    The air conditioner didn't work and was creating noise. We submitted a claim on the phone with AHS and their rep was very kind and polite. They sent out a tech from Island Breeze HVAC and he recognized the problem. He told me that he fixed it up and the service was good. The AC's performance has also been good since the repair.

    We're living in an older home and it's gonna take some major revisions. We usually call American Home Shield and the contractors they've sent have been good. A year ago, or so, we had a ceiling fan replaced. We also had someone take a look at a switch. We also submitted a claim for the ductwork which was something AHS could not repair. Still, everything that we have done has been great.

    Our air conditioner was not working. What we would do was to go out and reset it. When you reset it, the fan was having a hard time getting off dead-center. A starter capacitor had gone non-capacitated. We’ve used Trinity Heating forever. We’ve lived in the house for about 20 years, and we’ve used them since we’ve been there. We did not realize we could use American Home Shield to pay for them coming out, so we were stunned, amazed, and chagrined because we didn’t know about it 20 years ago. It was kind of like a win-win for us.

    Where we live in Alabama, it is considered the non-populated part of the state. So the problem we’ve had in the past was finding people to take the job. A water heater went out and we had a plumber guy who came and said he’d be there as soon as he got off his other job. He had a day job, and this was a part-time thing for him. So, finding people who would take American Home Shield is, in my neck of the woods, thin. But now with Trinity, our air-conditioning guy is good. Everything has been taken care of. They came out and fixed it, and then AHS took care of it.

    I had an issue with the refrigerator and AHS sent out David’s Appliance Service to repair it. But the refrigerator was over 32 years old and they could not repair it. So it was up to me to go buy a new one. I also had a company out for American Home Shield last week for the ceiling fan and they did some electric work. When I have a claim, I usually submit it over the phone and within a couple of business days, the contractors come out for the service. And the ones who came here seemed to be professional.

    I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for my drainage that was leaking. Navigating their site was fine. They sent their contractor R-Mech Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing and though the tech was a little late, it wasn't a big deal. He had to snake a line through and since then I've had no problems. Overall, I had a great experience with AHS.

    The reps on the phone did very well when I filed a claim for my air conditioner. Also, the contractor that came was very prompt and communicated well. They were excellent. However, based on other services I’ve had, it’s difficult to understand sometimes how American Home Shield can restrict certain types of services outside the contract. That’s a judgment issue. They often construe the language of their contract narrowly against the homeowner.

    I would recommend American Home Shield. I have not had any bad experiences with it. Recently, I called them for my air conditioner that had stopped cooling. They sent somebody out here and the person came right on. He was one of the better contractors that I have dealt with. He was very polite. He was very professional and he seemed to know what he was doing. He went right out there and got it fixed. He came back to the door and told me what it was. I signed the bill and he left. I got cool air and that's all you care with this 100-degree weather.

    When we first got started with American Home Shield, I had some issue. I have had two things tear up in like a month or so and I had to pay the co-payment each time. I was not happy about that. But now, I told that young man that was out here the last time and he said if it happens within 90 days or something, I don't have to pay a co-payment again. That's better. I used to pay every time I called American Home Shield and it was a little bit expensive.

    My recent claim went with American Home Shield went very well. The blower fan wasn’t kicking on so it wasn’t cooling the house. They found out that it was worn and old. It was 30 years old. The temperatures were 116 degrees with high humidity and they solved it within two business days. They replaced it very quickly. American Home Shield didn't give us any kind of nonsense about not kicking it back ‘cause it is wear and tear. It was fixed and it was during the hottest time we have lived out here so I was pleased with it. Prior to this claim, American Home Shield was also on my previous claims for the air conditioner, the hot water heater and some minor plumbing stuff. I’m very pleased with the service.

    My air conditioner stopped cooling and I submitted a claim for its repair on the American Home Shield app. Doing that was very easy and I was told that their contractor should contact me within 24 to 48 hours. Though the AC would work while their techs from Total Air Care, two hours later, the AC would stop working. They had to come back out three different times and the longest it would take for them to get back was a week. A different technician came each time too and each tech had set it to something different. Total Air Car added freon and replaced the fan motor. Even so, I ended up having to replace the inner breaker. The AC has been working since then.

He was out to my house two times and the first time, he diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. A couple of days later, he came and installed them.

    The fan of our air conditioner outside unit wasn't spinning, so the house was hot. I went online and submitted a claim to American Home Shield. It was pretty easy and simple to do. Then the contractor called me that night to set up an appointment, and they came out on Thursday, but they were coming from Jacksonville, which is about two hours from us. But they were very nice. It was a very simple fix, and tech explained everything that they did and walked us through step-by-step. They diagnosed the problem, then made sure there wasn't anything else wrong, and replaced the part. Everything has been great. When we had our sewer backed up to our septic and had to get pumped out, everything was extremely simple. I went online, submitted everything, and got a call back within less than 24 hours from a vendor. So far, it's been awesome with American Home Shield. All the vendors we've had have explained what they were doing.

    Our microwave had some moisture getting into it which shorted out the keypad. We submitted a claim online to American Home Shield. Their contractor called and scheduled but it took them a week to 10 days before they came out. The first time the tech came, he replaced the keypad and the issue happened again. He came out again and found out where the moisture was coming from and fixed that. Now, we're letting the microwave dry out and see if it'll work properly on its own. Thus far, trying to get AHS on the phone has been horrible. Every time I call, it's either 30 or 45 minutes trying to get an operator.

    I purchased my new home on one July 2019. I noticed the refrigerator was not getting very cold. I made a service request on 3 July 2019. I am still waiting for the completion of my refrigerator being serviced seven weeks later. I have called over a half a dozen times only to not understand the representative, to be placed on hold (one time for over an hour) by a service technician that identified herself as Nan. I am constantly refused when I asked to speak with a supervisor that or I’m placed on hold and eventually hung up on. Or all of a sudden they don’t understand my English. I have been told my service request is in queue, to contact them back in 24 to 48 hours. Guest what happens in 48 hours - absolutely nothing, “But ma’am it’s still in queue. Someone will contact you within 24 to 48 hours.”

    I made this call on 3 July 2019. Today’s date is 19 August 2019 and the same problem still exists. All brand appliances never came back. They stayed it because American Home Shield never pay them and American Home Shield home I have a contract with his ** to send another service provider to rectify the situation. I even asked for for refund so I can go to another company because $700 for a year is a lot of money to not be serviced at all. Again nothing. I would rather slit my wrist and bleed out than to ever deal with this company again.

    Requested an air conditioner repair on Saturday, August 17th. Happy to say the contractor was able to fit us in on Monday afternoon. Contractor came and found that a fan motor needed to be ordered. After speaking to the associate at the contractor's office that completes the order, we are informed that it will take 3-5 business days to get part in and that they will call and schedule repair once part is received.

    This is the second time this summer they have serviced the same unit. First time we were without air conditioning for 5 days. This time we have already been without for three days and are told that it will possibly take another week to repair. We were also told the first time that if it was above 95 degrees that they could expedite and put in an emergency call, but at that time it was upper 80’s. This time I call and tell them that the heat index is 97 degrees so I would like my part expedited so that it could be fixed as quickly as possible. I was told that the policy is now that it has to be 105 degrees or higher and that they can not expedite the part.

    After speaking to the associate and the supervisor that I waited for 45 minutes to talk to, I was told that the wouldn’t expedite the part and that if I wasn’t going to listen to her she was going to end the call. She promptly hung up on me. I was upset and extremely frustrated. Couldn’t find an area on their site on which to register a complaint. I was on the phone for an hour and twenty minutes only to be told they would not follow what I was told previously by one of their associates. I am extremely unhappy with the service I experienced today.

    Original Review: Aug. 19, 2019

    My AC compressor went out and was diagnosed in about 5 min. They took 3 days to begin the process (which didn't begin until I called) then another day to order the part. Then they said it would be another 3-4 days to receive it and make an appointment to install. I've had to stay at a hotel and they still cannot give me a date to get it fixed. It's summer..you'd think they'd put a rush on the part! Seems like they're dragging their feet...on top of that I have to pay out of pocket $500 for the Freon because they only cover $10.

    In July my air conditioner needed serviced. AHS could not find a repair company to come out so they authorized us to find our own technician and they would reimburse us. It took us many calls to find a technician because apparently AHS is horrible to work with and AC companies don't want to deal with their nonsense. We eventually found a company to help. I have been trying to get the reimbursement paid since July 15, calling AHS 1-2 times per week. Each time a rep tells me "we don't have your paperwork", I resubmit it, they confirm receipt & say the bill will be paid. I call back to follow up & they tell me "we don't have your paperwork". I resubmit it. They confirm receipt & say it will be paid. And this goes on over & over & over. This has been going on for weeks - it's truly ridiculous. I repeated these steps again today for the 6-7 time. I'm guessing I'll never see this money. BUYER BEWARE.

