Water was coming out for days and I’m glad I had a drain so it can just go down the drain. My daughter called it in to American Home Shield and the guys from Rockland Plumbing came. Some of the guys said that the thing was leaking because it’s gotta be 18 years old. They were very nice, courteous and polite. The guy explained to me what he did and what was going on. One of the men came up to my bathroom and turned the water on and got the sign up. There was a lot of rust in my pipes that I didn't know about. He told me not to turn it on and I told him I won’t have to turn the water on at all. He told me to just wait till today to turn it in and when I did, the water came out clear because he had run all this rust out.
I had work done earlier and Matt, the guy who came in, was wonderful too. He had to unstop my sinks. I’m living in an older house so it’s the sort of house that needs a lot of tender loving care. I decided to go with American Home Shield because of watching those funny commercials on TV. It’s fantastic. There's a lady sliding down sitting in a chair and having fun as she was speaking to a neighbor. That was hilarious and I loved it.

The contractor did a great job with the AC. They had to replace the motor because it wasn't working. They had to oil the pipe that goes through the drum because it was all rushed through. They replaced a bunch of stuff and then did some maintenance on it. Everything's working fine. It’s a small unit compared to the size of the house that I have. It’s functioning, but it’s not cooling. They told me that it’s working as well as it can for the size of the house. But I'm going to discontinue American Home Shield because I didn't realize that it was just a warranty and it wasn’t a homeowners insurance. So I'm gonna switch to a homeowners insurance plan that will also cover my utilities.

The original time I had Complete Air come out, my AC had issues. It was leaking. I've always had a leak around. I don't know where it was coming from, but I've always had some type of leak so we had a towel down there. So, we had them come out. Their guy looked at it, and he said that our drainage pipe was clogged and that we needed to have it cleaned really well. I said okay, but he said that the maintenance plan wasn't covered under my insurance. That was gonna be something that was gonna cost extra. So, I called up American Home Shield to make sure and they said that certain things wasn't covered under my policy. The guy went outside. He said that it was a contact that was messed up as well with the AC. They had some ants in it. So, he had to replace that. But they said that because it was outside damage or something to do with the insects, I had to pay out-of-pocket. I had to pay $100 and some for that.
I was also told that my coils were really messed up, and that I needed to get people come in here and clean and get some basic maintenance. But American Home Shield didn't cover that, and they offered some kinda program where they could come out and do maintenance on my AC for me twice a year and make sure that basic maintenance was being taken care of. They said since I had the AC unit for so long, I might wanna do that.
Since American Home Shield has sent them to me, I figured that they were reputable. So, I got the extended insurance on both units. They scheduled my cleaning to come out and clean the coils. When they came out to clean the coils, they said that I had a hole in one of the coils. So, that's where the water was coming from. It was leaking fluid from inside the AC unit. It had nothing to do with the cleaning when they cleaned out the water lines. It was just that I had a hole in it. But they couldn't see it because it was on the backside of the coil.
When they started cleaning, that's how they found it. That was how I got to this whole point of getting the coils replaced. They called me and said that I would have to get all new Freon put into the thing. So, that's why it was like $750 that I was gonna have to pay out-of-pocket. I’ve been paying out-of-pocket for stuff for the past couple of services with this AC unit. I was hoping that this will be the last time. If I get this coil taken care of, then I could kinda get some closure because I had to use my credit card. I’m a disabled veteran and it’s real tight right now.
My parents has been with American Home Shield since they were in New York, and we've always had them. I've had them since 2014. The convenience of having American Home Shield was really knowing that I could call and have somebody that was gonna deal with that particular issue and have some expertise instead of me calling around and trying to find somebody reputable.

The service is really good. I'm a real estate agent. I sign up a lot of my clients with American Home Shield because they have a good reputation and we have had good luck. Also, after we purchased our home and the residential warranty agreement expired, we bought it again for this year. We're satisfied with it. I typically, submit requests online and it's very easy. When the man from Sears came for our appliance, he was informative. He had to order a part and then he contacted us when we received the part through the mail and scheduled the appointment to come back. Everything went very well.

The faucet wasn't delivering hot water. It appeared as if it was the dual hot water valve to the dishwasher. I tried a bunch of different things and thought I eliminated it. It takes a long time for the hot water to get through the pipes. That's why I tested it a few times with what I thought was cold, but it never got hot. However, in two seconds, JR Plumbing figured out that the hot and the cold were installed incorrectly a long time ago. So, the tech just flipped the lever towards the opposite direction, and the hot water came on. There were two gentlemen. One was in training. But they seemed to know what they were doing, fixed it quick, and they were out.
I like Home Shield's responsiveness and ability to get stuff checked out. Also, knowing that with some of these appliances sort of throws into their lifetime, that we have them covered. Buying a new house, you don't know what's hiding behind the doors. I was gonna buy the faucet and do the install myself. I'm glad I didn't. 75 bucks seemed better than the 150 to 300 bucks for a new faucet, plus all the persons swearing if I screwed it up or didn't have one washer and making multiple runs to Home Depot or Lowe's.
Our main objective is to provide exceptional service and a quick resolution to all of your home warranty needs. Your feedback regarding your recent experiences with us is greatly appreciated. We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Take Care.

The air conditioner wasn't working and it was creating those ball of ice outside. The contractors had to go down at the furnace in the basement and add a part. They were great. They would probably save money to just have replaced it because my air conditioner units are very old. But if I continue having problems and they need to send somebody else, we'd love to have them back because he was very professional.

Something was wrong with the garage door and the technician came out on a Friday. I ended up having to call them because no one had given me a call. I explained to him that the garage door wouldn't shut. It was just standing open and the weekend was coming. They ended up sending somebody over that afternoon who fixed and repaired it. Everything seemed great with American Home Shield.

R.H.A. Heating came out on behalf of American Home Shield for my AC claim. They are the best company AHS has sent me. The tech was so polite. He took precautions against the pandemic and had covers on his feet. He made sure that we were comfortable before he left and came back to follow up. Everything was immaculate. Having AHS has been very beneficial for us. I've recommended them to a lot of people. All my family members have Home Shield.

I called American Home Shield for some plumbing issues and Lindsay Company came out. They were good. The plumbing is working now and it's okay. I paid the garbage disposal from out of my pocket and it was $220. The only thing is American Home Shield is saying the garbage disposal cannot be reimbursed.

The AC was broken and the request was put in. The guy from Perry Mechanical came in. He diagnosed the problem. He said that the problem had to do with a line set leak and he told AHS about it. Then AHS came back and told me that the line set leak was not something that would be covered as part of my warranty. So they told me that I needed to go out and find my own contractor to fix it. Then I had to go find somebody who would look at the problem. This guy told me that there was no leak in there and that it was just a simple blown capacitor. He went ahead and replaced the capacitor.
I paid $100 for the first guy to come in through AHS. The guy from Perry Mechanical just went ahead and misdiagnosed the problem and closed the ticket. Then AHS didn't do anything about it because it was not covered according to what the diagnosis was by the first guy. Then I paid $230 for the next guy when it should have been all done in $100. Now, in total, I paid $330. So, that was pretty much the bottom line of what happened with that particular ticket. It did not go well at all.
Unfortunately, this happened in the middle of summer and it was extremely hot in Florida. Then we had to go through a pretty bad time. But 90% of the cases, the contractors were pretty good and smart in my 11 years of experience with Home Shield. I also never really had a reason to recall them for whatever reason it may be. Also, filing a claim is pretty easy. Their website is pretty good about it. I just go on the site and select the service request and file the claim. That's pretty straightforward.

