    I love AHS's app. It is well automated and I don't have to speak to anybody. You go online, talk it through and afterwards, people call you to schedule the appointment. And you get text messages. When I had a bad oven, AHS sent Rob's Appliance. They were brilliant, very helpful and got everything done. Moreover, the guy was fantastic. They took one day to figure out what the problem was. Then they then had to order the part because it was a special order part. All in, it took a total of three days to get the repair done.

    The people who came out to fix our dryer were very good. I was very pleased. The first time the guy came out, he had the dryer running and doing well. But when we tested it, we only tested it in the normal cycle since we figured the sensors were burned out. He checked the sensors and replaced them, and the dryer worked fine. But then it just stopped working. So I sent another report. We thought the repairman probably should've replaced another part. He came back out and the element was gone. He replaced the other element and again, it worked for about a day and a half. We ran several loads but then my wife needed to do a light load and as soon as she switched it over, the system burned out.

    When I told the repairman, he said “Aha. So you've been paying attention." I try to pay attention. Electronics are tricky and you really have to pay attention to them. I'm retired military and I'm used to electronics. But not many people would be really paying that much attention to it. The repairman checked the dryer and sure enough, the part was gone. The dryer apparently had a problem with its circuit board. But they were not able to get a new panel for it so they said they would have to replace the dryer. Then since our washer is the same brand anyway and just as old, we decided that we would spend the extra money ourselves and replace both washer and dryer so that they would look alike. It’d be more pleasing to look at.

    We've been with American Home Shield for a little longer than a year now. We decided we were just gonna have to do American Home Shield after the compressor of our refrigerator went. We had it replaced and the compressor was within the 10-year warranty so that was taken care of but we still had to pay about $400 for the service fee and the maintenance people to repair it. But normally, it would have been a 1,000-dollar job. The compressor itself was a 500 to 600-dollar item. When we got the home, the neighbors said we ought to just go ahead and do American Home Shield. One of them said they had shopped around and settled for American Home Shield. This is the first time we’ve actually had to use them and we're quite happy with them.

    The only problem I had with submitting a claim online was that the first time I went on there, I also had a dishwasher that needed to have some repair but I had to file a separate repair order for that. I guessed that was normal but on the third time, I was told I should be able to submit more than one on a work order. When I clicked the button for that, everything else was locked out though. I could not submit anything else.

    Aside from that, there was only one thing that blew me a little bit. Once I was told American Home Shield was gonna replace the dryer, I got an email that said they had closed out the account and I had a form asking me to rate the maintenance people. It said, “Hey, your thing is fixed. How about rating me on the work that I did?” I went, “Whoa! What is this?” I totally missed a step and I called the guy that did the work and he explained.

    The maintenance man should have a box that they can check, saying, “Closing out the account. American Home Shield will contact you for further service or replacement.” If it said that when that email came to me, I would know then that I would grade the maintenance person on the work they did and American Home Shield would contact me. The maintenance person should have a box that something is marked "fixed" or "not reparable". American Home Shield's system needs to do something to let us know that they would close out that account but they are still going to continue working with us to replace the item. It would give the customer a little bit more ease instead of thinking American Home Shield was leaving the customer hanging with a broken piece of equipment. It's just a glitch in the system that can be fixed if somebody paid attention to it.

    Nobody from American Home Shield followed up with me right away either. About a day and a half after I had spoken to my maintenance guy, then American Home Shield did contact, which my man had already said they would do. But the minute they closed that account, the email was here right away and I was sitting there saying it was not fixed. I could’ve called American Home Shield to find out what was going on but it was actually easier when I called the maintenance guy's number. It’s a lot harder sometimes getting ahold of a person at a bigger company. If I call their number, sometimes I get voicemail. I had also established rapport with my maintenance man.

    Still, I was very satisfied. As far as when American Home Shield did contact me, everything has been fantastic. I was given all the options of what I could do. They could do the replacement or I could do the replacement and send them the data. At this point, we've already purchased a washer and dryer but we aren’t quite happy with it. It’s bigger than what we need and it doesn’t fit right in our space. But we have 30 days to exchange it so we’re gonna be contacting the dealership and have them get a smaller one. Once we have that, we would have the proper numbers and we will submit that number to American Home Shield.

    Appliance Company came out to install an over-the-range microwave. People came out and the guy said the old one couldn’t be fixed. I did my claim with American Home Shield over the phone. And the first time, they referred me to an appliance company, but they couldn’t get here for a week. So, we killed that one and AHS gave me another one that came the next day. AHS sent the new microwave to my home and once it was here, I met a plumber to get it installed. He knew what he was doing. He was good. I renewed my AHS policy several years ago. I like them.

    I’m very satisfied with American Home Shield. Moonstar came out for a GE refrigerator and a GE dishwasher. The latter wasn’t working, and the former had an issue with the water dispenser. Submitting the claim over the phone went pretty good. The tech was professional and did the job properly. The dishwasher was not done the first day, though. It was behind some tool kit, so the tech had to remove it. I think there’s some issue and I don’t know why. He probably did not have the right tools the first day.

    Our air conditioner went out. A little lizard got up in the system and fried some wires. The lizard probably got electrocuted. I submitted a claim online to AHS and the technician came out that very day. However, he said that, because of the cost that he would need to get approval to proceed. So, he came back another day to complete the job. But thank goodness, we had a cool wave, so we didn't need air conditioning. The technician was excellent. We’re very happy to have AHS.

I sell homes in real estate, so I always tell people to get home warranty. I then thought that we might as well get one in case something comes up -- we got it this year. It is a good warranty to have and we are probably going to stick with it.

    I bought two new contracts and Home Shield was supposed to take the money out on the 23rd. But I called before then and I said I didn't want them to start the warranty until April 3rd. The guy told me he had done everything and that no money would be taken out until then. But on the 25th, they took out the money from my account, $90 for the two warranties. Other than that, I called in a claim for the furnace and FJ Murphy & Sons came out. They were very nice. They put in a new furnace and everything was alright.

    We've used the warranty at least once a year. At one point, I was debating on whether to continue the contract and now, I'm glad I did. As a matter of fact, I even upgraded to more coverage. It's the one that covers just about everything. I've used the warranty several times this year and I've been pleased with it. It has definitely paid for itself this year. We had to have the icemaker in the refrigerator worked on. We also had the hot water heater elements replaced and the gentleman who came out was great. He took care of the problem and was very professional. I file claims over the phone because I usually have questions, and it wasn't long at all before he came out. He was pretty prompt.

Our icemaker was freezing up on us. I called Home Shield and they sent out their best person. I got to speak to a live agent. I’d rather deal with a person versus hitting one, hitting two, hitting three. So, it worked out beautifully. Then the normal turnaround time is five to seven days max.

    The dishwasher was leaking and the service man that came out was absolutely marvelous. In fact, he showed up at the end of the day when he should’ve been on his way home to enjoy his evening with his family. We actually had the appointment for the next day but he came by to do our job because he had the parts on his truck and he didn’t want to wait ’til the next. He had been here before when he took that part, then figured it out what parts he needed, and he ordered the parts. We didn’t have to do a thing. They were delivered to our house and then he came and installed it. He was a very, very likable guy, and we enjoyed having him around.

    They replaced all the whole innards of the door. So we have virtually a brand new door, and it works like a champ. I have put American Home Shield on every house that I have owned in the last 30 years I’ve ever bought a house. When I was in the real estate business years ago, every time I sold somebody a house, I put a year’s worth of American Home Shield on the house so they’d never have a problem.

Also, our old home warranty went out of business and they never told anyone. If something goes wrong, I wanna make sure I have coverage, so I was in a scurry to find one. I found AHS and I seem to be very happy with it, so far. When we have an issue, it’s easy because I can get online and request the service.

    One time, when my furnace went out, AHS saved me a heck of a lot of money. I got a brand-new furnace that’s about $3,500 and back then, my warranty fee was only 45. Recently, I had a claim for my dryer where they sent out a tech from Allstar Appliance. But I kinda wasted money because the line that runs toward the air duct going out that caused the problem was in the house. I thought I snaked it good because I pulled the thing all the way through, but there still was a blockage and that was causing the dryer not to heat properly. So, he told me that I gotta still snake it down, which I did, and that was it.

    So, he really didn't do anything and said that he was not allowed to touch anything in the house. But he was friendly and he stuck around while I cleaned it out. He also made sure I cleaned it out the proper way. I thought you could snake it by hand, but he told me to put it on a drill, which I did. So, I got educated a little bit by him.

    Other than that, I’m looking at selling the house next year when I retire and move out of state. And I plan on buying a year's worth of American Home Shield for the new people. That was what they did to me when I bought the house, which is good. We're doing a lot of work right now. This house is dated because it was built in the 80s, so we're getting it up to modern. I’ve done the floors and windows, kitchen, and new vanities. I'm also painting the inside and outside. But in case there was anything I missed, at least I know that American Home Shield will cover it if it’s in the house.

    My plumbing claim went extraordinarily well. I couldn’t be more pleased with it. It took me calling and scheduling and I kinda had to keep on them a little bit. Then, they finally got a tech out to the house. The tech from Parrish Plumbing looked at it and diagnosed the problem. He came out at noon and when I got home at 5:00, everything was already done. They pumped out my septic system and I couldn’t be happier with them with how quickly it got handled.

