The Repair Shack has been here about eight times. We have two ovens and one oven broke about four times, and then the other oven, they can’t replace it. They couldn’t find the parts needed to fix it. So, we’re working with American Home Shield to try and get the replacement of the oven. They recommended one which is a convection. The Repair Shack fixed our refrigerator. A couple things went wrong with it, so they had to wait for parts. They fixed it kind of incrementally. The Repair Shack was very helpful and very quick. AHS has been great. We appreciate having it and all the repairs they’ve done. Everything’s good.

I've had American Home Shield ever since I moved to Arizona. I was with them on and off for 15 years. There were a couple of years that I didn't own a home. But every time I own one, I use them. I'd tell neighbors to get the home warranty. American Home Shield is perfect and I love them. I called them when my unit was running continuously with no heat. They were fabulous. It was freezing cold around here and they had somebody out right away to fix my unit for me. Their contractors were wonderful too. They were really nice. When they left the place, everything was exactly like they found it.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your warranty needs. Have an amazing week.

The AC was not working and it happened the Friday, we put in the claim, and the contractor didn’t come out until the Monday. And then they came out the wrong time. When the tech came in, he said that he was trying to do the AC leak. He said that AHS only pays for a certain percentage for the refrigerant so we had to pay 400 for it. They told us if anything happened within 30 days, we’d have to call them back. We don’t have to go through the claim because they are responsible for it if anything happened within the 30 days. We had to call them back because the leak wasn’t the main problem. When he came, we couldn’t get to turn on the unit because the screen for the thermostat had blanked out. He replaced the thermostat.
The last time when we called them back, the guy said that he detected a leak under the house. He kept going into his van to make a phone call. So when he came out and he told me that the guy said that he filled it all the way up, but he is detecting that it’s a little bit low, which I didn’t understand all of that. So the guy checked something and then he went into the van again and then he come back for the machine, on the lines under the house and said he detects a leak, which from since then, it was still chill around here so we didn’t get to put on the cooling system as much. But we put on the cooling system Sunday and it was working. It was blowing cold air to me, so I don’t understand what’s going on with them. But for some reason, it’s not heating the house like when we first got here after that incident happened.

We had American Home Shield on a previous house a few years back and we have them now on our house. We just closed on it just two weeks ago. We had a leak on our water heater and we made a claim with AHS. It was really easy to do online. They were able to get a contractor out pretty quickly. It was J & K Plumbing and their guy was here in 50 minutes. He fixed the problem and it was quick and easy. Everything went really well.

American Home Shield was the top of my Google search and I've had them for a couple of months now. I called in a claim and their process was easy and straightforward. I have a plumbing stoppage and I just called them yesterday on that. They had the plumber call me and the earliest they could come out is in a week. I'm kind of fighting with them right now about a more reasonable timeframe to get someone to clear a plumbing stoppage right now. This was a bit frustrating. They're supposed to call me back. I'm sort of in limbo right now. Other than the timeliness of vendors for service, my experience was okay.
We do apologize for this issue and we will take into consideration this matter.Thanks for letting us know how everything is going so far.

Our garage door mechanism quit working. It wasn’t opening and the gears wouldn’t pull the door up. We originally called a local garage door person and we were just gonna have it fixed, but nobody would ever get back with us. So then, I said, “You know, we have this home warranty. I wonder if it’s under the home warranty.” We looked it up and it said it was. We called American Home Shield and within a day, people were corresponding with us. It was very good. They assigned American Door Masters for this claim and they were really good. We were very impressed with them. They responded and kept in touch with us. They were really on it.

We had an Amana dryer that wasn't working and we submitted a claim to AHS. They sent JR Appliance to do service. Both the first and second technician who came from there were very professional and courteous. The first guy said that he had to get a kit for it. JR came back and the second guy repaired my dryer. It worked for a day but then it stopped again. I called JR yesterday and left a message but I haven't heard anything from them yet. Still, AHS seems to be on top of things.

American Home Shield sent someone from Shapiro Appliance who fixed everything. I sent a message to the lady who helped me, Portia. She reached out and helped me get another company that could take care of the problem sooner, which I really appreciated. I told her everything was closed. I had a sheet that somehow got stuck under the agitator in the washing machine and it broke. The tech had to take it out and take it apart and put it back together again. I couldn't do that. He was great, very patient talking to me and very professional.
My only issue with your company is my premium went up substantially from like 800 to 1,023. And they said, “Too bad.” I can’t even count how many years I've had AHS. We had it a lot of years in my other house and I like the convenience that they pick the contractors, that I don’t have to deal with contractors. You send me somebody, and if I don’t like them or I don’t like the work they do, I call and you’ll send somebody else out.

