    I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO MY WORST ENEMY! Twice now we have had to contact American Home Shield for a repair and both times it has been a pure nightmare. If I had to do over with I never would have signed up with this company. NOBODY IN CUSTOMER SERVICE SPEAKS CLEAR ENGLISH! The only people you will ever talk to that speak clear English if you do have to talk to them is the dispatch people.

    The first person I spoke to did not do his job right and expedite the work order as he said he would, I was told I would be called back in 4 hours and after 4 1/2 I called back, was again told I would be contacted in 4 hours and again I had to call back after the 4 hours. I actually finally got a call back about 14 hours later only to be told there was nothing they could do at that point and I had to wait it out. Now we are looking at Thursday for a repair on our refrigerator that stopped working Friday night. Last year it was our A/C unit and it happened in July the hottest part of the year. It took over two weeks to get it repaired. Never ever again will I use the warranty company to cover anything. I will find a new company that has a much better service and customer service that speaks English that you can understand.

    Air condition started not to cool too well Friday, Call AHS to ask for an AC service company to come look at it. Did online and receive an email that I will be contacted by an contractor within 24 hours. I call them on Saturday morning, no answer and left them a message. They didn't call me back until Monday afternoon after 3 PM. Then told me their next appointment is Wednesday between 2-8 PM. It's 100 degree out there and my AC is not cooling.

    Dealing with the individuals in order to request a work order is an absolute nightmare. The rules are the rules. I fully accept that and understand that. However, it should not take 30 minutes to see if a certain item is covered. When there is an obvious communication error and a person is asking to speak to a more knowledgeable person about a problem, Please just transfer the call and let’s stop wasting each other’s time. I find it hard to be that there are no immediate floor supervisors available and that there is not a customer service number. I am completely disappointed. I have dealt with Lynn before and actually thought she was having a bad day but I am seeing a pattern. Thank you Ma’am for motivating me to find another home warranty provider.

    I have returned each email and tried to call with the message you left. It said, to respond with “option 3.” There is no option 3, only entering the extensions 10 digit # which I didn’t have.

    That said, after 13 days, 3 companies (1 private that I hired) 5 days I or a family member graciously took off to meet with technicians to not fix the issue, my air was returned to working order by Next Gen. Steve was great, took his time, and did what needed to have been done all along.

    However, my original review was less about the contractors and more regarding my constant contacts with AHS, having to constantly remind, inquire, set appointments, re-explain, and wait 13 days because of miscommunication between contractors and AHS, or no communication from AHS to me, the client. After spending $12,400 in 14 years of being a client, I would have hoped for better.

    Original Review: Sept. 9, 2019

    American Home Shield is a nationally recognized company. For that reason, I went with them and have had some good experiences with them in the past when it came to servicing smaller items in my home. However, it has been 8 days as of right now and my central AC is yet to be fixed. They have sent out two contractors to the house, the first one completely dishonest and inept, while the second, still in process of diagnosing and trying to fix the issue. However, the companies they send is not the reason for this review. When I request service be it online or by phone, I expect that when a contractor is assigned, they should be doing all of the leg-work at that point, following up, scheduling appointments, service calls, etc. If the company they send fails to do their due diligence and a follow-up is needed, a recall if you will, AHS should upon clear notification, reschedule thing. NOPE.

    In fact, apparently, it is completely, out-of-sight-out-of-mind at AHS. I have had to follow up with both the contractor and AHS on now multiple recall appointments and status checks for appointments to have my AC fixed in this TEXAS summer heat. My house is 92 degrees on the inside and climbing for the past 8 days with 3 children and AHS keeps saying, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." This company has one job, get paid a service fee to locate, schedule, get repairs fixed, and follow up with their clients to make sure the repair is done correctly. So far, they cannot complete the first half of this task. Incompetence seems to reign at this company. After 14 years of doing business, it might to time to do business elsewhere or start my own competing business since I'm already doing the greater part of theirs.

    Our pressure tank went out, we had no water. We had to get a plumber ASAP. I called to check on getting the pressure tank and service paid for, but was told it

    wasn't covered. In the plumbing section of our contract, it states that pressure regulator are covered. The pressure tank is what regulates the water if you have a well. What good is the warranty if the parts of a system that are needed to provide water are not covered? Very disappointed! Debra **

    Updated on 09/12/2019: American Home Shield contacted me about my other review 5 times and I’ve replied but heard nothing back. Their focus is misplaced and they need to be more customer friendly. I expect a reply and solution from them but they are not very forthcoming.

    Original review: I’m going on a month with no air conditioning. Just had the third vendor out and he advised he didn’t have to go into the attic to look at some part due to the issue being outside. He submitted the info to AHS and the fix was denied due to him not going inside and looking at the part that was working fine. This was the third vendor; the first said the outdoor unit was beyond repair but they can't replace it, the second was unprofessional and actually threw a piece of my ac unit across the yard because he couldn’t figure out where a wire went, he also told a lie to AHS about the condition of my house and said he wasn’t coming back.

    Rather than believe me as the homeowner the repair tech was believed. I even offered to send photos and was told no thanks. There is no indoor issue and AHS is now impeding the repair of my ac unit. My husband has a medical condition that requires him to ensure he doesn’t get overheated, which I have advised to AHS. I’ve called multiple times without resolution, can’t get a straight answer from their reps, reps don’t seem to listen to anything I say or can’t understand due to language barrier. This is overall one of the absolute worst companies I have ever interacted with.

    My recent claim with American Home Shield was on my air conditioning unit. The fan was working but the air was not cool. I called the company and they set the repair up. The contractor A & A Heating & Cooling came out after a few days and they were good people. The AC works just fine now -- it's very pleasant to get a good night's sleep. I'm satisfied with AHS. I would tell my friends that AHS takes a load off their minds just to let them take care of everything.

    The last two contractors I've had come in to make repairs have done excellent work. So I really appreciate American Home Shield taking the time to get contractors for these types of jobs. Thank you. One claim that I had was for my toilet that was leaking. I submitted the claim and I had a callback within a couple of days then I had an appointment scheduled within a couple of days. The experience was excellent.

    The name of the guy who came to see me is Steve and he was excellent as well. I even had a courtesy call prior to the day he showed up and also on the day he showed up. I understand why he had that window but it was really helpful to have this courtesy call. It's always really helpful when you know when they'd be there. He showed up on time, made the repair and was out within 10 minutes. He also answered all the questions I had while I was there. He did a good job. The toilet has been excellent since then.

    Proficient Appliance Repair came out recently for the fridge which was not cooling. The water was leaking inside the fridge, and they came and changed some parts. The water filter was leaking so they changed that too. They came a couple of times, and it looks like everything is fine now. They explained what the issue was and they took care of ordering of the parts. They were pretty efficient in terms of communication and keeping us updated on where the parts were and when they were gonna come over. Everything at American Home Shield was online, so there was no phone call and it was very communicative. Everything went well.

    We have an air conditioning unit and it needed Freon which was costing us $1,600. To fix it, it wasn’t making sense to spend $1,600 to this thing so American Home Shield gave us a choice. They were going to spend that much money on fixing it so we just decided to get a new one and they reimbursed us for the part that they were going to change. But we were without air conditioning for almost six weeks. It was so hard.