    The furnace was not responding to the thermostat and I submitted a claim for it online. The AHS website has always been very accessible. I’ve used that whenever we’ve needed any kind of assistance. All you have to do is put in AHS and it comes up, and our information is there, and it just asks you what you need. We’ve had it for years and I haven't had any difficulties with it. They tell you who is going to contact you and they do. They also let you know who to expect. They text a picture of the service person. I was contacted within hours. It always works that way.

    A-1 Quality was totally professional and the service was excellent. Their technician wasn’t in the home very long. It was a relay with the furnace on the roof. He just told us to let him know if there was any other problem. But I haven’t had to call him, so it has been fine. Overall, American Home Shield is reliable. If you have a problem, they just take care of it. I’ve recommended them to other people on more than one occasion.

    We had an issue with the heat which is restarting once the temperature setting was reached. The technician came the next day and solved the problem. Filing a claim with AHS is usually good. However, this is the second claim of a heating issue but a different appliance. Our first claim hasn't been resolved and it's been going on since October. The techs did come out and inspected it but did nothing else after that. I was assuming they were waiting on parts to come in and give us a date for service but that never happened.

    I called Home Shield for updates and they also called the contractor. The contractor said they were gonna call me the next day and I've been waiting. They ignore us and there's still no heat in our main room. It's warming up now but we went through the whole winter without heat. Also, we have a newborn so it made it even depressing. I would like it if we can switch the company that handles the issue. If the company that just came can handle this issue, then that would be awesome.

    We were watching TV on a Thursday night and the heater was going. All of a sudden, we heard clicking noises like something was stuck or had fallen off and was going around with the fan. The heater would do that every time it would come on and off. We called AHS because that sounded terrible. We had the tech from AHS's contractor, Applied Air, come out twice for that. They couldn't get out that night the issue started and I was afraid we were gonna have no heat. Their tech came the next day and they were on the spot. The first time he came out, he couldn't find anything wrong with it even though it was making a clicking noise the night before. What had fallen apart may have settled because it wouldn't make a noise while the fan was running anymore. He took the whole thing apart and could find nothing loose or anything that was falling into the fan when it was running.

    So, he replaced what he thought was the problem. But then, we had to call him back out because it was still making a noise. The heating unit would do that sometimes when it would turn on but mostly when it would shut off. He was very nice about it and was very willing to come back. He ended up replacing the fan the second time around and we haven't heard the noise since then.

    This incident happened during one of the coldest nights we've had this year. There was fear that we would have no heat and couldn't get anybody to come out. The girl whom I talked to at AHS tried calling to see if she could get somebody to come but then nobody would come that night. Another concern was that my pipes were gonna freeze. I asked her if AHS would cover my pipes because they couldn't get anybody out and she said "No".

    For 12 years now, we've had American Home Shield and I keep renewing it every year for peace of mind that I won't have to put a whole lot of money when something breaks down. I spend a pretty penny on it every year. We have used the warranty off and on throughout the years. Our hot water tank went out last year and what I don't like about AHS though is that while I have is a high-end hot water tank and a high-end furnace, they won't replace it with what's there. Instead, they replace it with what they wanna replace it with. So, I had to fight with them last year to get an upgraded hot water tank that wasn’t what I had but still better than what they wanted to put in. I went almost three weeks without a hot water tank while we bickered about this.

    With AHS, we are not able to get what we have and in a timely manner. Still, their contractors with whom we've worked with are always pleasant to work with. One time, we had an off-brand plumber who came out for our sump pump and they had to come back two or three times until I finally decided they're not getting it. Since then though, we've had decent contractors. We had B&K Plumbing for a while and now we have Kwik Serv. They have been very accommodating. They have done extra stuff for us too since they have been in our house already. I have considered looking into some of the other warranty providers. We had one for my mom’s house when she purchased it a little over a year ago and what she had was horrible. I kept saying to her that I don't have those kinds of problems with my home warranty.

I had a thing in on where you put your holes in the tub. I got a digital washer and I had it lying on the floor. He said I needed to pick it up and put it over in the tub for it to fill up and that's what I did.

    I've had AHS for about 5 years and I like it when their contractors come and do what they are gonna do with the appliance or whatever it is that needs to be worked timely.

    In the 15 to 20 years I've been with American Home Shield, they've been very dependable and we've used their warranty on just about everything we have in our home. About a month ago, we had a claim for our dryer as there was an issue with some sort of switch. AHS' contractor, Appliance Repair Time came for service and what was needed was on the tech's truck. The repair went well and now we're all back to normal.

    Everything breaks down eventually. Still, AHS takes care of things and they have researched their vendors very well. All of their techs that have come over the years explain what they're doing. They show the part and what they’re gonna replace. They are nice people and they do a good job. Sometimes they can't fix the issue and they have to replace my unit. AHS has done that in the past and their policy has reliability. I have a $75 deductible and they take care of the rest. I'm in the insurance business with Farmers and we recommend people to get AHS' warranty when we write a home loan.

Last month, I requested for electric support because it said the ceiling fans were covered, but when I called them, they said it’s not the paddle fan. It’s the ceiling fan for the heater. That was a waste of my time. So, they need to be clear on their wordage of what they cover and not cover. But their service is good when I speak to them.

    The first year after we bought our house, the refrigerator went out and was deemed unfixable. I filed a claim and AHS replaced our refrigerator. Then there was a lid that broke on our clothes washer. They shipped the new lid five times to replace it but the lid kept breaking in the mail. So, they replaced our clothes washer. Then recently, an issue came up with the AC and they sent Big Air. I wasn't home when they came but my wife was and she told me that the contractor was respectful. He initially came, diagnosed what it was and then said he had to order the part. He came back a couple of hours later that same day and put the part in. Since then, our AC has been working. Overall, AHS has saved us a lot of money. I'm very happy and it's more than made its money.

They assigned Prestige Appliance Repair to come out and the tech was here four days after I made the claim. I've had him service my appliances before and for this claim, he fixed the problem.

    I have a chandelier-type thing hanging from the ceiling and the box apparently broke. So the thing kinda dropped down. The wires were the only thing kinda holding it up. The contractor had to come in and cut the chandelier down, and pulled that old box out and put a new one up, and stick everything back up in there. It was very quick. The guy knew what he was doing and it took him 30 minutes tops to do it.

    Submitting a claim is a piece of cake. I do everything online. I go online and click on the submit services request or service ticket, kinda click on a generic issue of what it is and it’s instantaneous. I get a text message saying who my contractor is and then they typically call me if not that day, the next day. So it’s very easy. I had to use AHS about six times over the years and I’ve never once had any issue with anybody that they’ve ever sent out. They’ve all been professional. They came out when they said they were gonna come. It’s been really simple every time. But if I had to nitpick, there was one time I did have a question about my AC and I wasn’t sure whenever I submitted the ticket if what I was submitting was gonna be one or two charges because I have two units. So I called to try to get someone and it took me like 40 minutes to finally get ahold of someone. You’re gonna get put on hold if you wanna speak to someone directly with AHS.

    So far, I haven’t had any issues with American Home Shield. We've had the warranty for about six years and we’ve had three things worked on, and everything has been good. When I have a claim, I have to call in then at that time, I give them payment. You can probably do it both online and over the phone but I’m the old-fashioned way. I like to talk to someone. They sent out DNS Plumbing once and the company was very good. It also wasn’t very long at all before somebody came out. It was a few days and also, as soon as I had submitted the claim, I got a text message that I would be getting a call. So Home Shield was very good at responding to the order being put in.

    Sometimes the reps of AHS could be a little confused, but they were helpful when I let them know what the issue was. And then the contractors call and let me know when they're coming, and I also get an email. Recently the sink and the faucet were leaking. I couldn’t get them regulated so I called AHS and spoke to someone. They sent Grade A Plumbing and the young man let me know that I would be needing a water heater. He was very helpful.

There was also a problem with the washer and the dryer. They were all minimal but they took care of that, too. One of them was like a timing issue.

    I went to the AHS website to submit a claim. The website is user-friendly, now that I’ve been on it. I can expect contractors out usually within a day or two during the workweek. Somebody had unwired the doorbells and one thing needed a battery. I just typed in what was wrong, they contacted Platinum Heating & Air, made an appointment to come out, and the tech replaced the old doorbell thing that was inside the house.

    The only thing is I have to find a 12-volt battery. I looked at the store yesterday and I can’t find one, but that would fix the remote for the backdoor. But while the tech was here, he put in batteries for the actual unit that goes inside the house. The tech came a little late, though. The time period that he gave me overlapped with somebody delivering something. But he was friendly, very thorough, and he showed me how to open everything so I won’t break anything. He showed me how to open up the back of the remote and what to do. He also showed me what kind of the batteries to put in it and replaced the batteries that I had on hand, that size. He put a new doorbell thing outside with a light in it too, so that’s nice. Now I have a working front and back doorbell.

    Instead of going online which is the quickest way to do things, I prefer calling AHS and it's hell to get through to them. It can take maybe 15 minutes or so before somebody comes on the line. Then, in one or 2 days generally, they get somebody out to my home. Out of all the times, there's only been one that I was displeased with since they didn't fix a washer properly. A-US Air Conditioning of Texas was sent out for the heater that sounded like it would kick on or starting to kick on but then it would just fizzle out or drop and die out.

