    I had a plumbing issue and AHS sent SDL Plumbing. This was my first experience filing a claim and it was reasonably easy. AHS communicated well. They have a good process. It took 24 hours for the contractor to contact me after I did the claim and they went out quickly. It took two different plumbers to look at the issue. The first one did not feel like he was handling it as effectively as they could. So the second one came out the next day and pronounced the plumbing as being in good shape. I've not had an issue since.

    American Home Shield's contractor, Clean Disposal, came to pump my septic. I liked their service and their pleasantness. They were honest people and walked me through everything. They told me why they were doing what they were doing and took time to explain it. AHS has done a lot better than the other warranty company I had. With that other company, I had to fight to get stuff done. AHS has been great so far.

    I’ve been happy with American Home Shield's contractors. They’ve been good, on time, and friendly. When I had a leak underground, they sent a plumber who got the leak detector and found the leak. It was coming out of the main pipe into the dining room. He then came back, dug it up and fixed it. I had to pay $400 plus the $100 service fee and things have gone well.

    Submitting my claim with AHS was easy. I just needed to find out what my policy number was. My AC wouldn’t heat up and the guy who came out said he tested everything and couldn’t find anything. Now that it has warmed up, we’re not gonna need our heat but it’s an AC heat pump, so there are AC and Heat. And we'd need the AC here shortly.

    The washer was making a lot of noise. They had to replace the bearings. The tech was very good. He took care of the problem and everything was fixed that day he came here. He didn’t have to wait for parts. The washer had been pretty good since then. But when I had my pool heater broken, AHS said the electric pool heater was not covered and I didn’t know I had an electric pool heater. We also had a claim when my daughter’s room light was broken and that took a month to get fixed. The first guy that showed up said he was gonna order the parts. Something was wrong with the lights and it blew out. It didn’t get fixed in two weeks. I figured the parts can’t take that long, so I called AHS back. The rep was trying to call the company they sent out and he wasn’t getting an answer back. So after not getting an answer back, they decided to send somebody else out. The new tech had to reorder the parts. So it took close to three and half weeks.

    The sink was dripping. In addition, the tub was spraying water out of the faucet handle. The only way to take any shower was to keep turning on and off the hot water down at the bottom. The tech from Central Ohio Home Maintenance was absolutely wonderful to work with. He explained everything that he was doing, so I had no questions. He gave me follow ups, too. He had to come back. He had to order a part because we were missing a part. For me he went above and beyond trying to find parts. I need to call him about the bathtub though but the sink is working. Having an AHS coverage has made everything a lot easier than dealing with our previous warranty company.

So, when it was time for me to finally buy a house, I said, “You know what, I’m doing them too.” I filed a claim for them to change locks, and ARCO came out to rekey my doors in less than 24 hours.

    We had an issue with the pool, which was starting to leak and make noises because the bearings were going. I went online, told AHS I got a problem with the pool, and then they emailed me back. They said that somebody from ABNation would contact me within 24 hours and somebody did. We set up the time for them to come out. The technician came with the motor, switched it up and boom, done. However, the tech that came out sometime last year wasn't quite as good as this last one, who was perfect. We've also had a dishwasher repair. We got a good response time and tech.

    As a whole, American Home Shield has been helpful. They have explained things to me and although I'm still having a problem with the plumbing, they took care of it. They also did a good job on my claim for changing the keys. The person that handled the call was knowledgeable and helpful. They wanted to know what I needed at American Shield and they explained a lot of things. I told them that I had read the contract and they asked if I had any questions. The only thing I kept on thinking was whether I would have to pay for parts. But I realize now that I don’t have to pay for parts.

    I was also told that within 24 to 48 hours, I would receive a call and with the locksmith, Keymaster Lock and Key, it was not even that long. I received the call on the same day, which was a Friday, and he said, “How about tomorrow?” So it was the very next day after I had called in to American Home Shield that he came out and rekeyed all of the locks. It was at 11 o’clock. I had had three telephone calls from him when he answered my request and then he called right before he came on Saturday morning too. It was just wonderful customer service. He’s really a people person too. He gave me his card, introduced himself and was professional. Then he had good skills as well. He had the work done within two hours. He was wonderful to work with. In fact, I asked him to put a deadlock on my garage door and he went out and bought the deadbolts for my door. He sent me a picture of it to see if it was the right color. I would recommend him.

    HVAC Repairs came, they fixed the issue, and I haven’t had a problem with it. I didn’t know I had to pay $100 for the service fee, but that’s the only thing that was kinda harsh. Some companies will come out free and tell you what's wrong. They need to make money somehow, but I'm just not a big fan of that $100. It’s a little bit expensive. I've heard that American Home Shield was the better one than the others, so we went with it. Initially, I didn’t know I had to have it 60 days. So, that kinda threw me off because I ended up paying for the service myself. It’d be nice to know that upfront. I guess they do that to protect themselves. I can see why they're probably doing that. I got a small company. So, that was probably fair enough because somebody can have something break and then they wanna call and get a warranty.

The contractors that they use have all done a good job. I've had someone come out for my refrigerator a couple of times for the freezer part of it. Also, I had a leak underneath my kitchen sink and STL Plumbing was sent out.

    My washer blew up and I was without one for three weeks but it was replaced. American Home Shield told me that I was due for $811 and that’s what I got. I sent a receipt back because I had to get a washer and a dryer, and they sent me a check. At the same time, one of my burners burned out on my stove. The first time the technician came, he didn’t look at the stove and said it needed to be replaced. I called American Home Shield and told them that nobody looked at it and I don’t think it needs to be replaced. So, the technician came back out and didn’t realize he hadn’t looked at it or that it was on the ticket. But they were nice and it was very well done.

    I've had American Home Shield Since 1980 and I like having someone to call that’s gonna fix things. But a lot of times, I want certain companies. One time with American Home Shield, the guy that I wanted was busy and they sent me someone else. I took a picture of the part that he put because it came in a box, like he bought it on eBay. That was the only time I was ever unhappy. I said when I sent them the picture that I wanted the guys that normally come out to come back and check to make sure. That was when they said that that part would have made my warranty go away. AHS is great. They’ve got no surprise bills and they’re wonderful to work with. I had another bad experience with AHS where it took me forever to get an oven replaced but that fortunately was in the summer when I could cook on the grill outside. So, it wasn’t horrible-horrible.

    We had two things happen at the same week, the dishwasher and the washing machine, and American Home Shield sent two separate companies out, one of which was Coastal Appliance. One of the contractors called right away and then scheduled the repair on their next available day, which was two to three days after the initial call. On the dishwasher, they replaced some parts and thought that was going to fix it. And then, after they fixed it, I found out that there was a hole on the tub and that was where my leak was. So, they ended up having to replace the dishwasher. Everything has been corrected on both products.

    The only thing that gets me, however, is that it seems like the prices keep going up. I just got my new service plan and it went up from last year. I wish there was a loyalty program.

    A year and a half ago, I decided I should get an AHS warranty again after having it in Vancouver for eight years. My Dremel tool in the bathroom stopped working and I went out to the electric box to see what was going on. When I switched the breaker for the bathroom, the power went out in the upstairs loft, the second bedroom and the office. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the power back on.

    I submitted a claim to AHS and their tech from Travers Electric come out. It turned out that whoever put the breaker in hadn't screwed the screws in. So, the electrician came in and screwed all those screws in and now, my lights all work. With AHS, I can just email them and tell them what's going on. Then, I get texted or called to let me know that my work has been assigned and they give me the phone number of the contractor it is assigned to. It all works easy. AHS is awesome.

    I requested for a plumber to come in for my toilet last week through AHS and I wasn't pleased at all. I needed someone anywhere from 4 to 5 pm on any day. It didn’t have to be that day or that week and they said, “I’m sorry, we can’t have anybody after 4 o’clock.” I asked if another person could do it and they said, “No, we don’t do that. That would be inconvenient for our people.” It seemed like it was more for the employees than for the customer. I felt very disregarded.

    But the gentleman who came was very, very good. I was very pleased with him. He said that a valve in the toilet was clogged so he put a new valve in. There’s been no problem at all since he came out. But my time is running out using AHS.

    When I first called and told American Home Shield that my air conditioning unit was not working properly, AUS came out. The guy checked it and said there was nothing wrong with it. So he left and he wrote a report that he had checked both the heat and the air and that the unit was fine. The next couple of days, the unit was not working. We were having cold weather one day and hot the next day here in Austin. So I was having to use both heat and air during the time period that it wasn’t working. So I called them again. They came out. This time, the young man changed something, and he fixed something in it. He did some kinda repair work on it but the unit still did not work, so I had to call them a third time. And whatever he did that third time, he said he didn’t do anything. But it's been working fine ever since that third visit.

    We've had American Home Shield here in Austin for about 10 to 15 years, and we had a house in Memphis that they also covered for us. My husband set this up before he passed away so that we’d have some coverage on our appliances, and they've always been responsive, which is good.

    We have not been able to use our pool heater for the last four months because it was in an error mode setting. We’re now in the process of selling our house, so we knew that it was important to get our pool heater fixed, but any pool stuff is expensive. So, we’re glad that we added that to the Home Shield. The dude came out right in the time window that he said he would come out and told us what was wrong with it. When he showed up on Tuesday, he already knew the problem because it was a common one. He said he had to order the part but he'd be back on Friday. On Thursday afternoon, he called and said he had the part. He asked if he could come and put the part in then instead of waiting ‘til Friday. That was exactly how Home Shield is supposed to work. It was awesome.

