    American Home Shield is easy to work with. They’re professional and they have their people out on time. Their contractors are also professional and courteous. I find a lot of value in having the warranty. I don’t have to go through the internet trying to find somebody. Then if somebody comes out and fixes something and it’s still not fixed, I could still follow up and they’ll send them out again because I have a 60-day follow up where you don’t have to pay the fee again. Yesterday, I had people here for a follow up on my washing machine and they were going to order more parts because it’s still making a noise. It was a good experience.

    There were leaks in the toilet and in the sink. When I submitted the claim online, AHS was incredibly supportive and responsive. They told me immediately the contractor that was gonna be contacting me to schedule the visit and they gave me a phone number, so that if they didn’t contact me in 24 hours, I could contact them. They also sent me an email about that so I have both an email and I have a text message as soon as I file the thing online. And then the guy contacted me and we worked out how to do that. I have my payment information already on the website and it immediately pays the $75 so that I can leave the door unlocked, and let the guy go in. I don’t have to be there. They contact me if they have questions. The process is painless.

    We’ve been an AHS home warranty customer since 2002. Every house we’ve ever had since that time had AHS, and it’s been tremendous. We’re very, very satisfied customers. We bought a house in Arkansas that we recently sold last month, and transferred the warranty from us to them. The monthly price went up, and it was legit because we had been in the house so long that every kitchen appliance cratered and needed to be replaced. And we had them replace it. We replaced the refrigerator and the range top and the double oven and the dishwasher. I was a little disappointed that the icemaker wasn’t covered, but that’s because icemakers are terrible and it’s a ** ton of money if they did that, so I get it. But they replaced everything. Over the course of two years, we replaced a furnace, two air conditioners, and all of our appliances. So, after that, the price went up from $81 to $108. But I’m good with that. It’s been marvelous.

    I call in to submit my claims to American Home Shield. And it's the easiest, but it’s turning out to be the biggest pain. I have a hard time understanding half the people that answer the phone. And it’s hard for me to get across what I’m trying to portray as well. Also, I’m not totally happy about my first claim and all the gray area writing on what these contractors can and can’t do. We’ve only been with AHS since the summer. The first time we had a leak coming from our second story going into our basement, and the way that my contract apparently is written, the plumber was not allowed to pull down any duct work to do what he needed to do. So, I had to pay an extra $130 for him to do that.

    I wasn’t exactly happy about that because it was my impression when my wife and I signed up that we had the $75 to have them come and look at it, and it was either gonna be fixed or replaced. And there was no mention about potentially having additional expenses to come out of pocket. With the first claim, the contractor came and looked at it, and I’m assuming they got back a hold of AHS and said what needed to be done, and then they called me back and said, “Well, the way your contract is written, we’re not allowed to pull the duct work down. We can, but American Home Shield is not gonna cover it.”

    With my most recent claim on our hot water tank that stopped working, it was the same guy that came back and did the work. And he even said that that is something that they have noticed with American Home Shield because it wasn’t the first time that he essentially had to charge someone to do something that wasn’t covered in the contract. It seemed like there’s a lot of gray area. I get that they can’t put every little thing in the pamphlet initially when you’re looking at it. But when we signed up we said, “Okay, well, worst case scenario each incident, we’re only gonna be out $75.” There’s a lot of he said, she said. But the contractor said that our contract stated that they are not allowed to move any duct work to do any repairs. To a certain point, we know what’s covered. We just don’t know what’s not covered.

    In the past, submitting my claim online didn't work very well. But this time when one of our master bedroom bathroom was leaking, I called American Home Shield and they responded very well. Everything went very well. I’m very satisfied with them. The plumber was an awesome guy. He was very professional, very knowledgeable, and very tactful. I was also nice to him because he had a young boy with him. He was training him. He was so nice doing the job and with the way he was teaching the young man. He did a lot of things. Several times, he went to his car and came back. But I didn't doubt him. I just had faith in him. But since the repair, the toilet is making some kind of noise, and when we sit on it, it's not stable. So if the noise continues, I’m gonna call them back.

    We had a leak from the upstairs bathroom that came down over right at our kitchen sink. I made a claim for it online and this time, it worked out fine. A lot of times, it takes a while. We called Friday and a contractor was out Monday. Fortunately, it wasn’t a really bad leak. In the past, when we had something that really needed to be taken care of much quicker, that didn't always work out so well.

    The plumber that came out said to give it 30 days to make sure that what he did took care of the leak. He resolved the problem and the only thing we got left is a little hole in the drywall where he was checking up to see what the problem was. I thought I read somewhere that American Home Shield would have somebody to come out eventually to fix that. You get the warranty company takes care of it. That’s a follow-up but obviously, it isn’t.

    We’ve been with American Home Shield for at least 15 years since we came up here. Nobody really has a perfect record and once you’re with somebody, you kinda stay with them. I think most people buy a warranty for the possibility of when an appliance can’t be fixed and it has to be replaced. But we haven’t really tested them on the replacement part when an appliance actually goes bad. If it’s an emergency type of thing, though, American Home Shield should be pretty much almost try to get somebody out here right away.

His work was great. He was professional, courteous and timely. The ref is still working, so he did a good job.

    I recommend AHS. Sometime before, I called AHS and then called them back because I didn't need service. They didn't give me any problems and canceled the service call. I wasn't charged for it and that experience went great. More recently, there was water in my utility room. I called the maintenance people for the condo and the tech who came told me that my issue was my hot water tank that was rusting out and leaking. He told me that I was probably gonna have to replace it.

    I then filed a claim to American Home Shield and they sent D & P Plumbing. The plumber checked the hot water tank and said there was nothing wrong with it and that it was working perfectly. He found the clog down in the drain that’s in the utility room and cleaned all of that out. I was perfectly satisfied with him. He was very professional and had a uniform on. He also had shoe covers that techs put on when they walk in people's houses. He explained to me what he was doing and my problem was taken care of.

    To submit a claim for my leaking bathtub, I called American Home Shield and got a recording. It said I would get contacted within the next 24 hours, but I called the contractor at 6 o'clock in the morning when I knew they opened up. They scheduled and came out the next day. I asked the lady if they could come out after 3 o'clock. They were on time and called before they came out. I was at work and I said that I'd be home in five minutes. By the time I came home, they were here and did what they needed to do.

    I have an older home and asked for somebody out who knows how to fix older plumbing. The younger people don't know how to do older home plumbing. Somebody with experience with older homes was sent and he brought somebody else with him so that he can train them on how to do it. They did an awesome job. Having AHS is convenient and easy for me because I don't make a lot of money. I don't always have money to pay for something that's expensive to fix and it's easier for me to borrow $75 than $300. I always recommend AHS. I've been them for some years now and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

    We had a lot of rain in Illinois, and all the streets was flooded. I called in with American Home Shield for our sump pump. The claims rep told me that they were gonna give the contractor 24 hours to contact me, and if they haven’t contacted me, then she would give me the approval to get an outside vendor. And that’s what happened. This particular person that I spoke to in the beginning over the phone did call me back and gave me the authorization to use an outside vendor.

    Everything is working properly since the contractor did the service. The only thing is I haven’t gotten reimbursed. I had to pay out my pocket by me choosing an individual contractor. Someone was supposed to call me back on Friday, but he never called. I had to spend $700, and AHS told me I would get reimbursed within 14 to 21 days, and it’s been well over that. The information was faxed over on the 1st of October. But now, it’s the 29th. I don’t think that’s fair to me.

    When I called them, they told me that they were still working on the date of September 9th. I called back 13 days after October 1st, and the representative was telling me that they were still working on the September 9th. It seems like it’s gonna be three months before I get my money back. Roger called me back once, and then I talked to another girl. I kept asking for a supervisor because once they told me they were still on September 9th, I was a little discouraged. I told her that I needed to speak to somebody who could tell me what’s going on. But she told me to rescind it. Why would I rescind it? I got a confirmation on my phone that they received it. That means I’m stuck waiting another 14 to 21 days, and with a duplicate claim.

    I had another claim and a plumber come out and replace my hot water tank in January. I would have to run my water and run my water until it got hot. It only got hot in one bathroom when you turn it on. When the plumber came to look at my sump pump, I told him what was going on with the hot water tank and asked him if he could look at it. He looked right up, and he said that the company left our circulation valve turned off. All he did was turn it back on for me, and it was working right away in every faucet in my house. I told the company about it when I spoke to them the last time, and there was nothing they could do about it.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield almost 20 years for several different properties, and I’m just about to find a new service company because I’m very disappointed. I’ve never had these problems with them in the past. I’ve chosen outside vendors, I faxed it to them, and within 10 days or 12 days, I have my refund back.

    I had a burner that was coming on and going on high on its own and I called American Home Shield. I went online and I was able to schedule an appointment for almost immediately. I submitted it Sunday afternoon and the contractor was here on Monday morning by 8:30. The technician was very professional, nice and knowledgeable. He made a call to AHS to see if they wanted to cover it or not and they did, so he ordered the parts. He’s coming back next Monday to replace switches in the panel.

    I had claims this year for the stove, oven, microwave and washing machine. I wish AHS had an area where you could say what the actual issue was because I know there have been times in the past where if the repair person had known that, they might have brought the easy fix with them and not have to come back. When my father had a Sears home maintenance contract, we always talked to a person or even online, there was a spot to say what the problem was. So, a lot of times, the repairman would call before he left, in case he needed to pick up parts before he headed our way.

