    Right now, we've had issues, not so much with the American Home Shield, but mainly with the contractors they keep sending out. My most recent claim was for a stovetop. The claim submittal is easy. You just go on the app or the website and then just request a service. They schedule with whoever's available and they call to schedule an appointment. So far, everyone who's been scheduled has been on time or a little early, and they just come see the problem. The main issue I’ve had with the whole process is sometimes they hire companies and contractors that say something to us, but then they report something different to American Home Shield.

    That's where I'm in the process with American Home Shield because the contractor just told me they're gonna submit a request for replacement product. Then they reported something different to American Home Shield saying that it was caused by oil like we would then take care of it, but that was not what they told us it was. That's not an issue as well because we have been taking care of our stovetop. We've had it cleaned several times, but the product needs to be replaced. So, we're kind of in the middle of trying to get that fixed.

    I've submitted a couple of claims with Home Shield and the process is good. One thing that I haven't loved is that it is left open-ended as to who is supposed to contact who first. They say on one of the screens that the contractor will reach out to me and then if I check the status, it says it's waiting on me to reach out to them. Also, I have struggled getting the contractors scheduled and getting refunds on a couple of them, too. It took a while. But the experience with Rush Heating and Cooling for the HVAC stuff was perfect. They came out for a yearly clean and maintenance of the system.

    The motor on my garage door was malfunctioning so I had Valor come out. It was pretty easy to reach out via the American Home Shield website. I just marked what my issue was and then they showed me the list of vendors that they worked with. I took that list and looked up the different vendors separately just to get reviews and went with Valor. There was a replacement part that was needed and they took care of it in 10 minutes. The technician was a really nice guy and very professional.

    The last company that I dealt with when my hot water tank went out, I got a runaround. They eventually got around to having to replace the thing and fixing it. But with American Home Shield, it was smooth sailing. I had a claim recently for my garbage disposal. The guy who came out was quick, easy, and professional about everything. He kept me informed when he was on his way and how close he was. He ended up having it replaced. Now the new one is a little quieter than the original. My experience with American Home Shield has been great so far. I couldn’t ask for any better services this past time. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

    I've been an American Home Shield customer in six houses that I've been in. To me, it's repair insurance and is something that I consider essential. I keep it on a year to year basis and I find that it pays for itself with every year. I own two homes right now, one is a rental and one is my primary property, and American Home Shield is on both of them. The more rural locations or the higher end the house, the experience gets more difficult but now that I'm back in the metro with more available contractors, I haven't had an issue with getting service right away and having quality service. We had a running toilet and it was fixed but the contractor accidentally dropped the toilet lid and it shattered all over the floor. He ordered a new one before he left but it doesn't fit. I'm still contacting the plumber to get that replaced.

    We had a leak and we weren't sure where it was coming from. We suspected our toilets but we weren't really sure. The contractor who came for American Home Shield was a very nice and he took his shoes off at our door when he came. The tech had the needed part in his truck. He traced the leaks down and got them fixed. He was very nice and I would hire him myself if I had a plumbing problem. We have had a policy with American Home Shield for 20-something years. I'm a Farmers insurance agent and I've had AHS coverage since Farmers started selling Home Shield's warranty. They have a very simple process for submitting claims.

    A couple of years ago, we had air conditioning problems and Sears kept coming out. I kept telling them that the issue was with the coils upstairs. Their techs went upstairs, did a little this and that and were down in less than five minutes. It was after the third time I called American Home Shield when they sent an actual heat and air serviceman instead of sending out Sears. The tech said that I was right and that the issue was with the coils. He said that it was due to AHS's procedure that they sent Sears before. They were trying to do a quick fix instead of doing things right. That serviceman got my issue fixed. I always recommend American Home Shield to people who have a new home.

    We had American Home Shield for four years before at our old house and then we bought a new house and we've had it for four months. The way that they choose providers seems wonky to me. When we lived in Los Angeles, California, it seemed like they would just choose a random supplier and a lot of times, those suppliers were 30 miles away from us. In Los Angeles, that's a three-hour drive, when I'm sure there were service providers closer. We just moved to Arkansas and it's same thing here. The provider seems random and wasn't the closest option.

    At our old place, we called mostly about the hot water heater when it had issues. It was old. We had some issues with the furnace as well. We've purchased homes that have been nice, but a lot of the appliances have been a little on the old side. It's a reassurance that if something were to break, then we can go to American Home Shield, instead of having to replace something or pay for it out of pocket. It's usually less expensive to pay them to have someone to come out as well. One time, they had N W Air Care come out here and it went well. They fixed the problem.

    UPDATED 11/02/2020: I filed a service request for a AC unit not working on 9/23/20 and AAA All Brands Appliance came 4 days later and diagnosed the AC compressor as bad and needed to be replaced. I agreed to pay $240.00 for FREON GAS and they said they will order the replacement part. This is over a month ago and the AC unit has not been repaired yet! Last week I called American Home Shield at least 5 times and spent over 8 hours on the phone listening to Jazz while on hold forever. They made lots of promises, but they all just lies! Nothing gets done! Another week without AC! Should I need a lawyer to collect my insurance claim?

    UPDATED 10/29/2020: Can you give a 0 star reviews? That is what this insurance company should get! Filed a claim for a repair on a AC unit! Filed a service request order on 9/23/20, not it is 10/26/20 still no repair done. Tenants have been left in Florida for over a month without Air Conditioner! American Home Shield hires technicians that have very bad reviews! To save money? They are hiring cheap labor?

    AAA All Brands Appliance came to look at the AC unit and they diagnosed that the AC compressor needed to be replaced... They also calculated a out of pocket expense of $240 for FREON GAS (the bottle of freon gas doesn't cost that much) I accepted to pay the out of pocket expense... A month later they told me they don't have the replacement part yet! (this was yesterday)

    I called American Home Shield again and they told me that AAA All Brands Appliance was going to call me yesterday to schedule a final repair time and day, and that if they didn't call by the end of the day they would escalate the claim... Escalate to what? The Repair company never called, I have been on the phone for over an hour listening to jazz music as they put me on hold. Again I got told today AAA All Brands Appliance is going to call me today... Simply they are a lousy insurance company they are prompt to take your money but when you call or ask for service they take a extra long time to perform the repair. My name is Pedro ** and I have a property management company.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW: Placed a service request for my AC unit. A week later the service company showed up and told me the compressor needed to be replaced. Agreed to and they told me there was a extra charge. Agreed to pay the extra cost. They told me they will have to order the part. Over a month now and they still don't have the part. Spoke to a representative at American Home Shield and she told me they haven't ordered the part because it needed to be paid for before they send the part! Outrageous, a warranty and they have you pay for the parts? I asked to speak to a supervisor and they put me on hold for a very long time (still waiting). Over 30 minutes now listening to Jazz! Wow what a horrible service! Need my money back! Paid for insurance for many years and not getting anything back. This is a scam! Beware. Don't believe in their promises!

    I was a customer with AHS for over 15 years. Due to COVID-19, I am having to sell my home and move in to my commercial property to hopefully be able to keep my business open. Since I have no other residential property for AHS to cover and I'm not financially able to spend hundreds of dollars on a warranty for a prospective buyer due to a 75% loss in income, AHS still feels the need to charge a cancellation fee. I have only utilized the warranty 2 times in the last 15 years. I'm sorry but I think AHS has gotten more than their fair share out of me and charging a cancellation fee, especially in these times, is offensive. Won't be using them if ever I'm provided the opportunity to own a home again.

I didn't give any promise to be with them for year or any monthly plan.

    We had three claims with AHS and we've been very pleased with two of them. One of the claims was for our air conditioner and it was taken care of. American Home Shield and the service were great. Then, I had a claim on the dishwasher and the serviceman and American Home Shield were great as well. But we're struggling tremendously with trying to get somebody here to take care of our furnace. We have a baseboard heat furnace, not a boiler system, and for whatever reason, that seems to cause trouble on getting somebody here. We're just requesting somebody to come look at our furnace for a preventative annual checkup and it almost seems like it would have been better if I would have said there was a problem.

