    I had American Home Shield almost all my life. I moved back to New Orleans in 2018 and my son did my house for me and put the home warranty coverage on with Choice. However, everything I called them for if I had a problem, they were telling me it wasn't covered. I didn't like Choice and decided to go with American Home Shield. It's first time I had to use American Home Shield. I could have filled the claim out online but what happened was I had two issues going on with my stove and they're only allowed for one issue. It didn't give me what I needed online to tell them about everything that was going on with the stove that's why I called. The next day, someone called me from Sears to schedule the appointment. Everything was pretty much in order.

    I had a little longer wait for the parts to come in because of COVID but other than that, the service was on time, professional and courteous, and I haven't had any problems since. I wouldn’t recommend anybody but American Home Shield. Since I had it last, I'm paying more now but prices go up. I'm also paying much more than what I was paying Choice but I feel more comfortable with American Home Shield.

    My claim with American Home Shield went well. I called them one morning and they got a hold of me an hour or two later. I was very satisfied with that timeframe. Their contractor Authorized Appliance fixed my appliances and fixed them. Their tech walked me through what he did and showed me that each appliance works. He had a mask and gloves on to safeguard against the pandemic.

    My air conditioning stopped cooling. Submitting a claim for it with AHS was simple. I did it on the computer and they gave me a general number to call, which I did. Then their answering machine had given us a number. “If you want to reach somebody, call this number,” which I did. The rep directed me to somebody who works in the county. He was working in a different county, so he gave me the phone number. I was able to call the contractor. He got me in two days later. The contractor seemed polite and professional. He was clean too. There was not a whole lot he had to do, because once he was able to open up the air conditioning, he was immediately able to say that there was a burnt wire. I've referred some of my family to AHS before.

    Two of the sinks were not draining well so that's what I claimed. I did it online and I thought the AHS website was pretty easy to use, but I couldn't submit. I couldn't find everything I needed that easily. There should be an easier way to search for issues that I can submit for in there. But then I figured it out and selected something similar. The contractor called me beforehand and also texted me. They came in, they evaluated it, and fixed it. Now my sink isn't clogged anymore so it works.

    Appliance 911 came out for the oven. It was a code coming in that showed that it wasn’t working and it said that they needed to replace something. The circuit board was damaged. I called American Home Shield and made a service call. Then, they gave me the name of the appliance repair. The technician called me and he came out and looked at it, and they had to order the part. I kept calling and they said the part was in backorder. Then finally, the part came in. The technician came and install it. He did a good job but it was very slow getting the parts. It took over 40 days to get it repaired. Still, the technician was very knowledgeable and supportive of my concern. The repair significantly helped us in our home and it was a very good experience with AHS. I’ve been with them for half a year but I had them before.

    The air conditioning unit was making a lot of noise. So we had someone to come out and make sure everything was okay. It was pretty easy and really fast to submit a claim. I received a response and then the air conditioning company called me that same day. The contractors were very professional. The woman who contacted me, scheduled my time and let me know that they were coming out. The technician came out and he wore his mask, gloves, and booties. He knew everything that was going on. He was familiar with the system and he told us what was going on with it. He checked outside and it was fine. I had a very pleasant experience.

    Once I called, AHS contacted the tech and he called me back shortly thereafter. We set up a time that was convenient. Then he came and did a great job. There was a really weird problem with my door and it took about an hour to repair. But he took care of the issue and replaced the whole lock system for me. It's working very well. But it was a little annoying getting the service scheduled at first. AHS gave the tech my wrong number. But once I was in contact with him, it was great service. He was very polite and cordial.

    Majestic Custom came out to check the air conditioner. It wasn't really cooling the house down. It would take eight hours for it to cool the house from 80 degrees down to 72, and it was set at 68. We called the number on the policy and I spoke to someone at American Home Shield. They were pretty prompt at getting someone scheduled out here. It was timely. Majestic Custom was fine. The tech was very good at communicating what the procedures he went through, and it looked very thorough. The only thing is I continue to be concerned that the air conditioner doesn't cool well enough because they didn't find anything wrong with it. We won't know until next summer whether there's an issue.

    The air conditioning unit was not blowing. I called the 1-800 number for American Home Shield and did a claim. Central Heating & Air Conditioning came out. The tech was great, very professional and knew his job. He knew exactly what to do. He was not here more than 25 minutes, and he got it up and running. The air conditioning is working fine but the heat, all of a sudden, stopped working now. I was thinking about calling AHS back because it seemed like the heat is still not blowing the way it's supposed to. Yesterday was the first time I put the heat on since the tech came out and fixed the unit. I didn't have to put it on because it was hot. Yesterday was the first cold day and I tried to put the heat on and it's like barely blowing.

    The very first time I submitted a claim, the contractor came within only three or four days. They were pretty quick. American Home Shield sent an independent contractor first, and when he got here, he discovered that Sears had a warranty on the refrigerator. So, he suggested that maybe AHS would transfer it to Sears. I got on their website and resubmitted it and mentioned the warranty. Nothing happened for several days and, of course, we were without a refrigerator. We have an extra one, but we had crammed everything in there. We were eager to get something done. When I filed that extra claim, AHS sent it to Sears. He came out just like the other contractor and said, “Yeah, it’s under warranty, but I don't have the parts to fix it. So we'll have to reschedule.” It just took a while. There was a little miscommunication. But it ended up just fine.

    I get email updates from American Home Shield. When I had a claim, I clicked on the link to login to my portal and then I submitted it through there. It was a super easy process. Once it was received, then I got an update that it was being assigned to Morningstar and that they would be reaching out. Morningstar was fantastic. They were very quick and worked with me on calling or texting me when the tech was gonna be on his way. He gave me the timeframe. That way, I could just leave my office and meet him at the house.

    Since the repair, our dishes are really clean now. It helps when the dishwasher can heat up and do what it needs to do. The tech really spent the time to look through it, what the problem was, kinda let me know after the fact and what he replaced. The only thing is my husband noticed that there was an oil spot in our driveway. It would be recommended that the contractors not park in a customer's driveway for that reason.

    Everything's been going great with American Home Shield. I've had two claims with them in the last couple months. One was with the garbage disposal because my son put a rock in there apparently. That was why it wasn't working. The plumber who came for it was really great. Morningstar was very great, too, and they took care of the problem. So far, my experience in the last couple months has been really great. Sometimes, home warranty companies get kind of a stigma, and I've shared before that I'm very happy with American Home Shield.