    Flash Garage Door Service came out and did a great job. There really wasn’t much wrong except for the switch that allows the garage door to open and close. They replaced that and they were wonderful. But when I had people come out for the refrigerator, it took three people to come out and fix it. The man who came the third time fixed it really well though. It was some sort of design issue with Samsung. I went online and found how to solve it. Then I sent the technician to the internet and he figured it out.

    I also had a microwave that was supposed to be replaced by American Home Shield and since I have relatively new appliances and they all match, I wanted to make sure that they were a GE profile. A woman from Home Shield sent me the email and the pictures and asked what size the frame needed to be. Evidently, the frame was important. You need to know how big the whole is so that you can put it around the new microwave. I had a contractor measure it and I sent it to her but she never did anything about it.

    American Home Shield sent me some stocks of what could actually be used but I never heard another word. I've emailed and I’ve tried to contact several times by phone but I’m very busy and American Home Shield takes forever. You could be on hold for hours. I held several times for 45 minutes to an hour for somebody to talk to me. But there’s just so much going on that I finally just got tired of dealing with it. However, I really would like to figure out how to resolve this microwave thing. I don’t know what I should do, whether I should have somebody come out again, condemn it and start the process all over or if I should just give up. It’s going on almost a year now and I keep using a microwave that I had in my garage as a backup microwave. I use it as my primary microwave but it doesn’t really work in my kitchen. But because my husband’s passed away and it’s just me, I can get by without this.

    I’ve been a realtor for years and I still recommend my people to American Home Shield better than Old Republic or some of the others but they do need to work on their customer service. They have gotten real overwhelming with using people out of the United States that are difficult to talk to and difficult to get information from. Their biggest flaw is they have too many people and not enough people dealing with those people. It’s very complicated.

    Recently, I have an icemaker that’s broken and American Home Shield has given me the choice of replacement which won't match or a cash-in-lieu which doesn’t cover my appliance. So, I'm trying to figure out what to do. I haven’t used American Home Shield in probably 15 years, so I gave them another try because I was switching over from First American when my service contract is up on November 2nd. This refrigerator thing was kind of determining if I was gonna re-up or just go with another company because I feel like I'm gonna be forced to go buy a refrigerator for 13 something, which isn’t gonna be matching my appliances. It's like a bad option. I'm gonna have to go spend more money to get what I should just have replaced.

    I have been on the phone for hours with them, and the people in the Philippines are horrific. I don’t even waste their time with the hours I have spent on the phone with them. I finally figured out a workaround, which is when I call, I just say sales department about 15,000 times until they send me to somebody in America. And then, I explain to them how I know I'm rerouting myself to sales. Sometimes they're mad because I've done it, and sometimes they're helpful. And that’s the only reason I even have an option right now for a replacement or a cash-in-lieu because I went through sales in America.

    I had a claim before and one of the guys that American Home Shield sent out here was so creepy that I insisted they never send him back, and then they refused to send anybody else. I live by myself in the country, and the guy was just a total creep, and I was freaked out. Some people are helpful, but overall, it's not been good.

    I've been with American Home Shield for 30 years or so and they have been on the ball about getting somebody out here to take care of things. I submit claims on the phone but it has gotten a little harder than it was in the past. Now, there is more questionnaire stuff than talking to a human. But the people we've had have been pretty good about appointments and doing the job when they're here. One contractor called the next day and set up an appointment for 4 o'clock. He called at about 1 o'clock and said he was running early and he wanted to know if he could get in. He showed up and was really professional. The issue was a diaphragm. I knew a little bit about that stuff and was talking to him about it. He explained it and it was to my satisfaction.

    Recently, we filed a claim for our air conditioning with American Home Shield on a Friday and All Star Conditioning, the contractors, came out until the next Monday afternoon. AHS' reps were a little hard to understand what the process was. But once I got them started, they seemed to do okay with one exception. They need better communication. They didn't get the problem resolved and had to order a part. We waited almost three weeks before we got the part in, then got it replaced. The AC still had some more issues because everything wasn’t done properly. Brought another technician out. He recharged the air conditioning, but that still didn’t do it, and had to bring him out a third time. After three and a half weeks, it was finally resolved and is 98 degrees better. And right now, it's doing okay because the unit's cooled off.

    There were things in our plumbing that weren't working and after we put in a request, the contractor reached out to us the next day. The technicians had to order a new faucet and had to come back after a week. But they got everything fixed and everything had been good since. We also had a claim for some appliance issues and it was excellent.

    I’m very dissatisfied with American Home Shield. I was considering renewing, and I talked to an individual and we came up with a solution that fit my budget. I have toddlers, so I walked away for a second and came back to my phone. I got someone else and they said that it was a typo, that there was no way they would honor that price. He was very adamant that nobody was going to help me. It really irritated me ‘cause I had been talking on the phone on and off for several hours and then was told that it was a typo. I understand typos, but you can’t make a typo when you’re talking about money.

    My last claim with ARO Appliance is still going. They had to come back out ‘cause they didn’t solve the problem, and now I’m waiting on a part. They came out for the initial evaluation on the 30th, the day before my warranty expired. I put the claim in on Saturday and they came out on Wednesday. I'm very happy with their communication and professionalism, but my husband is very unsatisfied with their ability to solve the problem. We also had a problem with our dishwasher at the beginning of the year, and it took them three times coming out to actually fix the dishwasher.

    Blue Collar Plumbing, the provider AHS sent for my hot water heater, was excellent. They were calling me before I finished with the automatic voice system to put in the claim. The techs got out right away and put in a new fitting. The place where the hose goes in at the top of the hot water heater on the hot water side had eroded over time. He explained that to me and swapped the fitting out. Blue Collar's techs were wonderful. Thus far, I've had two claims through AHS and both have gone really well. I'd recommend this company.

    Chesapeake Appliance, AHS' contractor has been out to my place a couple of times already. The last time they came, the tech said everything was fixed. He showed me the parts he took out and said that I may still get the error code on my washing machine I used to get initially but that was because the computer is trying to reset. He asked me to give him a 5-star rating. Since he was a nice guy, I gave him one. However, when I went to use the washing machine the next day, it had the same problems that it had before he came out. I kept calling and trying to get him to come back. Chesapeake Appliance is supposed to come back again tomorrow.

    The claim for my furnace is another story. It hasn't been dealt with yet. The computer board of my Carrier furnace had some glitch and AHS had to order another part. I made the request on the 17th of October and to this day, I haven't gotten any word on where the order stands. First, I was told that the part was being ordered the next day.

    But the other day, after calling like the fourth or fifth time, I was told one time that the part was in, and I should be getting a call. When I called another time, I’m told the part isn’t in yet. I have no heat in my house and it’s cold. The tech, Roland, old me on Sunday he would call me back on Monday, but I haven’t heard from him. Meanwhile, I’m really ticked off because I was with Sears before and with them, I pay the $100 copay when the technician comes to my house. With American Home Shield, as soon as I make a service call, I have to pay $100. So, they have me for $200 now and I haven't gotten either of my requests completed.

    I called up the AHS number for a service request and talked to somebody, and they said that somebody would get back to me within 24 hours. Within about five hours, the latest company got back to me and made arrangements to come out in the next few days, and they did so. They came out and identified the problem, said they would be out in a few days once the parts came in. The guy ordered the parts right then and there, so that sped up operations. Then I got a call that the parts were in, and let me know when the company could come, and so we took care of that. They fixed the appliance and we're back to normal. It's better than before and less noisy.

    It's what we should expect to have a great service, but we don't always get nowadays. I've had some people come out for different things, and at one time, things were worse than before. So, I'm very happy with the people and the process. I like the idea that these guys have been vetted by the AHS. They came out and took care of business.

    Overall, I'm happy with AHS. It does seem like with any warranty company -- it's not a replacement company. So they're gonna try to do the least possible when they can. They just want to fix what's broken, if it's possible. They’ll have to stay in business. I understand that. But I wish that they were a little bit more upfront on pricing because I think that’s better for the consumer. They should have everything laid out in bullet statements like what if our air conditioner breaks down and they have to replace this and this.. Because there are hidden fees. And when the switch motor was broken and intermittent they were gonna wait this third time to actually replace it. I’m sure if it would break within the 60-day period for the recall they would replace it.

    But for this particular situation when they redid a door and the switch came back on, they did great. They actually came back out even though I hadn’t done the recall. I switched from American Home Shield before because that other company sold me on their pricing which was a little less, but that company did some lying to me, like, “Oh, you can do multiple fixes with one fee. If you have two or three things broke, you can just pay the one $50, and we're gonna let you fix.” I was with that other company way too long. I should have seen the writing on the wall, but I guess I didn’t wanna think about it. But now that I'm back with American Home Shield I see that they aren’t really comparable.

    World Class AC came out recently to work on my air conditioner, which was constantly running but wasn't cooling. I did the claim online and the website was easy to navigate. I asked for them to contact me via text, so they texted me at 8:14 AM the next morning. It was Tuesday morning and they couldn’t get somebody out until Thursday. So, it was almost three days before they got out and I had to go almost three days without air in Florida. It seemed like it was an excessive timeframe for somebody to come out because of the hot weather. But the contractors were fabulous. They came out, they were very clean and they didn’t wanna trek through the house. I live in attached housing units in my community, and they were great about walking around to the back to get to the units. They were also prompt in fixing the AC and getting it to work properly.

    It's been a little bit hotter than normal and I've only been living in Florida a little over a year, so I've been asking my neighbors if it's normal for the unit to be kicking on this much. Jim from World Class said there's 60 days on this claim to call to get them to come back so I don’t have to repay my deductible, so he told me to watch the AC. It seems to be working fine. Everything has been fabulous overall. I've had to put a couple of minor claims with American Home Shield and everything has been really good.