    We had to call them twice on this and I was not happy at all with the last customer service person that we dealt with. We clearly said we need somebody to take care of a baseboard heat system and she scheduled us to have somebody take care of us but it clearly said on the service request form that it was for forced air system. After being on the phone for a long time, I'm not happy with the wait time and that's really problematic, we still ended up in the same situation and I was very frustrated.

    I recommend American Home Shield every time I get a chance. If someone is having any kind of issue at home, I tell them my experiences. I brag about American Home Shield big time. One time, my furnace would kick on and wouldn't ignite. It blew cold air. I submitted a claim and Climate Heating and Cooling called the next morning and let me know that they had an opening. They came out that morning and got the furnace to where it would stay working. It turned out that when it was worked on before, when a new motherboard was put in, the wiring harness was not changed. It was the following week when the new harness came in, which I didn't think was bad. They put it on and they were really good.

    Bencraft Mechanical has been out before and recently, their technician came out for my AC unit. He was a great guy. He put up with all my questions, but unfortunately, it was a quick fix. He had to troubleshoot a little and then he decided to drain out one of the lines. I drained half of it, so he just had to drain the other half. I still had to pay $100 for this claim, so I lost on this one, but I'm feeling all right about it. Overall, we are doing great with AHS.

    Initially, when we signed up, the web portal didn't work. I had to call and every time, it was bad, but that’s been fixed. I don’t expect a uniform experience though. They've got to make money somehow. Paying that deductible is the only downside. Still, we’ve tripled our money, so we’re very happy. They’re very responsive, and they don't try to nickel-and-dime us on every call that we've had. They seem to pay out, and they seem to hire good contractors too. I've told all my friends and family already that they need this unless they have a brand new construction home. For $500 for the whole year, there's no question about it.

    When I called, Home Shield sent Air Dynasty. They came out, did their diagnosis and the technician said it was the evaporator coil. He showed me some pictures of some rust and stuff. It was leaking. He showed me all the system. And he said, based on what he saw, my out of pocket cost would be between $1,200 and $1,400. And he would get with AHS and get a confirmation on the pricing. They called me back the next day. They said it would be $1,800. They said AHS would pay for the evaporator coil and the installation. Of course, I had to pay for the Freon, which Home Shield is not being fair to the consumer when it comes to Freon. The rep said I needed a duct, something with the ductwork, a new drain pan, a new drain line. It was out of code for the flow switch, and I needed a hard cap.

    This house was built in 2011. I got to thinking, "Well, that's quite a bit of stuff that's out of code for a 2011 home." I didn't say anything. I just went ahead and said, "Okay." They said it would be $1,800 dollars. I said, "Can you guys give me a discount?" And then they said, "Yes. But I'll call you back. I'll get with my boss and see if we can get a discount. And I'll call you back." She called me back. She said, her boss said, "You can get additional 10% if you fill out a review online." I'm like, "Well, you guys really haven't done any work." And I gave the technician a 5 for coming out and explaining everything, and his diagnosis. So, I said, "Okay. I'll go online and do it."

    But when I went online, I started reading the reviews of other customers. Every review that Home Shield had had a 1. It's the same exact thing they told me that the evaporator coil that I needed would cost $1,800. And then they sent a guy named Ignacio over the next day because I said, "That's too much money to pay out of pocket. For a little bit more money, I can get a whole new system in and out.” And the same thing he told me, it's the same thing he told the reviewers.

    I called Air Dynasty the next day and I said, "Look, you guys are scams. The same thing your technician told me, it's the same thing in these reviews." She said, "Well, we're trying to rectify the problem. We've straightened out things since then.” But no, you can't have straightened things out because the same exact thing he told me was the exact thing in the reviews.

    I called AHS back, and I got a second opinion to come out. He said the system is up to code. He couldn't find anything wrong. It is full of Freon and everything. That assured me that Air Dynasty is a scam. Based on the reviews that I saw and what they told me as well, they're scammers. I called AHS and I said, "Look, you guys need to remove Air dynasty from your contract list. They are scammers. They're no good. Their reviews are bad. How can you guys send out a company with reviews like this? Are you guys reading the reviews of this company? You can't be, because if you were, you wouldn't have never sent them out to me in the first place." So, I called the Better Business Bureau and they said I would have to file a claim online, which I'm going to do, because Air Dynasty are scammers.

    The second opinion contractor MJ Mechanical came up and their technician said he couldn't find anything wrong with the system. It's not leaking. He showed me the gauges where it was full of Freon. He said it was up to code. He said, "I don't know why he told you you're out of code." I knew I wasn't out of code anyway because the house was built in 2011. I didn't need a flow switch, drain pan, drain line, hard cap or any ductwork. That's all their scam is to get money in their pocket because they wanted to make more money than what they would pay the contractor for replacing the evaporator coil, which didn't need replacing. And I don't know what happened with the unit. It made some noise and it stopped cooling. But it could have been a fluke. But the second opinion contractor didn't find anything wrong with it.

    Home Shield is really bad on the consumer when it comes to AC. We pay this money for warranty. We pay $100 service fee. They come out, we got to pay $1,800, $2,000 to get a repair done. And then we got to pay all this money for Freon. That's unfair for what we have to pay. And then, their customer service is horrible. They give us people that we can't understand when we call. Out of five words that they say to me, I can only understand one. I need someone that can speak good, clear English and then can understand my point. Until this is straightened out, I'm very dissatisfied with the service, the customer service, the contractors.

    I had a refrigerator back in February of this year. It took them to July to fix my refrigerator. I kept telling the technician, "Guys, you all not looking in the right place." "I'm the tech. You don't tell me what to do. If you don't want me to do it, then I'll cancel the job." "But I'm telling you, I worked in a technical field for 36 years. I know how to troubleshoot." And this guy was like, "No. I'm the technician. You know what? I'll cancel the order. Cancel it. Cancel it." Home Shield needs to revamp their system completely.

They did something to the stove, and I put it at 400 over the weekend to cook something, and I pressed the temperature up and back down just to see where it was at, and it still hadn't reached 400. We have a chest freezer that broke and we found out later on that it's not covered. So, we had to trash it. That was a little disappointing. But other than that, my experience has been wonderful.

    I had two instances where AHS sent out a tech from Sears and I was satisfied with both of them. They came and fixed the problems right away, so I was really happy. The last one who came out did his job pretty quickly and had his face mask on. He also stayed away from us as much as he could. All in all, the people that AHS send have been good and they know what they're doing, so that's all I can care about.

    My water tank started leaking due to old age. Requesting service online from American Home Shield was very simple. The contractor they sent was very professional and they took care of everything in a timely fashion. They had to way for the tank which eventually came the next day. They put everything in and cleaned everything up. This was a very good experience.

    American Home Shield's contractor repaired everything I requested. I had three problems, the first being a washer that was not completing any program until the end. My second problem was a refrigerator that was making noise that comes and goes. Lastly, I needed to repair the sparks for the left part of my gas stove. Initially, my issues were applied to one of AHS's agents. A tech from there came and did something. However, I experienced the same problem after a little bit. AHS then sent Ace Appliance and their tech did all three of my appliances excellently.

    American Home Shield sent Honesty for a clogged, dirty toilet. I called them and they gave me the name of someone that was gonna come. Honesty called and they asked me when it was good for me and I told them. They came, and everything's done. Everything is wonderful. The guy went beyond. The toilet was in a really bad shape, and he had a good attitude about it. He got to work right away. He was there early. I had asked if they can come to my house first before they start their rounds, and he came first and early, which allowed me to come to work on time. Then, he left it like brand new.

    I like that I can just go online and file the claim, and somebody can come out quick. It's easy to deal with. When the dishwasher stopped working, I filled out the claim online. And then, the company, Ramey, called me. I did it over the weekend, so they called me on that Monday and asked what was wrong with it. They came out the next day and they fixed it within 20 minutes. The tech explained to me what was wrong with it. And if it happened again, that I would just need to submit again because it's something that just happened with it, with the movement of the dishwasher.

