    When I had my electricity in the living room go out, we had an electrical company come. I didn’t have to pay for anything extra. The guy figured it out what it was quickly. I had two outlets that had gone dead and he replaced them, put in a new fuse, and it was ready to go. I also wanted to have the furnace checked before the winter set in completely. Watters Heat & Air came out and checked to make sure that the burners and igniter were clean and clear. They had to clean it and they made sure I had my filter changed – which I had a new filter there for them to put in. They checked the whole unit over and made sure it was ready to go for the winter.

    The claim I filed with American Home Shield about my AC is still going on. It’s taking them some time to figure out what the issue was. But American Home Shield has covered every visit. There has not been any additional cost. When I called American Home Shield, Texas Best Heating and Air Conditioning came out within three hours, which was really fast, but they had problems in isolating the problem. They initially thought there was something on the panel that they could solder together and fix it. They tried that a couple of times and each time, it didn’t hold. It would work initially, and then it would quit working. And now, they’ve ordered a new board and it’s to be installed tomorrow. So, I’m hoping it will be repaired tomorrow. Fortunately, it’s not cold in Fort Worth yet so I don’t think it’ll be a major problem.

    I also had a refrigerator repaired a month ago and AHS ended up replacing my entire refrigerator. When I called about it, I told them what was wrong and they asked if there was any other problem, because every time you call in, it’s a $100 fee. They said if I reported more than one problem at the same time, it would still only be $100 fee. There wouldn’t be $100 for each item. When they said that, I told them that my washing machine is giving me some problems too. And they said they'd check on both of them.

    They sent out one repairman for the washing machine and he fixed it quickly. They also sent out a repairman for the refrigerator, and he at first thought he fixed it. But the next day, the entire refrigerator quit working. It started out when the refrigerator was working fine and my icemaker wouldn’t work. Suddenly, when he tried to repair the icemaker, the entire refrigerator went out. And so, I had to call back and they authorized the guy to come out again. And then, they tried to charge me a second $100 and I complained because it wasn’t my fault that the guy couldn’t fix the refrigerator. They understood and they only charged me one $100 fee. It turned out the whole motherboard in my refrigerator needed to be replaced.

    They authorized a new refrigerator and that process was extremely easy. They sent me an email with pictures and descriptions of all refrigerators and asked me to pick one that I like. They suggested one which they felt was the best buy and it was actually the best one for me. It’s a French door refrigerator freezer with icemaker and dispenser, and the same size as my previous one. So, I ended up with a new $1,700 refrigerator. I went out and I priced them at a couple of stores before I agreed, and their prices were right around the local stores that had a similar refrigerator. So, I could either take the cash or take the refrigerator, and I just chose the refrigerator, which was cheaper. Because if I took the cash, I would still have to pay for delivery and installation fees. If just I choose a ref, everything was covered and the refrigerator was what I wanted. So, it was a win-win as far as I was concerned.

    I’ve had AHS send a contractor out January this year to fix the dryer and they fixed the problem for that. And then the second time, they fixed the washing machine and the refrigerator. And now, my heater. Right now, I’m very pleased with AHS. I’m getting my money’s worth. I’ve had them before in the past, years and years ago, and I wasn’t always as pleased when it came to an air conditioner. But that’s really big money. And those kinds of insurance plans give you more trouble for it in your central air in Texas because it gets hot. But this time, I can’t really complain about them. I’ve been happy.

    For the refrigerator, I had to wait three days for a repairman to come out and a couple of days for the washing machine, but that’s to be expected. The whole refrigerator business took a couple of weeks because the repairman kept trying to fix it. But fortunately, I had another refrigerator in the garage, a 25-year-old refrigerator. The repairman said it’ll probably never die. The kiss of death for my other refrigerator was when he said, “This newer one in your kitchen will probably die before that older one does outside.” Sure enough, the next day it did. But it’s okay.

    The only problem I had with American Home Shield on the ref claim was the repairman was trying to order the motherboard. After a week, I called him and he said, “Well, it’s still not in. I’m trying to find it.” After another week, I called him again and he didn’t return my phone call. Finally, I called AHS and they checked and said, “You’ve been approved for a new refrigerator.” AHS nor the repairman didn’t tell me about it. After that, the process went smoothly. It’s a good ref and it’s working well. Right now, I’m very happy with American Home Shield and I would recommend them.

    The tank on my water heater had burst. I was able to prevent further damages by turning off the water. And there was some water there on the floor, which was how we were able to tell. But, I was glad that we were able to get that fixed. AHS's claims process has always been simple when you do an online claim. It's a lot more convenient. It's just instant clicking and then, you can describe the problem. And if they have any questions, they always call me, which makes it faster. We've had several instances with AHS making claims, but this time was much, much better because the company contacted us in a timely manner, which made the experience nice, especially with hot water involved.

    AHS's contractor, A1 Plumbing, scheduled me a day but I had to change the date because an unexpected event came up. But at the last minute, they were able to work with me. They were a really professional and courteous company. They minimized any staining on the carpet. They were taking the proper steps and always thinking ahead. They wanted to make sure it was done right. So far, everything is working very well. A prior AC claim took over a week but this one was so simple. I just called AHS, their contractor fixed it and we were ready to roll, and I've been telling people about it.

    I had a stove glass door that was shattered and a microwave that wasn't working. I called Home Shield, and I'm glad I called because it made such a difference to be able to understand. What I did was, I got a renewal of my policy of how it was gonna change in December, and the rep was able to explain that to me. I know I should have read my thing, but I didn't realize I was gonna have to come out of pocket $75 for the service call. And so, the rep kindly walked me through that. I appreciated figuring it out and not trying to figure it out on my own and make a mistake or not know what I was doing or try to figure out how to do both the microwave and the stove. I appreciated the representative. We were able to make the call.

    I've heard horror stories from people who have used Home Shield, but it depends on the state and who they hire to do the work in that state because I was very happy with Green Appliances. And then, my husband was there when the other company replaced the microwave, which went wonderful. My husband said they did a great job. They knew what they were doing. They put it in the new microwave quickly. I was really pleased.

    My washer was in the middle of spinning, and then it made a lot of noise. I called American Home Shield and the rep that I talked to was very courteous, professional and helpful. AZ Appliance came the next day, and worked on my washer and dyer. They were very efficient, and they hopped to get it done. The tech even had to come back later that night with the part and got it all fixed. Having American Home Shield puts me at ease to know that I have coverage for appliances and our pool equipment. It’s very comforting to know that if anything happens, I will have coverage and get things fixed.

    It was a relatively new home when I purchased it. It's nine years old. The inspection was great when we were going through the buying process. Then, we've been in the house for less than a month and we've had three warranty claims. So, American Home Shield pays for itself very quickly. One of our repairs would've exceeded the price of the warranty, and now we're up to doubling the price of the warranty so, it was a no-brainer to go with it.

    The kitchen sink was leaking into the cupboard underneath it and I did the claim online to AHS. I prefer it that way because it’s faster and it's what I’ve done in the past. They’re good about responding but it is limited as far as what I can request. If there was an issue with my regulator valve such as a pressure valve, there's no option on their website to select that. So, I had to check down something that wasn't right and when the technician came out, they said that it was not what I said. I said that it was the only thing I could check. Air Pro Master was able to fix the issue. They were timely and professional. The plumber that I've had every time AHS has sent out someone is great and I like working with him. He's very friendly and gives me a heads-up before he comes over. I'm very pleased with him.

    I've been an AHS customer for a long time and they called me to renew. I told them that I wasn’t happy with a service that I had last year for our dryer, which is still not right. They said they would offer me $100 credit if I renewed and I said okay. Then I had my AC repaired and they wanted me to pay before they came, which is how they've always done it. I told them that I have a credit. The one biggest problem is that the people you talk to are in Malaysia and can’t understand you. They said that I have credit and don't have to pay.

    Next thing I know, I get an email saying that I’m delinquent. It took me hours on the phone to get it resolved and everybody I talked to was across the pond. They kept saying that I don’t have a credit and I say that I do. Finally, they said that I had credit and that they'd generate the form. But they never did. Then, finally, I ended up talking to somebody in America, a renewal supervisor, who could understand what I was talking about and had the ability to take care of the issue. He sent me an email saying I had a credit. He was great and followed up with me. If I hadn’t forced the issue, I would not have gotten the credit and I would have to pay the 100 bucks. By the time it was all done, it took about six hours. If you say you’re gonna do something, then do it and don’t make me waste my time for hours.

    Original Review: Oct. 22, 2019

    If you expect American Home Shield to replace your air conditioner forget it. We had an 18 year old air conditioning system that failed in August in Las Vegas. We have been with AHS for at least 15 years. When one of our two 4 ton AC's broke down they sent someone out the next day. He said we need a new compressor We said okay. The next day AHS called and said the compressor would not be covered because it was installed improperly. We bought this house from the builder over 18 years ago and have had little or no trouble with the two units. How bad could the installation have been if it ran for 18 years in the Las Vegas heat.

    Since it was 110 degrees we didn't even wait for the second opinion as we were two senior citizens in a house that got up to 90 degrees. We went ahead and replaced the air conditioner as we couldn't be in the house for any more time with the weather conditions. I guess if we collapsed our child would have sued American Home Shield. So again if you are thinking of getting a AHS contract forget about it ever covering your Air Conditioner if it needs to be replaced.

