    When a bunch of plugs had stopped working and I filed a claim, I was told to expect the contractor within 24 hours. Their website was very user-friendly. The guy that came out was very professional and on time. Moreover, he knew what he was doing and fixed the problem. Now, the plugs are plugged in and providing electricity. My home is around seven years old and not for too long now, we’re gonna start to have things going south on it and AHS is good protection.

    I was with Home Shield for a lot of years, and then we got moved around my job, and I was renting so I didn’t need them for a couple of years. But I’m back. I’ve been with them since late summer last year. They have an online portal you go to. You just log in on the portal and again, within 24 hours, they’re very responsive. I normally get almost next day service and it’s normally in and out. The contractors do a pretty good job in my experience. A Affordable reached out immediately. They contacted me by phone, set up a date and time which was the very next day. And then they had a scheduling change so they moved me up on the schedule. They came out and the guy was here not even an hour. He was very professional.

    I've had American Home Shield for about 12 years now because I've had it on my rental property in Georgia and another home in North Carolina. Now when I initially bought this home, there was a home warranty that came with it and the owners paid for that. I tried to use them to file a claim initially and I could not get through and I just ran back to American Home Shield and got the warranty myself. The turnaround time for a technician is awesome, so I've never had any issues. As soon as I called the work order in, either a technician comes out that day or the following day.

    This home has four bathrooms. Two of them always got clogged up. The water just kept on running on one of the bathrooms and never filled up to the top. I would have to turn it so it could stop. Then, I had a leak on one of the bathroom faucets. Also in my son's bathroom, something was broken when taking the top of the tank off. When flushing the toilet, the water goes everywhere. I called to file the claim. The representative was very professional and courteous. He answered my questions, put in the claim, and All American Plumbing and Rooter Services came out quickly so I was very pleased with that. The contractor fixed the bathrooms.

    The tech sent by Mr. Service, AHS's contractor, knew what he was doing. Our problem was the same issue that we've had before with our refrigerator. The tech did what he could do and now, we'll see how long the fix lasts. AHS has been awesome with us in the four years we've been dealing with them. We had an issue one time with our dishwasher and they sent someone out. They sent the same guy out a second time and my husband had to call AHS and say that we needed a different company because that guy wouldn't do anything. He would just come and look. It ended up being an easy fix done by a company which knew what they were doing. AHS works with us.

    I took out American Home Shield in the year of 2016 and in fact, my next door neighbor once told me about them. I asked if she was sure then she told me how she did it. I haven’t had to use the warranty but twice. Once for my hot water tank and then for the air conditioning service. I have two air conditioners, one up and one down. With the air conditioning service (the second time I’ve had to use them), the guy just came in, went up and looked at the vents in the ceiling. He opened the vent and said that the filter in that had stuck up. He pulled it out and said if I had another filter, he'd put it in for me. If you have two units, it would be two up there and it would be checked also. I thought he was gonna pull the thing down, but that wasn’t done.

    He then went outside and said something about it had Freon in it and he had to replace something. I keep a filter for upstairs and another one for downstairs, but I asked whether or not they supplied that. If he was doing the air conditioning system and he was dealing with the filter, doesn’t he check or do that? He said there are thousands of kinds of filters and they wouldn’t know what to have. To me, if you’re coming to a home to service an air conditioner, then why don’t you ask the person what kind they have. He could have also asked the size of my filter. That way he might have a couple or either one on hand and when he comes, that might need to be replaced too. The filters cost nothing and that would be a nice service to provide. That’s what he was getting paid for and that’s why I called him.

    If I told him I didn’t have a filter, what was he gonna tell me? I'm paying my money every month in all the months, then years had gone by and I haven’t had to use the warranty. To me, the filter should be included in too. I’m a woman and I know how to look up there and find the size. I may not change it because I can’t reach up there, but when my son comes through, he will change it for me if I ask him to do it. Still, I have recommended American Home Shield since I’ve had it anyway.

    The AC unit leaked all the Freon out, and American Home Shield paid for $10 per pound, but it was $45 a pound. So it ended up costing us almost $1,000 to get this fixed, but the service was good.

    There was an issue with the oven range hood. The fan motor or something was wrong with it, and there were some hinges that were not working on the door. I then made a phone call to submit my claim to American Home Shield and spoke to somebody. What typically happens is I call to file a claim and they send me a follow-up email immediately with who the person is going to be. Then that person reaches out within a day or two. Hazelett Appliance Service was the best contractor they have ever sent out. It was finally completed about a week ago because they had to order something that kept getting damaged in the shipping. But, as of now, everything is great. This home warranty company came with the house and I've been with them for three years already.

    I’ve been dealing with AHS for many years for a lot of different properties. Being able to get on their site has gotten much better. And being able to pay online is definitely a big improvement for the service fee. West End Mechanical is one of their better vendors. They had to replace my AC unit's thermostat and that was fine. However, AHS has a couple of vendors that we are not really happy with. Also, it would be nice if there was better coverage as far as HVAC systems and if there was more disclosure. We had to have a water heater replaced and the out-of-pocket was over $700.