    We had AC two units and both of them were acting up. When I filed a claim via the computer, I couldn't say that there were two units. I had to say that there were an AC unit and an EVAC for the second one which wasn't what we had. So the website was not user-friendly. But Total Air Care was absolutely fabulous when they came out. We had a condenser went out completely, so they replaced that. Then we had to pay for the Freon, which was $550. But they didn't fix the second unit. It was already acting up slightly and was making noise when they first came.

    On the second day, the second unit went out because it couldn't do the whole house. So I called American Home Shield. I tried to explain to the girl that the second unit was out and asked her to add that on to our claim. But she said that the claim was only for the one. I insisted that I actually put two and nobody serviced the second one. So she went back and saw that I chose the EVAC on the original computer thing, and then she called the Total Air. She asked whoever she spoke with in regards to the second unit. 'Cause the second unit can't compensate for the whole first unit and second unit, thus, probably it was overwhelmed was what we were told. Then she said that they would fix the second unit when the technician would come out which he did. The AC units are fine now. The technician was 110% amazing and he was just so polite.

    The service from American Home Shield is fabulous. We were with them for two years and they were really good. We really enjoyed them. The contractors that they sent out were amazing. But the only reason that we are no longer with American Home Shield is that their rates have gone up. We couldn't use them anymore and I was really frustrated.

    I have American Home Shield on my appliances. Everything is covered from my air conditioner and my hot water heater. But the wait time to get ahold of them by phone is about an hour. They need to have a little better service as far as answering the phone. But outside of that, I'm very happy with them. The serviceman was very nice and respectful. He knew that I was ill and he made sure that he was at a distance from me. He had a mask on. He came in, did his job and left.

    American Home Shield had done exactly what I hired them to do. It costs me $100 co-pay every time I ask them to fix something. And when your washing machine is shot, that's a lot better than 500. Also, I didn't think they were ever gonna get my refrigerator fixed. They worked on it three different times. There were three different units that they put in the back end of it and it didn't work when they were here. Then the tech went and ordered more parts and all of a sudden, it started working. It's still putting out ice so I'm happy. I called my brother in Texas and he signed up with you guys. Everybody that I've recommended them to seems to be very happy with them.

    I called in because I had a problem with my garage door. But when the guy came, he said that he wanted to put a new one, the rail, the this and that. I said okay and asked if he knew my insurance. He told me that my insurance doesn't pay anything because what I have is a very low one. Since I have it, I only used it one time. I remember they noted the last time when I called for the same thing, the guy probably knew some wires, and tie it, put a tape, and that’s it. Now, the guy that came in knew that the one who came before did a back job because they were supposed to do things and I didn't know.

    To me, I didn't like that company after that. They said I have to do it because I already called them and I paid $100. Then they gave me an invoice. They said they did this one and this one and then the next day they didn't. Two days later, the company called me and said they would collect the money. I asked, “For what?” The guy came back and was supposed to give me an estimate, not invoice. For the moment, I didn’t know what he had done. I told him I’m not gonna pay him until he finishes the job. The guy didn't do anything.

    They offered me to do everything. Then they said they would call me back. Then they called me back with another person. They called me from San Francisco. They called me from Sacramento. They called me from somewhere when they wanted to collect the money. Then when they finished the job, they called me from San Jose. Then something happened and I asked who do I need to call.

    I'm having some sink issues with my kitchen sink and it still hasn't been resolved. My complaint's with the home warranty service themselves. They sent out K & S and the guy did what he could. He told them that the sink needed to be hydro jetted. For about a week after that, American Home Shield said that they couldn't find anybody that does that in our area. I asked if I could find somebody myself and have that company do it then they would just reimburse me and they said no. I have a newborn and he made two weeks yesterday. I kinda need my kitchen sink.

    When they found somebody, first off, the people that they picked have horrible reviews and they just sent some run-of-the-mill guy. They didn't send the company. They didn't give me any of his insurance information or his LLC number or anything like that which I didn't like. This is a house I forked out almost $200,000 for and I don't just anybody working on my stuff. He came, he hydro jetted it and did what he could, but still he didn't fix the problem. Now, I've reached out to a plumber myself that has good reviews and gave me his insurance number and his LLC number and we're gonna go about it that way.

    The claims process was simple. It was just the fact of getting somebody else sent out to resolve the problem and argue with Home Shield and 98% of operators that I got on the phone with had attitudes with me. Maybe I were able to choose a vendor from a drop-down menu or request that certain people don't service our home, it's something that would benefit Home Shield 'cause I know most homeowners don't want some Joe Schmoe showing up to their house to do their work.

    I've had to submit two claims with Home Shield. One time, it took me 45 minutes sitting on the phone waiting to get them. It took a while. On my first claim, I had a hot water heater go out. I had to pay what wasn't covered on the water heater. There was a $75 service charge, and then a $400 fee. After everything has already been said and done, I got a letter in the mail saying that they would not pay some of that. I called them. I didn't fully understand. They really shouldn't have sent the letter because it has already been taken care of. But it was a bit more confusing. They could have made that part a bit easier by telling their part would not be paid or whatever, instead of just sending a letter saying they would not pay this. That was irritating.

    Recently, Epic Air Heating and Cooling was able to repair the unit but they were supposed to come back out. I had a piece of flex pipe that had fallen and I didn't know it. They were supposed to come back and replace it but I haven't heard anything else from them. Other than that, the techs who have come out have been professional and on time.

I have sent a reminder yesterday to find out where they are standing. I got a reply saying that they are still waiting on the parts.

    I had a fridge repaired and GE Appliances was sent out. The support team in Atlanta was on top of everything every time I called. Vic did really well. I had to make several calls to see when these parts were coming in because they delivered the parts to me and not to the repairman, which was kind of weird. Other than that, it was really good and the claim is done.

    The door and icemaker were broken and it was basically one problem. I took the top off and tried to get ice and water out of the dispenser and nothing would come out. The icemaker was barely making any ice. To be safe, American Home Shield ordered a new icemaker, but the main problem was that the line feeding the icemaker and water dispenser that goes through the freezer door was frozen and filled with garbage because there was discoloration coming out sometimes. The tech popped that door off and put a new icemaker in. It was done two weeks ago.