    I went back and forth with customer service for almost two months because the contractor they hired wouldn't schedule a diagnostic meeting with me. There was a misunderstanding between them because American Home Shield didn't have the correct contact information for the contractor and they wouldn't accept me trying to tell them they had missing information. The contractor thought he needed a work order to even step foot on my property, which American Home Shield sent out

    AFTER the third time I called them to say that there was a misunderstanding on their part. They were also passive aggressive when I told them that I was frustrated that the process was taking so long and that I had waited almost two months for one service to complete and that I didn't think it was fair that they charge me for a second service. The representative on the line told me they would transfer me to another line, it went quiet for ten minutes and they hung up on me when I was on hold. I hope they shape up soon.

    I have been dealing with this for months. I was told that there were specific coverages to my AHS ac unit, come to find out they gave me incorrect information.

I ask the two supervisors to pull the call and guess what I have not heard back from them for months.

    I call customer service a few times (which is outsourced) and they keep asking me to tell the same story I have told the two supervisors. I ask the outsourced customer service reps to be transferred to the supervisors I spoke to or the their manager and I’m told they can’t, but they will send them an email. No one still won’t call. I then ask for email address for complains, they don’t have one is what I’m told, I was then given an address to mail my complaint to (don’t trust they will admit they received it). They said they have no facebook or social media page. This has been the worst customer service experience I have received. This is my first time dealing with AHS. Not even sure what to do next.

    American Home Shield sent a plumber to my home that was apparently not been vetted. The plumber stole money from me by charging me for something that was already covered by the contract agreement and swapping out a 80 gallon hot water heater and replacing it with a 50 gallon. It's now going on 6 months and american home shield has yet to resolve the issue.

    When you call you will more than likely get a pleasant voice on the other line to reassure you that everything will be fine. Don't fall for it. Try getting in touch with corporate headquarters, talking to a manager, or someone from the approval department or the escalation department. You won't. If I can save at least one person the headache I've experienced I'll feel better. And if you don't believe me do your research by checking out more reviews on the internet.

On 9/8/19 I paid American Home Shield $133.75 for a service request for my refrigerator, the technician came and said he needs to change the fridge door it has to be ordered and it will take from 4 to 6 weeks, I waited patiently having to spend extra money in food to feed my family, since my kids can't open the fridge to get food.

    I called the technician after 4 weeks for an update, the hold time is over 50 minutes. I waited until the calls just disconnected itself. Out of desperation on 10/17/19 I informed America Home Shield that I don't have anything back from the technician, American Home Shield never returned my call, then on 10/21/19 I called America Home Shield, the customer service lady was able to speak with the technician and he informed her that they don't have any door or record of a door ordered for my fridge, then she offered a "cash-out": that is giving me the money to find and pay another technician my self.

    Really? Evidently the American Home Shield cant fix my fridge, when I paid in full my contract I was offered a home warranty that fix or replace my appliances no one said anything about "cash-out" or wait over 6 weeks and still don't fix my fridge or don't have any intention to fix it.

You also have to wait an extraordinarily long time for most service. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your refrigerator or your air-conditioning.

    The vendor selected by AHS has been untimely, unresponsive, and incompetent. AHS will not reassign to another vendor. They offer no accommodation, no alternative, and no relief. As a customer, you are at a complete disadvantage. Their solution to a no-show by their vendor (having missed a day of work for no reason) is to book another appointment with that same vendor. Multiple no-shows makes no difference. Hundreds of one star ratings for that vendor makes no difference. There is no published address for complaint mail and it is against company policy for the phone representative to allow you to speak to a supervisor or manager. There is no level of customer service.

    The part of the AC that sits outside on the ground wasn’t spinning, and so the unit itself was getting hot. I just got my contract with American Home Shield at the beginning of October, so it was a coincidence having it go out three weeks after the contract went into effect. But this is the first time I’ve used it, and it was super easy. I called the 800 number on a Sunday, not expecting to hear anything ’til the next day. Within a couple of hours, somebody called me back to tell me what was going on to get an appointment schedule. The tech from Cabot Mechanical was very nice. Because we are new to American Home Shield, he was really informative about their process and some of the inner workings of using that contract that I had some questions about.

    We sighed up for the annual furnace check with AHS and when their tech from Best Heating came out, they found that the board in our furnace was bad. They had to go out and find a replacement for us. AHS called me to authorize the additional charge to replace the board. The tech was able to find a board that was about 10 minutes away from our house and went to get it. He brought it back and installed it the same day. The furnace has been working just fine since then. AHS's warranty has been a great thing to have. It has given us peace of mind with our new home purchase.

    American Home Shield sent Discount for my ice maker and the guy that came out was really professional. He went through everything and explained what was going on. He told me what to watch for in the next week or two to see. Now, it’s still leaking and this has definitely affected my house. I live in Southeast Texas and it’s warm out here and we need ice.

    I thought that all the appliances in my house were covered through AHS but the air conditioner and heater in the garage isn't. The appliance came with the house and I was upset because I asked them if it would be covered when I bought the thing, and they told me yes. Still, the warranty is worth it, especially if you have an appliance in your house that’s not cheap.

    I had two experiences with American Home Shield. One was a good experience and one was a bad experience. The good experience was there was a heater-air conditioning split unit that needed to be replaced. And the first contractor that came out gave the diagnosis of it not being able to be replaced. American Home Shield had a second opinion. They came out and, again, they had said that it needed full replacement and they approved it for replacement.

    Speaking with a representative at AHS is awful. I go online and submit everything online. The representatives don’t understand the words I'm saying and that’s happened every time I’ve called. They say, “We’ll call you back or we’ll take care of it”, and nothing ever happens and they know it because they don’t understand a word I'm saying. I don’t have that same experience online and it’s not the same group of people that do it through the chat. So, I will wait and I don’t care if I have to wait days for those people show up for the online chat, it’s much easier to even ask if something’s covered, to do the online chat versus to try to get it resolved by phone.

    We had one claim recently and that’s still not resolved. The contractor came to the house high, like on drugs. So, I’m trying to get it done, to assign it to a different provider. He also made it worse. The problem was just something minor, like a sink leaking, and he took the faucet knobs and made them backwards. So, it went from a small little leak to now, I have a backward faucet. Their response was, "We have to give them an opportunity to correct it,” which is fine. But then, they just never got back to me. I kept calling. Then that ended up like it’s getting really annoying. So then, I just opened a new ticket.

    What sucks about that is I have to pay another $75 when you open a new ticket. But then, they’ll assign that same provider. And when I’ve asked them, “Can you just assign a different provider ‘cause this is my experience with them.” They said they couldn’t do that. So now, I keep going in and canceling the ticket and re-opening the ticket every day to try to get it assigned to a different provider.

    I gotta go in there again today, and then every time I do that, it charges my credit card, so I make sure I get a credit for that $75. I know that sounds awful, but I can’t have him come back out. It’s been ongoing for months and I’ve already had to pay another $75. So, I don’t want them to send out the same guy. And my husband asked them if they could just send out somebody else but they never got back to us at all. They can’t control the guy coming out. I hope they could just reassign it to somebody else if you don’t want that provider to come in your home anymore. But overall, AHS has been very helpful.

    Recently the bottom of the water heater rusted out, and I ended up calling it in at American Home Shield ‘cause I was fussing with turning off the water to the water heater, hooking up a hose and starting to drain it so it wasn’t gonna leak all over my floor. The process wasn’t too bad except for trying to get my credit card together before the message thing timed out on me. American Home Shield just gave me a live person to complete the process. Advanced Home Services looked at the heater and they were like, “You need a new one.” We just had to wait for the claim to go through. The heater went out on a Tuesday and we had a new one by Friday. It felt longer than what you want it to be when it has to do with hot water, but it’s still reasonable.

    The air conditioning quit working in the house. I initially submitted the first claim online and when the first contractor was assigned to my job, they couldn’t get out for four days. It is a rental property, so I needed to get it fixed for my tenant. We live in the south, so it was hot. I called American Home Shield and a really nice guy that I talked to called around and was able to find a contractor that could get out the same day.

    The contractor came out late that afternoon. There was horrible traffic around town so they were late. They called back the next day to get my credit card info to charge me for the extra Freon that wasn’t covered with AHS, and gave me a discount because they did run so late they missed their window by 30 or 45 minutes. This particular experience was great. I had some plumbing issues that they had sent out a couple different plumbers that didn’t really seem up to snuff. But, overall, my experience was okay. If someone would ask about American Home Shield, I'd tell them it’s worth it depending on your situation and what the house is like. It can be worth the money.

    When I called American Home Shield for the dishwasher and the microwave, I got a $100 trip charge. Two different servicemen came and corrected the problem, which was wonderful. Then I called for the electric and the plumbing. For the plumbing, the contractor worked on my kitchen faucet three times but it still leaked. They also worked on my bathroom shower three times and it always leaked. The plumber put new knobs on the shower and fixed it. It’s fine now, but the kitchen faucet dripped more after he fixed it. I said that I was told I needed a new faucet. He said okay but he had to get authorization. Then someone came and put a new faucet on.