    American Home Shield should scrutinize their techs before they add them on because we had a lot of problems with the techs who had come in. Some are so nice but some are more anxious to find extra things that they need to do. I wasn’t very happy with the first technician, but this one was very nice and honest. He tested the air conditioning unit out and told me that there was a leak and what was happening. The first one said we had to fill it with Freon then they will fix it but that sounded silly. Also, we have to wait a lot when we call American Home Shield and that’s one thing I don’t like at all. They really give you a runaround. You call and call and call.

    A faucet was leaking on the outside. I filed a claim to American Home Shield online and the experience was fine. The contractor contacted me by phone and I liked him - his personality, his honesty. He's a straight shooter. In fact, I’ll probably use him for plumbing that’s not under warranty. We rented this house for four years before we purchased it, and it had American Home Shield under them. We had a lot of crappy problems with the air conditioning system then. When we bought the house, the seller paid for a year and then we renewed one year.

    Right now, they’re too expensive. My sister was in the middle of having open-heart surgery at the time the renewal came up. I went ahead and I renewed it. It went up $300 more than the cost and I just didn’t have time to deal with it then. I wanted to maintain some type of coverage since I’ve had such a crappy AC. They ended up replacing the outside unit and the inside unit, but I’m still having to add on Freon. I just don’t know when it’s gonna break again. So I’m not that happy with them overall, but as far as what the plumber did, I’m totally satisfied. But I don’t know whether I’ll keep them. AHS is horrible to deal with on air conditioning issues. It was basically two and a half years of horror dealing with them. They gotta have some type of policy to cover for air conditioning and heating systems, the big stuff.

    We're really satisfied with American Home Shield. We've only had to call somebody for the AC, and they reached out to us within 24 hours to set up a time for someone to come out. We had somebody out here in May to fix it, and the guy said it just needed Freon or antifreeze. He added it that day and was supposed to come back and check it a couple of days later, and he never came back. One Friday we came home from work and the AC had stopped working, and it was super hot in here. Andrew went out and used the water hose to rinse everything off, and he reset the breakers a couple of times. He messed with it a couple of hours before it came back on.

    We called AHS again because we needed to see what was going on. All Tech Air Conditioning came out and those guys were awesome. They sent out three guys that day and they looked at it. They were here for about 45 minutes and did all the stuff they were supposed to do, and they talked to Andrew about everything. They did the temperature check and all the stuff and said there was nothing wrong with it. We think what might have been happening is we have our girls half the time, so they use those bedrooms of our house. When they’re gone, we always shut off the vents in there and let the air run in the parts that we use the house.

    The guy said that we should try to leave all the registers open 24/7 'cause he said there’s some sort of static pressure that might have made the air stop working. He told us to try that for the next couple of weeks and see how it did. We’ve been trying to do that and it seems to be keeping up. The tech said if it were to stop working again, to give them a call and they would come back out as if it wasn’t working because there may be something else going on. But as of right now it's been running fine and we haven't had any issues.

    When the gentleman from Expert Pools came in to fix the heater, the engine was not working well because there was an air leak. So, he tightened that up. Then, he clicked the heater on, but it clicked something else. So, everything was working fine before, and then, it stopped working. When I called it, I thought that maybe they can fix the heater since it is covered. But he said that he did not try even to work the heater. He said it was fixed. But after he was leaving, I said if he could just take a look at the system to make sure. His answer was, “I have my car on. I have to go to the next appointment.” The gentleman only needed one minute to take a look at it. I then went back, and noticed that the chlorine linker was not working. I thought that maybe it was scheduled the next day. I took a water test and I took it for them. They said, “Well, there is no chlorine.”

    So, I thought that it was the problem with the electricity. It was not coming to it because it was not turning on. I brought an electrician and he said it was working. I just needed to reprogram the system. He said that whoever touched this stripped the system. So, I called Expert Pools saying that they can tell me how to program it on the phone and that I am handy. However, the lady gave an attitude. I just wanted to get the pool fixed.

    Right now, AHS charged me twice for an electrician because the electrician was supposed to be with the garage door, too. When the garage door showed up, he said he was not an electrician. When I called AHS back, they said that they will need to bring another electrician. When they did that, they charged me another 100. It happened that the garage door spring was broken because it kept going up and down and I told that to the garage door guy. He said, “You have to pay 300, and then, we’ll fix the spring.” I said, “Fine.” As soon as he left, he didn't even wait to check it. It went back up and down again, and it was a new spring. So, it is unplugged because the gentleman said I cannot have it on. Yesterday, I told AHS that all this money has been charged and nothing has been fixed. Overall, aside from charging me an extra, I do not have a problem with American Home Shield. Every time I call, they are very nice. The only problem is with their contractors.

So when there was an AC issue, I submitted a claim online to AHS wherein I just clicked the schedule a service and they got back to me on the same day. Within an hour, the tech called me up and I was surprised. He then made an appointment, called me a couple of times and let me know he was coming. He came over the next day and he was ahead of schedule. He looked at the problem and he fixed it. He put Freon and said the problem was we’re low on refrigerant. He was very good and he just charged me for the extra Freon and refrigerant, and that’s it.

    The representative at American Home Shield was very friendly and polite when I submitted a claim over the phone. I had a leaky hose and a jammed garbage disposal, and the claim took multiple trips but only because Budget Rooter needed to order a new faucet. Our faucet was old and it was kinda off brand so you couldn't get parts for it. So it was a few days while they got the new faucet. Then they came back and put it in, and so far, the hose and the garbage disposal have been good since the repair. Budget Rooter was flawless.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been horrible. I'm very dissatisfied with the company. I've had to call multiple times to get something done. It's still not done, and the latest supervisor I spoke with ended the call on me because he did not wanna hear what I had to say because it took too much of their time. After they kept me on hold for 45 minutes, when I wanted to give him the entire story for five minutes, he told me, "I don't need to stay on the phone for this. I'm gonna go ahead and end this call." I said, "You will not hang up on me," and he said, "Yes, I will. I'm gonna end this call now." He did. I would love for someone to listen to that call because he didn't wanna hear my frustration.

    He said, "You've got my word. I'll take care of it" because I was frustrated that no one's done what they said they'd do, and I told him that. But he hasn't because I had to call them again. I finally went to Facebook and messaged them because I don't wanna hear from anybody else who will not help me. I want it in writing and that they would get back with that supervisor because it's noted he was gonna do it and has not.

    When I originally submitted the claim for service, the ice maker wasn't working. So, they sent out a guy. What I was trying to tell that supervisor was about the company that they originally sent me. I told him that they should take them off their list of preferred vendors because they were horrible and I would never recommend them. I told the supervisor, "If you can provide any feedback, this company is not worth your time." He didn't wanna hear it. I was asking them, "What happens after hours? Because depending on the hours I call you guys, I get good service or bad service." He was like, "I can't tell you anything about that. I can just tell you that we'll help you." I said, "Okay. Well, I'm just telling you, if I call after 4:00, I get no help. If I call before that, you guys semi-helpful." So, I was trying to provide feedback. I was trying to share with him what was going on and where I think they have an opportunity.