    The air conditioner wasn’t working. The fan outside wasn’t cooling off and warm air was coming out. I called American Home Shield but nobody was on the phone so they gave me a ticket. World Class AC was supposed to go then I had to call. They gave me an appointment to get to my residence and fix the AC. I was supposed to be at home.

    The technician fixed the AC right away. He checked the cables, adjusted everything, cleaned it, and checked the Freon. He checked the flow. Sometimes, it freezes those lines. It was those wires inside the fan from the outside. He tied them up between, and it made the contact again. The AC started working right away. The guy did a good job. He was pretty friendly, very humble and helpful, too. He gave me a couple tips to help with maintaining the unit. I would like to have the same guys back again. He's a person I can trust.

    The refrigerator was starting to lose its cooling power so I submitted a claim to AHS through their website. It was fine. I’ve dealt with other home warranties but the list of vendors they used was terrible. AHS seems to have, so far, on appliances, a pretty good vendor here in the area. Plus, AHS offered a pretty good entry-level dollar amount. It was cheaper than the one I was using and I was really not happy with that company.

    We’ve had AHS several times in the past in our other houses. When we purchased our house, we got them again and we've been with them for about six months now. We picked them because we felt that they did a good job for us the last time. There was also one time when we had a claim with our air conditioner. We had a problem with the contractor that we were assigned to first. They were saying some things that I didn’t feel were proper. The guy in charge of air conditioners came in and took care of it. He said, “Nope, you’re right. That’s not what was wrong.” He brought a contractor that he was familiar with and they took care of the problem. It was resolved. On a recent claim, we had an issue with the AC and we filed a claim for it. AHS sent us A-US Air Conditioning of Texas. The AC seemed to have been repaired properly and it’s functioning properly now. We recommended AHS before and we will continue to do so.

    So far – the freezer compartment, the refrigerator itself and the icemaker – everything is working okay. I had Cooper Appliances and everything came out fine as far as they thought it was the evaporator coil. When the technician was finishing up and they did their test on it, the compressor had a problem. So they replaced the compressor. He finished a week ago yesterday and then he had to come back because there was a problem closing the freezer door on the bottom. He came back, figured out what the problem was and fixed that in a very short period of time then that was it. The service was excellent.

    The gentleman that came in here was very knowledgeable in what he was doing. He represented himself and the company as well-dressed and well-mannered and he did the work they had to do. If I was an employer, I’d hire him. I was really happy with the whole turn of events.

    I've had American Home Shield for several years and it hasn't paid off yet. I keep thinking maybe I won't have them, but then I've got some appliances that are getting old, so I decided to keep it. When my dryer ran but it wasn't drying, I was really happy that they sent Sears out. They sent them within two days and it was done. The hose that takes all the lint out had come off, so all this lint was inside of a hole in my dryer. The guy was very good. He explained what happened, and he cleaned that up. I was pleased.

    However, I tried to use American Home Shield the year before with the water heater, and they were gonna send someone out. I looked up the reviews on who they were sending out and people had complaints about him. He came out under Home Shield and said something was covered, but another wasn't, so it was going to cost extra. I didn't want him and I called Home Shield. They said to give them a couple of days and they would try to find someone else. I wasn't pleased with that. We're going out without hot water and we needed the water heater right then. A family member owns a plumbing company, and they just did the job for us.

    We live up in the mountains and it's not that far out of El Cajon, maybe 25 minutes or so, but not everybody wants to come out here. That's the problem. I would love it if I could say I know somebody here and go through them. There were a couple of times they wanted to send somebody out, and I didn't want them. I investigate and read the reviews. I don't want someone coming out and not fixing it properly or like the water heater guy.

    The past few times I called AHS, I've gotten someone who doesn't have too thick on an accent so I didn't have issues with understanding. In the past though, we called them and the person receiving was from out of the country and their accent is too thick. I couldn't understand what they were saying. Despite this issue, AHS's contractor went above and beyond with repairing our AC. Their electrician was very professional as well. Even though there wasn’t really anything wrong with the electrical, he made sure there was nothing else involved.

    We had a dryer that was squeaking and eating clothes. The tech from Professional Appliance came out and checked it, found the issue, ordered a part, was back a week later, got it fixed. He did amazing work. I was very happy with the service. American Home Shield for small stuff is fantastic. I would like to see them offer a premium package for more detailed times.

    I understand not everything got covered. But citing the section of the claim why it’s not covered doesn't do a whole lot besides irate people. Explaining why it's not covered might be a little better process. Everything was covered except getting to the valve and getting to the valve was $400. I spent two hours digging a hole in my front yard 'cause they won't pay $400.

    Our AC wasn’t working once it started getting hot. We called American Home Shield and they sent Blizzard Air. Their guy couldn’t really tell if it was working. He put in about 10 pounds of Freon and then came back on the following Tuesday to check it and sealed up some of the issues on the line. The AC unit is probably 20 feet from the house, so there’s a really long line in between the house and the AC. He knew how much they would get reimbursed and that they did charge more. And so, the second day, when he put in a little more Freon, he said, “It’s fine. We’ll cover it. No problem.” He didn’t even charge for it. The weather’s been pretty moody but on the days when it’s hot, the AC seems to be working fine. So far, so good.

    The dishwasher wouldn’t clean and I’ve been working on getting it fixed since February. I had a tech that came out who said that he was gonna order the part.

