    I cannot get the service provided on my A/C. My wife is ill and cannot survive without air conditioning. I am due a replacement unit and cannot get anyone to call me and I am put on hold continually for over an hour without assistance. I have never dealt with such an incompetent company in my life.

    They do not take care of their people and are slow to get the work done, two months to fix my icebox, two weeks now just to get my air fix in the 90s and they still have not help when called, this is the best way to go. Put the money in an account yourself and call a better company to come out to fix it and you can save money and have it done right away#.

    Updated on 12/27/2019: In mid August my cooktop went bad. I had posted a review in Sept about same cooktop since nothing seemed to be happening. After my review in sept I got a response from AHS on this site saying they have emailed me for a follow up. I haven't found that email in my inbox from them and nobody tried to call me either from AHS. They have my contact info also.

    It's Dec 27th, more than 4 months and cooktop still not fixed. During this time, they sent 3 wrong people - one never worked on Miele appliances so didn't know what to do, second said he didn't know why they sent him since he didn't work on induction cooktop. I found 3rd one online and they were part of AHS vendor list so he finally diagnosed it. They replaced 2 parts and realized 3rd part was missed. That was early Oct. Since then AHS keep closing my case with different excuses - part on backorder accidentally closed, oops forgot to order, how about take cashout of $350 since they had already spent money on 2 parts (original cost of cooktop $3200). I told them I am not taking $350 cashout so please fix it. I was told that's fine, parts are ordered.

    Three weeks later, I called and was told, since they offered cashout which I refused and told them explicitly to fix it, they again didn't place any order for that part and now ETA is TBD. I was told clearly part is ordered and should be arriving after Christmas. I have been without cooktop thru holidays also... Well on positive side, less cooking for me. I should have just gotten a new cooktop. Every time I ask them to connect me to parts dept and they don't. Every time I am told they will call back with status and nobody calls back. I think as long as you have std appliances and go thru process you are ok with them. If you have high end appliances, I would definitely not recommend them.

    Original Review: I changed my warranty company to AHS 2.5 months ago. My first service request filed on Aug 19th for a cooktop has had no work done on it. First call was quick, they sent Beyer Appliance guy who said he didn't know how to open my Miele cooktop, saying it has screws and since it's in the counter no idea how to access. I called Miele tech support and was told it's a drop in cooktop, no screws.

    Since then I have called AHS every couple of days to send someone in, they keep telling me someone will call within 48hrs. It's been 3 weeks now. Also looks like now when I call from my home number, they put me on hold for 30 mins and then I disconnect. When I call from a different number, someone picks up right away as if they have blocked off my number. I am amazed at the lack of customer service. I have talked to 10 different people and every is "so sorry" but nothing happens.

    When I signed up I asked them multiple times if they service high end appliances and they were like "oh yeah" why do you even ask. We are the best. So fed up now, I would like to just cancel and get my money back. Oh yeah, they charged $100 visit fee right away. :). Also BTW, I called the appliance company directly, the guy who came to my house, never even put in any details about my cooktop or said he couldn't open it, etc. So my request is kind of lost there also. I called them 3-4 times but still nothing. If I could, I would be "Zero" rating but system doesn't have that option.

    You pay for service...they send inadequate service repair companies that lie and misdiagnose repair and try to blame the customer. This way the customer is responsible for repair. If you’re it smart enough to dispute the claim you’re stuck for the service call and new appliance! Thankfully I refused to allow that to happen so they did send someone else who indicated he did over 500 disputed claims for AHS! Really!? Once it was determined that we needed a replacement we couldn’t get through to AHS. And replacement or reimbursement was also a disappointment. Canceled my contract!

    I had American Home Shield nine years ago, and I bought a house in April and I also got them. And I'm much more satisfied this time around with them. I've done a combination of submitting a claim over the phone and online, and I'm very satisfied with each. When the dryer wasn't drying, the tech fixed it right away. He was here and gone within half an hour. It was very brief.

    When my dishwasher broke, I made a claim with American Home Shield and followed protocol. I followed the online inquiry with them then I got a repair person to come. The repair guy said that the dishwasher couldn't be fixed. He contacted American Home Shield but they were not so fast in calling me back to resolve this and to let me know what the decision was. There was a mixture of phone calls and online submission of paperwork. The problem was I really had to stay on it with American Home Shield and had to nudge them to move on this. I had to be my own consumer advocate. It wasn't the end of the world though.

    American Home Shield gave me certain types of dishwashers but I did not find them comparable to what we had. The other option was they gave me a cashout which was fine. I accepted the money instead. But I had to pay double the amount for a new dishwasher. The machine's great though and I love it. My experience turned out well but compared to the friend, who I learned about American Home Shield from, their experience was good then it wasn't so good. American Home Shield doesn't make a decision if the appliance can be repaired or not. Fortunately our dishwasher was old and fortunately, they were able to resolve it favorably for us to get a new one.

    The air conditioner was leaking and not working, and I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield. The website was very simple to use and after the hurricane went through, the contractor was very quick to get out here. They’re here today to do the work and the technician said he should be done in two or three hours, and I think he'll be able to accomplish it. They have been great. However, American Home Shield doesn’t understand customer service. If I am their customer and BestWay is their vendor, I don’t understand why it's my obligation to keep calling them, asking them about the status and being told that I should directly call BestWay. I figure, as a customer service-oriented business as American Home Shield is, they ought to be the one that’s being proactive instead of sitting back there and cashing my check and closing the claim and everything else when the work hasn’t even started yet.

    I had a plumbing issue with my dishwasher and American Home Shield sent out a contractor after I filed a claim online. One guy came out and worked on the issue. He told me that it seems to be working, but he put on the thing that the garbage disposal would not clear, and that was why it couldn’t finish doing what it needed to do.

    For a couple of years that I've been with American Home Shield, it impresses me that anytime that I have a problem, whether I call them or go on the internet and put in a service call, they respond right away. In fact, sometimes, they will give you a choice of which vendor you want to go with. However, I don’t I like paying almost $59 a month, and then when there’s a service call, I have to pay $75. What kept us around with home warranty is the fear that things are gonna break and we are gonna have to spend our life-savings on it. But because of the pricing, I may decide not to stay with AHS and completely eliminate the home warranty service.

    Our air conditioner was leaking recently and it turned out not to be working altogether. The motor outside was done. I put in a service request with American Home Shield and they sent Walker Air Conditioning. They came out twice. The first time, the contractor checked everything. The unit was on the fritz so they couldn't identify wholeheartedly what was going on with it. They told me to let them know if something happens in the future.

    Then the second time, we called and that was when the motor had completely gone out. The service guy came the very next day to check it out and then he ordered parts. He didn't have to wait for an approval for the part because of the fact that he immediately identified what the problem was. He said, "I'll talk to you all by 12 o'clock tomorrow," which was gonna be Labor Day and sure enough, he surpassed our expectations and came with the item to fix the problem. He resides here in Laredo and it was about 110 when this was going on. He knew it wouldn't be appropriate to not help out as much. So, that was great and we didn't have any issues since. I'm hoping that it stays that way since it's a new machine and not just a repair. Also, we frequently put in requests online with American Home Shield and the process is easy.

The only thing, which I didn't expect, is Silver Star Appliance had a part, but it was the wrong part number. So it was just another day, which was not a big deal. I wasn't expecting them having a part on hand that day. Also, with the online submission of the claim, there was not an option to put what the model was for the device. There was no model placement where I could put the model number in. So, having that as an option would be good. Other than that, there were no issues and they fixed the problem first time out.

    When my washer wasn’t draining out, I phoned American Home Shield and they sent out a contractor to service it. They did okay, but the washer wouldn't come back on and I couldn't use it, so I had to call them back because they messed up some wiring. They came back out the next day and took about an hour to fix the problem.

    Our AC went out. The first time I called the first company, I made the appointment and they came in. Then they said that the issue was fixed. When the guy went outside to get the invoice, my daughter noticed that there was still smell like fire. The guy checked and said that maybe it needed another part. They ordered the part and it took about two weeks. I called the lady there and they came in again. That was a Friday and the problem was supposed to be fixed. Then it smelled like fire again on Saturday. I called the company on Monday and I told the lady that I still have the problem. I asked if she could send somebody and she said that they have an appointment after two weeks. I said that I have a baby at home and their guys already came in three times, and they didn’t fix it. I asked her to check if there have any cancellation and she said there was nothing and that she would give me the next appointment that’s for next week. She was very rude.

    I called American Home Shield and they sent me another person. The guy was so nice and wonderful. He knew right away what the problem was and he had the parts so he changed it. He also said that I need to change the filters and he could do that for me so he did it. Everything is working very good. Overall, I like AHS and I’m very happy with them.

    I've been American Home Shield since I bought my place in June. I had them before for five years when I owned a home in New York. They have the best reputation. Back then, it there wasn't a whole lot of choices available like there is now. Also, I didn't really have to use American Home Shield that often. When my sink was leaking really badly that I had to put a bucket underneath the cabinet, I called American Home Shield. The claim process was simple and easy. Their rep explained the process.

    I thought the problem was the P-trap but when the technicians came, they diagnosed the correct thing because I'm not a plumber. In an hour, everything was done. It was great. They cleaned up and they even said to me that they had this other kind of faucet that has a higher spout thing. I agreed to it and they did what they had to do. Also, I was sick but they didn't mind that I was acting like I was half dead on the couch. They didn't even mind that my cat wanted to help them.

    I had a few issues with my electricity when I moved in. My outlets were loose and I was told that there were frayed wires in our electrical box. I had the technician kinda take a look at that, but he said that there was no issue with them. When he turned on our light switch, our light didn't come on all the time. I thought it was an issue with the actual switch and he said that we just need to change the bulb. He tested the other things that the inspector reported as wrong, but nothing was wrong. But he ended up repairing a few outlets and clipping a lot of the cords that were in the wall. A lot of cords popped out of the wall from our previous owner and we were afraid to clip them because we didn't wanna set our house on fire. We haven’t swapped the light bulb yet but all the outlets are good and I’m happy that the cords are gone. That really went well.

