Our toilet was making a constant incessant noise that sounded like dripping water from the sink. I called American Home Shield and it took a couple of days before the contractor came out, which was to be expected. The guy was here for about 10 minutes and then the toilet has been fine. We've had American Home Shield in Arizona, and they used to charge 75$, but in California now they asked for a $100 payment. Still, I would recommend them. We had another home warranty last year and we had to wait for over two weeks to get our refrigerator fixed, but it hasn't happened that we had to wait that long with American Home Shield.
Good Morning Teri,

AHS keeps sending people from out of the area to do a job that could easily be done and even though I had to request somebody from the area so I didn’t have to wait as long, I did wait long. I contacted American Home Shield over the phone for the toilet and a leaking faucet. I requested someone local for this claim. Emergency Plumbing took one week to come out but they came on time and they were very cordial. The guy did the toilet, but he had to order a faucet and that took another week. Everything has been completed since then but two weeks to do it was a little lengthy.
It’s as simple as looking at the area code to see who’s local or the same zip code, but nobody looks into that. Every time I have a claim, they would refer me someone from very far and they would say that the contractor services the area too. I understand but that takes longer and by the time they get here, they're frustrated. They don’t wanna do the work like the first ones who came for a leaking shower. They didn’t know what they were doing. They came from very far and they didn’t fix the problem so, my husband told them what it was. Once they did that, they fixed it right. What they are able to do to access the actual problem is very limited. They cannot remove debris or anything like that to get to it.
I apologize for the inconvenience Jehan. I can understand frustration in regards to your plumbing. My name is Stacy, and I've emailed you as I would like to follow up with you until the issue is resolved.

The costs of AHS were reasonable. They’ve gone up a little bit. I had service last week that turned out okay. However, I would like to know if there was a $75 charge for the checkup and then also the $125 charge for the co-pay on the replacement part, which I believe was a capacitor. I believe if you call somebody in for a checkup and they find something and there’s a charge for that, the charge should be deleted if it leads to the actual work being done. But the service was satisfactory.
Good afternoon David,
Your feedback is more than appreciated. We are glad to hear about your experience and the repairs that are complete.

I reached out to AHS to report an issue with the ice maker on my refrigerator and they sent Beyer Appliance. The technician was very professional, friendly and was on time. The claim went great and I couldn't be happier. I also had a claim on my garage door spring and it was a pretty excellent experience as well. When I first called, the rep was excellent but then when I had to call them back, the second representative didn't exactly know what I was talking about. I assured her that springs were covered on my home warranty but she assured me that I didn't have that. I asked them to check it and she was eating crow after I told her what my coverage entitles. In the end, they took care of the issue.

I filed a claim with Home Shield for the washing machine. It was vibrating hard. There was no availability for a technician, so I had to wait like five days before he came out. He came on time and in a matter of about 10 minutes, he troubleshooted it and said that the bearings were going out and that there was nothing else to do as of that time because the expense to do the repairs was more than what my home warranty would cover. We decided we’re just gonna use it up until it dies.
The technician came in a personal car and I asked him for his business card because he did not have an attire. There was nothing on his body that said Star Services. But he got a pin because he was out of business cards. He also said that their truck that they normally use was being repaired. He was nice enough, came in and got the job done, and he gave me a quote on installing the dishwasher because that had just got hauled out. In this instance, it worked out fine but my concern is that they need to be professional-looking and have business cards especially because I'm a woman and my husband’s not home.

A sewer pump in the basement went out of whack. The problem was quickly identified, isolated, and repaired within a week. The tech explained all the problems and what was likely that happened and he provided the temporary solution till he came back and fixed a new pump. Everything was done very well.

We're with Home Shield for about a year and a half now, and we just had our second claim. We had some plumbing issues and after I put the claim online, they had somebody from Diamond Plumbing call me and that contractor came out in a couple of days. They also called to tell us when they would be here. Once they got here, they kept us informed of what the problem was and what they were going to do to fix it. They were in contact with Home Shield as well. The problem was much more extensive than we originally thought, so they took about 5 days and the same people were here the entire time. On the final day, they just needed to do some final work which was some minor stuff. They were all very professional and did a good job. So, we’re happy with the contractor company as well as the way that Home Shield handled the claim. They did it in a timely manner and everything is perfect now.

I make claims through the Home Shield's website and once you let them know what you need to have repaired, they tell you right then and there to expect one of the contractors to contact you within 24 hours. The contractors will either send an email, a text or a phone call. The contractors are very courteous and professional. Recently I was having issues with my garage door, and Choose the Right Door came out this week to repair it. AHS is worth the money, and I value the easiness of having a contractor come to my home instead of trying to do the refrigerant on my own.

Another firm put in a thermostat in August and I could not get any heat in that section of the house. It turned out that the thermostat that was installed was defective. In submitting claims, I've used American Home Shield's website virtually exclusively. I did this claim on Friday and they contacted me on the same day. Then, it was on Monday when Crispy Air & Heating came out. The contractors were fine. Then first guy who came in identified what the problem was, but he didn't have the thermostat on-board. So, they had to come back a couple days later to replace it again. Now it is working and everything has been fine. AHS did a good job. They were quick and confident.

I had three switches in the bathroom - one was a fan, an overhead light, and an exterior light. All three were non-operable. Submitting a claim through American Home Shield was easy. The irritant for me, and I’ve had this before when I had an American Home Shield warranty in a prior state, was that they break the process into multiple pieces. They send a low-tech person you pay $75 that goes, "Yup, you got a problem." And then you have to take off work for a second time to have them then come fix it. That’s irritating.
The guys from All Safe Electric that came were very pleasant, but they were constrained by the bifurcated, multi-step process that American Home Shield has in place. If I had called a general electrician that was not covered by American Home Shield, the electrician would have fixed it the first time, and I would not have had to take off work twice. And that seems to always be their M.O. When I was in Charlotte, North Carolina, we had American Home Shield, and it was the same thing. The contractor came out and said, “Yup, you’re not an idiot home owner. You do have a problem.” And that will send somebody who’s actually qualified. I don’t understand that process. If the first guy is legitimate enough to diagnose, but he’s not legitimate enough to then fix it, then how good is he at determining that you actually have a problem?
If they really wanted customer experience to be the number one, they would do it in one fell swoop. Now, if the guy didn’t have the part, that’s a different issue. But they found it was a basic wiring issue at a switch in the master bedroom. So he just had to take off the switch. They found it, they fixed it, and we’re done. It took them all of 20 minutes to fix it. But it took me taking off work twice and driving, and then having to come in to work late.
I had an attic fan that went bad. And the first time the contractors came out, they’re like, “Yup, it’s dead.” And then they sent a second guy out to fix it. So they had to get authorization from American Home Shield to fix it. Why could not the technician, while they’re in my home, call American Home Shield to have them authorize it real-time, and save me an extra visit. It seems like it would save the contractor travel time twice to the same site visit. That seems incredibly inefficient to me. I’m willing to pay an electrician who can come and get it done once, versus me having to take off work twice. Everything else was great.