    I've only been with American Home Shield for three days. On our first night in the house, the air conditioner was out. I called it in to AHS. At the beginning, the service wasn’t that good because they weren’t gonna service it. They said I had 48 hours for them to respond and up to 48 hours for them to schedule service. The girl from the call center was from Iowa and she went and looked at the temperature up on the internet and said it wasn’t gonna be that hot this weekend, even though we’re just moving in and trying to get everything settled. We have doors open and people in and out of the house.

    She was gonna wait ’til the following Monday, which would’ve been yesterday, to get us air conditioning. I told her it was not acceptable. We’re in Florida and it’s humid down here. So after a call or two, they expedited it. And then the girl, Tanya, called us back and she started out a little argumentative about it and was saying that we really didn’t need it. Since we were never given a contract by AHS, I had to go on the internet and find the number to call.

    So, all of that said, I pleaded with her and said, “It’s our second night in the house, we have this contract. If this is the service we’re gonna get out of it, I’m gonna call the Realtor and get our $500 back from the seller.” She gave us two numbers but she didn’t have any promises. The guy that went out just took the order out the goodness of his heart. He came over and fixed the AC, which took him about three minutes. I knew what the issue was, but I didn’t know how to fix. If I fixed it, I didn’t know if that would void anything with warranty. Obviously, not, because they didn’t inspect anything before they took on the policy. And while you’re sticking your screw driver in a car that’s under warranty, you don’t wanna void the warranty up. So, if I would let the cards fall how they were looking that they were gonna fall, it would’ve been a bad experience. But my persistence made it a better experience.

    The fact that somebody was looking it up on the internet, see what the temperature is gonna be, to see if it was okay for us to live in Florida without air conditioning for a couple days, that was insulting. As a matter of fact, I invited the girl and said, “I don’t know where you live.” And she said, “We’re in Iowa.” I said, “I invite you to come down to Florida and go a couple of days without air conditioning, even though it is November down here.” AHS should improve on their response time.

    Our heater system went out before and we had to pay out of pocket for that, which could’ve been avoided had we had a home warranty. So, I've been with American Home Shield for six years now. Usually, the AHS contractor looks at the problem and tells you what's wrong with it. Sometimes they go back to the truck to get a part and when they're done, they show you that it’s working. So when the tech from All City Appliance Repair came out, he looked at my stove and asked what was wrong. I left them alone to do what it was that they needed to do. And when he finished, he showed me what was wrong and that the unit was working. When my dryer went out, we got it working but the washing machine went out too. So, when we had one fixing, we should’ve had the contractor take a look at both so that they'd know what happened.

    When submitting a claim, I like talking to a person. And every time I call, the AHS reps have been very pleasant. They’d say somebody will give me a call within 24 hours, and if I didn’t hear back, I'd let them know. One time, I gave them my number and they said that my number has changed and the rep gave me the new number. So far, the experience has been good.

    My dishwasher had been leaking and flooding. The contractors had it fixed. Then, I had to call them again ‘cause the dishes weren’t getting clean. They replaced the brim and now, it’s working just fine. Originally, I called in for the claim for my dishwasher and the contractor got here fairly quickly. The second time, I did it online and got something like somebody would be contacting me but I got nothing. When I called, they said there was no claim in the system, so that didn’t work. So I stopped trying to do the claim online ‘cause that didn’t work for me. The phone call seemed to be a little bit better.

    It took five times for the contractors to come out to get the dishwasher completely fixed. We went from one provider to another and had to go to the actual rep to finally get a new person out to get it fixed. Nevertheless, the contractors from Appliance Wizards were great. They have great response time and took their time to listen. The people answering their phone were great on scheduling as well. I like them all there.

    It cost me $75 and three months to get my dishwasher fixed. It can be a little time consuming not knowing who you’re dealing with and their credentials ‘cause AHS picks the provider for you.

    My refrigerator is going to be the death of me. We’ve had three different companies come out and look at it. With the first company, Premier Appliances, the guy who came out did not speak English. Because he was too short, he stepped on my bottom drawer to look into the top of the refrigerator and it busted the bottom drawer. He said he was gonna order a part then he would come back. And he did. They sent another person out to look at the icemaker, and he said he fixed it. It only worked for about a month.

    About a month later, the indoor water dispenser started to leak from the bottom of the refrigerator. We had a huge puddle coming out of the bottom of the refrigerator. I called American Home Shield again. I told them I do not want Premier Appliances coming out and I didn’t wanna work with them anymore. They were just very rude and it was not good. This next one, AG Appliances, came out. The guy came, looked at it, and said that he didn’t need a part. It was just the hose in the back that came undone. He said he fixed it and left.

    It was only a couple weeks ago. Now, it’s doing the exact same thing. The water dispenser is not working, and it’s leaking out the bottom again. When AG called me and asked me if they could come out, the rep said she would talk to them and see if the tech had to order a part. And that’s where I’m at. They’re supposed to come out tomorrow again. They have been doing a band aid fix. They fix it for half a second and it works, and then it does the same thing over and over again.

    The ice maker stopped working and I submitted a claim online with Home Shield. The tech took a look at it and said it needed to be replaced. So he went and replaced it, and still didn't work. So he came back and said, that it was not level, therefore, it was not gonna do what it was supposed to do. So he leveled it and that made matters worse. And then he said that they need to order two valves and replace the valves. So they're coming out again on Friday to continue to fix the problem. It's a little bit of a hassle, but it'll get fixed.

    American Home Shield outsourcing customer service to Philippines, no one knows what they are doing. It's been 4weeks contractor came and check on the furnace. Have-not heard from the DMC DI DOLCE MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS or AHS. Spoke to at least 7 diffrent customer service representatives at AHS. Whenever call their answer is, "We will get back to you in 24 to 48 hours." Haven't heard from them yet. Very unprofessional service.

    It's been a bit over 3 weeks now and we finally will have a resolution. During that time, I had to continue calling for updates and I was told 2 different stories about what is going on by customer service. I was told they were waiting for report to replace the whole system and also told that they ordered the part to fix the furnace. The repair company came out twice for measurement. There was another incident where I called customer service and was told that my claim was denied and they did not provide any details about why and I waited a while to talk to someone else and eventually the call disconnected. The repair company that came out then explained that part of the claim was denied and part was covered. Eventually they did cover some of the costs. There are lots of fine print in the policies so it is very likely many things are not covered. The process of getting things repaired takes a long time. The process is not very transparent either.

    Original Review: Oct. 25, 2019

    Our furnace has stopped working and we called american home shield. It's been 2 weeks and it still has not been fixed and it is getting cold. After the service visit, it took the company 4 business days to write up a report. I called American Home Shield everyday only to be told to call back the next day for updates. Finally after 4 business days the report was complete, but I was only notified because I had been calling them every day. During one of these calls, I was told once the report was submitted it would take 2-3 days before they can come to fix the furnace, but that was not the case. I was told they got the report but they needed to research if they can order the part which would take 48 hrs.

    48 hours later, I haven't heard anything so I called back and was told they ordered the part. When I asked them how long it would take, they told me they didn't know. Each time I called, they asked me for the whole story again. They have an online portal but it doesn't show any details of the progress. The process is so long and not very transparent.

    Purchased this warranty when I bought my new home. Our ac has quit working because it is blowing the fuse inside the furnace. Set up a service online and took 5 days to get a date scheduled. Then another 2 for the tech to arrive. The tech was at my home for about 15 minutes. Said I had a short in the wire going from the furnace to the ac condenser. He said he didn't think this wire was covered under the warranty and left a quote of 500.00 to do the repair. I contacted AHS and asked about this coverage. They said they had to wait for the paperwork from the tech. 3 days later they contact me to say that because it is inside the wall they don't cover gaining access to the wire to see if it would be covered under the warranty. If I would be willing to remove part of the wall so they could see the wire to determine if it would be covered then they would come back out. So I wonder what is covered under this warranty since it says electrical is covered.

    I forgot to mention that before the tech left my home he left he removed all the padding around the wires on the outside of my home so now I have exposed hanging wires that they don't want to warranty. I will not recommend this warranty to anybody as it seems they have to many loop holes to get out of covering items. Very upset and disappointed with this as I live in Arizona and you need AC. Thank goodness it's late in the year and the temp isn't 115 outside. Thanks for taking my $75.00 for a service call and fixing nothing but leaving it worst than before you arrived.

    My hot water didn’t work in the kitchen and I didn’t know if it was something with the line, or if it was something with the faucet being plugged. It was also weird because I had hot water working everywhere else in the house, but just not in the kitchen. So, I called and made the claim, and Carl’s Plumbing Services came out. As the guy was discovering to find the problem, he was doing some shut-offs, and he was cranking on the pipe to take off the shut-off valve, ‘cause it was old and it needed to be replaced. Because if one shuts it off or turns it on, it would obviously leak. He tried to take it off and it wasn’t a screw-on in one. It was welded on. So when he was cranking on it, he must have busted it or whatnot, and made it leak.

    Anyway, he ended up finding the problem and he fixed the hot water problem. Then he had to relieve some pressure in the basement, and I told him, “You know, I wouldn’t turn on any old stuff that I have down there, except for the shut-off by the hot water heater or the main shut-off, ‘cause I don’t know if it’ll leak or not.” But he went and turned on the laundry faucet sink to relieve the hot water, and then shut it off, and it wouldn’t shut off. So, it was leaking but then he put a cap on it and it stopped leaking.