    I sent in the request for the annual service through the website. Then I got a notification that someone was being notified and in less than 24 hours, we got a call. 7 Cities Air came in and inspected the system. They were fantastic. They were friendly and professional. Everything was fine. I had a really good experience with 7 Cities.

    We put in three claims within the last two weeks, and one of them was to fix some ductwork and that went very badly. The claim ended up getting denied. The reason for it being denied was absolutely ridiculous. I tried contacting the HVAC company and getting ahold of them was hard. They wouldn't return my phone calls. I called American Home Shield and tried to talk to a supervisor about it and it was next to impossible to talk to a supervisor. I still haven't talked to one. None of them have given me a call back. I've requested a call back two or three times. I called the HVAC company and talked to them. They were gonna engage with American Home Shield and try and talk to them for us, which didn't work. So then they were gonna contact American Home Shield and have them call us, which they haven't done.

    The faucets in the house and the ones outside weren’t doing what they were supposed to, and the water tank wasn't heating the water properly. It wasn't getting enough flow from that. I called American Home Shield, and I got a text and my husband got a phone call to let us know as to when to expect the contractor. For the first one, the young lady who took my request got it all jumbled up. I was notified by A State Plumbing that they only had one item that was to be checked and it didn't have the other request that I needed on there. So, I called AHS and talked to someone and everything was averted.

    Everything was impeccable with the service provided by A State Plumbing. My bathroom is furthest away. I had to wait the longest to get my hot water, and then it ran at a slow pace. I'm on a time limit when I get up in the morning, so waiting around for water to get to me and heat up is not good. But since the issue has been corrected, everything works fine although my husband's faucet is a little slower than what it was. Still, I wouldn't own a home without American Home Shield. They've not let me down and I don't expect them to.

    We've called AHS four times and we had an issue with one of the contractors that came out. Our fridge stopped working and the contractor said he was coming one day but he didn't and we rescheduled. Then, when he was coming out, he didn't call and say between what times he would come. He just showed up at our house. And he refused to come into the house and wouldn't do anything. He yelled at my husband and my husband told him he needed to go. AHS sent another company out and they were great.

    We've also had Chesapeake Appliance come out for the dyer and they said that it needed to be replaced. The tech sent it over to AHS and they called. I was at work and the lady said she needed me to be at the house to answer questions because she needed measurements and things like that. I asked her to call me back and she didn't. Then, I kinda just forgot about it and it got pushed at the back. When this whole thing happened, my husband talked to them about it and she was supposed to send him an email but he never got an email. Overall, though, Home Shield is worth it. When the one company comes out, it's beneficial and it saves money to a degree.

    American Home Shield was great. We had a bathtub and when I went to turn on the hot water, it didn't have hot water coming out. American Home Shield made arrangements for a plumber.

The whole thing was up and down three days, from the time I contacted them till repair. It wasn't one of those things that were an emergency like water was flowing on the floor or anything like that. The guy just had to replace the controller on the tub, so that hot water would come out. The poor old guy had a heart condition and I thought he was gonna have a heart attack on me.

    I had a home that I lived in California with AHS policy for two years. On this house that I currently live in right now, I've had it for three months. Requesting service is simple. I've done it online, and then I've also done it live via the phone. Air Rescue Mechanical was sent out for a heating issue recently. The gentleman, Johnny, was phenomenal. super responsive, and did a great job. He did an assessment first and determined that there was a part needed. He said it was probably gonna be a week before the part came in. What ended up happening was that he was able to get the part in a day or two tops, and it was back up and running.

    In today's world, right, wrong, good, bad, or indifferent, there's a lot of access to information through social media. As a member of society, like many others, have become dependent upon others that provide reviews of either service, service level, professionalism, follow-up, etc. I was lucky that they assigned me the service provider that they did, but I've also had other claims that I filed that the first person that was assigned to me when I looked them up on Yelp and other reviews had very low ratings, and also even disparaging marks against not only the company, but American Home Shield named specifically in the comments as well. I don't know how often they review or what the process is for review for any of the service providers that they use, but I would just ask that if they don't have a formal process, they probably wanna develop one. They're representing American Home Shield in one way or another.

    The reviewer provided that not only was the service was bad, but when they called American Home Shield, American Home Shield was aware of the poor service that this provider had in the past and they have a reputation and a track record of providing bad service. They just continue to use that provider and so I don't know if they have a process but when it's a disparaging remark and it's on Yelp, so they can dispute it. But at the end of the day, it's just a reflection of their company.

The only thing I would like to see change, and this is the only time I ever need to talk to a person, is if Home Shield assigns me a contractor. It would be nice if I could pick the contractor. All of the contractors I've dealt with have been top-notch with the exception of one, and that's the one I refuse to deal with moving forward. It was my first year that I had the warranty and the guy was rude, obnoxious and very condescending. My recommendation was to remove him from the list of contractors. I don't know if he's still on the list, but the few times I've been assigned to him, I called and asked that somebody else be assigned.

    People need to make sure and look at the policies to see if there are extra things that has to be added.

We also had to get an extra add-on for our well since we don't live in the city limits. So if they live outside of the city limits or have extra appliances that aren't like your refrigerator, stove, microwave, then they need to make sure that they don't have to be added separately.

    Other than that, the claim submission process with AHS is fairly simple. Most of the time, I can just do it online.

    I had a stopped up drain and I did the claim online with American Home Shield. There should have been an option on the website for an emergency and there was none. After I filed the claim, they listed the plumber’s phone number. I called the plumber directly but if it's not an emergency, they don't come out right away. So, I had to wait and that meant I went without water and I had a flood. So, it should be listed on there if it's a regular claim or it should be listed as an emergency if you need somebody out right away.

    The plumber was perfect. He knew exactly how to fix the problem and how to file the claim. Sometimes when you hear a plumber will come out, they don't know how to work with the warranty company. This plumber knew the steps that he had to follow and it was approved. Then, he went and got the parts and started right away. So, that was very helpful. He solved the problem that day. He was able to snake the drain and take care of our issue, and we were able to clean up all the water. Luckily, it didn't do any damage. We just switched from the other company to AHS.

The service tech American Hoem shield was from Air Majesty and he was not able to come out until Monday. when he came, he said he could not get the AC to give off any codes. He couldn't get the problem to replicate itself and said that there was no issue going on right then. But if the problem arose again, I had 60 days and I wouldn't have to pay again. I was to call if there were any other problems.

    The issue happened again on Saturday and we did the same thing. We turned the AC off then once it defrosted, put it back on. It was hot that day and I was baking so the house was extremely hot. I tried turning the AC off then on again and it worked. I guess it was just gonna be a weekend occurrence. I gotta wait for it to happen in the week. I could not get the AC to replicate the issue. With American Home Shield, everything is pretty much explained as is. You got to pay a little money upfront. If there's anything else extra, they'll let you know.

I'm computer-illiterate, so if I say that it's really easy, it is. I've only had to pay the one-time fee, and they've come out and fixed the problem. The very first time they came out was for my air conditioner. The guy who came was very professional and polite. He looked at my AC and said the problem was the compressor. He goes, “This is something that’s typical. It goes out on these air conditioners outside, the outside part of it.” He came back the next day when he said he was gonna come then he fixed it, and it's been working ever since.

    When the pipe for our master bedroom bathroom shower was busted, we took our showers in the guest bathroom. The first time the contractor came out, he fixed the hot water faucet in the guest bathroom and he did that lickety-split. He was wonderful. He knew his stuff and he was very polite, well-mannered, and professional. In our master bedroom bathroom, he picked the drain up and went, “Oh, yeah, this pipe's broke. I'm gonna have to have a helper to come back to get underneath there while I'm on top.” That was Thursday of last week and he said they'd be here 8 o'clock Monday. They were here at 8:30 and they got it done.