I got an email from AHS saying that they had a special tune-up for $75 and that I could pay online, and the guy would come out and check everything about my heating system before wintertime set in. I did that and the tech from Carolina Heating & Cooling did come out. When he was doing all the checking, he discovered a part that was just on the brink of failing, and he said, if it fails, it will break, and if it breaks, the parts may get into the fan and other things, and it may cause a lot of damage. So, he recommended that I replace it right then on that visit. He said he had the part in his truck. He called AHS to get an authorization because he had to write a separate ticket for that because the $75 only covered the inspection part. I got on the phone and verified that I knew what was going on and that was me. The AHS rep authorized it and the tech wrote a ticket up and replaced the part and left. He was very professional.
I use my gas logs to heat my house when it's this time of the year because in North Carolina, the weather varies a lot in the spring and in the fall. I don’t turn my heat pump on until it's a regular progression of really cold days. We turned it on while the tech was here and it worked fine. But since he left, I haven’t turned it on yet. I've had AHS for years and every now and then, I get annoyed because I'm putting a lot of money into it every month, but when something happens, it cost me whatever the fee de jure and it's taken care of. At one time, over 10 years ago, I had a refrigerator that just quit working. I called AHS and they sent somebody out. The refrigerator was 18 or 20 years old. The tech said, “I'm surprised it lasted this long. It really can't be fixed. There's too much wrong with it. You need a new one.” I had AHS bought it for me. And you can't beat something like that.
I have recommended AHS to a number of people. I live by myself and I'm 74, and I'm like a traditional 1950’s grown-up girl. So, I don't know how to do handyman’s job. I never bothered to learn. Since I moved into this house in 2012, my microwave door handle came loose on the bottom, you could swing it back and forth like a yo-yo. I called AHS and said, “Do you fix things like this?” They said yeah. The guy came out and he said, “I'm gonna order you a brand-new door.” And I said, “It's just a handle.” And he said, “You can't replace just the handle. You have to replace the whole door.” So, I got a whole new door. This house was built in 2002. So, the microwave was 10 years old and I got a brand-new door. So, stuff like that, they don’t argue with the serviceman.

When I had several plumbing issues, I called the American Home Shield number and asked to speak to a person. If you do it online, you can submit one thing, but if you have more than one issue for the same technician, it has to be on the work order or they won’t do it when they come. Generally, when I call AHS, they send Greenway and it could be days before Greenway could get a plumber out so I specifically asked for someone else. The contractor who came was very knowledgeable and came very promptly. We had some slow-running drains, a toilet that wasn’t working right, and a leak under a sink. He fixed them all.
AHS had sent Greenway to fix our furnace recently. They got someone here quickly and that went well too. But last winter, it took them months to get our furnace fixed and by that time, it was summer. We also had an expensive refrigerator and at one point, AHS sent Greenway. Then Greenway called and said that all their technicians quit and so they couldn't do any appliance repairs. AHS tried a couple of other people who weren’t able to fix it either. Finally, they declared it dead and gave me $3,000 as cash-in-lieu instead, which was big.
We will be canceling our AHS service, which expires on Monday. They have increased our rates quite a bit because they say we have too many claims. But there wouldn’t be so many service calls if they sent somebody who could fix the problem on the first try or had parts on their truck, didn’t have to order them and come back multiple times. The AHS person I talked to wasn't buying it though. We’ve been with them for years, but that didn’t hold any sway with them either. They decided we weren’t worth keeping as customers unless we pay them a whole lot more money.

My range stopped working one time and there was an error code that came up on the screen. I submitted a claim to AHS and they sent Wright Appliance Service & Repair. The contractor was fast and immediately said what was wrong with it and tried to look for the part. AHS tried to look for the part as well but then said they were gonna issue a replacement.
The problem is that they send you a link to do the replacement and if you don’t click all the way through the entire replacement questions, there are two other pages where you have to do some confirmation pieces. AHS didn't tell me that my request for a replacement didn't go through. So, I called to check and see where my appliance was and I'm starting all over.

We just moved into the house back in April and we noticed recently that there was water accumulating in the vegetable drawers of our refrigerator. It looked like there was condensation forming on the back of the refrigerator and there was a drain for that that it looks like in the design, the design anticipates the condensation and provides a way of draining that, and the drain was obstructed. So the person from Optimum Appliance came and had to have a special tool to blow out the drainage host so that it would drain again. I was delighted with the contractor. He communicated with us before he came. He said, "I can see you earlier, is that okay? I'll be there in about 10 minutes." He was here in 10 minutes so he was here when he said he would be here. He was respectful and had shoe covers for the house when he came in. He did the assessment, everything was timely and he left.
American Home Shield's claim process was easy. I called them to submit a claim because sometimes, I like the human contact. And it was easy to do it over the phone. I could have done it online, but my preference was phone. The contracting company called very quickly. We've submitted two claims at once and they both called the same day to try and set up an appointment. So that process was very easy. The contractor said, "No, we don't bill you anything. You'll get billed by American Home Shield." My wife is handling the billing on that so I haven't seen whether or not we've paid anything against that yet. But that was straightforward and I was really pleased.

We had back up in both our bathrooms. If we flush the commode, we got water or whatever was going down. They came back up into the shower and the tub. So, I simply went online and made the claim to American Home Shield. Their website was self-explanatory, but finding the claim page was a bit of a challenge. I found it without that much difficulty but it seemed like I had to hunt for the page. But once I found it, filing a claim has been very easy. My particular problem was we had what I would’ve described as a back up. But on their website, it said stoppage. So, I just used the term stoppage. I considered it to be synonymous with blockage. I received a notice that someone had been contacted and that they would be getting in touch with me within a few hours. But the company, Super Plumbers, took another two or three days.
Super Plumbers was very professional. The young man that helped me seemed very knowledgeable. And when he left, it appeared that it had been corrected. Unfortunately, we had to file another claim. In fact, I filed it today for the same thing. We have two tubs and a shower. The tub in the secondary bathroom is having a drainage issue. Basically, aside from the back up, the water was standing in the tub and we had to wait for it to go down, and that is occurring again. It’s not from the toilet, but whether you take a shower or you take a bath, instead of the water going out, it simply doesn’t drain. It takes six or eight hours to drain.
I’ve had experience with American Home Shield in the past. Not only as a customer but I bought them for houses that we’ve sold. And so, when we purchased this house, we picked them amongst the several companies that offered their service because we've had success with them in the past. My overall experience has been very good. If others were looking for a plan to help offset potential issues that they would have at the lowest cost, AHS has performed the way I expected and I would recommend them.

I had an issue with my icemaker/water dispenser on the fridge. I went to change the water filter inside the fridge, and when I did, I went to bleed out the air in the filter. But as soon as I pushed the filter or the water dispenser, it was sending out the ice and the water would not shut off at all. It was all over the place. And the only way I could shut it off was to open the door, and then I had to lock the buttons out. That was where things went haywire. I scheduled for a service with American Home Shield online and then their rep called later over the phone for me to explain what was going on.
The service guy from Wright Appliance came out, looked at it and got it fixed really quick as soon as I showed him what was going on. He knew something was up because the water wasn’t coming out correctly. He pulled the thing off and the tube where the water feeds in to the dispenser came off. It was pinched between the icemaker and the water dispenser part. So, he moved that and pushed it in and everything worked.

I called American Home Shield because my furnace was making a lot of noise, and it's in the attic. When Right Tech Heating and Air went up there, they didn't find anything wrong other than it needed to be cleaned and serviced, and they charged me a couple hundred bucks and cleaned and serviced it and it's fine. They were professional enough. The only thing that I had any issue with was that, they have a special where you can have your furnace cleaned and serviced for $89, but the contractor charged me $199.

We had a claim for the dishwasher where AHS sent out David’s Appliance Services. It went great. The claim was resolved and today we received the check for the reimbursement. They told us upfront that we'd get the check in about three weeks and that was how long it took to get it. I would've liked it to be sooner though, considering that I had to put it on my credit card and I already paid my credit card bill since it was the last day before the new statement came out.
Other than that, from the time that we’ve had AHS, they have almost doubled in monthly premium pricing and the warranty covers less than before because we kept getting the changes before we renew annually. That is something to look into. But that’s happening everywhere and everyone is trying to cut money somewhere. All in all, we’ve been pretty satisfied with American Home Shield and we’ve always told people, especially if they're buying a home, to keep the warranty after the fact because you never know when things would break down once your insurance has expired.

