    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.

    The contractor that AHS sent was great. He did a good job. The motherboard on the control panel went out. I called it on a Friday and he came Monday, and then he had to order the part, and it took about a week. Then he came back and got it fixed. He was very professional and friendly. We've been with AHS for 12 years now and I like that I can place the request online and someone calls me back pretty quickly and they come out and they fix it. Only one time I had an issue when my water heater went out, that was a nightmare ‘cause the company I was dealing with took forever to get the water heater. And we had to take really cold showers and it was very unpleasant. It was in the wintertime. And that was really frustrating, but that was the only time we had any issues. The rest of the time, it’s been pretty smooth.

    I submitted a claim to AHS because the dishwasher wasn’t working. This was back in December when we put in the first order. And then, Valley Pro came out. Then they said they need to order a part, which they apparently did, but it took a while for the part to come. Then they came and said that it was fixed but it wasn’t. Then we called them back, and then I don't know what happened, back and forth. But I found that it still wasn’t working. We've had Valley Pro before and there was no problem. I don't know what the issue was this time, in the service end of it. And so, when I called AHS back in March, I said, “Can we just have somebody else come out and check?” Then A & R Appliance Repair came out and they checked and worked at it. They said it was just a clog, they undid it and now, it works. I love American Home Shield. I have no problems with them. Whenever I called them, they listened and they followed up and got a different person.

    I bought the AHS coverage after my air conditioner went out. I had to pay for $8,000. I had a dishwasher that wasn’t working and that was my first claim. There were flashing lights. I put the claim in and within hours, they had somebody already assigned to it. The tech from Alpha Appliances came in the next day, saw what the problem was, and diagnosed it immediately that it was a touchpad. The guy knew what to do and his diagnosis was correct. He had to order another part. It was Friday and the part came Tuesday. He came back when that came in, he put it in, and everything’s good. The tech was totally professional and very attentive. The diagnostic process was very thorough, too. Everything happened earlier than I expected. I can’t complain about anything because it was done in a timely fashion.

    I called a claim in on a Sunday afternoon and I had gotten an email that AAction Air had been assigned to it. I also called AAction on their phone to let them know to expect an assignment. They were at my house at about 11 o’clock the next day. My air conditioning wasn’t cooling and the house kept getting hotter and hotter. They replaced the capacitor outside and it immediately began to cool. I had used Home Choice before and I did not like them. Their service was terrible.

    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. But that was something about electricity so an electrician came out. The electrician said it was all right so the part never came in. I then called and AHS sent me a new dishwasher. 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. They didn’t even look at the dishwasher. the guy that brought the first machine out also never even looked in the dishwasher. I'm satisfied and happy with American Home Shield itself, but I am not satisfied with the people they've sent out at all.

    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.

    Integrity Plumbing did a fabulous job. I was very pleased. We had a leak in the water heater, and I called American Shield on a Saturday evening when we discovered it. They told me that they would send somebody out. They also gave me the number of the company. 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. It was an easy process and I was very impressed because the fellas were very thorough and I don't have anything but praise for them and for American too.

When we had a service before this, we started having trouble with the dryer again immediately afterwards. I should have called back.

The person who came this last time was excellent and I’ve not had any problems or issues.

    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.

Other than that, a couple of my family members got the service because we got it. One time, we were without water and a guy from Sewer & Drain Services came out and fixed the issue. He made sure we had water, but when he was fixing it, I think he put some pressure on the pipe and it caused a little hole. A week later, they had to come back and fix it. They did a great job.

    It was pretty easy to submit the claim online. You just put in what the problem is. They offered quite a few different options as far as it breaks it down via system for you. 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.

    Harkins was on time and very professional. I still had to pay for my refrigerant because it was low but the tech gave good service. I feel like Home Shield covering $10 is not enough to pay for refrigerant, especially as it’s $9 a pound. Also, I’m paying a lot per month to still have to pay 125 before someone could come out to visit me.

    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.

    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.

