    When I had an issue and Antech Appliances came out, I wasn't home, but my wife was. They fixed the problem, but she complained that the guy was banging really hard, which was just normal. He also didn't speak much English and there was a little communication gap, but that didn't really matter because he fixed the issue. For me, AHS is like an insurance policy for my heating and air conditioning. I pay 40 a month on average and then 100 if something happens. But someone could charge me a lot more just to fix my air conditioning.

    To put in a claim for my dryer's heating element, I called American Home Shield. I also have another claim, but the rep forgot to put it through. But she was really good about getting the claim for the dryer set up and done. Someone was sent out the next day and he was excellent. Parts had to be ordered, which I understand, and he came back. Sometimes you wait all day, but he was in and out. I was given a time slot of 8:00 to 11:00. He showed up at 7:30 and was out by 8:10. It worked out well and I'm happy so far.

    Wayne Hyde Plumbing came out when our drains backed up. Basically, the toilets, the tub and the shower had backed up. I called the number for American Home Shield and filed the claim that way. It was our first time and they were able to explain everything I needed to do. It happened on the weekend and they said we should be getting a call from the contractor. We also got an email right away with their information on it. Everything was good.

    The contractor was also very nice and friendly but they had to come out twice. After the first time, the problem actually happened again. So they ended up having to come back. They flushed it again and did some kind of hydro washing. Since then, everything has been good. But for one of the visits, they ended up not coming. They got stuck on a different call but they did reschedule and they came out the next time. They also gave us a discount because they didn’t make it the first time. So we were okay with that.

    In my first claim with American Home Shield, C Mayes Plumbing & Heating came out on the same day I submitted the claim. The contractor just evaluated the problem on a faucet outdoors then he reported to AHS, and AHS refused to cover it. He was professional enough but nothing's been fixed.

    I live in a mobile home, and my son was gonna change out the staircase. So we took out the old one, and in doing that, he could see under the mobile home that there was some water dripping from the main pipe. I called American Shield at about 4 o’clock, and they told me that someone would call me back. And the gentleman from Pruitt Plumbing called me that evening at 6:00 and told me they would be there the next day between 12:00 and 5:00, and he did show up during that time.

    I got a call from Pruitt Plumbing and they told me that the service technician would be there within 10 minutes and he was there in five. The problem was under my house and I just hoped that everything is fixed properly. He took a picture of it before and after he had repaired it and showed me what the problem was, because it was under the house, and I wouldn’t wanna get under there. Everything was perfect and I was notified in text messages from American Home Shield what was going on as well. So, very, very, very pleased with both the plumbing company and American Home Shield.

    My shower head was leaking and the shower was cold. I submitted a claim with AHS and my experience went very well. I got a call then the guy came out the same day. He fixed it and went away. It was one of the smoother experiences I’ve had with AHS. I’ve also had a case where they gave me a seven-day window and it didn’t end up being seven days. But that was the original response and that was ridiculous. In the end, it worked out in the end though and the guy knew what he was doing. Other than that, AHS is good. But they could improve on the timeliness of their response to customers because when you get into plumbing issues, you turn your water off and you got no water. Some of the issues are really important and they need to respond right away.

    The oven locked when we were cooking, so it caused a lot of smoke in the house. We couldn’t get it unlocked, so I unplugged the power to it and then I called American Home Shield the next day. That was Monday morning, and they said they would contact someone. I did not turn the appliance back on until someone was here, and then on Tuesday, Jeff from Canyon State Appliances came over. He went through and explained different things, which was helpful, and mentioned what we needed to do if it happened again. But everything has been working fine since. We’re very pleased that it wasn’t a lot of things and that it was a very easy fix. I was also happy that I got a good response.

    I like the fees at American Home Shield and I get a proper response. The technicians come out and identify what the problem is, then American Home Shield contacts me to find out what is covered and what isn’t. If they can’t resolve it, they contact American Home Shield to replace it. The service cost of $75 is well-worth it. I’ve only had one item that wasn’t covered, and that was a fixture in our home in Nevada, an area that’s about 60 miles outside of Las Vegas. We had a local technician coming out, but then American Home Shield went to people in Las Vegas. Other than that, I’m very pleased with them. The other home that I have covered is my daughter’s home, and when her washer broke down, they replaced it.

    Quick Flow did very well recently. I was able to get them out here on a weekend, thanks to American Home Shield’s help to get someone out. I needed immediate response and they called and told me they’d be out within an hour, and they arrived on time. In fact, they arrived earlier. They took care of the problem and made a recommendation. I followed up with them to send a camera down the drain to make sure if there was any problem because it’s a new home where the warranty just came off. They found an irregularity, and I turned that in to the builder to find out what was gonna go on. I was very pleased with their service and thoroughness.

    It seemed everything I touched went. When I submitted a claim for the air conditioner, we had some real hot weather at that time. A woman called me from Georgia and she had already seen the complaint. She wanted to be sure that I was okay. She said, "Now, we're gonna get everything just as quick as possible. Just be sure you're drinking a lot of water. Can we go ahead and get you an air conditioner that we could put in the window until we get yours squared away?" I could not believe that woman.

    I couldn't go with the air conditioner. I live in a condo and it's all sliding glass doors, and the windows that are in the kitchen are not where you could put that type of air conditioner, unless they have some other kind that you just put in your house. But I was so impressed with those people. From the time that it happened and by the time they got the parts and everything, it was probably a week. But the woman called all the way from Georgia and I even put her name for the thing for the man who came to help.

    They wanted to go ahead and check up at first. I joined Home Shield about six months ago and on my little iPad, it came up where they would go ahead and do that service. And so, somehow, it got off my iPad and I didn't do it at that time. And so, when I called, they said they would send somebody. There were some problems and they went ahead and they took care of all of them.

    Home Shield did wonderfully with my air conditioner. They also took care of my refrigerator. Excellent people. The contractor needed some extra help because my air conditioner wasn't working and it is up on the roof, which is slanted, and they don't do that anymore. The owner of the contractor came to my door and helped the original man to get that up there. I didn't know he was the owner and I said, "Sir, you people have been wonderful. How can I go ahead and tell your company?" He said "Here's my card. I'm the owner. I'll relay it." I said, "Oh, wonderful."

    I got the results whether it was a refrigerator or air conditioner. Also, the thing that I felt good about was, my husband had passed. I live by myself. Every one of the people who came had a name badge. They called before, rang my doorbell, showed me their badge, and I felt safe. You don't see family companies anymore. That was one of the things that I was very impressed with. Also, people came and checked, whether it was a phone call or a concern.

    I live in a condo with 84 people. And when I first got on the program, they said, "They're just taking advantage of a widow," and this and that. And I just said, "Hey, I have no other choice." I am telling all of them that said this and that, and they come and say, "Well, Beverly, how did this work out?" "Hey, this was wonderful." And I told them all about Home Shield. "You're kidding me." 84 people and anybody that I can go ahead and say how great Home Shield is.

George Boy Electric came out and repaired the electrical sockets that had gone out. There was one that had burned up and it had caused the other ones to go out in one room.

    When we were looking at some warranty companies, American Home Shield emailed and offered a discount. We’ve heard the name before and we were just ready to purchase so we thought we would try it. Submitting our AC unit claim online was very easy. The year that the house was built, the AC units had a funky system that gets clogged instead of the water coming out. It was something with the code in Flagler County. The technician was very knowledgeable about that. He told me why, how and what to do as far as maintenance. We were from up north so we never had encountered this type of problem where the water doesn't flow straight out of the pipe, which has angles. He was also very prompt and came when he said he was gonna come. He was also personable and professional. He diagnosed the problem quickly and fixed it.

    The water line above my air conditioning unit has been dripping for years, and I didn't know it. Patriot Plumbing came out to fix the waterline, and they were telling me they couldn't get to it. It had to have the trunkline moved out of the way, and that was when they found out about the hole on the top of the main trunk line. But I kept trying to get them back out there and they wouldn't do it. I had to get somebody else out there at my own expense to fix the waterline, and they were able to fix it right off the bat without having anything to move. So, whatever was Patriot was trying to get done did not need to be done. For the hole on the top of the main trunk of my air conditioning unit, American Home Shield sent out Amazing Comfort. They came in to fix that, and they did a great job. They were very responsive and they worked with me to help me get out of my house. They were awesome.

    American Home Shield saved me about $14,000. We had a service contract and a routine service call, so the first company came out to service our heater for the wintertime. They said we needed a whole new system. They also said that we could experience a CO2 leak, and they never even followed the state regulations which calls for them to put a red tag on the furnace and shut it down and tell us to get us out of the house. Jazz Aire came out and they said, “No, there’s nothing wrong with your furnace.” The fellow's name was Mark and he was very nice. I’ve already told the initial service company that if I find one more independent technician to come in and say that there's nothing wrong with the furnace, I’m contacting the state to try to get his license revoked. They're taking advantage of senior citizens.

    It would be great if American Home Shield just had service contracts, but I’d rather take the service and have to use American Home Shield than have them come out and inspect it to make sure the filters were good. Then, there’s less need for a claim. I also wish that they use recordings. I was trying to explain to them why I wanted them to come out for a verification inspection, and because they had the robo thing, I couldn't explain that. You can’t even get through to someone that’s real. But they had the technician here the very next day, so we can’t ask for better than that at this time of year. Also, we live in an over 55 community, and they're taking advantage of senior citizens ‘cause they know I can't get up in the attic. American Home Shield should also advertise that aspect of it since it’s also protection against these scammers out there.

    Hardy Plumbing did a great job fixing my garbage disposal. My only complaint is that they had fixed it 60 days prior but I had to call again because they didn’t do the job correctly the first time. Even the guy told me, “Why didn’t he change it the first time? Didn’t he see that it was leaking?” He knew from the start that he had to do something more than unlock it. So, it was two calls and two service fees before they fixed the problem. And this has happened to me twice that people had to come out for the same problem twice, and every time they would come, I have to pay $75. AHS should be considerate about that. If I call with the same appliance, they should at least give me a credit. I don’t mind paying half of it, but $75 a pop is a lot.

He said that I have one air conditioning unit that is a few pounds low on Freon and at the end of this year, they won’t be making that Freon anymore. He highly recommended that I upgrade my systems as soon as I could. The R22 is being phased out and they have a new one, and the systems are not compatible.

    Submitting a claim with AHS was very easy to do. And if you’re good with just putting something in on a website and don’t need to talk to a human being, per se, until the appointment is made, it’s good and has worked well for me thus far.For those people that like the human interaction, American Home Shield is definitely going away from that. They're very poor in terms of getting an actual person to contact but I've had very good luck with the contractors. They were, for the most part, really professional. I had an HVAC guy come out and he didn’t impress me. But when I had issues with the water heater, washer, and dryer, I was very satisfied with the contractor.

