American Home Shield Reviews

My parents told me that American Home Shield is worth having. So I got it some time last year. I thought I would use it if I needed it and true enough, I ended up needing it for my garage because I was kinda trapped in the house. The commercials are really funny but you really do feel like, “Oh god, I have to get a new garage,” or “Oh no, something happened.” So it feels good to kinda have a sense of security there, to know that it’s like a phone call and somebody will come out and look at it for you. The claims process was super easy too. I did it from my cell phone. I just went in and told them that I needed to service my garage. I paid the deductible and it was good to go.

There were a couple of problems with the dishwasher. The soap dispensing part was not functioning and then the upper tray was getting stuck. American Home Shield normally requires to wait for a day or two for things to happen, and I call them immediately after I had an issue, then I found out that Appliance Wizard was the company and they set me up within pretty much the next working day. I was not aware of it, so they came the day after that. Then three days later, they got the part. It couldn't have been easier and faster than that, especially when they didn't have the part. The guy was very nice. This is the second time he came. He came at the end of the day. He must've been tired where he worked and finished the job in no time. Overall, American Home Shield is great.

I had an issue with my oven. I went online and submitted a claim with AHS. At first, I was a little confused on how to set up the claim for the services on their website and I had to go through two different things before I could actually get to the part where I had to do the filling out of the information. They should have a more easier way to go into making the claim. Other than that, I was notified about the people who were gonna come out and they came quicker than I thought. They were also very professional and I really like them. I asked them if they do any other service and they said they do everything. I hope AHS sends out their company again because I don't like dealing with a lot of different people coming in to my home. So, if AHS doesn't send them next time, I’ll recommend that they just send the same company to me.

I usually submit my claims online with AHS. Their website could be a little bit better to maneuver and the basic logistics of the site should be improved. When putting in the actual problem, sometimes, it’s generalized. They have another tab there but sometimes, that’s not always clear on what problem you should click. That’s not always definite, especially with the plumbing. And when calling American Home Shield directly, it feels like I’m calling China. The ladies that answer the phone don’t know what I’m talking about and I never have any verbal resolve when I call them. It’s like they don’t speak English and they have no problem-solving skills. I just do everything online as best I can because if there’s any kind of issue, calling them is not the answer because they’re just gonna quote some policy to try to get me off the phone.

My claim about a plumbing issue is still open. The young man from NW Sundance Services who came to my door described what he was there for, and asked permission to come in the house and take a look at the plumbing that was an issue. I brought him in and he went right to work, looked at the plumbing issue, and immediately diagnosed it for a torn hose that runs from a water valve up through the faucet. He tried two different ways. He had one hose that he thought might work, which it didn’t. And then he said, “What I can do is to let this water that is leaking down into one place where you can put a basin to catch the water, but you’re gonna have to dump it as it fills up. I’ve written this up, I’ve ordered the hose. I don’t know how long it will take, but as soon as we get the replacement hose in, we’ll come out and put it in for you, and close out the issue.” So, that’s where I stand.

I've had American Home Shield for 15 years now. I'm a realtor and I've been using them, and I have good customer service with them, so I stuck with them. It's quick to get return and get stuff done with them. They're quick in assigning the people and they always call within 24 hours. And for the most part, the contractors are pretty good. But if I'm not getting good customer service and if I have my clients complain, I call AHS and let them know that their contractor is not good. Recently, I called in for my recirculator and they did a great job. It was nice, quick and easy.

The toilet was running and then it would stop and then it was running and it would stop. It was going all day and night. It was really annoying. I filed a claim online with AHS and the guy they sent was very nice. He came exactly when he said he was gonna come and solved the problem. He looked at it and said, "Oh, I know what the problem is." He replaced the innards of the toilet and it has worked fine since. I’m pleased with it.

We've been with American Home Shield for two years now since we've been here. My daughter had it in the past. She was the one that recommended it. We had a claim regarding our heater that when we would turn it on, it wouldn’t do anything. Then we turn it off and we turn it back on, and then it would kick on and it would just make the noise like it was doing something but it wasn’t doing anything. That would go on four times. And finally, it would kick in most of time, but it took several attempts to do it. And it was because the relay between the unit and box itself was bad, so they had to replace it. There were no difficulties submitting the claim. When I call, they get the $100 from me. It's a little steep. And then they call me back after a little bit to tell me who’s coming out. Two different companies came out when I had a problem with my air conditioner and heater, and I had no problem with either one.

Metropolitan came out for the heater that kept on going out. They were excellent people and did a super job. They came out twice. The first time was about 2 months ago. They cleaned up and did a whole something in it. But it continued doing it so I called them back. They came back and didn’t charge me. They replaced something and it worked.

RAK Heating & Air Conditioning went out a couple of days after I submitted the claim, which was pretty quick. The heater went out and they had to replace a coil. The heater is fine now.

The heater was malfunctioning and Metropolitan Heating and Air Conditioning came out to fix it. It worked fine for about a week, and then something mechanical started. It sounded like an airplane taking off and it was something banging on the casing of the heater. But it took them no more than 20 minutes to replace the part and they fixed it. They did fine, just too bad they had to come back out again.

I've been protected by AHS for two years now. Recently, we filed a claim because the dryer was not working, it was not heating. The contractors just switched the little heating switch and that's it. It's professional work but they could be better.

So basically you are paying $65-75 a month and then $100 call out fee to have your repair company come to your home. Service is great scheduling and taking your $100 up front. Anything on top of that they will not cover. We had a supposed gas leak at our house, and to diagnose the Plumbing company had to cut the line outside to test the pressure. Now AHS is saying that they won't cover that. We are also having to come "up to code" on a lot of items that we were not expecting to, all to fix a valve that came loose and "may" have been causing the gas smell. We also have a leak near our hot water heater and they are not paying to "remove" the hot water heater to look at the leak. We are now looking at $1000 in repairs out of pocket. Not happy at all. Would have been better off saving the money I pay in premiums to save away towards repairs such as this that I am now paying out of pocket anyways.

Horrible experience. The technician visited my house on 1/24/20 to inspect / fix my dryer. He wasn't experienced enough and could not identify the issue. What was strange was he suggested we "google" and find a contractor who could fix. It has now been 12+ days since he visited and until today (2/6/20) the contractor has not submitted the service report. At least that is what is being claimed by American Home Shield (AHS). I have been calling them every day over the last 8 days (every day) and every time they say they have escalated to the Vendor Relationship Management Team who are trying to resolve the problem.

I will never support this company again. I had the worse experience of my life with them. I filed a claim for my high tech washer to be repaired but they didn’t have a contractor qualified to repair it. I found out that with American Home Shield is all about the money not about satisfying the customer. They stole $81.19 from me but if it took that for me to get rid of them so be it. They sent me through eight different contractors to repair my washer (most of which were rated with a 1 star) but none was able to repair. So they told me they would set me up with a authorized contractor for my washer. I waited a few several days for this, only to find out they were sending me back to one of the eight I had previously.

I had a claim for a switch on the wall that was no longer controlling the ceiling fan properly. It went very well and the speed was the most amazing thing. I had barely pushed the button on the claim form and it was like 30 seconds passed when I got the call from Storm Electric. I was blown away. The guy came the next morning on time, assessed the problem, and fixed it within 20 minutes. He was very professional and fantastic. I've had coverage with American Home Shield on and off for seven years and I like that I don’t have to go searching for a contractor. I can put in the call and the contractor comes to me, and it’s backed-up. Every single incident has not run perfectly but in the end, there’s somebody between me and the contractor who can straighten things out when there’s a problem. So, we appreciate that.

We had a line break outside of our house, and the water was flooding. I had to shut the water off in the whole house and couldn't get it fixed. The plumber came out. He was out pretty fast and took care of it for me real quick. He just had to replace a small plastic pipe. We signed up with American Home Shield in November and it was our 2nd claim. They handled our claims very well and I had no complaints at all. Everything has been good and right on the moment. The contractors say they're gonna be here a certain day, they're here, and the repair is done quickly.