    After he fixed everything, he turned all the water on. But after he left, I noticed under the sink that it was dripping water from where he cranked on the shut-off valve. Then I went in the basement, and where he put the little cap to cover up the seal, it made it spray out of the actual handle and started leaking out of the handle from being plugged up on the other side. So, he probably made an honest mistake but still, he has to pay a little more attention to detail.

    I called the plumber back and tried to call Carl’s back, but I couldn’t get a hold of them as it was past business hours. So I dealt back with Home Shield and they told me that they would be sending Carl's back out and they would contact me. Carl's did contact me, came back out, and fixed the issue. But a different plumber came out and he seemed more knowledgeable than the first guy. He fixed the leak under the sink and then he informed me that in order for him to replace the faucets out in the basement, he’d have to do some additional plumbing, and those weren’t covered through Home Shield. He said Home Shield doesn’t do the actual piping, so I’d have to pay him to do the piping for the basement. So far, I've had American Home Shield for about two months and this claim is my first. Everything that I’ve dealt with through them was excellent. I told them about my issues and they took care of everything very well.

And then we had another problem with our air conditioner but nothing could be done with that because the air conditioner had mold. I’m about ready to have Home Shield fix my oven so we’ll see how that goes. Previously, our toilet went crazy and was overflowing under the floor really fast. All Points Plumbing was sent and they were great. They were good communicators. They ran a bit late because we’re living at the outskirts of town, but they were nice and they fixed the problem.

    Home Shield is the best company I ever dealt with. I have them for 22 years. I have peace of mind on it. Every time they come and I call them, they fix my problems. Once in a while, I found one of those service people that are not so helpful, but overall, 99% were great. Sometimes when the homes are kinda a little old, the service people come and charge you for extra things just to put it up to code. But people should understand that you cannot put a new unit in an old unit. You have to pay something extra.

    Recently, I have a new air conditioning placed, a new pool pump, and a new filter pump. The garage door opener broke this year. My washing machine broke, too. I pay a little bit, but I sleep well. And when people come to fix your things at the house, they fix what you need to be fixed, and they don’t tell you they need this and that. I trust them, and I always have very good people. And I would recommend it to friends. Home Shield should keep up the good work. I would like to continue to renew my membership.

The contractor who came was friendly and he did his job quickly. He kept to himself but that was okay as it didn't bother me any. When he spoke to me, he was kind and polite. He managed to fix the problem that same day he came.

    The contractor for the AC called me the morning after the claim was submitted and came quickly within a day or two of the call and they are doing their job now. The guy who came to fix the AC said it would be a matter of time before it crashes out on us because of the age of the unit. We've enjoyed our experience so far with AHS.

    A pulley was bad in my dryer. It sounded like a fan belt going screeching. I submitted a claim to American Home Shield, and within five hours, I had a contractor assigned. They called me within two days, and then they came out and fixed it. I'm totally satisfied. The tech was very courteous and timely. I’ve had numerous calls in the last few years and they pretty much used the same guy so he is familiar with my house. He knows me. He’s done my dishwasher, my washing machine and my dryer.

    We've had American Home Shield for about eight years and the rate on the service call went up to $100. For the dryer, the part might've been $10 or $20 because it was just the pulley or a wheel that goes on to a shaft. So if I hadn't gone through American Home Shield, I would have to paid the guy less than $100 to come out and fix it. My wife told me to drop Home Shield and just put some money in savings every month so that covered emergency. But if the air conditioner goes out, a new compressor costs $3,000. So we're sticking with American Home Shield. It’s that peace of mind that if something goes wrong, I know it’s gonna be taken care of. I don’t have to worry about dipping into our savings.

    The gentleman from Plumbers, Inc. came out because our front bathroom shower was still dripping. This was the third time they came out. He said that if it continued to drip, we push the little button down and that should release all the water in the pipe. I told my mom that and my mom pushed it down. The other day when I was sitting there going to the bathroom, I noticed that it was pushed, but water was still dripping out. So then, we called them up and told them it was still having that problem ‘cause the guy said to call them back if we still have the problem and they would come out and change something.

    He did change it out and that got fixed. When they originally came out, we could not use the master bathroom shower. We thought it was a turn knob and it wasn’t. It was the pull-out for the water to come out. The technician showed us that it works but you just have to stand in front of it and pull it out. My parents are elderly, so they tried it for one night and it was difficult for them to pull it up. They don’t have the strength to do it. So, yesterday, when the technician was there fixing the front bathroom shower, my mom told him that it was hard to pull it out and if he could fix it. For some reason or another, they said that no water comes out from the master bathroom shower. My father is handicapped and he cannot get into the bathtub, which is the other shower in the front restroom.

    I called yesterday and they made it sound like they’d be dispatched today, and then when I called them today and I told them that my dad was handicapped and what had happened, they said that no schedule was made. I'm pretty upset and I had to call their office back and the girl told me that the soonest would be tomorrow, and I said my parents would have to go without a shower for two days now. I said I wanna talk to a manager but I'm waiting for the manager to call me back. I don’t understand why we should be penalized for something that the technician either turned off or there's something to it, to wait another day. But the contractor was very efficient and professional. And AHS has been fine.

    I've been going back and forth with American Home Shield for my AC. The central air went out and the tech that came out didn't seem enthusiastic. I know him from before and he was great two years ago. But recently, he was in a hurry. He did what he did at my house, and he said he gotta go and see what happens for a couple of days. And we’ve been going at it like this for over a month.

    American Home Shield was good in the beginning. Now, they’re all giving me the runaround. I told them to send me somebody else, and they said that I asked for him so I'm stuck with him and to give him a few more days. So I gave him a couple of days, and he called and said give him a week. It’s been about three days now, so I gotta give him four more days. I don’t know why American Home Shield won’t send somebody else. They’ve been awesome in the past three years. But this time, they dropped the ball. So right now, I would not recommend them.

    For my most recent claim, the plumber found a penny that was caught into the garbage disposal and couldn't get out, and he fixed it. Everything was great. But when I call up AHS and have something that needs to done, I still have to pay a $75 house service fee. If you have a home warranty and you're paying x amount of money a month, why do you have to pay a service fee? I've had four or five claims this year and I've paid $75 four or five times, so I'm reluctant to renew next year.

    When I came back from holiday, one of my ACs was out and I had some interesting discussions with the contractors who came out about what they did provide. They are all good communicators and have good English. One guy, in particular, was very helpful in terms of explaining the process. I've got three AC units and asked if they could check all of it while they were here. He said that they could do it, but I can't warranty because they came out for one.

    I get online to submit claims and once you log in, the AHS website is fairly straightforward. It asks you what service you want and then away you go. Typically, they'll get back to you within a 24 to 48-hour timeframe. They're good about signing that stuff out and getting people. A good feature to put online would be being able to specify that I wanted a provider again. All in all, AHS has been okay.

    I chose American Home Shield because of reviews and from my experience with them, they were actually pretty good. I initially filed a claim online and I guess when I did that, American Home Shield assigned me a contractor. But when I read the reviews, I wasn’t really sure about it because he had a lot of negative reviews. I requested to have that changed so I had to call the operator and she was actually very helpful. She made all the changes and advised me to do this and that. American Home Shield sent Jaeger Electric and the technician was excellent. He kept us informed about everything. He called and let us know when he was in town and how much time he had left before he came in. Then he caught everything that was wrong and fixed it.

    The icemaker was torn up and it had leaked, and I couldn't shut the refrigerator door unless I started chipping the ice away. I did the claim online on a weekend, so it took a while. It might have been that Monday before there was a response that somebody would be scheduled. The tech made two trips. The first trip, he came out and basically just figured out what was wrong. He got it diagnosed really quickly and cut the water off so it would stop leaking. He then told me that it might be a week or two before he gets back because he had to order the part and there was some manufacturing change with the replacement part. He communicated very well. It was almost two weeks that he came back and put in the new icemaker. And there was one other little part where the ice and the water came out that was warped that he also replaced that for me.

    We had water leaking out of the seams of our water heater so we had water damage. I called that claim in with American Home Shield.

Two or three hours later, the company then came out. It was a pretty quick turnaround. They put a plan in place and had the issue fixed. It was really nice because they took the stress of all of it from us. It was a great company to work with.

    They more or less drained the water heater so we didn't have any more leaking. They took care of it because there was already water damage on the walls. They had to order a whole new water heater and we just had to kinda not use hot water while they got a new tank in. The next day, the tech had a new water heater ordered for us and he came back.

So, I kept the policy and ’99 would’ve been the year I started paying for it. It would be nice if there wasn’t a $75 deductible but it’s peace of mind for me.

    AHS sent Street Plumbing & Rooter and it went really well. I've been having the same issue for a while. I had Poe's Plumbing before that, and they didn't complete the whole list of things that it had wrong, and they said that they were waiting for approval from Home Shield, and I guess, in turn, closed the account, saying that they were finished instead. And so, I was in limbo land for a while. I had to call, and this lady took care of me and got me a new plumber and took care of it without charging me again another $75.

    The plumber from Street Plumbing came in 24 hours. He came fast. He was sweating to get the job done. He had to go and get the part, go back and forth to the hardware store to get parts because he was having some problems getting the toilet mounted. The floor was giving him some problems. But he didn't give up and got the toilet fixed and mounted properly.

    But I still have a hole in my ceiling and it my closet. The lady that helped me get the plumber is trying to get me somebody to finally patch my holes because it's been almost two years I've had a hole in my ceiling. The last plumbers had to poke a hole in the ceiling because I had water leaking downstairs into my light fixture. And then when they finally came to fix it they had to cause another hole in my closet.