    The technician was very professional and very courteous but the India call center is very difficult. The wait time was okay but there is language barrier. Also, when we moved in with American Home Shield, we were promised that we could use it right away to get our locks rekeyed. However, it wasn’t set up and ready to go so we paid for that out of our pocket. That’s not a benefit and that was plugged as one. When I called the India call center, they said they could do a one-time waive for it, and it never went through. That was really disappointing.

    I made a request for service on my wall unit because the the unit kept cutting out for days and would come on for days. I called American Home Shield and they sent a contractor by the name of MYERS COMFORT. I have requested numerous times not to send these people to my home for any work orders. They sent them anyway and told me if I wanted someone else I would have to find them myself, Long story short. They replace my furnace and now the air is not coming form the vents at all.

    American Home Shield claims to have over 14,000 contractors. What is so hard about sending someone other the MYERS COMFORT is beyond me. I have been having issues with this contractor for as long as I have contacted American Home Shield for service and nothing positive have come from it. I have decided to contact my lawyer file a claim against American Home shield and MYERS COMFORT. They are ripping people off and AHS know exactly what is happening but is failing to remove them as contractors. I have had to contact that contractor over 5 times just to get them to do their job correctly. When this is all settled in court I am no longer using AHS and I will make sure everyone else in Montgomery, Alabama does the same.

    SoCal Appliances came out for the ice maker. It had become detached.

I called American Home Shield to put in the claim. The contractor was professional. He came within his window. The icemaker has been fine ever since.

    American Home Shield has generally been pretty good. We've had them out on a few other calls since we've had them. We had another company before them that went out of business. And so, we got them, and their service call is higher, but that's what the market is, so we have to pay it, and it's generally less expensive than if I had to pay for repairs myself.

    Some condenser in my air conditioning unit was not operating. I prefer calling AHS to file a claim and the reps I've spoken with have all been very good. But this time, I had gone online. There were two different contractors that came in. The last one was good, the one before that wasn't. He said my AC was low in Freon and that he had to put Freon in. I told him that we should find where the leak is but he said that it was gonna be okay. And it wasn't. When I called the second time, I asked AHS to please not send that person back again. And the second guy found the leak right away. It was a Schrader valve that was old. It was not sealing up properly.

    I've been with AHS for four years total. They have always treated me very well, even when we moved from Orlando. We had them in Orlando, we moved over to Holiday.

    I moved to my home February of 2018, and that’s when I initiated signing up with AHS. So far, I've been with them for a year and nine months now. I submitted an AC claim to American Home Shield. I called their contractor on a Monday and they offered to come out on a Wednesday, but I wasn’t available. So, that was on me. And they came out in three days. My air conditioner definitely has a leak or multiple leaks on the condenser so there was no Freon in the system at all. I don’t know if that wasn’t caught before considering that in my last service call, they had put in Freon.

    They said that we needed a new condenser. Unfortunately, it was a Thursday when they came out to look at it and diagnosed the problem. The contractor had 24-48 business hours to submit that claim to AHS. That was Labor Day weekend so they didn’t send that information to AHS on Thursday or Friday, and they were closed on Saturdays and Sundays. They tried to get a hold of them but couldn’t. Monday was a holiday too, so the following Tuesday, they submitted the information to AHS and had to get the part in. But AHS came back sooner than expected, so within two weeks of when I submitted the claim, everything was taken care of. And for some reason, they just gave me a brand new unit, which is great, so I now have a new air conditioner unit.

But if I had to tell my mom to go up there and do it, there is no way because there were certain things that were covered, but they weren’t there. The bathtub faucet wasn’t up there as well as the physical faucet or the spout. It just said, “Faucets Total.” So, you couldn’t really specify.

    The contractor got there and he said that they didn’t say anything about a bathtub and I told him that it was a faucet but there were two different faucet problems. He still took care of it and fixed it as soon as he could. The guy was really nice, friendly and everything was prompt. He had to leave to get a part but he updated me of what was going on. I didn’t have to call anybody. I’ve been through a couple of different companies and American Home Shield is one of the only companies that I’ve been through that took care of everything.

    Submitting claims with AHS is kinda ridiculous. I usually do it through a phone call and sometimes that works, but sometimes there’s a language issue on the other end of the home warranty people. And I really struggle to understand the accent that their customer service has. It’s not a clear English for my ears and to me, customer service has got to be a clear communication. But with them, it’s not. And that happened for several phone calls. So, I decided to do it online and that put you out into an abyss. Other than that, their contractors were good. But when I was looking for somebody to do a repair, I had never heard of the ones that were offered up to me by the home warranty group. They must be small businesses that are trying to build up a client base and that was interesting.

    Recently, the young man from Sharper Service Solutions came out for the repair of my oven and he knew what he was doing. He explained himself fully, was eager to please as a customer service representative, and was able to take the technical and convert it into layman’s understanding for me, the customer. In the end, he fixed it and my oven is working great now, so I have no problems with Sharper Service Solutions. My problem is with AHS and I won't be renewing with them. The warranty costs $450 for a year, plus I pay $75 for the service call. So, they're expensive and they have poor and confusing customer service.

    My wife and I have multiple properties. We have American Home Shield and we’ve had it for for close to 20 years now. I’ve had them longer on one of my rental houses which I’ve owned for 40 years. We pay their premiums mostly. But every once in a while, they pay for something. As far as the technicians that arrived, they were all professional and knew their thing. I usually call AHS and their reps would take my inquiry. The reps that I’ve spoken with so far have been fine. They would assign the claim to somebody, the contractor would contact me and then, somebody would come out and then they'd get an approval from AHS.

    There was a time when I thought of changing all my policies to another company. Calling on their 800-number and waiting, and waiting, and waiting drove me crazy. I realized so many people are doing everything online but that’s just not me. I’m on the phone all day long and I like talking to people, getting their name and making notes, and have a way of circling back if something good or not so good happens. But they’ve already improved on their wait time which made a big difference. The last four or five times that I’ve called, I hardly had any wait. So, the wait time on the phone have since gone down tremendously and that makes me happy now.

    Overall, I can give AHS high marks on their service. I just wish they could figure out my intermittent problem with my air-conditioning unit at my house. It stops pumping cold air and then it starts heating up. It happens on days when we’ve had 110 plus degree weather. So it’s really, really not fun. But every time their contractor would come out, it’s working normally. They sent out the original company, and then they came out two more times. And then, just yesterday, they assigned it to another company, and they came out and looked at it, and it didn’t replicate the problem. If something isn’t broken, they can’t figure out what’s causing it to have a problem intermittently. But I give AHS credit for sending somebody out for four times. I’m happy with how they handled everything.

    My air conditioner was making a crazy high-pitched squeal sound, and it wasn’t cooling. I called American Home Shield, but I was on hold for awhile so I hung up. Then I remembered I could do it online, and so I did and it gave me this cool thing where you could select somebody. I chose Service One Air ‘cause they had better ratings than the options I saw, and they were out the next day. In fact, they called me back in no time at all. They were out the next afternoon, the tech replaced the fan motor and the capacitor, put everything back together and then he was done. He was really nice. My dog was crazy loud, but he was real calm and easygoing.

    My furnace and air conditioning didn't work. I called American Home Shield and the first person they wanted to call was in Charlotte, which is about three hours from us. I told them that wouldn’t work because they wouldn’t come here anyway, so they need to find somebody closer. So they did. It was pretty simple. The contractor was very good. We live in a gated community and it’s very difficult to find the houses. But he did a very good job of finding us. He came when he said he was going to. He did his business, and he left. Everything you can ask for from a contractor. They were on-time and they did what they had to do. They were very professional. We were very satisfied. They did a really good job. American Home Shield has been very helpful. They've done what they needed to do, and that’s all we can ask. If I were calling, I would get it done quicker.

    My refrigerator stopped getting cold on a Friday night, and I called American Home Shield's service line. They gave me the number of the appliance guys and said that they would contact me the next day. The contractor did contact me the next day before 9:00 AM, and that was Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend, but they said they couldn’t get to me until Tuesday. I was kinda upset about that because if it was any other appliance, that would be fine, but you kinda have to go immediately if it's the fridge. So, I told them I was unhappy, but it is what it is. And I hung up. Ten minutes later, he called me back and said he was gonna fit me in that day. And they came around noon the same day, and he fixed it. They were great.

    I spoke to the same woman a few times when I called American Home Shield. It was a little bit hard to understand her. And when I asked her a question, I kinda feel like she was reading off a script to give me any answer. She never gave me a direct answer to the question I asked, and I ended up getting very frustrated. This was the only time I've ever made a claim. But I had called American Home Shield once before for a question, and it never seemed to get resolved.

    Some of the outlets in the master bathroom, hallway bathroom, and then a couple in the hallway weren’t working. We would have to switch the power off downstairs and turn it back on in the electrical box. If we switch it off and turn it back on, it would work for a couple of times. But if we use it more than once, it would just keep switching off. The breaker kept throwing. Someone came out the first time and replaced something. It worked while they were here, but when we tried to use it that night into the next morning, the breaker popped again so they came back out.

    They found out that there's a little test button under the electrical outlet that can be pushed to get it to reset. It has one of those in the bathroom. It also has the same option down in the breaker box. The second guy that came out said it seemed like both were trying to counteract each other, like trying to test it. He replaced that entire test portion and it fixed it.

