The house drain to the sewer system was backing up. I submitted the claim online and I got a follow-up phone call shortly thereafter from Home Shield saying they're searching for businesses who's available. Then when they got a hold of that business, that business called asking if I was available that afternoon and I said I was. Forty-five minutes later, they called again saying they have a team that was finishing up early somewhere else and they can come sooner. They were very timely in their response. While they were there, I asked them to take a look at a leaky copper water pipe from the mainline to the rest of the house. They said it was an easy fix and it wasn't a big deal. They repaired it and I was ecstatic that they were able to take care of both problems. They were both in the same room too, which helped.
I have used Home Shield four times total since I've purchased it. I like the idea of having the warranty as a backup more than a primary. I don't mind going through the process of trying to fix things myself but I'm not so egotistical about it that I can stop and call them. For instance, I was able to fix most of the water pipe issue but there became a point where I just couldn't do it anymore. That's when I called them and it was the same thing with the drain. Also, I was in the military and being gone periodically, it was a great security blanket for my wife to be able to deal with things.

We’ve had a few houses with AHS for three years, and they usually are pretty good about fixing stuff. Everything with the claims submission is easy. The only thing that they have a problem with, and I’ve tried to get it resolved but now it’s seven months in, is there’s a charge on our account that says I have a past due balance but I still have monthly pulled every month via my credit card. So I’ve asked them eight times, “How come I have a past due balance if you guys bill me every month? And it’s on auto draft.”
They always say they’re gonna fix it, but six months later and it’s still on there. So I’ve given up cussing and swearing and asking for managers because they just all say, “Oh, it’s gonna get fixed this time,” and it never gets fixed. Other than that, the contractors have been phenomenal. We only had to use AHS one time in Oklahoma. We’ve used it multiple times here and all the guys they send out are real nice.

The contractor, W&W, asked me what was wrong and they told me to disregard the scheduling Home Shield put on there, and they said that they would contact me when they were ready to come out. Once they had an opening in their schedule a few days later, they texted me. They came over to check on the stove for a gas leak, but it appeared that the previous guy that was out from a different company had already fixed it even though he didn’t know he fixed it. So he ended up disassembling the bottom of it and putting them back together. When W&W came over, the guy confirmed that there wasn’t any leak on it.
Overall, I feel good about Home Shield. The only thing I'm still concerned about is that I had a duplicate, so I had two warranties on the same house. But I still haven't received the check for the one that I canceled. They said they were gonna do it back when I called in December. But there were a few issues that whoever was handling it didn’t communicate to me. I had to call about four times in total for this, and the last one was two weeks ago, they said that they were gonna resend the check. It turned out that they were sending the check to the previous address and not to the home address that is actually on the warranty. The rep said she was gonna get back to me once they send the check out, but I still haven't received the call about it either. It’s taking almost three months to get that check.
We are working on getting the duplicate contract check refunded. We are showing it in process.Thanks for letting us know how everything is going so far. Taking care of our customers is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with your experience up to this point. We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Take Care.

We had a plumbing issue and M&Holmes HVAC came out. They were a fantastic and awesome group of people. They fixed the guest room's toilet. But then the master bedroom toilet kept doing that phantom flush and they had to come out two additional times. They were so apologetic and they did it in the evening when they knew I was home even though that was typically outside of their time frame. Everybody at AHS is incredibly polite and really great, especially if you get them on the phone and tell them what the situation is, literally, sometimes within an hour and here's the text. "This is the person that's gonna be coming out. They're gonna be calling soon to schedule the appointment." So far, I have not had any complications with them and have been very pleased.

My gas stove is at least 10 years old and it was here when we purchased the condo. When I turned it on, it wasn’t igniting. I would not use it, so I had someone come out. The two gentlemen who came readjusted and cleaned it up. They were wonderful, kind and helpful. I was very pleased with them. Also, when we first moved in here, we had a carbon monoxide problem but didn’t know what it was. After the fireman got done, the contractor was out immediately. We've had AHS for a little over two years and have been very satisfied. The reps are really very nice.

We submitted a claim to AHS online and the next day, someone from Sears came out to fix our dishwasher. He did good job and talked my wife through everything he was doing. He offered to do a couple of extra things for us that we'd have to pay extra for but we weren't interested. I also had to fix what he did. He fixed our dishwasher but then he also repaired our drain line and something was not right. He just tied it and we couldn't get it to extend. I tried to fix it but then he took care of that as well. He ended up tying it to our little sprinkler hose. Now, our dishwasher is working.

Usually, I submit my claims online to AHS as I'm not much of a talker. I do everything there and their contractor shows up and fixes my issue. Then, I'm good to go. However, their scheduling system is a little weird. AHS's contractors just give me a day when they'll arrive and say that they'll be here from 11 to 3. That's a really big window and I have to be on standby during that time.

We had American Home Shield in our old home for a little while but we ended up canceling it because we weren't getting any use out of it. Everything that would go wrong that we needed American Home Shield for, they would find some way to say it wasn’t covered. Then we decided to do a second try for this home and so far, everything has been great. Everything went smoothly with our appliance claim. The guy from Appliance Connect was very professional, on time and he explained everything very well. I would highly recommend them.

We had American Home Shield in our other house for many years. We moved and the house came with another company, and then we switched over again to AHS. We've been with them for eight years but I’m not quite sure what location it goes to for help. It’s hard understanding the people. They're all very kind but when you're talking to somebody who isn’t extremely fluent in the American language or the accent's hard to understand, it makes you kinda think of it being outsourced to someplace else rather than the United States.
My experience with AHS has not been very good today because the technician was here Thursday and he said he would get back to us. He couldn’t fix the fan. I have called and after being put on hold for a bit, the rep said that I would have to call back tomorrow evening to find out how that was gonna be taken care of. But we had a washer and it had been fixed three times. It could not be replaced and I was given the money to replace it with the same likeness that I had, no questions asked. My water heater broke in this location and I was cashed out to have a new one put in. So, it’s not a gimmick. AHS is very truthful. I might have had some issues with the companies that came out but not American Home Shield.

The sump pump stopped pumping and I submitted the claim late in the evening, expecting to get a phone call the next day, but the person responded to me that evening and came out the next day. Everything was pretty seamless online. The only issue we've ever had was recently when our washer went out, but that had to deal with the part not being available and not being able to get a technician out that could work on a specific LG product. If it's something that's unique, they should ask for the right information so they could send the right person out the first time. It took about a month and a half to get our washer fixed. But that was the only time we experienced that. Everybody that came out did good work.

The refrigerator wasn’t working and we submitted the claim on the internet over the weekend. Countrywide said the earliest they could get out was Wednesday afternoon. We weren’t gonna be home Wednesday, so they scheduled it for Thursday. Then their truck broke so the technician came out Friday afternoon. We didn’t get it fixed ‘til Friday but the technician was excellent. He knew his stuff and got it fixed. The refrigerator has been working fine since. A lot of times you think something’s covered by AHS but in the details, it’s not covered which is a little frustrating at times. But we've been with them for at least five years and we like submitting claims online. That’s definitely good.

The ice machine on the fridge broke down. There's a little flap at the door that the part broke on it, so it couldn’t make ice. American Home Shield's website was really easy to use. It took me five minutes to file the claim. We got an email right away. We got called an hour after this claim went through from the company that came out. They were great. They were local. They came out based on their schedule. It was their schedule plus our schedule trying to match up. They had to order a part, so that took a little bit of time to wait, but that wasn’t a big deal. The fridge still worked but you couldn’t get ice out of the door.
We had an issue with American Home Shield. They had the wrong information about what part of the house was covered. The part of my house where that refrigerator is at is a rental property that’s in the back and I have that insurance coverage, but somehow, they had it mismarked. When the appliance company came out, they called to verify the coverage and American Home Shield said the area was not covered. It was a back and forth with me and American Home Shield for about an hour and a half to get that all worked out. But after that, it was totally fine. The guys were here for an hour to fix it after the part came in, and it works great.
I have the add-on of the granny flat or an extra living quarters on my property that’s included. I pay the upgrade for it, but when you look at the policy in my account, it doesn’t specifically say that on the add-ons, so that was an issue. It was kind of weird that it wasn’t included on there. So it’d be nice if that is lined out like a lined item that says that’s there. The original email I got from them that included the policy didn’t include that part, and that was where the mess up was. They were supposed to send me another copy or upload another copy of it to my account. I haven’t gotten to look lately, so it might be actually in there. But the customer service guy that helped me out was really good on the phone. He really went out of his way to be sure we could fix whatever was going on. He checked with who he needed to check with to be sure. By the time we got off the phone, it was taken care of.

We had an electrical issue and the guy who came out was very professional and clean. He was very knowledgeable too. The issue was repaired and it only took him less than 30 minutes. If we needed repairs within the house, we can give AHS a phone call and they're on it. They’ll send someone out. I don’t have to look or try to find anyone. Plus, you don’t want anyone coming into your house that’s not certified and that’s protected. But there was an instance when there was a faucet that they had to order, they were a little slow in getting the parts back.

Overall, the contractors have been very good. I like that they have been out very quickly. When I called American Home Shield to try to change contractors because there was a slight issue with one of them that wasn’t getting the issue identified properly, they were able to immediately get me someone else who was very responsive. I had positive results with them. I had to use them multiple times in just a few-week time period for different issues, and they were able to resolve all the issues timely and very well. I’ve been with them approximately six to eight months, but before that, I did some homework online. They had relatively good reviews, and their pricing was competitive, so for what I was getting, I thought I was getting my money’s worth.