    I called to get the repairs for that and the company that was sent out to do that never showed up for the appointment. It was my day off and I waited for three hours that they gave me that they were gonna show up. They never showed up. I need somebody to finish fixing the job and I would be really happy. The lady said it's been a year, so she has to charge me another $75. I don't even care at this point. I just need to get somebody out here. I'm super frustrated.

    The ice dispenser was no longer dispensing ice and it was the result of a broken paddle switch. The paddle comes in a piece that is basically the entire control module for the refrigerator. So it wasn't simple but it wasn't too complicated. It took Pro Appliance Inc. one initial visit, and then the subsequent visit to put the part in. Now it's working like it's supposed to. It was the first time I've reported a claim through American Home Shield and I didn't even speak with a person. It was all electronic.

    We had a catastrophe with our washing machine. A water valve inside broke and it flooded the machine. Water flooded the laundry room before we were able to stop the water from coming out. I submitted the claim to American Home Shield online, which was better than waiting half an hour for a live person to come over the phone. This happened on a Friday afternoon and we got the notice that it was assigned to Ellis in the evening. Being the weekend, I did not expect to hear anything fast. The contractor called us the following Monday, which was the first business day after the occurrence. He came out the next day, checked the machine, and said he had to order some part. He warned us that it might take 7 to 10 days to get it.

    Then, he called back the following Saturday, only four days after he was here, to say that the parts just arrived to him and could he come out on Sunday morning and complete the repair, which I thought to be 100% amazing that any appliance guy worked on a Sunday. He came out that morning and made the repair. He stayed and checked through a cycle to make sure things were running right, too. He was very pleasant, professional and nice. Since that repair, everything seems fine.

    In terms of the providers, The Lindsay Company, it was a really good job, but American Home Shield's procedure is if it’s broken, they try to fix it. If it breaks again, then they change it. I understand it may be fixable though. Initially, my waste disposal started getting stuck and when the guy came back, he expected it and he did something. A few weeks later, the same issue continued and the unit ended up leaking. This claim was submitted online and I immediately got an email saying that somebody was gonna come from this company and they did. It was in the time frame that was mentioned and the guy who came was very helpful. He explained the process and everything else. I'm happy with American Home Shield.

    My daughter has turned us onto American Home Shield and we've been using them for about 10 years now. I recently had a pool problem where the contractor came right out, got an outfit out, and fixed it, and everything was great. While I’m okay with my experience, my daughter and her family are having an experience that is absolutely terrible. She had a ruptured water heater and the plumber, who they sent in to assess the situation and to replace the water heater, has a list of items that he claims has to be done to come into more recent code compliance. I paid 100 bucks for it, first off, including things like replacing the drip pan that was under the water heater with a new drip pan. But there’s no reason in heck that somebody needs to replace the drip pan. The old one that was sitting there was just fine yet they wanted 80 bucks to do it.

    That was $800 in stuff that was not covered by American Home Shield, but they were required to be paid before American Home Shield will okay the installation of the new water heater. My daughter had not gotten a second opinion and they can’t even get American Home Shield to send them a list of the items that the plumber claims has to get done for code enforcement. Today will be the third day that they're trying to get a list of this supposed stuff for code compliance that totals 800 and something dollars and American Home Shield is really dragging their feet on it. It is so egregious. Also, when my daughter first asked for the list, the response was that because they were in Texas, then it has to be mailed to them. But that could take a week and they could have instead use email which would take a few seconds.

    My daughter's family is in a house with a single water heater and it’s tough to get the family around in the morning through showers, doing proper cooking, cleaning up in the kitchen, and all that without hot water. They couldn’t live in the house while all this was going on so we welcomed them with open arms and we have them here in our home during the process. Yet American Home Shield sure as heck isn’t doing anything to help them get through the problem quicker and get the damn thing taken care of.

    I put in a service call with AHS and Appliance Plus came out and looked at the fridge. They assessed the problem and ordered the parts, came and installed the parts. The icemaker is now working perfectly fine. But the major issue is that my fridge is leaking a lot of water, and it's building up inside the fridge. The gentleman who came before said that the problems were fixed. However, a couple of days later, the water was still leaking.

    I made a second call to American Home Shield, and they scheduled a technician to come out. They didn't do any technical work or anything like that. He just leveled off the fridge and made some adjustments on the wheels on the bottom of it because he was saying that was possibly the problem why the water is leaking. He assured me that the problem was fixed.

    However, when he left, a few days later, I checked it again, and it was still leaking. So I put in another call for the third time for them to come out and look at the fridge. And as of right now, I have an appointment set for them to come back out again to look at the fridge and to address the leaking problem that I'm having. Another issue is that when I put in a service call, the wait time is a bit much. You have to wait too long for service technician to come out.

    It's a serious problem, then I have to constantly go into the fridge and drying up the water, taking the water out of it just so I won't have an overflow and create a mess. And my appointment is for, I believe, November 5th. I'm not sure why it's taking them that long to come out and look at the problem. So, it's a bit frustrating. I'm very dissatisfied. It took three appointments for them to come out and look at the fridge, and it's still not fixed.

    American Home Shield sent people who came out and fixed our air conditioning. I did the claim over the phone and the rep was fantastic. The contractors came pretty quickly. I didn't even know I had a warranty. And I happen to be on the road and saw an email that went, "Your home warranty's about to expire." So I dialed their number and they took care of me. In fact, I'm still waiting on a callback on them for my second home. I put one on that one too. I was happy with what happened.

    I already had somebody come out and give me an estimate and they tried to rip me off. They were trying to charge me three grand worth of work on the furnace. And not knowing furnaces, I just said, "Screw it. We're gonna replace the furnace at some point in time anyhow and we're rebuilding the house." But the guy that the home warranty people sent out showed me it was a filter. He replaced the filter and the thing took off and worked perfectly. So in many ways, it was a good experience.

    Overall, the AHS rep handled me good, and the result was excellent. I actually invited the company that came out to do it to come back and help me with some more work and I haven't heard from him yet. So that's the only part that didn't work out, but either way, it was a good experience and I would recommend AHS to anybody. I already have recommended it to people.

But she said that it’s still isn’t right. The contractor replaced a fan, the motor and a couple other things. I don’t know what else to be done.

    I read up on a bunch of home warranty companies and after reading their fine print, they had some areas that would make it a gray area if you called about something. And American Home Shield was really straightforward. I liked their price and the guarantee, and I've been with them for three years now. I have never had a home warranty before and their customer service has been were very good about explaining things and answering my questions. I like the fact that I can go online now and put my request in if I need service. I don’t have to wait until business hours. And they’re easy to work with.

    The contractors that have been out were good too. I've lived in my house and this community for a long time, and they’re all new to me because AHS don’t pick anybody in my town. I’m 67 years old and I’ve used the same people for a long time so having to rely on somebody from the company that I’m not familiar with was a bit different at first. But most of them have been really honest and has done a good job. This time, I got a different appliance guy than I got last time.

    AHS's price was 50 something dollars several years ago when I signed up, and now it’s a high 60s. I don’t know if it’s normal for the price to go up every year. I wonder if it’s based on whether or not you make a claim. That’s the only thing and because I’m on a fixed income, I really would like for it to be more stabilized so that I know what it’s gonna be every year.

    I joined American Home Shield after I lost my husband. I don’t have anyone that I can call for everything that happens in the house and I’ve been in my home for 30 years. Unfortunately, we live in a time when it’s almost like you get on a widow’s list. People know that you’re alone, that you’re a widow and they take advantage. I had a bad experience with a plumber right after my husband died.

    And a friend said, “You don’t have to deal with that. Before, when I owned a home, I had American Home Shield. They’re reliable. They’re somebody you can go to. You don’t have to worry about what it’s gonna cost you. You don’t have to worry how you can afford to get something fixed. You know it’s gonna be a set amount.” And I said, “Okay.” And because of the age I am, I do have a lot of friends now who are losing their partners and their husbands, and they’re in the same situation. Their homes and appliances are older, and they don’t know who to call. If they do call, they don’t know if they’re gonna be able to afford it on Social Security. So, I recommend AHS to people like that. I tell them that it’s peace of mind for me.

I've had certain contractors that I’ve tried to keep with once they been out here since they know how things work at my location. On occasion, it’s kind of difficult to get that specific contractor, but usually, AHS gets the same ones out. This last time I submitted a claim, it didn't work out that way, but the ones that they're sending out as substitutes, I’m comfortable with ‘cause I’ve worked with them on other occasions.

    The supply pipe where it connects to the flex line that went into the toilet was loose. It wasn't sealed properly, so it was seeping out with about half cup of water a day. When I noticed it, it was running toward the wall. It was very wet there and it could create a problem. Someone from Colorado Plumbing and Heating came out on one snowy day. He was a little late, but he made it. He worked very quickly and did a good job of making the repair. Everything is dried up now and is working beautifully. So, I'm very pleased. I also have another claim going on where I didn't have to do anything except call and say, "I needed this done." And then, the contractor called and set up an appointment. However, I'm appealing that. Other than that, I've done a one-year renewal with AHS and so we've had them for more than a year already.

    My sink was clogged on both sides, and Bear Plumbing went outside and snaked it. Now, it’s working perfectly fine. I called it in on a Thursday, and they couldn’t come out until Tuesday. But after I got the number, they contacted me right away. I hated that I had to wait so long. I waited over the weekend, and they didn’t come out until Tuesday. It would’ve been better if they came out Monday or that Saturday. But I like Bear Plumbing's service. I kept saying I hope it was them because they were really good before. They were friendly. They also fixed my shower that was leaking. And they not only sent out one person but two.