They finally got that over here, but the dishwasher guy wouldn’t put it in. I don’t think he was a plumber. Also, I was stupid and sent it back because I didn’t know I would have to pay a restocking fee.

    Finally, the parts came in and they sent somebody out to put the parts in. But that didn’t fix the issue at all. I called them back and told them I just wanted the new machine. I had to pay the restocking fee and they brought the new machine and put it in my living room.

I called them about the same time they were getting ready to call me, and they made an appointment for Monday afternoon. But then, when they realized we were senior citizens, they made it on Monday morning because of the virus thing going around, so that we would be sure not to be contaminated. They gave me instructions on how to have the area prepared for them and what we should and shouldn't do.

    They were here on time and they verified what the problem was. They were supposed to get a new water heater. They went and got a new one, came back and put it in, and by noon, they were completely done. I can't ask for a better service than that.

Once you click on that, then it’ll ask you what the problem is and then they’ll say you can put in your description. I’ve been pretty happy with their service. They do a free second opinion and they'll send another person out as long as it’s not the same problem because I had to do that once. Some repair service came out and they were saying I needed a whole new air conditioning unit, but that was not the case. So they did a second look. Another company came out and it didn’t cost me anything extra. They diagnosed the problem and it was completely covered. I didn’t have to replace anything, and the unit is still running.

    Homeowners would wanna make sure that if your air conditioner does go out, they warranty is gonna cover because there are a lot of changes to the venting systems. Otherwise, that’s a few thousand dollars by itself. But American Home Shield does cover that, so that’s good. But when you call them, their hold time is terrible. If you're on long enough, it’ll disconnect you, so you have to call back again. They should fix their customer service. But once you get a person, they're very nice to you.

And then they were able to finish into their schedule and they addressed our wants and needs very well.

    Regarding our recent claim with AHS, the refrigerator was replaced because the technician couldn’t get a part for it. And I really appreciate American Home Shield for that. For the dishwasher, the contractor said that he replaced something. But for whatever reason, I’ve been trying to change detergents, trying to see if that would help, but it hasn’t been getting my dishes clean. That was my complaint at first. And now, it’s worse. He said he’s coming back today. I heard from him today and he said he’d be back to try to clean the dishwasher and see if that would help because I’m seeing stuff on the dishes after I wash it that had nothing to do with anything that I know about before. But I’m really pleased with everything that’s happened in the past couple of weeks. I feel like he’s doing as well as he can. I don't have any complaints about him because he seems very thorough and knowledgeable.

    The only issue I have had, I was on hold for about an hour last week. But I understand. We got a lot of stuff going on in the world, unfortunately. And when I finally talked to the lady in the replacement center, she was so nice, pleasant and accommodating. I almost forgot about how much time I had waited. She was very good.

    Bear Plumbing & Rooter had been out recently and fixed a leak in the toilet in February. They said that it had been repaired. But it was not. And so, they came back out March, and they inspected and told me what they thought was the problem now was actually a leak within the wall, within the pipe. In this last particular instance, American Home Shield did not pay. They said that the leak was outside the contract and so they did not pay.

    But their service usually is very good. I had one dispute over the course of my contract regarding faucets that were supposed to be repaired. And when the plumber arrived, they said that they only had one faucet identified. On the work order, it actually said faucets. But other than that, certainly, AHS responds rapidly, effectively and efficiently to a request for service. And usually, they make contact right away with the vendor, and the vendor responds quickly and efficiently to the service call. So, you’re able to get the service that you are requesting.

    I had a leak in the toilet and the leaking was going below the toilet like it was pooling in. It was leaking through the walls and through the ceiling coming down to my basement. AHS sent out A 3 Aces and the guy from there was awesome. I would highly recommend him if we ever have plumbing issues. He was on time and checked everything water-related in our house and made sure there is nothing wrong with that. He did everything even if he didn’t need to. We tore down the drywall and everything. Most contractors would just leave the drywall behind on the floor. He cleaned up which was unusual. You don’t see a contractor cleaning up their mess. They just leave it behind. The guy was very responsible.

    The guy probably spent an hour and a half or so looking around and trying to figure out what was wrong. He finally figured out that it was actually the shut-off valve leaking and it was leaking underneath the linoleum. It had been leaking through the basement for at least two years and we didn’t know it. It had been going through the walls and it finally got to the point where the toilet was kinda leaning and everything.

    We’re gonna have to have a person come out and replace the floor around the toilet. We also need to replace the drywall which the tech had to rip off to get to the leak to figure out what was wrong with it. Once all this Coronavirus gets over with, we can have a contractor in there to fix that kinda stuff. We can’t have anybody come in to do it because they don’t feel comfortable coming to our house because of the Coronavirus. We’re gonna have to wait probably at least six weeks or so before we get it fixed.

    AHS is a good deal but a lot of things need to be explained. If you have a tech come in and they serviced some other product in your home while they were there and something occurs to that extra service they provided, it won’t be covered under the initial service that he came to work on. When my dryer blew a fuse, someone from Sears came the day after I submitted my claim. It was the same tech and he was like a neighbor. A bunch of my friends that I introduced to AHS was having a lot of problems with paying out a lot of money. I said that they were all homeowners and they needed to get AHS.