We had a faulty ground-fault interrupter in the house, and on the same day that I called American Home Shield, their contractor called us. It was Certified Electrical Technologies, whom we have used before and one of our preferred contractors. They do a really good work. They replaced the bad ground-fault interrupter and that made things a lot easier at home.

Loyal Hand Appliances came out for the AC claim that I filed to American Home Shield. The claim experience was good but I had to pay two extra pounds of Freon because AHS doesn’t cover that. I needed two pounds of Freon. It was $120 and AHS only paid 10 bucks. So, that cost me $100 besides the $100 I gave the guy. Nonetheless, the tech was good. I've been with American Home Shield for five years now and so far, my interactions with their reps have been great. However, when I first started, it was $50 a call. Now, it’s $100. It jumped up by 80%. Other than that, they've been great.

With AHS, communication is fantastic. I like the fact that I don't have to call anyone. I can go online and do a service request. But when I needed it escalated, I was able to call and they were able to escalate it up. Recently, my thermostat went out on my furnace and I have an eleven-month-old. They put me with a contractor, but that contractor wasn't able to get out here and I would have to wait until they could schedule an appointment. I called AHS back and said that I needed heat that night.
They found Make It Right Heating and Cooling. A gentleman called me right away and said that he had a couple more jobs, but he would definitely fit me in. He also said that he would get here before 6:00 PM and he was out to my home at about 5:00. It was fantastic. And when I looked online, Make It Right Heating and Cooling closes at 4:30 PM. I really appreciated that he went the extra step and still come out after his hours.
Prior to AHS, I was with another company and they were not meeting my expectations. I received a lot of referrals about AHS, so once my contract was over with the other company, I decided to make the move to AHS. Now that I'm with them, they have surpassed my expectations. When I put in a service request, it normally gets resolved the same day. Not like with the prior company, where sometimes, it would be weeks before I get service. I've told a lot of my friends and family about AHS and the ones who purchased it, love it.

My garbage disposal wasn’t working and I didn’t know how to clear it. I called AHS and their response time was so quick. They set me up with My Good Plumber and the gentleman came out and fixed it for me. He was very nice. He introduced himself and slipped on the little booties over his shoes so he wouldn't mess up my floor. He came in, evaluated the situation, and told me what was going on. I told him that I usually don’t use the garbage disposal because I didn’t want to accidentally put anything down there that shouldn’t go.
He cleared the garbage disposal out and he told me that it was in really good condition and that it just needed to be reset. He showed me how to do that and told me that it’s okay to use it every now and again, even if I don’t have a lot going down there, just to keep it going. He also told me that I could use ice chips to keep the blades sharp. I've never heard that before, so that was a good tip. I had another property with them before I moved into this house, so altogether I've been with them for four years.

When I bought the house, I put the gas fireplace. I put a claim in to American Home Shield for some gas spills and the stuffed up pipe for the gas. When the guy from Service Contractors of Texas came, he found the issue. When I maybe kept turning my fireplace on, it was spilling gas. It was a totally a stuffed up pipe and not meant to be on all the time. So, the guy told me like, "Oh no, that's a stuffed up pipe. Perhaps you didn't have the gas pipe for the fireplace." So, I was very happy with the service. He found out why I was emitting gas, and he gave me some options to either go to a wood fireplace or a gas fireplace. And he also went on the roof and told me about the trim. Submitting claims with American Home Shield is easy. I've used them twice for the heater and the AC and they fixed it. So, they figured all of it and told me what was wrong. 75 for just an inspection is a little bit expensive, but it was a great experience and service.

AHS's service is normally good. It’s just their hold time is long but other than that, they’re always nice. One time, the water pressure in the kitchen was very low and the water would stall before it comes on. I turn the faucet on and nothing comes out for like a minute and then it starts running. The contractor came out and the guy that came said that it was my faucet and I needed a new one. So, he had to order that and then he would have someone come and install it.
Then, the faucet man came in three or four days. He started taking things apart and he said he had to go get another part. He was gone for three and a half hours and then came back and installed it. But my water wasn't getting hot at all when he left. I tried spinning the faucet both ways and I can actually spin it around like it wasn't bolted down in the sink. It wasn't supposed to be like that. And it was one of the faucets where you can use the sprayer and the sprayer was just hanging out.
I called American Home Shield back and I let them know the issue. They said they were gonna send the contractor back out but they never came out. I called American Home Shield again. They put them in and it never came. I called a third time and one of the reps said she wasn't sure why it kept getting canceled. She said she was gonna have someone else come out.
When the guy from Prime came out, I explained everything to him, and he said the reason the sink is spinning is that it’s not bolted down correctly and the sprayer is hanging out and the nozzle doesn’t stick in is because they didn’t include the weight. I told him my water wasn't getting cold and he checked down below. He ended up having to order another faucet because so many parts were missing that they didn’t include or I don’t know if they were in the box this guy took with him. The parts had to come directly to my house and he made sure he told me to not open the box. They have to open it just to make sure and verify all parts are in there. He put the parts in and everything is working fine now.
Prime was very professional. He had let me know what he was doing and I like the fact that when they were coming, they schedule. And then they call before the installer or technician is on the way. I also got a link and I could track where they were and how long like estimated time. They were very informative and I liked their service. I also let American Home Shield know that if I ever had any other plumbing issues, I do not want that first plumbing company that they sent out at my property at all because they didn’t fix anything. They actually screwed up things.

The guy from River City Appliance was fine. The belt totally had stripped out after he had already replaced and fixed it after having been out three times, and then he said that the drum was deteriorating as well. There was couple other things that he said were wrong with the appliance, too. I didn't pay close enough attention because he said he was going to put it all in and that it may be cheaper for American Home Shield to replace it than to fix it.
I have been with this home warranty company for nine years and it would be nice if I got replacement value on my stuff. I’ve probably paid for everything in whole of that has ever been replaced, but I paid for it at $57 a month every month instead of having to come up with $2,500 here, $1,000 there for the course of nine years. $50 over nine years is $5,400, and that is about the amount that it would've cost me to replace the different appliances that I had replaced. So, having AHS is good if you do not have a lot of cash terms.

American Home Shield is doing good but sometimes, they send very incompetent people. On the first claim, I had a very bad experience. They sent somebody called Comfort Air Cooling who were very unprofessional people. They were not diagnosing the claim very well. I complained and then after that, almost everything was fine. Also, when it comes to replacing, they give only the cheapest product. They don't replace the same thing as they have. For example, I had to replace the air conditioner and they gave cheaper company. They didn't give the same company product.
Recently Grade A Plumbing came out but they haven't fixed the claim. The faucets are not working and are leaking out, so the tech ordered parts and they are waiting for the parts. I called AHS and they said normally, it can take four to eight business days, but it's already eight days now. Still, AHS has taken care of everything so far. The plumbers are ordering parts from Delta, so I cannot blame them.

I’ve had American Home Shield in the past and I got them again. We've had the current warranty for almost a year now and I access their website on my phone when I have a claim as it gives me a paper trail. I know what my expectations are and I’ve not had a problem with AHS. I had my air conditioning fixed and I’ve had my furnace fixed too. I had no problem with the contractor for the air conditioner, however, there was a misunderstanding with the furnace contractor that pissed me off a little bit and which I made it known.
The furnace contractor came in from the rain and he could have taken his shoes off. We have white carpet and that was a little bit of no-brainer. Then, he put a black, dirty something on the floor for the furnace on our white carpet that I just cleaned. He left a lot of debris on the carpet and my husband cleaned it. He apologized and it was an easy fix, so everything was fine in the end. As far as the service, he came out the first time and didn’t fix what needed to be fixed. He had to come back a second time but everything seems to be running appropriately now.

