    I submitted a claim because my whirlpool washer wasn’t working. I got an email from American Home Shield saying it’s been assigned to Whirlpool, Wisconsin. I called the number they gave me for Whirlpool and they said they didn’t have anything from AHS. So I called AHS and they said they’ll send another request to Whirlpool. I called Whirlpool and said they didn’t have anything. I called AHS and they said to try Sears.

    Sears came out and they said the machine was 20 years old and the parts are unavailable. They don’t make these parts anymore. They said they will let AHS know but they will probably tell us to get a new washer or give a buyout.

    Then we got an email from Sears which said that the parts have been ordered. I called AHS and they said Sears was still looking. But I was told there are no parts available. So to this day, I still don’t have a washing machine that works. A month went by and finally, AHS said Sears can’t find the parts. They finally told us to go to Lowe’s and buy a washing machine. The tech was great but it was a frustrating experience.

    Two guys came out because my dishwasher had stopped working. They were great. The issue had to do with the breaker inside the dishwasher. They said something was wrong with the circuit board. They fixed that and got my dishwasher working. I really can't complain about American Home Shield. It's just sometimes you need things done ASAP. But it's slow. My wife complains about how quickly the tech guys come out. On the other hand, I'm very patient. As long as the job gets done, I don't care about anything. The other thing with American Home Shield is when talking to other folks, sometimes I can't understand what they're saying. That's hard.

    I had my first claim with American Home Shield, and it was horrible. My blower motor went bad on my furnace. They have the technician come out. I paid the $125 service fee. The technician said it was a bad blower motor, bad heat strips, and bad something else. I don't know what the other one was, and this was due to a power surge, they said. I'm an electrical contractor. I own my own electrical business. So, I know 100% that it was not a power surge, because I diagnose things like that. When I call them back and explain that it wasn't a power surge, because my claim got denied. They sent another technician from a different business. I explained to him what happened and what's going on here. He says, I can't diagnose a power surge. I wasn't here when it happened. He told me that he was absolutely not putting in the report that it was due to a power surge. It was just a failed part that he was gonna put in there, and I agree.
    We have surge protectors and whole-home surge protection. It doesn't just take out one small thing in a unit. There would have been other things that shown power surge. We over-surged something, not just one blower motor in a furnace.

    The problem happened internally in the unit. But they denied it, denied it, denied it, denied it. So, I ended up going and buying the $600 part and fixing it myself. That was yesterday. It was hot, and I was mad.

    We had an AC problem, so I called the Home Shield warranty. They’re sending a technician to our property. The technician said the condenser and cooling system were damaged and that the whole unit needs to be replaced.

    Then Home Shield called and said I’d have to pay $4,500 out of my own pocket. They explained which items weren’t covered, and I told them I’m not paying $4,500 until I know how to handle a cash-out for the AC unit.

    I told Home Shield that I have a tenant with a medical issue and needs cool air in the house. Still, there was a problem. They put a portable AC in his house, but they were supposed to call me to let me know how much they would give me for a cash-out on the unit. They were supposed to call Monday or Tuesday, but still nobody called me. It’s been a very bad experience.

    I've been with American Home Shield for quite some time. I had issues in the beginning when I first signed up, but I think things are improving and I haven't had any complaints. They had a contractor come out because my bathtub faucet wasn't turning off. It was some type of valve that needed to be replaced. The contractor was polite, quick, and straightforward. He came in, swapped it out, and then he left. It took 10 minutes. Everything's working fine now.

    My fridge stopped working completely, both the freezer and the top portion of it. Filing the claim with American Home Shield is really easy. Getting someone to come to fix it, usually, takes a few days. Luckily, we have a backup fridge. Otherwise, we won’t have a fridge for about a week and a half. The technician sent by American Home Shield was very nice. He identified the problem right away, and came back in four days because he had to wait for the part to arrive. He fixed it, and it's been working okay since then.

    The technician sent out by American Home Shield was friendly and discussed everything that he could do. We had a claim for our refrigerator with an ice box issue, and he basically duct taped the seal around it. He said it was more of an issue with the manufacturer and how the fridge was designed versus what he could do to improve it. The fridge is working now, so it’s okay.

    We had a previous claim for a bathroom bathtub water control valve that was stuck in the on position and we couldn’t turn it off. They couldn’t find the missing part, so they said they were unable to cover it under warranty. We got no service from the individual that was covered by the warranty, and we had to pay out of pocket.

    I filed a claim with American Home Shield. The tub on the second floor is leaking, and there's water coming through the ceiling. More Than Plumbing came out, and the technician was great.

    The problem can't be resolved on the same day because it's a renovation before I moved in. There are two options, you can either put a hole in the ceiling to see where it's coming from or bust a hole in the tile to see where the plumbing is and check for leaks.

    But it would take a lot of damage to do it. And I don't want somebody just tearing a hole in my ceiling, only to tell me that American Home Shield wasn't gonna even cover or pay for it. They normally want to charge and tell you that they're gonna do anything.

    It’s a lot of money to pay $200 to find out whether or not they’re gonna fix it. So, at this point, I'm just gonna wait and get a second opinion to see what needs to be done, and possibly communicate the information to them.

    It's a little upsetting. I pay every month, and I have a couple of properties with a warranty under their company. I felt like I was left alone. This happened last Tuesday when I had them come in to look at it. And I haven't heard anything for five days.

    I don't know what happened. But for some reason, I have automatic deductions to pay for the monthly warranty. So, I had to go online and go through the same process. But then they were telling me that my warranty had expired.

    Well, they had canceled it until I made the payment. But I got automatic pay. So, it's like they're not trying to work with me.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield for 23 years. They’ve been there every time I’ve needed them. Recently, I had an issue with my AC unit, and it took three visits from the vendor to identify the problem. They kept going back and saying that it was fixed, and I kept telling them that it wasn’t. The last person happened to have more experience and figured out that it wasn't the AC but the breaker. He showed us it was old and cracked, and then he put in a recommendation to have it fixed. It took three weeks for that to be resolved, but when it was fixed, it was fixed.

    Now it’s still not fully resolved because the breaker started to smell like something burning, like plastic. When I opened the breaker box, the breaker he replaced was warm, so we had to shut it down. I had to call American Home Shield to let them know that it wasn't fixed, and they assigned me back to the same people, which is fine. However, they said they couldn’t get to us until Monday, but I live in Houston, and it was almost 100 degrees that day. The breaker box probably would have caught fire had we not caught that. I thought it was a danger and expected it to be expedited. Maybe they will get somebody out here the same day, and if they can’t, they will give me another vendor. That's kind of a big deal. We don't know why it's melting plastic on the inside, and we could go to sleep and wake up in flames.

    I spoke to a young lady on the phone, but she didn’t understand the urgency. It took a long time for me to explain, because she thought it was the AC, but it wasn’t. It's the breaker switch, and the AC was running fine. After I emailed the vendor asking for someone to come sooner, they said they try to get somebody out here on Saturday. I wish it were faster than that. I know they have several vendors, so I don't understand why it just couldn't go to somebody else who could get out here and have the available time to come and fix this.

    My issue is more with some of the representatives and the vendors than with American Home Shield itself. If it were my dishwasher, it wouldn't have been a problem, but this is electrical and could start a fire. I don't think that they understood the urgency of it for me.

    When I first started with American Home Shield, I paid $27 a month, but now I’m paying $110. I do wish the price wouldn’t keep going up every year. Using their online service is easy since I’m tech-savvy. It's only when I have an issue that I call in because I don't feel like going through all of that, trying to put it in through the portal.

    Sometimes, I wish they are faster, but it has been okay. They try to treat me with courtesy, but when you have appliances broken in your house, you want it fixed fast, and a lot of times, it is not fixed. Recently, Residential Heating and Air Conditioning came out and took care of me quickly, but I still had to pay a large bill.

    They have a different process now on how they acquire parts, and it used to be where when you make a claim to American Home Shield and they would assign you a vendor. The vendor will come to your house, assess the damages, and then use their inventory to repair the said damage and bill American Home Shield. It is not like that anymore.

    So, what they do now is that the tech will come out and inspect your property, identify the part that is broken, and they will send that to American Home Shield. American Home Shield will then source that part from their own supply distribution center and send it to the vendor. And then when the vendor gets it, they have to check it, make sure it works. Then, they schedule to come out and check your house out.