All-American Plumbing people were first-rate. They not only were knowledgeable and efficient, they wore uniforms. They were very pleasant. It’s head and shoulders the best vendor we’ve had out here in some time. However, it’s extremely difficult to get through to Home Shield, which I'm sure is partially by design. We have a major problem that is associated with a water leak in our Sub-Zero refrigerator. Water leaks from apparently what is supposed to be a drain line at the back of the thing accumulates at the bottom of the fridge and freezes. And eventually, you can’t close the vegetable drawer and you have to turn it off and go in, use a hairdryer and melt the ice, and there it goes.
We had more than three calls from the same folks about that and they tried to repair that with a variety of different ways, but nothing worked. Last fall, they finally gave up and said that the contractor was going to recommend to Home Shield that the refrigerator would be replaced. But then, nothing happened. So then, I called several times and talked to Judy at one time, and half a dozen other people, and was told that there was some glitch in my contract coverage. The contract was good through November 29th, 2019 and the problem began in May of 2019. So, I don't see where there was a glitch in it. The contract is extended from 11-29-19 to 11-29-20 so I’ve had constant coverage.
I’ve been a member for several years and they were not going to replace the refrigerator. Yet the service people told me that they had recommended this some time before October. So, the refrigerator continues to leak. It doesn't do any good to pay $100 and have a service guy out here because they do exactly what we do, which is to melt the ice, get the ice out of there, and start all over again. Every four weeks, I have to take the vegetable drawer out and melt a big block of ice down there and get it out, and then go back to refrigerating.
I’ve spoken with folks at Home Shield's phone line twice and they said there was no supervisor. I couldn’t escalate it anymore. This has just been a constant problem. I have not been able to get anywhere. In fact, I looked up the home address of Home Shield, which is in Memphis, Tennessee, to try to get in touch with somebody out there that actually would deal with this because the folks at their phone line take orders for appliance repair but they're not equipped to deal with anything that goes any further than that. Apparently, there’s nobody on-site to deal with it.
One of the difficulties is that when you call these people, it can be up to 45 minutes on hold before you have somebody on the phone. So, if you're busy, it’s specifically designed to keep you from harassing them or bothering them. So, in the event that if you do finally get to someone on the phone line, and then, they look on the computer screen and they say, “Well, we can’t do anything about that,” or “We’re not gonna do anything about it, or “Your contract doesn't cover that,” which is baloney because my contract covered everything.
You are supposed to get a webchat, but that has been very unrewarding so far. It has all been, “You’ll need to talk to somebody else or something like that.” I recognize that this kind of company is dealing with people who are upset because there’s something wrong with their house, and they may not like the vendors and so forth, so there are probably a lot of dissatisfied, complaining people out there in the world, and Home Shield is not going to make it easy for these dissatisfied, complaining people to get ahold of somebody and continue to complain. But there ought to be something on that exceptional website they got about how to escalate something off the chain if you can’t get things worked out with the folks at the end of the phone
You talk to the people who are in the Philippines in their call center and they try to be pleasant. They got a script that they read from so they were trying to be pleasant. But there’s nothing that they can or will do about this. In fact, the last two service visits for the refrigerator were from the people I spoke with. That’s all they could do - to get another service call. The last time the guy showed up and he said, “I’m not even gonna look at your refrigerator. I’ve been here three or four times. I know what’s wrong with it. We’ve already requested that they replace it. There’s no reason for me to do anything.” That has been an issue since last August or September.
Except for this refrigerator thing, my experience has worked out fine. American Home Shield’s service has been reasonably efficient and pretty good, and we’ve been satisfied with most of the vendors. I’ve been using the internet where you tell people you have a problem and you want something fixed. That seems to work okay, but this one issue as far as my refrigerator is concerned has really been very unsatisfactory because there has been no way to deal with this effectively. It’s a dichotomy thing.
I apologize for the inconvenience as I can certainly understand your frustration. My name is Stacy and I've emailed you in an effort to assist with resolving your issue. I look forward to connecting with you.

The pump seal was leaking. There was water underneath the pump. The other thing that was happening was that the filter was draining. It was suctioning back into the pool. So I replaced the gasket myself on the pump basket. But it was still losing suction. I noticed that there was some water everyday out there. So I figured it was a little bit more than I could handle. I sent in a claim and I got J & J Pool, but I couldn’t replicate the problem at that time and I didn’t know what was going on why the filter was suctioning back to the pool. So I cancelled that service and I got refunded the $100. I called Hayward Pump and tried to ask them about the filter and they said I had a leak. So when I went back out there, I saw where the leak was. I went back online again and I was assigned Alchemist Pool.
The tech did everything the first time through. I was there with him because I like to watch so I can do it myself. He took out the parts, put on the new gaskets, and put it back in. It went back in the first time, and he was very efficient. I’m having a problem with the limit switch, and I gotta figure that one out right now. But he said he couldn’t look at it because it’s electrical. He could only work on the mechanical part and that I would have to enter another service order for an electrical problem.
When I bought the house in 2013, there was already a contract open on it with American Home Shield. So I just took it over. I don’t have to pay for the big repair items. But I don’t like the fact that the price went up to $73. It kinda took a big jump, but then again, I don’t get hit with a big repair bill. When I had my refrigerator worked on, at least somebody came out, fixed it, and it was done. I’ve actually thought about cancelling and looking for somebody else, but so far, they’ve been responsive and it’s been very easy.

I had no heat and I originally submitted the claim online and that it was either the heat pump or the furnace. I also called in the morning to clarify that I didn’t have three days to wait for it to be shipped around to contractors at the beach and they would choose not to come. I specifically requested the Clean Air folks that had been here before ‘cause they operate on the east side of town. The same gentleman who fixed the heat pump came out and determined that it was the blower on my furnace and replaced it. It’s now running 100% the time and I’ve got heat. Even though I had to make another call for clarification, everybody was on top of it and I got the assistance that I needed. The appropriate vendor was contacted, it was scheduled, and the technician arrived in a timely manner and fixed the problem. It went smoothly overall.

The compressor of the refrigerator broke so my husband called AHS to submit a claim. The contractor that came out was awesome. Their service was excellent. Unfortunately, it takes forever to get the parts from LG. So, we were without a refrigerator for two weeks. But once the part came in, American Home Shield called right away that they had the part and then they scheduled the repairman, which was the same guy, to come back the next day and he fixed it. It was a great experience. Other than when a bad company came out to fix our furnace, we’ve been happy so far with AHS.

On this house, we've had American Home Shield for 12 years. I’m always ready to quit but then I rethink it and we stay on. I like the warranty for ordinary things like the refrigerator and the stove. But if the claim is for a high-ticket item, the company tends to say they can repair it and then we end up taking cash in lieu of it and buy a whole new system. The guy from AT Appliances was excellent though. The temperature was out of whack in the refrigerator. We opened it up and it was too warm. So then I called American Home Shield and they sent him out. He temporarily fixed it, ordered the part and then came back and installed it. It was very good. Getting the part took a day. It was overnight.

The furnace was not turning up even though the thermostat would show 70. I called the 24-hour number Saturday morning to see if AHS could get somebody in. They gave me a notice that they were gonna charge me $100 for each call. They charged my bank account then I automatically got a text message that Sierra Mechanical would be coming in. The tech came in later that afternoon and got it done. He knew what the problem was and he also knew what he was doing. The sensor that communicates with the thermostat was dirty and all he did was clean it. It took him about 10 minutes then everything started working. I thought he could even replace a sensor, but he said AHS doesn't allow that unless the sensor is really broken or cracked, and that wasn’t the case.
I’ve called in 3 times for my icemaker. The contractor comes in and changes the icemaker. It works for just a little bit, then that’s that. Now, I turn the icemaker off for about 3 days then turn it back on, and it will just make a tray of ice one time, and that’s it. I didn't know that I have 50 days to call for the same issue. I thought every call was gonna be $100, so I just let it be. But this time that I called this, I wanna make sure that they really take everything apart and try to figure it out because I’m getting tired of calling in so many times.

We had a bathroom sink that wouldn't drain. We submitted a claim for it on Friday morning to AHS and their contractor, Patriot, was gonna try to come out that afternoon.