    I have an air conditioning claim that was such a problem and American Home Shield should have been worried about it because there were major issues. I am not happy about that. That is an absolute nightmare and I was very disappointed. I have my cool now but I didn’t when I talked to whoever the poor guy was a few weeks ago. I feel horrible about it because I know it wasn't his fault that my air conditioning unit was broken. What happened was I came back from vacation several weeks ago, Labor Day, and my AC was not working. It had tripped the breaker. A contractor came three days later and that was on a weekend. They fixed the AC by putting in something.

    That only worked for a couple of days before it tripped the breaker and turned the thing off again. The contractor came back and did a reset. All that meant was they turned the breaker all the way off then back on and turned the AC unit outside off then back on. It came back on. But that was just putting a Band-Aid on it and not fixing it. I was told that was all the contractor could do. The AC went out again a few days later after that. The contractor had to come back and they said that the motor was possibly the problem because it might have been draining too much power than it could handle.

    They started replacing the motor. On two different occasions after that, they broke something there while trying to fix on the motor. They had brackets that they had to order at one time but because they bent the fan blade on the old ones, they needed to order new fan blades. There was a total of five to six trips to have the contractor out here to fix the unit. My AC is fixed but that's about a month later now. It has been running for two weeks but it's no longer 100 degrees here anymore, which was what it was when the contractor was trying to fix it.

    I know things happen when you're trying to fix something like that and I understand that. But the problem I had with it was it seemed like it was not a big deal for me to just not have AC in Birmingham, Alabama with 100-degree heat outside for two weeks. I got very angry because that should be fixed. I get that American Home Shield doesn't wanna have to replace the system if they don't have to as it's a business. But at that point, the unit should have just been replaced. It wasn't the inside unit, which is probably more expensive. Replacing the outside unit would have been a fix-all quick.

    And like with the fridge, spit and glue will fix it and that's fine. It was not that big of a deal. I can find another one for 900 bucks and put it in. But the reason why people get home warranties is because those things, like the AC, are really expensive. If it breaks in that first year, you kinda won the lottery. But as soon as I get it, it seemed like American Home Shield didn't wanna do it. I had to suffer for two and a half weeks not having air conditioning and I was very angry. I yelled at the guy who was taking my call because of that.

    I'm 42 and I'm decently successful. But living with your parents for a few weeks made me in and out when the AC wasn't working. To American Home Shield I was even like, "Why don't you guys put me in a hotel or something? Because this is absolutely ridiculous." I know that request sounded ridiculous but to someone who lives closer to the equator and Birmingham, Alabama, it's not. The day before I came back from my Nashville beach trip, it was just blazing hot in here.

    I recently had a claim with Home Shield for a pool part. Their claims process is pretty good. But the first time I used it, I had a bad experience, aside from the fact that I had my pool equipment added and I had a pool light that went out. One time, the spa level kept dropping while the pump was off ever so slightly, but over a bunch of hours, it could be a couple of inches. The tech came out and replaced the valves. The next day, I told him it was still doing it. The tech said that it must be something else and that they were only responsible for above-ground. It was disheartening and I was like, “Wow. So I’m stuck?" He said, “Yeah, pretty much.” But luckily, it was a fluke because it works fine now but the tech could have had a little better bedside manner.

    As for the pool light, someone came all the way and said that they don’t do them. It ended up costing me 400 bucks because he replaced the light. I should have just done it myself. When I called back, I was told that it’s in the contract. And I was like, “Yeah, that thing that nobody reads.” This time was much better though. I tried to make sure I was very specific because I figured that it didn’t say pool light but it said electrical. They want us to do everything over the website and not actually talk to somebody. That would have saved me big had I just had somebody tell that they don’t cover pool lights. But overall, I’m satisfied with Home Shield since I got my issue fixed.

    Our garbage disposal was leaking and it was not working properly. I did the claim online. I chose what the problem was then I paid the $75 fee. Home Shield came back in the online response and told me that Master Tech Service was the company coming and to check it out. David was our tech and was a professional and a really experienced man. He checked out the garbage disposal. He very easily found the problem and solved it. He changed the garbage disposal and also changed the P-trap and some plumbing parts. He knew his job very well and he was very good at it. I’m quite satisfied. The second thing he did work on was in the second bathroom as there was a leak in the sink. Master Tech was very nice and I’m quite happy with them. They did a much better job than the other company that came before for the air conditioning. When I had the air conditioner problem, nobody called me on for feedback.

    We bought this house in April and we had a friend of ours come out and check out the heat and air unit because I completely forgot that we paid for the American Home Shield warranty. They told us that we needed an entire new heating unit. So, we processed the claim to have that checked out. The guys that AHS sent out took everything apart and checked it and there was nothing wrong with it. So, it ended very well. The technician was wonderful. We happened to all be home because we just had a baby so, we walked outside to talk to him. He had on his mask and he was extremely respectful and polite. He offered to take his shoes off when he came inside. It was awesome.

    We were checking on the heat part of the unit. We're in Georgia and it hasn't gotten cold enough yet to turn the heat all the way on so we haven't gotten to completely check it. But the day that he came out, he let it run for 30 minutes. It was in the 80s. So, he said that if anything was going to happen, it would have happened within that time because the heat unit's gonna overheat easily. So, it is doing good. It was a great interaction with American Home Shield but on the website, we had the opportunity to choose to have the ductwork looked at as well. Once the contractor got out, we found out that it was not something that they cover. We were under the impression that we were gonna be able to get that fixed as well within the warranty but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Other than that, there was nothing else that I could even complain about. It was a great experience.

    Our recent claim with AHS was for the air conditioner that wouldn't work. This claim went through really well and I was very happy with the contractors. I went out and investigated my outside unit and got the serial number. I do everything for my own knowledge, also. It's a Carrier outdoor. So I called Carrier here in Tyler. Everything went fine. I talked to Carrier and they knew the contractors. They said they're very nice people, I will be happy.

    When the contractor got here, he called me 30 minutes ahead of time, said, "I'm gonna be there early today. Can I come?" I said yes. He got here, introduced himself and said, "Show me where the air conditioner thing is and what happened." He went right to work and got it running. He went outside and inspected the outside. He said everything was good to go. He was professional and right on hand. I was very happy with this company. I was happy this time with AHS's response. The last time on the microwave, that was one big fiasco I hope I never have with American Home Shield. I have had American Home Shield for over 21 years here. I moved here from Galveston County.

