    The hot water heater went to hell and completely poured water through the bottom. AHS sent a contractor who looked at everything and took the hot water heater out. I had to enlarge the door before they could put the new unit in because it was bigger around. But that wasn't until after I called them about when they were going to put it in. They asked if I had enlarged the door and I told them I had, a week ago. Then, another company came in and they had to cut out a bunch of the walls and a bunch of the floor because of the possibility of mold from the water. They put in fans and stuff to help dry it out and for three days, we had to listen to fans running all freaking night. But the night after they took all the fans out, a guy showed up saying he was there to take the fans out and I told him it was done the night before.

    Also, the plumbing company put down half-inch plywood on the floor instead of a three-quarter-inch and it was not safe to walk on. I had to find a private contractor to put my house back together. He repaired the floor, put new boards in, put in new drywall in the walls, and painted it so it matched really good. Neither one of the companies from AHS was dependable and I was not happy with them. AHS gave me the compensation, though, which I was happy with. Someone came out for the damages that one company did and he told AHS about what he thought needed to be fixed and that was what they went by.

    Sears repair canceled my appointment and could not come for another two weeks. Called American Homeshield who gave Sears the repair order and told them that I was having eight people for dinner in a week and needed them to come before two weeks, the person at American Homeshield was very understanding and called Sears and they still said they did not have any earlier appointments. He said he would give us to the escalation department. When I got to the escalation department, I spoke with RAVEN, she absolutely would not do ANYTHING. I begged her to let us have another repair company come. RAVEN still said, NO.

    I told her there are tons of reviews online with the same complaints for Sears that they scheduled you and then the day they are supposed to come, they canceled. RAVEN still said, no. I would like to suggest to American Homeshield that they should send RAVEN for training on how she can actually help people instead of making them beg to do the right think. Again, RAVEN thanks for your compassion to do the right thing and let us have another repair company come which YOU DID NOT DO!!!!

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield after submitting a claim due to lightning hitting my house. I had City First Electric LLC come out to ensure no wires were fried. The process of filing the claim was relatively easy, but getting a technician to come out took about a month, which was quite frustrating. When the technician arrived, I was not impressed. He simply opened the panel and checked the breaker with a meter, which I could have done myself. I expected more thorough testing, something more sophisticated to check for potentially fried wires, but that wasn't the case.

    In the past, I've had good experiences with American Home Shield, particularly when they quickly took care of a heating system issue. But this recent experience was disappointing, leading me to give them a 3 out of 5 overall. Communication with the technicians seemed lacking, and scheduling was a nightmare, with consistent transfers and delays. Additionally, canceling the service was difficult, involving multiple transfers between retention departments, though they eventually offered me some free service months. It was only slightly redeemed by the relative ease of filing a claim. I would caution others, especially those in rural areas, about the potential for extended wait times and difficulties in securing a local technician.

    My washing machine started leaking, and I submitted a claim through American Home Shield. The process was relatively easy. The contractor was quite professional, although there was some delay in receiving the parts needed for the repair. Eventually, I was offered a new washing machine, and the process of selecting and receiving the new unit was efficient.

    I've been with American Home Shield since we bought our house around 24 years ago. What stands out as a concern is the limited number of available contractors, particularly for plumbing services. Additionally, the service is quite costly now, at $150 monthly.

    Regarding overall customer service, American Home Shield is responsive when you first report a problem, but they often don't follow through without persistent follow-up from their clients. While it's not too difficult to reach a customer representative, it requires continually requesting one during calls. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd rate their customer service at about a 4, although reaching online resources poses some difficulties. I had some problems once trying to find what other plans they had.

    I do appreciate that they have replaced items such as my washing machine and stove over the years, but the high cost and lack of contractor variety are significant drawbacks. If considering American Home Shield, be prepared for potential follow-up on claims and evaluate whether the cost aligns with your expectations for home warranty services.

    My recent experience with American Home Shield has been frustrating. I've had a couple of repair issues that date back to November or December, and they remain unresolved. When H&K Plumbing came to fix problems with my toilet and sink, they seemed respectful and did an initial job, but the toilet issue reoccurred, and there's water under my sink again. I'm still waiting for them to come back to resolve these problems.

    I also had a disappointing experience with Chesapeake Appliances. They installed a part for my ice maker, but it seems the fridge is not cooling properly. They failed to submit a report to American Home Shield, so I had to call them multiple times, with no resolution so far. This situation is not acceptable, as the repairs are not being done effectively, and trying to contact American Home Shield itself can be a challenge.

    I used to have good experiences with American Home Shield years ago, but my recent encounters have been far from satisfactory. I'm extremely dissatisfied with the response times and the overall service quality. I appreciate the customer service on the phone, but the contractors and the process of dealing with repairs have been deeply frustrating. I need my issues resolved effectively and promptly, as leaving work frequently is not an option for me. At this point, I'm not sure how much longer I'll continue with American Home Shield, although they were better in the past.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been overwhelmingly negative. Initially, when I had issues with my heater, I waited nine months in the cold before anything was done. Even when they attempted repairs, the problems persisted over the years without resolution. More recently, I faced issues with my garage door opener. The company they sent was unprepared. They didn't have the right tools the first time, and I had to give them some of my tools. Then they claimed unfairly that parts needing replacement weren't covered, demanding an additional $900.

    American Home Shield said they only have one company in all of the DC area that works on garage door openers so they denied giving a second opinion. I got a new garage door opener and didn't change any of those parts for the door. The other company said I didn't need springs and the rollers are old, but they'll work. I just needed a new garage door opener.

    Communication has been another challenge. I requested a supervisor's call but received calls at unreasonable hours instead. Despite specifying no calls after 4:30 PM, I still haven't managed to speak with a supervisor. Customer service has been frustrating, with only agents from the Philippines available unless you're a realtor with special privileges.

    Overall, American Home Shield's service has been dissatisfactory and unresponsive to my needs. The experience feels unfair, with different standards for various customers, and I'm still waiting for proper resolution to ongoing issues.

    I recently faced a frustrating experience with American Home Shield regarding a plumbing issue in my home. We had what seemed like a typical backup in the plumbing system, which started causing water to overflow into our downstairs sink. This backup was so severe that it began to damage our sink basin. Despite the obvious problem, American Home Shield only covered a minimal initial intervention, which did not solve the problem. The plumber they sent suggested that a more extensive repair was needed, but American Home Shield denied further coverage.

    This house was built in the early '70s, and we've had to replace sections of pipe before due to rust and rot. This particular plumbing issue seems linked to the washer, causing significant inconvenience, yet it remains unresolved. While the technician was courteous and gave us his card, the company's response was disappointing. We decided to tackle the issue ourselves, which means bearing the cost of installing a clean-out and rerouting the drain.

    This wasn't the first time I felt let down by their service. I purchased the coverage with the expectation it would assist with plumbing issues, especially since our locality has a lot of older infrastructure. Unfortunately, when it came to the core reason for purchasing insurance, American Home Shield fell short. We might consider other options in the future, as we reflect on what we initially sought versus what was delivered. The technician was punctual and polite, which was a positive part of the experience, but it didn't outweigh the overall dissatisfaction with the service.

    I have been using American Home Shield, and my experience has generally been positive, though there have been a few challenges with some of the contractors they send out. For instance, one technician worked on our heater and, after completing the job, mentioned that cleaning the contacts would cost an additional $200. Although I agreed to it, he completed the task in five minutes, which felt like being overcharged. Similarly, with our refrigerator, the technician did the necessary work but then informed me that cleaning the back vent would require an extra fee. These instances highlight the need to be vigilant about what is covered by the warranty and what isn't.

    On a positive note, some technicians have been excellent. For example, a woman who repaired our oven did so with great skill and professionalism.

    We first chose American Home Shield because our son had them and was satisfied with the service. Generally, when submitting a claim, they follow up within a day or two, and you just need to call to initiate the process. Following my refrigerator repair, the appliance has been functioning well.

    Overall, I would recommend American Home Shield with caution. I'd rate the experience a 4 out of 5, mainly due to some contractor issues. Their customer service and the warranty coverage are sufficient, though I'd call the pricing just average, deserving a 3 out of 5. If you are considering a home warranty service, I'd suggest weighing the costs and benefits for your specific needs.

    My experiences with American Home Shield have had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The claims process was fairly simple, and they handled the transaction efficiently. The contractors they sent were generally very good and were able to fix everything for the most part. However, I faced repeated problems with my fridge, which they attempted to repair multiple times using different contractors. They continually refused to replace it, despite this being part of the contract, which was frustrating.

    Additionally, when I canceled my contract, the representative provided a cancellation letter with the wrong date. Despite my request to correct it, they failed to do so. Although it wasn't a significant issue for me personally, it reflected a lapse in their customer service. I believe they have an obligation to provide accurate and up-to-date information, even to former clients.

    Overall, these experiences left me very dissatisfied, leading to a low recommendation score.

    I got some dishwasher that needed a repair, then a microwave oven's door got broken. The techs came and replaced the microwave door. Then they did multiple troubleshooting with this dishwasher. They ordered some parts and they came again. They tried the parts but the dishwasher was still not working. On the fourth visit, they said they couldn’t fix the issue and that it looked like it needed to be replaced. That was what they submitted to AHS and so far, they have yet to replace it. I called them last time but they never called me back. I need to re-call them again about this. I've been with AHS for more than a year and a half and whenever I submit a claim, everything has gone smoothly. I refer my friends to them and usually, they give some discount or offer to my friends. But I need to work with them about the pay thing. Despite that, the pricing thing is perfect and it looks like they offer good deals to other friends.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield and submitted a claim for a garbage disposal issue. I bought my house a couple of years ago, and apparently, the disposal wasn't replaced when they flipped the house. The process of submitting the claim was straightforward, and the contractor who came in was efficient — they got the job done quickly, without any complications. Most of my interactions with American Home Shield's contractors have been positive. However, there was an instance right before Thanksgiving when our oven was leaking gas. This was quite an ordeal because we couldn't get a contractor for over a week due to limited partnerships, specifically with Aurora appliance repair. As a result, we weren't sure if we'd have a functioning oven for the holiday, which was frustrating.

    On the upside, once repairs are completed, everything works as intended, and I've never needed anyone to return to fix the same issue twice. This provides some peace of mind, especially owning an older home. One area that could use improvement is customer support. It seems outsourced, likely to India or Pakistan, and the language barrier can make it nearly impossible to communicate specific home issues effectively. This is particularly challenging when trying to troubleshoot urgent problems. I work for a large corporation and understand these challenges, but it can still be frustrating when dealing with home-related stresses. The main downsides are the difficulty in communication and the limited availability of certain contractors, which can lead to delays.

    My experience with American Home Shield was mixed. I had a challenging situation with my heating system where Fletcher Heating and Air had to visit six times before resolving the issue. Initially, they misdiagnosed the problem as rust and then a faulty circuit board. After several visits and an uncomfortable period without heat, they eventually admitted the system to be worn out and replaced it. Despite their persistence in trying to fix the issue, the journey felt frustrating and unprofessional at times. Earlier in the summer, they also struggled with my air conditioning system, involving numerous visits and significant out-of-pocket expenses for Freon, which was not fully covered by American Home Shield. This situation was particularly concerning given that my home is quite high-end, and I expected a more precise and efficient service.