    The vendor came in, did nothing, and then said they did something. They wouldn't send in the bill to AHS, so I was waiting for the ticket to be reassigned because he said it was a plumbing issue and not an appliance issue. He did nothing except tell me that. And so then, I had to wait for him to submit it so AHS would send out a plumber without billing me because it was the same issue. The plumber came and he said, "Oh, he never turned on the water switch." So it wasn't plumbing, it was the water switch, but the appliance still didn't work. Then I had to call back and say I need someone to come do the appliance now because the plumber said it was not them. So, now I have a third person come out.

    AHS assigned me to that same vendor, and I said, "I will not have them back in my home. Please choose another vendor." So then, they chose another vendor, and they didn't tell me who they chose or when they chose or if they did, and someone just showed up at my house. He was great. He said the ice maker's motor was out and he'd order me a new one. In this whole time, I'm not paying multiple $75 fees because it's the same issue and AHS has had a service provider that failed to do any work or any troubleshooting for that matter.

    I paid a $75 fee, and then they billed me for a second one and they said, "We'll credit you that second one because it's a one-time courtesy," which is BS because it's not a courtesy. It's what they should do because the guy didn't do his job. But as long as I'm not paying, I'm not gonna argue. They said that they would credit that back and haven't. So now, my account shows past due as of last I got notice. That was when I emailed the Facebook group and they said, "No, they said they'd credit you, so we'll make sure they do. It takes seven to 10 days from now, so stay tuned."

    I'm new to AHS, unfortunately, and can't get out. It's just horrible that I'm being put in the middle of this. I'm getting zero ownership from the company on it and zero acknowledgement of my frustrations, and nobody wants to take the time to listen, even though I had to sit on the phone with them for over seven hours of time for an ice maker to be fixed. And it's like that AHS doesn't wanna give me five minutes to listen to my rant. That's not acceptable to me.

    They sent us the ice maker and never came back and install it, and we had to install it ourselves. They had it mailed to our house. I don't know if it's working correctly. We get ice, but it's really grinding loud whenever it processes ice. I've never had an ice maker sound like that. But I have not called AHS back because I don't want to deal with another fee. It's more stressful than anything for me to deal with AHS. It makes me sweat and cry talking to them.

The people that they sent out for my garage door was awesome. It’s a husband and wife team, and the wife phones and she tells you when the husband is gonna come.

    We had a shower valve that was leaking. We could not turn off the valve completely. The contractor sent by American Home Shield came and replaced the valves. The guy took care of the issue the same day. That plumbing claim went very well. He was a little gruff and not very friendly, but he wasn't rude. He was fine and very diligent. I had five different repairs going on during that time period, and he was the least friendly of the bunch. But, they were all professional. I had a pool pump and the pool guy did a great job. He was very friendly and very quick. Then, I had a washing machine that needed fixing. It took a couple of weeks to get the parts, but once they got the parts, the same guy who came out and assessed it replaced the parts. He was, again, very friendly. And I had a electrician on a ceiling fan, who was excellent and also diligent.

    However, with ceiling fans, AHS gives that limited lifetime warranty. But they do it where you have to take the fan down, box it up, pay to send it to the company, and then pay to send it back. And it’s a 15-year-old fan and it takes quite a while to do that. So,they actually didn’t pay for anything other than the serviceman to install it, because I had to buy a new fan and I had to pay for that. Because of the limited lifetime warranty, it costs more to send it in than the cost of a new fan. So, it is a gimmick that the fan manufacturers take advantage of and it is a gimmick that then American Home Shield takes advantage of. Rather than acknowledging the gimmick from the fan manufacturers, AHS goes with it and says, “Well, we don’t have to repair it or replace it.” Out of the five things, AHS did great on four of them.

It was just too old. So, he replaced it. He was in and out. He was pretty fast. So, it worked for me. He was very polite and very nice. I knew when they were coming. They let me know by phone. And so, I was fine with it. We loved it. I just wish AHS had a list of contractors.

    Our central AC went out and I submitted the claim by phone. American Home Shield started out fine. The first weekend was the Labor Day weekend, so it was a long weekend, and I knew if they didn't show up on Friday, there was nothing that was gonna get done until Tuesday which was exactly what happened. So, I had some very serious arguments with the American Home Shield guys. I said that if they didn't have a company that knows what they are doing then they should get another contractor. I also gave them the contractor who put the system in the house because their name is on the system. But they said, "Well, they don't work with us, so then you would be on your own." I said that that is not what an insurance is for. I said, "If nothing else, declare an emergency service so that somebody shows up the same day that we've been complaining about for a week and a half now." By that time it was Wednesday already.

    The company that they assigned has been sending out people who said that all sorts of stuff was wrong. The first guy tried and he came back three times. Then AHS sent another guy from another company to come by. He was here last Saturday, and he did some work but he couldn't find the resolution either. He said that he had no experience with this system, so my first question was, "Why are you here?" Then the A-US Air sent another guy on Sunday who seemed to know what he was doing, and he has been working with me. He has been very responsive and he communicated with me yesterday after he left and this morning. He is talking to Trane today to get resolutions on various bits and pieces that he feels are not correct. Also, he temporarily got the system to run, so, at least, I'm relief of the 100 plus degree weather inside my house.

    I have been an American Home Shield customer since 1995, and we have always recommended them to everybody. They are fast and they do very good work. In this case, they failed to have the right contractor respond. The contractor at one point hang up on me because I was asking him to do something that he did not feel like doing. It has been a two-week nightmare.

I called and spoke to a rep and they said that they were gonna refer it out to the appropriate contractor. It was a central air condition situation, so they said that they were gonna call and reach out to a central air technician and they would work it out with me to set up the arrangements.

    Then I had someone meet the contractor there and they were able to resolve it right away. It’s a new property I just bought and I'm a new homeowner, so I decided to get some type of warranty service for the place, and it worked out well. Thank God I had the policy. It’s always on the safe side to have the warranty. In case something major comes about, at least AHS could look at it and make a determination on which would be the best way to go and go from there.

    We had American Home Shield in two different homes and we've been with them close to 16 years. My sister is a Realtor and a broker and she recommends them very highly. We had them out here to fix stuff like leaky toilets and it's been great. Also, the folks at the appliance repair place here were very nice and professional. When we lived in Midland, Texas, we had a dishwasher claim and they took care of that.

    Recently, we had discovered that one of the digits on our microwave oven had gone out on our timer. The tech that came out did a research to see if he could find the part to replace what was not working in the microwave and he couldn't find it. He said that the company would have to do some research and that they'll get back with us. And so, he left and we did a little research on the internet ourselves. We found out that this particular model is being discontinued so that's why the guy couldn't find it. I called the office locally back and told them what happened.

    We found the same type of microwave through Home Depot and went ahead and bought it. It's kind of a weird deal. When the people built the cabinet for this house, they cut a big hole for the microwave to fit in and then it has a trim kit around the outside of it so only one of those large 2.2 cubic foot microwaves can fit in there. Everything else is smaller now. That was the problem so we just didn't even try to get any kind of reimbursement and we just paid for it ourselves.

    My washer would turn on but it wouldn't spin and water wouldn't come out. You would only see the letters on the digital display. We tried it out a couple of times and didn't work. I called American Home Shield and told them I needed a maintenance guy to come and take a look at the washer. The rep was really informative and friendly. She was really good. My only issue with American Home Shield is it's a little hard to contact someone and it takes a while for them to get back to me.