It was a simple fix and he was done in a matter of minutes. The pool is working great. We had an issue with American Home Shield a couple of years ago about our air conditioning unit. But this particular repair went beautifully. We do not call on every little thing and We put in as few service calls as possible when it needs help. It was a little upsetting when the service fee went up, considering what we were paying. My yearly fee went up as well. But it's nice to know that if we've got an issue, like the pool that really can't sit there and not be functioning properly, we can get somebody out there in a decent amount of time with relatively little cost.

    We had a leak out from one of our faucets. The tech from SWAT Plumbing was sent out. He said that there was a missing piece to it and so he wasn't able to fix it. He was super nice, told me exactly what I needed to do, and went from there to get it addressed. I had to buy the piece. I avoid going into the store at the moment so I haven’t bought that one yet. I've had other claims and those have been good.

    American Home Shield picked a vendor that came out and fairly quickly diagnosed and solved the problem with the condenser replacement that he had with him. It was a very efficient and expedited repair. We signed up with American Home Shield again but it's been difficult sometimes to get a full resolution of a problem. We had a refrigerator go out right around March or April at the beginning of the pandemic. They sent different vendors out that did various things but nobody diagnosed the correct problem. We went without a refrigerator in that unit for about three or four months. That was at the same time our kitchen was being remodeled and we were cooking in the little house so it was very inconvenient.

    It took them about four months plus to get a resolution. The final resolution is it's part of the sealed system and the manufacturer's warranty covers it. But in order to figure that out, I had to get Sears to come out myself and pay the guy 100 bucks to try to figure out what was wrong with it because nobody seemed to be able to figure it out. It was a very protracted affair with multiple things being done to the unit that weren't required to be replaced and nothing worked. American Home Shield has good vendors and they do good work except for that refrigerator.

    Just before the renewal was due, we started having difficulties with the air conditioner on the little house and we have two air conditioners on this house that are about 16 years old. We figured we'd roll the dice and pay for the insurance. We've replaced every other appliance pretty much so there's really not much more for them to cover because we have a brand-new kitchen. There's the dishwasher and still this refrigerator in the little house and the air conditioning units. Some of these air conditioning units go with a very big price tag so we figured we’d keep American Home Shield for the next couple of years just for them. They worked both the other air conditioning units and put new circuit boards in when needed ‘cause they started failing. We got our money's worth. Hopefully, we won't need them this next year so I wouldn’t have to wait on hold to try to get in touch with them. It's so hard to get in touch with them and it takes forever on the phone to get a person.

    My refrigerator was leaking and the drain was stopped up. I submitted a claim over the phone with AHS and it was an automated thing. I really prefer to talk to someone, but it was not a problem. I just went through the prompts and answered whatever. It was easy. Then, the tech who came out was very efficient. He came in with a mask on and he went straight to work. I stayed in the kitchen with him for a few minutes and watched him get started. Then I went to my office and he worked. He had water come out and he cleaned all that up. Then he put the refrigerator back together and it's been fine ever since. He was not very talkative, was very quiet, and professional. So far, that was the second thing that AHS has done for me. The first one ended up costing me more because of the age of my air conditioner unit and they don't have that Freon available except at a very high price. But they've been very easy to work with.

    Filing a claim is not difficult by itself but American Home Shield gets to choose who the vendor is when you get the service. If I choose a vendor that they don't recognize and doesn't deal with them, then I have to pay for it myself. My initial understanding was that if I call the vendor to do a service, American Home Shield would cover it. But that's not the case. I didn't fully understand. The furnace was not taken care of and I got surprised by it. The only thing that American Home Shield has covered is rekeying and they did well on it. The technician was fine.

    What I was told was if I have any problems, I could just have them taken care of and American Home Shield would cover it. It's true if you let them pick the vendor. However, I did a little investigating and what they tend to do from what I could gather is they don't hire necessarily the best people around. They hire the cheapest. They need to make clear when the policy is sold that you don't have a choice on the vendor that comes out. Otherwise, I would have had some real reservation about it.

    My garage door opener wouldn't open. I tried to call it in and American Home Shield said that I needed to do it through the website. So I didn't really get an option. So I did it online and the process was easy. It was only a matter of minutes before I got a call from the garage door company. There was an older gentleman and a younger guy. The older guy took pictures of the garage door opener and the other stuff that was attached to it. The younger gentleman was busy getting materials.

    The biggest problem for me was this happened on a Friday and I had a doctor's appointment on Monday and there was no way for me to tell American Home Shield. When the garage door people called, she said they could come on Monday afternoon between 12:00 and 5:00. I asked her if there was anything earlier and she said no. So I had to cancel that doctor's appointment and reschedule it. But it was not their fault.

    After the technicians took all the pictures, one of them asked me if I was aware that our warranty company doesn't cover the springs and cables. He told me that they consider that part of the door. How could they consider that part of the door? You can have a garage door that you open by yourself and it doesn't have those springs and cables. But I had to get it fixed. I couldn't get the car out of the garage. I also get allergy shots Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday every week. I was missing that, so I needed to be able to go on Tuesday. I asked him how much it was gonna cost. He told me I've already paid American Home Shield the $100, so it would be an additional $250. I don't have disability coverage. All I have is Social Security so that's a lot of money. But I had them do it because I didn't have a choice. It had to get done.

    It only took them a few minutes to do the job. He checked the light bulb and he said they lubricated everything. He took the light bulbs in the opener, and he said they were LED light bulbs and they were not good to use in the garage door opener. Apparently, they interfere with the remote. I have had trouble at times getting that to open and close. I've had to really mess with it sometimes. So that made sense. He asked me if I had any regular bulbs and he replaced those. They were very good. They did what they were supposed to do and more. They were very kind, very professional and very pleasant. But American Home Shield lied to me when they sold me the warranty. They told me that they were not like other warranty companies and that when something broke down, they covered every part of it and not just little parts of it. But that wasn't true.

    We made a claim with the ice maker on the refrigerator a long time ago. The part wasn't available so we had to wait for it. It just came in, so the technician went and installed it. That issue has been resolved. However, he said not to use it because there was something to do with the water supply for the plumbing. He didn't have a license to do it so I have to call someone else for that. We haven't done anything about it yet because we had to leave the house for a little bit for vacation. When we get back, I'll have to call back.

    My biggest complaint with AHS is that when I call, I can't talk to somebody right away. Sometimes, I have to be on hold for 30, 40, 50 minutes before someone comes on to take the call. I know it can be done online too. But when calling about more than one thing, even the automated operator can't distinguish and the customer has to keep hitting the buttons to get to somebody because he tells them and then it kinda goes crazy. It doesn't know what he's talking about. It could be worse for somebody that was working all day and didn't have the time to stay on the phone to wait for an answer. But the contractors they have are pretty good and they all seem to know what they are doing.