    In May, I had issues with my central AC. Called and scheduled for a repair. Paid fee and it took 3 weeks for the company to come out. AHS could NOT find anyone else to do it and just ask that I wait. This is in over 90 degrees weather as well. AC tech comes out, can't diagnose and leaves saying someone else will come. I called to find out when and was told I need to do another request for service due to AHS policy! Called AHS and they "processed" my request as if this was normal even after I explained what happened. SAME tech came and said, “Oh okay we will replace a part.” He replaced it. Still have issues. Called again. Sent SAME tech. (No one else is available.) Replaced something else. 5th time, we are now in late July and still not fixed. Tech states he tried everything and will have to replace. Another 3 weeks go by and today finally a person comes out. Was told it would be $3000 for installation costs to replace only the inside unit.

    Could not tell me why it was so much and blamed AHS for not covering anything. Called AHS and was on hold for over 2 hours and no one could tell me why there was $3000 of uncovered charges. Spoke with 4 people each stating they will "escalate" my call. Finally said they will email a "department" to call me within 48 hours. Meanwhile, I called 3 local companies and all quoted $4000 and under for a complete system with installation for inside AND outside. I am in disbelief how shoddy AHS has gotten. I have had them for over 6 years and used them once 2 years ago for a minor kitchen repair satisfactorily. This is unacceptable.

    In my opinion AHS should check the background and credentials for some of their CONTRACTORS to ensure that customers are getting the very best experience possible that's met with a certain amount of professionalism. One of the CONTRACTOR in question is AARON'S PLUMBING, HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING. This establishment is not good for your brand and lacks the basic necessities of being a good company such as quality work and being responsive to your customer base. The one other thing I will say is if I have another PLUMBING issue and this company is all you can provide I will discontinue your services.

    American Home Shield Home Warranty review. I've been trying to get my a/c condenser/coil repaired for over 11 weeks. The temperature has been in the high 90's with a heat index well over 100 degrees. My family and I have been suffering and overwhelmed by the heat. American Home Shield and the service contractors have shown little or no sympathy and compassion when it comes to getting my a/c up running and cooling. Two different service contractors have been out with no success in fixing the problem. Each contractor has replaced parts costing me nearly $1000 in uncovered costs. Yet still, my unit is inoperable.

    The contractors are not taking the responsibility and are blaming the other. One also tried to contribute the cause of the malfunctioning on other parts not directly related to the problem without fixing the problem itself. Sounds pretty much like the auto repair shop technique which tries to get you to buy into other repairs out of pocket. Once again I'm scheduled for another service visit making this 11 weeks and counting since notifying AHS. AHS and the contractors aren't the bit concerned about how long my family has been suffering. I've repeatedly asked AHS and the contractors if they can prioritize my appointment since I've been out a/c for so long. Neither has shown compassion or concern by suggesting that their schedules are full. My question to them was, "who on that schedule has been without air conditioning for over 60 days"? I'm totally disappointed with AHS and the contractors that were sent out.

    I need AHS to stop sending contractors out that are contradicting the other. Most of all I need AHS to APPROVE replacing the air handler unit and stop playing games. My family deserves better treatment from a home warranty company that proclaims to be one of the best in the industry. Prove it!!! Get me some air conditioning NOW! This will be 12 weeks or more and counting that I have been without air conditioning. Why is it so difficult to express next day order the part and prioritize my repair schedule. This is not the level of service I expected from a highly rated warranty company and their contractors.

    Now I’m in the waiting stages again. The Contractual relations department received a second opinion for the 3rd contractor and has been given me the runaround because they haven’t made a decision to repair or replace my air handler. The second opinion contractor is the 3rd contractor sent out to my home. The 3rd contractor agreed with the 2nd contractor stating that my unit was damaged by the 1st contractor. The 1st contractor pleaded innocent and created a diagnosis that would get them off the hook for making the repairs. But I have 2 contractors standing by their diagnosis. They are totally in agreement that the air handler needs to be replaced. AHS, we’re literally suffering trying to live in a hot house. Many of our days are spent by relatives to get some kind of relief and comfort. Totally Disappointed, H. ** Louisiana.

    I made the mistake of signing up after reading all the bad reviews, only because I had them before and they had been a good co. My hot water heater went out and a plumber responded. The hot water heater and service was supposed to be fully covered and per the contract it was supposed to be replaced by the same size. I was told by the company that the fee was going to be over $600 plus the $125 service fee and that was for a 55 gal. tank. My tank was an 80 gal. They said that the extra fees were because they had to fit the new pipes on the tank, which they did with flex piping which was actually easier than using copper. After repeated calls to AHS I was told that I would receive a check for $249 for the difference in tank size but I would have to pay the fee to the plumber if I wanted the tank installed.

    I agreed, because I had been without hot water for 5 days, even though they were giving half the difference of what an 80 gal. tank cost and the plumber was charging me just as much as a quote I had received by an outside plumber. After not receiving the check for a month. I called back and was told that I would not receive a check because the work was done. When I said that I wanted to cancel she said that I would have to be transferred and I was put on hold for a couple minutes and then hung up on, this happened twice. I made the mistake of not listening to the reviews and I'm only writing this to hopefully help others to not make the same mistake.

    Currently, I have two separate policies with American Home Shield. In the beginning, navigating their website was a bit complicated as not both of the policies were accessible online. Now it's fine. Previously, I filed a claim with American Home Shield for my AC unit and I really liked the air conditioner guy they sent. The AC has been working fine since then. More recently, I have one claim filed to American Home Shield for a stovetop that needed to be repaired and a washing machine that is being replaced. For that claim, I had to pay one deductible. With the appliance people however, I tend to have to call them and follow up. Still, they did a fine job.

    Our air went out on a Friday night. The fan worked, and I tried to re-cycle it. I went out to the breaker. I did everything I know but we had no idea what the problem was. I got out the warranty and I called. It took an hour and a half to get anybody to answer. It was Friday night and I called back on Saturday. We were going through a real good heat wave out there. While I was on the phone, the guy was very nice and said, “Let me try to find somebody. Bear with me, I’m on number three.” Then he said, “Okay, I found him. They will either call you. Here’s their number.” I was relieved. The guy from Orangutan Home Services came out at 5 o’clock on a Saturday. I was starting to get nervous but he showed up. He went up on the roof and said it was my compressor. He gave me the amount for the Freon. There was a $10 credit which was nothing ‘cause Freon’s expensive.

    He said, “Well, you probably won’t hear anything till Monday.” So on Monday, I got on the phone and I did get a call. We got another call and another issue, and the rep said she located the part. Earlier in the day with Orangutan, they had no idea. They said, “You know what, we have to go with what they say. They’ll tell us where to pick up the part.”

    I was told that they were told that the estimated completion date of the job was August 12th. We’re 77 years old and it was 110 degrees outside. I said that was ridiculous and they said they were expediting it. The first customer service person said to call them back Thursday so that was three more days. My wife said I was too nice to that guy. So, I called back, and I got a really helpful guy. He said, “Listen, let me check everything out. Do me a favor, give the parts people till tomorrow morning,” which I did. We were sleeping in front of fans. As it turns out, at that point, Orangutan said American Home Shield gave them authorization. They called back and scheduled us for 11:00 to 3:00 on Wednesday. The guy came out and did a great job.

    In looking back, American Home Shield came through although along the way, it was a little dicey like always with warranty. But only because I know how stuff worked and I said to the first guy, “Can I speak to a supervisor?” He said I was just gonna be wasting my time and that he could help as much as them but he wasn’t as helpful. With the second customer service person, I’ve learned it’s the luck of the draw when you talk to customer service with anything so it turned out, realistically, okay. And the guy was happy with the unit. It’s a Rheem unit and he put in an LG compressor. The good thing is he said there’s a ratio between incoming and outgoing air. He said, “You’re a 24, and the minimum is like 20. But 24 is excellent.” What it’s telling me is that the unit is working well.

    Appliance Professionals came out to service our refrigerator. We had a very loud noise coming from it that was persistent. It was on and off. It would kinda calm down for maybe a split-second and be noisy right back up. I did the claim on a Sunday and Appliance Professionals contacted us on Monday. They were very expedient when they contacted us back. They were very professional too. They were on-time, prompt and courteous. They evaluated our refrigerator and said the issue was secondary to probably the compressor starting to fail. They gave an estimate of what they thought the amount was gonna be to fix that. They contacted American Home Shield back and told us that it was gonna be up to American Home Shield, whether or not American Home Shield would replace, or whether or not American Home Shield would choose to fix it.

    American Home Shield opted to replace the refrigerator but it took a little while. I ended up calling back in at some point to kind of clarify that. They asked the exact dimensions of the refrigerator and the model number. They calculated and gave us a quote for an estimate of either cash payout or a model that they felt would be a good one. It was an outstanding experience and I’d absolutely recommend American Home Shield.