    For me, it took over a week for American Home Shield to send the evaporator coils to Residential Heating and Air for them to then schedule to come back out to my house to fix it. But in the old way, it would have just been able to fix it when they came out the first time during the inspection. So, when that happened, I still had to pay the $100 service fee. And then they said I owed another almost $1,500. I thought that was wild.

    They just covered the part and then some minor stuff within the repair. But I had to pay $1,477 to Residential Heating and Air for them to replace the evaporator coil, do the little Freon thing, check the system, clean it and leave. I thought that was bad.

    American Home Shield is only beneficial if you are making claims. So, if you are not making claims, you are paying like $1,400 a year for nothing. Then when you make a claim, need it, and then you have all these out-of-pocket expenses. So, why don’t you just take your monthly payment and put it in a emergency fund, and then go to it as required? That’s almost where I’m at. I have been with them for 15 years now and I do like them, but this last experience was very painful. And it is almost like I’m being penalized for making a claim, which I’m not that cool.

    The cable that makes the garage door go up and down broke. The contractor was nice. But they could have communicated better on arrival time. I took the day off work because they were gonna come between noon and 4:00. But they didn't show up until 4:35. If they would have communicated with me, I wouldn't have had to take the day off work. But the contractor is the one that didn't communicate, not American Home Shield. They're always fine over the phone.

    The contractor has this fancy automated service to say the contractor's gonna come between this time and this time. But what they really need to do is say the contractor’s at the job before yours. You would know if he's at the job before yours, you need to go home from work. Even if the job goes long, you at least aren't waiting all day.

    I called American Home Shield for my sink in the kitchen. It was backed up. And I've had that problem before. Discount Contractors have been here for that very reason two years ago. They came. I can hear the snake running, the head of a motorized snake going down through the pipes. And after they unplugged the sink, when they left, they told me that my sink needed a vent on it and gave me a charge of $625.

    About two days later, while I was having physical therapy at my house, my physical therapist and I went into the kitchen for him to show me how to do exercises standing at my kitchen sink, and when we stepped on the kitchen mat, we saw water coming up from underneath the mat. We pulled the mat up and took it outside and hung it on the rail. I came back. And I'm noticing that my floor has water coming up through the cracks.

    My nephew came over, looked at it. He said that there’s something leaking under my sink. So, he turned my water off to keep the leak from happening because the water had been building up for like three days underneath the floor.

    When I called to have them come back and check the previous problem, which was the stoppage, I was told I had to put in a whole new service request because it was no longer a stoppage. It was a leak. So, I had to pay another $125 for them to come back out to find out what's leaking underneath the sink that they had just ran these snakes through.

    They sent another guy out yesterday. And when he turned the knob on the pipe, he said that there was a broken washer. Usually, a washer is rubber. He said the washer is plastic and it was broken. He doesn't know why the previous man didn't see that. He replaced the washer. He tightened up the pipe that was left loose where the water was seeping through.

    I needed to find out who was responsible for all of this water that has accumulated underneath my floors. There was no leak in my cabinet before they came. My floors are warped now in the kitchen and my living room, where the water has traveled underneath the floors. I'm afraid now that with that water sitting there, that could cause mold and mildew and a lot of other things.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for six years and my problem with them is when they send the contractors out to check a problem, they don't fix the problem. They stop it, but they don't fix it.

    When the technician came two years ago and told me I needed a vent on my pipes, why am I paying all of this money, and you see the problem and not fix it?

    They came once before. I needed a new knob. The guy put a new knob on my bathroom tub. The knob was so tight that we would have to literally pull on the knob to get the water to come on. I had company one weekend, and unbeknownst to me, they were in the shower and pulled on that knob so hard that it broke off. When I called him back to check the knob, he told me that was gonna cost me $600 for them to replace that knob. And then he loosened up the area, loose enough for me to be able to turn the water on. Why did he not make it loose before?

    It sounds to me that American Home Shield is using Discount Contractors. But Discount Contractors come and they fix it just enough to cause you to pay more money for something else. I’m a little skeptical now, because every time they come, the problem is worse when they leave.

    The tech quoted me $250 to fix my pipes in the kitchen. When this man came, he gave me a quote of $625. Which one is right? If they’re going to charge me $250 to switch off my pipes and put a vent in, why would he charge me $625 just to put a vent in? It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't know if I trust them to come and fix anything. When I called back the second time for the leak, I asked them not to send Discount Contractors. But that's who they still sent.

    I filed the claim online for my AC. The contractor came and thought there was nothing wrong. He was argumentative when I kept telling him that there was something wrong. And finally, after getting a guy on the phone, put him on speaker phone and told him they went to the ceiling and there was a leak, he found it. He said it’s the plenum and not the duct. There's cool air that's being expelled in the ceiling. So if it's the plenum and not the duct, then he should be able to feel it. He ended up putting tape around it and spraying some kind of adhesive.

    The AC is not blowing cool. But according to him they probably won't fix anything because of the company itself and their limitations in their warranty. AHS customer service is okay. When you're calling with a problem, half the time, they're unable to assist.

I thought that the clogged drain should be covered under my policy, but it wasn't and I don't understand.

    During the visit, the guy was trying to rectify another issue with the basement sink. Probably because of that he forgot to replace a water line.

Then, American Home Shield also took about 10 days to approve the work and replace the AC. They acted very slowly in this bad weather.

    I had American Home Shield come out once because I thought I had tripped my breaker, but it turned out I didn’t pull it over hard enough to get it to fully trip. It was a learning experience.

    They also came out and checked the AC unit one time. That was annoying because it started as a checkup, but then a component needed replacing. I paid $100 for the checkup and then was charged another $100 the same day for the repair. The part itself was only $25, so I ended up paying $200. I won’t be doing any more AC checkups with them because of that.

    We’ve only been with American Home Shield for a little over a year, and we got them because when we bought our house, the AC unit was already 25 years old, which was its life expectancy. Pretty much once we get our AC unit replaced, we're going to cancel our insurance with AHS.

Since then, there have been no other problems, so my system is ready for the summer. I’ve been with AHS for about 12 years, and I still have them because they work. I get great service, and while I hear other people complain, that’s not me.

    The price, however, keeps going up, which I have an issue with, but with a 30-year-old house, you basically want as much coverage as possible. They set the price and have maybe two different selections depending on what I want covered, which means I have to go with the higher one, where I most likely am going to get caught sooner or later. I would like the price to be lower, especially since I’ve been a customer for so long.

    Also, I usually prefer to speak to a person rather than using the online service or app because I want them to know the product and the brand I’m dealing with, since knowing the brand depends on who they should be sending to your house. You don’t get that option online.

    Good afternoon, Chad,

    Thank you for the review, which does help us better serve our customers. So, in this case, had you paid the non-covered amount to the AHS vendor, and had the AHS vendor complete the work under the warranty, then AHS would have honored the repair for the tech to go back out and correct the installation or repair issue. However, since you did take the cash out, based on the covered amount authorized for the repair/replace issue, and used your own vendor, then your own vendor would have been responsible for their work within their guarantee time. I am so sorry that happened to you.

    Astro Appliance came out not too long ago for my dryer. It was taking too long to dry the clothes. The technician took it apart, cleaned it, and replaced some stuff. It sounds like it did when I first bought it.

    I've been with American Home Shield for probably going on my second year. I usually reach them through the automated system. I spoke to someone about Astro coming, and everything that they told me happened. They told me that they would be calling me around a certain time frame, and they did. Then they say the repairman would be here around a certain time frame. Everything they said was good. I was quite pleased.

    My air conditioning was not working, and so A-US Air Conditioning fixed the part. They did not fix it the first day. They had to come back. The tech closed it out and said everything was working, but forgot to plug something in at the end of the day. And so the next day, he ended up having to come back. I did not have a good experience with them.

    I had AHS since July, it was part of the home purchase. I’ve called and filed online claims but I prefer calling because unless it's very straightforward, it's not easy to use the online service. I would not recommend their service unless it’s free.

    We submitted a claim to American Home Shield for our air conditioning unit that was not cooling. The technicians came one time, and put some Freon on it. But it was still not cooling, so they came back to take care of it. At the moment, the unit is working, and hopefully, it will last. American Home Shield knows which technicians are good, and sends them to us. They are right on time and they take care of the issue.

    Hills General Plumbing came, but they didn’t do all the stuff. They were supposed to check the upstairs sink as well as the downstairs one. In my ticket to American Home Shield, I put downstairs sink because it was loose. And then, when I talked to them later, I told them to be sure to check the upstairs too because they seemed to have problems at the same time. And we have messages back and forth where they said they would check both.