    The guy was great and super knowledgeable. He seemed like a good guy and he came in a very clean vehicle, obvious that he was with the company. He had a company trailer too. He showed me how it worked, walked me through everything, showed me why the other one failed, and now my kids are already jumping in the hot tub.

    One year, I went through Thanksgiving with no stove. That was a disaster. I had about 30 people over for dinner and didn't have a stove to cook in. It has been a little nerve-racking at times. And this time, I'm still waiting for AHS to come and finish the repairs from the 14th. Initially, I had a problem with the washing machine. They asked me for all the information about the washing machine. But when the people came, they didn't have any type of parts even related to what could be the problem. They went back and set up another date when they'd return with the parts, and that was another process. We've had no washing for about three weeks now. I've had to go to the laundromat a lot.

    Contractors usually call within a few days, but I usually call myself. After the last experience, I had to try to move things along, but they tell you you can't call out for yourself. This particular time, something went wrong. While the gentleman was here, my dishwasher also went out. I tried to pay the fee and have them look also at that while they were here, and they couldn't. I was sent to another contractor. I was a little upset about that. You got all these different people running in and out of your house when they couldn't give the claim to the same contractor that I have for my washer or dryer.

    AHS should be a little more efficient when they ask you what is going on and troubleshoot. At least send contractors out with minor parts. They ask you for the model number, what type of machine and what's wrong with it. I myself could figure out what was wrong with it. I just didn't have the parts. The technicians basically know what you're telling them. So they should come at least with something to try to repair it with, instead of just coming, looking at it and then making me wait for another week or two. It's just such a long drawn-out process. Although in the long run, I was satisfied.

    I submitted a claim with Home Shield online for a leak on one of my hoses at my pump area. Home Shield's website was outstanding. It said somebody would contact me within 12 to 24 hours and they did it within one hour. The tech replaced where the leak was. He had to clean it up and he put some more glue on there. He even had to put a different pipe on it, but he fixed it with no problem. I looked yesterday and there was no leak at all. The pool company, Alchemist Pool Service, was amazing. Home Shield is dependable.

    At first, I was impressed at how quick AHS got going on my plumbing issue. Filing the claim was also very easy. They sent the plumber out and he seemed very knowledgeable and decent. But he's saying it's $25,000 for a leak that insurance won't cover because it's under the house. Now AHS is saying they don't cover either and I don't have $25,000. I had asked if I could go online and look at my policy, and they said no. They have to mail it to me which I thought was weird in 2020.

    I asked them why it is $25,000. It's not like the whole below the house is blown up. My brother had his done and it was $10,000. So I don't know if it's the plumber. I've used AHS one time and it was handled well, so it was a good thing to pay monthly just in case. But the frustrating thing is we pay our monthly thing, we haven't really used the home warranty, and it's not even good. We're having our own plumber come today and see if this is kind of a little scam thing.

    AHS sent out a tech from Astro Appliances to work on my refrigerator. But after the first visit, it didn’t cool the way it was supposed to. And they came back out and fixed it. Whenever I have a claim, I submit it over the phone and it usually takes 15 minutes to get a rep. Then, a repair person is sent out a few days later. All in all, I’m satisfied with AHS and I haven't had any issues with them. But it seems like they are more in tune with patching the problem than fixing it. I’ve had American Home Shield for many years and there have been times when an appliance was obviously on its last leg, but they just wanted to keep it going before they replaced it.

    I got rekeyed and AHS sent out River City Locksmith to do it. I submitted the claim online then got a text saying that the contractors were gonna contact me. AHS also gave me their number if I wanted to contact them and I did. They were very responsive and my experience with them was great. But I'm having problems on another claim right now and I'm pretty frustrated about it. I had two plumbing issues that I called in for, one of which was a leaky bathtub faucet and one was a sink. The guy who came out seemed good then he said he was gonna go get parts for the bath tub and come back. He said he'd call me but he never did. I eventually called and told him that it would be great if he could at least get the kitchen sink done, so he came back and fixed that. But until now, the tub is a steady stream which I'm sure is gonna affect my water bill.

    I would call him and he'd say he'd check on the parts and let me know. But he never called me. So we're three weeks into it and they're being completely unprofessional. There's still no communication and they just dropped my claim. I finally called Home Shield and they reopened it. So at the moment, I have a claim with them again. But I haven't heard from the tech, though I'm not up to the 48 hours yet, so they better call today. Also, I asked AHS if I could have a different plumber, but their rep said no. She said they'd contact his company and if they don't contact me within 48 hours, they'd let me know.

    The contractor, Affordable Appliance, came to the house to check my washer, dryer and my icebox. They said that ice maker was not covered so they did not fix it. There wasn't really anything wrong with it and I just needed to change the filter. So, I didn't have any concerns with anything. I have more concerns with American Home Shield than I did with them. I’ve been with AHS for 20 something years and I like them but they switched up the contract on me. A couple of years ago, my air conditioner broke and they covered it. After that, they went high on my copay and my payment. I used to pay $75 and now, I pay $102. I pay that monthly and I was told that I wasn't gonna have everything covered. So, it's not a good deal.

    I had an issue with my heater recently and I went online to submit a claim with AHS. I got service immediately and the contractor that came out was great. I'm also having that same company come do my air conditioning check for the early season. Aside from that, I called AHS because I'm up for renewal and I have some questions about the contract. I got put on hold and my experience was a total joke. I was showing them exactly in my contract where I have a question but they couldn't answer it. They couldn't find somebody who could answer it either. And it wasn't an issue with the people I was talking to as they just had a script and that was obvious. But that was really pathetic and terrible. And not understanding the contract including what AHS would cover is a big deal when you're spending 700.

    Also, when they put me on hold, that returned me back to the general menu. So I started going through all four options again. So, that piece of it was really disappointing. Now, I don't know if I wanna renew with them because my question was very specific. It was how much they'll pay for replacements and things like that because in the contract, there's just a weird little statement there. But after going through options one, two, three and four, I realized it wasn't gonna work. So, I gave up. Another thing is, they keep jacking up their prices every year significantly, which is crazy. But besides that, my experiences with the contractors and the people that have come to the house over the years, as well as how fast AHS responds, were good.

    Customer service is abysmal. Contractor did not contact me, so I checked my account to get the number to call them and contractor lied to AHS. No attempt was ever made to contact me, but contractor lied "unable to contact customer." They never tried. AHS used to reassign a service request to another contractor if there was an issue, but apparently now they don't? That is a horrible customer experience, especially after 22 minutes of the non-English-speaking offshored call center rep not understanding what I'm asking and wasting my time talking about unrelated things. Awful! I'm cancelling this home warranty plan. They used to be fine, but are really poor now. Bad contractors and bad customer service.

    The initial service fee is high for having a contractor come out to our home. And sometimes when the contractor comes out, there's not much that can be done or what they end up finding out isn't covered under the warranty anyway. So then, I end up spending more than if I would've gotten the problem taken care of myself. I had a claim with my HVAC unit and that was a terrible experience, but it was with a contractor that they serviced with, not particularly with American Home Shield. But in a recent claim, Greenway Home took care of the garbage disposal and it all went perfectly. Overall, the contractors have been as good as any other contractor that I’ve hired on my own.

    I have three homes with Home Shield. Their contractors fixed up pretty well. Most of the time, I don't have to have them back. However, it's horrible to submit claims over the phone and online is just as bad. You have to wait online for an eternity and you have to listen to the same music over and over again. Also, contract numbers aren't something that you typically have available. Home Shield should make it easier to be able to look up each contract, know what you want. Online has the basics, but you can make a selection that is you got a leak, but you don't know where it is. There's no way to actually say that online. And to get somebody out there, you have to pick something, and then they come out and it's the wrong person for the wrong job. If there was another choice in front of me that had better rating, I would pick them.

    What Durango of Alabama was supposed to do is put in a water gauge. I asked them to show me the complete bill but they said they couldn’t. I called American Home Shield but they won’t tell me what the total price of everything that we’ve done. Durango did digging and charged $253 and $175 to put the water meter in. Installation was fine, but it was awful for $253.

    I called Durango back and I said, “You mean you’re not gonna pay them for digging up the thing and you know that’s where they’re gonna have to put it?” They said that’s called “access to something”, like if something’s happened behind the wall. They are thinking what it is behind the wall but they’re not gonna pay for the demolition of whatever is a good wall to get to it. And I said, “How stupid is that?”

    The utility company outsmarts Durango all the time. They know that Durango does not pay for modification so they write up everything and put mods on it. That way the customer would have to pay for it ‘cause they don’t modify, but then I would kinda agree with this because the guy showed me where he took out an old pipe and put in a new pipe. I would think modification went along with this.

    This happened not long ago when CNS put in an air conditioning unit. The utility company said the air conditioning pad was modified, but we got the same pad that was down there for that air conditioning unit. This house was built in ’63. Electricity wasn’t modified and we were told all those lies. They got American Home Shield book them but they write for the things that they know American Home Shield won’t pay for. One of them is modification. They always put a modification on any kind of thing that they do at the homeowner’s house, so they know they’re gonna get the money from the homeowner.

    CNS told us that American Home Shield said for us to give them a check for $2,000. We gave them a check for $2,000 but when I called American Home Shield, they said, “You did what?” I said, “The contractor said you all told me to give them $2,000.” I kept calling American Home Shield back. But I think CNS also sent them the $2,000 bill just like they charged us $2,000. AHS got double paid. I guess I was so excited that day because we had been without an air conditioned so when we were told that American Home Shield said, “Do this,” I said, “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

    AHS told me I shouldn’t have done that. I said, “If the contractor who you sent out tells me that you all said that we have to pay them $2,000 because of the modification and pay it, were they lying? What was I supposed to do?” And I argued with them forever about trying to get our money back, but I gave up. Why can’t AHS tell us though what was the total bill? We paid them 63.99 for insurance for the month. We gave them $100 service charge. We paid the contractor an additional $450. What did you pay for?