    On the electric, I had three issues- the GFI switch, the smoke alarm, and the ceiling fan. The guy that AHS gave me, Jim, talked to me on the phone and said, “We can’t do manufactured houses. My liability doesn’t cover it.” I said okay and I called American Home Shield. I said that Jim couldn't do it and asked them to send me somebody else. I got four emails saying that Jim, the same guy, was gonna come. Then I got a call from Jim and he said that he'd come over and look at the problem. Three of them came into my house and looked at the switch on the wall. I’ve never seen somebody bring three men in somebody’s house just to fix small electrical problems. There was him, the owner, and two men in their 20s and I didn’t appreciate that at all.

    Jim said he couldn't touch the switch because the wall was gonna fall apart. I said to forget it. Then he replaced the GFI switch in the bathroom. Then he took the fan down and he said, “I can’t put a fan up there. My liability won’t cover it.” Then why did he take it down? He said that he can’t put a new one up because I don’t have a light on the top to hold it. I said that I’ve been here 11 years and had a fan in every room, and none have ever fallen down. He put the old one back up and said he couldn’t fix it. Then all he needed to do with the smoke alarm was to plug it in and then he left.

    I called AHS and said that Jim did such and such, but could not do the fan and that I needed the fan fixed. The rep said he'd see who else they could get to come out. I asked if I get one trip charge and he said yes. I got a call from J.E.M. Electric. The tech came and got authorization first. He then put a new ceiling fan in. It works fine now and it’s not gonna fall down.

    AHS took 100 for the small appliances, 100 for the electric, and 100 for the plumber and that was supposed to be it. But I got three invoices from Jim. They’re all for the same date but each invoice was $100. I don’t know what his problem is and I would never have Jim in my house again. He couldn’t even fix the problem. He told me he couldn’t fix it before he even came so, why come?

    I’ve been with AHS in Florida, New York, and in Arizona for 15 years and now, I keep getting invoices, which I had never gotten from them. I’m also getting texts from them saying my account is in serious arrears. I had the work done in October, but he now needs to tell me that I didn’t pay? I have paid completely. I have good credit and they always take out the $100 when they provide service. It has never been a problem, but now, they’re sending me these letters like I’m in bad credit after all these years and I don’t appreciate that.

    I called AHS yesterday and I explained the situation to the rep. She said I still owe $100. And I said that I didn't. She said that one of the representatives put the claim on the electric in singly instead of all on the same thing. She couldn’t help me and said she had to escalate it, send it to the higher-ups and let them review it. She said that they will call me back between 24 and 48 hours and to call again if they don’t.

    I really hope American Home Shield corrects this problem because I’m really discouraged now. This has really disturbed me because it hasn’t been resolved yet. I’m waiting for them to tell me that I don’t owe the bill. They’ve taken $300 and that was what they were supposed to take. I am very unhappy with them. When they come up on the internet, I used to always put in a comment that I’ve always been satisfied with them, but not anymore.

    I called an AHS rep when my oven went out and they answered the phone quickly. At first, they sent a technician to see if they could fix it but the part that they needed was no longer being made because it was so old. So, AHS replaced my oven. There was one part of a contractor’s call that they told me that the item was gonna be replaced. And then, AHS sent me stuff via email to let me decide whether to take the replacement or take the cash option. That was very easy to understand. And when the oven came, the contractor contacted me and it didn't take a long time for them to schedule a time. The contractors that came and installed the unit were very nice. However, I called and paid an electrician to put the oven in because they said my house needed to be rewired, and it didn't. The electrician said that the contractor could have just took the cap off and plugged it in, but they didn't. But that was the only thing that I have to pay.

    I had been an AHS customer for 15 years the first. But before I switched, there was a clog in my plumbing line, which caused my washer to flood. My tub and toilets weren't working, and I had an elderly person and children. And holding for 45 minutes to an hour, when I’m trying to get the water to stop, was just not acceptable. I needed some help so I left. But this time, they answered the phone, and the service was prompt and good. I tried another company before and they were horrible. So, I decided to go back with American Home Shield. When I called just to see if the wait was still long and I got right through, I switched back because their service has always been good and I've always liked it. I was gone for about a year. And now, I've been with AHS for two months now. Overall, AHS service is great.

Communication was good over email as far as what was going on back-and-forth. It seemed to be a really smooth. I was gonna call them because I have it set for automatic payment and the payment has gone up. I don’t know if they raise their rate if you file a claim or not. But I know that my monthly payment has gone up. So, I need to backtrack and look at that a bit and see what exactly is going on with that.

    So far, everything went really, really smooth. My tenant said that everything was done in a timely fashion.

    When our dishwasher was leaking, I went online to submit a claim for the repair. AHS sent a service repair out but they were unable to repair it, so we went to getting a replacement. The repairman submitted whatever he needed to on his end so that AHS would know the dishwasher was irreparable and that we needed to do the replacement. I called AHS to speak with them about the replacement and the reps I spoke with were thorough. We took the cash-out option so that we could just go and purchase the dishwasher we wanted and the company we purchased it from are just gonna do the install. So, we're paying a little more out-of-pocket than what they'll provide, which is totally fine, but it's getting in quickly. Our new dishwasher is coming this week.

    I've been an AHS customer for 15 months and the contractor that was sent have been out here for a couple of different appliances and they've always been really good with explaining what's going on and giving us as much information that they know, like how the process works with AHS.

Their contractor snaked the pipe and pulled out soil debris from it, but when I used the washer again, the same thing happened. I had water over and there was a big mess. A day later, another gentleman came out and he told me that roots have grown into the pipeline, about 25 ft. out from the house. I have a shed sitting over that pipe. It's not covered by Home Shield, and it’s going to be a very expensive fix, so I’m not gonna do that. I just had my washer rigged so that it drains in another way.

Mr. Appliance of North Modesto came out and Alex interfaced with the guy. The guy contacted me and told me what his schedule was and I gave him my grandson's telephone number and they coordinated it. And according to what Alex told me, everything went really smoothly and everything got taken care of. Mr. Appliance gave a window of time when they could be there. And what the guy did was he called Alex when he was getting ready to go to the house. So Alex didn't have to spend hours and hours waiting for him to show up.

    I have a friend who had American Home Shield, and then he went to some cheaper company. And he was completely dissatisfied with their service. So far, American Home Shield has done right to us.

They managed to fix that. Also, washing machine wasn’t draining right and they fixed that as well. Additionally, my range needed a new cover and a board. Since they came, everything has worked great. They did a great job.

    We had a leak and the contractor came out the first time but I didn’t have time for them to look around because they were a little late. So, we rescheduled and they came back out, and they determined that it was the toilet. It had a crack below it putting about a handful of water out every time that we flushed that was causing a leak into my living room.

    I did the claim online and I loved the website but I put notes in there for them to call me because their options are very limited when you request for service. You click “Request Service” and you check “Faucet and Toilet”, but you can’t say what’s happening with it. Once you hit “Submit”, it would tell you that a contractor would be in contact with you. I didn’t hear from somebody for two days and then, I got a call. When the contractor called me to schedule, I had to explain the problem to them but once they were there, we were good to go. They were very proficient with their text messages and their time. I was sent the new toilet but the contractor said putting it on wasn’t part of their services and I had to pay somebody else to come in and put the new toilet on. Still, the experience with AHS was good once we got the process going.

    Filing a claim for a refrigerator and a dishwasher online was pretty easy. American Home Shield said the contractors were gonna contact me within 24 hours. The contractors who came were quick and professional. They came out once to order the parts, but it was about two weeks before one of the parts came in, which was quite a while. And there wasn't much contact in that time. They repaired the issues and unfortunately, since then, there has been a flood in my entire house. I don't know necessarily if it was directly related to the repair of the dishwasher, but right now my entire house is gutted because of the flood.

    Ace's Garage Door Repair came out to check my garage door and at first, the guy said, “Oh, the wheel is too old, so we have to replace it.” He also said that the string right on the top of it was old and overheated. So, he replaced the parts and I got a new wheel and a new string. Then he pressed on the button again but something just broke in the middle so I had to have that replaced new too. After that, we still have to really hold the button to press the door down, or even when we try to pull it up, we have to hold the button as it was not moving at all.

    Since the door was still not working well, he checked the two lights--one is red and the other one is green--right in the bottom left and right of the door, but they were not the reason the door was not working. So, he continued to check and fix, and I paid a lot. But now, everything is working well. I have had American Home Shield since June and they are doing great. I also had a claim for my AC last time because the fan is locked down, and the girl who came to fix it did it really quick. She took about 15 minutes and the AC is now working great as well.

    In each house I owned, I've always used AHS so I've had them for close to 30 years now. Historically, I really love their service and the way things are taken care of when I call in with a claim. However, this time, particularly on the last one, they're not as user-friendly anymore. The phones ring and ring, but no one answers. Even the contractors couldn't get a hold of them. Also, I've had to do everything online now, which I don’t mind, but sometimes there were certain issues where I needed to speak to a human. And they didn't call me back. They gave me a confirmation number, but I still didn't speak to a human. While the average consumer likes that, we all aren’t millennials. The personal touch of speaking to someone is tops always, and it just wasn’t there.