I've been American Home Shield's customer for nine years now, and I wouldn’t have continued with them for nine years if I wasn’t happy with the responsiveness and the technicians that they engage to provide service. They used IGD for me on a plumbing issue I had earlier in the year and they did such great work that I asked AHS if I can have IGD come out again for a separate issue. AHS agreed, and though I got different technicians, they did great work as I experienced with the first one. IGD is a great firm and I recommend them. Also, AHS does a good job and they are very supportive.

My son uses AHS on a house in Virginia and recommended it to me. This is the first time I’ve ever used a company like this and it has been very good for me. When I called at 9:00 for my refrigerator, the contractor was there by 10:00. Neither the refrigerator nor the freezer worked. The lights would come on, but that was it. He knew what he was doing. He got his multimeter out, checked different circuits and picked the one that was wrong right off. I’ve also had my heating and cooling unit done. So far, I’m very happy with AHS.

Having American Home Shield is beneficial especially if you're on a budget. I also like their process, in general, how to go about either online or calling and the expediency from when you engage to actually getting a request processed is pretty efficient. A month ago, my garbage disposal was not working and they sent their contractor out. The guy was professional and he fixed the garbage disposal on the same day.

I had trouble with the refrigerator two or three times. AHS had somebody come out and check the furnace. I also had somebody come out and clean the ductwork on the dryer. I called the claims in and AHS added it to my monthly billing through the checking account. They called me back and told me they contacted the company. The company called me back within 24 hours in reference to letting me know when the approximate time they'd be here. Everything's fine now. The AHS service was excellent so far. I’m very pleased and that’s the reason I’m renewing.

Our real estate agent recommended American Home Shield highly. We've had two claims in. One was the refrigerator. The ice maker wasn't working and water wasn't working. And the tech fixed that just fine. Then, we've had trouble with the washing machine. The appliances here are older, and water was coming out from underneath the washing machine. We live a condo, and the tech thought that when we have our washing machine going and they're doing upstairs, it puts too much pressure on the pipes. He was very informative and very nice and he got here on time. We're very pleased with AHS so far.

We submitted a claim online and Mister Plumber notified us that they would be out a day later. They made the repair and we haven’t had any issues since. They explained the issue to my mother and I’ll get additional details tomorrow when I get to the house.

The appliance went out and I called in to file a claim. I got ahold and called the contractor and told them what time I wanted them to be there. CA Wilson Company was sent and the first day they came to fix it, they didn't have the parts in their car. It took two more days for them to come back. That was the only issue. But they did a great job.

Myers Comfort Specialists of Birmingham came straight out that same morning that I called and replaced the fan on my AC unit that was bad. So, he had the part on the truck and everything went great. It all happened in less than four hours. They were real quick. I've been with American Home Shield for ten months and I had it before on my other house, too, for about a year. I've got another house I just purchased and I’ll probably gonna do another one on it. Everything went well and was easy-peasy.

I had an outlet that was not working, so I called and spoke with a live person in submitting the claim. I had some issues with the first company that was sent out, though. The guy came out in a regular car, with no uniform. There were also no clipboard and no paper. I told him the oven was not working and he used a tester in it. He then said that it was not working, that there is nothing he could do, and that I needed a electrician. I was like, "Okay, I paid you $75 for that?" I was not happy with how all that went about. The claims contractor helped, returned my calls, and corrected the issue. She said she was going to fix the issue, and then she called Stanford Electric, which was awesome. I couldn't use my oven, and the tech stayed until it was fixed. I have used American Home Shield twice this year already and I've been satisfied.

I just bought the house in August and it was part of the agreement with buying it that the owner purchased the warranty for a year. I've had to call Home Shield three times. One was the plumbing issue, another was the AC, and I needed a new hot water heater. It broke and flooded. Every time I called, they handled everything really quick. They would have somebody out there within a day. They had the contractors out there and fixed the issue in no time. When the AC wasn't blowing any air, Comfort First came out and the tech fixed it within 45 minutes. He knew the problem right away as soon as he got there. He checked a couple of things, and he went up and had it fixed in no time. I plan on buying the warranty again next year. I convinced my parents to buy it this year as well for their house.

There was a time when the pump for my pool cleaner went out and had to be replaced. I submitted a claim to AHS with whom I've had for 20 years now. With them, I just go online and tell them what's wrong. AHS's webpage works well. Usually, within an hour or two, I get an email. I then get contacted by a contractor who is gonna do that work and we arrange for them to come. This time, they sent Reflection Pools. While their contractors are sometimes busy and the contractor from Reflection Pools said they would be coming Monday when I called them Thursday, they said that if they could get to my place on the Friday before that Monday, they would. They got to my place on Friday and were able to fix it. The claim worked out well.

We bought the house brand new and everything in it was covered for a year. We've lived in the house since then and have had American Home Shield over all the 14 years now. And we've not had an instance where they refuse to do anything. I've had very few instances with them and it's been with the air conditioning and furnace rather than everything else because we live in Florida and the air conditioner runs a lot. We have two different thermostats in the house, one downstairs and one upstairs. Rick from Airpro Service Company and who has been here many times, found what the problem was in the latest claim and he repaired it then left.

The outflow to the dishwasher was clogged. There was no outflow and there was standing water. I contacted AHS and was informed that a guy would be coming up that day. Home Service came out and they were fast and efficient. The plumber took care of the issue and cleaned up after himself. He did a nice job fixing the problem. American Home Shield's service has been very easy to use and they are very responsive to my concerns.

Filing my claim for the washing machine was an easy process. The washing machine wasn't working and the contractor came three times, but couldn’t repair it. AHS should make sure the repair guys understand what they’re doing. We were without a washing machine for four weeks because they’ve been running around. Then when AHS sent another company out, that company said that the first guy shouldn’t have even tried to repair it. We were then given an allowance to get a new machine.

There was an issue with the refrigerator and my claim experience was good. It was processed on time. The tech from AH Appliances came, took the details, and then ordered the part. It came on time as he promised, and then he came and installed it. Everything went well. So far, it is working. If there is a problem, there is warranty. I've had American Home Shield for three years and I keep renewing because there were a couple of things that happened like this before and it was helpful. So, it pays itself back. The same part that they removed, if I were to do it, it would have costed me more money.

We were experiencing no electricity in the bedrooms and there was a bathroom fan that needed to be replaced. I went to the AHS website to file a claim. It was pretty good and it said to expect a contractor out in 24 hours or something business days. But it was a holiday and a weekend, so it took a couple of days before I was able to get ahold of them. The dispatcher was really good at trying to get the appointment set up. Everything has been great and the whole experience is a lot better. We were with another warranty company and they were getting worse and worse. So, I switched over to AHS and the experience had been totally different. They were very attentive and they kept in touch to let me know what was going on. I was really satisfied. I’ve been really happy with AHS and they're even better than they used to be. Having them is the best way to go.

We had a total of three different people who came out for the refrigerator but they were all very nice, professional and courteous. It was a Samsung refrigerator and when the first guy came out, he diagnosed it as the board. The digital screen was all screwed up. He couldn't read the numbers so, he had to order a part. A week later, another guy came out. He replaced the board and the sensors, and a day later, it did not solve the problem. So, that gentleman came back out a couple of days later. We cleaned up the back of the refrigerator because it had some fuzzies in it and I wanted to see how that would work. That did not solve it.

When I called American Shield to let them know that my air conditioner was only blowing cool air and that it wasn’t getting cold, the rep seemed to be more knowledgeable than I was about the refrigerant. I looked it up online to find out competitive pricing and she told me that they no longer used R-22, because it affects the ozone. They use something else in place of it. Then I was told that the contractor would get here between 12:00 and 4:00 and that he would call me. The contractor called me himself. He told me that he was running a little late and that he would call me as soon as he left where he was at. He also gave me an estimate on when he would arrive.