Submitting claims to American Home Shield on the phone has been terrible. In the couple of times that I've called, I was on hold for almost 30 minutes before I was able to get a customer service person on the phone. Once I had them on the phone, it took another 20 or 30 minutes just to get my claim finalized with them. That's way too time-consuming and it needs to be streamlined. Still, submitting online has been fairly simple and AHS gets somebody notified fairly quickly.
I had issues with an air conditioner and Home Shield sent somebody out to my location. The tech said that my air conditioner was working fine. Within three days, it went kaput and we had to replace it. That was frustrating. Also, I didn't realize that the home warranty covered a portion of the replacement. I had somebody replace my unit and was out a couple of thousand dollars that would have been covered if had called the home warranty.
More recently, OBX Garage Doors came out for the garage door claim I submitted to AHS. The tech who was sent was very professional. He went over everything involving the garage door with us. It took him a little bit to find the garage door opener we needed but once he was able to locate it, he came back and installed it. Everything went fine.

Alliance Overhead Garage Doors came a little earlier than the time they specified and they were good. The guy wore a mask and he did his own thing. He sanitized and kept his distance as well. He told me the details of what was wrong, took care of things efficiently and went on his way. On the other hand, trying to book the appointment with American Home Shield online was a little hard.
I couldn't get on in the evening, but when I went on the next day in the morning, I was able to order the service quickly. I don't know if it was a Hawaii thing because of the time difference (we're so late in the day) and it's not like it's the only site that we've had issues. When it's only eight o'clock in the evening here, it's already midnight somewhere, so it depends on where the computers are or where the maintenance happens. Other than that, American Home Shield is really good. I've had this warranty for a very long time, so it's not something that I'm considering canceling anytime soon.

Our AC would only work when temperatures were low. When we started hitting 100-plus degrees, it would stop working and kept cutting out. I submitted a claim over the phone to American Home Shield and got assigned a certain company. It's been the second time that the company they assigned his come out for me. The first time, they replaced the motor of my air conditioning unit. That stopped working again so they came out again. The techs said that the unit had been charged with too much Freon so they brought out some of that for me. This has been the fourth time a tech has been out for our AC though. If it keeps cutting out, I will invoke AHS's free replacement. So far, things have been good with Home Shield. They always treat me nicely.

The last claim was about an oven. The contractor did not give any information about it but they took it and installed a new one. The problem was with American Home Shield. When I called to request service, it wasn't a huge issue. Because of the coronavirus, I understand they are having less number of employees working for them. It was a long time waiting time on the phone for somebody to answer. The problem was when I called to request service, they said that they were gonna send somebody to fix the issue. A local contractor came and he told us that the oven could not be fixed. It needed to be replaced. He said it was going to take American Home Shield four days to replace it and it wasn't the case. The days went by and nobody called or emailed. It took us a long time to receive the email.
Being without an oven for more than two weeks, it was painful because we have two kids and we have to feed them. We have to feed ourselves too. We couldn’t order food from outside because of the coronavirus. I called Home Shield so many times. I waited so long for someone to answer and when they answered, they said that they could not do anything. We needed to contact the appliance services. I told them to give me a number because what happened after they transferred me to appliances was I waited hours on the phone then it disconnected. This repeated at least 10 times. We were extremely frustrated because you call American Home Shield, people answer and they say they have nothing to do with appliances.
They gave me a number and it was a wrong number. I called again and they said, “This number was wrong. It’s not the right number for appliances. Let me give you another one.” I found the right number but the right number was not answering at all. There is no way for clients to contact them. Luckily, after some days, I found the email from American Home Shield appliances services. They were saying the procedure I needed to follow. But the procedure was like we needed to take care of everything. We needed to buy the appliance, we needed to find a company to bring the appliance, and we needed to find a way to get rid of the old one. American Home Shield was hands-off. We could not eat canned tuna every day. We needed to find a way to cook also so I went to Target and bought a little oven.
It was very disappointing because I thought that I changed my home warranty company from American Home Warranty to American Home Shield because American Home Warranty acted exactly the same way even before the coronavirus. I changed my home warranty because I wanted to get a better service. I knew the quality of American Home Shield's work because I had them when I was in St. Louis, Missouri. We moved to North Carolina and the first year when we bought the house, they gave us one year free American Home Warranty that's why I continued with American Home Warranty. But when I saw that it was becoming ridiculous, I changed it to American Home Shield.
They came and replaced the oven and it has been four or five days. There was an email saying, “When you buy it and when the agents come to install it, send us the invoice, how much you paid for this and how much the job has been done.” I submitted everything to American Home Shield but I don't know how long it's gonna take for them to get back to me to refund me. Nowadays, everybody's doing a very poor job and what they say is it's due to the coronavirus. There is coronavirus but customers don't have to wait one hour on the phone for a customer service person to answer. The other thing is, you don't transfer somebody and put the person on hold for an hour then automatically, at the end of one hour, it disconnects. They are laying people off, they have very limited number of people and they say it because of the coronavirus. It’s not because of the coronavirus, it's because they don't want to spend money on their employees so they kick them out.

Our recent claim with AHS went beautifully. Sam, the owner of Rainbow Electric, came out at least three times. One time, we hired him separately to do electrical work. He was very efficient. When he says he's gonna be here, he’s here. For our personal work, he was reasonable and he did a good job compared to some bad electrical work we have had done. So I really appreciate him.
This last time, AHS arranged another electrical company, and I'm not sure quite where they were located. But for days, nobody contacted me. I had their phone number. I contacted them and it was going nowhere so I got back in touch with American Home Shield and requested Rainbow. He’s somebody you can depend on. When it’s first set up, he calls you immediately. So when American Home Shield designates the job, you hear from him right away.
The service of AHS is very good. We're very appreciative of them. The last two problems we've had, it had been a little bit frustrating though. They've got a new answering setup in a foreign country and it was really difficult to get our point across. The people were busy trying to read everything that they were supposed to say into their presentation and I couldn't really interrupt that. Everything was absolutely perfect before that. I know that the people were trying very hard, but it was very frustrating

I had First American Home Warranty before and I could never get them on the phone although it may be a Coronavirus thing. I just got aggravated with trying to get ahold of them. Then I saw American Home Shield advertised on TV and went with it. Recently, there was a leak in the bottom of the tank where the water comes in and out with that little bolt area. It connects to the tubing for the water to drain in and out of the toilet. That was all messed up, weak and corroded, rusted. The guy from Air Pro Master came and he replaced all the bottom of it.

We kept our distance and let them do their work. They just stayed right where they were working. Then all of a sudden, it stopped working. The company came when they called and they fixed the issue.