    I've had good experiences with American Home Shield. I recently had appliance claims with them. I had a refrigerator that was leaking at the bottom, and I had a stove where one of the outlets was dead. There was a period where I couldn't get an answer on the call-in line. But I called back the next day and I was able to get an answer. It took a while for the parts to get in. If AHS could get their contractors to set appointments a little quicker, it would be nice. But other than that, everything went fine.

    Part of the house was missing electricity. I used American Home Shield's online system to let them know of the issue. It was great. It's super easy to use. I loved it. I didn’t really have to do anything but click a button. They said, “We are contacting this person in your area. They will alert you shortly.” Four days later, I got a phone call from that company.

    My husband put the service call to American Home Shield. We feel good about the person that came out. He did a good job. It was a fuse that had blown. He was here longer than an hour and a half. As far as AHS, we were kind of finicky about who they're sending in regards to electricians with our plumbing system because we keep the same guys for our well, and we don't know if they know what they're doing. But, overall, they're very responsive, so it's fine.

    We feel that it's a little tedious if you have multiple items that have the same issue. We had more than one fan that were acting up, and the system only allows you to put in one fan. Fans aren't very expensive, so we think that you could call in and pay $75 for the same type of tech to come out to check three fans. When it would probably be the same person, same company, three times is excessive. They say, “Okay. Well, you would have to pay additional if there are more than, I don't know, whatever the cap is that is covered by AHS.” It's the same item. I don't think we should have to have multiple service calls if it's the same item multiple times.

    It's beneficial to just know that if things break, if they're not slowly needing to be replaced, you don't have to worry about paying the full cost of getting gouged by some irreputable company. That kind of falls on AHS to do the legwork of finding someone that they think will do a reputable job and send them out because both of their names are on the line. That takes the hassle away from the consumer. So, that's helpful. Then, within generally 48 hours someone goes at the property trying to assist the consumer with whatever issue they're having.

    Home Shield's website is a little jacked up. It's hard to find the number to call and what's covered versus what's being sold. It took me a while to figure out how to call. It just kept trying to sell me something versus showing me where I needed to go bcause I already had the service. But once I got ahold of someone, the claims process was fantastic. One of the questions I had was it said there was $100-something and I didn't know if I was supposed to pay that before the tech comes here or after. It was a little confusing but I've got it all worked out now.

    I had a claim for a range top that's 20 years old. Maple Leaf Mechanical came in, figured out what part they needed, and then ordered the part. The tech was always early for every one of his appointments and he wore his mask. Both visits were very cordial and very nice. He got the job done the range top is working. It didn't go as well with the AC but it was just because it wasn't covered and I didn't like the guy. And that was five years ago. The last three times we've dealt with Home Shield has been good.

    It was right when we moved into our home. The water heater was acting weird. It wasn't producing as much hot water as it should. The contractor came out on the appointment time that was set up. It was quick. The problem that was happening with the water heater wasn't happening when the contractor was there. So, I understood that they couldn't do anything either. At that time, nobody had used the water heater in so long. The water heater is an older one but it's not to where it needs to be replaced. By this time, there were just two parts that needed to be replaced.

    Recently, the water heater completely stopped working. I called in the claim to American Home Shield at 8:30 in the morning and by about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, I had received a call. I was at work so I let the call go straight to voicemail. Within about five minutes, they called again and I noticed it was a local number. When I answered the call, it was the local contractor saying that they could be at my home within the hour, and they gave me about a three hour time frame, which was a little bit long for me but I made it work.

    I had my brother-in-law there at the house and he said that the contractor was in and out within an hour. The problem was located, fixed and done. By the time I got home with my son, everything was working and checked, so it was fine. We were satisfied. They left the old part and when I looked at the invoice that was emailed to me, they said exactly what was wrong. They tested the water while they were there to make sure that it was already hot. They let us know how long it would be until we would get a full tank of hot water. We're a family of six and so there's constantly showers going on or dishwasher or our regular washer for clothes.

    It's been a very seamless process with AHS. The first year that we bought our home, the contract was paid for and then when the contract expired, it rolled over to our responsibility. That in itself was very easy. Cost-wise, it's very inexpensive as to what it covers. It's worth the price. The times that we've had to use it, AHS has been attentive and understanding. They have given us prompt time and it’s not just any company that they pluck out. The contractors seem very trustworthy and honest companies. Overall, we've been very satisfied and I don't see us switching any time soon.

    Saulter’s Appliance Repair came out and they looked at the oven from about 10 feet away. They said we broke the oven door by putting too much weight on it, but they said to us it was okay. They said they'll have the hinges replaced. They also stood away from the refrigerator when they looked at it and said, "Oh, that's easy. It's just one little part. We could order it." They then reported to AHS that we forced the oven door at more than a 45-degree angle, which caused it to break. The door opens at a 90-degree angle. You can't put anything in it at 45 degrees. The door doesn't open far enough.

    That first contractor was completely out of line. Another thing he said was that the refrigerator was on a recall, so he shouldn't even do anything. That particular unit was not on recall though. That guy never showed up and never replaced the part for the refrigerator. He dropped the entire thing. Everything he did was “mishandled on purpose.” He should lose his license and be put out of business. I don't know why he's working. I'm in real estate for 33 years and I've never seen anything like this. I've been using AHS forever too. Anyway, AHS sent somebody new and they fixed everything. It was not a problem at all.

    The second guy came in perfect. He said, "Yeah, this is very common. It happens. It's always about the fourth or fifth year. Very normal." He ordered the parts, got everything and put them in. He did absolutely great. That's what I know of AHS. They usually come through that well. It's very easy to submit claims too. I do it online and they always said that the contractor would call within 24 to 48 hours. Both contractors did.

    I don't like American Home Shield's customer service though. I had to talk to an upper level person. The problem with them and all businesses today, they work with, "Hit this exchange, this exchange, this number, this number," and you go where you're going. Whatever the first guy put in their computer system is all they looked at. I don't know if they're trained not to think, not to look and not to handle. All they did was repeat what the first guy said and that's what made me very frustrated. I had to write a letter to their legal department to get their attention and then the internal manager ended up calling us. Overall, I've tried other home warranty companies and they're all the same. They're not great, but American Home Shield at least came through.

    I had two back to back service calls with American Home Shield last week. When you turn on the water off and on in my tub, the rubber portion was broken. This was the first time I ever had to have that particular part replaced. The gentleman from C Mayes Plumbing said that it was wear and tear since it was old and worn out. He was nice and cool. I also had the cooling system serviced. HMS was giving a preseason inspection on the heating and cooling system. They took care of what they detected there.

    I've been here for about three years and since I've been home, that's when things started going haywire. With things being tight financially, you just pay the annual fee and then when you have an issue, pay your deductible. I tell all my family and friends that they must get any type of home service warranty. Everything has been great with AHS for the most part. When the guys are on their way, I get a courtesy text message. Then, when the technician is coming to do the service work, they give you a call to say they are 10 minutes away. It's great because sometimes, I can't hear the doorbell when I’m upstairs in my office working or downstairs. I have no complaints at all.

    I had a problem with the furnace staying on when I first tried to use heat three weeks ago. I had some techs come out to investigate that and they concluded that it was going to need just an annual cleaning. I scheduled that through American Home Shield and they recommended Sierra Mechanical Service. When their tech came out, he was here for a good while and while he was here, the furnace worked and came on and off better than it had for me, so I knew something was wrong. I just didn't know what. But he stayed long enough and checked it again, and it failed for him. So, we knew we had a bad gas valve. The technician then did some punching into his computer and sent the report through to AHS. And when he did that, he came back and gave me my options. He told me about the money that I was going to have to spend with the service call and to get things back working.

    Then, he said he thought that what AHS offered there with the upgrade would possibly be interesting to me. And it was not only appealing immediately, but I thought about it for a little bit. Before that day was over, I called them back and said that instead of putting several hundred dollars into a 17-year old furnace and an air conditioning system, I'd rather just be done with it and be good for another 20 or more years with something. I've enjoyed the work that Sierra did and they were very professional. They came out real thorough and real explanatory with all the new stuff. Plus, they did a really good clean-up there of getting the old furnace and the old air conditioning system. Everything looks good and I've enjoyed the heating aspect of it.