    I called American Home Shield and told them what was going on. I had two issues at the time, one was for an outlet that was not working and the other was for some water leak which I initially thought was coming from the tub. But it turned out to be from the AC and when the water stopped leaking, I had to call and cancel that claim. And AHS refunded me my deductible. They did a really good job and I appreciate that.

    Their claims process was very easy and you don’t have to go back and forth. It's just a one-time call and AHS takes care of it. For my other claim, the contractors came within a day and fixed the issue. They were very good as well. I directed them to the issue and they went over all the outlets I have in the house. So, it was not like they just did whatever was out. They checked everything, made sure everything was working before they left, and they left their phone numbers and told me to call them if there was any other issue as far as the outlet was concerned.

    The outside unit of the HVAC would work intermittently. There was like a conductor so when the AC itself turns on, you hear it kinda clicks on. This conductor completes the circuit, and that’s when the outside fan turns on and blows the cold air inside. This conductor thing wasn’t always completing the circuit so sometimes, it would run and it would stop. Then I’d have to go outside and hit the machine or actually open it up and hit the conductor so it would contact the other nodes so the nodes would be in contact.

    I called American Home Shield this time to make sure that they didn’t send Cool Factory out ‘cause I didn’t want them coming back to my house. They came out a few times and they were garbage. The guy from NOVA, Jorge, came out and he was great. It was actually working and I explained it to him. He opened up my machine, started messing with it, and he kind of tapped that conductor and it shut off like it shouldn’t have. And he said, “Yeah, that’s the problem.” The experience with NOVA was good. Jorge was able to diagnose the issue the first time. He understood that he didn’t have the correct part. He went and ordered the part then he came back out in like two business days and fixed it. That was a fantastic turnaround.

    When technicians come out, you want them to know what they’re doing. And Jorge clearly knew what he was doing. There's a big difference between NOVA and Cool Factory. My AC unit was running even though I had been experiencing issues. I explained what was going on and he took the time to try to figure out what I was telling him. My AC was always working intermittently and every time Cool Factory came out and if my AC was running at the time, regardless of how much I would explain to them, they’d say, “Well, it’s working now. You gotta call us back when it’s broken.” So, I was actually scheduling for them to come out hoping that my AC would not work when they showed up. With NOVA, their professionalism was fantastic. The expertise of their technician was fantastic, and they diagnosed my problem and fixed it. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

    I had set the oven to do a self-cleaning for three hours, and when two hours were up, and F9 error code popped up. I looked at that online and it said it was a problem with the locking process. It stayed locked for the cycle for another hour, and then it unlocked. Unfortunately, because it was so hot and I did it late at night, I had to stay up that whole time because I didn’t know if it was gonna go for 12 hours at over 550 degrees. The guy sent by American Home Shield came out and replaced the locking mechanism itself. He couldn't stay there to monitor it, so that night, I did another three-hour cleaning. It went two hours, went F9, then it started beeping. It didn’t beep the first time.

    The guy came back out and inspected the wires, and then realized it was the control panel. He ordered the part, which can be in on Monday and they’re gonna be out Tuesday to fix it. He was very professional and courteous. While he was there, we talked about other appliances and he was a very knowledgeable guy. It was an excellent experience, not only with LA Appliance but the website for American Home shield to report a problem. Because the oven wasn't fixed, I went back online and it gave the option to say, “It’s not fixed,” get immediate response and have the vendor calling.

They were top-notch and didn't waste and cut down the speed in replacing the spring.

    I have American Home Shield covering my rental property and the air conditioning unit went out there. It was just a simple switch that went out and the contractor came out to fix that so that was good. Recently, Clovis Heating and Cooling went through my air conditioner. It is old so nothing was changed. A week after they came out, it finally gave out. The only problem was that they were gonna charge me $1,200 for Freon because they had to replace the system and didn't cover Freon. I wasn't gonna waste money on taking a chance on it going back out again just because they replaced the part. So, I just went ahead and bought a brand new air conditioning unit outright and I didn't go through them. It cost me almost $4,000.

    The whole reason I got American Home Shield was I knew the air conditioner was probably gonna go out this summer, but I still ended up having to pay for it myself. I guess the way it works is the unit has to be completely dead. They'll keep refixing parts until it finally dies. If they would have paid for the Freon, I would have been okay, but they did not. I don't know if American Home Shield is worth it or not anymore. I'm debating on keeping them or not.

    My most recent claim was for my washing machine wherein the actual drumhead detached itself and it would've cost more to repair it than to replace it. I processed it online and it was very easy. The contractor already knew what was wrong with it, and we told him the noise it was making. We told him that we thought the drum had detached itself ‘cause it was making all kinds of noise and leaking water, and what we told him was correct. He diagnosed it and let us know that he would submit it in. However, my air conditioner started leaking for the same thing that American Home Shield was supposed to have fixed a year ago, and I ended up having to pay another $75. I ended up cancelling it and just looking at it myself. If it’s something that had been worked on, even though it's been a year, I shouldn’t had to pay the $75. Nonetheless, I’m satisfied and I recommend AHS.

    I have two claims I submitted and they're both similar. My AC was running hot downstairs, and I had already paid for someone to come out and work on it, but they were unable to work on it. I then called American Home Shield and said, "Hey, guys, maybe y'all have better luck." They went to their process on trying to fix it. And through that, they were very slow in fixing the problem. I requested an outside contractor, which I was granted. They came out, they assessed the situation, then, American Home Shield didn't believe them, so they sent out someone else. With the third person that came out and serviced it, it was the same thing. So, they went ahead and ordered a replacement condenser and coil. I was supposed to have landed at the contractors today to get installed, but he won't return my phone calls.

    I'm being told that he is taking a four-day vacation before he installs it, which is a problem because during this process, my other AC unit also went out. I have someone come out to evaluate it and try to get it working. They did that, and then, it has been blowing hot and cold intermittently. And so, my wife opened another claim on that unit as well because it just seems to be working half the time. I've called them but it goes to voicemail. My wife has called them and he'd take her calls sometimes. The equipment was ordered by American Home Shield back on 8/13 and that was a over two weeks ago.

    We then called American Home Shield saying, "Hey, our guy is supposed to be on vacation. He's not gonna install our unit. We need someone else that can do it. I don't care who you pick but pick someone else." They said they couldn't do that as he was already contracted to do the job, and that the equipment had already been assigned to him. Yesterday, my wife was on hold for 45 minutes, yelling at them to get a manager, and we never get in contact with a supervisor. I live in South Texas and it was 110 degrees heat index yesterday. My wife and my three-year-old had spent the last week and a half with my in-laws in Corpus Christi, which has been an hour and a half away from where I work. We are still waiting.

    We initially had a regular check with the air conditioning unit. The claim was submitted over the phone and the representatives we spoke to were cooperative. The contractor came out and checked it. They said everything was fine and they left. About a week later, the air conditioning unit went off and we had to submit a whole new claim. The second guy came out and got the unit back and working. Then the air conditioning unit started to have a water leak in the ceiling and it messed up all the floors which have not been repaired. We called back and the third guy came out then and called in the problem. It got clogged up. He said that the first who came should’ve caught that. We suspect that the first guy just did a routine check, he didn't do a very thorough one and that had caused the problem. The third guy got some equipment and fixed it. It’s been working fine ever since then.

    However, the damage that the leakage caused has not been done and American Home Shield knew that it happened. We had to get our insurance but we don’t if it's gonna be enough to cover all of the damages. Overall, American Home Shield was good up to that point.

    We had a leaky garbage disposal and we had some problems at first when the first contractor that AHS assigned to us never contacted us. And whenever we called, we always got voicemail and they never called us back. So, after a couple of days, we had to have a different contractor assigned. But they took care of the job on the same day and we had no problem. I'd recommend AHS.

    When my pipes going to the faucet outside had leaks, American Home Shield got me a plumber who came early and provided great service. He reminded me that every winter, I should take the water hoses off the faucet outside. I learned something new and I like his personality. He had been there before when he fixed the leak on the other side of the house too. All in all, everything is great.

    I had a dishwasher leaking and the water was falling all the way to the floor. I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield and though navigating their site was pretty easy, it would be good if there was a way to submit two claims at one time. Still, the contractors whom they sent were excellent. The tech who came fixed the gasket.

    One of my AC units broke down when the temperature in Phoenix was around 110 degrees, so the house was 90 degrees. Still, I had a very good experience with American Home Shield. My claim was filed immediately, and within 24 hours I had already an appointment set up. The person who came in was very customer service-oriented and he had very good knowledge and experience. I could tell that he was paying a lot of attention to detail. He inspected multiple parts and determined that the problem was one of the relay, a little piece that was not touching on electricity from one side to the other of the AC unit and he replaced that. Within 40 minutes, the issue was resolved, and I had my AC back on again. I am very satisfied with the overall process from end to end.