    When they came, my renters were there and they were quick, in and out. They did not say anything or check in and just got out of there. For 125 bucks, there was no actual repair. They were just tightening a faucet and then they did not bother to go unclog the upstairs faucet. In past claims I have had, there have been hit and miss. Some of the practitioners they are using are not the best. The last time I had a plumber come, it was this company called Rainbow Plumbing, and they needed to replace the toilet. And they skirted out. They literally snuck out of the house.

    I was texting them and calling them. Then, they come back unannounced five minutes later from Home Depot and they have the cheapest, dumbest toilet ever. I wanted to pick the toilet. And they said it was too late already. They were just really short, rude, and intimidating. Now I have a toilet in my master bath that makes me look like a fool. American Home Shield used to be better. Also, they did a price hike and reduced back what my stuff covers. I would not super recommend it.

    Pinnacle Appliance Repair was sent out by American Home Shield, and they did real good. There was a problem with the filter system on the refrigerator, but they got it to quit leaking and got it fixed up. They came out right away. I think it was the next day. We’ve used them before for a stove and a washer, and they did good on those, too. They’re really good.

    American Home Shield does real good, except for that one electrical guy, he wasn't worth a flip. He was a nut and caused a bunch of problems. He wouldn’t call back or answer, and it was just nothing but trouble. I called American Home Shield and they got Cobb Electric instead, and they’re real good.

    The only other thing is that one deal about getting the money refunded. They charged us $125 twice for the same thing, and the representative said they would refund our money in five days. We haven’t gotten that refund yet. But other than that, we haven’t had any trouble at all.

    I had a terrible experience with AHS. The water tank for the toilet had a tiny crack and was leaking, so I called American Home Shield. The technician came out and said it wasn’t covered because it’s a brand they don’t service or actually, because I installed a bidet seat later. The bidet is removable, it’s a toilet seat, not a toilet that comes with a built-in bidet.

    First, the Pro Plumbing technician thought the toilet was a special model with a built-in bidet, so it wouldn’t be covered. I explained it was a regular toilet and that I had installed the bidet seat myself. He said he’d inform American Home Shield. Then I got a report from American Home Shield saying the plumber claimed the toilet tank cracked due to misuse and abuse.

    A week went by with no response from American Home Shield, I had to call and ask them what happened. They said they’d send someone out for a second opinion or a different plumber. But another week went by and nothing happened, no response from American Home Shield.

    One of our hot water lines had a hole and was leaking. My husband had gotten a Sharkbite to put on there. However, he didn’t have the strength to close it all the way. So American Home Shield technicians came and fixed that. It was an easy fix. The second time the same technicians came out was for our water heater which stopped working. Its breaker outside was mislabeled when we moved in. The technicians were able to fix that too, and now, the water heater is working wonderfully. The technicians were absolutely nice and great. I'm really glad they were able to fix them.

    So far, it's been a wonderful experience with them. I'm really thankful that we've only had to use Home Shield a couple of times. The $57.50 I spend a month has been worth it. I just wish that American Home Shield would hurry up and finish out the claim so I can send it to my foster home agency who wants to reimburse us for the $250 we spent.

The last time Sears canceled the appointment, I requested a cash-out option so I could resolve the issue myself because I cannot rely on them to come out.

    I've had American Home Shield for 10 to 15 years, but I’m not very happy with them, and I am thinking of moving. Recently, they fixed my garage door the next day after I made my claim, and the vendor handled it fine. It’s not always the vendor’s fault, though sometimes it is because they like to say that special word that gets it denied, and yet they still get their foot in the door.

    However, last year they left us without air conditioning for over a month during the hottest summer on record in Las Vegas, when it reached 120 degrees. I have a quadriplegic in the house who cannot move, and we had to suffer without an air conditioner because they were waiting for a part to come in from out of state. They could have sourced it locally and had it fixed in two days. But no, they wanted to wait until it came through their vendor or their connection out of state so they could get it as cheap as they could. Every time I called, my calls weren’t accepted, and the representative kept bouncing me to voicemail. Even the vendor who was putting it in said that they could have gotten it locally. It pissed me off that they kept somebody with a special needs person in that heat just to save $40 on a part.

    I had a problem with the ice maker because the hose from the wall that goes into the ice maker cracked. The serviceman replaced the hose. Afterwards, they noticed that a pipe on the freezer door had broken on the bottom and can’t be fixed. It still makes ice, so that works, but we can’t use it to get water. The serviceman wrote it up as normal wear and tear. Because it was written up like that, they denied my request for a new door or refrigerator. It’s not wear and tear since it’s our second house and we only go down there every two months. There’s no exposed piping because it’s inside the system.

    I’m not happy with American Home Shield’s service. I’ve been paying them for almost five years now. This is the second or third time I used them. The policy was great until now.

    American Home Shield’s service is getting spotty. One of the main reasons why I stay is because I'm a Realtor, so I have access to the Realtor concierge number. But the regular consumer doesn't. So, I have to advocate for my mom who's not a Realtor. I'm on her account to get things done.

    Recently, the air conditioning unit wasn't running properly. I filed a claim online and Crispy Air came out. Their tech was very nice, very cordial, very courteous and very informative.

    I hope AHS will resolve the problems faster. Sometimes a claim’s resolution is not going to be overnight or even that same week, which is difficult. Last year was horrible because my mom was out for almost a month without her stove. And after calling the vendor, I had to call American Home Shield every day on the concierge line because I was certain that the vendor was not telling the truth. I didn’t think I had to go as far as escalating it. She didn't have a stove. She's 80. And there was just no real resolve to that.

    There was no empathy. And I find that quite a bit often now lately with American Home Shield. Before, they cared more about the customer experience. But now it seems like it's just corporate.

    I had a problem with my air conditioning unit. The technician sent by American Home Shield came out and put in a new unit. I had to pay about $3800 out of pocket plus what American Home Shield paid for this new unit. A year and three months later, I turned on my air, no AC. Even after they replaced it, I didn't even run the AC for more than six months after that within that year and three months. During that time the rest of the freon leaked. This unit is supposed to last a while because it's a new unit. That was under warranty. The technician must have punctured the coil during the installation, and it leaked out the Freon.

    I called American Home Shield, and told them about the people that they hired. They sent somebody out again after I called. Aside from my monthly fee, I also paid the $130 service fee. American Home Shield said the coil was covered, but the Freon wasn't. They could pay only $10 per pound for the Freon and wanted me to pay almost $900 out of pocket for the Freon. That's not fair to me, being a long-time paying customer, and because an error was caused by the company they sent out.

    I called the contractor company that installed it, but they said that I have to pay them $90 dollars for them to come out. I said that I should not have to pay one dime if the part was faulty or was punctured which caused the Freon to leak out. That was not all my doing on the brand-new unit.

    American Home Shield suggested that we can do a cash-out which means they can send me $100 for the Freon, but I have to find my own technician and pay triple the amount of what they were trying to charge me for the Freon. I was thinking that that money was going towards the Freon. It ended up being $300 that they gave me. I accepted it even though I wasn't satisfied with it.

    I called the representatives and the contractor company back. They said that since I accepted the cash-out with them, it voided my coverage. But that was never explained to me. I would have never accepted the $300 cash-out if only I knew about it. That does not make sense to me. I told the representative that it makes me feel like an unwanted customer.

    Now, the contractor company tried to work with me. They said that if I could get American Home Shield to reassign it, the contractor would come out and do it. I could pay $700 out of pocket, and we can get it on a written agreement. I told them that I'm not paying that money out. So, I'm still stuck without AC. I am frustrated and not happy at all.

    Hello Walter,

    So I took a look at your work orders. I see you had the condenser replaced in September of 2023. Your next issue was in April of 2025 for a fan motor and a refrigerant leak. I did not find your non-covered amount to be as high as stated, and there are codes, modifications, and refrigerant costs that are excluded or limited. I don't think any company, warranty or repair vendor, is going to guarantee anything over a year. After that amount of time, it is difficult to say what caused the refrigerant leak. I am so sorry that happened to you. But I am glad to see that you are still a valued member of American Home Shield. I can see that you have received good value for the warranty over the years, which I love to see our customers getting good value for the warranty.

