    I had a leaking water line. I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield because it takes too long to get somebody on the phone. The process was very easy and the contractors came out in three days. The contractor was very professional. He knew what he was doing, and just answered all the questions that I had when he was here. He took care of everything when he was here.

    My garage door spring broke. And I had forgotten that American Home Shield covered that. So, I called another company. Unfortunately, I ended up paying $324 with that company to fix the spring. But the reason the spring was broken was because the garage door opener, the length track was off and could not be fixed, so it needed a new whole garage door opener system. So, I double checked with American Home Shield. They cover it, so I got Precision Door out to fix that part. And it was really nice because the guy upgraded my system to a better one, and he gave me an extra free remote. He went out of his way to help me and lubed my doors and everything else. So, I’ve had an excellent experience with them.

    American Home Shield replaced my whole heating system, my cooling system, and my refrigerator. They fixed my old refrigerator several times. They fixed my garage disposal and my washer. So, they’ve done a lot. And the claim is very easy. You can just go online and do it and they’ll send you an email as to who they’ve assigned it to. And generally, I’ll just call up with the company they assigned it to and see if they have it, and make an appointment.

    The hardest thing I've had with them was my furnace because that was out in the worst part of winter. And so, I had to keep heaters going all over my house. And they ordered the wrong one, so then, that delayed it even more. Also, I couldn't go to work for a week because I had to stay home waiting because I couldn’t leave my heaters unattended by myself, and I couldn’t let it get that cold and freeze the pipes. So, that was the worst experience I had with them, and it was just a delay. But for the most part, it’s always been very good.

    I also sometimes end up doing more follow-up with them. Sometimes, you have to just really do the squeaky wheel thing because their follow-up is a little bit slow. Plus, whoever they contract with, sometimes it takes them a while to get out to see you. But they replaced all of my major systems. So, they're worth it by far, and I will keep them. And I’ve known other people with other home service warranties, and they got screwed by them. So, I will always stay with AHS and keep paying the monthly fee because they're good. It gives me peace of mind. I would recommend their service.

    Magic Appliance came out to service our dryer. It wasn’t turning on. I called American Home Shield to file the claim for it, and I had a fantastic interaction with their reps. They told me who the contractor would be and sent me an email with his name, address, and phone number. I contacted the contractor because we had a load of wash that needed to be done and I wanted to get it going. It took them couple of hours to come out. Our interaction was fine, but the person that came out is not a direct employee of Magic Appliance. The person that came out is a contract employee who does the repair work for the insurance firm.

    The dryer worked okay for a day, and then stopped working again in which, then, I had to call Magic Appliance again. They sent the same person out again who said that a part was gonna have to be ordered, and it would take a few days to get the part in. After a couple of days, I called Magic Appliance and they said the part was in. And they had the same tech come back out and install the part, and it’s been working fine ever since. The person who came out to do the repairs was on the phone continuously with somebody else, and they were Skyping on how to repair the machine. That kinda bothered me, but then again, the job got done. So, I didn’t really complain about it. The person who did the repairs is also fairly new to the United States and speaks English okay. You can communicate with him.

    I did a claim and the people who fix ACs came. They cleaned the unit up and did what they needed to do. But then, later on that night, the leaks on the AC vent came back. I called American Home Shield and they scheduled it again. The contractor told me they were gonna come at a certain time but they didn’t come. I called them and they said they had changed the time but they still didn’t come. They would hardly even answer. They were very inconvenient.

    Finally, they came but when they were fixing the unit, I asked them why it was still leaking and they said they didn't know. That was ridiculous because this is what they do and they should know. But after the second time that they came, the leakage did stop. I guess it just needed a second cleaning or they didn’t do it right the first time they came by. But the American Home Shield side is great and I've recommended them. Filing claims online was also easier than over the phone. But American Home Shield should choose who they use for services, especially like the last one I had, Coastal Pool Repair. The pool guy was amazing and the experience was easy.

    My air-conditioning wasn’t working. It wasn’t blowing cold air. The contractors that AHS sent came out the next day. They tried to repair it, but then they needed to come back for something else. The whole thing took five days by the time they finished getting it fixed right. The contractors were great. They kept in touch the whole time.

    Doing everything online with American Home Shield is very, very helpful. Submitting the claim online is easier than getting ahold of them by phone. I get a really quick response when I do it online, and I know who’s coming right away when I put the claim through. When there was a leak in our toilet, AHS sent out Galloway Plumbing. The plumber was great and they fixed the problem. We've had Galloway come out to the house before when we’ve had problems, and they’ve always been the ones that we would want to come out. They were very good. Also, the people at AHS were professional and courteous. They went above and beyond.

    I called American Home Shield and spoke to a person when our AC quit working. I was told that someone would call me but nobody ever called me. I guess the first contractor that they had scheduled called them back, told them they couldn't do it and canceled the service. But nobody called me to let me know. I ended up calling American Home Shield two days later and finding out that it was canceled. I asked the lady how come nobody called me and asked me if I had canceled it. I was told, "Oh well, we’re looking at it and the contractor canceled it." I was like, "So what are we gonna do?" That was when they ended up getting Molina's Air Conditioning & Heating out there.

    That contractor actually came out the day I called again, after I threw the fit, and they were very good. They looked at the unit and said that a new unit was gonna have to be installed on the inside and that they would have to get everything approved through American Home Shield. That took another four days despite knowing that our AC doesn't work and by that time, I was already frustrated so I scrounged up the money and bought a whole new AC, inside and out. Even after that, I haven't heard anything from American Home Shield. I'm dissatisfied.

    It has been getting hot here in Texas and it was 95 degrees outside. The upstairs was almost 90 degrees and I noticed that my air conditioning was never shutting off. I could always hear it running and it was because it was trying to compensate for the heat from the upstairs. So, we decided to file a claim to American Home Shield. Everything was online. I logged in to my account, filled out a couple of questionnaires and then, I made my $75 payment. Two days later, I had a call from the air conditioning people to schedule and the contractor came out within four days. He was super nice and didn’t mess around. He listened to what I had to say. He went straight outside and within 15 minutes, he knew exactly what it was. He went back to the truck, repaired it and everything came right on. Since then, the house has been perfect. For homeowners, AHS is something everyone should have. I’ve used them twice and it's worth it.

    I had drains that were clogged and two sinks wouldn't drain, one in the master bathroom and one in the bathroom upstairs. The claim went very smoothly with the claims adjuster. She told me that they would contact me and set up an appointment to come. Then it was the same day that the contractor contacted me. The guy who came out initially was very professional and did a great job. He was able to clear the drains on the sinks. But when he went outside of the house to try to clean out the main drain, he found that the pipe was broken and there was mud. So he went around to the front of the house and tried to get into the cleanout in the front of the house. But his equipment wasn’t sufficient to get far enough in there to find where the damage was.

    We had a toilet that wouldn’t flush that morning, along with the sinks that were clogged before they were cleaned out. When they called out a master plumber to bring video equipment out, they found that the main sewage pipe drain is broken in a couple different places. It has three roots in it and that is a big problem. Now, they're telling me that it’s gonna be a $40,000 repair job. I need to go through my insurance company to get that paid for but when I called my insurance company, they said that there’s no coverage unless there’s residual damage to the rest of the house from the pipe, and there’s not that I'm aware of.

    Also, because the sink drains were cleared, they had me sign paperwork saying that the sinks were cleared. So I don’t have any open claim with American Home Shield at the moment. My concern is that I don’t have any open paperwork saying anything about the drain pipes being clogged or broken. But the experience with Home Shield was excellent.

    I've been with AHS for four years now and I was extremely happy with them. I even told everybody I know to get their warranty and that they're a good company. I told them that with AHS, you make monthly payments but if something goes out, at least you don’t have to come up with a large amount of money. But after my last claim, I’m not sure if I’m gonna continue with them after my service is up.

    My oven was out and I called in a claim. A guy came to check it within a few days then he called me back the next day and told me that the part needed for the repair was no longer made. He also said that I was gonna need a new oven. From there, I was not happy. The main thing was, I would call AHS then I’d get somebody in the Philippines and nine times out of 10, they’re very hard to understand because they’re Filipinos. The ones I talked to do not speak good English and I had to keep asking what they were saying because I didn't understand. Then, I’ve always been told that you can ask to be transferred to the United States on any call that is outside of the United States and the gentleman that I talked to through purchasing said that they're supposed to do that. But every time I asked to be connected with somebody in the United States they'd tell me that they couldn't do that.

    I also felt like AHS lied to me when I first got the warranty. They said that if they can’t fix it, they’ll replace it and they’ll take care of me right away. But they knew within two days of the guy coming to my house that he reported that the part was no longer available, and they just kept screwing around. I felt that they wanted me to go away and not replace it. It was so upsetting.

    Other than that, I will never use the company that delivered my new oven. When the guy called, he said he was from Home Depot. Then, two gentlemen came for the delivery and they didn’t get here until 5 o’clock or a little after. They were in a rush job and I didn’t know what they were doing. They were out there digging through tote after tote, then they come back in the house and hooked the oven up. They turned on the burners with the stove all at the same time, said it was okay, then left. But that night, my husband checked it out and decided to make me a pancake. And the oven didn't light.

    So, I had to call back and they sent somebody out here. And they said that it was an issue with the gas company. So then I called the gas company to come the next day, and when they did, they said that the delivery people never put a gas regulator on it. Obviously, that’s what they were digging for in their tote and they couldn’t find one so they just rigged it. I asked the guy from the gas company how come it came on when they were here and he told me to watch as he turned one burner on. Then, he turned the oven on and it would come on because then it would regulate. But if you turn the burner on and you turn it up high, it whistled. So I had to call back American Home Shield then they sent somebody out here to put the regulator on. It was just one ordeal after another and I was without a stove or an oven for about a month.

    AHS has been wonderful. Whenever we submit a claim their contractor comes after a couple of days. I was very impressed. And that's not easy to do. They had to order the part and they came back three days after. We had two claims. We had the air conditioner. And then the same weekend, I called a plumber. He came, ran his little Roto-Rooter down the drain. But he couldn't get it and left. He said it was probably the P-trap and I could try some Drano, but he couldn't get it.

    I asked him, "That's your take on it?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Well, you're just about worthless, and you can leave." And so, he apologized and did. I have never heard of the stuff. And I'm assuming it's gonna cost me $75 for him to come out here and to have done that. I went down to the Home Depot and got their latest and greatest and it didn't work. I'm gonna have to tear the sheetrock out to get to my pipe now, and I'll fix it myself, but I thought I'd give the home warranty a shot. But wow, you're talking about a shock. I would have never believed a professional would have acted that way.

    American Home Shield sent out Kintex Plumbing for my most recent claim. The contractor said 2:00 to 4:00 and he came properly on time. He worked at the house for an hour or so and he was able to rectify the issue. He also explained that the valve in the shower was busted and that he had to replace it. There were also some issues with the garbage disposal and he fixed that. He is an excellent and very professional person. He has good knowledge and all the tools. If he hadn't come in, I was sure to have some discomfort because I only have one bathroom running and the other one had these issues. So it was important for me to get that done.