I had a plumbing issue and AHS sent out Rooter Express to fix it. Everything went well and the tech who came out was good. His name was Michael and he was really nice. He always had an answer to a question I asked or anything that I needed to know. So far, the coverage on my warranty has been good, too. But it’s kind of rough to pay 50 something dollars every month right now since I'm out of work. Also, I didn't even know it went up until a year ago because it started out with 40 something dollars and I didn't know why it went up. Then, if I need something, I have to pay that $100 and that's kind of rough, too. If somebody is out of work, AHS should lower the price.
Beside that, last year, I had AHS send out a tech for plumbing problems and I paid the $100. But they told me they couldn't fix it because I didn't have a water pressure gauge. It was an old one and I didn't have one on mine. And that was just a waste. I had to get a service to come out and do all of my plumbing because they would've done it but it would cost me a fortune. Other than that, I haven't had any issues with AHS. I could have switched companies by now because they're always calling me and sending me something. And they're still a bit cheaper but I like American Home Shield and that's why I stay with them.

I went online and submitted my request to have somebody come look at my refrigerator. It was totally dead and everything stunk to high heaven. American Home Shield got GE to come out and look at it, and the guy was really nice. He went through everything, and he had to replace the board. We went to do it but they don't make it anymore. So he said they would get me a new appliance. American Home Shield sent all the information. He sent it all in, and I got an email from American Home Shield and it said I have three options. They said I could go to Home Depot and I could pick and that they would replace the total appliance with another key appliance. But I wanted an upgraded appliance, so I told them that I didn't want the options.
I took the cash option and sent everything back. They sent me an email back and said I needed to submit this information, which I did, and now, I'm waiting for the check to show up. So it worked really great. I had no problem. The biggest hassle I had was I have two weeks with no refrigerator. Thank goodness, we have a second refrigerator in the garage.
We've had American Home Shield since we bought the house 25 years ago, and they have been fantastic. They've replaced my dishwasher, my washer, one air conditioning unit, hot water heater and now, a refrigerator. I've never had any issues with anything that I've called on to get somebody out here to do it. I like the fact that I can send in or have them all come out and check something online, and they'll give me an option, like GE was GE. They indicated that if I don't like the people that they will send, I have these three other options. I can pick one of these if I want instead, which is really nice because I have to go, look them all up and ask if these are decent people? What are their ratings and how are they dealing? But the one they sent was never a problem, but they have an option if you change your mind if you don't like them for whatever reason.

I got online and requested the service because the cartridge in the master bedroom shower wasn't mixing properly. Lubbock A-1 Plumbing called me back within a few hours after I submitted the claim and we scheduled for an appointment a week later and it was more convenient for me. The guy showed up when he was supposed to and the whole job took less than 30 minutes to get together. He repaired it and left, and that was pretty much the whole thing. It was really quick.
We're really happy with AHS. We've only had to use it two or three times in order to get something fixed, and it's always been really smooth. We've had it for about 6 years now from our previous home to this brand new one. Before I had a slab leak where one of the pipe bursts beneath the foundation and I fought that for a while. I went to my homeowner's agency and they said that there was nothing they could do about that as there was no damage to the house. I told them that I would punch a bigger hole in the middle of my living floor to replace the pipe. The repair cost me close to $8500 from beginning to end out of pocket. This was back when I was a lot younger and money was a lot tighter so that hurt bad. My father-in-law at the time always criticized me for having the policy, that it was $40 a month and I'd get into an account. I told him that I'm not taking the risk with another $10,000 repair job on a house that's why I have it.

I just joined American Home Shield 60 days ago. I added it to my home and I have two policies with them. I was looking at the residential company and did research on AHS. I chose it in terms of the items they covered. Other companies did not cover some items. I was very impressed with High Priority Plumbing. Putting in a claim was simple. There was no complication and everything went well. The claim wasn’t as serious as I thought it was. I called and Jay the plumber came out two days later. I wish he would’ve came out faster, though. In my basement which is a finished basement, when I flushed the toilet, it did not flow. I was thinking it was because my ejection pump wasn’t ejecting the stuff to the main line. But the only thing the tech had to do was snake it out and it started working properly. It was an easy fix.

My dryer and oven were not heating. The service scheduling was a little challenging, but that was partly because of me and my schedule. I work downtown full time. So it took us four or five days to get somebody out, but the tech came. He showed up on time and fixed all the problems. He met my housekeeper and I asked that he give me a call before he left and he did. He said he got everything working. I got home that night and everything was working. They were very nice. This is the first time I've ever had such a positive easy experience with American Home Shield. They often deny coverage. I was about to cancel my warranty. But I thought I was gonna give them one more shot with this last issue and they resolved it to my satisfaction. So I haven't cancelled, but generally, they decline coverage, and I don't always have the energy or the time to fight it.
It seems to me to be an odd dynamic to have the customer pay for the service visit before you even know if there's gonna be coverage. They could do a little bit better job of pre-screening the calls because if they know that they're gonna deny coverage, why would I waste $100 on the service call. That's kind of how I feel the last few visits have been. It's like that they just want me to pay the $100, and then they paid that contractor, and that contractor is not motivated to fix my stuff because they're getting the fee no matter what. They can be in and out of my house in two minutes, not do anything and still make $100 that I paid, and I'm out of $100 and nothing is fixed.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you to make sure your issue is resolved. I look forward to assisting you.

The door sensor on the microwave stopped working and apparently, it was attached to the motherboard that wasn’t available any longer. It was a combination unit, so American Home Shield replaced both of them. It took a little more than a week for someone to come out after I made the claim. It was quick and I feel good about AHS right now. I felt bad before this thing happened. I’ve been a customer for at least four years and I had an air conditioner that when I was having trouble with, I could barely get anybody to even call me back. I kept paying service fees and the contractors kept coming and saying that there was nothing wrong. I ended up having to replace the air conditioner myself.
I was seriously thinking about dropping the service because I was thinking that AHS is never gonna pay. But in this particular circumstance, they far exceeded my expectations. They did not balk about replacing the microwave and offered me several choices. The one that I chose was one that they could and they would install at no cost to me and take away the old one and install the new one, or I could’ve gotten a stipend towards a different unit.

We have problems with a manor hotel type air conditioner heater unit in the bonus room. We had been working with American Home Shield for over two weeks. They sent three different technicians out and when they got out there, they told us that they don't work on these units. They do HVAC but they don't work on units where when you go in, it fits under a window. I have a tenant in that house so I called a man myself and told him to give me a list of people who are certified to work on this in the natural area. So they did, and I called American Home Shield and told them that they had three chances and it's a child's bedroom and it was cold there so we had to get it fixed. Plus they had the tornado the night before. This guy was very attentive and he did go through the list to match someone to the people that I suggested that is covered and sent them out.
The man called me this morning and said that it's a broken heating element and that he had ordered the new part. It will one week for delivery and he is going to put it in some time middle of next week. That's the first time I've really ever had that problem with American Home Shield because I have it on several rental properties plus my own two properties. It's very important that the contractors read their dossiers that they give American Home Shield to make sure that they work on this particular type of unit. Until this experience, we've always had a wonderful experience with American Home Shield. But they need to make sure that the people they send out actually work on that equipment.

Max Air Heating and Cooling came out. Installation was good and everything was fine. The tech boys did really well. I had R22 and it was gonna be $1,000 to recharge it and replace the leaky valve. So they told me there was an upgrade through AHS and I said let me find out about it. They got an upgrade but AHS didn’t pay anything on it. So I paid for the whole thing. I wasn’t really happy about that but under the situation, I was not going to put money in the old system and have to do it again, and then you would finally have to replace it anyway with an R410 unit, so I just went ahead and did it and bit the bullet. I've had AHS for 20 years now and I’ve always got a good response from them, except for this time. I'd hoped that there would be some help as far as the cost went but other than that, they’ve been good for us.

The heat would come on for a brief second and just cut off. I contacted American Home Shield and I spoke with more than one person at different times.

Home Shield pays for everything and submitting claims is easy. But I don’t understand the service charge upfront. Any time you submit a claim, it is gonna be $150.

I submitted a garage door claim online and I had to pay the service charge of $150. The warranty only covered the garage door opener and the tech from Garage Door and More installed two springs and put the cable back up. He charged me close to $500.

Our last few experiences with American Home Shield have been very negative, so we are gonna finish our contract with them. We built our house and then got AHS after our builder warranty expired after five years. So we've been with them for eight years. As of the past two years, the people that they sent out were horrible. When I get the text notification as to whom they've assigned my issue to, I now know that I need to get on to Google and read their reviews so I'm mentally prepared for what's about to happen.
Grace Air & Heat had horrible reviews. I told my husband to brace himself because the reviews were one star and it specifically said it was this guy that was coming. But he was amazing. So I put a review on there that I did not experience what everyone was experiencing, and I had a great experience. I submitted the claim to American Home Shield at 5:00 AM and the contractor came out at 2:00, which was within 10 hours. They were very professional, prompt and let me know what the issue was. They went and got the part and they came back and fixed it. The last six claims that we had were horrible experiences, so it was nice to have a little change of pace. I had a great experience when they came out and they were nice. I asked them a couple of other questions with another issue and they were honest. I like people like that instead of people who are trying to make a buck.
The contractors that AHS are sending out are the problems. They are more in making money on their end, to the point where the last one that came out tried to tell me I needed to do X, Y, and Z, and it was gonna cost two grand. I called and asked for a second opinion and that person came out and they had no idea what that person was talking about. It was literally a sprinkler head. I felt like I was being scammed and it has been that way for the past handful of times.
I've called American Home Shield afterwards to let them know what was going on. They need to pick and choose their contractors a little bit better. This isn't representing their company well. They said they've made notations. I've verbalized several times that we’re not happy with the experience and I don't need a manager to call me. My rates continue to go up which I get, but that has to be justified. My service and experience aren't getting better but my rates are going up. I used to pay a $50 copay and now, I'm up to almost $100.