    Over the course of dealing with them, I also had to call upon other professionals to resolve issues more cost-effectively, casting doubt on whether Fletcher Heating and Air were fully prepared for the job. I continue to sell American Home Shield policies, appreciating their potential value, though my personal encounters with the contractors have made me apprehensive about recommending their network without reservation.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield regarding a dishwasher repair that has been quite frustrating. The process to fix it has taken a great deal of time. Initially, a technician came in and claimed to have fixed it, but it wasn't resolved, as the dishwasher started shutting off early. They returned, diagnosed a need to replace the control board, which they did, yet the dishwasher still wasn't working due to a pump issue that occurred right after. They ordered additional parts and were scheduled to return on Monday, which extended the repair period significantly.

    I believe the contractors are capable, but it seems like they are instructed to stop work if they encounter any issues until they get further approval. This process has caused delays. Submitting a claim with American Home Shield was straightforward, but the requirement for the contractors to order parts through American Home Shield, wait for them to arrive before scheduling further work, adds to the delay. While American Home Shield has saved us money, the coordination between them and the contractors has been frustrating, especially with the repair taking so long, notably during the holiday period.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield regarding a claim for my dishwasher. A technician from Sears assessed the issue and stated that it was wear and tear, which they claimed wasn't covered by my plan. But in my view, the noise issue shouldn't be considered regular wear and tear.

    Despite this, I appreciated that they scheduled the inspection promptly, even though it was during the holiday period right after Thanksgiving. Although I didn't follow up with American Home Shield to dispute this claim since I wasn't using the appliance often and the 30-day window to report further issues passed, I still feel the classification of the issue was a bit unfair.

    My experience with American Home Shield was the worst I've ever had. Initially, everything seemed promising. They were prompt in assigning Freedom Heating to our claim, and the technician arrived on time, acting nice and courteous. However, he said he didn’t have the necessary parts and would have to order them. After that, we never heard from him again. For 3.5 to four weeks, my husband and I repeatedly reached out to both Freedom Heating and American Home Shield, but with no resolution.

    The customer service at American Home Shield was shockingly poor. We were constantly told to wait longer for an update. Despite being the ones freezing in our home, at one point customer service claimed we were ignoring the calls of the technician, which was an outright lie.

    Eventually, we discovered the issue ourselves: a wasp nest in the flue pipe, which was much simpler than the technician's incorrect diagnosis. We resolved the problem on our own, which shouldn’t have been necessary.

    Overall, it was a disappointing experience with both Freedom Heating and American Home Shield. This wasn't the first time we faced issues with them; even our new unit installation had been problematic. We chose American Home Shield because of their past high ratings, but they fell far short of expectations. The inability to choose our own local, trusted service providers was a significant issue, as their chosen ones provided subpar service and blatant lies.

    Recently, I had a claim where Service Pro Heating and Air came out to service our system. Initially, the first contractor could not identify the issue and suggested replacement, which was unnecessary. However, American Home Shield sent a second contractor, and after a couple of visits, they replaced a part related to the suction lines and resolved the issue. I appreciate that American Home Shield offers the opportunity for a second opinion, recognizing the varying skill levels among technicians.

    In the past, I've encountered amusing situations with contractors, like one technician looking at the wrong unit because it was old and non-functioning. However, American Home Shield quickly addressed the mix-up and sent a competent technician for repairs.

    I particularly value the stability and longevity of American Home Shield. In a market with many fleeting companies, their presence and reliability over the years are reassuring. They have significantly improved their service by notifying customers with texts about technician visits and sharing technician details, enhancing the customer experience.

    While I find the annual cost to be increasing, it aligns with the general rise in material and labor costs, so I do not begrudge it. Personally, I prefer contacting them by phone, which they manage excellently, over using their website, which I haven't had much success with.

    Overall, I consider American Home Shield to be the premier company for home warranties, backed by strong customer service and a long-standing reputation.

    I recently had the chance to use my American Home Shield service for a plumbing issue, and my experience was quite positive. About a month ago, I encountered a leaking refrigerator situation, which was handled efficiently by Paramount Plumbing. Earlier, I was told by my regular plumber that I needed a new toilet. Remembering my American Home Shield policy, I reached out and they sent someone from Paramount, who fixed the toilet in just ten minutes. Although I had to pay a $100 service fee, it was definitely worth it compared to the potential cost of a full toilet replacement.

    The technician was excellent and provided valuable advice about my policy, explaining that replacements are often builder-grade or a small monetary amount. While I initially hoped for more, like a bidet upgrade for resale purposes, his guidance was honest and appreciated. After this, when my refrigerator leaked, the same technician referred an excellent specialist, ensuring all my issues were resolved. I've had the policy for about three to four years and, prior to this, had a similarly positive experience with an AAA policy. Overall, my experience with AHS has been outstanding, and I would confidently rate it highly.

    I encountered an issue with my dryer where it wasn't heating or tumbling, so I contacted American Home Shield (AHS). They informed me that Sears would handle the service, but Sears couldn't schedule a visit until the end of September, which was a month and a half away. That wait was too long, so I called AHS again, and they found a local contractor who managed to come out just two days later and fix everything promptly.

    While dealing with Sears, I repeatedly tried to cancel their service, but kept receiving notifications about parts being delayed. Even after informing them that the repair was already done, I got automated responses.

    The local contractor who eventually fixed my dryer did an excellent job. They explained the problem clearly and ordered parts that arrived quickly, completing the repairs in about a week.

    Overall, I would rate my experience with American Home Shield as a 4 out of 5. They respond quickly to my needs and generally find quick local solutions, but I had to contact them several times to receive a hard copy of my renewed contract, which was frustrating. Despite this, I find their service to be a good value for the price, and I would recommend them to others. All the repair professionals they've sent have been fantastic, very professional, and explained everything well.

    I recently had two service calls from OKC Appliance King LLC, and both experiences were remarkably positive. Scott, who runs the business, came to my home twice over the past year or two. The most recent issue involved my washing machine, which wouldn't spin the water out of the clothes. Scott managed to fix it swiftly by disassembling and reassembling the tub, showing exceptional skill. Previously, he had repaired my dryer by replacing the timer. In contrast to other vendors sent by American Home Shield, who were either hard to schedule or slow to respond, OKC Appliance King has consistently delivered quick and efficient service.

    As for American Home Shield, I have been a customer for 25 years. While my overall experience has been positive, I'm concerned about the annual increase in policy prices. This makes me reconsider if I should put that money into a savings account for home maintenance instead. While I would rate my experience with American Home Shield about 4 or 4.5 stars, their customer service deserves a 4-star rating, mainly because of the broader selection of vendors like OKC Appliance King.

    In summary, if you're in need of appliance repairs, I highly recommend OKC Appliance King over other vendors provided by American Home Shield. The efficiency and professionalism I've experienced with them are unmatched.

    I recently had a rather frustrating experience with American Home Shield. A third-party company came to check my AC, but I specifically requested they only check the freon outside, as everything else was running fine in the house. They insisted on checking my attic despite my early morning request not to disturb my family inside. This led to an argument, and they left without performing the service, for which I was still charged.

    On another occasion with American Home Shield, I had my water heater replaced after it leaked. The approval process took over a week, and I ended up paying out-of-pocket to a provider who overcharged me $3,500. Overall, while I've been with American Home Shield for some time and had a few successful services in the past, the hiccups and additional costs have been off-putting. Despite the challenges, I would still consider recommending them as they've been reliable before, though their service and cost increases need improvement.

    I recently had a service experience with American Home Shield regarding my garage door. The remote controls stopped working, along with the panel, so I reached out to them with a claim. I spoke with an agent over the phone, and while it was easy to get through to someone, finding a representative who understood my issue was a bit more challenging.

    I have American Home Shield coverage for five houses, including my property in Seattle, Washington, where I recently had a plumbing issue. There was a pipe with a loose cap that needed tightening, which the plumber dispatched by American Home Shield handled well.

    Overall, my experience with the technicians from American Home Shield has been good. However, there was one situation with a refrigerator that had condensation issues. The technician visited multiple times, attempting to fix it, and eventually replaced the gasket, thinking the air was getting in. However, 43 days after the replacement, the problem persisted. When I contacted American Home Shield, they informed me that since it was beyond their 30-day period, I had to pay an additional $100 for another visit. I was disappointed because it was a continuation of the same issue, not a new one, due to a misdiagnosis. Eventually, they replaced the refrigerator, which I appreciated, but I felt the extra $100 charge was unnecessary.

    I believe American Home Shield should make exceptions to the 30-day rule in cases of misdiagnosis like this. Despite this, I've been generally satisfied with their service over the years, having handled many claims for my multiple properties.

    I've been using American Home Shield for about nine years now. Initially, I switched to them because they offered reasonable pricing and covered more items than my previous service. Their service is generally reliable in terms of sending someone out to fix things when something breaks down, which I appreciate. However, I'm frustrated with hidden costs, particularly modifications that aren't covered. For example, during a repair on my air handler unit in the attic, I was told modifications were needed, like new fittings for air ducts and other fittings that I later realized weren't replaced. They charged me a significant amount for these so-called modifications that weren't even done.

    This issue is common with the contractors they send out, who seem to bid low initially to get the work and then charge extra through these modifications. In my case, I'd sometimes end up paying more for alleged modifications than the actual cost of the repair. On a Freon, American Home Shield will pay the first 2 pounds and after that, I’ll still pay $200 or $300 for them to fill it back up if the Freon is leaking.

    Customer service is decent, often rated four out of five. They're helpful, but when it comes to modifications, their hands are tied, and I have to bear the cost. This has been an ongoing issue, and I might just start saving the money I spend on premiums to pay for repairs myself, as it'll likely save me more in the long run. Overall, I would caution others about these hidden costs if considering American Home Shield.

    I have had extremely frustrating experiences with American Home Shield (AHS). I recently had a claim due to an issue with an ice maker, which I needed to resolve quickly due to legal obligations towards my tenants. Unfortunately, it took around 4-5 days just to dispatch a contractor because the initial company wouldn't return. Ultimately, the issue was a simple kink in the line, which should have been addressed sooner.

    The service process involves a lot of hassle, and the contractors they send aren't always the most professional or timely. Once, there were even background noises of chickens during a call, which left me questioning the legitimacy of the service call. The lack of prompt and professional service has caused me to incur additional costs because my tenants are legally allowed to fix issues and bill me if not resolved swiftly by AHS. This has made my role as a landlord unnecessarily complicated, and it has cost me time and money. As a real estate professional, I find the lack of reliable service unacceptable, and I would strongly advise my clients against using AHS for their home warranty needs. Overall, my experiences with AHS have been negative, with significant delays and miscommunications. I am actively seeking a better service provider to avoid further issues.

Initially, the first technician who came out was unable to resolve the issue, citing non-wear and tear reasons. Unfortunately, I have had a similar lackluster experience with the same company before. However, the second technician was excellent, providing quick and efficient service.