    It's very easy to submit a claim online with American Home Shield. It's much quicker and that process has been very helpful. When the upstairs AC unit was not cooling to the set temperature, Perry Mechanical called me within half hour of me submitting the online claim. I was fortunate enough for them to send somebody out the following day and they were able to take care of it that day. The technician was professional and courteous. He knew what he was doing. However, it's very hard to get an actual person from American Home Shield on the phone. It'd be nicer if it wasn't so painful to try and get in touch with a person. The wait times are really long.

I also had another issue with the door not closing well. I filed an online claim to American Home Shield and it was a very simple process.

    I had an electrical problem with the refrigerator. The handle on the front of the door of the ice maker that releases and lets the ice drop down was not working. I went online and filed a claim with AHS which seemed easier than calling in because I could do it on my own convenient time. But I had not heard from the tech that they assigned to my claim in about two or three days, so I called him since AHS gave me the name and the phone number of the person that would be handling the claim online. Then the tech set an appointment up the next day and he came out. He determined that it was a solenoid or electrical part then he went back and it was ordered. He called me a week later when it came in and made an appointment again. Then he came out and installed it. Now everything works great and that repair only cost me my normal $75 fee.

    I had two claims right there back-to-back. The other one was for a ceiling fan out on the patio and the electrical guy that AHS assigned to the claim contacted me the same day. He also came out the same day. I've had American Home Shield now for about eight years and they have also replaced air conditioners for me. They have put in new heating units up in the attic as well.

    The air conditioning stopped working one evening but it ended up just being a capacitor issue. American Home Shield sent Service Mechanical of Tidewater out and they fixed it on the spot. So, there were no issues and it was very quick. In submitting claims to AHS, you just answer a couple of quick questions and it wasn't hard at all. I prefer to do it online. I’ve been with them for a year and a half and the contractors are usually good and handle things quickly. However, this particular contractor was very busy and swamped with the summer heat. If it's possible, AHS should use a lot of different contractors instead of just one.

He said that two wires were touching on the outside of the box so he moved them and the garage door started working. Later that same day, it quit working again. AHS sent the repairman back and he said that he had to order one of the chips inside. Despite the issues, the tech was awesome.

    I had a claim sent to American Home Shield for my water heater. I had some rusting that I realized was developing on one of the pipes leading into the water heater. I submitted the claim online and I was able to get a contractor out really fast. Street Plumbing & Rooter came out and their guy seemed great. He was helpful, explained the issue, and then within a day after that, was able to come back and fixed it after getting the right part.

    We had a refrigerator problem and a plumbing problem at the same time. The plumbing contractor was great. The person from the office side was really good because she kept updating us. I reached out to American Home Shield and I was waiting for their authorization. It's stressful when this happens. The refrigerator problem was an existing problem so I had to call American Home Shield. There was a long wait time on the phone. I called a few times because I wasn't hearing back.

    When our water heater was leaking, I contacted American Home Shield, and they determined the company. Then, the company called us to schedule. They came out and then they had to get approval from American Home Shield. It seemed like there was a lot of back and forth that was happening. It took a little bit longer than we would have liked because the company had to hear back from American Home Shield. Then, they got the authorization to purchase the water heater. But then they found out that the water heater didn't fit in the area that it needs to go, so they had to go back to American Home Shield for a different approval of something else. The frustrating part was calling American Home Shield. I was on hold for at least 30 to 45 minutes just for them to answer. But the last time I called, it was pretty fast.

    My air conditioner wasn't cooling the house and I didn't know what was going on with it, so I put in a claim with AHS. It took a little while to get scheduled because it was over Memorial Day weekend. But the tech who came out was awesome. I also had a claim for my washer and the tech came out to work on that last week. Then recently, I thought the light bulb was blown in my kitchen. But I put a new light bulb in and it didn't come on. So, I went on YouTube and they were saying it was probably the ballast, which was an electrical stuff that had to be changed out.

    So, I put in my claim with AHS online and within 24 hours, I got the tech scheduled to come out. In fact, their reps are coming out today. It's so funny. Every time a tech comes out, it's always like it's nothing. He'd say that he'd fixed it, that it was just this part, and he had it on his truck. My experience with AHS has been great and I don't ever see myself getting rid of the warranty. I live by myself, so it's nice to be able to call or put in an order and know it's gonna get done. They also always send out really good people.

    Submitting the claim for my dryer was easy. I applied online and the person who came was very professional. He ordered parts and then he realized that that was not working. But that was replaced and it was fine. The dryer is good so far. The person who came was good and very professional too. But I had issues with the garage door opener two years ago and last year, and both times, American Home Shield sent the same person but that person is very non-professional. He spent 60 seconds, said he couldn't fix the issue and demanded his money. Two years ago, he demanded his money right away. The last time, American Home Shield changed the system so I had to pay upfront. The service person recommended us to call another place and when that place came, they charged us 400 bucks. So that person is not good at all. Although in the past, not all the experiences were good, this most recent one was a good experience.

    ShieldPlus coverage was purchased. However there is nothing there: Shield and specially plus. Got total of 6 AC units in the house. 2 don't turn at all and 4 others don't work properly. Call AHS on Monday and was scheduled an appointment. Company which was assigned indicated that they cannot support 6 units and order was canceled. Call second time was assigned another company, who was questioning why is the house have 6 AC units. Order was reassigned since company could not support. Call another time, third company indicated only can come 7 days from the day I called. Called again, assigned another company, who first confirmed the appointment then changed it to another day, since original technician does not know my house and another does (I thought technician should know the trade not the house). Multiple attempts to reach the AC company got nowhere, times was getting changed and changed.

    Now experience with AHS: each time spoke to customer service individual was told different rules of the contract. However, when I pointed each time to the details of it, it just happens that I am correct (apparently). Service reps would try to get you run around and when you get escalation team they would promise the world with indication about making a notes into the claim. However, when claim is canceled or reassigned, notes are gone.

    AHS - when warranty was purchased, I did not find any content that said, I should deal with not reliable companies, services would not be completed or even started after 5 days, that I should call each day, spend 2-3 hours on the phone and still get nowhere (get a full time job calling AHS for services). When payment was taken - it was fast, services and support are nowhere to be found. While writing this review, I am being on the phone with AHS exactly 1 hr and 39 min. No solution or resolution for the 3 time just today.

    For 3 months they couldn’t do repair of Bathroom faucet satisfactory. Twice they tried to repair the Faucet and they failed. When they accepted to change the Faucet, they got another type of faucet that does not match the other faucet on the same bathroom cabinet!!! After several phoning the supervisor accepted that I will pay for the second faucet and they will install it. On the day they were supposed to do this they sent a fighter not plumber. Refused to do the installation unless I pay him directly $100.00 for that. The agreement already I had with the home Warranty was denied. You have to understand that this is only quality they produce.

    I am warning all those who are dealing with customer service: They are helpless with poor communication skills, there is no Manager or supervisor to talk to, they do not agree to send any written conclusions and lastly they bill you for service several times especially if they fail to do the repair and it takes three weeks to cancel wrong billing. When you cancel their rotten service, they charge you cancellation fees which can tell you the big mistake you did in having contract with them but it was wise to pull out of this miserable place. Last cheeck they are asking for cancellation fees because all their interest to grab your money and never ask themselves how to improve their low quality service.

    My realtor purchased a one year plan for me when I bought my house last year. Worst experiences ever! Bought the house in March, so when it got hot my ac was not blowing cold air and almost no air was coming out of the vents. In addition water was pouring out of the unit and running down my roof and molding my fascia. I placed a service call with American Home Shield and next day the ac company sets my appointment for 3 days later. It's not that hot, in the low 90's high 80's so I'm OK with that. The guy that comes out is not in uniform so I'm a little leery. He's a big guy so maybe new and not in uniform yet. I'm a property manager so I get it. He inspects the unit then tells me it's low on freon and needs to be added. AHS service fee is $77 which is paid at time of service call to them and does not cover first $100 of freon. So he charges me $100.

    Knowing the answer, I ask him if freon is low then is there a freon leak? He tells me no it's normal to lose freon over time. I work with huge AC companies like Trane and New England so I know this is not true. Freon is a pollutant and is a closed loop system in all ac units. If you are losing freon there is definitely a leak somewhere. So I have the unit charged and pay the $100 but argue with the guy that I know this is not true and there has to be a leak. The unit is blowing cooler air now so I figure I will call AHS and deal with the leak issue. He says he fixed the water leak problem by clearing the drain line. Next day, water still leaking on my roof even more now. I call for another service call and tell the girl that takes the call about the freon issue. She tells me too that it's normal to lose freon in a system.

    We have a heated argument and they are not going to do anything about it as this is their standard response. She sends the same guy back out for the water leakage issue. Adds shims to the unit to level it but no charge for this call. So like a week later unit still leaking on my roof and now it's making this horrible screeching noise. Next day here comes the same guy with another tech that looks like he's in grade school, no uniforms. Replaces the blower motor, no charge and off they go. Unit still leaking on my roof and now really no air flow except from one vent in the house. I call again, day later same two guys come out and by now I know it's useless but let them see what the problem is. They say everything is OK but they cleaned the coils and off they go. Unit's still not blowing out any air flow but by now I give up because I know they are going to send the same two guys and nothing will be fixed.

    Unit is blowing cool air out of one vent so I'll have my son look at it. He gets on the roof and tells me the unit duct is not even connected to the house main duct! When they shimmed it up they pulled the duct that connects the unit to the house ducting apart! In addition they shimmed it crooked so yah, water is going to leak out of the pan onto the roof. Long story short my son fixes this as best he can so I get enough cool air into the house to survive. I kind of figured the unit was older when I purchased the house so I figure I will replace it next hot season. Here it is next hot season and I replaced the unit last week. Contractor who took it off the roof tells me the fan was installed backward and was blowing warm air into the unit instead of out, the heat exchanger is bad and the unit should have been condemned a year ago.

    On another note, AHS also sent out an appliance repair guy on my oven last year and about the same result. Guy gets my oven heating but the door is falling off after he leaves. I give up and will replace that too soon. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON AHS. They have no intention of replacing your equipment unless it's unsafe and even then apparently they won't replace it. They are in business to make money not to spend it on proper repairs and replacements and the contractors they use in major cities are bottom of the barrel, inexperienced and cheap.

    We have had AHS warranty on our home for 5 years at $58 per month. Over $3000 in subscription fees paid over that time plus service call fees and costs for uncovered items. Every winter and summer, our HVAC goes out of service. I did not expect this warranty to replace the 35 yr old system in the first few years. Today, June 26, we are going on 10 days without AC for a total of 15 days since end of May. Having had their service providers make repairs to this equipment over 5 years, I hold AHS responsible for the poor condition of the equipment.

    AHS customer service department acts with no urgency for our situation. I feel this is a greedy company that does not empower or give discretion to its employees to provide customer satisfaction. I have requested they cancel our account, cash us out for a new system and pay for the AC floor unit and fans I bought. I don't expect to get that. They want to give us $275 instead.