    Some of the reps that I talked to when we had the problem with our air conditioning unit on the outside were very snippy. It didn’t seem like there was a sense of urgency. We were without any air for almost three weeks in August and had to have windows and everything opened. It really messed up everybody’s allergies and Home Shield didn’t seem to care. We called the company that installed the outside unit and had them take a look at it. They hid off a couple of parts in there with some kind of a special wrap, so it wouldn’t cause any further damage to the unit. The people from Home Shield and the company that they sent out made it seem like it was tampered with, like the homeowner did something illegal to it. It was a whole big mess. It was determined that they weren’t gonna do anything. They were just dragging their feet. It wasn’t the Home Shield that we knew and we’ve been with them a long time.

    My dishwasher claim is probably the best experience I've had this year, and 2019. BA Distributing came out to fix my dishwasher. They were very nice and it was handled very well and quickly. But I was thinking about upgrading my dishwasher. The Home Shield person that was out to fix my dishwasher didn’t notice that the hose was entirely too long. It was crinkled up and it was causing the water not to flow out. So about every three months, I gotta call somebody out here and service this dishwasher.

    I had it set up and I wanted to get a new one, so I asked Home Shield how much would they pay on a new dishwasher so I can know what I’m up against. The rep said they couldn’t tell me that. They used to tell their customers what they would pay but the rep said they don’t do that anymore. We can’t know the prices that they get from their suppliers or contractors. She was kinda snippy like I was getting on her nerves wasting her time. Home Shield has some people in there that don’t know how to talk to people.

One of the bolts was too loose because it was still leaking from the same bolt area and it needed to be tightened, so they had to come out and re-fix it again. They were good. However, American Home does the halfway point and their credit system needs some assistance. Since then, I had to call about five times because they kept charging me for the second visit and told me I owed money even though they said that the revisit wasn’t going to be charged.

One said the compressor needed to be replaced. Another one said my whole internal needed to be replaced. They gave me different things, outrageous prices that weren't covered on my home warranty.

So, they had to reorder it, which took another week. And then, when they came in to install it, on the first day after it was installed, it ran cold right after they left.

Also, AHS should have more operators 'cause sometimes it takes forever to be on hold with them. Recently, a piece of the furnace needed to be replaced.

    Water kept leaking in our home where we kept getting all these pipes that we had to keep fixing and it just got overwhelming. My husband looked into our insurance and called a plumber. They came out but we end up having to pay them $595 for the service because they said that we didn’t have a water regulator. They had to install one. American Home Shield charged us $100 for the services. They were supposed to refund us the money back because it was not like they actually did any work. The plumber came out and did the work so we paid him. We haven’t gotten the reimbursement back yet.

    A lot of the parts are not covered with American Home Shield. I started out at $45 with them and after a year, they were charging me $55. And I don’t call a lot. I called one time for my air conditioning and the plumbing was the second time. Any time that I called them out for something, the parts were never covered. They don’t cover the parts that need to be covered like a coil and another part for my air conditioner. I had to pay $595. I’m paying for this insurance every month but every time techs come out, if I do have any issue, I’m still coming out of my pocket with $500 to $700. I would tell homeowners that they have to be very careful because American Home Shield doesn't cover the little parts. It’s like you’re paying for years and you don’t use the service but when you do, they’re not covering the parts needed. I wouldn’t recommend AHS to anybody.

    I like both AHS' methods of making claims. It makes it convenient to have the options. They sent out J&A Appliance Repair for a claim and the guy from there was very nice and professional. He checked out the entire washer and was trying to look around to see if there was anything that he could do to fix it. He checked out the drum. It worked out really great. With the damage that was done to the washer, he said that the unit was more likely needing to be replaced. AHS is great but I wish they would cover TV and electronics.

    The refrigerator stopped refrigerating and a fellow showed up, opened the back of the refrigerator and found a plug connection that had somehow fallen out for reasons unknown and the compressor wouldn’t run. He quickly plugged that back together and lo and behold, the thing started cooling again. He managed to fix it in a very short period of time. He was friendly and knowledgeable too. He got right to it and did all the usual things, including removing issues and laying out protection for our stuff while he worked and cleaned up after himself.

    We’ve seen servicemen come before and they’ve done this sort of thing, and he did a very professional job. He was timely too. We didn’t have to wait forever. When we called in for the service, it sounded like we were going to be without refrigeration for several days. I called directly to make an appointment and they said they wished that American Home Shield wouldn’t make appointments for them. Anyway, the contracting company got somebody out the next day and now, it's working fine. We used to have Sears Home Warranty and they were constantly trying to pair us up with people that weren’t very responsive. We lucked out a couple of times, but I had to make phone calls to get things to happen, and American Home Shield works better.

    One of the service people that came out was also a subcontractor from American Home Shield. He liked them a lot better, so we took his advice and decided okay. I carried a duplicate coverage for a month then we dropped Sears and we’ve been happy with American Home Shield, so far. They've only had to service our stuff once but they did it fine and efficiently. They got the job done and we really appreciate them. We’ve told some of our family members about the problems with Sears home insurance and that we had gone with American Home Shield and we liked it better. It’s certainly a better price. We’re paying less to get a higher deductible.

