim but I was hoping it wouldn't be someone from out of town that was coming to my town to do the work, which it was in both times that I've used AHS. Other than that, this is my first home and I'm a young home buyer and it's things like this that have made it easy.

    I was having an issue with the furnace where it would have to try to kick on multiple times before it heated the house. I had to reset it manually and everything. Once I made the claim with AHS, I had Advanced Refrigeration get ahold of me and the tech was awesome. We had to wait for it to do what I was saying it was doing and he was willing to come back later in the evening way past when he was still in business to make sure he caught it, which he did. Once we figured out the problem, he had the part on his van and he fixed it right there. Then, we were all good to go.

    A portion of my wiring quit. My computer and my lights in two rooms went down. My wife was using our sewing machine and that went down, as well. But there were still some lights that were on. When I went to check the breaker, it was not broken. I started getting my little AC checker and it wasn't showing okay. It was showing a weird power on ground indication and it was a little bit above my paygrade.

    I called AHS and had an electrician come out here. He was a real nice guy. He looked at a couple of the plugs and found one of the plugs was indeed bad and there was a little black mark on it. He said it didn't look dangerous but it was gonna be intermittent. So he replaced about three of the plugs and that took care of it. So far, it's been fine. The guy was real good. It was pretty easy to submit the claim. I just went online and submitted it. Then somebody called me and got some details. The guy called me and set up a time that he was going to be in the area. He was here exactly when he said he was going to be there. It only took about an hour or so and he was done.

    We had to have a ice machine fixed in our refrigerator and it was one of the appliance issues that was taken care of pretty quickly. There was a part in the refrigerator that was $350. But it only cost $75 for that amount to pay. So that pretty much paid for the warranty right there. AHS is like any insurance. It's not something that you want to use, but you're paying for it every month, and month, and month, and over the years. Then you kind of almost feel that you wish something would break here so you can get your money's worth. But when it does happen, it's there and it works for you. I’d definitely recommend it, if someone wanted it.

    My pool motor stopped working because of some power surge and the whole thing got reset. Expert Pools came. They had to make a couple of trips but they eventually figured out the problem and addressed the issue. There are some issues with the coverage from AHS. For example, the pool heaters which have stopped working are not covered. Otherwise, I also have another property where I have another warranty service and I feel American Home Shield does a good job. They can send good people and the claims get resolved promptly. Sometimes though, coverage can definitely be improved even if I have to pay a bit more. If those options can be shown as an additional charge, then I can make that call instead of finding out towards the end when I have a problem that is not covered.

    AHS was recommended to me by a friend. She kept insisting that I get it. She was telling me that I was spending way too much money trying to do each appliance separately. I have also told friends that they do need to consider buying the home warranty versus getting a separate warranty on each item they buy which was what I was doing. I recently filed a claim for my second refrigerator. I did have to wait two days so I had kind of shopped for Thanksgiving. I did end up losing a lot of food. But other than that, when the guy did come out, he did fine. He said it was the timer and he fixed it immediately.

    I have two American Home Shield policies and my tenant said he was very happy with the claim in Scottsdale. They went out to check on a water leak. They replaced a valve on it and it’s fine and dandy. However, American Home Shield is a little higher here in Texas and I don't understand the difference for that. It's just for a condo but the outlay is $100 as opposed to $75. Other than that, it seems to be working out well. They send out the same company depending on what it is.

    The recent claim I had was my pool. We had a little bit of a mess-up on that. I had paid for someone to come out and give me a diagnostic. He found three leaks by getting in the pool. American Home Shield sent out a pool company. He fixed the inside of the pool and said it wasn't covered by the warranty, and that was $300. But he didn't fix the part that was covered. So, I had to get on the phone, spend my time, call the pool company and tell them they were supposed to come out. American Home Shield wanted me to pay another $75. I said, "What did I get for the first $75? I paid $300 to have it fixed.” They rescinded and sent the guy back out so I wouldn't have to pay another $75. The pool people are professional. They get there on time and let me know they're coming. The guy's name is Chris. He fixed it and told me what needed to be done in the pool.

    When you have something that's gonna be outside the warranty, American Home Shield needs to be a little clearer. The leak was inside the skimmers. They said it was not covered but I was paying for extra to have the pool covered. But they did come out this year and had to replace the big filter thing. They took care of it right away. Their guy said it was broken and they repaired it. It was about a $1,000 piece so it was well worth it to have the warranty.

    I’d recommend American Home Shield. I've got a lot of properties and I've got a lot of clients that have properties. They've had some run-ins with their warranty companies not wanting to pay. If something needs to be replaced, that's where the big problem is because they lead you to believe that they will replace anything. But I didn't study that part. When I say something's broken and I have a warranty, I expect it to be fixed. If they can’t repair it and it finally goes out, I expect it to be replaced. None of this, “Well, I’ll give you $50,” or “I'm only going to give you $100,” or “I'll give you $100 towards your technician,” whatever game they're playing. That's not the way it works and that's what my clients are finding out.

    Heroes Plumbing Service handled our claim really well. They found a leak in the bottom. It wasn't where I thought it was, it was in the shower drain, and that's not covered by American Home Shield. It turned out that I also had a leak into the bathtub because three years ago, I had these things replaced and the people installed it wrongly. They missed one of the leaks. But they diagnosed the other thing, and they were very professional and on time.

    Sometimes, it's hard to know what American Home Shield would cover and what they won't. For example, I have an old fridge and it was leaking, and the plumber couldn't find the part. They ordered the part. In the meantime, I'm waiting, and my fridge is still leaking for two weeks while the part comes in. I hope they make things happen faster.

    We were unable to use the dishwasher. I put a claim in with American Home Shield and the process was easy. But I would have preferred if we could have set up the appointment times a little more conveniently. I figured, me being the person that's getting something fixed, the contractor would work around my schedule but I had to keep adjusting my day to work around the tech getting out to me. I was a little irritated by that because I'm finding myself having to do it yet again today.

    They had to cancel last week because of inclement weather again. For today, I told them morning is fine because I'm home but I have a doctor's appointment at 12:00. Or they could come after 4 o'clock because I have to pick my wife up from work at 3. But they called me today telling me that they're going to be here between 2:00 and 4:00. I feel like what I say is not being listened to. It's not about me being available for them. It's about them being available for me. I'm the customer. Other than that, AHS has been good overall.

    When it rains, the plumbing in my house would clog up. We had a snowstorm and I noticed the plumbing was backed up. A plumber from A-1 Affordable came out. The guy was someone who had been out here before and he unplugged the plumbing. I had another plumbing outfit come out and the tech went 75 feet out and unclogged it. This time, A-1 came again and the tech who seemed to know what he was doing said it was about 40 to 45 and that there was something wrong somewhere in the line. It took about half an hour to unclog the plumbing. It wasn't a stop short job.