    I like that AHS saves me money when I have a repair. I’ve had two different experiences with Myers Comfort. The first contractor was an older gentleman and the second person was a young guy, but they were from the same company. When the first person came out to deal with the disposal, it was an excellent experience. He replaced everything. They were very friendly and absolutely wonderful. And they fixed all kinds of stuff.

    But before that, I had a couple of faucets that were leaking. The person who came out was awful. We had a scheduled time, but I had told him over and over that I could not be there at a specific time because I had to pick up my child from school. He either ran early or late and came right when I told him I had to go pick up my child. He pulled in my driveway and blocked me in. I told him that I had to pick up my child from school. He was very rude. He said that he was busy and that the only other thing he had was across town and won’t be able to come back that day.

    He told me that he was gonna leave and not come back if I left to go get my child from school. I ended up calling a friend and getting my friend to go pick up my child from school. And he went inside his car with the door closed and smoked, then he tracked cigarette smoke all in my house. We all had asthma. The customer service was very poor, but he resolved the issue in 10 minutes.

    The mechanism that opens and shuts our garage door would open and close partway. It got to a point to where we couldn't even park in the garage because it wouldn't open itself. We'd have to manually open it. The service guy from Arizona Native Garage Doors tried to put a new circuit board and he said it immediately nearly fried it. So he took it out and said the whole thing had to be replaced because it was ruined. He was great and really informational. They had to send someone back a couple of days later to install. He was in and out in probably 10 minutes. He pulled that thing off, put the new one in and installed the new opener to the wall and showed me that it was working. It was really quick and easy. Everything works great now.

    This is the third time we've had to do a claim with American Home Shield. We've had them for the last year or two, and it has been really easy to file a claim online.

    I had a heating claim with AHS and everything went well. Three Brothers came and they said that there was no real problem. They just needed to tie the pipes back to secure them to the ceiling and to the side of the wall. The cords that were holding them up had loosened up, so they put new straps on and stapled them back to the wall. They checked the upstairs AC as well. They didn't find anything other than three minutes to tie that up. I was very comfortable with them. They were very professional, very courteous, and very quick. I asked them to look through the second part, which was on a third floor scale up in an attic. They were there between 20 and 30 minutes.

    Because I didn't know the magnitude of the problem, I called American Home Shield. If I had a person who could've just gone up and looked at it, they could've tacked that back up. If I had know that's all it was, I would've tacked it back up. I was afraid that the cylinders or the tubes had dropped away from the vents, and that was why I needed a professional. Three Brothers assured me that it was still flowing through the vents and it was just the cords having broken loose half a period of time.

    I've had American Home Shield since I bought my home in 2007. It went along with buying into a new home in the community in a city that I'm not familiar with, and knowing that I would be one of two people living there who really didn't have the connections. I had my own set of people when I lived outside of Texas. I had my own plumber and carpenter I worked for. The school district then had a neighbor who was a contractor who had all of these people available to me. But here, I didn't have that, so American Home Shield seemed to be my best choice because they had everything on one roof.

    It's a little expensive though. When we first started, it wasn't $75 a call-out. Sometimes, like this recent claim, it could've been done for about $5 or $10 or 10 minutes and a nail. Other than that, I would rate American Home Shield very highly at this point. I've had a few other situations where I've had to complain, but it wasn't American Home Shield, it was the actual contractor.

    We had a porch light that was out and we had a light in the kitchen, like a chandelier, that was not working. And then, the light on the garage door opener was not working too. The person from Ragan & Molinet who came out to fix it was fantastic. He fixed the porch light very quickly. In the kitchen, we did not realize that when the power goes off and when it comes back on, sometimes you have to pull the chain a couple of times to get all four of the lights to come on. It was something that nobody had ever told us and he showed us that. He also did some adjustments out in the garage with the light there. I had been in the technical field most of my life and I was impressed with his skill and knowledge. He also had a young apprentice with him and they did a great job. I would recommend them to anybody.

    The only thing that we ran into was that the spring of the garage door was broken and that was not a part of American Home Shield's contract -- they take care of the garage door opener, but they do not take care of any of the mechanisms. It would be good if they did. We had a plumbing issue too, and they used Budget, which was out from St. Peters. Our icemaker had gone out on the refrigerator a couple of times as well, and the people who came out where very knowledgeable. They replaced the icemaker twice in the last six or seven years.

    AHS has been a good investment for us. We have been with them for about nine years, and the people that they have sent here to work for them have been great. We have not had anybody come out to repair anything for us who had not been knowledgeable and had not done a good job. There were a couple of times that we did not get a phone call as quickly as we thought we would from the company, but I understood that. So, it may take a day or two before they call us to set up the appointment, but we have not had anything that had been an emergency. If we would have had, they would have expedited it for us. Overall, I would definitely recommend this home warranty company.

    I called Home Shield to file a claim and I wasn't happy with the call at all. It's really tough getting through AHS, getting someone that I can understand on the phone and getting to the right person after being transferred. I called a couple of times but essentially, I never got to where I wanted to be and I couldn't file a complaint about it. So, I ended up having to pay the service fee of $100 and pay for the plumber $315 to unclog the toilet.

    Though the initial call was fine, the follow-up call stating that they wouldn't cover the claim was very frustrating. No foreign objects could be put down the toilet. The tenants used Cottonelle Wipes, which are flushable as stated on the pack. It wasn't a foreign object but AHS denied covering the said claim. There were also a couple of things they wouldn't cover like my water heater claim. They had to replace the water heater but they had to add an extension tank to it 'cause it was an older tank. I had to pay $900 right away.

    The technicians seemed good but I had a really bad problem with a technician, who is based out of Philadelphia, last year. They were the worst and they were like a scam. They had many complaints online about them not doing the work, not following through and not showing up on their appointments. It was a horrible nightmare with them. I filed a complaint against them with the Better Business Bureau. I called AHS back and told them about it. I begged them to get me a second opinion to prove that there was an issue and that everything that the technician were stating was false. AHS sent out another guy who got me a whole new washer.

    I have two warranties with AHS and I spend a lot of money on them. I've been thinking about looking into other warranty companies because of the hassle when I call AHS. A lot of times, I can't understand what the reps are saying. The customer service and the hold time is ridiculous so I don't like to file on the phone. It takes a while. Sometimes, I get a call from the tenant and I have to call while I'm driving. I can't go online, which I understand is faster, but it's a process.

AHS set my appointment from anywhere between 12:00 and 5:00, but he came before that time and he said it needed to be plunged out from the outside to keep the flow through it.

    I have four policies with Home Shield. In general, I feel okay, but when I needed them the most, they were not there for me. I had a sudden burst in a pipe in the kitchen that cost me the entire kitchen. I had to take care of it on a Sunday. It was an emergency. I could not wait to call them and have them assign someone, because it was a mess all over. After I fixed everything a few months later, I submitted to Home Shield the plumber’s receipt which I paid on the same day. They said they weren't gonna honor my claim because I should have called them first.

    Even if I called them on that Sunday, I don’t think they're gonna have somebody there right away, knowing the volume that they work with and it’s a Sunday. Even if they did, I had to contain the damage because every moment, it gives me more damage issues. There was no time to call them just to let them know. And they're not gonna send anybody right away anyway. I was very disappointed after having four properties with them since at least 1994.

    I've been with AHS for 15 years now and submitting a claim to AHS has been easy. The contractors have always been good and professional. Just like, I would’ve hired them myself. It also usually takes 24 hours for them to come out, not a long wait at all.

    We had lots of vapor-locked air in the pipes of our boiler and they thought they got it fixed the first time. But one zone still didn’t work. Cozy Comfort had to come out the next day and got it fixed. They were really good about scheduling it right away and getting right back out because it was quite chilly. It’s the first time I've had a boiler in my house, but I understand that it’s difficult to bleed air out of them. He explained to me that sometimes, it takes a few times to get it. They put four-hour slots because boilers are kinda hard to work on.

    It was a learning process for me as well as far as how boiler work goes. I’d obviously like to get it fixed on the first shot, but it was completely reasonable to have to come back. We have family members that have AHS. We had also used another service before and weren’t super-happy with some of the contractors that were sent out to our house. We decided to try a new service and we got AHS when we bought our house for a year from our Realtor and we decided to just continue it.

    Sometimes I like American Home Shield but sometimes I don't. We've been with them for 15 years. But sometimes, I feel that they should take care of certain things and they don't. Also, some contractors are good and some of them are not so good. But I would tell American Home Shield to send somebody else. The last one we had was fine though.

    When I signed up with AHS, I specifically told them that it was a three-family home. They quoted me a certain price, but when I had someone come out, that technician reported back to AHS. He said that it was a three-family home and AHS wanted to cut my services. I said that they need to check their tapes because I clearly said that it was a three-family home and that whatever price they quoted me was what I was gonna continue to pay. Also, you can’t really understand their customer service reps. They have people in other countries doing it and there's a communication barrier. However, one of them was good. She did everything over the phone and was very cordial.

    As soon as I submitted my heating claim, I contacted Liberty because my tenant didn’t have heat. I asked when they could come out and they were able to come out the next day. I also told them to have the tech call me 30 minutes before he comes. But he didn't. The tenant said the tech was okay. He checked out the heater and found out that the issue was a motor. I also called the Liberty people to make sure that the tech was out there. They said that the guy was there, but had to run out to get a piece and that everything would be all right.