On August 21 we suffered a complete Air conditioner breakdown, we called AHS immediately. Three days later a technician showed up and explained that our a/c pump had burned out. Since our system is older, he said finding a pump would be difficult. That day he said he called AHS with what was required. A week passed and no word from AHS, at this point the outside temps were over 100 day after day. We called AHS and could never get through, their recorded message said the wait times were over an hour. We had left several messages. After a week and a half, they called and said they found a pump, the tech would pick it up. Two days later the tech showed up, wrong pump.
The process of calling AHS resumed with zero results. Week three passed, still no air conditioner and AHS calls to tell us another pump is on its way. Tech shows up, wrong pump again. To date we have called 74 times, all documented and with times and dates. Thus far, we have only received 6 call backs. We request to speak with a manager, none have responded. Yesterday we learned that the tech that came out three times has quit, disgusted with AHS. This is the worst experience we have ever had with any company, warranty or otherwise. They collect our monthly premium no problem but offer nothing in terms of service or action. We have also learned that from the start, a new outside condenser should have been ordered, that the old unit can not be serviced. Yet, these people continue to try to take the cheapest route out.
To add insult to injury, we thought this repair would be covered and our out of pocket expense would be for our $100 deductible. Not by a long shot. We were told they don’t cover replacement Freon, permits and a host of other related charges. Using AHS OUR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE WOULD BE OVER $2400. This isn’t a warranty, these people are out to maximize profit and put their policyholders at high financial exposure. We are currently calling and submitting complaints to authorities, Dept of Insurance, Consumer Affairs, Dept of Corporations, Better Business Bureaus and our State Attorney General. STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!!

My air conditioner stopped working. They sent out a technician who stated,"you're going to have to remove the roof for me to get to the ducts."

We turn it on and off, and change the air filter regularly. These bootleg technicians come out, take your $75 service fee then report the system as "unfixable", "misuse." Also, if you have any issues good luck waiting on hold for 1 hour. They answer the phone right away when you're signing up but not when you need something fixed...Stay clear from AHS.

He had to use my tools to finish the job. At one point, he had to leave to get a tool that he forgot and came back. With Home Shield, you pay a deductible of $100 then you pay $40 a month. If I'm paying $100 deductible, the gentleman should do the job. I had to help him with the washer, like lift the washer up from the laundry room and put it in the garage so he could work on it. But the washer is fixed now. It's running really good.

I had a claim where American Home Shield sent out Lone Star Water and they replaced the faucet in the bathtub. That was fine. We also had some issues with the air conditioner as it wasn't cooling properly and was providing humid air into the house. A technician came and looked at it but didn't find anything. But later that night, the air conditioner leaked and caused damage to the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. Two days later, technicians came back out and fixed what they should have fixed the first time.
The biggest issue that we have right now is we're gonna start paying a pretty hefty bill for this water damage in our bedroom when that was probably a preventable issue. American Home Shield isn't covering the cost of that damage. Another issue we had was when we tried to request a rekey online but we weren't able to for some reason. I had to call that one in and it took about 40 minutes to speak to a representative. But for everything else, we've been able to request it online.

When we renewed our home warranty last year, we got a discount of $150 for renewing it earlier. So, we took advantage of that. But then, AHS billed us for the next three months, telling us we owed them $150. And it took four phone calls to resolve that and we finally just threatened them to put a stop to the issue. It made us hesitant to retain their service and we didn't like the cost anyway, but getting the discount was really helpful. And we haven't made up our minds if we're going to go through that again. But, we've been very happy with the service provided and we have not been disappointed with it.
Recently, we had an appliance issue where On Point Service Company came out. They were awesome and very quick to respond. They did what they said they were going to do and were very easy to work with. The installer that they sent out quickly identified the problem, said that he'd get it fixed for us, and told us when it would be done. Then, it happened on that day. He came back, finished it, and it was well done. The appliance has been working great since the service, too. Between the repair man and their office staff, it was the most professional contractor that AHS had sent out here.

Previously, we had a problem with a bathroom heater that Home Shield wasn't able to fix. And then, for the stove, I called and talked to a person. It's hard to understand Home Shield reps, but that person I understood well. It took a little while because the first set of parts that came didn't fit. The stove is an older unit. But they finally found the right part. It's working just fine now.

The faucet underneath was leaking. I tried to tighten it up myself when I first moved here and get everything fixed, and it just wouldn't tighten up. So, when the gentleman from Bill's Plumbing came out, he diagnosed it a little bit more and found out that the washers and stuff were rusted. He put in a whole new upper faucet. I didn't want the generic one because it's a custom home so I purchased the upgraded one and he came in and put it in with no problems. But when you go to take the nozzle of the faucet and turn it off, it sometimes leaks. So, you have to wiggle the handle in order to make sure that it's not leaking. Because if you just push it up, it seems to keep leaking. I'm hoping that would eventually go away.
I also had a claim with the stove. The gentleman came and looked at it. All the parts came in but we found out that it only needed one relay. All the other parts were excess. So they took that and now they're just waiting for the other part to come in again. Hopefully, it'll be in the mail in the next week or so. AHS has been great. It was no hassle. I've owned other homes and usually, you get the run around for a minute or you're playing with computer systems and things of that nature. So I was leery at first and I was gonna try to do the work myself. The previous homeowner said that AHS was fantastic and suggested I call them and get them to do it instead of trying to do it all myself. So I appreciate it.

AMP Mechanical has been very patient. They've been out a total of three four to five times. The first time they came out, there was a pin broken inside of the valve. They fixed that, added some leak stop and put in some refrigerant. Then the second time they came out, they did the leak stop again, put in a little bit more refrigerant the next couple of times. Then this last time he came out, he said that there was a wire that had broken, and he repaired that. He’s very courteous, very professional and explained everything perfectly. Right now, it's good. When I have been having problems, it worked well for the first couple of weeks, and then it kind of went back to that blowing out warmer. It's not cold air. The temperature gets hot in the house, it cycles and doesn't turn off.
I really appreciate American Home Shield in general. They're very timely. I've had been trying to get through on the phone line. There were a couple of times on different things besides the air conditioner where I was on hold for a good three hours. But they had explained they were having some computer issues.

In the past couple of months, the experience with American Home Shield has been terrible. It's been a very frustrating experience. We have a claim for the wall AC unit since the second week of July which has still not been closed. It's such an extreme hot weather in the past couple of months working from home and waiting on the claim. The contractor came out and recommended the replacement of those units. I was told at least five, six weeks ago that the order has been placed and the equipment will be delivered to the contractor in a work place which never happened.
There was not a single person working on the case. Each time I called, I got ahold of new person. They assured me that they'll monitor the case but it's like going back and forth, back and forth. I was following up with them almost every other day or every day. I've made at least 25 calls and it was taking more than an hour each time to get ahold of them. There is also something going on with their internal departments. When I call customer service, they say they need to get ahold of their HVAC department and vice versa. They are not even responding to the contractor who came out and recommended the solution. I was checking with the contractor and he said he tried many times and he has provided all the information that American Home Shield was looking for multiple times.
We are customers with American Home Shield for a few years on a few accounts and they used to be really good. In a couple of other claims, they were fine. But with this claim, I’m extremely disappointed. We were telling them, “If you don't fix this open claim, we’ll have no choice but to seek for legal opinions on what to do.” I would greatly appreciate if someone from the higher up can look at this claim and at least close this claim.