    I've been in my house going on three years and from my understanding, the previous owner had problems with the sewage and the city said they couldn't get a camera in. If all this was on file and recorded before I purchased my home, the appraiser should have been informed because they go through procedures at city hall to get the sale together. I pay my warranty every month as well as the service fee. Somebody should give me a diagnosis on exactly what the problem is and repair it. When I call AHS, they're Johnny-on-the-spot. When my furnace went out and I had a plumbing issue, their guys both came out and took care of my issues the same day. I'm satisfied with how they respond when I call and with their service operation. But I can't say if their techs know how to handle my problem.

    I was a little troubled when the tech first arrived because he wasn't even finished getting off the truck when he told me that I got two issues going on. He said he was going to have to get me to call AHS so that I could get another claim going because I was going to have to pay another $75. But I told him that when put the claim of the repair request, they didn't tell me anything about that and that both of the issues would be taken care of. He the said that I might want to call AHS. So, I called and told them to tell me this. Then, they had to call him and say that both works were under the same ticket. So, he needed to take care of them. So, he said he would.

    For the air conditioner part, he realized that a motor had gone out, so he started fixing that. When he went back to the furnace issues, I told him that the heater was not working. I had to turn it off, reset it, and turn it back on. It runs for about two or three hours, then I had to get up in the middle of the night, turn it up, and reset it again. Before he even looked at anything he said that it was a problem with my air filters. But I said that those air filters have been there for just a little bit over a month and they were still pretty clean. I said that not because I didn't want to change them, but because I didn't think it was time to change them at that moment. But he concluded that that was the problem.

    However, the heater was still not working right. In the middle of the day or in the night, when we had the heater on, it would be blowing cold air. So, I told him it also had to do with the thermostat because they came to look at the unit and they never changed the thermostat. At the time, I had to step away from him since I was on a lot of calls because I'm working from home. I asked my son if he could keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't need anything. The tech didn't spend 10 minutes there and came out with the conclusion that the issue was the air filters. But I knew that it wasn't. He then left without having a chance to talk to me. Now, we're still having some problems with the air heater where it just starts blowing cold air. So, I was really disappointed.

    I never had these problems with American Home Shield and my experience with them had been good. Not too long ago, they sent techs who came in to fix my garbage disposal. And today, some people came to fix my dishwasher, only to find out that when they came in to fix my dishwasher, there was about half an inch of tubing too short. So, it was leaking water underneath. The drain was clogged and they never even changed that. So, I’m getting disappointed with the overall service that I've been getting.

    Other than that, when I called in for the furnace and the air conditioner, AHS told me I didn't have service. But I told them that I've been paying every month without failure, because I have it all right with them. So, I told them that it needed to be taken care of. It took a while for them to say that I have service. They had to call me back and let me know that they misread my record.

But right close to that certain time, they called me and said that they wouldn't be out that day. I asked if they were gonna come by the next day and they said they would be out in another four days. I asked why I wasn’t at the top of the list for the next day and they said that they got other people to take care of. I told them that I should be number one on the list for the next day. They said they couldn’t do it. I talked to a supervisor and he too said they couldn’t do it. I told them not to bother coming out.

    I called American Home Shield and they got me another company, and they were perfect. They did everything they said they were going to do. The contractor came and the dryer works fine. I also had a washing machine replaced, a refrigerator repaired, an air conditioner had a part or two that needed to be replaced, and there might have been a couple of other ones in between there. I've had AHS for close to 10 years. I pay a good amount for it but I like that peace of mind. I rent a room in this house and my rent is so low. I told my landlord to let me buy a home warranty. He likes to travel a lot and if he’s out of town and something breaks down, I can take care of it just paying a deductible. I've done that twice for him now.

    When I filed a claim for a leaky faucet and a leaky pipe on the bathroom sink, I was notified that I would be contacted by someone within 24 hours. The one issue I had, and I could be partly to blame for this, is that if indeed Fazio contacted me, they didn't leave a message. I don't know where the disconnect was, if the email was generated properly or if there was a gap in communication with Fazio’s or my phone. This concerned me a little and then when we were able to finally connect, it added to the time to get me scheduled. That was a little frustrating, but not to the point of disgust or that I would never recommend this service.

    The service was excellent and I appreciate it. I'm not an expert, but I thought the faucet that was leaking could have potentially been repaired, and I thought that would be the direction that they would go. I'm happy with the results though. They ended up replacing the pipe that was leaking and the faucet with a new comparable faucet (maybe even better) and did a good job, so I was grateful.

    I had a leaking garbage disposal. A tech came and when he realized what the problem was, said to give him a few minutes. He went and came back with a garbage disposal. He took about 15 minutes tops. He replaced my garbage disposal and it was quick and easy. He was in and out. This claim worked out fine and I was satisfied with what happened.

    The lights were coming on and off, and the contractor found the problem and fixed it. I've had a home warranty for at least six years or so. We had Fidelity but I was not going with Fidelity, so I chose American Home Shield. When I submit claims, it’s sometimes hard to reach anybody by phone, so I go online to start the process. But a lot of times, it's limited on what you can check for any problem that you might have. They have generic things. But when they call you, you can tell them and you can add things.

    I had someone from Home Shield come out to fix my disposal thing in the kitchen sink. He was fantastic. He came out, fixed the problem right away and he was gone in five minutes. A couple of days later, my sink kept filling up with water whenever I'd run the water. So, whatever was clogging up the disposal got into the drain line. I called Home Shield about four weeks later to order the second plumber to come out to unclog the drain. It was just the main drain that goes from both sinks to the ground or to the water system. It was clogged up. He just put in that long snake thing, and snaked it out, and that helped fix the problem. He was perfectly professional, and he was dog friendly. It was nice to not have to lock up my dog since he didn’t bark the whole time he was here. I will never have a house without a home warranty, and I highly recommend American Home Shield because everything is easy with them. I do everything online.

    Jacob's Plumbing came out and fixed an issue. Then we had an additional issue just a few days later that I didn't realize could have put it on the same invoice. So I ended up paying an additional $100. When I did that, Jacob's Plumbing never responded. It had been three days and I still hadn't heard back from them. So, American Home Shield contacted Safe Cali and they ended up coming out a few days later.

    Safe Cali looked at the issue and stated that they needed to get approval from American Home Shield and that they would get back to me. But I still haven't heard from them. I've been contacting them and leaving them messages almost maybe six times now. I've also contacted American Home Shield to tell them that they have never called back and my toilet is still not working properly, and I'm still waiting.