The hardest part of AHS's claims process is getting the window. The contractors give you a four-hour window and you kinda twiddle your thumbs and wait around for them to show up. They should narrow down the window a bit to a couple of hours or they should at least let you know how many stops are on the route so you can not waste all day waiting around. Also, AHS should make sure their vendors give a heads up a half-hour before or on the morning of the appointment. But AHS has been very responsive as far as scheduling the claims within the next day or two and the vendors have been able to complete the work, which is nice.

I called American Home Shield and they were really good. I do my claims online and I like the website, but sometimes, I like it better to talk person-to-person. We had two issues and I wanted to know if they are gonna charge me twice for it. My dishwasher was not working, and the hose that’s connected to it was leaking. But there’s no one to talk to when I call them. It’s a recording. So it’s pretty hard when you need to talk to someone.

I had a claim with American Home Shield for my garbage disposal, another one for my dishwasher, and another one for my ceiling lights. Mr. Fix It came for the dishwasher and it is working fine now. R&R worked on our garbage disposal and it is now working fine, too. And the guy from Winter Haven came out to work on my ceiling fan and light in my living room. He was great. He got my light to work but he had to order a part so that my ceiling fan would work. He would be getting in contact with me about that so I'm waiting to hear back on that.

I liked the ease of signing up with American Home Shield and I've been with them for nine months now. They did a really good job when I made a claim. It was easy and seamless. I just went on, applied, and they took care of it. I appreciated it. The scheduling with the contractor was a little complicated but the billing was straightforward. It wasn't bad. The contractors were professional and nice too.

The technician from J-Star Services was great. We’re in the midst of selling the house and he was called out to confirm that we did not need a new water heater nor have the water heater lines repaired. There was nothing wrong with them. He was very nice, very professional and on time. I also submitted a claim when our AC had stopped working, and it turned out it needed a new coil. And I was not happy with that service. They charged me $1,800 because my system was out of date. But yet, my system’s only seven years old. I heard from several people that have come out just in the process of selling the house not to go with AHS again in my new house because they’re notorious for denying claims. So, I won’t be using American Home Shield in the new home.

We would smell gas on the furnace so I called American Home Shield. I usually speak through the person and the reps were okay. They told me to expect the contractor out in 24 or 48 hours. Steinmetz HVAC was awesome. Since they have been out, we haven’t smelled the gas. I also have a claim in for my dryer. The contractor called and they came out, and then they said they ordered parts. But, I have not heard anything, So, it is just sitting there. It has been three weeks ago, and I need my dryer fixed. American Home Shield can be hit or miss depending on who you get. I would not recommend the company for the dryer to anybody. And I called and filed two complaints with you guys and you told me you wouldn’t send a new company out. The receptionist was so rude. She hang up on me three times and told me I could not talk to a manager.

We did two reports, one for a flickering light and one for a fan, and we submitted the claims online. It took a day for someone to reach out for the service, which was fast. 4H Electrical Services came out and took care of both things. They were great. I would have felt better about AHS if we had a better experience with the ice maker but they’ve been excellent overall.

Customer service reps at American Home Shield have been pretty good. They sent US Air Conditioning of Texas to check my AC system that was not working and was not sending a message to the outside system. The tech who came was able to look at it and tell me that the issue was just the thermostat. He was great and let me see what he was doing while explaining everything that he did. Things have been great since then.

Precision Appliance Repair came in two days, which was quick. The tech put a new heater in and did a nice job. I appreciate it. The microwave is working. I was very satisfied.

A friend of mine has AHS and has had luck with them. And we’ve had them for about a year and a half now. We’re using them in two locations. We have a place outside of Astoria, Oregon and we have a place here in Portland. We used them a couple of months ago for a furnace problem. They did a good job taking care of that and had somebody come out.

I go online and fill out their form to file claims and if I have any questions, I call them. I’m very comfortable with their website. But they need to give a shorter time span on when to expect the contractors and they need to fine-tune their times. Sometimes, you're told within 48 hours and it may be 96 hours. Also, they need to inform who is coming, not just that someone will be calling. The contractors have been fantastic and friendly. They go above and beyond getting things done and being honest and upfront. Working with American Home Shield is very easy. They have always come through and they have always been there. As a woman, you sometimes wonder who’s in your home and I have always felt safe with who they send out, which to me is very important.

I was with American Home Shield for about a year and then I dropped them. I came back to them approximately about four months ago for peace of mind. I’ve used them a couple of times in the past. People have always been punctual and it’s a decent company to do business with. The technicians have all been extremely nice individuals and willing to explain everything. There are always some upcharges as some of the repairs progressed but they made that clear upfront.

American Home Shield has improved a whole lot in the last year or so. It used to be real hard to get in touch with them but now their systems all seem to work a whole lot better. I was very impressed with the way everything was handled in my last claim. I haven't been in the past, so it was a nice surprise. I submitted my claim online and the process was very easy. They responded very quickly and Sears came out very quickly as well. The contractor got the problem fixed and it went perfect. American Home Shield should keep up the way they’re doing it now.

I was a little bit scared about getting a warranty but American Home Shield has been amazing. Their online claims system works for me. I filed one for my water heater that wasn't working. I did that towards the end of Friday and the process was super easy and fast. A contractor called me shortly after I submitted the claim. He kind of had me give him some information to get everything ready so that he didn’t have to make a couple of trips. It was also that day that he was able to stop by. He did an awesome job. The water heater wasn’t fixable so he ended up replacing it.

I was in New York and my wife was at home when she had a heating issue. She was freezing and called me. First, I filed the claim online, but because it was a Friday, I also called, just in case. Both my email and my call were answered. AHS found someone and got them out there within a couple of hours. The tech did the job fast. My wife was happy, so I’m happy.

Our Whirlpool refrigerator has a bottom freezer and ice was building up in the bottom of the freezer. Then, water was leaking onto the floor. I called AHS on a Friday to submit a claim and there were able to get somebody there the very next day. It was very easy and straightforward. The repair person who came out was from Sears and he was on time.

I put in the request for service at 4:30 in the morning and I got a call back around 8:30 saying that American Home Shield had someone in the area and if I was available at noon. It was probably the only time I would ever have a problem resolved in less than eight hours. Normally, when I've used American Home Shield, it takes a day or two or sometimes you need to order a part. This is what you see in advertisements and they say this is not your typical service but it's phenomenal. I did the claim online and I’m not the most computer savvy person but I was able to figure it out so it's gotta be fairly simple. I wish others were as simple to navigate as theirs.

When we first called in about our washing machine, it was making this noise that we knew something was wrong. The technician came out and said that the process was too long and there were too many different parts to swap out to figure it out. It seems to be working okay, but the noise was really loud. It got progressively worse, so the thing just completely quit. When the guy from Calvary Appliance Repair came out to check it, he tried to turn the drum and he knew immediately what was wrong and what had been going wrong. If he came out in the first place, we would've had resolution months ago. That was our biggest beef. But with this recent technician, we have no beef at all. He was perfect. That call went great.

When I was closing on my home that I purchased, American Home Shield was one of the home warranty options. I was reviewing them and I thought they had the most comprehensive packages so I went through them. When I was moving in and wanted to have my locks rekeyed, I contacted them and then they said that I could expect a call from my technician and gave me the contact. I got a call and we scheduled a convenient time. The contractor came and he was prompt and told me what was included. The rekeying package was four keys. So whatever it was, whatever I had seen information-wise that was listed, it was done. Also, the representative who took my call towards the evening was professional, courteous and prompt. So overall, it was positive.

I bought a new house and needed all the locks rekeyed. I went online and submitted a claim to American Home Shield. The website was really nice and very easy to use. Realty Rekey came out and they were very professional and with really good quality.