American Home Shield sent Allstate Plumbing Colorado to fix the water heater in the basement. The water heater was flooding. They checked. There was one pipe that was busted. The guy was very good and professional. He came in and he knew exactly what the problem was. He got measurement, got the parts, and got it fixed. Initially, I went to American Home Shield's website and then tried to put up my claim. It appeared to me that the nature of the repair was not mentioned in their website. So, I chose the closest appliances that I had, and it turned out that it was something different. They chose something like a heating and cooling company. And then I tried to call this heating and cooling company for the whole of Sunday. I left several messages too, and the company never came in.
I thought I better talk to somebody on 800 on a personal basis too. So, I called American Home Shield and they immediately figured out what the problem was, and then they suggested Allstate Plumbing to me. That was Sunday night. The next morning, they called me and they set up an appointment. The guy came in before the appointment. So, it worked out really well. I’m fully satisfied with American Home Shield. As for the contract they gave me, I chose a plan to pay $100. So, they just deducted $100 after the repair, and everything worked out very good.

I’ve been under American Home Shield’s program for a few years now. I have 12 items that are set up under the program. It’s nice that you can call and they can come out right away to resolve the problem. The filter was leaking every time the ice maker came on and the technician that AHS sent was stating that the ice maker needs to be changed out every six months. He was very good, sufficient and quick-moving. He took care of the problem and told me about it. He showed me how to take it out and how to insert the filter for when the six months are up.
The technician left me with the old filter so I could have the box and told me exactly where to go if I need to get another one should this problem arise again but he also said that if I can stay with the six months and changing it, I’ll be fine. I can turn my ice maker on now. I had it off for a couple of years and I ended up buying some ice trays because I was trying to wait to make sure no other appliances were acting up. It’s kinda bad when you call for just one item but it’s been nothing else.

The tech who came for my refrigerator was absolutely on time. He came up and I showed him what was wrong. Then he did his own investigation. The sensors that when you keep the refrigerator door open too long had broken off and the gaskets were worn. He reordered new ones and told me that when he got them, he would be back. A few days later, he called, said he had them, asked for an appointment, came over, and put them on. He also replaced the gaskets.

When I push the button, the garage door only goes up about 4 inches and then stops. Either it goes back down or just stays where it was. It wouldn't open or close any more than that. I got stuck in my garage and I had to manually open it in the morning. Submitting the claim to American Home Shield was straightforward. I like having the option to choose my contractor. All these happened on a Thursday and I put in the request on a Friday. I didn't know how fast somebody would be able to come out and see me so it was nice to try and find a contractor that would have a time that would fit my schedule because some of the ones that were provided weren't open on Saturday. But it was easy getting the guy out there.
As soon as I put in the request, that company was calling me in 20 minutes saying they could be out there within the hour. Then, American Home Shield was sending me emails and letting me know that the contractor was on the way. There was full communication from beginning to end and with as much other stuff I'm dealing with right now, that it was like that was such a breeze to deal with. I'm very thankful I went ahead and bought the more expensive policy because everything was covered with the garage door. Everything but the door and the track was covered, so the guy was able to mess with the spring. It's great.
Thanks for contacting us during this time and sharing your experience. We do appreciate all feedback. We are pleased to know that this was done in a timely manner and the time frame was suitable for you. Thank you and Have a Great day.

I had a plumbing issue where AHS sent Johnson Plumbing out for. They did really well and I liked them more than anybody I’ve ever used. They were prompt, very knowledgeable in what they were doing, and they brought equipment with them for whatever reason they needed. So, I’m very pleased with them.

My dryer didn’t start. It had power and the LED is on, but when I press the button to start, it didn’t. I did an online claim to American Home Shield, and they sent At Home Services within 24 hours.

My fiancé and I both quickly came to the point where we DESPISED calling American Home Shield after less than 3 months of having them. American Home Shield hired a contractor to replace our hot water heater. Contractor chosen for us by AHS. This contractor spoke very poorly of American Home Shield and first asked to reschedule our appointment and then showed up 3 hours late. After he already rescheduled one other time before. Did a poor job of connecting piping (pic attached).
Reported issue FOUR TIMES to AHS over a month and a half period. Was PROMISED a call back from every representative I spoke to. Not a single call back was received. Called to cancel 2/28/2020 after only starting service 12/02/2019 because of the incredibly POOR SERVICE received from American Home Shield. American Home Shield FAILED in staying true to their promise of taking care of their customer and calling me back. Asked the amount of refund I should be expecting for the 21 months of service I did not use prior to cancellation. Representative informed me that there would be no refund. NO REFUND!! Then she stopped and saw that I had a two year contract. I asked her why anybody would choose to cancel a contract without receiving a refund and she could not answer that question. Said she would check on my account further and call me back.
Called back 30 minutes later to inform me that she cancelled my contract. I would not be receiving a refund and could not reverse her action. I DID NOT ASK TO HAVE MY CONTRACT CANCELLED WITHOUT A REFUND. No one would. My only other option is to speak to sales and PAY for another contract. Shortly thereafter my fiancé received an email stating we now owe a cancellation of $95 to AHS. I could not speak to a manager. And she could not reverse her action even though that was not performed per my request. Most all operators are oversees and have a hard time of understanding the issue or reading notes in the system. Cancellation fee when you cancel and no refund; even after only using 21 months of a 24 month contract.

We had the refrigerator and the stovetop fixed. The contractors came on time and did a good job of repairing both within the hour. The workman's name is Roger and his assistant is Collin. The refrigerator would stop working and Roger found out that there was some kind of shortage on the outlet behind the refrigerator. I also kept burning my food. So he first thought it was a fuse on the stovetop and then he realized that what was actually wrong was the knobs were not placed properly. Roger was very professional and he did a good job. They were good. I need to call them back to ask them about my ice maker because it is making so much noise.