I submitted a claim to AHS because the dryer was making so much racket, I could hardly stand around it. And the pulley was definitely worn out ‘cause I saw it when it came off. We’ve had some issues with it not running long enough because the temperature sensor has been giving some issues, and the contractor that came out said it's the dryer sheets, and I just said okay. But when they put claim they did, they did not change the belt, since the pulley was worn out. He didn't change it either. Everything's okay since he came out, except that it shuts off too early. Most of the time, I also gotta put it on maximum dry for a normal load. But I was very happy with the company’s response time. It was literally within just a few minutes, and they scheduled an appointment and were here within an hour when they were supposed to be. The technician was also pretty professional.
I’ve had the American Home Shield warranty for several years. Their service response has gotten much better and it’s much better to put a claim in over the internet than it is over the phone.

I had been working with AHS to repair my refrigerator since Thanksgiving. Three companies were out to my house 6 times to work on the repair. The first company did the normal fix for the problem. They ordered the parts but the repair did not work. The second company asked me what the first company did. They did nothing. The third company worked hard to repair it. Took it apart. Ordered parts. It did not work. All this time I needed to use my steam cleaner to melt the ice that blocked the vent twice a week.
I received my replacement refrigerator 2/27/2020. The installer did not stay the refrigerator cooled. They did not align the doors. The refrigerator never cooled. After 5 days I had a repairman come. The compressor was no good. This was supposed to be a new Fridge. This is a process from hell. I give AHS ZERO stars. As a real estate agent, I have gotten warranties for my clients.

T & J Investments doesn't actually do the electrical. They call another place and ask them to do the work for them ‘cause I can't get ahold of them at all. They get a little bit of money and then pay the other people. The electrician they got was supposed to replace a breaker and instead of replacing the breaker, they took the breaker out of my panel and wired it to another breaker which caused the other breaker to blow.
The next day, I went to turn on the washer again and it didn't work. I wasn't watching the guy when he was doing his work. I'm disabled as it is so I don’t end up working around checking on workers. But he brought the breaker into the house to show me what was wrong with it and I assumed that he replaced it but he never did. Anything electrical is very dangerous in my book and I'm very upset for them to do what they did in our almost-50-year-old home. The guy didn’t speak much English.

I thought I might need a replacement, and he didn’t replace anything even though I would’ve liked to replace it. If I just called a regular service company, it would’ve been like 90 bucks.

We've been with American Home Shield for a couple of weeks before the dishwasher went out. It wasn’t draining or working at all. Unitech Appliance Service came out and the guy was very knowledgeable. He was a very nice man too. When he got in there, he looked at the diagram of the dishwasher then he checked it out and he knew exactly what it needed. He said sometimes it takes up to two weeks but he came back within five days and fixed it to my satisfaction. There was no problem at all so he did a very good job.
The person American Home Shield sent out for repair was great but customer service couldn’t get their act together in the beginning. My payment was supposed to be auto-deducted every month but they didn’t get that correctly so they kept sending me emails saying my account was past due. So that had to be straightened out. I called then. For the $125 repair fee, I had given them my bank account number and they tried to run it through that but they didn’t save that number for auto deduction. Somehow, there was a disconnect in the office. It wasn’t my fault. But it's been figured out now. Besides, I know American Home Shield is an excellent company and that’s why I went with them. They did have such great reviews.

I previously submitted a claim with Home Shield for the microwave and it went well. However, Home Shield always gives you something similar to what you got in your house, but it won't be the exact one. The color might be off, which is fine, but it's supposed to be something close to what you have if they have to replace the item. Like for the microwave, they did a good job with that. When my microwave went out and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, they gave a new one. And the guys came, they put it in, no problem. The microwave is similar to what I had because you're never gonna get the exact same thing, but they tried to get close to what I had.
The sink is plastic and has edges on it which tears my hand. If my hand hit it, it would scratch my hand. The tech is changing the faucet out close to what I had. What American Home Shield explained to me, they never give you exactly what you have because what you might have been 30 years old and they don't make that anymore. So, they give you close to what you have. My sink was stainless steel, pull-down sprayer, soap dish and everything. Now the tech put in a little plastic sink and you reach the bottom and it was plastic, and I hit my hand on it trying to move it around and it cut me. It goes over to the other sink right in the corner of it, but the water is just barely going over there. I said to them I'm supposed to have something similar to that.
The garbage disposal once needed a part. Also, we had a problem with the sink. The pressure was low. When the tech came the first time, he got everything fixed. But when he left, the water pressure went away. So, he came back and said, “It did go away. I don't know why the water pressure went away.” But he said it was because of a seal.

He made doubly sure about how he cleaned his shoes before he came in. So, I was very pleased with the service that I got from this young man. Every time I have called AHS, I have received very courteous care.

He changed a little pad and that was not good. Then, we found out that things didn’t work and that was when I called again. This nice guy came and he looked at my refrigerator. He explained in a nice way that whenever the ice would get stuck, we just throw away the part that was stuck. If we don't use the ice all the time, that will happen. Then, water was running under the washer and he said that we had to keep an eye on that. But he said the dryer had to be replaced. Within days, we had a new dryer. It was really quick and amazing. I was so surprised.
I’ve had American Home Shield for years. I had canceled, and then I started, then I canceled, and then I started.

When I had another stoppage, the contractor saw that it wasn’t coming from the side I thought it was coming from. It was coming from the yard to the street, which was the same place it was clogged up the first time. It didn’t take them long to unclog it. They didn't even come prepared to utilize the 100 feet snake that AHS paid for. They only had 80 feet and were still able to use less than 80 feet to unclog the problem. We ran the water and made sure it was flowing and going through the pipes. I asked them if they could determine what the clog was, but they said no. They only knew that they hit something and that the snake cleared it out. It wasn’t from the toilet like I thought and was probably from the kitchen side.
The first time that AHS sent somebody out, the contractor said that it was grease. The second guy that came out didn’t even snake it, which was why AHS sent somebody the third time. The contractor said that it wasn’t grease and that the grease was just what was behind the clog. It was a big mess with AHS because they said they don't pay for grease because they consider grease a foreign substance. It's not. It’s everyday use.
The guys that unstopped the pipe the first time were exceptional. They went beyond the call of duty to help me clear that thing out. The guys that came the last time were very professional and prompt in getting here. They moved me up and came on Monday, which was a day early. They knew what they were doing and got it cleared in less time than the other guys did the first time. To me, they were the best.
Having AHS has really helped me out a lot. It has been worth paying for. Something always appears to come up and unfortunately, I’ve had some major things come up. Although American Home Shield took care of it promptly, it was not without a few snags with the contractors that they use. However, I ended up with the best contractors once we got rid of the ones who weren't trying to do anything. AHS doesn't know who they're sending out. Each time I’ve had to use them, my experience with the first set of people that they've sent out has not been good.

And the technician from J&S All Tech that came in was fantastic and very professional. He said the radiators were getting hot. Everything has worked out fine.

I had a problem with the upper part of my oven not working, and American Home Shield sent an appliance group out at first. They were young guys and they kept scratching their heads saying, “We’ve never seen this before.” They tried to say it was an electrical problem and that it was something with my breaker. But I have an oven that has a top oven and a bottom oven and the stove top. Everything worked on that oven, except the top oven, so I kept saying that it was an oven issue. I told them that my breaker box is a whole separate thing and that was not what I called on. But American Home Shield then sent out an electrician to look at an electrical issue, which then he said that there is a breaker back there that needed attention. But, again, it was not related to the original issue I had submitted, which was an oven issue.
The first group was very professional but they weren’t experienced enough to look a little further into what the problem was. The electrician guy seemed a little bit like he had an attitude. At first, he told me he doesn’t move appliances. So I moved the stove for him. My breaker box is in a closet and I had to move some clothes, and then he said, “Well, can you move them all?” So he had a little bit of a chip on his shoulder.
American Home Shield finally sent out the Wright Appliances and they remedied it with a relay switch. I had used them before to repair my dishwasher and I really like those guys. They were very professional. They go in and they know what they’re doing. So for future reference, I will always ask for the Wright Appliance people because they seem to have more experience and they knew what they were doing.
I submit my claims online and it was pretty easy to navigate through their website as far as me submitting exactly what I needed. American Home Shield would come back and issue the people to come out. Then it’s usually within a couple of days that the contractor would contact me. For this experience with the oven, the claim kept going back and forth for two months. But when we did the dishwasher, it was a much better experience.

When the house was built, the furnace and flashing on the flue wasn't installed properly. The water got down in there and rusted the body of the furnace. Sevier Climate Control came and installed a new one yesterday. They were efficient and professional. The guy named Craig was very informative. Then there was a problem with the AC. Craig came out last night from his home and corrected the problem, which happened to be a wire that wasn’t connected. There was a previous incident where the contractor had to rewire the AC but left all wires there. The guy that installed it thought the old wire was rewired, but it wasn’t. When Craig came out, he discovered the problem and corrected it expeditiously. He also explained to me what was going on. AHS is a good deal for me. It saves a gang of money and the experiences we’ve had with them have all been positive.