Sometime in December, my heating didn't work. I called American Home Shield and J-Tech Mechanical came out. They said the whole fault was because of the Nest that I have. They changed the thermostat and it was okay for some days. However, sometimes the heating wouldn't work all of a sudden and I was confused why. After looking at it for 17 days, I called them again. When the technician came back, he checked it and it worked perfectly fine. That was surprising to us too. We explained that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's on and off. Even when it's cold, we increase the temperature and it doesn't trigger on. The tech thought the sensor may be a problem, so he cleaned the sensor, put it back and said it should be fine.

I called American Home Shield to file a claim and dealt with a representative. I was pleased with the whole thing. She said I should hear within maybe 24 hours and then the technician from Tri-County Plumbing, LLC called me the next day. He came out and looked at the hot water heater then decided, yes, it needed to be replaced. The kid came out on a Monday to put the hot water heater in and it has been working very well. I was pleased with my experience. American Home Shield has worked out really well for us.

There was a time when my water bill had spiked and I was told that the problem was most likely something in my house and that I had to find a plumber. I decided to use my Home Shield coverage to save money and their contractor, Prime Plumbing Services was able to identify that I have a toilet with a leak. They fixed it right away and now, my water bill is back to normal.

The stove wouldn’t come on at the right temperature. It was very high. I had a guy from Sears look at it, and he said that I was holding this button too long. I turned it to the window that shows what the degree is from Fahrenheit to Centigrade. Then he held it and it came back on to Fahrenheit. He said not to hold that button too long. Everything went really well. He was very good, polite and efficient. He did a lot of cooking too so he knew what stoves would do.

The garage door was not opening and the technician said something was wrong with the switch. And even after he installed the new opener it didn’t work. But he came again and now the garage door is working. We had been using it for so many years. I’ve always given references of American Home Shield to anybody who has asked me. I don’t have any complaints with them.

Both American Home Shield and Bear Plumbing and Rooter were great. Bear Plumbing was fast and efficient. They called me within 24 hours from when I submitted the claim.

Hollywood-Crawford Door Co. came out for a garage door that wasn’t working. I used AHS' website to get the service and it was easy to use. It said that within 24 hours, someone would contact me, but it was immediately the next morning. It was very good with the contractors. And it's convenient with the door now repaired. AHS is a good company. I’ve had good communications with them so far.

We’ve been quite satisfied with American Home Shield. We’ve made different claims in the past and they have been really good about it. Also, the guy that came out for our electrical issue did a great job. It took him a while to find it, but he did find it and he fixed it. The people who originally built and wired the house didn’t do the greatest of jobs, because they’ve got most of the plugs out in the family room, and then the electrical plugs in the living room and dining room area all in the same breaker. One of the plugs in my living room worked but none of the lights worked. It was crazy. But the guy was persistent and he got it.

Everything went well with my plumbing claim, but my daughter mentioned that the sink was still kinda stopped up.

American Home Shield sent Jones Family Appliance Repair for the fridge that was icing over and collecting ice in the crisper shelf. They did something. It helped and they were excellent, but the water's coming back. I'm gonna have to have them come back out. But they fixed it with what they thought was wrong and what they commonly see wrong with Samsung refrigerators, and it definitely improved it, but it didn't completely correct it. Still, Jones was great. I was very pleased with American Home Shield, and I plan to continue my membership with them. It's a good service. I'm glad I got it. I have older HVAC so it's definitely a good thing to have.

The microwave wasn’t heating and the guy replaced the magnetron and that worked. He was very responsible and professional. I have another service report coming in and the contractor is visiting Monday to look at some plumbing issues.

There were issues with the toilet plumbing. I filed a claim through the website, which was really user-friendly. I love the website. It was the weekend and there was a confirmation that somebody would be in touch shortly. But the contractors contacted me on a Monday, which I expected. It took them 72 hours to contact me. I wasn't home when they came. I asked our nanny specifically how they were, and she said that they were very nice and informative. She gave me a report back about what the issues were and said that they were pretty detailed. But I got the information I was looking for. Everything's been great now. There were no problems with either of the things that they serviced. It was a really easy experience and they were in and out very quickly.

My washing machine broke the week of Thanksgiving, 2019. After 3 weeks, finally got an answer that my washer could not be repaired and I opted to take the buy out. They told me the check was mailed on December 19, 2019. I never received a check, finally on January 23, 2020 (after many requests) they finally placed a research on the check. I was told it would be 48 to 72 hours before they could provide me with an update on the check status.

To begin with they had a service technician contractor who wouldn't return calls or texts. It has been three weeks and I still don't have a running dishwasher. When I gave up getting the tech to call me back, I called AHS, and their customer service is in Trinidad and Tobago, and English isn't their first language. Turns out that they cant get the right color control panel that matches my dishwasher, so they want to put on a different color. IF I don't like that, they want to "pay me" for the part and let me try to find one myself. It is a mess, and not a good service. If they cant get the correct part they should replace the dishwasher instead of sticking me with a patched together unattractive dishwasher. I will probably just end up buying a new dishwasher. Wish I had kept the $700 that I spent on this contract and I could spend it on the dishwasher. Buyer beware.

I have used this home warranty provider for multiple years. The last year their service has declined. The contractors provided are not quick to provide service calls. I have had 3 claims this year. Two are for the same repair that was not performed satisfactorily for a toilet that runs/leaks. The same toilet had a repair the previous year. Three service calls for the same issue falls short in providing service w/ satisfactory contractor efforts and skill. I also have a denied claim for an emergency repair required to allow my tenant to leave her garage, denied due to the repair being completed by a contractor they did not arrange, however the tenant did not have the luxury of waiting 24-48 hours for a service call, as she was trapped in the house with her car in the garage.

American Home Shield sent contractors from Peacher Plumbing & Backflow Services, and they were very cordial and very professional. They did a good job. I have a water heater and they had to put a drain pan under it so if it overflowed, it wouldn’t flow out. They put a pop-off valve in and they did it superbly. I’ve done claims with AHS for about 20 times already, and they're prompt and nice. They can’t improve with them being perfect.

I have 2 homes that were under warranty with AHS. I have cancelled both. The first time I went to use the service, I advised AHS that this was an emergency, water leakage from fridge and no freezer. Service team that was given my request did not even speak clear English nor were they concerned that I had an emergency. They told me it would be 24 hours before they could book my appointment. Appt was then booked for the next day, Tuesday, from 1-4pm when I called back to verify, it was changed to 1-5pm, BUt NO ONE showed up. I called again and we were told they would be there today, Wed. from 9-11 am. I cancelled my appointment because I can't wait for them to tell me they have to order a part and I have to wait another 5-7 days.

The furnace stopped working so I called AHS and one of their customer service representatives dispatched the company who told me that they were unable to fix it because it's very old. They recommended that it be replaced and they submitted a replacement paper to American Home Shield. It was authorized and my part was to pay for a permit for all the sales which related to the upgrade of the system. I didn’t know what exactly they meant if it was some kind of tubing or filter but they told me that my part of the payment was close to $2,800.

I had a problem with the heater. I called American Home Shield and they gave me the number of Action Repair Service. The service went pretty quickly, though there was one time when I didn't know if they got the message and I had to call them back. But for my heater claim, once I spoke to the contractor, they came. When the tech was here the first time, whatever the problem was seemed like it kind of didn't happen. The heater was working at the time that he came, but then it cut off again after a few months. They told me to call if anything should happen, so I did. Then they came right away and took care of it. They had to take the heater and see what the situation was. Then the tech came back with the part and put it in. After that, I haven't had any problems with the heater.

Anytime I would turn the heat on, it would blow out cold air. I was trying to get someone on the phone to kinda determine the problem a little bit quicker before I paid the balance for the claim for the contractor to come out, but I couldn’t ever get anyone on the phone, no matter what kind of number I pressed in the recorded line. But after I made the payment, I got the call and then Island Breeze was the one that called me to help determine the problem. The tech came and identified the problem very quickly. It was rewired incorrectly. But he fixed it really fast and was in and out within the hour.