    I'm gonna file a complaint against AHS and the two contractors that’s been to our house. But I'm not really blaming the contractors who put the water gauge in. I just wanna know why AHS can’t tell us what the total bill was and where do you go where you can get a total price of what AHS pays and what we pay. As soon as I get done with them finally, I'm taking this to the Better Business Bureau and talk to them about what AHS is doing. We have been treated unfairly on both of these occasions. That $2,000 was just a total rip-off on our part. We should’ve gotten our money back on that. Overall, I'm very dissatisfied with AHS right now.

The heater is working now. Also, I had a claim for the dishwasher and Dustin from Montezuma was out here about a week ago. There was a problem with the way it was lined up and he came out and fixed that. He did good on getting it all fixed.

    Started with American Home Shield when we bought the house in 2011. Garage Harmony came out and I thought they’d just showed up, put a new spring, and it's a one-time thing. But I guess our garage is not that simple. They had to custom-cut the spring so it took a couple extra days. But for it not being a nonstandard spring, they handled it really well. They communicated really well. They were constantly keeping us up to date on stuff. They did better than a lot of other folks that come out and work on other things.

    Probably just more of a regional thing, but I’ve had issues with American Home Shield. Part of the reason why I have it still is because it provides some level of convenience if somebody needs to show up in one to three days. If I didn’t have American Home Shield and I’m just calling contractors, it takes them two weeks to show up. That doesn’t help me out.

    But for pool equipment stuff, that’s just not the case. No pun intended, but the pool of vendors for pool work is very small. Even when it’s like, “You’ve got something scheduled and there’s supposed to be out there in a couple days,” they still may not show up for two weeks, three weeks, or months. That’s been frustrating. But at the same time, if I tried to contact these companies directly, it’s even longer.

    But the thing that’s been frustrating with American Home Shield is I’ve had things misdiagnosed in terms of does it fit in the contract or not. Then they’ll send out the second contractor and the third contractor to verify that it was part of a system-covered thing. It’s frustrating because the first guy, he reported incorrectly, but they won’t accept that. It’s like I’m trying to cheat them. It’s original equipment, not home management equipment. But I guess maybe that’s just part of them making sure they’re not taken advantage of.

    American Home Shield was very responsive when I've had to use them. The person they were contracted with came and did the work, which was done proficiently and in a timely manner. I called D&J Appliances because they had a 3-star rating and I had a little hesitation. At first, I thought, “Why would AHS send me a 3-star rating person?” D&J Appliances said that somebody was holding them hostage and wanted them to pay $500 to get their rating removed.

    The contractor who came was an older gentleman. He said he had been in business since 1950 so he has a good reputation. He sent me a text message confirming the appointment, a text message when the technician was on the way, and then a technician even called me. Also, they told me 7 to 14 business days, but they came back sooner. They called me and did the repair.

    A metal bar had come off inside the freezer and it made a really loud noise. It was 26 and ¾ inches long metal square rod laying in the bottom of my freezer. I called American Home Shield and their rep looked up our warranty record so that she could see what we were covered for and then she assigned the service call to Wright Appliance. I was given a three to four-hour window for them to come and they were really good to work with. The first time they came, they were within the window. Then they had to order parts and the second time they came to make the repair, they were early. They had also contacted me and said that the technician was gonna come early. He was here and gone before my appointment time. He was a nice guy. He told me what he was doing and he was all business-like. He knew what he was doing. Everything has been working great. The freezer is like new.

    Our house wasn't a brand-new construction and was previously owned. We are very glad to have AHS ‘cause at this point, we can’t afford to replace an air conditioner.

    The drip pan was rusting, so the guy from Airmax came out, replaced it and did a tune-up on the air conditioning unit. The last two contractors I had, Airmax and the plumber, were, both did a good job. They were responsive and they came in the window they said they would be. However, I don't like American Home Shield's website at all. It is too limiting in what you are trying to describe. The claim has got to fit into one of their categories for you to try to explain it. It is easy if I have a leak in the house, but, sometimes, it is not that easy to communicate. They put the repairs in five or six categories and it is not enough. The repair could be at a different category. It might not fall under where you have a leaky faucet, but the descriptors are too narrowing. I either got to say, “I got a leaky faucet,” when I really did not, and that would activate a plumber coming to see you. Yet, I did not have a leaky faucet, and there was something else they replaced.

    American Home Shield is it is very difficult unless I read the fine print on my contract of what is covered and what is not. So, you have a home warranty for that reason, and I feel like they want to charge you more for you to add more. A home warranty should be easier and simpler to execute other than I got to pay a hundred extra dollars a month to have things covered. When I first started, it was such a great deal, and then it got more limiting over time. Overall, I’m satisfied with the services rendered, but there could be an even better process to make the initial request.

The tech came and said, “Oh, I have to order the part.” They ordered the part and then that was the issue because I called almost 10 times to find out when they were coming. Then they said, “The piece is not here yet. It’s coming tomorrow. They should call you.” They never called me. I had to call them back. But finally it was done. That’s the most important thing. I submitted the claim, January 30, and it was done like on the 23rd. I used to have AHS on the other house, too. I recommend it to a lot of people.

    Submitting claims through American Home Shield is generally okay. I do it by calling and it doesn’t take long to get someone. They all seem competent too. That’s why we keep going with them. We've been with Home Shield for a long time. The only complaint I have is that they do not replace like for like. That drives me crazy. This is a $600 kitchen faucet and they were just gonna give us a chrome faucet. Ours is the oil rubbed bronze. It has the two sensors in it. The cheapest we could find this faucet was 400-something on Home Depot and they gave us 200-something towards it. So that is the one thing I don’t like.

    I love American Home Shield and we’re family. At first I didn’t fully understand what they were because I bought this home from someone else and he paid for a year for the warranty. At the same time, there was something else with All America Air Conditioner. So, it was all-new and I thought they were the same thing. I was not paying attention, then American Home Shield kinda canceled out because I didn’t make the payment. Then one night, I couldn’t sleep, I got up and was watching TV. There was a commercial about American Home Shield and that was when I fully came to understand. Then I called them and reactivated the policy. I only had a 30-day waiting period and before anything kicked in, my garbage disposal went out about 40 days later, so it was perfect timing for me.

    A repair person named Mark came out to look at it and he was a very nice man. He discovered that it was just rusted out in parts and he couldn’t fix it, so he replaced it with a brand new one. Then he left me with a warranty booklet. But in bold and in several places on the front of the booklet, it said the warranty would not be in effect without the receipt. And he was gone when I realized I didn’t have a receipt. So, I called the office of the plumbing company he worked for and I spoke with a lady. She asked me for my email and said that she would make certain that I got a copy of the receipt. But a week or so later, I still hadn’t received it. So, I called back again and spoke with a different lady there at the plumbing company. Her attitude was a little lackadaisical and she just said that she'd tell the manager and hope I'd get the receipt because only the manager could give me a receipt.

    But I didn't understand the attitude. Sometimes, people would respond to your attitude, but I didn’t have an attitude because I was just asking for a receipt. She did ask me if the tech gave me a warranty book and I told her that he did. I also said that that was why I was calling as there has to be a receipt attached. So far, I haven't gotten the receipt and this has been going on since February 18th. But I will follow up with them again.

    Situation: Few days back I discovered a plumbing leak in an inlet pipe that is accessible through a crawl space accessible through my garage. The dripping of water can be seen through the crawl space. The pipe goes vertical up and the section of the pipe where the leak exists is accessible through a dry wall in my living room. The floor around is a wooden floor.

    AHS's contracted plumbing company gave report that fixing this requires floor access. I have a written quote from my community plumbing company that this can be done using just wall access. However that is secondary to this discussion. However even though it is clearly written in my contract that AHS will provide access to plumbing through roof, floor or wall, the AHS customer support/authorization department is blatantly denying to take up the work and expecting me to provide access to the floor. Below is verbatim extract from the contract. I am so frustrated and surprised how a warranty company can deny the terms/services written in contract????

    "NOTE: Where covered repairs require access to plumbing, AHS will provide access to plumbing only through unobstructed walls, ceilings or floors, and will return access openings to a rough finish. If the plumbing is accessible only through a concrete floor, wall or ceiling, AHS will pay up to $1000 per contract term for access, diagnosis, repair, or replacement of such plumbing, including returning access openings to a rough finish.

Apparently, the house inspector switched off the one for the heater, so I didn’t get any heat for a week or so. I submitted a claim with AHS and when the tech came out, he said that he just switched it on, then the heat came along. He asked me to sign a piece of paper and after I did, he went away. He was an old man and he was friendly. He was also timely and came on the promised time and day.

    Other than that, every time I call American Home Shield, by requirement, I pay $75. But for my last claim, $75 is too much for inspection as well as switching that thing on and off. Then, I found another fault but I'm hesitant to call AHS for another service. I would rather look around and see if one of my friends can do it because every time their techs come, I have to pay $75 upfront.

    I had American Home Shield several years ago and when I decided to get covered again, I went back with them. It’s much better now although I started hearing that there were a lot of problems with them not honoring their service agreements. That was one of the reasons that I quit and this was years ago. I was thinking what the point was if they were not gonna take care of what they need to do. Then, I started reading reviews about them that they had revamped the company and that things were better. I'm single, on a fixed income and if something major was to go wrong, I could be in trouble. So, I thought of giving them a try and I've been very pleased. The contractors have all been very professional and personable. They knew what they were doing the minute they came in. I had one come in to do my winter service and I just had one this week to do service on my HVAC, and they were great.