    I'm in a holding process for this and I'm really dissatisfied with American Home Shield for not being able to help me after I've already paid my deductible. I've paid in the last two or three weeks $300 and the services are not complete. What's even more frustrating is the people that I speak to there at American Home Shield has been really difficult to get through to help them understand the process and what I need. They're constantly repeating everything. That's why I haven't called today. I've been thinking about it all day, but I don't have 25 minutes to be on the phone with American Home Shield just to still not get my issue resolved

    I'm very dissatisfied and I'm trying to find out if there is another home warranty company that I can go with. Thank goodness that I have two other bathrooms but it's very inconvenient, especially when I've thought that this is going to be resolved. But here it is, almost Christmas, and I'm afraid that I'm not going to have this resolved before then.

    My biggest problem with American Home Shield is that some of the service contractors they've sent out seem to be lacking integrity at times. They’re not as meticulous as most people. It’s almost like a trend with most of them. They come out and before they even assess the problem, they start telling me how much it would cost to repair it. It seems like the whole goal is to exceed whatever the minimum that AHS pays them and try to get as much as possible from the homeowners. I’ve had that happen on numerous occasions and I have complained about it on several occasions also.

    AHS needs to do a better job of screening their contractors and make sure that the contractors know that AHS customers are not cash cows for them to try to manipulate. Fortunately for me, I've been around for a while and I know about homeownership. When they come out to tell me things, I tend to question them and they seem to get a little agitated when I start asking them questions.

    We had a company come out here initially and told me that my out-of-pocket is going to be $700. When the guy came out, he told me the reason it’s freezing up outside is that I don’t have enough Freon. He told me all that after being here for about 10 minutes. It was kind of strange because I just had the compressor changed in July and they filled it up. He said I might have a leak and I said if it does, then that should be covered because they should put a new compressor on. Then he said that maybe it’s not the compressor. He came in and looked at the air handle on the inside. He took the cover off and looked at the evap cord, which seems to have just a little wear and tear on it. He said my cord is leaking and I told him that that cord was changed about three years ago. He said he was gonna take all that information back and then they would call it in.

    American Home Shield sent me an email and then I went online. I called American Home Shield and they won’t tell me this was a $750 out-of-pocket expense to give me a breakdown. I called the company up and said I wanted an itemized breakdown. A rep came back and said it's $150 for a plumb line to clean a drain line and the Freon is $500. I called the billing inspector's office and I and I told a rep what was going on. I asked him to give me the high-end of what it’s gonna cost if they change out the whole unit and he told me it's gonna be $60.

    I asked for a second opinion and A & A came out. Their guy diagnosed what was going on and he told me it was the evap cooler. He told me exactly what it was. He said there was a short in the wire with the defrost regulator outside. I got extra wires for this whole system. And he explained it to me as he was doing it. He came back in about 10 minutes and said he has fixed the problem. Other than the level of competency of some of the contractors that they send out, I recommend AHS.

    It's been mostly good with AHS. I've had three repairs and two of them are complete. However, they're hard to get ahold of. You stay on hold for a long time. Also, some of the vendors that I’ve used are a little flaky. I had an appointment for someone to come out for my dishwasher. It was scheduled from 1:00 to 5:00. I called that morning to confirm that they were going to be out between 1:00 and 5:00 and they said yes. I got a text message at 3:45 saying the tech was on his way. At 5:45, he still wasn't there. I called the number and said that was incredibly rude and inconsiderate. No one had called to tell me the tech was not coming. I didn't get a call back until 6:50, saying, “I'm sorry, I got delayed. We're gonna have to reschedule.” I was like, “No, thanks. I'm not going to reschedule with you.”

    I had to call American Home Shield three times to get set up with a different vendor. They sent someone who clearly had never repaired a dishwasher. The claim was denied because they were saying there was a foreign particle. I said, “Yeah, That's why the dishwasher is broke. The bearings from the drawer that you push in and out to load the dishwasher broke. They are the ball bearings. It's on Maytag’s website.” I had to call American Home Shield and dispute it. They said they could send out another repair person but if it turned out that it was a foreign object, then I was gonna have to pay another $125 service fee. The person came out a couple days before Thanksgiving and said he'd be out the next week but I didn't hear from him. I reached out to him this week and he said the parts are still on backorder. It would have been nice to have been contacted to say, “I'm sorry. We're not coming. The parts haven't arrived.”

    The submission process is easy. I had my dishwasher replaced. I've had service for my dryer several times and I've had the icemaker repaired on my refrigerator too. The ones for my dryer and refrigerator went smoothly. Recently, I had my dryer serviced again and the company handled stuff very quickly. My experience was very good. On the other hand, the one on my pool heater has not gone smoothly and I've been dealing with it since May of this year. I turned a ticket in and had a company that claimed it wasn't normal wear and tear, which is crazy ‘cause the thing is 2005. That's how old it is.

    I had a second opinion, dealt with that guy for a while, and then he got sick. He stopped returning calls and he was supposed to be ordering a part. I had to deal with American Home Shield ‘cause they were denying it the entire time. They wouldn't return my calls, and when I asked to speak with somebody like a manager, they said they would be calling me back and they never did. They also didn't have documentation that I called. That one is tainting it because I've had a lot to deal with. Finally, I asked for another appeal and I got a third person out.

    They were able to convince American Home Shield that it's normal wear and tear and it needs to be replaced because it's old. I called them and last I heard, they said that a new pool heater was being ordered now, but I don't know that I trust that ‘cause sometimes they tell me stuff that's not actual. I haven't been able to use my hot tub since May ‘cause there's no heater on it. The spa is connected with the pool which heats up all the same. I also started looking at other warranty companies over the pool issue ‘cause that's been stressful. It has been a nightmare and it turned me off, but everything else has been good.

    I would give this company zero stars if I could and I honestly suspect the other reviews are paid for because I could not imagine worse service. We pay roughly $80 a month which as you can imagine adds up very quickly. When our dishwasher broke, it took their subcontractor weeks to come out, weeks to diagnose the problem (only when I called to follow up), and weeks to forget to send me an email that our dishwasher (a fairly new stainless steel Kitchenaid) was "uneconomical to repair". When I called AHS to inquire about this, I got rerouted to their appliance department and was put on hold for 2.5 hours (I'm not kidding) waiting for someone to talk to me.

    Through brute perseverance and calling incessantly day after day, I finally got through to someone at AHS who looked into the dishwasher value, giving us significantly under market value for what it was worth. To salt our wounds, they said they didn't have any replacements dishwashers available "for at least 3 months" so they agreed to write us a check instead (again, for a value that you couldn't buy a new dishwasher for). While the check was said to be coming in the mail, we bit the bullet and bought a new dishwasher out of pocket (it had been months by then since we had a functional one). To summarize, we made our first service request in September, and it's now December and we STILL haven't received this elusive check. I'm currently on hold with AHS writing this review. And yes, we're still paying $80 a month for their "service".