This is the second full year I'm with AHS. I got my home and it came with the warranty, so I decided to renew it. Doing a claim with AHS has been super simple through the website. I’ve done it multiple times and I haven’t had an issue with it. When my fridge was having a problem they had to order a part. It will take a few days, so I did some chat online and then I spoke with a representative.
In both cases they let me know that there was some waiting period time before they could get the replacement part and then the technician coming back to do the repair. But both experiences on the chat and on the phone were fine. But if the wait time can appear somewhere in the website it will save me a call or a chat trying to figure out what’s going on. Recently we got a technician from Breakthrough Pool dropping by the house. He announced himself, and then went to check the issue. He did the diagnostics and he came back about the same day with the replacement. Ever since then it has been perfect.

We had two claims at the time and when I called American Home Shield, I went through the automated system. The door wouldn’t go up and down and the claim for that went fine. We didn’t have any issues at all. The technician made a few adjustments on the machine and it’s working properly now. On the other hand, the people who fixed the stove just showed up and knocked on the door without an appointment. Luckily, I was home at the time. We’re still in the process of getting the stove fixed. The part is on order and the technicians were supposed to come out Friday. Then, they called about 20 minutes ago and begged off to come on Monday instead, and I let them do it.
It has been three years now that we’ve been with American Home Shield but we’re gonna go ahead and cancel the service next month. I got a bill in the mail from them and the prices went up quite a bit. It’s way too high and it’s over $700 now. The girl called me the other day wanting to renew and I told her no. She offered me $25 off and I said that they should’ve done that in the first place. I’ve been with them for a while and they should take better care of their existing customers than trying to give the discounts to the new ones. With the $25 off, I did some checking online and AHS is about $200 more than everybody else per year. So, I’m gonna have to probably move on to another company.

When I first got the home, I was with 2-10. Then, I left them and I've been with American Home Shield going on three years now. I've been happy with them. Recently, I called in a claim for my microwave and Pyke Appliance Repair came out. They ordered parts and I dealt with them for two weeks, but the problem was not resolved. Then, a guy from Sears came out. But he did not fix it and instead, put in a request for me to have it replaced. Then, there was a problem with Sears contacting me because they were calling my old number, but they were texting me on my new number. A week ago, when they were supposed to be coming out, I got a text message saying that I had been rescheduled. So, I got online and asked what happened. They said they were trying to contact me at my old number but I told them that the number they were texting me from is the correct number. So then, we rescheduled.
I got a confirmation on Friday and I got a call that they wanted to come out Saturday. So, even at 1:30 on Saturday, I got online to see if I was still gonna get service. It said I would still have confirmation that somebody was still gonna come out Saturday between 1:00 and 5:00. But come 4:30, I haven't heard from anybody. So, I got online and this was when I found out that I had been rescheduled because the serviceman got it fixed and it was still not working. But I told them that they should have contacted me. That was two Saturdays I had set aside for them to come by and they didn't come by.
So then, I called the warranty company. The first lady I got was telling me that Sears was gonna have to come to my home. I told her that I didn't want Sears on my home, and we went back and forth. So, I hung up on her. Then on a Sunday, I called in and spoke with another agent. And now, somebody from Appliance Care is supposed to come out tomorrow. But it's about to be a month since I called in that claim and the microwave is still not fixed.

I've filed claims online and via the automated system and it's always easy. It takes longer for the computer to boot up than it does for the process. One time, I had a leak from the overflow valve on top of the hot water tank. There's a tube that comes out and goes to the floor in case there's an issue and it was dripping from that. I called that in on a Saturday morning to American Home Shield. We live in a small community, so I knew Gash, the contractor, wouldn’t respond to me until Monday morning, but that was fine. There was no reason to call their after-hours number. They responded to me on Monday and fixed it that afternoon.
The contractors have not been always fabulous, though. In the last two years, I have had two times the contractor showed up but didn’t show up to complete the repairs.

River City Appliance's communication was good. I called the service on my appliance because I was wondering if anything could be done about it. It was like, "We're either gonna have to replace this thing or maybe fix it myself," but I got American Home Shield, so I thought I'd try, and it turned out really well. River City was saying how old it was and they were able to find the part that was needed that I probably wouldn't have been able to find myself. It was just a simple part. After kinda seeing how he did the fix, it was like, "I kinda figured that's how it was," but not having any experience with fixing something like that, I didn't wanna really do it myself. So, it was easier to call and see if they could take care of it, and the guy totally could.
I had AHS for one year. I got it initially when I bought the house. It was discounted when I bought the first time, and then this time, the price went up, but because I'm still not 100% certain on everything, instead of trying to get a contractor out here, I'll just place the service call and see if they can do something. A lot of times, it's just little tweaks, which I think is fine because I don't mind paying the service fee for that. So, I renewed them for another year. It's been useful because I didn't know how to do something as simple as disassembling the furnace. I got a furnace call a while ago, and it was just the inside that was dirty that I could take apart and do myself, but not knowing the functions of inside that model furnace, it was easier to just go and have them pop someone in that was surprisingly available at a very convenient time too. They were able to send someone quickly, and he handled the situation to get my heat running a little bit better.

AHS's contractors were knowledgeable, professional, on time, and courteous. They got the job done quickly.

I didn’t have a total understanding of my contract and I didn’t do any kinda upgrades because I thought all those were in my contract. American Home Shield needs to give the whole spiel, tell people everything and what’s not covered so they would have a choice to have it covered or not, instead of leaving them in the blind and not knowing till after the fact.
My washer and dryer went bad and had I known they weren’t covered, I would’ve upgraded my insurance or my coverage but it was too late for me to do it. I wouldn’t have had to buy a new washer and dryer. I could’ve just had the insurance cover it.

Other than that, everything has been going great.

I had a phenomenal experience with American Home Shield. I’ve opened three different service requests and it’s been handled in a timely manner, and the contractors have been very professional. AHS has been absolutely excellent. I like the flexibility in terms of their monthly payment plans. You’re able to choose your monthly payment and what each service request will be when you open it up based on your payment monthly. I always do my claims online. It’s the easiest way. It’s very convenient and simple. I looked for an app but I haven’t been able to find it, and an app would be very useful.

American Home Shield has been very responsive in the year I've been with them. The people whom they have provided to do service have been very quality-focused too. Most recently, my husband submitted a claim for the change of our door locks to AHS. Their contractor from Secure Home Locksmith & Safety Services, LLC called us up right away and let us know when to expect them out. The tech was really good. He gave us new keys and switched out the locks on our doors. The work he did was perfect.

I was with Home Shield a couple of years ago and I ended up discontinuing it. I had them come out for a dishwasher issue. They fixed it but the part of the plastic on the door was broken and it was obvious that water was gonna get in there and eventually screw the dishwasher out. But the company that came out said it was purely cosmetic and they didn't like to fix that. I asked them to put in writing what they were telling me and so they sent me an email. A year and a half later, the dishwasher screws up again. I did a service request and Home Shield sent the exact same company. When the contractors got there, they looked at it and said it had been broken. They said it was not covered and they were not fixing it. I got back to Home Shield and they wanna battle with me. Luckily, I saved that one email. I sent it to them and ultimately, I got my free dishwasher.
But that pissed me off a bit and I ended up quitting the company after that because I didn't want it to be that much of a hassle. I didn't have it for a lot of years. But now, I'm back with Home Shield and there's more stuff they do online like scheduling the appointment. I had a plumbing issue and DN Plumbing came out twice. I thought there’d be some struggle but there wasn’t. They replaced my garbage disposal and unplugged my sink. But then, when I got home that night, my pipes were leaking a little bit. But it was really easy to schedule and they came back out at no charge and fixed that.
Then I went home two nights ago and ran the water for a considerable amount of time and it was gone. I put the third request in and had them scheduled again. They were coming out this morning between 8:00 and 11:00. But then I realized that the sink was not plugged and I didn't need them. I called the plumbing company twice and left them messages to cancel. They never called me back so I ended up calling Home Shield to make sure that the contractors knew that they were cancelled 'cause I didn't want them to show up and say I owe them money. The AHS rep took care of it. So at this point, I'm happy with AHS.

Every time I’ve had a problem, they’ve come and fixed it. I feel safe in my house now. Before, I wasn’t sure who to call or what to do if something broke. But since I’ve had Home Shield, if something goes down, I don’t feel all by myself anymore. I called them for my most recent claim because I wasn’t sure if I needed a garage person or an electrician. The guy came out and he fixed the chandelier and a little light bulb that was in there. He took off the light bulb and he showed me that there was nothing wrong with the garage. Someone just pulled the thing down. So there was no electric problem in the garage. He was wonderful. This is my man. They should send him back again if I ever have a problem.

They then sent another guy because I complained, and I looked up his licensing. It is no good since 2014, and his reviews from 2012 are awful. The guy was a shyster. I called up, tried to get corporate, and said, “This company is not licensed.” That was awful. But I had a guy come out yesterday, and he figured the problem in 15 seconds.