    The contractor who came for the washer was fine. They said it was a computer issue on the system. The only problem was he didn't give me information about what was going on. I pretty much felt like I was left in the air because nobody called me back to let me know if they were ordering a part or not. They should have given me more information. Also, when I called the appliance company, no one would pick up the phone.

    After a week or so, American Home Shield told me they were gonna look into it and see what was going on. They looked into the system and they saw that they were trying to get the part ordered. But they saw that the part was no longer in stock. They didn't have it at all for that machine. I found out they were gonna replace the unit. They talked to me about that this morning so I have to go look online which washer would be compatible for the area I'm gonna put the washer in. They told me I could get the same brand and if it's not the same brand, I would just pay the difference of the unit that I got.

    Back in the day, we had a couple of weird experiences with AHS and they blamed the issue on a pebble. Still, the fear of something breaking has kept us with them. Recently, we woke up one morning and it was unusually hot. Our AC was not working and my wife submitted a claim to American Home Shield. Their response was pretty quick. Initially, they gave her a contractor that didn't answer but then AHS gave her a second one who came by later that day. The tech who came started out a little cranky from running around on a hot day but then he came around. He went up on the roof, looked at something and did something else. He went back and said that he had found the problem which was a fan motor. He replaced it and the AC has been working well since then.

    My thermostat cut off and I was getting nothing on it, so I filed an online claim with American Home Shield. They got right back with me that morning of the first business day after the Labor Day holiday, and they gave me a choice of four different AC companies -- I chose to go with Stockdale Service Company. The issue was a clogged drain. It was supposed to drain from the AC unit up in the attic but it was clogged. So the thermostat did what it was supposed to do, to cut off until you get that clog taken care of. The guy repaired my issue, and it went well.

    The air conditioner was making a very loud noise and I called American Home Shield to submit a claim. The rep was awesome and very quick. The contractors were awesome too. They called me when they were on their way out, because I live far out, just to make sure someone was there. They also called me when they got there. I watched everything over the camera because they did it on the outside and they didn't even have to get inside the house, so no one had to be there. They came out and replaced the fan motor, but put the old fan on. The knuckle that holds the fan to the drive was too big, so it was still making a noise, and they came right back out after they ordered a new fan, and fixed it. So, everything was perfect and there has been no issues since the repair.

    Original Review: Sept. 8, 2019

    This is the first time we used AHS for a claim. We live in Florida, so it's very hot. Our AC went out and we called AHS around 6:00 pm on 9/4/19. We paid our $100 deductible online, and was told that World Class AC in St Cloud would give us a call. We received phone #s of 407-955-4724 and cell # 407-433-3716. We advised that St Cloud was not close to where we lived. They assured us that they would call that night, as we advised how it was very hot and we needed someone that night.

    On 9/4/19, we called World Class twice at the phone #s listed above requesting that they call us ASAP. We received no calls from them, so we called AHS on the morning of 9/5/19 and advised that it was to be over 100 degrees heat index and the house was very hot. They advised that we would need to wait until 4:00 pm so they could cancel the dispatch and get someone else there. We again called requesting to speak to a manager. AHS advised that they would call World Class to see if they were closed. Our call got disconnected.

    Again we called back requesting a manager. AHS advised the same as above. I demanded a manager, was put on hold, and then was advised no managers were available. I told AHS that this was not right. He then said he'd call World Class. He advised that he left a message and requested we wait another hour so World Class could call back. I advised they had 18 hours to call back and didn't.

    While on hold I found another phone number, and called it. They answered and stated they could be here next Tuesday. We advised this was unacceptable and requested they cancel the dispatch, which they did. I advised AHS of this, and he kept arguing with me, advising we'd have to wait and denying me to speak to a manager. I requested that my $100 deductible be returned and he stated that if the dispatch was canceled that it would be 14 to 21 days before it would be returned. He still would not give me a manager, or someone who could help, so I hung up.

    We called another company and they came out within 45 minutes. It's impossible to find a phone number to call besides customer service, which will not give you a manager to speak with. They only follow their "guidelines", and are unable to make any changes due to special circumstances. I believe AHS should pay for the service call as well as the repairs that were completed. We had no choice but to call someone else as we could not get any help, and this was a dire situation with the heat index being over 100 degrees, I have asthma and I babysit my special needs granddaughter.

They took care of everything that day, and we've decided to use them now for HVAC maintenance. I did the claim online and I got a confirmation email from American Home Shield that they had connected me to that particular vendor. The vendor took over from there and contacted me.

I had an issue with the refrigerator and American Home Shield sent out somebody for it. It was wonderful. I added a claim for my stove. The stove was very old and they had a recall. We received a new glass top stove and Ralph Transport brought it. But they couldn’t take the old one out so they left the new product with us. My husband looked in the book and it said that professional electricians had to install it.

    I called American Home Shield and they sent Mr. Fix-it. It was very quick. By the time I was talking to someone there, I got a beep and it was Mr. Fix-it. A technician was on his way over to help us out. I understand we wouldn’t get our $100 refunded to us because American Home Shield switched it from Ralph Transport to Mr. Fix-it. We weren’t eligible for that. When the technician from Mr. Fix-it came, he was very nice. Apparently, the stovetop comes in 30 or 36 inches and the 30-inch one that we got would just go right to the floor. The guy put some little wood at my husband’s suggestion. He did it all for us. We also have an air conditioner problem and Air Boss was our given contractor. We had them here for our air conditioning issue before and the problem wasn’t corrected.

    I called for service about three months ago and the service repair guy said that it was just the fan. Then, most recently, I had visitors coming over and when I got home, it completely stopped working. I just got the service done, and I thought that the situation was gonna be resolved and I'm not gonna have any issues but then, it went out again. The service provider who came out the second time took a close look at it. I didn't wanna leave his side until he has actually figured out what was wrong because I couldn't afford to pay the $80 again for the same situation. So, he looked at it and he said it looked like the electrical box has been detached and it was loose. They sent out another guy to come out and look at it, and he replaced the box.

    The contractors were courteous and very professional. Both of the most recent guys came out and did what they were supposed to do, and they were very quick. The last time that he came, my window was from 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock but he finished up a job earlier than he expected, and he was able to come extremely early, which worked best for me and my schedule. So, everything was perfect. Since then, everything has been great. Everything is moving and working fine. I haven't had any problems and I can actually hear the fan.

    I called in a claim to American Home Shield and the rep I dealt with was great. I was told that the re-key was part of my agreement with them. Dan's Pro-Lock, the contractor, was awesome. The guy was great and he understood my frustrations with the previous homeowner not leaving the keys for proper locks. He was super helpful in making sure that we had what we needed when he left. I would call Dan’s again if anything ever went wrong.

    We had an issue with our fridge, and so we called American Home Shield. They sent a tech out who diagnosed it very quickly as an issue that could not be fixed. From there, there was nothing that he could do and we had to figure out what they wanted to do from there. He told us that it would probably be a week or so until we heard from them, but he also made it clear he wasn’t 100% sure about that. Our fridge was dripping and leaking onto the wood floor so we didn’t want to wait very long. We waited until we got the official email from them that the claim had been not closed, but moved on. The next morning we called American Home Shield to figure out what we were supposed to do. We escalated to find out what we were allowed to do, and then went and got a new fridge. At this point, we've sent them the receipt and we are waiting for payment from them.

