    I’ve been having issues with the refrigerator. I called Home Shield a year ago. That was the third time it was out. A-1 came out the first time because water kept dripping in the bottom. The tech walked in, in five minutes he told me I had to take everything out and defrost the refrigerator, but he guy didn’t do anything for the day. He didn’t do a good job because in five minutes he told me I needed to do the work. That aggravated me. I did it and fixed it for a while.

    And then I had to call again four months later because it started doing it again. This Dave, the guy from A-1 Appliance Service, came out and then we started talking. Told him what to do. I said, “I know you’re supposed to blow these lines out, blah blah blah.” He fixed it. Plus, the icemaker wasn’t working too, so he had to order a part and come back, so he fixed it. He’s a good guy. But then the icemaker quit working again. He had to come back and order an icemaker. Now, I have a feeling I’m about to get him back out on the freezer. He had to put Freon, and then it would get cold, but then it seemed like it doesn’t cool as much. And then he said it could be some of the copper lining in the walls of the refrigerator. It could be leaking Freon. But he did a great job.

    I live in an older home and it's good peace of mind for having coverage from American Home Shield on items in the home. I had sinks that were running slow and one of them was completely clogged. I called the office and the AHS reps were great. They told me that I would hear from them and then they would let me know a window when All Clear Plumbing & Drain was coming. The service from the plumbers was great but they did put a ding in some woodwork in my bathroom. Other than that, everything has been perfect since they've been out. This repair was definitely needed.

    The AC wasn't cold and we noticed that it didn't turn off. We noticed that even though it didn't turn off, it wasn't cooling. Upon further review and listening, it didn't sound right. The contractor replaced the thermostat and now it works perfectly. We love the company that came out. They fixed the AC within the same day. They were amazing.

    We had another issue with another appliance. We waited for a company to come out but they never came out. American Home Shield replaced the company. They came out and when we went over the problem with them, they said it required a whole bunch of work. I needed a cash out instead. So I called American Home Shield. They said that it was another department and they would have them call me but they never called. So now I try to get through but I can't. It's a over three-hour wait. The company called back and said they have the parts. But we wanted a cash out so we're still waiting for the call, and that was two weeks ago.

    The young man from Lake Area Appliance Service who came out to do my dishwasher was great. He called, made an appointment and told me he was coming. He came, looked and took care of everything. I have a problem with American Home Shield though. When my AC broke down, I called them and they sent someone out to take a look at it. I told them not to send that company out to my house anymore. The person who came out to my house was very rude and very disrespectful. I ended up calling his company and then let the supervisors know. So, the supervisor called me and did apologize to me. Then they sent another young man out. He was very respectful and he looked at my AC and said that I need a whole new unit. He sent it over to American Home Shield. I talked with AHS. It was a lot of money. They told me what they would cover and what they wouldn’t cover, so I really wasn’t set on that.

    I said, “Could I get another valuation? One lady helped me. She’s really nice. She said, “We can send somebody else out from a different company, get you a second opinion before you spend all your money.” So, they called another company. The man came out, and by this time, my AC didn't pop back on. It came back on. He said, “Oh, there’s nothing wrong with your AC.” I said, “No. There's something wrong with it.” It just wouldn't shut down like that.

    I went like five days without AC. The first company said I needed a whole new air handling unit. Then the next man come out said there was nothing wrong with my AC. After the second man came out, he gave his evaluation. American Home Shield didn’t contact me back at all. I called them and I said, “Hey, the second person came out, says was nothing wrong with my AC. But no one has called me back to see what I need to be doing from there.” Everything was going through authorization. He did mention that my thermostat was off. So, I figured he put that in the report. I called them back. Whoever pulled my report said, “We don't see anything about a thermostat.” I said, “Well, that's fine. But I had two people come out and two reports came in about my AC. So, I need the authorization to look at the reports and tell me what do we need to do next.”

    No one has still called me about my AC and said, “Ms. Smith, the first person said this was what’s totally wrong. This person said, nothing wrong with it. Where are we at with your AC? Are you up and running? Is it back down?” There was nothing. This has been at least three weeks. I've been with American Home Shield for 15 years. I give my money regularly. I pay my $75 every time I need something. I feel like they dropped the ball on it. They should’ve followed back up with me.

    Mr. Fix It Appliance Repair came in and was here for about 15 minutes. They made a diagnosis and put a new switch in my microwave, and it was done. They were wonderful. I'm very pleased with the service. I also recently had a new air conditioner put in and it took over a month to go through the process of fixing it then replacing it, and fixing it again then replacing it, and ordering parts. The company that did the work was great, but it took too long, especially in the heat of summer. I’m a single woman owning my home and I also have kids at home who live upstairs. I had to buy window units just to make sure that they could not fry in their rooms at night while we’re waiting for the service. So I have mixed opinions about American Home Shield but for the most part, I love the service. Submitting a claim to them is super easy and the follow-up is great.

    My AC wasn't working so I went online to make a service request. American Home Shield's website was pretty easy. Comfort Pros was selected for me and I got a text message that said I should be expecting them to call. The contractor did and made an appointment. Two young gentlemen showed up. They were quick and courteous. With these times, they asked to put on a mask and if they wanted me to put on a mask. They went upstairs, looked at one thing then they spent the majority of the time outside. That was all right. They were fine and my AC is working now. I have American Home Shield for situations like this like if something breaks down. I have no problems with them although the monthly price is a little steep. You pay a little bit of money to put the repairs onto another party.

    I don't like American Home Shield. I’ve been with them a long time and I don't like the service. There are also a lotta things about them that I do not like. For the air conditioner, they charged me twice separately and it was a long process to get my money back. I had a guy come out here to fix the washing machine and I already paid my money to these people. I probably would've told him to get out and just use somebody else, but at that point I didn't really have time for all that ‘cause I needed the washing machine done. Then something was wrong with one electrical plug and they wanted tell me that wasn’t covered in the warranty. It was just back and forth, back and forth. The man came out and fixed it anyway.

    The air conditioner and heating is one unit in itself. Their contractor was supposed to come out here to service it but they ended up charging me. They make you pay up front before you even get your service done. I used to pay the people when they came. I went on and paid them when they did the service. As for plumbing work, they’ve been out here and fixed the garbage disposal. I paid for the garbage disposal and something was clogged up in the drain in the same area. Just recently, I had to call them back out because my pipes were still leaking. All that should’ve been fixed two times ago. I would not recommend American Home Shield at all. Some friends of mine had American Home Shield and they were saying that they weren't satisfied with American Home Shield. I just swapped out for another home warranty.

    I had American Home Shield when I first moved in the house and then, we went with another company. I picked back up with American Home Shield in May. My garage door wasn't working properly. It wasn't letting up and down, and it was flashing light. I went online and submitted my claim to AHS and somebody got in touch with me the very next day. The contractor came out the day after that. So, it was rapid. The guy changed a couple of sensors on the garage door for me and it's still working perfectly fine.

    We just moved into this house and I wasn't quite sure about the electrical setup. The house was built in 1974 and there were some light switches that were out or if they weren't out, I didn't know which switch worked what. On a Tuesday, I called American Home Shield and talked to someone to submit a claim. I got an appointment for that Thursday between 2:30 and 3:30 and Mr. ** of Crabtree Electric & Construction was there at 2:30 on the dot.

    The way the house was wired (in some instances, between rooms), was wonky. For instance, there was one switch that turned the light on, but I had to go to another room to turn the light off and he fixed that. He put light bulbs in to show me that these fixtures work too. There was also a light that was out underneath a stair, and he fixed the outside outlets. Overall, he did everything that I asked and he went above and beyond. He was perfect and he was very nice as well. Any fixtures that needed to be taken care of or rewired, he did them and now, they're functioning great.

    My plumbing experience was different though. Again, we're in a house that's new to us and I wasn't quite sure how good the plumbing worked because the house was empty for a year. Before then, it had renters and people who are renting usually don't take care of things. I called American Home Shield back in June and the person I spoke with didn't speak English well. When he did speak English, I could barely understand him. I also made sure that I had enough money in my account so that when he said they were gonna charge me $75, it would go through. He told me the charge went through and then my check didn't bounce or anything, but I was surprised when they sent me a bill.

    I thought it went through, but evidently it didn't, so I called my bank. It was not necessarily a mix up in the bank, but a lot of funds were coming into my bank at the same time. That day, I paid and it went through. However, that night and the next day, how ever long it took for American Home Shield to submit my payment, my payment didn't go through because other bills have come through that didn't come through before. It was a matter of timing and when they sent the bills. Had American Home Shield done it that night, they would not have had to send me a bill.