    In my last claim, I got Supreme Plumbing and their communication is very good. I let them know that I was home and if they wanted to come earlier, they were welcome. It worked out great. The guy who came out needed to speak with AHS. But all day, for every call he went on, he said, “They don’t freakin’ answer.” He kept working and the phone just rang. Despite not being able to contact AHS, the guy was very knowledgeable. He realized right away that whoever had done the job before him didn't do it right. He looked and fixed it. While the AHS customer service part sucked, it was a really great experience. I won’t change my mind in staying with them.

    I have every one of my family that’s already bought AHS. I haven’t had it quite a year and I had used it twice. 50 percent of my claims were above and beyond wonderful. So, I’m gonna keep the policy. I’ve been very pleased with it, and I recommend it to anybody. It’s extremely easy putting a claim in. I go online and fill it out in less than 60 seconds, and then within 24 hours, someone calls to make an appointment with me to come out and diagnose it.

    I had a dishwasher issue and A-Appliance Service fixed it very quickly. The serviceman was above and beyond. He said what the problem was, what was needed to be done and that he would have to order the part and be back in five to seven days. I travel a lot. So, I was gonna be out of town and was not gonna be here in those days. We would had to have put it off much in the future. He said he would see if he could find that part in town and get it to me before I go out of town, and he did. He left early and he did everything he said, and it was beyond convenient. In the past, I didn't think the service providers were exactly top-notch. I had a claim on a refrigerator, and the service provider didn’t care about my time, like any convenience for me with work or they could just care less, and I just had to work with them. And that was a little unimpressive. But all in all, the claim came out good and I was very satisfied in the end.

The plumbing took four days including the weekend, and the electrical was 24 hours. I called for the plumbing on Thursday and the contractor didn’t come out till Monday, so we had to sit there with a clogged sink for the whole weekend and a weekday. The tech said it was some kind of a stoppage in the kitchen sink to where it wouldn’t flow, so he used some machinery. He was very professional and on time. Now, it’s draining.

And then they double charged me, but then they reimbursed me, so it was totally fixed. I was happy that I could do the two for the one price. That was really nice. Everyone was really friendly and helpful like when we had a situation too. They were pretty apologetic and got it fixed. It took a little while and that was the only thing.

AHS usually tells us they will contact within 24 hours as long as it’s like a regular business day. For the majority of the time they do. But a couple of times we’ve had to follow-up, and there’s been back and forth.

    But we’ve only had one contractor that we weren’t pleased with. We had some kind of sewage smell coming from the water closet. The person who came in was at the house less than four minutes. He walked in and said, “That’s a problem that I can’t fix. It’s not covered.” That was it. He didn't look pleased to be there, nor pleased to see who he was servicing. The last time it took a little while for the contractor to get out, but we submitted on a Friday. So, we had to wait until Monday for them to come.

    We had a positive experience with AHS. We got whatever we wanted. The only thing was we had an issue with the HVAC fan, which got overheated and stopped, and it was not really in a good shape, but they just said that AHS will not let us replace the fan unless it breaks. So, it cooled down after two days. And when I called the person to come look at it, it started working. So, it's an interesting situation where the fan was leaking as it aged. But at the same time, the thing got shut down for two days. I just shut off the HVAC because the fan started working, and when it came, it was all cool. So, when he turned it on, it started working. It was a positive experience in that sense that you got a person to come and do this. But because the coil was leaking, the guy showed up on me on Tuesday and not the next day. But then, the good news was the weather was not crazy, so we were okay after Monday. AHS has been good for us.

    Right now, we haven’t seen any problem. But the guy said, “If it fails within a month, you wouldn’t have to pay the co-payment,” but I don’t want it to fail. Overall, I'm very happy because we have used AHS, so far, four times, including my rental property, and all the time, somebody came and they fixed the issue. They also came to our rental property and there was some leak and they put some liquid to seal the leak. So, they worked fine. But the other contractor, the Carolina Air, that company came to our house and those guys were the ones who would not replace the blower fan.

So, I decided to go back with AHS last year. I was using a heating and cooling unit here, but they were a little high. I'd rather use AHS and pay the money. At least they knew what they were doing. But I didn't like the heating and cooling unit that AHS sent out. The tech just messed around with stuff. I asked him if he was gonna change my filter and he said that he didn't think that he was supposed to do that. The filter has always been changed during the pre-season check. So I told him that I had a filter and all he needed to do was to change it. He finally changed it. I don't want him again, but everybody else has been great.

    I've been submitting claims with American Home Shield online and their website is pretty user-friendly. The dryer vent guy from Porch did a fine job and even though the guy from Accurate Service wasn't friendly, he did a great job on the refrigerator. Somebody called and set up an appointment and then that guy came in and went straight to the refrigerator. He looked at it and then went out, got a part, came in and fixed it. He then said that I should have ice in about two hours and he left. But it worked fine.

The process of submitting claims to AHS is very easy as I’ve got an option to call in and do it or I can go in to the website and submit service requests. I've been able to call them and say, "Hey, this thing is happening with my house. Is it covered?" and they’re good about answering it.

    I usually go online to put in a claim and it works good. They tell you who's gonna be there, and when they're gonna be there. I've had AHS for a year and I was really satisfied with the garage door claim. The guy called me up the same night and they were there the next day. They fixed it perfectly and everything went fine. But for the toilet claim, I was unsatisfied with that.

    The handle of the toilet was loose. It had nylon nut on the inside and I was turning it. I tightened it up. I noticed there was a little bitty line there, and I had to mess with it. It got water and then water starting running out. The tank cracked but I didn't break it intentionally. The contractor came and was there for a couple of minutes. They said they would see me later. I asked when and he said he didn't know and I didn't hear anymore from them. I called American Home Shield and they said they would charge me $75 for that. They didn't bother even telling me they weren't gonna fix it, and then that was it. Nobody ever came back. I told them not to come back again. If you're working on your furnace or your hot water heater and something went wrong, you're just stuck.

    They didn't tell me they weren't gonna cover it until I looked online and called them up. They said the claim was finished but they didn't fix anything. They said it was denied because I broke it and I was abusing my toilet for trying to take the handle off it. With car insurance, if you accidentally do something to your car, they pay you for it. But if you gotta do something to the toilet, better get your billfold out 'cause it's gonna cost you. Water was running out on the floor and I got it turned off and cleaned it all up. We had to wait five days for them to come in for two minutes, charge me $75, and not fix it. If they weren't gonna do it, they shoulda told me upfront, and I could've fixed it myself over the weekend. I had to go over to Lowe's and pay $236 for a toilet and get it fixed myself. I paid $1,200 for the insurance but American Home Shield left a bad taste in my mouth. I would never ever use them or recommend them again.

    The AC wasn’t working and Comfort First Heating and Cooling came out. They fixed it and it started working. They changed the compactor on it. Then when my wife was sitting here around about 1:00 at night, the AC was on, and the heat just turned on by itself. We had a thunderstorm early that night. I don’t know if that caused it. The contractor came back out. They looked at it and didn’t do anything. It was working fine.

    The following night, same thing happened. We were sitting in here. I just got up, getting ready for work. All of a sudden, the heat kicked in, and it went up to about 80-some degrees. I cut off the heater but it wouldn’t cut off. So I had to go outside and turn the breaker off to cut the heat off. We had AC on that night, and it was still on. But everything with American Home Shield has been nice to me, so far. And I would tell anybody else on to it. Submitting a claim hadn’t been a difficult process. I’d rather call and talk to somebody, but I can do it online, too. The contractors had a very professional attitude as well.

    When we used the garage opener, it did not work. I thought it was broken because we tried everything, but we couldn’t open it. One of the guys from Midwest Door Specialists came out and he was very nice and professional. I was not home, but he called on my cellphone, I told him to call my husband, I provided the phone number and it didn’t take long for him to get home. He showed my husband everything that was going on. He said the door was not even broken. It's just that it pressed on the wrong button, so he showed us what to do next time. He was a very good guy.

    I submitted a claim online to AHS because my heating unit had to be repaired. The claim process was easy. I like doing it online ‘cause you don’t really have to wait on hold. The process was also pretty simple. I just chose what type of heating unit I got. And the repair guys called me within a couple of hours to schedule an appointment. The heating was just blowing cold air. The heat wasn’t kicking in. Now, the heating works.

The contracted company came out and the springs on the door had to be replaced, and several things on the door had to be replaced or updated. They checked out the motor, and then they put it back together. The techs were great. They were on time and very knowledgeable. They were very helpful, and they made great recommendations.

    I noticed that something wasn’t working a couple of days after I moved in. The knobs on the stove top were stuck in position and would not turn on. The contractor couldn't schedule for a little bit and I wish things could have been quicker, but we’re a little bit more rural and so, we understand. By that time, I figured out the oven didn't work, and then, the panel was somewhat working. It took two visits to get things taken care of because by the time he figured that the oven has shorted out, it has messed up the panel. Then, he realized that by the second visit, somebody went in and tried to fix something, and some of the screws were missing. Some of the stuff were not in place and jumbling around in there, and it was causing the short.

    I’m glad I didn't do a survey with the home inspector because one of those things could’ve been caught but you trust that they're gonna go through the whole gamut of the items to make sure it’s functioning well. It was frustrating to not have a stove top and oven for almost a month and a half. We had a barbecue, so we just kinda resorted to that. The contractor was very patient, understanding and he explained everything really well. He was very professional, efficient and good. So, he was awesome. I’d use him again and I'd recommend him too.