    Generally, my experiences with technicians from American Home Shield have been positive, except for the recurring issue with the first company. I have two accounts with them, one in Florida and another in New Jersey. I noticed that for the New Jersey account, the cost increased significantly—it started around $120 but soon jumped to $180 without much notice. This steep and frequent pricing adjustment is becoming nearly unaffordable, and I intend to look into this.

    American Home Shield does meet my needs; however, if I find a better price elsewhere, I might consider switching. Using their online platform to submit claims has been straightforward and user-friendly.

However, I recently had a frustrating experience with a refrigerator repair that took 4 to 5 months to resolve. The refrigerator was leaking water, and after contacting American Home Shield, they sent Sears to assess the situation. Sears evaluated the issue and initially said parts needed to be ordered.

    Updated on 02/03/2025: The only thing that improved was being given the option of cashing out. If this site allowed me to, I would reduce my rating to 1 star. AHS is shady; they do not provide clear, detailed responses to reasonable questions. More background: Their original offer was to replace the furnace, but I have to pay out of pocket $5050 for "non covered items". I remain unable to get clarification from them on what exactly is meant by "non-covered items." For the cash out option, AHS is only willing to reimburse me a little less than $1500 for the work. They claim that "Several modifications are needed to bring the system up to code which AHS does not cover for." and that "there is a certain contract limit that this value will meet."

    To be clear, $1500 will NOT cover the cost of a furnace and my policy states they will cover costs up to $15,000. I asked for clarification on what they meant by a contract limit, but they will not answer the question. I have also requested details on the "modifications are needed to bring the system up to code," but they will not provide me with those details.

    Their responses are vague and non-specific. I had a heating company come out and quote me a new unit and $1500 doesn't come close to paying for it. I also asked the heating company to tell me if there were any code-related updates needed and they said yes, but it is small things that will cost less than $200. My AHS contract allows $250 for code compliance coverage. All-in-all this has been a horrible experience. I do not feel like a valued customer of AHS and I do not feel like I am getting the value out of them that I have paid them. I would not recommend them to any other homeowners.

    Original Review: I filed a claim with American Home Shield to replace my furnace, as there was a crack in the heat exchanger causing carbon monoxide release due to age and wear and tear. Unfortunately, they've been difficult to work with, refusing to cover it, despite it being a covered issue. There's no clear way to discuss or contest their decision.

    When it came to working with the contractor, the experience was positive and problem-free. In the past, I've had smaller repairs done through American Home Shield, like a garbage disposal replacement, which went smoothly.

    However, I’m starting to question the value of the warranty, as the main reason for purchasing it was to have coverage for significant repairs, and I'm finding it challenging to get them to fulfill this. Overall, I would only rate my experience as a 2 out of 5.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been mixed over the years. I've been a customer since 1992, drawn mainly by the efficient and skilled subcontractors they contract with. The online process to submit claims is straightforward, and I appreciate receiving email notifications about the contractors, like AC Rescue INC, who handled my recent air conditioning issue with promptness and expertise.

    However, American Home Shield's customer service leaves much to be desired. Long wait times on calls and under-informed representatives can be frustrating. As far as calling and talking to them, it's almost impossible or sometimes you get someone that you can't understand and they don't understand what you're trying to explain to them. It's particularly troubling when trying to replace items; poor communication and unexpected out-of-pocket expenses have been an issue. I've had to replace an AC unit before and I ended up having to come out of my pocket on top of my annual fee to get that replaced. Despite the service fee increase from $75 to $100, I continue with American Home Shield because of the quality of the subcontractors. The coverage and service from American Home Shield overall earn a mediocre rating from me, but their contractors deserve high praise.

    I had an experience with American Home Shield regarding the hot water heater in our condo that we purchased a year and a half ago. The original heater, which was about 20 years old, stopped working. It's in the attic which was an added expense. Unfortunately, American Home Shield did not cover the full replacement cost. We ended up paying over $3000 for removal of the old unit and installation of a new, better quality one that came with an 8-year warranty. We only received $450 from American Home Shield.

    Submitting a claim was quite painful, and the experience with their contractors was mixed. One contractor who serviced our dishwasher about a year ago was very knowledgeable and experienced—the kind of person we'd hire ourselves. However, the others seemed inexperienced and didn't know what they were talking about..

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield regarding a claim for my water heater, which burst and caused a mess in my home. High Priority Plumbing and Services Inc., referred by American Home Shield, came to address the issue. Although they fixed the water heater, I later discovered they left a gas leak, which resulted in me having to go to the emergency room due to shortness of breath. When the gas leak was eventually addressed, I was understandably frustrated as I had to spend days inhaling gas before they sent someone to fix it.

    Despite these issues, I've had American Home Shield for about three years after being referred by a friend. I appreciate that they have consistently sent someone out for each service request, unlike other service warranties I've used. However, the communication can be challenging, often involving language barriers that require repeated explanations.

From the beginning, the first company said my oven needed to be replaced, but American Home Shield wouldn't do it and they sent out somebody else and went through the same thing again. The most recent company was great when they would come out. They were responsive and replaced the parts, but it wouldn't work. We went through two rounds of that before my oven was finally replaced. My first claim was in May, but it wasn't deemed non-repairable until a week after Thanksgiving, which was way too long.

    My experience with American Home Shield (AHS) has been positive this time around. Initially, my garage door wouldn't close completely—it would only go down a bit before coming back up. Sometimes, it used to happen in summer, but it was mostly related to the cold weather. The first repair people said it was a common issue, especially in colder weather, and showed me which two screws to adjust in such cases. They were gone in less than five minutes and at that time, the garage door seemed to be working. However, the issue recurred a few days later and was worse; the garage door just would not close fully even after few tries. If I have to close my garage door, I have to keep pushing the button for it to completely close.

    When I requested a second service, the technician checked a few things and discovered a loose wire on one side, which might have been entirely disconnected. He fixed it, and since then, the garage door has been functioning well, even during the cold winter months.

    I've had American Home Shield for about a year, and I appreciate the process. The online booking system minimizes human intervention. If I have any issues, I book online, then immediately, I get emails and I am assigned the service person immediately. Both times I did a service request, I was told that somebody would contact me within 24 hours. When there was a delay in contacting me within 24 hours, a quick phone call resolved it, and I secured an appointment promptly.

    I've used American Home Shield for about 12 years, and I've always been satisfied with their service. Recently, we had an issue, and Sears handled it. The repair representative was punctual, communicative, and efficient, fixing the issue in less than half an hour. Submitting the claim was straightforward, with no troubles at all. I simply filed a claim, and they dispatched a technician who repaired everything.

    I highly recommend American Home Shield to friends and family. It's been worth the money spent, as the service provided has been impeccable. The convenience of knowing that the service I pay for is handled professionally and promptly is what I like most. Honestly, I don't see any need for improvement based on my experiences.

    Overall, I rate their customer service, price, coverage, and website as excellent.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield regarding a plumbing issue. I had a couple of leaky faucets, and they sent a technician who was polite and did a good job. Generally, my experiences with American Home Shield have been consistent, but I do have a couple of observations.

    Previously, I had an ac problem that took about four days to resolve because they were waiting for a part. This was inconvenient, especially in the Arizona summer. However, my recent plumbing issue was addressed the next day, indicating some improvement in their response time.

    One concern is their price increase notifications; I did receive one this year, but it feels like the service's value doesn't quite match the price. I rated them 2 stars for value and 3 stars overall, considering the delayed ac repair and price increase. For the online experience and the coverage they provide, I gave them a 3. I'm hearing a lot of stories from other people. They don't cover a lot of things.

    I submitted a claim with American Home Shield, and the plumbing company they sent out made a hole in my ceiling in the basement where the leak was coming from. They cut out some drywall but didn't repair it, so I ended up with another plumbing company, Hydrant LLC. Despite this, I find the American Home Shield claims process standardized and easy. I didn't receive any information about the contractors before they showed up; I was just told which company would be handling the work order and to expect a call from them.

    I had a bad experience with the first plumber. The person didn't speak English and communicated by sticking his phone in my face, as if he was telling me to read. I asked for someone who understands English, and though the next plumber understood, he couldn't fix the issue. Finally, the third plumber identified and corrected the problem. Despite these contractor issues, I would still rate American Home Shield a 5 as they connect me with the right people, given it's not their fault on the company's part. Customer support is okay—they handle my deductible and quickly connect me with a technician.

    What I like about American Home Shield is the extra protection it provides, especially as a first-time homeowner. I've had my property almost four years, and to this day, I don't have a handyman. They connect me with companies that do the work and guarantee the work done. I would recommend American Home Shield to family and neighbors as a good added piece of insurance to have, especially if they're a homeowner.

    I have a pool company that comes out weekly and if they see something wrong, then I toss it over to Home Shield. I go online and fill out what I need. It has options, whether it's a pump or something else, and I click on it, then they assign a repair company to come out. The ease or difficulty of the process depends on what I'm dealing with, but so far, with my pool, it's always easy.

    I've been with American Home Shield a long time and any time something goes wrong with my pool, Expertpools does it. They always do a good job. At one point, they looked at the manifold and fixed something inside and changed some grids. I like it when American Home Shield saves me money. Sometimes, they follow through and sometimes they don't, but I've figured out who to call.

    I recently had a plumbing issue addressed by Pronto Plumbing through my American Home Shield warranty. The entire process was seamless and resolved my problem effectively. I set up the service request online, an approach I found trouble-free. If recommending to a friend, I'd certainly suggest using American Home Shield, especially the online setup for service requests.

    Since the repair, I haven't faced any further issues with my plumbing. Although overall I had a positive experience, my main critique is that American Home Shield could improve the clarity of their warranty coverage. In terms of customer service, I've consistently found it excellent, and their online services are quite user-friendly. Pricing, on the other hand, might have room for improvement.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield that was quite frustrating. Our air conditioning unit was replaced during the summer in June or July, and when the temperatures dropped, we found out we weren't getting any heat from the newly replaced unit. When I contacted the company that originally installed it, they directed me back to American Home Shield. So, I ended up having to pay a $100 fee for a technician, only to find out the issue was simply a switch that wasn't turned to let the gas through by the those who installed it in July.

    Submitting a claim was easy and the instructions were straightforward, but it was annoying to have to pay again for something so minor. On the positive side, the contractors sent out by American Home Shield have always been great. I've never had any issues with them. However, I do wish there was a way to speak directly with a representative, especially for straightforward issues like mine.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield when my furnace started having issues; it would start but not stay on. Initially, I set up my request by calling them. The customer service was just OK, and I had to ask for a supervisor because it wasn't my first issue with my cooling system. The first company they sent out tampered with things but never fully fixed the problem. When I called American Home Shield again, they tried to charge me another service fee. However, the supervisor waived the fee because they acknowledged the prior issue, and that was a relief.

    The supervisor was accommodating and understanding, and in the end, they had to replace a large part of my furnace since it was still under warranty. The repair was successful, and my furnace has been working perfectly since then. If someone were to ask about my experience, I would tell them the whole scenario but advise them to understand what's covered and what isn't before having someone come out.

    American Home Shield sent someone out to look at the exhaust fan in the bathroom. That person said, “You need a new motor.” They scheduled to come back at a later date, and they replaced the motor. They were prompt and very professional. They didn't take long, so they knew what they were doing. The exhaust fan works well.