    I have a problem with a microwave. The contractor came and said that they would give me a new one. I waited. After 9 to 10 days, I called. They said I had to call the appliance office then go online and identify what I wanted to buy. I did it. After a few more days, I called. They said no order was placed. So, they placed the order today after almost 20 days. If I didn’t call, I could have waited for a long time.

    I've had AHS for about 10 years and their contractors have been okay. AHS calls them and they come. So, I have no complaints. They have improved on communication too. When you call, it doesn’t take a long time. But this time, I’m waiting. It takes a long time to reach the appliance office. It can take 40 minutes. I called three times and I couldn’t reach them.

    We bought a used home here in Vegas and our realtor recommended American Home Shield. I was very impressed with my claim where Integrity Appliance Repair out, and I'm glad I have my warranty on the house. The splash shield exhaust system of the stove did not function at all. It is the only exhaust system we have in the house and it works, but it is not as efficient as you would think for an updraft exhaust system because it is a squirrel cage type. The contractor came out, found the problem, and replaced the part. It was perfect. He was professional. In submitting the claim, I took my warranty information out and called the number on the warranty paperwork. The representative I dealt with was excellent. The whole process, from the time I called to the time that the technician showed up to the time of completion, took a week. Everything has been functioning very well since then.

    Somebody came to drywall my wall because the faucet in my bathtub was leaking. They replaced that and they left a hole in my wall. And Vaughn McAllister was the contractor that came to patch the hole. Submitting claims with American Home Shield has been pretty good. I just submitted my claim, they had somebody come and look at the work, they ordered the part that I needed for this latest experience, and then they came and installed it.

    Overall, the contractors that AHS sends out have been great. The plumbers were excellent. They did a fantastic job. They were very thorough and they’re experienced. I had one contractor come before to look at the stove and they told me that they were gonna order a part and then they were gonna fix the stove. That was over a year ago. They never came back.

    When All Hours Emergency Plumber came out a couple of days after I submitted the claim to Home Shield, the main leak was in the faucet. It was really leaking around that so that's what the tech and I both thought was the problem. When that was replaced, it wasn't leaking up there by the faucet at all. But then, I washed some clothes and I noticed another leak. I thought maybe it was no big deal. I washed some more clothes and it flooded in there. So, it's a big leak. I thought this leak had to come from the faucet but apparently, it was just starting out and you couldn't see it that well until it's just gushing through. They're coming back for a re-call. The tech was great, very professional, and efficient. He knew what he was doing and he showed me what he was doing. But I'm not real happy with the people who came out for the air conditioning. I just hope I don't get them again. Other than that, I feel pretty good about Home Shield.

    Good Guys was very efficient, very knowledgeable on what was going on, very polite, courteous to my concern, and they showed me what was going on with the appliance after they finished it. Some of the companies that American Home Shield uses need some improvement. I had one prior to Good Guys that I wasn't pleased with. It was Tiger Plumbing. When the plumber came out, he wasn't friendly and then he diagnosed the wrong thing. As a matter of fact, he cut a hole in my wall. He told me that I had a stoppage in my tub. I had kept calling him on the phone and my 90 days lapsed. He never returned my calls.

    After my 90 days lapsed, I had to pay another $75. The company sent me somebody else instead of him. So, when they sent me Tiger Plumbing, the guy looked at the situation and it was something totally different. My toilet was leaking that was why the water was on the floor. So, I was out $150 because of the misdiagnosis from the first plumber. I've had American Home Shield for over 30 years. Because I put all this money and time in it, I just stuck with it. But I haven't had any issues with submitting a claim.

    My dryer was making a terrible noise and there was a lot of friction. I phoned American Home Shield about it and they sent Active Appliance Service. The contractor replaced the belt and a little wheel. It was paid for and then he left the receipt. They said that it will be good for my grandchildren now. When I make a complaint, AHS will get another vendor out there and they will fix it. I've had vendors who come and try to cheat you, but not these guys. I've been with this warranty company for more than five years and I pay my monthly. Having AHS is worth it. If something were to breakdown, at least they would come. We like it because of our air conditioning, washer, and dryer. We also used to have a garage. The water heater was a good experience.

    The plumber that came out was really good. He came out to assess my water heater. My water bill had gone from $100 to $397. Then I noticed my water heater. It seemed like it constantly running. It looked like the water pressure had risen so much that it was causing overflow. So the water heater was constantly pushing water out through a pipe at the side of my house. The plumber immediately determined the root of the problem and got it fixed after he got approval from the warranty company. So it went pretty smoothly. So far, everything is good with the water heater. I'm waiting on additional follow-up from my water company just to ensure water levels have dropped back down. But the water heater isn’t running and there’s no leaking water from the side of my house so everything seems to have worked out fine.

    Submitting the claim was really easy too. I contacted American Home Shield and gave them some details on the problem then they went ahead and scheduled the appointment with My Georgia Plumber. They asked that I send over a picture of the water heater itself so they can have the model and serial number and then that was it. They got someone out to me in three days. It was a holiday in between. My Georgia Plumber was fantastic. I highly recommend them. They were very quick and efficient. The rep that took my call was able to answer all of my questions. She also really worked with my schedule because I can only work from home one day a week. She was very attentive. I've now been with American Home Shield for two years.

    I was having issues with being able to smell exhaust in my house. I called in a claim with AHS and the first people that they sent out came over on a weekend. He did mainly plumbing, so he knew nothing about my heater. He said most people around here had boilers and there were waters involved, but mine is a forced air. He recommended Comfort Air Mechanical, which was the company that worked on my heater years ago. When AHS sent out Comfort Air, the guy that came over knew what he was doing. He was able to fix the issue but they had to wait for approval from American Home Shield for a switchboard that was inside the heater in my house. They got that pretty fast but it took quite a while for American Home to approve the service for the motor for the exhaust fan up on my roof that is connected to the heater. When the contractor finally got the approval, the tech came over right away and fixed it. And now, it works good, so I'm happy with it.

    So far, I have AHS on my home for about two years now. I also have an apartment on my property that we built for my mother years ago. It's like a guesthouse now and I also have that included on my policy in case anything goes up there. That's a major thing because I'm a widow and on a fixed income. I can afford to pay the little bit for the insurance once a month, but if I were to have a big repair bill for something, it would be very hard on me financially. So, I am happy with AHS.

    I have a tankless water heater and the water was getting cold. I shouldn’t have been having a problem but I did so I called AHS. The claims representatives have been good, polite, and knowledgeable. But what I did not like was the company that they used. It’s not anything with the home warranty, but I had to wait 5 days for service from Air Pro Master. I didn’t like that, but the water heater has been operating perfectly now. And Air Pro has fine, good people. I would use them again, but not if I have to wait so long for service. AHS should have faster service from the plumbing company. My sister is in real estate and every time we bought a home, she would buy me a gift for a year from American Family Home Services Warranty and I’ve been using them for years.

    It’s been over a year since I got my American Home Shield policy. They sent somebody from Sears out the next day after I called about my washer, and that was good. My washer was making a really loud noise when it was spinning. The arm was broken. The Sears guy diagnosed the washer, sent in a report to American Home Shield, and that was pretty much it. It was an $800 fix so I was given a brand new machine. It was a lengthy process. We were without a machine for almost two weeks. They had to order it, set it up for someone to ship it, and have it installed. But everything else was great once I got it. I have a really nice washer so I was pretty happy.

    However, it wasn’t a perfect experience with AHS. I tried to turn in my water heater and they wouldn’t cover that ’cause it was leaking and they said they don’t cover leaking water heaters. This time I did it through their online process. Now, I’m thinking you have to pay your deductible upfront. I put in a credit card for that online when I did the service request, but they ended up charging my debit card which they have on file because that’s how they take out my monthly premium for them. They charged the $125 on my debit card and then it overdrew me. I was not happy about that.

    I called customer service the next day when I found about that. It was a little weird too. The rep was like, “We have no record of what you did online.” He almost acted like that was a separate entity that they were unable to get in to that database to see exactly what credit card that I had put in. They wouldn’t do anything for me, so I had to go to my bank and fight that out but that ended up being a simple process because I don’t typically ever overdraw my account. I was really frustrated about that. They give you a space to put all of your information but didn’t use it. It defaulted somehow to my debit card and that makes no sense. But other than the little credit card deal, it was been pretty smooth.

    I called Home Shield to submit a claim and then the contractor contacted me pretty quickly and set up a time. A guy came out and he said he needed to order a part. He came back a week later and brought the part. He put it in, and I have heat right then. I didn't use my heat for about a month and a half because no one was sitting upstairs. But when my son moved back in, I turned the heat on and it kept tripping the breaker. So the company came back out and said that it was a breaker problem, so I would need an electrician. The electrician came out and said that it was because the elements that were put in were too big. So now, the same company had come out three times. Finally, someone from Texas Best came out, and he confirmed that the elements were too big. He fixed it and it wasn’t tripping the breaker anymore. He was real good.

    I have AHS on two houses right now and their response time is great. I could go online to file a claim the process is so straightforward, which is a plus. And their monthly premiums are very competitive. I’ve researched a lot of companies and their rates were one of the lowest. So for cost savings, I went with them. Recently, I had an AC claim where they sent out Argo Service Contractor. They took care of it and they are top of the line. They were 100% professional and they're one of the best HVAC companies I’ve dealt with in a while. The technician knew what he was doing, was really thorough, and explained to me everything that was wrong. Then the girl at their office kept me updated on the status of it. She was also really nice and polite. As for their response time, they gave me a window and they were within the window. So all the way around, it was great.