    I called AHS to come out and fix my air conditioning. The young man tells me because of the work that I need, they don't cover all of it. It's understandable that certain parts they didn't cover and I know my unit is quite old. So I go ahead and purchase a complete unit for my home with a furnace. Then I get a letter nine days later from AHS telling me they don’t cover it. From the consumer’s point of view, that throws you off a little bit. The service contractors assured me they will service and take care of it and the first year of labor is free. So they comfort me a little bit but I was feeling a little alarmed with American Home Shield. But other than that, I’d recommend them. I've been with AHS for 23 years and I love them.

    The technician's work is great. The only thing is that sometimes the appearance of the companies that they send out can be somewhat concerning. If working for a company, you would think somebody would want their attire to be more professional-looking. Then the people come in and they got a shirt that looks wrinkled, faded. How employees look is also a reflection of that individual company. I had some individuals come that AHS hired. Of course, they did the quality work, but still, their appearance. When dealing with other companies, they come and look more appropriate as far as their work attire. So it makes me wonder if these companies with American Home Shield are 3, 4, or 5-star ones or are these just companies that are with them just to get business.

We got the same one when we bought our first house here and when we bought the house we have now. We are loyal people and we've had good luck with American Home Shield over the years.

    The only problems we had with them was when our furnace and water heater went out. The furnace claim was a big fumble and that really made us mad that we were ready to drop American Home Shield. They said they were going to send out somebody. The guy that came out said he couldn't fix it and left. American Home Shield said they were gonna send another company out but they never called and never showed up. I called them and they said they would get in touch with somebody else but they didn't. For three days, we went without heat. Luckily, my son had an electric heater and we carried it from room to room. Thankfully too, none of our pipes burst. In the end, we had another company that we called to come out and they got the furnace fixed because it was way below zero.

    When our water heater went out, we bought a new one and American Home Shield reimbursed us for it. But we had to get somebody to come out ourselves and put in a new water heater. This was years ago in our home and it worked out great. But when it went out again, I called and nobody ever showed up. My husband just went out and bought a hot water heater. He worked for a plumbing company and he had that plumbing company come in and pick it up.

    We also had a claim where D&D Appliance Repair came out and they were good. They followed through with their timeline. The tech explained everything that he was doing.

I've only been with them for a year or two and they've fixed my stove, my dryer, my washing machine and my AC. I've also gotten a new water heater.

    I'm a little more concerned about the current claim because it's a much more expensive issue. The contractor came to fix my air conditioning. They did tell me what they thought it was. He did fix what he thought he could but he said at the time, “If this doesn't work, let us know and we'll come back out.” They also did tell me that there may be some things that I'll be charged for but to my understanding I'm not supposed to be charged for. Their fix didn't work so they were out again yesterday but it’s not been taken care of yet. It was confusing with this one because I didn't know whether or not to submit again.

    American Home Shield has kinda been ebbing and flowing this go-around and I don't know if it's just because of everything that's going on. I had to call in yesterday. I've been having an issue with another appliance in my home since June. It's now September 29th and it has not been fixed. The first company that came out removed some bolts from the dishwasher. That company was unresponsive. American Home Shield could not get in touch with them. I could not get in touch with them too. Every rep that I talked to would not help. It was only when I asked to speak with someone in the retention department that they were listening in sending out another company. They told me my call should’ve been escalated to another department. They saved me as still being a client with American Home Shield because they worked through it. They set up another company to come out. They also offered me a service fee credit if I had another issue.

    The new company did come out. He noticed that there were some parts that were taken so he was having to order those parts. But we don't even know if those parts are going to be the issue. He said the parts won't be in until mid to late October. That's been my only frustration because I didn't feel like it has to go about that long. I was diligent with calling but I don't know if it was just the wrong tech that I was talking to that couldn't fix the issue. But hopefully, by mid to late October, I'd have a working dishwasher.

    AHS is a good insurance company and I have three units with them. Recently, the AC in one of them wasn't cooling and the temperature inside the house was so hot like the one outside. I called American Home Shield and told them about it. They gave me the number of Anthem Mechanical Palm Springs and put in an order. Then, I called Anthem. While waiting for them to come in, we put a lot of ice in the room and in the fan. When they came out, they fixed the aircon and now it's working. They were good and I had no problem. All in all, the response from AHS has been very timely and until now, I still have my tenants with me. So I'm happy with American Home Shield.

    Submitting claims online to American Home Shield is usually easy to do. Things have gone fine every time I've submitted one. We've had two different issues so far. One was with our plumbing and the other was with our AC. Both times for our AC, we had their contractor Aire Serve and they were good. However, I was not pleased with the plumbing contractor, Action Rooter Sewer & Drain. We had a leak in our basement and it turned out that there was an issue with our water softener. When we put in a request, AHS sent it off right away. But then, I ended up canceling the claim and we took care of things on our own because the contractor acted like they didn't wanna come out and help us. They were not very professional.

    I had a faucet repaired and everything went well till everything was finished, and I received a phone call from them saying I owed $43, which I refused to pay. Whatever program I'm on didn't allow for replacement of a faucet, even though it says if they can't fix it, they'll replace it. So I didn't know there are different programs. The faucet that was removed was a $900 faucet and it was replaced with a subpar faucet that I'm okay with. But I'm not about to pay $43 more for something that I got less than what I had before. Other than that, the tech was wonderful. I'd refer him anytime. Hopefully, if I need AHS again, I'll know ahead of time that I need to qualify some things before it happens.

    We had an issue with our refrigerator and it took a while for a part but that's just how shipping is in the era of COVID. We waited for about five days but once the technician had the part in, he had it fixed in under a half-hour. It's been a good experience thus far with American Home Shield. Prior to having them, I know how long it took to wait for a repair person for various issues and I've never had any delays with the people that American Home Shield sends out that were as long or longer than what I'm used to in the past.

    Every time I’ve contacted American Home Shield, they fixed every single problem. So far, it's been working pretty well. If there's an issue or problem, they come back out and fix it. Just after a hurricane, we noticed a water leakage coming from outside the house. Inside it was the wiring. They listed it as a plumbing issue but it was not. It was kinda weird. They sent an electrician out for it. He was very easygoing. He caulked up the outside and inside of the house. It was largely due to lots of other contractors coming in, Verizon being one of them, to add more internet and such, so it disturbed all the original caulking.