    The customer service of American Home Shield was okay. The only problem I had was with my water heater which went out. The service had just expired, so I had to go and pay for it again. Their warranty was only good for 60 days. I ended up getting another water heater. It was okay getting another one, which they did. But I still had to pay $600 to have them connected because the fittings were old. I didn’t like that. But as far as their service goes, I can’t complain.

    I used AHS' service for a week right when I first got the home in November of last year. Then in October, my water heater went out. I decided to give American Home Shield a call to see if it’s covered or not. Luckily, it was. But I feel like there are a few items on the bid that didn’t make sense for the type of home and the placement of the water heater that’s there. When I went to review it with the plumbing company, they said, “Well, these are our charges. So, if you want to get a cash out with American Home Shield, you’re welcome to do so.” I said that I was just hoping to get it taken care of but they didn’t seem like they were willing to work with me on the price of the permit and the other things. I didn’t think they even do the permit for a water heater 'cause they give just like a sticker to put on the water heater.

    But anyway, American Home Shield was fine. It’s just that there's already a shut off valve in place at home and the pan didn’t make sense because there was nowhere for it to drain in the basement. And the strapping was quick and there was nothing to brace it to even if they put the two by four’s in place. After talking to a friend and looking at the bid, I was like, “That seems scrillion.” Looking at a few things on the Home Depot website of what things cost and the hourly rate to put it in, I was like, “Well, it just seems a little weird.” Everyone has their prices and the time is worth one bit. AHS said that if I wanted to go and get a cash out, then I could just do so and use a contractor that I wanna use. I told them that I’ll try to work with the contractor and see if there’s any way they can do anything. So, I’m gonna think about it for a day and then we decide.

    Hers & His Plumbing was sent by American Home Shield for the tank to the toilet that was leaking. The contractor was absolutely professional. I asked many questions about the operations of the toilet and what needs to be done, and he explained situations to me and explained how the toilet worked. And he was very informative and homeowners appreciate that. He did not have to do anything. Unfortunately, I drained the whole tank of water wanting not to have my floor damaged, and so he couldn’t see what the problem was. He did explain the situation to me very thoroughly. And he did think that the type of toilet that I have, the gasket as he said probably needed to dry out. And when it dried out, the leaking was stopping itself. So he said, if anything else, it was under a certain time frame, I can call him back and there’d be no extra charge, and I was grateful to hear that.

So, I paid for it then AHS sent me the email saying that the tech was going to be the Amazing Plumbing and Rooter. I got in touch with them and they were able to schedule a same day appointment. So, I let the tenants know and they were very pleased. That was very efficient too as far as on American Home Shield's end is concerned. The water heater was fixed right away and it was a great experience. But the techs came while our tenants weren’t there and we don’t know what was wrong and what was fixed. Neither do the tenants. So, maybe there should be some provision for that so you’ll know what was wrong or if they replaced stuff.

    We moved into the house this past spring, so we hadn’t been in a position where we needed to use the heat at all. Once it got cold here in Charleston, we tried to turn the heat on but we weren’t getting any heat from the system. The heat pump was not working properly. This was the fourth thing that I’ve used AHS since we moved in. The actual owner of Coastal Comfort came out and he was able to identify quickly what the issue was and got it fixed the same day. It was a pricey repair normally and he was actually able to use the warranty that was on the system and got the part replaced with no additional cost to me. And so, I thought they had not to bill anything back to American Home Shield either. Overall, it’s been a positive experience.

    It’s a few simple clicks for the claims process and American Home Shield is quick to respond and get somebody scheduled. So, it’s been pretty easy. Everything that I’ve done has been digital, online and I haven’t had the need to speak with anybody directly. Everybody that I’ve worked with, that they’ve sent out, has been really pleasant to work with. AHS is something that was provided when we purchased the home for us as an incentive.

If they do not cover that, how can I put the big thing in? So I wind up paying that, and some of the small items are pretty costly. Those small items there could be added as part of the overall service. If you replace something big like that and then they add on soldering a wire, it ii is going to be pretty expensive.

    American Home Shield had to send out three different plumbers, and they still didn’t complete the job. The first plumber put the wrong seal in my master bedroom toilet, and the water came out of the tank onto the floor. They told us that they had completed the job, but the one part of the job that he did not complete was we have a frozen handle on our bathtub and they needed to change the cartridge. They just closed it tight enough where it wouldn’t drip, and then it started dripping again. We noticed a leak on our tub. We called them, and they told us to put another claim in with American Home Shield, which we did. And we had them come out. The second plumber made the adjustment on the seal on the toilet and he fixed it. He said that the tub has been fixed too. But he never fixed it. It was still dripping, and they closed out the ticket.

    I had to call American Home Shield again, and they sent out a third plumber. He’s supposedly their top guy. Before they came out, we noticed that our ceiling had water damage on it and that it’s stained. But we just got our entire house painted less than two months ago. So we called American Home Shield and told them that when the first guy didn’t put the seal on correctly, the water leaked down from the upstairs restroom into our ceiling. American Home Shield said it was between me and the contractor since it was secondary damage, so the contractor is responsible for it. We went back-and-forth, and I called American Home Shield a bunch of times, and they said that I gotta take it up with the contractor.

    There’s a couple of different stains in my ceiling from where the water had moved. The contractor came out to look at it and the guy decided to cut into the ceiling to see where the water came from. And then they tried to blame it as a pre-existing situation with condensation lines. I told them that we didn’t have these problems before they came out here. And then I didn’t hear anything from them. After the guy left, I waited a week and I called them and the rep said, "Let me get it to my supervisor.” I waited another week, and nothing.

    I kept calling them till they decided to answer the phone, and I told them that I did my part, I paid for their service, and they didn’t complete the job. I also said that if they're not gonna do it, I’m gonna go after them civilly and with legal action. So, the receptionist immediately called the owner and put him on. I tried to explain to him before he cut me off. And he got really short really quick because I didn’t want him to blow me off again. He said that I'm gonna wait. So, he puts me on hold, comes back on, and he had an attitude with me by raising his voice.

    I was very frustrated, but I did not yell. I raised my voice at him, but I didn’t cuss at him. I told him that if he was not gonna listen to me, then we can talk about this in person, which I was gonna go get the police and we’re gonna go down there and have a civil standby while we talk about it. He blew up at me, and said that I can talk about it in person at his house. And then, he hangs up on me. Then he gives his secretary directions not to accept any more of my phone calls. So, I have this big hole in my ceiling, and my tub is still dripping.

    I’ve been calling American Home Shield for weeks, and everyone that they would call me back tomorrow. I've talked to three different personnel, and they said they were gonna escalate it. But no one ever called me back and followed up. And this has been going on for a month. I don’t want any of that guy's crew back in my house. But I shouldn’t have to pay another $100 to get someone out here and finish the job. I may end up cutting service from American Home Shield and finding somebody else because they don’t care.

When my garbage disposal was leaking, I talked to their representative and they told me who the contractor was gonna be and that they would be contacting me in the next 24 hours. In about two hours, I was contacted. The person who came seemed very professional. He wasn’t too chatty. He assessed the problem, put in a new disposal and was on his way. He left everything very neat and tidy. He was very efficient with his time. The repair made life much more pleasant.

    The valve was broken and there was water spewing out of the evaporator tank on top of the water heater system. I went online and AHS sent A-American Plumbing. The contractor was good to work with. Unfortunately, although I wanted to make sure they got the address right, they got 503, but it's 5003. The contractor was trying to make sure he had the right house and fortunately we live in a small cul-de-sac, so it wasn't hard to locate.

    He had to replace the evaporator and he did it right then. He had it all in his truck. The repair has been perfect. We got hot water. But when I had my air conditioner fixed in the summer I was disappointed in the fact that they paid literally nothing for the Freon, and I had to put out $400 for that. I almost could pay for another unit for what I paid for the Freon. So that wasn't Kosher, but it is what it is.

    We had a leaky toilet around the base of the toilet. I was told by Home Shield that somebody would call me within a day, 24 hours. The plumbing company called and said they’d come in three days. It was like Thursday or Friday whenever I submitted the claim and then they came here on Monday. The contractor was very professional and he knew what he was doing. Just a nice guy. Overall, it’s worth the while to have American Home Shield. I’ve had a couple of instances in the past where I canceled, and then sure enough, three months later I had a problem. So, I’ve pretty much stuck with it now for about 25 years or so on two different houses.

    As a paying American Home Shield customer, I am very disappointed in their customer service and the contractors they work with. I reported a water leak on October 17th and was provided service on the 21st. An AHS authorized vendor, Grade A Plumbing, asked for a payment of $295 to disconnect my water heater, installed in front of the cracked pipe, as the technician could not see the crack clearly. I was told that this type of “access” is not covered by AHS, and that if I did not pay for access, AHS would not cover to have the issue fixed. The Grade A Plumbing tech then said that I would have to pay another $295 when they return to fix the issue; a total of $590 dollars to disconnect my water heat to simply access the leaking cast iron pipe. I was then told that they could leave the water heater unhooked for both the diagnosis and repair for $345. Left with no other option, I was forced to pay this amount.