    For the most part, all of the American Home Shield contractors have been really good. The only one that stood out to me was another company that came out to look at our AC heating unit. They found that there was something wrong with the compressor and while the guy was here, I asked if there was anything that we could’ve done on our end and if there was any type of issue that we caused that could’ve caused the compressor to go out. He reassured us that there was nothing, it was just an older system and stuff like that happens.

    When the claims department reviewed the report, they called us back and told us that the technician said it was because we had two air filters in our system. I said that we’ve never had that. We talked with the technician before he left and asked him specifically but he wrote it up as if we caused the problem, which was really disturbing. Why will they write something up saying that it was our fault, which it wasn’t our fault? It doesn’t even make sense to me. We’re taking responsibility for something that we did but if the tech specifically said that there was nothing, that’s totally different from, “Oh yeah, you did something.” That’s crazy.

    Another thing is that when I put in a claim and then I don’t need the services after all. I called in and told AHS that I won't be needing the services, and asked them to make sure that the fee is not taken out. I was reassured that it won't be since I canceled the service but they still took it out. I had to end up calling a little bit after that and we had to wait through them reprocessing. It happened twice.

    I have had a horrible experience with this company. I purchased this warranty when I purchased my new home. I initially submitted a service request on 9/4th after making 3 months of premium payments. The request was for a plumbing issue. I called to check on the service request. My request was cancelled. They could not find a plumber in the Syracuse NY area. Their remedy is for me to find my own plumber, pay for it & they will reimburse. But the the purpose of a home warranty is to ensure that you're not stuck with high out of pocket expenses.

    I was not notified that my request was cancelled. They did not find a contractor in 24 hours. My leak is not fixed. They placed me on hold for over 30 minutes. They hung up on me. They charged my account for a service fee after saying it was free. No supervisors or management is there that will resolve issues. Very disappointed in the service and lack of ethics.

We called American Home Shield over the phone and the contractor came the following day. I walked outside with him. He told me what the problem was right away. It was a wire that leads to the unit outside. When a weed wrapped around the unit, they caught the wire, or it was old and it shorted itself together but it was what it was causing it to run. He replaced the wire and fixed it in a matter of half an hour, and it has been fine ever since. Everything was good with my experience.

    I've been with AHS for over a year and I always talk to a representative when I have a claim where I can get a name and a number for the person. And if I have additional questions, they can answer it right then and there. I don't like it when I have to ask the computer a question and it'll be after four days before somebody calls me if they ever call back. When it comes to that, I don't do computers. Whenever I speak with the reps at AHS, they are very polite and very attentive. They'll do whatever they can to get to the repair people and once that part is all clear, then it's up to the repair people. From there, they will send out somebody within two or three days.

    Sometimes if they have an earlier schedule, they will put you there as early as possible. But it can go as long as four or five days to get somebody out. It all depends how busy that company is. Then they come and look at it, then they have to order parts and that takes a little while. So, it's a process. AHS needs to do something when it's hard for them to have parts because they're dealing with a massive amount of people with various serial and model numbers for different stuff. But overall, they're doing what the average people do and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

    When my washing machine broke down again about two months now, they sent out people to look at it. But they came back and it couldn't be fixed. The motor is no longer in stock and the company doesn't make that model machine anymore. They didn't hesitate and gave me a choice to go and get a brand-new machine of my choice. If it'd be something more elaborate than they covered, then I would have to pay the difference. But I managed to find something that was in their coverage price and it was really a beautiful machine when it came. I was very pleased with it.

    Recently, my refrigerator has an issue. Everything in my freezer just freeze up with lots of frost, so three times a day, I have to go in and clean out the frost because hot air is coming in the freezer. I have to keep less food in there, so nothing gets spoiled. I put all the things in there that I'm gonna use that day or the day after, but nothing longer because the gaskets around the fridge door are broken. The gasket is supposed to seal the hot air from coming into the fridge and since the gasket is not there, it's sucking in all the hot air from the outside and causing the fridge to spoil. I've thrown away a lot of stuff already. It's very inconvenient and very frustrating.

    I submitted a claim with AHS and they sent out a tech from Rocket Repair but they didn't fix anything. The part that they brought was the wrong one. All the parts for the refrigerator that they purchased was for a different model, not for mine, so nothing fits. They had to take the part back and until now, I'm still waiting. This claim has been open going into about eight weeks now.

Now, getting the air conditioner fixed took way longer than I would've liked, especially these were the hottest days of the year. The issue was getting the authorization approved on what needed to be fixed through Douglas Mechanical. That process was a little lengthy for our air conditioner. Douglas told American Home Shield what the issue was and what the fix needed to be. So, I was kinda in limbo. I couldn't get the repairs done without having it approved because I couldn't pay for it out of my pocket.

    Once we figured out what was needed to replace, I had somebody that was able to do it a day after that. Once the repairs were approved, then I was able to get it done immediately. Douglas Mechanical was professional. I ended up not going with them because they could not schedule me sooner. But when they came out to assess the damage and give me an update on what was going on, that was all fine and professional.

    The contractor that American Home Shield sent out was serviceable. I talked to the tech about what I thought the issue was, and he thought it was just the hair clogging things up. But I said we had hard water. We had a fine conversation, and he fixed the problem. It works fine, so it's all good. It was super easy to submit my claim online, but I wish there were more subcategories to kinda explain what the situation is.

    American Home Shield's claims process was straightforward. The AC was running all the time so I filed a claim online and the service company called me back. They were a little backed up and they said, “It’s gonna take us three days to get out there.” I said it was okay since it wasn’t like we had no air-conditioning. The guy came out and said, “Looks like it needs a Freon refill. You had to pay for the Freon because that’s not covered.” The stuff was 70 bucks a gallon. 10 bucks was all that American Home Shield paid per gallon so I paid $60 a gallon. The AC seems to be doing better now. The contractor that came was very knowledgeable and very efficient. I’d definitely have those guys back.

    This is my first year with American Home Shield and I’ve called them twice in the last few months. One of them was for the cutout valve for the washer and the other was for the line that goes to the ice maker, the pressure for the water to come out when you push the button wasn’t coming out that fast. They resolved those issues. The technicians took care of everything that I needed done. But I had an issue when my hot water heater was leaking and the guy came out.

    On the other side of the water heater, the valve had corroded and was stuck. So, while the guy was here looking at the hot water heater part that was leaking, I asked if he could also replace that valve. He told me that it wasn’t covered. I contacted AHS about it and it almost seemed like they said that the technicians would know what is and what isn’t covered. I even contacted the company and asked them why this wouldn’t be covered because to me, it was a normal wear and tear. It froze up because the water should always be going in there. Also from my understanding, plumbing is supposed to be covered. I was told that plumbing on the outside of the house is not covered. But inside, I assumed they would be covered and for whatever reason, they didn’t cover it. I ended up paying my deductible for American Home Shield and then I ended up paying the plumbing company a separate fee to fix it while he was here.

    The most recent claim was with the refrigerator, the washer and the dryer, and we did it all in one claim because they’re the same brand. They’re GE appliances. The washer and the dryer were functioning but the contractor had to reset the error codes. That’s the disadvantage of having everything computer-operated. Their codes have to be reset so they’ll function properly. The refrigerator, on the other hand, broke because the blower motor went out and my family has been without a refrigerator for three weeks now. The contractor is going to fix the refrigerator though. They’re coming back on a warranty re-call but American Home Shield is taking care of it. The contractor doesn't get direction unless American Home Shield gives them authorization to work on stuff. I guess they're a good contractor. They’re just doing their job. So far, everything has been great with the AHS claim representatives as well. I usually call the claims in.

    We had a clogged drain line in the kitchen sink, so we submitted a claim to American Home Shield. The reps over the phone took care of what I needed. The contractor had to come out over two days' time because on his first visit, it took a little less than an hour until he realized that he didn't bring out the equipment that would have done the job. So, he came out the next day, brought out the other equipment and finished the job in two hours. He had to snake the line pretty far, and it seems to have fixed it. I would highly recommend AHS.

    I submit claims to American Home Shield online and it indicates that someone will call you the next day. Normally, the provider calls and sometimes, they even call prior to the next day. They call within a couple of hours of submitting the claim and typically, it’s the next day if it’s not a holiday or a weekend. We’ve been happy and satisfied with everybody except for one. We had an issue with the electrical on our pool and the contractor came out and said that the issue was underground and he couldn’t do it. We needed to get a certified electrician to come out and that was not covered by American Home Shield. We had a certified electrician come out and it was not an underground issue. So, I ended up having to pay for the repair twice.

    We've been paying on an AHS home warranty for eight years. We've had to use it twice. The first was a broken water heater. They did repair that, but that was several years ago. I've had the same flooding problem twice in two months. The first time, I called AHS, and they got a contractor out the following day. He said he repaired the problem, but the same flooding occurred again this month. We have damage to drywall in the back of the house and our garage, as well as ruined wood in the garage. After calling them for the second flood, they assigned the same plumber to come again and fix the problem. The plumber was over-booked and couldn't come for two days, so I had to hire my own plumber. I paid $500 to fix the problem out of my own pocket.

    After my own plumber came out, the assigned contractor called me to see if the problem had been fixed or they needed to leave me on the schedule. The contractor informed me that AHS has strict guidelines with how repairs may be made by the contractors. They must gain approval from the from the warranty company before making any repairs, and if there's even a minor discrepancy in the wording about the problem from the initial call to contractor resolution, they will refuse to pay the contractor for their work. They allow the contractor only to do the bare minimum to put a bandaid on the problem instead of fixing issues the proper way.

    This company is, for lack of a better word, a scam and should be investigated by the BBB based on the information I got from one of their service providers. I canceled my contract with them and advise everyone else to do the same. There are far better warranty companies out there that stand by their contract and make repairs in a timely fashion and the right way. AHS is NOT one of them.