    The air conditioner fan blade broke and I called it in. American Home Shield's reps were perfect. They told me it would take two to four days for a contractor to come out. And then, I called back at four days and they said there would be another couple of days, and then it took two weeks. So, it was really not good. My brother-in-law said, “Those motors only cost $40. Why don’t you just put a new motor on?” It’s about $20 to ship in the blade. I don’t understand why they didn’t just put a new motor in. But maybe my brother-in-law was just mistaken about the $40. But they fixed it. Everything is working fine now. It was a 90 degree heat and the repair took longer. So, it was a little tough, but we survived. American Home Shield is doing great.

    American Home Shield is very helpful we're satisfied with them. We call them when we have claims and speak with a live person. So far, we've had no problems with anyone. When we had multiple claims at once, R&S Home Maintenance was sent out to fix our microwave, washer, dryer, and refrigerator. They thought they fixed it all. But the microwave and the washer went back out. R&S came and checked that. They had to order parts for the washer. As for the microwave, we're going to get a brand new one because they can't come up with a part anymore. In less than a week, the dryer went back out. It took R&S days to look at it. Now, they have to order parts for the dryer.

    I have two accounts with American Home Shield and I had two issues two weeks apart. One of the accounts is for a rental property I have and there, the air conditioner stopped working. I couldn't get anybody out 'til the next day. It was a really hot day, and I was hoping we can get somebody out earlier or the same day, just because I had renters there who were not very happy. They had couple of little kids in the house. I'm sure it was pretty uncomfortable with it being so hot that day.

    At my own house, I started getting backups from the main drain in our lower level which is our furnace room. The drains were coming back up and water was coming back up also through the downstairs shower drain. It was starting to flood. I submitted a claim for that issue online to American Home Shield and found their process pretty easy. The techs from D2 plumbing was out by the next day.

    American Home Shield has been very helpful to us. The guy that they sent out for our plumbing claim was very knowledgeable. We had a slow water flow issue, and he walked me around and showed me what the issues were. He explained how I could fix it myself going forward. So he wasn’t afraid to talk to me about that and point out what was causing the slow water flow. He was very open and honest. It a was really good experience.

    Submitting the claim has been easy. I sometimes do it over the phone since it is easier to describe what is happening. I encountered an issue with our oven claim a while ago. We have a wall oven and it could not be fixed after the technician came. They told me that the part was no longer in-stock. So it was recommended that we take the door off, take the hinges off, and then it could be repaired. But it would take 10 weeks to see if American Home Shield could find a replacement for it. If they couldn’t, then we get a $150 credit towards the oven. We were a little upset with that because it would only be $150 even though it is a $3,000 unit. We managed to get through that, and it was the only hiccup that we had.

    We were having some trouble with the lights in the house. The bathroom went out a couple of times and then there were times when the entire house would go down just for a second, then come back, and five minutes later, the same thing would happen. But it was localized into our house. It wasn’t a neighborhood problem. The contractor called the next day after submitting the claim and scheduled an appointment for three days later. One gentleman came and he answered all our questions. I was concerned about the fire hazard stuff and I asked him to test some of the outlets in the house. He walked around and tested as many as he could see that weren’t covered by furniture and he schooled us a little bit about how it works with the main button that is pushed to reset. It’s like the central hub. Everything worked correctly and we haven’t had any trouble since that day.

    We also had some plumbing situation and a different contractor came out for that last week. We had an exterminator out and he did an inspection underneath the house and he said that we had two leaks in the bathroom so we called American Home Shield to schedule an appointment and the plumber came out. He figured out that it wasn’t really even a leak. It was just that the bathtub faucet needed caulking around it so the water was leaking through there. He was here for about an hour and a half or so while he was testing everything. Everything went fine with that too.

    We called in a problem with our refrigerator on 8/1/2019, a tech came to our home to look at the refrigerator on 8/7/2019 and gave us the following options: (1) have the refrigerator replaced (2) have the parts ordered for this older refrigerator which would basically rebuild it (non-energy saving). On Friday, 8/9 I checked online, the service request is in authorization review. Today, I called to ask what was delaying the repair or replacement, the representative told me they needed to call the contractor to verify the parts that needed to be ordered, AHS informed me that they would make the determination.

    My question to AHS, is why are you calling today? If I wouldn't have called, my service request would still be waiting for AHS to call the contractor to order the parts or work with AHS to identify a replacement. To make things worse, the AHS representative asks me to call AHS back on Monday so they can call the contractor. I said, why do you need me on this call, you already mentioned that AHS would be making the decision... We don't care, we just want our refrigerator replaced or fixed! The response was, "OK, we will call you on Monday, may we have your phone number.. information that is on my contract, profile and provided when you call in.... This is TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!

    I recently signed up for Home Warranty service with AHS and was disappointed with their service and ultimately cancelled my account after my first incident and claim with them. We had a pipe burst in our basement that was flooding water on a Saturday night. After calling AHS they said they'd get a tech to call me back that night for emergency service. I never got a call and finally got through to the plumber AHS lined up on Monday morning. I was able to get my own plumber to come out Saturday night to address the issue. AHS still charged me the $100 fee and wouldn't reimburse me for the $300 I spent on my plumber because I didn't go through the proper process. I've had much better luck with other Home Warranty services. I could not recommend American Home Shield to anyone.

    I scheduled to request service for my A/C unit on a Saturday. I knew something was wrong with my A/C unit by the sound it was now making. I have had many different things replaced on my A/C unit before thru the American Home Shield warranty company. Most recent was the Compressor within 2 years, and other items prior to that such as the capacitor, contractor, coil, drip pan.

    When the technician came out on Wednesday, his diagnoses was compressor is going out. I questioned him as, "Are you sure it's not a bearing or something on the fan unit? I had the similar noise before and that was the repair." He said no, his tests show that low voltage or draw from the compressor is showing it's going to fail. I told him that the compressor was just changed less than two years ago and that it seems funny that my original compressor lasted 17 years and the new one installed 2 years ago is going out. He said that your warranty company (American Home Shield) is not going to have us fix it until it is no longer working. His wording on the paperwork says "Compressor is making a lot of noise due to the compressor valve air going out making compressor pull amps but still working hard/will submit to Home warranty if they want to do anything." "Compressor on way out soon but don't know when".

    My wife has medical problems and does not do well in the heat. It has been over 110 degrees lately here in AZ where we live. I don't want to wait for a complete breakdown and then have to wait for the American Home Shield warranty to schedule someone again to come out. We then will have to wait for another diagnosis and then for the American Home Shield Warranty Company to order the part and wait to be scheduled for the repair.

    This same thing happened to me before and it was about a week and 1/2 process to finally get it fixed. If there is a problem and they know it, why isn't the corrective action taken before a complete breakdown? Why am I getting charged the call out fee for nothing that was done? This is like you running over a nail and your tire pressure is going down because your car tells you that you have low pressure but the company tells you to just add air until it blows. This isn't right. Robert

    I have been a customer for almost 8 years. American Home Shield doesn't care about your issue. I've called several times to address my plumbing issue and every time they send the worst company in town it takes them days to get to you. Last time they sent a plumber who was at least 70 and could climb under the house and then he says, "I can't work in water" and we had to go 3 weeks with no water. The plumber was out less than a month ago and I wake up this morning to water spuing everywhere.

    Oh and less than a year ago AHS made me pay $491 for the Water heater. I call today and they start with their crap you'll have to contact the company where my heater came from. No help. Just a bunch of yadda yadda yadda. They really don't care. I would recommend anyone use American Home Shield. Their contractors are awful. You'd be better off going to HomeAdvisor and hiring your own reputable professional and cut out AHS all together. Awful customer support.

I did text him back at the end because he said I had a warranty that I needed to submit to the microwave company but he never texted me back and I don't like anybody not returning my texts.

    American Home Shield had somebody come out and checked my air conditioning unit because I didn’t think it was working up to standards. AHS took care of things promptly and had somebody out. It worked out pretty well for us. The technician was very professional in his service. He checked the unit and everything seemed to be okay. He tried to put a little bit of Freon in but that wasn’t helping anything. Overall, I was satisfied with everything that was done.

    My impression was, and the technician kind of indicated this, I felt maybe my air conditioner was a little too small for my house. The technician said the only problem with trying to get a larger air conditioner had to do with getting the proper airflow. He said I could go up a little bit but I probably couldn’t do much more than that. That aside, his temperature readings on the outside temperature, the inside temperature was within spec. Everything was copacetic. It worked out very well for us. Also, there was no extra charge for extra Freon and stuff like that.

    Sears installed a new hot water almost a year ago and I called them because there was no cold water. It was mostly hot water. They sent the one that installed it and he fiddled on every outlet of the water. That has nothing to do with all these outlets, but it’s the connection that they did over in the back. They could not find it so he just went around and fiddled everything until he got to the washing machine and made all kinds of things over there. Now, the knob in the washing machine is broken.