    Other than that, my account had the wrong name on it when I signed up with AHS. It had my brother's name on it and initially, they seemed to be going around saying that nobody could change it. I tried to explain to them that I was at my brother's house checking on stuff for him when I inquired with AHS then I signed up myself, and maybe that was where the confusion arose. I also had my brother on the phone to say that he didn't sign up for anything with AHS and that he hadn't been paying anything. Plus, I got an email through this process of surveys and the appointments that still had my brother's name on it. But maybe that has been corrected officially and I just need to check back with them.

    The toilets weren’t flushing. They were backing up. That was after the hurricane. And then, I had a leak behind the downstairs shower. And then, the upstairs shower was not working. It was a bunch of different plumbing problems all at once. I called Home Shield out. K & S Plumbing did a great job with what they did. Very courteous, professional, and got it fixed and handled. But the unfortunate thing is almost every single thing that I bring up to Home Shield, I pay 100 bucks for them to send somebody out. And typically, whatever I'm bringing to their attention is never covered. I always come out of pocket. Lately, I've been denied by every single insurance on every single thing. And I'm just getting so tired of paying insurance when none of it works for me.

    When I call Home Shield to see if something is covered or to see if I could file something to get somebody out there, it would be really great to be able to talk to a representative. But you're forced to do it on the automated system or put it through online. And the bad part about that is, like this last plumbing issue, it doesn't really fit in with the criteria of what the automated system is asking. And it doesn't fit in with what you're trying to put in online. With the automated system, I could not get a representative. I was trying to say what the problem was. It would not let you tell what all the different problems were. It will only let you list one. All I was able to say is toilet, that is it, when I have three toilets messing up and two showers. My card is already charged 100 bucks before they even know what the problem is, and I cannot get to a representative.

    From there, I see where they charged me 100 bucks because I can't go any further with their automated system until I pay. After that, I gotta get back on the phone with them to finally get to a representative to talk about what my issues are. But I can't ever speak with a representative until they run my card. I get the representative on the second go-around, but that's only because they charged my card. I can never speak with them beforehand and say, “Hey, do you cover this before I go through all this rigmarole?” I can't even get to somebody to even tell me that at all. They have to charge me before I can even know if it's covered to even go through all that. That's more than annoying. And then, it seems that if it looks like whatever it is, is gonna be covered, and they send someone out, I get somebody to come out but it's the company that tells me, “No, that's not in your policy.” "So what do y'all cover? I'd like to know.”

    I can call any company and say, “Hey, what would you charge to look at this?” or “Can you come and give me a free estimate?” They can do that all day long. But when I go through Home Shield, if I just wanna know if something is covered, I don't wanna be charged 100 bucks before I can even speak with somebody to know if something is covered.

    I paid 100 bucks, and then I do speak with somebody, it still seems like those things are covered. But it turns out they're not. By the time I find out, the professional is already here, looking at me like I'm an idiot and asking me if I wanna proceed or not, and it's us coming out of pocket. But I've already paid Home Shield 100 bucks just to send the person. I'm coming out behind. If I would have called the company myself for them to come out and say, “This is what it's gonna cost out of pocket,” I would have saved at least 100 bucks because I wouldn't have a finder's fee. That happened with the air conditioner unit a couple of months ago. It's a vicious cycle. They refunded the $100 on the AC thing because my husband was pretty irate he ended up having to pay that guy over $700. That was appreciated.

    I like the comfort of knowing that I have insurance through Home Shield when something stupid happens, because my husband and I are the king and queen of things breaking, and we're tired of this. We always come out of pocket. But I'm starting to wonder what do they cover? Also, the rate went up last year. Nobody told me. It just went up to 80 something bucks a month from 60. I happened to be going through my statement and I went, “Whoa, I’m paying $80 a month? I was supposed to be paying $65 or something." We’re reevaluating things. Other than that, Home Shield's customer service reps are great. They're on point. They send us good professionals that come out here and take care of the problem. It's just a system flaw.

    The outlets weren't working and Home Shield handled it very professionally, efficiently, and quickly. The contractors came out two days after I submitted the claim. We also had a plumbing problem after the electrical problem. The plumber had to cut into the ceiling to fix the problem. However, Home Shield does not repair that. So, we're just with a hole in our ceiling until we found someone to replace it. Consider the age of your home, your plumbing and furnace units. If they're old or if you don't have the money that you feel it would take to do either the repairs or the replacement, get a warranty.

    The idea of having someone that you can call and get a qualified person to come and fix whatever your needs are is good. It's good resource that American Home Shield's been doing in a long time. My most recent claim was a plumbing issue and My Georgia Plumber was good. They came out and did what we needed. We also had them to do some other work that we paid for. We've been with American Home Shield for a number of years and my experience in general has been good. There are things about them that I like and there are things about them that I don't like. From time to time, you'll get a not good vendor which would be true with any company like them. Plumbing and electricals usually work well but the biggest challenge has been in the area of heating and air conditioning. I will probably go with somebody else in the future but American Home Shield is okay.

    We have a claim on our washer and AHS thought that they had fixed the problem when the first service company came out. But then, they had to send another service company and they determined it was a completely different issue. They said that they probably didn't need to replace that logic board that the first company replaced because the problem ended up being the cold water valve. And if the cold-water valve doesn't work on a washer, it won't process through its cycles.

    So, we're waiting now on that part to arrive and hopefully, to resolve the issue. It's tough because we have 13 people in the house and we've been using laundromats for two and a half weeks. So, it’s a little nutty. Besides that, the process seems to be pretty easy for scheduling. I started the process online, then I ended up talking to somebody on the phone as well. As long as I am able to log in, I would be able to see the status. They also gave good status on text messages and emails.

    Other than that, the second provider was very personable and very communicative as far as letting me know where we were and what was going on. But the guy from first company was a little bit like a robot. I called him flesh-robot but not to his face. He came in and didn't really do any small talk. He just said he was here to look at the washer and the first time, he came in with no mask on. I directed him straight to the laundry room and he was there for 12 minutes. He ran a diagnostic then he said that this was the problem and he had to order a part, so he'd be back. And he left.

    When he came back to install the part, it was exactly the same thing. I asked him to wear a mask that time and he did. But he came right in and just did the work. And then, he started what he thought was the calibration cycle, but he actually started the test cycle. He said it was going to take 30 to 40 minutes, then he left and never came back. He said when it was done, we should be able to use the washer. But he never ran the calibration cycle, which was what the second company determined when they came out. They also had to do some other testing to figure out what was actually wrong with it.

    I have noticed that a lot of the companies that AHS partner with are not on the Better Business Bureau or they have extremely low ratings on the Better Business Bureau. I got some feedback on this as well from some people who have used American Home Shield before, I also did my own research before I called in on this project and asked if they had any higher-rated companies that do much better service. Oddly enough, the first one I got wasn't particularly great and I read that they aren't part of the Better Business Bureau. The second company is a part of the Better Business Bureau, but they had a significant number of complaints there. So, that's why I didn't go with them first. But it seems like the young man that came was more knowledgeable than the first gentleman that came from the other company by far.

    So, it would prove better for AHS to see if they could get more companies on their list that have super-high ratings with the Better Business Bureau because that reflects on them. If they get the ones with higher ratings, that means that they're making an effort to partner with companies that are going to reflect well for them. My parents have used American Home Shield for their home, too and overall, it's been good from what I understand their experience was. For us, this is the first time we got a home warranty because we have some particularly large items like a pool and a spa. Also, it's a 20-year-old house and if you buy a 20-year-old house, there has got to be things that start to go south.

    Our house was being flooded and I called American Home Shield. It was pretty easy because everything was automated to talk to a person. Just follow the prompts, put in my claim, and within a couple hours, the plumber was here. It was really smooth and fairly quick too. This was the first time we called and it was a good experience. We only had to pay $75 for the plumber to show up, give us the material and do the installation. Before I called them, I was calling around to get a plumber out here and I was looking at at least $500. But everything was covered and they took care of the problem.