    We made a claim on a Monday morning. No Technicians were available in Oklahoma City until Thursday which is nonsense. Oklahoma has incredible temperature extremes, so air conditioning contractors are plentiful here. We spoke with a representative of the warranty company that went on to tell my wife that the high was 75 for the day and they could not get a technician out to us. This is Oklahoma in September were the heat index still gets into 100 degree range.

    Warranty Representatives were not local and left my wife on the phone for over an hour. They continued to argue until we gave up and waited for the Technician to come out 3 days later. Technician came out, informed us that it was our compressor and we would have to wait 5 to 10 days for American Home Shield to ship the parts and the contractor to put them in. Speaking with American Home Shield they were unsympathetic with the the fact that our house hits 90 degrees each day. They refused to expedite shipping on parts or reimburse me for the window unit that I personally had to buy and install into my house to ensure my two dogs were not hurt due to the extreme heat of the house.

My ac was not working instead of calling me back when I was told I would receive a return call from the Escalation dept in 24-48 hrs. On 8/12 & 8/13 I asked to have my own person to come in because the unit keeps leaking water on the floors in the laundry room, bathroom and now 15 ft into the living room and having mold growing up the wall. I was told the same line over and over. The tenant has children and that the floor was damaged and there was mold that had to be cleaned up (even though I know that's responsibility). I dont want to keep having the cost. AHS NEVER offered to allow me to get my own contractor, never offered to get Sears or a local reputable company in the area and never had a supervisor call me back. To this day NO ONE called back.

    I called again today. Finally another guy said I can fax in a request for reimbursement. This is totally and undeniably a real problem that warrants attention from UPPER Management. I ONLY SEE FAVORABLE REVIEWS. I know there's been complaints! My ELDERLY parents were duped out off $3000 from a contractor through AHS. The fire dept had to come out to their house and put out a fire from their new unit installed by AHS contractors. When we called AHS to tell what the fire Dept and the county office reported they could care less. My parents had to ask the contractor for a receipt. They noticed the contractor charged them for 3 $300 permits ($900 total) when he only paid for 2 and only needed 2 for the job. He charged them $600 for a electrician.

    When the work was complete my parents asked who was the electrician that he had to come out to do the work he said he was. Then the fire started and was directly from the installation of the a/c unit. In my opinion AHS would have been responsible for any deaths of family members in that house along with that contractor. In 1 week I'm going to report this to the Attorney General if no one follows up on this issue. I'm also going on every website (Yelp, Google, etc) that I can find to leave a review detailing our experience.

    I requested the service online. Since there is no option to explain exactly what I need which is multiple outlets that are not working, I chose "no electricity in area of the home". When the technician arrived he look at all the outlets that needs to be fixed. There was one GFCI outlet that needed to be reset. That took care of the bathroom outlets, but other areas he checked did not work. After he called the company they told him not to do anything else because there was request for one service. Does that mean I need to request special service request for each single electrical outlet!!

I don't see why it is necessary for us to pay AHS more money in order to cancel a contract, when you're already keeping the money that we've paid! Our monthly fees are not going towards fixing our home, nor will the total amount be refunded to us, so why must I pay more?

They cancelled the online order and the person on the phone set it up as an emergency. The contractor checked it and he said that if it was backed up at all location in the house, it was backed up in the main line. So, he came out and cleaned it out. It has been good since he did. He was pretty professional. He came in and got the job done really quick.

    When we bought the house, a contract with American Home Shield came with it and we’ve kept it ever since. They’ve been with us all that time and we’ve always been happy. Our air conditioning went out recently and Ruiz Air Conditioning and Heating came out to service it. I called them on a Friday evening, so I figured they probably wouldn’t be here ’til Monday. It said on the report that I would hear from them in 24 hours but I didn’t. So, I called American Home Shield and they called the tech for me on Sunday, and he said he would be here Monday morning, and he was. He's been here a couple of times and he’s a very nice man. I have already recommended AHS to friends and my son-in-law.

    Our clothes washer doesn’t fill all the way and my wife said the knob that you turn to get it to the right level was stuck. I filed a claim to American Home Shield online and our interaction with the contractor that came out was good. However, he said that the washer was not going to fill any fuller than it filled and my wife said that it should go up higher. Of the three months that we've been with American Home Shield, this is the only claim we’ve had with them. And my wife was a bit unhappy that the guy couldn’t find the problem but that was not American Home Shield’s fault.

    I had a refrigerator repaired about two weeks ago, and the same problem came back up. So I just called American Home Shield to reschedule with the same company, which is Vector Appliances. The reps knew exactly who it was and got it all done. The contractor came right on time and got everything done. I'm overall happy with AHS. But sometimes it's a little bit too corporate. About five weeks ago, I called in, and the company they gave me didn't even exist anymore. And then, that turned into my problem because they weren't showing up. So then, I couldn't get AHS to send another company out. They said, "We can't send you one out until that company contacts you because it's assigned with them." So we waited for three weeks. American Home Shield and I couldn't get ahold of them. But in American Home Shield's system, if that ever happens, that turns into their customer's problem.

    I couldn't stop calling back, saying that I'm paying American Home Shield, I'm not paying the vendor to come out to work on my refrigerator. And then three weeks later, they finally gave me a different company, and they came out within hours. And there's no timeframe for that contractor to come out. So once it's assigned to them, it's assigned to them. And they can't reassign it until they come and look at it. So the only way they can reassign it is if that company comes out to look at the refrigerator, and then they can't fix it, or they say it's something and you want a second opinion or something.

    Overall AHS has been great. But it hasn't been just smooth. And then, the other thing I don't like is they have different call centers, and I have no access to know which call center it is. Some call centers have more power than other ones. There are ones that are just like, they can just press a button and that's it, and other ones can actually help you with the problem. Sometimes people, when they work in big businesses, they don't do anything to cross the line, they just do whatever so they can keep their job.

    But then, sometimes the customer, in this case myself, I stick them in that specific situation because I'm trying to explain something. They understand, but instead of doing the right thing, they just don't wanna go cross and lines and lose their job, and then I wasn't getting what I'm paying for. And if I'm trying to explain what they're doing wrong, there's nowhere to go and explain in it and get the job done. And I don't have time to just randomly start calling American Home Shield and giving my own surveys.

    My AC unit went down. I called American Home Shield and Action Air Conditioning and Heating got out here. It took them two to three days for the whole process to play out, and then they fixed the AC. The contractors were good and the AC has been working fine. American Home Shield is not bad. I called them before and was gonna use them. Luckily, when the AC went out, it wasn't peak of the season, and it still was a two to three day delay. But when I called them in the peak of the season the previous year, they told me they had to send a company from Florida, and that it was gonna be like five or some days. I was like, "Man, I can't do that." I had a young child, and at that time, my wife was nine months pregnant. It was like right about the time to give birth and the AC went out. I ended up having to just pay out of pocket to see it through.

    When you pay that warranty, I guess you assume that if you have a problem, you’re gonna get a little bit better of a response time. Then you’re kinda stuck to using them if it’s something serious because you paid all this money into the warranty. You paid for the thing so if something happens, it’s available to be used. It's unfortunate. It's just that they're a big company and they only have so many vendors in the area. And that was probably the worst time of the year to call for an air conditioner call. I'm a contractor myself. I understand when it's busy, it's busy and you could only do so much. AHS had to be able to work on improving something and to have better options. I live in South Carolina and my first option was one state away, which is really only an hour drive. Then my second option was two states away. It was unfortunate that there was no one in my area that could have attended to me a little quicker.

    The pump that takes the water out for the condensation was really yucky and dirty. And then the line that moves the water from the AC unit itself down through the line was backed up and clogged. American Home Shield sent out Ambient Air and they were awesome. I actually called the contractor before they had a chance to call me, and they were out the next day. And that’s not common here. Sometimes, here, we'd get, “Yeah, we can be there in a week.” Whatever date he'd come out to fix it. But the fact that we live in Tucson, Arizona where it’s really, really hot, AHS's contractor was able to get out. The guy was really amazing. It was kind of that situation where repair wasn’t necessary, in the sense it’s something that I could’ve taken care of. But the tech was great.

    The tech showed what the problem was and said, "Going forward, if you have this issue, here are little things you can do. If it doesn’t work, call us back and we’ll come out.” He knew exactly what the problem was within the first two minutes of me telling him what was going on. I was hoping though that the AC would get a little boost and work a bit more efficiently, but I haven’t had a single problem. In fact, when he got there, my house was 85, 90 degrees-ish. And within an hour of the guy leaving, my house was already rapidly cooling down.

    Right now, I have a weird pay going on at my work so I wasn’t able to make my monthly payment right away like I had wanted to. The person I talked to on the phone was great with understanding it. I was told, “If you don’t pay it by this date, that’s when your coverage is 100% termed and you have to start all over,” which I actually need to update my payment. I had to take it off of an auto-withdraw because of my work schedule. Nevertheless, I’ve told both my parents they need to sign up for AHS with our house.

    My hot water heater was leaking. I called American Home Shield about it and the contractors came out. They saw that the thing was leaking and they said that AHS would have to order the hot water heater, and when it came in, then they could come by and put it on. They also told me that I needed $404 worth of upgrades to make it up-to-date to what the standards are today. And that I would need to pay that once they come out to replace the hot water heater. The hot water heater took forever to come in. After two or three weeks, I called AHS and asked them if it came in yet. They said that it just came in that day and that somebody would be out to put it in. It was a long time in between because it was leaking, and I didn’t want 50 gallons of water on my floor.

    The contractor that came out was very friendly. But as soon as he walked in the house he asked me is, “Do you have $404?” I said, "This is the third time you guys have asked me that. Why are you asking me again?” He said, “This is what I’m supposed to do.” I now have a brand new water heater. It works and it’s not leaking. So far, my experience with American Home Shield is okay, it's mostly technical. I would recommend them.