    When my washer was eligible for replacement, I kept going onto the website to get the appliance that they recommended for me. But they didn’t have anything in stock. And even after I called them, it took a while to find who to talk to about the out-of-stock washing machine. They told me to check back on a date that they have a shipment in, and they’ll have the washing machine in stock again. I went and checked on the day she told me that they would have them, and it still said out of stock, so I gave up. It was over 30 days of not being able to have a washing machine.

    I ended up having to purchase my own washer. However, the amount of money they gave for the washing machine is not realistic. I couldn’t buy the same washer for the amount of money they were reimbursing me for. So, we ended up spending more money than we wanted to do on a washing machine because we needed one. I had to submit the receipt, then they said it could take 10 to 14 business days to get the refund, and it did. I emailed AHS and got no response. I just had to count on the idea that American Home Shield is doing what they said they were gonna do. All in all, we didn’t have a washing machine for a period of time, and we were out of cash.

    Nevertheless, American Home Shield saved our butts thus far. I got it when we closed on the home ‘cause it was an older home and had older appliances. I would definitely recommend it to anybody that’s selling their home or buying a home for the peace of mind. And while it hasn’t been perfect, it’s definitely saved us some money. But for anybody with new appliances, I wouldn’t recommend it.

    I had an issue with a Kenmore refrigerator, but unbeknownst to me this particular Kenmore is made by LG. The first person came out, and they did all this business and said, “Oh, it needs a part, it needs a fan, it needs this.” They went back and then it was a couple of weeks I didn’t hear anything. So I called them and asked when they were coming. They said they don’t work on LG. I said, “Oh, when were you gonna tell me that? I didn’t know that.”

    So I called American Home Shield back and they said, “We got somebody else who’s gonna do it now.” So I called another person and go, “Before you come out, can I just tell you it’s this kind of refrigerator and it’s really an LG.” He said, “No, I don’t do those.” So I called American Home Shield back and they said they have another person that does work on those, but they were in another town. They only come to our town once every two weeks. I’m like, “They’re the only person around?” And they go, “Yeah.” I’m like, “Okay, that’s what it is.”

    So that contractor came out and ordered the part. The fridge needed a new control board business and that part took six weeks to come in. It was literally on a float boat from Korea. And so, the part came in and they installed it and he said, “It’s all good.” They then left. I’m actually in escrow on that house, so I’m not actually living there. I went back about a week later and knew it was not working. So I called them back out and he came out and he said, “Oh man, yeah, it’s not working.” And this was this Todd’s Appliance. They took a look at it and he said, “Yeah, it’s broken,” this and that, and then he said, “It’s probably the compressor now.”

    So now, the compressor’s out and this fan and another deal. So I said, “What’ll you do with it?” He said, “You probably need a new refrigerator. It costs too much to do all this now, you know? And a new motherboard to begin with as well as these other parts.” So, I said, “Okay.” So I let it go back to them. And then some time goes by and I’m just about ready to close on this house. With this Todd’s Appliance there was no sense of urgency. I call them and go, “Can you guys make this happen? Can you call the warranty people and see if you can maybe get this thing going?” And so they said, “Yup, we got it. All taken care of.”

    So I called American Home Shield and they gave us an option, to replace it or get a second opinion. I was like, “Okay, how does that go.” They wanted someone more knowledgeable about that refrigerator. Those were their words. I called Todd’s Appliance back and they said, “That’s not what we said.” I asked, “Well, how do I reconcile this? That’s what you’re telling me, that’s not what they’re telling me.” He was really not nice, “Don’t tell me how to do my job.” “I’m not. I’m just trying to get the refrigerator fixed.”

    AHS sent Alliance and they were awesome. They were super responsive, literally like within 15 minutes of me calling American Home Shield, they called me. They were the fourth group to come and to service the same problem, and they were the only ones that actually did it. They were really kind. They came right out and the guy actually assessed it. He didn’t just say this piece is broken. He actually got in there and said, “Did the other guy do this?” I said, “No. He didn’t do any of that stuff.” So, he went in and he goes, “Wow, it’s way too much voltage, it’s frying. This is really hot. And I can’t even tell what else is broken because it’s fried out,” the portion that actually does the internal diagnostics. He goes, “It’s totally shot.” I said, “Okay.”

    They called AHS and within a day a day I called American Home Shield and they said, “Yeah, they sent over the email.” And I did the business now for replacing it. And so, I replaced it and I sent them the receipt and I’m just kinda waiting the check. American Home Shield has been great. They’re always responsive when I call. The problem has been the service people that have been coming out. And it wasn’t until the fourth one, which was Alliance Appliance, who actually did what I would consider comprehensive assessment and then actually saw it through to make sure that it was gonna be reconciled in the end. Same with Alliance Appliance I have no complaints with them. They were great. So with those two people I had wonderful service. They were cool.

    American Home Shield has been great and they’ve been attentive to the problems. I also even have them on our other home now. I spoke with people several times and they have taken care of the situation. We had someone come out to look at the washing machine and the water heater, which is the biggest issue. When the person came out to do the water heater, the only thing was that he only turned up the temperature in the water heater. We still have experienced the water going hot and it would've been a gas hot water heater. We thought it should not run out of water like hot water in that way. And then one of the faucets wasn’t running hot water, but he took care of that when he came back. So, everything went well.

    Parrish Plumbing was completely professional, knowledgeable and timely. I can’t be more satisfied. The time frame was wonderful on the contractor’s part, though American Home Shield took a little bit to look at it and approve it. When I was making the claim online, it didn’t right off say that my portion of it was gonna be $125. That was fine, but that should have been stated early on in the claim, not at the end. And they don’t want you to call, they want you to do everything online. They also lagged a little on getting back with the contractor. But the second everything went through, the contractor was calling me, coming by and working me into a schedule. He felt bad for me ‘cause I didn’t have any hot water, and I really appreciated that. I have expectations, and he met or exceeded them.

    A couple of years ago, I was with American Home Shield for one year when I first purchased my house in Houston, Texas. Right now, I moved from Houston to San Diego and I just purchased another house. And since I’m satisfied with American Home Shield's service, I went back to them. When I was in Houston, the garage door opener broke, and their contractor came to take a look and replaced it immediately.

    My niece who has a master’s degree in teaching told me about AHS because with them, she doesn’t have time to worry. She said she'd I highly recommend AHS because when her air conditioner went out, the techs were there the next day and fixed it. I decided to go with them as well because we’ve been here 20 years, we’re 69 years old, we don’t have that kind of time or energy.

    My first experience with them was with the air conditioner. The fan would go off and on, yet the air conditioner was still running, but not blowing any air. I called them and the first two men they sent out here had no experiences to what they were doing. And it was in the middle of summer. I’m not an air conditioning expert but I knew it was the fan. I told them that they needed to replace the fan in the attic but they wouldn’t go up there. They said it was working fine while they were here, but I told them that it went off and on throughout the day and the evening.

    Aside from that, one of the techs said that he was gonna be here at 2:30 o’clock and I was waiting for him in the family room, but it was almost quarter to 3 o’clock when he came. He didn’t call ahead like they do now saying they'd be in your house within an hour and they tell you how you could track them. The company that AHS was using back then was very inadequate. Plus, a kid was answering the phone and didn't know what he was doing. So, I told him he needed to give his full attention to all his customers.

    In the end, I just called my old air conditioning friend that I have known for years. He came out here and replaced the fan. He said he was gonna put up a larger fan because if they were to come, they would have put the same size in. So, he did that and gave me a bill. Then, I canceled my contract with American Home Shield. But the next day, the recruitment department called me and the lady was very nice. She wanted to know what had happened, so I told her. She asked me to fax her the bill and they would reimburse me entirely because they didn't wanna lose me as a customer. She also said that she was glad that I told them about the company that they were using in the Phoenix Metro area because they've got other complaints as well similar to mine.

    Recently, whe washing machine was leaking and AHS sent a man out here in two days because it wasn’t urgent. We could still use it, but we had to mop everything when we ran it. So, he was very thorough. He called to ask what model it was as well as the serial number because he wanted to make sure he had the right pump. Apparently, he’d been doing that for years, which was good. And when he got here, he took the agitator apart and looked at it, then he ran a load with no clothes in it and he could see that the tumbler was off balance when it would spin.

    So, he took the agitator off, looked underneath, and replaced the six plastic little inserts that hold the agitator in place. But he said that the issue was with the pump, so he'd replace the pump. After that, we ran two loads and I put the washing machine on the long spin, and it stopped leaking. He also checked the drain to see if the leak was coming out of the drain, and it wasn’t. So, he was here for an hour then everything was fine.

    AHS also sent people to work on the toilet in the master bedroom where the water kept running though it was overflowing. The first guy that came out was in a real hurry and he seemed interested in what he was doing, but he didn’t see the whole thing out. But the other man that came after him was older and more experienced. You could tell that he really cared about what he was doing and he replaced the entire inside of the tank. He sat there and flushed it several times to make sure it was working and wasn’t gonna overflow. Also, when my water heater went out and started leaking, AHS sent someone out here the next day. he was very thorough. And the company called me and said that the heater was entirely covered, but Home Shield would not cover the new pipes to bring it up to code.

    As for customer service, when I called about the toilet, I spoke to a lady in the Philippines and I could not understand a word she was saying. She was trying so hard and it wasn’t her fault. When I asked for a supervisor that speaks English fluently, she said okay then she started talking like the Grand Canyon state. My wife said that she was not focused but I told her that the rep was just trying to be cute and talkative. Then after, I asked a guy from AHS why they had people on the phone trying to help their American customers when they couldn't speak English very well. And he didn’t really have an answer. I felt bad for them. It's ugly mark on customer service for Home Shield. Sad, but true. Other than that, if one of American Home Shield's customers refers someone and they go with them on contract to cover their home, AHS should give the one that referred them a bonus of some sort.

    I had a plumbing issue in the hallway bathroom. It was leaking from where the tub connects to the cast iron pipe from the foundation. This was all according to the plumbers who went out there. And because of that, the water was seeping from underneath the wall. Luckily, I stopped using the bathtub, so I’m only using the master bathroom. I called American Home Shield. At first, they wanted to provide me with this company, but they weren’t certified, so I requested a second one, and they did. And they were the ones that came out and assessed the whole situation. They were quick to get to the job. They were very courteous, very respectful, very thorough, and very professional.

    The first time, they went out to assess. The second time, they tried to fix the problem. But unfortunately, because they stated that we might have to go into the foundation. So, the job had to stop. The plumbing agency closed the case because it might be a foundation issue or they might possibly have to tear out the bits and pieces of the foundation to try to get to some of the cast iron and try to repair. Other than that, American Home Shield's service has been great. They gave me the option of cashing out. I was trying to negotiate, but there is a cost because of the fact that there’s a possible foundation issue. I understand that. But overall, they’ve done a very good job. They’ve been very respectful. They’ve been calling. So, I’m very happy with them.