    We also had some issues with whoever put the fridge in the first time. We bought this house a few years ago, and the lady who sold it to us couldn’t figure out a way to get rid of the fridge. So we offered to just leave it for us, which was awesome and wonderful. But when we got back there, we found out that whoever had put it in for her had broken off the water valve accidentally. The on-off thing was gone, so we had to get a plumber in here and they had to completely replace the one on it. We bought the fridge on Saturday of Labor Day weekend with the intention of getting it delivered on Sunday. But instead we had to get a plumber out here. Overall American Home Shield did their job as they are supposed to do it, and we will continue to pay them money to fix our appliances.

    American Home Shield sent out Keepin It Cool when our microwave wasn’t working. They had to replace the circuit board. They were great. The tech was on time, and I showed him what it was and what it was not doing. He knew immediately what it was, and he wrote down the part number and the brand of the microwave. He had to order the part, and a week and a half later, the part came in. He came in, took the microwave front off, put in the new circuit board, and everything worked.

    I recommend American Home Shield. Usually, the contractor they send are pretty good. And if I have any questions about that contractor, I will immediately call them back and they will send out a second person. They sent out a plumber once who came and he said that something was not covered. I said that couldn’t be true because that was not what was happening. American Home Shield sent another plumber out, and the other plumber said he didn’t understand why the first plumber said what he did. The problem was a broken diverter valve, and he went on to replace it. I also told American Home Shield to not ever send the first plumber back because he didn’t even bother to check.

    When the air conditioning unit wasn’t working, American Home Shield sent a AC guy. He didn’t even look at it. He took the cover off and said it was dirty and needed to be cleaned, and then he left. American Home Shield called back and said that it was not functioning because it hasn’t been cleaned. I said that it was not true because I had the whole thing cleaned two weeks ago. I have it serviced every year by another firm. I sent American Home Shield a copy of the invoice from the company that cleaned it, and they sent out another air conditioning guy. And the guy said he didn’t understand why the previous guy said it hadn’t been cleaned because the filter and screening out front looked good. He said that it was the capacitor that went bad. And that’s the guy I had been using ever since.

    Advanced Heating & Air Conditioning came out after we spoke to a representative at American Home Shield to file a claim. The interaction with the rep was very good and then those with the contractor were very positive as well. The AC is now better than before because it wasn’t cooling. But what we don’t like is that over these years, a part has been constantly being replaced in our AC. We call when we think it’s something that’s really major to American Home Shield but we know that they don’t pay for the installation of the Freon because our AC is an older unit. And FREON is very expensive. So rather than paying for American Home Shield's contractor to come out, we have to pay somebody to charge because it’s even more than what is charged for the service fee. It’s just frustrating.

    It’s very upsetting that contractors have had to replace the blades under the fan and do something to the compressor when they come out. Then sometimes when we get the FREON people to come out, they have to do a small repair as well. The unit needs to be replaced because it’s not functional. It gets the job done but it’s costing us every year, as far as the American Home Shield warranty, the maintenance of it and the utilities. It uses so much electricity to function. The contractor American Home Shield sent also recognized that it was a very outdated unit.

    We’re finding out that we’re paying out more money. We’re trying to figure out whether we need to just save our money and buy a new air conditioning unit. We’re caught between a rock and a hard place. We’ve been with American Home Shield for over 20 years. We could’ve bought several AC units. We could’ve also replaced those couple of things that we’ve used American Home Shield for. We have to know when to cut our losses here and we’re losing every year. Otherwise, the warranty has been a great service. We highly recommend them to our friends. We tell everyone that they really need the service. We had to have our dishwasher looked at one time. There are some things we keep the warranty for.

    I had a claim and it seemed to have went real smoothly. American Home Shield has a call center in India which is who I initially called. They took my credit card info and I was a little nervous about that ‘cause I don't like giving my credit card info to people overseas. But everybody’s friendly and nice. The guys from Keeton Plumbing came out within four days and got it fixed. They identified the problem quickly. Within an hour, they were back on the site with the parts they needed. I'm real happy with those fellas. They were really efficient.

    They charged $75 which is a deductible. I paid that upfront but when I looked on my bank account, it said "reoccurring payment." I thought that’s kinda weird. Reoccurring means every month, they pull that out. Then, I started thinking if these overseas companies can just take money out at will. But I’m also thinking American Home Shield is a US-based company so maybe not. I’m kinda waiting to see if they will actually do that this month and if this reoccurring payment starts going through, I wouldn't recommend them highly. Other than that, I’m really happy with the service so far.

    My most recent claim with American Home Shield is for my refrigerator. A week before the 26th of August, I called American Home Shield. They called Universal for the man to come out and look at my refrigerator. August of 26, the gentleman came out and looked at my refrigerator. He also put down everything that needed to be done, which was fine. That Monday, the gentleman came out to the house with a small box. Now, he pulled the refrigerator out and put a plate back there.

    Before I called American Home Shield, the second door was working, but the top wasn’t getting as warm as it was supposed to be. When he put the plate back there, he plugged it back up and he said everything was back. And I happen to know everything is not done. I said, “What about the plate here on the front? There are no numbers here on the front of my refrigerator. And it’s still getting warm.” I gave him the receipt where the gentleman put down what was supposed to be ordered and what he was supposed to put in. He said, “Well, nobody ordered all of these parts.” So, I said, “You didn't get all these parts, but you came here to put just the plate back here?” So, he left.

    He came back Friday. He had the parts that was ordered. But in the meanwhile, I was calling American Home Shield. They were telling me, “The parts are in.” Then, when I called back again, “The parts have to be ordered.” It was giving me the runaround. I have been without a refrigerator. I called today. The contractor said that he was going to put in the claim to American Home Shield. I called American Home Shield, the lady was supposed to call me back, and they're supposed to make a settlement to me, and she has never called back. I've been with American Home Shield for a while for them to treat me like this. It has gotten me so upset and so frustrated. I’m very angry with them.

    American Home Shield sent a technician from Optimum Appliance Repair and it was not very good. He came, checked the appliance and said it was just a simple deal and we didn't even need any parts. And then he reported back to the warranty company that all it had is short and this, that, and the other. And we overlooked the fact that it was not a covered item. It was originally in the house, and we moved it to the garage so it got excluded.

    It was a little bit misleading on his part back to the warranty company about what went wrong and more so to us. Because here's the way I would have looked at it, "Hey, look. This is not gonna be a covered item, but here's what you got going on." And maybe try to earn our business in an ethical fashion instead of just saying, "Now, I'm gonna do a quick fix here," which it did. It come back on, but then it continued to do what it was doing already and take the $75 and run.

    I've had four experiences with Home Shield and one has been good. I've got two situations going on right now where we thought it was maybe electrical. I called and canceled that. They have never canceled the transaction. I have challenged that on the credit card, and the credit card company has credited that. But on these two other incidences, we also thought we had a problem with the air conditioning, which we actually did.

    Also the contractor was supposed to contact us within 48 hours. The same with the electrician. He never did. We turned that in on a Friday morning. And he did not contact us until Monday afternoon. He left a message. My wife immediately called him back. He never returned the call, and that's one of them that's in question right now that we're challenging on the charge because they haven't done anything.