It didn’t even occur to me where to go with a home warranty. But when my husband died, my income went down so I decided that in order to maintain the house, I needed to have some help. With the first company I went with, it was really weird to try to deal with them. It was like they had absolutely no contract with the contractors. There's nothing in the Washington State because I put in two really low costs claims, which should've been easy-to-get-through projects, but I ended up having to call my own. I had to find somebody to do it for me and I didn’t know who to call because my husband was always a do-it-yourself person. I had to try and explain to these contractors what it was that the warranty company wanted them to do and they just didn’t get it. I ended up doing all the phone calling and trying to get approval before the work could be done. It was just obnoxious.
The first call that I made to them, we did get through and I did get reimbursed. But with the second one, they were giving me such a bad time. I had such a rude rep talk to me that to get her off the phone, I was just saying, “Yes, ma’am.” Finally, I was like “Screw it, I’m just gonna pay for it myself.” I gave that up then I went online and I looked to see who the most highly rated home insurance type thing was. American Home Shield came up as number one. For a couple of months now, I've been with them and I would highly recommend them.
They have been so easy. You go online and click a few things like if you have an electrical problem in the basement. They contact the contractor and the contractor contacts you to tell you when they're gonna be there. They come, figure out what the problem is, they fix it, and they leave. You don’t even have to sign anything when they leave. It's just bada bing, bada boom, it's done. It's wonderful, especially after my other experience. People who've had no experience with a really crappy home warranty may not know the difference, but I certainly do. I love American Home Shield.

We were three weeks without hot water and we had a big couple of weeks planned that was ruined by not having any hot water and our guests having to take cold showers.

The first time, I was very happy with AHS when they had the guy come out and order a part for my refrigerator. He fixed it enough for me to keep using it until he got the new part because I am diabetic and I have insulin to keep it in there. Then he came and put the new part in. It’s been okay, it works fine. Then I've had two things redone because the people that came out to do them the first time either messed up or refused to fix it.
There was this guy for the washing machine. He was saying it was my fault but he never even took the front off and never looked at it. He turned it on, ran it a little bit, and turned it off. He said that I've abused and overloaded it and that it was not covered. I asked how he knew that I've overloaded my washing machine, it was brand-new. He said that he could just tell. I was just like, “Okay.” He pulled out a huge, broken piece from the outer drum and said if that break had been a little been bit lower, it would have flooded my cabinets, floor, and walls, and he had to replace my washer. Then the second guy that came out actually fixed the washer and he was great.
This last year at this time, somebody came out and fixed my furnace. They made me wait almost six weeks for a part in wintertime to come out. I was using space heaters that whole time which drove my electricity up like crazy. When he fixed it, I was not home. Then it made this horrible clonk-clonk sound. I took a video of it and texted the guy back. He informed me that that was the way it sounded. It’s metal and it hasn’t been used for a while and it’s expanding. I sent him the video and said that it didn't sound right to me. He called me back saying that I was not used to having a furnace that worked right inside our house. He did not fix it right and it just kept sound like the igniter was trying to start but it never did so we just turned the thermostat down so far that it wouldn’t kick on.
Finally, it quit running altogether. I called and made an appointment and AHS was gonna send somebody out. I looked the company up on the internet and they had horrible reviews. I told AHS that I didn’t want that company to come out in my house. Then my husband’s friend told us to check and see if the batteries are working in our thermostat. My husband checked and changed the batteries. We turned the furnace back on and it seemed to work okay so I called and canceled the order. Not even a week and a half later, the furnace had kicked on and it sounded okay like it normally did, only this time, it went clonk-clonk, and crashed. I had my husband turn the gas off to the furnace and then I turned the thermostat down so it wouldn’t come on. I called AHS and they were gonna send the same people out that I said before that I didn’t want.
We ended up getting a guy out that was amazing. It was actually the part that the other guy put in that he didn’t tighten down in the back. So, I didn’t feel that I had to pay my deductible of $125. I wanted that back because the first guy for the furnace didn’t complete his job. I had to call yesterday again and they said that the refund was canceled. It was a system error. But nobody called or let us know by email or text for that so I've got major returns and charges.
I'm not totally unhappy with the people that I found, the refrigerator guy, the furnace guy and the second furnace guy, and the second washer. They replaced my washer so they stood behind that. I would feel a lot better if AHS would have better quality contractors in their pool to send out to people because I don’t mind paying to have anything fixed.

When there were pipes that were leaking, the contractor told me that if I needed somebody immediately, I should contact American Home Shield again since their earliest availability was two days from the day that I was speaking with them. It would’ve been nice to have somebody but since it was already booked, I didn’t feel the need to break it. Plus, they seemed alright on the phone. The leak part is fixed but now, there are holes in the wall caused by the repair. The drywall has to get dry though and then we need somebody to come out and actually touch the work so I haven’t called American Home Shield.

I’m a returning American Home Shield customer and I’m going to two years with them this last time. Our garage door kept going up on its own. We’d wake up in the morning and it’s up. It was easy submitting the claim online, and I’m no computer wiz. I was given a 10:00-12:00 time window and the tech from Arizona Native Garage Doors was right on time. I watched him replace the fuse box and I love the service. He was very professional and if I had any other issue, I hope they would send him back. Overall, I’d tell others to get American Home Shield. And I’m not easy to please.

This is my first year with American Home Shield and I made my first claim with them online. I did it on a Sunday and initially, they gave me a date of Wednesday for a provider to come out and work on my refrigerator. But on Monday, I got a call from the provider who said that Home Shield had overbooked them. They couldn’t come out Wednesday but would come out that Tuesday instead which was even better. The tech was great and very professional. He called to let me know when he was 30 minutes out and when he was very close to my property. He told us initially what the problem was but he didn’t have the part. He was gonna see if he could get it by the next day, which he did, and he came back right then and installed it.
Before I signed up with American Home Shield, I googled them up and their reviews were all over the place. Some people were really good with them and some people hated them. My experience with them was very good. I haven’t had any problems with my refrigerator since the tech came. The only thing was when I did the claim online, it said Whirlpool, which was kinda weird. I didn’t know who the actual contractor was gonna be until they called.
Online, it was indicated that it was a beta test and that they were trying where you could change the supplier. Normally, they just default to whoever they wanna send out. But I guess they’re trying something new where they let you pick. It was two of them like that where it was manufacturer names, but it was actually the name of the people who would be coming. The first option they provided listed a specific company itself. But when I researched that company, the reviews weren’t that great. It was 3 on Google. I went to the second option which is somebody called Whirlpool but it didn’t give you the provider name. I was not sure if it was Whirlpool itself. They’re a manufacturer. But I felt better with that. On the website, it should try to identify who the contractor is going to be as it would have been helpful.

There was something wrong with the drain in the kitchen. I called it in and spoke to a live person. I thought he was courteous. He gave me the telephone number and told me that if the contractor won't contact with me within 24 hours, I could call the number. He gave me my confirmation code.

I'm still waiting for Live Green to come back and do one other thing. I was leaving for work one morning and I discovered there was water coming out of my garage. It was raining outside. There was a leak in my water set-off room. That was the main thing that I wanted them to come out here for, which they fixed. When I submitted this particular claim, I called AHS and spoke to a person. I was shocked that the contractors came out here that quick. There have been times where it has taken a very long time like 30 plus days to get something fixed.

We were assigned Astro Appliance for our Viking oven repair. Repairman came out, who was difficult to understand. He told us part would need to be ordered. Called this morning as the part was approved by American Home Shield. I called Astro Appliance and spoke to Crystal to inquire when part would be delivered. She told me she wasn’t sure, hopefully by weekend. I asked could she please check with the parts department. She placed me on hold 15 minutes. Didn't check back with me.
When she finally came back on the line, she said she was unable to reach the parts department. I told her that it would have been nice if she would have picked up while I was on hold to let me know, that it was unprofessional to keep a customer on hold and not checking. She hung up on me. I pulled up the reviews on this company and customers gave this company 1 Star. American Home Shield should not do business with companies that do not have great customer service and repairs. I am very disappointed with this experience and waiting for AHS to call me back as hopefully they will be more successful in finding out when the part will be delivered and where it was ordered from. This should be standard to communicate with customers on updates when a repair is not complete.

Original Review: March 3, 2020
So I had a loose kitchen faucet last year and called AHS who sent someone out to tighten it up, I personally thought it was still a little loose which would eventually prove to be true but was told by the repairman it was fine. Several weeks ago the faucet came loose and is only being held by the supply lines so you basically have to hold the base with one hand while using.
I called in another service request and the repairman came out and said the base was stripped out but AHS denied the claim saying that the work had improperly done, when I called AHS who never reached out to me to inform me of the decision I explained to them that the work had been performed by one of their repairmen, their solution was to send another repairman from a different company to verify and once again the claim had been denied now due to high water pressure even though no other faucet or anything is experiencing and issues. The bottom line is AHS is only interested in taking your money and they DO NOT care about you!

I recently had my dryer worked on and my washer went out just before that, they came out, made a repair and when we got the washer fixed my dryer was making a very loud disturbing noise, when I called them back for a recall it was just outside of the 30 days and it was for the same issue they just fixed and they made me pay another service charge which is BS if you ask me! I could understand if it was another issue but it wasn’t. I would not recommend this company to anyone let alone try and call these people if you have an issue, they keep you on hold and just hang up on you anyways! Be careful when choosing a warranty.