    It's easy making claims with American Home Shield. I made one for my stovetop and someone from Appliance Superheroes came out in a day or two. The reviews for the company online were not good so I was concerned. I'm always concerned because I find when I file a claim with American Home Shield, it's not with a top-of-the-line repair person. It seems to be the people that need the jobs that are not really well-known. But the tech from Appliance Superheroes was fine and he did a good job. The appliance is fine now. It just took a week to get a part and that was my only disappointment. Other people that I had called before had the part in stock and came to fix it right away.

    We have an old house and AHS is for peace of mind. It’s a lot easier to submit claims online than to call. The first time I called, I was 38 weeks pregnant, and our water was messed up. It was miserable. We had to turn our water off and I was like, “I’m not taking cold showers, or no showers in the winter while I'm pregnant.” Our AC wasn’t cooling and US Air came for it. A rat or a squirrel had chewed one of the wires. They came after three or four days I submitted the claim. It was the earliest they had. They said last summer that next time it went out, the whole thing will have to be replaced, so for it to just be a wire, that was great.

    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.

    The bolts that hold the tank onto the toilet needed to be replaced, so the contracting company replaced them. 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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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 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.

    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.

    Everything was good with my plumbing claim. Our garbage disposal was leaking and we had to keep a bucket under there until it could get fixed. Considering everything that was going on, it took about a week to get the contractor out here. He was supposed to come out that morning, but he kept me up to date and came out about 7:00 that night and got it fixed.

    Drywall Masters came and fixed my leaking pipe. They had to break the drywall to do it, then they came and fixed it. Everything is good. That job is done. Then for my washer, the first time that the contractor came, they didn't fix it properly. Then I called them. I told them they're not going to charge my $100, etc. They came three times. Someone charged $100. They reimbursed the $100 again. Then I told them, the job is not done, so same situation. Then the third person came and he fixed it, but the washing machine still had some noise coming from the washing machine at the end of the cycle. That guy told me that we have to replace the sump underneath. That's where the vibration was coming from. They told me they were going to order the parts and everything that this situation I can call anyone to come and fix that one. They at least made some time. I'm not using the washing machine right now.

    The thing is, now, I don't know what to do. I can't bring a person to house. We don't know what's going on. We are in a blind spot monitor right now. Then, that company called me, "We are ready to come. We got the parts for the sump. We are coming tomorrow." I told them, "No. You can't come that day. You can't talk to anyone right now." Then they told me, "Oh, you have to call within three days. Otherwise, this job is cancelled." "What are you talking about? I'm going to talk to American Shield. They will take care of this one. That's your job. I will call them. I can't bring any people to fix this one right now. I want to fix it."

    The thing is, with the situation now, we can't bring anyone at home. We don't know who's coming with the disease and all. They called me one week ago. They wanted to come today, same date, but I told them not to. We don't know where the tech is coming from, what house he went before. But I want to fix that washing machine. It's very important.

    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.

    I had a problem with my under counter ice maker, and the claim submission to American Home Shield was good. The only problem I had was the first contractor that they had. I called the service in on a Monday or a Tuesday, and the tech, who was out of town, only serviced on Mondays in our area. So, there was a time delay on it. Then, the second time, the guy from Sears was very good and he came out the next day. The ice maker is now working great.

    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....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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. We didn’t have to wait. I even got a tracking link that told me where he was coming from so I would know when he was arriving. It was awesome.

    The thermostat went out and there were no digital numbers on the screen at all. We couldn't run it and we couldn’t do anything. We contacted American Home Shield and they got in touch with somebody to come out. BPM came out and it seemed like it was a domino effect of losing the Freon. It was a very old unit. I bought the house in August and this house was built in ’93, and I think it was the original unit. It was gonna cost us $750 that wouldn’t be covered by American Home Shield because they would only do a pound or two. They offered us an option of a plan and we could apply what they would have paid for repairs to a new unit, which is what we did because I wasn’t gonna spend $750 on a unit that’s 27 years old.

    We had them put in a new air conditioning and heat pump up in the attic and an outside unit. They let us deduct what American Home Shield would have paid from the total cost of the new unit and we had to pay the difference. The guy said that American Home Shield would just repair and repair and they don’t like to replace. It cost us $4,000, but I feel like that was just the best thing to do. Now, we have a new unit and hopefully, we won't have any issues for a long time.