There was a little tiny plastic part that was broken off. The tech figured that problem out really quickly and got it taken care of. He had to order a little hinge for the seal. Our refrigerator is working great now. From the time we submitted the claim until the refrigerator was repaired, that took three days which was pretty quick. That issue was handled great.

    We also had a plumbing experience with AHS and I was a little disappointed in that one. Right after we moved in, we had a drain pipe that was leaking upstairs. AHS wouldn’t take care of the plumbing pipe. It was 150 bucks that had to come out of my pocket. AHS should be more specific on what they cover and what they don't cover. On their sheet, it says that if there's any broken plumbing, they will replace it. In my case, it was a pipe that was broken and they wouldn't pay for that pipe to be replaced. I was kind of dumbfounded by that one. My other insurance took care of all the abatement and everything so it came out okay.

    Anybody buying a new or older house should make sure they get something for the home. If you walk into a home that you bought with appliances that are a little bit older, you would definitely want to have something to fall back on. We moved in and we had the refrigerator problem and the little plumbing problem. Now I'm going to be getting a hold of AHS again because I want them to do a check on the dishwasher because I'm having some issues with that. The appliances are older.

    I entered my request early hours in the morning on a Monday (5:30). AHS assigned it and soon after North West Aircare opened, they called me and we had it scheduled early afternoon. They came, they fixed it and left. This process was very easy. In all fairness, NWA has been doing business under other names, supporting other contractors for AHS. This guy's been to my house three times over the past several years. I knew the guy personally. I open the door and it’s like, “Oh it’s you.

    In a particular incident, the plumbing guy and the dishwashing guy have been fighting back and forth saying the claim was not their problem. It was a dishwasher problem but then they said the dishwasher problem was a plumbing problem. It's been going back and forth for about a month or two. I got ahold of American Home Shield and they are going to send the dishwasher guy back out again to document everything then go from there to see if it's really a plumbing issue or not. From that perspective, it's frustrating.

    I do my claims online but once in a while, I do it by phone. American Home Shield is pretty great overall. It's fast and efficient. The technician was good. With exception to the particular incident mentioned, the other issues that I've had were okay. They bring out somebody here right away and fix the problem. But sometimes, I feel like the people they contract are not really listening to us and are not figuring out what the real problem is.

    American Home Shield has helped me with my AC unit. We got two of those and one or the other usually requires service every summer. Recently, one of the units wasn't coming on and we got two up in the attic. It seems like every year, the igniter on one or the other goes bad. Rescue Your Air came out the same day, which I did not expect. The guy must have been hanging around the block somewhere. It was usually the next day or so. He worked on it. It's fine now.

    I had a claim for a new garbage disposal and that was done marvelously, efficiently, and quickly. The tech guy absolutely wasted no time. He didn't talk and chat. He just went at it and it was done in 15 minutes. The man’s a winner. Home Shield's plumbers have been pretty good. The service people for AC and heat are not excellent but very good nonetheless. Generally, my claims have turned out quite right for 75 bucks. But there have been too many of them lately probably because our house is getting older. For a while, I didn't see the value of Home Shield because nothing broke down. But a slew of things broke down and Home Shield has proven its worth most of the time.

    I've utilized American Home Shield quite a bit. It's a great asset. The house is getting older, and then I just lost my husband, it’s like, “Oh my goodness, I don't know what to do, where to call, how to call. Oh my God, is it covered?” The first thing that happens is calling and seeing if it’s covered. Overall, my experience has been great. The last company that came out was Geo Plumbing. There was a leak in the upper bathroom shower, and it caused secondary damage on the ceiling in the kitchen. When the plumber came out, he determined that it wasn't a leak, but a drip. He fixed the faucet.

    The room has been empty for two months, but when we went into the bathroom, the faucet somehow was turned the opposite way. I don't know how, except the kids are back and forth in that room. I still had a drip. The secondary damage that was caused, that was completed. The plumber didn't have to do anything with that because we figured out where it was coming from. Where you have the hot and cold water, I just have one round circle that you turn to get to the hot and cold. That’s where the drip is. He said he was gonna come back and change it, but he never did.

    I called the plumber before I called American Home Shield and he said that it was an add-on. It wasn’t a non-repair. The bottom line is I paid $75, and I still have a drip. Whether they do it as an add-on or come back out, I'm not paying another $75. Geo Plumbing called me earlier this afternoon, and I told them I will call them back within an hour, but time got away. I plan to call them this evening. Even if he can't come until Monday, that's fine too.

    I have been protected with American Home Shield for quite some time. It was my first house and I've been in this house for 10 years. There were some things that weren’t covered and some things that were. I'm okay with that. I’ve had a washing machine as well as a microwave replaced before. The thing with the microwave was a double whammy. They had to replace the microwave and the oven. It wasn’t what I’m was expecting, but I appreciated it because it was an all-in-one. However, I don't know if they changed management or if it's a new company, but it seems a little different. When I had a refrigerator issue, Home Shield came out and fixed the motherboard, but that wasn't the problem. I had a leak inside of the refrigerator.

    American Home Shield had sent me an email and said that they couldn’t repair it, so they were gonna replace it, which I thought, “Awesome.” GE Appliances is where they get it from. Now, this has been since July, so I’ve been calling back and forth. They didn’t have the sterling silver in stock. I even settled for the black because the top of my microwave is black. I wasn’t gonna go crazy over a refrigerator. I wanted a white one, but I would have accepted the black one and then all of a sudden, “Black one’s not available.” “Okay. I’ll wait.” I’ve been waiting and waiting. I was gonna write a letter to the company, but I couldn't get a home address. I ended up contacting the Better Business Bureau.

    COVID messed up life for everybody. I understand COVID and I don't have a problem with that, but since July? That’s a long time. Now they're telling me they want to offer me an e-card. The e-card is from Lowe's and they're only offering $998 on it. The refrigerator was here when I got here and the type that I have is 1,428. I asked them, “So, is GE Profile the only place you can get it from?” If they're gonna give me a Lowe’s e-card, the refrigerator is at Lowe’s. I’ve seen it. I even tried to check it out on Black Friday and see if maybe it went down some. It didn’t. If I accept the e-card and go to Lowe’s, my issue is I have to put up an additional $600 and then I have to have them deliver it and hook it up.

    Also, if they’re gonna give me a Lowe’s e-card, why not just make the e-card for the amount of the refrigerator? Now, if they said at the beginning, “Well, we're not gonna replace it. We're only gonna give you 900,” then I would have had to deal with that, but they said, “We're going to replace it.” It has to be replaced. I was definitely satisfied with American Home Shield before the refrigerator issue and I have recommended it, but they should get me my refrigerator.

    The appliance company that came for the washing machine was rude, very brash and did not answer questions. They called for guidance from their boss in another language. I don't want them in the house again. I was surprised because we’ve always had a home warranty and I was gratified that the actual people we needed were following up. But when I asked the original appliance person if that was it, it was done. He was ready to leave because he did his job, without an explanation. Then the technician from Stanford Electric that came out for electrical problems was good. Doing local is always good if possible. But the ones that are not from our area don’t seem to be helpful.