The people who came out to fix our dryer were very good. I was very pleased. The first time the guy came out, he had the dryer running and doing well. But when we tested it, we only tested it in the normal cycle since we figured the sensors were burned out. He checked the sensors and replaced them, and the dryer worked fine. But then it just stopped working. So I sent another report. We thought the repairman probably should've replaced another part. He came back out and the element was gone. He replaced the other element and again, it worked for about a day and a half. We ran several loads but then my wife needed to do a light load and as soon as she switched it over, the system burned out.
When I told the repairman, he said “Aha. So you've been paying attention." I try to pay attention. Electronics are tricky and you really have to pay attention to them. I'm retired military and I'm used to electronics. But not many people would be really paying that much attention to it. The repairman checked the dryer and sure enough, the part was gone. The dryer apparently had a problem with its circuit board. But they were not able to get a new panel for it so they said they would have to replace the dryer. Then since our washer is the same brand anyway and just as old, we decided that we would spend the extra money ourselves and replace both washer and dryer so that they would look alike. It’d be more pleasing to look at.
We've been with American Home Shield for a little longer than a year now. We decided we were just gonna have to do American Home Shield after the compressor of our refrigerator went. We had it replaced and the compressor was within the 10-year warranty so that was taken care of but we still had to pay about $400 for the service fee and the maintenance people to repair it. But normally, it would have been a 1,000-dollar job. The compressor itself was a 500 to 600-dollar item. When we got the home, the neighbors said we ought to just go ahead and do American Home Shield. One of them said they had shopped around and settled for American Home Shield. This is the first time we’ve actually had to use them and we're quite happy with them.
The only problem I had with submitting a claim online was that the first time I went on there, I also had a dishwasher that needed to have some repair but I had to file a separate repair order for that. I guessed that was normal but on the third time, I was told I should be able to submit more than one on a work order. When I clicked the button for that, everything else was locked out though. I could not submit anything else.
Aside from that, there was only one thing that blew me a little bit. Once I was told American Home Shield was gonna replace the dryer, I got an email that said they had closed out the account and I had a form asking me to rate the maintenance people. It said, “Hey, your thing is fixed. How about rating me on the work that I did?” I went, “Whoa! What is this?” I totally missed a step and I called the guy that did the work and he explained.
The maintenance man should have a box that they can check, saying, “Closing out the account. American Home Shield will contact you for further service or replacement.” If it said that when that email came to me, I would know then that I would grade the maintenance person on the work they did and American Home Shield would contact me. The maintenance person should have a box that something is marked "fixed" or "not reparable". American Home Shield's system needs to do something to let us know that they would close out that account but they are still going to continue working with us to replace the item. It would give the customer a little bit more ease instead of thinking American Home Shield was leaving the customer hanging with a broken piece of equipment. It's just a glitch in the system that can be fixed if somebody paid attention to it.
Nobody from American Home Shield followed up with me right away either. About a day and a half after I had spoken to my maintenance guy, then American Home Shield did contact, which my man had already said they would do. But the minute they closed that account, the email was here right away and I was sitting there saying it was not fixed. I could’ve called American Home Shield to find out what was going on but it was actually easier when I called the maintenance guy's number. It’s a lot harder sometimes getting ahold of a person at a bigger company. If I call their number, sometimes I get voicemail. I had also established rapport with my maintenance man.
Still, I was very satisfied. As far as when American Home Shield did contact me, everything has been fantastic. I was given all the options of what I could do. They could do the replacement or I could do the replacement and send them the data. At this point, we've already purchased a washer and dryer but we aren’t quite happy with it. It’s bigger than what we need and it doesn’t fit right in our space. But we have 30 days to exchange it so we’re gonna be contacting the dealership and have them get a smaller one. Once we have that, we would have the proper numbers and we will submit that number to American Home Shield.

I had no heat and my unit would try to start up but it could not ignite. So, you could hear it trying to start up and it would blow for a little bit, but it would never catch on and blow warm air. I called AHS, got a case number, then the technician came out. But the problem was, the heating system would come on during the day and would not come on at night. That was the hard part because people don't work at night. You have to be able to replicate the problem and if someone were to come out during the day, the heat would be working.
So, I had to kind of explain that in a lot of detail and a lot of urgency to the people who were to come out. And I didn't realize this at first. After a few calls and not having to cancel finally, I figured out what was going on and I was able to contact somebody. I had them come out really early first thing and Staunton River was able to do that. They were great. Everybody was also so helpful at AHS. I called them a number of times and had to cancel. Then, one lady kept helping me try to look up other people who might be able to help though she didn't have to do that. So, that's hard to find these days and I appreciate it.

The guy was straightforward and he did not waste any time. He said what they were looking at, what it was going to require, and that I needed new pipes.

I had a leaking bathroom pipe and my shut-off valves to the water weren’t working. Also, I had to change the showerheads. It's always good whenever I called Home Shield. They have good customer service reps and you just tell them what you need and they just send somebody out. Also, they always send me an email and tell me how far the contractor is out, how close he is to my house, if he's gonna be there in five minutes or whatever, and so does Rick, the plumber from Tavor, who always called me, too. I had them before and I wish every time I called in about plumbing, I get the same person.
If you have a 10 o’clock appointment, usually, people would either show up at 10:00 or a little after. He's always early because he came out and checked what needed to be done the next day after I talked to Home Shield. And then he saw what had to be done, and he just told me, “Okay. When I am gonna submit, whatever it is, and Home Shield will say it's okay to go on and do it, and I'll get all my stuff.”
He then called me when it was all done, and he said he would be out on Wednesday, told me the time, then he was here at least 15, 20 minutes early, or maybe earlier, and he went on and fix the showerhead because the condo didn’t turn the water off until 10 o’clock. He did other stuff he had to do that did really need the water shut off. So, about 10 minutes to 10:00 I called the home office down the hill from me, then they sent someone up and he went downstairs with him, and the guy showed him how to turn the water on and off. That way, after he finished the work, he could check it and make sure it was working. So, everything worked out fine. I have no more leaks and if I had to turn my water off, I don’t have to worry about having to call the condo office and have them send a plumber over to do it. All my shut-off valves are working.

I had two back-to-back claims with American Home Shield. The one for the AC went well. It was the motor in the AC and Three Brothers A/C & Heating did a good job. Then for the water heater claim, the company that AHS sent out had to get a regulator thing and the place that they normally buy it from didn’t have one. The company was helpful, but their owner wanted more money and he said that he would do it for $140. They had other vendors where they could buy it from, but it was a little more expensive. In order for them to do it that weekend, they had to get the part from the more expensive place or I had to wait four days without hot water. If it was available in places, they should buy it. So instead of $100, I paid $240 which was the cost for them to get the part. AHS needs to have more options, especially for something like that when it’s cold outside and you have people coming in town to the weekend.