    It has been 2 days since the initial diagnosis. I reached out to AHS several times during the last few days for a status check and have not had an update yet. I was offered a total of $150 to go stay at a hotel with my 1 year old UNTIL this problem is resolved. I simply want my pipe repaired and my water heater put back so that we have hot water. This experience makes confirms by affirmation that companies like AHS

    I would like AHS to recommend a hotel near me for under $150 for our TOTAL stay (it has been 3 nights of staying outside so far). I would also really appreciate it if AHS establishes some control over their authorized vendors and how much they charge for “access”. I would also really like to go back to living in our home.

    Upon learning from the plumbing company that I would have to pay an additional $586.00 to have my leaking water heater replaced, I called AHS. After the first call, was told not to worry that it was still an open ticket. No description of modifications had not been submitted for approval. Next day call from plumber told me I had to pay this amount and they had not spoken to AHS. I called AHS again. This time was told that there would be an additional amount of $586 due the plumber upon replacement. No explanation on modifications.

    Third day, AHS called stating a list of "bogus" modifications, like removing the furnace, replacing lines, permits, and old water heater removal fee to the tune of $581.00. It has become obvious that AHS was not interested in confirming these modifications since it was not them who would be paying the additional $581. Upon checking with a trusted plumber, no modifications were needed. AHS low-balled me on a replacement unit and I will await reimbursement from AHS.

    This company made it extremely difficult to interact with their billing department. I used them for a major repair and they did okay with that (though it took over two months all told to get my AC replaced), however, when I tried to cancel the service after my year contract they were very shady. I called one month before and was told that it wouldn't renew. Then the charged showed on my credit card again. I called back and was told that I hadn't requested it to be non-renewed and the only way to back date it was to request a supervisor review the tapes and that I'd have to call back during a certain time to do that.

    I called back again and was told that I was asked on the original call to contact them again at the end of my contract to cancel (not true). So, I feel like they're inputting certain data in their system that is NOT what we discussed. I've now been sitting on hold for 40 minutes to talk to a supervisor about reviewing the tapes to prove I'm not lying and get my money back for months.

    I submitted a heater claim to American Home Shield. What happened was in the summertime, I got a new air compressor for my air conditioner, and whoever AHS hired to put the thermostat on it didn't connect the wires to the heater so we had no heat for five days. I spoke with an AHS rep about it and he was very informative. A contractor came out and did that but I had to pay $100 out of my pocket, which wasn't fair. The contractor was all right but he didn't tell us exactly what he did nor leave us a receipt. He just said he fixed it and went on. The last guy at least gave us a receipt.

    The first day after he left, it was freezing and the house wasn't heating up. And so, my husband put it on emergency heat and we had to use that all night long. I called AHS back and told whoever answered the phone that the heater was not working right. I asked if there was something we did wrong and he said, "I'll have them call you back." But they never did. So we figured it out ourselves. I think the thermostat that he put on is a cheap thermostat.

    With AHS, I only added my air conditioner, my heater and plumbing. I didn't add any of my appliances because I still had them on my Sears account. So I called to ask AHS if I could add them and the rep said no, not till our contract is up in April. I said, "What if I drop you right now and turn around tomorrow and re-signed up?" She said, "You could do it that way." I said, "Really?" I'm thinking about trying the Amazon Prime home shield after my AHS contract is over.

If I have a problem and call them, they won’t charge me the $80. They put it on our credit card, which was when Dan’s Plumbing came. I’ve gotten three emails and I’ve gotten a paper in the mail telling me that we owe them money and that our account is in arrears. And I can’t get through to them at all. I’m very disappointed.

    AHS's contractor, Dan’s Plumbing, has always been very nice and comes almost immediately. From the time you submit the claim, you get an email in a matter of five minutes. They say that they will be there within 24 hours. Then I usually get a call to set up the time. Then they come and are always on-time.

    I submitted a claim when my heater was going off and on. I could hear it kicking off and on. The guy came out and said that it was my thermostat. But a week later, the thermostat went blank. It didn't do anything. So I did another claim with American Home Shield. The tech told me step-by-step what they were gonna do on both occasions. I had two different people come out. The first tech assumed that something was wrong with the thermostat, but there was nothing wrong with it. He stayed about 10 minutes, did something to the thermostat, and the heater came back on. But a couple days later, the heater went off again. But this time, the heater and the thermostat went off. The transformer had gone out in the heater.

    The tech from the company that American Home Shield sent out for my water heater in September did not hesitate and he brought a new water heater and swapped it out. He didn't try to fix it. He said it had been worked on too much. It was rusting out. That was the first time I had an amazing experience with American Home Shield. They did not allow somebody to come out and patch something up. Prior to that, I’ve had horrific experiences with American Home Shield sending people out that wanted to work on the hot water heater, when the hot water heater costs less than $500, and then, they bill 4000. There were also instances where the contractors keep coming out to fix something that was broken and I had to keep paying my $125 deductible, and they were just patching it in. Then the same thing happens, and then they do the patching, and the same thing happens. I was really close to dropping the whole claim.

    For my air conditioner system, somebody came out and did something where it lasted summer. But prior to that, my air conditioner system was worked on several times last year. But with the amount being billed to American Home Shield, it could have been replaced. I had a problem with that because that was not just their money, it was my money too. I told them that with the premium and the deductible that I pay, I could’ve saved that money, went in my pocket, and purchased a new unit myself. It was ridiculous. I didn't understand. American Home Shield had been doing a really bad job in the past. I have a bucket of complaints. But it’s the catch 21. You live with it or without it. And I decided I can’t live without it.

    I put in a service which is a promotion with American Home Shield to do preventative maintenance. It’s a regular service call outside the warranty, so I paid $150. It was $75 for each of my units to be serviced. When the company came out, Hospitality Heating and Air Conditioning, they didn’t see anything wrong with the unit up top. They found an issue with the unit in the basement, and they recommended I call American Home Shield and put in a service call. I did that.

    When the representative from Hospitality came out initially, he was very nice and started the service. However, he started working on the wrong unit. When he came, I told him the two units weren’t right next to each other. I said, “Do you want me to turn the unit on upstairs so you can note not to bother that one and work on the one downstairs?” He said, “No. I got it. I know which one it is.” After about 45 minutes of him working on the wrong unit, he finally realized it. He’s like, “I may have a lot of bad news. It’s not getting any power.” I told him, “We’re in the summer. So, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” And he went through the troubleshooting process just to discover the whole time he was working on the wrong unit because he finally listened to what I said and turned on the one upstairs.

    So, he said, “My fault. I was messing with the wrong unit.” Now, he dealt with the bottom unit and discovered the issue about the coil being broken or weakened. No problem. So, he put the ticket in and he left. Well, 30 minutes after he left, my heat from upstairs is constantly blowing. At this time, it’s warm outside. It was like 80 degrees outside. So, it was burning up in my house. If you go to the thermostat, it said it was off. So, I was panicking. I’m here by myself with my children, and I sent an email to American Home Shield. I also called up the number I have for Hospitality Heating and Air. I, in fact, wound up calling twice.

    The third time I called, the answering service came on. They informed me that Mr. Anthony ** was actually the one on call that night and he would call me back. That was at about a little after 6:00. I had the exact times written down. Then after that, he did not call. It was 9 o’clock and I was still waiting. I was worried about my bill at that point going up. And then it was so hot. I had the doors and the windows open. So, I called back at 9:00 and the lady took the message again. The answering service didn’t understand why he didn’t call. No one ever called back for anything.

    In the meantime, my fiancé came home and he turned the breaker off. I didn’t think about it earlier. I should have. But that was the only way he could shut the unit down. So finally, the next morning, someone from Hospitality had called me. Jesse, one of the managers, informed me that the answering service gave the wrong information because her company don’t respond to American Home Shield customers after hours. So, I said, “Well, this is the company that came out through American Home Shield. I have my unit serviced every single year. I have all my records. So, I’m assuming nothing’s wrong with either one of the units during the regular service call.

    I have documentations showing nothing was wrong with the unit, but the technician was working on it for 30 to 45 minutes. So, I told her that. And she went to say they don’t service American Home Shield customers after hours so she has to correct the answering service and they gave the wrong information, and that they couldn’t assure me when they’d be coming up. I said, “Well, at this point, I’m not confident with your technician because he caused this problem and then he was not responsive when I called him back.” When he initially came out, he called and said, “I’m over to do the job. I’m their personnel." He let me know he was on the way. So, I called back the same number and he was not responsive. And I felt like he handled the situation wrongly. The rep said, “Well, that’s not our policy. We would send the same technician out to resolve this issue.”

    So, I felt like I was in a position where I didn’t have assurance. My fiance met him out here because I don’t know about the system. And he diagnosed another problem with the system upstairs, which I could not understand because he must have caused the problem. They previously checked it, didn’t see a problem with the system, and it was working fine. So now, they left. Supposedly, he fixed the issues. He sent the bill to American Home Shield. It was $154 and that was the end of the top unit.

    So now, we get to the bottom unit and American Home Shield will cover the part and labor. But evidently, I’ve an older unit and Hospitality is requiring me to use some upgrades to meet the code, which I understand. But the out-of-pocket cost for me is $2,300, which I do not have. So, I explored other options with American Home Shield and they were saying like cash in lieu would be an option. And I just got off the phone with them. So now, I’m looking for another service provider to just fix the issues so I can get some heat and not worry about the upgrade that this other company is requiring to meet the code. I have the confidence when I bought the home that everything has been fixed.