    We’ve had American Home Shield for about 10 years on and off, for the last three houses. Submitting claims is very easy, online or if I'm not available at my computer. I've done it a couple of times over the phone and that's been efficient. The contractor calls within 24 hours to schedule. The other week, Immediate Response Plumbing & Rooter had to adjust to when we would be available. But it's not more than a couple of days. They were very professional. There was a second visit required and they scheduled it immediately. They practiced social distancing too which we really appreciated. It was all around great service. I've been 100% satisfied with American Home Shield overall.

    A-US Air Conditioning of Texas came out three times for our recent claim with AHS. The first one, I received a text message on Thursday, the 12th, saying that there was a contractor assigned to our request. He called us Friday to let us know he’d be on Monday. And so, he came in Monday, the 16th. But, since it was frozen over, he had to wait for it to defrost, so he came back Tuesday, and that’s when he added the Freon. American Home Shield covers $10 worth and so we paid $140 out of our pocket.

    But, the next day, again it was not working, and we checked to see if it was frozen over, and it was, so we called it in. But we made sure to get it to defrost by turning on the heater. That’s what he told us to do. So, we got a service contractor assigned and he came Wednesday and he said there was a leak, something was loose that he had to tighten up. But then, again, 24 hours later, it was not working.

    So, Tuesday, the 31st, someone was assigned. So, Wednesday, the 1st, the same company came, but we asked for someone else to come because those two times, it was the same contractor. We requested another contractor to have a fresh set of eyes ‘cause obviously he was overlooking something. A gentleman came by on Wednesday and he said that the conductor was burnt out, so he had to replace that. And it was a piece that was outside and he said that that was something that the first contractor should’ve caught. Since then, it's been fine and it's been cooling. Everything is working like it should be. We haven’t had any issues. I'm not satisfied though. The last contractor fixed it, which should have been fixed the first time. So, if I would have had that experience the first time, I would be satisfied. But because I had to have this same company come out three different times, I’m dissatisfied.

    We got a text message before the person was gonna be there and the technician came in on time. He was professional and nice. He pointed out that we had two different brands of locks in the house, and I didn’t know that. He gave us a couple of solutions to some literal key issues that we had had in the house too. We got some advice about how we could fix a security situation and it was very helpful. However, we were mistaken on the type of service that was gonna be taking place the day he was there to change the mechanism in the lock. It deals with the key, and we thought he was taking the whole apparatus out and replacing it with a double-sided deadbolt, one that takes keys on both sides. After discussing it with him and the company, we realized that was our mistake.

    We’ve never had a rekey done before and I didn’t know what that meant when we requested the service. Had there been some explanation of what exactly that service would be, then we probably would’ve gone a different direction to save everybody a bit of time and money. Still, American Home Shield was able to make an exception in our policy and refunded our money. They went above and beyond. It was a good experience.

    The garage door mechanism wasn't working so I filed a claim to AHS over the telephone. They gave a four-hour window to expect the contractors and they met it. Sam's Garage Doors came and they did their job. They were excellent. We've been using AHS on and off for 18 years between my last two houses. But I've had multiple problems with them over the last couple of years. Many of the vendors they've sent out just look for reasons to say the warranty doesn't apply. 30% of them are good and 70% of them are 1-star companies. I've disputed twice and had AHS send somebody else. I made the request that it has to be 3 stars or higher on a Yelp or whatever review but we can't pick our contractor. The home warranty has contractors that they work with.

    One time, the air conditioning wasn't working and the vendor said they thought I have a blockage in my wall and that they need me to tear the walls open for them to see. I had a private guy come out and fix the problem in five minutes. They made it unappealing for them to do the work so they could not have to fix the problem and not honor the warranty. AHS has taken care of some problems but if there was another decent company out there, we'd use another decent company.

So, with having old appliances, old electricity, old plumbing, all those kinds of things, having Home Shield was like having car insurance or other kind of insurance. Smart Tech Appliance recently came out for the refrigerator. The tech looked at it, listened to it, and inspected it. He was prompt, courteous, clean, and very thorough.

    I had a problem with the refrigerator, and I couldn’t get my previous home warranty company to answer their phone. They put me on hold for hours. I contacted their home office in Florida and finally got the problem taken care of. But after that experience, I decided to go with somebody else and AHS was it. I’m happy with AHS. They have always been very prompt and they’ve done their job very well. I do have a problem trying to get ahold of them once in a while and that’s because if I go online, for some reason, it won’t accept my member number or my zip code. Normally, I am put on hold for 10 or 15 minutes when I call them. Then they get online, I tell them what my problem is and they take care of it.

    We had a refrigerator ice machine that decided not to work. AHS sent someone out promptly, within a couple of days. The tech checked it out and said they'd order the part and they'd get back to me. They finally came back with the part and installed it but it didn’t fix the problem. They notified AHS that they had fixed the problem when they hadn’t. I called AHS directly that time and told them to get me another repair company and they did. The repair company came out and immediately solved the problem. By opening the door to the freezer, after a while, it caused the wires to the ice machine to separate so they put those wires back together. It worked fine for about 6 months, then it did the same thing again. I called them back and they came back and redid what they had done before and put the wiring back together. Since then, it hasn’t happened again.