    I had an outlet that shorted out, so all my outside units were not working. The GFCI blew. The contractor came out and checked and tested everything. They had to order the parts and then about four days later, they came and replaced the outside units and the GFCI that was tripped. This claim process worked great. But for air conditioning, it was horrible. The coil went bad but AHS wouldn't replace it. So we had to replace the whole unit. They only covered $700 but the unit cost four grand. There was another instance when I had them send me a check to replace the coil in the AC because they said they couldn't find it. I know a guy that owns a AC company, and he called the supply house and they had several in stock. So it was a blatant lie. They wanted to get the money.

    I had a big issue with my refrigerator and so many people came to my house to say that it wasn't working. It took forever.

I was calling them all the time but they were not reaching out to me to tell me what was gonna happen. So I was really disappointed in their service and the way they tackled this whole thing with my refrigerator. In the past, they've always been quite efficient and good. But this time, it was terrible not having a fridge with everybody in the house. So I'm not happy with that. Appliance Tech was the third company that came out and they were great. They did whatever they had to do and then AHS finally took care of it. But I still like AHS. I would still tell my friends it's great if you're not fix-it type of people.

When the repair guy came, the service was timely and he took care of the problem.

    The Sears tech earnestly tried to fix the dishwasher, which was in great shape except for it would turn on and no water would come in. We had that problem once a long time back and somebody else fixed it. This time, he replaced about three things on it and it should have worked, but it didn't. The issue turned out to be a panel and it had to be replaced but there was no replacement for my model dishwasher so they had to replace the dishwasher. But the replacement is not anything close to our Maytag dishwasher. We had a Maytag with all digital stuff and touch and the replacement has a lever and a knob. And the quality is pretty low. We could have gone up and paid money but if we did that, then AHS wouldn't pay for the installation and all that kind of stuff so we took the replacement.

    I was on hold for over an hour and a half and got hung up on three times trying to get hold of the person that does the buying but once we determined that we had to replace it, everybody that I talked to is fine about that. Also, nobody notified us the techs were coming. We didn't get any more emails and then, 15 minutes before they came, they called us and said they were coming to bring the replacement and install it. But they were very polite and they had on masks and gloves - except for one who didn't have gloves and who took his mask down a few times. The rest of them did a really great job. They were very fast and organized.

    But we've had no furnace or air conditioner for four months now. We have inspections done every year and when somebody came to inspect, he said we need a new furnace and air conditioner. We called AHS and they sent somebody out. He flipped the switch on the furnace and he said it started up, therefore we don't need anything. Also, we decided we had to do the duct because there was some kind of growth in there that was making me sick with allergy. The techs could not guarantee that just cleaning it would get rid of all of the growth so we decided on new ductwork. But AHS wouldn't cover the ductwork.

    Another guy was sent out who told me the air conditioner has to be replaced and the furnace has a part in it which has to be replaced with a part that will match the air condition they plan on putting in. We were gonna just do the furnace and wait on the air conditioner till we need it but the furnace part has to be the right one so the tech said we can't. He told us he was going to give the report to AHS that we need a new furnace, etc, but we haven't heard one word back from AHS. We've decided to just hang in there until the virus gets better enough where we're not afraid to have somebody come in and do all this stuff. The service people that AHS uses are great and the people within the company I've dealt with are very good. But it has not been a good experience with AHS and they're also extremely expensive.

    I had a leak in my ceiling. The first company that American Home Shield sent was nice but they didn't have a resolution for the leak. The tech was not experienced. It was a younger person who was sent out and he didn't help. So, I called AHS and said that I wanted a second opinion which I know I'm able to do with them. They said "sure" and sent somebody from Accu-Plumbing. The guy was older and highly experienced. He did such a thorough diagnosis of what could be happening and checked so much more than the first guy. He found what the issue was and diagnose it. I was very pleased that they sent him and I kept their card because of how pleased I was.

    For all the 15 years that I've had American Home Shield, I would recommend them. There are times that I didn't think they sent someone that I was pleased with. But, I've learned that I could just call them and say that the technicians didn't know what they were doing and I want things fixed right. They have always responded. Also, the cost goes up some every year. I've talked people into getting a home warranty more than I've talked them into going with AHS. Some of those I've talked to have gone directly to AHS because of my recommendations. Many of my family and friends have gone with a different home warranty though because those were a bit cheaper. I probably get better service, but the costs are high.

    Sometimes, I have to ask for a second opinion with AHS. They can't control every single vendor who wants to work with them. If I have something that's outside of what would be covered, like fixing the outside of my gutters, and I'm very pleased with one of the vendors that I've had work on something with AHS, I keep their information. I've never left AHS all this time and it's been worth it for me as a single person.

The gentleman who came out and fixed the leak went above and beyond. He had to exchange out the thing that holds the water in the sink and he had all the parts in his car. He was even a little bit worried because the silver color didn't 100% match, which I thought was very kind of him. I didn’t care because you can't tell the difference. So, he was great.

    American Home Shield sent somebody out to fix my microwave above the stove and compared to the most recent one, it wasn’t as good.

    Something with my dryer's motherboard went out. It took three weeks for AHS to get the part in and then The Appliance Guyscame. It took so long to get the part. Other than that, the issue got fixed and now everything is working correctly. I recommend to everybody that buys a home to purchase this type of plan 'cause it has been very helpful for me throughout the years.

    My oven is not working properly, and it needs a new part. Home Shield was supposed to order the part. They told me they ordered it on the 4th. But I still haven't heard back about what is going on with it. Typically, it takes them forever to figure out if the part can come in. And then, if the part comes in, I never hear if the part came in or not. I have to call them to find out if the part came in.

    It was like with my cooktop. My cooktop cracked. They told me they would replace the part. I said, “No, just replace the part. I'm okay with waiting for you to replace the part.” But they never called me about the part. They never got it. I had to call them and say, “My cooktop has been broken for about four months. When are you going to find the part?” “Oh, we're sorry, we couldn't get the part.” “But no one called me to tell me you couldn't get the part.” I'm just hoping it won't be four months that I gotta wait for them to find the part. Also, I'm usually on hold for at least an hour. Do not even bother with Home Shield and call someone who could do it cheaper.

    The garbage disposal in my house was making ridiculous sounds. While I was looking into it, I also noticed that there was some water coming out from one of the pipes underneath, going into the sewer line. I went to American Home Shield's website and it was a hassle-free experience. On my own, I was able to create a ticket online. They confirmed it through emails and text messages. They scheduled this company, BWS Heating and Air Conditioning, very easily. The company called me the next day. They had the name of the guy and a picture and then they emailed me.