    Thus far, I'm very happy with American Home Shield. I have the service in Houston and I'm gonna keep using it. They send me the name of their contractors. However, they have things they cover that they're saying they don't cover. Still, they do the best they can. I had an AC issue one time and Three Brothers came to do service. They checked the machine and they said I was covered for the air conditioner problem. However, they said that next time, when the pipe is clogged, I need to do the plumbing. So, I don't know what's going on. Still, generally, their techs do good service. They review the whole machine and check for other trouble.

    Recently, I called AHS for a dishwasher that was still leaking. The last company they sent to fix it didn't go a good job. Techs came to our house and replaced a piece but then it's still leaking. They didn't remove the dishwasher, check out everything and then put it back. Instead, they took it the easy way. I prefer AHS to send me a Sears technician when they send me a contractor because my brand is Sears.

I submit claims over the phone, generally, and I get response back within the next day or so from the technicians that are coming out to look at my problem. Generally, it happens fairly quickly and although sometimes, it takes more than a few days, it does get taken care of.

When the technicians couldn’t get it working by replacing one part, they called and talked to American Home Shield. They basically said it would be better to replace the whole unit and that’s what happened. They brought a brand new unit in, installed it and did a great job. I really appreciated it.

When he gets a hold of a rep, as with any call system nowadays, a lot of that have been farmed out to other countries. So when you get a person, English is not their native language and sometimes it is very hard to understand them.

    American Home Shield came with the house we bought a house. The house requires a lot of work so we're using AHS to its fullest extent. A number of people from a number of different services have come out in the last month and all of them have been great. The only one we really had a problem with was Temprite, the HVAC people, and it wasn't them themselves. I believe AHS forgot about us. We have a very old HVAC system and they had to fabricate a part. Two weeks went by when I finally called and asked them what was going on. They said they finished their job with us, which they did not. They did come out since then, and it's finished now, but at the time, we were hanging around in limbo waiting to see what would happen.

    So far, I'm pleased with AHS and we fully intend to reup when the year is over. Their service is comprehensive and I don't need to worry. For the amount that it's gonna cost to reup, I know that for the following year, anything that goes wrong is mostly covered. AHS has been very efficient on the phone. Their reps have been very quick to send somebody to see the claim and then quick to assign some workman to the claim. So, everything is happening the way it should.

    My refrigerator was a little too warm. It would cool vegetable, but my milk kept going bad in it the week before the expiration date which was probably indicative that something was wrong. I ended up calling the claim in and got an AHS customer service person. They were able to get information and entered it in for me. Vector Appliances serviced my refrigerator.

    The technician tried to do his job, but he just seemed like was having a bad day or something. He wasn’t horrible nor did he do anything terrible or rude, his tone was just a little short. He looked at the fridge and I left him alone while he was doing the fridge thing. Afterwards, he said that it was missing a part and he didn't have it. He had to go and get it and just left. But the refrigerator was definitely colder, but it was so cold that things were starting to freeze inside my fridge instead. So whatever the part that he needed to get, it had something to do with this. I waited for a week and a half and then I ended up calling in. The lady who was answered for the company was really nice. She said that they got the part and that they could get someone out here.

    When they replaced the part, I had to clean up my whole fridge ‘cause things were defrosting in there, and then the water started running. Then the inside of my refrigerator was starting to get a little flooded. During the time when things were freezing in my refrigerator, my water dispenser stopped working. I had to call again that and they had to send someone else out again and they figured out that whenever it froze, it cracked something inside the refrigerator. So I had to wait a little while longer for them to get another part and replace it.

    Now, my refrigerator’s working great, but it was a multi-step kind of experience to get it to that point. This situation had its own little inherent problems. In the solving of the problem, everyone was very professional, helpful and they did the best they can. I also wasn't charged every time I had to call them back in to fix stuff. It was an ongoing problem and it was taken care of.

They both apologized about the one unprofessional customer service rep we had. We are agreeable with the resolution and will continue with our relationship.

    Really not having a good time with this company right now. They were great but their customer service has gone so BAD!!!! I was just hung up on after being on hold for 52 minutes.... I am on hold again.... DO NOT PURCHASE THIS HOME WARRANTY COMPANY RIGHT NOW> LOOK AROUND. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE customer service. I have 2 homes with this warranty and have given out their number to many others but will no longer do this. I am NOT able to get anyone to answer the phone except the sign up line. That line answers right away but the "I need help line" has me on hold every time for well 30 minutes plus!!!!

    We called for repair for our central AC on 08/13/19 and paid our service fee. On 08/15/19 the AHS contractor came to our home and looked at our unit. He left no paperwork. He called the next day to say he would need $1200 - $1500 to remove oil furnace and place it in our courtyard to evaluate the AC repair. I asked if the charge included replacing our oil furnace and he said: "No, we don't work on oil furnaces". I immediately called AHS and requested another contractor. On 08/19/19 their 2nd contractor came out. He wrote up a report and had me sign it. We agreed to remove some drywall so he could have clear access to the AC. This has been done. The 2nd contractor finally emailed me on 09/10/19 to tell he he hasn't responded to my calls or email because AHS has not approved his repair order.

    I call AHS for updates daily. Every day they tell me they have to contact the 2nd contractor and give them 24 hours. Most days I am on hold for 20 - 40 minutes and then disconnected. I have kept records of all calls and AHS personnel names, what was said & how long these calls took. In the meantime, in FL my AC is broken for a month tomorrow and no one at AHS will help me. We have had a contract with AHS for over 10 years and previous to this experience have been pleased with the service.

    Updated on 10/28/2019: They are still a fraud! Do not buy a warranty from them! AHS sent another technician out after I submitted a bad review, and he stated some part I can't pronounce, (some kind of coil) needed to be replaced as well as the entire unit outside. AHS still refuses to fix the AC unit after the initial work order was submitted. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH AHS.

    Original Review: I purchased their home warranty and when the AC went out, the company they sent said the unit needed to be replaced. AHS keeps saying they never received the report saying it needed to be replaced. Now every time I call AHS they say they will call me back and never do, or they put me on hold and hang up on me. I've called at least 7 or 8 times!!

    I have tried for over a week to get my "covered" refrigerator repaired with AHS and the vendor they selected, Sharper Service. I live in Spokane WA and the vendor is from Oregon. First AHS contacted a vendor who never called. They made no effort to follow up and make sure their vendor contacted me. I finally called them back and they assigned a new vendor (Sharper Service). The tech they sent had a bad back and could do virtually nothing.

    A few days later they sent another tech who had to have the first tech meet him to figure out what was wrong and parts needed to fix it. The parts were ordered and a date for the following Thursday to do the repair. The parts are all here at my house but now the tech is out sick and no one else can do the work according to AHS. I have paid the service call fee and the warranty was prepaid - but no service has taken place. I can't get anyone at AHS to get this resolved. I just left a voicemail for Rex Tibbens president of AHS and he had not responded either. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON A WARRANTY FROM AHS.

So the day of the appointment A Advanced showed up at 9PM ...Smelled my home up with old cigarettes smoke smells, walked in with his shoes on through my house. Now it's Thursday and they tell me once AGAIN they can't give me a time frame that it's 8 to 8. Please tell me how you can work like that? It's been the biggest runaround with this. I'm about done. If this company shows up at 9pm tonight I'll be in bed and I will Cancel this home warranty. It's not worth the time waiting when I pay for something that's hurting me more than helping me.

    We purchased a home and we had our locks rekeyed through American Home Shield. I got spare keys as well. The contractor was great. It took a while for him to rekey everything because we had two different lock types and he went and bought locks and just charged me what the locks cost and rekeyed them. We did the claim over the phone. The AHS rep was wonderful. For some reason, and it may be my fault, it wouldn’t take our debit card when we were processing the payment. I tried it twice, my debit card and my wife’s, and I finally ended up using a credit card. I got emails that it hadn’t been paid and I'm freaking out with that, but I used the credit card and everything went through fast.

    I was told this was a good company for home warranty. My A/C otherwise known as my HVAC system...HVAC (Heating ventilation air conditioning) appeared to not be working well when it came to cooling our home. I called them, paid the $125 service fee and they had someone come out a few days later. So far so good. He worked on the AC unit and found some minor problems and corrected them and left. The next day our house was somewhat cooler but still not right. By the 3rd day it was back to the way it was before the service call.

    Called them again and they set up another appointment and the same tech came out. He looked things over and said it all looked good. I suggested checking the ventilation under the house. Bingo! Some of it had come detached. The tech said the work order was only for the A/C and we would have to have AHS submit a work order to have them work on the ventilation. So we did. Called them I did. They said NO problem. NO new service charge was needed. They tried to call them to set up an appointment but they were closed. They said they would call them and get back with me.

    Well some time had passed with no calls. Then when I was out of state they tried to reach me. I was unable to take the call. I called a couple days later. They said they would contact the service company to have them come out. The service company called me the same day and said the work order was for the A/C unit and not the ventilation. I called AHS and they said that because the tech WASHED my coils it was considered a repair (who knew that washing was a repair? I repair my SUV weekly I guess) and therefor the work order has been completed. For them the send out another tech to work on the ventilation they would need to create a NEW work order and charge me ANOTHER $125.

    After arguing with the person on the other end (ever call has been answered by a woman somewhere in the Orient or Philippines) I asked to speak with a supervisor. Never got one. Was transferred to someone who handles "escalated calls". After a lot of back and forth she told me because I initially called in to complain about my A/C not working then the work order was for ONLY the A/C unit. NOT THE ENTIRE HVAC system. After much bickering back and forth and because they found where I was told there would be no service fee...she said they would not charge one but still wanted my cc info. They have it on file and will use that but assured me that no fee would be applied. We shall wait and see.