    My dishwasher was acting up. It wasn’t cleaning and doing anything. I went online to request service from AHS and the contractor came not very long. I've had him come out at a different house that we were renting before. So, it was kind of funny. I was like, “Oh, I know you.” He’s very professional and he knows what he’s doing. Basically, what was wrong was my dishwasher was fine, it’s just clogged and dirty so we need to start cleaning it better.

    Apparently there’s a better method to do, and he told me the method and what to do and how to do it. He waited and showed me how to do it so I liked that. It seems to be working better at the moment. So, that’s good because I really didn’t wanna have to get a new dishwasher. I've ran the “clean” now three times since then and it’s already a lot better. And if I run it even more, it’s gonna be much better. I've had AHS for a year now. It expired because it was only for the year, and then I re-opted for the discounted price for another year.

    The sink wasn't draining properly. It was backing up from the sink to the washing machine. I called it in to American Home Shield, and then they gave me the plumber's phone number. They told me that if I didn’t hear from the plumber in a certain amount of time, I could call them. So I ended up calling the plumber. When the plumber came out, he ran something through the pipes, and the water is draining better now. But I hear a noise, and the other day, it started doing the same thing again for a second, but I just got the plunger and did it. Other than that, it’s okay. It made everything much better. I was able to wash and do my dishes, and things ran smoother. I was satisfied with my experience.

    I will recommend American Home Shield. It’s a good service, but the only thing I don’t like is that I have to pay a monthly fee, and then I have to pay the $75 when the contractor comes out. Sometimes, they can come in and do something for two or three minutes, then you pay $75 no matter what. But in the long run, it’s worth it if it’s on something large like a air conditioning.

    H&C Electric came out and fixed the ceiling fan. I submitted that claim online to AHS. I haven’t heard from them right away, but that didn’t concern me. It took a couple of days for someone to respond. I wasn’t sure how quickly the turnaround was supposed to be. But then when the contractor came out, he was really polite and he took care of the problem. I didn’t have any issues with it.

    However, when I filed a claim for the air conditioner, the gentleman that came out felt like it was not something that I should’ve filed a claim for. He seemed like he was a little bit upset. I felt like I was wasting his time. The first thing he noticed when he walked in the house was that the house was cool. He said, “This house is cold. Doesn’t seem like your air conditioner’s having any problems.” I said, “Someone told me that my motor was about to have a problem. That’s why I’m having it checked out.”

    What happened was I had some service done on my air conditioner prior to having American Home Shield. And that person told me that we potentially should be replacing the blower in our unit. And that’s what I was calling AHS for. I thought there was an issue with our blower. He also said he had a concern with mold. I mentioned that to the guy that AHS sent, and the guy snapped back and he said he’s not a mold person. I’m like, “Whatever, sorry.” But as far as the motor goes, he said that the motor was fine. And then he went on the whole spiel that the other guy was just probably telling me this stuff because he wanted to sell me a new AC unit, which is probably true.

    We recently had a motor put in and I had no problem submitting the claim online to American Home Shield. The time before last, I called instead of doing the internet and the interaction with the reps was fine. The air conditioner died in 100-degree heat and there was a $10 part that had to be replaced. The contractor came in, checked the charge on the air conditioner and then, he asked me to turn the air conditioner on. Nothing happened, so he came in to look at the furnace, and he noticed the switch was turned off, so there was no repair needed and at least, it wasn’t anything big.

    The contractor was kind of flippant, but I could understand, when it was a waste of his time. He was in and out within 10 minutes. We had people tell us we could turn that switch off and save our gas bill. We’ve never done it because it’s hooked to the compressor of the air conditioner but I’ve taped it up so it can’t get accidentally turned off again.

It wasn’t the same day but that was not acceptable when you live in Las Vegas. It gets to be 118 degrees in temperature here, so in those cases, they need to respond within a two to four-hour window. When the ice maker started leaking, it flooded our whole kitchen. The machine itself was broken, so AHS had to replace the whole ice maker. The contractor had to leave, order the unit and then come back with it. So, it’s perfectly fine now.

    Our air conditioner's capacitor went bad. I filed a claim for it with American Home Shield online, and navigating through their website was okay. I also talked to somebody. They gave me a week for a contractor to come out. But I have COPD so I told the rep that I couldn't wait a week. She said it would be on a Saturday so I said I'd wait. And then she said she had come up the next day. So, the contractor from Sale Joe Heating and Air Conditioning came the next day. He was a young guy. He was really nice. Everything has been working excellently since the repair. I’d tell others to get American Home Shield.

    MMAB Appliances Services came for the fridge and they replaced the motor as well. I also requested for the ice maker to be fixed. I submitted the claim online to American Home Shield and I didn’t have any problems with the website. I was in and out in less than five minutes. I was able to click what I needed to do and it was done. I received an email saying that I was gonna get an answer within 24 hours. In the beginning, we had some issues in scheduling. My schedule didn’t work for them but that was the first time that I wasn't at home during their working hours.

    The actual person who came to the house was very good and I don't have any complaints about him. He was fast, very friendly and did his job. They had to come a second time because the ice maker was not working. It was the fridge that wasn't working, so I couldn't store anything for a few days until they were able to come but once they fixed the issue, I was able to cook at home and store my food.

    Our air conditioner went on the fritz and wasn't working. It happened on a Saturday evening and I called American Home Shield on Sunday but the contractor's shop was closed then. I would have thought that Home Shield would have contracted somebody that's working seven days a week. I know there's a lot of air conditioning contractors out in this area that work 24/7. We live in the Palm Springs area, so it's extremely hot here. We had one day where it was like 110, through the day and through the night, all Sunday. It was a little miserable in our house. But Anthem Mechanical came out and the unit has been excellent since it was repaired.

    We had the AC unit checked up in preparation for the warm summer. American Home Shield told me that to properly inspect the AC unit, the outside temperature had to be at least 70 degrees. So, they're very good about explaining that and coordinating the appointment. The tech was professional and very knowledgeable. He gave me some pointers even when I didn't even ask for it. He answered my questions, and he was very courteous. He used my hose and properly put it away. He even made sure there was no standing water in the hose, which I never would even do that myself. I was very satisfied with my experience.

    Overall, I would totally recommend American Home Shield to any first-time homebuyer. It is very helpful and there is less stress when things break down at the last moment. Being a first-time homebuyer, it is also important that these people who come out for service educate you. They give you pointers on how to take care of your appliance or your furnace or things to watch out for, and things to do and not to do.

United Air Temp came, and they realized that it needed a part and that we would have to wait. Unfortunately, it was Memorial weekend so we waited a week in the heat. But they came back and found that that there was a leak in the Freon, and they fixed it. Submitting claims always comes from them. If there are other things that we want that the insurance doesn’t pay for, we pay for it. But it is definitely something that they take care of. They’re very polite and they couldn’t be nicer. If a part has to be ordered, they tell you it’s gonna be x-amount of time, and it’s very accurate. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

    American Home Shield sent Total Air Care to service our request on our AC that was leaking. We noticed water was drifting underneath in the closet. It happened about twice because it was leaking. And then the guy came and he acted like it just needed Freon. He added Freon to the system and said it would stop the leak, and it didn’t. Also, AHS did not cover that Freon. We had to pay out-of-pocket for that. And then, I noticed it was still leaking a few days later.

    Another guy came and he said, “You know, for that new one. Usually, it doesn't leak that soon.” And then, he also said that maybe the vent needed to be cleaned off, and that was what he did. He just brushed it off with a brush. And he told my husband what he could do to pipe it up so everything would flow the way it should be flowing. He said we could put some paint down so it doesn't mold. He was kinda helpful in that regard. But it's still leaking and my husband is working on getting the plumbing so it will drain right.

    We're fairly new in this house, so the whole AC thing is really new to us. So, I don't know if we were getting the runaround. My husband is in the middle of trying to fix the AC still. The second person was very talkative and seemed nice. He was very knowledgeable. The first one they sent out was not. He should have been honest with us. And he should have fixed it, so it wouldn't leak. I said, “That's the whole reason why we called you and you're just telling us it's gonna continue the leak.”

No details were provided regarding what work had to be done, what parts would be replaced, and no parts info was provided. When I requested additional info (both via phone msg and via email, no response was received and none received to date!). The company is too busy to want to even provide service. I reached out to AHS for details, and they stated that they would email the details (only stated that evaporator coil needed to be changed). Guess what, no email received to date.

    When I spoke with them again today, they stated they would "look in to it". It has been 30 days without AC. It is 101F outside and 85+F indoors. No care in the world from AHS or Shonda **. I even had an independent AC guy come in. He informed me that the the evaporator coil for our unit had been discontinued, and that the use of a different coil would ruin the unit within 6 months. No surprise that Island Breeze or AHS did not want to provide details!! I have asked for a payout, and have been told that no work can be done until AHS calls back.

    My A/C stopped working Saturday. I immediately put in a service request and had to pay $100 to do so. Despite calling multiple times over the weekend, they did not even start to try to schedule my appointment until Monday. They set me up with a contractor that scheduled me for the following Friday. After reaching out again they claimed that they would have another contractor come the following day (Tuesday). No one reached out, and I had to call again to schedule an appointment for Wednesday. When I tried to call and tell them the time frame that would work they didn't answer the phone so I missed the contractor by 15 minutes. The technicians do not have phones or any way of directly contacting them. I call them again and they say I have to wait 24-48 hours to have another appointment scheduled.

    There is no reason that I am paying a lot of money every month and paid $100 5 days ago, to not have had someone come evaluate my HVAC yet. If I had not had this scam of a home warranty company I would have been better off and wouldn't be suffering through 100 degree heat. Home warranty should be giving you a peace of mind, not a headache - and that is all that AHS has been for me.

Once they got here, the two gentlemen that came out were great. It was a good experience. They fixed it right away.:

    AHS has been working good and I appreciate it. I was always skeptical about warranty services. I always thought that if something goes wrong, they would find a way to get out of it. And I was impressed that they actually didn’t give me any back and forth. They just sent somebody out, took care of it. So, that’s encouraging. I would recommend it.

    One of the AC vents was leaking in the kitchen and the contractor came out three days after my husband filed the claim to American Home Shield. The guy was great but they were supposed to come between whatever time and 5 o’clock. They didn’t come and it seemed like they entirely forgot about the appointment. We got word that they were gonna come another day. Then, I got a text message from them at 6:30 which said that they will be here later on. The guy ended up getting there at 7:45 so, that threw a little bit of a wrench into our evening plans. By the time they came, my husband has fixed the vent himself. He clogged the drain and cleared it out but even though he did it on the night we noticed the issue, we wanted somebody to take a look at it and make sure it was okay. So, the guy inspected it and checked it out, and said that we did the right thing. He gave us some tips for doing that every few months.

I told him that the pilot light doesn’t stay on, but when he wrote the report, he said that the circuits were tripping. But the circuits don’t trip on water heaters, so the information was totally wrong. I then talked to the woman at More Than Plumbing and I told her what it was.