I was able to talk with a representative, Mariah, who helped find a good and expediant solution to my problems. She was kind and patient in helping me understand the process, and gave me a direct phone number and email so I could deal with the same person instead of needing to continuously re-explain everything to new people every time.

Our water heater stopped working and had leaking pipes on Friday morning. We have an old Apollo heating and cooling system in which the water heater is part of what heats the house. So we are without heat in 30-40 degree weather, and with no running water due to the pipe leaks. Called AHS and they sent out a guy who said it all needed to be replaced. But their company could not do it because they don't work on our weird system. AHS then transferred our work order to someone else, without telling us. I called AHS and then they told me who our contractor was, but when I called them they said they don't work on our system either. So I told AHS and they looked for someone else.
The next contractor they transferred us to also did not work on our system. Sunday morning I called AHS again to find out what the plan was, as they never communicate so I have to constantly call for updates, and asked them if I could please use my own guy because it's now been two days of no heat or running water and they still have no one to help us. That guy said to call back later because it has to be 24 hours since the last contractor work order was cancelled before they could authorize an outside contractor.
So I called later. But all this guy said is that they would email some contractor relations department to find me a contractor, and to call back tomorrow! All I get is constant run around and no one seems to care that we are cold and have no running water!! This is ridiculous! What if it was January and 5 degrees outside?! They are not worth the hassle and frustration to get their coverage, which when we replaced our air conditioning system, didn't even pay for 1/4 of the cost of that! I am definitely not renewing this contract!

The microwave was acting up. If you open the door, the fan would kick on and we were worried that it was radiating. I’ve seen it happen once or twice before where I’ll open it and it looked like it was still going. I would close it and open it again,and it was fine,but once it stopped working again, I called American Home Shield to file a claim. When I did it, I had the wrong number. The rep tried to give me a phone number to connect directly to schedule something and that line didn't work well. I was able to do the claim online and the site was reasonable easy to navigate through but I couldn’t find the paperwork myself to have the data they wanted.
The contractor popped up the front cover, pulled up the circuit board, did a few probes and popped in a new micro switch that he already had with him. Then, it behaved itself. He did it for less than an hour. I joked with him about how much it would’ve cost. We probably saved a little bit of money on the service call versus how much it would’ve cost to call blind, but we didn't know that. I specifically asked and it was $65 just to show up and look at it. He wasn’t there that long, so it probably wouldn’t have been more than 150. Also, he wasn't gonna work out a full detailed billing on that. It was just based on the time, he had a gut feeling.
We’ve had AHS since June and this is the third time we’ve had to call them. The first two were relatively soon after we moved in. We kind of looked around and waited to see what else we had wrong. One of them was for the toilets, which are low flow, so they clog. The contractor looked at it and it would require replacing the toilets. They function and do what they're supposed to do, but they have a limited amount of water, so there’s only so much pressure. We were having problems with the way they work and we have to replace them, which was not covered by AHS because they are technically functioning. There are four bathrooms and at 200 bucks for a toilet plus installation, we started adding up. You don’t drop 1000 bucks, and that’s something you budget and work out. You don’t control that casually.

Originally, the garage door wouldn’t close. It would go almost down, and then it would bump back up again. So the following morning, my husband went and looked at it, and he saw the cable. It looks like it had broke off. We called AHS and they dispatched the Overhead Door people out, which I got a call from. They set up an appointment and came out, and the guy fixed it. It turned out the cable had snapped off the springs. He was really good and fast. And then, we noticed that evening after the tech left that the garage door wasn’t closing all the way down. There was an inch or so gap on the bottom. So I called the Overhead Door company back and they set up an appointment to have the tech come back out. They gave AHS the info and the tech was dispatched to come back out. He spent 15-20 minutes here, fixed it, and it has been working fine.
When I submit claims, I normally call AHS and give them the info over the phone. I usually don’t have my contract number, because it’s a different contract every year and I don’t keep track of it. They'd assign a contract number and they'd tell me, “Okay, we’re gonna go ahead and get somebody out there to see what’s going on.” And it wasn’t usually very long. I'd hear from somebody back in 24-48 hours. We’ve had bad issues with contractors not diagnosing problems the correct way or occasionally, over-selling, trying to get us to buy something that we don’t need.
In 2010, when our heater went out, I called AHS and their contractor did an attempt to fix it. It didn’t work. I called AHS again. So there was another attempt to fix it. But it still didn’t work. Third try, still another attempt. It still didn’t work. And mind you, it was in the 20s here in the high desert. We were having a huge cold spell, and I had a house full of people. My son and grandkids were staying with us. Finally, one guy came out and said that my plenum is cracked. He said that I’ve got to shut the whole system down because it was leaking gas. He called AHS at that point and they said, “You gotta send me that email, and let us know,” which he did. “In the meantime, you need to call the gas company, and have the gas company out.” I called the gas company and they red-tagged the furnace. It took almost two months before we had a new operating furnace system here in the house. They fought me all the way, which was ridiculous.
Our AHS experience is sometimes good, sometimes it’s not. That’s the problem. Here’s the way AHS works, and most of them do work. The idea is to save AHS money. So if they can come out and they can fix rather than replace, even if it’s an old piece of equipment, they’re gonna fix rather than replace, because they don’t wanna spend the money. So when the garbage disposal got jammed, it was unjammed rather than get a replacement on it.

We had an issue with the ice maker. The contractor replaced several parts and it just never would start making ice. He only works on Thursdays.

It has been a long time, which is not normal for American Home Shield.
Finally last month, the contractor declared it dead and jumped through the hoops to get a replacement. AHS gave us three options. They would either ship us one that they deemed to be or replacement which is the same thing we had, just a newer model, or we could pick one and they would allow so much if we're willing to upgrade, or they would just declare it dead and send us a flat amount which is over two grand, and we could deal with it as we pleased, replace it or go on vacation. We want an ice maker and so it has been ordered. I got an email Monday from a lovely lady that's taking care of it and it should be delivered in the next 7 to 10 working days. Then she called me and she's already got me on the installation list for next week. The people who are gonna install it are also the ones who had been trying to repair it.
My husband is so tired of going to the convenience store and buying ice two or three nights a week. It's a hassle as we don't entertain like we used to. We have an ice maker in the kitchen, but it's an old refrigerator and it does not make enough ice even for our use, let alone if we have people over. It's been getting cranky and we just decided to wait 'til the summer when we won't entertain much to try to get it replaced. Not having an ice maker has been a minor inconvenience but not anything we couldn't deal with. As long as the ice maker could come in before Thanksgiving, I would be a happy camper. If it’s all gonna be taken care of in the next week or 10 days, we’re pleased.
We've been with American Home Shield for 20 years and in those years, they had replaced at least one ice maker in the refrigerator, air conditioner on the upstairs, a hot water heater, a microwave, and a dishwasher. We have nothing but the highest of praise and totally satisfied. I recommend them to anybody buying a house or sell.

We had a problem with the refrigerator. My wife went online and submitted a claim with AHS, then 7-H Home Services came out three days later. They had to order parts and when they came back and did the repair, they were there most of the day. Everything was good and they communicated fairly well with us. The refrigerator has been working perfectly since the repair, too.

I thank AHS for being so good. One of my neighbors told me about them. Then I have recommended AHS as well to two people. I'm 79 and this is a new company to me, and I was a nervous wreck but the rep was nice when I called in regarding the pump that wasn’t working. We weren’t getting a circulation of water. I was told to expect the contractors out in 24 to 48 hours. I told them it was not a problem because it was still not winter and I was not worried about it. I'm very happy with the contractors.