    Also, I was trying to explain to the representative that there were slow leaks in my bathtub, in my showers, and in the sink and he was reading off a card. He could not quite get the concept that showers are in bathtubs at the same time as well. I was trying to explain to him that we have two showers and then we have a bathtub with a shower. I also told him that I have three full bathrooms, and then I talked about the kitchen sink. When I received the message that Pipe Dream Plumbing got the contract, I called them immediately to find out if American Home Shield related what my problem was. They didn't because the rep got it all mixed up.

    It turned out that my order read, “fix the kitchen garbage disposal.” Still, it was just that one glitch. That person trying to understand what I was trying to say while I was trying to understand what he said. Other than that, American Home Shield has helped us out tremendously with our two claims. The contractors, both electric and plumbing, were fabulous and I would call them back in a heartbeat.

    Our unit would come on and blow air, but the house was hot. The thermostat would read that the house is 80 degrees and it was set on 72, so it wasn't cooling at all. I did a claim online and someone called within 30 minutes of me filing it, and he was assigned to the case. We then had someone to come out the same day, which was perfect. On that particular day though, the tech wasn't able to do anything or didn't determine anything. When I called back again within the same week, the person I talked to had someone to come out the following day after calling back. The contractors then came in and went straight to the AC unit.

    They did what they had to do and then the guy explained the different things he was going to do and what he did, and that was it. They did everything very efficiently and they were nice. The guy ended up doing a capacitor and everything's been working great ever since. One thing that I can recommend is about the service calls. When the contractors come out, it's $100. The previous company that I used to have would be $75. If American Home Shield can consider or try to lower that fee from 100 to a lesser amount, that would be beneficial.

    When we would turn on the shower, the spout would shoot through the back of it and go into the wall. I called American Home Shield and spoke to a few people. The first few people were not very helpful. They said that I needed to change the wording on the claim so that it would go through. Then I explained more on what exactly what was happening and they kept saying that they had to get it over to a manager to review it and they couldn't do anything within 30 days. So I gave it a few hours and called back a third time and they ended up helping me. J & K Plumbing was nice and quick and they fixed the issue. The shower is not leaking anymore. I have family staying here and they can use the shower now without it spraying everywhere.

    I made my first claim on June 6th. This was for the AC and the contractor came out a total of 5 times. The first time, it was misdiagnosed. They thought that it was a dirty filter. I was shocked but we changed it. An hour later it was hot. Somebody else came back out and we needed a coil, which was partially covered. They came back out, put the coil in and left. It didn't work so they came out again. Then there was another part that was not good so they came out and fixed it. The fifth time, it worked, but they knocked the hose away from the drain. This unit is in the attic and they made a horrible mess because if it drains on the floor in the attic, it's gonna go right into the ceiling. Now, I've gotta hire somebody to come and paint the ceiling so I'm not really happy.

    My biggest complaint with American Home Shield is that I felt like it wasn't something I could just do online because there wasn't any place to really explain what was going on. I would have to make a phone call and my longest recorded call was an hour and 40 minutes on hold. It was 100 degrees out here in Missouri but they probably have a lotta calls and I'm assuming that they’re maybe working from home as well because I can hear dishes and kids. We've had American Home Shield for a very long time and it’s the first time that I've ever been dissatisfied.

My wife really liked the gentleman who came out. He was very informative on what he was doing and why he's doing it, what was needed to fix it. So we didn't have any issues with them. We were quite pleased. The service of AHS is fantastic as well. Submitting the claim online went pretty easy.

    Our AC had stopped working. My husband took a look at it and he had reset it and it started working again. We wanted someone to come out to just double-check all the wires were correct and to make sure that it was functioning properly, which they did. We went through the American Home Shield website. Then it showed on their website that a company was gonna contact us for an appointment, which they did. Then somebody came out from Global HVAC to service us. They did a wonderful job. My AC's running more smoothly, and the technician was amazing. It's comforting to know that everything is functioning as it should be.

    We have made 3 claims with American Home Shield in our 5 years of being customers. The first 2 (ice maker and disposal) were completed somewhat satisfactory, although they took a long time to schedule service. The ice maker needed a new tray as a result of a leak in the system. The system was replaced and a tray was ordered. 3 months later we still do not have the tray, although AHS has this claim listed as completed. We have asked for information to no avail and are resorting to buying a new tray ourselves.

    Our most recent claim was placed on July 11, 2020 for our ac. The earliest their approved technician could come out was July 14. It was determined that our compressor needed to be replaced. It is July 21 and we still have no end in sight. Every time we have called to get information (don't expect them to contact you) we were on hold for at least an hour. When the representative finally answers, they are basically sticking to a script and can offer no real guidance. The latest is that they were waiting for the purchasing department to buy the new compressor (we think, answers have been conflicting). When put on hold for them to contact the purchasing dept. they were never able to get through.

    I have called the contracted ac company to hopefully get new information and they said getting parts through AHS takes longer and the earliest to expect anything is mid-late next week. That will put us at 2-3 weeks without ac in Florida, during a heatwave. We have had temperatures in the 90s everyday and over 100 with the heat index. AND, to add insult to injury, the entire repair is not covered. AHS will only pay $10/unit of Freon. Freon is $90/unit so we will be out well over $500 for that, in addition to the deductible. We are using borrowed window units and many fans to try to keep cool (not very effective: the temp inside at 1am was 88 degrees), and I am dreading next month's electric bill from this debacle. My mother is looking for a home warranty company and inquired as to how we liked AHS. Needless to say, I will NOT be recommending them. There's got to be a better company out there.

    My request for service on my broken fridge was submitted on June, 16, 2020, the first appointment was scheduled for June 19th. It is now July 21st, over a month later, and my fridge is still broken. The first service provider they sent, GM Appliance, was a horrible experience. The first tech pair that came spent a total of 1 minute actually looking at the fridge. I tried to explain the issue and one was completely rude, the other said nothing (which means I did not need to allow two people in my home in the midst of a pandemic). He told me a part was needed and it would be 5-7 days to be delivered.

    I first attempted to follow up Thursday the following week with the appliance company and AHS. AHS informed me that the part should be delivered by Saturday, June 27th. I reached out to GM Appliance Monday and every day that week, left messages, and never received a return call. I contacted AHS again on Wednesday, and they were able to contact the company and scheduled the appointment for Thursday, July 2nd. A different tech came for this appointment. When I tried to explain the issue to him, while much more pleasant than the first pair, stated that he was only there to install the part and nothing else. He said that I would need to contact AHS if I had an issue and that the fridge should be up and running in a couple hours. It was not. It cooled down a bit, but by Saturday, July 4, I realized it was not staying cool.

    I contacted AHS to report that the fridge was not repaired and my dissatisfaction with GM Appliance, and asked to have a different provider. I was told I would have to pay another service fee, to which I did not agree since the techs never took an accurate assessment of the issue. I was told that I could request that they not send the previous techs, and they did the exact opposite.

    So now we are in week 3 (appointment, Friday, July 10th) of a broken fridge, they sent the same two techs (one rude and one silent), who did the same thing, opened the fridge closed it and said the part did not work and they would have to order it again. So not that there was a different repair, it was the same repair. I asked if there was anything else they should look at, and was told no and I would have to wait for AHS to decide what to do next. I asked if there was anything they can do to expedite the process and got a very rude “no, you’ll just have to wait”. I admit, I lost it on them a bit because the issue was not properly assessed either time and I now lost two refrigerators full of food 1-from the initial breakdown and another when it was supposed to be fixed.

    I called AHS, again, and was told there was nothing I could do until they submitted the report. After several back and forth conversations, and pleas to come up with alternatives, I was assigned to a new company. They provided no details to the new company and basically had to start from scratch. Now I am in the second round of waiting for parts to be ordered so I can schedule yet another appointment for something that may or may not actually fix the refrigerator.

    So I am literally paying for a service and received no service at all. I have had no refrigerator, in the middle of a heat wave, in the middle of a pandemic and the only answer I get is, "There is nothing we can do." I requested compensation for the loss of food because their provider was incompetent, I requested a refund for my service fee since to date, no service has been sufficient, and I even tried to cancel, but was told they don’t know how it will affect my current order. I have asked repeatedly to speak to a manager or supervisor and apparently they do not exist. I was told one would call me back, but the only call I received was a robo-call to complete a survey.

    At this point, it will probably be easier to just buy a new refrigerator. It is a shame I paid for a service to alleviate such stresses only to be 10 times worse off. I did ask if I bought a new refrigerator could I submit to be reimbursed and of course was told no, because the techs didn’t report that it needed to be replaced. Never mind that there was no diagnosis at all at that point (this was in between the two companies), if they did not report it needed replaced, all I could do is wait.

    This has been one of the worst customer experiences ever for me. It really makes me question the value of the warranty. I would rather have paid the cost of a new refrigerator to have my peace of mind and be able to properly care for my family in the middle of the summer, in the middle of a pandemic. I am extremely disappointed.