When I bought the house, I knew that the water coming in through the line from the street to the house had a very high pressure on it, and it needed a pressure regulator installed on that for the home. The high pressure was causing some of the taps to break. I've had American Home Shield for almost 4 years now and it was the first time I've actually put in a claim. It was easy, I didn't have any problems, and Circuit Mechanical was sent out. They took 2 trips and they fixed the regulator. There was also a service where they could text and it was easy to use. When I had to have a second visit, they texted me to sign in on when I wanted it, and I kept on pushing it back since I had to be out for a week. American Home Shield is doing okay and they did everything they said they were going to do. They were upfront with everything and I’m satisfied with them.

When I went online, I noticed that Appliance Pros had some questionable reviews. But I also know how hard people can be in today’s society. When I called, Missy, the lady that scheduled the repair was nothing but professional with me. I explained to her the situation, that we didn’t have a refrigerator and that we were using like a cooler with ice packs to keep the food. She said that she would get us right in within the next 24 hours because of the urgency. Normally she couldn’t get us in for about four days.

I had a smell in the basement and the handle was not working well on my shower. I submitted a claim over the phone with AHS and they assigned Bud Plumbing to service me. Within a few days, there were two gentlemen that came out and they were great. However, it'd be nice if they would respond faster when it's urgent. Other than that, everything is completely fixed now. The smell is still there though and I think it’s something else. But the techs fixed the things that I directly required them to fix and they even showed me what they were doing, which I appreciated. Besides that, whenever I had a claim, American Home Shield's reps did well for the majority of the time though once in a while, I’ve had some bad ones. Still, the value that I’ve gotten out of the warranty has been amazing.

I've been with American Home Shield for at least 10 years, on and off. It's a convenient service, one-stop shopping to call to get your maintenance done or your issues resolved. I would like some of the coverage to be a little more comprehensive, but other than that, the process works pretty good. I also had a positive experience with their contractor, Mr. Appliance. They called me quickly after I submitted my request. They were on time when they said they were gonna be there, and they provided good service.

When I came to Atlanta in 2007, I picked AHS' warranty up again after having used them a long time ago in New Orleans. There was a time when my unit was making a humming noise when it would come on and again when it goes off. I was concerned about it and I called in a claim to American Home Shield. They sent Therma Tech Heating and Air Conditioning to do service and the tech who came was very pleasant. He was understanding and sat down everything for me. I was pleased with his service.

AHS has done what they've said they were gonna do. Every time that I’ve called, they've had somebody come out and try to repair whatever I asked them to. They’re doing a pretty good job of getting people, but some of the people that come out, are not as experienced as they should be with fixing the problem. The Herley company's tech had to come out more than once. He told me to turn my refrigerator off for 36 hours. We did that and had to take all our food out.

American Home Shield's claims process can be nerve-racking but it depends on the rep I get and who they’re gonna send out. So far, the contractors that they've sent have been okay. For 15 years that I've been with them, I've only had one or two bad contractors. Throughout the years, it has been comforting knowing that they’re there if I need them. I just wish they have a bit wider selection of vendors to use and faster turnaround sometimes.

Cutting Edge Total Comfort came out and everything went fine. They got me back up and the heat going. The contractor was very knowledgeable and then he took his time and explained what he found wrong and what he did to repair it. He was also patient enough to answer any questions that I had.

I had a good experience with the contractor AHS sent for my claim from Lafayette Refrigeration. We communicated days before on what I needed to do and the person I talked to was really good. The tech who came was very knowledgeable and currently, my unit is still working. I've been with AHS for a couple of years now and I'm very happy with this last claim I had with them.

Our freezer was not freezing correctly and everything had started to thaw. I put in the request like five in the morning online, and before noon, the tech was at the house. He fixed it before 1:00 and everything was refrozen and working. They were able to get ahold of my wife to get in the house and get it fixed. He was very professional and very nice. He was very informative. I’m very happy with the expedience of service as well as the repair. The freezer has been working perfect since.

I got outstanding service from After Hours. The owner, Doug, was on site. I have two hot water heaters, and my hot water heaters are next to each other, so it’s a little bit more of a complex setup. He was out on site and diagnosed the first problem. One of the flow meters on it was broken, so that was replaced. And then, after that, there was also another issue that they had to diagnose and come back out on. There were no problems. They just had to order some parts. And service was great. I’ve had a lot come by my house. I always look for people that treat my house like their own, and Doug and his team did. They were always respectful. I trusted them, and they resolved it, so it was very good.

We’ve had a number of issues over the years but most recently, I called and put in a request for service. Home Shield sent somebody from Third Generation Plumbing & Mechanical out. The person told me that I had to buy a part and then call them back. I bought the part and called the company back. Then I was told that the earliest return service day they could give me was four days later. I called Home Shield and complained about it. They put you on hold for 15 or 20 minutes and hope you’ll hang up and give up. But when they finally come back, they just tell you, “Too bad.” This is the best they can do. Their communication and customer service are all terrible. I told them that they’re gonna finish this service and I’m gonna cancel the program.

I have had American Home Shield for many years and I've been very happy with them. I've had to have put up a stink sometimes and say something is not right. But I would have somebody else come out, look at it and verify it, and I haven't had any problems. The first contractor who came for the refrigerator wasn't qualified to put the death sentence on the refrigerator so AHS had to call Sears. Sears verified that the refrigerator was too old and too far gone and that the Freon was not able to be put into it because it was so old, they don't allow it anymore in that one. They were also very pleasant and nice.

I filed a claim online for the pump in the sump pump that had stopped working and there was water in the basement. Every time I have to open a work order, I do it online. It’s fast. It’s unbelievable. It immediately tells me who the contractor’s gonna be and that they’re gonna contact me within a certain amount of time. Just two days before my pump claim, the furnace had stopped working. It was 6:30 in the morning and 62 degrees in our house. I set up a work order at 6:30 in the morning, and by 9:30, I had heat.

I had a previous provider and I had a problem with a claim. I found them not to be as actively interested in resolving it as I thought they could be. My brother was with American Home Shield, and my parents had also previously in their house had been with American Home Shield. I figured thus AHS was worth a try. One concern that I have is like when the electric guy was out, there was an issue on whether he should replace the entire fixture, which he said was broken but usable, as opposed to just the ballast. He said the connectors at the end were cracked and would fail at some point, but he said he could only, at the time, replace the ballast, then I’d have to call back when the actual fixture failed. If contractors had a little bit more flexibility or leeways to be proactive in avoiding a future claim that might be helpful. But otherwise, everything is fine.

We've had American Home Shield for about four years now and it has been helpful for us. Recently, we submitted a claim for our washing machine as it wasn’t draining, and we were told that the contractor was to come out within a couple of days. The technician from Austin Appliance looked at the device and said it’s broken, so we needed a replacement. They were great.

Some outlets weren't working as well as the overhead light in the kitchen and I called American Home Shield. The rep said that the contractor would be contacting me within 24 hours, which they did a few hours later. The technician was great. He came in, fixed everything and explained it. Since then, everything has been working perfectly. AHS has always been good and it’s easy to use. It's not a problem at all.

AHS has been doing a good job for me. After AHS takes my payment for a claim, within a day or two, I have their contractor coming to my house. I've been with them for about five years now and they have good people in the field. Their plumbers are very good. They sent Westside Air Conditioning to handle my claim and the workmen from there are friendly and well-trained. They get the job done quickly. The same can be said for Reliable Plumbing.

Done Rite Appliance Repair came out to fix the ice dispenser in the freezer. The tech needed to order a part and he came out another time a week later and put in the new part. It's all fixed now.