My doorbell was going off by itself randomly. The contractor came out to try to fix the doorbell and it didn’t work. So at some point around then, I got an email from American Home Shield about a status update of my work order and it said that with the redo of the doorbell fix, I had to call Robert Gibb and Sons. I called them and they said, “No, we don’t have a work order for that yet, so you have to call American Home Shield and have them call us,” which I did. And it all turned out fine. I was confused why I was told by the person I talked to from my American Home Shield, “That’s because you made the request online and you shouldn’t have done that." I had a very difficult time understanding the person and I thought that was what she said. Other than some communication glitches, my experience has been good. The contractors that came out were great. American Home Shield is a good deal.

Last month, the thermostat of our AC wasn't turning on. It wasn't getting any power. Right Tech Heating and Air, the contractor that AHS sent out, said that there was a fuse that had gone off, that was why it wasn't working. But I felt they took advantage of my wife because she was there by herself and charged her an exuberant amount for a recharging fee to recharge the unit, and it was a lot more than I had anticipated. We contacted them, but they made some excuse that something wasn't working and that all the Freon leaked out. But they never told me what they fixed so the Freon wouldn't leak out again. They just gave me the runaround on that.
I also had issue with the heater. The first technicians that came out said that they only do air conditioning and they don't do heating at all. So, I had to make another appointment and the exact same two technicians that was there the first time came out the second time. But I was there and they said they'd fix it. Why didn't they fix it the first time? And then, a third technician had to come out because there was a part that they didn't have, so they had to order it. And then, the third technician came out and fixed the heater. There was no extra charge for the second and the third visit. I was just peeved that when they were out the first time, they told my wife that they don't do heating and that they only do air conditioning when it was all one unit. They were giving her an excuse. When I got home, she said she ended up paying 600 bucks.
I was there the second and third time because I didn't want something weird to go on or my wife can't feel bad, because she felt bad the first time and she was apologizing to me, and that made me feel bad that she had to apologize to me for having that done. They gave me a receipt and it said $400 something for the labor and another $200 for cleaning. I have a few friends that are air conditioning technicians and I've talked to them. When I told them that the contractor just cleaned the unit outside, they said, "$200 tune-up is way too much." The contractor still haven't told me what they fixed for the $600 that we paid for, and that's when I called back.
I told AHS about it. I told them that I even called them up because I had to call back to have another technician come out for the heating part. They said they'll look into it and I haven't gotten a response at all. I was reading the contract and I understand that we're gonna have to pay $10 per gallon or per pound for the Freon and anything after that, it's our responsibility. But they took advantage just to make money and their receipt didn't say what they did. So far, both the heater and the air conditioner are working. The overall easiness wherein I call, I get text, I get emails, they were really good on that part. The problem is just the price. It just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I can't really blame American Home Shield but the companies they sent out are crappy. I had a problem with my furnace last year and a guy came out whom I paid my $75. Supposedly, he said he fixed it. And of course, it went out again. And so, then I paid another $75 a few days ago, last week. And the guy came out and supposedly fixed it. It worked about maybe 20 minutes after he left, and it hasn't worked since.
Then, I called AHS on Monday and Mason Mechanical came out. The tech said that he replaced a switch. That switch worked for about 15 minutes after he left and it hasn't come back on since. And so now, they're coming back out again and set up another service between 12:00 and 5:00 today, which to me is a very large window, but it's nothing I could do about that. So, nobody fixed it. They put a Band-Aid on it and that's it. And then it goes out when it's cold like now and I had no heat. Basically, I haven't had heat since the weekend. I'm being a little bit redundant 'cause I'm angry and I'm cold. He says, "Okay, fine." They left a great, big window, that is like to me is, it's just so unacceptable to have a window that big. A couple of hours, I can understand it. From 12:00 to 5:00, wow, that's a lot.
The last AHS representative I talked to, I could not understand what the heck he was saying. His accent was so deep and he kept saying, "Excuse me. What?" Finally, he told me, "All right, if you pay for a service charge and..." I guess it was that I have 30 days. I kinda like picked up bits and pieces of what he was saying to me. I'm not gonna say this exactly what he said, but I think he was saying to me, you have a 30-day window to go back, if you have a problem, and they'll come back out and fix it or whatever, and there's no charge, I think. I'm not for sure. That's all I can think right now. 'Cause I couldn't understand him. I don't really know exactly what he was saying to me.
Overall, AHS was there. It's not like, "Hey, listen, we can't help you." I called on the weekend and nobody can do anything but it's not their fault. So, I just left the house and went to stay with a friend. It wasn't a big of a deal. Still, I realized that commercial that comes on TV where the woman says, "Hey, I called American Home Shield and they came right over." I'm like, "Really? Okay." That doesn't work. I'm sure people are thinking, "Listen, it's a service for 24 hours a day or whatever, but it's not like that." You can call 24 hours a day but you're not going to get a service. Nobody's gonna come out here 24 hours a day. That's not gonna happen. Still, AHS did what they were supposed to do and contacted a company and they came out when they could.

I also called last week to have somebody come out and check our heater just for maintenance on it and they were very helpful. I had them install a new thermostat, which was done yesterday, and it went great. The contractors were there when they said they would be there, and did the work just fine.
I have been telling my friends how easy it is with Home Shield and that it's nice not having to worry about things.

So I called American Home Shield and told them the issue that I wasn’t receiving any communication. They contacted the contractor and made an appointment while I was online. That was a little bit frustrating. But the contractor was totally great. The warranty is extremely valuable. I’ve saved thousands of dollars in this past year when I bought the house. My favorite thing about it is being able to go online and put in service request through that and be able to check on status. I like it. It was just unusual that I had a hiccup with these two service requests last week.

One of our outlets our outlet was flickering and it would just shut off. I submitted a claim to AHS who then sent Kingdom Electric.

For any questions I’ve had, their reps either had the answers or they got back to me pretty quickly with the answers. As for the contractors they send, two of the three that I’ve had contact with had been awesome.
However, there was one contractor that I requested from American Home Shield not to send back out to my house. That contractor came, set an appointment but then was six to eight hours late. Plus, they were not even calling us to tell us that they were gonna be later. When they showed up, they did shoddy work and used an old valve to try to fix our air conditioning.