    The air wasn’t turning on for the heater. When I submitted the claim online, the website was simple to use. The tech called the same day and he came out the next day. He was very good. He completed the job in about an hour and everything has been working since then. But I had one in the past that I almost left American Home Shield. It was a problem that dragged out for months. I was having service and they called, because it was a related service that they added an additional service. They got the approval code for that. They ended up sending two different companies so they billed me the $75 twice. So I called back and told them that I have this approval code and that they approved it to add it to the original one. Every time I called, they would agree and say that it was incorrect, but then they couldn’t resolve it. And it went on for months.

    I tried to escalate it. It got to the point of being bizarre because I would talk to people at AHS and I would insist on talking to a manager, and they would hang up on me. I absolutely had enough and I was gonna leave AHS completely. Finally, I called the main customer service number through the normal means. I told them what was going on, and then they sent me to somebody else who finally resolved the issue.

    We had a problem with the water heater that started with the water main break locally. We were getting dirty water and discovered that there were some cracks happening in the water heater. We went through the process with American Home Shield, and the guys from the plumbing place seemed perfectly fine, but it felt very classically that the insurance company was looking out for themselves, and not for me.

    We have had a top of the line water heater and I asked them what were they going to replace it with. I don’t want to get a Home Depot heater in here, and it’s an incredibly tight fit so I'm not sure anything but a replacement of what we have is even gonna fit. That seemed to fall on deaf ears, like, “Oh, well. We will go about to give you something of similar quality.” Also, they told me I have to pay the plumbing company the expert charges because they’ll have to move the water pipes. How is it possible not to have to move the water pipes when you’re installing a new water heater? It felt like this is their way to use me to cover the plumber’s time with these classic hidden charges. The whole thing was a very disappointing first experience with them.

    With AHS, I like that if I have something bad happen, I still pay only $75. With my downstairs heating system, that was trial error until they finally got the repair. If I had to do it, I might as well buy a new one. More recently, R.J. Wiggins Electrical, AHS' contractor came and knew what my heating problem was right away. It was the switch and I told him not to go anywhere until I heard my system go poof. He flipped the switch on and my system went poof and my heat was on. So far, AHS' contractors have done their job. I'm happy with them.

    We have been with American Home Shield since January when we bought our condo. The toilet started leaking, and I found out that the previous owner had installed some ceramic tile that was too thick. As a result, they did not get a really good seal with the wax ring. So, it cost us a bit to go back there and have that repaired. The tech who handled the issue did a great job then. More recently, the tech from Budget Heating, Cooling & Plumbing was here on time for a cleaning and an inspection. He got the furnace all checked out and gave it a clean bill of health in about 20 minutes. It was great.

    I had a plumbing issue one time and I called American Home Shield. However, it took too long for them to answer the phone. It was almost 20 minutes waiting for someone to answer. That didn't make me happy. Also, AHS penny-pinches too much every time we need something replaced. They don’t really honor giving me the best stuff that you need for your house. When we need something, it takes approval two or three times for them to honor something from the contractor. They should get originals instead of the generic parts that they’re giving us. Still, the service thereafter was good for my plumbing claim and their contractor took care of the problem.

    This is my first home that I purchased years ago and two months into the house, the ceiling started dripping. The inspection didn't do a full inspection of the house and they didn’t go up in the attic to see how bad the drip pan was. When I moved in, it started leaking from the ceiling so I had a mess here in the second floor. American Home Shield sent a contractor out and the rep was very informative. He told me about maintenance stuff for the house and what to look for.

    I had the drip pan replaced and cleaned, and there was an issue with that being clogged again. He took a picture of that and he recommended a coil cleaning on both systems, installing an overflow safety switch, Armaflex insulation on outside suction line, and upstairs unit secondary drain pan treatment to prevent leak, because it's rusting. He said that AHS will have a copy of his recommendations but it would be up to me to have additional work done if I wanted to. I said that I will AHS as a follow-up because I want to get these things fixed. AHS has been very helpful and their customer service is always excellent.

We have been told so many time "We will call you back within 24 hrs" with no call back, I've lost count.

    I wasn't too happy that American Home Shield didn't pay no more on what they did on the unit. This is the second unit in a year that I bought and nobody ever followed up with me on the first one, and I had a supervisor involved. It says in my contract that they would replace, but I don't know why they didn't pay no more than $1,000. The way my policy reads that they would take care of that, and then I wind up paying $3,000 on each unit. I don't know what the stipulations was but evidently, they must have paid for whatever and I'm paying all the other stuff. But I really don't care at this point. It's done.

    They could've explained to me a little bit better why they weren't paying no more than they did, when I pay a fee every month for about 20 years. Nobody called me back. The first supervisor never did any follow-up with me. He never called me back to have the courtesy of saying how they did it and what was not covered. But Rapp's is a good company, so I ask for them every time. I don't like the unit they put out there and it looks bulky away from my house. I don't like that it was far away from my house.

    I was looking for a coverage on my personal home, and I knew that this wasn’t gonna be tax-deductible. If it had been a rental property, that would be different. So price was a major concern, and I want full coverage over everything. Usually policies cost between $600, $700 with $75 upfront cost that I had to pay. With American Home Shield it came down to half price. I could cover everything, and the policy is 450. And it just means that I have to pay $100 instead of $75 upfront.

    Everything was great when they sent Calhoun Construction. I called AHS and the rep was very polite, very helpful and did everything I needed them to do to set up the appointment.

    My dishwasher went out and the guy who came was great and I was happy with him. He checked the dishwasher and he said it could be fixed but he would see if he could find the part, and they weren't able to. It was a Bosch and apparently, it’s not a very good brand to buy because they don't continue to make parts for it. American Home Shield decided that they needed to replace my dishwasher and the second group who came out had three guys with them. They installed my dishwasher and set it to run. As they left, it was running and after it ran, I went to load it up. As I started loading the dishwasher, it literally fell out of my cabinet.

    When I pulled the drawers out to put dishes in it, it fell forward. They just put it there and didn't bolt it in. For the second group of people, I had already given positive feedback so, I wasn't happy with that. They didn't know what they were doing. I couldn't even pull the drawers out to load it because it would fall forward and fall out of the cabinet. American Home Shield might need to look at the second group of people that came. The three guys didn't even have all the tools they needed and my husband had to find some tools for them. But other than that, everything was great.

    My home was built in ’89, so it’s fairly older, and I wanted to protect myself financially so I got a home warranty. I picked American Home Shield after I looked on the internet, and I've been with them now for about six months. When the washing machine needed repair, I filed a claim online and got follow up emails stating that I would be contacted by the contractor within 24 hours, which was pretty quick. And the service was good and efficient.

    I called American Home Shield when I was having a leak in my pool, and the guy that came out was efficient and he resolved the issue. On a claim I had before, though, they replaced a microwave with one that's not of the same size so it doesn't operate very well. It takes two hands to open it. But this time, everything is operating well and there is no more leak. I was really satisfied.

    I used American Home Shield’s web portal to set up the service call and everything went great with that side of it but the gentleman from All Brands was not knowledgeable. He told me that there was a part missing on the dishwasher and he said that AHS doesn’t cover missing parts, and he left. I called American Home Shield and explained to them that prior to the problem, it had been a brand-new dishwasher. It was installed here by Sears and they’d been in my house the whole time, so there were no missing parts. I said I would like a second opinion so, they sent out the second company. They said that if it was a missing part that was causing the problem, I would be billed for the second call but otherwise, the second company would just repair it at that time.

    The second company that came out was Casey’s, and they found that the gentleman who first came out was wrong. They fixed the problem and there was no additional charge to me. Casey’s is an adept appliance service and if I had to have someone come in the house again, I would request them. They’re one of the better service technicians who has come out and worked on anything here at my house. American Home Shield handled it and I requested the All Brands Appliance be noted on my account that I don’t want them coming back out at my house. In talking to some service techs in the area, All Brands is not one of the better companies.

    I had an issue over the weekend and I probably didn’t push hard enough as an emergency situation. I have a daughter who’s disabled and my washing machine went down and at the same time, I had a leak in my hot water heater. I put in a request online and the rep from AHS said that someone would call me within 24 hours and/or if I need an emergency care, they gave me a number to a company that was gonna be dispatched. I called that number and couldn’t get a hold of anybody. So, I cancelled the request and called my own plumber and had it handled.

    With my daughter, I can’t be without hot water and the washing machine. The washing machine ended up being handled in a very timely manner that it wasn’t an issue. It wasn’t a flooding situation but in our case, it was an emergency that we have to have services here at the house. I’m not able to leave because I gotta take care of things here. So, it would be helpful if there was a way for me to notate that on my account.

    I spoke to an American Home Shield representative because they made a courtesy call about a week after receiving my application. During the call, I said I bought a house that had a furnace that was over 20 years old, and I was concerned about the condition. They recommended that I have a furnace inspection, so they arranged it. North State Mechanical had two guys out and they were both very knowledgeable. They did what seemed to be a thorough inspection and fortunately, they found no problems. They had answers for all of my questions and I was real happy with the results of their visit. I recommended it to the buyers of the house, and they got the coverage.

    The house that I just bought is 34 years old so, all the appliances, except for the refrigerator, are 30 years old or older. Some of them weren’t even working and AHS replaced them after Tri-City came out, looked, and said they couldn't touch the appliances. I have had my cooktop, dishwasher, range hood, and a double convection oven replaced. I was able to pick the appliances that I wanted. They said either I could pick them and they would pay me a certain percentage of it or they could pick and they would deliver, install, and remove my old appliances. It has been a mixture of all those in what was needed and done. John at Tri-City Appliances is excellent, very knowledgeable, and quite a handyman when it comes to removing things, placing them, replacing parts on them, and fixing them. And I have only paid $75 for each time and just reaped many, many more savings in thousands of dollars passed that $75.

    On the refrigerator claim, there was a lightning strike and the refrigerator went out. I called, paid the amount, and they sent somebody out. The guy looked at it and got it working, but it was something on the motherboard, so they fixed it temporarily. Then, they ordered a motherboard and the motherboard itself would’ve been something like $400. They came back out and replaced the motherboard and we haven’t had any trouble with the refrigerator since.

    I have a very nice, wonderful house sitting on top of the hill and it’s like a lightning magnet. So, I’ve had a lot of electrical work done to make sure it doesn’t happen again, but if it does, I’ll be glad to call them and have them come back out and fix whatever’s affected. AHS is excellent and all their people are nice on the phone. I have a well and they even protected my well. I recommend them to everybody.

    My refrigerator wasn’t working and American Home Shield sent someone out. They had to order a part, the part came in and they put it on but it didn’t work. They had to reorder the part. They came back and put it on but it didn’t work again. After that, we opted to get the money for the refrigerator so that we could get something else. I pay AHS money monthly and nothing is resolved on the first visit. It’s always a hurry up and wait. That started October 6th and then by the time it was resolved, we were into November.