    I did the claim in 1-2-3 then I got a callback from the contractor who had an opening that day within about an hour or so. It was a pretty quick process and it was the first time I've ever had that done. I've converted my heating system and I wasn't getting the push that I needed out of it. I haven't had any issues since the tech came out. I do notice that if I make an adjustment, it does pump it out like it used to.

    It's easy to get things done as far as trying to get the service techs and also putting in the process of the claim. It goes smoothly. The biggest issue is people don't understand the necessity of having a home insurance policy to help with appliances and things. That's where a lot of people are going to have to dish out out of their pocket. They don’t take advantage of a company where you have this $100 deductible which can save you a couple thousand. I've had prior bad experiences with different organizations. I've done some homework and the biggest thing that American Home Shield does that is a benefit for me is the maintenance issue. The fact that American Home Shield doesn't hold it against you with maintenance issues to repair your service lets you sleep at night a little better.

    I’m having major issues with Home Shield. I've been going round and round with them for over a month for the same issue. All they're doing is playing games. My dishwasher doesn't work. They've sent out nine people. I have taken nine days off of work every day, losing a whole eight hours waiting for them to come. The contractor would be there for five minutes to give me another excuse, then they leave. To this day, the dishwasher still doesn't work, and it has been a month and a half.

    I called Home Shield about my water heater. Six days went by, I didn't hear a call. No one showed up to diagnose it. I called a company to get it replaced, out of my pocket. I called Home Shield back, “Hey, can I send you the receipts?” “Oh, no, sir. You didn't go through us. We're not gonna help you. We're not gonna reimburse you or anything.” How long does a normal person wait without hot water in their home? Unfortunately, I have kids and a wife and I need hot water to wash my dishes, to take a shower. It's very important that you have hot water in a home.

    It looks like both claims are going nowhere. So now, I'm trying to get a manager. I'm trying to get my money back. I don't know what to do. They send me letters in the mail with no return address, so I can't send the letter back to them. Every time I call, they say a manager is gonna call me back. I have yet to receive a callback. I sit on hold for at least two to three hours every day during my work period. It's unreal. I'm sure that is what is gonna happen today. I've been on hold since 7:30. Do not go with this company.

    My washer had been out for about a week. The customer service from American Home Shield and the other company for Supreme was great. But I hated to have to wait a week. It just so happened that my washer stopped washing on the last load that I had done. So I really didn't have to wash for another two weeks. So it worked out. I only had to go to the laundromat to wring my stuff out and bring it home to dry. The technician was very professional, efficient and courteous. He came in and had his mask on. He had to go in and out a couple of times to get the right pieces to do what he needed to do, but he wasn't there a long time fumbling around. He knew what he was doing, got it done and left.

    I've recommended American Home Shield to other people for a long time, especially when people purchase new homes. I tell them that they should get a service for their appliances because you don't wanna purchase a home and then the next thing you know, you have to buy a refrigerator or stove or water heater. The company I had before was good but they didn't offer me any choices. If I had not been able to afford that, then I would've just been without a service.

    American Home Shield helps with certain things. Certain things, they don't help. I had an issue before with them because they just say what's covered, but they never get down into the details of exactly what's covered with that appliance. There was a lot that I had to go through with my air condition, and they never told me what was really covered with it. I had to talk to someone and they sent me a copy of my contract. With my contract, it breaks down every appliance, if I ever have to call, what is covered and what is not covered.

    Now when I had this with the refrigerator, I called in, saying that my refrigerator's leaking. It was clogged up because it was leaking and water was coming down. I wanted to see what they would and wouldn't cover. It's like a recording, they ask what you're doing a claim for, and you tell them, then after that, that's when they wanna take your money.

    I couldn't get anybody to answer the phone at American Home Shield. I tried several times. The refrigerator went down on a Friday night. I tried Saturday, left a message then called Monday morning but no one answered. It kept saying leave a message. I never did get to talk to anybody so I got online and filed the claim.

    The contractor was on time. He diagnosed the problem and told me, “It's hard to get ahold of American Home Shield. I will get in contact with them to see if they are gonna cover this or not. I will get back to you this afternoon and let you know what's been decided.” But I never heard from them till 2 days later. I called Coastal Appliance and said, “I haven't heard back from the guy that was here. He was supposed to call American Home Shield and let me know what was going on.” The lady said that she looked up my thing and said the parts have been ordered. I told her I would have appreciated a phone call to let me know that. I'd been sitting here wondering what was going on with it.

    Evidently, he got a hold of them and they gave him the green light to go ahead and order the parts. They were here Monday and put the parts in. However, I wasn't real thrilled with the guy that put it in because he told me, “If I'd have been out here the first time, I wouldn't have even tried to fix it.” But everything is going good so far. This is my first claim after being with American Home Shield a couple months and I really appreciate that. I'm very pleased with them. I switched over after the girls talked me into switching from Choice Home Warranty. It was also recommended by the guy that does a lot of my pool repairs. He said, “You really should go with a different company than Choice because they're getting terrible at approving claims.”

    Any contractor I've used from Home Shield has been pretty up-and-up. Johnson HVAC was fine as well. They came out for my plumbing issue from my shower. My issue is the limited information that Home Shield gives on the things that they do and don't cover. It seems like a lot of the issues are written for them not to cover them and to have additional services done. Not in particular from Johnson, but in most of the contractors that I've had come out.

    I’d like to see more transparency with Home Shield and the way they handle requests and information. Also, the website is a little confusing. It doesn't give you a spot where you can choose “other” because of the limited amount of options that it gives you to choose. With the monthly charge, I was initially paying one fee. I hadn't even used it in almost a year to signing up then all of a sudden, it went and bumped up to a different fee without any real notice as to the pricing change month-to-month.

    I had a furnace issue and I put in for what the issue was. It was the electrical box that was going to the furnace. They sent out a new contractor and they charged me again even though it was the same initial issue. I ended up having to pay that contractor to fix the panel because it was a panel that they no longer worked on due to fire hazards and Home Shield didn't cover that. They didn't cover anything for it. I’m at the point where I am probably going to, at the beginning of the year, be canceling and looking for a different home warranty company.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been completely satisfactory in every aspect. Their online portal is great. They did a very good job on it. It is easy to navigate and use. When our heating and air conditioning system suddenly stopped working, I was told on the website that it could be a couple of days before I was contacted. It also provided the direct contact information for the vendor.

    The guy did a good job. I called him on that Friday to find out when he'd be out. He told me he couldn't be out until Monday because he was pretty backed up. He said because it was fairly warm, he probably would have responded differently if we'd still been in freezing temperatures. He did the work and it worked for the heating. It was fairly late in the evening when he left. He got here kind of late but he did stay in touch with me the whole time.

    As soon as he left, I switched the air conditioning and it failed again so we called him directly. He was on the road and said he'd be right back even though it was very late at night and he had a long way to go. He turned around, came straight back, and said, "Well, then, it's not what I thought. It's out here," and fixed it immediately. I was very impressed with the level of service and the commitment. The only thing I would have liked is for him to have looked at the air conditioning before he left. But I can't complain as he fixed it. I was very pleased with the service.

    I had American Home Shield years ago but I didn't have a good experience with them so I stopped using them. A few years later, one of my friends was telling me that the management was changed and they are doing a better job now so I tried them again. For the first call that I had with them for my refrigerator, they did pretty good. The second time was for the dishwasher that's still pending. The company who came to fix the problem was supposed to order something. I've called many times about it and they said, “We will contact you after contacting the company.” The dishwasher is still, up to now, not fixed yet and the claim has been open since 2019. It is annoying because the dishwasher has a panel where you click it on and off. Every time, my wife has to use some kinda tool like a spoon or a fork to reach that button. It doesn't look good.

    This is the third time for the electrical problem which was a good experience. Omega Electric did a good job. They fixed the problem immediately. To keep American Home Shield at the top of the other companies, they could find a different company that handle those small issues especially when it comes to a dishwasher. In their opinion, it's not emergency. It's still functioning good but the front panel is really damaged and it should be replaced to be able to function better.