    Gettysburg Plumbing came out quickly for our water heater thermostat that went out. It was somewhere between 24 and 48 hours. They replaced the thermostat. It was very fast. I like this contractor. The water heater thermostat is so far, so good. Fortunately, the thermostat must be a fairly common part. They had it on their truck. I wasn't even home at the time of the repair. They called me, they did their job, and they were gone within an hour.

    I usually file my claims with American Home Shield over the phone. It's easier to do it over the phone. There have been some times when I've used them on other things, and I wanna try and see if I could get a particular repair person. When you do it online, you don't really get that option. They just assign it. With some of the appliances, I've preferred Sears repair to another repair. If you do it online, you can't make that request. But if you're talking to a person, sometimes you can say, "This company came out and they fixed the washing machine, but I guess they had dirty or something, they left a stain on the carpet. But I've never had this problem with Sears. I would like to have Sears if it's an option." So, you can do that with the phone request.

    I've had American Home Shield now for over 10 years, and I think they've cut back their benefits some. With the water heater or major appliances, they used to be, "We'll replace it with a comparable unit." And now, they limit it to, "We'll pay up to $3,000." That's a big difference because a water heater can be a lot more than that. So, it doesn't pay as much as what they used to. I think it used to be a better deal. But overall, it's still a good deal. AHS is reasonably priced. It's about 69 and something a month right now. I have three air conditioning units in my house. When I tried doing it through an individual HVAC company, it was almost this expensive just to cover those units. It's AHS that covers all. And mine includes some pool coverage in that 69. So, it's a fair price for what you're getting.

However, I do wish that American Home Shield would cover the whole service call because when I did Freon, I had to pay 45 more dollars for him to put it in. That doesn’t seem right but that’s okay.

    I had an air conditioning issue and I was told by AHS after getting in touch with them online that I would be notified within 48 hours, and I was notified within 15 minutes. I had to pay for Freon. Apparently, there's a leak someplace. The contractor said he was gonna put some stop leak in it. But I don't know if he did because I didn't see him. My frustration is that I understand the warranty is to make me whole, not unjustly enriched.

    The Freons are all expensive, and insurance company only pays a minute portion of it. So I had to pay over $400 for Freon in addition to my $100 service fee. But if they didn't do anything to go up and look for the leak or address the leak or figure out where it's coming from, I kinda wasted 500 bucks. The ac only worked fine for 3 days. I was a mechanic for many, many years. I know how things work. But it's 500 bucks to have them come out again and I can't afford it. But AHS also had my ac fixed before. It was just a controller and that was not an issue. The contractor was in and out quick. It cost me 100 bucks and that was done. So I've had two instances to use AHS. One was fantastic and one was disappointing.

    American Home Shield’s contractor came to service my air conditioner because it was leaking water on the inside. Then I did another claim because my air conditioner stopped working and they did an expedited order. However, they couldn't get out to me until Saturday afternoon. When they came, they determined that the air-conditioning unit was working and it was electrical. So, I had to call back and set up another appointment to have an electrician come out. The electrician came out and everything was working. Two days later, the pan was leaking water again. So, I don’t know what was done or anything to that nature. It’s starting to be frustrating.

    The first leakage has caused damage to my flooring that I had to lift my carpet up. I had to file home insurance and that was $2,500 for the deductible. Now, it has caused more damage to my flooring. At first, it was just in my hallway downstairs with the inside unit. Now, it is all the way through my whole downstairs. I have to rip up all of my carpet and get new flooring.

    When I called American Home Shield to submit a claim, I spoke to their representative and she was fantastic. I got off the phone first and someone called me back. The lady said they were sending someone out but they didn’t have anyone who could come out until Saturday, which was in a week. My floor has been damaged because I couldn’t turn my air off since I have a five-month old grandchild in the house. I turned the air off and went from Wednesday to Saturday without any air. Then, it got worse and my grandbaby had heat rash. I had to take her to the emergency room. I understand that people are constantly saying that they understand your concern but they don’t understand because they're not in this situation.

    Home ownership is a lot and you gotta be prepared, for which I am. That’s why I have my warranty but for expedited services and emergency situations, I would hope that we can get back to where in an emergency, in 24 hours, someone needs to be out there just to see what’s going on. Also, it was aggravating that when a lady called me this Saturday to set my appointment, no one from American Home Shield called me back. I was in the middle of a conversation, she hung up on me, and never decided to call back. Nevertheless, American Home Shield is great.

So, we ended up leaving it off and going through American Home Shield to get Kingwood Air Solutions to come out. They were able to come out the next day, and put in a fix that at least got it running. The tech said that it would run for some time, and then, he said the next time that it failed, we’d probably have to replace the compressor, but this could last a good amount of time. So, we were happy with the service. Kingwood Air Solutions was great. They were really friendly and trustworthy. They were really honest and knowledgeable about what they did.

He went up in the attic to make sure that there was something not disconnected with the heating and air conditioning system.

    I had a refrigerator that was not maintaining temperature. After my wife submitted the claim, the person had made some calls and there was a delay of a few days for his response. They had contacted some other company and I got a notice that they were to come out several days later. I told them that was unacceptable ‘cause I didn’t have any back-up refrigeration. Then they found another source.

    The contractor came out and discovered that the defrosting wasn’t operative. From there, he ordered some parts to repair it. Fortunately, he was able to defrost the refrigerator. The operation of the refrigerator was able to maintain for a few days in the interim of getting the parts. I had the parts drop-shipped to my home and I gave the contractor a call. He came out a few days later, replaced the parts, and it got back up and running. When he returned, it did prove out that things were faulty because it was starting to build up again. So if I didn’t get the repair parts, the problem definitely would have re-occurred. I was very satisfied with that call.

    However, I did have a letter of complaint that went to American Home Shield. I mailed it last Saturday. It has to do with a subsequent call after this refrigerator. I had a plumbing issue with a gas line and I’ve written them a very detailed letter of how dissatisfied I was with the individual that they sent out. He came out and started to attack all the other issues of my plumbing. I had a gas leak and he started to criticize all these other issues that were gonna cost $600 or $700 to repair and not looking to resolve the gas leak the first visit. He came out ill-equipped. He didn’t have an air compressor to perform the test. So he was going to come back the second day, and he never did. He never called.

    Then I got a call from American Home Shield that it was gonna be $1,500 or $1,600 for something that was not even addressing my initial problem. American Home Shield was gonna refuse the coverage because they were saying this particular element wasn’t up to code. We didn’t even know if that element was the problem. He didn’t perform the troubleshooting. So I did not feel comfortable with this whole situation. I tried to contact American Home Shield’s authorization group, and they said that I had to be a technician in order to make contact. With this gas leak, I was without gas to the home. I had kids visiting and I have out-of-town company, and it was not good timing in that regard.

    I just didn’t feel comfortable so I called another licensed plumber. That particular licensed plumber came out with the proper equipment. We were able to detect the gas leak under the house which should have been covered. I was denied coverage for that based on the first technician’s judgment. I spent well over $1,000 of my own money to resolve my problem.

    I’ve been a customer of American Home Shield for about 12 years. I’ve always been very satisfied with pretty much everything. But I just didn’t have a warm, fuzzy feeling about this first individual that they sent out. I’m hoping that somebody takes a look at that claim because I was not at all satisfied with the way they handled, and I had no input to that. It was like up to the technician’s viewpoint, and that was it. As it turned out, the second group of people that I had come out discovered that it was nowhere near that area of his concern and what he thought was gonna the problem. It was a totally different issue. That first price of $1,500 or $1,600 didn’t even include any repairs 'cause we didn’t even know what to repair. This bill from the first party could’ve gone well over $2,000 and not going to be covered by American Home Shield.

    I had an issue with my water heater where the pilot light wouldn't stay on. I called American Home Shield and they set up an appointment with a plumber to come out and check on it. They identified the problem, but since the water heater was too old, they couldn't source the part. This means they would have to replace the water heater. That wouldn't be a problem except that because the home is older, there were some things that needed to be added to bring it up to code, and I would have to pay the extra $800. I understand that bringing things up to code is not covered in the policy and I have no problem with it. I only had a problem with one thing, earthquake straps. We have earthquake straps on the tank currently installed, but the contractor has to replace them when they put in a new tank. This is a minor part of it and only cost $60, but I wanted to find out why, if this has to happen with every new tank, they wouldn't cover this.

    I called customer support and the only thing the person on the other end of the call kept saying was, "Do you want to pay the $800 to replace the heater?" Or, "We cannot replace the heater unless you pay the $800." I asked to speak to a manager and over the course of the 35 minute call, one was not available. I also asked to speak with the authorization department and was told that they can not transfer me, nor give me their number.

    After this, without asking me, the rep told me "Since you aren't going to pay the $800 I'm going to cancel this order and you can look on your own to get this fixed." I never said I wasn't going to pay the extra. I told him specifically that I was willing to pay, I just wanted this one item explained on why it isn't covered. He then told me that it was covered by my homeowners insurance. He seemed throughout the call to have no concern over my issues and no knowledge about how any of this works. This has been a very exhausting situation and it was not made any better by the customer service I received.

    I have no complaints about how they respond to claims. We've had to file a claim twice and both times they sent someone within a couple of days and fixed the issue. But their customer service is horrid. We signed up to pay monthly but instead were charged four months at a time (a total of three payments during the first three months of the year). I called and spoke to someone who promised he had fixed our payment schedule to pay monthly and that we wouldn't owe any more until October. But after that, I got constant calls and spent a few hours on the phone trying to get them to switch us to monthly payments to no avail.

    After nearly two months, I finally gave in and paid the last payment. But the kicker was that the last bill sent indicated that we owed the full year's amount and ignores the first two payments (covering eight months out of the year) we had already made. What a bunch of imbeciles. Avoid this company. Just don't do business with them. Find someone else.

    Made a claim ticket 1/8/2019 for dryer and fridge. Never heard from anyone. Called back in to AHS, they canceled that ticket. Made a new one for 2/7/2019 with new appliance company. The new company was punctual. Diagnosed the fridge needing a new compressor. Dryer needed sensor element. Both items' parts were replaced. Dryer still didn't dry clothes, they replaced another component on the dryer still didn't fix the problem. AHS took another two months to decided what they wanted to do in regards to the dryer and finally decided to replace it.

    When discussing the replacement of the dryer they want to offer me a lower priced GE dryer white. I have a LG grey. Very frustrating as the washer matches the dryer and when talking this over with them she just kept quoting a statement over and over again. Also repeating, it is not up to them to replace color or model per their contract. The 7 page contract that we are all suppose to read online. All I am asking for is a reasonable amount so I can replace the dryer that I currently have. I pay my monthly fees and it should be fair that they offer me a replacement on the same appliance I have now. We are still going round and round with them.

    Onto the fridge it started making a loud sound with the smell of Freon. The fridge was removed from our house twice, repaired brought back. The appliance company asked us to continue to contact them if there was further problems. Which we did thru the whole course of these past 6 months. Additional 5 times the appliance company came out the last time being May 21st. The fridge started overheating to the point you could not touch the outside of it. Reaching temperatures of 170 degrees, and after contacting the appliance company again with no responses we called back in to AHS to be told we should have been calling them with every problem.