My problems are still not fixed but American Home Shield is doing what they can. I have two claims with them, and neither of them are fixed yet. They’ve had two different plumbers come out for the leak that’s outside. They’re very professional and very timely. They replaced the pressure regulator. But now, they think it may have been a faulty one, so now, they have to replace it again. So, a service person is supposed to be coming out today.
The initial guy that came out was great, and he was very helpful. The leak is outside of the building, and it’s from the pressure release valve. And so, he changed the valve. That didn’t work. So, then he changed the actual pressure regulator. He said maybe that’s gone faulty, and that actually made things worse. And that’s when the guy that did all of that said, “You know, I really don’t know what else I can do.” He was kinda stumped. He didn’t know what to do. So, they sent in a different person, and he came in yesterday morning. He checked it, put in his pressure thing, and he said that the new regulator is not working properly. And he said, “I can’t change it because whoever changed it supposedly bought a new one, and they need to go wherever they bought it and get a refund and get a new one,” which made sense to me. The problem is every time this happens, I have to stay home between 11:00 and 5:00.
Usually, I leave but I'm staying home today because the first plumber said he’ll come today. But he hasn’t given me a time yet either. So, I’m stuck at home. I told him, “You know what, call me by noon. I would be home until noon anyway." But I also said, “If you can’t make it by noon, call me and let me know exactly what time you can make it, and I’ll make sure I get back home.” I’m just running errands. At this point, I’m not gonna go to work. It’s just little things. But I don’t know if that’s any of the insurance’s fault.
The garage door claim has been going on for a long time too. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on with the garage door thing. I have to call AHS and find out because I didn’t fully trust the technician that came out. He said six different things like, “Oh, I have to replace this, and it’ll work.” This has been going on for almost a month and a half. And he replaced something, and it didn’t work. Then he came back and replaced some other part, and it worked for a few days, and then it stopped. Then he said he had to order a part. He was here yesterday, and I heard him kinda arguing with AHS because he was saying that he’s replaced every single piece of this equipment and nothing is working and that we should get a new one, and that it’s not worth trying to fix anymore at this point. I heard him saying that over the phone, and then he hung up.
I talked to him, and then he said, “Well, it’s going to cost you though. Even though it has a lifetime warranty, I talked to the home insurance, and they’re gonna want you to get the newer model. And the newer model is more expensive, so you’re gonna have to pay the difference.” So, I started asking him just out of curiosity how much the whole unit will be. He said it’s really expensive and that I'm gonna have to talk to AHS. And then he said, “But I’ll come back. Whatever they give you, with an additional $200, I’ll put a new one.” I thought, “What do you mean whatever they give me?” And he said, “It might a couple of days for you to call them and talk to them.” So, it kinda went back-and-forth like that.
AHS hasn’t contacted me yet. They were on the phone with him, but they didn’t contact me. The service person kept telling them, “I’m not gonna replace any more components of this because I’ve replaced all the major components, and if it’s not working, that means it’s just dead.” So, I plan on giving AHS a call today and seeing what their decision is and how they’re gonna handle it.
The contractors have been very professional and very nice. And they all seem to be doing their best. It maybe that these two jobs that I’m working on are things they never really handled or it’s just a fluke. I had a different home warranty last year, and AHS has been much more responsive and quick. I call, and I can get through to a live person. For both of these requests, immediately, once I put them in the computer, someone called me within a few hours. That never happened with the other home insurance. It would go days before anybody would call me. AHS has been very good about sending messages through the phone in terms of, “Technician is on their way. They’ll be here in 15 minutes.” Things like that have been very helpful. And I got none of that paying more for the other home warranty.
I’ve been very happy because, at least, I feel like when I try to get a hold of someone, or when I have an issue, they’d respond. Even with these things, they immediately sent somebody else to come check it. The initial plumber came in the next day. He called me that day, and he came in the following day. That was very quick. And with the garage, they gave me some options, but I was working so it didn’t work for me. And for me, the garage not opening was not a big emergency, so I told them I would rather do it on a Friday, and they accommodated me for that. The plumber called right away and came right away.
I had one other claim with AHS with my faucet. It was very minor. It was leaking in the kitchen underneath. And the same plumber came for that and fixed it in 15 minutes, and that was great. In some ways, I’ve learned that the home warranty is not for big emergencies. I have my own plumber, and if water was gushing out of somewhere, I would probably just call my own plumber and have him check it. But I’d like to have AHS as a backup for things that come up that aren’t emergencies. And I’m happy they’re responding.

I don’t know what the OE code represents, but sometimes it completes a cycle and sometimes it doesn’t. I haven’t had an opportunity to call Jones back to have them come out and take a look at it again because they told me to do that if it continued to throw codes. It just started doing it this weekend about four days after they put the new part in.
American Home Shield is fine from a standpoint that they covered the stuff. There’s a $125 service charge for the claim just like they said. Although they did not inform me that my monthly fee was gonna go up once I made a claim. The very next monthly payment went from 47.99 to 51.99. We’re not really happy with that. Also, I’m not really thrilled that they sent out Jones Appliance who was 20 miles away from me. There are other appliance places that are closer, but Jones did a fine job. It's just that the part they replaced didn’t fix the problem. So now, they gotta come back out and look at it again.

I certainly apologize that it was not clear that the item was not covered.

I received an offer at some point and I’ve had American Home Shield somewhere between 10 and 14 years. I’m sorta old fashioned a lot of times and I’m comfortable picking up the telephone rather than using a computer but either way, submitting a claim has been very easy. I dropped a penny in the garbage disposal and it got stuck. The plumber who came showed me that it was more than wear and tear and I wound up purchasing a new garbage disposal, which was fine. Even though the one that we got wasn’t the original, I was satisfied since we’ve been in the home 16 years. Marshall, the fellow who came, was very personable. It was a good experience all-around.

I put a request in with American Home Shield on Saturday and using the website was fairly straightforward. There were a few issues- a water leakage, old pipes, and a toilet issue. The contractors showed up on Monday and were here for an hour or so. They knew what they were doing, but the garbage disposal they installed did not have a reset button at the bottom. I asked them to reopen the work order so they could change that to something which has a reset button. With the one they installed right now, if some food gets stuck, then it’s not gonna be operable.

I used Home Shield's website a couple of times and it was very easy. I went online to submit my claims for both of my toilets. It took the contractor a day to come out. The tech came in and did his job. We chatted a little bit, which went very nice. The repair took less than an hour and he was gone. I had one toilet that the flange was loose, so the tech had to tighten all that stuff down. Now everything works great. And then another toilet ended up being broken so we're scrapping that toilet altogether and I'm getting a new one. I assumed I would pay for it and that's just what I was planning on doing.

I had a claim for some faucets that were leaking and a toilet that would occasionally run. It was all in the same bathroom.

In the summer, Next Gen came out and fixed our air conditioning again. Then when it got cold and we turned the heat on, we’ve got no heat. Next Gen installed a new compressor with no heat pump on it. So, we couldn’t even generate heat. It was par for the American Home Shield course. So Millennial HVAC came out, and there wasn’t anything they could do because they certainly wasn’t prepared for that. So, I need to call AHS. It’s been on my list every day to call them and let them know what happened and see if they are gonna fix something like it should be for a change. We had nothing but horrible problems with American Home Shield.
They won’t allow the people to fix it like it should be because they don’t want to spend the money. I think that the contractors’ hands are tied because American Home Shield won’t let them fix anything more than $200, so they cost us thousands and thousands of dollars. Every time they came out, they had to put bandaids on top of bandaids instead of fixing the real problem. Plus every time we have an AC unit issue or a leaking coolant or refrigerant, they tell us initially, “Well, you’re not leaking.” Refrigerant doesn’t just disappear. And then they come and put a bandaid on the coil and it costs us a grand to fill it full of Freon and in two months it happens again. We pay another grand for Freon, and this has been going on for years.

When some of my electrical outlets in my kitchen stopped working, I called American Home Shield and spoke to someone. I work and asked if they had a company that could come out after work. I kept saying I needed someone to come out after 4:00, but they gave me someone who would not come out. I kept calling them and asked if they could give me someone else. They said they couldn't. I really don't like that and I might even switch to another company. If you are trying to be customer service oriented and you know most of your customers work, then you should have some vendors that will come out after work hours or on the weekends.
I had to have a day off from work to get the repair done and that was two weeks after I called. I was given a four-hour window and the rep said they'd call before they come. I said that doesn't help if I'm in a classroom because I can't walk out. The rep said, "When something is important to you." I said, "Hold on a minute. I know I'm over the phone, but that isn't how we talk to adults." My last two experiences with AHS in three years have not been positive. They're not a bad company, but they weren't very customer-friendly and that's gonna make them look like a bad company. Other than that, everything else about AHS is good.

We had a plumber come out through AHS for my bathroom in my bedroom. This company was a little further away, but that’s who AHS had a contract with. Also, we had the times wrong. They had told me that they would come between 2:00 and 6:00. The plumber called me at 11 o'clock in the morning saying that he would be at my place in 40 minutes. The truck he came in had no signage and he was a little scruffy-looking. So I said that before I would let him in my house, I would need to see proof of who he was. He showed me his driver's license and a business card without his name on it. He was professional in the way he acted, went upstairs and did his thing. The clog was drained and he put a plastic thing down that I could have done myself. He took out what was down there and poured some stuff in. Initially, I was a little nervous but that was unfounded. He couldn’t be more polite.