However, when I needed a hot water heater and the inspector came out, he didn’t approve it. And so, when I called the company to come back and fix what didn’t pass inspection, they told me they weren’t responsible for that.

    I called American Home Shield and explained what happened. The other company finally came out and corrected the thing that they said they were gonna charge me an extra $100 for the service call. I called American Home Shield back and they said that they would take care of it, so they did a good job of mediating with me and the other company.

The contractor sent all that information in to AHS on the first and yesterday I was contacted and told that the part would be in on Friday. AHS' reps set an appointment for me on Monday. They've been spot on in terms of communicating. I also love that they send text messages to my phone to let me know status updates. Unfortunately, it sucks ‘cause it’s really cold and it’s winter and my heat’s out. Even so, AHS has been excellent in terms of customer service, feedback, just making sure everything’s moving as fast as it can be. I wish they could get the part a little faster but everything else has been great.

    IRH Plumbing came out recently for the water heater which rotted. I had called American Home Shield, spoke with a rep and it was good. They didn't call back quite as soon because it was a weekend, but the contractor that came was very professional. From the time I filed the claim, it was very quick. I had hot water again by Tuesday night, and it's good to have a shower again.

We called American Home Shield because we thought something was up with our unit. Also, I got an email from AHS about the $75 tune-up to get ready for winter. I called other places prior and they were more expensive. So we called AHS and within 30 minutes, they had it scheduled.

    Everything has been pretty efficient when I submit a claim to Home Shield. It's very nice to do claims online. I find it easy because I’m a truck driver and I have tenanted houses. So it gives me the ability to set it up without even picking the phone up or speaking to anyone. And then I can just phone or text my tenant so that they can make the necessary appointment, and it leaves me out of the loop. But you can also call and they will send you a notification of the contractor’s name and number so that you could set an appointment. It works pretty well. And then once they contractor is done, Home Shield asks for a survey on how their service contractor behaved and whether they were prompt and finished the job. So, they’re doing very well.

    Most of the time that I had plumbing issues, Home Shield sends Reliable to me, who are very prompt and pretty good at what they do. They're doing several jobs for us. They’ve done the air conditioning, old plumbing issues, and clogged drains. They’ve also replaced a couple of water heaters. They normally get to the job pretty quickly, and they sort it out first-time fix. Always been taking care of their appointments. I’m pretty happy with them. They do a pretty god job. They have to liaise with my tenant to get access and they seem to be a pretty well-established company. I’m pretty happy with American Home Shield because I built four properties, and they look after all of them. They fix anything from a ceiling fan, to a refrigerator, to a blocked drain, to plumbing issues.

    I’ve only had one callback to a job on a washing machine, which the contractor came and said that we needed a new one. The parts were too expensive to repair it. So, on one of my properties, Home Shield provided an air conditioning unit at no charge to me. They also provided a washing machine at a discounted price. And you get the chance to pick it. You get their discounts that they have and they will deliver it.

    American Home Shield is pretty good from my point of view because if they can’t fix it, they replace it. It’s pretty good value for money. Also, if the problem was not fixed, you can call them within the guarantee period, and then they’ll send the contractor out again if there’s anything else. So, I’ve had pretty good experiences with them. I’ve been with them for quite a number of years, and I’ve not had any problems with American Home Shield or any of the contractors that they’ve sent out. They seem to be pretty responsive, and they generally will fix most thing first time.

    Whenever we went to turn the heater on, you could hear it would start its sequence, but then it would just shut off. And then it was doing some other weird things with the thermostat. Submitting the claim to American Home Shield went very easy with no problems at all. So I was very happy with that. Grady’s came out and checked the heater. The tech said there was some part in the attic that was bad. He also changed the thermostat in the hallway because he said if you bumped it, the battery would lose power. So, they went ahead and changed the thermostat and that other piece up there. They got it done just in time for the major cold spell that we had the very next day. It worked out very well.

    The technician was great. His name was William, and he explained everything. They had to get the part from Webster, which is about 20 miles from here. They had someone over there already, so they picked the part up and brought it back. He did another heater check, and then they came back with the part and installed it. American Home Shield does an excellent job. They stand behind what they sold us as far as a warranty. They get someone out here within 24 hours to check it out and try to get it taken care of. So, I’m very pleased with it. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

We went out and bought a washer-dryer set to get a new one in the house. AHS replaced it once and the new one would break down every two weeks. It had always worked but you had to fight it to make it work, which was not the way it was supposed to be done. Our washing machine was suffering bad and we had the contractor out three times but AHS wouldn't upgrade it because they thought they could make it work. They kept fixing it as well as billing it. They finally gave us a stipend for the washing machine, so we got a little bit for that but they said the dryer was working good enough and they didn’t do anything for it.

    My experience with AHS is good. When I needed something, I could schedule anything online without calling them. And, that’s the easy part. Our recent claim was for a washer. We saw the water was dripping from the front door. So, we thought it might be some leak. I went online and submitted the claim request to AHS. I got an email from AHS. And, the service company was going to contact me. But I called them because I needed the service, so I could get an escalated request. The contractor came here the second day. He gave the next day appointment itself because they have the slots available. So, it was done very quickly. But it was not a leak, but it was something we had to with the place. It was a very minor thing. So, he explained how things work. It was very good.

    I have two properties. For both properties, the contract is with American Home Shield. I have one comment though because there is a standard $100 service fee we had to pay. The contractor just came there and he showed that I didn’t do that cleaning. Apart from my monthly fee, if I am scheduling a service, that $100 I thought is a bit expensive. I compared it with other industries and different companies, when they offer the same service, they don’t do the $100 deductibles. If it is a major repair, I can understand. But for such kind of things, I think that $100 is expensive. I was talking to my friends and they said, “Oh, man. There are some other companies.” And they said they don’t pay any deductible for anything. They just come and do the service, and they just go.

    I prefer to do my claims online with AHS. It’s a pretty easy website. And the contractors, so far, have been fine. But when we had an issue with the pool equipment we had a ridiculous Chinese fire drill of getting people out here. The first electrician that was sent out to do it didn’t due his due diligence and check everything. It was really inconvenient and right during the height of swimming season. And in Texas, it’s really hard to keep your pool clear if you’re not circulating. We went through that for at least a month until finally they sent a different guy out with the electrician who said, “Mmm, it’s the panel, and somebody didn’t check this.” The guy was able to fix it and we went on from there.

    And to be fair with any home warranty you have to have the right expectation. Most people have problem with expectation. I know that my husband does. You could still end up with a pretty sizeable bill that you have to pay, like we did with our air conditioner. But they are gonna fix it until it explodes, or disintegrates, or they can no longer have parts ordered for it and fixed. Despite different stream of visits, if it’s all on one service call, you’re only gonna pay the one time fee. Just like with our pool, we paid the one time when they came out with the electrical and that was all covered. But if you’re talking about getting it fixed down the road, three months or whatever something breaks, you’re gonna pay another $75.

    Obviously, that’s how they make their money and I get that. But it’s frustrating when you expect more coverage than you’re getting. It’s a problem with expectation and results. But we’ve been really happy with a couple of things. With our pool for instance, aside for that one initial problem, we’ve been pretty happy with how it works. The pool claim has been pretty straightforward.

    The air conditioner is always an issue. It’s like, “Oh, yeah, we’ll come out. All of this is covered, but you need eight units of Freon. Well, that’s gonna be $600, because we only cover $10 of each unit.” At one point, we had a $1,500 bill when it came to our air conditioner and it was because of the things that were not fixable or were not covered. So, was it a lot less than if we had hired somebody on our own? Yes, it was. You just kinda have to be able to balance your expectations with the reality of what you’re really getting, and that it is a better deal if you use it. Like we’ve got a 23-year-old house and we bought it last year, and it’s got older -- the air conditioner is definitely older and all that kind of stuff, and we’ve been able to get it fixed every time. But nine times out of ten, when we’ve called, there has been a larger charge for us besides the $75 visit fee.

    It was really funny because as we moved into this house and had our first disappointment, they ran a thing on the news. And it was like, “Holy cow, that’s exactly what happened to us.” And that’s what it boils down to is that it’s all expectation and what is actually covered. People think that it covers everything and all I’ll ever have to pay is $75, and that is just not true. And so knowing what I know, I have a very low expectation. I expect it to get fixed, but I don’t expect my air conditioner to get replaced anymore.

    American Home Shield's online process is quick and easy, though I wish that they would give an option to select the company that it gets assigned to. For example, I had to open two different claims related to our refrigerator and I got assigned to two different companies each time, and I just wanted to stick with the company that had come out the first time since they were familiar with our location. I had to call and see if I could get it reassigned.

    We've had work on our refrigerator, our dishwasher and our HVAC. I've had good experience where I hang up the phone or submit the online request and within an hour, I have somebody calling to get something on the schedule. The very first time, we had an issue with the HVAC and I felt like I played phone tag and could not even get a hold of anyone for two weeks. It was ridiculous. I left messages and had zero luck. It was an outside unit before, and now we have a leak from our upstairs unit. The claim is still pending and I'm waiting on a part to be installed. They called to schedule the install, but I was expecting a call from a doctor and it came in while I was on the phone with them, and it's on me now to get back in touch with them.