    I submitted a claim to AHS because my garbage disposal didn’t work. I called AHS and the contractor came out in two days. His quality of work was really good. It got done super fast. He was also very good about calling and letting me know when he was coming, and so I could plan my day. The thing was they said, between 1:00 and 4:00. I said, “Okay, I'll plan on doing that.” But I ended up being home in the morning. And he called me and said, “I was wondering if it’d be okay if I came earlier,” which I was here, and I said, “that’d be great.” And that way, it freed up the rest of my day.

    I've been with American Home Shield for some years. I started out with them and when my income changed, I had to stop, and then I rejoined. I like that if I have an appliance that needs to be repaired, I can have it done without going into a greater expense if I did not have the service. Initially, when I joined, I paid the service fee once the person had come. Now, I pay it before. I don’t like that. Also, when I initially joined, the fee was a little different. It went up. It was only like 60-some dollars and then it went up to 75.

    The latest claim that I had was on my dishwasher that needed to be repaired. The contractor was very efficient and he gave me some advice. I’m in a hard water area, and he let me know the effect that it sometimes has, especially on the brand that I have because the brand that I have came with the house. My other appliances are a different brand. And he was saying this particular brand has issues. It was leaking because a hose had come loose and he shared why. He was very good.

    The water heater was not heating properly and SDL Plumbing did a great job. I submitted the claim online and it was definitely easy. The contractor came out a day later. They did not come out right away because they had to set it up and get the time when they were available to come out. Nevertheless, they were informative. The guy gave me a lot of information concerning what was going on and it didn’t take him long to fix it all in one day. He went right to it, got the right parts in and the water heater hasn’t given us any trouble since they’ve done it. However, the heater had two elements and he only replaced the one that he said was defect. He said that the other element in the heater was good.

    I have American Home Shield for both of my buildings in California and in Illinois. Sometimes I worry when they send companies, but not so much here in Illinois. But in California, it has been kind of hit-or-miss, especially with some of the companies. It’s a little bit better or worse depending on what it is. But I found that all the ones here in Illinois have been great so far. I like Drain & Plumbing a lot. I found them through American Home Shield, and they're a really honest company.

    I get really scared with plumbing because water is insidious, and because they're so pinpointed on what is covered and not covered and then they only do this minor repair that may lead to other issues. In California, I have some experience in my building that there were repairs done, and I don’t know by whom because sometimes they're not on site. They used galvanized steel plumbing next to copper plumbing without putting a neutralizer in between it. You have to use brass in between or a certain type of pipe in between if you put copper next to galvanized steel. If you don’t, this thing called electrolysis happens, and then all your pipes get corroded. So it takes one person doing the wrong thing and then it’s hard to go back.

    Most of the service people have 24 hours to get back to you with an appointment and then they don’t have to give you an appointment for that next day. They can give it to you like within 72 hours. Let’s say you call on a Monday to get service, you might not hear back from them till the end of the day, Tuesday. And then they're like, “Sorry. We’re full for the rest of the week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Can we put you on for next Monday?” But I have a 10-year-old. She only takes baths. We can’t get her to shower. So do we not have her bathe for a week? But if I’m willing to pay out of pocket, then I could’ve gotten somebody there on Tuesday.

    The only downside with American Home Shield is that they have a process in which they give them x amount of time. 24 hours seems enough time. But if you call somebody at 9:00 in the morning and you’re not gonna hear back until Tuesday at 5:00, and now they're booked up for the rest of the week, it makes it really frustrating. That’s been the hardest part.

    I have had American Home Shield for a really long time, so I know all the kind of ins and outs. Once I put a work order in, I’ll call back to find out who the company is and I’ll call right away to get on their schedule so I sometimes can get in that same week. But if you leave it to them, you won’t get serviced. It’s not an expedited service thing. That’s really the biggest problem with American Home Shield is that you’re sort of treated like a second-class citizen by the vendors. I live in a very, very expensive neighborhood and people jump to come to our houses because they usually charge two or three times more for our street. It’s really ridiculous.

    We have a gas stove and the igniters just all of a sudden started going off without us turning on the burners. So we had to unplug it so the electric igniters would stop. And then we’d have to use a lighter to light the gas stove. I called AHS and the contractor came out and it took him about two minutes to diagnose what the problem was. He figured out the parts that he needed, and he said he’d order them and come back and install them. He came out on a Tuesday, and on Friday, he called me back and said that the parts came in, but that he had tested them and one of them was bad, so he needed to reorder that one. And so, it was Tuesday of the next week he called back and said that it came in and wanted to schedule it. We scheduled it for Thursday.

    I ended up having to reschedule because I wasn’t available. And then we scheduled it for the following Monday, and he came out and was great. It got fixed up in no time at all. Everything’s great. We’ve had two issues that AHS has dealt with for us. It was something on the water heater. The pilot light wouldn’t stay lit on the water heater. We called AHS and they sent a guy out. He ordered a part, came back out and fixed it. And it seems to be great. I’m glad we got AHS. They've been excellent.

    The customer service reps were pretty good. They were able to be very speedy with me this time. I find that I do best with their services and their vendor partners when I don’t sit back and wait. So I connected quickly with Eurocare for my washing machine. They agreed that they had the request. They had the person in the area that day, which was the following business day from the evening that I placed the service call. The gentleman came right over.

    My biggest delay was in getting American Home Shield to order the parts. American Home Shield is sometimes the bottleneck and then the vendors won’t schedule until they actually have something in hand physically. But on this one, things moved quicker than I expected so that made me very happy. The tech was professional and efficient. Other than American Home Shield not allowing the vendors to carry and put parts in that they may or may not have on them because American Home Shield likes to order the parts from their own central warehouse and be in control of ordering this and when they’re shipped, the tech did just fine. I was very pleased.

    I've had American Home Shield for 14 years at this house and a gazillion years at my other house, so it works for me. I’m satisfied with American Home Shield. Sometimes I have had to escalate to their “executive office” which I don’t really believe is their executive office people.

    Two people came by for my stove and one was horrible. He was not friendly and communicative so AHS sent somebody else out. This is my first time replacing an item and I did not know what the process was. I was not really happy with it, but I have to accept it. I thought that they would cut a check or give me a place where I could go at to get another stove. The stove was very underpriced with what they were willing to give me. I hope they would continue to communicate because I have not had my stove replaced yet, and it would have been nice to have heard back from them asking had I had my stove replaced, and/or give me some suggestions where I could go.

    I had no idea that the stove was gonna be as pricey as it is. They should also forward whatever money that they would give the clients such as myself so that I can have that money at hand when I go to purchase this new appliance. The way that they have it as they described to me, that I will have to purchase it then send them all my receipts, then they will forward me the money. So I’m still looking for a better warranty company because it seems like AHS is not really giving it upfront of what we will get. When they say, “We will replace or repair,” they’re not being clear with replace. They're replacing at a minimum cost, and they’re not saying that.

    The icemaker was not making ice anymore because the entire engine of it or mechanical was freezing over. I filed a claim with AHS through the automated system phone line, which is always a very easy process, and I put it in through an appliance request. Then, the system told me when to expect the contractors plus I got the emails. The vendor, Preston Repairs, contacted me pretty quickly, too. I got the text notifications when the tech was on his way, both times that he came. They ordered a part for us, then he came back out a couple weeks later and installed it. He did a great job and was very friendly every time he came.

    In general, AHS are doing well. But there have been some times where I felt like they didn't support us with regards to the service providers that they sent out and they didn’t protect us against them as well as they should have. For instance, last year, we filed a claim for our water heater saying that we had a pressure problem and we didn’t know why. They sent out a company and the tech said our pressure problem had to do with the water heater. But because we didn’t file the claim for seeing the water heater, he wasn’t even gonna look at it, wasn’t gonna touch it, and it wasn’t gonna be covered.

    He then tried to persuade us to pay $2500 out of pocket for a new water heater because he insisted that American Home Shield would not cover it. I immediately told him no and and to get out of the house. When I called American Home Shield and explained, they said that that was incorrect and that he should have taken care of it. I then said I wanted another company but they refused to send out another company. They sent out the same company and when the same guy that had already tried to take advantage of us came out, he had a little attitude.

    He proceeded to tell us that the water heater needed to be replaced, which we already knew since he told us that first, and that our home warranty coverage would not cover anything because it needed all these upgrades, which was a total lie. It needed standard code changes, but not upgrades. He wanted us again to pay out of pocket for those upgrades. We, again, told him to get out of the house, called American Home Shield and had to battle them for almost two months for them to be able to get all the proper data to finally pay us out so that we could get it replaced on our own. In the meantime, we had to take showers for two months with lukewarm water because at that point, the water heater had almost gone out and we had almost no hot water.

    So, they finally paid us out, but we didn't feel good about it because they allowed that plumbing company to try to take advantage of us twice. Then, we had to try to prove that we were correct, and I ended up having to send them a lot of information to prove those are code changes, not upgrades. All in all, I’m sure that that company and many others take advantage of a lot of people. I’m a realtor as well, so I was a little bit more informed than the average person. And a lot of my clients say that they’ve used American Home Shield in the past and they’ve run into very similar situations. This is the first time I’ve dealt with American Home Shield and I’ve had them for 15 years with various homes. And for the most part, it’s always ended up well. But based on that experience, their level of service in protecting us as clients has gone down over the years.