    I like that I pay $30 a month and I don't have an issue with paying because I got a deal. Everything is covered, which I can hopefully keep, because with everything being expensive, it is nice to have something affordable to pay, and I pay the $125, and AHS would send someone out. That is good and cheaper than having to pay hundreds of dollars to get something fixed in my home. As long as it's affordable, I will stay. You should do it. It's good to have home insurance. The contractor agencies were very prompt with sending me emails and phone calls to make sure that things got scheduled around my schedule, calling me when they were on their way.

    I recently had a very frustrating experience with American Home Shield. My most recent claim was for our dryer, which required the technician to come out three separate times. Each visit seemed to create a new issue. The most stressful part was having to put in a recall notice with AHS to get the company back, as it was the technician, not AHS, that caused further issues. The process was such a mess and caused me a significant amount of stress.

    I went through a similar ordeal with our air conditioning unit. The technician came out three times and failed to fix the issue, so we eventually had to call another company to resolve it. Despite paying $100 each time, the problem was never properly addressed. One contractor, Complete Air of Ormond Beach, was particularly rude and incompetent. However, the technician for the dryer was professional and attempted to correct the issues they had caused. The cost of the service is too high, considering the quality of the contractors they use. I'm exploring other companies as I'm quite dissatisfied.

    American Home Shield sent out All Points Plumbing to address a leaking toilet and a faucet that needed replacement. I submitted the repair claim through their website and followed up with a call. The website is somewhat average in terms of ease of use – I'd rate it a 3 out of 5.

    Before the contractor came out, I was given the company's name and phone number. I contacted them directly to arrange a visit. During the service, All Points Plumbing needed a few days to get permission for the replacement and repairs, but they eventually replaced the inside of the toilet and the fixture. Everything is functioning fine now.

    I have been using American Home Shield since 2017, and my experience has been mixed. I reached out to them by phone about a persistent sump pump issue I've been experiencing for over a year. The customer service has been fine, but the resolution of the issue has been frustrating. They've sent out plumbers about 5 or 6 times, changing the sump pump multiple times, but the problem persists. Each plumber has given me a different explanation, which complicates matters. The real issue with American Home Shield is that if the problem recurs after more than 30 days, I have to pay another service fee, which I find unfair because I'm already paying a monthly insurance premium.

    On the other hand, they've done other work for me without issues in the past.

    Several times, they made it super difficult to cancel your contract, they refused to give a confirmation number or email stating you canceled your AHS contract. They put you on a resolution services line with no actual number you can call as it goes through a call center; thus, if they hang up on you, which they did a few times with me, you have to start the process again. Being tenacious, I called over and over again. They guaranteed to send me an email the last two times showing my contract was canceled; guess what? It was not; the last phone call, they promised it was canceled, and there was no further need to do anything; my wife called to check, and guess what? The contract was still active, but they promised it was closed, and I should be receiving a $65 refund; also, out of the blue, they said I needed to sign a form stating I canceled.

    Hold on...They verified it was me calling, and now they never said I needed a form to fill out, another delay tactic; I played along and stated, please email it now while on the phone. I waited, and they said it was sent out. Guess what? No email. Another fact for you all experiencing this out-of-country domain highway robbery is simply canceling the payments through your banking or credit card company. They are snake oil salesman. The installers they send are constantly complaining about the poor management of dispatching, etc.

    Do not accept that they have canceled your contract as they are told to delay and impede the process so you can give up. This is your hard-earned money, and you need to put a stop to their theft and hiking rates at will. In one month with no notice, my rate went from $58 to $78 per month, a 26% hike with no notice. There is more, but as you can see from the countless poor reviews, this company needs to be brought into the spotlight for its bad business practices and let justice by the people have the final say.

    This company is a scam. My well pump broke down and we were without water and they sent a con artist "Proservice Hvac & Plumbing" to come inspect it days later. He said it was broken but insisted on trying to sell me a new water tank too for 6k, but I would have to wait a week without water for them to have time to come do the work. This was 2x the cost of what my own water service company would charge.

    AHS said they would do cash in lieu, but are now denying it as the scam "technician" did not send in the report. I believe he waited two months to send in the report out of spite for me hiring my own guys. I needed water! It has been two months and countless phone calls later and AHS are still fighting it. Now the scam technician sends in a report and only mentions the water tank (which is not covered) and does not mention the well pump (which is covered) out of spite for not working with him. Now we have to keep chasing to get the full report, but of course AHS puts that onus on me instead of doing their job.

    AHS will make you call into a foreign call center for each communication, which takes 15+ minutes to get through to a human and then the person has no idea of what's going on each time and then does nothing to follow up, so they try to waste as much of your time as possible to hope you give up.

    I recently had a claim with American Home Shield regarding my AC. Initially, there was no power to the thermostat. I submitted my claim through their app, which was adequate for the task. The contractors from All American AC and Heating LLC were very knowledgeable. They informed me that while they fixed the heat, the AC still required additional parts due to a shorted board. Unfortunately, since my unit is 25 years old, the parts might take a while to arrive, and they couldn't provide an estimated time.

    Despite not being home during their visit, a friend confirmed that the contractors did a good job. They took care of everything. The unit is working. I've been with American Home Shield for about 5-6 years to protect my aging home appliances. I would confidently rate their service a 5 out of 5, as they've consistently resolved my issues promptly. I appreciate the peace of mind their coverage offers, and although their pricing is creeping up, I'd still rate it a 4 out of 5. Overall, their service has been dependable, and I'd recommend American Home Shield.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield and their partnered service provider, World Class Air, for a yearly tune-up of my HVAC system. The scheduling was straightforward; I contacted American Home Shield, and they coordinated the visit as part of my annual plan. The service itself was quick and efficient for the tune-up specifically, and I would rate it highly for that part.

    However, when it comes to my overall satisfaction with American Home Shield, I'm quite displeased. Although this particular service call was fine, my broader experiences with them have been problematic. I might even consider canceling my policies due to ongoing issues and what I feel has been a bait-and-switch with pricing. For those reasons, I wouldn't recommend them overall at this time.

    I am a long time customer of AHS and have mixed reviews. They have fixed several issues with my previous home but every major repair or replacement came with significant delay not to mention the challenge in getting them to cover the repair at all. They are great with the little repairs but horrible with major repairs. Make every excuse not to cover the problem. This go around my water heater went completely out on a Saturday. They assigned it to a contractor in a different state that could not come out until the following Tuesday to even look at the water heater. I don’t know about the rest of the world but I work for a living and take a shower daily. It’s January in Maryland where an ice cold shower would not be conducive to my health.

    In the meantime I made one phone call to a local plumber and they came out the same day and replaced the broken water heater. AHS refused to approve the contractor forcing me to pay out of pocket. Customer Service refused to let me speak with a manager and advised they sent an email request and they would get back to me in two business days. Just horrible service experience. I honestly would not recommend this company to anyone.

    I would NOT recommend AHS unless you have an abundance of time to waste and extra money to spend. 1. Without any notice they increased my monthly charge for our policy. 2. We spend $125 for service calls which wouldn't be problematic IF the service calls they sent out actually were for legitimate companies but I would say most are not. Sometimes it can be weeks worth of waiting to get a single company to come out. 3. They DO NOT value loyalty with customers. I just got off the phone with Rose in customer relations at AHS as well as Sheekie and they will not honor a lower monthly plan cost (for the same plan I currently have that also is lower service fee cost) that they are advertising. If you have other options, I would choose another option besides AHS.

    I had an experience with American Home Shield regarding a claim for my oven, which wasn’t heating up. I submitted the claim online through their site, and the process was straightforward. They promptly communicated via text, providing details about the contractor, Texas Gulf Coast Service Center, including the date and time of their visit.

    This was actually the second company to address the issue. Initially, sears was assigned, but the technician was unable to fix the problem because he couldn't read the entire serial number. This seemed quite inefficient and frustrating, as it wasted my time and the claim had to be resubmitted to American Home Shield. However, the technician from Texas Gulf Coast Service Center was well-prepared and informed. He and I already knew what was wrong before he came, but he still identified that the igniter had gone out and resolved the issue effectively.

    Since the repair, the oven has been functioning well. Despite the initial hiccup with sears, I’d rate this overall experience with American Home Shield as very satisfactory, giving it a 5. I've been with American Home Shield for over five years, largely because I wanted warranty coverage after my original warranties expired. While I find their online service booking convenient, I think their phone service could be improved to make it easier to speak with a representative directly, avoiding numerous recordings.

    In terms of categories like customer service, coverage, and the website, I would rate them as 4. Overall, I've had a positive experience with American Home Shield, despite some areas needing improvement.

    I've had my ups and downs with American Home Shield, particularly with a recent issue involving my washer. When Kingston Refrigeration Company came out to assess the problem, the technician didn't have all the necessary tools to evaluate and fix it thoroughly. According to him, the washer drum was no longer round and needed replacement, along with a plastic gear. Unfortunately, he didn't have what was needed to access that gear, relying only on the washer's self-diagnostic tool in the end.

    American Home Shield replaced the washer for us, which was great. The drum probably would have cost as much as the thing. This was the second repair. In the last year and a half, that plastic gear went out not long after we had bought the house. American Home Shield sent out a fellow who had everything he needed. He was able to replace that gear that had broken. But again, he didn't fully diagnose the problem. We always noticed that that drum wasn't quite round. Every time we go into a spin cycle, the drum will wobble quite severely regardless of what you have in it.

    Apparently, they decided it was time to replace the machine but we waited two weeks for these folks to connect with us. We're senior citizens and we couldn't continue going without a washer. We went ahead and purchased the washer on our own and got home to find an email saying that American Home Shield was paying for it. We opted for another Maytag, purchased during a Black Friday sale, using a military discount, which allowed us to break even financially.

    Overall, I am quite satisfied with American Home Shield. I would rate them around 4 to 4.5 out of 5 for their service. They've always treated me well, despite being occasionally slow because of service providers. What I appreciate most is their ease of use and reliability, reflecting my long-term relationship with them. They're slightly more expensive than some competitors, but I've stayed with them for years because I trust their service.

    I submitted a claim with American Home Shield for an issue with our heating system. I filed the claim online, and I found their website easy to navigate, which made the process smooth. Before the contractor, Dawson Services, showed up, I received an email, a text, and a phone call informing me of the appointment details. This prompt communication was excellent as they updated me sooner than expected.

    When the contractors arrived, they were professional and thoroughly addressed the problem. The issue was a faulty thermostat which had caused our air conditioner to kick in erroneously, leading to further complications. Thankfully, they identified the potential for a more severe problem and fixed it, ensuring our heating was restored.

    I have been with American Home Shield since October, having switched from a previous service included with our home purchase. We chose them based on positive reviews from others, and I must say, we are very satisfied. The communication and ease of filing claims are standout features for me.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been quite frustrating. I recently had a service call with CJA Mechanical to address a heating issue. I waited around a week and a half for them to show up. They didn't call to schedule the appointment, so I had to reach out multiple times myself. When they finally arrived, I asked them to contact me upon arrival so I could discuss the issue, as it was for a property where I have a tenant. However, they didn't call and, according to my tenant, they were there for only a couple of seconds before leaving.