The tech just needed to order the part and come in and install it. He was in and out in 10 minutes. I had the same issue about three months ago, and I had to call again and repay a service fee for the exact same issue and the exact same repair. Essentially, I had to pay for it two different times within a three or four month period. I was just outside of the warranty window, and it was a brand-new washer lid that was replaced.

    The contractor was supposed to put in a heater that was the same BTU as the original but they put in one that was too big for the existing pipes. More BTU would have more output and realizing that early on would've been very helpful. The heater wasn't tremendously larger but they are very sensitive and if there's not an adequate flow of gases for safety reasons, then it doesn't turn on.

    The heater wouldn't work when they put it in, and one of the technicians saw a part that he didn't think worked, so he replaced the part. Then, he noticed that the heater was not working and he decided that it was because they needed a three-inch pipe. The two-inch pipes weren't wide enough, circumference-wise, to take away the gases as they're supposed to. I had to get my carpenter and somebody should have paid to have him open up the ceiling so that the contractor could accommodate the new pipes, which took a couple of visits. The new pipes are in, the heater works, and now I'm waiting for my carpenter to come and put in all the ceiling pieces back together.

    AAA All Brands Appliance was dispatched out for the AC, which wasn’t coming on. It was working on the thermostat, but the vent outside wasn’t coming on to click it. I did the claim online and I liked that I didn’t have to sit on the phone and call somebody at that moment to ask for service. American Home Shield told me that I should hear something within 24 hours, and the first contractor called within 30 minutes and we scheduled the appointment. However, they didn’t work on my type of unit so I had to wait for another person to come, which was a little bit annoying. Before they call me to schedule, they should know which unit I have. I had to wait another couple of days to get someone else to come.

    The second person AHS sent over was horrible. They kept contacting through text and I kept wanting to talk to someone. I would send out texts wanting to talk to a live person and I wouldn’t get that. They were way too busy for what I needed. And they gave me a huge eight-hour window. But the third company that came was great. The tech called me and then we were able to set it up. I would still recommend AHS to friends.

    We’ve been having a problem for a long time and we just didn’t realize to what extent. We thought something was wrong with the toilet and all the fittings, but it ended up being my floor was uneven. Had I not had the contractor come out, I would have never known that. So, he was able to fix our problems and he said we shouldn’t have anymore. He was very professional and knowledgeable. It was great. I’ve only had to use American Home Shield twice, when I first moved in, and then 10 years later. So far, I’m very happy with them. They are on the spot.

    I don't have any problems with American Home Shield, but canceled from my service because I bought the house and replaced all the appliances in the house. The only thing that were old were the air conditioning systems and both systems were replaced with some help from American Home Shield. And then I had this leak in the sink. I called AHS for 75 bucks to come out and fix that, and I said, "Why am I paying $500 a year when I'm under manufacturer's warranty for everything?" I have some good contractors now, thus the AC contractor I'll follow up with and have them do my tune-ups and everything, and then I've got a plumber now that I can call directly. So, I've got local folks I can rely on that know my house.

    But I like the fact that AHS sends out for things like 75 bucks for tune-ups or 75 bucks program to clean out the dryer vent, although the dryer vent guy, I jumped on that and he said, "Well, it bends through the roof, we can't do it if it bends through the roof," and I said, "Oh, you should have said that in your thing." So, that was useless to me, but it was fine. It served its purpose for when I bought the house. It gave me that year of getting one air conditioner one.

    And then the other air conditioner was a little bit challenging in the fact that when you do an AC system, they say, "Well, here's what we'll pay. Oh, by the way, but to bring everything up to code, that's gonna be two grand out of pocket for you, or three grand out of pocket for you." So I got $1,000 off, and then this last one, they wanna replace the whole system, and only the furnace was bad, so I ended up getting the cash for 750 bucks. I spent 6,500 to do the whole system, and I got 750 back from American Home Shield, and they could have done it all anyway. They were gonna say, "By the time you bring it up to code, it's gonna be two grand out of your pocket." So, I'm like, "I'm in for two, I might as well be in for 6,500, give me 750, and then we'll call it quits."

    If you have a brand new house that you just bought and everything is new and you have the manufacturer's warranty I don't think the warranty adds a lot of value. But if you're buying an old house, it has some things that are over 10 years old for that first year while you figure it out, I'd buy it, or I'd definitely let the seller buy it for me.

    American Home Shield sent out Donnie’s Electric, Plumbing, and Heating & Air and their tech did the garbage disposal. The tech had a flat tire on his truck and he got here on the flat. He was a really nice young man who was very polite, efficient, and clean. He did a wonderful job and everything went great. A new garbage disposal had to be put in. The tech got under the cabinet because the whole bottom of my little garbage disposal was leaking around all the screws. He got all the mess cleaned up, got it out and put the new one in. It’s working like a charm. I've been with AHS for nine years and I will definitely renew with them next year. By then, I'll pay the 75 instead of the 100. I love it.

    I've been with American Home Shield for three months. Their reps were really easy to talk to, but the people that they use are not very reliable. They try to upsell stuff when they come out. When I had a problem with the garage doors, they tried to sell me new springs. They came out to fix the motor, but it was never fixed. I tried to call them to get it back and I just ended up buying new garage door openers and installing them myself. Even though I had them come out to try to take care of the problem, it just wasn’t worth the hassle. The plumbing issue I had filed was my second claim with AHS and their contractor didn’t show up so I ended up cancelling the service with them, and I’m waiting for the refund check to come in.

    I have two claims with American Home Shield. The most recent one was for my sink which had fallen off the granite. I spoke to a person and she was great but it was hard for me to understand her. I couldn't explain to her what was wrong with the sink. And I think that was a reason why we got the wrong person out. The contractor was a plumber and he wasn't able to fix the problem and then he left. He wasn't even here for five minutes. He just walked into the kitchen, looked at the issue and said he would make a report back to American Home Shield and somebody was gonna call me. But nobody else came out and the problem is still not fixed.

    I haven't been able to wash dishes all week, and that's pretty difficult. We need somebody out here to fix it as soon as possible. The other claim was for the refrigerator. Its latch is broken so it doesn't shut properly. It just keeps popping open. The contractor addressed it and he ordered the part, but he hasn't come back to fix it yet.

    We had a garbage disposal issue, which turned out to be something extremely minor. It just had something in the garbage disposal making a noise. That was fixed. We have never owned a house like this before, and we upgraded about 300% when we bought this house from the house we lived in for 25 years. And she wanted a professional to look at it. We had American Home Shield, so we called them. They came out.

    We also had an issue with the pipes and they changed some of the valves out. They put what's known as an expansion tank on the hot water heater, which was kind of upsetting because that wasn't covered under American Home Shield. We had to pay for that. But the garbage disposal thing was paid for. We had an air conditioner problem as well, and we used American Home Shield for that too. Submitting claims with AHS is the normal internet stuff, and I'm pretty much internet illiterate. It takes me a little bit, but other than that, we're good.

    It was time to clean the drain of the AC so the water can flow and drain out of the drain pan. It was filling up the drain pan, and the drain pan was overflowing, so the water was coming out of the AC. Originally, when the first company was supposed to come, they were supposed to clean out the junk in there so the flow can go back. The company sent some guy out there, and he didn't even attempt to go out. He just automatically went into saying that he needed to order a secondary or emergency piece that was gonna cost $800. It was a horrible experience.

    I called American Home Shield and I explained to the rep the issue I was having. He rectified it by sending another company out to see if I would get the same response or the same diagnosis than the other one. When he sent Phil's Good out, they identified it. So, I appreciate that he sent someone else because I could have been stuck with $800 bill. He went above and beyond for me. He listened and understood what I was trying to explain.

    When Phil's Good came out, the tech said that the first guy didn't clean out the tube right. We were missing a piece as far as installation. So, it went back to further than the request I was actually going for. He identified my main problem was I was missing a piece which was preventing the flow of the water out of the AC. So, they fixed it, and it wasn’t the $800 piece that the first company was telling me I needed to get. Phil’s Good did amazing. The tech explained why I was having these issue because I’ve called about the same issue once a year for the last two or three years, and everyone just told me the piece that I needed to buy, which fluctuates as far as the price between 600 and $1,000, but nobody was actually fixing the issue other than Phil's Good.

    The only issue that I had was with American Home Shield's after hours. When it’s the out-of-the-country people over there that takes the call after hours, they are not trying to listen. They just kept saying, “Well, we’ll have somebody call back.” And I waited for two days but I never received a call. I had called back and gotten the other guy that I spoke to. When I actually had someone on the phone from the after hour people, they put me on hold for two hours. One person hung up, and I had to call back. But other than that, American Home Shield did great.

    The motherboard of our furnace broke. I went online and there was an email that said on September 19th, the job was completed. But DMC never came until September 27th to diagnose the problem and said it needed a part. It was very frustrating. I deserved a callback. I called everyday from the 14th until the day that they did finally arrive. I was told by a rep from a call center to speak with Denise. Denise never called back. I emailed them also, never got a return email, no response or whatever. While I was on the line with American Home Shield, two other girls also called DMC. But they never called them back, Denise didn’t answer their call either.