    I had problem all weekend because it’s flowing. I was calling American Home Shield on a Saturday and they said they would call me in two hours to give me updates if anybody was coming, and they never called. So, I called back. It was another lady and she said they were looking for somebody that would come in within four hours. That would be 10 o’clock at night but they never called so I gave up on them and went on my own way. I called somebody else to come and do it because it was leaking in between the walls of the garage.

    I told American Home Shield to tell Sears to call me. They left a message, but they never called. Sears is bad. They cost more trouble for me than installing that thing. They called this morning that somebody would come, and I said, “No. It’s too late already. Somebody’s scheduled, they’re on their way here.” I also had another issue in the past with some other company that American Home Shield sent for the kitchen sink. I even suggested to them they had to change the filter. I had the parts, but they wouldn’t do anything. They said I needed a new one and that was all they could say. They didn’t want to touch anything. I think they didn’t know what to do. There was one guy who was good. He was the one that suggested on the new water heater.

    I made a claim that my washer was not working. At my request, American Home Shield sent a person to check it out. That person came on a Monday and said that they had to order a part and they would be back on Friday. They didn't come back on Friday so I had to call them on Monday. He said that the part hasn’t come in yet. Then he called me back later that day and told me that the part arrived and that I should make an appointment so I did that the following Thursday. They come out and supposedly replaced the control unit and the water shut-off valve but the washer still didn't work. They went back and did the report to AHS then AHS sent out another company for a second opinion.

    The second one came out to the property and said that he had to replace the same thing that the first company said they were replacing. I tried to call the second company and I asked to speak to the technician who came out to the house and looked at the washer. The woman on the other line said that the guy was in the meeting and that she'll have him call me back. I waited three hours later and then I called the number back. I asked if the guy was still in the meeting and the woman said that she forgot to tell him and that she'll have him call me that time. Well, that never happened until this past Friday. And so, I explained to him that the part that he’s ordering is the same part that the first company said they ordered and replaced. He said he'd call them to find out but I still haven't heard back from him.

    I already talked to American Home Shield and the guy sent me over to the purchasing department. The purchasing department said that they don’t have this information and that it would be best if I'd be at the property near the appliance as I wasn’t currently there when I first called, but I had been on hold for a while. So, then today I called back to see if I could get something resolved and I was on hold for 54 minutes. When I talked to the lady, she said they were still waiting on the part. I think there’s a bunch of confusion going on.

    I’ve only made two claims since I’ve had AHS. The first one went okay. I just bought a dishwasher, brand new, but it wasn’t working, so I made the claim. I watched the guy come in the house, look at it, pull his wrench out, tighten the bolt up, and walk right back out the house. Not even five minutes. I still had to pay the $75. It has been working ever since. But I am dissatisfied with this current situation because with school starting back and all that, having to go and lug clothes to the laundromat when I had a washer and dryer in my home is just an inconvenience. AHS charged me the initial $75 but nothing has been resolved. We’re still without a washer for about almost five weeks now. They thought they fixed the issue but they never did.

    I made a service request online because I have a leaking pipe in my house and I had called to have a plumber come out to identify where the leak was and to fix it. They assigned me to the contractor, and then I got an email back that said I'd be contacted within 24 hours to schedule, but the plumber never called me. So, after two or three days, I started calling, trying to find out. I found out that I needed to reach out to him, that he alleged that he was unable to reach me, which was not true.

    And so, after a week, we finally got in touch with him. He showed up at my house two weeks from the date that I submitted the request, and he spent literally three minutes in the house before he said there was no leak and this wasn’t covered. He then stormed out of my house. Since then, I’ve called three or four more times to try to let American Home Shield know that there is a leak. I then called a company to come out on my own and paid out-of-pocket, and they found a six-inch break in the pipe in the wall. I have pictures of it that I can email or send in. It’s a six-inch break in the pipe inside the perimeter of the home. I did not get it fixed. AHS said that they were waiting on a report from the plumber who came in for three minutes and stormed out.

    Also, in the second and third time that I called American Home Shield, I requested a different plumber, and they said they could not do that until they had gotten a report from this man. And they actually tried to call him twice while I was on the phone, and both times, they said his voicemail was full and they couldn’t leave him a voicemail. I’ve been trying to work with American Home Shield to get this situation resolved, but I have not had a resolution yet. My entire kitchen is dismantled. The cabinets are out and the wall is open. I just need them to send a plumber who will fix the break in the pipe. It’s been over a week since I started calling, and I’m at the point where I’m talking to an attorney about what I need to do with it. I’ve had them for seven years and up until this incident, I would’ve rated them very highly because they’ve always been responsive and I never had a problem like this.

    When we came to our current location, a refrigerator was conveyed to us and it promptly broke down. We had problems at that point with American Home Shield as I was talking to somebody in the Philippines and they had a guy who was very unresponsive. I called him and he told me he had seven days to come. I canceled on him immediately when I checked online and found so many adverse comments about him. For that concern, we ended up not filing with AHS because of the guy they had. At that point, we were without a refrigerator and we were trying to get going. We flipped over and found out that we could get the compressor for a fridge from LG. However, it turned out that their guy couldn't get our refrigerator going anyway so we bought a new one. Even so, I don't know why AHS referred me to a guy that was 60 miles away and with a very bad reputation.

    We had an entirely different situation the second time we sought service from American Home Shield. We bought a house that had been a rental and there were keys floating around all over. For safety reasons, we submitted a claim for a rekey job over the phone to American Home Shield. I got a contractor immediately almost the next day.

    American Home Shield's online claims process is fairly easy and simple. It usually takes about 48 hours to contact me. But I'm usually calling them the next day because they take took long to call. I understand that if you call on the weekend, you have to wait till the next business day, but they don’t usually call the next business day. It’s usually the day after. But the service has been fine. But the air conditioning ordeal was horrible. We were without air conditioning for over a week and it was a 100-degree weather. The turnaround time was entirely too long, and we had to stay in a hotel.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield since 2014, and this was the first time I’ve been very dissatisfied and considering going with another home warranty company because of how long that took for my air conditioning. It was because of American Home Shield not wanting to approve the work, and I’ve never had that happen. They were only gonna pay for one night at a hotel. This was very inconvenient, and the whole ordeal was ridiculous. I would not recommend American Home Shield. I was online looking at all of the complaints, and it looked like everybody from everywhere was on their Facebook page. Somebody needs to go look into that, complaining about their air conditioning being out and getting the same runaround being without air. So, there’s definitely a disconnect and a problem with the turnaround time with American Home Shield taking forever to approve the job.

    I filed a claim with AHS because the fan of my AC was going, but the AC wasn’t blowing any cold air. The temperature was set to 72, but it was 82 degrees in the house. The process was easy to me and A.R.T. Heating & Air came out within the next day. They were there for about 45 minutes, and I haven’t had any issues so far.

    My mother is happy with American Home Shield. Recently, there was a leak in one of the bathtubs in her house and there were two separate companies that came out and looked. The first company said that there wasn't a leak, and it was fine. Then we noticed it was leaking again so we called American Home Shield and they sent a second company out. They said that the bathtub was cracked, not to use it, and get back in touch with the home warranty. So, we called American Home Shield and they sent back the first company again which came out and found that it wasn't the bathtub. It was the drainpipe which coming from the bathtub that was cracked. They fixed it then came back and repaired the sheetrock that they cut out. They did a great job.

    The first two times that we had the contractors weren't very good. It felt like that they didn't really do a very good job diagnosing or kinda communicating or taking care of any of the problem. The third time which was the same original company, my mother said that those guys were great. They talked to her and communicated really well with her. They were very friendly and they made sure to get everything taken care of. They got it rescheduled on their own to come back and do the sheetrock.

    The heating element of our dryer went out and the water valve of our washer was leaking. I made my claim online with American Home Shield and that worked okay. After a couple of days, an appliance company came to our house. They were personable and things went well. They did their work and explained what they did. They had to order parts then come back. When the door switch wasn’t quite working right for one day, I put a ticket back in. The guy came back and let me know what to look for. That has been working ever since.

    American Home Shield sent TruFix Repair out to service our request on the refrigerator. It wasn’t allowing any water to get through the thing in the water door. And on top of that, it kept leaking at the bottom and I was getting ice buildup on the bottom. American Home Shield's reps have always been really good. We’ve been dealing with them for quite some time. The guy from TruFix was very polite, very professional, and provided quick service. He went through what he did step-by-step. He had to order a part which we had to wait for, and as soon as the part came in, he called and set up another appointment, came back, and did it. My overall experience with American Home Shield was so easy. All you have to do is make the call, they take care of the rest.

    Original Review: Aug. 17, 2019

    I made a request on the 26th of July and Antech Appliances came out and fixed my icemaker. I had another service call that I made that day for an air-conditioning repair and that has been a terrible experience. The company was called Total Heating and Cooling. They came out and looked at the air conditioner, and they wanted to relocate the entire air conditioner. I said that I live in a condo-type building and there’s no other place to put it. There’s a pump that apparently needs to be replaced because there’s a drain issue and they’ve never gotten back to me. I called AHS and they told me to wait, and that the contractor would get in touch with me, which he finally did. But then after he said he had to order a pump, he hasn’t gotten back to me, and that’s been a couple of weeks now. I would have to call AHS back about that because the contractor apparently doesn’t respond.