    So supposedly I will be contacted by the service company to set up an appointment. My advice to you if you use this company and have a "repair" try washing it first...no really...I would be vague as in what the problem is so they can't pigeon hole you into 1 item in what might be just a small unit of a bigger system or problem.

    I had a gas leak in my furnace at my rental in Columbus, Ohio. The gas company came out, confirmed that the issue was a gas leak and shut off the gas to the furnace. I called American Home Shield to do a claim and they sent a company out. That company said that they weren't gonna fix my furnace and that I should call them in the fall. That was not acceptable so I had AHS get me a second opinion.

    Foxcroft HVAC called to let me know that they had been asked to do the job. Their tech asked me what had transpired prior to him being called for a second opinion. I asked him to call my tenant directly so that they could match their schedules. Foxcroft also asked us to wait for a little bit because they were dealing with a lot of high temperatures and air conditioning going out. They asked me if I minded if it waited. I didn’t mind, and my tenants didn’t mind because the air conditioning at my house was working. They came out as scheduled and took care of my problem. Their tech was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Now, everything’s working again. If I have another furnace situation, I'm gonna ask for Foxcroft. I have three homes and I have American Home Shield on all three properties.

    It was a horrible experience working with American Home Shield on getting a repair that wasn’t done properly. It wasn’t within 60 days but it was still within six months, and it was a defective part. I spent two to three hours trying to get somebody to talk to me that wasn’t in the Philippines. I’d go on social media to get any sort of response, and that came back negative. I had to find the CEO or head of the company and send them an email, which finally got some response, and finally got it taken care of at no charge. And then, I got billed for the service fee, which took more of my time to go back and find Annette who took care of it for me, and wiped it out.

    American Home Shield was extremely poor in customer service. Their people in the Philippines have no understanding of trying to pass it along. I was told that I could not get it passed along because no one was gonna help me. They worked off a script and they didn’t care. At the end of August, I dropped American Home Shield.

    American Home Shield rocks. Our claim for the washing machine has been all settled and they’re delivering a new one to us on the 19th. I’ve usually done claims over the phone and the reps have all been terrific. It's just that when you call, you press one, press two, do this and do that then eventually, you get somebody. So I figured out how to go online and get it done right away. I usually like to talk to people but never mind. Going through the website is easier.

    The technician had come out for the washing machine and he tried to fix it. But he said that it was too old. They couldn't get any parts for it. He told me to let him know If we have another problem. Well, the next day, it locked its door and we couldn’t get the clothes out. By messing with it, I finally got it to go into a different cycle and unlock the door but that was it. I said, "We’re not using this anymore." The approval for the new washing machine took three days. They told me what they had available and I picked one. We decided to get a top loader because we were more familiar with that. The delivery people, by the way, have been absolutely terrific as well.

    When the warranty runs out, I’m gonna renew it for another year because the next thing that’ll go will be the furnace or something else. I’m also gonna put American Home Shield on the house that I just lived in. I just leased it. I highly recommend it too. In fact, I’ve told everybody that I talk to. American Home Shield has been terrific and anybody that doesn’t do that is a fool.

The contractor that was sent by American Home Shield replaced the icemaker. Our interaction was fine. He was to the point. He was on time, and the replacement took like barely half an hour and he was done, and it’s been working fine since.

    I'm on my second year with American Home Shield. My only thing with American Home Shield is I started at like $22 a month, and now it’s like 27 a month. If it keeps going up, I'm gonna start searching other companies because between the monthly fee that I pay and $125 for the contractor to come in the door is a pretty good chunk of money. I understand that it still is probably less based on what he gave me. He only gave me one sheet of paper that shows me what that would’ve cost straight out of pocket. I’m still kinda saving if I need the help first off. It’s still reasonable considering there could be work on my appliances. I still feel better having it than not.

    We had an appliance claim with American Home Shield for the refrigerator, and this was our fifth service call of the same problem. I’ve had four companies come out. I had a positive experience with Mr. Appliance. The issue in my case is we have an on-going problem with the refrigerator, and it’s not clear if I might have to go to the extent of having the manufacturer send someone out. It seems to be a thoroughly complicated issue. And so, Mr. Appliance was not able to resolve the issue, but they did tell me that it was their professional opinion that this was gonna likely involve a major repair, and their recommendation was to contact the manufacturer and see if they would send one of their reps out, because they would under the circumstances. Mr. Appliance felt like the scope of this repair was beyond their capability to fix it.

    Mr. Appliance was upfront about their ability, and what they could do, what they couldn’t do, and the fact that they didn’t feel comfortable in trying to take on fixing what they thought was the problem because it’s such a large scale. They told me pretty much that we need a new fridge, and it’s only five years old, so it’s still under manufacturer’s warranty. So, that’s why they were saying like, “Yeah, you might need to go that route because you have kind of an unusual problem.”

    For that particular visit, the experience went well. What happened was, I reopened an old claim because those folks have been out previously, had replaced some parts a couple of times, recharged the coolant in the refrigerator, and I thought the problem was resolved, but then we kept having these weird mechanical issues, and finally figured out it was probably related to the issue we had two months ago. With American Home Shield, I was able to call them and request to reopen the latest ticket on the refrigerator, and they accepted that. So, I had a good experience with them in that regard.

    With American Home Shield, I like that they’re very responsive when you call for a repair. They’re relatively quick to assign somebody for the first round. But what I will really ding them on is related to a separate issue I’ve had. On my entire experience with them, I have had a really tough time on a separate claim, getting them to coming to an agreement with them when we had to replace an appliance with regards to the replacement product. It was impossible for me to get on the phone and have a verbal conversation with someone in their department that makes the decisions on the replacement products and the feature set or what’s the like-kind equivalent when they’re replacing an appliance. It took me several calls to their call center to finally get an email address of a department that appeared to handle that.

    I rejected their initial offer of replacement product because I told them it wasn’t a like-kind of product. I also told them that the dollar amount they offered me as an alternative wasn’t sufficient because it didn’t correlate to what my research yielded, the like-kind of replacement would cost. I spent a year arguing with them back and forth or trying to, and it was like I would send emails to them and would just go off into Lalaland, and there was no response back. I even tried to contact them by phone and via email to request arbitration because that’s in the contract, and it was only after I got to the point of threatening them with a lawsuit and calling their headquarters, and asking them for their physical address so I could know where to send the process over, that I finally got a response.

    It was ridiculous. About two days after I made that call, I got an email back from their department that handles this process, with a new counteroffer that ended at $300 increase, and then from their part, got an offer, a different model replacement, and I ended up accepting the model replacement. We finally came through a point of agreeing on it. I had sent them photographs. I’ve sent them documentation like PDF pages from manufacturers, not marketing material, but product information like owner’s manuals. I’ve sent them examples of, “Hey, this is what I had, but no longer manufactured. Here are some comparable devices from other manufacturers.”

    I put a lot of time into making my pitch that I can convince that I’m right, and they’re wrong since what they were offering initially was not an actual representation of what they need to replace. All in all, I kinda was just mouthing off them. I tried to be civil about this whole thing, but it got really frustrating. If they have anything more complicated than their process for handling these grievances, like up until the point where you say, “Oh, yes. I’ll take that deal, just replace my whatever,” or, “Please send a rep out. Thanks. Have a nice day,” it’s a disaster. There should be a clear process of how to handle a complex claim where there’s a disagreement between the homeowner and AHS. They could have been handled with a phone call or a simple email exchange where I’m somewhat acknowledged, “Mr. **, yeah, thanks for reaching out. I see what you’re talking about and we agree with you or we don’t.”

    The other thing that bothered me was there is no information in that contract that tells you how to initiate the arbitration process or how that works. So, it’s a very vague statement and I happen to have some experience in government contracts because I’m used to looking at contracts and getting stuck or poking people with these gotcha clauses.

    AHS' is horribly written because there is no process. What I’m forced to do as a homeowner is go to the same process that you go through everything else, to call up the same phone number or email to the same email address, and I’m getting somebody who’s probably in the Philippines who really can’t do anything to help me other than push it up the chain, and it goes into who knows where, if anywhere. So, it’s a very frustrating experience from a homeowner’s perspective, and it kinda make me wanna redo my policy, which I did, because partly because I wanted to keep the train going on this particular issue, and also because they have benefited me in other respects.

    I usually speak with an American Home Shield representative when I submit a claim because I make sure. I've had a couple of bad experiences so I have to make sure whatever I'm ordering is covered and if it's not, there's no point. I had a guy come in, took my 75 bucks, and said that he would fix the issue which I called American Home Shield about and they said it was not covered. So, what was the point of spending my $75? There had also been a lot of back and forth. We had an issue with the stove and the tech came in but he only fixed the motor and the stove was still not going up and down. They said we had to give another 75 to which we said no. They haven't fixed the problem. Then, they had to call the person and then we explained again.

    The contractors that AHS has sent out have been very good and professional. My most recent claim was for a pool pump that wasn't working. The contractor that came out did an excellent job. I'm very satisfied. American Home Shield does a good job, but the problem with them is nobody can explain how my bill went from $76 to $87. This year, my contract expired and they automatically changed my payment without letting me know. Apart from that, I have no issues. I had this company in Indiana in my last house and in the five years that we lived there, we had the service. And when we bought this house, we had some other company. When that contract expired, I immediately hire American Home Shield and then we went from there. Overall, it's a very good company and I would recommend them.

    Everything was okay with Happy Bear, the contractor for the AC Unit, but I would like to exclude from American Home Shield’s service providers the first one that they sent, which was Consolidated Mechanical. I have two units and they identified that one of the compressors needed to be changed. That was totally false. When they came on the 26th, I asked them on which unit they were gonna change the compressor. The technician was wrong. They have already started to change it but I declined it right there. They gave me an invoice saying that I declined the compressor installation and that the office will refund the money. But they already charged me almost $1,400 on my bill. If I trusted those people, they would have changed a compressor that was workable. When I called initially, the one that you turn the AC off and on was probably working and the thermostat didn't work properly, but they didn't replace even the thermostat.