    As far as American Home Shield, I’m not satisfied with their service. They have poor customer service. They don’t wanna give you anything in writing, which a lot of this stuff I don’t understand, so I like to look things up and research. And if I’m trying to find another builder or provider to help me, and I need to be able to communicate with them in their language so they could understand what’s wrong with the unit. So, I’d like to have it in writing. They don’t wanna send me anything in writing. And I wanna make sure that whatever credit is due to me with another provider coming in is attached appropriately.

    The young lady I spoke with claimed that she’d get somebody to send me an email of my covered items. But she never confirmed that they will send me anything in writing concerning the covered items. She just was verbally telling me the heat pump was included, the parts and labor is covered under the warranty, and that was all she kept saying. And so, the amount that they offered was $1,200. I said, “But currently, I wanna see if possibly I can do it through another provider to repair it for that amount.” She said probably not because with their service providers, apparently they have a wholesale discounted prices and they have agreements and so forth, which I think is unfair to me as a customer if I’m trying to get the service done by another provider. They should give me a fair amount.

    This unit’s not fixed and they didn’t apply the credit yet. But I don’t really appreciate the way they have chosen to handle it. I don't understand. And furthermore, I had to call several times to even get a cash in lieu offer. The previous time I called, they said they don’t have no record of the request. And in the meantime, I’m sitting here without heat.

    My multi-port cover was leaking. I submitted a claim late on a Wednesday through AHS' website and they sent South Tampa Pool & Spa. They were here early that Friday morning. The tech was very professional and since the repair, everything has been working excellently. I’m quite pleased with the service.

    I had claims with AHS for the furnace and plumbing, and Home Service did both of them. Home Service is a great company and they got nice guys. The techs were on time, polite and respectful. They told me exactly what was wrong and fixed it right away, then cleaned up after themselves. It was so nice knowing that, for 75 bucks, I can call AHS and their contractor can come out and fix the issue. You can’t get any contractor out there for that little. It’s gonna be a 70 or $80 service fee and then they're gonna crack you for parts and time. So, the warranty is worth having.

    I just recently signed with American Home Shield and I’ve been with them for three months now. The air conditioning went out during the hot days here in Georgia so, we had no air in the house. The contractor came out and fixed it. It needed some Freon. The guy was very professional, courteous and showed me what was going on before they did anything.

    I submitted a claim to AHS because my water heater went out. I called them and the rep was excellent. I didn't like the people that they sent out though. The contractor didn't tell the truth. He said that my hot water was 16 years old and that he needed to replace the wiring. And the house was just built in 2013, so I tried to explain to them, "How did he put on there 16 years and the house was built in 2013?" I just needed a replacement, I didn't need any rewiring, upgrade or all the extra stuff which they wanted to charge me $1,300 for. So I got another plumber. It was cheaper and I didn't need to pay $75 deductible to recommend a plumber that's gonna rip me off.

    I was a little disappointed with the first contractor AHS sent for our heater. We spent $75 and the guy didn’t do anything. I knew within 5 minutes of him being here that he couldn’t fix it. He was a young fellow who had no experience. I hope AHS refunds me the money I wasted on that deal. I had to spend another $75 and get the right guy, and I felt bad that I had to, but then his work was absolutely the best. He was a more experienced fellow who knew exactly what he was doing and I had confidence right from the get-go. And he fixed the heater within 10 minutes. It’s just lighting the pilot light and making sure that it stayed on. There was some issues with some leakage he repaired and did a great job. I was really happy. In the future, I’ll ask for the fellow that came out here, and I hope that he will accommodate me on that.

    I had no hot water. My hot water wasn’t working at all. I called American Home Shield and I went though a prompt system because it was late. They told me to expect someone to call me by morning, and they didn’t. I called them 8 o’clock that morning, and they could not come out until a couple of days. And so, I asked the AHS rep to find someone else, and she tried, and she said nobody could come out. Mr. Rooter Plumbing was the soonest they could get. They came out and I was pleased because the contractor did his job. He’s very professional. He told us what was wrong. He told us it’s been a common problem they’ve had with that particular brand of hot water heaters. So, he did not have that part, and their company didn’t allow them to stock that part. He would have to order it, and then he would come in.

    Unfortunately, we were leaving for a trip, and it was coming in the day before we got back. But they wouldn’t receive it until the day we got back, so it worked out fine. The next morning, he had us on the list and we were home. We got home that night before he was heading that next morning to put the part in. And I had no problem. The only thing is I didn’t like having to be so long without hot water. My husband and I freaked out because it took us back to the days where we had to boil water to take a bath and to cook. The water’s needed. The first 24 hours, we’re freaking out, and that’s when we realized I have large pots and we can boil some water. It opened our eyes. I love American Home Shield. Three of my kids have signed up with it, too. I have friends I have gotten to sign up with it. It is a blessing. I wish that I’d known about it 20 years ago.

    American Home Shield does a great job, but I wish they were a little cheaper or their service charge to get the guys out there was a bit cheaper since I'm already paying a premium. Still, I'm happy with the service. When our fridge was making a noise, my husband made a claim online and he made an appointment with the guy that contacted him. The guy was nice and he did a good job. He fixed the fridge so we were happy with him.

    When the washing machine was leaking, Accord came out and analyzed it immediately. They ordered the parts and told me it might not be or might be covered. It turned out to be covered. They came back about a week a later, got the parts in and put them in. So far, it's working. This was a positive experience. This claim when I turned it in, it was easy. I had a bad experience the first time I used AHS. I've been with them for four years and they should improve their communication as to why things aren't covered, have a conversation about it, just to understand things. It's kinda cold and hard to get a no answer with no explanation.

    Somebody that came here to do AC work told us to go with American Home Shield and I’ve been with them for two years. All the contractors that AHS sent out were good. When something breaks down, they would send somebody out and whoever they sent out would always comes on time and the work would get done within a reasonable amount of time. If they say that they couldn’t do it this day, then they would always schedule a time that they could do it, which was okay with us. They would come and they would do it at that time. They would be in and out.

    The technician that came to rekey our home was fine. He even gave me some recommendations on a couple that are working but may need to be replaced. But I had an AC thing that I'm not sure if it’s completely resolved yet because we’re kinda coming into cooler season, it’s not running as much. AHS sent the contractor out and they needed a compressor. They said the unit needed to be replaced, the old R22 version which really can’t do anymore come January 1.

    American Home Shield insisted on replacing the compressor with the current R22, and so I did have some words with them saying that if that’s the case, I’ll just stop the ticket and I’ll call them back in January because they shouldn’t be trying to do that. And they said, “Well, it’s not illegal.” And so, I talked to the contractor and the contractor was like, “They’re not supposed to be making them anymore, but there’s a stockpile to last the next five or 10 years.” So he said, “You probably just gonna have to go ahead and do it because I’m sure there’s nothing gonna come off of it.”

    So, I’m pretty disappointed in that. They replaced the compressor, then it froze up and they had to come back out, and so then they had to replace a switch or something in it. And then, it froze up again, so they had to come back out again. And they said that the contact, the other person or the other company from before, wired it backwards when they went to hook it up. So, it's always someone else’s fault when it comes to HVAC. And so now, I’m not 100% sure if it’s working ‘cause it’s not had to cool constantly. It’s just cooled occasionally because the temperature’s kinda dropped down.

    We bought a house and it was one of those with no agent involved. I looked at the place over and thought that I needed a warranty so I bought from AHS. I also thought that the first thing that could happen is a change in living habits sometimes causes problems. The house is in a rural area so we didn’t have a city sewer but there's a septic. We had water coming up out of the ground so I called AHS and made my first claim. I told them about it and the warranty folks said that they’d send somebody out.

    Drain Masters was then set up to come by out of Fort Smith so the people came out, looked it over, and assessed the situation. They determined that I needed a new pump and a couple other things. They showed up on two separate occasions to take care and finish the job. They cleaned out and put a new pump in. They did a great job and I was very happy with them. Everything is working perfect now and the warranty has paid for itself with this one claim. So, I'm very satisfied.

    I had a pump placed on my swimming pool, and then when they put the pump back in, it leaked, so they had to come out and fix the pipe from the pool motor to the ground. Everything is fine. They were such nice people and prompt. I can’t say enough for them. But AHS has been lousy with their communication. I’ve got another claim with them and it was a plumbing line that was backed up. Boss Plumbing came out and said that the line is ruptured, and it's gonna have to be repaired. AHS said to go ahead and do it. And then Boss Plumbing came out a second time, and said, “We’re gonna try a high-pressure line to just blow it off.” They did and said, “We’re just gonna cancel our claim and not do anything because it’s working now.” Two days later it started gurgling again. So I turned to my homeowners insurance company. They came out and looked at it, and said, “Yup. We camerad it. You got two different breaks within five feet of each other.”

    Boss Plumbing told us that we’re gonna get about $1,500 from the warranty company, and that was either limited to their liability. I’ve been going back and forth, and I haven’t gotten a straight answer from anybody down there. I’m waiting on when I’m gonna get a check and for how much. I need to have that done, because I’ve got the $3,000 deductible on the property. If I can just get that resolved, I’m gonna be a happy camper. It’s been two months now, so that’s been a little long. But overall, I’m very happy with American Home Shield. I have recommend them to other people.

    I spoke to an AHS rep when I submitted a request for my furnace and he was okay. A contractor came in to do a tune-up and when the tune-up was done, they recommended that it needed to have a fan limit replaced. When I called AHS back, they sent out the people from the furnace company and they said that something in the furnace was going bad and need to be replaced. I was given a thorough understanding of what was going on better than the person that did the checkup. So far, the furnace part has not been replaced yet. But prior to that, I had problems with my water heater, and the guy came out and repaired it. I was happy with my experience.