    On Friday, May 9, 2025 I spoke with one first level agent and one supervisor from both AHS sales and support departments (four agents total)—all four refused to provide the free tune-up. I provided notice of recording and recorded these calls with AHS staff’s permission. All four agents told me that the tune-up for Spring is only offered through April 28th, yet they confirmed this date is not published anywhere to the public on AHS website, nor in my agreement. It is an unfair, deceptive trade practice, false advertising, and a breach of our agreement to offer a free tune-up and not disclose the date limitations. All 4 of AHS staff members confirmed that my contract currently does not display any time limitation for the Spring and Fall tune-ups.

    Shockingly, AHS sales department supervisor, Khoury, claimed the member agreement will change based on the date the consumer accesses the agreement on AHS website. Supervisor Khoury stated: if the member requests a copy of the agreement, based on the date the customer views the agreement PDF on AHS website, it will add and remove the Spring and Fall tune-ups and related dates.

    Khoury claims only if I try to access the agreement during the time period offered will the plan agreement display the tune up time limitation. This is one of the most deceptive and unfair trade practices I've ever encountered. This contract cannot be binding if AHS changes it unilaterally, repeatedly throughout the term, without any notice to customers. AHS staff alleged I may have been sent an email with these date limitations but they could not provide the date the email was sent. I informed them I have never received an email with any date limitations.

    I asked AHS sales department when are the Fall and Spring tune-ups offered. Supervisor Khoury said he didn't know—it changes every year and they're informed by AHS company at the last minute when the period starts. Khoury doesn’t know when Fall tune ups will be offered, and he couldn't tell me when Spring tune ups started—only that they were terminated April 28. The unfair, deceptive, and abusive claims practices described above are unconscionable and patently unlawful.

    American Home Shield sent someone out to look at my air conditioner and it seems like most things aren't covered by the warranty and I’m gonna have a big bill to pay. So, I will go through my policy to see if it's worth keeping.

    The last service call I had was kind of a difficult one, but overall, it's been pretty good. The ice cube dispenser in my fridge broke, somebody came out to check it, and filed a claim to replace the part, but for some reason, it was denied and I wasn’t notified. I called to follow up, and the person on the phone said it was denied, but they resubmitted it and was approved, so I should hear back from them the following week. She lied. I called again after that week was up, and they told me it was still denied, that it was an aesthetic problem and not a mechanical issue, and if I wanted a second opinion, I would have pay $125 for someone to come out again, which I didn’t agree to so it was escalated further to management. They finally approved for someone to come back out, ended up replacing it and I didn’t have to pay the $125 service fee. But having to go through that whole rigamarole was frustrating. Other than that, everything else has been pretty good. They sent out a garage repair guy a couple of times, and it was quick and straightforward both times.

    My wife submitted a claim with American Home Shield through the app. The technician who came out was great. He looked at everything and was pretty honest that everything was in great shape. He had a few recommendations but didn't push them, which is appreciated. We ended up going with one of them and are planning on doing the others down the road.

    We've only had American Home Shield for a little bit and haven't had much of a chance to use it outside of that one experience, and that was really more of a preventative thing than something actually going wrong. The first service was good.

    I’ve been a customer with American Home Shield for four years. I like American Home Shield very much, and I like Myers even better, they were great.

    The first issue was a leaking refrigerant line. The second was a leak at a joint where the refrigerant line connected to another component.

    The people who came out for the two or three claims I had were great. My only disappointment was that it took a long time to get someone out after each service call, it would take a week or more.

    Our air conditioning wasn’t blowing cold air. So, I submitted a claim online, and American Home Shield sent AirMax out. The interaction with the technician was fine. He was helpful. He just misinformed me because when he was out of the house, he told me that everything would be covered and it wouldn’t cost me any money to do the repair. But once he got back to the AirMax office, they obviously found a way to add new charges so that I would have to pay something, and they could make more money off the deal. They do it every time.

    So, I tried to talk to AHS customer service several times, but it’s mostly useless. I made 11 calls in, and I never got an answer to my question. I even tried reaching out directly to AirMax. But everybody’s pointing the finger at the other person.

He was out here about a year and a half ago and was fantastic then as well. I think he might actually be the owner. It's nice to always have one place like American Home Shield to call, but it would be better if they had more coverage for Freon and faster service.

    I recently used American Home Shield for a garbage disposal replacement. He came here and confirmed what I had suspected that the leak was coming from the garbage disposal. He verified it needed to be replaced and said he could install a third horsepower unit right away instead of the half horsepower I had. I told him no policy states fix or replace.

    He said he’d have to get written approval from the company to install the half horsepower unit, which would take a couple of days. Three days later, he came back and installed it. American Home Shield told me all that was unnecessary, the policy was correct. He probably didn’t have the unit on the truck and needed to get it. There was no contact with American Home Shield for approval.

    I would recommend American Home Shield. Based on my conversation with them, there was no issue on their part. They weren’t even aware that the plumber hadn’t handled it the same day, and they weren’t contacted for any approval. The representatives I spoke with went over the contract with me and confirmed that I was right, no approval was required, and the unit could have been replaced immediately.

He got on video call with somebody, went out and sat in his truck, and later told my husband he needed to order parts, and he’d be back when the parts came in. That was the last I saw of him. I told American Home Shield that we need somebody who knew what they were doing, so they sent out somebody else who actually fixed the icemaker and the leak, and everything’s working. But the claim I filed for my garage door, American Home Shield didn’t do anything. They sent somebody out, he told my husband that we needed new remote controls for it, to call the number on the back of the remote control, left and closed the claim. So, my garage door still doesn't open. I called American Home Shield, and they’re supposed to refund the $125 but I still haven’t received it, so I am not happy at all.

    American Home Shield is a very hard company to deal with. I purchased the premiere plan. They will send someone out after paying a deductible to your home. The companies they send lack integrity and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnose the problem in which you have to request a second opinion. If the second opinion is the same they will make you pay another come out fee. I have and technicians come out on my refrigerator 4 or more times before they decided to replace it. They won't cover my AC unit that is leaking at the joints because the technician said it was under warranty with the manufacturer.

    It is not under warranty and the manufacturer said even if it is they don't cover labor. If you are working it is hard to take time off for these multiple trips. I imagine all home insurance companies are hard to deal with but I would not recommend I can only speak to American Home Shield and it is been an awful experience. Try a different company.

    American Home Shield sent over SWAT Plumbing because my drains have been clogging up over time.

It got to the point when I hadn't been able to use my dishwasher because water would back up into my living room floor. I wasn't able to do laundry because water was coming back into my garage.

    The first guy came out and didn't do anything at all. He showed up with some Channellocks and said, "Someone will have to get on your roof. That sucks. Call someone else." He leaves and that's not good enough. I had to call out a second guy. They were like, "How's he gonna fix the house with some Channellocks?“ That upset me.

    The second guy was great. He ran a mixture of lye and something else through my drain. He also showed me some stuff that I can use to help run through and keep my sewage more open. He also said I might have to get someone who works more with appliances so I have not attempted to use my dishwasher. But everything has been great since.

    Speedy Air came out because it was taking too long for my clothes to dry. I told them on the phone that I recently had somebody out to check the vent that goes into the wall up towards the roof. I thought that everything would have been perfect after that. But they didn’t find any big clog and so the dryer was still acting the same.

    When the tech came for the dryer, he didn’t even pull it out. He pulled out the washer so that he could get to the back of the dryer and he did disconnect the flex hose. He just stuck his hands in the opening. He didn’t visibly look in there with a flashlight.

    I asked him if there was any water in the flex hose. There wasn’t any but he didn’t look deep. He took the lint trap out but didn’t vacuum in the lint trap. When I had the lint company come, they pulled the dryer out and vacuumed in the back. They put a brush all the way to the roof.

    When I had the claim set up, the person on the phone did say that they’re not going to clean the vent that goes all the way up to the roof. But that the tech was gonna try to do everything that he can to find the solution. But all they did was put the temperature sensor on there to see if it reached temperature.

    A friend of mine said the tech could have checked if the clog sensor was bad. For some reason, the dryer keeps shutting off, sensing that it’s done, but the clothes are not done yet. They did push some button and show me the sensor. But whatever the sensor may be on the dial, that’s working. It’s quite possible that it’s the clog sensor.

    The tech told me that if it was still doing that after the lint guy came, then I should have called the lint guy and he would have come back for free. This guy didn’t have the passion because he was not even interested in digging in the lint trap, seeing if there was something stuck.