    I would like to not have to wait for a part to come in and I would like the companies that they send out have equipment to use to fix the problem. Every time we make a claim, we have to wait. We recently had a problem with a burner on our stove and we told the company that the information was incorrect, and whatever manufacturer the stove was, that they had to order this other part and not the part that it told them to order because we experienced that. But they did not listen to us. We knew that if they ordered the part on the diagram that it was gonna be the wrong part. We waited for that part to come in and for them to come out to look at it to see that it was wrong. It was four visits to fix one problem and I can’t stand that about it. If it were up to me, I’d cancel American Home Shield.

    I had to have a circulating pump replaced. Everything went great. I’m not thrilled that I had to pay out-of-pocket, though. American Home Shield paid for the pump, but they didn’t pay for the labor. Also, we had an air conditioner go out, and they paid like 1,500 out of the 14,000 that it cost us. It is what it is. But I would like them to cover more of it.

    The plumber was pretty good. They did cancel on me. They said they got the part in, then the day of the installation, they said it was the wrong part. I feel like they got a better plumbing contract with somebody, and then they put us off. But other than that, I was really happy with the guys. The two times that they did come, they were on-time, prompt and did a good job.

    The claim was open for at least two weeks. My husband wasn’t pleased with the timeframe. He said, “If we called the plumber, it would’ve been done.” He doesn’t feel like it’s done in a prompt fashion. When the air-conditioning went out, it took months to resolve. And we live in the desert. It’s 115 degrees. Luckily, we had a house to go to in cooler climate. He feels value for the money, ultimately, but there’s always the delay. And he feels we’re not a priority and that they’re gonna take someone who doesn’t have a home warranty over us. Also, AHS doesn’t cover our pool because it’s saltwater. Other home warranties seem to cover that.

Our experience with this one was good but the last experience wasn’t all that swift. I didn’t feel comfortable with the people that we were dealing with. I got another quote from another company to take care of our water leak and the quote that these people came up with was three times the amount. It just didn’t feel right. It felt like they were shifty.

    AHS should work on the timeliness of their repairs. The first repair that I had with the dryer a year ago, it took a lot longer than it really should have. When you have kids and the clothes pile up, there’s no way you can sit for two weeks without doing clothes. So, we were going to the laundromat, whereas if I would have called a repair company directly, I’m sure they would have gotten it done twice as fast. Because I've used a different one in our area, not the same problem but something similar, and the problem was rectified a lot quicker. So, AHS should expedite their service.

    Our heater went out. It is an oil furnace so it went out and it's cold, so we're trying to get it fixed. The first contractor that came out was not familiar with oil furnaces at all. They showed up and they looked at it and they said that they didn't know anything about oil furnaces. So then they left. We had to schedule for a new contractor to come out. The first interaction was not good. American Home Shield sent a second contractor who came out a few days later. And then the second contractor said that there was an issue with some sediment in our oil lines. And for that reason, since our tank is underground, that's not covered under American Home Shield. So he told us that the company can give an above ground tank and get new lines. It's like $3,200 but it would not be covered by American Home Shield.

    As a direct result, I called another HVAC company that's local, that I trust, and that is not associated with American Home Shield at all. And they told me that they find it hard to believe that the lines are completely blocked and they're coming out today to take a look at it. Ultimately, if we have to replace the tank and the line and it's not covered by American Home Shield, I'd rather go with a company that I know and trust rather than a subcontractor from somewhere else.

    Updated review: Dec. 24, 2019

    It took a while for AHS to do their due diligence but they came through in the end. I now believe firmly in the power of the pen. Thank you Consumer Affairs. The initial process of scheduling my repair and the work of the appliance company was fantastic. It was AHS Costumer Service that led to this review. They we unable to resolve my issue or provide any accurate information. After the review was posted Darika was allocated to my issue and she was fantastic. She kept me informed and worked to get my issue resolved. Thank you Darika !!. I still will only upgrade to 3 stars because I believe AHS needs to evaluate their first call costumer service. Our family will continue to use AHS. Thanks again Darika.

    Original Review: Nov. 21, 2019

    AHS does not pay the reimbursement if you decide to use the cash out option. I opted for the cash out option because we wanted a different dryer than they were offering. We provided the receipts to AHS on Oct, 4 2019. AHS did not process them until OCT, 14 2019. It is now Nov, 21 2019 and we still have not received our money. In their options letter to us it stated we would receive our money in 14 business days. It has now been 27 business days and they know nothing of the check. I have called multiple times and wasted countless hours on hold for them to tell me they are going to escalate. But nothing has been done to rectify this.

    They take the money out my account promptly every month but fail to uphold their end of the deal. Seems like another shady insurance company prolonging their end of the deal. We live on a budget and this money is very important to us as i am sure it is with most families. Just want people to know what they are getting into with this company. Worst customer service ever, even worse than the cable companies.

    American Home Shield denied my A/C unit repair due to “vandalism” on 11.20.2019. The event happened when my A/C got the problem. On July 13, 2019 when first time my A/C stop working, I called AHS, the representative send Contractor A ---LA Standard HVAC started the repairs due to no cool air produced, finally A condenser and 4 pounds of Freon was replaced on August 2, 2019. During the service period, Contractor A lied to both AHS and me about the no shows on the scheduled appointments, exaggerate the findings, poor services and unbelievable charges I have to pay except the insurance part of $485.

    On October 23, 2019, with the same problem as happened in July 2019, AHS dispatched Contractor B --–True Master Inc. the True master Inc. checked but did not got it work on October 25, 2019, Then Contractor C --–The Advance Heating and Cooling Company was dispatched on November 2, 2019 --- and Contractor A with multiple times just to diagnosis the problem. Since the Contractor B reported to the AHS said my A/C unit is not repairable and need replace with a new unit. AHS fired Contractor B. Considering that my unit first time was repaired by contract A and also because of Contractor C don’t want do the service. Contractor C said Contractor A should be responsible for continue the service. Then AHS dispatched the Contractor A again to diagnosis. Three Vendors, total 7 times, including 2 times transparently/without any notice and appointments from Contractor A.

    Finally on 11.19.2019, the contractor A told me “no worries, we will take care of your A/C” in less than 5 minutes upon arriving. When I asked what the problem is and why so fast, the tech said he came a week ago and someone cut off the wires and took off the caps, so the entire unit is damaged. He also pointed that He left a measuring on the unit to prove he was there before. He suspected the services vendor did before him. He assured me that AHS will find out who did it and who will respond for the repair/replacement.

    Suddenly, On 11.20,2019, AHS informed me that the AC repair claim is denied due to vandalism. I asked AHS what happened and why is “vandalism”. AHS said that’s based on Contractor A’s report. So I quested AHS to provide those 3 reports from those three visiting services vendors, but AHS representatives refused. Since the first 2 contactors didn’t, never mention that wires were cut off and missing caps at all. Both contractor A and I truly believe that AHS should be responsible for this “vandalism” since that’s multiple services contactors dispatched by AHS. AHS should be respond for my AC repair/replacement the first time and current one according to my policy plan, total more than 12 times my time loss. I request a total of $ 8020 settlement that including: A/C repairs and/or replacement, and my time loss compensation.

    I bought this house on April 1st, and I had it inspected. We moved in on April 1st. And I had the gas company come in and check the heater and turn it on because they had to turn the water heater on. We’re transferring over service. And the guys said that they couldn’t turn on the gas because it would leak, and I needed to get that fixed before I hook up the gas line. I told them I don’t need the heater on in the summer time. It was already weather changing. So they hooked up the water heater, but left off the furnace.

    I told the guy that was sent by Home Shield to check the unit thoroughly. The guy that installed this had five years experience when it should’ve been the guy that had 25 years experience. It’s just an air that’s open, and they should’ve caught this during the installation. It was just the bottom of the vent. The claim was a starting point for me, knowing what the unit’s about. So I was very satisfied and happy. I know what’s going on and what to watch out for. The unit’s brand new, and it’s a furnace.

    The only thing is Home Shield sent two companies. I was at work and I couldn’t answer the phone. They said they wanted to schedule an appointment. So the first one, I scheduled it. They said the tech would be between 12:00 and 2:00, and he was here at 12:00. And then I got asked later on what time would I like them to come over. I told the the guy was here already. So, I guess it was open for anybody who wanted to come over here. That was the confusing part. But once I got it done, I found out what it was about.

    The tech who came out explained to me. He talked to me and told me he wasn’t gonna charge me because it was a simple repair, but that Home Shield was gonna charge me $75. He also said, “I’m glad you look at it like that. Other people would raise hell about it.” He was really nice to me. I set the furnace up at 78, and it kicked on. And it was really quiet, and it warmed up the house really quickly. But that was just a test. It hasn’t really been cold. So, we really don’t need it. Gas warms up the house right now. Overall, Home Shield treated me nicely. I’d recommend them.

    My contract number is **. I previously complained about Ace Garage Door Repair and Installation, who not only did not fix the problem, but tried to get me to buy $150 worth of new rollers for the garage door. I called a local company who came and fixed the opener for less than the $75 service fee I paid AHS. I also complained about Perry Mechanical when they failed to appear for an appointment. Not even the courtesy of a call. They eventually came a couple of days later and did fix the problem at hand.

    I had another AC problem which caused me to contact AHS again and they again assigned me to Perry Mechanical. They diagnosed a condenser leak and took the condenser to the shop for repair a week ago. When I called today, Perry said perhaps by Friday. Another poor performance by an AHS service provider. I am now seriously considering cancelling our warranty plan due the AHS inability to attract and retain competent service providers. Frustrated customer, Paul **

    I had AHS for years and they would cover your standard, low priced fixes and maintenance. However, whenever it was something that they were supposed to cover according to their contract, they would find some loophole to say they won't cover it. Example 1: Refrigerator door hinge broke on a Viking Fridge. The repairman they sent even said "I never work on Viking" but would only tell us that AHS would contact us about fixing it. AHS contacted us and said it was due to abnormal wear and tear and was our responsibility. I asked them what that meant and if they thought we swung from the doors or something. They only offered someone to give a second opinion that would ultimately give the same assessment. I reached out to Viking and they checked the serial number and said there was a recall because those hinges broke and sent someone out to fix it for free!

    Example 2: The dishwasher wasn't washing well. A repairman was sent out and he said he found a hole in a hose at the bottom. I was unable to see a hole from his phone's picture but trusted him that it was there. He proceeded to say the hole was created by a rat and it would not be covered. I told him there are no rats in the house and even had him check and note on the invoice that no droppings were found anywhere. There was absolutely no evidence of rats but I guess he needed a reason to deny the claim and something that makes sense like the vibration while running causing rubbing against another object would probably. Make too much sense.

    Example 3: The HVAC unit was not blowing cold air. Just before it went out, we heard squealing from the copper hose and, when we checked, we found it had bent and caused a crack in the piping. We pointed it out to the repairman but he decided to climb onto the roof to check the unit. He proceeded to explain that someone had taken off caps from the HVAC unit on the roof (we never sent anyone up there so we must have purchased the house that way many years prior plus it wasn't the cause as we had already found the cause) and so it would not be covered. Big surprise.