    Now that I've discovered online claims, the process is really easy. When submitting a claim online, the site kinda guides you and gives you options as far as what you can say is wrong instead of having to explain up to a person what I'm dealing with. It submits it immediately, whereas over the phone, there's a delay. Some of their contractors are really awesome but some of them are not. We had an issue with our dryer and it took more than two weeks to get it fixed. We had four different repair guys come out. The end result being what it was, it should’ve been handled the first time.

    The guy that came out the first time was terrible. But American Home Shield was fantastic. Whenever I had a problem with a vendor, I called them and the representative would tell me, “Well, let me find you another vendor. Let me take care of this right away.” They had somebody out here the next day. So it was nice that they took into consideration the fact that this was not a new claim.

    The claim for the washer itself was fine. The problem is a difference of opinion between the technician and myself. I tried to explain to him that the agitator should not run with the lid up because that's a safety precaution. It never ran that way before. After that new switch, it still runs that way. It also will sporadically run when you're filling it up. Something isn't right. Also, the top of the agitator used to go back and forth. Now, it just goes around in circles. He said the bottom is supposed to do that. But the top is not supposed to go around in circles. It only went around in circles when you're spinning it out.

    We had an issue with our air conditioner and the service company that American Home Shield connected me to couldn't come out for four days. It was 100 and something out here so I called American Home Shield back and they were able to give me somebody in a couple days. It's just that the waiting process takes a little longer. It's not that big a deal but sometimes, it seems like when AHS contacts the vendor, they can't come out for a day or two. But the air conditioning issue was the one that was the furthest out. I could understand it because it's in Las Vegas at that time in July and it was really hot out. We had to go two or three days without air conditioning and we just turned some fans on. Recently, Dockside Plumbing came out for a leak on the drain underneath my kitchen sink. The technicians were very professional, on time, and took care of the problem.

    I had an outside electric plug that wasn't working. I did the claim online and then they set it up. Then the electrician had to cancel and change the date because they couldn't do it that day.

Overall, I've been very satisfied with AHS. But if you had something really critical and something's not working that you really need, and they have to show out a week before they can get anybody, that I've had to jump out and pay out of pocket to get it fixed because I couldn't wait.

    We had one plumbing issue in our bathroom which was pretty severe or something that the seller of the house should've informed us of but didn't. The first plumber that was sent out was not great customer service-wise. They only stayed for about five minutes and they weren't very open to talk about what the issue might be. They made a very quick assessment. We asked for a second plumber to be sent out and that one was great. However, it turned out not to be a plumbing issue. It was damaged tiles in the shower which isn't actually covered by the Home Shield coverage 'cause it's not pipes. That was a little bit annoying, and that's where the issue was, but it's not Home Shield's fault.

    We also had a cracked pipe in our garage. It was leaking every time we've used the dishwasher. A guy came out to evaluate that and he said he would get someone out to fix it in a couple of days. That was all to be arranged through Home Shield over a week now and the second person hasn't come out yet, even with me leaving multiple voicemails with them and getting in touch with Home Shield as well to try and get them to figure out what was going on.

    The claim submission process was very straightforward. We did it all on their website and it was really simple. The only issue we've had is the communication thing. Maybe Home Shield could be more discerning with who they partner with, 'cause it seems like we've had the experience of two different contractors now who've not been great. A better vetting process for the contractors that they use might not be a bad idea.

After two attempts, we were sent someone but the tech stated he had no experience, no tools, and wasn't sure what to do! He borrowed a ladder and took pictures with his phone. The report came back that pieces were missing allowing AHS to deny the claim. It has missing pieces due to the motor failure. The CSR was uncooperative and when asked to escalate to a supervisor was told no one was available and would be called back. As you might guess no one did! I wanted to ask for a 2nd opinion as the first company tech had no experience but now cannot get cooperation. The first referred company had no experience with whole house fans and and at least told us that driving the request for the 2nd company who seems equally inexperienced.

    American Home Shield wasn't beneficial at all. I was paying the $75 service fee multiple times to them and I got people coming out. But I'd still have to pay the rest to come out ‘cause nothing was actually covered. I've had them for a year and I've had it at my previous house also. When I first got the house, the bathtub upstairs was leaking. The guy who came out got on the ceiling and said that everything was good. But it wasn't good so I decided to call again.

    The whole process on my AC claim was garbage. I talked to the American Home Shield guy and told him that the issue with the AC was probably Freon. I asked if they'd do Freon 'cause if it was not covered then I didn't want the technician to come out and tell me that it was freon and I'd just be spending 75 bucks. Then the guy said that Freon was covered. So they sent the guy out. The guy got out here and he said that home warranty would only cover $10 of Freon and it'd cost me $1,000 to have this thing filled. So this was worthless. I just paid $75 for nothing. I just let it ride 'cause my contract is up and I don’t worry about working with American Home Shield anymore.

    My AC wasn't working, so I called AHS. It was already evening, so they told me that somebody would call me in the morning. The next morning, I got a call from the contractor and they made an appointment. They gave me a time frame, which was nice because I was at work. They also gave me 30 minutes notice when they were on their way. I came home, the person was here, and he fixed my AC. I left again to go to work. When I came back home in the evening, the AC wasn't working again. So I gave American Home Shield a call. Again, it was already after hours, so I was concerned that it would be the weekend and here in Florida you need the AC. But they told me that on Saturday somebody would call me. I asked if the person works on weekends but they couldn't tell me for sure. On Saturday, I got a call, was given a time frame, and the person came and took care of it.

    But even though AHS is open 24/7 and I can call them anytime with my issue, it sounds like for them to send us a technician, if it's after 5:00 or on weekends, you have to pay $50 extra. And for something like an AC, you need prompt service, so I was concerned. But thankfully, the technician worked in this area that Saturday with his son. I lucked out that he happened to be working and he came. But when I went to sleep that Friday night, I was worried that I had to wait until Monday because I didn't know that I wanted to pay the extra $50. I'm already paying the membership and I already paid the $100. Despite that, my first experience was great and hopefully, I don't have issues after hours or on weekends that I have to pay the extra.

    All in all, AHS is a new service to me, but I wasn't disappointed and I'm very glad that I signed up. And the nice thing is that you can cancel anytime. I know people who have the warranty and some people have great things to say, while others have not so great things to say about them. But that was not because of American Home Shield, it was more about the contractors that they use.

I was told by Home Shield as long as they have it functioning, that's what they were sent out there to do. I'm happy with it as it is right now because it's working. What was wrong with was the motor froze up and they fixed that.

    However, the compressor is still making noise and I thought that they would have somebody take a look at the compressor at the same time as replacing the fan. It was just a generic motor, not a factory one, which is what I was told from them is what they had. They would have had to order it for a few days and it was 112 and 14 degrees in temperature when it was going on. Other than that, it was good that they made a point to get it fixed right away for me.

    We submitted a claim online recently with American Home Shield and the website was good. American Home Shield let us know everything that they could on their end and it was on point to an extent. But with the contractors, there was some confusion. He came out and did the initial inspection of it, but he never submitted anything. So we had to call back four times to figure out what the issue was. They re-submitted the paperwork and then they had to wait on parts to come in. So, what could've taken a week took about three weeks. But everything's good. The stove that they put in works great. The guy that came and put it in did a great job. I also like the convenience of AHS. I just pay the deductible and they send somebody. For houses where everything is slowly going out of warranty, like those seven-year-old houses, it's good to have a back-up plan.

    I'm glad I have American Home Shield. It's been four years since I've dealt with them, but my husband's had it longer. When my AC wasn't turning on, I submitted a ticket online and they had Eisenbarth come and fix it.