    There are some service techs that AHS contracts with who are fine and there are other service techs that don’t know what they’re doing or are non-responsive, or if you look them up on Yelp, they have a rating of 1, and that’s who the air-conditioning tech was so he’s pretty bad. So it’s kind of the luck of the draw with the AHS service techs.

I have been trying to get a response from AHS as to what action they will take with this regard, on line I am advised that "Authorization is under review". I have called several times and I am told the same thing (that they are waiting for authorization), from people who can barely speak English.

    We have used our warranty three times. With the first two we had no issue as we did not have to contact AHS directly. We used the website to request service and the independent tech got a hold of us and fixed covered item. The issue is the third time, second time our oven went out. After the tech came and informed us the oven could not be fixed here is where the problem starts. We waited three days to hear from them and after no contact, we contacted them. We got a woman overseas that barely spoke English, had to call again, again got a woman who barely spoke English. We were told four different things about our issue.

    After two more phone calls I finally got a rep in the states and was able to find out our oven was in fact going to be replaced. She could not authorize it tho as the replacement oven exceed her allowed amount but was under our contract amount. What? She had to get supervisor approval and promised to call us back before business close that day no matter what. Three based and business close came. I then waited the next business day, hoping to get hear from rep, Nope. Do not trust their reps. Do not expect good service. Plan to be on hold a lot.

    I purchased a Home Warranty from American Home Shield (AHS) for $655.00 on July 11th. On July 18th as my central air unit was not working properly, I was so happy to have my new home warranty until I attempted to use it! Here we are almost a month and 33 calls later and my unit is still repaired! The American Home Shield is completely inept, very little is covered, there are fees associated with all services and they do not have enough qualified trustworthy contractors. Therefore I requested a refund of my $655.00 purchase price, within 30 days of purchase, but was offered a prorated refund of $439.00 because I used the service. I am not sure how 33 calls and two no shows by contractors (when I had to take off work to be home) constitutes using the service!

    My recommendation would be to avoid American Home Shield at all costs, your money would be better spent tossing it out the window; at least you could see the joy on the faces of others rather than the frustration of calling repeatedly and being told you have to wait 24 – 48 hours for a return call only to receive that call 5 days later. American Home Shield is a disaster!

    I have had an American Home Shield Warranty on one of my homes since 2017. While I cannot say I was overly impressed on prior service requests, the jobs were completed without complication. Recently I had really terrible service. In July I placed a service call request for a problem in two of my bathrooms. The inability for their call center to communicate in English was beyond frustrating!!! The representative I was speaking with could not understand what I was calling about. The service request was incorrect, and was cancelled right away, but still got charged.

    I made another service call request, and none of the issues I had were deemed to be covered (a leaky faucet and a stopped up drain). I wonder if AHS will use the roughly 18% increase in their annual cost and service calls to improve their service. I SINCERELY DOUBT IT!!!! If you are considering American Home Shield for your home warranty – do yourself a big favor – go someplace else.

    American Home Shield is so good, I would hate for them to ruin their reputation, but my most recent claim was involving Sundance Plumbing and I would never use them again. I had a plumbing break on my water heater. There was corrosion and it took them four days to come out to repair it. After that, it took them 10 days to respond back to me regarding the break. They are just horrifying because water coming into your house is not okay. 50 gallons of water ended up coming out of my house. I sell American Home Shield through Farmers, so it’s a big deal to me for my clients. Sundance Plumbing was also out to one of my clients and it took them two weeks. On a different note, I have another claim and it's for my refrigerator. Appliance Wizard replaced the ice maker and the valve, but the panel is out too, so they had to order that. You just don’t get the parts overnight and I’ve been waiting a couple of weeks for that. Still, that experience was great.

    Since I found out about American Home Shield, I applied for their warranty and I've been with them for at least over 10 years now.

They referred me to JF Whitlow Jr. & Sons, gave me their phone number, and we kept in touch with them. Everything went okay and we had no problems.

    When the tech first came out, I had a drain but he didn’t have the piece to put that on there, so he had to come back and see what piece was missing. Then, he had to order the part and come back and put it on. So, that took three visits and AHS charged me three times for it. So, I have to call them. They shouldn’t have charged me thrice for it.

    There were a couple of times that the AHS contractors came out. One time, our unit stopped working. They fixed it. They said they put a motor in it. They plugged a new motor in there but it wouldn't shut off. The contractor had to come out again. They ripped my old thermostat off the wall which pissed me off, put up a new one, but the issue was still not fixed. The unit still wouldn't shut off appropriately. They had to come back out again because the unit stopped working.

    AHS's contractors were fine but I wish they would communicate better with each other. I feel like there's a history about this particular unit that I was surprised I had to fill them in on as opposed to getting dispatched. Since I was asking questions, I was able to kinda tell them what the guy before thought and tell them that the unit wasn't shutting off after they had left. They came in and they fixed it. I was thrilled. But 25 hours later, it was like this unit would not shut off again.

    I called them to tell them and I was shutting the unit off because I didn't want an electric bill that was like $1,000. I was doing it by hand. I was shutting it on and off during the day then it just stopped working again. Those guys should have known to check that before they left and told me it was all fixed. In general, I have found the contractors to be polite and quick. I gave them better information and they continued to look for the problem. The problem was solved. They said there was something wrong with the relay board and it took them days to find the part for it. The unit has been working fine. since

    There are times when AHS drags out some stuff that could have been done, but they don't wanna pay for the next thing. Two months later, I have to pay another 75 bucks and they wind up fixing the problem correctly. That was what happened with my pool pump. They had been telling me for two years that it was failing out. They kept replacing stupid parts. Finally, they replaced the pool pump this year. That could have happened like last year though so I didn't wind up paying $75 three times. It was the same with my air conditioning thing. I had to pay them multiple times. The technician guy wanted to do something different but we had to wait five days in over 105-degree weather to get a part. I went five days in such condition with animals in the house and no air conditioning.

    We purchased a new house and we had AHS come in and change all of the exterior locks. We submitted the claim and pre-paid everything online. It cost us a $75 deductible for that service then the local service company contacted us and came straight out. The company responded within 24 hours and it took about two hours to rekey the locks. So, it was awesome. The tech also provided us with extra spare keys and didn't charge us for it.

    My air went out on a Friday night and I put in the claim then. When I first called, it said to make the payment, but I wondered how they were gonna know what's wrong, so I hung up and called back. I explained to them that I made the payment through the phone and since it was still the same issue, I didn't have to pay the second payment.

    Home Shield did everything when I called in and they followed up with the email as far as letting me know that they had sent out the email to the contractor. When I didn't hear anything from him, I called him that Sunday, which was around the time they had a storm. We had a little storm here and he was gonna try to get out that Monday while we were under curfew, but he didn't make it. He came on Tuesday and repaired the AC, but my air went out again on a Saturday. Then, the contractor remembered the house, so he called me back and asked what was going on.

    I explained and he came out that Monday, but he had to order the blower fan for the AC unit. He tried to overnight it but he couldn't. The piece didn't come in until Thursday, but other than that, the contractor came out and looked at it. He did the best that he could and everything is good now. He made me feel like he was very concerned about what’s going on too. He was very professional and he kept us informed on everything that was going on daily.

    American Home Shield has always been good to us. Anytime we've had to use them, they have always come through, and they have always been really good. Service has been done pretty rapidly. As a matter of fact, we have sent several different families to them, and they have signed up with American Home Shield and are now using them.

    When our AC went dead, we filed a claim over the phone. I was kinda disappointed in a way because American Home Shield was trying to contact the contractor, and they said that there was nobody answering the phone. And it just so happens that a good friend of ours who lives here in the hometown where me and my brother live told us about a contractor that was a good friend of his, and that all we had to do is call him up and he would come out and take care of the problem. So, we called the guy up. He agreed to come out and take care of the problem. And I came to find out that he was the one that American Home Shield has been trying to contact.

    And so, I called American Home Shield and I told them, "This contractor is coming out to the house, and he happens to be on your list of contractors that you have been trying to reach," but it was after hours, it was on the weekend, and it just so happened to be a holiday weekend, and the contractor was not answering the phone. We called the contractor on his personal cellphone because he was a friend of a good friend of ours. So, American Home Shield from that point on went ahead and they sent us out the information that we needed, the work order number and everything else, and the guy came out and took care of the problem.

    The downstairs air conditioning was not working. The temperatures were climbing, yet the air conditioner was continually running. It just wasn’t cooling. I called American Home Shield and they assigned me to US Air Conditioning of Texas. Then, the vendor called me and we got an appointment set up. When I originally got in touch with them, they said somebody would call me to confirm that they would be out the next day between 8:00 and 12:00. But that did not happen because I got a call that night from the person who was coming and he told me that my service would be between 3:00 and 5:00 based on the locations on where he had to make his call that day.