    The fridge had an issue with the icemaker. It was pretty much getting stuck. It was working okay but then it would clog and the ice wouldn’t be able to come out. I did a claim for it online and American Home Shield's website was good. They mentioned it wouldn’t take too long before somebody would contact me. Angel Appliances Repair contacted me within the next couple of hours. It wasn’t that long. They did a good job. I had initially called. They asked about the problem. They scoped it and then they sent somebody out onsite. The person that came out onsite, took a look, went out and got the part, came back and fixed it. They’re pretty quick. The fridge is working great now.

    I submitted a claim to AHS because the heating unit was making a lot of noise and it would do it in the middle of the night, but it wouldn’t do it much during the day. The contractors came out but they said that they could not fix it because they needed to know exactly what it was doing. And so, they told me that they would come back. And they did something. It was doing it again. And then, the second guy came and I tried to record it, but by the time I’d get out there, it wouldn’t do it. The third time, it was really making a loud noise at that time. It was the same thing, but it just got louder. This time, he heard it and it was just a couple days later and he adjusted something. I also video recorded it and they were able to pinpoint. They knew then. Now, it’s doing great.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield long enough to know how it works. And because of the degree of everything that they cover, I understand that it might not be fixed on the first round, but they will fix it. I had that experience for my washing machine and they offered to buy it for $200, and I told them I would rather have it fixed. And so, they had to order the part, and then they came back, but then the parts went bad, so then they had to order the parts again. And then he had to order a whole new circuit board and a motor. But eventually, I did get it fixed. For the air conditioner, it was awesome. I didn’t have to wait that long. I just had to pinpoint what it was because they won’t fix unless they really can pinpoint what it is.

    One time, my washer couldn't get fixed and I had gotten a replacement washer machine at a certain amount of money. Recently, P J Appliances came out and they were excellent. They saw the dryer on a Friday, but they had to order a part. They told me the part would come Monday, but it came earlier. They came on a Sunday, which was surprising, and fixed my dryer so I was able to finish my laundry for the weekend. I've been with AHS for five years, off and on. I find that submitting claims online is better. It's easier and I also get whatever I need quicker, service or not. I like the convenience of being able to get appliances fixed quickly.

    I really like AHS's site. For my AC claim, I didn't have to wait long. US Air Conditioning of Texas came and fixed it. Then one time, we had a plumbing issue. My son went over to see what was wrong with one of the faucets. But we weren't supposed to do that. The contractor came back and didn't want to fix it because it had been removed. We did them a favor, but it caused a bit of a conflict there until I got it resolved.

    We've been with AHS for long, At first, when we first got them years ago, we didn't hear very good stuff about them, but there wasn't too much available to look into to get. However, they've really done well and improved. The vendors they send are good people that do a good job. Back then, I had a washer and they had some people sent over. At first, it was one individual and then it was another person. The second person said that the first individual missed something. That has improved. Now, when they send somebody, it gets fixed and I don't have to worry.

    We called the original time because I have set the heater at 72 degrees when all of a sudden, inside the house, it kept going up and up. It went all the way to 87 degrees. You would turn the switch off for the fan and it just kept rising and would never turn off. The first guy came out Thursday and he couldn't find anything. They thought that it was staying on and making the fan stay on so it would never turn off. On the controller on the wall, he thought some of the wires were exposed. So, he stripped the wires and did that and he couldn't find anything wrong. It started going up again yesterday so this time I turned it off when it got to 80 degrees. But my wife said, "You better turn the heater back on," because on Wednesday, she had to get up at 3:00 to go to work. So, I turned it on when I went to bed.

    The second guy came out today at 7:00 in the morning. He could see that it was 80 degrees in the house, and I had it set at 72. He kept going back and forth outside in the house and he took the thing in the garage, with the panel off and was messing with some stuff. He found out it was two breaker things telling the fan and the heater to stay on. He replaced them and since then, hopefully the heater is working fine because he reset everything, unless it takes two or three days before it starts acting up again. He was courteous and professional. He did most of the work in the garage. He came out a couple times, but other than that, that was really fast and great. I'm glad he found the problem because heat from heaters makes me sick.

    A few months back, I had a refrigerator repair and it was a nightmare. I told the lady that I was not paying for a service fee and it was not my problem that they were sending these people out who couldn't come out for weeks at a time. My old refrigerator was breaking and they kept sending somebody out to put parts in it. They sent this guy here five times to fix the refrigerator but there was no hope of fixing it and it was wasting their money and time. I wish that they would've taken into consideration after the first time or second time that there was something majorly wrong. So, they spent way more amount of money than it was to buy me a new refrigerator.

    Finally, after all that, they sent me a new refrigerator. But that was after they spent about $1,500 in service. It was an inconvenience as well. The company they used could only come out here one day a week between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00, and we worked. So, AHS needs to screen the people that are signing up for them a little better, as far as what hours they can work for them.

    Recently, my hot water tank was going and at first, AHS sent out somebody from Nussbaumer Plumbing. My appointment time was between 8:00 and 1:00, but he was in my house at 3:30. He said they were really busy and I understood that, but he could've called on the phone and told me about it. Also, if he was here and I wasn’t, 15 minutes later, he was gonna leave my house. It’s just called respect. Then, as soon as he walked down my steps and before he looked at anything, he told me I owed $800. He also said that I was not up to code, but I told him that three years ago, I had to get up to code and I paid $450 for that. So, I knew I was up to code. Then he went over my sink and told me my water pressure was too high. So, he called the home warranty company and told them everything was too high.

    That company was very shady and I'm gonna file a complaint with American Home Shield because they're not even licensed plumbers for Allegheny County. Plus, the guy who came out had a 15-year drug prison sentence for felony drug charges and I kinda have an issue with a felon being in my house. Despite that, RDN came out that Monday and assessed my situation perfectly. My water pressure was 73, I was up to code on everything, and needed a new hot water tank. A couple days later, they installed it and everything was perfect. Other than that, it was hard to understand some of the people from American Home Shield because a lot of them are foreign and dealing with their customer service was iffy sometimes, but it’s gotten better now. All in all, I love American Home Shield and they are one of the better warranty companies out there by far.

    The home warranty service seemed adequate. I used them once to replace a kitchen faucet that stopped working. However, after two years of paying their monthly fee I moved and called AHS to cancel my warranty subscription. At that point they started reminding me of Comcast. They kept me on the phone for 40 minutes trying to convince me not to cancel and transferring me back and forth to various people, eventually sending me back to the initial phone tree. Apparently nobody had the ability to cancel my account. The third person I talked to finally told me I had a contract with them which I couldn't get out of without an early termination fee. I paid the early termination fee, but I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

    We’ve had an incredible number of problems. It’s been wonderful to have the warranty. Submitting a claim through American Home Shield has been terrible though. The AC was out for a month in August in Texas, and it took them a month to fix it, and there were several errors on American Home Shield’s part that led to that despite calling every day for a month. The provider never once was helpful or apologetic or looking to solve things that took me calling over and over and no results. I will never in my life again use AHS or recommend them to anybody.

    I also had a termite claim. I have termite coverage under my warranty and the provider never called AHS to file their final diagnosis. I called at least three times to follow up on it and they continued to say that they haven’t received the diagnosis from the technician. They ultimately canceled the claim and refunded my $75. But that didn’t solve anything because the technician found the active termite damage in my home and I need that fixed under the warranty. And instead of it being fixed and processed, I would have to call three times. They told me I have to call again and resubmit the claim and start over after three months of following up. So, I was done with it.

    We also had a claim when we had a leaky washing machine, and there was no issue. So, it’s not all been bad, but the bad has been really terrible. For me, it’s really an issue with the process and the customer service department because I’d simply wanted to speak with somebody else. I was not satisfied with the service, and I spent three hours across two phone calls trying to get on the phone with somebody else and they refused and said they’re incapable to transfer me to anybody else. They were just playing games with me and it was really frustrating. I finally got to the top person who was incredibly rude to me.

They didn't put the lid back on and check flushing at the end. When they did, they put the lid back on and they left. I went in to flush it, but it wouldn't flush because there was too much chain in the handle. It wouldn't go all the way up. So I had to readjust the chain on the handle.

    My garage door wasn’t opening anymore even after I changed the battery. I submitted a claim with AHS and they sent out Total Garage Solutions. They gave good service and I had to buy a brand new dial pad but it was fine. They were able to fix it, but it wasn’t covered by American Home Shield so I had to pay out-of-pocket.

    Other than that, I am currently having an issue about my icemaker and that’s been a repair for the last year that hasn’t been fixed. I have a Sub-Zero and the techs have to be certified for high-end appliances. The ones that AHS sent out are certified but I went through a lot of the bureaucracy. The techs have come out several times and every time, they found me a different problem. So, I told American Home Shield about it and we’re sort of going through this cycle. From the perspective of the contractor, they just wanna keep coming out because they get a payment from American Home Shield every time and nobody would make the call. Then, I put in a complaint a few weeks ago and they said that at this point, the icemaker couldn't be fixed and they'd give me the credit for it.

    Whenever I talked with the reps of AHS, they were fine but I didn’t really get anywhere. It’s been about three weeks since I called and made that complaint where they said they'd give me credit but I haven’t heard anything. They should improve on the follow up.

    Gregory Rossi Plumbing & Heating came out after I submitted a claim to AHS for a plumbing issue. The tech looked at my issue and I was standing there as my plumbing was dripping. I said something to him and he replied saying that my plumbing was busted and that he was gonna replace it. He went out to his van, got the new part and asked me where I wanted the old one to be placed. I told him where and he put it in there. He made sure my plumbing was working then he was out the door.