    No problems requesting service on-line. They collect the service fee up-front which is fine if you resolve your issues quickly but if you have problems with the actual vendor that provides the service, can be upsetting. The vendor (Relaxed Heating & Air Inc.) responded to me the next day after the on-line request was submitted. They called made an appointment to come out to fix my A/C 7 days later (scheduled for 07/21/2020). I was not happy about the delay and asked if I could request another vendor. They supplied the "direct number" to American Home Shield. Kevin told me to call back to cancel if we were able to get another vendor. I tried calling AHS and was on hold for close to 1 1/2 hours while waiting for an associate. Finally had to hang up to leave my office.

    I never called Relaxed Heating & Air Inc to cancel the appointment. We waited until the appointment date and called RH&A the morning of our appointment. Sabrina told me that our appointment was cancelled by the customer. Just like that. Despite my pointing out that I never called to cancel the appointment, the only thing Sabrina could do was give me the next available appointment on 07/29/2020 from 9-2. I accepted the appointment and am waiting for a call back from a supervisor (Parker). I am trying to reach American Home Shield for help in resolving this issue but so far, I have been on hold waiting to speak to an associate for 64 minutes. I guess the major issue with this company (AHS) is if you have a problem that you need assistance in resolving. No one is available to help you. So my experience is unsatisfactory for the poor customer service and lack of available associates to assist you if you have a problem with the vendor.

    We had AC that needed to be repaired/replaced. I had an Independent Contractor evaluate the Unit the day it went on the blink and they determined the Compressor (outside unit) had bad coils that needed replaced. They cleaned the coils with water hose and waited on my response. I called AHS and the first company could not come until 6 days. Lost 1 day waiting for confirmation. Called and requested my Ind. Contractor and they declined as they were not on their list. I see there was a post that they were told as long as they received a detailed quote they would be acceptable as long as they were licensed. So which is true?

    So they assigned me another Contractor. They confirmed next day and came the following day. His determination was the Air Handler Unit in the Attic had Bad Coils. Contradicting what the original Ind. Cont. (very reputable one) and asked that he verify with the 2 Technicians that were at my home. So I called AHS to discuss the difference in the evaluations and they just really were not concerned with the findings and did not state they would discuss with their contractor. She just kept going back to his diagnosis. I then requested if there were other options and she stated that I could go with the Cash Out Option. So as of today 5 days now I have no response as to what they would even do on our behalf. It still shows request pending and this is all they ever say on the phone. When they transferred me to that so called department I was disconnected immediately.

    Many hours of setting on hold waiting for someone to pick up to discuss the status if any. I have hired the Independent Contractor who actually talked to me about the units and advised in the long run it would be best replacing both units due to their age. AHS would never recommend that I believe. Also, what they actually were NOT going to pay on the new replacement & labor of just the AHU was $1,725.00 they would not tell me what they were actually going to pay for the replacement Unit only the $10 of the $700 R22 Freon, which was warranted for only 90 days I think because of the bad condensing unit outside. If they make good on the Cash Out Option or if they would accept the other contractors diagnosis and replace both units. I will update my post.

    I've been an AHS customer since April 2018, when we purchased a vacation home in North Carolina. The warranty came with the purchase. Our first year, the AC fan broke down on one of our units and AHS dispatched a competent service in a reasonable amount of time. Thus, we renewed the service. The following year, we had a different problem--one involving a failed relay on the heat pump. The repair person they sent added refrigerant (which was not needed and was quite expensive) and did not determine the source of the problem. We ended up hiring a local contractor on our own dime after I diagnosed the problem (which made it impossible to turn off the fan, which was blowing 90 degree air into the home).

    We also used AHS to bring in a plumber for a running toilet, which was handled competently (but did not really save us any money, since it would have been a cheap repair). Nevertheless, we decided to renew for 2020. This year, our garbage disposal broke down. We made a request, was charged the deductible, but it turns out the contractor was no longer servicing for AHS. Unfortunately, AHS does not provide any web options to notify them of that fact, so I tried calling. After 2 hours on hold, I was disconnected. Finally, I tried submitting another request, but it was routed to the same contractor that was no longer working for AHS. (At least I wasn't charged for that request, since it was within a month).

    Now, the fan on another one of our AC units appears to have failed. I decided that rather than being charged another deductible and then having no one show up (or someone less than competent) I would cancel my policy and pay for both the garbage disposal and AC repair out of pocket. Currently, I have been on hold with their "cancellation department" for 28 minutes, and have little optimism that I will ever get through. Which means that I may to cancel my credit card to get them to stop billing me.

    If you look at the AHS website, they provide no means of contacting them except a phone number and email addresses to report privacy concerns and security concerns. It is regrettable that the only way to communicate concerns to the company is through writing a negative review. I understand that COVID-19 has played havoc with businesses, and would be sympathetic to a company that attempted to resolve my concerns in good faith. But I believe the company is in over its head at the moment.

    On July 2nd I submitted a service request (**). The tech came on July 7th and stated he would not be able to get parts for my microwave as it is 6 years old and AHS would contact me to get it replaced. I waited 1 week to hear from AHS and in that time, I was not contacted by anyone. So, I called and was told AHS was in the process of approving a replacement. As of today I still have not heard from anyone. So I called again. I was on hold for an hour only to be transferred to another department where I sat on hold for 2 hours. I still had not spoken to anyone and had to end the call. I think giving up 3 hours of my day is sufficient enough time to sit and wait on hold. But, my claim has yet to be resolved and I DO NOT have that kind of time to sit on hold.

    On July 20th, I sat on hold for 6 HOURS until their lines closed down at 8:00pm! I am on the phone again with them this morning. I called at 8:00am hoping to talk to someone. GUESS WHAT? I have been on hold now for 46 minutes and the message when you call is a 10 minute wait time. This is being the worst service I have ever experienced in my entire life.

He indicated he would coordinate with AHS about having the pump replaced and would be calling that day. That was two weeks ago. I called the United Contractors, but did not get a call back. From past experience, I know not to waste my time trying to call them because their customer service is so poor.

Called MULTIPLE times last week, over the weekend and today and each time, my hold times have been hours long. Horrible business model. Sales dept answer within 3 min; replacement dept keeps you on hold for hours. Go figure- they are happy to start policies and take your money, but due their stellar customer service, can’t seem to answer the phone when something needs to be fixed. Due yourself a favor, spare your energy, time and money, and go with another company that is really there for their customers.

My wife and I were suspect to this and requested a second opinion. On Thursday, July 16, a second company arrived and contradicted the first company’s diagnosis. And the tech discovered that our water heater was still under warranty from 2016. We requested the new company handle our replacement. We were told that before close of business on Friday, July 17 we would have authorization from American shone Shield to have the second company proceed with the water heater replacement.

    We heard from no one and went without hot water all weekend. We called all day Monday, only to get the runaround from American Home Shield representatives, stating that since the water heater was under warranty, they were not responsible to do anything. However, we called the water heater manufacturer, AO Smith, who stated that home warranty companies at least pay for the labor, because they do not. We tried to reconnect with American Home Shield again but since the wait time is 60 minutes, we could not connect before close of business.

    American Home Shield has helped us over the years and we've found some wonderful people to work with. We always ask for the same garage person 'cause he's a good man and we love him. We trust him in our house. He knows his stuff and his company is really good. When our garage door stopped opening, we called AHS to file the claim. Garage Door Corporation came out and they fixed a spring.

    It was a week of stuff breaking including the garage and the dishwasher. The guy who came in for the dishwasher was great. They had the guy in quickly. He diagnosed it and it was too expensive to fix. So they recommended a new dishwasher, which was fine. We paid extra for an upgrade, the one we wanted. Then I got a call saying that they were gonna have the dishwasher shipped to me. But we didn't know anyone who could put it in. We were actually gonna cancel it and we told them to just send us money for the dishwasher and we'd just go. But they said they couldn't do it.

    The dishwasher was delivered and the person who delivered it was a sweet and great guy. Then we kept calling AHS but we couldn't get a human being. When I got on the phone, I would wait for an hour and a half to two hours. Then when finally someone picked up, they were saying that we would have to talk to a certain department.

    I found this guy to put the dishwasher in. So I wanted to ask AHS to whom I should send the receipt. When I called, there was no one to talk to about the receipt and the disposal of the dishwasher. I tried every phone number I could find on the website. They should make sure that there was someone on the other end and not a computer. It was just so frustrating. My last resort was to post something on their Facebook page.

    American Home Shield is very difficult. We're thinking about changing home warranties because of this fiasco. When things break, we get nervous especially if our refrigerator breaks. We're not gonna have a refrigerator for a month because it'll take over a month for them to get their act together. But the people who come to work on things in our house are wonderful. But the problem is getting ahold of a human being for help and communicating with a human being and not a computer.