I had somebody come in and fix the garbage disposal. While I was doing the paperwork, when I asked for service, I saw that AHS was having an offer for service, to service the heater for $75. I’ve been in the house for two years and I’ve never done it before. I know the unit is about 10 years old so I had it serviced before it’s damaged. I went online and filed a claim to AHS and the tech guy came over to service it. I didn't want to have a problem with the heater, that’s why I had it serviced. Otherwise, you’d have to pay an arm and a leg.
Prior to that, I had the garbage disposal fixed. It hasn’t worked since I moved in. I called AHS and the guy that came over said that there were pieces of rubber inside of the garbage disposal and it needed to be replaced. I said okay. I knew it was something that needed to be fixed and I know a garbage disposal costs about $100. But the tech said that AHS would never give me any claim for it. I told him to just have it done. I paid $100 for the call and $225 for the garbage disposal. So, it’s a bit too much. But the guy was here, he didn't make a hassle and just worked. I accepted the cost because I wanted a new garbage disposal, so it was done. The new one was put in the same day that the tech came over, Friday, the 25th of October. And the installer was extremely nice. Both of the guys that have come here have been extremely nice.
So far, my experience with AHS has been good. I pay AHS $49.99 a month and they charge $100 for somebody to come, so it’s $150. Plus 225 for the garbage disposal, that was a lot of money. But the $75 to service a heater plus the $49 a month was a good deal. My main concern is the air conditioner. What if that thing breaks? That’s gonna be about five grand. Before summer starts, I’m gonna have it serviced because we need to have things working.

We've had American Home Shield for years. I was amazed at their service from the start, and so I've stayed with them. In fact, I've signed up a few other people. I have encouraged others too, especially when we get to be older and by ourselves. It's really nice to have the backup, so to speak. I like having somebody come out within hours. I've not had a call, a need, that wasn't met to my satisfaction. When we first got it, we have purchased the house and it needed some redoing. I told AHS on the phone, "I first heard about you but, guess what, they don't even come out and inspect the house." The rep said, "Nope, that's fine. You get it." And they replaced several appliances, upgraded parts and repaired things in that house and that amazed me. I thought, you're gonna have to have AHS come out, look and see what the damages already are before they insure you for fixing stuff. But they said, that's the way they do it, so it was really nice.
Most of the contractors that came out were very happy to be working for AHS and they, in turn, tell me how to use the system best. Like recently, I had the garage door issue. When I learned what was wrong with it, I knew it wasn't covered by AHS. But the gentleman that was talking to me said if he finds something else, that will be covered by AHS. And I got a little better rate because he came through them. And the guy who came out for the washing machine said, "Normally, they don't let me rebuild them." He then called AHS and said, "This is a good machine." It was a Maytag and AHS let him rebuild it. And it took him three days coming out and working after he got parts, and AHS approved it and my washer was fixed instead of having to get another one, which would have been a lesser quality had they bought a new one for me. So, I thought that was another good thing.

I had a claim for the garage door where AHS sent out a tech from Smokey’s. Being an engineer, I know a lot about a lot of things and I had a great time with that kid. He explained everything and what was wrong. It was hard to find the type of battery it takes to open the garage door from the outside, but I managed. The only thing is, he used WD-40 for a lubricant and that really isn’t meant as a lubricant. The kid said he knew that but it was not his choice and he doesn't own the company. Other than that, I was totally satisfied with his service.
At the moment, I have an ongoing claim on the air-conditioning that I’m really unhappy about. I wasn't home all summer and that thing was set at 85 degrees and running. When I came home, I turned it down to 80 and three hours later, it hadn’t changed. It was not working at all, so I called AHS. The tech that they sent out checked both ends but he never found the leak. He wanted to put 8 pounds of Freon in at over 800 bucks to check for the leak, but I know a lot about pressurizing systems and looking for leaks, and that’s not how you check for leaks. You put a gauge on, you pressurize it with nitrogen, and see if it holds air. That tells me that that air-conditioning company doesn’t know how to do work. Why would AHS use somebody who'd do that instead of pressurizing it with nitrogen? Nitrogen doesn’t cost anything.
Right now, they’ve replaced both ends of the unit and we don’t know if I have a leak. But all the Freon was missing out of it and that tells you there’s a leak. Plus, it’s an R-22 unit. Come January, you’re not gonna be able to get R-22 anyhow. So, I ended up paying $6,000 and change for this thing and I shouldn’t have to pay anything. But the technician told me that no matter what, Home Shield will never replace it. That was interesting. These people work for them and that was not what I wanted to hear. I’ll call American Home Shield again and bug them about this. As a matter of fact, there’s no reason for me to have American Home Shield anymore because everything inside the house is brand new now. I only got the policy because of the air-conditioning and based of my experience, I’m dissatisfied with AHS.

I just went over a year this month and renewed with American Home Shield last month because they were good up until the incident with Southern Comfort.

But if you’re gonna make me take them, I’ll take them.” And so, it went back and forth.
I called Southern Comfort, and they said they would call AHS to say they're available. They also told us to call American Home Shield's dispatch line but the current wait was 15 to 30 minutes. I called Southern Comfort back and said that I refuse to wait. They said, they'd take care of it. That’s been three or four days ago and I haven’t heard from Southern Comfort or American Home Shield since then.
AHS could improve on their communication big time. If they sent out one company to do an inspection on my heater, then that company should be the company that comes back out. They’re the ones that found the errors, not some other company. I haven’t called American Home Shield nor Southern Comfort back yet, and my heater still needs to be fixed. But I’m still not saying anything bad about American Home Shield ‘cause they’ve always taken care of us.

The faucet in the guest bathroom upstairs in the shower wouldn’t turn off. So I had to go outside and shut the water off. I called American Home because the water would have gone down through the floor downstairs, on the ceiling. AHS went out of their way. The first plumbing company couldn’t do it until the following Thursday, and I couldn’t leave the water in the house off for three to four days. So, the claims rep said, “Let me put you on a hold for just two minutes, I’ll check a couple more places and see if we can get one over the emergency today.” So she came back on the line and said, “I got a plumbing company that’ll be over there between 12:00 and 1:00.” And they got here about 12:30, which was great.
The technician was a super nice guy. He went upstairs, went into the bathroom and took off the faucet. He knew what it was right off the bat. It was the cartridge in it that had gone bad and the cold and hot water wouldn’t shut off. He pulled it out, put the cartridge in and put it back on and tightened it, and had me get down to turn on the water. He tried it to see if it was leaking or anything, and it wasn’t. So, it was fixed. And it didn’t take him more than 15 minutes. He really knew what he was doing. I referred AHS to others a couple of times.

When my garage door stopped working, submitting the claim was very easy. I just went online and did what I needed to do. The tech was well-prepared, identified the issue very quickly and did the work quickly as well. It was an excellent service. Although not American Home Shield's fault, depending on the type of service, it will take longer to get a service provider. For example, when I had an issue with plumbing, it took a long time to get someone to fix it. Other than that, other types of services have been relatively quick.

I prefer over the phone when putting a claim in so that I know it’s getting taken care of. I don’t trust machines. When my dryer wasn't starting, the claims process was really straightforward. I was a little hesitant with contractors but the contractors were exceptional. The one who came kept me informed on when he’d be here. They exceeded the expectations that they set, which was huge. They told me 10 days to get my part, but he called me the next day saying that they had it. So, that was good. The only hiccup was I think internally with them. Somebody had given him the wrong part. And so, he had to step away to get the correct one. But they had it and he came back the same day.