I had a stoppage in my sink and called AHS to fix it. They contracted a plumber to come out, but that plumber never showed. AHS set up a second contractor and they arrived for the appointment. The plumber didn't have the tools to do the job so they had to schedule another appointment. When they came back they were unable to clear the drain line so they said that the line must be broken. They gave AHS the options to fix it with the cheapest one being to jackhammer into the foundation and repair the "broken pipe" or "slab leak". I called customer service and disagreed that the pipe was broken. But customer service didn't have another option for me besides have the plumber try the repair for thousands of dollars. Decided I needed a second opinion and got a different plumber.
They came out and were able to show that the line was not broken and were able to clear the blocked drain line. I called AHS and the customer service person said they would try and reimburse me for the work done. After several back and forth emails with the proof of repair department they denied my request because the plumber I used was not in their network. Even though the AHS plumber would have needlessly damaged my home and wasted my money and AHS's and the work I had done by the other plumber was cheaper than the amount AHS would have paid. AHS didn't even offer to make things right for me, their loyal and patient customer. I know that AHS has to be cheap to make a profit but this is too much. Thankfully I didn't let them damage my foundation looking for a non existent slab leak. I can only hope that this helps another person to not have the same problem I did.

I am having really very bad experience with AHS for issue pertaining to My Refrigerator. My refrigerator has broken for more than 45 days now and still AHS is not able fix it or address it. Technicians from different contractors have made 6 visits until now and still the issue is not solved. Also there is no way to reach out to senior person or point of escalation within AHS to express the pain and grievance that could help escalate the issue and get early resolution. The customer support associates are also very rude at times and are not willing to help with reaching out to senior person or provide clarity on why the issue is not getting addressed even after 45 days.
For a family person like me having 2 kids, it's really tough to manage without refrigerator for few days and I had to go through this pain for almost 2 months now.

I needed a rekeying, and I called American Home Shield and gave them my reference contract number. They sent out a tech and things went perfectly. He was professional and good. There were a total of eight keys and they had two different keys for each of those, so they were different keys. My expectation was that he would simply make a change to those. But what he did was to give me one copy that would operate all of the keys. That was the only thing that was different and I don't know if that’s good or bad.

The person we purchased our home from bought a warranty from American Home Shield and we've had it since August. When our water heater went out almost a couple of months after we bought the house, it took a couple of weeks which was longer than I would’ve liked to get it fixed. I wasn’t really happy about that but this last go-around was much smoother. They kind of expedited it because it was the second time I’ve had problems with the water heater. Someone from BB Lewis Plumbing came out, took a look at it and figured out the problem in five minutes. He then came back out and fixed the issue. There’s still one thing that he has to come back out for and fix. It's like a circulating pump and he’ll get to that probably this week or next week. But I have hot water in the interim so it's fine. He was good. He was both professional and efficient.

We bought a new house and we got a home warranty with American Home Shield. We kept it because we’ve had some issues and they fixed them. It was not always efficiently and productively, but they fixed them. We've been with them for two years and it's been an up and down experience. It took them nine months to fix my refrigerator. We had nine different service people out. I went without a fridge for three months in the nine-month period. I wasn’t very happy with them at that time.
Everybody they sent out tried to fix something different. They would fix it for a couple of weeks then they would have to wait for approval for a new part. It was bad. Finally, American Home Shield replaced the fridge. I got to a supervisor and said I was done. Nobody could fix it so they should just replace it. It was definitely not pleasant. But the home warranty fixed other things like when we had a microwave issue. A contractor came right out and got it fixed. Another was with our heater that wouldn’t turn on. The upstairs heater works but not the downstairs one. A/C Rescue was sent out and they did an incredible job. They had us in the next day, showed up on time, and got everything fixed in less than 20 minutes. The tech was very personable and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with this. By far, this was the best experience we’ve had with American Home Shield. They did a great job.

This is my second contract with American Home Shield. I prefer to call when filing claims ‘cause I'm trying to figure out how long it's gonna be. The first time, I had a claim with my refrigerator and it was a nightmare. The technicians that they hired lied. It was weird. It took forever and a day to fix it. But when I broke a spring door, the guy from Cactus Garage Doors came out and looked at it. He had a slight problem because of a shelf that was in the way of the spring so he just put the spring on the other side. He knew what he had to do to make things work. He fixed it and was gone in 20 minutes. It was amazing. This garage door thing is a good company. They seem like they know what they were doing.
I hope AHS somehow evaluates the ones they send out. I had an issue with the hot water where the guy reported back to American Shield that he couldn’t get parts and that my hot water leaked. When I called American Home Shield, I told them that the only thing between the bottom of my hot water heater and the floor was dust and it was not leaking. Whatever the technician told them was not the truth. AHS should not use that guy if they would tell incorrect information. They need somebody that they can rely on. On the other hand, if that same tech tells me something’s wrong and I need to replace this valve, if I don’t have the experience of what I think is wrong, I will just go ahead and pay it and American Home Shield’s the one that’s gonna bite the bullet and spend their money.
But as it turned out, I found parts for that hot water heater and it wasn’t hard. I looked at the sticker on the hot water heater and figured out that company was still in business, only they switched names. If I can do it quickly and this guy is in the business doing it, something’s wrong. American Home Shield needs to make sure they’re sending out good people because they’re the ones who will lose.

We had a plumbing issue and Faucet Brothers came in and they fixed the problem unlike the first company that American Home Shield sent out that did nothing. The toilet kept backing up seven times a week in the one main bathroom, and we thought maybe there was a blockage. Faucet Brothers snaked it. They tried putting a camera and all that stuff and they said, “It looks like your toilet is the original toilet from 20 years ago.” It’s the actual toilet that was causing the block up. So, they replaced the toilet and we haven’t had one block up since.
The guy from the other company was a moron. He came in, got up my roof, and didn’t know where the hole was outside the building for them to snake the main plumbing. Even though it was the toilet that was backing up, he refused to come in the house to even look at the toilet. He said, “It’s all in your plumbing, in your pipe. It’s not your toilet.” And he told me that they would have to rip up all the cement on my driveway in order to fix a little pipe that had a little centimeter lip over the piping, and that that was the problem. Faucet Brothers said, “No, it’s not.” A new toilet would cost about $200, and to rip up my whole driveway would've cost thousands.
American Home Shield should take the first plumber off their list of plumbers. I was being charged a fee for them coming out and doing nothing, and I was trying to figure out why it wasn’t being fixed. I called AHS and the lady who I spoke to said, “You know, I’m gonna send you out a different plumber without any charge because something sounds wrong with that first plumber.” She pulled up their name and she said that she was gonna give them a call because they said on their report back to AHS that the job was completed, and it wasn’t. AHS didn’t charge me the $75 fee for the second plumber to come out.

I had two claims but I'm in a remote area so it took a little while to get the contractors to come out. I kinda knew that would happen and I'm satisfied with the whole program of American Home Shield. A day was established that the contractors would come and then a four-hour window that they would appear. They both met that window so it went fine. Both contractors were efficient and did their job. They seemed to know my issue right away and were very professional. One of them has to come back only because they had to order parts for an oven. The oven is still not working until the new parts come in but the waste line is still running fine and there has been no recurrence.
It has been my practice to have a warranty and I'm glad I got one. The inspector who inspected the house prior to us moving in didn't do a very good job because both items that I had to have fixed were problems before I bought the house but he didn't identify them. Those items would certainly be something that the inspector would have known. So, I had to pay the deductible and I made two different claims so it was about $150. But I'm fine with it. I would've spent more than that if I had to have somebody come out and do it so the warranty was a smart choice for me.

Chesapeake came out and they did the refrigerator and the dryer. This is their second time coming out to our house. But the guy that always comes out is always in a hurry. He opens the refrigerator and looks, and we tell him what's happening and that it's not cooling. This is the second time that it wasn’t cooling. So, he said that he had to order a part. As far as when parts have to be ordered, I don't like that it’s as if we have to wait until it gets to American Home Shield, then American Home Shield has to contact the contractors. To be without a refrigerator for a good two weeks is a little crazy because you have to wait until the part is ordered, and then, they have to schedule to come back out.
After the guy looked at the refrigerator, he went upstairs to the washer. He just said that the vent was clogged. We told him it wasn't clogged. And he said, “Well, I have the same washer and it always happens.” But when he left after he cleaned it, it was still leaking. I let my husband take care of it. But I would have told the guy, “Okay, well, let’s turn it on and let’s see if it’s gonna leak again while you're here.” After he left, I asked what he said. My husband said that the guy said that it was just the drain clog.” I said, “No because just like the lint in the dryer, I clean it out every time. Just like the washer, the front load, I clean out that little ring around where you close the door for sealing and all that near the drain, I cleaned that too. But it’s still leaking.”
So, when the guy called to say the part came in, my husband told them the washer was still leaking. And when the guy came over to put the part in for the refrigerator, he went upstairs. He said he needed somebody else to help him because it was a stackable. So, they're gonna have to take that down and open up the washer.
We've had American Home Shield for over 20 years. Every now and then, we get a bad contractor. But overall, the contractors are good.

My daughter in Texas has had American Home Shield for a number of years and she likes them. I had Choice Home Warranty at first, and after talking with some other people that had American Home Shield, I went with them. I have no problems with how American Home Shield had it set up as far as contacting them and getting the request put in. It's easy. The representatives that handled my situation were very professional. Being an ex-military man, we tried to be as clear, concise and professional as possible. That is definitely appreciated on my part.
The only thing that I did not like about the whole process was that the unit cost me quite a bit to have it replaced and go with the 410A system. I went with the Goodman unit, but the unit was defective. The core had developed leaks in it. It wasn’t an old system. It was less 2 two years old, and we're stuck with a very expensive cost as far as putting the Freon in that. There should be a way to recoup a good portion of that cost back to the client when it's something that’s out of his control.
Other than that, as far as their professionalism, I would recommend them to anybody. The gentleman handled the situation very professionally. You can tell that he has been in the business for a little bit. He was very experienced. It was just a little bit timely as far as not responding as quickly as possible, but I can understand that with everybody having issues and problems with their unit, and it's only gonna get worse as it warms up.