    I like it when AHS gets good people. Even the guy who came out simultaneously worked on my dishwasher and my garbage disposal. I have had people come out and it was like they had to have known that this was not gonna be a fix. It would happen that 30 days after the fix, the thing I had repaired would break again. Then, I would have to pay $75 because the problem is the same thing and it's not fixed. I've had Home Shield since close to the '80s and I've seen them throughout the years. I was actually thinking of switching because they were having really horrible guys come out to fix stuff. Still, the last two guys that have been here have been very good.

    My hot water tank had leaking pipes so I filed a claim with AHS online. The website was fairly easy to use, and I was contacted within 24 hours. They then set an appointment. Someone from Bird Dog Plumbing came and he was top-notch, very professional and very courteous. I was very surprised and happy. There was a broken plumbing in the slab of my house and we initially thought we were going to have to tear up concrete to get to it. But they found a way to circumvent that and go up through my attic and repair the hot water line.

    American Home Shield has been very good to me over the years, and I like them very much. My only complaint is that I cannot contact anyone by telephone there. It’s very difficult. If you need to discuss an issue with Home Shield you get sent to one phone robot circus to where you push one for this or two for that and it never addresses the very simple question that you may have. You can’t get to a live operator to discuss with them a simple question that could be answered yes or no. But other than that their service has been wonderful.

    The door of our Miele oven was not closing all the way through and Express Appliance Service was sent out. But the first time they came, the technician told me that I did not have to replace the hinges even though I had already gotten the hinges delivered to my house. He said only an adjustment was needed. He made an adjustment on the hinges and the oven worked for a few days then I had to call them again. So they came today and actually replaced the hinges that I have available here for them. It looks like it’s working okay right now.

    It was just that they didn’t address it at the beginning. But my experience with them was fine. The technician was on time and polite. I like the coverage with American Home Shield because it is very reliable. When I place the call, I have a response almost immediately.

    With American Home Shield, everybody's good as I would need. Within a day or two, a contractor usually gets out here. So far, they've done fine. On my most recent plumbing claim, they sent out Matt's. The person that they sent out was a really personable person. I would hire him if I was looking for help. He did a really good job. I'm a builder, so I know what is good and what isn't good. A guy that's personable does a good job, clean, neat, and does everything exactly the way it should be done.

    We had a little bit of an issue on a pool pump where a guy came out and he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. And then on the third time he came out, I mentioned something to him, and he said, "Ohoho, that solves the problem." And it was really a simple solution, but it stumps some people. It wasn't because he wasn't trying, it was because it was a really tough thing to figure out. When I told him I see air bubbles coming out of one of the jets and it sounded to me like there was an air leak someplace, he tracked down the air leak and fixed it and it was fine.

It has worked fine ever since. He was very professional.

We got to choose which one we wanted and we chose AHS because we’ve had a positive experience in the past. They’ve done a great job. Recently, the heater was not working on the spa and there was a leak at the equipment on the side of the house. The person from Expert Pool Services called me immediately after I put in the claim, discussed what was going on, told me that he would have a technician out the next day, and asked me where the equipment was. It’s on the side, so I don’t even need to be home. I wasn’t there when the technician came and he took care of everything.

The process worked pretty well. They need to do some work on the formatting for a mobile phone. They need to get a web designer working on that. I ended up using a computer rather than the mobile phone, but other than that, the experience worked well. They kept me informed of what was going to happen and it happened.

    It was kinda funny that the name of the company that came out was ASAP, and it took three days to book an appointment. I was going like, "Boy, I'm sure glad this isn't a real serious plumbing issue." But aside from that, they did a fine job. I have no complaints about their work. So far, my experience has been good.

    We had an outlet that was dead and when AHS sent out a tech from R & R Electrical Allstar, he said that it had something to do with the circuit breakers that had tripped and caused the outage. He was able to fix that right away. We live in a manufactured-home community and we have a provider for our electric, Orlando Utilities, but it’s through kind of a group account. So, every once in a while, we’d have power outages and I was thinking that the surge from the power outage coming back on might have been what tripped the some little switches that had to do with the breakers that had switched off.

    We had another vendor out, Beaches Air Conditioning and Heating, for the air conditioning and heating during the wintertime. It was November, my husband was in the hospital, and they were going to discharge him from the hospital. But the heat stopped working and we were having a cold snap. We’re in Florida, but it gets chilly sometimes. So, I wanted that heat fixed before my husband got home because he was on oxygen and had been very ill. The techs fixed the heat in time for me to go pick up my husband and bring him home from the hospital. So, that was appreciated.

    But they said that eventually, for the air conditioner repair, I was going to need Freon as they put the heat on straight electric rather than do something that wasn’t approved through AHS and add the Freon. So eventually, we’ll have to have that Freon ordered. We’ve got a Florida summer coming up, so we’ll probably do it soon. But we’ll do that on our own because American Home Shield doesn’t really cover the addition of the Freon. We’ll probably call the same company because the technician was good and pretty much knew what he was doing. And he installed a new thermostat which had gone bad and caused the problem. He got it fixed and I was very pleased about that.

    All in all, I had two times when things have broken down and AHS got them fixed. All I ended up paying was my service call fee and with them, I don't really submit claims. It was different with my former company where you would call and have someone come out, then submit a claim. Compared to that, you just get with American Home Shield and they assign someone to come out. Then the vendors tell American Home Shield what they had done and they submit the claim. I kinda like it this way.

    When we bought the house almost exactly seven years ago, we had American Home Shield the first year and were not happy with them because of things that they didn't cover that we felt should have been. We had a stove that had three glasses in the door. The middle glass just shattered while the stove was cold and wasn't being used. When we called AHS to have them come out and service it, they said that they don't cover the oven door and that they only cover the elements. That was a $161 glass window. We also had a pressure release valve on the house that was leaking. We wanted that replaced, but they said that because it was on the outside of the house, they didn't cover it. Those two things left a bad taste in our mouth back and we decided not to continue with them.

    Now, we're at a point where our house is 13 years old. We thought that we needed to put a home warranty on our water heater and HVAC systems. I'm a Realtor and the company I work for recommends a competitor. However, I did my due diligence looking at home warranties and reviews. It appeared that AHS had improved its service and I decided to go with them.

    When our air conditioning stopped working, I was concerned that with it being 13 years old, we had to have a new condenser. We’re very good about maintaining our equipment and we've had it serviced and cleaned. But I thought, "13 years in Florida, it runs a lot.” We went with the warranty and paid the $100 deductible. Two guys from Airboss came right on time. They said that the issue was the capacitor. They went out to their truck, got a new capacitor, and put it in. I don't believe they were here for 10 minutes before everything was up and running. The only regret I had was that I paid the $100 deductible. I thought that if I knew it was only a capacitor I could've had a service call for half that amount. Aside from that, we're very happy with AHS so far.

    Air Pro Master fixed the dishwasher that was leaking under the sink. It wasn’t a horrible experience. It’s just they sent me the wrong person the first time. They sent a dishwasher guy. The customer service rep didn’t understand when I said, “My dishwasher isn’t working right. It’s leaking under the sink.” That should’ve given them a clue that it’s a plumber, not a dishwasher problem. I ended up having two appointments instead of just one. I’d probably ask more questions on their end because I don’t know who they need to send.

    I’ve heard some pros and cons about the American Home Shield policy but I’m kinda on the fence about it right now. It costs a lot every year to have it but I haven’t really had to use it. I thought it was supposed to be 45. Apparently, it’s 75 for someone to come out. And then I understand that you end up having to pay for parts or if they don’t have them, they have to go purchase them. I’ve had the policy for two years but I’m not sure I’m gonna keep it.

    AHS is accessible and seems like a good value. They have a good group of people in the various trades to solve issues. We've been with them for about five years and although contractors have been a little hit or miss, overall, they’ve done a good job. However, the process by which we have to follow up is tricky. You’re in an IVR and it’s difficult to get through. And you can’t really talk to the contractor about things. One of them who was there said that they couldn't do anything until they have directions from AHS. He had to leave and I had to come back and meet him another time, which was a little bit inconvenient. When I was out of town, my wife called for a heating claim. It went well. The guy came in on a Saturday, got a part ordered, and then we had heat by Monday or Tuesday.

    My refrigerator had leaked and the freezer had frozen shut with ice on it. I called the AHS number and I ended up paying the $75 service charge. Then Cooper Appliances contacted me pretty quickly. The problem may have been due to a generator installation but it was like shaved iced all in the freezer and I had to let it all thaw out. When the repair person came, he checked it out and didn’t see any problem. But he left his contact information in case anything came out and they would come back and look at it again. I don’t know why the water leaked down. But I haven’t seen anything since either and it seems to be working fine now.

    We had a dishwasher that went out on December 26th. My wife went into the hospital for a serious operation on January 2nd. And in the meantime, I had contacted American Home Shield. They sent a guy out and he said the board was fried. The night that it happened, I was standing there, and white smoke started coming out of the dishwasher. When the guy got here, I asked what would have happened had I not been here. He said I would've had a fire. But these places are probably 34 to 40 years old and about now, all the appliances that were original equipment are now starting to die a natural death. The guy said he had to order a part and we'd probably have it in here in three days. 17 days later, the part arrived, and AHS asked us not to open it. I don’t have the expertise to put an electronic board in a dishwasher and I’m sure not gonna destroy it. But be that as it may, I left the item in the box.

    The guy came. He was here maybe for half an hour, put the new board in the dishwasher, and away he went. It worked for 11 days. And again, I heard a noise, and the dishwasher stopped and there was no way to turn it back on. There was no way to do anything with it. On the prior time that we were waiting, the dishwasher and the microwave are connected on the same circuit. So, if you turned on the dishwasher and opened it up and tried to do anything, you got water all through the kitchen. It went crazy because it didn't respond to any button pushing at all. It was doing its own thing. During that whole time, I wasn’t able to wash dishes. I wasn’t able to get anything done, so I had to wash everything myself. And then when my wife got home from the hospital, I couldn't sanitize anything that she was using and it needed to be sanitized. But my hands feel good now.