    Other than that, he did a very good job. He explained everything and showed me what was going on physically on the unit when he was working on it. He also explained how it affected its performance and why it wasn’t cooling. Then he showed me when he was changing the capacitor out. After that, the AC immediately started cooling and I haven’t had any problems with it since.

    Our stovetop quit working about a month ago and we submitted a claim online to American Home Shield. Doing that was pretty easy. We ended up having RM Service Masters come out and they had to have an electrician come out as well. Both of the contractors they sent were really professional. The tech from RM Service Masters pulled out the stove and looked at it. He said the issue looked like it was electrical. He didn't do more to it and had AHS put in a claim for an electrician to come out. The electrician came and he flipped a breaker back on but the stovetop still wasn't working right. He somehow reset it and when he did, it started working again. He said that the issue could be that the breaker needed to be replaced and that he was going to put something in to have that fixed. However, I haven't heard anything since then. Still, going through AHS for my claim was a good experience.

    The AC fan wasn’t coming on and circulating. I filed a claim with American Home Shield and the guy who came out reset the system. He turned it off and took the power off from it, and when he fired it back up, it started. But now, every time that the power turns off and back on, the AC fan doesn’t automatically come back on. We’ve been here almost a year and we’ve never had this problem before. So what I’ve been doing is cutting the main breaker, turning it off for about 15 seconds and turning it back on. Then the fan comes back on. But I’ve never had to do that before and we’ve had power outages.

    My concern is that if there’s something getting ready to go out, why am I having to do this now? What if I’m gone on vacation and all of a sudden, it decides to do this and gets up to 100 degrees in here? I would also like to have had the contractor out over the weekend. It was over the weekend and they didn’t have an appointment until Tuesday. I also think that the guy had to dive into it a little deeper especially if that’s gonna continue to happen, but other than that, I was very happy with what he did. He was very professional and he was here on time. All in all, they did a good job.

    Original Review: Aug. 16, 2019

    The whole process with American Home Shield was horrible. I bought my condo out three years ago, so I paid premiums with American Home Shield for the last three years. For the first problem I ever had, the process was very confusing for me. Originally, I called American Home Shield. They told me I had a service call I had to pay, so I gave them a credit card for that. I had the gentleman come over here to take a look. The water heater was leaking. I knew there was a problem and I knew I had to get a new one, but there’s a process to how everything is done.

    The technician didn’t tell me there were gonna be extra expenses. Apparently, he spoke with American Home Shield then I get a very quick recording saying what I owed within 50 seconds. If I called American Home Shield to get clarification, the representative didn’t give me any clarification on it. I was confused. I was left thinking what was I supposed to do. I had to get the service done. They told me I had to call back the person who called me back. It took a couple of days for that company to call me back. I gave them my credit card, and they had to call American Home Shield to order the hot water heater. All this time, I was wasting time. I didn’t have hot water in my house for over two and a half weeks.

    Finally the company said, “Well, maybe they can overnight it.” So, I called American Home Shield. Apparently, they ordered it and it took several days for it to arrive. During the time it arrived, I had to wait another week for them to put it in because they had other appointments as well. So every four or five hours I was taking buckets of water out. I had to take those big tubs to carry water out and dump it outside.

    Then I get a call from American Home Shield and one of the managers was blaming me about the whole process, that I should have read everything and I should have known what was going on. I was the one making all the calls and he was blaming me, the consumer. He was talking about things that have nothing to do with my hot water heater. The communication was horrible overall. Then the guy has the nerve to say to me, “Well, now that you know the way everything works out, you know how to go about it the next time you use us." I was thinking how am I supposed to use a company who’s not gonna follow through on everything? It just was really bad. He was telling me that there was a cash out thing but no one explained anything to me. I was like a duck sitting out there with nowhere to go.

    I can never refer anyone to American Home Shield ‘cause I wouldn’t feel right doing it with the experience I had. The issue finally got taken care of and the gentleman from the company who did the work did a good job, but it took a very long time. Not only did it inconvenienced me, it also inconvenienced my son who lives with me a few days a week.

    When I had a claim for the air conditioner, I had a good interaction with the claims rep and the contractor was good.

They also said that either American Home Shield get somebody look at the compressor, or they can change the refrigerator since it's just a small refrigerator and it's not expensive. They ended up changing it. So when I called American Home Shield, they transferred me to the purchasing department. I wasn't happy with how the rep talked to me. He was telling me that the contractor who did the service did not submit a report, but I told him that I just finished talking to the contractor and they said they already submitted the report.

And that makes sense because these contractors if they’re gonna come all the way out here don’t wanna do an hour and a half drive for just one customer, but that screws things up for me. So I have asked for a particular contractor that lives in the vicinity, and they’re reliable and consistent.

    The air conditioning unit was pulsating, trying to connect to start with the motor, but it wasn’t working. We submitted a claim online with AHS then someone contacted us immediately. The contractor came out a day later then they had to get a part. But our experience turned to pot because apparently, something happened with the original company that was supposed to fix the AC and we had to wait another four days until somebody else from another company took care of it. So there was a hiccup in it, but it all got situated in the end. The tech from AC Doc Heating & Cooling was great and the AC's performance since the repair has been good.

    I called American Home Shield and spoke to somebody. The person was professional but it took quite some time to schedule somebody to come and fix the air conditioning unit, and that was an emergency because it was very hot. The contractor came but American Home Shield sent an email to me, saying that they would cover only $10 and I had to pay almost 290 out of pocket. I didn't know about that. Nevertheless, the contractors did their job well.

    There was a lot of condensation up in the attic. One of my kid’s rooms wasn’t getting as cool so we were checking the flow. We wanted to make sure that everything was bundled up and there were no leaks. We made a service request to American Home Shield for our AC. The contractor they sent was amazing. They checked everything and they went above and beyond. They did some additional services as far as certain things that help make the AC run more efficiently. They were in and out. The AC has been going well since.

    My AC unit wasn’t working properly so I filed the claim to AHS over the phone. The lady that works in the office was kinda rough when I talk to her but I like the young man that came out. He was really sweet and nice. He said the coils were blocked and it had never been flushed or cleaned. He's the one that’s been coming out here for the last year and so I asked him if he didn’t see that then. He gave me the option of either a water flush or a chemical flush and I said I wanted the one that American Home Shield would be paying for. Then I had to call him back the next day ‘cause my house was hotter and he had to add a little Freon. Overall, I had no problems with American Home Shield. I’ve been with them for a while now and I recommend them to everybody.

    American Home Shield is very good. They have been working on my claim for a couple of months trying to figure out what to do with it. And the appliance seems to run all the time. They didn't repair that, but the second technician repaired some of the inside stuff that was nasty and dirty and a couple of broken things. He had sprung the door so he had to put new hinges on the front of it. But I failed to remind him the thing runs nonstop. It's supposed to stop every once in a while. It fills up with ice so high then it starts melting, and it makes pool of water inside.

    But I was very pleased with this young man that came out. He was very professional and fixed everything right, other than we didn't talk about the thing running all the time. So, I'm gonna watch it tonight and listen for it to see if it cuts off. But at one point, one of the other technicians had said, "I see that all the time. It just needs a whole new motherboard." Well, they didn't put a motherboard in it so American Home Shield had the second technician come out but it was from a different company.

    When I needed someone to check on the heat pump, I went to American Home Shield's site and put in a submission for it. But I didn't hear from anybody so I called them back and asked if they found anyone. It was hard for them to find someone out here because we have a geothermal system. I worked with them on the phone and we found the same geothermal system that we had before. They gave verification and I had to pay for a contractor to come out because there was nobody here that will work with AHS. The contractor said that they don't have time to go on the phone and wait 30 minutes for somebody from AHS to answer so that they can get approval to fix the system. It's a waste of money.

    American Home Shield works great in a city but it doesn't work very well outside of it. We're in a small community on a peninsula with not many people. Contractors won't come out to us 'cause it's too far and they couldn't make any money doing it. We have to go outside of the system, which means we have to pay upfront, to get somebody to come out here. I'm dissatisfied. The heat pump ended up working out okay but the contractor won't do that again. We thought about renewing AHS but we decided not to because we have to pay straight upfront anyway.

    American Home Shield sent Express Appliances and they replaced the part for the icemaker. I called the 1800 number, and then American Home Shield took care of it from there. The contractor came out in a couple of days. His service was excellent. The first time he came out, he told me he needed a part. He ordered the part and told me he'd call when the part came in. When the part came in, a different contractor came out from the same place. But the first serviceman ordered the wrong part. So, the second person took the part that came and ordered the correct part. It came within two weeks, but it was a short period of time. The contractors were on time, courteous, and they left the space clean. My experience with American Home Shield has been positive.