I called AHS when my AC was giving no cold air. I told them what was going on and they sent somebody out. I got an email saying that the contractor was coming. It also asked what was the appropriate time that I could be here. I responded to that and was told to expect the contractor between 12:00 and 4:00. It was the second time that somebody came out to do my AC and I was satisfied with the work. I would recommend AHS.

I feel very good about them in the last six months. My initial experience was extremely difficult. It took forever to resolve an issue. But since then, I’ve had a few interactions and they’ve been excellent. So things have improved dramatically. Last month, we had an adjustment to the water heater. The tech was very professional. Everything is fine now.

I considered American Home Shield as a warranty so if in the event that something went wrong in my house, they would come out and fix it. I’ve been with them since 2011 up until now, so that’s a long time as far as paying each month. And over the years, when I had to call them to come out, I was always satisfied except for one time and that was last year when my hot water heater went out. In fact, after that, I was thinking about dropping American Home Shield because I really felt that with all that I paid into the warranty for every year and for the number of times that I used it, they kinda fell through the cracks because of the mere fact that they didn’t want to cover the repair of my water heater.

There was water that was spraying inside the pump housing area on my Whirlpool. Home Shield was right on it and sent me a text. They said they contacted someone and I should be getting a phone call, which I did seven hours later. Steven A. Mills Plumbing came out and the tech assessed the situation and found out what was the matter. They ordered the part and came three days later and replaced it. Everything works great and back on the way it was. Home Shield is a peace of mind. I don't have to worry about if something breaks and I don't have to worry about trying to come up with the money. I looked online how much one of those pumps were and they were like almost $400. And I paid $85 and that was it. It's easier to come up with $85 than it is 400.

Submitting a claim is quick and easy and Air Pro did a very good job on the AC claim. They let me know who the tech was and I had a picture of him so I knew what to look for whenever he arrived. That was nice. They were very quick and efficient and the guy was wonderful. I'll continue it when it's time to re-up because I had a good experience.

We only used American Home Shield once or twice, and there was a quick response with the workers. The refrigerator in my garage stopped working. I went online and made a claim which was very easy to do. American Home Shield said that within 24 hours, I would get a call. But I then got an email saying that Savvy Tech would be out between certain times. Those guys were excellent. The motherboard of my refrigerator had gone out and luckily for us, they were able to find one in stock close by that same day. Otherwise, we would have to try everything else. Our fridge is like a new one now. It was a great experience.

The heat thermostat was up and no matter what I did, I couldn’t turn it down. The contractor came out in less than 24 hours after I called American Home Shield. He came, went straight to work and put in a regulator. He was very good, professional and explained things to me. AHS has been helpful to me and they always get down to business when I call them.

When the water heater sprung a leak and dumped all its 40 gallons of water on my basement floor, submitting the claim for it was extremely easy. I went online and did it in a couple of minutes. I have tried calling a claim in, but it was a whole lot easier to do it online. I've been with AHS since 2012 and got it before I retired to help manage my large expenses. For the most part, their contractors are really good. They send out whoever they send and you don't have a choice, but I have not had any problem with any of them.

American Home Shield's online claims process was user-friendly. When I submitted a claim for a leak that was coming from my washer, there was a notification that said that someone will be contacting me within a window. And if I hadn’t heard from them, that I should call. Greenway Home Services came out twice for it. The young man that came was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable. Before he came in, he put those little foot things on and did a thorough look-through. He replaced two parts that I know of that was damaged. Years ago I had AHS, but then I moved. It was in an apartment and I didn’t have a need to have a home warranty at the time. In 2016, I moved into a home and I knew to get it. But I have been shopping around.

The refrigerator was conking. I called the number that I googled and said to the rep what was wrong with it. They said that they would have Maughanster give me a call and let me know when it would be. It took a couple of days for Maughanster to come out. They fixed the problem and the guy was nice. Everything was exactly how it should be.

The first couple of experiences with American Home Shield weren’t so good. I was without a refrigerator three months before they finally got it resolved. They kept sending out the same part to be replaced, and then two days later, the part would go out again. So, it wasn’t the part. It was the refrigerator. And finally, they replaced it. I live in Pearland and it takes a while to even get an appointment to get somebody. Except for the garage door repair, which happened the very next day, so that went well. American Home Shield's claims process was great. As a matter of fact, I did recommend them to my nephew. I told him that it was a great deal and good service.

I reported a plumbing issue to American Home Shield. A previous company replaced the spout that goes to the bathtub and after he did that, he checked everything. We found out it's leaking so I called back the same plumbing company. They said I had to make another order so I called my home insurance company. They said they would send someone for a second opinion and they would take care of it 'cause I was still under warranty for the first repair.

Submitting a claim online through AHS' website went fine. Their contractor, RG Plumbing & Rooter, did two of my toilets. I couldn't flush one as the flushing system was messed up. The other was leaking. The techs did well and everything has been working fine since then. Overall, I've been very satisfied with AHS. It's a good company.

We just bought a house, and the air conditioner in the attic wouldn’t shut off. It was continuously running. So, I had my wife get ahold of American Home Shield and see if we could get somebody out there to fix it. We’re brand-new homeowners so everything’s a new experience to us and right now, everything’s real good.

My kitchen light wasn’t coming on when I turned it on. I had two separate switches and one of them wasn’t working. And Wester came out. The guy was very quick and he told me everything that was going on. It was a good experience. So far, I have been very pleased with American Home Shield, and it’s not super expensive.

AHS seems like they just randomly look for one in the area. There should have an option for the vendors to see if you have a better option of a better rating of the people that they’re sending out. With the last people they sent out for me, I had to sit on hold for almost 15 minutes to get a customer service person or they'd tell me to go to their website and do the claim and that they were to e-mail me back. Then I never got an e-mail back. It was an inconvenience. Other than that, AHS has been pretty good. I've had them for four years and everyone that has come out has been fine. The guy from Accord Appliance was very pleasant. When he came out, he needed to order a piece and I gotta do a recall on it.

I chose American Home Shield after I looked through their ratings. I used the app to submit a claim and it went right through. I had an issue with my control panel and Prodigy Appliance Repair came out. The guy called me and he was very professional and quick. He didn't take more than 30 minutes to fix. I have no complaints and it was a wonderful. I also recommended the guy to somebody that another home warranty place had been jacking around, and he actually went out and took care of their problem. So, AHS has somebody that’s got their best interest in mind. We recommend them really well too.

My heating claim started out a little shaky because I wasn’t confident that I was gonna get somebody out right away. When I first called, the person that took the claim said that they'd have someone contact me on the first business day. That would have been a Monday, which it’d meant that my heat pump wouldn't be working for the entire weekend during the winter. That was kinda unacceptable and so I told him to withdraw my claim and I'd make a call to see if I could get somebody out right away. I made a call and I only left a message and I was then convinced that I didn’t know if anybody would be able to get out here.

We had submitted a claim to AHS for different plumbing issues. The hot/cold in the sink, when you turned it back, it wouldn’t open. They fixed that and some toilets, the one with the flapper. And then they fixed another one that was loose as well. The plumber was really good. He had to buy the part, and then he came back. So far, I like AHS. You gotta wait a couple of days, but other than that, it’s pretty good.

My kitchen sink's faucet was broken. It was leaking at the base and the pull-down sprayer wasn't working. I submitted a claim to AHS on a holiday and they then sent Sirius Plumbing and Air Conditioning. The plumber came four or five days later on the day that I wanted him to come. He was really nice and he fixed both my issues the same day. Things are working okay since then. I've been with AHS for over 25 years at two different addresses and I'm really pleased with them.

My husband submitted a claim for the washing machine. I put the clothes and came back about four hours later, and they were still washing. So the issue had to do with the timer. Someone came out fairly quickly and my husband told the contractor what the problem was. They looked at it, but they didn't bring the part with them, so they came back that day with the part.