    Except for that first contractor that put in the 2 parts and really didn’t accomplish anything, in most cases, whoever AHS assigned to do the work has done a very god job. The last contractor was Swift Electric and they checked thoroughly because of water leaking on the floor underneath the refrigerator, but it doesn’t do it all the time. I called my favorite plumber first which is Graham Plumbing in Katy, Texas. AHS might want to put them on their list ‘cause they’re outstanding. They came out and checked the back of the refrigerator for the waterline making sure everything was good there. They could not find any problem with the waterline to the icemaker. They said there is a pan underneath the refrigerator that appeared to have had water in it, but it had dried up. They said it has nothing to do with the actual plumbing, so we had to get an appliance company.

    Swift checked the very same thing. They agreed with Graham Plumbing that it wasn’t the waterline to the icemaker, and that there was a pan underneath the refrigerator, but they couldn’t tell that it was leaking. They ran some water through the water dispenser and said take a picture if the water started showing up on the floor again. About a day later, there was water on the floor. I took a picture of it and I sent it to them. They called me and said they were going to replace the pan, and that’s the last I've heard of them. They’re ordering that part and they will be calling me, then they'll come out and replace the pan.

    Kintex Plumbing came out to take a look at our plumbing issue. They diagnosed the problem. It took a week for them to get a part, which is way too long. I had to follow up with them several times to make sure that the part was even ordered ‘cause I didn’t understand why it would take so long for them to receive the part. They came out a week later, replaced the drain line and it still leaks, but I don’t wanna pay another $100 for them to come out and fix it.

    My largest dislike for American Home Shield is they seem to work with vendors that don’t take American Home Shield clients as a priority. And the vendors do a lot of band-aiding and not fixing. For instance, I’ve had three different vendors over the course of 12 months come out to my home six times for my AC. It happened three times last year. They did an AC maintenance and then the maintenance identified that there was a problem. So, I gotta pay for the maintenance and then they identified the problem but they couldn’t fix the problem.

    Now I gotta pay for somebody to come out and fix the problem. I paid for somebody to come and fix the problem, then they didn’t fix the problem. They came back out to fix the problem and they still didn’t fix the problem only for American Home Shield to send another vendor to my house a couple of months later to fix the problem that the first and the second guy could have very easily fixed, only for this year, right time for the AC to start again, the same problem that I had that was identified last year is the problem this year only to find out that I needed a new evaporation coil, which the vendor this year said, I probably needed it last year. But it was never identified.

    American Home Shield covers evaporation coil but they don’t cover the primary or the secondary floating device, so that’s $300. They don’t cover the drain pan, so that’s another $200. So, now I’m $500. They only cover $10 for the refrigerant and I need 12 pounds of refrigerant and the refrigerant is $40 a pound, so that’s $360 that I have to pay and there’s no way for me to know if they’ve actually put 12 pounds of refrigerant in my system or not. Because the guy who came in to put in the motherboard who was different than the guy who came in to put in the evaporator coil who was different than the first guy that came out and said that my unit might hold 12 pounds but it’s generally somewhere between 10 to 12 pounds because that’s his years of experience. I was like, I didn’t pay for 10 to 12 pounds. I paid for 12 pounds.

    Once they identified the evaporation coil needed to be fixed, they ordered the evaporation coil, came back out to insert in the evaporation coil only to find that the motherboard for the furnace didn’t work. So, they had to reorder another motherboard for the furnace. However, the motherboard for the furnace was replaced by the vendor last year.

    Big Country came out to fix my ice maker. I called them, they explained that I wasn’t a priority, so it took them almost two weeks to come out just to fix my ice maker. They installed what looked like a new ice maker ‘cause it came in a box and it was all nice only for that ice maker to break a day after they installed it. And I had to wait until this morning to call them and say, “the ice maker that you installed broke. Y’all need to come and fix it.” And now I’m gonna have to wait a week for them to come back and fix it. And they couldn’t explain to me why a supposedly new ice maker broke.

    Submitting the claim for the hood over my stove was easy. I just went online and wrote in what was wrong. They then said, “Okay. Call this number.” I called the number and made an appointment. Star Services came out when they said they were gonna come out and looked at it. There are two breakers in there and they said that both were bad. They had to replace it. They said to give them a couple of days and that they had to order the part.

    I got an email showing me that they ordered the part. It was easy and simple. And then when it came in, they called me and said that the parts were and that they were gonna come out. They called on a Friday and the earliest they could come out was Monday. They then came out and put it in. I know my policy is up soon and I’m not gonna renew it because we're selling the house and going into a rental. We’re having a house built, so I probably won’t have one there for however long the home warranty is for, but after that, I’ll probably get another one.

    I have a water heater that is leaking. Have been chasing them since 10 days now and rolling as a ball between contractor and AHS. No solution till date. Contractor assigned is low in rating but super high on prices when it comes to out of pocket items. The contractor charges you much more than what you will pay outside. Few items which can be reused are not being reused as the contractor wants to get more of the work order. Unnecessary items are put on the out of pocket. Heater cost is $700 but the out of pocket accessories pricing of the contractor is $1000. You cannot refuse or negotiate with the contractor on these things as he know you are stuck. :( You are stuck in-between. Cash outs pay for item but not for labor. Makes me think I am caught in a warranty scam as it is not worth it....