    I hired somebody out and I paid a trusted company that used to do my maintenance for the unit. Larson Air Conditioning here in Phoenix came, and nothing was wrong. I had to pay $100 and whatever they charged me for the service for diagnostic. I called American Home Shield and I asked for a second opinion from their side because they wouldn’t trust outsiders. They might say that whoever I hire might not be reliable and they still trusted the first one. AHS sent Happy Bear and the guy tested everything. He said that the compressor didn't need to be changed and everything was working. There was no problem to begin with, but he was able to confirm the second opinion that I got.

    American Home Shield should take an action against Consolidated Mechanical because they’ll send these people to some other customer. Also, they were not supposed to give you an invoice right there for $1,400, which I still have. I’m dissatisfied with AHS because I’ve been on the phone with them and it was just very hard for them to understand the situation. When I encountered these issues, I asked why I should pay $1,400. They transferred me to different departments and I escalated to the supervisor. They were supposed to call me back but nobody did. I did everything on my own until I solved the problem. I’m very disappointed with the customer service.

    I had American Home Shield when I lived in a different house. Back then it was 1985, and our heater went out, and they charged me 39 bucks for a brand-new heater. So I also got them this time around. Three things broke inside of a month and I did all three claims with American Home Shield online. The contractors have all been great. They solved the problems on the first try.

    One of the claims was for the dishwasher and right now, it’s working pretty much the way it was when we first got it. This is a brand-new house and the dishwasher was just installed. We had a warranty for a year, and after that ran out, I came back to AHS. It just needed a good cleaning, and the contractor took care of that and showed us what to do to keep it clean. And then after that, there were still some stuff built up in there and it started making weird noises. By the time they came back out, it was pretty much done.

    I noticed that our air conditioner went out when I got home from work on a Tuesday. We called that evening and told them that we needed service for our air conditioner. Everything is pretty much automated. But it was not gonna work. We needed to know who was gonna come and when. So the next day, we called American Home Shield and they said that Total Air Care was going to come out and that we could call them and find out when exactly they were going to do that, which we did.

    Total Air Care said they couldn't come out until Friday, which was unacceptable. My husband called and spoke with someone at American Home Shield, and they told him that if they were to get somebody else, they would have to cancel the appointment we have for Friday and it would be a 50-50 chance of whether or not they could get somebody to come in. It was crazy. I'm sorry but we couldn't accept that. I called back to American Home Shield and I explained the problem to the lady. I told her it was 100 degrees out here. We couldn't wait until Friday. I asked if there was anybody else and she heard what I said.

    She said she would get on the phone and find out. I told her I shouldn't have to cancel this appointment to get somebody else to come. I needed to know who were all the people that they deal with, and I would call and find out if they have an opening where they can get us in right away because it was an emergency. The lady told me I wouldn't have to do that and to let her call. She said she would put me on hold and she would call and find out if they can get somebody else to come right away. I was on hold for about 10 minutes then she came back on and said Total Air Care was going to come out between 2:00 and 4:00 that day. And I thanked her for that. She went above and beyond. She took the time and I was very appreciative of that. She understood.

    They had given me a 2:00 to 4:00 window, but the gentleman actually got there at 2:05. He looked at the AC and was very professional and nice. He thought it was the compressor and he explained to me. He said he would change it out and he did. But a few minutes later, it went out and he said, "Oops, it's not the compressor." He looked at it again and said it was the motor. He had a motor on him so he changed it out and had me back running. He was there maybe an hour with that.

    This was the best experience that I’ve had with American Home Shield. The biggest gripe that I have with most of my claims is that with some of the contractors that American Home Shield uses, you’re just not a priority. That’s what made this go around so great because I was really a priority and I appreciated that. The representative that I called at American Home Shield seemed to have more understanding and compassion for what was going on. The AC had stopped blowing cold air. I went outside and the fan wasn’t working so the compressor went out. The representative really tried to resolve the issue.

    In fact, there were two representatives – the one who took the initial call and the one who took the second call to authorize the replacement of the compressor – and they were both great. The experience was outstanding. The contractor who came out was very professional too. Everything seems to be working great for now. The AC has been awesome.

    The AC was not blowing at all and we had just moved in the house. We were wondering how long it was gonna be before we could get a contractor to fix it. Then our realtor reminded us that we have the American Home Shield contract so we’re glad we had it and we’re very pleased with the job. It was also the realtor who said American Home Shield was a good company and that although other people had had some problems, those were corrected pretty readily.

    We were surprised because we had a contract with American Home Shield many years ago and we weren’t quite satisfied. But this time, they were very good in letting us know that the problem was gonna be taken care of and that somebody was gonna come almost immediately. The technician who came did a great job too. He let me know in advance what time he was gonna be here and he showed up at that time. He came in, inspected the unit and immediately went to the wiring. There were about 15 wires connected from the unit and as he was testing them, he came across the reason for the failure. I couldn't believe how quickly he was able to determine the problem. He installed a new thermostat and the AC worked fine after that. We hope it will continue that way. Thank you very much for providing a good service.

    I had initiated a warranty repair claim on my washer/dryer and refrigerator and AHS dispatched a repair order to a contractor. However, they failed to order a repair for the fridge and no repairman was scheduled. I called their customer service after confirming with the contractor (Sears) that they did not receive a repair order and spent 40 minutes on the line with an international call center rep. His name was Juan (his accent was Indian) and was not able to comprehend my issue well. I went in circles trying to explain that Sears never received an order while Juan told me I had to pay the deductible again for the repair that never happened, and now had to be scheduled a second time. It became my fault that the initial order was made for a refrigerator/icemaker and not a refrigerator even though that was a result of a call to a previous international rep who made the order.

    I was put on hold for 15min twice and the issue was finally resolved with Juan setting up a new contractor to repair my fridge. Due to the mistakes made prior, I called the contractor and found much of the info provided by Juan was inaccurate ranging from the contact phone number (he confirmed twice with me my number) to the issue itself (he told the contractor my fridge shelf was leaking???). To sum it up, the customer service was not helpful nor able to comprehend my issue in order to solve it quickly and accurately and much of that was due to cultural and language differences of their service representatives.

    The blower motor on my furnace wasn’t kicking on for the air conditioner. I did my claim with American Home Shield. The tech that was sent from Eagle Air was great. I assume everything is covered as I’m expecting it to be according to Eagle Air, but I haven’t received any communication from American Home Shield, whether it was approved, declined, or anything. So, I don’t know if no news is good news or if I’m supposed to hear back, after the fact, from them. But I didn’t have to pay anything to Eagle Air. So, I’m assuming that meant it was covered. Everything went as I expected it to be for my warranty when I signed up for the warranty.

    The issues mentioned in this review were NOT the fault of Valleywide Appliance Repair but rather due to a miscommunication between our home warranty company, American Home Shield and GE, the provider of our new appliances. Valleywide Appliance Repair had absolutely nothing to do with the delivery or installation of our new appliances. Valleywide Appliance Repair diagnosed the issues with the old appliances that were eventually replaced and consistently provided outstanding and professional customer service. My claim with Valleywide Appliance Repair isn't going well. Valleywide did an outstanding job and all my interactions with them were more than I would have expected. But I'm having problems right now with the appliances being delivered. I'm receiving three items. One is a replacement that American Home Shield approved. The second item is one where I'm getting some cash back, and I'm replacing an item that would have been repaired otherwise. The third item, I'm buying outright from them. These are General Electric appliances.

    When the order was put in with GE and set up with the delivery company, the delivery company contacted me. With the item that was supposed to be installed, they received the wrong installation code for it. It was an oven-microwave combo, and the code that they received was for installing a countertop microwave. So, I had to call back in. I was on the phone for over an hour, and I thought I got it straightened out. I was told that everything would be taken care of. AHS's representative contacted GE while I was on the phone, so GE got over the proper code to the delivery installation company. The item would be delivered and installed. I thought I was set to go.

    The delivery was being done the next day, so I thought I better call them just to make sure. I called the delivery company to confirm all this, and they said the code had been changed, and the code they had did not include disposal of the existing oven microwave. All it was, was the code for the delivery and installation. So, I had to call back in again. Sat on hold for an interminable amount of time. The hold for these items is ridiculous. I've spent literally hours waiting on hold with American Home Shield for the last two weeks.

    I talked to one of their representatives who was a very nice guy. He said he was gonna straighten it out with GE. He saw where, apparently, they had given the wrong code to the delivery company. He said he was gonna take care of it. By the time I got a hold of him yesterday, GE was closed, so he said he was getting in at 11:30 eastern time, would get that straightened out with GE, make sure everything was as it was supposed to be, and then contact me. That's the rigmarole I've gone through. More of a pain in the butt than I really need especially during a work week. What I'm looking for right now is a phone call from James, the last guy I talked to, who will have straightened it out with GE and confirmed everything. Then, I'm gonna call the delivery company to confirm that. They should be delivering and installing the oven, removing the oven, and then dropping off the other two items which are a stovetop and a hood.

    We called American Home Shield on a Wednesday, then they finally got in touch with us the following week. The contractor said the service was going to be the following Wednesday, which would’ve been two weeks. I called AHS customer relations line and had them call the contractor. They did send a man and both times when he came in, he knew what the problem was right away and ordered the part while he was there. When he came back, he fixed the thing with no problem. So, their people know what they’re doing, They just got too much business they can do. So far, the AHS contractors are doing everything on their end and there may not be that many service reps in the Macon area that works on appliances.