    Overall, with Home Shield, we've had really good service and fairly good luck with contractors that have been sent out. We had multiple electrical things like switches, a fan that wasn't working right, and a front light auto timer that had failed, so we just replaced it with a switch. Something got dropped regarding either ordering parts or not getting on the right list. It took quite a long time. But once Kelly Brothers Electric found out about it the second time, it was resolved. We're back up and working, so all is well.

    The only complaint would be that it's very difficult to reach somebody if you call. So, if you have something outside of the selections that are on the website to place an automated call that way, call out like an immediate service, it takes a lot longer to add that information by calling in. If you have a very direct service request that you have that falls into the categories that are provided and you don't need to add anything on to that, an explanation or an additional issue within that, then you're fine on doing it online. Otherwise, you have to call. Both ways you get the service, but one is much awfully quicker and more efficient than the other.

    The pan in the air conditioning unit up in the attic overflowed and water went through the ceiling. James from the contractor, Changing Winds Heating, came out. He was great, personable, knowledgeable, and quick. He cleared the lines and dried everything up. The actual components of the unit itself were not broken but he repaired the issue that was causing the water to remain in the pan.

American Home Shield found a part but we're still waiting for them. It's been more than a week. The guy was really good.

    I noticed some of the toilets were not working right. One of them was messed up and one of them just wasn't operating correctly. The other thing was some of the water came out faster out of some of the things than the others and some of those things were right next to each other. The shower has two showerheads in it and in one of them, water came out a lot slower than the other. There are also two little sinks where you wash your hands and in one of those, water came out much faster than the other.

    The main reason I submitted the claim was I'm paying for this warranty anyway so I might as well file a claim and have somebody that knows what they're looking at and mess with it as opposed to me just doing random stuff. However, submitting the claim was annoying. When I was looking through the options, I didn't really know how to explain what I wanted so I just clicked on what I felt was most accurate. There's not a whole lot of options there and if you're not familiar with that stuff, it's hard. I didn't know how to classify things. As far as the stuff that was covered, it all seemed minor.

    The American Home Shield part is pretty quick but the plumbing company took a while to come out here. I kept trying to have them look at other stuff because I couldn't explain some of the stuff in the little portals that they have but I kinda got the sense that the tech was just there to check the stuff that was on the request and that was it. But they fixed the toilet. They had to make an adjustment to it and that does appear to be working a lot better now so that was good. As far the water pressure, the guy said there wasn't so much he could do. It was like a thing that he couldn't figure out why they were going like that. He did mess with the shower a little bit and he did make the water come out better now. I was okay with the work that was done, but I wasn't necessarily happy because you can still tell that they're coming out at different pressures. But the AC stuff has been fine. I recently had the contractor come back out.

    For an issue with a clogged toilet, American Home Shield sent us Loyalty Home Services. They came out right away and did a great job. They weren't there very long. They were efficient and clean. If people have an older home, a home warranty is gonna be worth the yearly fee especially if they have old plumbing and old air conditioning units. It'll pay you back if anything major happens and you're gonna be covered. But sometimes I wish American Home Shield would cover more items in the home. Otherwise, it's very smooth, especially with the web interface where you can literally request service in about 30 seconds. You just get on their website and bam, bam, bam.

    The technician from Anytime Lock & Key was wonderful. He rekeyed three locks in this claim. We also had a plumbing leak that we submitted to American Home Shield. We had to pay for the tile on our own but the contractor fixed it. We’re still waiting to hear back about someone coming to replace the sheetrock that was busted. So, we still have a hole in our ceiling from the hole they made for the plumbing leak and we have not heard back. They apparently routed it to the dispatch team, who was supposed to find someone to send out for sheetrock, but they couldn't find anyone and it's been about a week since we last heard anything.

    We also had an air conditioning issue which we paid on our own to replace because the company that AHS sent out was terrible. We wound up going with a company of our own and the Claims Department was to call us back with an amount they were supposed to offer but that never happened and we've called many times. I called back again about the air conditioning and I was figuring out if they were gonna offer us anything or us just totally replacing it instead of keep paying to get it fixed.

    A family member of mine had American Home Shield. I had a sump pump go out and I shared it with her. She recommended that I get American Home Shield so I did. When I filed my first claim, they did what they said that they'd do. The rep kind of informed me of what the process was. She gave me the name of the company and told me that they'd be in contact or if I wanted to, I could reach out to them to arrange for a scheduled time for them to come out.

    I contacted American Home Shield on a Friday morning and when I spoke with Reynolds, they did work Saturday but only a portion of the day so the earliest I was able to get them to come out was that Monday. When the gentleman came, he asked me where the unit was and I showed it to him. He did have a mask on in the wake of the pandemic, indicated that he'd be social distancing and hopefully whatever the matter was, it didn’t require him to come to my home. He took the system cover off and was able to identify what he thought it was. He went to his truck, got a replacement part, came back, asked me to turn on my unit, and it came on. It was a starter that he replaced. He also indicated that I was short on the refrigerant so he put another pound of it which he said was about how much I was short. The air conditioning unit has been working since.

    The guy from High Priority was very pleasant. He said he didn't have the parts and that he was gonna get the parts. He said that he was going to send pictures of the faucets that we could look which one we wanted. He never sent that, he never contacted us back, and our sink is still leaking all over the floor. We have to put our stuff down to try to chase the water. He said he would be back.

    The plumber was doing a good job at first and then when he came back to put the new one in that they sent out, he found out that it wouldn't work. The threads and everything would not work with the existing faucet. He said that what we have is imported because it's not like the ones in America. So he left. He said that he was gonna try to get the part. But American Home Shield wouldn't pay for the fix and to put the plumbing back in that I had. He said that they want to put something cheap in. The one that we have is not a cheap one. American Home Shield said that if they couldn't fix it, they will replace it. The contractor said that AHS is not gonna pay for that. He said that we could go and buy one and he would come out and put it in and wouldn't charge us anything. I said, "But this isn't the thing. Home Shield is supposed to be replacing my faucet."

    I'm dissatisfied with Home Shield. We called them and the young lady that we spoke with didn't seem to understand what we were saying. We were trying to tell her that the job has not been completed and no one has been back out or tried to contact us. It's been a back and forth thing, and we'd like to get it fixed before more damages are done to our property. The plumbers called us yesterday and we weren't available, so we called them back this morning and found out what the situation is gonna be with this problem that we've got.

    Five Star Plumbing came out and worked on a plumbing issue that I had. The guy who came did a good job as far as wearing a mask and being respectful. He knew his stuff and he cleaned up after himself. But I also had an experience with a plumber from American Home Shield that left grease stains and dirt. One thing that I wish American Home Shield did better is the timeliness of scheduling appointments. This has been the issue in the past. Last summer, my AC went out, and nobody came out for three days. It was 99 degrees every day. And to me, that was a problem. Then you can't call in. When I called for the AC deal where they came out last week, I was on hold for like 40 minutes, and then they hung up on me. So, then I went online and I filed a claim and they said they would be in contact with me. Then that next day, luckily, the AC company had a cancellation. I had called in the morning too and I left a message.

    There's no sense of urgency on American Home Shield. If you're gonna give a customer support number, someone should answer the phone. There are other companies that will say, “There's an extended wait time, so let us call you back.” You're gonna have that option. To be on hold for 40 minutes and then for the call to go dead is unacceptable. When you do a search on the top home warranty companies, American Home Shield comes out second place in almost all of them. So, that had me tempted. I don't wanna go to a different company, but because of the wait time and the lack of customer care or personalization, I’ve considered going to another company.

    The water heater stopped heating. We kept pushing the red button and it would still go bad. Then we called American Home Shield. The tech didn't have to replace the whole heater. He just replaced the elements in the bottom. It worked all right for about a week and then it started breaking again. That was when the tech said that it must be something more than that because everything else was good. So then American Home Shield sent out an electrician and he put in a new breaker and everything is perfect.

    When I called back American Home Shield for the water heater, I had to pay before I could ask for any help. So I paid two extra times the $75. They took off one but then there was one more on there so I had to call my credit card company and tell them that I was disputing it. But the American Home Shield guy would not take it off. I told him I was charged three times and I only had two services. He said that it was not on his bill. But it was on my paperwork. The guy said that he couldn't take it off because the third one was not on his bill. He told me to call my credit card company, so I did. I disputed it and they took it off.

    I go into the computer to submit my claims. But even when I called American Home Shield, they would call back, which I appreciate. I was really panicked with the water heater because I couldn't get anybody to help when I called the second time. That was why I ended up getting charged so much because I couldn't get through to anybody unless I charge. Also, when I called in, I couldn't get anybody because of the COVID.