    It took a while for me to get somebody out here. From the beginning, I was having a hard time because I couldn’t get an answer and Home Shield was just apologizing and apologizing. I couldn’t get through and they would move the call and nobody would call me back. So, when the issue started in January, I didn’t have a good experience. I know at first Home Shield didn’t have any contractor for Galt that’s why it took so long. I was getting somebody from different areas, like from Sacramento, and I was almost two months without a dryer and then without having somebody to follow-up or call me. I had to call several times and they couldn’t give me an answer, and I was just on hold. It’s the same issue that I’ve been having with my dryer, and so it was never corrected.

    I took pictures of the service that I received with Galloway and I reached out to their manager and sent them pictures of how they left my dryer because they put it back together and the felt was all inside the dryer. The guy apologized, but said, “You have the time to look through American Home Shield. I can’t do anything about it now.” But I let him know and I decided aside from the warranty, that’s what kind of service we’re receiving from the contractors. So, he was like, “Thanks for letting me know, but you have to contact their warranty.” And then we went on to another contractor and then the last was L & S.

    Now this last experience I’ve had with L & S was good. They came out right away, and because they’re local, they came that same day. They saw other issues that were happening from the prior techs. This last service I had, I had already paid my $100 deductible and then the time elapsed so Home Shield made me have another deductible of a $100 and I told them I never had the issue solved. So, they ended up giving me a credit for the 100. They credited me back the 100 so I only had the first deductible. We’ve had the same dyer for several years and it has worked fine. But it’s taken care of right now.

    When we got our house last year, we got American Home Shield because it was an older house and we wanted to make sure that everything was okay. We then went ahead and paid for it again this year because we thought that it was the safe thing to do. Even though we bought some newer appliances, we still wanted to make sure that we had some kind of coverage. I’ve also recommend it to a lot of people who are buying homes that are older and even newer homes because you never know.

    Recently, some water backed up downstairs in our basement and Prestige Plumbing and Air used a Roto-Rooter thing and went down the pipes all the way out to the sewer. They cleaned it out and we haven’t had any problems since they’ve been out here. One of the guys that was there was the one who came out last year. They were both really nice and they did a good job. They said it must have been something small because it wasn’t a great big mass of anything and it didn’t flood the whole basement. It just got one section where it was coming up out of the drain. There’s a drain down there.

    I'm definitely being able to utilize what I've been paying AHS for every month ‘cause I have had a lot of things that kinda breakdown and shutdown on me now. I'm still not understanding the monthly payment to have the service, and then the additional deductible on top of that. But I do it ‘cause I need it done. A lot of times, knowing I have the warranty, I'll try to see if I have a neighbor or a friend or somebody that can fix something for me or if they can. I don’t let them touch it, I just ask them if they can because I'm just a little hesitant sometimes when I don’t have the $100 and then it's maybe something simple. For example, I might think it's an electrical issue when it's really the bulb might be burnt out, something simple like that, and it's like I would be paying $100 just for somebody to come in and change the light bulb. That’s why I'm sometimes hesitant.

    I like the fact that I have the warranty, especially for the instance I had with the garbage disposal. Whoever touched it last must have broken the reset button. They said, “It's like $300 and something that you'd pay.” But I know in the case if it was something covered, I wouldn’t have to pay the $300 out-of-pocket. It comes in handy in that aspect.

    Atlas came out to do the dryer. It wasn’t heating at that time and wasn’t working. They had to come out on three separate occasions. The first tech that originally did it took two days to come. That was quick. The only thing that was longest was when I had to wait on the actual part. But once the part came in, they scheduled me the next day. The second time when the tech came to actually install it, it was fine. It was just that it started heating and then it kinda stopped heating. I told him about some other things, but I got a little sense that they were trying to brush me off. I ended up calling the actual office itself and talking to someone to have them do what had to be done, and then they just recommended that they were gonna send a senior technician because it’s an electrical issue. As of right now, the dryer is running fine.

    The technician that came out for our appliance issue was very professional and very skilled. He looked at the problem and within 20 minutes was able to diagnose it and then another 15 minutes to repair it. The repair was quick. He fixed it with a metal tape. The heat from the dishwasher worked the box that the relay sits in, so it was not lining up and it caused the dishwasher not to work. But he said he was familiar with it and he’d done it several times and it shouldn’t be a problem anymore, and he was right. I expressed this to the person that I called at AHS. I paid the $75 visit fee, however, this is the third time for the dishwasher. $75 times 3 is $225. A brand-new dishwasher is 295. If it should break again, I don’t even know if I would even call it in.

    For my airconditioning, AHS didn't pay to replace that either. We identified that the air conditioning needed to be replaced but it broke down at the time that I didn’t wanna look at the purchase price versus having them repair it over and over again. But the repairs up to the replacement of the air conditioner were done well. I'm not worried about the air conditioning and the HVAC anymore. The only thing that I would be worried about is the appliances. I pay my account by the year, so all I've done is I bought another year’s worth of low-cost repairs, for the 700 and some dollars. I haven't benefitted from it other than the repairs and $700 is a lot to pay for on just repairs. We definitely will not recommend AHS.