    My AC went out completely, so we weren’t getting any air into the house. I filed a claim with American Home Shield and I found it to be very difficult. The service provider was supposed to show up one day and he didn’t come. I had to call back several times to get the appointment date solidified. And then, the day they did come, they were supposed to call me ahead of time. They did not call. I kinda feel like I got a run-around on the coverage. I feel like the AC company was up charging. I feel like they were working in cahoots together.

    Also, I didn't understand why I had to pay before they actually started the service. What if they were unable to complete the work that day? What if I’m not satisfied with the work? What if they need additional parts? So, they made me pay $1098 upfront that day before they even started the work. They told me they had to do some upgrades on the AC unit in order to bring it up to city code, which I found strange.That was one of the ways I felt like they were trying to get additional money out of me. My house was just built. It’s not that old.

    They were able to fix everything on the same day. So, everything worked out. But I just thought their procedures that they have were a little questionable. Also, somebody had come out prior, and the person that came out to fix it wasn’t even the same person that came out to do the diagnosis. So, they communicated back and forth, and told the individual what was going on with it.

    I’m thinking about cancelling the service because previously, they had it where you would pay your $85 service fee after the technician would come. Now, they have it where you have to pay it upfront. So, even though my technician won’t be coming out for a week, I have to pay my $85 service toll upfront. I believe that American Home Shield gives consumers a false sense of security. They kept telling me that they were following their procedure. They said in order to be a part of their contract, they have to follow certain guidelines.

    On August 2, 2019 American Home Shield's AC contractor had deemed our AC in a 4BR rental as 'dead', and needing replacement. On August 8, 2019 when trying to get status of the new AC installation on the phone with AHS, they said they "just now" (6 days later) decided AHS wants a second opinion. The second contractor/opinion was done the next day, on August 9, and also agreed the AC was dead, and needed replacement. Today is August 14, 2019 and after a total of over 60 hours on the phone with them, our tenants STILL HAVE NO AC, and NO status.

    (This rental unit is in the Phoenix, AZ area, and it is 100-115 degrees every day in July/August, with almost no exception. We have had this contract with AHS for over 12 years, AHS' contractors are the only service we've had. Prior to the call on Aug 2, 2019, AHS contractors had been out 5-6 times since April 2019 for the same AC unit, and each time it would be fixed for 30 min to 30 days only. So this has been going on for much longer than 2 weeks, and many co-payments.)

    If I could rate them without any stars I would - long story short, a broken A/C on my rental in AZ in June, during a heat wave, took 2 weeks to finally resolve. During that time, I spent hours on the phone with AHS, accused of lying by the representative, transfer and drop, extended hold times while they were "researching". AHS put calls into the vendor but when I called, never had any notes that the vendor called them back or updated them. Never had any notes that the vendor even came out to my rental. I called the vendor myself to escalate. There was no follow up or ownership from AHS when they are the ones contracting with these companies.

    If I chose to dispatch to another company I would have had to pay another service call. No help or follow-thru on their part at all. Finally after a week and a half and several more hours on the phone, I got a $30 credit and an allowance for a portable A/C which was nice, but it still would have cost me the difference out of my pocket and there was nothing I could find on short notice. The purpose of the home warranty is to avoid added expense out of my pocket - so buy a portable A/C because you contracted with a vendor that lies about the repair?

    Side note - vendor said coil could not be replaced, couldn't find one, had to rebuild it. They came out on a Wednesday, but didn't determine that until the following Monday. Came back that Monday, took the part and said they will be back "sometime". Meanwhile calling AHS to get them moving, stay on top of it and nothing. They could do nothing about it but call and politely ask them for a status while heat advisories are being issued throughout the state.

    Service call opened 6/1, vendor showed up 6/5, AHS didn't know that, never had any documentation from the vendor, my online portal never had any updates since 6/1. 6/12 still no updates - I called a friend that does A/C - said how long will it take to drop a new unit in... Tomorrow - 6/13, new unit installed, 6/14 the vendor finally contacts me to return the coil. I got a new unit installed in less than 24 hours and AHS couldn't even stay on top of this request it took 14 days without A/C. Also my tech called and checked for that evap coil, it was in the warehouse 30 miles away, the vendor they dispatched is either incompetent or didn't want to do the work since most vendors don't like working with home warranty companies.

    I'm expecting a full refund from this company of my annual premium as I paid that premium to be provided a service and AHS provide ZERO service, I did all the work and it cost me time and money away from my job to be on the phone making all these calls. They are refusing to provide the refund, saying it dwindles over the length of the contract (it's almost over, thank God) and then charge me a processing fee on top of it?!

    It's laughable the standard this company thinks they can hold themselves to. Just do your research, complaints are EVERYWHERE about AHS! After sharing on my social media, the amount of personal friends with negative impacts are surprising and I wish I would have known. For more information you can view my BBB complaint or anyone else's. Poor business practice, poor record keeping (never any notes in my call) and zero respect or support for their customers. There are groups out there trying to gather more complaints to shut them down, just google for like 5 minutes you'll find it all - DO NOT USE this company!

    This is the worst experience I've ever had working with a company of any kind. Their customer service sucks, the only people who answer the phones are people who do not speak English or don't speak it well and I have gotten hung up on more times than I can count. It takes them a minimum of 15 minutes just to pull up our account because of the language barrier. I am having to spell each letter of our name and address over and over again and they still get it wrong.

    They also all read off the same script so it doesn't matter what you ask they all say the same thing: "We are waiting on authorization from the authorization department" or "We are waiting for a detailed diagnosis from your technician". Even after the contractor had sent the diagnosis through email and over the phone, with me on the line with them as well, they still claimed they never got it and were waiting for it. I have requested several times to speak with a supervisor or manager and have been put on hold for over 15 minutes and then hung up on or they come back on the line and say, "There is no supervisor available."

    I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy and to be honest I believe they try and frustrate you and string you along so that you get to a point where you are willing to just pay for it yourself out of pocket because it would be better than calling and dealing with them. This is the biggest scam and I don't know how they stay in business. I will tell everyone I know so that hopefully no one else has to experience this frustrating situation.

    When I submitted a claim service with American Home Shield, it was painless. The website was easy to navigate and I just put in a couple pieces of information. But the notification was sort of confusing because I got two of them. It was weird because it said to expect the contractor to contact me within 24 business hours. It is a really strange statement because does that mean one full business day or three whole business days because business hours? But regardless, I got a call in two days, so it was fine. The contractor was a friendly guy. He seemed really knowledgeable, and he was able to chat and inform me. That was definitely what he was doing, which a lot of people don't, so he was great. Overall, I was able to get the work done, and I interacted with a quality contractor.

    We never knew about American Home Shield when we were in living in my mom’s house. It's highly expensive to replace things and American Home Shield is very helpful. It’s much cheaper to pay a premium for that than it is to replace something. I usually file my claim with American Home Shield over the phone ‘cause online never works. It doesn’t direct me to the correct information and to the correct person. For some odd reason, every time I try to look for my account, it doesn’t access my information even if I’m putting in all my information and the policy information. But when I call in, I like the fact that it’s real fast-paced. Nothing is too difficult to do. I’m glad they know what they’re working with.

    Recently, we filed a claim because water was leaking everywhere. We didn’t know it was leaking water until we got the water connected on it. I left for the afternoon so the water was probably running for like six hours and our bill came out almost $200. When we got the water connected, it threw water everywhere. It flooded our entire garage. When the plumber got there, they said that the whole thing had to get replaced.

    I was able to do submit a claim online and the contractor called the next day. So, it was pretty quick. He did a good job fixing the problem. Also, I was with him the whole time, so he did a good job explaining stuff. There aren't any more leaks since the repair. However, I have a claim today but American Home Shield denied it, so I'm very disappointed with that. It’s something that has caused a leak in our ceiling, and they said, “We’re not gonna cover it at all.” It is from my refrigeration lines. They didn't have the installation on there that they should have.

    They charge the $75, and then I totally lose it, then I had to pay the guy. Their contractors have the incentive to say it is not covered where I have to pay them. I got the message from the contractor, "And here’s my charge. I’m gonna charge you $285 to do the fix," which should’ve been covered in AHS to me. So, it is like a conflict of interest. Another problem is that American Home Shield did not call me directly. AHS should’ve called me and said specifically in the contract, “Here’s why we’re not covering it,” instead of them just saying, “We’re not covering it.” It’s really frustrating.

    When the guy from the gas company came to turn on my gas, he told me that my spark for my water tank wasn't working and probably needed to be replaced. He was kind of a douche and was mean to me. That time, I figured I'd go through my home warranty so I submitted a claim to American Home Shield. Doing that was super easy. Unlike the guy from the gas company, when AHS' plumbers came, they were super nice and were really informative. The spark wasn't broken and he got it to light right away. They also advised me as I have other things that were right in my house too. I'd recommend AHS to a friend.