What I call the capacitor of my system was going out and it was causing the motor to heat up some. It overheated and started smoking. The contractor replaced that and everything was functioning fine. He explained what was going on with the heating, how it was functioning and what I needed to do. He also gave some recommendations and everything went very well. Everything was wonderful, very expedient and it was better than what I thought it was gonna be.
I like that when I make a claim to American Home Shield, I'm kept in the loop every step of the way such as when someone is coming out and who's coming out. It's very convenient. I may not know the price of what the service might cost but I know when I pay my $75 that something's gonna be done. I'm not gonna come out of pocket thousand of dollars. But I noticed that the premium that I'm paying has increased. I didn't notice when the increase was so, I don't know if AHS has sent me anything to tell me that it was gonna be increased this year. Other than that, I like AHS. I tell my family about it and I suggest it to anybody who's purchasing a home.

Attwoods Appliances was sent by American Home Shield for a stove issue. It would not keep a temperature. It would go from 250 up to 400 when you had it set at 325. It was also so hot on the top that it melted a couple salt and pepper shakers on it. And then also the timer buzzer would not shut off, and none of those things worked up on the back. It kinda had a lot of issues. I called American Home Shield and talked to a very nice gentleman that I could absolutely understand, which was so lovely. He put a claim in for me and it was taken care of very easily.
We were told to expect our range within seven business days, and then Attwood called us to set up an appointment. We were supposed to let them know when the range was delivered and then we were supposed to set up an appointment. That all went very smoothly. Attwood was very good. I would recommend them for anybody. The tech knew what he was doing. He was very professional. He came in, got the work done, and showed me how to use it. He was very helpful.
We also had a claim for our refrigerator, and the experience was not so great though. I made nine calls to American Home Shield. If it was for that, I would never recommend Home Shield to anybody. It was horrible. The nine calls that I made were not five-minute calls neither. They kinda redeemed themselves now when our stove went out.
When they called me to re-up our contract, and I was gonna go with another company because that couple people in our community here had recommended this other company, and the gentleman told me that he could do my first service fee as a waiver if we would stay with them. So, I decided that I would and the whole big issue was that the first service fee was supposed to be waived. Finally, they honored that after nine calls. We were without a refrigerator for three weeks. It was a nightmare. They kept saying that they would take care of it, and then I would call a few days later and go over the whole thing with the next person again and, “Oh, yes. They would take care of it.”
I asked to talk to a supervisor and they said she was not available but she would call me back. I had to wait a couple more days and never got a call back. It was so awful, and you really cannot understand what they’re saying. It’s very frustrating. I was smart enough to just type it for a live chat and that was who finally got things figured out for me. It was much easier to communicate there because at least you can understand what they’re saying when they’re typing it.

I did my claim over the phone and I had to go over every single thing that needed worked on, which was fine. When I was adding the oven, the rep asked me where it was located and I told her it was in the kitchen. I then added the dishwasher and she also asked where it was location and I told her it was in the kitchen too. Each thing took about three minutes for her to tell me that she would go over my plan and see if it was something that was covered. So I was literally on the phone for 45 minutes. It was a long process over the phone. Also, we were under the impression that we could have multiple things done and covered, but it wasn't. So the plumbing issue was a $75 visit and then my appliance stuff that wasn't working right was another 75. We ended up canceling all the appliance stuff because it was adding up to where it was expensive to come out.
When the plumber came out, he explained to me our toilets are really, really old and that it looked like the homeowners put parts in that didn't match what was supposed to be in there. He also said that American Home Shield would never give me a credit to go get a new appliance or a new toilet. He added that they just try to fix it the best they can. So it was a little bit frustrating. But the plumber was great. He ended up fixing more to make sure that it was gonna be working smoothly. When we had a couple of cracks in our pool that we didn't know, I called American Home Shield and it was something that isn't covered as well. So it was frustrating. The range of what is covered was hard for us too. So we were coming out of pocket with a whole bunch of extra money that we weren't anticipating right away.

I had American Home Shield for years in North Carolina and it worked out fine. When I came up here and got this place in 2015, I used the home warranty again. I really like the company although at first, I was not too sure about your company for things going on up here. They sent out Majestic Custom Heat & Air Conditioning for a heating claim I had and it went very well. I told the lady who answered my call that it was going way below zero here tonight and I really needed somebody as soon as possible. She said that she would get right on it and she called me back. She said that she wasn't able to get anyone that day because it was late by the time I called her. But she told me who was gonna come out the next day. She was very good and I appreciated her help.
I liked the tech who came. He was very professional and I talked with him to see about the leak and everything. He tested everything and said there was no leak. I think what happened was on the day that my gas company came out the wind blew and the vents closed somewhat. It left a gas smell down there. When it was first tested and it tested kind of high. But afterward, the guy from the gas company couldn't get the reading again. He shut everything off though. The thing that I appreciated about the gentleman from Majestic that came was he came right away. That took me out of that cold because it was very cold here. He went outside and he tested out there. He turned my gas back on and everything has been going fine thus far.
This particular claim was very good and I was very happy with American Home Shield. The thing, however, is you think something is covered but then you find out that it's not simply because of where things are placed. I either didn't understand the contract or I didn't know really what was covered and what was not. Maybe it was my lack of reading or lack of understanding that things would be covered so I had to pay out of pocket on things like water spigots and stuff outside. I'm kind of apprehensive right now about what the warranty covers and what they don't.
The one year that I put the water softener on, they didn't tell me that it was gonna be a short-term thing. The next year, it was taken off the list and when I asked why it was because my coverage had gone up for it. They said they no longer cover the water softener. Had I known that they were gonna do it that fast, I would've had them at least come out and check the water softener to make sure that it was okay. I then had to call someone else to come out and do the checking on that. Maybe they did try and let me know that they were dropping the coverage on the water softener but I didn't get the memo.

AHS's website was efficient. We had light sockets that were not functioning and we were told to expect the contractor in a week or two. All County was a very good company. That particular time, AHS was perfect. However, we haven't had responses to two issues that we've written about and asked them for a reply about.
When you have an issue, they indicate to write to a certain address. There is absolutely no response. There is also no way to publicly submit a problem online. They just say to call a certain number. When I called the number, somebody talked and said they would submit the issue but there was no response. They just cut you off if there's an issue and you have a claim. If it's a positive repair, then they say, "You've been served, rate us and great." If it's negative, they just make it disappear and it's like it never existed.

The Green 2 Crystal Clear Pools tech recognized what was wrong right away. He put in a seal that had been leaking. He did what was necessary and fixed the problem. He was a very nice young gentleman. The only bad experience I ever had with American Home Shield is a plumber. He was a wreck. He didn't fix anything and he ruined a couple things on his way out. He lied too. He’d say, “I’d be there at such and such time,” and then he didn't show up and it was a mess.
We just told American Home Shield, “Leave it alone. We’re done. Don’t send anybody else.” We took care of it ourselves. We got our own plumber. But then right after that, we had a freezer go out. The young man that they sent was wonderful. He was right on time and he did everything he needed to do exactly, and he cleaned up a little mess.

American Home Shield is an excellent company and I’m very satisfied. They do what they say they're gonna do. A guy came in, repaired our dryer and put a new circuit board in. It has been running and we haven’t had any problems there. The issue I had was with the second call when the guy came out to do the sump pump. He wasn’t disrespectful, but I felt like he was not prepared. He said he had to do a modification for $80 since the pump he had wouldn't fit into the hole. I was at work and my son was there relaying the message. Now I understand that if the vendor had to do some modifications, I could be charged a fee. I didn’t know then, and shame on me I didn’t read all the way through.
Still, my thing is, why didn't the guy bring up a pump that would fit? If he didn’t have one on the truck, why didn’t he just go get one versus wanting to charge me a fee? The pumps only last so long. I’ve had two installed over the years and they went right in. I’m not a professional, but I know for a fact that if you can find one that fits out of Home Depot, then he needs to have one that fits. I was going to request American Home Shield send someone else out that will put a pump in, but the guy went ahead and waived the fee. Everything’s perfect since.

And then I currently have a claim out with my microwave stopped heating and I can’t see anything on the display. And so, that company came out. And first, they ordered the part, but they couldn’t even test it. They can’t even get the microwave out to replace the part. And the microwave actually needs to be replaced. We'll see what happens.
Then I had called out for my pool last year. I have a caretaker system which in a pool, a caretaker system is like the pop-ups. So, the pop-ups popped up, sunk to the bottom and that was not even covered. That was fine. But when I told the pool person that I was having problems with the pump, that it was leaking and making horrific noise, he said, “All I would be able to do is just replace the part until the pump wasn’t working anymore.” I may renew this year with AHS, but I’m also investigating other home repair companies to see if it might be more cost-effective to go elsewhere.

Mr. Appliance was great to work with. I had quite a few appliance problems that they had to resolve, but they did extensive troubleshooting to identify the issues and were able to resolve all of them. Although that particular claim was successful, it’s not always that simple. To begin with, Mr. Appliance came out as a result of another appliance company that AHS had sent out. That other company did not seem interested in resolving all of the issues. I had to put in a call to AHS and the time that I had to spend on the phone resolving that was quite extensive. It had to be elevated up to a manager. And finally, I was able to get Mr. Appliance. Also, one other contractor AHS sent out was supposed to resolve an issue, but they never called us back. So I called AHS and said to remove that contractor from any lists of anybody that would ever come out to my home again. And they did.