    We’ve had American Home Shield since we moved in the house in 2015. Our Realtor bought it for us and paid for a year's membership as a gift. Unfortunately, we didn’t even realize we had it in the first year, not that we had any issues. Somehow or another, we found out about it after having it for a year. The second year, Home Shield contacted my husband and asked him if he wanted to renew. After looking into it, we decided to keep it and one of the main reasons is because the house we purchased is an older house. It was built in the late 80s and the things that the warranty covered were things that we were concerned about. Plus, the fees for them to come out is only $100 and it covers a huge portion of things.

    We made a claim for an AC unit and everything was great. In the beginning, Cool Factory had an issue trying to make contact with us and when I saw that message when I logged in to American Home Shield, I called them. Because they weren’t open on Saturday or Sunday, they called me back that Monday morning. The guy communicated everything with us and once he got here, he was able to fix the problem.

    For the most part talking to AHS customer service reps is fine. When the hot water heater wasn’t working the technician did his work, polite, efficient, and he found the problem. The control valve on the hot water heater was out, and he had to replace it. Another claim was for my refrigerator. We paid $4,000 for it a couple of years ago, and it won’t make ice. We’re on the seventh different technician that came out. It’s been going on since October. The second to the last guy that came out two weeks ago put in a whole new icemaker. It didn’t even make one load of ice and it quit. Now, the next guy that came out said they will replace the whole door. I told the guy that if that doesn’t work, I’m going to ask for a new refrigerator.

    I had a claim with American Home Shield for the ice maker on the refrigerator. They have a very easy process. Everything went great. Ice was freezing between the ice maker on the door and the ice container inside the freezer. Whirlpool came out and they took a look at it and the tech determined right away what the issue was. The piece that keeps the hot air from going into the freezer was broken. So, they ordered the part, and he came back out and fixed it. I haven’t had any issues with it since.

    The tech was on time, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He did say that the issue was not something that you would have kinda known unless you’re familiar with the type of refrigerator or you got the years of experience. So, any other technician probably would have been unable to fix it. They wouldn’t have known what the part to order for it and it would have just ended up being a full replacement. So, he was able to avoid that happening due to his industry knowledge, and he was able to order the right part and fixed it right away.

    We put in a request for the washing machine and dryer and Appliance Repair Service came out and repaired it. But after about a day, the washing machine still wouldn't work so they came back out and fixed the washing machine again. We’ve had American Home Shield for about nine years and when we originally got it, it was excellent. But in the past couple of years, it seems like it is getting a whole lot more difficult for contractors to come out and fix stuff the first time. People had to keep coming back.

    When the air conditioning unit went out before, technicians would come out and everything was covered under the service charge. But then American Home Shield started adding stuff for the Freon. So that has changed over the years. Another thing is that before, we would pay the service charge and then the people would come out and fix whatever it was. Over the last three years, the people would come out and look at the issue but then they would have to call back and get permission from American Home Shield to say what’s covered and what’s not covered.

    The furnace wouldn't keep on. I filed the claim over the phone and the lady told me somebody would call. Airmax Heating and Cooling called right away and scheduled an appointment. They were great. They were in and out and polite enough that they knocked on the door. Everything was good.

    The contractor that came to fix our AC was good and personable. They worked on it. They did have to send a second person out the next day. They wound up being here three days in a row. The first day, the damper motor that they had on the truck, when he went to put it in, it wasn't operating. So, he had to come back the next day and got that in, got that installed, but there was something amiss with how the dampers and the thermostats were working. And so, the guy came out the next day and tracked down what the issue was. There was some mislabeling from the previous installation.

    Submitting claims online to AHS was fairly easy with this exception. I have also called because there was an issue with the microwave and the refrigerator. And so, the one with the air damper motor not working and needed to be replaced, that was the single order that worked. The microwave and the refrigerator, I wanted to make those at the same time. I went online and I did the one, and the questions was, "Do you have another?" And I went, "Yes." So, I had to call in to do that one. And I was on hold for half an hour. What I ended up was the next day, I just went back online and set up the other order. I should have been able to do that on my first time, not have to go and be put on hold waiting for somebody to come on asking for the second one.

    I checked one other company and they didn’t offer the same protection. Also, I asked a neighborhood group if they had any recommendations and they recommended Home Shield. The dryer wasn’t running. It would turn on, but nothing would happen. I submitted a claim online and got the reply very quick on who would come out, and then I got a call very quickly from A & L Appliance Repair. Their service was great. The warranty made me more comfortable knowing that I didn’t have to worry about several thousand-dollar repair bills.

    I got two ACs. The first time I submitted a claim to AHS, I did it over the phone. I submitted for the two of them but then I had to cancel it because it wasn’t the right thing. The second time, I just submitted it online ‘cause it was faster and easier but it only let me submit for one. The guy that came was cool. He did really well. He even happened to look at the other one to let us know what we needed to do to it.

    Having a home warranty is important. If you don’t have it and something breaks down, you’re looking at mucho dinero out of your pocketbook. Being able to access everything online with AHS works great for me. When Elite Renovations had to replace my garbage disposal, it went really well. They were in and out in about 20 minutes. They came in, checked the garbage disposal and were out. The contractor was a very professional gentleman and nice.