    AHS is horrible if you wanna get ahold of somebody. I waited more than an hour one time for a rep to be on the line and it was very frustrating. But I can give AHS a good review when it comes to submitting claims online. My microwave was losing power. I got online and had a quick claim submission. Initially they gave me a window of 24 hours before the contractor would come out, and before the contractor came he gave us 15 minutes window. The contractors were really, really professional and very helpful. I’ve had issues with this kind of microwave so I’m hoping that doesn’t break again. But so far, so good.

    When I compared AHS to the others it seems like the actual things they would cover were more comprehensive and also the Realtor had some experiences with them and had good reports from people who had purchased home warranties from them in the past. I never had a home warranty before, so I thought it might be important to have actual references from other people and went for AHS

    I had a clogged-up sink so I filed a claim with AHS and they gave me the name of the technician and an estimated time. The people from A-1 Haney notified me in advance when they were on their way and there were also texts sent about updates as well. He explained what was happening and what they would be doing that day to make the repair and answered the questions that I had. They completed the job in a timely manner. I haven’t had any problems or reoccurrence of the issue since they were here. They did what they were supposed to do, and I actually hired them to come over and install a garbage disposal, so I would recommend them.

    I had what I thought was a leaking pipe. It probably was just a drain that was not properly sealed and the tech from Neely Brothers didn’t do anything. He was great. He didn’t wanna do anything that he didn’t have to do. He sealed our drain and it’s taken care of now. In the shower, he removed the drain. It probably had corroded a little bit. And so, when the shower wasn’t draining, it was leaking through the ceiling. He sealed that up. It didn’t take him very long, but he didn’t wanna tear a hole in the wall just to find nothing. I initiated a call online through American Home Shield's website, and they sent out Neely like the next day. It was pretty quick overall. I had a general warranty through my air conditioning system's company, and I felt like they were charging me too much. I then got the idea to just get the whole home warranty instead and I did it with AHS.

Everything is working good now. Thank goodness, we had Home Shield. It saved us money. I don't know how much it would have cost if we had to pay out-of-pocket for it.

    AHS has done pretty good at fixing our problems, for the most part. I submit claims over the phone and their service is good. But we've had a couple of things that have been a pain. We had to have more than one vendor come out a couple of times to take care of the same problem because it couldn't be resolved with the first provider and American Home Shield. But I've never had to have more than two guys come out to resolve the problem on any of these issues.

    It took a week to get a toilet replaced but other than that, that was fine. It got resolved and it's a good thing I had more than one toilet. Home Shield shouldn't fool around with stuff to begin with because they're getting two vendors involved. I'm only giving them $100 bill when they send somebody out. The first contractor was perfectly capable of fixing the problem but they didn't wanna go ahead and let them finish the job. Instead, they brought somebody else in and they ended up paying more money than they would have if they just let the first guy fix it. It was resolved the same way the first guy was gonna resolve it. It just took a week to have another guy come out.

    One time, I had a problem with my furnace. It wasn't doing like it should. A guy came out, put three pounds refrigerant into the heat pump, and it's been working just fine ever since. That was no issue at all. I've been happy with American Home Shield's service. It's been prompt. Right now, I'm in the middle of another deal. We have a JennAir cooktop in our house and it's an old one. It was working fine until about a month ago. The exhaust fan stopped working. I called them and they sent a guy out from Sears. They couldn't find any replacement parts. I got a call back from American Home Shield and they offered me an option of going with this KitchenAid model that they have. They don't make my unit anymore. They also gave me the option of taking 1,175 bucks and use that towards the purchase of anything I wanted plus installation.

    Now, I'm trying to resolve that issue but I'm going down to look at some different models and stuff. They recommended one for me to get through them but I don't know if that's the one I want or not so I'm looking into that. But as far as I'm concerned, that's going well. I've been happy with what they've done so far and I think that's more than a reasonable offer for me in this situation because this cooktop is 46 years old.

    I put in a claim for a repair of a leak in our home. Plumb Genius had to take out the drywall inside the home so they had to repair the drywall. They said it's completed. But I wish it was a little bit closer to the rest of the home as far as the finish of it. It's a little more of a rough finish than the rest of the walls. I know that the part that comes with the plan is that they get it back to a rough finish and I don't know if there's a way for me to pay extra to get it flattened back out. Still, the biggest thing that I like about the warranty is the coverage part of it when I have last-minute expenses.

Preferred Electrical Services, the contractor, has been out to my house three times. The most recent one was to fix an electrical outlet outside that wasn’t working. They replaced the outlet and then the other one that I thought was plastic that was on the same line. They made sure everything was working and they were fantastic. They were able to do everything on the same day. They’ve been out to replace the ceiling fan for me too.

    I always end up with the same two guys that come out and they’re always good. They’re knowledgeable about what they’re doing and I like that they use layman’s terms. I understand scientific stuff, but when it comes to electricity, I don’t mess with it. So, I like someone who seems to understand what they need to do. They explain it and then they get to it, and it’s great. I’ve been with AHS ever since we moved into our house and it has been eight years. I don’t like the price increases that I keep going through but when I remember to use AHS, I like that the items would get fixed, except for when I called about my washing machine.

    I have AHS for 15 years now and previously, when I submitted a claim, it took a little more time for them to respond than usual. But recently, I submitted a claim for my hot water tank that was not working and they were a little more responsive. I put the claim in on a Saturday and it was surprising that they were able to receive it. Usually, nobody does anything on weekends. But right after filing the claim, they responded. At first, they couldn’t find my account information but then, they finally got that squared away. And by Monday morning, they sent somebody out from Discount Contractors.

    The contractor did what they could do and the technician who came out was thorough. He explained to me that it was an element that was bad and said that the tank was kinda old. But he said he checked it over and that it looked fine other than the element was burned out in it. He replaced the element and within 40 minutes time, he checked everything over and got my hot water heater working.

    Before this recent claim, the last time that we called AHS was from the date on the tank which was nine years ago. That was the original claim that we filed for the hot water tank, which was installed in ’09. At the time, our hot water tank fell. It cracked and leaked in the house. After we called AHS, it took them almost five days before they sent somebody out to replace the tank. I was also a little concerned because when the technician came out to install it, he didn’t install a tray. He just installed it the same way it was, but I was kinda expecting him to put a catch tray underneath it. Even the technician that came out recently stated the same thing. He also told me that if I ever have to replace the tank again, I should make sure that the tech will put a tray under. But I suggested that back in ’09 and the technician didn’t have one on the truck.

    Other than that, the warranty would be even more effective if I was more like a person that don’t take care of his own stuff because I just replaced a lot of things that I could have called AHS for. For instance, my warranty covers my refrigerator but I’ve replaced a refrigerator before and I didn’t even attempt to call AHS and have somebody come out. I was not gonna let food spoil because a refrigerator was dead, then wait a day or two for somebody to show up and check it. The same thing happened with the washer where I just went and purchased one.

    My furnace went out one time and I submitted a claim to Home Shield. After about 10 hours that day, their tech from Fast Response Heating & Cooling came out. The part needed came a couple of days later but once the tech got it, he was in and out. Plus, the quality of work he did was great. Things have been fine since then and it has been hassle-free with AHS.

    I've been with AHS for 20 years and they were better before. They were more agreeable then. One of my relatives who has them also had a terrible time with them. Still, submitting a claim to AHS for my microwave went fine. The tech from GE Appliances was really nice and he was on time. The parts for my old microwave weren't available anymore though. I got a brand new one from them this morning.

    American Home Shield's claims process was better than I expected. When you go through the warranty, you worry about whether the company coming out will do a good job or they are just some terrible company. But AHS has a feature on the website that shows you a couple of different contractors in the area. It said, “Here’s who we suggest, but here are two or three other options.” I was able to independently research that contractors they had suggested. We had a garbage disposal that went out and we got in contact with the contractor a day or two after filing the claim, which wasn’t long. They got out to me within two business days, but there was a weekend in between. I was happy though. They fixed it on hand, which was very helpful.

    I switched from a different home warranty to Home Shield. The contract was up with the other one and I wanted to try somebody different. I've been with Home Shield since October and their service has been fine. I had a microwave issue and the contractor that they picked took care of the matter really well. They had one company come out and they just tried to throw parts at it. And then a lady came out and she really dug in through all the steps and called me to follow up to make sure the microwave was still working. She was very good.

    We had issues with our electrical outlets, doorbell, and bathroom fan. It took two days for someone to come out after submitting the claim. The first contractor was bad, and I would recommend American Home Shield not to use him anymore. He was so rude and nasty when I was explaining what we put in the order form. He was going around, went into my bathroom, and did something. And in trying to look at the fan, he broke the cover. Then he told me, “Oh, this cover is broken.” I said, “But it was there. I saw you trying to pry it open.” Then, he stormed out and left. He did not even tell me why he left.

    The second one, on the other hand, was better. He came in, asked us what we listed, and then he proceeded to fix everything that we asked. With the one he could not fix, he said, “Listen. This is not covered. And the reason is because it’s outside the house,” and we understood that. He was nice. We have been with American Home Shield for a while. This has been the second experience we have had with their contractor. The very first one was very similar to the second one. Some of them are not good -- they do not know what they are doing, and they are just there.