We saw water that we thought had seeped out through the rock on the house. We also thought that there was a leak in the slab and we needed that checked out. We sent a claim in to AHS and the contractor they sent out was really good. It was the owner himself that came and he was very professional. But it turned out that there wasn't anything to repair and that the problem wasn't in the slab. He did several tests and determined that it was in the faucet on that side of the house. On the day that we saw water, we had the sprinkler hose up to the sprinkler and it was leaking under the faucet. So it was really simple and there wasn't much to do. But he took care of it and we were really impressed with him. Other than that, we've had other problems but we've called and found that they weren't covered by the policy. There was a problem with the electric range and a big a exhaust fan in the attic that they said were not covered.

I had a plumbing issue where there was a problem with an apparatus. The issue was it was not draining and the tub was not draining. I kept waiting that maybe it was going to go but it did not. I lost a lot of my hair and the people that lived here had a lot of hair. I guess it was clogged. I called American Home Shield very early in the morning. They did very good. I don't go online because I am not very friendly with the computer. Also, I’d like to hear the voice of people. I don't like that emptiness between me and the other side of the web.
Air Pro Master was my given contractor. Their man was professional. He wore a mask and booties. He went in, went to the place where the problem was, did the stuff, and resolved it fast. There was no soft talk. It was very good and I am very happy with it. I was also wearing a mask because I like to protect the person that's coming to my house. I'm glad that there are people that come to your house to do work because Cox Communication does not. It's very hard when you live by yourself and you have repair to be done. Prior to this plumbing claim, a garage man came and repaired the garage. I had to pay him extra because there was one more stuff. Also before, I had a guy that came and repaired the microwave. Everything was fine.
But why is this that now, every time that somebody comes to your house to do something, you have to grade? This is for everything now and not only American Home Shield. When I buy something or when I go to the bank, the bank sends me messages asking me to grade the person that attended me. I guess they’re trying to keep the employee and they want to know if the employee is doing a good job. When American Home Shield calls a contractor to go do a job, I can understand that because I have a company for a long time. Sometimes the employee is with you and he's not doing a good job. It's very hard. When you have a business like this, the customers are the graders so they do a very good job.

Recently, we had a plumbing issue and the contractors were responsive and the leak got fixed. I have submitted claims with AHS before and had both good and bad responses. It all depends on the contractor they have sent out. They should screen all their contractors and have consumers that used the contractors provide input back, and where a person is consistently poor in their performance that they no longer use their services. There are also some vague areas in the warranty that need to be tightened up a little. For example, in an air conditioner, they will replace every part, but at some point, they do not replace the air conditioner. That needs to be spelled out pretty specifically in the warranty.

But when the home was built, there was no adequate ventilation put into those rooms to cool it down. There was only one register in each room and the rooms are so large that they needed more volume there. So, the contractor came out, checked the system and did a consult.

American Home Shield stinks. I bought a house with a hot tub and a pool. The guy that came out took a couple of trips and he fixed the pool pretty well. AHS then dispatched the same person to do a diagnosis on the hot tub. He showed up and said it needed a part. They ordered it and three weeks later, still no part. Finally, they got it then the tech showed up, opened the box, and it was defective. That part wasn't defective and I thought the tech damaged it, but that's another story. Then, he said that they had to order another one. Another two months went by and still no part.
I did what any logical-thinking lunatic would do. I got a new hot tub and I had them haul that piece of junk off. About a little over a month later, the company that American Home Shield had dispatched called and said that they got my part. Now granted, I know COVID and all this stuff is going on, so it's unusual circumstances. But I don't have any patience even during COVID. I told them that it was great that they got the part, except that I didn't know where that hot tub was. I got rid of it as it had been four months.
I'm paying American Home Shield for that warranty and they're sending me that group. I didn't hear a drop from them that entire time. They can't just leave the customer swinging in the breeze because I'm the one that paid for it. I paid 75 bucks which sounded funny because I spent a lot more than that for the new hot tub, but 75 bucks is still 75 bucks. I would not get a refund on that. When it comes to stars, granted, they were great for this one, but the other one, they were horrible.

I just recently got my Home Depot eGift Card for the replacement of my dishwasher and I still have to physically go in the store and do that because they didn't have the one that I tried to purchase. I had to call and I waited on the phone one day for like four and a half hours to try to get someone. This was several attempts. Also, I had a hole in my ceiling from when DrainGo came out to try to find out where a leak was going. I never got the guy to come and fix it. It turned out that he was from New Orleans. The service has kinda taken a hit around the pandemic. Before that, I could call somebody and get a human on the phone.
Other than that, the benefit comes in very handy, especially you never know when something is gonna go wrong. The main line coming into my home going underneath the slab was damaged and water was shooting straight up through the concrete. It was coming up through my wood floors and was going up the walls. It went up the walls almost about two feet all the way around. In the washroom, the whole cabinet had to be ripped out and rebuilt.
DrainGo fixed the leak. I had to pay out of the pocket for more because there were two lines that had to be rerouted. Also, they left the ground outside, where the hole was, kinda nappy. But maybe it was because the guy was by himself and he had a lot of work to do. He worked a total of two or three days. They should have given him two or three more people. But he got it working. I tipped him because I could see how intense the work was. Overall, I was satisfied with the job getting done because it was a bad situation.

But I have no water in my bathtub and that's the one he's out for that same day. He said that there was no cold water in there. Well, that day he came there was a water main break in town, so there was no water pressure. He told me to call him when it comes back on and it's still not fixed. I called him that night and said the water's on and heard nothing back from a week. Then I called and said that I got this thing from Home Shield saying the job is done. He said he didn't hear from me. I told him that I called and left a message. He said that he has to get a new phone.
I still do not have water in my main bathtub. I called and the lady I spoke to said the part is en route. I asked her why they couldn't call and let me know, and why they didn't just put a new piece in there. She said that she didn't think my insurance would cover that. I asked her if she was telling me that since the 18th of August until now, Home Shield doesn't cover something till I have water in my main bathroom. She told me to check it with them then she asked if I wanted to cancel and I told her no since the part is en route although that could still be another nine days and I still haven't heard from them.
I wanted to make sure that after they're done with this one, if I ever have a problem again, they're not coming to my house. The guy cost me $75 that I would not have had to pay 'cause I paid for the appliance repairman to come and turn the water on. But the plumber should've done it. I should get $75 credit from somebody. The lady was supposed to call me back from there when she finds out who's gonna give me my $75 back and I still haven't heard back from her either.

He was good. He wore a mask and was very respectful of distance and everything. The AC has been working great. We also had a rekey done through AHS and so far, it's been fine. This morning, I submitted another claim. I did it online and the navigation of the website was great.