The claims submission process with American Home Shield is not hard. But it all depends on who they send out. Some people are good and some people are bad. It also depends on what the issue is, if it's plumbing or electrical. The people who came out for my water heater, from the Best Care Home Services, were fine. Our water heater leaked and they came out and looked at it. The guy had to submit something to American Home Shield and they said he could replace the part. It had to be ordered but neither of them ordered it. When I finally called, I asked what was going on and Best Care said there was a mix-up. They thought AHS was ordering and AHS thought they were ordering it. So we had no hot water for three weeks, basically from the time the call was put in. Then you get your, "Oh, we're sorry. We're sorry. We're sorry." It doesn't help.
A year and a half ago, I had an issue with the heating system. The contractor put the furnace in but they were terrible. Their workmanship sucked. It was a furnace air conditioning unit. It's all outside and they had to rip the old one out but when they finished, it looked like crap. It didn't look anything like what they took out. I hope the people AHS hires can be improved.
On top of that, every time somebody comes out, they always have to make adjustments or modifications. They never just replace something. I know American Home Shield can't see what the person is saying but there hasn't been a time when I've used them on that house in Tennessee that there hasn't been a modification that needed to be made. I know that's what the contractors do to pad their stuff because they're only gonna get so much from American Home Shield. The contractor would say how much the water heater would cost and the labor they put in but then they would always say it's no good, that they have to replace all this and put new ductwork in. Give me a break. No, they don't. That's a bunch of crap.

My tub was leaking. I called AHS to submit a claim, paid my fee, they then notified me that I’d be contacted by an approved vendor, the approved vendor then called me the day later and scheduled the appointment, and they came out. The technician that came out was responsive, timely and super nice. My experience was fine. I thought it was odd that I had to pay before I was even told who my contractor was, so I could research them and make sure they were reputable. But it all worked out in the end.

The warranty is great. It covers a lot of things. But the deductible was high. It’s $100 every time you make a service call. But that’s the only thing that’s a problem for me. The monthly premium is reasonable and when I have claims, I like to submit them online. It’s easier. It’s something I automatically do. For my furnace issue, the guy from J & S came out the same day. He was very pleasant and professional. He had to come out twice though. The first time, he thought it was one part and he replaced it. But then the furnace started doing the same thing it was doing that made me call in the first place. So I called him and the same day, he came back out. He said it was another part and since then, the furnace has been working fine.

Filing claims with AHS is definitely an easy process and I usually get a contractor in 24 hours or less. So far, I've been happy with the contractors I've gotten. AHS handled some air conditioner repair work and a little bit of electrical that had to be done. They also handled a rusted out 4-inch metal pipe that was leaking some water when the toilet flushed.

I had an old furnace about 30 years old in here and the pilot light wouldn’t stay lit. I submitted the claim to American Home Shield and they sent someone out to inspect it. The man checked my furnace out and he went back and told me that it has got serious problems with it, and it’s too old to try to get parts for it. So, they recommended changing the furnace. It was upgraded to the later model furnace. Budget did a good job and they were excellent. The furnace works fine and I’m nice and warm. It made me more comfortable. I didn’t have heat in the wintertime here, so I needed a furnace. I’m satisfied with AHS so far and I’ve had no problems.

The dishwasher was leaking and the service man that came out was absolutely marvelous. In fact, he showed up at the end of the day when he should’ve been on his way home to enjoy his evening with his family. We actually had the appointment for the next day but he came by to do our job because he had the parts on his truck and he didn’t want to wait ’til the next. He had been here before when he took that part, then figured it out what parts he needed, and he ordered the parts. We didn’t have to do a thing. They were delivered to our house and then he came and installed it. He was a very, very likable guy, and we enjoyed having him around.
They replaced all the whole innards of the door. So we have virtually a brand new door, and it works like a champ. I have put American Home Shield on every house that I have owned in the last 30 years I’ve ever bought a house. When I was in the real estate business years ago, every time I sold somebody a house, I put a year’s worth of American Home Shield on the house so they’d never have a problem.

We were watching TV on a Thursday night and the heater was going. All of a sudden, we heard clicking noises like something was stuck or had fallen off and was going around with the fan. The heater would do that every time it would come on and off. We called AHS because that sounded terrible. We had the tech from AHS's contractor, Applied Air, come out twice for that. They couldn't get out that night the issue started and I was afraid we were gonna have no heat. Their tech came the next day and they were on the spot. The first time he came out, he couldn't find anything wrong with it even though it was making a clicking noise the night before. What had fallen apart may have settled because it wouldn't make a noise while the fan was running anymore. He took the whole thing apart and could find nothing loose or anything that was falling into the fan when it was running.
So, he replaced what he thought was the problem. But then, we had to call him back out because it was still making a noise. The heating unit would do that sometimes when it would turn on but mostly when it would shut off. He was very nice about it and was very willing to come back. He ended up replacing the fan the second time around and we haven't heard the noise since then.
This incident happened during one of the coldest nights we've had this year. There was fear that we would have no heat and couldn't get anybody to come out. The girl whom I talked to at AHS tried calling to see if she could get somebody to come but then nobody would come that night. Another concern was that my pipes were gonna freeze. I asked her if AHS would cover my pipes because they couldn't get anybody out and she said "No".
For 12 years now, we've had American Home Shield and I keep renewing it every year for peace of mind that I won't have to put a whole lot of money when something breaks down. I spend a pretty penny on it every year. We have used the warranty off and on throughout the years. Our hot water tank went out last year and what I don't like about AHS though is that while I have is a high-end hot water tank and a high-end furnace, they won't replace it with what's there. Instead, they replace it with what they wanna replace it with. So, I had to fight with them last year to get an upgraded hot water tank that wasn’t what I had but still better than what they wanted to put in. I went almost three weeks without a hot water tank while we bickered about this.
With AHS, we are not able to get what we have and in a timely manner. Still, their contractors with whom we've worked with are always pleasant to work with. One time, we had an off-brand plumber who came out for our sump pump and they had to come back two or three times until I finally decided they're not getting it. Since then though, we've had decent contractors. We had B&K Plumbing for a while and now we have Kwik Serv. They have been very accommodating. They have done extra stuff for us too since they have been in our house already. I have considered looking into some of the other warranty providers. We had one for my mom’s house when she purchased it a little over a year ago and what she had was horrible. I kept saying to her that I don't have those kinds of problems with my home warranty.

Everything breaks down eventually. Still, AHS takes care of things and they have researched their vendors very well. All of their techs that have come over the years explain what they're doing. They show the part and what they’re gonna replace. They are nice people and they do a good job. Sometimes they can't fix the issue and they have to replace my unit.

One time, when my furnace went out, AHS saved me a heck of a lot of money. I got a brand-new furnace that’s about $3,500 and back then, my warranty fee was only 45. Recently, I had a claim for my dryer where they sent out a tech from Allstar Appliance. But I kinda wasted money because the line that runs toward the air duct going out that caused the problem was in the house. I thought I snaked it good because I pulled the thing all the way through, but there still was a blockage and that was causing the dryer not to heat properly. So, he told me that I gotta still snake it down, which I did, and that was it.
So, he really didn't do anything and said that he was not allowed to touch anything in the house. But he was friendly and he stuck around while I cleaned it out. He also made sure I cleaned it out the proper way. I thought you could snake it by hand, but he told me to put it on a drill, which I did. So, I got educated a little bit by him.
Other than that, I’m looking at selling the house next year when I retire and move out of state. And I plan on buying a year's worth of American Home Shield for the new people. That was what they did to me when I bought the house, which is good. We're doing a lot of work right now. This house is dated because it was built in the 80s, so we're getting it up to modern. I’ve done the floors and windows, kitchen, and new vanities. I'm also painting the inside and outside.