    Phil's Good A/C & Heating has been out three times. Everybody has been really good, but the problem is that my air conditioning hasn't stopped running and my house is 78 degrees. The only reason it’s 78 degrees is ‘cause it has been raining in Houston and it's cooler here in the last couple of days. This has been going on since the middle of May. I live in Houston, Texas and it has been 82 degrees, some days, in our house. Every time we call American Home. Shield, we're on the phone for over an hour waiting to talk to someone, which we expect.

    I called American Home Shield about it and they told me that they were waiting for the report from another contractor and that they would call me back. The tech went around and said that it was blowing 68. I asked him what it was supposed to blow at and hee said that it should be around 58 or 59. So that was 10 degrees off. But AHS closed out this claim after I called them. My last electric bill was $524. And I'm expecting my next electric bill to be probably about that, if not more. So they can't say that the AC is running efficiently if my electric bill is that expensive, and we're keeping it at 76 to 77 degrees.

    AHS was so easy to work with. We had a refrigerator that went out and they were awesome with that. We also had the air conditioning a few years ago go out and they fixed it. That's why we stay with AHS for so long. But this air conditioning thing now isn't getting fixed. This is the first time we've been a little frustrated with the whole process. Their reps and the people that came out were super nice. But when they when they give us answers, it doesn't make sense. They told me that they would give me a call yesterday and no one did.

The first time I called about a claim, it took two phone calls until I finally got accomplished because of the language barrier. They had no idea what a dewatering system was. I don't think they understood what I was trying to tell them and I didn’t either.

    I have never had a bad experience using a contractor that American Home Shield has provided us and it’s always been in a relatively timely manner. The contractors have always been pretty good. Recently, we had no hot water in our master bathroom shower. The contractor had to come twice. The first time, he came and repaired some things. The next day when my wife went to take a shower, it started out not working so she called them and they came back out. It ended up being a faulty part that we had put on. The showerhead was not allowing the part that he had already replaced to kinda do what it needed to do. He took off the showerhead we had put on, put the original back on and everything went back to working perfectly fine. They were patient and he was consistent with providing a good service two times.

    Having the ability to just call someone to come make a repair or troubleshoot something for my family while I’m away was what interested me in wanting to have a home warranty. I’ve been a customer of American Home Shield going on ten years and every time I’ve had to use them, it’s always been positive. For the most part, the website does everything that I would have wanted it to do but it doesn’t really provide a lot as far as details of what’s actually wrong. They could put a comments block to provide more details of what’s going on.

    I used to be a customer of American Home Shield a few years back, but with the recession and everything that had hit, I had to drop it to cut back on expenses. But as soon as I was able, I got them back again and everything's been good so far. I'm a firm believer in American Home Shield. The AC service person they'd sent out was amazing. My air went out during the hottest spell that we've had so far this year. My husband is at home. He has a medical disability so he can't leave the house. I called American Home Shield, explained the situation and they had someone out that afternoon. The next day, they had to order a part. By the next day, we were up and running so everything was awesome.

    American Home Shield was part of the deal when I bought this house seven years ago. They've helped in with our water heater, AC unit, garage door, annd maybe some minor plumbing things over those seven years. We had an issue with the dishwasher where the hinges didn't work right. It would just fall down when you would open it up. It was an expensive unit. So, the first guy that AHS sent out was in a bad shape. It was like he was gonna die on my kitchen floor with the way he was breathing. And he didn't even fix the hinges but it was better than it was so we just let it go. Then, this other issue happened with our dishwasher. It started in May where the dishwasher wouldn't drain.

    Someone came out and said that I needed a part for the dishwasher and we ordered it. It came and then we had to schedule for someone to come out yet again. They installed the part and they left. We ran it once and the same issue happened. We had to wait again and then they came out and said that it wasn't that part and they wanted to try another part. We ordered that part and it came. Now they're coming tomorrow to put that part in. This has been going on since June.

    The contractors were fine. We had two separate contractors, the first one diagnosed as the drain pump but he clearly misdiagnosed 'cause the second guy came in and installed the drain pump, thinking that it was already diagnosed and probably didn't do any other further troubleshooting but it didn't work. The second guy came out again, then we showed him a video of what was happening, and then he was Googling stuff to figure out what it was. He now thinks it was this other thing, which was delivered. He's gonna install it tomorrow and I'm hopeful that it's gonna work.

    What American Home Shield has done a better job with recently, is that they have self-service on their website. Their customer service has always been somewhat abysmal. The hold times used to be ridiculous. But it improved and it had gotten better. With my water heater claim, it was a fight to get somebody to come out here for the water heater and I had to pay ala carte. But I still recommend a warranty of sorts for the home with friends and family. American Home Shield seems to be okay and it has protected me. If they could work out some of the rough spots, it'd be a lot better for them.

    THIS time it's my a/c again. Last year it took 3 weeks for repair since no technician has authorization to do anything and the company AHS assigns schedules 3 weeks out due to volume (NOT the only a/c company in town and they need to assign more than one). Next was dishwasher and it took almost 2 weeks to repair (same company). Technician had no authority to do repair and then forgot to process the request and as always, after three calls to AHS at 45 min wait time, they resolved it but took technician another week to get here since he needed more parts. THIS time same old song. After AHS recommended a/c service check in March we thought yes to avoid last year issues. 9 July initiated w/o. First avail was 16 July! He showed and said refrigerant is almost empty and suspects a leak but (of course) he has no authorization for a leak test.

    I called Sat since status on AHS online was (technician arrived) and said he was already here! She tried to call company to authorize another company and they're closed she said. I called again THIS Sat and wow, she got someone on the line and they said they promised they'd come Monday. I had a missed call Saturday and it was the company and since they're closed on weekends I called when they opened Monday and they blamed me for not answering the phone, I work! No voice mail etc and soonest is 5-6 days from now and made me feel like they were giving me special service as they're scheduling 3 weeks out. And I have no guarantee the technician will be able to authorize any repair which will make it another 7-10 days for repair.

    I am disgusted and tired of wasting my money and time with AHS. They need better customer contact and timeliness and ability for technicians to authorize repairs vs 'mother may I' for obvious things. 3 weeks from start to finish is unacceptable and they need more than one company in the entire city of Albuquerque for repairs.

    Talked with repair dealership and AHS numerous times and told them this has gone on way too long and that I want the dishwasher replaced. AHS told me they would call back and its been 3 weeks and still no return call. Their Customer Service call line, if you can get through at all, usually takes 90+ minutes to get through and this is a short wait period.

    This was the second time I had the dishwasher fixed. The first time, Pender Enterprises supposedly fixed it and that was the week before Thanksgiving. The same thing was going on then, it was leaking. The guy didn't come back for a couple of weeks and I thought he fixed it. Then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that water was coming out again on the front and the other side of the wall. Atomic Tech came out and the guy had to pull the dishwasher out and put it on its back or its side. He had to order the new part. When he came back with a new part, a week later or so, he had to pull it out and get it on its side or its back again to replace the part and that took a lot of work.

    The same thing happened with my clothes dryer. Pender Enterprises fixed that too and their guy came back with a reconditioned part. Then it wasn't a couple of months later that it stopped working. Atomic Tech came and fixed the clothes dryer again. They brought a brand new part, not a reconditioned one. So I wouldn't use Pender Enterprises again. The guy was very nice though.

    I had surgery last November 8th and my water heater busted on the 9th. My sister and daughter were here and we couldn't turn it off. I called AHS immediately and their guy just happened to be right in the area. He couldn't do it the next day 'cause that was a Saturday night and then he came on Monday with a brand new water heater. I was really pleased with that. Every time I have called American Home Shield, they've been on top of it immediately so I have no complaints for them at all.

    A valve had deteriorated in my shower and after a claim was made for it with American Home Shield, someone from Pacific Drain Services came out. They did the job and they resolved the issue in half an hour. The tech was also wearing a mask. This claim was fine but I had another one a week later that I wasn't very happy about. I had to pay a bunch of extra money.

    This was for my air conditioner. A tech replaced a part then said it needed more Freon or whatever coolant is in there. He said that American Home Shield charged for it and charged me another $80 so I still had to pay $150 just to get my air conditioner looked at. I was told after I paid the $75 originally that American Home Shield takes care of everything so I was a little disappointed where I had to keep paying more money for stuff.

    I was told by my Realtor who bought the home warranty for me that American Home Shield covers everything. It seemed like all I had to do was pay $60, $70 and they would come out and take care of everything. But it's like they don't really take care of everything. They charge a bunch of extra fees in order to take care of things. It's misleading when you think a problem is gonna be taken care of but you end up having to pay much money to do it on top of that. I don't know if I was given wrong information and I probably should have read all the massive paperwork I got about it so that I would have known more. But it seems like they set it up to be one thing but it's not really.

