American Home Shield gives discount for a pre-season checkup for heating and cooling, and that’s what I did for my heating. The guys came out and cleaned the heater up. They checked it up and made sure it was running okay. I've used them for maintenance and they know who I am and where I live. They contact me and I contact them ‘cause they usually can't reach me the first time. We make an appointment and they come out on the appointed time. They do the job and leave. They're very polite and well-mannered. They tell me what’s going on. I've asked them questions about the R22 being faded out and what are the things to do. They spoke about it and told me how to go through Home Shield and get the new air conditioner put in in the next year or two. I called Home Shield a couple of times for something that broke down. It was immediately taken care of and I paid what I was supposed to pay. The contractor came out and did the job. I didn’t have to wait.

I've had some work done on my HVAC unit over the summer due to a leak, and it turned out that someone had turned off the gas. It was as simple as turning the gas back on and one would think that during a heating inspection, they would check that. However, Starlight HVAC, the first team that came out, did a crappy job and so they're not my friend. I was told that my heater worked but 2 weeks later, it wouldn't heat even though it would come on. It resulted in me having to call American Home Shield for the second time so a guy from Metropolitan Heating and Air Conditioning came out and he fixed it. So, the whole experience was not a good because I had to miss work twice, and it turned out that the problem was very simple.
When I submit claims, it can take 10 to 15 minutes to get to a live agent so it's difficult sometimes. The second time I had to call for the heater, I had a terrible time getting a hold of someone. One of the agents actually just hung up on me after I've been on hold for about 7 or 8 minutes. Then, it took me calling back 4 times to get a supervisor and it took 45 minutes to get supervisor on the phone. That was a very bad experience but the supervisor said that she reversed the $75 inspection charge.
I've had American Home Shield for about 5 years now, and I'm happy with them overall. I've had them send someone out and fix my geriatric dryer a couple times. The dryer is on its last leg and if I let go, sometimes, it doesn't shut off by itself. And if I'm falling to sleep, it will run all night and burn itself out. I also had my geriatric dishwasher fixed. It doesn't look great but it works now. The biggest thing I've ever had them do is that when my AC went out, they came and put a new unit in, and it has worked great.

I had never lived with a heat pump before, and the thing shut off one morning. There was a loud disconnect sound. American Home Shield's contractor came here and he was really nice. He checked everything out and gave me an education of what was going on. Heat pumps actually had defrost modes. And while they're running, they reverse the refrigerant to check to see if they're icing up. Not only did I get education, but it was a relief because this thing had gotten cold enough to where it starts doing the self-diagnostic stuff.
I also had a guy out here for the refrigerator. It had been making noise since I moved in to the place in April, but I kept putting off filing a claim because I didn't want the hassle. But I was surprised how easy that process went. I just called up and told the lady the problems I was having. The tech came out and it turned out to be the ice maker. Once it freezes the ice, it heats the tray, and then it’s got a little knocker in there that loosens the ice from the tray so it’ll dump. The tech said the heating part of it was going out, and it got to where it knocks. It got stuck doing that, just over and over, and you can hear it all through the house.
There was a couple of other noises but the strange thing is, when the guy came out, the fridge quit making the noise. He said he couldn’t fix it if he can’t hear what it’s doing. And the fridge hasn’t made the noise since he has been here. They're now ordering the ice maker for it, and they said they would get back to me in 5 to 10 days. So, I’m a happy camper.

Our dishwasher was backing up with water. My wife submitted a claim to AHS and AG Appliance Repair came out to do service. The tech was a good guy and he knew what he was doing. He was able to address the problem but what he did didn't fix it. We had to escalate it to a plumber but he at least pointed us on the right direction.
On another one of our claims, we were a bit miffed because one of the contractors didn't fix the problem but then AHS just closed out the file without informing us why. It took us a bit of time to communicate with them. Better communication on that portion of my experience would have been nicer. Still, everything has been good so far with Home Shield.
Hi Daniel,
I would like to thank you for sharing your experience to have the dishwasher repaired. I would be glad to speak with you and get the issue resolved.

I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for my furnace and everything went well. My husband and I both work during the day, and they offered to come the next day, but I had executive meetings that I couldn’t miss, so we ended up having to schedule it for later in the week. They were awesome and the customer service was exemplary. Butch, the guy who came out, was excellent and he shared our options with us. He talked about what the problem was so, we were excited. He was good. The furnace was a bust, so we ended up having to get a new furnace. We scheduled to have them install a new furnace, which took a little bit longer but we had it done before the weather got cold. It took about a week at the most.

Someone recommended AHS so I got them. If I need a repairman they have someone come out and fix the machine. I have to pay the standard charge, and then everything is fine. A contractor came out for the oven the second time, and they couldn't find the parts to fix it, so they replaced it with a brand new oven. The service has been very good.

When we got a fake charge from the company pretending to be American Home Shield, they wanted us to give them $65 and they called themselves Home Shield. I called AHS and talked to someone, and they said to disregard it. Otherwise, everything was great. We sent a copy of the fake Home Shield thing to our Realtor and he was gonna talk to the company.