    He took out the lint trap and said that if it was clogged, it wouldn’t even close all the way. He put it in part where he said it would be sticking up. Now, clearly there are different levels if the lint trap has lint in it. It not closing all the way would be an extreme situation.

    The guy was a quick-in, quick-out. He was just interested in getting a fast service call. Everything that I asked him about, he would say that it was all maintenance. I have the Platinum plan from AHS which says that it’s like a maintenance plan, but he doesn’t do that. All he does is check the temperature of the heat that’s coming out for the dryer. If it works, then that’s all that he does. I told him it was a waste of my money because I could have told him that it was heating.

    So in the end, nothing has changed because he didn’t do anything. I’ve been debating if I wanted to cancel my plan. I’ve been afraid that if I do cancel, then I would need it because the one I have covers unlimited Freon. It’s been beneficial some of the time, but other times, the technicians that they send aren’t always as dedicated to finding a solution to the problem as what I would hope.

The time frame from the time that we make the order until we actually talk to the technicians needs to be improved.

The technicians from United Services Appliances Repair have been in my house about six times for my dryer and it still isn't working. Every time the technicians come back, they're changing something like the cord, the timer, and some other parts, but the dryer still isn't working.

    I was hoping American Home Shield would buy me a new dryer, but that hasn't happened. When I asked the technician about it, he said that it's up to American Home Shield, and based on their history, they haven't been replacing the appliances. The technician told me that he didn't submit it for replacement because American Home Shield is not going to replace it. The way they were talking was like the warranty people were not gonna replace it.

    I don't know what to do at this point. I'm paying my monthly payments for a warranty, so I'm just gonna keep calling American Home Shield until they figure something out.

    I turned the air conditioning on in January but it never reached the temperature. It was warm and it showed it was 78 in the home. I turned it down to 72 but it never dropped at all. It stayed at the temperature of 78. I made the service request but no one took it. I called American Home Shield and they called the company that was assigned to me. The company said they would reach out to me within a couple of hours but they never did. I called back to American Home Shield and they dropped the contractor. But they never could find anyone.

    There was a lot of back and forth because they said I could find someone and I agreed to that for a week but no one wanted to be a third party, so I gave it back to American Home Shield. This was now the middle of February and nothing ever became of that particular service request. It’s still pending now, so I paid American Home Shield money for nothing. It's not refunded back to me according to their contract laws.

    Later on, there was a tune-up offer which I accepted. Advanced Heating came out and did the tune-up. They found the issues with the air conditioner. We were in March then and they said I need to make a service request so they could send over the information. The technician said that he recommended getting a replacement, a whole different unit. Advanced Heating and Cooling went in and discussed different quotes about a new unit. But they said that American Home Shield would only pay $1,200. The quote they gave me was $5,700 for a new unit, and it was too much for me to have to spend.

    I was questioning why American Home Shield was only paying that much. I finally got to a person that was higher up with American Home Shield and said that was what the cost of the part would be and the service to replace the part. American Home Shield said they would order the part but somehow, it turned out that the part was not ordered, so I was delayed for a week and a half. Advanced Heating and Cooling ordered the part and showed up 10 days after they ordered it. I've had the air conditioning working for about two weeks now.

    I was questioning why Advanced Heating and Cooling was only telling American Home Shield that the part needed to be replaced. It was ducking and dodging when it came back to that, and the way things were handled affected me. Advanced Heating and Cooling went back and forth with American Home Shield. They said that because of what the problem was, what they do with their company is tell the customer that they need to replace the whole unit. But they only replaced the evaporator coil.

    Because I was dealing with two different parties, one was placing the blame on the other and the other was placing the blame on the other. I don't know what their reply will be with that, but I'm sure American Home Shield would direct a lot of it toward Advanced Heating and Cooling. I'm happy things got resolved though.

    I haven't been a customer of American Home Shield for that long and the first couple of times, the technicians came right out. But back in November of 2024, the service request I put in supposedly fixed the same thing. They came out for my AC not getting to the temperature that is set on a thermostat, and the technician supposedly fixed it. I ran it for four weeks because there was a 30-day warranty. Then I didn't have to run it anymore because of the temperature. It was the winter months. When I had to turn it on in January, the coolant was out.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for about 10 years. It’s worth it to have them, and I’ve recommended them to other people. They have courteous and professional technicians that come out. They wear their company uniform, identify themselves, and put those shoe thing covers on when they come to my home. They let me know about the process, like what has to happen during a repair, if they have to order parts and when they’re coming back. Some of my appliances are a little bit older, so sometimes they don’t have the part readily available.

    If I call them to check in, they always provide me with updates. I receive text messages and emails from them. I haven’t had any issue that I’ve contacted American Home Shield and they haven’t been able to resolve it. I can call them or I can contact them through automation, and they take care of the problem.

    One instance, my control board went out and a tech came out. He assessed the situation, told me what the problem was, and ordered the part the same day. He gave me the first available date to come back out with the part. We had to work something out because I wasn’t available. When he came back out, he installed the control board. Everything’s working fine with that.

    I had an appliance issue with a downdraft exhaust fan, and the company assigned by American Home Shield didn’t do installations, even though this is basically a remove-and-replace. Also, it seems like every time AHS assigned a contractor, they told him it was a range-over-hood exhaust fan, which was not the case. We did that four times, so I just found somebody who would install it, referred by someone else, not AHS.

    All my other experiences with American Home Shield have been pretty positive. This was the first time I had an issue, and it’s been an issue since COVID because the part was on backorder. AHS paid for us to get the part and gave us a Lowe’s card, so we purchased it. But then we couldn't get it installed, which was a hassle.

    This issue rubbed me a little wrong way, having the same thing over and over again through AHS, supposedly talking to supervisors at AHS, and that it supposedly went up to a higher channel.

    The contractor came out and adjusted the water flow. He was great. It's been working well since the repair.

    I haven’t used American Home Shield’s service for a while, so I was surprised to see that the fee had gone up from 75 to 100. Obviously, it’s always concerning when the fee is more than it was. I don’t recall seeing any notice in advance that this was going to happen.

    One concern I had in the past was the ability to change the contractor. I’ve had previous instances where the contractors didn’t seem to know what they were doing, and I only work with certain contractors. I was told I would have the option to change the contractor if they don’t fix the issue, so that’s a little disconcerting.

    I had American Home Shield since 2020 and when I bought my house. The first time I've had to use it was about two weeks ago. The online experience seemed to be okay. But the contractor that they paired me with never reached out. American Home Shield had an automated system. It was just a text saying that the contractor would be here on a certain day at a certain time. I tried calling them to say, "Hey, that doesn't work for me.” I was trying to speak to a person. But it was like a call center in another country and not the contractor.

    I had to call American Home Shield to cancel. And then I had to redo it with somebody on there. They paired me with another contractor. That contractor came out to look at my air conditioner and said, "Yup. You got a leak. But I don't have what I need to be able to diagnose where it's at. So, I'll just charge it with Freon and go on about that." He didn’t have what he needed to do a pressure test to find the actual leak. He just put Freon in the unit and left. I wouldn't even know how long that would last since we're expecting 95-degree weather this week. I was like, "Okay.” But if my air conditioner has a leak, it needs to be fixed. I can take my $1,400 a year and put that in a savings account. I'm doing that now. Why even pay for a home warranty anymore?

    The contractor left and didn't call back or say, "We'll come back to test it or whatever else." That was how I spent my $100 service call. I called another company and told them to just tell me what I needed to do. I'm hiring this other company to replace the unit and it will be out of pocket.

    When I talked to American Home Shield about replacing the air conditioner and things, they said the technician that they sent from one of their companies would have to come out and would have to say what needed to be replaced. If it were just one piece of it, then they'll replace the one piece even though my unit is 18 years old and they no longer make replacement parts for that type of unit. They said I would still have all of the out-of-pocket costs for the new panel, new lines, labor, and all those things, because they only actually replace the unit.

    I was looking on the American Home Shield website and their plans. There’s a $5,000 limit for an air conditioner. The plan that I'm under is has a $50,000 limit. But they said they were not gonna pay that. I was like, "Fine. Have your technician come up here and tell me what it needs. And then y'all just give me a cash out. I'll just cash out and use that money towards the contractor that I wanna use to just fully replace the unit…” The contractor they sent did not even come prepared.