    Around Thanksgiving, they told me that it's going to be delayed. They offered me a better date that suited my schedule and the guy was here first thing on a Friday morning after Thanksgiving. He looked at the garbage disposal, talked to me, and then he said he would take care of it. He went in for an authorization. He also took all the right precautions related to COVID. He was masked and covered all his shoes. He took care of stuff, educated me what needs to take place, and got the work done in two hours. It was a very good experience. I was very pleased and happy. I have tried a few home warranty companies before and by far, American Home Shield is the best. I'm really impressed.

He was here in 10 minutes and he was on time. He also did a good job. He wasn't the cleanest and didn't have the newest of tools, but he did his job. Other than that, American Home Shield's premium is kind of high, especially for the $75. And so many things are not on the warranty. But if you can afford it, it's nice to have.

    Scheduling the service was easy. The person who came out was excellent. He was a person with some great experience. He was patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. He found a cranked hole where moisture comes through it and fixed it, where other people struggled with it before. With American Home Shield, I'm getting what I'm paying for. I like that the home warranty is there when things need to be serviced on a regular basis, so the cost is gonna be fixed to service it. If something else is wrong, they get to fix it.

    Mr. Electric Twyman came out for the duplex plug underneath the sink in the kitchen. It needed to be replaced. One side didn't work, and the other side didn't look good. It was that bad. It was there since 1968. That was for my dishwasher and my garbage disposal. Another thing was we paid for American Home Shield for several months, and then this outlet down here decided to give us a fit. The tech talked to us ahead of time because he couldn't come out immediately. He had other things going. But a few days later, he was able to schedule us in and he told us to run an extension cord on the one that was still working so we could run the dishwasher. We didn't use it. We unplugged the garbage disposal and worked with that. But at least we got the dishwasher going until he got out here. He was quick and knew was he was doing. We were pleased with him.

    The repairmen came right on out and took care of what needed to be taken care of. Both of them did a good job and everything's working fine now. They were professional and they cleaned up behind themselves as well. Normally, everything works fine with our claims. The only difficulty we had this time around was at first, each company that American Home Shield tried to schedule a repair with told them that they would come out. After we didn't hear from any of the companies, we called them. A couple of them told us they didn't work for them anymore.

    That was disappointing and it upset us about what was going on, but American Home Shield eventually resolved the problem. They got a company that was reputable and they kept their scheduled appointment. We also have another claim, and we're still waiting on the guy with Appliance Ace to return to work on our washing machine. He had to order a couple of parts, but we haven't heard from him and we need to call him. All in all, we had a problem with those last scheduling, but all the years we've been with the warranty company, they've been good. I have recommended three people to American Home Shield.

They came in the following week and they were pretty quick in getting it replaced and everything working right. So overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the whole process.

    We have many accounts with American Home Shield. I called two weeks ago and asked for servicing on three appliances in my home. The freezers in my fridge are not working. The dishwasher, for some reason, wasn't working. That one was easy to solve. So, that was a no-brainer. I guess somebody turned the water off under my sink for the dishwasher. That was all done. But then, the headache was I called and the gal that was the agent I was speaking with did not understand that my hood was different than my cooktop. So, she put the order in that my cooktop was not working. I never did say cooktop. I was trying to help her understand. A cooktop is something that sits on top of the counter, and not a range with the exhaust fan attached to the stove.

    As soon as I figured out when I called the appliance company, and that was supposed to be, originally, with West Coast Appliance, I said, “I'm trying to schedule this appointment this week with you guys. You should have all the claim information right there.” The rep said, “Okay, that's fine. But the hood can't be with us because that's electrical, and we only do appliances.” So, I called AHS again and I said, “We need to fix this. I need the cooktop.” I argued with this young lady. I was on the phone for an hour, but she did not still understand the difference from the cooktop and a range with the hood separate. She said, “Oh, no, I have to cancel the whole claim and start over.” So, she went ahead and scheduled only for the cooktop, and she canceled everything else. I sat waiting for three hours with no one showing up because she canceled the whole thing without calling me and helping me understand.

    I explained it very clearly. A range is a slide-in unit that has the oven and cooktop together. Sometimes, the exhaust fan’s built-in there. The cooktop is on the counter. Supposedly, the lady finally put in the hood. So, when I called, they changed the appliance company to AT Appliance because they had somebody that could do the hood. They scheduled that. But then, they didn't have the rest of my repair with the freezer and the dishwasher. She screwed that up. So, now, West Coast is scheduled for my hood. As far as AT Appliance, I had to call back and reschedule the whole thing all over again.

    Finally, they came out and took care of the freezer, the dishwasher, and the hood. West Coast is at my house right now trying to fix my hood. In the last couple of years, I have had the worst customer service with AHS. We lived in another home, and AHS was fine. The customer service was handled very nicely. They knew what they were saying and what they were talking about, and understood what the service call should be about. But since then, the last couple of years have been terrible. With the customer service person that I had on the phone, she would make me not want to talk about AHS ever to my friends. That was that terrible. I'm really ticked off because she got the whole thing screwed up and did not say, “Okay, so let's reschedule everything else.” She neglected that on her part.

    On the other service calls, my husband’s the one that’s been working on that situation. With the other two policies we have for the other homes that we own, I don't think there's been any issue at all. I'm really ticked off about this experience, though. On top of that, I asked for a supervisor. There was no supervisor to speak to to try and help the agent who is misinformed or doesn't have knowledge about that type of appliance, or about what AHS is offering for service calls. She did not listen to the customer. If she's an agent that represents the company, she should have knowledge of different types of equipment and appliance pieces. She should be able to know, “Okay, I have a commercial oven. And if I give her the model, she should be able to pick that right up and figure that out.” She’s not resourceful with her stuff that she has in her office when she's on the phone with a client.

    I have a smell in my garbage disposal, and I had a faucet that was leaking. My home is very old from the 40s. So, the techs couldn't get the parts to fix the leak. They ordered it, and it took about a month. Then, the guy who did it was awesome. The customer service side of it was awesome in that way. But the part they ordered, the handle only turns the wrong way. It doesn't turn the right way. Our garbage disposal never got fixed.

    When I first bought the house and got the warranty, submitting claims was very difficult. My heat wasn’t working. When they finally came, it was 54 degrees in the house. Then, they couldn’t fix it because it’s such an old house. So, they were just gonna pay me out for it, but they weren’t gonna pay me out for the cost of replacing the heat for what an old unit would have been. It ended up being a huge hassle.

    Finally, just because I'm in California, they had to pay me the full amount. They were going to try to just have me get someone else to kind of like shimmy it together, and then they would pay for that. They just gave me the money so then I had someone come in and completely redo the system. So, it just covered a portion. They weren't gonna give me any money until I showed them a receipt that had the repair done the way they wanted the repair done as opposed to the value of the item.