We had a claim in December and Brick Works came out. I would never wanna use them again. They look like they're a huge company, but in actuality, they're working out of their own truck or a truck supplied by this company. But their home office is in Charleston, West Virginia. What happens is AHS calls the main number, and then Brick Works calls a person that supposedly works for them on the cellphone. Then they dispatch the person to whatever the address is. They also took advantage of me. I had a backup of my sewer pipe and water was coming into the house. They couldn't fix the problem. Then we deduced that it was outside the house, which was not AHS's responsibility.

The repair guy came over. He was absolutely professional and walked us through some of the characteristics of our system and told us why we were hearing the sound that we were hearing. He was fantastic. But at the end of the day, there was nothing wrong with it. My wife and I misjudged it. He even stayed for a while to allow the appliance to cycle through to make sure it was okay. And then he said, “Look, just submit another work order if something’s wrong, but there’s nothing wrong.” I also had an electrical claim, which was the first claim, and that guy was absolutely incredible as well. He came by and said, “Sir, you just need to hit this little button on your outlet.” It was one of those circuit breaker outlets.

I told American Home Shield that I was having a problem with my dishwasher and they told me that they would set up the appointment. I wasn’t sure and looked up Amtec online. They had a lot of bad reports against them and I was kinda concerned, but AHS told me they would make sure that one of Amtec's top mechanics come out.

I've had American Home Shield for a year and a half now. I had it with my previous residence as well. I appreciate their service and it's a nice peace of mind. Recently, I placed the claim on my garbage disposal online and paid the co-pay online. Clog Father called me and they showed up. They had a unit in their truck and they were able to take care of it right then. The only thing that was not fantastic was that about a few months ago I had somebody out for the same issue. So, it was kinda irritating to have to pay a co-pay a second time for the same issue. But this claim went very smoothly.

A technician came out for a heating claim and did his job. He was talkative and informative. He knew what he was doing and he was professional. We’re happy with the work he did. The furnace is working perfectly now. I paid my deductible. American Home Shield is the least expensive and it’s the most highly regarded with the appliance people here in this area.

It’s usually pretty simple to open a ticket with AHS, and the contractors that we’ve worked with had been responsive. But their contract management needs to improve. I had to purchase a new contract and it wasn’t renewed. Then, it was kind of a hassle to purchase a new contract and reconnect through the phone with their customer service. If you have to call, you have to end up on hold for quite some time. It’s a lot easier to work with them on the web and their website as well as the app, are good. I also like all the web-based interface and the fact that they track it when the person is arriving. But I had a billing issue a few years ago and it was difficult then to get the contracts reconnected online. It wasn’t as easy as it could’ve been. So, I had to have a few contract numbers for a while, then they had to kill one.

AHS is a very nice company to do business with. I pay a fee and then I also have a fee when the person comes, but at least they know who to send, instead of me trying to find someone. So far, they have sent very capable people for different things. When the faucets in the master bathroom went out, Williams did an excellent job. He was very capable. He knew what to do and did it. He also quickly took care of the job and I was very pleased with his work.

I have two warranties. One on a townhouse and one on a condo. And the townhouse, it has been over a year. I renewed it. It's easier for me to submit claims over the phone. We had plumbers out to the townhouse a couple of times. They were excellent. But the electrical at the condo, not so much. We had things going off, and the tech said the microwave was too powerful for what our electrical was. So, I went and got a smaller one but it was still happening.

I had an electrical claim with AHS where they sent out Certified Electrical Technologies. Everything was done and the technician was very professional when he came in. He fixed the outlet in the kitchen, in the dining room, and in the master’s bedroom. He explained what happened with the system and he changed some parts, but everything was very good. Other than that, in one claim that I put about one year ago when my appliances had a problem in my kitchen, the contractors didn’t have a part when they came to fix it. They were supposed to order that part, but they never came back. And I was waiting for their call to make an appointment again and come back to fix it, but they never called. When I called American Home Shield, they said that the case was closed because I didn’t call. I told them that I was waiting because the technician said he would order the part, but AHS said they couldn't do anything to open the claim.

I have been a member for 3 years. I have made several service calls. I am ok with paying the agreed $75 but there are so many loopholes that cause extra cost for the customer. For example, I had a leak in the ceiling, the plumber came out (1st out of 3) and could not fix it ($75 gone). I called AHS and they sent a 2nd plumber for free (yay!). The 2nd plumber could not fix it. The 2nd plumber said that AHS does not cover cutting holes in the ceiling and if I want them to take a look they will charge me $200 (I think it was $178 or something like that). So I paid it because I need to have this problem fixed but even after cutting the holes, nope they could not find the problem. I called AHS to cancel my contract since it was just costing me more and more money and they offered to send a 3rd plumber.

Absolutely positively under no circumstances would I recommend an AHS home warranty. My client has water leaks and there was NO ONE that responded to the client's concerns. First, there was a water leak at the entry point of the water lines going into the house. AHS didn't cover that leak because it was not 'INSIDE' the dwellings. Then leaks were noticed under the house. We started asking how much if any of the repairs would be included under warranty in MAY, MAY 2019. To date, we have not had any definitive answer as to whether water leaks in the galvanized pipes under the house are covered or not covered.

Heat went out when it was about 20 degrees outside. Put online request for service on New Year's eve. Had to pay $125 before they would proceed with claim. Called early on new years day. Service company AHS put on the service call wouldn't come out until 1/2. Ran out and bought backup heaters so the family and house wouldn't freeze. Tech came out on 1/2, informed us 2 things wrong with heat system. Long story short, after dozens of calls with AHS, English as a second language folks, two different service companies, 23 days and $625 (on top of yearly cost) later our repairs were completed. Oh and they want to try and charge me another $125 since their service company couldn't complete both repairs, which I'm disputing. Saved us some money. Highly recommend you have back up heat to get you through. Don't count on this company for quick turnaround on repairs.

I have been going back and forth with them is February 2018 regarding my machine not draining the water out of the washer properly. I have sent videos and pictures. I have had 4 different technicians come out. They have changed the bowl, motor, dog ears, the ring grip for the washer to spin and still I am having the same problem. Now we are in year 2020 and they want to send out the fifth technician!!!! American Home Warranty here I come!!!!

US Air came to our home on January 31st. Now, they came days before that to repair our unit because the tech had to put a panel in, and then he had to do something to the unit itself. And I thought it was repaired correctly. Later that night, I heard a loud pop. My bedroom was right next to the unit, and I ran, and I came out of my bedroom. I looked around and investigated. It sounded like something fell in the house, and I didn’t see anything. So, I went back to bed. The next morning, my brother left because he lives in Oklahoma City. So, he left. And I didn’t feel right. My mom also told me her eyes and nose were burning. We were sluggish. I said, “Mom, I just feel like I just wanna go back to sleep. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” And she said, “Baby, I’m sleepy too.”

When the high limit switch on the furnace wasn't working properly, we called Atlas Heating & Cooling, a local company, to come out and service the furnace. The contractor changed the high limit switch and so we had heat. We paid the fee and then called American Home Shield. Because the heat was out when I came home from work the day before and I knew I had AHS, I thought it was okay to call a local company to come out. Unfortunately, when I called to submit the claim, they said, "This is not how it works."

I’m satisfied with American Home Shield as my home warranty provider. I called them for a claim and I had good customer service. AirMax Heating and Cooling came out the next day and they check my heating unit. My interaction with the guy from that company was real good.

When the furnace wasn’t working, the contractor came out the morning after I got ahold of AHS. I called on a Thursday and a couple of guys came out Friday morning and fixed it. I’ve owned a home for a long time. There are a lot of expenses and a lot of things that go with owning a home. Especially for somebody that never owned a home or somebody that’s young, it’s really a good deal to make sure you have a little insurance on some of the big items that can go bad. You got a lot of money invested and you’re paying a lot of money every month. And when you have a problem, a home warranty helps out quite a bit. I've had AHS for a year and a half and they've done an excellent job.