    Having coverage with AHS is very easy. I don’t have to start shopping for people. When I need something fixed, I will just pay the service fee, and usually, the people that they send are very professional. My service fee is a little high. But the stuff that I need to get fixed is usually more so I’m very happy with their service. They’re usually very responsive.

    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.

    The electricity from our house to our shed wasn’t working. When making a claim with American Home Shield, you just go online and put in what you want. It’s not a really detailed request. You just say it’s an electrical issue, they’ll give you a few options and you put it in. They have the person call you up and set up the appointment. It’s been pretty easy. For this particular claim, I was assigned to Cook-Craftsman Enterprises. The tech figured out it was just because the breaker was tripped. That was easy. There was also another light that would not come on and he traced it down to our ground wire being disconnected.

    The only part I had issues with was with a plumbing problem. Because of the COVID, the first plumber that AHS called said they wouldn’t come into the house and it was an inside leak. They had an appliance guy call and I told them that they can't fix our ice maker. We were just getting the house ready to move in. There was no refrigerator to fix. AHS had to go back and find a plumber that would actually come into the house. With the one that came out, I couldn’t ask for a nicer person. He went above and beyond. He even checked out our well, which he didn’t have to, to make sure everything was okay.

    The plumbers checked out the spigots outside and other things in the house as well to make sure they're okay. The guy turned on the water to make sure that all the lines are fine. He found a leak in one of the toilets so we had to replace the seal on that. We wouldn’t have known about that until we turned on the water. The guy already fixed that. I’ve been really pleased with the people AHS chose.

    The only thing is when you call the company itself, you get somebody that speaks very foreign and broken English and they have a script. When you ask them a yes or no question, they cannot give you a yes or no answer. They just repeat what they’ve got on their script to say. I asked them that if we couldn't find a plumber that would come inside because of the COVID, were they going to extend our warranty? We were trying to get it done during the warranty and if it didn't get done until after the warranty expired, were they going to honor it because of the COVID virus. All the rep kept saying was “We’ll make sure we get it fixed.” She never gave me a yes or no answer.

    I was very unhappy with that customer service call and their customer service. But it doesn’t matter. They got it fixed anyway. Despite that, I would still recommend AHS because the people that they had come out were excellent. They were prompt. The electrician called us up and said, “Hey, we are your electrical contractor. We got a guy that could be headed your way. Would that be okay?” They had somebody all ready to go when they called.

    I called Home Shield at around 7:00 that morning and they said, "Hey, they don't open 'till 9:00." My grandmother was in the house so not having any heat was a big deal. Air First was at my house within an hour and they didn't even open until 9:00. Air First Mechanical was great. We've been doing this with Home Shield for a while now and it was definitely one of the better experiences.

    The only issue I've ever had is with another contractor. They came out for our water heater that went out. Home Shield said they would cover another one and we had to pay 500 out of pocket. So, we gave the contractor the 500 but the guy never came back. We had the company calling and they said the tech just quit on the spot. They didn't have anybody out for a couple of days without it because we had already paid them. So, there was really nothing Home Shield could do. It was out of their hands. They gave us a free service call and I made two for that. They should do a better job screening the contractors. I know that's hard to do, but the recent contractor is one of the better ones.

    When we call, I would like to see that the people who we talk to were more knowledgeable about coverage. Sometimes they didn't know until the contractor actually came out. When we sign up, I would like to see a list of, "Hey, we do cover your water heater if this happens. So, we don't pay for these parts. So, estimated cost or average cost of the hot water out of pocket is X amount." Just so we know because in the insurance industry overall, people just assume the whole thing is covered and there's no out of pocket. You just pay your deductible and that's it, and that's sometimes not the case. I would just like to see more of it just so that I personally know what I'm dealing with. If I thought I only had 100 and I got to shell out 500, that's a big difference on parts that aren't covered.

    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 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.