    I tried calling them for follow-up but got no response. When I contacted American Home Shield, they said they were reviewing the estimate. The next day, I was told that the report mentioned toxic materials in the house, and they couldn't enter even though the tenants said they did. This misleading information was frustrating. American Home Shield took about a week to resolve this issue, and communication was poor throughout.

    Eventually, after much insistence and contacting supervisors, they assigned another vendor. This new vendor contacted me within an hour and resolved the issue promptly. During this time, there were two issues that needed to be looked at. American Home Shield said the vendor was not listed as servicing. I reached out to the vendor and they told me they do the service all the time. They had to call American Home Shield, finally got them signed, and they took care of both issues at the same time. Every time I have to call American Home Shield, I feel this same way. I also had to struggle to get a refund for the services from CJA Mechanical, where they initially refused stating no refund after the contractor shows up, regardless of their lack of service or diagnosis.

    Overall, the entire process took over two and a half weeks, during which my tenant had no hot water, leading to requests for rent reductions and a lot of wasted hours on my part trying to resolve the issue.

    I have been with American Home Shield for almost 24 years since I purchased my house. My recent experiences with them have been mostly positive. Initially, Susina Electric & Appliance Service came out to fix my washing machine, and they did a great job. Later, I had issues with my stove. Sears, who was initially assigned the repair, never showed up and kept pushing back appointments without clear communication.

    I was waiting from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m but they never came. It was five days that I waited for them. They were supposed to come on the 14th. Then they said they were coming on the 15th. Then they said they were coming on the 16th, the 17th, the 18th. Sears did not treat American Home Shield policy holders right. They have their own home warranty so it felt they pushed us back to take care of theirs. You also can't get in contact with anybody. Everything is automated.

    After I reached out to American Home Shield, they sent Susina Electric & Appliance Service again, who promptly fixed my stove by ordering the necessary parts.

    Submitting a claim with American Home Shield online through my phone was easy. The service contractors would inform me ahead of time about their visit through a courtesy call. The technicians from Susina Electric & Appliance Service were professional, efficient, and completed the repairs satisfactorily.

    However, I faced a frustrating experience a while back with my hot water heater. The contractor wanted to charge an exorbitant amount for unnecessary work. It was resolved when American Home Shield allowed me to receive the funds for the hot water heater, and my son, who is a licensed plumber, installed it for me. Despite the issue with the hot water heater and the trouble with Sears, overall, the service has been reliable. I've recommended American Home Shield to my children who've bought homes, as they have generally been responsive and efficient in handling claims.

    Despite some challenges, particularly with certain contractors like Sears who seemed to prioritize their customers, my satisfaction with Susanna Electric and Appliance Services has been high. For these reasons, I would rate American Home Shield a 3 out of 5.

    I love the service, but I had some issues. I put in two work orders, one of the garbage disposal. The tech was in for about five minutes and said that he was gonna put my work order in and get back with me. He didn't call me for days. I got back pursuing the garbage disposal and they told me it was gonna be 700-something dollars because the issue was preconditioned. The other claim was for the washer and the tech said there was nothing wrong with it and that I had a leak but it was not the washer. I immediately called AHS and I asked if that work order could just go for the leak. The rep on the phone said that the plumber was here and if we could just go ahead and add it on the order but the plumber had left. There was a dispute about the $125 on both ends because nobody did anything and nobody was in contact with me.

    I was charged $250 without any work being completed, which was frustrating. I didn't even want to be compensated with the plumber, who said what he said without any tools, we just wanted them to fix the leak behind the washing machine. It wasn't until I spoke with a diligent supervisor named Terese that the situation improved. Terese was thorough; she reviewed notes, found discrepancies, and ensured I got some of my money back and the necessary repairs were done. While she was superb, most of the other customer service interactions were disappointing, characterized by broken promises and sometimes rude communication. After she fixed everything, AHS had the nerve to still bill me $125 saying I still owed that. I immediately called and told them I had enough and five minutes later, they apologized and told me to disregard the email.

    In terms of their policy, I feel the coverage was lacking and uninformative. Although the price I pay is reasonable, the service should be more consistent across the board. Online, I've only had limited interactions with their tools, but they appeared to function without issues. Overall, while my final issues were resolved, it was a lengthy and exhausting process. I gave American Home Shield a three-star rating because, despite the turmoil, they eventually addressed my concerns. But, the entire ordeal definitely needs improvement, especially in terms of initial customer service interactions and communication.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been quite frustrating. Recently, Complete Air Mechanical came out to fix my AC, which they managed to repair. However, the overall service from American Home Shield has been inconsistent. I often find myself calling multiple times for the same issue, just to confirm whether something is covered or not because different agents give me different answers.

    I had a particularly bad experience with my kitchen range. I placed a service request with all the brand details provided, but the first company they sent didn't even bother to thoroughly inspect it and claimed it was an engine issue not within their scope. The second company also didn't open anything and wrongly diagnosed the problem as a ductwork issue without testing anything. Despite the policy stating ductwork is covered, they said ductwork for kitchen ranges is not, which cost me $125 for a service request and wasted my time.

    Efforts to escalate this were futile as American Home Shield didn't investigate further or attempt proper diagnostics. They wanted to send someone else and quote an unnecessary ductwork repair, which I would have to finance without it being confirmed as the problem. I've decided not to go through with unnecessary ceiling renovations based on such poor diagnostics.

    American Home Shield's customer service has been disappointing. I've called for electrical repairs which were initially noted as covered, only to be told they aren't upon proceeding. The only somewhat successful service requests were for my AC and a fridge that's still not entirely fixed, requiring multiple visits and part replacements.

    Overall, my experience has been very dissatisfying. I wouldn’t recommend them, and plan to cancel the service once I move from my current home. For what I've been paying monthly, the inconsistency and unreliability have not been worth it.

    I've had a long-standing relationship with American Home Shield, having been with them for at least 15 years. Overall, I've found them to be beneficial as they have saved us money on various repairs throughout the years. The claims process is generally straightforward and quick. I usually call to speak with an agent, although sometimes there can be a delay or difficulty in communication due to the call centers being located in the Philippines. Sometimes it's quick, but sometimes you could hold for an extended period of time. You know they have something printed because everybody says the exact thing, and you have to wait 5 minutes until they read their entire speech. Then it’s very difficult to have a conversation to try to explain something about what's broken or repaired. On many occasions, I've had to ask for a supervisor.

    My experience with All City Appliance and HVAC Service was mixed. Initially, they attempted to repair our dishwasher, but the issue persisted. After following up, American Home Shield initially denied coverage, blaming it on non-normal wear and tear. However, after requesting a second opinion, the repair was successfully completed.

    While American Home Shield has provided good service in the past, especially when the process is smooth, there have been instances of frustration due to communication barriers and complicated repairs. An example of this is a pending repair for a garage door opener. American Home Shield sent somebody out. He's not even from New Jersey where I am in, he's from Florida. He's just traveling through the area and picking up work in New Jersey through American Home Shield. He tried to sell me all this extra stuff for several hundred dollars.

    Outside of American Home Shield, I called a couple other garage door opener companies, and they both told me that he was trying to rip me off. I called American Home Shield back and spent hours back and forth trying to get it sorted. I had to go through a supervisor, and finally, they said I could get an outside person to do the work. The fee to American Home Shield every time you make a call to have somebody coming out is $135. But they're only gonna give me $100 towards my repair, so I'm paying more than I'm getting back, even though it's a covered service.

    Overall, I would rate American Home Shield somewhere in the middle. There are both good and challenging experiences, and while I'm mostly satisfied, there's definitely room for improvement, particularly in communication.

    I've had ongoing issues with my refrigerator freezer covered by American Home Shield. Over five visits from different contractors, including Gary Appliance Repair, the freezer part of the fridge still doesn't freeze, causing the ice maker to leak. All contractors have said that the LG refrigerator is poorly made and would continue having problems. I had the compressor replaced last year, yet the issue persists. One contractor claimed to fix a leak, but two weeks later, the problem returned. We've refused repeat services as they do the same thing without resolving the issue. After expressing our frustration, the last contractor agreed that we needed a new refrigerator.

    Our experience with American Home Shield support has been frustrating. It felt like they were reading from a script, without truly listening, leading to ineffective solutions. The language barrier was there. They didn't understand what I was saying and I barely understood what they were saying. I threatened to cancel and called my attorney, which I did. They're prepared to do whatever they need to do on our behalf to make sure we get a new refrigerator. We're switching companies if we find a better option, as we've been disappointed as long-standing customers. I would discourage friends and family from using American Home Shield due to our negative experiences, especially since we've had previous issues with different appliances as well at our previous address.

    I filed a claim with American Home Shield when my heating malfunctioned during a freezing weekend. I contacted their 24-hour service, and by noon the next day, a technician arrived and promptly fixed the issue. The diagnosis and repair took him only 15-20 minutes. He mentioned a potential issue with the chip board due to its age but assured me I could call if further problems arose. Fortunately, everything has been running smoothly since.

    This was my first experience with American Home Shield, and I've found it very beneficial, especially as a relatively new homeowner. It's reassuring to have such a convenience, particularly when you're unfamiliar with a neighborhood or don't have trusted service contacts. The peace of mind they provide is invaluable.

    I've already recommended American Home Shield to friends, as their prompt and reliable service has left a lasting impression on me. While I'm not a fan of using online tools, due to my minimal experience with computers, my overall experience with their customer service and the company's dedication to resolving issues has been superb.

    My experience with American Home Shield recently left me feeling quite frustrated. I contacted them for issues with my electrical system and garbage disposal. Initially, I thought an electrician could handle both, but the representative informed me that a plumber was also needed. When the electrician arrived, he mentioned that he could have handled both tasks, which left me feeling like I had wasted $125.

    The plumber was here for less than five minutes, and based on a conversation I had with a former plumber, it seems he might have just used an Allen wrench to fix the issue under the garbage disposal. The electrician was friendly but charged me extra—$125 for tracing the wire, which I believed should have been covered under the warranty. Overall, I ended up paying an additional $225, and there were still unresolved issues, such as a non-working socket in my master bedroom. He said it was gonna be an additional $75 just to run power from one of the other sockets in the room to that socket to get that one working.

    Although everyone I interacted with was nice, I felt like I wasted a lot of money. I also encountered issues with the ceiling fan in my grandson's room, which the electrician did not address. Furthermore, outside ceiling fans weren't covered by the warranty. Overall, I'd rate this experience a 3 out of 5, highlighting the friendly service but also the inefficiencies and extra costs I incurred.

    The experience was generally positive when I recently dealt with American Home Shield for a furnace issue where there was a problem with the blower motor. The technician from Affordable Heat & Air was excellent. He was informative and even did some extra cleaning, which I appreciated. It was also convenient that the repair was completed on the same day.

    In the past, my experience with the technicians provided by American Home Shield has been okay overall. However, I've encountered repeated issues with breakers. Different technicians have used varied approaches and provided conflicting information regarding codes. This inconsistency makes it hard to understand whether my home complies with current standards, which is concerning, especially regarding safety.

    I would prefer a more consistent company philosophy to follow over time, especially for issues like breaker problems. Despite this, other repairs, like those related to the AC or heating, have been successful without a need for follow-up.