    After 2 1/2 hours on the phone Thursday June 20th repeating the story of the past 6 months they finally agreed to send out a new company. In those 2 1/2 hours they finally got a hold of the original appliance company who requested for AHS to send out a new technician. AHSagreed without no additional service fees. Well on Sat June 22nd the fridge again went out.

    We contacted AHS on June 24th only to be told that no work order was put in on Thursday - that they needed a paper report from the old company so AHS could process a new work order. I am so over the stories of AHS. Who would like to go six months without a dryer or fridge to continually get the run around. I pay my monthly fees where is the same respect in return. Living out of ice chest seems to be okay with the appliance company. Trying to summarize in to words all the frustration we have had to deal with these past six months is impossible. So much details I have left out.

    We have a washer machine that recently started to make noise so we called our home warranty company to help assist with our repair. Initially they sent out one repair guy who basically went back and reported to the home warranty that we abused our washer machine. The next day I receive a call from the home warranty company and they themselves thought that sounded very strange so they called in a second opinion with another technician. Before that technician came out I was able to find out from that company that the previous tech that came out to our home had a reputation for this type of report because he was only interested in collecting the service call fees. She went ahead and scheduled for her husband to come out which he did yesterday and he basically went back and told the home warranty company that this was not due to wear of the machine and should be given back to the manufacture to cover this item.

    My question at this time is how can you have thousands of customers all over the world and basically have a home warranty in place and not even coming in to identify the actual problem, just say "oh it sounds bad." When the corporate office called me, a gal named Holly she basically said that American Home Shield can not be liable for actually diagnosing a problem if it basically works even if it sounds bad or like it may not be running properly.

    I told her, "That is exactly what you told us last year" and come to find out because of that we almost had an electrical fire in our kitchen due to a faulty garbage disposal that we called in several times before you decided to fix the item. Even though we told the AMS on more than one occasion that we smelled smoke every time we used it. Their exact response to that was, "well our technician came to the house and when he used the item, it worked for him." So I guess it's normal to have burning wires in your kitchen appliances.

    Original Review: June 25, 2019

    I filed a claim for my pool pump that began making a loud grinding noise suddenly. The noise was not present when I purchased the warrant from AHS. The noise sounds like a loud electrical hum on the inside of my home or some type of construction occurring outside. At the pump, the noise is louder, of course, and clearly indicates that the device is in distress.

    When you file a claim with AHS, you cannot provide any details about why you are requesting the service. The claim filing process only allows you to pick a device, such as a pump, washer, etc. So there was no way for me to describe the issue. But I had to pay my deductible of $125 to file the claim. This is clearly a way to easily go out on service calls and get paid without regard to whether or not it is actually required. The first bad sign.

    When the tech arrived, he asked what was wrong with the pump, which was running. I described the issue that the the pump started making the distress noise a couple of days ago. The pump is about 16 years old. He did not deny that there was a noise that was out of the ordinary, but said that AHS would not cover the issue because the pump was still working (pumping water, not hot, etc.). My thought: And who cares if it is noisy and you can hear it in the house now, and it is annoying. It's still functionally working, right? So the tech left after about a 10 minute visit from end to end.

    I contacted AHS and explained the issue in the same way as there was no detailed report from the tech on the website, only that the claim had been completed. After about 20 minutes on the phone trying to plead my case, the AHS rep stated that, "Generally, they do not cover this." There is nothing in the contract to that effect. There is nothing even generally that I could find in the contract that would let them off the hook. It basically stated that the pool pump was covered. I also stated to the AHS rep that when I purchased the contract from them 7 months ago, the pump was NOT making this noise. It did not matter, they were just not going to cover it.

    So in closing, pretty sure that I will not be renewing this contract with them at the end of the year. There are no details on the website of my claim, or anything that happened. No detailed report from the tech. Nothing. It's just claim "pool pump" and "complete". So there is absolutely no other information to fall back on. A rubber stamp if you will. Very disappointing.

    Please be advised. Based on my experience, DO NOT USE American Home Shield. They will collect your premiums and then offer no resolution to a warranty-related problem. They wear you down with tests, return visits, another opinion, another company, another service tech, take photos, wait for authorization, until you fix the problem yourself. Specifically my claim is for an air-conditioning unit that hasn't worked since April. As with any insurance type product, the company is only as good as its response to your claim. Buyer beware.

    I called last night because we had a water leak inside and outside our A/C unit. We had AHS for 15 years in Maryland, and 3 more years here in Florida, never had a problem with them before but the customer service that is provided at this time appears to be overseas and they just read their manuals and when you ask for a supervisor, they are not available. The contractor that they provided me, can't provide me service until Thursday. We're live in Florida and the temperature this week have been in the 100's almost every day, so we need our A/C specially for our kids. I explained customer service about the urgency of the issue and their solution was not to charged me for the service I won't received from their contractor. I explained that I found a contractor that can give me service today, and they told me that they won't reimbursed me because he is not one of his contractors.

    I asked for the list of their contractor to contact them directly and verify who could give me the service (something I had done in the past with AHS), and they said they can't provided me with the list that can give me services. Really?? I went from the phone to the chat expecting someone with more knowledge and hoping be in USA, but no, again apparently overseas. So, I can't let some people without knowledge prevent me for receive the service I urge in my house, even when I pay my contract for service religiously for almost 20 years. This will be the end of my relationship with AHS for their poor customer service. It's a shame that a good company like this had change their customer services.

    Our air conditioning stopped working. AHS sent a contractor to diagnose the problem. A transformer and controller board were not working. AHS called and said the house had to be hit by lightning and they would not cover the repair. The contractor said he did "NOT" say the house was hit by lightning. I had another contractor come to the house. He said it was highly unlikely that lightning hit the house since in every case he has seen, lightning took out computers, phones, TV's, etc, as well as air conditioning units. Nothing else in our home was affected. Only the air conditioning unit was broken. AHS is a total ripoff. In addition to not paying promised repairs on the air conditioning, when I cancelled the contract, they charged me a $50 cancellation fee, which they did not tell me about when I cancelled. I am trying to get the cancellation fee back. I am submitting my complaint to the Better Business Bureau.

    The technician from K.T.M. Door Control came out and completed the work on the garage door. It was the same company that had done this a few years ago. So that claim went very well. The chain had slipped off the track so the garage door wasn’t working. But the thing was fixed within 30 minutes. Because the person that showed up knew what he was doing, never have I ever had to call back within the warranty period. That was a simple thing and there are lots of companies that know what they’re doing out there. If American Home Shield sends out somebody who knows exactly what they’re doing then the problem gets solved. The only times that I've ever had problems is when the person coming out looks at the issue and says they had never seen one of those before. And that’s very frequently what happens.

    I also don’t have a good experience when the company that’s doing the work and the person that I’m talking to in American Home Shield are at odds with each other or not communicating. I've had two or three such occasions. American Home Shield basically requires me to communicate with the service company and the service company requires me to communicate with American Home Shield, putting me in that unfortunate position. One would say they're waiting on information from the other company. So I would have to call the other company to ask whether it's really true and usually, they would say they're waiting on the other company to provide the information. It’s a he-says, she-says type of issue.

    I have one of those going on right now, which is very irritating to me and it’s been going on for six weeks now. That’s unreasonable, isn’t it? It started out as a fan in the air conditioning system not working but it has evolved into needing to replace the heater and a lot of the ductwork. And I’m astounded that the service company is putting me in this position as having to call. They will not communicate with me. They said they will but they don’t, and they’re one of the best companies that American Home Shield has on their list. Usually, I can stay on top of it and although I don’t like to do it, there’s no easier way to get to anyone else in American Home Shield and say, “I don’t think you guys really wanna have this going on.” The problem in American Home Shield too is that every time I call up, I get a different person and all they can do is read what has been entered into the system. And their system, sometimes, doesn’t get updated every time.

    I used to be with one of American Home Shield's competitors and there was the same sort of problems. They all seemed, for the most part, in the air conditioning and the heating thing. The reason for that is that the individual companies that they all have on the list cannot service all types of air conditioning and heating systems but they pretend to. When filing claims, the only ones I do online are the ones that don't require a special technique or capability of the technicians. It is a simple thing and it's much easier. The companies are all prepared to handle any problem that comes up. But if the work requires something that not every company can do then I talk to an actual employee of American Home Shield. Still, issues sometimes arise where the person answering the phone has no concept of why not every particular company can do it. Nonetheless, I do recommend American Home Shield as being the best to deal with.

    They replaced the evaporator coil and were very polite. They told me exactly what they were doing and how they did it. They were very careful with the house. They laid down a sheet so that they could walk in the house. Everything was cleaned up. And the estimated hours was right on what they anticipated. Once they got to work, I didn’t hear from them ‘til they were done. They were in and out like they said, and the AC is working.

    We had experienced a problem with our downstairs air conditioning system, and the first tech that was called out under AHS was an air conditioner technician. He said it was tripping a breaker, so he checked it out and determined that a compressor was the problem. We paid for a new compressor and then he came out and installed it. But the same thing was happening, only worse. It was not only making it chatter, but it was completely shutting it down. It wouldn't come up at all. So then, the same technician determined that it was probably an electrical issue. That was when we called back AHS and they called out a different entity. The electrical guy from Charles Bosch Electric came out to determine that the electrical was fine.

    AHS called again the air conditioning folks that had first determined the problem. They sent another technician out and he discovered that the first technician misdiagnosed it and we discovered that he is no longer employed by the company. It was actually a bad compressor out of the box. So they ordered another and we're waiting on the final resolution for the HVAC downstairs.

    We also had AHS in Nevada but we didn't have a good experience with there. But they're much better here in Florida. The claims take a little longer because of where we are. AHS says that they get their responding companies by zip code. But we're in a zip code 32024, and we have repair companies in that zip code. But AHS calls somebody from another zip code that is most of the time at least an hour travel time. The first time we have called out for a plumbing issue, AHS called a plumber who was more than an hour away in Gainesville, Florida. And he decided it wasn't worth his time or money to come this far to do the job. They ended up finding somebody here in town, which was fine. They did a fine job. So it doesn't make sense to us that they're not finding local companies who are at least within our zip code to respond to the call-outs.

    The AC clogged and the pipe clogged and all the water came out and popped up the floor. I got in touch with American Home Shield over the phone to file a claim. It was a long time waiting for somebody just to answer the phone. But once they answered the phone, they sent me somebody. However, the person they sent didn't do the job well. I called them because I didn't know where the leak was, which unit it was, or what happened. And they came for the water heater and the AC. It's in a closet. And when I called AHS, they said they had to send two different people to see which one was. I asked if I had to pay for both and they said I had to. In order to answer the insurance, I needed to know what was going on.