    On Saturday, December 21, 2019 upon returning home around 9:30PM, I found a flood in a guest room, a result of a drain backup. When I called AHS for emergency plumbing service, and after having given a payment of $75 for the this, I was told that a contractor would call me within 4 hours. When no one called back, first thing the next morning I called again. The agent (judging by the accent and grammar, at a foreign service center) said that the fact that no one called meant that no contractor was available and, understanding that this was an emergency, I should call my own plumber (as long as they are not on a “do not use list” of six local-area plumbers she named) and submit the bill with reference to an OSA Dispatch Number she provided.

    The contractor I contacted started work within two hours to minimize damage and worked most of the day to resolve the problem. For this, I paid him in full, $750. At 4PM the day FOLLOWING THE COMPLETED REPAIR (12/23/19), I received an email from AHS confirming the authorization to use an independent contractor and listing among other requirements that the contractor call AHS to have the work preapproved. At no time prior to this was I told of this requirement. When following all other protocol I submitted the bill for reimbursement, it was denied for the lack of preapproval.

    After spending countless hours on the phone being passed from department to department and supervisor to super-supervisor, I was told to track down the contractor and have him call in to provide the diagnosis and dispatch number, which he did. Further countless hours and emails later, my claim is still being denied for the same lack of preapproval (one supervisor authorized repayment of the $75 fee). I was advised that the case has been closed. Attempts to cancel my policy (in a 52-MINUTE phone call !!!) were not successful as the agent informed me that he has no authority to do that and someone would call me back. In another phone call I was told that a service charge of one month’s premium would be charged.

    ABM Appliances & Electronic Services came out to fix an icemaker. I submitted the claim over the phone to American Home Shield and their reps were great.

So, I called back and nobody called me back for a bit, and I had to call them again and left a message.

    Then, the manager of the place insisted that they had changed the icemaker. But I knew that they had not. So, it was like some tag back-and-forth between him and his guy. And then, finally, the guy said that he had not changed the icemaker. So, he made an appointment to come out. I worked two jobs at the moment, so it was hard to get them to commit. Then, they gave me a time window and the guy was running behind on his time window. I was going to have to go to work, so I told him that he needed to be here because it was at the end of the window and they still had not arrived. But they finally came and changed the icemaker on the four trip. So, it is fixed. Overall, I’ve been pleased with American Home Shield.

    I had American Home Shield a number of years ago in another state and I was not happy with them at all. There were no local contractors, so they would tell me that it would take two weeks out to get any kind of service. And when I tried to use a local vendor, they refused to pay. So far, I'm a lot happier this time around. When I had a water leak and a gas leak, everything went great with the claim. The contractor had good communication, showed up on time, and fixed the problem.

    My garbage disposal wasn't turning on so I called AHS and they sent out Hers & His Plumbing to handle it. That claim went wonderfully. The tech was a young gentleman and he was very considerate. He did a very nice job and it took him about an hour and a half to put it together. Two years ago, I had an issue with AHS. But as of right now, I haven't had anything with them so far. They handled my claim quite well so I’m pretty satisfied with them.

    My furnace air conditioning kept going off. We would flip the switch and it would run for a while but then click off again. That went on and on and we decided that something had to be wrong because it wouldn't run according to the thermostat. I submitted a claim to AHS and their tech from Myers Comfort Specialists of Birmingham came and he was very thorough. He spent a lot of time looking at the machine and said that there was a pipe out of the unit that was originally 4 inches wide. At some point, somebody reduced that opening to three inches. The unit had an air duct that took the air somewhere. The pressure would build up in the unit because it didn't have four inches of space for the pressure to exit.

    He said that the issue was something that American Shield’s not gonna pay for to repair. He told me he was gonna hang around to watch my unit for a while and be sure that what he thought was the problem was the problem. He hung around probably over an hour but it never cut off while he was here. He told me that if it cuts off again, I am not to do anything. He said if I flip the switch back on, the system erases the code that would tell us what the real problem is. The next time it cuts off, I should call AHS and tell them to send him back out so that he could see what the code was.

    I asked if we had to pay another $75 deductible for him to come back and look at the code. He told me that was the way AHS works and that I would have to do that. That was where we left it because he said that’s the only way they could really know if his analysis was correct or if there was something else wrong with it. The tech was young but he seemed to be very on top of things and trying to figure it all out. He was polite too and what he said made sense to me and I'm someone who knows nothing about heating and air units.