    I also called American Home Shield and I put in a service request for my dryer because there was a squeaky noise. I put in the service request online on Thursday. They said the ticket was assigned to somebody and that they would reach out to me in two business days. They reached out to me this morning and they said they would be here on Wednesday morning. But that day doesn't work for me. I was like, "Let me call my home warranty if they can do something." They said, "We can't reassign it to another technician because it's within our guidelines. They reach out to you." I'm like, "If it doesn't work for me, what? I can't cancel or what?"

    I had to call the other company back and be like, "Hey, can you do any other day even if I gotta wait a week or whatever?" They said they could do afternoon on Wednesday. We'll see what that turns out to be. But I have absolutely no intention of renewing with American Home Shield when my contract is up in October.

    I was talking to my friend. She was with American Home Shield for a short period of time after they bought out Landmark, who she was originally with and loved. She switched from American Home Shield because she had similar bad experiences with the people that they contract with just not knowing what they're doing.

    American Home Shield should take a better look at their contractors. But that's gonna be difficult because I live in the country. When I bought the house, they said my area was serviceable. That was why they sold me the contract. I have the one with all the bells and whistles that covers pretty much everything that it could cover. But it’s been like, "Yeah. No. We're not gonna cover that. We can't move it to another technician."

    For my air conditioner, the first people who were gonna come out were 60 miles away. When I called the phone number, it went to a call center in another country. The ones that actually came out were about 40 miles away. They were unprepared and it was not like they could just turn around and go to the shop. And then the dryer people who are supposed to be here sometime Wednesday afternoon, they’re an hour drive away. It’s 50 to 60 miles away. It's difficult.

    If I have to find local people who could take care of me timely, I’m not gonna be going through the home warranty. But a contractor in my area can't even diagnose the issue because American Home Shield wants one of their contractors to diagnose it. Also, it's like you can't even do a cash out. So far, it has not been a great experience.

    The dishwasher wasn't draining. It starts but does not complete the cycle and would just stop. The technician from M-Tech Services Inc. who came out the first time, I would not give him a good rating at all. When he showed up, he zoomed down the street and backed into my driveway with his music blasting. He hopped out, came inside and didn't ask many questions but took pictures of the appliance. I asked him questions, and he didn't seem like he knew the answer or he didn't care, then he left.

    I got a phone call a few days later saying that American Home Shield wasn't going to repair or replace it because it's a motherboard issue and was not considered normal wear and tear. I told them that I didn't agree with that because he didn't even look at it. My thing is, isn't the motherboard a part of wear and tear? I inherited all of these appliances when I bought the house, so I'm just confused.

    They were going to just send another company out, but the lady that I spoke to in customer service told me that if they found the issue to be the same, then I would have to pay another $125. I wasn't willing to do that, so I ended up cancelling it.

    When I first purchased the home, I had somebody come out to look at the refrigerator, and it was the same thing -- He came out, but he looked at everything. Then at least he told me what was going on, what needed to happen, that he would follow back with me, which he did, so he ended up fixing that.

    The communication is terrible, and the customer service, I’d really not even rate it 1 star. When you call in or when they call you for a work order, you do everything online. And then they call to schedule an appointment for you. Whoever calls me is fine, but it’s just a short conversation. I have questions, and they don't give me the answers. There’s a communication barrier as well.

    My first situation wasn't very bad, but it's ridiculous. I am now looking for a different home warranty program because I don't think I want to continue with American Home Shield.

    American Home Shield took too long. I've been paying for five years, every month, I've been telling them the system is broken, and they didn't wanna fix it. Finally, they replaced the unit, which took them two and a half weeks to decide which I get is a business decision, so I understand. But I'm glad all the work is done, and I'm happy. They raised my bill from $60 to $120, but that's okay. It was worth getting the unit paid for.

    So, in the end, American Home Shield took care of business, and I'm satisfied this time. The last couple years, I've been paying for stuff I shouldn't. American Home Shield should take care of their customers a bit sooner instead of trying to do little quick fixes. It's a lot cheaper and a lot better if they just go ahead and fix stuff that needs to be fixed. I'm not gonna be happy if they keep raising my monthly payments and I’m gonna have to cancel it.

    The first contractor was completely incompetent. He said it was Freon, paid $600. But after six weeks, and still having issues, it made sense that there was leakage. The second one was trying to pull a fast one. Told my daughter there was a leak, but told American Home Shield it just needed more Freon, and was trying to pressure my daughter into getting a whole new system.

    I talked to a lady at American Home Shield about the second contractor and she almost made me lose my mind. All we wanted was a third opinion, and she refused. I'm 63 years old, and I've never been as frustrated in my whole life talking to that lady who would not give in. It was a big mess until I talked to a gentleman, and he was wonderful. He understood and took care of it immediately. And because of him, I did not cancel the contract with American Home Shield. He sent out a third person at no charge to us, and he was absolutely wonderful. He explained why American Home Shield would not pay for it, which made sense, that it was leaking refrigerant, but filling it with refrigerant was not gonna solve the problem. So, we spent $600 for nothing. He told my daughter since she had it installed by one of their friends, it could have been an installation problem, and it was still under warranty. So, he explained everything to her that made perfect sense. Of all the three contractors, they were the only ones who knew what they were doing.

    Me and my son also have contracts for our homes, and we've never had any problems at all. It’s just the lady I talked to needs training. I don't think it was American Home Shield ‘cause they’ve been good to us.

    American Home Shield is nothing but a legalized scam wrapped in pretty marketing. I signed up expecting coverage for my home systems — you know, what they promise — and within weeks, my HVAC system broke down. Guess what? They refused to cover it. Their excuse? “Pre-existing condition.” Are you kidding me? The unit was working perfectly fine when I signed up, but they pulled out every excuse in the book to deny the claim. Their so-called technician barely looked at it before delivering a canned response designed to protect AHS, not the customer.

    This company is built on deception, fine print, and delay tactics. They’ll take your money every month and then do everything possible to get out of paying when something actually goes wrong. It's not a warranty — it’s a membership to getting screwed over when you need help the most. AHS is actively ripping off homeowners by making them think they’re protected. You’re better off burning your money than trusting this company. Their business model is to deny, deflect, and drain your patience until you give up. ⚠️ DO NOT fall for their fake peace of mind. They’re not here to help — they’re here to profit from your problems.

    Klenk attempted to fix my dishwasher, and they are replacing it. They sent me some options of what would be comparable and then also gave me the option to upgrade for extra money if I wanted to. I get to pick what I want. I was with Landmark before, and American Home Shield bought them. In terms of price, they are way higher than Landmark was.

    Our AC compressor broke. The tech had a compressor with him and it was fixed. He was in and out within a half an hour. My air conditioner is on one side of the house outside. Inside the house where the furnace is was making a weird noise. He told me because the air compressor was out, the noise travels up the tube and that’s why I was hearing it.

    So just to make sure that after everything was running, we turned the AC off. We had to wait five minutes for it to come back on. It came back on and sure enough, the noise was gone. I really appreciated him taking that extra time to make sure all my issues were addressed. He was very polite and professional. He listened to me and answered my questions. I don’t normally write reviews but I wrote one for him because he did such a good job.

    But I hate the automated system because I don’t know some of the choices of what was wrong. If somebody could have explained what they mean, it would have been easier.

    I filed a claim with American Home Shield. Our water heater went out, and then the technicians from Valley Plumbing went out. They were good.

    We had to leave a little bit, so they communicated pretty well. The restoration company hasn't, but we're still trying to get it figured out on the back end. We haven't repaired it. We're still waiting for them.

    I've been communicating with the individual who was out there the first time, and I've been told twice in the last week and a half that they would reach out to me, and they have yet to. But they did well.

    The app was easy to use. We've had other home warranties before, and the app was definitely the easiest that I've had.

    My dishwasher wasn’t cleaning dishes and the soap door would not shut when you put the soap in. The technician that came from Frank’s Appliance Repair is very knowledgeable and friendly. He is coming back because he could not get the parts to repair it, so we are getting a new one. The dishwasher worked out great.

    However, there was a plumbing issue and when the plumber came out to deal with it the very first time, I was told that it was a clog in the sewer line and American Home Shield would not pay to let the plumber pull the toilet and try to attack it from that direction. The second time that they came out for the same issue, I submitted another service order to pull out the toilet and that ended up working out. And now, I just submitted another service order for the very same problem.