    The heater capacitor was failing. When it turns on, it regulates the voltage going into the compressor and if it's failing, it causes the excess voltage to slam into the compressor. It makes a huge noise, which wakes you up. It’s almost like the sound of fireworks or lightning. The longer that goes on, the more damage happens to the compressor and that’s an expensive piece of property. You lose the compressor and you’re talking almost the price of a whole new heat pump. The technician that Home Shield sent replaced that part. Hopefully, that part will last six years. And I’m hoping that this will alleviate any problems in the future, which are expensive problems. The tech was very nice and extremely efficient. I got to watch him work and he was very good. He knew exactly what to do. He replaced the part very quickly and had me up and running in a matter of minutes and he was off on his way.

    I've had Home Shield since I bought my first home here in Washington, which was in 2010. It’s like a warm blankie knowing that if anything goes wrong, it’ll get taken care of. And they don’t screw around. They bring in people that know what they're doing, which is another thing that I really like. Trying to find someone who you can trust is difficult. I want somebody that knows how they're doing and has a track record and Home Shield vetted all their people. I’ve never had a problem with a technician from them.

But once they got there, they had to order the part. Then it took another couple of weeks. And when it got there, it was the wrong part. They ordered another part and that took another couple of weeks. When it came, it was still the wrong part. Then they said it would be another three months.

    I purchased a refrigerator Apr 9, 2015 and the compressor/dryer went out with a contamination on January 25, 2020. American Home Shield sent out a technician on February 4, 2020 for a diagnostics. The company (Liberty) came to repair but deemed the unit unrepairable. My wife noticed that American Home Shield had loaded another company (Sears) for a diagnostic and repair scheduled for February 12, 2020 between 8 a.m. – 12 p.m., but we didn’t any confirmation on the reason why a change. The technician did not meet the appointed time nor did he call. I called Sears to complain about the technician at 1:00 p.m. and a lack of customer service. The Sears Customer Service personnel stated they would contact the technician to determine he arrival time. I told customer service that he had missed his appointment and asked for a manager. They refused me the opportunity to discuss with a manager.

    My wife and I called American Home Shield several times and had the phone hung up in our face. The technician called around 2:30 p.m. to state that he would arrive at 3:00 p.m. He stated that the compressor and dryer need to be replaced and that American Home Shield often sends technician out three time to an issue before resolving the issues. The Sears technician schedule a date of March 5, 2020 to install the compressor and a date two weeks later to install the dryer. He stated that he hopes the repairs work. I didn’t accept the date or repairs. The technician took the phone out of my hand to select the repairs and dates. He stated this is needed to make my case stronger against American Home Shield for some service or replacement. American Home Shield said they would replace $125 to purchase a new refrigerator and offered to send the $75 for service fee back.

    American Home Shield has stated that they have done everything within their obligated contract to resolve the issue. I told them that I didn’t want Sears in my house because of the lack of customer service and the issue with the technician. They offered to start the process over but I stated I have a diagnostic from the authorized repair service of the product and they stated that we can’t take the diagnostic because it’s not a company on their listing. The company that I had to come run the diagnostic is a trained authorized company of the product. American Home Shield stated that they cannot be accountable for the subcontractors. This is the worst company that I have ever done business with and I was told by a friend that this is the norm of trying to get American Home Shield to actually do something. I have been out of a refrigerator since January 25, 2020. This company.

    Original Review: Feb. 25, 2020

    I have 3 properties covered with AHS and have used the service for years. I understand how things work and usually just wait for the process to work out. However this time things are just going too far. I first submitted a request on 11/23/19 for washer and dryer. The company that came out WAKE APPLIANCE REPAIR INC checked everything out and said both just needed to be reset which the tech did. Fast forward to 02/05/2020 when the tenants notified me the same problem was occurring and really never stopped. Things just got much worse. I contacted AHS the same day by chat, asked to not be assigned to the previous company. This time I was assigned 4 APPLIANCE REPAIR SERVICES L.L.C. Let me also add I paid another $80 fee because I was past the recall period even though it was the same issue.

    The tech comes out and determines a part needed to be ordered. The part comes in and the washer still is not working. The tech tells my assistant that he "doesn't know what the issue is." Tech advised her to call AHS for the next steps. When I contact AHS I was told a part was ordered and would be coming in one week on 02/26/2020. I was shocked. Why would the tech call AHS and order a part when he told my assistant he couldn't fix it. He told her he didn't know what was wrong with the dryer and maybe Sears could look at it. I had my assistant call and ask what was going on. He left a voicemail explaining after leaving the failed appointment he looked things up and "maybe" the machine capacitor could be out. This has been an ongoing issue since November 2019. Why am I waiting on a "maybe" part that might fix my washer that was found by research after the tech thought it was another issue.

    I have tried to communicate with AHS. No one is willing to listen. I keep getting told the part is ordered. The problem is the tech requested a part on a guess. Before ordering the first part he should have taken the time to do the research. He even asked my assistant after he installed the part if the machine had ever worked.... That is something he should have determined before ordering the first part for repair.

    I looked up the information for the owner of 4 APPLIANCE REPAIR SERVICES L.L.C who was the person that came out Elvin Eaton and I found nothing that says he is licensed in North-Carolina to perform work on appliances which is required by state law. I'm very concerned about everything and this explained why the tech didn't know what he was doing. I tried to get a Supervisor callback today and chat representative Tiffany ** refused saying chat wasn't allowed this option which I know to be untrue. Please someone look into this. My tenants have been without a washer for a very long time.

The contractor AH Appliance Repair showed up the next day and the guys were on time. They fixed the problem without any hassle, did it in a few hours, and cleaned up the place. It was very neat. So, the service provided was good and I'm satisfied. Everything looks fine and the appliances are working as expected. Also, Home Shield was very prompt and precise.

    Our dryer wasn't working one time. We had three other claims before that which I paid for and I was promised to get half back on two of those. AHS never submitted that. When I called for the dryer issue, I told AHS that I had no intentions of paying the $75 deductible until they gave me back the 75 that they were returning to me because of all the problems we've had. AHS assured me that I didn't have to pay the $75 deductible anymore for the dryer claim and that they sent the gentleman from BRM Services, LLC to check my dryer. He did that and ordered parts. A week later, he came back and put those parts in. He didn’t clean up. But other than that, he did everything else right. Even so, I really need AHS to stop sending me bills for $75 for that last claim since they assured me that they wouldn’t.

    My experience with AHS is good, so far. I would submit the request online and then somebody from the local company would give me a call, like the Drain GO Company or a plumbing company, whoever it is we’re needing. For my recent claim, I had a guy come out and tell me the problem. He thought he had to go in through the back wall of our shower and cut a hole, but ended up, it wasn’t. I got somebody else to look at it, and it ended up not needing that. It was just needing a couple of extra things like a new shower head and some gaskets. And so, luckily, the other guy came back out and they were able to get it fixed. They were timely with getting everything handled. So, that was nice.

    AHS sent out A P2 Tech Services to service an appliance and they were great people. They fixed everything and they were on time. Usually the techs were not and a couple of companies that we dealt with in the past were terrible. The last one didn’t fix anything and we had to submit three different work orders to get them to come back out again. It was just nonsense. Other than that, the out-of-pocket cost is great with AHS because we don’t have to buy a new dishwasher or any kind of that stuff.

    My furnace stopped kicking out heat. The first time, Citywide was pretty efficient in regards to coming out. They attempted to come out the same day, but unfortunately, I was at work. So, they came out as soon as I was available and fixed the issue within 45 minutes. The tech said it was a motor that was causing the furnace to not produce the heat. A week later, I had the same issue. And unfortunately, that day, it was in the 20 degrees as well as snowing. I placed in a service request within American Home Shield. Once I noticed it, it was like 2:00 AM, so I understood that they couldn't call me back at that time. A couple of hours later, I attempted to call. I called them for two days straight and no one answered. I left voicemails. At that time, I was taking time off work hoping he'd call me back because the first time he was really efficient. So I'm assuming the next time, it'll be more efficient.

    I placed that call Thursday morning. He didn't come out until Friday evening. He couldn't do anything at that time when he came out because he said it was after business hours. He didn't have the car. So he will come back the next morning, which he fixed it, but it was the time of getting a hold of him that was the big inconvenience for me because no one answered the phone, and I left several messages.

    American Home Shield is efficient in trying to get someone out and responding immediately. Every time I place a claim, I think there should be more than one contractor available so if one is not available, two should be available. They should give me options instead of whatever they preselected. Overall, I'm satisfied. I just feel like it should be a little bit more in regards to the contractors.

    My toilet was leaking and I wasn’t sure where or why. I submitted a claim to AHS and they sent a plumber out. He said my toilet was leaking around the bottom at the seal. He said it was an easy fix and he worked on it quite a while. I could hear him sanding and I thought that was really weird. He came out and said that all was fixed and that there was probably some sewer water that came up when the toilet flushed. I decided to go and mop it but then the plumber took off and didn't have me sign for anything. I looked at the floor and saw that he scratched my marble floor. He must’ve pulled the toilet across the floor when he took it off so it scratched. He also sprayed something gray on top of the floor.

    I called American Home Shield right away and they said they would call the company and see what they have to say. The call to the contracting company went into voicemail, nobody answered the phone. AHS said they would leave a message and nothing happened. I called AHS again the next day and they said they would call the contractor again. They talked to somebody named Daryl who then said they would call me and talk to the technician. Nobody has ever called me back.