We had a problem with our refrigerator. Our freezer was leaking water from the ice maker and freezing up, and Atlas Residential Services came out and replaced the ice maker and a valve that needed to be replaced. They knew what they were doing, and they came out within a few days. The service was prompt. So far, so good. Submitting the claim with American Home Shield was very easy. They do well with what they do, but as far as some information, you expect one thing and you might get another. But overall, AHS has done well. If a friend would ask me, I would tell them they might do well to take on American Home Shield.

I've had coverage with them ever since I’ve had the house in 2004 and I’ve just about always had good service from them.

The baseboard heater sparked when I turned it on. I filed the claim over the phone. It was a recording and I never spoke with a person. The contractors called on time however the first ones that were dispatched didn’t have to come because the recording got wrong information somehow. It didn’t understand what I said and it sent the wrong company to call. Actually, the company told me that they couldn’t service it so they called American Home Shield and told them the issue. Then the Chaney company was dispatched and they came on time. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the services I've received so far. I would tell others that I'd purchase American Home Shield again.

He told me I needed to do a separate order for the dishwasher, which I did and he fixed the problem. I needed it fast because I needed to prepare for out-patient surgery.

American Home Shield was quick to my initial claim on the phone for my dishwasher. Apex Appliance came out and diagnosed it, and had to order a part. As soon as the part came in, I got on a schedule, and everything went real smooth. They replaced the tube and a portion of the drain motor. It took a total of two weeks to complete the claim, but I understand it takes a little bit of time to order a part. So two weeks is fine.
I’ve been a customer of American Home Shield on and off for many years. I had them in Chesterfield, Virginia and Midlothian, Virginia for seven years. And then I moved to Tennessee, and had American Home Shield outside of Memphis Tennessee and Collierville, Tennessee for four years. I went back to American Home Shield about a year or two ago. So, I’ve been pleased. It’s been a good experience overall with the minor issues and things of that nature that have come up.

The AC company Home Shield assigned to me was horrible. My thermostat was broken and when the tech first came he offered to put a very cheap $25 thermostat. My thermostat cost around $600, which came with the AC unit when we bought it at Costco. On the second time, he came with a thermostat and tried to fix it but it was a wrong thermostat. Third time, he came without a bag and it was still the wrong thermostat. Fourth time, he spent an hour and a half trying to put the thermostat, and he said that was still not the right one. We had to order it, which would take three to five business days, and it’s more than 10 days now. I called the company yesterday and they said I need to submit a new claim. I'm very upset. I heard the review on this AC company is very bad, 1-star review. Home Shield needs to be careful with their contractors.

There was a period of time with American Home Shield where they started putting in these people who didn’t speak English and I have never had so much frustration with people who did not understand me. I would ask them a question and they would read off this answer that didn’t answer my question. It looked like they were reading out of a book because they didn’t know what I was saying. When I made a claim for the garage door, I waited five days, nobody came, and I couldn’t open or close the door. I had to do it manually.
A certain lady gave me authorization to find my own contractor, so I did and he came out and told me what I had to do. He was so good. He did the job, and he charged me 460 bucks but it took AHS a long time to give me my money back. I had to keep calling them because they said I needed to fax a piece of paper to so and so who replied and said they didn't have that paper, and I was not even supposed to send it there. The reps didn't know what they were talking about because someone told me one thing, then someone else is telling me another thing. I even have a confirmation on my fax machine that what I sent came through.
It was a terrible experience and I was so frustrated. I was really mad, but they did send the check. I had to call person, after person to finally get someone who cared and who could actually talk to me. They must’ve gotten all kinds of complaints, so I haven’t had that problem since and other than that, every other experience with AHS has been for me 100%. They’re fantastic and everyone they’ve sent to me has been amazing. Everyone’s been very professional, done a good job, in and out, and no problems afterwards.

There was a noise in our heater and I was concerned that there was something wrong with the heat exchanger. I went on the website of American Home Shield and checked the box on what I wanted to submit a claim about. It was really easy to do. Then they sent out Air-Tech Heating & Air Conditioning, LLC. Initially, we were told to expect the contractor out in 24 to 48 hours but it happened quicker than that. Also, the issue was a very difficult thing to figure out but they went aboveboard to figure out what it was and to fix it. Everything has been functioning well since the service, too. All in all, having the home warranty is useful and is kind of a safety net since we don’t know what condition anything is in in the property.

Worst customer service EVER. This company is set up to profit, which means, they do not pay out, and will look for every excuse not to. Within two years, they "replaced" my evaporator coil twice, and when it broke the third time, again only offered replacement of the part, not to replace the 12 year old unit. Instead, I opted for the cash out of $690, but ha, ya, umm.. of course they every excuse not to pay this. Did I mention that every time they replaced the coil, I had to pay $600 out of pocket for freon, in addition to the $125 service call? Wicked scammers, this company. You are so much better off paying for repairs out of pocket. Save the premiums and bank them to cover repairs the right way.

I scraped together what little “extra” I had to purchase a policy since I am unemployed and looking for work that can accommodate my disability, and this is the SECOND time I was denied coverage! BUYER BEWARE! They will use any and every loophole to get out of paying a claim!

I am on week 4 without a refrigerator. I have been a AHS customer for years and have had a few very successful interactions. However, companies are not defined by how they handle things when everything is perfect, they are defined by how they handle circumstances when something goes wrong. AHS sent a contractor to my home to repair a refrigerator. They came out, in 5 days, and diagnosed the problem and ordered parts. I was alerted when the parts came in, 9 days later. I called contractor multiple times to schedule repair without response. I got AHS customer service involved and, frankly, they were no help. Each time I called, they attempted to contact the contractor, sent him a sternly worded email, and told me they would follow up.
I am now 24 days without a refrigerator, called AHS and requested a change in contractor since they are not responding to either me or AHS's repeated requests. I was told by AHS that they are having difficulty approving the contractor change because parts were ordered and I may be responsible for any restocking fee on parts. WOW! They hire a bad contractor and want to stick me with the fees. Meanwhile, AHS continues to charge my credit card monthly and I am going out to my garage every morning to get a gallon of milk. At least their billing department is efficient.

I've been with American Home Shield since 2010 thinking they were honest and truthful about standing by their words and thinking they subcontract the best contractors in my surrounding area. This is not the case. Both my HVAC units have been running out of freon for years. They never conducted a leak test. It always happen in the spring.
We had a problem with our unit again this Year about the same time I called for service. My family was burning up. Meaning it was 90 degrees in our home. They couldn't come till three days later so I call a local contractor to check our units out. They put freon in it. Cost me $160 dollars. I ask about the freon and how american home shield sent contractors out almost every year about this issue. The tech said, "Sir you are being rob hvac units. Do not leak this. Should have been resolve years ago. With your unit being old you should it should have had a leak test. It usually takes 1hour or longer." Explain this never ever happen. I have the records. All receipts to prove it!!
I have cancel our contract with them. I have broken items right now. It's cheaper to fix ourselves. Meaning having a local contractor who is honest. We have pay $75.00 for a service fee and when the repairman arrive he have a $4.00 part that I waited on for a week. I have receipts! Yes they got a us new washer but after failed attempts and $75 service fees and the money I paid over the-years they should have, cause basically after you have paid for service fees and 50+ dollars in monthly contract fees you really paid for your own stuff.
As I talk with some local services they said, "We don't deal with american home shield", I see why. They they are dishonest. We made a complaint to them about our units. They said the representatives you never ever got the same one, they would give us a call!. It's been a number of months but two days ago they call and said I owed $107 dollars. Wow. We were blown away and immediately cancel our contract which they auto renew without your consent and then harass you. I still haven't received any document or email stating consolation but I have a recording stating that and what was said. This warranty is useless and not worth the time or effort. You would do better putting money into an account of your own so if something breaks you can replace it or have it repaired properly the first time.