    And so, my issue with it is I’m continuing to have to spend $125 to have somebody come out and unclog a sewer line when, obviously, there is a problem in the sewer line somewhere that is causing these recurring clogs. Also, they do not have anything on their app to address something like that. I would suggest that they add a free text area to where I could explain what the problem is, then review it and do what they need to do.

Last year, I had an issue with my refrigerator, and the technician had to come out four different times. They replaced three different parts. I submitted the same issue with my refrigerator now. The technician who did my refrigerator came out and was here for five minutes. He said I had to empty my refrigerator and turn it off for 24 hours and that would fix it. But this is the second time.

    Before I was in a rental home, I was in a home I owned and had American Home Shield. I've been a customer of theirs for probably a total of seven years or more, and 2020 was when I got the latest policy. At the time I researched, they were among the top three home warranty companies when I first signed up with them. Now, they're not and they've got a lot of complaints. Last summer, I'm in Phoenix, Arizona and it was 108 degrees out. One of my air conditioners goes out in the main house and they could not find the right air conditioner that they wanted to replace my broken one with. Eight days later, I'm sitting in a 108-degree temperature, so instead of waiting longer, I went out and bought my own air conditioner for less money. I concluded that they’re a real scam.

    A1 Appliance came for a simple washing machine repair and their tech fixed the problem. But in doing so, he created another problem. We didn’t realize it until after he left. I called American Home Shield and said, "You need to send this guy back out here to fix the problem he created." They wanted me to pay another $100 to open a new case, and I said no. I told them, "He's your guy. He caused the problem. You should send him out here and you should eat it." The tech also evidently told American Home Shield he did not want to come back here to fix the problem he created because he wasn't gonna get paid. That is the second problem that I had, which has caused me to drop the American Home Shield warranty.

    The contractor came out to check my furnace and didn’t find anything wrong with it. He explained that maybe what it did was as it got to the temperature it was supposed to be at and shut down. But my concern was that the fan had been going on and on, and it wasn’t igniting. When he came, of course it ignited, but it still took a little while to get going. So, I wasn’t sure it was really fixed. But then later, I had turned it off and turned it back on. It started working like it should work. So it seems to be working okay now.

    I put the claim in in the evening, and the next morning, American Home Shield called. The contractor got here at about 8:15 that morning. I was very happy about that because usually, when I call AHS, it takes hours and they usually come at the very last hour. But this was the opposite where he came at the first hour. But I noticed online they have a B rating versus similar businesses, and that doesn’t make me happy because what that means is they’re not resolving complaints fast enough. My biggest problem with them is it’s very hard to speak with a customer service person. It’s almost impossible which is probably another reason why they’re getting a B rating.

    Anders Air Conditioning came out and replaced my outside and upstairs unit. When they initially came out, I paid my deductible to American Home Shield, and they replaced the fan along with the motor, thinking that was the problem. But once he got upstairs, he noticed that there was a lot more going on with that 19-year-old unit.

    They were able to diagnose the issue and said that I needed a new unit. They gave me a price. I don’t think American Home Shield covered it under normal warranty or normal wear and tear, but they gave me a really good price. Almost half of what it would normally have cost me. I’m very pleased with the contractors. They were very responsive. Everything was a really good deal.

    I have been with American Home Shield for nine years. There was a point where I switched over to another company, and I didn’t have the best experiences. So, I went back to American Home Shield.

    I’ve been with AHS since 2021 after I bought my house. My experience with Polished was terrible. They came out in January. They were assigned to my broken dishwasher.At first, they said it just needed one part that doesn’t usually fail, but this part failed. They told me they’d order it and everything would be fine.

    They came back two weeks later and installed the part, but it still didn't work. Then they said it needed another part. Two weeks later, they came back, and still weren't fixed.” They told me it looked like an electrical issue and I needed to get an electrician.

    Three weeks later, I got an electrician. The electricians said there was absolutely no electrical issue. He showed me the wattage coming from the outlet and said it was clearly a dishwasher problem. So I ended up wasting time and money calling an electrician.

    I called them back, and they had to reopen the claim because they said it was completed. Then they said it needed a new panel that needed to be programmed. They ordered the part, but when it came. They said the company hadn’t programmed it properly and had to order another one. Two weeks later, the part came but still doesn't work. Then they said they’d have to order another part.

    We're into May now. And I was thinking, what’s going on with this dishwasher? If it can't be fixable, can we say that it needs to be replaced? Because this has been five months now. My house was supposed to be an Airbnb, and there was still no dishwasher.

    I called Polished and said “This is ridiculous. You’ve been out here eight times.told me about all these parts. What's going on?” They said, “You need to call American Home Shield. It's not our problem.”

    I called AHS and asked if they could replace the dishwasher. It’s about $500. They said no, they needed Polished to send a final report. I begged them not to send Polish again because they don't know what they're doing. I felt they were dragging things out and wasting time, but they said they had to.

    Polished didn’t come back, but they sent us a report anyway. They acted like they did come back. claiming there was “pest damage.” Then American Home Shield called me and said, “There’s pest damage, we can’t repair or replace your dishwasher.” This is the first time I've heard about this.

    I said, "This is the first time I’m hearing of this, and no one ever came back.” They said they get a second opinion. But if that opinion also says that there's pest damage, you have to pay for the service fee.” I was thinking, “What if there really isn’t pest damage and they’re just stringing you along to get more money?” I really don’t know.

    Then another company, Apex came out. They said, there's no new parts in this dishwasher. The technician saw evidence that Polished had never installed anything. Many things are wrong and need to be fixed. I don't even know what they did this the whole time. He said that there is evidence of pest damage.

    Why didn't they say that back in January if there was pest damage? I could have a new dishwasher then. He said he didn’t know. He said, "I'll be really thorough in my report that they tinkered around with this thing and literally did nothing for you for five months.” I said “Okay. But I know that as soon as American Home Shield sees pest damage, I won’t be compensated. I've just essentially been dragged along for five months now.”

    I got the call and email saying, "You're not covered, this isn't covered under American Home Shield.” I talked to the escalation department. I understand that pests don't qualify as repair damage. But the fact is you guys hired this company to come out that wasted five months of my time and your money, tinkering around, and then sent us a report out at the very end without even coming back to the house, saying that there was pest damage when they hadn't mentioned that one time.

    I've been screwed as a customer. I've been paying American Home Shield this whole time. I paid the service call. They refunded me the service call. But I'm a single mom and full-time nurse, trying to get this rental going.

    I had to go to Lowes yesterday, finally to buy a new dishwasher with my own money, even though I'm paying for this warranty. And now, I'm having to pay someone to install it real quick before I have renters tomorrow.

    It would’ve been better if in January, I could have had an honest company say, "There's pest damage. You're just gonna have to buy a new one.” Then I would have paid the money back in January and avoided all this stress. But I feel like this whole thing made it worse for me, if that makes sense.

    I've had two okay experiences because the companies they sent out locally were good companies. My AC and my furnace got fixed. Then they hired this terrible company to come back out. And American Home Shield wasn't very responsive to the situation.

    You're always talking to someone different. Most of the time, most of the time there’s a language barrier. It never feels like you’re going to get real help.

    It's nice to have the $125 refunded. But five months of stress and making appointments and juggling all this, it feels like they should have said, “We totally dropped the ball. Here's a new dishwasher. Thank you for being a customer.” And that didn't happen.

    Good afternoon, Katy,

    I do apologize AHS did not meet your expectations. I see the first work order was placed January 26, 2025, and a repair was completed. AHS did not hear from you again until March 21, 2025, so the repair must have worked initially. More repairs were done. AHS did not hear from you again until April 28, 2025. Again, the repair must have worked initially. On April 28, 2025 and on April 29, 2025, two different vendors found a new diagnosis, causing the unit not to work. As you mentioned, that diagnosis was pest damage, and that is not covered by American Home Shield. It is likely the repairs done by American Home Shield were good repairs, but were undermined by the pests, that the techs later became aware of. I am so sorry that happened.

    We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy American Home Shield and the service we provide!

    Please reach out if there is anything else American Home Shield can assist you with.

    I saw a coupon for a yearly checkup on air conditioner and so, I reached out to American Home Shield and they sent out Comfort First. He was the same gentleman who came before, and he was professional and knowledgeable. Frankly, I didn’t even know he was here. He did his job and left. We purchased a part to make the air conditioning more efficient, and I thought that the price was high for the part.

    In terms of the co-pays for each claim or visit, American Home Shield’s pricing seems reasonable. I had no issues setting it up online, and over the phone was fine – I had no complaints.