    The second one on the air conditioning, those folks never called us. It took two phone calls from my wife and a phone call from me. And then, all of a sudden, they could get them out there. They called me, and it was not realistic for me on that day so I said, "I can't confirm this appointment." Next thing I know, I've got an email that says, "your appointment is confirmed." I called the air conditioning company that they had referred to us, and I said, "I'm canceling this appointment. It was not confirmed. I cannot do that. My plate is too full. And my place of appointment, the next two days were a problem to boot, yet, at this point." Then, they turned right around. It was still a pending transaction.

    We feel like that the warranty is not worth what we got. We lost all trust in what might possibly be happening. I've replaced the air conditioning unit and the heating in my home which should have been covered items, but I didn't trust the contractor or the warranty company to come out and do the proper thing. I'm very disappointed, and I've never had to run into that before. I sold warranties myself for almost 30 years and I had expectations. And then because I do know how they work, that was another one of my fears because of experience with the contractors. You're only as good as what your contractors are.

    When you have three experiences back to back to back to where the end result was basically the same, or the response time, or just the picture that was drawn, we'd lost a lot of faith in it. It's not the owner's fault. They tried to do the right thing in doing that. And from what we've read about Home Shield and even from our Realtor, at that point, basically had been pretty good, but our experience has not been good.

    The pilot light on the hot water tank needed resetting. I called AHS over the weekend to submit the claim and it took two days for the guy to come out. Everything was really great on both the contractor and AHS side. The representative from American Home Shield took the time. I told her that I was not going through the whole thing and then she said that she would get the contractor as soon as she could. When I got in contact with the OnePlus, they came out very courteous and the guy even took our number. He said that he was gonna reset the pilot light and that was it. He also told us to just call them if anything goes wrong. They took the information off the tank so when they come back, they would have all the parts we need. Since the repair, I'm able to take hot showers and I haven’t had any trouble.

    The central air conditioning was not maintaining the temperature. I submitted a service request with AHS and the first tech who came out was Smart Cooling. It was discovered that there was a leak in the system and the system was four pounds down. So, the first resolution offered was that they would fill it with new Freon and do a Stop Leak. 63 days later, which was unfortunately three days outside of the callback period, it started doing the same thing again. So, I contacted AHS and Dale HVAC Heating and Air Conditioning Cooling showed up. They didn’t wanna check for the dye, the leak identifier in the system, and they used a little sniffer device and soapy water trying to find the leak. They didn’t find it, so they filled the system and drove away, which I was rather upset with.

    So, I called back for a second opinion from American Home Shield and they told me that if the diagnosis was the same thing, that no leak was discovered, I'd be charged another service fee. Then, Smart Air Conditioning came back out and they did identify a leak in the internal a-frame coil inside the house. It was resolved properly with no additional fee. They covered the replacement cost of the two new coils and all the 13 pounds of Freon, which was at $65 a pound and rather expensive. So, American Home Shield lived up to their second opinion policy.

    Still, I had to pay the $75 fee for the initial call and another $75 for the second contractor that came out. And both times I had to pay the Freon out-of-pocket on the leakage part. On the first time, I had to pay four pounds of Freon and the next time, I had to pay two pounds. I wound up paying 360 total on Freon, plus the two call out fees. So, 360 + 150 = 510 total for the experience. American Home Shield’s policy on the Freon pricing was a little bit unclear to us, but I understand it. They only pay $10 a pound and the rest of the fee is charged to the homeowner. At the end of the day, I'm happy because the last repair was inside my warranty period. It started in February and there's a 60-day callback rule. And American Home Shield lived up to their contract.

    This is by far the worst warranty company ever when it comes to contacting their corporate office when issues are not being processed correctly. The customer service agents take your information but no one ever call you back to answer your questions or try to resolve your problem. The contractors they use are no good, I had to pay out of pocket over $600.00 in July of 2018 for them to repair my air conditioner and it only worked for two weeks. I called the contractor back who did the work but he did nothing.

    I have been trying to receive a reimbursement on another appliance that they couldn't fix in 2018 and they have not taken care of that issue yet. When I ask for their corporate office phone number the customer service associates say they don't have a number to give me. I'm a senior citizen, my daughter thought it would be good for me to have a home warranty but from my experience I feel it was horrible. It is September 2019 and I'm still dealing with them on the above mentioned issues.

    I have had two home warranties with American Home Shield over the past 8 years. One for my home in Arizona and one for my home in Florida. If I could go back in time, I would have never used AHS for either house. In fact, they are so bad and try to avoid paying anything at all costs, I have had to contact their Office of the CEO several times to get things done. That did help but at great financial and emotional costs to me and my family. The biggest example of where AHS falls down is in Air Conditioning coverage. 90% of the contractors AHS have sent out to my house tell me that AHS will always try to avoid paying for a needed expensive part replacement and that they tell contractors to just 'band aid' the unit.

    The reason why AHS does this is that they only have to pay $10/pound for freon and most of the costs with AC units are for FREON (R22). This burdens the homeowner with the $75 service call and $100's of dollars in customer freon charges. I figure I am out of pocket close $7500 in freon charges for my two properties in the past 8 years. Then to top it off, AHS in August raised the monthly premium on my Florida property from $58 to $99 per month. Now I am forced to switch companies and have no clue which one to turn to b/c every company has horrific customer reviews.

    I didn't want to give a 1 star rating but had to because it was required. We have the premium policy that covers heat and air replacement if it can't be fixed. They sent a company that tried to fix by filling with Freon. American Home Shield only pays $10 a pound for Freon and the bill was $80 a pound. After we paid $770 for Freon, the compressor failed and the unit needed to be replaced. American Home Shield refused to pay because no called to say it needed to be replaced. We argued that there is nothing in the contract that directs us or the service company to call. They were extremely rude to us and to the service company. We have asked for refrigerator repair in the past, only to pay $136 service call fee and we never hear from the service company again. $136 flat fee is almost twice as much as a normal service call. We're cancelling.

    Like any insurance the moment of truth is when it comes to claims. I was a AHS customer for 3 years but my most recent claims experience involving a microwave & washer left me feel cheated. AHS dragged my case for over 2 months with no resolution or decision, their call center is one of the most horrible, disorganized and unethical that I have ever come across. I feel they are ok if you need one odd repairs, but when it comes to anything major they will drag their feet, find contractual loopholes and ultimately make your life miserable.

    I finally had enough of this AHS nonsense, I cancelled my contract and will spread the word about my experience so that others can be careful. I also intended to explore legal course of action. In my opinion the company is a fraud, lacks value with no regards for customer experience as long as you are bound by a contract. It is also not easy and clean to cancel the contract. There is a lot of fine print. Overall extremely bad experience.

    I signed up for AHS earlier this year and finally cancelled my subscription to them today, after a very frustrating experience. My issues with my air conditioner service request are as follows:

    1) They took longer than promised to schedule the service call. Not a huge deal, but not a good start for my first service request.
    2) We knew in advance that Freon isn't covered. Our system needed $300 worth of Freon in addition to the $100 deductible for the call. We decided to put sealant in with the Freon to reduce the chances of it leaking again. The technician charged me $500 for 2 packs of the sealant. This is where the real issues started.
    3) After the tech left, I checked internet pricing for the sealant (he had left the package, so I knew what I was looking for). Going rate per pack is $50 to $60. I understand companies need to make a profit, but marking up your cost 5 times is ridiculous. This is really a side issue, but important.
    4) I submitted my invoice to AHS for claim reimbursement for the $500 sealant charge. I knew I wasn't going to be reimbursed for the Freon - no problem there. But the sealant - even at the exorbitant markup - was still cheaper than replacing the guts of the A/C unit, so I felt like AHS would gladly pay for a lower cost repair.