    So, they sent a plumber for the water heater. And then he just showed up and then he said, "Oh, yeah! It's the water heater" because he saw water in the tray, but the water was there because the tray was cut, and the water came in there. He didn't even see the water heater. He just saw the water, and he said it was the water heater and we need to replace it. I told him he had to make sure that it was the water heater because I didn't see water coming from the water heater from anywhere. I told him to check the AC but he said he doesn't do that. And he just said somebody else needed to be sent because he doesn't know anything about it. And he sent me another company who showed up right away. I told them I needed somebody to come and check the AC. But they started installing all the fans and things like that, and I thought American Home Shield sent them. It was particular company. It was somebody else.

    They installed the water heater and then the next day, American Home Shield sent somebody else to see the AC. And what happened was the pipe was clogged. He just put something to unclog it. But I had a big mess. All the laminate came up and they had to replace the full house. Also, they just finished a week ago because the insurance didn't cover everything. They just wanted to cover the spot where the damage was, but we needed to replace the whole thing because that laminate cannot be only one part. It had to be everything.

    I called back to American Home Shield and told them, "You know what, I don't want to pay. You'll have to reimburse me the $75 you send me for the first company. They didn't do nothing. Nothing. He didn't even touch anything." But they said they sent them anyway. It's not fair that I had to pay for somebody that didn't do anything. He didn't know what was going on.

Basically, only thing that happened was when I used them for AC, the AC contractor came out, looked at my system, told me I needed a new system. So, I just paid the $100 just for him to tell me that. And I had a feeling that might have been what it is 'cause I was asking him about that before I actually agreed to pay the $100 fee. And then, recently here with my garage door, the same thing happened. So, I'm paying a $100 fee each time I used them. People are coming out and telling me I need to replace stuff. And the programs that I'm getting, I can get it without being a member of American Home Shield. So, it isn't actually benefitting me. I think it expires soon, and I probably wouldn't re-up.

Filing the claim with American Home Shield was real easy and because it was the weekend, Active Heating came out in about two days. The contractor knew what he was doing and was very professional. I'm well-satisfied. The air conditioner seems to be working all right now too.

    The pressure gauge in the pump broke off. I submitted the claim online and it was a very smooth process. Almost immediately, I got an email from AHS telling me who was gonna be contacting me within 24 hours. Varner Spa & Pools called within an hour or two and the guy was out the next day. I thought there may have been other issues and so he looked at everything else. He told me what he was doing. He put a new handle on the filter selector on the pump. He also put a new handle on the pump dial and replaced a filter and then replaced the gauge. He was very knowledgeable and efficient. The repair improved the pump greatly 'cause we had to run it but it was wasting a lot of water so it was a big help. I was very pleased with the service and the outcome. It was a great experience.

    I called American Home Shield for my washer that broke down and they sent a man to repair. He ordered some parts and when the parts came in, another guy came in instead of the guy who came initially. He said the washer could not be repaired and they ordered a new one. The guy who came to deliver the machine took like 5 minutes to deliver, install and take the old one away. It was amazing. American Home Shield is doing whatever should be done. I really like the service.

    When I had an issue with the ice dispenser, AHS sent out Allan Appliance Service to fix it and it was an excellent experience. But I had one experience that was bad. A toilet upstairs had a crack in it and it leaked which went down into the garage ceiling. It took about a week and a half to get it all fixed and that whole thing cost $4,000. I had to have part of the garage ceiling torn out, some drywall upstairs happened, then I had to find a new toilet and put the new toilet in there. It was a nightmare and I didn't get anything from AHS at all. The tech that AHS sent out kept having to find the parts and order them. It was an old dryer, so that was not good at all.

    But aside from that incident, all my other experiences with AHS had been excellent. Also, I almost switched companies but we've had a lot going on here with my husband in the hospital, so I didn't have time to research it properly in order to be able to do it. And I didn't wanna go without an insurance for another year. So, I went and kept it.

    American Home Shield sent out Sears for our dishwasher problems. We had a few different problems with the dishwasher and they had to keep coming. It had to do with a part. Most of the time, the technician who came was the same guy and he was very good. One time, it was somebody different. But up to now, the dishwasher is not working right. The technician said that it was just the dishwasher. American Home Shield ended up paying to have it totally replaced with a brand new washer that got put in in January. It was not working right so they replaced a bunch of parts. He thought it’s just a really cheap dishwasher and he was gonna put that in his notes. Hopefully, American Home Shield will issue a new one.

    With our dishwasher, our person didn’t show up three times. It wasn’t Sears but a different company. The third time, I called the contractor the day they didn’t show up. That had never happened before. The contractor was in a completely different state. I don’t know why they got issued to us. It was really weird. He said we weren’t in the system, but that was the number I was given. American Home Shield then sent Sears. Other than that, we’ve had good luck with American Home Shield. I really like them.

    We have been American Home Shield for years, and we have moved a lot. And this time, we’re in Florida, and we have been very disappointed. I've had a refrigerator out for probably three months, fighting with it. Even so, AHS found an excuse not to fix what is broken. Another time, I had an issue with my pool heater and they look so hard to find an excuse not to cover it. A spring broke on my garage door and they found an excuse not to cover that too. I fought through all of their excuses and for that, they covered part of the cost but it still ended up costing me $500 to get the spring installed.

    Though I have not been ecstatic about American Home Shield, our experience with our last claim was surprising. Our air conditioner was making a loud noise and the part that spins was not spinning in one of the outside units. I called the issue in to AHS and their reps were good about giving me a time when to expect their contractor. They got me in a rush 'cause I have an older mother. Ace Heating & Cooling came out and their tech was great. He told us what he was doing. All was great and Ace was probably one of the better contractors we’ve had called out. Since the repair, our AC has been working and cooling.

    The contractor came out two different times for the AC. The first time he came out, he said that it had Freon, so I guess he couldn’t do any work. That was the first time I had to pay that $100. The second time he came out, I called them back. I didn’t have to pay another $100, and he saw that it wasn’t working. The house was hot so he ended up putting some type of seal to stop the leak. He said the coils were bad. He added two kinds of Freon. It’s cooling now, but eventually, one day, I’m gonna have to get it fixed because I don’t think that’s just gonna fix the problem. I’ve been reading reviews and stuff. I don’t know if it’s gonna last or not but just me talking to other people, they were saying it probably won’t.

    Way back in about May 27th, we had a problem with the air conditioner freezing up. The guy came out and put out the Freon. It was working for about two weeks or so and after that, it froze up. I called American Home Shield. They said they would send out the technician and he came out relatively quick to look at it. He said there was a valve that was freezing up that needed to be replaced and he’d have to order it. I didn’t hear from him until I called up which was a week and a half later and I asked him what was going on. He said that the air conditioner is very old. The part was on backorder. They couldn’t find it and they kept on looking for it. I waited again for another two weeks then I called and they were still looking for the part.

    I called last Friday and they still couldn't find the part. The guy said that he would call American Home Shield and tell them what the situation is. He said that I would probably gonna need a whole new system but he doesn’t have time to do any of that. He was very abrupt and rude. It was just like no communication whatsoever. We were waiting for a phone call from American Home Shield and got nothing. Then we talked to American Home Shield and laid it all out. American Home Shield said that they can call someone else but I have to pay for it. I told them that was ridiculous so we talked to a supervisor. The supervisor said she would take charge of it. She said that they would call and let us know what’s happening. I got an email yesterday that said we're gonna be hearing from a new person.

    Now, we’ve had this person install for us before. I called this morning because we’re going into a five-day, 90-degree heat wave and the guy said that he just got the claim off of the computer and haven’t had time to look at it. He said that he would look at it later and give us a call in the afternoon. He even said he’s very booked up. I haven’t heard anything yet and so I’m sitting here in the exact same situation I was on May 27th with absolutely no resolution to my air conditioner problem. I’m very frustrated. I’m very hot. I can’t even get prepared for work because I’m sweating like a pig getting ready for work and sleep is getting difficult. My partner had surgery, he’s stuck in the house and so he’s gotta deal with fans and the heat. Now I’m waiting for this guy to call me, not necessarily holding my breath though.

But today, when I really need them, I’m finding out that they don’t have enough vendors to cover summertime air conditioning needs. The problem is they just don’t have enough vendors. I put in a claim yesterday. I have an air conditioner that is not functioning. And so, the service provider that AHS assigned to me, told me they couldn’t get here for seven days. And AHS hasn’t assigned me someone else that can get here sooner. If AHS doesn't have any service providers taking care of business, that’s not very good service. In fact, it’s poor service. American Home Shield needs to step up their vendor relationships so that they can handle increases in volume. If you don’t have enough vendors, what good is it?

    One of the burners in my oven was not working properly, so I filed a claim online which was fairly simple. The process is automated, so the moment you submit the request, you get an automated response. American Home Shield assigns a company to come out, and then you call the company to schedule a time that is mutually convenient. 1st Choice Appliance Repair came out fairly quickly and they were courteous. The guy said he would be there at 1 o'clock, and he was there by 12:55. Now everything is working fine.

    The only challenge I have complained about is if you use the automated process, it's very easy. However, if you have a issue with a person that came out or if they don't have a schedule that matches yours and you want to change the vendor or the technician, the amount of time it takes to connect with someone is ridiculous. There have been times where I've been on hold for half an hour to talk with someone. And then if the line gets disconnected for some reason, you have to wait another half an hour to speak to a different person. But as long as you don't have to speak with anyone, it's very good.

    American Home Shield sent out A-American Plumbing for an issue with the garbage disposals. I have two of them in the house. I have a downstairs kitchen and an upstairs kitchen. The garbage disposal upstairs was leaking profusely. If you would use it, the water would come gushing out and I have hardwood floors in my kitchen so that was a problem. I had to put a pan underneath the sink area. But there was no fixing that one. The plumber had to change the garbage disposal out and he was quick in tearing that one down and putting another one in there. He was awesome.

    There was also a pre-existing problem that I wouldn’t have known about but he was able to make that line right then and there. That was probably also a part of why it was also causing some other issues in that particular system. He went on ahead and replaced that one hose coming from it, and he did all of that in a very timely manner. I was really grateful because I have hardwood floors in the kitchen that goes throughout this floor of the house.

    Lightning striking the AC unit and causing havoc always seems to be the issue in this area. I thought that was what had happened with the garbage disposal downstairs – that maybe it took a hit and that it was probably on the same line. But the guy said it's not on the same line, that it got too clogged up and I didn’t know how to free it up in this particular instance. He was able to free it and clean it out. He also gave a set of instructions that was very helpful in preventing the issue from happening again and in making the garbage disposal work. I was very pleased with the service. The interaction with that plumber was very good and I would love to use him again at any point. He was very respectful and professional. I had also been given an expected time for him to come out and he was timely.

    I submitted a claim with American Home Shield regarding the toilet that had come unscrewed from the floor. It was very easy. I had no problems with the claims representatives. They called and set up the appointment and gave me a time. I was given a timeframe between 8:30 and 3:00, and Sirius Plumbing and Air Conditioning showed up around 10:00. The contractor was excellent. He was very nice, pleasant, and very professional. He had told me that he had screwed the the toilet back in and he found a little leak which he also fixed. Everything has been back to normal since the repair. After it got fixed, it's so much better and easier. I couldn’t use the toilets before, and after he fixed it, it was not a problem.