    I'd like somebody to fix my floor. American Home Shield told me that they’ll send the technician out to fix it. So far, I'm very dissatisfied with the service as nothing is happening. AHS has to have the company do something. This isn't a contractor that should be going out to people's homes if that’s the kind of service that they’re gonna give.

    Choice Home Warranty told me that I was gonna get disappointed with American Home Shield because their service money is very high and the people who work for them are not very professional. But I keep AHS because I’ve been with them for so many years and I like their service. Plus, I have a big house and having AHS gives me security. If something happens, thank God I have them and I’m happy about that. However, their service fee is very expensive and it would be better if that could be a little bit lower. Also, sometimes the people who work them are not good. I had two bad experiences but then, I realized that they are only for emergencies. So, I said AHS was still good and I wanted to keep them.

    Recently, I had a plumbing issue and they sent out a tech from Jed Mechanical. He said the noise was nothing to be worried about and he just changed the wire, the plastic inside my toilet where the water was leaking, because after a while these plastics are shrinking. It took 10 to 15 minutes for him to do everything, then he said that the plumbing was moving and he couldn't do anything else for it. But I have guests coming every other week and when they go to that bathroom, the noise is really loud and that makes me worry what’s going on.

    I also noticed that most of these people working for AHS are so lazy. I had an electrician come to my house three times but he didn’t wanna do anything. First, he said he didn't have a ladder and he had to come back. Then, he replaced a light that was covered by American Home Shield but he said nobody told him that he had to replace the other one. But I told the lady at their front desk that I sent a picture and asked them to estimate the work for me. I also said that I was gonna pay for that out of pocket. Then, the tech said that he would do it, but he left because he thought their office didn't tell us the right amount.

    At the end, I had to call another electrician. But when I asked one of AHS' people to give me three more electricians that work with them, they said they charge $500 for a tech to go and diagnose the problem. Then I called the third person and they charged $350 for diagnosis. I said forget it, then I called Alexandria Lighting. I asked their rep if they knew any electrician and he said he was gonna email me a couple of them. I called one of them and the guy said he had to come inside and estimate for me. I agreed, then he came and did everything. And he charged me $300 for that light, so I took his offer.

    Then I called AHS and said that I would be getting another electrician. They said that was okay and that I could do cash out from them. But I needed to show the proof that I replaced it. So the customer service from AHS was so good. They were so nice and they tried to help, but the price was too high. The customer cannot afford their fees. They also added up things that didn’t work then I ended up finding another electrician. Other than that, I had a tech out for the garage door and he was such a good person. I keep telling everyone about him. He said the garage door was old and I needed to replace it. I told him not to fix it and just forget it but he said he was gonna fix it as that was his job. So, he did. I was lucky and I thank God I didn’t need to replace anything.

    My most recent claim was with the microwave not working properly and I filed it on the website. It is very user-friendly and it tells what to expect. And sure was, as soon as the claim was submitted, I got an email letting me know that it was submitted and that I will be contacted within 24 hours by the contractor. Then, I got a call the next morning from Wright Appliance Service & Repair and they have good customer service with them. When they initially called me, first, they confirmed what the appliance was, the model, and the location of it, and then they also looked at my availability and what would be the task before they send out a contractor. So, that was good and very professional. I told them what day worked best for me and time, then they called me later and said they have someone at that date and that time.

    Before the contractor showed up, I was called up in that morning to reconfirm that the appointment was still good for the afternoon that I picked and it was. I asked them to call me when he was on his way so that way I could put the dog away. They did and it came through. The contractor also provided very good service and it was very quiet. He said, "Point me where the location of the microwave was," and, "We need to test it, right? So, you can get a glass of water for me." He did not interrupt me at all. I was very pleased with everything. It was great customer service and convenient.

    So far, I've been with American Home Shield for 3 years in my current home but we also had them in Temple, Texas. The actual sellers of the house at that time had American Home Shield and it was an added benefit at first. And then every year, I can renew and we've been liking them.

I pay the $57.59 every month, but it’s gonna pay itself back because if my air conditioner or hot water heater goes out, that’s gonna be expensive. I’d rather pay the 57.59 now than get someone to fix it because they’re gonna either fix it or replace it. I just pay the service fee of $100 when the vendors come out, and it’s worth it to me.

    I had a smell of sulfur in my water and the guy said it was the iodizer. He put a new iodizer on and got that sulfur smell out. It’s working great now. There was a great interaction too, but the first time he came, I had a card on the door saying, “Hartman was here." My house is big and a lot of people knock instead of ring the doorbell. I’ve been waiting the whole time and I didn't hear him come. So, I had to call them back and say I'm not gonna pay the $100 revisit fee. He came back, no problem.

    I used American Home Shield in Western Massachusetts before I moved down here to South Carolina. I was in a relatively rural area and I couldn't get the electricians out. And I initially let my American Home Shield warranty expire. Then, the policy I’ve had down here came with the house and the real estate agent made the sellers offer it as part of the sale. I reluctantly took it for a year but it was free. And the stuff we’ve had are relatively minor up to the point of this plumbing issue that we recently had. It was a major clog in the sink and A-American Plumbing came out. They are great and they’ve been over here before for a number of issues.

    The guy who was here was the son of the owner and we discussed putting in a new faucet in the sink because I had been unable to tighten the gasket. He said he was not gonna do it because he could do all he could then if you break the faucet, you’ll have to buy it. So, he said he was gonna put the new faucet in for me. I’ve also been pleased with American Home Shield in terms of the timeliness of their response. Because we are right here in Charleston and it’s a relatively populated area, they can get the people to come out here quickly, which was not the case when we lived in a relatively rural part of New England.

    Other than that, if you’re on city water, meaning you don't have a well or a septic tank, it’s not a bad deal to have American Home Shield. But if you're not, that's a different story because the well pump I replaced right before I sold my house in Massachusetts in 2018 wasn’t covered. And that was about a three-grand expense. Then, the septic tank that I had there was an elevated one with a secondary pump station, and none of that stuff was covered. And you could put riders on, but that would double the cost of the monthly premium.

    Cabot came out twice, both having to do with the problem with the heater, and they were great both times. The first time wound up being an electrical problem, while the second time was a mechanical problem in the heater itself. I saw very little of the tech who came out the first time. He quickly assessed the problem, had it fixed, and then he was gone. The second one who came out figured out what the problem was, and then he had to find and replace a part. First, he said it would take two or three days. It was very cold out and I said that my 90-year-old dad was coming to stay and this was not good. He then said, “Let me look and see if I can find one locally.” He did not promise anything, but he tried. So, he went to his truck for a bit and made calls. He came back and said that he found a place locally that had it. He went to get it and put it on, and the heater has worked ever since.

    I like that I can go online and put in the problem. American Home Shield has always been good if I have put in a request for an order. I immediately get a response, and, within hours, I get a call from whatever technician they have contacted. So, I’ve been real pleased with them. There is no delay, and I’m not waiting around for people to call me back. It has been very efficient and it has worked very well. We bought it because we bought a new house, and we may go ahead and renew the warranty and keep it another year.

A lot of people got bad taste in their mouth about the home warranty places, but not me. AHS saved me money. They’ve been good to me. We’ve had to use them maybe three times for small and smaller things and they covered it with no problem. I had them years ago with my ex-wife. We had an air conditioning unit that went out a long time ago. It took some pulling teeth, but they came through and covered it, and that was an expensive job. But so far, that’s why I’ve still been with them. They haven't done me wrong at all.

    There was one guy that came one time that I wasn’t really impressed with, but he didn't end up doing the job. He came out and looked and he had referred somebody else. But most of the time, the contractors are great. The latest one, especially, was awesome. He got here when he said he was gonna be here. He called me back as soon as I called him. I have a weird schedule. I’m out on the road a lot, and I had to be here for him to do it. And he showed up exactly on time and was a really friendly, great guy.

    We had an issue with our oven. It took a week for the contractors to come out and then it took a week for the part to come in. They were down in staff, someone was gone. And I had called and told her what part it was 'cause it was the element but she said because of the warranty, they had to come out and look at it first and then order the part. So, then, the part took a week. But the contractor was great. He was wonderful, very friendly and professional. The oven's great and it works fine now.

    My toilet was overflowing so I submitted a claim online. I had to check back to see that it told me to reach out to the agency, and I contacted them to schedule an appointment. It wasn’t something that was done right away as I wanted it to be. They didn’t have anybody that was available until after the weekend. So I had to wait. After that they came out and fixed the issue.

    The water pipe in the master bath broke and the American Home Shield rep was understanding. I called it in on a Thursday though and it was Monday before anyone got out. The contractor took care of it immediately. There was a leak in the supply line going into the tank so it filled the bathroom with about an inch of water. Fortunately, I was there when it happened and it was cleaned up immediately. Fans were brought in to dry it and we took care of the damage. I turned off the water and we were without a master bath or master toilet for the balance of those days. When we’ve called AHS out, the response has been the same day or next day. This was the first time that there was a delay. I didn’t like it and I was miffed but I’m smart enough to realize when a holiday is there, that’s what you gotta deal with. Still, I have given good recommendations in the past to those who’ve asked about AHS and I continually renewed.

    There was a leakage in the shower faucet, and the faucet was dripping in the bottom. Dempsey Oil was assigned to the claim and I called them. Within a day, they scheduled, and they were very professional and courteous. The technician showed up within a day and he tried to fix it in a couple of ways and it didn’t work, and then he went out and got a product. It took him about four hours, but he fixed it the same day. Everything looks really good. I was very happy with the service. The problem was solved on time professionally.