    American Home Shield could be more responsive and improve in following up. The first time, the problem was the first company never came. I didn't know how long it was supposed to take before I heard from the company. Then they had to find another company out of the area. AHS could do communication within seven days of like, “Did your person contact you?” I would have been like, “Oh, no.” Until it was finally a month, and I said, “Why hasn’t anyone contacted me?” That would have helped.

    There were three appliances that we needed help with. That was the refrigerator, the stove and the dishwasher. For the stove, the guy said it was just a bad bulb. I had an extra bulb so we changed it and the bulb has been working. The refrigerator has a bottom drawer for the freezer. The seal on the bottom drawer was faulty and the air and moisture were getting into the freezer. It was getting encrusted with ice. He came back and replaced the seal on just the freezer drawer. The dishwasher was the one that was a bit tricky. There were two problems with it. There are two washer arms and he replaced the lower one. He didn't say what was wrong. We had to wait for the part between the first and second visit.

    It turned out that there was a problem outside the dishwasher that was affecting it. He said that some of the problems inside the dishwasher had to do with excess calcium in the water supply so he instructed me on what product to buy to try to clear up the minerals. I did that once and it did help. He seemed to know what all the problems were immediately and addressed all of them. He was pleasant, professional, very knowledgeable and very skillful. We went through everything and he listened to everything. We had to change both appointments a few times and the company was responsive in changing the appointments for me. He still showed up on the right day and time even though I had to change it. They gave me notice right before he showed up too to let me know that he was coming soon.

    AHS is a good service. I'm glad that I have it because if I didn't, I probably would have just bought a new dishwasher without fixing it. In this case, that would have been kind of a waste. There was a problem inside but that did not require replacing the machine. For the water problem, I would not have revealed that without the technician coming. I was a little bit surprised that I had a co-pay but that was because I didn't look at the details of the warranty when I got it a year ago. I didn't know until I made the appointment that I was gonna have to spend more money. But it was still less than what I would have spent if I didn't have the warranty. I would have spent at least 600 bucks but I spent 75 bucks instead plus the cleaning solution which I needed anyway. Overall, the 75 bucks was worth it. As far as the future goes, I'm not inclined to renew because I feel like if I pay 500, 500, 500, I'd rather put the money towards replacing the appliance than paying for warranties.

    I've had several companies and AHS, if I took my whole experience and put a grade from 1 to 10, 1 being terrible, 10 being fabulous, they are about a 5. They're about 50%. They get a C. But that's the overall service. I've had billing problems. I've had other issues. They didn't work very well. AHS replaced the refrigerator, dishwasher, and part of a water heater. They wouldn't do the whole thing. I had things break down within a year and a half and a lot of things had to be replaced. They couldn't be repaired. They just fizzled out. So, AHS did a good job with that. Because I had some high-end appliances. I had Bosch and Samsung appliances, and they replaced those. My refrigerator cost me $1,500 because it was a nice, big, stainless steel Samsung one.

    They all cost money, and in these things, the name of the game is to be cost-effective. Have better training for their customer service personnel, have more customer service personnel so you don't have to call and wait forever. I had that experience several times. I didn't like that at all. I got charged a couple of times for a service call, but they didn't do anything. They just came out, looked and said, “Oh, we don't do that kind of work.” And charged me $75. I didn't appreciate that. That could be a lot better. There are a lot of things that could be better. They don't pay these customer service people very much. They’re entry-level positions. So, it's hard to get quality people if you don't pay them decently.

    ***AHS will probably reply to this review (as they have to others) saying they'd be glad to discuss the issue with me. If that's the case, AHS you can call me. I've reached out enough and I'm not jazzed by the results. Here are my request #s: ** Filed service request on 11/6, still no resolution. Appliance company has been here 3 times, each time they determine the issue is something different than they thought so they have to schedule another visit, but they have to go through AHS each time (they send a diagnosis report to AHS, and AHS gives them the OK to schedule another visit).

    Meanwhile, on one of the visits, the appliance company determined at least part of the issue is electrical, so now we're trying to work with AHS on both an electrician and appliance company. We STILL haven't had an electrician come (it's been 33 days). We've been bounced between two electrical companies AHS has assigned. Both companies have been BARELY reachable by phone (the first not at all, the second just barely). I've spent over two hours on the phone with AHS trying to expedite the electrician visit to no avail. They were supposed to come today - by late afternoon I hadn't heard anything so I call them, and the electrician tells me his guys are on a job 30 mins away and getting to us is just too much of a drive. Maybe Saturday. Maybe Monday. What kind of service is that?

    Back to the appliance company. It's been a week since the their last visit and no one had reached out to schedule the next (4th!) visit. Called them to see when they'd be back out, and they said AHS hasn't even communicated back with them. Mind you, I have been on the phone with AHS (regarding the electrical side of this same case) 3 times in the last week. Why didn't any of their customer service reps catch that there was an action item related to the appliance company and address it?!

    Between the appliance company, the electrician, and AHS, none of the parties involved seems capable of communicating with one another or taking initiative to get the customer's problem resolved. Each time there's the smallest issue or complexity, the process will stall and the customer will have to call AHS to jump-start the process back up again. Even then, you may still be unsuccessful and find yourself having to call back again days later. Each time, you'll be on the phone 20-30 minutes and placed on multiple holds while AHS reaches out to the contractor to "verify" the information you've provided. AHS does not care and takes no initiative to ensure your issue is resolved. Prepare to be frustrated, have your time wasted, and have your issue remain unresolved months later.

    AHS left an active leak from a pipe in my home for 3 days. On the 3rd day I paid a plumber $623 to fix it. AHS has refused to reimburse this cost. This started on 11/30/2020 when I discovered a leaking pipe in my wall. It was squirting hot water everywhere. I immediately called AHS and reported the problem and the urgency to have it fixed under my account. I turned off the hot water to the home, which reduced the flow of water but the pipe was still leaking. They assigned my order to a plumber who could not come out until 12/15.

    I could not wait 2 weeks, so I canceled the appointment and I called AHSevery day (12/1, 12/2, 12/3, and 12/4) trying to get someone out to fix the pipe, as well as ask to speak to a supervisor. I told everyone I spoke to that I needed a plumber out NOW because my pipe was actively leaking. I was told I needed to wait 48 hours for a plumbing service to call me back. I told them it was urgent and they said they had flagged the work order as urgent.

    On 12/2 I told them I had waited 48 hours, please send someone. They disputed this and said my order had only been sitting in the queue for 1 day. I had them review the order. I requested to be reimbursed after hiring someone to fix the pipe. A representative said my order needed to sit in the queue for an additional 48 hours before that could happen. During my calls, everyone I spoke to said they would call me back. Nobody from AHS or a plumbing service ever once called me back. Not even once did anyone call me back. I had an open leaky pipe inside my home and my family did not have hot water from 11/30 until 12/2.