    Finally, I got a call from the service repair guy, and he said, “Are you available today?” I said, “Yes.” And they went and they did it. AHS works out pretty well. I’m pretty confident with them, but this is the second time it’s happened with DMC. The other time, it was in the summer last year with the air conditioning, and it was another problem with Denise. So, if I have a furnace problem again, I will have to somehow ask American Home Shield not to send them out again. I won’t deal with them again. American Home Shield should come down on them and get them to either provide that service or drop them.

    There was something wrong with the air conditioning, which was due to the heater and the first time I called to submit a claim, American Home Shield said they didn’t cover that. That didn’t seem right so I called back again and asked to speak to a supervisor, and they said it was covered. When the contractor came, there were certain parts that AHS didn’t cover so we had to pay out of pocket because we didn’t have time to wait a week for them to get parts. They fixed it, then we paid them for the part instead of waiting for AHS to approve anything. They wouldn't have approved it anyway. They don’t approve very many things.

    I got AHS in case something happens and for something major like a washing machine and a dryer. I’ve been with AHS for about a year and I’ve only called a couple of times. They should be more elaborate on their contracts. The garage door springs broke and AHS didn’t cover springs so I had to pay for the guy to come out, and then I had to pay on top of that to get my springs replaced.

    I had American Home Shield when I had my first home many years ago and I wanted to get it on this house. Now, we've been with them for two years and everything that we've had has gone well. When the contractors came out to replace the washer and the faucet, they missed one, but I had a few that I didn't have scheduled anyway, so I just need to have them come back out and do those. I just have to have time. Also, when our AC was not blowing any cold air at all, I reached out. Since A-US Air Conditioning came before, this was their second visit out for the same issue. I had no problem with any of the technicians, but I was really taken by the rude and curtness of the conversation with the gentleman who called me back.

    As I was revisiting with him what was shared with us, he was just trying to hold my feet to the fire that he was certainly the man of knowledge and I didn't understand why all of that was necessary. He said that I kept talking over him and I explained that I was talking over him because what he was saying didn't make sense and I was confused why he was having this hard, fast rule about what transpired when he wasn't here. All I was saying to him was what was shared with me and it was not plausible that he could tell me anything that occurred.

    I said, "Let's just agree to disagree and then why don't we just disconnect the call" and he was doing it again, so I told him to have a nice day and hung up the phone then I sent a message to the guy who initially came and left us his contact information. I told him I'm not sure what's going on or why this guy called with such rudeness. I was flabbergasted that we had to have a negative conversation about an air conditioner. He had something to do on the company's side, but he told me not to worry and said the company will assign someone, so we didn't worry about it.

    The gentleman is going to see if the part can be found and if it will fix the unit, versus doing the upgrade, which will require a litany of things, and our out-of-pocket will be $1,800. Since I work in insurance and I understand how these things work, I reached out to American Home Shield and asked how paying for the repairs would work as it relates to our warranty or would we be on any violation. We were told we would have to show proof that we paid a licensed person to do the repair work and then all would be well. All in all, American Home Shield is good to have. There are some little nuances, but in the grand scheme of things, it's been a great experience.

    My AC wasn’t cooling so Flowertown Heating & Air was assigned by Home Shield to come out. However, they could not come out in the time that we needed them to and they were delayed. I had two sick animals—my cat that was about to die and our dog that has heartworms and can barely breathe—and it was hot in the house. Our cat had been to the hospital and on the IVs twice right before that, so it was a critical time for our AC to go out. So, Home Shield told us we could go and purchase an AC unit for that area that they were staying in and that they would refund us up to $125 for it. We then got one of those portable units that was able to keep them comfortable and keep our dog breathing the way that he should until the company could come and get our AC cooling again. Then, I received a refund from Home Shield for that.

    The technicians from Flowertown eventually came out and they were great. We found out that the AC was low on Freon, so they gave us the Freon that we needed. And it was low a little bit more, so I had to pay more. All in all, American Home Shield is always really good at getting someone over to take care of whatever problems we have.

The dishwasher is pretty good since then. It’s not like the way I want it to be, but it’s working. I have no problem with it. I had to go back again and tried to stop the leak.

    Generally, the contractors that American Home Shield has sent out were professional and prompt. They called on their way, so that was really helpful. When the electricity in the bathroom and the light over our bed were both not working, they sent out Eagle Electric and they fixed them. However, we're still having issue with the refrigerator and that has been going on for two months now. It's a very old refrigerator and it keeps freezing inside both the refrigerator and the freezer. It's leaking and freezing, which is weird. And we've had four different contractors who tried to figure it out. American Home Shield's process is good and submitting claims to them either through phone or online works for us. However, if we have questions, we prefer doing it through phone and the process has been straightforward. I've already recommended American Home Shield to people.

    We had a service call for our central air. It started out with AHS sending out BPM. A gentleman from there came out. He checked the outside unit and he said the motor went bad. That was what needed to be replaced. He was supposed to come back the next day but he ended up not coming back until Monday or Tuesday the following week. He replaced the motor out there. The thing is he didn’t even bother checking anything when he was first here like the inside unit upstairs in the attic. He did just the one with the motor. We also didn’t see him use anything to test the unit to confirm whatever was wrong.

    Even after replacing the motor of the outside unit, it still wouldn’t work so he then went upstairs into the attic and checked the unit up there. He came back down and he showed my husband a picture of a motor. The squirrel cage on the motor was completely black and coated with mold. I don’t know where he got that picture from because my husband went up and looked at it but he didn’t see any mold the way that the picture showed. The tech said he would have to get in touch with AHS because he didn’t know if it was covered or not so he could replace that.

    It took us calling back into American Home Shield to find out what was going on. We went for two weeks without the central air. The hardest part of Texas is in the summer. It was pretty ridiculous. When AHS said the unit was not covered because of the mold, I got that. That was part of the contract. But we didn't like BPM at all and their tech's diagnosis so we wanted a second opinion. AHS sent out All Pro. Their tech went up and looked at the unit. He said our motor just went bad and he replaced it. It took a while for them to get the new motor in but everything has worked great since. From the time the problem happened to the time it was actually fixed, it took two weeks. And I don’t blame AHS for that. I blame BPM and the rip-off tech though.

    We purchased our home in February and American Home Shield was recommended. Everything was great with them although we had to call back in to find out what the status was. There was also the fact that we were gonna have to pay for the second motor upstairs. To me, that communication should’ve been forthcoming from AHS. We should not have had to call in and find out.

    Outside unit evacuated all freon. Had to take all day off work to accommodate repair. Finally arrived after 8pm. Tech stated that he could solder repair and put all new freon at approximately $500 out of pocket, as AHS only covers $10 per pound of freon and we needed 9 pounds, Tech stated that unit needed replacing as it was only a question of when, not if, this would happen again.

    After many calls with a call center who had no understanding of the issue and kept repeating a script that did not apply to our situation, was told that they would not replace unit and if it failed again would not guarantee that it would be replaced, but rather would keep charging us to refill with freon, as it is a cheaper repair for AHS, but not the homeowner. Got independent evaluations from FOUR companies and all said the unit was not advisable to repair. Paid $800 for a home warranty that is basically useless. Very disappointed.

    I’ve always been very pleased with American Home Shield's service. Usually, I get an appointment within 24 hours, so it was a little bit of a surprise that their contractor, Whirlpool, took about three days before they let me know when they were coming. Other than that, they did what they were supposed to do. The repairman came and looked at it, then he came back with the parts. He was here for about 30 minutes, and he was gone, and it was working like a charm. He was nice, but I just have a problem with people who don’t put things back. He left the lid down on the washing machine, which I never do. I always put it up, so it’ll dry. He also left with the light on in the laundry room. And then, I have a bar stool in there because I’m 83 and a little bit shaky sometimes, and he left it out in the kitchen.

    I can move those things, so it wasn’t a big deal, but it’s just little stuff that irritates me because I’m pretty much of a perfectionist. I’m not criticizing him necessarily, but that’s one of the things that I think they ought to do. Still, I am delighted that I have the warranty. I’m now a widow and my husband was my repairman, so there’s not much an 83-year-old woman with arthritis can do for herself.

    I had a leak in the condenser pan of my AC. Due to the heat, the pipe had broken off and it leaked into our ceiling. Usually, AHS, fights back on everything. They always tell me nothing's covered or my place is not up to code. So, I end up paying out of pocket more than I care to. I submitted a claim for the AC issue I was having and this time, I was 100% satisfied.

    Last year though, my coil went out and I had it replaced. I paid nearly $1000 for the Freon, and that coil broke this year. It’s under warranty, but they want me to pay for the Freon again, which is another $1000 out of my pocket. I would think that something that’s being replaced under a warranty should also cover the Freon as well. People who have older homes will be hit with a lot of upcharges because their houses would not be up to current code standards. They would have to pay the fees and those are not covered by American Home Shield.

So I called AHS and the rep let me know that it was covered.

    Their contractor was very professional. He was a really nice guy. The only thing that was not good was he didn’t know our building that well, because he is a new plumber that has never worked in our building. I didn’t know where to turn the valve off so we tried to figure it out together. It was unfortunate that he did not know our building so it was a little harder on him. And that was why I was asking the representative at Home Shield if we could pick up our own vendor. I guess not. But overall the experience with that plumber was really, really great.