    Overall, I am generally satisfied with the service from American Home Shield. Though the cost is a bit high, the customer service is excellent, the website experience is decent, and the overall coverage is good.

    I have been a customer of American Home Shield for almost two years and overall, my experience has been quite satisfactory. Recently, I had an issue with a leak under my sink involving the gooseneck pipe. American Home Shield sent out All American Plumbing and Rooter Service, and they did an excellent job fixing the problem. They were efficient, and everything was put back together well. On another occasion, I had an issue with my commode, which they also resolved without any hassle. The workers were really nice and professional each time they visited.

    If someone were to ask me about American Home Shield, I would definitely recommend their services. I've known other companies that operate differently, often providing checks if something can't be fixed, but I prefer American Home Shield's approach. They either fix the problem or replace the item, which is more convenient and cost-effective for me.

    Their customer service is commendable as well. For example, there was a time when I needed immediate assistance, and they managed to schedule a visit for the next day after I explained my urgency. They kept me informed about who would be coming and when, which I appreciated.

    Regarding their pricing, it's comparable to other companies. While some might be slightly cheaper, I find the value and service I receive to be quite satisfactory. I haven't used their online service to submit requests, but my interactions with them over the phone have been quite positive.

    In conclusion, I rate my experience with American Home Shield very highly and would give them five stars based on the quality of their service, prompt response, and overall customer service.

    I cancelled my plan with American Home Shield after a disappointing experience. Initially, I purchased their highest plan, under the impression that diagnostic fees were covered. During my first claim, Hers and His Plumbing was able to unclog my drain successfully. However, when I encountered a bubbling sound in my toilet and water backing up in the bathtub while doing laundry, things became problematic. Although the plumber managed to clear the immediate issue, I realized that thorough diagnostics, such as using a camera to inspect the pipes, were not covered under my plan. This was contrary to my understanding and seemed misleading.

    Furthermore, during this process, the plumber informed me that American Home Shield does not cover extended water lines from outside my house, unlike some other companies. Given my older property's needs, this service limitation became another point of contention. I felt misled by what I initially believed was covered and thus decided it was not worth the continued cost, especially when compared to appliances and AC repairs that might be more manageable or cheaper to handle independently.

    I've been with American Home Shield for about a year, and while their customer service was generally good, involving multiple calls and some hassle to cancel, I didn't feel they were delivering on what was promised in terms of coverage. I appreciate the prompt contact and service from their customer service team, but the limitations in coverage led me to rethink my engagement with them.

Over a week later, still no response to fix my plumbing issue. AHS had a dozen “by the manual” reasons/responses as to why I hadn’t received service. They take your money instantly but only reimburse customers after a 10-day waiting period. I canceled my service plan which I paid over $1400 for the year without using. Buyer beware. They provide a service for a fee, but when they don’t respond or fix the issue, they reimburse you on a prorated amount. I see it more like stealing your money on a promise, than doing what they can to keep as much of your money without providing a service, and attempt to retain the money they took from you.

    I initially thought there was a clog in the toilet, so I called American Home Shield for help. Gray Cap Plumbing came out, but they didn't do anything because they said the toilet needed to be removed, and my contract with American Home Shield wouldn't cover that. They didn't even snake the toilet. My son ended up removing the toilet, and we hired a local plumber to snake it multiple times without any blockage found, but we still have a backup issue. The local plumber mentioned they might need to remove the drywall in the basement to inspect the plumbing, but I'm unsure if that’s covered by my contract with American Home Shield.

    I've been with American Home Shield for more than three years. I appreciate the security it provides, like if a refrigerator breaks down, I can file a claim without worrying about covering the full cost myself. However, in situations like this plumbing issue, I'm stressed about whether it will be covered, especially with costs potentially reaching $4000 to $7,000. I've seen limits in my contract of $1,000 and $250, so I'm concerned it might not be sufficient. It's a bit stressful right before Christmas. I wish the contract was more lucrative in that respect.

    When I had a plumbing issue, specifically a leaking faucet, they were prompt and effective in addressing the problem. At first, it was a small leak that escalated.

    I initially encountered issues with American Home Shield's vendor selection. After submitting a claim concerning my water heater, which caught fire, the company promptly replaced it rather than attempting a repair. However, the main challenge arose from their choice of technicians. Twice, they tried to dispatch technicians notorious for their poor reputation and inadequate customer service. It was only after insisting and escalating the matter to higher levels within the company that I managed to get a more reputable vendor assigned. This insistence was essential, as their initial responses suggested it was not possible to switch vendors, which I found misleading.

    Despite these hurdles, once the suitable technicians were selected, the service and coverage provided by American Home Shield were satisfactory. The coverage itself is comprehensive, although I am concerned about rising costs. The process of submitting claims online is straightforward and user-friendly.

The claim was quickly assigned, and a technician arrived within three days, resolving the problem in just a couple of hours. However, my previous experiences haven't been as positive.

    I had a challenging situation when I filed a request for a lock change due to a nanny replacement. The claim was initially canceled without notification. Upon reapplying, it took a long time to get it assigned, and when a vendor finally arrived, he claimed it wasn’t covered, although I knew it was the same service I'd previously received. Despite explaining this to American Home Shield, they insisted on a "diagnosis," which seemed irrelevant for a lock change. This back and forth continued until they finally agreed to cancel the claim, refund my deductible, and suggested I start over. The prospect of being reassigned to the same non-responsive vendor led me to handle it on my own.

    Overall, American Home Shield's network and customer service seem lacking, particularly for non-standard requests. The recent plumbing claim went well, likely because it was straightforward. However, my earlier lock change experience was draining and frustrating. I'd recommend American Home Shield only with caution due to the inconsistent support I've encountered. There should be more focus on understanding what they're dealing with.

    I recently had both positive and negative experiences with American Home Shield. On a positive note, they replaced our air conditioner over the summer, and the technicians did an outstanding job. They arrived quickly and resolved the issue efficiently, which left us quite satisfied at the time.

    However, our experience with the washer was much less smooth. The first time they came out on a Friday, the guy spent 10 seconds in front of the washer. He pushed two buttons on the front, some blinking lights came on, and he said I had a problem with the pump and the housing. They sent a pump and a housing that got here on Monday, but they couldn't get here for another two weeks.

    The guy came out and put the pump and the housing. I turned the washer on, it spun, and he walked out the door. It started making a real loud noise and grinding. I ran out and caught him, and he came back in and restarted it. It restarted but did the same thing. He said it needed another part, and he'd have to have somebody sent out to do a diagnostic on it. Two weeks later, the original guy came back out, did a diagnostic and said the motor was bad. They were gonna have to replace the magneto and a motor. It took him another two weeks to get out here to do that. Once they got all that stuff done, it now works great. But we were down for almost seven weeks.

    It was unacceptable because I got myself, my wife, and a son here in the house and we couldn't wash clothes. I had to go to a friend's house and sit at his house for four hours and do laundry so we could get through the week. I called Sears at least 20 times over the course of that month and asked if they could please get somebody out here. They said they didn't have any earlier dates then we were finally told not to call again. I called American Home Shield but they said we had to go with Sears. They also changed their appointments. One of them was supposed to be out here on a Monday but they called 15 minutes before the appointment and told us they could not come that day when I already took the day off.

    While American Home Shield's warranty coverage is generally good, I've noticed a trend of them contributing less financially over time for repairs. The cost-sharing with our air conditioner's replacement left us paying a significant amount. We paid $3000 and they paid $2800.

    Additionally, their online tools and website are difficult to navigate, which seems intentional to reduce customer contact. They don't wanna deal with you. They just want you to call then they'll figure out when somebody can come out. They don't wanna keep getting phone calls.

The process went smoothly, as I contacted American Home Shield by phone, and everything was efficiently taken care of. I know they have an online service and an app for requests, but I don't have a home computer and it's hard to do on a phone. Plus, I like to talk to a person. I quickly received a call from Sears, and although it took a little while for the part to arrive, once it was delivered to my home, they came to install it.

    I've been with American Home Shield for many years and have never experienced any issues with them. In a previous home, they replaced the air conditioning unit. The only inconvenience was waiting for the unit to arrive from New York. I would definitely recommend American Home Shield; they are a great company.

    I consistently rate my experience with them as excellent across all aspects—customer service, service quality, and pricing. While I don't remember what they charge for a service call, I'm sure it's cheaper than having to pay for it ourselves.

    Overall, I’ve had a positive experience with American Home Shield.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield when I had an issue with my refrigerator. It was quite frustrating initially because it took a long time to resolve. There was a lot of back-and-forth regarding responsibility between American Home Shield and the refrigerator manufacturer since it was under warranty. Unfortunately, I was without a working refrigerator for two months. However, once I got past that and they finally deemed it as irrepairable, American Home Shield covered the cost, and everything was resolved.

    Since the repair, the refrigerator has been functioning well. Overall, aside from that extended and challenging experience, things have been fine with them. I would rate American Home Shield a 4 out of 5 overall. Their customer service was excellent. The warranty and coverage I have would also be a 4, while the price and their online tools each earn a 5 from me.

    I recently had a very frustrating experience with American Home Shield. Initially, they were supposed to address issues with my refrigerator, which was an ongoing saga. I purchased the refrigerator from Lowe's, and while they delivered it, the doors weren't leveled properly. The delivery guys and another team failed to fix it due to missing spacers, which led me back and forth between Lowe's and the delivery service without a resolution. It was baffling that they came without the necessary tools, like a level, and used mine eventually.

    The real issue was with my existing refrigerator's multiple failures. Despite several service visits to fix the ice maker and main components, including ordering a new motherboard, it remained non-functional, leaving us without a refrigerator for over two months. We incurred losses from spoiling food each time it failed. When I requested a replacement due to their repeated attempts to repair it unsuccessfully, American Home Shield offered a mere $900 after deducting what was paid to repairmen, which was inadequate as the new one cost me $3,000.

    I've had American Home Shield for about a year and a half to two years, paying $100 monthly and $125 per technician visit, yet they provided no real benefit. I found the service a financial burden rather than an advantage. While the technicians were competent and did their best, their hands were tied by company limitations. If I were to rate them, it would certainly be low, leaning towards being very dissatisfied. They involved me in a stressful, time-consuming, and financially straining process.

    I wouldn't recommend this service to friends or family. My advice would be to push for a replacement immediately rather than endure costly and ineffective repairs. The only positive aspect was the technicians' earnest efforts amid these constraints, but overall, the customer service and pricing were disappointing.

    I've been a customer of American Home Shield for quite some time, and I've had mixed experiences with them. Recently, they sent out Garage Door Corporation to fix my garage door, which they managed to do in a timely manner, and I haven't had any issues since.

    However, my concern lies with the pricing structure. I pay around $80 a month, and each service call costs an additional $100. In some situations, it seems that I might save money by hiring someone directly, even though American Home Shield does provide multiple services within that cost. They did come out for issues with my stove and dryer, although the dryer took two to three attempts to fix, and I wasn't satisfied with the initial technician's work.

    The customer service experience could be improved. I usually contact them by phone, but I had difficulty understanding the representative's accent despite her being very polite. This made communication challenging.