    We were paying a good amount every month plus $75 or so for every time a repairman would come out just to tell us it wouldn't be covered. It was obvious to us we had been wasting our money. Our money would be better spent doing our homework (i.e. recalls) or purchasing new equipment or *good* repairmen (every repairmen come from third party companies, all of which have extremely low ratings on yelp, google, and other sites). My recommendation is that you save your money. The cost for maintenance or minor repairs (seemingly, the only thing they covered) would be far less than the monthly payments I had put into this terrible company.

    The air conditioning never went lower than 87 and the filter needed work. It needed some kind of a liquid on the outside, but I only needed one instead of two. The tech from AC Blue Air was very professional. The heater never went past 76 and I wanted it 84 ‘cause I can’t stand the cold, and he said the original heater was too small so I’d have to buy a whole new one. Now, it stops at 75 which is okay. Also, when I used the garbage disposal, it was backing up and wasn’t clearing. I had to get my own handyman and we capped it. He discovered what was wrong with it, but he couldn’t do it 'cause he was not a certified plumber so I called American Home Shield. I am glad I have them.

    We've had American Home Shield for a long time. We've had issues with them in the past but lately, they've been getting better. Most of the time, the customer service is relatively decent in terms of turnaround. They usually get folks out pretty quick. Although sometimes, the companies that they hire aren't all that up to snuff in terms of answering. In general, four out of five times, the guys will be quick and they would turnaround stuff pretty quick. Occasionally, they would get a guy that just doesn't answer calls and it's almost impossible to get ahold of.

    When you get on their website, it's very hard to talk to a human being. And then, when you try to get something done, they have procedures in place that make it almost impossible. I wanted to email them back something, and they said, "No. We have to mail you this form, and then you have to fill out the form and send it back." It was gonna add a week or two to the process, where we could've gotten it done in a day if I could've just emailed it back to them the same day. It's archaic processes like that that are problematic.

    They should make it easier to talk to a human when you have questions rather than try to go online. Their website's relatively byzantine. You have to go through multiple fields half the time to find the office that you're looking for to talk to. I tried three different logons with them to get to what I'm looking for, and then it appears it's a different URL, but it all runs back to the same place. Fifteen years ago, I had a major issue with them where they did not fix an air conditioning unit for me, and it cost me 13 grand out of pocket. I finally got some money back, but it was multiple years later because of the class action suit.

    The people at Home Shield were good. They've been fair with me. Their deductibles seems to be fair. The only thing that is kinda bad the location of my home is located. It's kind of at the very south point of the county, so it is hard to get somebody to commit. Sometimes, it may take an extra day or two to find a contractor to commit and go down here. The major area where you're gonna find all of the contractors is about a 60-mile drive. So I don't blame Home Shield for that. I get it. When I had a heating concern, it took a few days to get somebody, but they pulled through and they got somebody, and I'm totally fine with that.

    They've sent out Jets Electrical for a claim and they were awesome. I've had them out for a previous repair on a different issue, and they were good.

    We had trouble with the inside unit of the HVAC system as it was making unusual noises. As I prefer the phone, I called AHS and their reps have been really good. Then, Nova HVAC came out and the tech basically tracked the noise down. He did his job, he basically told me what needed to be fixed, and then he went out to his truck to get the part. He fixed the problem and that was exactly what we wanted. We're pleased with the AHS service all the way around.

    I thought American Home Shield's contractor was coming to fix the leaking pipe, but they just sent someone to observe what was wrong underneath the house. He did a good job of that, though. He took pictures, wrote up a diagnosis of the issue and then told me that it would have to be submitted to American Home Shield to see if they would fix my leaking pipe. In about 24 hours, American Home Shield called but I wasn’t able to take it, so they left a message. They said they would not cover the cracked and leaking pipe because the brackets that had held the pipe had not been secured properly and over the course of time, gravity had made it insufficient to hold up the pipe. But that’s why I had insurance. I don’t crawl under the house. And I don’t understand why they wouldn’t fix a leaking pipe and bolster these brackets up again.

    It seemed like I had been paying monthly payments for this protection but they came up with an excuse not to fix my plumbing when I needed it. They said, “Protect your plumbing, your electrical, water heater, etc.” And I also had to pay $125 for this plumber to do his diagnosis that they would decline. I have since called a contractor, because I have to have the pipe fixed, and I was given an estimate. Of course, this is a more expensive repair. They told me that I could pay their plumber out of my pocket, and the charges for that were 50% more than the estimate I’ve been given by a general contractor. I had also called American Home Shield for a minor toilet repair, which they did, but I also paid $125 for that. I’m sure they made money on that deal.

    My refrigerator stopped cooling sometime in October and I called American Home Shield. They referred me to Express Appliance and a gentleman was sent out. He took a look at the refrigerator and said that the compressor was still working but something else was going on so they need to send out a certified technician. Another week went by, I waited for the certified technician and he came out. He looked at the compressor and he said that I need a new compressor. He pushed the refrigerator back, he left and the plan was for them to order a compressor for me.

    Another week went by and in the interim when he left, when I walked into the kitchen, he tore the vinyl flooring when he pulled the refrigerator out or when he pushed it back. So, I called Express Appliance and told them that the very nice young man tore my flooring. I was instructed to take pictures and send the pictures via email and I did. I never heard back from anybody and started calling the home warranty people to see if they could find out something for me. They were useless. I got a lawyer involved and all of a sudden people were doing their job.

    The third Express Appliance man came out and the compressor had arrived at my house. I told him that I was gonna run out and get some coffee. When I came back from getting coffee, he was gone. I walked in and I asked my mother where he went. She said she didn’t know and that he was there. I told her that he was gone and I called the appliance company. The person said that the technician didn’t feel like he could move the refrigerator because he didn’t wanna further damage the floor. I asked why he didn’t tell my mother that he was leaving. They told me that he tried to tell her but she didn’t understand him. We’re Spanish, so he was implying that she had this thick accent. I’m a college professor and my mother is an educated woman. She understands English and Spanish beautifully so, there was no communication problem. He never said goodbye to her. He sneaked out of the house and his behavior was a little suspect.

    Now, it’s beyond three weeks. I called the lawyer and told him what was going on. Finally, after a lot of emails back and forth, AHS issued me the money to get a new refrigerator. I was without a refrigerator for over a month and living out of ice coolers. I purchased a new fridge and I got the reimbursement check from American Home Shield. I was given an allowance of up to $1,500. They sent a gentleman out to assess the damage to my floor. He came out on a Saturday, he measured and left. I have yet to hear anything on when they’re coming out to replace the flooring that they damaged. So, it’s still not resolved.

    The rep came out a couple of Saturdays ago and it has been over a week I haven’t heard anything. So, I’ll be contacting my attorney again. American Home Shield kept telling me that this is between me and Express Appliance. But AHS is where the buck stopped and they’re the company that I have my home insurance through. This was coming from Brenda, one of the administrators for American Home Shield.

    I’d been with AHS since I purchased the home in October 2017 and it’s coming on two years. I purchased the home insurance because I’m a single mother. I’m a professional. I’m a college professor and I don’t tinker with plumbing and anything to do with all the different appliances and systems that American Home Shield covered. I don’t pretend to know how to fix those things, which is why I have coverage. My son just became a real estate agent and he told me that he will never recommend American Home Shield. We’re not finished with this ordeal. So, I’m not going anywhere until this is finished. And even then, after it’s completed, let’s see what happens.

    Home Shield sent out A.R.T. and they were pretty amazing. They did whatever their process is in diagnosing the problem. They kept me abreast of everything that they were doing before they did it. And once they were done, they had me to sign up, told me about the warranty on the work, and how to do any follow-up actions if I needed to and if something went wrong based on the part that they replaced and the service they provided. The two gentlemen were very professional. I was highly satisfied.

    I am a single woman and I’m not familiar with a lot of repair folks to come in and out. I don’t wanna pay in increments. I just like to go on and get it out the way so it’s done. American Home Shield has been very handy. I know whatever the problem is, I can get it done. Recently, the door that lets the ice from the ice maker come out of the freezer for it had broken. The freezer was also getting frosty with ice because air was getting up in it. I filed the claim online and the website told me who the company would be and that they would contact me within 24 hours or so. Stuart’s Appliance arrived and the serviceman who came out was absolutely wonderful, personable and professional. When he realized he couldn’t do what he needed to do, he told me exactly that he would order the parts and it might take a couple of days to get the part in.

    Unfortunately, it was a holiday weekend that time and the place he normally orders his part from was closed up for two days. But then, I found out that American Home Shield actually ordered it which took a little bit longer. However, I got my part and he told me how to keep that air from going up the chute and frosting up my freezer. Everything’s been fine since then.

    We bought the house in June and we've had it covered with American Home Shield since July. The previous homeowners were not gonna get a warranty for us and we have an older air conditioning system. We wanted to make sure that it was covered and if anything would happen, such as the furnace going out. We had AHS for our last home and the name was put to us before. I did a quick warranty search and AHS looked familiar, and we selected them. When our furnace went out, I submitted a claim online to AHS. It was confusing at first. I think there was a delay in the email or I just didn't see the email. But eventually, the contractor called me within 24 hours. When the technician came out, the original part that he put on didn’t completely fix the problem and the other part that he believed was wrong that was needed to be fixed, he wasn’t gonna have the part put. He had surgery the next day, so he wasn’t able to complete the service all the way through.

    We have a claim that's been going on since June about our ceiling fans. We had an electrician come out and checked the fans. He said they were broken and we needed new ones, and then I hadn’t heard from him. I was calling back and forth with American Home Shield, and then they sent me another electrician which came to the same results. Then he never put in a claim. He texted me that he was injured, and it might take longer now, so he was not able to come out and fix it. So, my ceiling fans are still not fixed. I talked to American Home Shield two weeks ago, and they'd always tell me the same thing, they have to leave a message with the contractor, and then they have to wait and see, and then I have to call back, and then I have to call them again. It’s always back and forth until something happens and they never call me back.

    I guess it kinda depends on the contractor you’re gonna get if they follow up with the instructions they’re supposed to do. That’s probably the biggest problem. The only thing I wish American Home Shield would do is that if they could follow up with me more often, or with the people, especially if my claim’s ongoing since June. But I always have to wait in line, I always have to call them, and then nobody follows up on anything.

    We already had American Home Shield in our first home. This is our second home now. There were a few things that broke down on us when we moved in, and then American Home Shield was fabulous with everything. They replaced it, and they fixed it. I was really satisfied with the company until the issue with my ceiling fans happened because it’s been a really long wait. We’re really disappointed right now.

    American Home Shield referred us to NW Sundance Services, but they couldn't come out for weeks, so I called them back and they sent us somebody else. They called me Sunday about an appointment on Monday. They still had me down even though I was told that that had been cancelled and transferred to another plumber. And the other plumber came out the next day and fixed the problem.