    I couldn't be more pleased with American Home Shield. Recently, the refrigerator unit would not cool. I tried to do the claim over the phone and I was put on hold. After about 40 minutes, I gave up, went online and was able to book in three or four minutes. Their phone service is terrible. I'm sure they're doing a lot of remote working with the COVID thing but if I ever need them again, I'll go directly online and book it. It was very simple.

    The contractor was GE Appliance. There was only a couple of days between when I called and when they were able to come out. They set the appointment time between eight o'clock in the morning and noon. I called them the day before because I wanted to find out how they were treating the COVID issue. They told me that they test all of their employees first thing in the morning and they wear masks when they come out on site. About half an hour to an hour later, I got kind of a robo call from them saying, "This is GE and we're calling about your appointment. With COVID, we want to let you know that when your serviceman arrives, he will have a mask and we'll expect you to also wear a mask and remain at least a six-foot distance." I was very pleased with that.

    About 20 minutes before the guy got here, he called and introduced himself. He told me to describe what was happening. He said that sounded like a fan motor, he's got one in his truck and he'd see me in 20 minutes. I was probably his first appointment and he was here about 8:10. He came in, opened it up, put a test kit on it, said, "Yup, it's the fan motor," and had it fixed. He checked out and it was cooling within probably 20 minutes. It was a great experience.

That person changed some board in there so I'm not sure why the loose wire was not caught. ATR cleaned everything and explained to me what was causing the boiler to blow some heat. We tested it and it worked. The tech gave me my paperwork and he made it very seamless. Everything has been pretty smooth with American Home Shield.

I am really bad about remembering username and passwords for accounts that I don't use often. Fortunately, they have an easy process for you to be able to access your information to submit a claim that does not add frustration to the frustration you already have for needing to submit a claim. They asked for the address and the telephone number associated with the account. Then, the contractor called me the same day and they came out to fix the problem on a Saturday. They were very professional and I was pleased that they were masked, given the climate.

    For anyone who is thinking about getting a home warranty, it will be really good to know what is already warrantied so that you don't get more than what you need. And there are a couple of different plans but it’s best to do all-inclusive because I wouldn't have thought that my air went out or that I would have had an issue with my hot water heater. They were relatively simple fixes but if I hadn't had American Home Shield, I would have been out of a couple of hundred dollars easily each time.

The repair was completed and soon after he left, we noticed that it still wasn't getting cool. Sub Zero kept the ticket open and told us to monitor it for a little while. The rep said that if need be, they would send out another more senior team to examine the other unit, which they did. The second team found that the fan was miswired. Once they repaired that and charged it up a little bit with some coolant, everything worked fine. Everything is fine now.

This house is in Phoenix, Arizona and I was in the midst of moving into the house.

    Myers Comfort Specialists did quick service in a timely manner. They took care of everything and were very professional. We did the claim on a Friday and we got a call Saturday that they would be coming on Monday or Tuesday. That was a good timeframe. The last time, it was like nearly a week. It was seven days and we even called back. The first time it was 5 to 7 days before they could come out. It was like way out there. So I called American Home Shield back and said we didn't need to go without air that long. I asked was there something else that could be done. They said there was nothing. I called back twice and there was nothing that American Home Shield said they could do 'cause that's who they use. I said there's got to be somebody within this area. I'm a property manager and I know lots of the AC people. That doesn't make sense how Myers is the only company in this area that American Home Shield uses.

    We have our refrigerator being worked on but the parts that they ordered are on backorder which is kinda odd. A lot of parts are on backorder for appliances because we're having issues too. It's been nearly three weeks since they came out. If you can't get a part from one place, it looks like you could try to get another part from another place. I'm very resourceful. If I can't get a refrigerator from Home Depot Pro, then I have another supplier. You always have to have a backup. They're just going to one place, they rely on that place and that's it.

    American Home Shield is a great service. They'd done really good with our pool. The only problem that I have is with the AC. I like Myers but I think if they can't come out and they're so busy, American Home Shield needs to have another person come out. They need to have a backup. We could go a whole week without an AC. That's not a big deal. They used to do it back in the old days. But now, the way homes are built, you don't want moisture-related issues to start setting up. When you've got insulation up there and there's no air circulating, moisture is gonna build up. It's not like the old homes where there were cracks where air could flow through.

    I submitted a claim to Home Shield for a garbage disposal. It was easy. The systems are easy to use and intuitive. The people have been positive and helpful. The contractor was friendly, knowledgeable and skillful. It was great. It was a repair. There were some things that lodged in there. The garbage disposal might sound a little different, but it works. Overall, we have been happy with everybody who has come out. Also, Home Shield has been a great service. They're professional. Plus, we moved into a house that had a lot of older appliances. We have been grateful to be able to work with everybody who has come out and to be insured. I had our microwave go, our dishwasher and oven. There have been a couple of things the last couple of years. We have been fortunate.

    I did a claim through the internet to American Home Shield and the website was fine. But there needs to be a place to put something down if you've already paid $75 and it's not fixed. I was calling back for a second call for my air conditioner. The technician from Pro-Tech Appliance Service came out, told us everything he knew and checked everything. It was good to go and he left. Pro-Tech Appliance was awesome, and the technician was very talkative and nice. Everything has been wonderful since then.

    There was a leak in one of the copper pipes at the top of my hot water heater. I went online and submitted a request to American Home Shield. The website was great. It was easy and comprehensive. I was able to do it in the parking lot of Lowe's on my cell phone. I got a text message and an email to say that I would be contacted within 24 hours.

    The service from Jim Bennett's Plumbing was exceptional. I even called them the night before to let them know that I had the problem. It was literally shooting water up and they made an accommodation to come out the next morning once they got the order from AHS. The rep was professional and cleaned up the floor. The repair saved my home. It would have been flooded overnight. Everything is functioning perfectly now. If I ever had any other plumbing or electronic issues, I would like American Home Shield to send them again. I am nothing but completely satisfied. Every communication that AHS has sent out, even down to the claim, was top-notch. I have no complaints. My brother uses it and my mother has it as well. We're a family.

    We have some difficulty in submitting claims. I called initially and waited for over an hour. Finally, I gave up. My mom called the day before and she was put on hold for over an hour as well. She got up at 6 o'clock in the morning yesterday to make sure she called early. She finally got ahold of someone, and then that lady was rude to her. But finally, we got an email with our claim information. It has not been a great experience.