    Overall, I'd rate my experience with American Home Shield as a 4 out of 5, mainly due to the recurring dryer issue and the challenges in communication. For pricing, I'd rate it a 3 out of 5 because the recurring monthly fees and per-service charge feel quite high.

    I had a very challenging experience with American Home Shield and their contractor, Jet Electrical Installation INC. A power outage affected half of my house, and Jet Electric's quick assessment was to replace the entire electrical box, citing a broken main breaker. They insisted I get a city permit, which delayed services. It took over two weeks without electricity, during which they mistakenly submitted paperwork as a remodel to Edison. This contributed to a significant delay because the submission wasn't prioritized.

    In an attempt to expedite matters, I contacted Edison directly for proper guidance. I also reached out to Stan Vier Electric, a local company, for a second opinion. They found that a complete box replacement wasn't necessary—just a bus bar and breaker replacement—and no permit was required. This issue disrupted our lives significantly. My sister, who is 75, and I had to rely on generators, we lost some food, and we were cooking outside on a propane barbecue.

    I have been with American Home Shield for eight years, initially choosing them because my husband, who could fix most things, worked out of town. However, my experience with them has been disappointing, largely because they use contractors from far locations and do not have reliable ones locally. My dissatisfaction extends beyond this incident; for example, my AC took a month to repair during the hottest time of the year due to delayed approvals and part issues from American Home Shield. Moreover, they raised their rates without notice by $50 a month, which has become unaffordable for me. Overall, I am very dissatisfied with their service and am considering canceling my coverage.

    My experience with American Home Shield regarding a claim for my air conditioning unit was quite frustrating. Our AC upstairs failed in March, and the initial contractor, MJS Mechanical, was sent out. The technician indicated he could fix the issue and provided my husband with his cell number, promising to return but never did. We ended up calling weekly but received promises of return calls, which never came. In August, I was surprised to receive an email saying our repairs were complete, which was not true. I repeatedly tried to contact them, leaving voicemails, but to no avail. Not only that, the guy left all the stuff outside. He took the air conditioner apart and left it in a big pile on my patio. We had a hurricane in Houston and my husband stuck a blue tarp over it to cover it up so that the parts didn't go flying away in the hurricane.

    Ultimately, after much persistence, a second vendor, SIEVER, was sent out. Their technician was professional and noted the previous work done was incomplete and problematic. Their company escalated the issue to the local representative for AHS, which eventually led to action. The first company, MJS, was made to replace the unit at no cost and bring everything up to code. While the end result was satisfactory, the whole ordeal was miserable; it took from March to November to resolve. Dealing with American Home Shield's customer service was frustrating as it often felt like a dead-end. Calls were directed to foreign call centers where representatives gave generic responses without real solutions. If we had someone living upstairs, it would have been unbearable.

    I would have just called someone else and paid for it. And in doing that, it would have voided my coverage with AHS. So, I don't know what can be done to fix that but they need to hire more local, US-based people that can help the homeowner because it was miserable. It's sad because that's gonna cost AHS members because a lot of people are gonna cancel. My husband even thought about canceling but we can't cancel until at least we get this resolved with the pile that the guy left on my patio. The process exposed systemic issues in communication and service delivery. I appreciated that the second vendor got the local AHS representative involved, which eventually prompted MJS to resolve the situation. It seemed as if MJS was initially trying to strong-arm us into using them for replacements at high prices, which was dishonest.

    Reflecting on this experience, American Home Shield has quality coverage but lacks effective customer service and communication. The first guy ended up having to pay for it and they gave us the free unit. But the second guy is the one that got the local rep involved. But because Home Shield is using that foreign call center, there's nobody that can do anything if you have a problem like we had. If I could have just talked to AHS in the middle of all that, it would have gotten solved. This experience was disheartening, and improvements are necessary to ensure customer satisfaction and trust.

    I've had American Home Shield for over a decade now. Initially, their service saved me substantial amounts on repairs, such as for our washer and dryer. However, my recent experience was frustrating. We faced a significant delay of about 20 days to replace a malfunctioning hot water tank. This was primarily due to a communication gap between American Home Shield and the contractors, All Hours Emergency Plumber LLC. The plumbing company would have to replace the hot water tank and they said that they were waiting on approval from American Home Shield. When I called and I finally got ahold of somebody from AHS, there was going to be some kind of an additional charge, which we had never even been notified about that that was the hold-up. Despite the plumber being courteous, the initial repair attempt failed, and we endured almost three weeks without hot water—a real challenge given my husband's and my health concerns.

    We've had American Home Shield for years and despite the delay in getting things fixed, it has saved us a lot of money. But lately, we’re not happy. They could improve on the timing of getting repairs done. It shouldn't take three weeks to replace the hot water tank. If I'd had the money, I could have gone to Home Depot, bought one and had it installed within 48 to 72 hours, whereas it took three weeks because of a lack of communication between American Home Shield, the plumbing company, and back again, and with us. I shouldn't have to continually be calling to follow up.

    While we ended up incurring additional charges, which were unanticipated and not covered by the warranty, we had to involve a local electrician to resolve wiring issues. This unexpected expense totaled around $800, which is burdensome since we're on a fixed Social Security income. The price started at $50 and then, it went up to $75. Now it's $100. But I get it. AHS has done the garage door opener, we had a fan motor replaced and we've had service done on dryers and washers and the refrigerator. But this time, it was a large chunk of money for people on Social Security.

    Historically, American Home Shield has been beneficial, but the service has become less reliable lately. Improvements in communication and quicker resolution times are necessary. The online tool remains efficient, allowing convenient claim submissions. However, this positive aspect does little to offset the recent service shortcomings.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield that left me feeling a bit mixed. Initially, I had a heating issue, and ACG Heating and Air LLC came out to fix it. However, just a couple of days later, the furnace stopped working again. I had to contact American Home Shield, and they sent someone to replace a motherboard, which seems to have resolved the issue for now.

    One thing I can say is that the American Home Shield representatives are professional, but it does seem like their customer service is outsourced to another country, which sometimes creates a slight communication barrier. I don't have problems with their technicians since they generally come out quickly once called, which is something I appreciate about the service.

    However, communication needs improvement. For instance, the service fees have increased significantly from when I first started from $75 to $125, and the communication about contract renewal and cancellation policies was not clear to me. Additionally, I found it inconvenient when my furnace issue wasn't caught the first time, which required a second visit to resolve. Such repeat visits during freezing weather were quite inconvenient, although my family managed with space heaters.

    Regarding the service, while I am grateful for the prompt dispatch of technicians when needed, the negotiation for price reduction felt unnecessarily prolonged. It took over two hours to get my rate adjusted closer to what it was when I started. This hassle made me reconsider my future with them once my contract expires.

    Overall, I would rate the coverage as strong, but the fluctuating prices and lengthy negotiation processes are concerning. While I was able to lower my monthly payments after negotiating, I'm unsure if I'll continue with them beyond the current term.

    I submitted a claim to American Home Shield because my water heater was leaking, and the process was quite straightforward—I called them directly. The contractor, iPlumb LLC, who came out was professional and polite. They replaced the water heater, and while they did have to return for a minor adjustment, everything has been excellent since then.

    Communication from American Home Shield was comprehensive as I received calls and text messages about the service appointment. However, finding the contact information initially was a bit challenging, as it required some digging through old emails.

    Overall, I'd recommend American Home Shield. It's easy to get in touch with customer service and usually, it's straightforward. The representatives seemed knowledgeable.

    I recently had a disappointing experience with American Home Shield. When the tech from Furnace Doctors came out for a scheduled repair, they failed to complete the work. It has been over a month, and I've been caught in a frustrating cycle of calling for updates. Although the customer service team is polite, they're unable to take effective action to resolve my issue. They keep telling me the problem is escalated and that someone will call, but nothing has happened.

    In terms of service quality, I would rate my experience a 2 out of 5 due to the unresolved issues and lack of follow-up. The pricing seems fair, but I noticed an automatic increase in cost for one of my homes without any explanation or benefit. Overall, the lack of progress and communication has left me dissatisfied with the service.

    I recently dealt with American Home Shield regarding an issue with my dryer. The heating element stopped working, and even after they "fixed" it, the problem resurfaced just 45 days later. I was frustrated because I had to pay another service fee for the same issue within such a short period. After the first failed repair, I requested a different service provider, fearing another breakdown.

    Overall, my past experiences with American Home Shield have been decent, but this recent incident was disappointing, especially when long-term customers are involved. The technicians themselves have been polite and respectful during their visits.

    However, I've noticed a significant increase in both their prices and deductible over the past year or two. This, combined with the recent dryer issue, has made me consider looking for alternatives. It's not just about the recurring fee—having to pay again for the same problem within a short timeframe seems unfair, and I don't believe it was right for them to charge me twice.

    My rating for American Home Shield would be around a 3, considering the overall service, price, and coverage. Their customer service, on the other hand, I would rate a bit higher, as a 4. Despite the recent setbacks, their representative was understanding and patient. However, I'm still pondering if it's worth staying with them due to the increased costs and recent inconveniences.

    I recently had a claim with American Home Shield when the pressure valve on my hot water heater broke. Submitting the claim online was straightforward, as the website is user-friendly. Before the contractor, Best Way Mechanical INC, arrived, I received text and email notifications, including a picture of the technician who would be coming.

    When the contractor arrived, he was professional and friendly. Interestingly, he had helped with a previous issue I had with my toilet. For the hot water heater, he successfully replaced the pressure valve, and everything has been working well since. As for the toilet, he resolved a simple issue with the flapper that I could have fixed myself had I known.

    I've been with American Home Shield for nearly three years. What I appreciate most about their service is the assurance that I can get issues fixed without bearing the full cost. I would rate my experience with them highly as I haven't faced any major issues.

Sometimes it can take some extra days to get people out here, but most of the time, their process is smooth and the people generally come out when they say they're going to. We’ve had home warranty programs over the years and they pay for themselves almost every year. AHS went up quite a bit on their price in our last plan, so I wasn't super happy about that.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield regarding a dryer that was not functioning. Submitting a claim online was straightforward, which I appreciated. However, the communication with the contractor, Antech Appliances, was less than satisfactory. Although I received a notification about their arrival time, I had to call them repeatedly to ensure they would show up.

    When the technician from Antech Appliances arrived, his demeanor was unprofessional. He advised that if the dryer broke again, not to contact them, which was really surprising because my home warranty requires me to go through them. American Home Shield used the same contractor even after this incident, which puzzled me.

    The repair seemed to temporarily fix the dryer, but it eventually broke down again, prompting me to schedule another appointment with them. As of now, I would rate American Home Shield a 3 out of 5, as I am waiting to see how they handle this recurring issue.

    I recently had a couple of experiences with American Home Shield, specifically when dealing with claims for my stovetop and refrigerator. The issue with my stovetop was that one burner was not getting hot enough to boil water efficiently. Unfortunately, this wasn't considered severe enough to warrant a replacement so it wasn't covered by American Home Shield. But that's not a problem with the contractor. That's an American Home Shield problem. As for the refrigerator, I experienced a temporary problem where the freezer stopped working. Luckily, the issue resolved itself before the repair team arrived.