The washing machine was making a noise like the tub inside was disconnected. Glyn's Appliance Service came to fix it and they couldn't. But this has been going on already for like four weeks for the first time they came. They said they had ordered a part for it. After that, they said that they either not make the part that they had ordered anymore. We had the washer and dryer in the same situation. I already replaced the dryer. The repair was done by Glyn's Repair. Now the washing machine was the same thing. They said they had ordered a part, and then they contacted us, and they told us that they were gonna submit a replacement or a claim to Home Shield because they don't make that part anymore. Then they called us back and they said that the insurance company had decided to go ahead and order the part. This is where we are right now.
I’m waiting. We never received an email from anybody. All we received was an email from American Home Shield saying that they had ordered the part for the washing machine. The contractor responded within a week since we contacted American Home Shield. When they responded, they were here on time. They were here at the time that they said they were gonna be. Other than the things that they indicated were beyond their control, it was just a matter of that it's been too long since we haven't had a washing machine. I really don't blame them for it.

I had two work orders. One was for a stove and one was for a dishwasher. The contractors went out about the same time. The dishwasher situation took a couple of weeks. They came out, fixed it up and did a great job. The stove issue, it's been about three weeks and I just haven't heard anything else. But the contractors came out and evaluated. It turned out to be the outlet and not the stove itself. All in all, they did a good job. The service of AHS has been good. When everything works, when the contractors work, when AHS and everything falls through correctly, it's great. I actually did try somebody else but I had to get my money back. I came right back.

My mother called me the day before I did the claim and said that she came in from work one morning and her house was warmer than normal. She said she tried to turn the air down and said it was set at 60 degrees. And whatever was outside, it was in the house. I had a few questions and with me being a truck driver, I'm on the road, so my mother was the primary one that had to talk to everybody about everything. She said the reps dealt with her perfectly. They were very respectful and helpful.
The contractor was supposed to come one day and we had real bad raining going on. So, the day they were supposed to come, we had to push it off. I reached out to them and said, "Hey, I'm looking at the weather. It's supposed to rain." The rep said, "Okay, fine. Let's push it out a day just to be on the safe side." And everything was good. They fixed the issue. They found another issue that was about to cause another problem, and they went ahead and fixed it too. The repair extremely helped because my mother keeps my son every day and little kids don't need to be running around hot.

It's been really good with American Home Shield so far. They sent out Air Controlled Environments when one of the AC compressors wasn't turning. The contractor said that they wouldn't be able to get to it for a week and a half but they were able to bump us up on the schedule. We were without our AC for two or three days. Their tech came out the same day or the next day and he wore a mask the whole time. He diagnosed the issue really quickly and determined that a capacitor had gone bad. He had the parts with him and he was able to fix it and get it back underway very quickly. He did a great job.

The air handling unit was leaking significantly out on the floor. Ace Heating and Cooling came out and did an assessment on what was happening. At first they thought it was the connection from the drain pan to the condensation pump. They replaced that one but it didn't fix the unit. Then they determined that the drain pan was the issue. So they were gonna start to look for the drain pan. About five days later, they called and told me that they weren't able to find the drain pan because the unit was so old and that they could replace the whole air handling unit. I said that sounded great and to get it done. They came out and did it within a day.
They were very professional and hard workers. They wore masks and booties when they had to come in to the house. I told them that they did not have to wear booties if they didn't want to but they did it anyway. So I appreciated that. Everything was done in a timely manner. Everything works great now.

I've been with American Home Shield for years and it's been fine. However, when the website asks you what's wrong with your appliance, it doesn't give you an opportunity to tell them what's wrong with it. It gives you options to choose from and sometimes, I notice my option isn't on there. Recently, GE Appliance came out for the oven. Every time I turned it on, it did an F3 sound.

They showed the ice that was forming and staying there around the pipes because the air was not getting through. I would recommend them to anybody.

Street Plumbing has been out twice. The most recent was for a garbage disposal issue which ended up not being an issue after all. When they got here, my husband showed them the garbage disposal that wasn't working. The guy went in, kinda cleaned it out a little bit, took out something that went in there and it was fine. I filed a claim in the morning and they came out the following afternoon. It was great.
This is our second year with American Home Shield. We used to have First American and it was horrible. American Home Shield is so much faster. I seem to get a much better response online and much better quality of people coming out to our home for services. We haven't had a lot of issues thus far, knock on wood, but everybody that we've had has been good. However, it's 100 bucks each time the contractors come out. With First American, it was less expensive. A few times, I've had to pay the $100 for them to come out and it didn't end up being broken like the garbage disposal. On top of that, I also still have to pay the yearly fee for American Home Shield. There are also all kinds of stipulations. It's still a good deal but I wish there was a slight price break in the per service fee for them to come out.

My air conditioning went off and quit and there was nothing registering on my thermostat. I was told A Johnson Heating & Cooling was gonna take a couple of days to come out and I talked to the guy and said it was really hot. I said, “Can you please get out here sooner?” and he got out that same day which I was so grateful for. First of all, it turned out that the battery was dead in the thermostat on the wall so he replaced the battery so it could read what the temperature was. I then asked him to go out and check the Freon in there (because it's an older unit) and he did. It was down a pound and he put some more in so everything was working fine when he left.
I had an issue with the air conditioner the first year as well. These are the only experiences I've had with American Home Shield, and both times, they handled everything quite well so I was happy with that. This is my second year with them.

He explained everything that he was doing. If I asked him a question, he was very polite in answering it and explaining it.
The very reason why I called was first was I didn't know if the leakage is covered under my contract. I wanted make sure it was covered. The other reason was I was not happy with the guy who came in for our AC. At first, he was very nice. When I started asking questions, he became very rude. I also had so many out-of-the pocket expenses aside from the $100 deductible. Lately we have so many problems that we've used it. With our water heater, we also had a huge out-of-the-pocket expense. I was really fighting if I need to continue with American Home Shield or not. I didn't realize that the rate is going up every year until I saw my statement.

We called American Home Shield regarding our downstairs air conditioning. Their reps were great. They told me when the contractor would be calling me to set the appointment. Air Magic came out.

They had to bring in a part and they fixed it. Air Magic did great.
We've been with American Home Shield for several years and we've been really disgruntled with their service on several other occasions regarding other claims that we've had to file where we had a problem with one of our dryers. We have two stackable washer and dryers, and there was a dryer downstairs they needed to order a part for, and it took them three months. So, my kids couldn't use their dryer. We kept calling and they were like, "Oh, we fixed it." We were like, "No, the last we heard was somebody had to order a part and they were gonna bring it." Three months later, they finally called us and we said, "You know what, the company we had originally contracted to send out to do the work, they quit. So we had to hire someone else." It was a big fiasco.
Most recently, we called them because one of those pullout drawer freezers in my fridge in my kitchen freezes up. Everything's covered in ice. And so constantly, we're having to open it, take all the food out, defrost it, clean up the water. Then the last time we called to have someone come out and service it, they said that the rubber seal around the edge of the freezer door wasn't sealing all the way, so they fixed it. We just had a guy come out yesterday, and he put down, "Snow building up in the freezer, left side not sealing all the way. Advise homeowner to defrost freezer for a week." We already did that before even calling. We are not idiots. We know how to try and troubleshoot our own freezer. It hadn't been defrosted. He came and he was just defrosted it again.
American Home Shield is fine. The people that they contract are either great or they're not great. So, it's really hit or miss. The three-month waiting period for one little part to fix the dryer was frustrating. I have a family of six. So we have an upstairs washer and dryer and downstairs washer and dryer because we're a family of six and we have tons of pets. We're doing laundry all the time. We were down, having to use one washer and dryer for three months, because they wouldn't come and fix it. We pay our fees for the year to employ American Home Shield to be our home warranty company, and it's like, "What are we paying them for if we have to go this long to wait for something to get fixed?" We were like, "Should we just hire a new company? Should we switch to a new home warranty company? They can't be all this bad."