    5) I contacted AHS 4 times for status of my claim reimbursement. Every time, it was 15 to 20 minutes on the phone, and every time they promised to check on it and get back to me in one business day. Not once did they call me.

    There are a few points to think about here: Economically, it's questionable if paying $58 per month, and then the $100 deductible per tech visit and who knows how much for uncovered items is actually cheaper than paying as you go. But in the end, it was the broken promises from AHS that finished them for me. I can put up with a certain amount of bad news. But when someone doesn't do what they say they will do - 4 times, with at least 3 different people - I decided this isn't a company I want to do business with.

But then it started doing it again. This time, I called American Home Shield and they worked really well because the rep sent the information out and he told me that if it was something outside of what was initially called about, it would be an extra charge. I was cool with that, but it was the same issue. When the contractor came out the second time, they said it was like the compressor blew it out, and it started working.

    I had a water leak so I called AHS to file a claim. T&J Investment was out within a few hours. They have been good. My claim is not complete yet though. I'm still waiting for them to put my floor back together. They are waiting on a plumber's report before they can do that. They also had to wait some time to allow the base floor and everything to dry. Now, I'm simply hoping they come pretty soon. But they let me know when they were coming and they also let me know what they found, what they're planning on doing, and what they've done.

    In the 20 years that I've had AHS, The Appliance Doctor is the best that they've ever sent out. However, I don't like submitting claims online to AHS, I can't choose who the vendor that they send out, that's why I call up and do it. So, AHS needs to give me choices online of who they're sending out, because several of them have 1 and 2-star reviews and I don't want them in my house. Also, AHS denies all the air conditioning stuff and they charge $100 a pound over one pound for Freon and it's always denied. Their first name should be American Home Shield Denied.

    When we bought this house, it came with a really, really old dishwasher and it wasn’t working right. I submitted a claim online and then American Home Shield phoned me. They verified the appointment that we had set on the computer, and asked again what was wrong because you can get more details in person than on the computer. But it was real easy to do online, and they were really nice. Then the tech came in, and fixed it by himself. He said it works fine, and nothing was wrong. And ever since then, it drains correctly.

    The interior of one of the tanks in the toilet was completely worn out and the other one in my wife’s bathroom was rocking, which was uncomfortable for her. I used to do that stuff for a living but I’ve gotten old enough now to where there are a lot of things I can’t do anymore. So, we called our friends and we got good help. The man came in and did his work quietly and respectfully. Within an hour, he has rebuilt my tank and has tightened my wife's toilet down and has put a stem in there. He also cleaned up his mess. Right now, everything is perfect.

    We also filed a claim for the air conditioner. We heard strange sounds and I thought it needed a starter on the compressor or the fan motor was going bad but the contractor said everything was fine. He assured me. He put the gauges on there, checked the Freon, took the ohmmeter and he checked the ohm out on the high and low voltage stuff going to the AC, and all of it was okay. I was standing over when he did it. My wife and I just hadn't been here long enough to actually hear the thing run, because it was right outside her bathroom wall and we were both standing there and heard it for the first time. We just didn't wanna take any chances with 100-degree weather.

    My wife has done claims both online and over the phone to American Home Shield but she said that doing it online was easier. The time that AHS put in for the repair people to come was between 11:00 and 3:00 and the plumber was here at 10 after 11:00. Also, he called before he came. It was the same with the AC guy. He was here on the same day we made the claim. So far, everybody we've had has been very reputable, professional and courteous. So, we're pleased.

    I like American Home Shield's service. I had a callback because I had a few things that went wrong. On the refrigerator, I had an ice maker and a waterline go out. They came quickly to fix that. However, the waterline just went out again. So, I called back today to get that relooked at, and they can’t come out until September 19, so I was a little bit upset about that being so long. But other than that, I think that with the appliance company, they might just be overworked. They're very busy and they can’t do the waterline until the 19th. It was their mistake because we said the waterline and the ice machine are both not working. This company seemed to take a little bit longer to get an appointment. It wasn’t a major priority for them. However, our interaction has been okay. They call back and that’s good.

    When I bought my home, my realtor gave me free American Home Shield for a year. That's wonderful when you’re moving into a house. However, AHS has been horrible. The claim for my refrigerator that was leaking was activated on the 8th of August. Sears, the first service that came out, was horrible. With the young lady that I worked with, I don't think she likes people. They were supposed to come on the 21st, but they canceled 10 minutes before they were supposed to come. They didn’t call me. They just texted me and said, “It’s been canceled.” I had to take off from work. They were not user-friendly. They put the claim for the next day, and when that person came in, he stayed exactly 3 minutes and 12 seconds then he left. He said, “We don’t do refrigerators that don’t have a serial tag on.” I said, “Is that a policy with all the services?” He said, “No. But that’s with Sears.”

    I called American Home Shield and they got Appliance Wizard. Those people were super cool. The owner came out with an apprentice, and they said that American Home Shield is supposed to give me another refrigerator. I tried to reach AHS as I was told to call and have the dimensions. I even sent the rep Ms. Jackie a picture of the refrigerator that I found online. The refrigerator has still not been serviced, but AHS already took the service fee out. What is happening right now is they’re trying to take another one. I keep getting alerts saying that I owe them. I owe no one ‘cause I haven’t been served. Today is now the 6th of September, and the claim is gonna be 30 days in two days.

    I looked into my account, and American Home Shield has this thing where I don’t need to pay anything. And so, I called and told them they needed to correct that. The young lady said it’s gonna take time for them to correct it, but to just keep looking at it. So far, it has not changed and I've gotten nothing. It’s almost time for them to get their monthly fee also. So, they're pretty much on the winning side, and I’m on the screwed side. I’m very dissatisfied. This has been an experience that I don't wanna experience again. If AHS knew the actual on-the-ground persons and how they’re not being represented well, maybe it’ll wake them up.

    Our air conditioner wasn’t working and I submitted the claim with AHS online. They said that a contractor would be out within the next 48 hours. Then the guys from Lane Services called the same day and were here early. They got out pretty fast and they were excellent. If I did it on the weekend, they’d call by Monday. But it was within 24 business hours.

    Initially, they said that the compressor was bad. And then my husband went out there and saw that the guy who put the compressor in before had put in a used compressor instead of a new one. And that was a problem 'cause a remanufactured part was put in my air conditioner. That wasn't the best thing to do. The air worked for a few days and then it went out again. It was difficult because we had to get a window unit and sleep on the sofa in the front room where the window unit was.

    Once the guys came back out and put the new unit in, we haven’t had any issues. American Home Shield put 1,100 on the unit. We’ve been a customer with AHS since 2002. They should be, at least, throwing in half on our air conditioner, instead of just paying 1,100 for it. Also it’s not our fault that someone has came out here and put a remanufactured part in our air conditioner. Other than that, AHS has been okay.

They were confirming that it was the right part that I was trying to diagnose then they helped me through it so it's been awesome. These guys are great.