    I have had a few different issues that I’ve gone to the warranty company for lately. And they’ve been great. When the plumbing company said, “We can’t be up there till December,” and I’m like, “No, I need this done now,” they quickly got me another plumber who came up the next day. The process of submitting a claim is very easy because you can do it online. And then on one issue, I wasn’t sure how to put it online, so I called them and they helped me over the phone.

    I’ve been happy with everybody. The contractors have been great. All the workers have been fantastic. I have a house full of animals. So, we’ve been shutting dogs away here and I always tell them, “Make sure the door is closed ‘cause the cats will get out.” They’ve all been really very helpful, explaining what's going on. I’ve got a few things that they couldn't fix, and I got them new. And they pretty much explained the process like on the dishwasher. I had that replaced. And the guy explained that my dishwasher’s very old and he couldn't find the piece.

    But I asked, “Does that mean I’m getting a new one?” He goes, “No. We send it back to the warranty company and they will try to locate the piece ‘cause we don’t know yet. It usually takes about a week for them to do the research, and then somebody will get in touch with you.” He explained it even though he wasn’t with the warranty company. He knew exactly how it worked. So, that was really helpful.

    When we bought this home in 2017, it came with the warranty. When it came out for renewal, I definitely renewed it. And this year, as things are breaking, that has really paid off. So, I would encourage anybody, if you’re buying a home and you’ve got these appliances, you don’t know how old they are, that warranty is so worth it. And they don’t jack you around. I think that’s what most people go on paying all this money and there's no guarantee. I can understand where people would be hesitant. But 2-10 has really been great for us, so we will probably keep it for a very long time.

    So American Home Shield, I have had them for 4 years or so now, paid every month, and only had to call them one time to have the air conditioner looked at. Set up the appointment, a great technician came out, fixed what was wrong, and no problems. Recently my washer broke, so I took it apart, figured out what was wrong and that it was going to be most likely needing to be replaced. No worries, set up an appointment, a great technician came out looked at it, and also agreed most likely it would just be replaced as the fix would be expensive and time consuming. So I figured no worries, it would not take long, after 24 hours I looked and it says "authorization under review" and after a full day I figured this would be pretty easy to have a decision from them.

    So I called customer service to see how long I would be waiting on an answer from them. After going through the automated phone service to find my contract number. A lady on the phone immediately asks me for the exact information I just put into the automated system. I was obviously irritated that I was being asked for the same information twice, no problem though, the lady literally hung up on me. Ok...great, it was going to be this type of customer service experience. Called back, next lady again did the same thing, and I asked why they need my information again if I just put it into the system? So her response was clearly scripted, and she did not know how to answer me according to her script, so she kind of muddled through responding without answering anything.

    She immediately again asked for the same information, and after being hung up on one time already, I just asked to speak to a supervisor. After asking three times, to do this and her continuing to try and not let me do that, she simply stuck me on hold and left me on hold. Eventually I hung up to write this review. Currently trying to get an answer to a very simple question from someone on their "live chat"...so far, it does not appear this will be much better.

    So in Summary, they go through great technicians, but not surprisingly, their customer service seems to be miserable to deal with and about on par with Comcast. And I am seriously hoping that they don't take a week to make a decision of which I am just waiting to figure out if I need to go buy a new one or not... That would be very irritating.

    Since purchasing our Home Warranty with American Home Shield, we have made two calls for service in the 6 months that we have has it. The first was when our HVAC unit was struggling to keep our home below 82 degrees. The contractor that AHS called was more than sub-par and had to come from over 30 miles away to even take a look at our issue. The contractor had no interest in staying longer than 10 minutes to diagnose the problem because as he said, "they tie our hands as far as what we can do". His diagnosis was to remove the Hepa filter that I had replaced just a few weeks prior with a cheaper one, close the shades in the house, and hope it gets cooler outside.

    The second contractor sent was a plumber. We needed a shower handle replaced because it had complete fallen off and could not be put back on enough to operate the valve. We had done what we could to shut the water off and keep it from running. The plumber that was sent (again from outside of our area by 20 miles) said that our plumbing was old and they could only put the handle back on and that I should hope that it would stay. He said that the valves should be replaced in order for it to ever work properly but that kind of work was not covered.

    So if you are looking for a warranty that actually covers your home, go elsewhere. The services that have been offered to us, have been with contractors that have had limited resources, limited abilities, and came from areas well outside any reasonable service range. AHS was glad to take our money for each service call deductible (Which had to be paid before you get off the call with the AHS agent) as well as for the warranty itself with the hopes that the buyer will just get frustrated and stop calling them.

    I purchased American Home Shield Home Warranty for the first year we moved into our home. The first two times I requested service for non-emergency repairs, their contractor responded quickly and I was satisfied with his service. The third time I requested service it was an emergency. Our main waterline into the house busted spewing water everywhere. We were able to shut off the water supply at the meter which stopped the water from spewing but we were now without water in the house. I called AHS to submit a service request and their contractor informed me that he was unavailable to come out until the following week. AHS then gave us authorization to use a licensed approved outside contractor. We followed all the required steps including the outside contractor speaking with AHS to explain the problem over the phone and what he did to fix it.

    I was instructed by the AHS Outside Authorization Department to submit the invoice using a specific email making sure to include my contract number, the authorization number and reference number given to me by the AHS Outside Authorization Department on the invoice. I did as instructed and emailed the invoice on Sept. 10th, the day after our pipe was fixed. I kept checking the AHS website for a status update on my service request and it said authorization under review. I called on Sept. 30th for an updated and was told they didn't have my invoice in the system and to email it again, so I did. I again kept checking for a status change to my request and nothing. I called again and said they still haven't received my invoice so I sent it a third time. This happened one more time and finally on Oct. 2nd they said they received my invoice and it is under review.

    I watching the website for an update to my request status (it never changed) and calling every two weeks hoping for an updated. Finally, on Nov. 6 I spoke with someone who told me my reimbursement was approved and the check had been mailed out and I will receive it on Nov. 8th. I also went out to check the status of my request the website and it now showed "Status: Complete". When I didn't receive the check on Nov. 8th, I decided to give it a few more days thinking there may be a delay with the mail. Nov. 20th and I still haven't receive the check. I call and now being told that my invoice wasn't approved until Nov. 18th and it will take 7 to 10 business days to receive it. I was very upset and explained what the previous person had told me and of course he couldn't explain why I was misinformed.

    So here I am, over two months later waiting (again) for a reimbursement check that is supposedly in the mail. I have wasted entirely too much time and energy trying to get updates and reimbursement for this service request. Every time I call I have to explain the entire situation over and over again so that the numerous customer reps. I speak with understand what is going on. Not once has anyone from AHS reached out to me to let me know my invoice was received, approved or when I can expect reimbursement. At this point I can't say I will be renewing my home warranty with AHS nor will I recommend them to anyone.

    I planned to switch home warranty companies because I wanted coverage of appliances and my plan with AHS didn't cover appliances; I had found another company with better rates so planned to switch. When I called to cancel, the associate talked me into upgrading my plan with them to one that would cover appliances. She said she could apply a discount that made the rates on par with their competitor. I agreed. After my initial payment, I received a contract from them that showed appliances were not covered. When I called to inquire I was passed from person to person, told no one could help me or refund the payment I had already made, so I would be transferred to the cancellation department. The system then hung up on me. I've now wasted an hour of my life with this company and am still on hold waiting to talk to someone to cancel my policy.

    I’ve paid for AHS for about 4 years now. I have utilized them maybe two times a year and with the exception of the ice-maker in my freezer, they have denied every claim and left me paying out of pocket for the entire repairs PLUS their $75 per service fee. Just take the $60/mo that you would pay them and save it should something come up.

    We could hear our furnace running but it wouldn’t blow the hot air. We tried to turn the heater on and it wouldn’t work. We've had our warranty for a year because we bought our home not long ago. We filed a claim with AHSand this was our second one. We did our claims online. Once you have your account set up and everything, then you click on what you need to say that is wrong and that’s pretty much it.

    The response time after we submitted our claim was very good. On both times, it was within hours. For our garage door, it was the very next day that the contractor came out, but I had a response within that day. For our furnace, it was two hours later. AHS sent out Northeast Mechanical Services for that claim. The technician was very knowledgeable and I liked that he took the time to explain things to me. He didn’t brush off my questions. He showed me what he was talking about. He was very prompt, personal, and nice. Our heat works now.

    The furnace wasn't firing. You can hear the gas going off, but it wasn't igniting. I called AHS on a Saturday morning. I called back on Sunday, and on Sunday they said the same thing, that it was in for expedited, but nobody had called me back. We didn't get anybody out here till Monday afternoon. The contractor said the problem was minor and he fixed it rather quickly. I just wish we could've got someone Saturday afternoon-ish because it was the coldest night that we've had. We hit 30 and we never get that low. We had two nights and I have a nine-year old with no heat. If it was just gonna be in the 40's, 50's, we wouldn't have cared that much. They should've had other company, but they didn't have much to choose from.

    I've had issues with American Home Shield before. They get annoyed when you're asking for something, especially when you don't call like a whole year. And if you read reviews on some of the contractors, it looks like the only reason they're getting jobs is because American Home Shield is giving it to them. I had one guy that every time he came out, there was a different problem that would break. It got to the point that we just gave up, stopped calling and bought new washers and dryers out of pocket because it was getting damaged.

    To get something done, it's like you have to jump through hoops for people to even send the work order out. I've already paid them more for a brand-new washer and dryer set just with the $75 hit each time. You have to pay $75 just to have somebody come out. With the first three months membership, it was free. I was paying $75 five times for the washer and dryer claim and the set never got fixed. They wouldn't replace it and they kept sending people out. They paid $2,000 for the dryer, to get a new drum, to get rid of this and that. It would've been cheaper to buy a new dryer. I have the old school washer and dryer and they're like 400 a piece. If you're spending $1,000 and it's not getting fixed, just squash it out. It doesn't make business sense to pay to fix something if it's worth less to buy a new one.

    We had a leak underneath the house, and it came to be the sewer line was busted. It made a bad smell. We looked underneath and saw the little drip. We called American Shield, and then they called the E&K. They had to go underneath the house, and then they had to tear out the insulation and cut the pipe off. They didn’t have anything to fit it. We live in a mobile home, so they had to run down to the store and get an adapter to fix it. And within three hours they were done.

    When the hot water tank busted a year and a half ago, they sent out A1 Septic to work on it. The guy that came out to work on it asked what tank we had, and I told him it was a 50-gallon tank. He said he couldn’t get a 50 right then, and that he would get a 40. When put the tank in, I got to look in, and it was a 30-gallon tank. Before he even got here to work on it, I went to town and bought a cut-off valve because there was not a cut-off valve on the water tank. But when he came in, he didn’t like that cut-off valve. He put one on there, and charged me $100 out of my pocket to pay for the valve. Then, I had to pay $75 to American Home Shield for our insurance, for them to come out and work on it. So I was out $175. We called them back and told them that the guy didn’t put in a 50-gallon tank. They told me that he said we were okay with it and that it was what we wanted. But why would I want a 30-gallon when I had a 50-gallon?