    Another guy came out and he also said that that board was fried. I had been smelling something like plastic melting and it was a very distinct odor but didn't think anything of it. I thought maybe the new board was settling in to its new home, but that was not the case. So, when it made a noise and it quit, I called back to American Home Shield, and there was another four-day delay because they don’t do everything at that moment. They have to contact a contractor. We have to then get on the contractor’s schedule. Then maybe three days later, the guy comes out. And normally, the first time, it’s just to diagnose the problem. So, he goes away, another three to five days, maybe 11 days happen before he gets back or someone else comes in. It’s not always the same guy that comes in. It could be somebody else.

    The new part came in and we called the Express Appliance Repair in New Jersey. They said a new guy would come back out, and it was Aki again and he said, “It’s the wrong part.” So, he spent an abnormal amount of time kneeling on our kitchen floor and using his phone to try to find a new board. And he said, “I can’t find it with our distributors.” So, he said, “I’ll put it back in to the home office. They, in turn, will go back to AHS and they’ll put it on a nationwide search.” That was a Monday.

    And then following Sunday, I figured I had enough, so I called back to AHS. Luckily, once upon a time, we had a problem with a clothes washer and I had kept the number and the extension 3, and I got into them. That was Sunday. It was open. The rep said, “Yes. We have put it on a nationwide search, but we can’t locate it. It’s no longer available.” So, they said, “We’re gonna have to give you a new dishwasher.” I said, “I don’t want a new dishwasher. I want you to fix the old one.” She said, “No. We can’t do that. I’m gonna send you an email. You select what you wanna do. There's two options. You select us to get it, to install it. Number 2, you take the buyout. You buy the dishwasher, you have it installed.” I said, “No. I want you to do it ‘cause I know what happens.”

    So, they said RAS Trucking out of Leetsdale would be in to service. They will deliver, they will install, and they will haul away. So, lo and behold, it was Monday, they said they would be here between 8:00 and 12:00. At 20 to 8:00, they were sitting in our driveway, so they were right on the ball. The guys brought this new and very nice-looking dishwasher in. They said, “Is this Allegheny County?” We said, “No.” He said, “Then we can’t install it.” It must be some quirky contract. AHS contracted with Veterans Plumbing. And they gave me the number for Veterans Plumbing, but it was Joe Blow Plumbing who said, “I’m willing to do it but I don’t have an affiliation with AHS.”

    I waited and I called AHS and told them what the deal was, and the girl said, “Let me assign a plumber rather than a trucking company that normally does this. We’ve had that done before.” They work for all the big box stores. The guys got here. They said they couldn’t install it because they didn’t have the authority in Allegheny County just due to contractual agreements that AHS has with a union. Right now, we’re waiting for Ace Plumbing to come in. They're supposed to be here tomorrow.

    Between all this, my wife went to open the door under the sink to get a little Swiffer that you can put on a little prong thing and do dusting, and the box was stuck to the bottom of the cabinet underneath the sink. Then she noticed there was water there. This was a Saturday night. I cleaned it all up, put paper towels underneath, and we were running the disposal at the time. And right away, there was a perfect circle underneath the disposal. The disposal was leaking. I called AHS. They said, “What's the problem?” I told them. I went into the website and I reported the problem, then I had a callback from the plumbing company the following Monday morning. This was really great. It was RDS Plumbing and the guy who came was Brian.

    I had taken pictures with my phone of the disposal leaking. It was dripping from the bottom. Luckily, the guy next door who recently moved in and did a lot of refurbishing and redoing, his brother-in-law’s a contractor, and they were just over there for dinner. So, I imposed upon them and I asked them. I said, “If water is dripping out of your disposal, what kind of problem?” And he said, “Don’t use it. There’s a feed line for electricity that goes in. If that goes, you’re gonna electrocute yourself.” But I later found out that that line has a fail-safe on it where if water hits it, it automatically goes off.

    The other thing about AHS that really ticks me off is when you call in to report a problem, you get offshore people. I wear hearing aids. I cannot understand these people. I get so irritated. I’m screaming at them, and I said, “I wanna talk to somebody that speaks English!” “I can help you with that.” I said, “The hell you can! You don’t even talk anything I can understand. It’s not even English.” Other than that, AHS has been very good for me for items in this home. We bought it five years ago, and there were a lot of crap that’s gone bad. They have sent out people and they replaced my hot water tank and they filled the unit outside with the refrigerant, so they have done very well. But it would be really great if they had people that spoke English across the board.

He did not care. He was a robot. He just want to brush me off and get rid of my call. I understand there are steps to follow but I just called to let him know the urgency of the situation. I ended up calling RWS warranty which was the policy that came with our inspection report. They came through for me fast and got the wiring fixed. DO NOT USE American Home Shield.

    We have a refrigerator-freezer. We had water leaking from the freezer area onto the top shelf of the refrigerator. The guy from Long Lane who came out was fantastic. He didn’t know if they’d be able to fix it because it was an older refrigerator. A seal was bad, and he didn’t think he could get it but they did find it. He came back and put it in. When they called back, they said that someone in American Home Shield found the parts, which was fine with us because the refrigerator’s in an area where it wouldn’t be easy to get it out and get a new one in. So, we were kinda happy they could fix it.

    The claims process with AHS is very easy. I could file the claim online. The company that was sending the technician out got back to me. We scheduled the appointment, they were very efficient, gave me a window of time, but the technician called prior to coming out to let me know how far away he was. So, it worked very well. I had to deal with somebody once when I had find out what the status was of the repair. That was fine. They were able to answer my question right away and let me know what was going on. And it was just a few more days before I got the call from the actual company that they said had the parts. Everything was good. I felt like I was kept in the loop.

    My GE washer was running an excessive amount of water and not washing appropriately. I called American Home Shield to submit the claim and the rep that I spoke with was quite nice. The tech who came out was not overly talkative, which I didn't expect, but cordial and professional, so I was pleased. The repair was taken care of within several days upon my calling to make the initial request. Thus far, things seem to be working well. Unfortunately, I'm having to call up the services twice within a month. I have one claim now for the GE dryer.

    This is the first time I've ever used the warranty, but right now it seems to be going okay. So I'm very pleased. But upon calling American Home Shield, I was thinking that I would probably be able to get someone out within two or three days. I would've gotten service a little quicker than about five days, but I just accepted that. But if I had a plumbing problem of some kind, to have to wait five or six days would be a little difficult for me.

    I had an appliance issue and AHS sent out Antech Appliances to help me out. But it turned out that it’s just not plugged in. But the techs were very responsive and they came right away. Everything went very well with my claim. I have AHS for two and a half years now and so far, things have been fine. But it's very hard to get a phone call and I'd be on line for 45 minutes. That’s not right. One time, I had a service request for the icemaker in the refrigerator that wasn't working and after the techs came out, it still wasn’t working. So, I had to call back AHS because that was what the contractor told me I should do. And I was on the phone so long which was very annoying. Compared to that, it’s very easy to schedule a service on the internet and they’re very responsive. And whatever I need, I get a phone call right away. So, that’s all good, but trying to get a hold of them on the phone is not so good.

    Aside from that, when I was going to renew my warranty and I called up, their rep told me that they'd give me a discount after I said that I've been with them for a while. Then, I told her that I’d charge it to the credit card, so I took care of all of that. In the meantime, I keep on getting bills from them saying that the service will be be discontinued and that I haven’t paid my bill. Maybe the people through the billing didn’t get the changes I made with the rep that I talked to, so they thought I underpaid because their bill showed a different amount than with the discount. And it happened again. I called up and asked them to take care of it. But that was upsetting and I don’t know exactly how to handle that in the future.

    American Home Shield sent out a tech from Appliance Connection to take care of the washing machine claim. He explained to me exactly what was wrong with it. It was one of the pipe, one of the hoses that came off apart from it, but he showed me what to do to prevent it from happening again. He taught me a lot especially with loading this new washing machine because I'm used to the older washing machine and with these new ones now, you have to load them a certain way. He walked me through it. What happened was the washing machine was leaking water. And so, it was the hose that came apart from it, and he had told me that if I don't load these washers correctly, they'll get off-balanced. Some of the older washing machines, they don't get off-balanced and not gonna rock. It make a lot of noise. But these new ones, you can't, but he taught me a lot.

    If you call and tell AHS you got a problem, they will quickly address the situation. The first time I called, it was about my heater, with the furnace. And true enough, they came out. It was Myers that came out. They told me exactly what was going on and taught me how to prevent it from happening. They had to come back out because the issue was the sensors. They told me that it was dirt on the sensors. But when the tech came back out, he told me that something needed to be changed and it was something going on with the furnace.

    There was a code that came on in our heating system and that's the reason I called Home Shield. The tech went out and reset it. He was friendly and seemed to wanna take care of whatever problems we had, but he didn't wanna go in-depth with anything and he just looked at the unit to see if it was still running. He didn't go through any of the codes that came on it. I asked him about the codes and if it was gonna do it again. He said that it should be all right. I told him I didn't wanna call somebody up and pay another 75 bucks to come out. Also, the foam that they put on our line on the outside was all missing. I asked him about that and he said it was not a big issue so I didn't have to worry about it. So I'm guessing he didn't wanna do anything about it.

    The claim went all right though. But when we put in two or three different items, Home Shield makes us pay $75 for each item. I and my wife feel that it's wrong.