    When I filed my claim, AHS's website was quick. I was told that I would hear from the contractor within 24 hours. They called and had the repair scheduled. They then showed up within the window they gave. The contractor was very easy to talk to, knowledgeable, prompt and quick. I was having a problem with my refrigerator, which was giving an error message, and he had it fixed. Part of the issue was the cooling unit itself had a lot of build-up around it. He removed all that build-up around it, which was what was creating the error message. Essentially, it was treating it like it was trying to overheat the cooling unit itself.

    Overall, it was a great experience. It was very prompt and quick. It was the first time that I’ve had to do a claim and I'm very satisfied with the results. AHS is a great service. There is not a lot of out-of-pocket from the consumer’s standpoint. And it gives you peace of mind that you have a thing. My home was 14 years old when we purchased it and with the uncertainty of things coming to end of life and breaking, it’s good to know that I have a small amount that I have to pay out.

    American Home Shield sent someone from Realty Rekey to change our lock. He spent several hours rebuilding the locks. I was kind of impressed with all of the equipment that he had with various tumblers. He was quite an expert in the field. I had three doors that needed to have something done and he didn’t fool around. He was here working. After I filed a claim it took him about a week to come out. When it came to changing the locks and a few other things I would have liked it to have happened sooner. But that’s okay. It’s all over and done with and the work he did was excellent.

    I had a clog that was in the sink, and American Home Shield had sent out Intercity Plumbing. They were in a hurry, and they said they needed to come back and they needed to modify this and so many different things. They didn’t do the job. When American Home Shield sent Plumbers Inc out, the tech did the job. He took the plug off and saw where the clog was, and he put the snake through there and he was on his way in 30 minutes.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for years. I normally do my claims online. It’s really easy. It always seems to be every time we use it, the people that come out, most of the time, seem to always find a reason not to do the job. The first contractor they sent out for the sink said they came out of Palm Springs. Palm Springs is quite a distance away, and it was almost like they were trying to get back home before it got dark. They brought out this little snake and said, “Well, that’s as far as the snake can go.”

    They didn’t really do the job that needed to be done to unclog the line. And then they said, “Well, you got an L-shape, and we need to put in a different type of fitting.” And then they said, “Oh, you got some water down there in the thing, and we don’t wanna go down there now.” They came up with every excuse instead of doing the job the way it was supposed to have been done. AHS didn’t just take the contractor’s word. They sent for a second opinion with no charge if the person that came out had seen that that wasn’t what the first contractor said. It was pretty professional the way that was done.

    My dishwasher timer broke on 12/23/2019 and it is 2 months later still broken. Paid $75 service fee and contractor came out within the week to determine the problem. Contractor said they needed to order the part and would return when the part arrived. 4 weeks later after they said American Home Shield cancelled the order. Contractor ordered the part to be expedited and returned to install the part on 1/25/2020. Contractor told me another part broke and they would have to order another part.

    On 2/20/2020 after not hearing from AHS they told me they could not reach the contractor and could not verify if the part had been shipped. AHS told me they would reach out to the contractor and follow up with me. I never received a call and on 2/24/2020 I had to settle for a $75 service fee refund because customer service could not authorize anything else. AHS supervisor would not disclose her managers name or a way to contact corporate office other than a address in Memphis. I never thought it would take this long and how could AHS partner with such a bad contractor. They stopped answering my phone calls and AHS could not provide any reimbursement. This is our first claim with AHS since moving into a flipped house. I have paid 2 years on monthly payments and this is how they value customers. I will be notifying our realtors and homeowner friends to stay clear of American Home Shield.

    After calling American Home Shield, a technician came to my home on January 29, 2020 in an attempt to repair my oven and refrigerator. I called the technician on January 30, 2020 to report that stove was not working and the oven made a bomb sound when I turned it on and off. The technician informed me he cleaned the burners on the stove and had ordered a part for the oven. I stated that, "You told me that you had repaired the stove by cleaning it." He replied that he had been working in this business for so long that he know what was wrong with the stove and oven without checking them. He told me not to use the stove and oven until he repairs them.

    On February 6, 2020, I sent the technician a video of the sound that the refrigerator was making. He replied, "Hmmmmmm interesting. I will recheck it when I return with parts for oven. Is the unit still cooling?" I responded that I didn't check to see if the unit was cooling. He replied, "Ok, just let me know, Thanks." I did not respond. On February 20, 2020, I spoke with three representatives from AHS regarding an update on the status of my repairs. The first representative attempted to reach out to an associate in the parts department but was unable to reach anyone and left a voice message. He then transferred me to the second representative, whom he said would discuss the option of replacing both appliances.

    The second representative immediately informed me that I should have not been transferred to her department to discuss a replacement. She then transferred me to the third representative who informed me that I had been approved for replacement of the oven and that someone from the purchasing department called me on February 3, 2020 to offer me the option of a new oven. I responded if someone called offering a new oven, I would have accepted that offer. I would like a new oven. The third representative stated that she would call me on February 21, 2020 between 8-9 am. Well, she never called.

    On February 24, 2020, I spoke with two representative from AHS. The first representative in customer service informed me that I had been approved for the replacement of both appliances. She also apologized for any inconvenience that this has caused and for the representative that did not returned the call on Friday, February 21, 2020 as she had promised. She then transferred me to second representative. After explaining to that representative the reason for the call and my previous call to AHS, he informed me that customer service cannot see all the notes that he could see in purchasing department. He went on to say that I had not been approved for the replacement of my oven or refrigerator and they were waiting to hear from the parts department regarding the parts. He also stated that an attempt was made on February 20, 2020 to reach someone in the parts department and voice message was left with department.

    I asked about a cash out for the appliances and he informed me that cash payment was not an option because the parts had been ordered and they are waiting for a return call from the Parts Department. At this point I am beyond frustrated and angry. I stated, the technician came out January 29, 2020. I have called several times for an update (before 2/20/20) and it is now February 24, 2020. Has anyone tried to call the parts department since 2/20/20? I stated that AHS does not have a problem taking my monthly payment nor did the technician have a problem of taking my payment before coming to my home. Put me on hold and call the parts department now.

    After being placed on hold for about 2-3 minutes, the representative informed me that the parts department was waiting to see if I was going to accept the cash out payment. I replied that "You all are full of ..." and hung up the phone. This has been the worst experience ever!!!! Can a representative from the corporate office assist me?

    I switched to American Home Shield after having a bad experience with another home warranty company. Before signing the agreement I went over all the things I had a problem with before which included: (1) Poor service - took too long to get something repaired, (2) Kept repairing old appliances which should have been replaced, (3) When something broke or had to be replaced I ended up spending additional money for items not covered, (4) When I finally got fed up and wanted to cancel the contract it cost me to get out of it. I covered all of these things in detail with the customer service rep before I signed the agreement and I was assured they didn't operate like this and I would have no problems.

    Here's what I went through with American Home Shield. (1) When my dryer broke which was approximately 30 years old the service technician came out and said the appliance was so old they couldn't get parts. They informed American Home Shield and instead of replacing the unit they went looking for parts. After 3 weeks with no dryer and several phone calls they finally got the part for it. (2) My heat pump was 31 years old and every year there was an issue. Last year I spent over $800 on it in addition to my monthly fee from American Home Shield because Freon isn't covered under their warranty. My air conditioner broke again this year and I was told I would have to pay over $1,200 in addition to my $100 service fee to get the air conditioner repaired.

    When you sign up for American Home Shield you think you will pay the monthly service fee and you're covered but you aren't. You get stuck paying for all these items that aren't covered under the contract. I canceled the contract with American Home Shield and got a friend of mine who owns an air conditioning company to come out and look at the unit. He told me the unit was 31 years old and it was ridiculous to pay $1,200 for a unit that old that was leaking. American Home Shield should have replaced the unit but they didn't so rather than have problems every year I canceled them and replaced the unit myself.

    I had a dishwasher that broke that needed to be replaced and because they only provide the basic replacement model I ended up having to upgrade the unit and pay over $200 to get it in a color that matched the rest of the appliances in my kitchen. I just wanted a black dishwasher but this was an upgrade. For the years I had American Home Shield it would have been better for me to have purchased all new appliances rather than pay them $600 a year plus service call fees and additional fees that aren't covered under their contract.

    I specifically asked the customer service rep before signing the service agreement if I wanted to cancel my contract at any time would there be a penalty and they said no. Do yourself a favor and record your conversations if you are allowed to in your state as evidence because you will be told many lies by the customer service reps.

    All the contractors that have come out have been great. It's been easy to file claims and get things taken care of. It's been a seamless experience. One time, I submitted a claim a little before 5:00 and thought to call just to see if maybe the plumber could come out the next day. I told him water was coming down and he wanted to make sure there wasn't any damage. He lived in my area, so he was able to come that evening and he said he could fix it.

    He was very knowledgeable. I had a few questions, and he answered them. I didn't know how to turn off the water to the house and he showed me how to do that as well as where the leak was coming from. I hovered a little and made a comment about it. He's like, "I have no problem for you standing right there. If you have any questions, let me know." He was really professional. I would like to continue to use him if I have plumbing issues. If I could just keep being assigned to him, that would be wonderful. I really felt comfortable with him.