We've had AHS for about eight years and never had a problem. However, I have a second home on my ranch that I cover, and the refrigerator went out on July 5th, and finally, two weeks ago, they decided to replace it. My son's been without a refrigerator that long and he has a minor in house. Finally, the refrigerator will be in in 10 more days. So that was really bad.
I would call AHS and be on hold for three hours and then they would just drop me. We kept a record. I was on hold for a total of 16 hours of of all the calls I made. What they did was they sent a technician from Sears repair. He didn't know what he was doing. He kept ordering parts. First, he came out and said, “Well, you just need to vacuum behind it.” We knew that wasn't right.
Then my heat pump went out. In the interim, I finally requested that we had TNT. They've always been awesome with us. I told American Home Shield, I don't want anyone else except them coming out here. This was my second request. So they switched and then we started getting things done. Then my air conditioning unit went out when it was 90 plus here and that was at least three weeks ago.
TNT Ventures did all the paperwork. His office has been wonderful. They've been following up and calling. They said, “Okay. We can repair it, but you're gonna have to pay $450 of stuff we don't cover.” After eight years, as soon as that's done, I'm switching to a different company. It's been really bad with AHS. I can't get ahold of anyone that will help me. They don't process anything. I checked with two other companies that were repair people, and they said, they've had a lot of problems with them.
Some of their reps didn't do a thing. I got the rep twice, and she kept saying, “I feel bad you're going through this and you have a minor child.” But nothing ever got done. One day I said, “Just let me talk to a supervisor.” My son used to be the manager at an appliance store. He even said when the guy came out, all those times which cost the American Shield a ton of money, “It's the compressor.” A month and a half later, when I suddenly got TNT to come out, he was there 10 minutes and said, “Yes, it’s the compressor.” So it's just not been good at all. The only reason that I haven't canceled them is because I have pending claims. I wouldn't recommend AHS to anyone.

I called them on a Friday but then I didn't hear anything about my claim until Monday. Their contractor from Hotshot Appliance came 'cause I called. Other than this issue, everything was perfect. The tech from Hotshot was every polite and helpful. He fixed my issue and he was gone. I've had AHS for years and years. If I need something repaired, they're the ones I go to because it's no hassle. I tell them what's broken and they tell me there is a part that has to be ordered. They order it and they tell me that it should come in a certain amount of time. If they get it sooner, they come sooner.

I began to notice that when I would set my thermostat, it didn't get cool. It seemed like everything was functioning properly. All the fans were going, and all the sensors seemed fine. We put in the call to Home Shield and the man from Pro Tech Mechanical showed up. Within two days he was here. And he wasn't here more than 10 minutes and the problem was solved.
We originally purchased Home Shield through the purchase of our house, and we held it for a year. But then we bought all brand new appliances, and they all had warranties. So, we took a break from Home Shield until those warranties had run their course and then reinstituted. We've had American Home Shield back now for about six months. As far as submitting claims, I'm glad they vastly improved. The first experience we had back when we first bought our house was the long wait times on the 1-800 number. Now it's click here, click there, describe the problem, boom, off their website. Then it gets sent through your Gmail and then it goes really fast. A lot of the companies that are out there are kind of a horse apiece. We went back to Home Shield because our previous experiences with them were fast and it's much better now that they can do it so much quicker.
Our main objective is to provide exceptional service and a quick resolution to all of your home warranty needs. Your feedback regarding your recent experiences with us is greatly appreciated. We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Take Care.

The tech was really quick. It seemed like it was a good job. But when I had the water running, I looked down and my whole kitchen was flooded. He changed out the garbage disposal but he forgot to connect the hoses. It was a big clean-up but my husband hooked it up. Overall, we've had really good service from AHS. They've fixed my pool pump, my dryer and my refrigerator. The only downside is the copay is a little expensive.

I submitted a claim with AHS because both toilets went out at the same time. The pump was skeeting water all over the place, so I had to turn it off by the valve. When the contractors got here, they had to replace both of them. There were no issues. It's working great now. It's been really easy submitting claims online with AHS. I tried to call on this one situation. I wasn't on hold, but it took a long time to get a representative because I thought I was being charged twice, but I wasn't. Once they assign you that contractor, they still wait a while before they charge a card. That particular week, so much was going on. So charges were constantly being charged. But it got resolved. It wasn't an extra charge. It was just that week was a busy week for the contractors. My experience with AHS has been excellent. I haven't had any issues.

I had a problem with the toilet and Madden Plumbing & Heating came right away and fixed it. They were great. I've done three claims to American Home Shield in the three years we've had it. It’s worked fine. Where we are now, when you put the claim in, it's all on the computer, so you can't talk about it or go into detail on what you need. But that it seems to work. In fact, the turnaround time is pretty quick. They'll say they've contacted somebody and then that person has to contact us. They normally do it right away.

I had an issue with the AC and I tried to get ahold of Home Shield's automated line but I was having some issues over the phone, so I used the website. I logged in on there and initiated the claim. Moore Air came out and the tech was great. He came within 24 hours but there were a few issues with the unit and he went out a second time. Both times he came out were phenomenal. My wife and I have a young baby and we wanted him to take his shoes off and he said it was not an issue. He offered to take his shoes off to walk around the house. We were happy about that. He did a great job and the AC is working great now. Also, I was unaware that if the same issue wasn't resolved, I wouldn't have to pay the $100 co-payment again. I was pretty excited about that. I thought it was $100 co-pay every single time and I was surprised. Home Shield didn't charge the second time and I really enjoyed that.

The guy came one time and fixed the problem with no issue. He explained to me the work that he was doing and that he was gonna do, and the unit's working great. We're not hot anymore. American Home Shield is good. I've used it probably 4 times and they saved me money. But customers should get a choice on what vendor they send out. I can see if there's only one contractor in the area that does that work but if there's more than one provider available, I should get a choice. I had plumbing done probably a year and a half ago and I was really unhappy with that service and they sent them out again. It got to the point where I said, "If it's not fixed this time, do not send them again."