    The one they put in lasted a little over a year when the element went out. So I went around and around and around with American Shield. And finally, we’ve got ahold of the A1 Septic people. As far as American Shield was told, the guy was supposed to come back and put a 50-gallon in, and he didn’t do it. They finally got a hold of A1 Septic, because E&K was gonna come and put one in for us if they okayed it. But they went back to A1 Septic, and they did come and put one in. But it was a hassle, which I didn’t understand. I understand that by my contract, they have to replace it with what is similar to it or a better brand, but they don’t downgrade. It irritated me to death.

    When A1 Septic put the 50-gallon tank in, they ran the water lines up but they didn’t want to move the water lines because the tech said he didn’t think he should have to pay for all of that to put the tank back in. So I had it sitting inside my closet, and the hot water tank was behind the closet wall. I called American Shield and the rep said, “Whatever they say, if you don’t have the room, then they can’t put one in.”

    Several years ago, American Home Shield went through and replaced every part on the washing machine, and they replaced the door lock on it. But it broke again, and they couldn’t find the door lock for it, so they replaced the whole washer and dryer. They paid out over $1,500 to replace every part on the washing machine and the whole stack pack didn’t cost me $1,400. They woulda saved more money in the long run, because the tech had to make several trips backwards and forwards because he couldn’t find the part for it. We had to wait for it, and he could find this, so they put the part on it. And that didn’t work, so they put another part on it. I asked the tech if he told American Home Shield that he got several parts that were adding up more than what the thing was gonna cost. But he replied that that was just the way they do it. That doesn’t make sense to me.

    We’ve had the insurance for years and they had paid every time. They’ve been a really good insurance. But every time you call American Home Shield, you get a different person, so you gotta go through the whole thing again and tell them everything. And if you gotta call back, you gotta tell again. I don’t understand that because it’s supposed to be documented. So they should be able to read what was on the notes. But I don’t think they do that or they don’t document it.

The contractors looked at it and took out the coils but they didn't find any leaks. So, they kinda re-wrapped it and refilled it with Freon. It got cold here, so we didn't have to use the AC for a while and then in the past couple days, it was hot upstairs and humid, so I went there and saw that no air was blowing. The guy came out this morning and he kinda bent the vents a little more open and took out the filters to try running it with a different filter. He said that he thought it was what was clogging the air. It was the same brand of filter that they’ve been using in the house for four years.

    When I did my first claim, I swapped them all out and made sure everything was good. So, I just changed them three weeks ago. He told me to try different filters that aren't the ones that are in there now. So, I went and bought new filters just now, so I’m gonna try those and see if it still blows the air out. Yesterday, about 10:30, it’s 77. I was home and he said to keep an eye on it and call if anything happens. The contractors have been good but they are just looking.

    I've been in the house for six months and I've paid AHS for the whole year. The only time I've used them was when I requested for service two times the same day. One was for the plumbing, one was for the heating. The contractor that they sent on the heating side did a great job. But he didn't wanna give me a receipt. I called and they said I was gonna get one in the mail within 24 to 48 hours. It was something I have to file for my record and I never got it.

    On the plumbing side, the plumbing was draining slowly when we bought the house. The contractor that came to fix it said there could be toys inside the drain and that was something that they couldn't fix. He noticed I was getting upset so he did a courtesy clean-up and a little kid's plastic golf ball came out of the shower drain. But the issue is still happening. He said that was as far as he could go and that the warranty doesn't cover it. He explained to me that the insurance only covers something like hair or a regular clog. But he still tried to do the best he could as part of the insurance coverage. In the end, AHS wasn't able to fix the plumbing issue. I just paid 75 bucks for their contractor to come and tell me that they couldn't help me. So, I might as well pay the $100 to have a private company instead of paying $75.

    While we were on vacation, our water heater broke. So, when we came home on a Saturday evening, I went online and submitted a claim with American Home Shield. I’m an IT guy, so most things are not too hard for me to navigate the web. So, I didn’t find it complicated to find what I needed to get someone out. They sent Five Brothers Plumbing. They came on Monday. They didn’t replace it, but they looked at it at least. The guy was thorough. He said, “There’s a couple of things that are out of code that needed to be addressed and stuff.” He showed me something that was broken that I didn’t realize was broken, and he said, “Hey, go to Home Depot. It costs less than $10 to buy it. You can put it it in yourself.” It had nothing to do with the water heater. So, they were good. I appreciate them.

    Everything is great now. The guy was honest with the bill. I knew exactly what I was gonna pay when they came, and he was pretty quick to get it installed. It took less than an hour and a half from start to finish. So, they were really fast. I’ve used AHS on a couple of things and I haven’t really had any complaint. For what my policy provides, they are straight upfront and tell me, “Hey, this is what you’re gonna have to pay ‘cause your policy doesn’t cover whatever.” There are no surprises with anything from them.

It hadn’t been used in a week, yet it was still leaking. The plumber was very informative and polite. He looked at many different things and walked me through everything. He was even willing to look in the wall and see if the leak was coming from the outside faucet, which is what I thought, but then he said to try the washing machine first. He turned it on and he was able to replicate the problem, which solidified the fact that the issue wasn’t a plumbing leak. He offered to call American Home Shield back and transfer the call to appliances, but then I explained to him I don’t have appliance coverage.

    Even though he didn’t end up doing any plumbing work, I would definitely use that plumber again. I paid the copay before he came and it was all very easy, including the process. I've been with American Home Shield for 12 years and in the past, it’s been an exercise in frustration and I haven’t had to call in quite a while, but this time, everything was great. I got a response within a couple of hours then the plumber AHS used was willing to come the next day (he was on time too). It’s unusual for my prior experience, but this experience was really good.

    Baylis and Baylis came out to clear the sewer line. They also camerad it to see why we were having back-ups. I called AHS to file that claim and the reps were great. But it took them 3 days to have someone come out. It really wasn’t what we would have preferred, but that was the option. And I could have called back probably. The guy said he might be out on Saturday and then it was Sunday, and then it was Monday. And first thing , Monday morning, I got a call and they were there before eight o’clock. They did what we expected them to do, and cleared the line. The last time we called was for an air conditioner. The contractor was there 15 or 20 minutes, and put a capacitor on, and then it’s working fine. So far, everything’s been great. AHS has been very responsive and we’ve been very pleased.

    Everything went well with my claim, and Family AC Service Solutions was professional and very good. They were very prompt in handling the problem. This was the day before Thanksgiving, so it was a unique time and situation. Once I filed the claim online with American Home Shield, they sent an automatic reply that this had been sent to the particular contractor. It had a contact information there, so I called the contractor and they were already working to try to schedule it, and they obliged while I was on the phone, scheduled it, and said that they would send me a message via text as soon as they dispatch whether it would be that afternoon or not, and it did. When they texted me, they sent me a link to track the progress of the technician driving from where he was coming from to my residence. So, I was able to watch that in real time.

    Our service request was acted upon promptly. The online process was very simple, easy to do and request. They way it linked in to the contractors that you guys have on your list or database to assign it to, that seemed to flow well. Knowing that it was a day coming up into the holiday the next day, I got on the phone and proactively called. I’m in the electric trade industry, so I knew I’d better expedite that myself as well. But it seemed the ball was already rolling and all I did was confirm what was happening.

    My hot water tank wasn’t working and I called Home Shield. I got an extremely nice rep. He gave me A Water Solution's name, but he didn’t tell me when they were coming. He just said that they would reach out to me, which they did the very next morning. I love them. Their tech came out, told me exactly what was needed and had the hot water tank ordered. Home Shield paid.

    A Water Solution was out as soon as they could after they got the hot water tank. But there was an issue where the installer switched my cold water and my hot water, so my washer was running hot when it’s supposed to be running cold. They came right out and fixed it. There were no questions and no problems. My unit had been working perfectly.

    They really did a great job. They were no-nonsense. They did what they said they were gonna do and they didn't hike up the price. It was really good because two days after I got a new hot water tank, my sink backed up and I had to call a different plumber because I didn’t know A Water Solution did it. He looked at what A Water Solution did and he said that they would have charged over a $1,000 for it.

    We had only been in the house for about three months, but the microwave that was in it went dead. J T Enterprises came out and looked at it and they went back and said, “We’re gonna have to order at least two new circuit boards. I don’t know if they’ll wanna do that or just replace the whole thing.” AHS came back and said, “We’re gonna replace it.” We went through a long period where I went out and looked at some microwaves to buy on my own. And then AHS came up with a replacement and sent it to me. I looked at it and I said, “Okay, that sounds fine.” So they came back and said, “It’ll be 10 to 14 days before we can get it to you.” I said, “Okay, fine.” Two weeks later, it arrived and J T Enterprises came back up. They only come in town on Tuesdays.

    The new microwave arrived Tuesday morning, and J T Enterprises had already scheduled to be here. They came in and we found out that there was a filler kit that was supposed to go with the microwave, because it was a 36-inch hole and the microwave was only 30 inches wide. AHS didn’t send the filler, even though it was on the original email. So, the tech said, “We can’t do that because we gotta have the fillers to put it all in.”

    They went back and I called AHS again and told them what happened. They put me on hold and then the line went dead. And this was after I've been on hold for about an hour. I sent them two emails that day and said, “What happened? We need to get this piece. It was a very small piece. You could overnight ship it.” I was assuming that they’d answer my email, which they never did. The second time I called, they said, “If you leave us your number, we’ll call you back. You don’t have to wait.” So, I left my number and about 15 or 20 minutes later, they called back and said, “Your number won in the queue.” It was 20 minutes later before anybody came on the line.

    The next week, I called AHS back and finally got somebody to pay attention. They said that it hadn’t been ordered and that they’ll order the part. They ordered it and they said, “It’ll be two weeks before you get it.” And I said, “Can't we expedite the shipping? It’s been a month and a half now without a microwave.” And the rep said, “No. We can’t do that because it goes to the Whirlpool warehouse and they’ll have to do it.” That was great service. We waited another two weeks for those parts to come. When that part finally came, J T Enterprises came back and we took the old microwave out and started looking at putting the new one in. The new one was a half-inch longer than the old one and it was gonna require cutting the backsplash tile a half-inch down. The tech said, “We’re gonna have to wait until you get to figure out what you wanna do with it.” So, they left.

    I looked at getting someone to come in and cut the tile, which was very expensive and AHS said, “That’s gonna be your cost.” I sat and I looked at it and I thought on putting a half-inch board up there on top of the tile and then put the brace piece in through there. That’d make the microwave stick out a half-inch more. That was what I did and I called J T Enterprises back. They came back the next Tuesday and we put it in and everything’s working. But it’s almost two months without a microwave and the service I got from AHS just stunk. I was seriously looking at going to another company. I've been with this company for almost 12 years, which is another thing that hurts me. You’d think somebody who’s been there 12 years would get some response.