    My AC stopped working. It was hot outside and then it got hot inside. I called the AHS number on the paper that we got with closing from our house, and they said they would have a tech out there who would then give us a call within two business days. It was a 30 minute-call. Then Thermodyne called me pretty quick, got us on the schedule, was out there later that day, fixed whatever it was and that was it. It worked out really nice. I was a little nervous. I was like, “Well, we’re the middleman. We have to call somebody. How long is this gonna take?” Because you pay the service fee to American Home Shield. But they got it squared away so we’re pleased with it.

    The air conditioner's outside part wasn't coming on as a bad storm had blown the capacitor. This was the first time we used American Home Shield, and by the luck of the draw, we were on the phone with our regular AC guy and he did not wanna use the guy American Home Shield was gonna put us with. By the grace of God, when we submitted it, it said, “Your service provider will be Fruge’s Air Conditioning,” and that’s who we used. We were lucky that it happened to be the same man that we’ve used for 20 years, Danny. It would be good if AHS had a few to choose from. Nonetheless, Danny was amazing. He’s one of the best around town. We put the claim in at 10:00 one night, and he was out here the very next morning.

    I filed a claim with American Home Shield over two weeks ago for the dishwasher. It went from being silent to making a very loud noise every time it runs, and so we were concerned that there was something wrong with it. We had an appointment scheduled for the first visit and we took a day off work so we could be there for the contractor. He showed up and he originally said it was a pump. He had the pump in his truck and when he came back in and fixed it, the noise was still happening and he said it needed a new motor. He said he was gonna get his boss to approve it, which was great.

    A couple of days later, I got an email from American Home Shield asking me to rate the service since the call was completed. I called the contractor and said that the service hasn’t been completed. They told me that he was gonna come back out with the part. We needed to have a tech come out again last Monday and check it out one more time. So, I said it was not a problem.

    We took a second day off of work so we could be there for the tech and 20 minutes before the appointment time, he called me and said he was gonna cancel the appointment, but the good news is he got the approval to order the part. He said he would call back and make another appointment when he gets the part so he can install it. We said okay. Four or five days later, I got another email from American Home Shield saying, “We wanna make sure you’re happy since the service has been completed.” I called up the contractor and said that my service hasn’t been completed and that their guy said he was gonna be back. He cancelled our appointment on Monday. I told them the whole story again and they said that as far as they’re concerned, this was done. They finished it and they were not doing anything else.

    I called American Home Shield two days ago. I explained to them everything and they said that they’ve elevated it to the next level. I will be taken care of and not to worry about it. Today, two days later, I called American Home Shield and said that no one has contacted me and I’m still waiting. They said they would get the contractor on the phone and they called him. He is now saying that they’ve tried to call me, which they haven't. They told me through American Home Shield that it’s just a noise so they're not gonna cover the noise. It’s like losing two days of work when I could’ve used that to just buy a new dishwasher, but I’m counting on American Home Shield to come through for me here like they have any other time.

    All my other service appointments have been great. We’ve loved the contractors, they’ve taken care of the issues and we haven't had any problems. But in this one, I have been lied to because I was told it was a motor. Now I’m told it’s not. I was told they’ve ordered the motor and they're gonna make another appointment. They didn't order a motor and didn't make another appointment. They told me that it was all done. American Home Shield said it’s not all done. So, that contractor is the issue. American Home Shield themselves have been good to me so far. Everything I’ve ever had with them was very pleasant and their service on the phone was always great. I’ve been with them for 11 months and I’m up for renewal next month but I’m not sure if I’m gonna do it because of this most recent thing.

We were assigned to AUS Air Conditioning of Texas and they were very good. They were very responsive. They were able to identify the issue quickly and resolve it so we would not swelter in the heat down here. I was very pleased.

    A Whirlpool technician came out after I made a claim for my dryer with American Home Shield. The technician was very good and I was impressed by his knowledge. I also liked his speed. He did not have the part on his truck which is to be expected. The tech was there on a Monday afternoon and he came back two days later on Wednesday with the part to fix the dryer. He did a great job.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield for many years now and you can forget about trying to get ahold of somebody. Their claim submission is impersonal now that you do everything online. Also, I found out with the Whirlpool group that came out that even though on the American Home Shield’s website it asked for the brand of the dryer, model and all that, that was not related to Whirlpool.

We had issues in the past but this last time, Active Appliance Service was there and everything turned around. The refrigerator has been awesome since the repair.

    AHS sent Ramey Appliance and they were not able to get the problem of my refrigerator resolved. The ice maker is not making ice all the time. So they think it's the compressor. And my understanding is that American Home Shield was never able to get ahold of them again. They came out twice, and the problem just reappeared. And then, tried to get them back out. He also came out twice for our dishwasher because the first time, it didn't get fixed. When he came out and fixed the dryer for us, he was able to fix that right away. And then, when he was there, my wife mentioned that the refrigerator was not working again after his second visit.

    And he did look at it, which was nice that he did that, and then his recommendation was that we should replace the refrigerator. He was gonna send a recommendation to American Home Shield, but he never did that. And then, we could just never get ahold of him again. So I don't know what happened to him. We've got other companies coming out. We had another company come out. They diagnosed the problem, but they were not specialists, and the thing that needed to be fixed. So now, we've got somebody coming out tomorrow. Hopefully, the next contractor coming out will be able to at least fix it or recommend a replacement.

    Most of American Home Shield's representatives are also difficult to understand. And the last time, having somebody come out again for the refrigerator was difficult just because they wanted to charge another service fee, even though the problem wasn't fixed the first time. So that took a while to get fixed. But nevertheless, I've been satisfied with AHS because certainly they send people out.

    I had a very poor experience with the contractor that was sent by American Home Shield. The first time, they couldn’t find anything wrong. And that was because they were in such a rush. Now, I'm not a plumber. I am not mechanically inclined. I'm a retired attorney. They said nothing was wrong. They left. Three to four hours later, there was an overflow again. So, we called again and they sent another contractor out. He spent 20 minutes and couldn’t find anything wrong. I knew there was something wrong with it, but not knowing anything about plumbing, what am I gonna say? He couldn’t find the leak.

    Finally, I sat in that bathroom for an hour and 20 minutes on a chair and flushed the commode to see what was going on, and it was simple. It was embarrassing. All they had to do is replace those little valves that raise and lower the water level automatically. That was all it had to be. They never even looked at that. So, I waited for the third guy to come out and I told him, “This is what’s wrong.” I let the water flow into a bucket, I didn’t want any more on the floor, so he could see exactly what was going on, and it was a quick change and he was out of here. But it's disappointing for me to have to sit there. If they would have stayed around and investigated a little more the first two times, it was obvious. It was so obvious to me when I did the time to spend it. So, I'm very disappointed in those people.

    American Home Shield's people on their end were very helpful. The young lady I dealt with really went out of her way and understood. The irony of it was that when I explained to the woman that I dealt with at My Georgia Plumber, she was amazed that they couldn’t find it, and she was very apologetic, but she had to go through the process of letting American Home Shield send somebody else out, and I understood that. That was what kept the frustration level low.

    This is our third year with American Home Shield and we've had a washing machine problem, dryer problems, and garbage disposal problems. They’ve taken care of everything except the garbage disposal problem and they still can't figure that out. So, what I do is I get down there. When the garbage disposal backs up, I put my hand down in there and I spin it and spin it and pull what's in there out and it works fine. I had two guys out here that cost me $125 a shot and they couldn’t fix it. So, I just let it go and I'm taking care of that now.

    American Home Shield has always been very cooperative. Sometimes, they send out people that are much more of a handyman or plumbers. They weren’t very confident plumbers if I had to point out the problem in this latest claim. But I'm satisfied with American Home Shield and I'll continue to do business with them. As a matter of fact, my son just bought a home, and the first thing I had him do was to contract with American Home Shield for his new home.

    I initially called American Home Shield because my emergency drain is actually a building code violation. It’s draining in my garage. But when the request for that to be repaired was put in, American Home Shield denied it. They said that they’re not able to do cosmetic coverage because it’s not in my contract supposedly. Still, they serviced my AC to make sure that everything was running properly and it was running fine. But then, on Wednesday, it stopped running all together and it was 86 degrees in my house.

    I called American Home Shield back on Thursday morning and the rep said she would call me back me. They cancelled the claim on Thursday for the same reason but they never notified me that they had cancelled it. I called them on Thursday evening and the lady said she was gonna put the request in and expedite it. She also apologized for the inconvenience. Still, they didn’t call me on Thursday so I called them on Friday at 8:00 and every hour on the hour until I got results.

    They cancelled the claim two more times on Friday and every time I tried to explain the situation, they would still go back to the vendor who had nothing to do with the issue that I was having. I had to go through my real estate agent to get a result because I couldn’t get the people at American Home Shield to use critical thinking. At about 2 o’ clock on Friday, I called my real estate agent. I told her that they were supposed to service this HVAC system before closing and undoubtably, they didn’t do it because we didn’t have filters. We didn’t have everything that we needed to have. My real estate agent said not to worry about it. She told me she would make a call and call me back.

    My real estate agent ended up getting in contact with the AHS regional director for our area and within 30 minutes, she had called and emailed me and I had a service person at my door. So in that aspect, I’m very appreciative. The regional director pulled my file and did everything for me. But I shouldn’t have had to go through the whole thing for something I did not cause. The AC was working fine prior to the contractor getting here and now it isn't working. The contractor should’ve annotated it on my invoice or on the feedback they were gonna give back to AHS.

    I ended up getting authorization from the regional director to go outside the contractors on Friday. The contractor called me this morning saying the part had come in but because of the heat and the location of my HVAC, they would have to do it the first thing in the morning, due to health reasons. At the end of the day, I’m really not happy with American Home Shield at all.