So they took care of it. They cleaned the sensors and adjusted the chain. And everything's good.

    I've had American Home Shield since 2011 and the claims submission has improved over the years. It was hard to get ahold of them before. But with the email and all that seems to help things. Once you put a claim in, they assign a person to come out and then they even tell you that the person may be calling you within 24 hours. If not, you can give them a call. I usually did that just because I was working outside the home and had to schedule a time when I could be available when they could be available and that worked out fine. It was easy talking to the contractor because I would explain that I would work out of the house or I'd tell them that I was working until a certain time and we would work it out and everybody was pleasant.

    American Home Shield sent AAA Appliance Doctors for a washing machine issue. It was something with the pump that wasn't pumping out. The tech did a great job. He had to order the part. Unfortunately, because it was so late in the week, he couldn't get it in time and ended up being on Monday, but that was fine. He got it done and all is well.

    I've been very pleased with American Home Shield. The only time it was really aggravating was with the refrigerator. The tech came out to fix it, he fixed part of it and the other party had to order a part. Then they weren't able to come out for like two weeks because there were backlogs. The part came in within a couple of days. It was just hanging out here, but they couldn't get back to me for like two weeks. Then, someone came back. This went on for over a month. The wrong part was ordered because he based it on what was in the system for Sears when there were so many different models. The new guy had to order the part, and it was gonna be another two weeks. It was very aggravating as far as that was concerned, but they got it done and everything's working fine.

    Then with the AC, Billy came out and he added Freon, which cost me $225 along with the $100 service fee. That was fine, but it's still two different temperatures from my big sun porch to the main part of the house for some reason. The biggest complaint is that I'm setting the thermostat on 78 in both places, and it's a very big difference in temperature when you walk from one room to the next. They’re set on the same thermostat and I don't get it. My power bill went from $188 to $400. It didn't make sense. My house seems to be cooling and it's not running all the time. But there's still a difference between the two and the thermostats are within 20 feet of each other diagonally. So, it's very strange.

    American Home Shield's claim process is easy. I have some electrical issue, but to call in right now is kind of crazy. You're on hold forever. But online, you don't get to check all the boxes. I have multiple things, but I don't wanna call for a ballast that is bad in my laundry room and spend $100 on the service fee when I also have two ceiling fans that are problematic. I have a list of electrical issues.

    There needs to be something where you can put in notes or you can be a little bit more specific. Once the contractor calls to schedule the appointment, you can speak to him about there being multiple things, but I don't think they're prepared for that. If it's on the front end, you're able to tell American Home Shield what’s going on and how many different things. It would make it a little bit easier if there was a way to put in a note section. I've recommended American Home Shield to several people over the years. I had it with my old house. There are several people who have bought American Home Shield after I talked to them. I've had no problem recommending even with all the trouble with Sears.

    My air conditioner wasn't staying cool in the house. Greenway was a nice contractor but within two weeks, the AC was out again. I had to call back because they said they fixed it. Their contractors know what they're doing when they're sent out. But I'm really not satisfied with American Home Shield like I used to be. I needed some fix and it took them so long to fix items. But right now, I'm happy that the AC is okay.

He identified the problem, went and picked up the fan motor, come back the same day and fixed it, and it's working great. American Home Shield has been really good.

    My Jacuzzi tub does not work. I've filed a claim with Home Shield for it but they have not fixed it. They sent four people out here. The first three had no clue on how to deal with a Jacuzzi tub at all. The fourth guy who came out was an electrician. He was smart enough to figure out how to get access to the motor for the Jacuzzi. He didn't do it because that wasn't his job but he showed me how to get access so that when the next guy would come, I could tell him how to do it. But they closed the claim. So I have a Jacuzzi that doesn't work and they have not fixed it.

    Last week, I sent in another claim for my air conditioner which broke down. AHS sent out a repair guy who said the air conditioner was shot and I needed a new one. But the claim was denied. I had to go buy one and I ended up having to pay $4,000 to the company that American Home Shield sent out and I happened to live near the desert and I needed my AC. The repairman even said that he didn't understand how they declined it. So I'm taking them to Small Claims Court on both issues which are validly covered under the warranty.

I like the service, but at some point, I don't think it's fair that the price goes up every single year. I don't agree with that part at all. There's also no rebate program. For example, if you use it less than five times a year, there should be some kind of rebate you would get back or some kind of savings, whether it's 5% or 10%, on your next premium.

    One of my friends suggested that I go with American Home Shield. The home will have ups and downs and something will break so I went with them. The guy who came for the AC looked like he was not experienced and I tried to tell him what the problem was. But he was saying that I had a little less Freon. But it wasn't that. I told him that my AC works then it turns off. When the second guy came, I had the same issue and he changed the capacitor. The AC is working fine now. When I called on Saturday, the technician came on Tuesday. It took an hour and 30 minutes to fix it but the timeframe was okay. I was without an AC but I didn't have any option.

    The AC unit kept trying to run but it would not start and we have a Nest thermostat that was showing that it was trying to cool constantly running but it wouldn't. The temperature in the house was not dropping. Then we got a notice from our power company saying our power usage was way up so that was when we called and made the claim. 5 Star Home came out in about three days and part of that was because of our schedule.

    The air conditioning unit quit blowing cold air. All Comfort did an awesome job. The tech was quick to figure out what was the problem and he got it resolved real quick. He was real friendly. It turned out that condensation on the air conditioning unit went into an overflow and that overflow started to fill up. At that level, it will shut it off, so it won't overflow into your house. It turned out that we just needed to clean that out and clean the drain out, and then check out the unit to make sure everything was fine. The tech did all that he could possibly do. He did the job not more than 40 minutes. He was very responsive and very knowledgeable.

    American Home Shield did really good too. It took a little while to get some response in the beginning. I emailed and tried to call. The hardest part was trying to get someone to respond real quick with the claim. When they responded, it took about a day or two for them to assign someone to us. The individual came from about 60 miles away. There is about four air conditioning companies in our community. It would have been quicker if one of them could have been on that list to respond.

    When we purchased the house three years ago, our intention in the beginning was to have the warranty for about a year then we should be able to figure out what the issues were with the home. But we went ahead and kept it just in case, and it paid off. It’s a securing factor knowing that if something does go bad, then there's gonna be some assistance in there.

He had the problem fixed within about 15 minutes.

    We were having a major issue with our air conditioner, and it needed to be replaced. It started running water inside the house. My husband told AHS that I had medical issues and I needed to have someone come out quickly. This was like on a Wednesday and they were not gonna be able to actually come out until next Tuesday. It was the law that if someone was over 65 and had medical issues couldn't get overheated. So he called AHS back and they said that they would try their very best to get by the very next day 'cause we had called in the afternoon. So I just went to a hotel and spent the night there and they all spent the night in the house and it was hot.

    We had some bad luck the last two weeks so we had two claims with American Home Shield. One was for the AC and everything went fine with that. It's fixed and up and running. At first we thought the problem had something to do with the thermostat. My husband said, “Oh, we just needed a new thermostat.” So, he got a new thermostat, put it on, and it still didn't work. The problem was actually something disconnected in the mechanism in the main furnace in the garage.

    With American Home Shield, having the claims done online and getting the service out here have been great, but then, getting a hold of somebody in person has been almost impossible. I have a log. One time, I was on hold for an hour trying to get a hold of them. So I'm on the fence. I'm really happy because we got service out here. They fixed the issue, but being able to get a hold of somebody really easily has concerns for me, especially when we had our second claim. Our washing machine melted the belt and it smoked. Getting someone out here was easy. But when the service people leave, then it’s like you're up in the air and you can't get a hold of anybody at all to find out an update on anything. Being able to contact somebody directly to get answers has been very difficult. So I'm not happy with that at all.

    I had a rekey claim with American Home Shield, and there were a few different miscommunication. The first time I scheduled the rekey, the person didn't put it in the system correctly. They put it in for like the day before. So then, we had to reschedule. Then, when it was actually scheduled, they came, they did a great job. They were a little bit late, but that's not a big deal. Then later on after the rekey, we found out that the doorknob pin was gone. So then, the doorknob wasn't staying in place. I contacted them about four times to try to schedule something.

    So then, they came in and we had a couple of one time that they said that they were coming, but then didn't come. They were like, "Oh, there's nothing we can do." I asked how it is gonna be handled. Then, a couple of days went by and they said, "Okay, we can schedule something." They scheduled it but didn't come that day. Then schedule again for yesterday after I pinged them again. They switched out the door, and then it works great now.

    They did get me a new lock without saying, "Well, we don't know what happened. We're not gonna do anything about it." The difficulty is around actually getting that to happen. We were following up for a long time just trying to get in touch with the right people. We couldn't do it online because they automatically charge $75. Even if you click on "this is still an issue," it still charges you $75. So, there are two big actionable items. If there is an issue with something, you could talk to somebody before you're charged for someone to come out. They could also shorten the time windows so it's not like a nine-hour window. A huge time window between 12 and 9 pm was kind of rough. A shorter time frame would be really helpful. I feel like that's very actionable.