    I like submitting my claims online as it's easy and quick. After I submit the request, I get automatically generated confirmation email, and then I get another email about which contractor has been assigned. That AHS response is quick. From there, their contractor contacts me to schedule the appointment. Depending on the contractor, some of them call right away the next day while others take about 3 days.

    While it's not a huge problem, I oftentimes put my tenant's phone number in the request because they always call me to schedule the appointment and make another extra step where I give them the phone number to call the tenant and then they call them. It's more time for me and then for them too, but I don't think everyone reads the notes that I put in in the request saying that, "Please call this phone number because it's my tenant." Sometimes they do but sometimes it comes to me and then it's an extra step. I don't know what kind of notice the contractors are getting but it would be easier if it's more obvious whom they need to call to make the appointment.

    There was air getting sucked into either the valves or the blower motor and therefore, it was causing air to be blown in the pool. It’s just sucking air. I’ve always had American Home Shield for over a decade or longer, and I would usually make my claims by calling the number and then talking to somebody. But over the years, it has gotten so difficult to get through to a person. You wait for 15 minutes until you get to talk to somebody that I started using online in making a claim, and it has worked out fine. It goes fast and within a short period of time, you have a response back. You have your vendor assigned and you get on with life. The site says after you make the claim, you can expect the contractors out within the next 24 hours but it’s usually shorter than that.

    Most of the time, the contractors seemed to diagnose the problem and fix it. A few other times, I’m concerned that they’re the lower-level contractors that American Home Shield uses because they’re probably cheaper. I’ve had claims on my pool before and they used to send Third Generation out of Tampa. It was the first time that ABNation came out. They were responsive. I put the claim in on a weekend and they called first thing Monday morning and the technician said that he would be out within the next two hours. The technician came here and I explained the problem to him, and he went about doing his business. He was very thorough and checked things out. The next day, I had the pool people who told me I had the problem here and they said that it looked like it has been fixed.

    My only issue over time with American Home Shield is they keep raising their rates from year to year in terms of the premium. So, it’s starting to get in the neighborhood of very expensive versus other companies. When I started with American Home Shield, I paid $30 for the visit. Now, it’s up to $75 each time and they’re more expensive than anybody else. Also, I live in the Sarasota area and they end up having people from Fort Myers, which is an hour and a half away from Tampa. They seemed to use vendors in a far-out area versus local people in the Sarasota area.

    Intercity Plumbing came because our garbage disposal went out and our line backed up. The claim went fine and I liked the contractor. They were dependable and professional in and out. Sometimes, however, I’d like to select a vendor because I have had a lot of people that I have not liked and I've always let them know. But, I know, too, that that does not work well in insurance situation. Also, there are some limitations within the policy where you cannot pay more to get more coverage.

    We had United Air Temp come out to do the maintenance service before we used our heater. However, a day or two after they left, it smelt like something was burning. We called them back and the blower motor was the issue. The tech came back and replaced it. Then later, it was making a really loud noise. They came back again and there was an issue with the part they used. They said that the part was not an original manufacture thing and they had to order the original one. When they finally came back out, they installed the new part. It took over a week to get the original part in and we were without a heater. Thank God, it wasn’t cold.

    Most of the claims, I submit on the website because calling in takes a little longer or you don’t get through right away. The website works out well. It's easier to use it to schedule stuff. You also get a reply right away and it tells you who they assigned the claim to. I've had AHS for a few years and I like it. We're happy with the service and the experience has been top-rated.

    We have a water heater that's been going bad but it just keeps getting fixed. Every two months, we lose hot water. By this time, we probably need to get a new one but AHS won't pay for it and they just keep paying for the repair. But then we have to fork out $75 for the techs to come out. That's the only drawback though. Other than that, AHS has been really easy to work with. Their service is fairly good and their coverage seems to be okay. Their response time is quick too. Plus, the techs are all fairly professional. They seem to be very concerned with getting a high rating, so they wanna get good feedback. So when they come in, they do a pretty good job.

    The problem I have with Home Shield is that I pay for the $75 and they arrange someone to come out, then the people may not call. Like the guy at the key place, he never called until I reached out. He finally called and I was in Richmond. I told him that I couldn't do it now. When I came back later and told him that we'd do it, he no longer did it for Home Shield. I reached out to Home Shield and they said they don't have anybody in our area. But within 24 hours, they got me ABC Lock. The guy came out and he was really nice. He rekeyed my doors. Then I got a letter the other day stating that the rekey wasn't covered by Home Shield. But it's showing under my contract where it says that they are to rekey. I sent them a letter and I'm not sure if they got it yet.

    Right now, my washer and dryer have a problem. It works but it makes this really loud noise. The contractor came out promptly and they told me what it was. They gotta order a part and I said okay. However, they called me back and they didn't show up. Then they called me back and made another appointment, and didn't show up. They called me about a day or so later in about 6:30. The guy asked if he could come out that time and I said no as I was not at home. I also told him that he was supposed to be out the day before that. I knew they had some problems because one of their workers got hurt, in which I told him that it should not be a problem with me as my machine is still working but I appreciate someone calling me and letting me know, where I'm not sitting and waiting all day for someone to show up.

    I still haven't heard from them, but they got my part. We're closing on our other house so I haven't called them back to do it. I already paid Home Shield their $75 so it's just getting the other guy to come out. Overall, AHS gets me someone here or they do call, but there's no follow-through. I've heard of people getting better coverage with different organizations so whenever my contract is over, I will probably change.

    The toilets had a loud whistling sound and the contractor said the air was getting through it. The plastic ring around a pole was positioned wrong and all he did was push it down. He put it in the right position so it wouldn’t overflow. The one upstairs stopped the loud whistling and I was gonna call one day this week to let them know that the one downstairs is still making a whistling sound. I thought of pushing the thing like he did but it doesn’t turn anymore. I can’t get down on my knees and I need somebody to get down there with a screwdriver to do something if it needs to be opened some more. Other than that, the guy was good, nice and quick.

The contractors are professional, but you can tell that they’ve contracted out the lowest of the bidding. I've had problems still with everything that I paid for to have work done. I had to have my dad come back and fix the toilet that was supposedly fixed. With the stove, it’s like I'm just paying each time for the contractor to come out and fix one part each time. I'm a little frustrated with that because it’s still not working correctly. They had to come out twice to fix two different parts.

    One night, we turned the dishwasher on, and it literally blew the air gap cap off, and there was water like three feet in the air just spraying everywhere. Submitting a claim to AHS was pretty easy. The only issue we had was we originally scheduled an appointment for 2 Sons Plumbing to come out, but then they had to reschedule with us, and it took a week longer, which was upsetting ‘cause we couldn’t really run our dishwasher.

    A couple of weeks ago, our pool pump started leaking. Roccas Pool Service was excellent. They called the next day and then the guy was out the following day. He came out very quickly. My husband said he was amazing and knowledgeable too. He was the best. He fixed the leak, and it is not leaking anymore. American Home Shield has been amazing on our heater and pool pump claim. But, they didn’t fix the leaking dishwasher. The front door was curved in and we ran it two times and it didn’t leak, but it started leaking on the third time. They would not fix it because we should have seen the door was curved. So, I’m still on the fence with them.

    My heater had quit working due to the TPC Explosion that happened in Port Neches, Texas. We were affected by that in more ways than we knew. We're starting to find out how bad now. Apparently, the first gentleman that came out thought it was just a few wires loose, and so, he tried to just reconnect them, and when the house resettled, the connections broke within 30 minutes after he left. It was terrible. They came out the next day and he changed out the connection completely, and since then, I haven’t had any problems. He also gave me a few tips as well about the air filters. If you can't see light through them, even if you just changed them just a few weeks before, go ahead and change them because it makes it work harder. Considering we have two very big dogs that shed and a cat that shed relentlessly, I went ahead and changed the filters like he had said. Now, I'm changing them every two weeks.

    I never have any problem with American Home Shield with scheduling anything that needs to be done. If I'd tell them something is wrong, they're either out here that same day or within a few days after. I just wish that once you scheduled something, you can track where your claim is. My AHS policy started with my step-dad, and when he passed away nine months ago, I just kept everything the way he had it. I knew he chose them for a reason. Before he passed away, they have come out and fixed the refrigerator, did work on my garbage disposal, and another time, they replaced it. So, I would highly recommend them. You will not lose out going with American Home Shield. You pay $75 for processing, and it's $65 a month. That’s really costly efficient, but with that $75, if something gets broken, they replace that item, and the item is worth way more than $75. American Home Shield goes above and beyond.

    I didn't particularly like the guy that came and worked on the air conditioner. The unit is practically brand new. The guy that used to come to us to service around the house was always very pleasant and explained things really well. This guy was just wanting to get in and out of there. He was quick to wanna say that it had water damage. He said, "So, this is how much it's gonna cost you. Do it to have a new one put in." He was trying to sell me something that I didn't need. I told him that it was brand new and that I'm not fixing it to put a new unit in here. He was trying to look for something that was wrong instead of just fixing the little problem or whatever it was that was wrong. In fact, a hose there was busted and he didn't even replace it. He took tape and wrapped around the hose to fix it.

    If something goes wrong, sometimes it takes American Home Shield a few days or so before they get to it. But generally, the people that come out are very understanding and explain things really well. They're out to take care of their customer. But the guy that came out last time was more interested in trying to sell me something. I have always been satisfied with American Home Shield. I wasn't expecting the price increase that went up so much, but other than that and the guy that came out last time, I've been very satisfied.

He said that the insurance wouldn't cover it because the problem was that it was dirty. But after he cleaned it up, the problem was still there. It seems that he lied. Now, because I’m so busy, I have no time to call AHS back so the furnace still doesn’t work.