I used to have American Home Shield and I had a super bad experience with them, so I quit for several years. And then, I decided to go ahead and get back on because I heard that there was improvement. So, they have improved from the time before when I was on. Submitting claims used to be that you would get on there and wait hours and hours on the phone, but FBR Company came right out immediately and assessed the situation, and then promptly got it taken care of. Everything went very well with my heating claim.

It was one of coldest times in Jacksonville and the heater outside was making a loud sound as I had the heat on, so I had to turn it off and called to file a claim. The live representative was very helpful because when I was talking to him. I went out and turned on the heater, so he could hear what was going on. He helped assess the problem. I was told to expect the contractor within 24 hours. The contractor from Beaches Air Conditioning and Heating came out on a Saturday and said that it was the fan and that they would have to order the part. Then they came back on Monday and changed it. Everything was good this time. It was quick and efficient.

When a couple of switches in the door vent or the keypad panel were shot, I talked to a live person from AHS. Sears then came out and was able to fix the issue. We've had AHS for about 30 years and don't like that the prices keep going up, but overall they are good.

For the most part, American Home Shield is pretty quick. Also, anytime I've needed something replaced, it's always been done. When I had a heating claim, the contractor was nice and he fixed the problem quickly.

Turner Electrical & Lighting came out and it went great. The tech was on time, did the job and got it done. When the AHS rep gave me the name of the company, I freaked out because I thought they were way up north from me. I was like, “How is he gonna get here?” But then, she explained it to me, so everything was great. I went with American Home Shield because one of the ladies I work with suggested them to me.

My friend, who’s also my boss, got American Home Shield. And so, I thought, “I’ll check that out too.” And I was very satisfied with that decision. Their claims process was good although it took a little longer to get them out than I would have liked. Even though it was just an unclogging a sink issue, it took a week and a half. I wish it could’ve been sooner. It was just to unclog a sink, so it was okay, and my tenants were perfectly fine. But if it was something else that was more pressing, we could not have waited this long. The guy from Greenway Home Services who came out was great. He fixed the issue and he was wonderful. I was very pleased.

We thought we had a water leak one time. My son said he saw water coming down the wall downstairs, so we panicked. AHS sent J-Star Services, Inc. to service the request but then as it was, my granddaughter had overfilled the bathtub and hater had leaked behind the stopper at the top at the overflow. It had run past the overflow there but then there was nothing really wrong. The tub needed some caulk behind the overflow valve but then the plumber who was sent said he didn't do that.

We submitted a claim to AHS for our AC unit to American Home Shield and everything was perfect. United Air Temp Air Conditioning & Heating came to do service and the tech from there was very good. When he came, I was picking up the kids from school and he waited an extra five minutes. That was nice. However, I wish I could know before they get to my place. Before, the contractor would call saying their technician would be at my place in half an hour or saying that the tech was on his way. Still, with everything that I asked him, he was right there. He didn't have to tell me what was wrong. I was always asking him questions and he was always telling me everything.

The guy came out and was in a rush, big time. The problem was that the light fixture wasn’t working, but he wasn’t even ready to touch that. He just checked the switch and said that it was fine, that he didn't care, and that he was not authorized to touch the light fixture. He also said that he didn't have time and had to go. He wouldn’t do anything. I argued with him and told him to have a look at the light fixture. After 20 minutes of arguing, he touched it and found the shorted wires. He just unfolded it and it worked. It was a small thing and I could have done it myself, but I thought, “Let me not touch the electric stuff.” I also had another claim before and it went okay.

The ceiling fan stopped working and I went online, filled out the form and paid the $100 fee. American Home Shield contacted me the next day to tell me who would be coming out. Then SJDI Electric contacted me and set up an appointment. They came out at the time they said and the guy fixed it in about 30 minutes. It was a capacitor inside the fan that had gone bad. It took him about 30 to 45 minutes to fix it and that was it. He’s very professional and the ceiling fan is working fine. Everything went well and they had a 60-day warranty. If anything went wrong or it stopped working within 60 days, they’d come back out to repair it and it wouldn’t be another service call. This is my second year with Home Shield and they always come through.

The primary pool pump failed. It threw a bearing and it just flat out failed. American Home Shield sent Master Pools by Atlantis and they had to order a replacement pump. It took two days to get the job done. They came out on the weekend and checked it, and went ahead and called American Home Shield to get it going Monday. Every interaction I’ve had has been successful. I’ve been happy with the service provider, the time limits and the resolutions. They’ve done a great job. This is the second time I’ve had this contractor at the house and they were great. I had them out last year through American Home Shield as well. I’m gonna start using them for some regular maintenance on my pool.

One contractor recently had a problem with my washer and dryer, and another contractor came out. The first one AHS sent out didn't seem to fool with it. He said I need a new washer dryer. AHS sent another contractor out and he fixed it right away. AHS evidently didn't know that it was fixed 'cause they called me and said that they were gonna give me a new washer dryer, but I didn't need it then. I told them it's fixed. I've had AHS for around 4 years now. It took a long time for them to answer the phone, but now, they've improved on that. I'm also not on hold that long and their reps are nice.

All Valley Appliance & Heating was great and their rep was very good. The technician came out the first time and he evaluated the situation and needed a part. He ordered the part and they were pretty prompt with it. They called to schedule a follow-up appointment and fixed it. Everything works great now. I've signed up for AHS and have been with them for four months. The process of submitting a claim was pretty simple. I'm a little older and not technically savvy. I was doing it online and it worked out fine for me. I was kinda surprised. I just referred AHS to my son and he might be getting in touch with them soon, too.

I was getting wet feet when I turn the garbage disposal on. I sent an email in the phone and the contractors came on a Saturday. I had prior commitments, so my husband was here with them. The contractors replaced the unit and they said the seal around the center was gone. There are no more wet feet now. Having AHS is the best decision we ever made. I’ve recommended it to my son and a neighbor, and they both have it.

Over six years that we've been with American Home Shield, I got four appliances that their contractors fixed plus my air conditioning. We've had a dryer fixed, a washing machine that couldn’t get fixed but they paid to replace it and we’ve also had work on a drawer in the refrigerator. The warranty on the air conditioning system saved me $1,000, but it still cost me $2600. It’s very difficult to figure out exactly what is covered and what is not. My only suggestion on the air conditioning would be to help the consumer on extra charges that their vendors do because they're stuck with whatever they say. They nickel-and-dime the consumers to get the money. So, when you look at the price of somebody coming in that you know versus your warranty, it saves you money.

My water heater was leaking so they sent out a guy from R. Prescott. The first time that the guy came out, he thought it was just tightening up a nut. But that didn't fix the problem so the next day, they sent someone else out and had to replace the water heater because he saw that it was rusted out and needed to be replaced. So the problem solved in a relatively short period of time. R. Prescott had been out there a couple of times, so I prefer them. One time I asked American Home Shield if they could send the same crew and they did.

It was easy to submit claims for the most part. However, we deal a lot with the people who are overseas and the representative was very hard to understand. Whenever I kept telling her that I didn't know about heaters, I could tell she was just reading from the script. Then she just kept on and on and then she started getting frustrated and just said to submit it as how she submitted it. She wanted me to say yes or no. Then the guy from West Texas Air was very nice and sweet. He called me within a couple of hours and he was able to work with my schedule as I only have weekends off. He was able to come over on a Saturday morning so that was really great. The flame sensor was out on my heating and he did it right then. Whenever I renew, I'm gonna stay with American Home Shield.

I had a heating issue where AHS sent out a tech from Affordable Heating & Air. He took care of the problem and was very professional. Apparently, I had a couple of other things going on and he had them written on the piece of paper that he gave me. He also told me that I needed to change my air filter that was causing part of the problem. It was a pleasant experience.