    The claim was for a leaking shower that got into my wall. It went downstairs into my ceiling in my utility room. American Home Shield sent out a plumber and he did fix the leak. They were supposed to send out someone to do the sheetrock but no one ever showed up. We reached out but we didn't hear back so we ended up hiring a contractor to come out and do it because we have a house up for sale. We had a claim for our garage last year. The contractor couldn't fix the issue. We tried to call the contractor back but they hung up in our face. American Home Shield couldn't get us another contractor to come out and fix the garage so we ended up hiring another private contractor to come out and fix it. I invested more money into what I probably paid out. I’m disappointed in some of the issues that we had last year and this year.

    American Home Shield has gotten a lot worse over the years. When we first got them four years ago when we bought the house, our contract fee per month was only $45, and it's jumped up $30 in the last four years. Our service fee for someone to come out and to fix everything is $100. Now that they're taxing it, it's $109. They've never taxed it before, so I don't know why they're taxing it now. The guy also couldn't explain to me why they're taxing it. On the other hand, our dishwasher stopped working. It had no power to it, so I called and the rep was fine.

    Appliance 911 then texted us within 24 hours and they were great. They had trouble trying to figure out what was going on with our dishwasher though. They replaced one part and it still wasn't working, so they had to come back out one more time. The guy still couldn't figure out what was going on. He was out there that last time for four hours, and he ended up having to google what was going on with it and figured out how to get it to work. Now, it's fine. Appliance 911 goes above and beyond for their customer and I like them a lot.

    There was an air conditioning leak issue and the gentleman that came out for the service did an assessment on a leak outside that I thought was AC-related. The leak was something they said I would receive information about. It was something that the insurance probably wouldn't cover because of the kind of repair that would need to be done. I'm waiting for American Home Shield to send over the denial of the claim and go from there. That aside, they were great.

    American Home Shield is extremely efficient and affordable. I have no complaints about the service and I really like the service providers that they ended up sending out. For the claims that I had put forth, the providers were very friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable. They seem to send techs that really know what they're doing and they diagnose the issue. When I had a plumbing person come out, he was able to diagnose the issues in the three spots in a matter of two to three minutes. That was very good. The only thing is it would be nice if American Home Shield could expand the coverage more.

    American Home Shield is quick and effective. During the ordering process, they were right on it. The contractors that they have to do the work so far have been expedient and professional. I had a claim with the ceiling fans and that was fantastic. Recently, the motor broke on the AC and the contractor replaced it. However, it's not working. It's not cooled off like it had.

    I did a claim to American Home Shield for the boiler. The contractor inspected it and then it turned on. They were good. They opened the panel and then they checked it out. It's a fairly new boiler so they didn't have to do much except there was a loose connection. They didn't have to change any part. It cost me $100. I'm happy with American Home Shield's service.

    There was a leak for the back of the toilet. I think it was just the faucet for the shower. I thought it was a relay but it wasn’t. The faucet in itself wasn’t relaying for the tub. American Home Shield has a seamless process now. I just do it online, and then I get a call.

    There was a plumbing issue that was backed up, and it was coming out from the tubs and the shower. I told the gal that it was a clogged plumbing issue and she was helpful, but after talking to the contractor, she said that I need to say this the next time, and so, she explained it. These little extras seem to get the service that we really needed faster, ‘cause they had to rewrite the job order. But overall, the gentleman that came out did an excellent job. I liked just paying $100 service call fee because it was a lot cheaper than calling the actual plumber and getting charged 300. We have a couple other issues that I'm gonna need to call in. Now that we have the insurance coverage, it's peace of mind.

    When I first signed up for the policy, it wasn't clear. You'd think that you'd get like a printed package of what's covered. I had to go, search, seek, and ask for it versus just having it sent to me, hard copy. I like something in my file system versus that. It's like a life insurance policy. The last thing you wanna do is go looking for it. You want it to go right to it. It's sometimes hard to understand when somebody on the phone has a very thick accent. Then I call back and I'm getting a different name, but it sounds like the same person. I would ask who I am calling, it has to be internationally related. So I find that the English is okay, but the experience is not educated enough to just know what I'm talking about when I'm explaining a situation. But the service itself was really good.

    My dryer wasn't producing hot air. I made an appointment online through Home Shield for it to get looked at and went through an easy process. Their contractor called me quickly after I made the claim. He came early the next day and since then, the dryer has been working really well. AHS's coverage is worth the money we paid so we can have a technician come out quickly and have peace of mind that our problem will be fixed immediately.

    Whenever I have a problem, I just log on to my account online and select what the issue is, and go from there. Once I submit for a service call, Home Shield lines me up with a local vendor and they would either communicate through text messages or phone calls within probably a 24-hour period. It has been a pleasant experience so far.

    My door would randomly not operate properly. I could close and open it. Sometimes I would leave the house or go outside, but when I would come back and try to open the door, it wouldn’t open. And every time I hit the button, I could hear a buzzing noise. Talking to the #1 Garage Door technician, he said it sounded like a capacitor issue, meaning that the power was getting to the capacitor, but it wasn't going from the capacitor to the actual motor. And that's what I was hearing with that buzzing. They replaced the capacitor, and I haven't had a problem since. They replaced all the parts back to the mechanism like it was before.

    I had an air conditioning company come out earlier in the year and it was the same with them. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and explained the issues while I was having the issues. Overall, I've been pleased with it. At first, I didn't know if I could really trust the company Home Shield was setting me up with because I haven't used local companies before and have been pleased with it. But after going through the process, I haven't had an issue to complain about the vendors that they've used.

    One of my copper pipes burst or sprung a leak, and was squirting all over my garage. I went online to submit the claim to American Home Shield, and just pointed and clicked. I emailed my problem and they emailed me back to say that this person would be coming to my house at such date and time. Then, I got another text on my phone saying so and so was on his way. That was all cut and dry. The technician had a white truck and it was clean. He was professionally dressed, and he was clean and had a mask. He also kept his distance. I showed him the issue and he said he would take care of it and that he would knock on the door when it was done. And 20 minutes later, he did. I had a bunch of wet towels that I had used and he spread them all out on the garage so they could dry. He went above and beyond. I was very impressed.

    I put in a request for my dryer, microwave, and refrigerator all at the same time. But AHS didn't tell me that I could put a service request on more than one appliance at a time. Also, they kept sending the claim for all three appliances to Naab & Mohring. But Naab & Mohring told them that they don't deal with General Electric products and that they should get back to them again. Stupidly, they sent it back to Naab & Mohring after they had already been aware that that vendor doesn't deal with General Electric products.

    Then, I had to wait an additional week and a half before my dryer got fixed because they kept sending the whole order to Naab & Mohring. They finally decided to split the order, send the dryer to Naab & Mohring, and send my other two products to General Electric. Naab & Mohring was great. My dryer was making a loud screeching noise but since they came out, it's been fixed. General Electric came out as well and diagnosed my refrigerator and my microwave. They've ordered parts for my microwave but nobody has come back yet to put them on.

    I sent text messages to their technician this morning letting him know that the parts are here. I asked when are they coming back but I still haven't received a response. So, I don't know where I really stand. Until now, my refrigerator and microwave still remain unfixed. The claim dates back to the beginning of October and it's now the end of October going into November. AHS hasn't even called me to follow up on it, but they made sure they notified that I owed them $108.

    I canceled my subscription with Sears Home Warranty to come to American Home Shield, and they're all horrible to me. When I signed on to American Home Shield, they were also aware that I was canceling Sears Home Warranty to join with them. But once I got on board with American Home Shield, I found out that they are using the same vendors that Sears are using, so it was pointless. I could’ve kept my warranty with Sears. Their customer service horrible. You ask to speak to a manager, you never get one. You ask to speak to the dispatch team, they tell you no. As a customer, I don't think you should be denied, if anything, especially when they're taking money out of your account to keep this warranty going every month.

    We had a plumbing issue and the guy from Budget A/C came out. He was knowledgeable. He told me to call him if it's acting specifically ‘cause he's gonna do something else. Now, the water is not getting hot like it's supposed to. It didn’t stay lit. He said he was probably gonna change the thermostat or something that keeps the pilot lit. American Home Shield has been prompt. They don't keep me waiting for days on end. They kinda respond the next day and I like that. I'm not a handyman and it comes in handy as a single woman.