When you make that call to them, you're gonna wait at least four days before anybody contacts you. I always have the telephone number that they've given me.

And then it leaks again, like, “Oh, God.” One thing that I kinda disagreed with, if one contractor that came out contracted via American Home Shield, the plumber had to cut the ceiling in the overhead. I ended up having to pay a second $75 basic fee to have another contractor repair that. I got it that plumbing guys only do plumbing. They don’t do drywall.

Luckily, the residents were self-sufficient and they got by what they needed to do until the issue was rectified. The wait time with American Home Shield sometimes can be out of this world. It would be 30 to 45 minutes or more. But during this pandemic, it's gonna take some time for somebody to get on the phone with everybody else as well.

    When they sent out Billy's AC, I was very dissatisfied and I wish to not do business with them anymore. The issue was that I submitted a ticket to American Home Shield on May 31st. It was a recall and the tech acknowledged that he received it but he overlooked it. I kept going down the list and I kept calling him. I asked him when could he come or at least acknowledge when he could come out here. I worked with him before and he said that since I have AC and a lot of his customers don't, he was gonna take care of them first. I was okay with that because nobody was living in the residence at the time. However, after a month, there was no phone call.

    I had to call American Home Shield three times to call Billy's AC on the phone, but they would never call me back to schedule anything. I was very disappointed in the way that was handled. It was bad business and very unprofessional. I would’ve been more understanding if they have given me a call to say that they received my recall and scheduled something out.

    Only because of my ConsumerAffairs complaint, was my American Home Shield situation taken care of. Their customer support is so hard to get in contact with that my only remedy was to make the complaint and see if they would contact me. I, without exaggeration, made at least 6 phone calls to try and get compensated for a new refrigerator. I was on hold for two to three hours each time, only to be disconnected each time. I give consumer affairs a 5 star rating and AHS a 3 star and only because I did get paid back for the appliance, Eventually. I was without a refrigerator for about 6 weeks.

    Original Review: July 19, 2020

    I both love and hate AHS. I can give them a five star rating some times and a zero others. I’ve been a customer for years, many years. I’m not going to get wordy here. But I should because right now I have been on hold with AMERICAN HOME SHIELD for 1 hour and 57 minutes. Took them 2 and a half months to repair my AC a few years ago. I bought a window unit to get by. Most of the time the contractors are pretty good. It’s the HOLD TIME that gets my goat.

    I called them 7 weeks ago to have my refrigerator repaired. I did it online so no phone call necessary. A contractor was here pretty quick and then a week or so later the part came in. All good. It didn’t fix it. That’s ok, stuff happens. Tech came back a day or two later and said he was ordering another part. That’s ok too. So now I'm living in COVID days for about 10 days without a refrigerator. That’s tolerable. So, no word from anybody for another week or so. I can’t get through to AHS because of super excessive hold time. I tried 3 times. Hours on hold. Had to hang up because I have this job thing. I’m starting to get a little PO’d. I called the contractor and he said it was non repairable. But no one ever called to let me know that. I call AHS. I wait on hold for 3 hours....I’m determined now.

    FINALLY....I talk to some sweet girl in the Philippines. BUT....I need to talk to someone in the appliance replacement department! Oh yea, I’ve got this! I just need to hold for a few minutes. I’m gonna make it! I go to lunch with my cell phone stuck in my ear like it has been for the past 3 hours and 15 minutes. I drive to town. I order lunch. I park in the shade to eat. I’ve still got this dang cell phone in my ear! The recording tells me how sorry they are...over and over and over again. I drive the 10 miles Back to my office. By now I’ve been on the phone for almost four hours, but I’m determined. I get out of the car and the call drops.

    I have been defeated but not beat. I get my wife to call the next day. I’ll show them whose boss! I get home that afternoon and she is hot; and not HOT in a good way, she is MAD! At me.... after 3 hours she finally got through and they told her we had been approved for a new fridge. All I had to do was CALL BACK after I bought the new fridge and they would send me a check for up to $2,300. YEA! We won! Or did we? I STILL HAD TO CALL BACK!

    Now remember, I’m on hold with AHS as I write this review and they hung upon me just now (disconnected) after 2 hours and 37 minutes on hold. That’s probably ok because it would have been the wrong department anyway. I just want my check for the replacement of my appliance. I have no recourse but to put my wife back on the phone for the great waiting game. GOD, I hope my marriage can handle it.

    All of this is true except the part about not getting too wordy. I will be glad to write another review if someone from AHS will actually see this, review my case before contacting me, and...just email me...with something that can be done without a phone call! And if you do, please don’t say how sorry y’all are. It’s ok. I just want what you have already approved, my reimbursement for my refrigerator that I went 7 weeks without.

    Dr. Cool came out to fix my air conditioning. It was a good experience. I called American Home Shield to file the claim and I was told to expect the contractors out in the next two days. The repair made things much easier. Since we're using Home Shield, I didn't have to worry about a big bill expense. I knew what I was gonna pay upfront. Home Shield is a good product. It's a good service to have for any homeowner who has appliances because things are gonna break and things are gonna happen in the home. So, knowing that I only had a deductible to pay and I didn't have to worry about the cost was great. American Home Shield’s been around for a long time. I used to have them way back about 20 years ago when I used to live in Bloomington, California and I owned a house. I'd tell others to do it. It's something to look into.

They had a fixed date and they took a long time to fix the AC compressor. It took more than a month or so and there was a heatwave of 80 to 85 temperatures.

    My air conditioner wasn't doing anything. It wasn't blowing. I said I was gonna have someone come out and look at it. I called AHS. Thermodynamic Technologies came out. It was leaking. He said it was the condensation. He said it was natural. This morning, my temperature was reading 80 degrees. Now, it is 73 degrees upstairs, so it's coming down.

    I called in a claim to AHS. Somehow or another, it got canceled, but I didn't cancel it. Thermodynamics said they didn't cancel it. But, the contractor came out today. He took something off outside. He was upstairs in the attic, 'cause that's the unit that was messed up. He went outside and did some more checks. It was like a small battery box. But why did I pay another $75 for someone to come look at the same part or the same issue? I had tried to explain it to someone on the telephone, and they said they would, but I still got charged. But I was like, whatever I had to do to get my air fixed.

    The contractor that came out was professional, thorough and straight to the point. We had a later appointment, it was supposed to be between 2:30 and 3:30. But when I had spoken with him last week, I said, "My unit's upstairs and it's gonna be in the high 90s.” He was like, "If I get some early, I'll come earlier." He called this morning at 9:30. We were here so we were glad we had him coming.

    Two outlets were out in our master bath. The guy from Master Lee's Electrical Services came out and he tested one. He didn't know where it was at. He put in a new outlet and he still couldn't find it. I told him that there was one out on the outside wall so he went out there. There was a GFI out there also. He pulled the box off and there was also a breaker box outside of the house. The outlet was all corroded out there. He said that he was gonna replace the GFI 'cause it could be the culprit too. He then looked at the breakers and saw that there was water getting in there. He couldn't crawl through the attic because it was too tight for him. So he said that they had a little guy that could do it. He put everything back together and nothing worked.

    30 minutes after the guy left the house, I called the manager back and told him that the outlets were working. The light came on and they were working now. But he said that he wasn't gonna close the claim out because he was still concerned as to why the outlet was doing it. He said that there would be a guy coming out, but they couldn't come out there until next week since they were swamped. He would send the same man back because he knew what was going on.

    The same guy came out and he checked the outlets again. Everything was working. He went outside and he wanted to look in the breaker box one more time. So he got in there and he pulled the panel off the front where the breakers were. He started looking at it and said that all the. power was coming in from the alley and was hitting the breaker box. Then it would go to one that was in our garage which had all our breakers for our individual bedrooms and stuff. There was this thing out here too because we didn't have one of those jetted tubs right in the master bath. He said that he was going to separate it because they had put two connections onto one breaker which was not right. He put a new breaker in. So he separated all the breakers and put them on their own individual ground. And we hadn’t had any trouble since.

    Master Lee's Electrical Services did a great job. They didn't have to send somebody over to crawl through the attic. After the guy finally opened up that breaker box out there and looked at it, we saw that it had gotten wet and it was rusting. So, I built a little makeshift plastic container and put it over the top of it. And everything's fine now.

    Perfect Temp was sent for our AC unit. The condenser was dirty and their tech cleaned it out pretty thoroughly. Then as far as poor airflow stairs, he said that the nature of the ductwork itself is being too narrow to reach the upper level. That wasn't something that they could take care of in a service call but he did a pretty thorough cleaning and it helped quite a bit. I thought it was a good service call.