    We had another experience where my mom's microwave was damaged or broken. They had a technician come out 15 times to repair. I thought that AHS should just buy a new microwave which was like $100. To have someone come out that many times, that’s probably 10 times that much just sending a technician out rather than just repairing. AHS finally got my mom a new microwave. But it was like two years. Ridiculous. Then, she would go days without being able to use their microwave. AHS should just get it together.

    My refrigerator died and the vendor who came out was excellent compared to my last home warranty people. The technician tried to run it through the defrost cycle. He looked at it. He cleaned it out to try to help it get through the defrost cycle. Unfortunately, as the weeks went on, it was not able to overcome that. It started not working again and so I called them. They came back out. They looked at it and said that there was nothing else that they could do for that unit. Then I contacted American Home Shield and they set me up to go buy a new one and get it reimbursed for a part of that. We were living out of a cooler for a month and a half. So the refrigerator repair is invaluable.

    American Home Shield and AM PM Services were fantastic. The people that American Home Shield sent out were the people that I would have used to repair that product if I didn't have them. They use good vendors compared to some of the other home warranty companies out there where they send out the cheapest person. Everything was good about their website.

If I was in the shower, I would turn the water on and the temperature is fine. As soon as I get in, I would have to take the quickest five-minute shower because the water would get cold right away. They ended up replacing the water heater because they knew something had broken on it. Since they’ve been out, the water is great.

    We had a plumbing emergency and Brick Street came out right away. They replaced the piece and fixed it. They were great. But when we had a problem with our fridge all summer, American Home Shield kept trying to get people to come out to fix it but they couldn't. We ended up getting a new fridge and they couldn't help us. They said they were more in the business of repairing and not replacing, but it was obvious that they couldn't fix it. We understood.

Getting something replaced would be a major problem. The only reason I'm still with AHS is that I've been with them for so long. It has been 10 years.

    My recent claim with AHS was for my personal property and it went really well. When I first called, it was gonna be another week to get an appointment 'cause it's crazy right now. But, I called my rep because I wanted to talk to a person to try to expedite it and she made it happen. The guy who came out was excellent. First off, he came right away. He was on time, which I loved and he needed to get a part. Parts are really hard to get right now but he worked really hard to get the part. It was just cool. He was in our house taking everything out as there are places that you can never get to unless all the shelves are out. I just loved that. He was a great guy.

    I'm a Realtor. So when there's a home warranty to be ordered, I always order them from American Home Shield. They are really good. It's super easy to submit a claim.

    It has been about three weeks ago since I put the first claim for my air conditioner. American Home Shield has scheduled the appointments and they've done exactly what the contract or agreement is about. But the air conditioning company that came out didn't diagnose the problem correctly the first time. I called the air conditioning company again today to set up this appointment. That is the fifth time that I've had to call.

    The first time that the air conditioning company came out, they drained some water out of the pan upstairs in the attic. The air conditioner came back on and worked for about two days, then it quit. So I had to call them again. They sent another guy out. He drained the pan and put an overflow spout where it would automatically drain the pan. The air conditioner came back on and stayed on for three days and then it went back off again. So, I had a call again.

    The air conditioning company came out and complained that they couldn't go up there without a catwalk. They needed a catwalk to walk on. So, my son and I had to build a work platform and a catwalk. I’m 74 years old and I have gone up and down the thing and put all borders down and it didn't really bother me. But according to their guidelines, they needed a catwalk up there. So, we put about a 10-inch wide catwalk. The tech came back again and said that it was sufficient. We put down a work platform about four foot wide and about six feet long. Then we put down beside the catwalk another four-foot-wide flooring there. We've called them again to see if they'll come back. Hopefully this time, they won't complain about it and they will diagnose the problem correctly and fix it.

    I hate American Home Shield. Every time we have something break down and I have to call them, my husband and I have to flip a coin for who is going to actually do it because it's that much of torture just talking to any of the incompetent people they have there. I call them and ask them for something. English is my second language and I am not racist, but I can never understand the people that I'm speaking to. The line is always fuzzy. They always put my name down incorrectly. For 10 years, they can't get the addresses right. They send people to other people's homes that I don't even own and then they never call back. The plumbing system in our newest house was so horrible. There was one plumber that came there and he lied in order to get a bunch of things changed. American Home Shield doesn’t cover those and we would have to pay them directly. Then everything the plumber told us was false.

    American Home Shield should be shut down. They are horrible and they hire third-rate trash technicians. I'm forced to go to another contract. If I had another choice, I’d go somewhere else but I'm just too lazy to switch. In 10 years, and we have about nine houses with them, 1 is the worst but I don't even think they deserve a 1.

    Our air conditioner wasn't blowing cold air through the house and it was when it was a little bit warmer. We filed the claim and a guy came out one month ago. He was awesome and he had great customer service skills and technical ability. He got everything working and it worked for about a week and a half. Then, it went back to doing the same thing. He said he replaced the capacitor, the fan and one other thing. So, knowing that all of those things were replaced, I figured some minor erroneous thing went wrong. So, I called American Home Shield again and submitted a follow-up ticket. They sent a different guy out who said that a fuse had blown or the capacitor had come unplugged. It was quick to take care of and get it figured out. So far, it's been great. It has gotten a little cooler so we haven't really been using our air conditioner at all. But we've used it a little bit and it worked perfectly fine. So, no complaints at all.

    We’re happy with the experience and I'd recommend the contractor that AHS used to anybody. They were great, personable, knowledgeable and great guys to chat with. They did a great job too. It was just happenstance that it required two outings. It was an overall positive experience.

    The submission of the claim part is very easy. However, I am often frustrated after that, with the timeliness that I get a response from the service providers by any means. My last experience with the garage door people was absolutely amazing. In my experience with the air conditioner, I had two different claims. One of them was absolutely amazing as well. The other one was not. Typically, some claims are more urgent than others. American Home Shield would need to encourage their providers to prioritize some of their claims. For example, we had a claim that was causing major water damage to our home, which was going to force us to file an insurance claim, and cost us even more money. The air conditioner company did not care.