    When first guy came out, he said he wasn't 100% sure what was wrong but that it was most likely one of two common problems. He didn't have either of the parts in the truck though so he went ahead and ordered both parts to my house. He was really nice and very informative. I watched him and chatted with him. He was very professional and he cleaned up after himself. Then after I got both products, a different guy came out and took everything apart. He figured out which piece it was and installed it. He was also really nice and very courteous. He also took the second part that was ordered to my home and that we didn't use. He said he was gonna inventory it. The range is perfect now.

    Hello, Harihar. Thank you for the feedback. I apologize for the fact that you found your service experience to be an unfavorable one.

    AHS utilizes thousands of vendors across the continental United States. We maintain these vendor relationships because we want to service our customers effectively and efficiently. In most cases, AHS will assign a local service vendor to provide a diagnosis and repair for this very reason. Occasionally, however, we do have to source repairs to a vendor who lives in a different region. This may be because all of the available vendors are booked to their capacity or because we are still working to locate a suitable local vendor in your region.

    We are able to locate your account based upon the information in your profile. I will review the service request and will reach out to you.

    This is by far the worse customer service I have ever received. Please heed my warning. Do not use this company. Multiple charges I didn't authorize only to have to call daily for 2 months to recoup my 300$. Please do not use this company. You will regret it. Upon cancellation they charge you not one but two cancellation fees that I can't get anyone to explain to me why I'm being charged two. They also love to hang up on you if they don't know the answer to the question prompting you to go through another 30 min dialogue explaining the issue. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

    I placed an emergency service request for a hot water pipe leak and needed service as quickly as possible. They had initially sent my request to a company that could not service me until next week so I had to request for another company service and they sent the request to Top Notch Plumbing LLC. They scheduled me for 9/6 between 10 am - 2 pm, but never showed up or called. I contacted AHS several times of which they had suggested I wait another hour and so on. It got to the point that I placed several more calls to AHS who put me on hold for over 60 minutes (yes, over an hour) because by this time I had requested to speak with a manager and they refused to get a manager on the phone. This is completely unacceptable and I will be cancelling my contract with them.

    For the minimal coverage they offer, you're far better off just saving their monthly fee in a separate account. I have finally used their service after a year under their contract, for a leaking pipe. The contract they sent sent us the wrong guy, and only after I paid them $125 service fee did they inform me that they cannot fix it. However, since the contractor tightened a nut (which does not solve my problem) I'm still being charged for the fee. Luckily, their cancellation process was easy and fast. It took less than 3 hours to get them out of my life. I wish I had the $600 I've given them though.

    Buyer beware! This warranty is a scam! The person on the phone is never able to help. They contact with service places that aren’t allowed to tell the home owner the cost of repair. They offered less than 10% of the actual cost of service for their cash in lieu settlement for my AC evaporator coil. The customer service is horrible - they interrupt, they’re rude, don’t have any answers and they don’t call back or email with answers, even when they tell you they willfully. I’ve been hung up on twice, even though I never cursed or was disrespectful, just because I was insisting on answers or assistance. Their purpose is to take your money and provide you with the least expensive solution, even if it doesn’t fix the actual problem. I was told I would have to pay more to have my AC fixed than they would, even with this warranty.

    Did not tell at the time of signing up that there will be a year long contract. CHEATERS!! Only time I needed some service to top up freon and these guys were paying only $10/lbs whereas the contractors charge $60+ per pound. When I got frustrated with the lack of coverage and penny pinching and asked for cancellation, I had to pay for one month fee as cancellation charge. Customer service smugly told me that cancellation fee is mentioned in the contract at so and so page in so and so section. When I asked why that wasn't mentioned clearly/verbally at the time of sign up (like other companies do) then the response was that it's my responsibility to ready the contract carefully.

    I have owned 3 homes in my life, and have stayed in each for around 10 years!! I recently purchased a home warranty from American Home Shield, who should change their name to Philippine Home warranty company!!! I thought that having some peace of mind, as I was growing older would be worth the $50 per month, and $100 per issue deductible. So sorry to say, I literally flushed that money down the toilet. Months of not using them, I had an emergency with my garden hose faucet, that I was replacing, that broke off while removing, and had to shut the water supply to the house.

    Called them at 10 pm, was told it would be 24-48 hrs before someone would come out. I explained to the agent that it was an emergency, as water was shut off, and that we would have no water for 2 days, and we were supposed to leave on vacation in 3 days for 12 days. He told me to get my own plumber, and to submit the bill, for payment. The plumber cost me $265, sent them the bill, never heard back from this crappy company.

    So, when we get back from vacation, I called customer service for reimbursement, got a line of agents based in the Philippines, who barely had a grasp of the English language, who were all given American names, made to act like Americans, and were far from such. I got the run around for hours, on hold forever, talking to supposed supervisors who were no better, after which I just gave up, as supposedly there was no notes to indicate that any agent told me to get my own plumber, to assist me!!! And they won't pay any unauthorized charges??!!

    Months later, in a home that is only 9 years old, and I am the original owner, I had a leak from the water heater, that was coming thru an upstairs restroom wall. Paid the $100 deductible, plumber comes out 2 days later after initiating a service call, was told that the warranty company will not pay for this issue, as the heater itself was fine for now, and even though it was leaking, had to do with pipes, that were not covered by the crappy company, due to language in the literature, that ANY modifications done, any time a pipe has to be changed, or brought up to state or city code, and they change any part of the pipe to something else, it is now modified, and will thus be denied!!!!

    The job cost me $345, plus the water damage and mold from the leak which will cost me thousands to complete, will not be paid, as they DO NOT cover SECONDARY DAMAGE. I cancelled the crappy service contract, and will probably, keep to my routine to move every 10 years, into a brand new home, and never have to use a Home warranty company, called American, with agents based in non English speaking lands, ever again!!!! Do not use this company, unless your money is WORTH FLUSHING DOWN THE TOILET!!!

    On August 27, 2019, I placed a service request with AHS because both of our air conditioning units on the roof had gone out. They are at least 24 years old and had come to the end of their days. The contractor AHS dispatched said both machines had been so badly serviced from a prior calls that he deemed them too dangerous to open the side panels and look inside. He filed his report and AHS "denied it." What does that mean, what happens next? The company said I would have to call AHS to find out what happens next. I called the 800 number and got a call center in the Philippines. English was the gentleman's second language; he spent an hour alternately trying to understand my issue and putting me on hold. Then the call got disconnected.

    I called back. No, I could not be connected with the person I had spoken with, I was to start all over with another man for whom English is a second language. It was an endless loop, a way to deny the customer any favorable resolution. Yesterday was Day 9 without AC so I called a very reliable company in town and paid them to install two new units on the roof. I had no other choice. It is 110 outside in Phoenix, AZ and it's close to that in the house. People die in this kind of heat. We are shopping for a new home warranty company. Our experience with the AHS process is that it is structured to fail the customer.

Then the part came and we had a person came out. When he tried to close the refrigerator, the door would not close. They tried to find the door for it, but they saw that the refrigerator needed to be replaced.

The contractor was fantastic with their professionalism and the way they kind of talked you through it. They literally was showing me what was wrong.

    We’ve been with American Home Shield since ’09. The only thing I don’t like is how we have to go through a whole process.