    Submitting a claim to American Home Shield was very easy. I just go online, fill it out, and it was done. And then they’re calling the next day to set up an appointment. We had a condensation clog in both our air conditioner units here at the house, and it took the contractor three tries to get it. The issue was a little bit difficult but they didn’t complain too much about coming out and getting the job done. They were professional, and they wore the booties in the house. They were concerned about not messing up the house. So, I felt good about them. But it would’ve been great if it could have been once and done.

    I've used American Home Shield several times and I'm happy with it so far. I recently made an AC claim wherein the coil was leaking. It was doing this last summer, and the previous company did something and said they fixed it. This summer, it started doing it again. The new tech had to come back out because they had to see what the problem was first, and then they took it all apart and realized it was the coil. The coil was still under warranty, so they called and it was a warranty through the manufacturer and they went and picked up the part. Then they got the part, came back out and fixed it. They were awesome and I liked them a lot. Everything seems to be fine now.

I called AHS and was told they guarantee the contractor would be at my home on Saturday. Again, no contractor called or showed. AHS then told me it was an expedited, emergency call and to expect a call from the contractor on Sunday. Again nothing. Finally on Monday, the contractor arrives at 5:30, looks at everything, gets on the phone with AHS and leaves, does nothing. I have requested to speak with supervisors and given the runaround.

    I rarely write reviews but I don’t want anyone else to waste $1000 per year on this warranty program. I bought a home that was 10 years old, the house came with a warranty and the first year I didn’t need to use. Year 2, renewed policy since I had appliance now 11 years old. Each time I had an issue...washer, dryer, dishwasher they would fix it but then it would break again. The companies would fix over and over and keep in mind you pay $75 each call so at that point could I have bought new for much more?

    A year later, my pool pump breaks and they come out and realize it actually needs replaced....First time ever I’ve actually had them replace an appliance. But the problem is it was never replaced. The vendor claims it was on back order and after 3-4 weeks of waiting, my pool turning green and $100’s of dollars in shock treatment to keep my pool from growing too much algae, I had to go buy my own pool pump and install it. DO NOT wasted your money on this company. After several calls to AHS and waiting on hold for a manager, I never received a call back or got online with a supervisor.

    Do Not Use American Home Shield. They have a great PR company does a good job for them only. American Home Shield contracts the poorest, least recommended contractors in each city. We can only verify our experience in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I would encourage everyone to look at the contractors that that are using. We wouls not RECOMMEND AHS x 1000. The A/C Contractor had 100s of review like like:

    I hope this review prevents others from having to deal with unnecessary terrible work. I used this company through American Home Shield. Unlucky for me, this was the company to come out to “fix” my air handler which needed to be replaced after the drain leaked into it. I’m always nervous with who warranty companies contract with and this company is exactly why...technician Renaldo came to my house. Instead of replacing the walls of the intake, he cut holes in the existing walls and patched them because he was very lazy. He then did a terrible tape job which of course fell apart in less than 6 months.

    When I called South Cooling, Yaima refused to handle the situation, refused me to file a complaint against the employee, and refused me to send her pictures of the terrible work that was done. She confirmed that South Cooling wouldn’t take any responsibility for their work and said I needed to go through my warranty company who only “guarantees” the work for 60 days. Of course she’s didn’t have an answer when I asked if their work should last more than 60 days.

    This company is horrible and they disgust me. I work too hard for my money to be wasted, I hope you feel the same! I hope this helps honest consumers who just want a quality job down at their house! This company was referred by American Home-shield to tune up a perfectly good working AC unit, after the “supposed tune up” my AC no longer works. Called them again but no answer, called American Home Shield and have to pay again to send the same company out there. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! THEY BREAK THINGS NOT FIX THEM.

    We requested to use a different contractor and AHS wouldn't do anything. We recommend you have a maintenance contract with the best A/C provider in your town and just stick with them. In the end, American Home Shield will cost you $1,000.00 just dealing with their shoddy contractors. The contractors are not vetted or looked at, just the cheapest are selected. AHS is a mid level scan. While there could be a couple benefits if your city has only contractors, if not you are pissing money away. It's illegal and deceptive business practices by AHS.

    After the hot water heater broke and the toilet overflowed, I decided to get a Home Warranty on our rental property. I was hoping to get things fixed by reputable service people. I would let the Home Warranty company do the research to find the reputable repair people. I was hoping that for $400 a year plus the service fee, I would be able to get one thing fixed every year or so. Well that didn't happen. The exhaust fan on the stove didn't work. A respectable and professional guy came out, but he didn't fix it. I discovered that the vent to the outside was stuck. I unstuck it.

    A year later, the kitchen faucet had an intermittent drip. When I fiddled with the faucet to show the repair man the intermittent drip, he said I had damaged the faucet. No repair was made. So, there is no easy way out of maintenance. As a property owner, it is best to select the repair man yourself and pay for the work. If you like paying a bill that gives you no value, then purchase an American Home Shield Home Warranty!

But the worst part was when I sold my house and no longer needed their service, they charged me a 50.00 cancellation fee. This is how they say thanks for being a long time customer, they screw you for one more $50.00 at the end. Keep in mind that you get nothing for the 50.00. You have to pay to get out even when you no longer have a house. I compare this unfair trade practice to going to Walmart and after paying for your purchase you have to pay to go out of the door.

    Updated on 06/24/2019: I called today to see why it was taking so long for the company to come fix my air conditioning and I stayed on the phone with customer service for about 2.5 hrs and they would not let me speak to an operational or district manager. Whoever is reading this review, please be aware that they only publish good reviews. As I stated in my first review, my air conditioning has not been working correctly for 3 weeks. 1st person came out and they didn't know what was going on. Second person came out (a week later), and found the problem immediately. The is that I'm still having is that it's week 3 and still don't know if they are coming to fix.

    Everyone is saying different things and I was told by company that it would be fixed by Monday. Well, it's Monday and my unit is not fixed. No one called me from companies to let me know what's going on. Everyone that I spoke to at American Home Shield were not knowledgeable on what to do from here. They could not get in touch with company as well. I also wanted my $600 back that I paid into my policy to call and pay for another company to come out. But all they offered me was $50 and a portable air conditioner that cost $100 that can't cool my 1400 square foot house. Whoever is reading this, don't use. This company is the worst at servicing and the worst at customer service.

    Original Review: I have been a loyal customer for about 3 years and have paid into my warranty about 1500. Well if you have air conditioning problems, don’t use them. They choose the worst companies to come out and fix. It’s been 3 weeks and air conditioner is still not working. The company is the worst. You have to for an authorization number to even get fix. They don’t fix when they first come out. It’s 6/23/19 and still not fix. I’m switching companies when I get this issue resolved.

    Submitting a claim for the air conditioner that was putting out hot air was convoluted. Back in the spring, I signed up to American Home Shield's $75 air conditioning tune-up. That was in early March, and they assigned some guy. After a few weeks, I contacted him and asked when was he gonna come and do the service. He said I gotta wait for it to be warm for 2 or 3 days in a row. A few weeks after that, I contacted him again and asked when was he coming. I also told him that if I didn't hear from him, I was going to contact American Home Shield and get somebody else decide. He contacted me right away and said he'd be there Wednesday.

    On Saturday before that Wednesday, the air conditioner started putting out hot air. So, I sent him an email and told him to come prepared to fix the air conditioner as it was not working at all. He didn’t respond. The guy didn’t show up on Wednesday like we was supposed to. He didn’t show up Thursday either. I didn’t call American Home Shield ‘til Friday. I told them the story. While I was on the line, the operator called this other guy. She said, “Well, he was rude.” Apparently, it's a one-man show and he put at the bottom of the pile the American Home Shield stuff. I told her to assign me somebody else, take off my $75 fee that they've already collected for the maintenance and put on a $125 service call. She did and the guy called me that afternoon and told me he could come and do it Sunday morning. I asked him if he was gonna charge me a premium for coming on weekend and he told me no. He waived that.

    He did show up as advertised. He looked at it for a little bit and said it was down like 7/10 of a pound. The leak was so small that he was not gonna go looking for it. He put the Freon in. We were outside by the unit and it was kinda noisy. As the Freon went in, it became much smoother and quieter. He also told me that if something happens in the next 60 days and it stops working, then I get a free callback. He was a very nice young man who’s trying to make a go of in the business. Right now, the AC is working fine. It's an 11-year old unit and it has never had a problem before.

    I've had the contract for around 8 years and American Home Shield has been as advertised. They were committed. They replaced my furnace this past winter. I asked some other people about it and they said they had the same experience. The guys came and replaced the furnace for a quote-free but there was $1,000 of other work to make it connect up. They did come quickly, but I didn’t really understand why there was $1,000 worth of connection work, and that the furnace that they put down there looks exactly like the furnace that they took out. All the connections are right there. It's not like they had to do anything special to climb up in the attic or climb some place and put stuff in. I thought that was a little bit high. But I had a guy from the neighborhood who everybody sing the praises of, and he came over right away and looked at my old furnace. He said the best he could do is $3,800. So, I was looking at the $3,800 versus the $1,000 and I took the $1,000.

    Then we had our dryer worked on in the fall. The guy came and fixed the control panel like he was supposed to. But at that time, I told him when when it's on high heat, it kicks off. We put some clothes in there and it didn’t do it while he was standing there. Now, it does it all the time. I'm looking at this 10-year old dryer and thinking do I wanna spend another $125. Maybe it will just crap out completely.

    I recommend American Home Shield to all my friends. The problem is that some of the vendors are not reliable. I hope they get the first guy off their list because he is not a nice person. He's not reliable, and he shouldn’t be getting any more of American Home Shield's customers ‘cause it's just very frustrating to have. Also, my brother-in-law in Ohio who got me on to American Home Shield told me they dropped him because he had put in too many claims. I didn’t think that was too cool. He's in a 25-year old house so that’s when things start having to be replaced.

    Our dryer kept showing an error message. That was a recurring problem that we had called for service for on several occasions. Initially, the techs sent by AHS

    from Tri County Appliance replaced the circuit board. However, a year after that repair, the same issue started coming up, an error message. Submitting another claim for its repair to AHS was easy. I went online with their app and told them what appliance or issue I'm seeking warranty coverage for. The next thing I knew, I got a confirmation email.

    Tri County's techs said that though they replaced one circuit board, there is one more in my dryer and sometimes, they don't communicate well with each other. They said that maybe the other board was out and that they were gonna order that part. I assume it was unavailable so they replaced the dryer. Thus far, I'm a very happy customer.

He troubleshot the dryer and he thought it fixed it, but it didn’t. He ordered a part for the refrigerator, and when he came back, he fixed it. Then, he did what needed to be done to the dryer. So, it was above and beyond and I’m very happy. I’ve never had a home warranty before and I was reluctant about getting one but it has been working out so far.