    We called AHS another time about some plumbing and our experience then was okay. The young man who came didn't recommend that anything else be done. So far, I've been really pleased with AHS because in the house I lived in had a different warranty company. I had a lot of problems with that company. So, in comparison, I feel like American Home Shield has been good.

    I discovered AHS when I bought a condo and my real estate agent recommended that I get an AHS warranty for a year. Since then, I've kept my coverage going and now I'm 49. Most recently, my microwave wasn't heating. It was making a funny sound as well. AHS sent CK Appliance Repair. Home Shield's online system has been very easy to use. I don’t need to call for a repair for a microwave. I just put the claim in and AHS takes care of it. The contractors they send are always polite and appropriate. I ask a lot of questions and they’re always really receptive and happy to teach me. The contractor I got ordered a new frame for my microwave and when it came, it was bent. Luckily, the old one still fit so we just used that. I just wanted my microwave to work.

    The faucet on my kitchen sink was broken. I called American Home Shield and the rep was polite. Golden State Plumbing Service Inc. came out to do service and they kept in contact. There was a problem with the faucet ordering though. Still, the tech put everything back under the sink which was an extra service.

    AHS assigned Total Air Care to our claim and they had a great technician. We talked and he was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He did his thing. Everything was great. The problem ended up being one of the wires from the thermostat in the house. He said it happens. It's one of those rare occurrences where one of the wires goes bad. But he went through the whole system and he said, "I bet you this is what it is." He walked right to it.

    AHS is very prompt as far as getting to the needs. I will probably go ahead and renew with them. I'm pretty satisfied from this point. The only problem we had was doing the AHS survey. When the technician was here, we were trying to complete it but it would get to a point where we just hang up. I checked my wireless system and everything was functioning properly. The technician tried to come up on the system on his individual phone but was unable to. There was something going on. They could've been working on the system or updating it at that time. Eventually, I got on there and I completed two surveys now.

    AHS has been useful to have. I've had it for nine years and I've had a number of appliances go bad that they covered. When we had a GFI switch outlet go bad, I replaced it but it wasn’t working so I had to call an electrician out. AHS sent out Sin Jac Electric and the tech was very good. He explained it to me. He got the problem fixed and was in and out within 20 minutes. The outlet's working great now.

    When my AC went out, I spoke with a live AHS representative. He gave me a date and time when to expect the contractors. Total Air Care came out and they were a good company.

    When our AC was not turning on, we made a claim online and the site was extremely user-friendly. I also expected a phone call back in 24 hours, then I was told that the tech from A-US Air Conditioning would be out to examine the unit three days later. He was extremely professional and friendly. Everything went according to plan and it was on time too.

    Gilmore, the contractor AHS sent got to me within 48 hours. The guy who came was Bryan. I also had a previous contractor that came out, but they weren’t able to resolve the issue that I had with the dishwasher. However, they were pretty good as well. They escalated the claim to someone certified on the particular brand that I had, which was Gilmore.

    Bryan was very knowledgeable and knew what to do immediately and stated what his fix was. If that didn’t work, then that would be the next course of action. I didn't have to wait and say that it didn't work and then have somebody else come out. He did his course of action. Some parts had to be replaced. He came in a relatively quick time and exchanged them, but that wasn’t a solution. He then said that the dishwasher would need to be replaced because, at that point, he would be kinda trying to track down a wire, which would be too tedious and time-consuming. I was very satisfied with him.

    I've had AHS for a long time from the other house I had when I lived at Apache junction up to when I moved to Florence. We've had a bad plumber sent by AHS once and some of the people who came aren't really professionals. Another time, we had a problem with our washing machine and that took us almost a whole year before it was resolved. The problem was due to a bad vendor. The techs sent came and repaired our washing machine. But then, instead of replacing something, they just patched it up and went on. But still, any issues we've had have always been corrected.

    More recently, the top burners of our stove went bad. The tech AHS sent from AKS Appliance got here when he said he would He had to back order the part needed but as soon as it got to our location, he came and took care of it. We were very satisfied with him and with Home Shield. This warranty is worth having and I've recommended it to other people.