I called the next day and thought maybe that was what it was. They ended up coming back out very quickly and cut that plug out so my dishwasher would drain.

He was in and out in probably 10 minutes. He pulled that thing off, put the new one in and installed the new opener to the wall and showed me that it was working. It was really quick and easy. Everything works great now.
This is the third time we've had to do a claim with American Home Shield. We've had them for the last year or two, and it has been really easy to file a claim online. And then, somebody contacts me the next day within 24 hours, and then they were out like the following day. It was really quick. It was a really fast process.

A tech from GE Appliance came out right when he said he would. He called and he was where he said he was. He asked what the problem was, knew it right away and took care of it immediately. The belt had come off because the particular style of washer tub has a gap between the tub and the frame. Stuff had fallen down between that little crack there. He took the top off, took the stuff out, put the belt back on and he was on his way. He was here for 15 minutes. By that time he already was done talking to us about the problem and how we could possibly fix it ourselves if that happened again. We've had AHS for two years and I like the security that someone can come out and fix our appliances and we don't have to worry about it.

So far, I haven’t had any issues with American Home Shield. We've had the warranty for about six years and we’ve had three things worked on, and everything has been good. When I have a claim, I have to call in then at that time, I give them payment. You can probably do it both online and over the phone but I’m the old-fashioned way. I like to talk to someone. They sent out DNS Plumbing once and the company was very good. It also wasn’t very long at all before somebody came out. It was a few days and also, as soon as I had submitted the claim, I got a text message that I would be getting a call. So Home Shield was very good at responding to the order being put in.

The first year after we bought our house, the refrigerator went out and was deemed unfixable. I filed a claim and AHS replaced our refrigerator. Then there was a lid that broke on our clothes washer. They shipped the new lid five times to replace it but the lid kept breaking in the mail. So, they replaced our clothes washer. Then recently, an issue came up with the AC and they sent Big Air. I wasn't home when they came but my wife was and she told me that the contractor was respectful. He initially came, diagnosed what it was and then said he had to order the part. He came back a couple of hours later that same day and put the part in. Since then, our AC has been working. Overall, AHS has saved us a lot of money.

I like that AHS saves me money when I have a repair. I’ve had two different experiences with Myers Comfort. The first contractor was an older gentleman and the second person was a young guy, but they were from the same company. When the first person came out to deal with the disposal, it was an excellent experience. He replaced everything. They were very friendly and absolutely wonderful. And they fixed all kinds of stuff.
But before that, I had a couple of faucets that were leaking. The person who came out was awful. We had a scheduled time, but I had told him over and over that I could not be there at a specific time because I had to pick up my child from school. He either ran early or late and came right when I told him I had to go pick up my child. He pulled in my driveway and blocked me in. I told him that I had to pick up my child from school. He was very rude. He said that he was busy and that the only other thing he had was across town and won’t be able to come back that day.
He told me that he was gonna leave and not come back if I left to go get my child from school. I ended up calling a friend and getting my friend to go pick up my child from school. And he went inside his car with the door closed and smoked, then he tracked cigarette smoke all in my house. We all had asthma. The customer service was very poor, but he resolved the issue in 10 minutes.

I went to the AHS website to submit a claim. The website is user-friendly, now that I’ve been on it. I can expect contractors out usually within a day or two during the workweek. Somebody had unwired the doorbells and one thing needed a battery. I just typed in what was wrong, they contacted Platinum Heating & Air, made an appointment to come out, and the tech replaced the old doorbell thing that was inside the house.
The only thing is I have to find a 12-volt battery. I looked at the store yesterday and I can’t find one, but that would fix the remote for the backdoor. But while the tech was here, he put in batteries for the actual unit that goes inside the house. The tech came a little late, though. The time period that he gave me overlapped with somebody delivering something. But he was friendly, very thorough, and he showed me how to open everything so I won’t break anything. He showed me how to open up the back of the remote and what to do. He also showed me what kind of the batteries to put in it and replaced the batteries that I had on hand, that size. He put a new doorbell thing outside with a light in it too, so that’s nice. Now I have a working front and back doorbell.

I have a chandelier-type thing hanging from the ceiling and the box apparently broke. So the thing kinda dropped down. The wires were the only thing kinda holding it up. The contractor had to come in and cut the chandelier down, and pulled that old box out and put a new one up, and stick everything back up in there. It was very quick. The guy knew what he was doing and it took him 30 minutes tops to do it.
Submitting a claim is a piece of cake. I do everything online. I go online and click on the submit services request or service ticket, kinda click on a generic issue of what it is and it’s instantaneous. I get a text message saying who my contractor is and then they typically call me if not that day, the next day. So it’s very easy. I had to use AHS about six times over the years and I’ve never once had any issue with anybody that they’ve ever sent out. They’ve all been professional. They came out when they said they were gonna come. It’s been really simple every time. But if I had to nitpick, there was one time I did have a question about my AC and I wasn’t sure whenever I submitted the ticket if what I was submitting was gonna be one or two charges because I have two units. So I called to try to get someone and it took me like 40 minutes to finally get ahold of someone. You’re gonna get put on hold if you wanna speak to someone directly with AHS.

We had lots of vapor-locked air in the pipes of our boiler and they thought they got it fixed the first time. But one zone still didn’t work. Cozy Comfort had to come out the next day and got it fixed. They were really good about scheduling it right away and getting right back out because it was quite chilly. It’s the first time I've had a boiler in my house, but I understand that it’s difficult to bleed air out of them. He explained to me that sometimes, it takes a few times to get it. They put four-hour slots because boilers are kinda hard to work on.
It was a learning process for me as well as far as how boiler work goes. I’d obviously like to get it fixed on the first shot, but it was completely reasonable to have to come back. We have family members that have AHS. We had also used another service before and weren’t super-happy with some of the contractors that were sent out to our house.