    We weren’t satisfied when Appliance Superheroes went out. The contractor finished part of the job with our dishwasher but didn’t complete it. He told me he was gonna order parts and he never got back with me. Two weeks went by and we called AHS for it to be resolved. The contractor didn’t answer my calls and he didn’t answer AHS's calls either. So, AHS had to finally turn it over to contractor relations, and then he called AHS and said, “Well, it wasn’t my fault. It’s the customer’s fault. He has bad cabinets.” AHS didn’t know whether to believe me or the contractor because he was saying a different story than what he told me, that he was gonna order parts. So, AHS got a second person in for what they call a second opinion. Valley Pro Appliance came in and fixed the problem right away.

    What happened was the door on the dishwasher has pulleys on it on the underneath, so those had to be replaced and the first contractor did that. He fixed that part on the door. But to do that, he had to pull it out from the cabinet. So, when he put it back in, he didn’t level it correctly, so the door wouldn’t close. And that was what the problem was. So, Valley Pro Appliance came in, he said he practically diagnosed it over the phone. And then he came out and leveled it up, and it has worked perfectly ever since. I don’t like being misled and AHS is in the dark too. So, the first contractor is not being fair to AHS and to me, the customer. So, I would put a red flag there. The second guy that came out even said that he’s had to go behind the first contractor before and clean a problem.

    So far, I’m satisfied with the result and that they allowed a second opinion, which saved me. But I don’t think a simple repair that ended up taking almost three weeks is reasonable. As a customer, I'm frustrated because I’m just seeing the dishwasher sitting here week after week. American Home Shield could improve on their communication because they were totally relying on me to contact them when I was told to wait for the part.

    I was told that American Home Shield was the best when we closed on the home. We closed it on the 16th and we’ve had two plumbing issues since. We called on the phone and AHS took care of it. I paid the $75 and they sent somebody out. I’ve used their contractor, Sunrise Plumbing, twice. The last guy that came out was really nice. He couldn’t figure out the issue and they sent out another co-worker and they were able to get it done in a very quick amount of time. They were professional, clean-cut and very polite. It was the best experience.

    I put in a claim with American Home Shield to repair a dishwashing machine. I filed it online and it was very easy. The website told me when the contractor would contact me. The Sears contractor who came was fantastic and took the time to go through the whole machine. He had to replace the heater, some wiring, and a motor. The experience was easy and simple. And the problem was resolved.

    We had American Home Shield previously but currently, we have two homes under them. I usually do the claims on the phone and for the most part, that works fairly good. They would call and sometimes, I would get one of the schedulers who wouldn’t give me the number of the contractor. So, when Family called us, it was good. Previously, when I called and had a problem with an AC and they assigned it to somebody else, they didn’t call me. So, I never knew when they were coming or what their schedule was or how long it was gonna be. So, it was kinda a little bit hit-and-miss on the people answering the phone with regards to how responsive they are.

    We had an AC problem and when I put in a claim to American Home Shield, it was on a Saturday and the contractor called us within a couple hours. They said they would see us on Monday and try to come earlier. Then, they texted us on Monday and said they were gonna be here in 45 minutes. The technician came and he was very professional. He figured out the problem and fixed it. It was great.

    I had American Home Shield before about a year ago and had terminated it thinking I wouldn’t need it. Then as soon as I decided that, something broke so I wound up reinstating it. My washing machine had stopped spinning recently so I wasn’t able to use it. Greenway came out, ordered parts and repaired it. They were very professional and on time. They fixed the machine and did everything they said they would do.

    I've been with American Home Shield since 2015 and I like that when I have an issue, it doesn't take long at all. Their contractors come right out and resolve it. I call in for my claims and they usually send a tech out within three days. It's always good customer service.

    I had another company previously but I had a lot of issues with having to follow up multiple times and long wait times for calls. I cancelled and did some research, and I saw some really good reviews about American Home Shield. DMV Pro Tech was the first contractor that came out and they fixed the dryer. The tech was able to assess the issue and was able to fix it the first day he came out, so there was no need for additional follow-up. I was very pleased.

    The service from American Home Shield is generally really prompt and it saves us a lot of money. Paying a monthly premium is cheaper than replacing a $3,000 furnace. I've been with them for about 30 years and we’ve had two furnace replacements ‘cause we own two properties, a water heater replacement, and fairly regular routine appliance services, and we’ve always been satisfied. When I submit claims over the phone, I’m certain that the claim has been accepted and handled. Sometimes, online requests don’t get handled properly. But you get faster, more prompt and better responses when you actually talk to a real person. A couple of weeks ago, I had Optimum Appliance come out and they were very good. They showed up when they said they would, and the guy promptly was done with both appliances in under an hour.

    When I bought the house, I bought the plan, the coverage, and then it's just 75 bucks when they come. Every exchange with Home Shield has been amazing. Their online interface is very intuitive and easy to use. And I always get a callback or an email really soon after maybe 24 to 48 hours. It's always very fast. I've been really happy with the contractors. It's been three of them because the drywall repair involved somebody else coming back. It turned into two things, but everybody has been very professional, efficient and friendly. I've been really happy. It's such a chunk of change to buy insurance like that when you don't know if you'll ever use it, and I've been so grateful that we did.

    I've been with American Home Shield for eight years now and I kept them because of the ease and cost of their service. Whenever I have claims, I find their online process to work a little faster than over the phone. Also, I don’t have to wait online where I have to wait for a customer service agent when I’m calling in. Recently, I submitted a claim and they sent out J & K HVAC. They are the only ones I would request and they’ve given me great service over the five different times I’ve had to call. I’ve tried other ones and they do not match the quality of J & K's service.

    Other than that, AHS should be more responsive to specific use of individual companies that have come well-rated. They should also be more leery of those companies with whom they contract just to provide the service without investigating the company and their quality of service. That’s because a company that they sent out before came out, looked at the AC, and said that it was not an American Home Shield issue. But I also happen to be an engineer and used to do HVAC when I was in the military as well. So, I understand what the rules are and the legalities of it. So, when I read through the contract, plus I know the equipment and the conditions, it was evident to me that it was and AHS issue. But they sent out a young tech who didn't know his proverbial donkey from the proverbial hole in the ground.

    But then, J & K came out, told me what it was, what they had to do, and that they could have it done in this amount of time. That’s the kind of person you would want to have working on your vehicle or working on your home or handling your case in court. Somebody who knows what they’re doing and has the confidence and the knowledge to do so. That’s what Home Shield’s missing. I do not feel they do sufficient investigation into their companies with whom they contract. They just simply contract.

    I submitted a claim online to AHS because I was having some electrical issues with my dishwasher outlets, and it wasn't working. The process was very easy. However, when I had a problem earlier when I bought my house, they weren't able to fix the problem. I had some issue with ductwork in my dryers and that wasn't covered. So that was irritating. But for this particular issue, JK Plumbing and Heating was able to come in and get that all fixed up. They were also professional and friendly, and everything went very smoothly.

    My initial experience started out to be a very bad experience with American Home Shield. I was out of AC for 14 days before they could get it resolved. And in that, we're talking about summer heat of 105 degrees every day in the month of August. And every time I called, the generic answer I got was it was their procedure, it was their policy, and they couldn’t do anything. Unfortunately, I live in a city that gets very hot and it’s hot up until now even if we’re in the month of October. So, right off the bat, the very first experience was one of my worst experience ever dealing with any home warranty company.

    But recently, when my garage door was not working, I called American Home Shield's 1-800 number and opened a claim. Then, I was contacted by the contractor, Valor Garage Doors and a tech came out. He was excellent, prompt, and very thorough. He reset the whole system, gave new garage door openers and synced them. The garage door has been working okay since then, but because the unit’s getting older, it may collapse on me here in the near future.

    The pipes right behind the hot water heater had busted. It had a leak. The contractor sent by AHS was very informative. He was able to easily find the location of the leak, quickly shut off the water, get it done, and move on. After he had left, the pipe right above it broke and I had to call back. They were able to dispatch a new plumber about three hours later and they didn’t have a problem with it. So far, I have no leaks and everything is good. I love American Home Shield and I know I’m going to renew May of next year. I would be proud to recommend them and I already did.

    I've had AHS coverage for three years now. Generally, my tenants would inform my property manager or me of any issue and then I'd submit the claim to AHS. Usually it’s easy to get stuff done but their claims process was a little unusual this last time when my tenant said that the water wouldn’t drain out from the washer. It was a little bizarre because the contractor that AHS sent out, Shenandoah Appliance Plumbing and Electric, had called me and told me it needed to be replaced. I called to find out from AHS what was going on and they said they were gonna repair it, which was fine with me if they felt it could be repaired. Then I asked them when was that gonna take place because we weren’t aware that was going on and they said the part has been ordered.

    I asked AHS what part was it and the rep said she has to check and she'd call me back. They checked with Shenandoah and when I called back, they said, “No, it’s being replaced.” It was just a little bizarre how things were handled this time because that didn’t make any sense to me. In the long run, it did get replaced, and my tenants just informed me it was just installed, Friday. AHS should get their facts straight before they get back to the policy holder. I want to take out another policy for a home that I live in here in Colorado Springs that I wanna put my stuff under, but I’m not going to do it just yet. I gotta take a look at my finances and then I’ll give them a call. For the most part, I’m happy with the service that I get from AHS, and hopefully I don’t have to use it that much. That was why I want to pick out something for my house here as well.