When my AC had an issue, the tech that AHS sent out did a really good job. He was on time, courteous, and he knew exactly what he was doing. He looked at it and within two seconds, he had it diagnosed and fixed. Also, he remained outside and wore a mask. We were six feet away from each other. The AC is working great now and up to that last call, my experience with AHS has been good.
Right now, I'm not happy with them. I called them out for my cooktop and when the technician came, he looked at it and said that there were two igniters that need to be replaced. He said he'd have to go back to his office to write up the report, then I was contacted a couple of days later by AHS saying that they were not going to cover the item because there was physical damage to the stove. But I said it was not physical damage. It was normal wear and tear. But they're declining to fix it based on what the technician wrote and to me, it's unacceptable. The unit is 19 years old. It's old and needs to be replaced, but it needs to work correctly as well.
There was a chip in the porcelain on the top and I wasn't asking them to replace the porcelain top or to replace the unit, I just wanted it to work correctly. And they started citing all of their contract language stating that if the unit is damaged due to neglect, that they would not cover that. It wasn't damaged due to neglect and the damage did not damage the igniters. The damage was a simple superficial damage, which again, I wasn't asking them to fix. The unit itself is a hazard to my house. At night, I have to unplug it because the igniters will start ticking in the middle of the night. I've been woken up by that before and I'm concerned about the safety of the unit, but they don't seem to care.
They keep citing the part of the contract and they have not refunded my money for that service call. They have not made any amends. There has been no discussion and they're not even offering to split the 65 bucks I paid for the guy who came out, looked at the cooktop, then got back to his car and drove away. I've reached out to the service company that came out to the house and to this day, they have not responded back to me. So as far as AHS goes, I'm going to be canceling their contract. They've done a couple of different things in our house and every time has been fantastic. But for some reason on this one, they're digging in their heels and that's it.

We have canceled our warranty with American Home Shield. My problem with them has been and has always been the amount of time that I am on hold. Waiting to get through to American Home Shield always exceeds two hours each time I call. I've had it with that and we are done with it. They've lost a customer and I've told all my friends. We are absolutely disgusted with the amount of times that I had been on hold.
I can't tell how many hours, in one week, I spent trying to get through the many times between contacting the appliance department. It was absolutely ludicrous. Sometimes it would take three hours and one time, I finally got through after three and a quarter hours. Then the lady on the other side said, "I can't hear you. I can't hear you. You have 30 seconds before I hang up," then she hung up. Meanwhile, everybody else could hear me for the day. After that, there I was again for another two hours.
I will never use American Home Shield again. Every time I have the opportunity, I will let people know that the wait times are what caused you this contract. I hope that they do something as far as letting people have a voice somewhere to complain. All of the telephone numbers that they give you always route you to be on hold for several hours. Their Facebook page has been taken down as far as being able to make contacts. There is no email address either. The one that you get goes to nowhere. So it was such a frustrating thing.

Today, a contractor came out for a servicing. I noticed something going wrong with my furnace. The condenser is fine because it's new, but it's making a weird sound. The tech found that it is a slight issue with the relay, but it's not gone out. His statement was either it's not working the way it's supposed to or it's completely out, before we can repair anything. We know something is going wrong with it, but it has not stopped functioning the way it's supposed to so we can't repair. That's the only thing I don't like.
If you know what the issue is or have a great idea what it is, and you can repair that before it becomes an inconvenience, why would Home Shield not allow that? It doesn't make sense to me that in order to repair it, it has to be gone or not functioning the way it's supposed to function before they would allow it to be fixed. Other than that, when my dryer wouldn't start, I called Home Shield and I was told a contractor would come out within 24 to 48 hours. They were on point. BRM Services came out, and they were professional and straight to the point. The dryer has been perfect, like it never stopped working.

I called American Home Shield and the technician showed up a day and a half later and diagnosed the problem.

Everything went great and I got water again. It was the best thing ever.
The only thing I've ever had an issue with sometimes was being able to get to through to a representative with under an hour hold time. That was a big issue a couple years ago.

My most recent claim with Home Shield was for my electric furnace. However, I wasn't happy with the services that the contractor gave me. They gave me an appointment but I never had a window I was told open. We haven't moved into this house yet, and they said, "Okay. This technician will be there anywhere from 12:00 to the end of the business day, 12:00 to 5:00." But they didn’t come all the way until 5:00. So, we sat at this house all day, in a house that we haven't moved in yet. I told them that. But still, you wanna be there when somebody comes in your house. I wish they gave me a smaller window or just an exact time. All the ones that I had with Home Shield gave me an exact time.
And then, the contractor came out and didn't know their assignment. I put a request in for the furnace, and the tech went to check the AC and then got ready to leave after giving me some feedback on the AC. He said that Home Shield's warranty doesn't cover that. And then, he said he didn't know anything about the electric furnace. He went back to call, and then he figured out it was for the furnace with the add-on for the AC. So, he didn't solve any issue for me. I wasn't happy with the experience.
Home Shield gave me an estimate for $6,000 to $7,000, saying that they don't cover the AC unit. And then they put in a request for a memory board in the furnace, but I still haven't got a call back from them to see when they will be able to do that. I called them back on the AC unit because I gotta do my due diligence to at least shop around if it's gonna be $6,000 or $7,000. Before this recent one, I had a couple claims wherein things went better.

We were having issues with our air handler, and then with our AC unit. They shut down and this all happened during our wedding week. I got married two weekends ago and we were getting no support through American Home Shield, so when it comes to a rating experience, it was as negative as possible. They sent somebody who came out and lied on the report that they sent into American Home Shield. That was on the vendor that was sent out then we had a second person, and after that person came out, our unit entirely shut down.
We had another person come out a few days later as a secondary, and our entire unit was frozen, so they couldn't even come take a look at it to put in the report. At this point, we went out since we had no AC for over a week. During that hot spell, we had to go out and buy a brand-new unit. This has been my only claim and I've been severely disappointed. I renewed my policy with the understanding that we were gonna get support through this for replacing everything. I spoke to a very nice lady at Iowa and had a wonderful experience. She then sent me to over to customer service, and I immediately started talking to somebody that was a foreign person or somebody that English is not their primary language. I don't mind, but they're very hard to understand and they don't care.

I called American Home Shield out for the garage and the outside cover was removed to replace a bulb. The gentleman got the door to go up and down but it was so loud. It was rattling so bad. AHS refused to replace it because the guy could make it go up and down although it was horrible and because I didn't have the cover on it. They were saying that broke the contract, which I wasn't aware of. I could’ve easily put the cover back on. The outside cover didn’t have anything to do with the problem. So, I ended up having to replace the garage door opener myself once I returned back from working from out of state.
I also called AHS for an electrical problem. Some of the plugs didn't work and some would just fall out. The rep could’ve told me that those plugs were considered updates. The first gentleman who came out fixed some of the plugs and he said that he would be back and that he would need AHS’s information. He never called us back. Time went on and it had passed the 30-day window. I called AHS and I asked what happened to the electrical. Now, I have to pay another $75 only to be told that most of my plugs were considered an update. At this time, there is only one plug that the gentleman had fixed so, I wasted another $75.
Just recently in June, I requested a repair on a washer and a dryer. The contractor came out and it was written on two tickets. The same company came out on the same day. The technician felt that only a door needed to be replaced on the dryer, which we have to slam shut to get it to connect and work. I told the gentleman about the lights going on and off, and it took forever. I have called and called. It took from June all the way into the end of August to get the dryer/washer replaced. Now, the dryer still has an issue. I'm waiting to see if they are gonna replace the dryer or if they are fixing the panel. I got an email a week ago that the parts have been requested. There was no number to call so, I'm still waiting for the status of the dryer.
The claim has been a nightmare and it is a nightmare to get through. I have literally sat on the phone holding up to four hours. Everything is being blamed on COVID. I used to be a real estate agent. I made sure every house I close had a one-year prepaid warranty for American Home Shield because that's how much I believed in them and I've had it for the last few years myself. Due to financial problems back in ’08, my contract broke off but as soon as I was able, I had to come back again but lately, I've been very disappointed. When I do get a person, they are nice and they mean well but there were a couple of times when I requested a call back rather than sit and hold on. I did not get the call back, especially on Fridays. I've experienced that as well, dealing with the washer and dryer.
Now, not due to American Home Shield, the air conditioning is running. But I'm concerned because the unit is dripping water from up above and out through a tube that drips down over the side. I don't know if that's something that should be happening or if it is a lot because I've never noticed that much water dripping out on the side. So, I put in another request and I'm still waiting to hear if they're coming out to address the air conditioning unit again, which is within the 30 days.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused you. My name is Stacy and I've emailed you as I would like to speak to you more about your claim.