    One time, we stopped getting hot water. We submitted a claim online to American Home Shield. Their website was simple and they told me that the contractor, ASAP Plumbing Services, would be at my place between 10:00 and 4:00. The techs were on time but then they didn't really take care of the problem. The immediate issue was that we didn't have any hot water. That kinda got fixed because our breaker ended up tripping. The tech told us that our breaker tripped and our heater started working again. But then, the actual unit was giving us hot water for five minutes but then after that, the water gets cold. Still, AHS is a great home warranty company. I'm glad we had them when we bought our home.

    The upstairs AC wasn't working. So, I called American Home Shield and they sent out someone in my house. That person totally told me something wrong because I know a lot of electrician things and I figured out that it was a fuse issue. But he was telling me that it was something else and he was giving me a $600 bill. Then, I called American Home Shield and told them that I wanted a second opinion. But they said that if I wanted a second opinion, I had to pay $75 extra if the finding would be the same as the first person who came.

    So, I Google searched some people who are associated with American Home Shield, then I told AHS that I wanted them to send out a particular company because they had a 5-star rating. I didn't want American Home Shield to choose someone for me because the guy that they earlier chose for me was truly drunk and I could smell him. On top of that, he gave me a $600 bill when I knew that it was a fuse issue. When the second person, the one I chose, came out, he confirmed that it was a fuse issue and they didn't charge me another $75. But instead of having the option that you have to pay $75 again if the second opinion is similar to the first tech's diagnosis, AHS should just take it out because most of the time, the person would want to have a second opinion.

When the CPU in our refrigerator was out, the original serviceman was going to order the part. It turned out the part wasn't made anymore so AHS went ahead and replaced the refrigerator. I felt really good about it. Everything went really well. The service was prompt and the workers that came in were very friendly and knowledgeable. They did a great job resolving my issue. The whole process took three weeks in total. The biggest drop in time was waiting between thinking the part was gonna be ordered and then not having it in.

    When I booked with American Home Shield, they told me that they were going to send me a paper copy of my contract with everything listed including what they would fix, what was given there, what I was paying per monthly, the whole bit, but I never received the paper copy. I have called three times. I have reached the Philippines where they are. They said they would get back to me and sort this out. I have tried to call the Memphis, Tennessee office but couldn't get anybody through. When I did, it went back to the Philippines. I feel it’s very unacceptable because I put this on a charge card instead of my debit card because people told me these warranty companies, if they get ahold of your checkbook, because they’re over the Philippines and other places like that, you never know what the fraud’s gonna be like.

    I’ve had a home warranty plan over and over with every home I’ve owned for many years, and I’ve had 15 homes. So, I’m well aware of how this goes down. I got a copy on my phone but I want the copy in a folder in front of me with everything, so I don’t have to go back to my phone, where I have to dial it through, download the whole thing to see if a claim is covered or not. It’s too frustrating for me.

    As for my claim regarding my washing machine and refrigerator, everything’s working fine now. For the refrigerator, the contractor put in a claim to have the icemaker tray parts replaced. The back bar of the rotator bar that rolls around to throw the ice around and that’s at an angle to catch the plastic box to hold the ice was rusted and he felt that was a health hazard. But I’ve not heard anything back yet. For the washer, he put a new modular device in it because I couldn’t get the door open in my washer. The man was amazing, and he was sweet, and it took only a week.

    Everything is going good now, except for the built-in microwave that quit. The contractor came out today and he totaled up the parts. He called it into American Home Shield and there's one part that they can’t find. And if they can’t find it, then they’ll have to replace the microwave. But I don't think they make the one I have anymore. It was more of an institutional one and that one will do everything but dance. But I trust American Home Shield.

    In May, the refrigerator in our garage began to shut off for long periods of time. It would eventually come back on but everything in the freezer portion defrosted and had to be thrown away. I opened a ticket with AHS and they dispatched a contractor to repair it. The contractor replaced a part but the issue occurred again within a week. I reopened the ticket. This kept repeating until August, when they had replaced 3 different parts and the problem still occurred. I called AHS and requested that they send a different contractor. I was told that they couldn't do anything until the ticket had been reopened for a 4th time. They re-opened the ticket but the contractor never came out and the ticket had a status of "waiting for approval".

    After 2 weeks, I contacted AHS again and was told that my ticket would be escalated and that I would hear back in 24 to 48 hours. I never received a callback. I called again a week later and was told the same thing and again no call back. Two weeks later I called again and was told that from my records my ticket had never been escalated. I was told that now my ticket was actually escalated and that I'd hear back from them.

    2 weeks went by and no word. I call back and they tell me that the ticket shows that it's still under evaluation. I put up enough of a fuss that the operator agreed to send out another company except she wanted to charge me another service fee because it had been over 60 days since the ticket was closed. I explained that the reason the ticket wasn't re-opened was because it was in the "waiting for approval" state and I couldn't reopen it. They ended up agreeing to no service charge and scheduled a 2nd contractor to come out in 10 days (said that was the earliest available).

    It's now been almost 6 months that we've been without the refrigerator/freezer in our garage and AHS still hasn't fixed the issue. I've been told on 5 separate occasions that I would receive a call back but that didn't happen. My in-laws have offered us a refrigerator so we are taking that one and getting rid of the one that we had. I've now cancelled the ticket with AHS as I seriously doubt that the issue would be resolved in the near future and we need our fridge. This is the easier solution for us.

    AHS has done fine on most of the repair requests that I've made. In this case, when it wasn't a simple fix, they failed miserably. The contractor that they sent told me that he had no idea what the issue was but AHS still refused to send a different contractor. Every time I call, I have to give the long, drawn out story to the operator that I speak to. The person that I speak with has no power to do anything to resolve my issue. I was continually told that my issue would be escalated and that I'd be contacted. That never happened...not once. We'd been without a fridge for 6 months. Just replacing the unit was the simple solution for us. Maybe that's what AHS is counting on, that they'll just string this out long enough that you take care of it yourself.

    As I said, the simple repairs that I've had done in the past were fine. Once it's not simple, AHS doesn't appear to have any infrastructure to handle the issue. The only people I can talk to don't have any visibility other than reading my ticket history and viewing it's status. I was unable to get in direct touch with anyone that could actually tell me what was happening with my ticket. The thing that was the most maddening was the repeated promises of return calls and then not receiving a single one. Bottom line, AHS ended up not having to do anything to fix my refrigerator. They just waited me out until I had to do something myself. Maybe they saved a few bucks but they certainly didn't do anything for customer satisfaction.

    AC went out in the summer, and if you're in TX, you know some days can reach over 100 degrees. Called in on a Friday, and was told on Saturday that no one would be able to come out until Tuesday. That was 5 days of no AC, and I also had 3 dogs to worry about. AHS did not constitute this as an emergency. When I renewed my policy the following May, I was given a $75 discount for being a realtor. That $75 appeared as a past due payment on my account. I called NUMEROUS times to get this removed, and was told each time that it would be taken care of. 5 months later, it was STILL on the account. Their collections department would not stop calling and asking for payment.

    Every time I told them to read the notes left on my account, instead of having to reiterate the entire situation, they would just hang up on me. I finally decided to cancel my policy in Oct, and even received a confirmation email that a prorated refund check for the unused months would be mailed to me within 10 business days. A month later, still nothing in the mail. I called AHS to find out where my refund was, and they had NO record of any check being sent out. They tried to give me the run around by saying they would escalate the situation. Rather than dealing with them any further, I called my bank to dispute the charge. This company only cares about making money, and will scam customers who no longer wishes to employ their services. For the headache of dealing with AHS, one star is way too generous.

    Dimitri did the plumbing claim and they were fine. Nikolai, the technician, was very good. He’s been here before, and he came out three times for one item. But I'm fine with that. He came in a timely manner. The faucet was leaking after he fixed it, so I called back. He fixed it and it was perfect. But when Flamingo Factory came out for my dishwasher, I had an issue with them. They gave me a 2 to 5 window. At 12:30, I got a call from Flamingo telling me that there was a carrier outside our door that was delivering a part for the service guy to use. I had to go somewhere and come back at 1:30, so I told them to let him leave it right on the patio table. And as I was walking out, he was there. I had this wishful thinking that I was getting the part and that the tech would be there early, fix it, and I could go on with my day.

    I got home at 1:30 to make sure I’d be home in case the technician came at 2:00. He did not come at 2, 3, 4, or 5:00. I finally called by 5:00 and they told me he was running late. Why didn't somebody call me and tell me that he was running late? That's a courtesy call. You should pick up the phone and call the consumers on that list of his route. So they got the part to me but nobody called. I sat there for three and a half hours and I can't leave or work because I was afraid I would miss the service and then it would have to be rescheduled.

    At 6:00, they called me and said that he was 10 minutes away. I told the rep that I wanted to speak to the supervisor. The rep told me that he was not around and that they would put an email and he would call me tomorrow. The technician came after 6:00. I told the woman on the phone that I couldn't have my dinner at home because it was in the kitchen where the dishwasher is. So I have to postpone and put on hold my dinner. I couldn't prepare it because the tech was here. My wife is handicapped and she has to eat at certain times and I couldn't do it because they were running late. I was very upset with this. Also, before I could even talk to anybody, the first thing they asked was a credit card number. They want that right away, but they don’t care when the service guy comes. It was very disappointing.

    The tech had to check the dishwasher and turn the machine on and let it run, and some other things. He wasn’t out in five minutes. It was stupid. The guy had a reason for being late, but did he not tell Flamingo that he has a problem? Did Flamingo not get back to a customer? No! I had to make the calls. And then I waited on hold until I could finally speak to a person. It was very upsetting, very disturbing and very annoying. Then I got three renewal notices from American Home Shield, but it doesn’t expire until December the 11th. But this started to come in six weeks before the 11th. You want the money, but here I am not getting the service. If I don’t like this, I’ll turn around and tell American Home Shield to not send Flamingo anymore, and they're gonna have to find somebody else.

    Claims HandlingTechPunctuality & Speed

    Reviewed Nov. 19, 2019

    Sadler's Air Conditioning Service came out the next day I submitted a claim for a leaking in the AC unit. I submitted my claim online and it was very helpful, fast, and not complicated. The contractors were a little bit late, but they apologized for it. The house was empty and I was at lunch. They stayed in the house and closed everything for me so that I can return back to work. I really appreciate that from them. They were able to fix everything in the same day and were very helpful. Also, I like the part where once the contractors were on their way, they have a little GPS telling me where they were, that they were on their way, and where they were located.

    I submitted a claim online for my dryer and they responded pretty quickly. The tech had to change the belt in it and he did that within the same day.