We had a porch light that was out and we had a light in the kitchen, like a chandelier, that was not working. And then, the light on the garage door opener was not working too. The person from Ragan & Molinet who came out to fix it was fantastic. He fixed the porch light very quickly. In the kitchen, we did not realize that when the power goes off and when it comes back on, sometimes you have to pull the chain a couple of times to get all four of the lights to come on. It was something that nobody had ever told us and he showed us that. He also did some adjustments out in the garage with the light there. I had been in the technical field most of my life and I was impressed with his skill and knowledge. He also had a young apprentice with him and they did a great job. I would recommend them to anybody.
The only thing that we ran into was that the spring of the garage door was broken and that was not a part of American Home Shield's contract -- they take care of the garage door opener, but they do not take care of any of the mechanisms. It would be good if they did. We had a plumbing issue too, and they used Budget, which was out from St. Peters. Our icemaker had gone out on the refrigerator a couple of times as well, and the people who came out where very knowledgeable. They replaced the icemaker twice in the last six or seven years.
AHS has been a good investment for us. We have been with them for about nine years, and the people that they have sent here to work for them have been great. We have not had anybody come out to repair anything for us who had not been knowledgeable and had not done a good job. There were a couple of times that we did not get a phone call as quickly as we thought we would from the company, but I understood that. So, it may take a day or two before they call us to set up the appointment, but we have not had anything that had been an emergency. If we would have had, they would have expedited it for us.

I have four policies with Home Shield. In general, I feel okay, but when I needed them the most, they were not there for me. I had a sudden burst in a pipe in the kitchen that cost me the entire kitchen. I had to take care of it on a Sunday. It was an emergency. I could not wait to call them and have them assign someone, because it was a mess all over. After I fixed everything a few months later, I submitted to Home Shield the plumber’s receipt which I paid on the same day. They said they weren't gonna honor my claim because I should have called them first.
Even if I called them on that Sunday, I don’t think they're gonna have somebody there right away, knowing the volume that they work with and it’s a Sunday. Even if they did, I had to contain the damage because every moment, it gives me more damage issues. There was no time to call them just to let them know. And they're not gonna send anybody right away anyway. I was very disappointed after having four properties with them since at least 1994. But with another plumbing issue I had, Plymwr Plumbing came out the following day after I submitted the claim.

I had a heating claim with AHS and everything went well. Three Brothers came and they said that there was no real problem. They just needed to tie the pipes back to secure them to the ceiling and to the side of the wall. The cords that were holding them up had loosened up, so they put new straps on and stapled them back to the wall. They checked the upstairs AC as well. They didn't find anything other than three minutes to tie that up. I was very comfortable with them. They were very professional, very courteous, and very quick. I asked them to look through the second part, which was on a third floor scale up in an attic. They were there between 20 and 30 minutes.
Because I didn't know the magnitude of the problem, I called American Home Shield. If I had a person who could've just gone up and looked at it, they could've tacked that back up. If I had know that's all it was, I would've tacked it back up. I was afraid that the cylinders or the tubes had dropped away from the vents, and that was why I needed a professional. Three Brothers assured me that it was still flowing through the vents and it was just the cords having broken loose half a period of time.
I've had American Home Shield since I bought my home in 2007. It went along with buying into a new home in the community in a city that I'm not familiar with, and knowing that I would be one of two people living there who really didn't have the connections. I had my own set of people when I lived outside of Texas. I had my own plumber and carpenter I worked for. The school district then had a neighbor who was a contractor who had all of these people available to me. But here, I didn't have that, so American Home Shield seemed to be my best choice because they had everything on one roof.
It's a little expensive though. When we first started, it wasn't $75 a call-out. Sometimes, like this recent claim, it could've been done for about $5 or $10 or 10 minutes and a nail. Other than that, I would rate American Home Shield very highly at this point. I've had a few other situations where I've had to complain, but it wasn't American Home Shield, it was the actual contractor.

I called Home Shield to file a claim and I wasn't happy with the call at all. It's really tough getting through AHS, getting someone that I can understand on the phone and getting to the right person after being transferred. I called a couple of times but essentially, I never got to where I wanted to be and I couldn't file a complaint about it. So, I ended up having to pay the service fee of $100 and pay for the plumber $315 to unclog the toilet.
Though the initial call was fine, the follow-up call stating that they wouldn't cover the claim was very frustrating. No foreign objects could be put down the toilet. The tenants used Cottonelle Wipes, which are flushable as stated on the pack. It wasn't a foreign object but AHS denied covering the said claim. There were also a couple of things they wouldn't cover like my water heater claim. They had to replace the water heater but they had to add an extension tank to it 'cause it was an older tank. I had to pay $900 right away.
The technicians seemed good but I had a really bad problem with a technician, who is based out of Philadelphia, last year. They were the worst and they were like a scam. They had many complaints online about them not doing the work, not following through and not showing up on their appointments. It was a horrible nightmare with them. I filed a complaint against them with the Better Business Bureau. I called AHS back and told them about it. I begged them to get me a second opinion to prove that there was an issue and that everything that the technician were stating was false. AHS sent out another guy who got me a whole new washer.
I have two warranties with AHS and I spend a lot of money on them. I've been thinking about looking into other warranty companies because of the hassle when I call AHS. A lot of times, I can't understand what the reps are saying. The customer service and the hold time is ridiculous so I don't like to file on the phone. It takes a while. Sometimes, I get a call from the tenant and I have to call while I'm driving. I can't go online, which I understand is faster, but it's a process.

We called the contractor for AHS, Rooter Express the minute we had a phone number and set up an appointment for the next day. We had to tell the tech that the problem was with our kitchen drain, not our faucet. Still, it was all done promptly. The tech came out and was very efficient. He solved our problem and we are very happy.

We’re in the process of looking to sell the home. And the unit on the property is an older unit, so we were having it inspected to make sure that there wasn't anything wrong with it, that it still functions properly. I’ve had AHS on that home for about six months. I had AHS on my own personal home longer than that as well. This was the first time that I’ve submitted a claim with AHS and it was really easy. It wasn’t a really long wait period compared to other call centers or trying to get into any customer service representatives. They were really nice. They put in the work order to have both the accounts linked online for me, as well as setting up the service for the technician to come out and inspect it. They did everything that they could to help me to make sure that I was taken care of from beginning to end. The contractor came out the next day. There weren’t any issues with the unit. He confirmed that everything was working and in order. It was just an older unit.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. Have a great weekend.

I called them when my furnace went out and they had someone come out the next day. We had heat but it was make a lot of noise. The tech was on time and professional. He let us know everything that was going on. They had to find the parts for my furnace and it took about three days. Everything is fine right now. I'm fully satisfied with AHS and they did a great job.