    Both of the ACs were out and the contractor took a week coming out and getting it done. The technician said that on one AC, it was a coil and for the other one, it was a compressor. He changed both and it worked for a day or two and then, it got hot again. He came back out and he did something to the downstairs air conditioner. It's still working not as great but it's cool downstairs. At this very second though, the upstairs air does not work. We still have fans and stuff around the house downstairs and I'm sleeping on the sofa, so I don't have to sleep upstairs and my mom downstairs.

    The technician was denied from coming back out to fix the upstairs air which had something to do with us needing to pay $1,075 for something. They’re saying it's not covered but we need it fixed because it's hot and my mother is 75 and a dialysis patient. They sent it back to authorization again to see if American Home Shield will approve it but we got a letter yesterday saying that it was denied again. It's frustrating because whatever is going on with the air, it now leaks and some of the sheetrock are coming down. We got to pay for that too.

    We had two claims with American Home Shield and the contractors were here at the same time. The track on the trash compactor was broken and it wouldn’t open and close. So the tech from Ramey Appliance replaced the track and it opened. Everything's working great on it. We also had Crown Appliance and they did the instant hot water behind the garbage disposal. Their tech wasn't allowed to remove the garbage disposal to replace the water heater. He said that American Home Shield wouldn't pay for it. So, I had to remove the garbage disposal myself and then reinstall the garbage disposal myself when he was finished. It was a little frustrating that they weren't allowed to do that, but it was easy enough for me to do. Overall, they both did a good job.

    My neighbor said I may be sorry I went with American Home Shield but I had just called about my washer and although I did have to pay as soon as the repairman came, the service was very quick. I had to wait a few days for the repairman to come. But everything went beautifully and Tarheel Appliance was wonderful. I hadn't used the washer for four days and I explained to the guy what it was doing. But when he went to turn it on, it started right up. So I was out 130 some dollars for the service call but that wasn't his fault and that wasn't Home Shield's fault either. He was great and I was very impressed with the service with Home Shield.

    My neighbor said that maybe the company has changed and I said I would find out. A few weeks ago, I would've highly recommended them but after yesterday and this morning, not so much. I was on the phone all day yesterday, trying to get a hold of them and it was an hour's wait. It was ridiculous and I was very annoyed. They had upped my price for $15 without me knowing and I have it automatically drafted. I even stayed on hold for one hour to see if they would pick up. I thought that an associate had to be available within an hour. I know that because of COVID, everyone is flipping out. But it was an hour's wait and then I got disconnected. All of a sudden, I heard beep, beep, beep.

    There was a feature that said if you would like to be called back, they'll call you back. That's what happened. A guy called me back but then he put me on hold twice. On the second time when he got on, he was just getting ready to tell me why they upped it and then I heard beep, beep, beep. I was cut off one more time. I tried to call him back right away but I was rather disappointed that since we were disconnected, that he himself did not try to call me back. I tried calling again at 7:30 last evening and it was still an hour's wait. I tried to call this morning and it was still an hour's wait. I am dissatisfied. I even googled and the site that I went on said American Home Shield's customer service was not recommended too highly. That was disappointing to hear.

    Initially, the contractor said that it was out of the coolant and so, the first time they came out, they put more coolant in it. Then about a week later, it went out again. So, they came out again. At that point in time, they said that the compressor was shot but they couldn't get an authorization from American Home Shield who had everything they need, from the fact that we need a new compressor. They were telling me they didn't have the initial visit and how much they charged for coolants, which really doesn't matter but that’s something they can figure out after we get this resolved, so I can get an AC. They are supposedly saying that Everyday Heating and Cooling is not submitting things to them, which I know that they are because I've talked to them several times. It's been a month or so that I have been waiting.

    The same issue happened when my water heater busted. I didn't have to wait that long for it however, American Home Shield sent people out who said that they would have to get all the other stuff up to code which was a little bullcrap, because there's no way that the area wasn’t already up to code or else the house wouldn't have been able to be insured. Instead of wanting to pay for my water heater, they were going to charge me double what the water heater was gonna cost. American Home Shield is terrible. I would never recommend it. I've been with them for seven years and I wish I never would have gotten it in the first place. It's a huge ripoff and they're not beneficial at all.

Fortunately, a young lady by the name of Shamika picked up. She was super patient and very, very nice.

They said they could match me with somebody else but that would require them to cancel the work order. So we started another one and they said the worst thing that could happen was that we could get somebody that didn't work until Monday, and then be busy Monday and maybe not have somebody till Tuesday. So I said we would just keep the first work order. It was slightly frustrating but it wasn't a deal breaker. They didn't do anything wrong. But the repair guy that came out was really great. He worked on it for 30 minutes and fixed it. It’s been working great ever since.

    Overall, it was really easy to submit my claims. It only took me a couple minutes. I tried to do it on the website and there was a little glitch.

    When I flipped my air conditioner switch to have it come on, it just never did. I contacted my homeowner’s insurance and submitted a claim. They said that NW Sundance Services would be contacting me back shortly after I did that and they did. They were great. Since they came, everything has been good. We were in 90 plus degree temperatures and the repair has really benefited us quite a bit.

    They really worked hard to resolve it and although it took a few trips, they hung in there and got it done.

    I submit claims with American Home Shield on the phone and the contractors are pretty quick in getting out here. We have three HVAC units and we had a claim for the unit downstairs on our kids' side of the house. Millenial HVAC came out and they were very communicative. I was extremely pleased with them. They worked with it and kinda got it running the first time. But the next day, it quit running. We had them out again and they told us it was probably the compressor but they were not gonna replace it. They told us upfront that they don't get paid very well if it is a compressor and the compressor is gonna cost more than that.

    I was very appreciative of the honesty but we didn't get our equipment fixed. We've never had a problem with American Home Shield in the past. It's been the best insurance we've ever had and we've gotten a lot of good things from them. They've always stood behind what we've had issues with, with the exception of this one. This is the only issue we can't seem to get fixed.

    In the one year I was with AHS, I had two claims. The first one was my refrigerator and the contractor came out and realized that it needed a fan. But they did not have that on the truck because it was a special fan. So within three days, they ordered the fan, it came in and they called me to say the fan came in. Then they came and installed it and my refrigerator is perfect. I did another claim when AC was dripping water. Total Air Care came out and they did whatever they had to do. The tech assessed what the problem was, went back to his van, got his tools, came back and did what he had to do. In 15 minutes, he was done. The leak stopped and my AC has been working ever since. AHS is doing great. They are reliable and the contractors that they have seem to be efficient in whatever they’re doing. They know their thing.

    The guy from our RK Plumbing Heating and Cooling came out for a plumbing issue and he was on time, professional, and excellent. This has been a drippy faucet for over a year and in the guest bathroom. It even corrodes the part of the stopper. He took care of it immediately and knew exactly what he was doing. I've been very happy with American Home Shield. I find it easy in submitting claims and the time for someone to come out is very reasonable.

    We've had two different contractors. The very first one was on our kitchen stove. I wasn't impressed with them because they came out and the tech said, "Well, I gotta go see if we can find the parts for it." Three days went by but I didn't hear anything from anybody. I called Home Shield and they said, "Well, he hasn't even turned anything in to us." It all worked out in the end because as soon as he did his job, then Home Shield was right there to take care of us. The other time, Oaks Heat and Air's tech was wonderful. He was very professional, on time and answered all of our questions.

    Normally, I submit claims online, but I once did it over the phone and it was fantastic. The other night, somebody on my Facebook page said that they had some other one but they had nothing but problems, and asked if anybody knew anybody. I went on and put a big old story on how wonderful Home Shield's service has been.

    Everything worked the way it should with Home Shield. I submitted a claim online, which took about three minutes to do, and then they sent me a text indicating the vendor I would be dealing with. They said I could reach out to the vendor or the vendor would reach out to me. I went ahead and called the vendor, Main Line Plumbing Service, myself because the issue was with the air conditioner and it was 95 degrees. They fixed the problem in a timely fashion. The tech was able to diagnose it when he got there and he was in and out relatively quickly.

    American Home Shield sent Advanced Home Services out for an AC issue. It's like a little cylinder that went bad. They were able to replace it and get it fixed. Also, they had to add a little Freon to my system. They told me everything that they were gonna be doing and told me exactly what it’s gonna be if it was any extra, and what I would have to pay extra. So, I was very pleased with their customer service and how they were very professional in doing their job.

    I've had American Home Shield for over six years now and every time I have put in a claim, it was very easy when I did it online or even if I called them. Within 24 hours, the contractor that was coming out to do the services will give me a call and then we'll set up a time and then they come out and they do whatever they need to do. Everything has been working smoothly.