    On 12/2, I was left with no choice but to hire a local plumber to come out and repair the pipe to stop the water damage and to restore hot water to my home. I asked to speak to an AHS supervisor on each occasion and I was either disconnected, hung up on or told that a supervisor was not available. On 12/4 AHS said they could not cover my plumbing expenses because I did not wait for their approval before having a plumber come out. I explained to her that I had waited 3 days with an open leaking hot water pipe in my home and it was causing damage the entire time it was leaking and my family did not have hot water. I told her I had called AHS every day and told them of the urgency and active leak. I had not heard back from AHS or a plumber for that entire time.

    I had no choice but to fix the leak as I could not allow water to continue to damage to my home. She did not care and said they could not reimburse me because I did not wait for approval before hiring a plumber. I then waited on hold for 60 minutes in hopes of speaking to a supervisor. I never did get to speak to a supervisor, instead I got to speak to the same representative some more. I called on 12/8 and asked for a reimbursement of my service fee of $100. They agreed to refund that fee. I never got to speak to a supervisor despite asking to on 11/30, 12/1, 12/2, 12/3, and 12/4.

    I submit claims online and it's a simple process, but American Home Shield should cover more than what they cover. It was a lot that was needed to be done with my last order. Drain GO came out three times. First time they came out, they didn't find a problem. Second time they came out, "Oh, yeah. You definitely have a problem. I'll need to replace your cartridge." They replaced the cartridge and two weeks later, something started leaking again. They said I needed a regulator, an expansion tank and a pipe. The only thing that American Home Shield paid for is the regulator. I had to come out of pocket with $579. My home is only eight years old, so it's not that it's out of code. They wouldn't cover some parts. I've had other claims, but they were minor stuff, so they covered it. All in all, you won't know what they will or will not cover until you come across things.

    I was in the process of renewing my home warranty because when I originally bought the house, the company that they had put us with was already done. I just did some research. And I have a relative that uses the same company. So, American Home Shield came recommended as well. Recently, the icemaker stopped working. It didn’t make ice anymore. I filed a claim online and the website is good. It then told me that the contractor would make contact with me within 24 hours, which they did the very next day. SRL Services came out and looked at my icemaker on my refrigerator and my microwave oven. Their service was great. They contacted me the next day, made an appointment. They were out there within three days. And then they repaired it.

    I had another issue with the same icemaker three weeks later. Something froze up so the water was spraying and the icemaker was making a block of ice. I just contacted American Home Shield again and went through the same deal. The contractor contacted me the very next day, came back the next day, and fixed it. Since the second time they came out and did what the tech did, it’s working fine. We went from having no ice down to having ice. American Home Shield was great. I have made a couple claims and they both went off without a hitch.

    Sears came for my stove and I liked the tech. He was a nice guy and he was very efficient. He knew right away what the problem was. There was a code that came up on the stove and he was able to look it up and see what it was. He ordered the part and then rescheduled my appointment. About a month after I moved into my house, I had air conditioning problems. It took five times of techs coming back before somebody could figure out what the issue was. The techs would leave and I would call them back. Then it would take two weeks for them to come again. One guy told me my filter was dirty and he put a new one in my unit. That was in June and July and it was miserable as I had no air conditioning. The service carrier AHS used then was absolutely horrible. Sears was great though.

    I had an interesting call because originally, I did the request online and American Home Shield assigned me an appliance service. When the guy called, he said, “You know what? This isn't gonna work. Let me get someone else over.” and then he said to me, “It'll be a week and a half, two weeks before I can get out there.” As soon as I called American Home Shield back, the girl went, “What do you mean a week and a half out? I'll get you someone right away.” She canceled the first guy and went right to the next guy. It was unbelievable. The next guy called me within an hour and a half and said, “I can come by now, but within an hour.”

    I said, “Within an hour?” This was an older man who knew what he was doing. He wasn't a young kid who was new in the business. He's always busy, but he came the same day. He’s such a personable guy and he did good electrical work as well. I bought a thermometer for the refrigerator and now I know exactly what the temperature is. That's also how I knew there was a problem with my refrigerator freezer. It wasn't holding the temperature correctly. The reason it wasn't holding it right was because the gaskets weren't properly closing. The refrigerator was not level, which was a stupid thing, but I never would've thought about that. When the guy saw it, he goes, “Well, it's out of level.” I said, “What do you mean it’s out of level?”

    He goes, "Well, you can see it." and then he did all kinds of things to level the refrigerator up, which is phenomenal. How many people are going to take the time to do that? He got the temperature right on. It was unbelievably good. In fact, it was over and above what the guy could have done. I was really happy with the guy. I have a warranty and I gave him a $20 tip. That's how good he was. It makes a difference when you get someone that's really good. You're paying for service, but you're getting a discount too. It's nice to get someone who comes over and does a nice job. I have two houses. I have another house that’s with American Home Shield too. They have someone coming out to the other house on Wednesday and I hope the other one is just as good.

    American Home Shield advertised a check-up for the furnace for $75. The guy that came out was really good. After he left and the furnace kicked on, I was downstairs and it made a noise. So I called them. They came back in here. The door was caulked and he fixed it. Last week, I got two emails from American Home Shield wanting me to pay $75 for them rescheduling me for furnace check-ups, and I already had that and I already paid the $75. Now, I haven't heard any more, they haven't taken any money out of my account, and I don't know if this is coming from them or from somebody else. I did call him on the first one and they said, "No, you're not even scheduled. You were done in October. No, we don't have nothing on here for you."

    American Home Shield's claim submission process is really easy. I was surprised they had Sears come in here because I didn't think there was any Sears people still around. If they can't fix it, then they usually have someone that comes in and takes care of it. I've only had that happen once.

The same soundtrack is played over and over again. The response time is atrocious. When I got ahold of somebody last week, they couldn't answer the question about where the microwave is. They said that they are going to have somebody call me within 24 to 48 hours. It's been about 96 hours.

    American Home Shield also offers a payout but it is not the same stuff for what you have to pay out-of-pocket for it. And if you ask for payout, it doesn't include installation. That's an additional fee. In my case for my stove, it was an additional $400 that they paid for the stove on top of the extra $200 that I had to pay to get the stove versus what they gave me for payment. In my case, American Home Shield paid up more than they collected.

    The garage door had a problem with its connection with the vehicles and the remote control. The issue was the board of the motor. The technician came and immediately, he recognized what the problem was. He looked for a replacement in his car and fixed it. I'm very happy with things. AHS better not change anything. Their customer service and claim submission process are perfect. Go with American Home Shield. have heard people having other companies not having the same type of service. When I get an issue, I just book my service online and the next day, they're calling me.