    There was one guy who came out and just did refrigerator alone, and he didn't actually do anything while he was there. He just looked at it. Then the ice maker is still not working, but we said to forget about it. Another guy came out from Sears and he worked on several things. But all of those things needed a part. One of the parts came in while I was at my dad's house and he put that one on. Then he's going to be back on October 5th to put two other parts on. That guy has been fine. The first guy that had to do with the refrigerator, however, is still not done.

    The contractors were pretty responsive. The only thing that was an issue was that it first sent me on the appliances to something like Honesty Appliances but they don't work on those particular models. So then what happens is a lot of time goes by because I'm thinking they're coming, but when they call to just confirm, then they can't even do it. Then it has to go back to American Home Shield. Sears doesn't answer the phone for half an hour. So it was like a process. When I finally got through with Sears, they didn't have the work order loaded into the system so then I had to call American Home Shield back. I have had the AHS services for some six years or more and I loved it. I am the one that referred them to my dad because I think it would be great. They're elderly. I also told my brother to get it.

    The dryer wasn't working and then the sink and the garbage disposal when we bought the house. When we first got there, they said they could only put in one claim. Then I spoke to a supervisor that said we could put in both the claim. She told us to just give them the information on the escrow, which we did. Then she said they would get technicians and they would transfer us back to the department and they would process it. When they transferred me back, they said they could only process one. So we decided that we needed the dryer fixed because we were all filthy from moving and we wanna wash our clothes. We could get to-go food because we thought it'd only be a day or two 'til the sink was working.

    The contractor came out and fixed the dryer. It was great. Then when I called back, they said they couldn't process the other claim until they get the money from the title company. I've been calling every week and finally, I asked the title company if they paid these people because they still haven't got the check. They told me the check number and the amount. So then I called and asked for a supervisor. I've called a million times now. I talked to a supervisor and said the check number and the amount. I also told them the phone number of the title company. Then they said everything was so slow because of the coronavirus. They said the check probably arrived but processing it in their system is taking time. So American Home Shield admitted they're slow on their end too. They assured me the check went out the day we closed escrow but it's been three weeks or more now.

    When we finally got the approval to get to them with the check number, they gave me the approval to do the sink. We called the contractor but they can't come until October 2nd. I called American Home Shield right back and told them that October 2nd was too far without a kitchen sink. Then they said they would just need verification from them. They called but they were closed because it was the end of the day. They said they were gonna email them and they would follow up by tomorrow. They would just have another person log into our account.

    On my phone, I logged in to American Home Shield a thousand times a day to see if the check cleared. But a week later, still nothing. So I called and they said the company never released it. I called the company back and they said that anytime American Home Shield contacted them, they released it immediately. I told them that they were closed when American Home Shield called them and they said they emailed them. But they said they had zero emails and calls from them. So I told them that if they have a cancelation, they could call me and I would make sure someone was home. The rep looked on and she said there is an October 1st appointment, so they can at least get me in by then. I was okay with that. But meanwhile, I've been three or four weeks now without a kitchen sink.

    American Home Shield is probably good if you paid it and you were just using it as a consumer, like for an emergency. But because I moved in and needed it right when we closed and then they didn't get the check, that was where the problem they couldn’t fix them both better. It's a complete nightmare. I do talk to a supervisor and then they transfer me back to somewhere else. Then they don't do what the supervisor just told me they were gonna do, so it's dumb.

    The bottom burner on my oven wasn't working and Aurora Appliance Repair replaced it. When I called them, they were able to get the serial number for the oven and they ordered the part and it took maybe four days to get the part in. Most of the time, my claims experience with American Home Shield is decent. I had one issue. It was with a dishwasher, and this is when COVID had just started. The guy wasn't wearing a mask. I didn't appreciate that. I've only had two people in since that happened. Then I've had trouble with my furnace where I really felt like they should have replaced it and they didn't. This was a few years back but my husband had a stroke and it took three different companies to come out.

    The guy that finally was able to fix it turned something up. It was extremely hot and I really didn't feel like it was even safe. I was in the midst of caring for my husband. So I worked with them, but I normally would have not allowed that. I have old pipes and American Home Shield doesn't deal with anything with galvanized pipes. As far as plumbing, I don't like the plumbers that they have. Often, they won't even look at anything but just blame it on the pipes. I'm really considering stopping the coverage.

    Some sockets and two outside lights weren’t getting power. I called Home Shield and the first company doesn't speak English. I called back and all I got was an answering service. Then, I finally got a lady that works from her home. They said they were sending people out and it never happened. But they found somebody else. A Comfort Technology tech came and he went in there and clipped something. He was wiggling everything around in the extension cord and now, every outlet and the outside lights work. The tech did good. He did the job fast, minded his own business, and he cleaned.

    Since American Home Shield sent us Ambition Plumbing, I thought they were good. That claim was for a stopper jam on a sink in the master bedroom, and the toilet and shower in the master bedroom were plugged. That was three months ago. When they came, they were great and when they left, the plumbing was working. The problem may have been that as far as their auger would go is far as they were able to clean stuff out and they couldn't see any further. They did not use a camera.

    We called in the same thing a week and a half ago. American Home Shield sent a company called ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing and their action was to say they couldn't do anything with the drains not draining because I had a high-pressure relief valve. They wanted to replace it, which is the water intake into the house, instead of fixing the drain. So we said that didn't fix anything and I'm not gonna pay $1000 to change the water pressure into my house. I do not want them to ever come back to our house. We told American Home Shield that I needed a second opinion and it happened with Immediate Response Plumbing. An hour after we called, they were here. They came at 5:00 Friday night and diagnosed the problem and they got done at 7:00. I paid an extra $225 and I told them to put a camera down there to find out what's going on. When they took the picture, they said that I got a problem and showed it to me.

    The reps said that my pipe has separated and collapsed underneath my house. They think it's a foundation issue. We'll find out as soon as they get to the pipe. So, we're without two bathrooms and I had hip surgery the day before we called them in. American Home Shield immediately told us that since it's a problem with a pipe underneath my house, it's not their responsibility. So, I contracted with Immediate Response Plumbing and the very next day, they had people out jackhammering into the foundation to get to the pipe so we can get it fixed.

    We hired American Home Shield seven years ago because we had a catastrophic failure of two water heaters and a water softener, all at one time. I said that enough was enough. We've gotta protect ourselves. I'm satisfied with them but before, when you call, you get an immediate response. There's someone there. I got it that it's a call center but once this COVID thing happened, all of a sudden, you gotta wait hours. I happen to love their computer program because you get to put the information in quickly but it doesn't give you any access to say what's wrong.