    Advanced Appliance Services did a regular seasonal inspection of the air-conditioning. When they found one part was underperforming, they recommended changing that, and went ahead and did that while they were still on the premises.

    There were two things he found – one was a recommendation and the other a stronger recommendation – and American Home Shield covered the one that he thought was more urgent.

    I got email reminders, and it’s our first summer in this place since we bought it in October 2024, so we went ahead and took the recommendation. For this most recent experience, I have no complaints.

    We had a previous one in the fall, where the shortcoming was that we were not actually contacted about the claim being denied. It was a long wait before we realized nothing was going to be done about the fridge.

    The recent claim I had was a dishwasher problem. It wouldn’t start. The contractor came out, and he had to order a part. When the part came in, he came out and fixed it. It's been working since the repair. The customer service was excellent.

    Most of the time, they always come out and it’s been pretty good. Now, I did have some problem with Paul’s Appliances about a year and a half ago with a dishwasher. They kept sending the guy and he couldn’t fix it. He came out three times. I said to heck with it, and I just bought a new one. Other than that, it works out.

    I thought having the warranty meant any time we had an issue, somebody would come out to help us. The Alliance Repair person came, took a look at the appliances, made wrong evaluations, and ordered parts. Maybe he just wanted to make more money. When I called American Home Shield, I was told that they were pre-existing conditions, so we just had the refrigerator and dishwasher fixed on our own, and they are both working now. So, I paid the repair person $100 to do nothing, and I'm paying American Home Shield $30 every month, but I’m not getting any service. I should look for another warranty company if this is the way things are.

    We had an issue with the bathroom. The toilet would run here and there every couple of minutes. The shower was also not draining very well. I put in a ticket that the toilet was constantly running and that was all we really wanted done. On American Home Shield's website, they give you a couple of boxes to check as far as leaks or running.

    A plumber came out really quickly and that was great. He started before I got home from work. He was snaking the toilet and looking for any plugs. I was outside doing some yard work and the snake was actually coming out through the pipe that comes out for air. The plumber thought he was getting some kind of blockage out but he was really hitting the top of my roof. I went in there and said, “Did you know your tool’s coming out through my roof? I don't think you're doing any good with the pipes and stuff.” He says, “No way. That's not possible.” I said, “Yeah. Come on. Look.” I came out and showed him.

    He said this meant I had a whole different set of problems. There were some things that were supposed to be pointed a certain way so that the flow of water would drain correctly. He basically told me that he could not go into the house because that box was not checked on my ticket with American Home Shield and the insurance was very specific as to what he could work on. He could not work on anything other than the running toilet. He told me that next time, I had to be very vague as far as my description.

    Nothing got fixed. I made another ticket the next day which included the entirety of the pipes and basically everything because we didn't know what was wrong. I said, “Make sure this person is ready to crawl under the house and see what is going on under the pipes. ‘Cause this guy snaked it, and it came out the roof. So, that should not happen.”

    A second guy came out and he did great. A new flap on the inside of the toilet was installed to see if that would fix the running water. He crawled under the house and he said everything looked fine. He ended up snaking it and it did not come out of the roof. It was plugged. He figured out that when the shower is ran, the shower would suck up water from the toilet bowl and cause it to go down because it was plugged in some certain way. That was why it was filling up. It was all because of the plug in the system.

    The second guy did the dye thing to see where the water was going. Everything ended up being fixed. But a couple of hours later, it started running again. This time I called. American Home Shield charges me 125 bucks every time a person comes out. I said, “I don't wanna pay 125 bucks this second time ‘cause the problem still hasn't been fixed.” They gave me the runaround. Because it was a new ticket, I had to pay every time. They said if it was the same ticket and it was not fixed, technicians could come out and that would not be problem. I wouldn’t have to pay for it. But I couldn't get through to them that if the first guy had just done his job right the first time, the problem would have been fixed.

    I was told, “Because the first guy put in a new flap, then he actually did work.” I would have to pay for that. I said, “Yeah, but he left. And the problem still existed. And if he had just done his job the first time, I wouldn't have had to make a new ticket ‘cause there was no reason to crawl under the house or all this stuff. I shouldn't have had to check all these boxes just for a new ticket.” It was hard to understand that I would have to pay $125.

    The first guy who came out actually came out again a third time. We had already talked to the contractor, Sundance, and American Home Shield. I ended up fixing the toilet before the guy came out. The running part was really easy to fix after the guy cleared the blockage. We sent him away and told him that it was fixed and he didn’t need to be there.

    I know American Home Shield is just doing their job and they probably have a list of guidelines. The rep I spoke with did go and talk to her manager and see if she could reimburse me. She was only doing what she could. She was nice enough and professional. Because there were two separate tickets, I got charged twice even though it was the same existing problem. It's hard because not every person knows to say, “Hey, come check out my whole toilet system, every pipe in the house.” Most people don't know what the specific problem is. That's what the technicians are supposed to come out and find. If you don't check the right box the first time, they can't do anything.

    American Home Shield’s whole plan is great as what I pay and the $125 for technicians to come out and fix it. But the way that they go about it is not very efficient. We've dealt with them before. We had a stove break down. It's a single plug-in appliance, so there's a box that says “Stove.” That claim was great. A technician came out and he put a new element in. The problem was solved. That was one of the easier things. But when it comes to plumbing, the shower, plumbing, sink are all connected. That part of it was very stressful.

    My refrigerator was not cooling, and everything in it had melted. I called American Home Shield, but the technicians couldn't come out until Friday afternoon. I had left my refrigerator unplugged and open because I didn't want to start having molds in there. The tech came out, plugged it back in and said that it was working. He sat there for a little bit and confirmed that it was working and would take a while to cool off.

    I waited for the weekend to see if it would cool down and the freezer would start working as well, but it did not. It was not working. I called Amtec the first thing Monday morning, and told them. The earliest appointment they had was Thursday, but of course, I worked my schedule around them the following week, and the only other times they had available were later in the week, and one being on a Friday afternoon again. The same guy came out and said it was something with the timer. He replaced it at that point and fixed it.

    I was frustrated that they didn't fix it the first time, so I had to call again and wait another entire week. They told American Home Shield that we rescheduled the appointment which was not the case. They came on the appointment but didn't accomplish anything. To me, that was not good service. Thankfully, that was not my primary refrigerator, but it is just as important to me. I store a lot of food there because we are a big family and I need two refrigerators.

    Overall, it's been good and I recommended American Home Shield to other neighbors, especially since our homes are a little bit on the older side and things are more apt to break. I was just very disappointed in the company that they contracted with and that came out.

    I work in real estate. And I’ve had Fidelity for about four years, and I wasn’t pleased with their service. So, I did some research, and that was why I changed my home warranty. I have an older house, so it was important that I had a home warranty on it for me.

    South Placer Heating and Air came out to tune-up an air conditioner. I do that service every year for a pre-season check. When I made the appointment, they called and they made the appointment with me. I told them what day would be best, and they made it for that day. The guy called when he was 13 minutes away, and then he texted when he was here. He was here for 40 minutes, and he was very pleasant and polite, and I felt comfortable in the house with him. I was happy with the tech and American Home Shield.

    The AC wasn't cooling the house. It was coming on, but it wasn't cooling the house. I put in a request online and they contacted me the next day. That's the fastest it could have been. Changing Winds sent a tech and he was okay. When he troubleshot, he put in Freon. I guess that did the trick because I have had no problem since then.

    When I bought my home, I needed to have a year of insurance. And what I have used them for, they've been very prompt and accommodating. The technicians have done a very nice job for what I've needed them for. The contractors are very professional. They answered all my questions. They were able to fix what I needed fixed. It was good. My main concern is that what they offer is limited. Now, I have condensation in my windows. They don't cover that, so things like that.

    We had an issue with one particular faucet where the water would not get hot. So, I submitted a claim to American Home Shield, which was easy. The technician was prompt. He came out the next day. He was also helpful and explained exactly what was going on, and made sure I understood. And we were able to set it to hotter water.

    The contractors sent out by American Home Shield came because the fan of my AC unit wasn't working properly. They arrived an hour after I initially called, and they resolved the issue. I experienced really good customer service. However, some of their representatives on the phone don't know English that well. During my first call, I told them that I was having electrical problems, and then they sent a plumber instead. They were able to correct it, but some of them don't understand what you're saying.