At the back of my stove, a wire was burnt. I can do my claims online with American Home Shield. I did one for this issue and The Supreme Service Group came out. They completed the job and we’re satisfied. Everything was fine.

My recent experience with AHS was outstanding. The contractor showed up on time, did what he had to do and he was gone. He made sure everything was running and it was good to go. The capacitor had gone out on it so, he just replaced it. I like the service of AHS. It’s awesome.

The service guy from Delta Heating and Cooling came here to replace the capacitors. They’re running very well. He was very professional, very nice, courteous, prompt, and quick. I have three units in my house. He ended up replacing all three of those capacitors. Putting in the claim to American Home Shield was fairly easy. I did it online. AHS is a pretty reliable and good service. I recommend them to my friends. A friend of mine recommended me to use them.

We've had to call in once and it was fine. They said they would call or get ahold of us within 24 hours but I didn't get a call back from the electric company to schedule one within 24 hours. I had to call and schedule the appointment but that's more on the electric company's issue. The lady said she was really busy and would call me back in about 10 minutes. She called back within a couple minutes and we scheduled it from there. The gentleman that came out and worked on everything was great and consistent. He told me what the problem was and fixed it. He represented the company well.

I was downstairs in my living room, sitting there watching TV one night and I heard the air conditioner kick off. I went upstairs to bed about 10 o'clock and it was pretty warm up there. I went back downstairs, checked the unit, and it was froze over in the furnace blowing off right where the condenser is. I submitted the claim and the guy, Eric, came out and did the work on it. The freon was low in there then he had to replace the capacitor. Eric was super awesome. Now that I've used American Home Shield, it was super easy. I called, filed the claim, and the contractor came out. It was cheaper than having to pay them on my own.

I've had American Home Shield twice. The first time was from 2001 to 2004 and recently, probably 2019. I like that they cover a lot. Recently, Sunbelt Electric came in very quickly and fixed the electric breaker that tripped. The technician was professional and friendly.

I had a light switch in the bedroom that was not coming on and then the light in the bathroom as well as on the kitchen were flickering. I made a request by phone and the people that came out to work on it were okay even though they didn't put the switch in the bedroom back the way it was. They fixed the light in there, but they said they didn't know if putting a dimmer on was approved. My bedroom light had a dimmer and the button for the fan, and they took that off and put on a regular one, which you just flick it up and down. Overall, when I had a problem, I called and American Home Shield sent someone out to fix it. However, I would not recommend this to a friend because I have a contract that I have never seen.
I never received the contract from American Home Shield and I called every month for almost six months and asked them to send it. It had gotten to a point where I thought they were discriminating against handicapped people because they said I could go online and get it. I told them that I could not go online. I wanted them to mail my contract and I explained my situation to them about me not being able to do stuff online because of the print. I'm blind in one eye, so it's difficult for me to read. I even talked to a couple of supervisors.
I called a couple of weeks ago and they told me they didn't see why the contract couldn't be sent out and I would receive it in 10 days. It's now going into 20 days and I'm still waiting. They also renewed my contract for a second year and I would like to know what I'm paying for. I have American Home Shield on direct pay from my bank and I have a problem with people being able to take my money and not send me a contract. Judge Judy said you still would get a contract.

American Home Shield sent Pierson Mechanical out for an AC issue. There was a part and they fixed that. But then, I'm still having the other issue. I could sit in my recliner in my family room, and right above me, I can tell the minute the air conditioner kicks on because the lights dim and then I get this buzzing sound. It happens in the garage too.
The electrician was a very nice man, and he tried to find it but he's an older age and he didn't wanna climb up in the attic. My son did, and there's a wall there. So if we find the problem is there, then we're gonna have to cut a hole there. But he said they were gonna send Archer Electrical, and I haven't heard from anybody. They can’t find out where the problem is coming from. He did a great job at looking at it. He checked my fuse box,and it’s in good shape. Doing a claim with American Home Shield is very easy. But I hate that $100 every time you call. That’s a pretty high fee, but in case your air conditioner goes out, it’s gonna be worth it.

Submitting a claim with American Home Shield was super easy. I was able to go online and put in a request for it. Then within a couple of minutes, I got confirmation that somebody was gonna be coming out. Then somebody from the Rekey called me to set up an appointment. I submitted two other claims as well. So far, the experiences have all been positive. AHS has been quick and efficient. They also send out good contractors and they get the problem fixed.

We just moved in and we wanted to rekey all the doors and make one key for every door. The technician from Realty Rekey was very good and efficient. He explained what he could and couldn't do based on the brand of the locks that we had. He was able to do all the locks except for one because it was a different door handle brand. I also had the plumbing done. The plumber came out and fixed the faucet. He was able to detect the leak underneath the sink and get that squared away. It was awesome. They both did a great job and they were COVID-aware. Totally professional.

When I turned the dishwasher on, the garbage disposal went at the same time. I called American Home Shield and I sat on hold for a couple hours because I needed stuff done. I was able to get through and the reps were thorough. AHS has always been good about getting contractors out within the next few days. The gentleman who came out from Specialty Services got the job done quickly and he was professional. I had a total gut job of my kitchen because there’s some water damage that my homeowners' insurance just jacked me on. So, everything had to be done over. It was top-of-the-line service.
I’ve been with AHS for about six years and they’re awesome. I’d tell everybody about my experience with American Home Shield. So, I never would have anything negative to say about them. Some of the contractors that came out were a little different and they wanna piecemeal things together. But American Home Shield is great. My daughter has somebody else and it's cheaper, but I can't switch.

There was a bad coil on the AC and the contractor had to order it to put in there and replace it. It took almost two weeks and I wasn't satisfied with the timeframe of how long it took to get the parts. But once they got it, they were phenomenal. When they came, they wore masks and they were covered. They always asked if it was okay to come in. We were not around and the way that the house was designed, they had to go upstairs and downstairs. So, we gave them free range. As of today, the AC is perfect.
I’ve been with American Home Shield for well over a year and we have them at a rental property as well. We’ve never had issues there and this was my first time ever having to use it. I was a little disappointed initially with AHS because when I placed the claim, I tried to make a follow-up a couple of times, and I got hung up on. I don't know if it was purposely or accidentally but whenever I left the request, they didn't call me back. Nobody went above and beyond to figure out why it was taking so long so I ended up talking to the company myself. If someone asked me for companies that did home warranties, I would let them know who AHS is but I wouldn't recommend them.