Submitting claims online is more convenient and faster. Last year, there were some fits and starts, but once I finally got my bearings on how to utilize and navigate the whole system, things got better. And this year has been great My most recent experience with AHS has been outstanding. When I let the dogs in and I the door closed, it didn't latch. During the night, the wind held and blew my door open. When I came downstairs the next morning and I went to my thermostat in the hall, it was just blank. It was kind of a strange coincidence, but that had happened before. The problem was a fuse on the heat pump that runs downstairs. The contractor got here very quickly. He was very professional and nice. He went right to work and went under the house. He found that sure enough, it was a fuse and fixed it. And my heat came back on.

I had a stoppage so the toilets would sometimes get clogged and then, it would slowly go down. We called American Home Shield and they sent somebody out. There was no urgency from AHS so I had to go to my clubhouse to use the bathrooms. It gets done when it gets done. When the plumbing company came out, the guy did an unclogging or a snake method. Everything went down so we thought it was fine. But then, the problem came back a couple of weeks later so we had to call them back and it took another week to get back here. They did the same thing and they didn’t do much more. Then, it happened again. So they came a third time and they did the same thing. I said that there’s gotta be something else going on here. So, they said that they were gonna have to come back and have an actual camera that could go down there and see what’s going on. So, I said okay. That made sense.
A day or two later, I got a text message from American Home Shield saying they were glad I called and they hope my experience was great. We were not done here so I called them and they said they closed the claim out. The contractor said that I must have a pipe that collapsed and AHS doesn’t cover that. So, they were done. I said that we don’t know that because there was no camera diagnosis. Somebody needs to go down there and see what’s going on. They can’t guess and also, nobody told me that the claim was closed. I called again and I asked if we could get somebody else that could come and look at it and get a camera down here. They said that would be a second opinion and it would be another $75 deductible, in case it’s not the same thing.
Whatever it is, we need to find out what’s going on. So, they sent the contractor today. They got here but they don’t have a camera. I specifically said that we need a camera over here because we need to find out what’s going on. The contractor said they didn’t know. So now, the contractor’s gonna call the extended warranty back and try to get the camera approved. I’m waiting for somebody to call me to tell me what the next step is. It’s not totally done because there’s still a problem. We’re still trying to figure out how this is gonna go. So, it’s not a great experience. It’s terrible.
I’ve been with American Home Shield since I bought the house, which has been close to four years. I’ve only called them three other times and every time, it’s an issue. The last time was an appliance and it took forever to get somebody over here. Finally, when they did, you have to kinda go back and forth on what was covered. I had to talk to the supervisor because whoever I was talking to didn’t have it straight. Finally, they covered it. It was something that should’ve been covered to begin with or should’ve been known that it was covered. So, it’s always challenging to get things handled. As soon as this plumbing thing is figured out, I'm gonna cancel immediately.
When I had the problem, I called the sales department to say that they told me it was covered. Even the sales department said that it is. They had to step in and help me to get the service department to understand that it is covered. So, even within their own organization, AHS doesn’t have it together. A lot of times, AHS is not worth it because there are so many things that your hands are tied. If it’s an urgent matter, they don’t care and you’re kinda limited to brands or specific things or what they will cover up to a certain amount. So, it’s limiting to where if you add up the premium of the home warranty over the amount of time, you end up at the same place. I only kept it because of plumbing and electrical, but I'm finding out that even big stuff like this won’t be covered. So, it’s not something that I recommend doing.
I apologize for the inconvenience as I can certainly understand your frustration. My name is Stacy and I've emailed you in an effort to assist with resolving your issue. I look forward to connecting with you.

I submitted a claim to have someone work on our furnace and then Redeemed contacted me almost immediately by phone and made an arrangement for them to come out. They came out the very next day. We’ve had them before. They were very professional and very good. We’ve had pretty good success so far with Home Shield. We’ve had them for four years. The furnace and the AC unit we got in this house when we bought it were old, but they keep bringing them back to life. So it’s been good.

I've been with American Home Shield for five years and there are many reasons why I like them. I like the dependability and the ease in getting services from them. If there is a problem, I don’t have to jump through hoops to get it fixed. It’s a phone call – one and done. In fact, I have recommended American Home Shield and this is why.
My husband was an electrician but he passed away two years ago and prior to that, his health was failing rapidly. I had no one to do things. When my husband was in good health, he would have done this and that. The security of the warranty service now is this. For the money I spend each month on the premiums of it, I have gotten more in service from American Home Shield than what I have paid, even with my service fee, as opposed to had I called a repairman to do it. I just don’t feel I can do without the warranty. This is what I tell my friends, especially those that are in the same situation as I am who has no one else to call except the local repairman.
Initially, I purchased American Home Shield because it came as part of a package deal to my son. It so happened that he needed services and when he called them, he got services from them. Had my son not called that day, at that time though, the policy would have expired the following day. But as it said in that commercial I was seeing on TV, the technicians were there the next day. This was like night and it was in the middle of the summer. It was hotter than Hades.
The technicians haven’t always been with me the next day and most of the time, they have to come and assess. But I understand that, and American Home Shield did do something for me, for which I will be eternally grateful. It was two days before Christmas and my oven died. I called and the young lady I had was foreign. It was somewhat difficult to hear and understand her. I had to keep asking her to repeat what she said and she had to keep repeating it for me to hear it and understand it. Call centers now basically are not staffed by fluent American English speakers which would be the only negative but I wouldn’t even deem it negative because when she gave me a time after Christmas and I told her I needed the oven, she called around and the techs came out here on Christmas eve morning and fixed my oven.
I wouldn’t deem it all that either though, because some times are worse than others. It’s like they hear me but they can't put it together. They're not understanding what I'm saying and that adds to my issue on speaking with someone who doesn't speak what I'm accustomed to hearing all my life, which is ideal. On a different note, I had Laha’s Appliance Repair come out and they are awesome. They are dependable, very knowledgeable and very professional. When they were first recommended, I didn’t have American Home Shield then and I was just trying to find a local electrician who was near me to come out. But I like to read reviews and theirs wasn’t that good. However, I had no choice when I called in a request for service and they were sent out. But now, if it’s an electrical or appliance issue, it would be my preference not to have anyone but them.

It did take a little bit longer than I would've hoped to get the contractor scheduled, to get the parts, and to get him to come back and fix them. But I trust the guy and he's really knowledgeable and honest. It was worth the wait. I was patient for it because I wanted him and he's really pretty busy. So overall, my experience with that contractor is good.
My experience with AHS has been positive too. AHS has a good service and I'm happy with it, but there are a lot of negative comments out there on social media regarding not covering certain things. Had I been a brand-new customer that was looking into it, I might not have done it based on what I see online. Everybody expects that some things are not gonna be covered and that's okay. But it seems like there were some comments on social media that they just didn't have an attitude of care to make sure that the homeowner got what they needed.
I'm a single mom and I don't have a husband at home to fix my stuff. I rely on paying my money every month and knowing that if something breaks, AHS is gonna fix it. 90% of the time, I need that to be effective instead of it being 50-50 that they're not gonna cover a claim. That makes a difference to me and that would keep my business. What they don't cover is kind of important to me as well, like my garage not opening. I would be happier if they covered more of the things that I need. I've had really good customer service but sometimes their English is a little bit hard for me. I don't know where the call centers are but you kind of expect that with call centers. It's always 50-50 if you're gonna get a person that English is their first language and they're gonna understand what you're saying and you don't have to explain it multiple times.

I’ve had a really good experience with American Home Shield. They always come and fix the issue, and if they can’t fix it the first time, they come back. I like the fact that the problem is always covered. Plus they give you 90 days or something like that and if I have a related issue, they always fix it. My claim with Texas Pool Guy was wonderful. They were very professional and they fixed the problem. I was having an issue with the pump because it wasn’t circulating and I called in. Filing the claim was pretty easy. When I have claims, I like to call in and speak to an actual person. For that pool claim, I did the machine but I also called about the electrician that same day and that time, I got a person.

I’ve been with American Home Shield since I moved here in 2018. Their service is quick. If they promise, they promise. They come out. Recently, a portion of the lights in the main room was out, like in the bathroom and the vanity. One of the electrical outlets was out, too. An electrician from Cutting Edge Technologies came and he’s polite and very patient. Everything has been working since the repair.

The tech came the very next day, which was pretty fast. He replaced a socket in my power box and now it’s working. He also replaced some of my fire alarms and now, it is no longer driving me crazy. He was very friendly and we discovered that he was a veteran so we have lots in common. When we bought the house in 2017, we took over from the old policyholder. At first, I was kinda disappointed because it takes forever, but every time I go online and request for repair, it was faster than calling in. So I don’t call in anymore. Also, I always check at the schedule of renewal, which is this week or next week, and I’m renewing it already.

American Home Shield was great, professional, and wonderful. I’ve had one experience with them and it was very good. One thing I like is when they said they were gonna have the contractor be there and follow up to see if they had shown up, they did everything they said so I was very impressed with that. It’s a nice and pleasant surprise to find out somebody has their crap together. I had a guy by the name of Ron from Douglas Mechanical. He came out to give me an estimate on one of my HVAC systems. He did a lot of stuff without any expectation in return about buying anything and whatnot. He was schooling me on the proper way to maintain my HVAC system and what to do with my vents. He did that for 45 of his own time and not expecting anything. I spent almost $10,000 with a new system through him and it worked.
We really appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience Robert. We look forward to handling your future AHS needs. Have an amazing week.