    The previous owner did not have the outside air conditioner hooked up. They had all of the valves shut off and it didn't have any coolant in it. I didn't realize that was the issue until the HVAC guy from Freedom came out and told me. I've had really good experiences with the contractors and I've been really pleased with them. I've had a contractor out for the plumbing, and he was really good, efficient and took care of everything. I had a good experience with the HVAC too.

    The only not wonderful experience I've had with American Home Shield is their customer service. It needs to be amped up a little bit. For 2 or 3 months, it was showing that I had a balance on my account, and I called repeatedly to have it removed. It probably took about 3 months for it get removed. I was also guilty of not reading the contract in its entirety so a couple of things kinda caught me by surprise. A lot of things are only covered up to a certain dollar amount as well. If you have anything significant, you may think that it's covered, but it may not be. It may only be covered up to $800 or $1,000. Maybe I should have read the contract more closely but the contract states it would replace the wax seal around the toilet. It also states they won't lift a toilet, so I'm not sure how they're supposed to replace that if they can't lift the toilet. That's kind of a squirrelly one.

    I had to call American Home Shield for the water heater that was leaking. Making a claim was easy. They sent Mega Star Plumbing of Abilene out and they were good and professional. They came out and diagnosed that the heater was leaking, and they had to call the warranty company and then it took like two days for it come in. They had to order a water tank. AHS had to approve it, and then they sent it to one of the places here. They picked it up from the supplier, and brought it to us. So, we were without hot water for a day or so, but it was no big deal. AHS is a good coverage. The contractor said that some of the home warranties don’t cover extra stuff and ours covered like the valve and stuff like that.

    Our air conditioner quit working. I did a claim with American Home Shield and for doing the online claim, it was fine. The only thing is it doesn’t ask you what the problem is. You just check “Air Conditioner.” I wasn't able to say it wasn’t working. Other than that, I got an automatic response that said, “The contractor will call you within 24 hours.” A-US Air Conditioning came out, and the service provided by the contractor was fine.

    We had a couple of issues. The toilets were continuing to run and not flush and taking care of it hasn’t been much of a problem with AHS. It’s fairly easy. Some of the contractors seemed to know what they’re doing. But most do not. They just kind of hide it for a little while. They don’t seem to be that experienced. But they have fixed our problems. I understand how they group them. So instead of having to do so many different calls for different things there should be a better way to group them a little better than that.

    American Home Shield sent out a plumber, and this plumber touched one of the sinks that was in perfectly great condition and replaced the disposal unit when it was supposed to be the disposal unit from the vegetable sink. So, they took out a perfect condition disposal unit and replaced it with a brand new one. They never fixed the original issue. And then I had to pay another service fee for these people to come out and fix the right one. So, I’m not happy with them. But other than that, everything has been great with American Home Shield.

    My refrigerator's door wasn’t closing and my icemaker was not making ice. I went online and applied for a claim with AHS. Their website was user-friendly and I was told that a contractor would be out in 24 to 48 hours. They kept that timeframe and a tech from Ashman Appliance and Services came out. He fixed the icemaker and said that he had to order a piece for the refrigerator, which was fine. He said he'd call back about it but I didn't hear from him.

    So, I called him and asked if he received the piece or not. I told him to make sure to let me know if he did because I work during the daytime, so I need to make sure that my son was gonna be there. And he said he'd call me back when he got the piece. His customer service on the phone could’ve been a little bit better and he needs to brush up on that. I'd also give AHS a heads up that his customer service ain't the best. But he knew what he was doing as far as the refrigerator was concerned and he did his job. All in all, the service was quick, accurate and on time. I'd recommend AHS.

    I had American Home Shield to cover major appliances for more than two years. The first time I needed them to repair my fridge, they said it is not part of the contract, I did not mind, I agreed. It is was my mistake for not reading the contract in details. Now I called in April, 3 and cancelled my contract, and they still charged me for April. I was not told about any cancellation fees, since I had a month to month contract. I kept receiving emails saying that I my monthly due are late and when I called in May 10, I was told that my cancellation was submitted, but not finalized and the agent did not say anything about a cancellation fee. He did not mentioned that I will be receiving a letter in the mail, and I did. I received it and it listed a cancellation fee. But nothing was prorated from April when I cancelled.

    June 22, I called and I was told that the supervisor is busy and might not return my call. Might not? What kind of business is this, no prorating of fees and charges cancellation fee $42.55 on a month to month memberships (equal to monthly dues, by the way, $42.25) and if you need to talk to a supervisor, your call is not guaranteed to be addressed. I do not advise anyone to use this company.

    It was the week that was the hottest here, and our AC broke so I called AHS up, and they came the next day but, unfortunately, it was Memorial weekend. So, the guy came and took the part that he needed, and he told me that maybe he can help me over the weekend, but he doubted because everything was closed. After that, they kept calling us and telling us that they were trying to get the part, but it was kinda hard. So, we waited almost a week to get the AC going, but what it is, is what it is. They were out of their hands when they had to order a part. They're depending on somebody else. But they did their job.

    The problem with Home Shield and one of the things that we find that is hard when you go online they don't give that many choices. So, you can't really explain what's going on. So, when the contractors come here to see what they have to do, sometimes they don't really know because you can't even write anything online to them. Sometimes, we prefer to do online. If it's not there, then we prefer to call them, so we can explain better. But I don't know if they're open 24/7 because sometimes things happen late at night. So they have to fix is whatever choices they have online. I know there's a million choices, but there should be a place where you can write and say what's going on, so you can get the service. But I haven't had a problem with them. Every time we call if we have a problem, they come and fix.

    Nevertheless, the people that were here for the AC were very nice. They keep constant communication with us, and so was Home Shield. They sent us an email every two days to just update us on what was going on. They really didn't have to do anything. They could have just waited for Home Shield to send us and let us know when they were coming back.

    It has been wonderful submitting a claim with American Home Shield. They are always good and prompt and they send out a good company. And I'm not wild about United Air Temp.

Also, the manager on the United Air Temp kept screaming at the technician to go on. He didn't care and charged the money for the toilets. So, that was uncomfortable. But AHS sent out another company, GSSN. The contractor knew exactly what was going on. He diagnosed it and fixed the problem. American Home Shield has always been wonderful.

    Usually, American Home Shield's techs are pretty good. But then recently, I had an AC issue and I was telling their techs that the blower motor was going out. They kept saying that the issue was one thing or another thing. First, they said the ductwork was too small, so I spent $3,500 putting ductwork in. Then, they said it was something else. They finally figured out the problem was a coil in the board and the blower motor and they ended up replacing both. Still, I feel like they could’ve gotten the repair done a lot quicker. I got about $3,000 worth of repairs done and all it took was a few service calls and a little bit of Freon. Apart from this issue, AHS's warranty has been worth my while. That one repair alone saved me enough where it took care of three years’ worth of the home warranty.

    I have American Home Shield with 2 homes right now and I just had 2 claims. One was an AC that was taken care of very promptly. It was just blowing regular air and it was not blowing cold air. The guy came out on a Saturday. Normally, they don't come out on a Saturday, but I'm not at that property during the week and he made an exception for us. He got the AC working fine. The other was a problem with a stove in Metairie, Louisiana and that was taken care of too. The guy called me and came out the same day.

    I’ve been dealing with American Home Shield for 13 years. Things were a little bit different back then, but they made a complete turnaround. It’s fabulous and I’m very happy with the service. I would highly recommend American Home Shield for anyone looking for a company like that to cover their repairs. Out of pocket expense for an AC repair can be a minimum of $500 and that’s a big savings. It may happen or may not happen. When it does happen, you can be prepared. It’s peace of mind and I really like that. It would kill me if our AC went out and we had to replace it. It would be very expensive. But we don't have a problem with American Home Shield. It’s always covered and we don't have to worry as much.

    I have been very, very pleased with American Home Shield. I've had them for about 3 years and they have been working like they are supposed to. When my air conditioner wasn't working, filing the claim was no big deal. I called, told them what the problem was and paid whatever fee I had to pay. I was contacted by the company they contracted with within a couple of days and they got it all taken care of. The process went smoothly. Then, when the air conditioner stopped working again, I called back and it was all taken care of pretty quickly again.

    The contractors were very professional and very easygoing. It turns out when the air conditioner stopped working, it was something I had done. I had changed the thermostat out and rewired it incorrectly. And they were very, very nice about it. I would use them again even if I didn't have American Home Shield. It was a little weird that my contract came up for renewal right after I submitted the claim and suddenly my payment went from $48.99 to $51.99.

    The garage door wouldn’t open and close properly and it was getting stuck. We submitted a claim with AHS and sent out Smokey's to work on it. Submitting claims is fairly easy online but sometimes the response is quite slow in getting the vendor to come out. Sometimes they don’t contact us and we have to contact American Home Shield again. If the vendor doesn’t call, we call them, or they’re hard to get a hold of, or they don’t come out. But it’s usually the former.

    I even submitted a complaint a year or two ago on one vendor who said they wouldn’t do the work because Home Shield wouldn't pay them properly for their parts and so forth. When I told Home Shield, they said that was incorrect. They shouldn’t say that. Also, some of them will try to do as little as possible and just get in and get out quickly. Some are better than that though, so it varies. But AHS needs to work on their vendors a little bit and demand better service from them to their customers.

    I had started a load on my dishwasher and it was not even five minutes into the load when I noticed that I didn't hear it anymore. I looked at it and it stopped. It was not on anymore. I thought maybe it had blown a circuit. I checked the circuit, but nothing. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, but still nothing. I made a claim with American Home Shield online and I didn't hear anything back for like two days. I got an email but I didn't get any confirmation. That was when I called American Home Shield. They said they just got the service request through to Sears. But the soonest they could get to me would be on July 1st. I asked if there was anything that could be done sooner or if I could switch to a different person. They were finally able to get me a cancellation that Sears had for the 27th.

    Before that one, I had a water leak under the house. After washing his hands in the guest bathroom, my husband said it sounded like something was leaking under the house. He had to go under the house and sure enough, there was a lot of water. It smelled really bad too. I don't know if it was sewer or if it was regular water. I put in a ticket online on that one. That was on a Sunday night that I noticed that. And just because it smelled funny, I called American Home Shield the next day. I told them I needed somebody here soon. It took them about a week to get somebody out here. But I think it's because we're in a remote area up in Northern California that we don't have a lot of people. The guy who came fixed the problem. The leak was off of the kitchen sink. There was also a plumbing line that was leaking.

    But I'm not a fan of this personal provider that we had. I felt like we chased him around a lot just so we could get him to the house. My husband would tell him that he could meet him here at a certain time. The guy would say yes and that he would be there right at that time. But he would show up an hour later or he would send somebody else and it wouldn’t even be him. He kinda ditched my husband twice and my husband took time off of work.

    Other than that, American Home Shield has been really helpful. They are amazing in trying to like get everything of ours fixed. They saved us this year. With the dishwasher, we had a vendor come out. But he technically still has a pending order out. We had our fridge go out before the sewer leaks. The technician had to order a part and he would be still coming back to fix it. When the dishwasher went out, he had seen that earlier in the year. I had a problem with it as well. We tried to get him to get the ticket.