Good Guys was very efficient, very knowledgeable on what was going on, very polite, courteous to my concern, and they showed me what was going on with the appliance after they finished it. Some of the companies that American Home Shield uses need some improvement. I had one prior to Good Guys that I wasn't pleased with. It was Tiger Plumbing. When the plumber came out, he wasn't friendly and then he diagnosed the wrong thing. As a matter of fact, he cut a hole in my wall. He told me that I had a stoppage in my tub. I had kept calling him on the phone and my 90 days lapsed. He never returned my calls.
After my 90 days lapsed, I had to pay another $75. The company sent me somebody else instead of him. So, when they sent me Tiger Plumbing, the guy looked at the situation and it was something totally different. My toilet was leaking that was why the water was on the floor. So, I was out $150 because of the misdiagnosis from the first plumber. I've had American Home Shield for over 30 years. Because I put all this money and time in it, I just stuck with it. But I haven't had any issues with submitting a claim.

The furnace wasn’t firing up in the rental house and we sent a claim online. I did that at night and then I got a call first thing in the morning and A-1 Quality Care was over here early afternoon. My tenant said everything was all taken care of. American Home Shield is cheap insurance. We've had them for many years and we like having the peace of mind in case something breaks. It works like I have expected it to.

I was having issues with being able to smell exhaust in my house. I called in a claim with AHS and the first people that they sent out came over on a weekend. He did mainly plumbing, so he knew nothing about my heater. He said most people around here had boilers and there were waters involved, but mine is a forced air. He recommended Comfort Air Mechanical, which was the company that worked on my heater years ago. When AHS sent out Comfort Air, the guy that came over knew what he was doing. He was able to fix the issue but they had to wait for approval from American Home Shield for a switchboard that was inside the heater in my house. They got that pretty fast but it took quite a while for American Home to approve the service for the motor for the exhaust fan up on my roof that is connected to the heater. When the contractor finally got the approval, the tech came over right away and fixed it. And now, it works good, so I'm happy with it.
So far, I have AHS on my home for about two years now. I also have an apartment on my property that we built for my mother years ago. It's like a guesthouse now and I also have that included on my policy in case anything goes up there. That's a major thing because I'm a widow and on a fixed income. I can afford to pay the little bit for the insurance once a month, but if I were to have a big repair bill for something, it would be very hard on me financially. So, I am happy with AHS.

My dryer was making a terrible noise and there was a lot of friction. I phoned American Home Shield about it and they sent Active Appliance Service. The contractor replaced the belt and a little wheel. It was paid for and then he left the receipt. They said that it will be good for my grandchildren now. When I make a complaint, AHS will get another vendor out there and they will fix it. I've had vendors who come and try to cheat you, but not these guys. I've been with this warranty company for more than five years and I pay my monthly. Having AHS is worth it. If something were to breakdown, at least they would come. We like it because of our air conditioning, washer, and dryer. We also used to have a garage. The water heater was a good experience. Even though they prorated it, we ended up getting money for it, so we could give it towards the new one because it eventually died out.

The plumber that came out was really good. He came out to assess my water heater. My water bill had gone from $100 to $397. Then I noticed my water heater. It seemed like it constantly running. It looked like the water pressure had risen so much that it was causing overflow. So the water heater was constantly pushing water out through a pipe at the side of my house. The plumber immediately determined the root of the problem and got it fixed after he got approval from the warranty company. So it went pretty smoothly. So far, everything is good with the water heater. I'm waiting on additional follow-up from my water company just to ensure water levels have dropped back down. But the water heater isn’t running and there’s no leaking water from the side of my house so everything seems to have worked out fine.
Submitting the claim was really easy too. I contacted American Home Shield and gave them some details on the problem then they went ahead and scheduled the appointment with My Georgia Plumber. They asked that I send over a picture of the water heater itself so they can have the model and serial number and then that was it. They got someone out to me in three days. It was a holiday in between. My Georgia Plumber was fantastic. I highly recommend them. They were very quick and efficient. The rep that took my call was able to answer all of my questions. She also really worked with my schedule because I can only work from home one day a week. She was very attentive. I've now been with American Home Shield for two years. It was my father who had recommended them. He told me a little bit about their policies and what they could cover, and because my house is almost 30 years old, we decided that it was a good idea.

We bought a used home here in Vegas and our realtor recommended American Home Shield. I was very impressed with my claim where Integrity Appliance Repair out, and I'm glad I have my warranty on the house. The splash shield exhaust system of the stove did not function at all. It is the only exhaust system we have in the house and it works, but it is not as efficient as you would think for an updraft exhaust system because it is a squirrel cage type. The contractor came out, found the problem, and replaced the part. It was perfect. He was professional. In submitting the claim, I took my warranty information out and called the number on the warranty paperwork. The representative I dealt with was excellent. The whole process, from the time I called to the time that the technician showed up to the time of completion, took a week. Everything has been functioning very well since then.

Sometimes I like American Home Shield but sometimes I don't. We've been with them for 15 years. But sometimes, I feel that they should take care of certain things and they don't. Also, some contractors are good and some of them are not so good. But I would tell American Home Shield to send somebody else. The last one we had was fine though.

I've had AHS since 2013 and I've been pleased with them. I continue to renew with them because of their excellent service and they keep the service fee to a minimum. Every time I've called, they’ve been on top of everything. I've also had good experience with their vendors too. Recently, my garage door wasn’t opening. The technician came out, he checked my clicker and the actual motor itself. And he found out it was the clicker. He got it working very quickly and was very efficient. He took care of it the same day and made sure that everything else was working properly. He was on time, very professional and very knowledgeable.

Somebody came to drywall my wall because the faucet in my bathtub was leaking. They replaced that and they left a hole in my wall. And Vaughn McAllister was the contractor that came to patch the hole. Submitting claims with American Home Shield has been pretty good. I just submitted my claim, they had somebody come and look at the work, they ordered the part that I needed for this latest experience, and then they came and installed it.
Overall, the contractors that AHS sends out have been great. The plumbers were excellent. They did a fantastic job. They were very thorough and they’re experienced. I had one contractor come before to look at the stove and they told me that they were gonna order a part and then they were gonna fix the stove. That was over a year ago. They never came back. But this latest experience was definitely pleasant.

I got Home Shield right after I bought my home. I've had them for three years, going on four. The last visit I had was for my dryer. Sometimes I would submit claims online when I'm driving because that's when I have peace of mind. So, most of the time, I called in and got somebody help me through it. Holiday Business Group came out the next day. It was real quick. It wasn't more than two days because I had to wash clothes. And then, the tech was real nice.