    Regarding the claim process, I find it fairly easy to navigate their website and select the necessary options. The company typically provides the name and contact information of the contractor beforehand. In my case, Shoreline Appliance and Repair have been dispatched a few times by American Home Shield, and their service has generally been good and flexible.

    While I appreciate the service, I do notice a decline in value over the years, with rising costs and reduced coverage. I would rate my overall satisfaction as 3.5 to 4 out of 5. However, I still recommend having a home warranty like American Home Shield, especially for new homeowners.

    I recently had an experience with American Home Shield and am quite satisfied with their service. My most recent service call was about a leaking hot water tank. I submitted my claim through the American Home Shield portal and received prompt communication detailing the technician's arrival time. They even called to inform me they were about 40 minutes away, which was appreciated.

    The contractor assigned to my case was professional and knowledgeable and was accompanied by an assistant. They informed me about the necessary steps to replace the water heater and evaluated a sump pump issue. Their professionalism was commendable, and the experience reassured me about the coverage American Home Shield provides.

    I've been a customer since I initially purchased the home and chose American Home Shield primarily for its affordability, especially given my need to manage expenses wisely as a single mom. Their prompt scheduling of appointments is particularly impressive, minimizing delays in getting necessary repairs started. I had my first policy for about a year and a half and felt protected the entire time. After working with the contractors and saving on repair expenses, it only made sense to go back with them and reopen my contract with them. Most recently, I signed up in September and the warranty took effect in October. So, this is a new go-around. I have that peace of mind knowing that if something goes wrong, I can have someone come out to take a look at it just by paying that service call fee.

    If there was a way to provide more details about appliances needing service before a technician visit, it could streamline the process, saving time and possibly reducing the number of service calls needed. Despite any suggestions for improvement, I find the investment worthwhile, given the high costs of home repairs nowadays. I would certainly recommend American Home Shield to friends and family as a smart way to maintain a home in good condition while managing costs. Overall, I rate their customer service, coverage, and affordability very highly, and using the online tool was satisfactory.

    I recently submitted a claim with American Home Shield, and the process was fast and easy. I faced an issue when my water heater ruptured, but the company quickly resolved it by sending Altstadt Hoffman Plumbing. They efficiently completed the work from Sunday morning to Monday by 5 p.m., which was impressive. I am satisfied with the new water heater as it works great. Overall, my experience with American Home Shield was positive, covering all bases efficiently, from customer service to the services covered under my warranty.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield for almost a year now, ever since we bought our home. Recently, we had an issue with our heat pump not coming on, and our furnace was running constantly. We contacted American Home Shield, and they sent out Bennett Air LLC to handle our claim. The technician from Bennett Air was very professional, thorough, and efficient in diagnosing and resolving the issue. He took a detailed look at both the heat pump and the furnace.

    Ever since the repair, everything has been functioning perfectly. I particularly appreciate the ease of submitting claims with American Home Shield; it's been a breeze, and they are always very responsive. Overall, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend American Home Shield based on my experiences so far.

    I recently had a service experience with American Home Shield. My garage door was malfunctioning, and they sent out 5 Star Garage Door to handle the repair. The technician was efficient, completing the job quickly. Overall, I've noticed that technicians from American Home Shield tend to finish repairs promptly, and they typically address the issue correctly on the first visit.

    However, I've become increasingly concerned about the rising costs of their service. It seems like prices go up every few years, and if they rise much more, I might need to consider switching to a different service provider. Also, I had an issue with the coverage related to our sump pump. The discharge pipe, which extends to the street, isn't covered as it's not considered part of the foundation—a detail I found frustrating.

    Despite these concerns, the customer service has been satisfactory. However, I find their website difficult to use and would rate it poorly. Overall, if someone were to ask for my overall opinion on American Home Shield, I’d give them a mid-range rating due to these mixed experiences.

    I recently had an issue with my refrigerator's ice maker not working, and I submitted a claim with American Home Shield online. The website was decent in terms of user-friendliness. After submitting my claim, I received an email notifying me about the contractor, Buzzins Appliance INC, who would be coming out. I'm familiar with the company because I've lived in the area my whole life, and they previously repaired my dryer.

    I think the interaction and service provided by American Home Shield were wonderful. I submitted my claim, and by the next business day, I received contact from both American Home Shield and the contractor. We've been with American Home Shield since May, choosing this coverage because, as my husband and I get older, it's nice to have protection for our belongings.

    What I like most about the service is its convenience. Whenever I submit a claim, I can expect a response by the next business day. I have no complaints or suggestions for improvement at the moment. I have already recommended American Home Shield to friends, indicating my satisfaction with their service.

    I had a challenging experience with American Home Shield when dealing with an issue with my refrigerator. The motherboard went out, and I had to submit a claim for repairs. Initially, I reported the problem over the phone, but communication was difficult because I often spoke with representatives who were hard to understand. Moreover, I was given no information about the contractor before they appeared at my home.

    When the contractor eventually came, he assessed the refrigerator and confirmed that a motherboard replacement was needed. However, it took nearly two months for any action to be taken. During this time, I repeatedly contacted American Home Shield for updates, but my messages seemed to go unanswered. Fortunately, I had an old refrigerator to use, but the extended wait was very frustrating.

    I initially chose American Home Shield to help cover the costs of appliance repairs, especially after having a positive experience with Sears warranty before they went out of business. However, my dissatisfaction began early during my first claim after two months of service when my water pump failed. Despite the urgency, I was told I'd have to wait until after a holiday weekend to get assistance, which prompted me to pay for the repair myself and decide not to renew the service.

    What I did like about American Home Shield was the range of coverage they offered at a reasonable price. However, I feel they need to treat repair situations with a sense of urgency and empathy, as if these issues were happening in their own homes. The lack of water and a functioning refrigerator was a significant inconvenience that they didn't seem to understand or address promptly.

    Overall, while I appreciated the pricing and coverage, the service response times and lack of communication were disappointing, leading me to ultimately cancel my policy.

    I recently had a disappointing experience with American Home Shield. After encountering issues with my furnace, I decided not to engage with the technician they sent, opting instead to take the cash in lieu offered and find a replacement elsewhere. This decision stemmed from a lack of comfort with their selected service provider, Fast Response Heating and Cooling.

    This was the second incident with American Home Shield where out-of-pocket expenses were significant and not covered under the contract. The cash in lieu offered was insufficient to meet the replacement costs I expected. Consequently, I canceled my service with them as the process felt cumbersome and unsatisfactory.

    Moreover, NBC's national news coverage highlighted American Home Shield's handling of similar customer issues, which resonated with my experience. It's problematic that consumers aren't able to review the contract thoroughly before committing to anything. Once in a situation, you often find there's insufficient coverage due to various exclusions.

    Overall, I rated their service at 3 out of 5 due to these ongoing issues. The pricing received a 2 due to incremental increases over my years with them. Although the customer service was reasonable, deserving a 4, the coverage again rated only a 3 due to unexpected exclusions. While the initial sales and marketing were fine when I signed up several years ago, the value proposition has diminished over time, also rating a 3.

    Despite the issues, I found their website easy to use for submitting claims, rating that aspect a 5.

    I have been using American Home Shield (AHS) protection for over 24 years, since purchasing my home. Throughout my time with them, I've had both good and bad experiences. On one occasion, the igniter on my heater went out, and while Rescue Your Air and Drain came out to help resolve it, it became evident that the contractors AHS used could sometimes be lazy. For instance, one of their contractors downplayed the issues with my HVAC system. Eventually, after another opinion, I received a whole new unit because the initial technician wasn’t thorough.

    Despite these challenges, having American Home Shield has been beneficial. They covered repairs for my heating and air conditioning systems, which would have been cumbersome and expensive without their service. While I've occasionally had to pay $100 service fees for different items, like for the system upstairs or wiring complications, the major work like replacing the whole unit was generally covered.

    However, I did face issues with their customer service, particularly when it came to receiving a copy of my policy. They promised to send a copy months ago, but I never received it, even after multiple follow-ups. It's frustrating to deal with representatives who don't fully understand the importance of delivering specific documentation as promised.

    On the whole, I would give American Home Shield a rating of 4 out of 5. While their service has covered significant expenses that I might not have managed otherwise, their customer-facing service leaves room for improvement.

    I recently had a couple of service experiences with American Home Shield. The most recent was a repair on my refrigerator, which had stopped keeping a cool temperature. I found the claim submission process over the phone to be straightforward. A Greenway contractor came out and was prompt, arriving the next day.

    Earlier, I had an issue with my dryer where the setting knob was not functioning correctly to set the timer. I submitted a claim, and Sears sent a contractor who also arrived promptly. The technician provided excellent service and explained the repair process. My dryer has been working perfectly since then.

    I've been with American Home Shield since we got our home in 1998, with perhaps one break in service. Although not always satisfied with their responses in the past, I appreciate having the coverage for when things do go wrong. One thing I like about the service is that once you pay the service fee, it's reassuring that they aim to complete the job.

    However, I have mixed feelings about recommending them because I've had negative experiences as well. There have been times when the service did not meet the contract's expectations, especially when it involved appliance replacements. But currently, I’m pleased because my recent dryer and refrigerator repairs were handled quickly.

    I recently had an electrical issue and contacted American Home Shield for assistance. They connected me with Ideal Electric, a company I hadn't used before. The technician was thorough, educational, and very kind. Although American Home Shield couldn't fix one problem covered under our warranty, due to warranty terms, I opted to pay out of pocket for a reasonably priced fix. Overall, it was a good experience.

    I started with American Home Shield in November, and if a friend asked, I'd say it's definitely a good idea to use their services. I would rate my experience with them at about 4 out of 5 stars. The customer service and quality of service were also good, earning them a rating of 4. Regarding their pricing, while I believe things could always be more affordable, it was acceptable.

    I've used their online website and app for service requests. While it functions well for single units, it becomes cumbersome when you have multiple air conditioning or heating units. In such situations, it seems more efficient to call them as the website doesn't easily accommodate multiple units. I think there's room for improvement in this area to make the process smoother.

    I had an experience with American Home Shield when I submitted a claim for my dishwasher, which wasn't working. The sprayer arm failed to operate, leading to dishes not being properly cleaned. I submitted the claim through their app, which was quite easy to use. However, I didn't receive any information about the contractors in advance; I was only informed that a service contractor had been assigned and they would call to set up an appointment.

    Sears was assigned to handle the dishwasher repair and visited multiple times. Unfortunately, their service was unsatisfactory. They claimed the water pressure was low, although a plumber later confirmed that this wasn't the issue. Sears seemed unprofessional at times, with instances where the technician didn't show up, claiming a lack of parking, or closed the ticket without resolving the problem.

    Despite these challenges, I would still give American Home Shield a rating of 3.5 to 4 stars based on my overall experience, mostly due to hassle-free handling of minor issues. Their services have typically been quick and problems are usually resolved promptly. I've been with them for about 10 years, since 2014, because having such a service seemed like a logical and convenient choice.

    For those considering American Home Shield, I would still recommend them, acknowledging both the pros and cons of their service. Overall, I'd rate their customer service, pricing, and app interface at around 4 stars, and the coverage itself at 5 stars. While there have been some frustrations, especially with larger issues, the convenience they offer is significant.