My condenser went out. And my fan, it would kick on, but wouldn’t start spinning just ‘cause there wasn’t enough power because of the condenser. Climate Express diagnosed the problem in 5 minutes, and they were out of here in 10 minutes. They replaced it and it was great. When I had a plumbing issue not too long ago, I thought a clogged up sink meant a clogged up sink, but apparently, if it was grease, that didn’t count. They didn’t cover that section of it. But otherwise, I’ve had a good experience with American Home Shield whom I've been with for two years now. It's been pretty easy to file a claim as well.

I've shopped around and spent a month figuring out who is who and what's going on. At the end of the day, I chose AHS because of how professional they ran their site and their claims process and how the things looked from an outsider looking in. The other companies all overly solicited me for discounts and special deals and tomorrow. It was a joke. And then, when you went into their site to really navigate what they can do, what's covered, it was less professional than the people with the website, which I gave it to AHS.
I got two properties with AHS and I will continue to use them, especially since they did negotiate the cost of that service down a little bit to be more competitive because I was shopping around so much. But it was a pleasure as opposed to less than that. Whenever I submit a claim, it has been convenient, timely, and professional. They would tell me that they scheduled the company to come out and they would ask me if I wanna pay the $100 deductible now or later. I would tell them later and then I get a bill after the tech came, and that's really great. But now, they don't give me the option. They're changing things around. But regardless, it's all done right.
My experience with the contractors has been excellent, except for one faux pas they had that they didn't use the same contractor, who charged me for something that they didn't do. And that was a bit upsetting. But the contractors change. AHS can't control it all. They're at the whim of whoever they send to represent them, and they'll lose their contract if they get enough complaints. So if they wanna keep it, they'll do it.
When I bought the service for one of the properties three years ago, it was all good and everything was covered with the AC up to so much if you read all the fine print. I had to file a claim for an AC unit and the tech came out and they told me that they were gonna charge me for the Freon, but they would give me a discount. But I told them that this wasn't in the fine print in the beginning. After I'm a customer for four months already, they send me this new updated thing. That can be expensive.
Right after that, I had the service, and they had to change some other thing. It was 10 pounds of Freon and it was 550 bucks with their discounted rate. So instead of paying $100, I had to pay the 550, and I squawked about it and said that it was not fair. They changed the deal after we made our contract and said, "This is what we're doing effective tomorrow." I checked the rate of the Freon, and their discounted rate was not discounted, even though that contractor said it was. It was still $55 a pound, which is market rate of 40 to 60. So that was a little bit of a bad feeling, but they did a $2,500 repair. So $100 plus and Freon is good.

I had a plumbing issue on a rental property. The tenant called and said that they had an odor in the house, which smelled like a wet odor. It must have been a leak that has been going on for a while that they didn't know about. He said they pulled the things out of the closet and the floor was damp. I told them to open the access door and see if something was leaking behind the bathtub. He said there was a leak there somewhere, but he didn't know where it was coming from. I put in a claim to American Home Shield that night, on a Sunday, and I said that it was causing secondary damage because the floor was damp. They assigned Greenway Home Services. When I called them the next day, they said, "We're scheduled to go out tomorrow." I said, "It's causing some damage to the house, so if you could, can you go out today?" They said that I'd have to call AHS, which I did and AHS responded, and they sent someone out that day.
Back in February, the tenant had a leaking spout on the bathtub and I had Faucet Doctors Plumbing go out, and the tech repaired that. What the Greenway tech found when he got there was the spout began to leak again. He said something about the drain being compromised so he had to replace the drain, something on the bottom of the tub. He explained to me that the water was coming from the spout in the bathtub. Even though the drain was leaking, the spout on the bathtub was still leaking. He said that I had to call AHS and put in another claim. He didn't wanna include that part in their claim.
I didn't understand if that was part of the problem that was being caused. But because the water was coming from that, then that should have been a part of the call too. There was a leak so there was something under the tub that was compromised that made the water go not in the drain, but on the ground, under the house. To me, all of that was part of the problem that needed to be corrected. I don't know if the tech fixed it, but when they ended up leaving the house, my tenant said that the spout wasn't leaking anymore
I can understand that when I call AHS, I have to give their contractors time to come out. But if it's an emergency, my tenant for example who has prostate cancer, if something happens in that house, I have to put that on the front burner and not delay it because he has home healthcare people come out. As long as AHS understand that when I'm in a situation like that, it has to be expedited, in terms of when the heat goes out or air goes out because it can't be a two or three-day thing with somebody like that. Other than that, I try to improvise like buy a heater until the contractors get here. My tenants have been in the houses for years, so they don't move. They know me in terms of what I'll do.
Overall, we were very satisfied with Greenway. They were really responsive. The tech guy talked to me on the phone about the problem, and then he called me and told me what was going on. Not that I understand everything because I'm not there, but I had an idea. And they were very receptive. The tech also took a supervisor out because they had to go back because he didn't have certain parts. And everything came together. I don't know why it stopped leaking all of a sudden. They did fix the tub part and I don't know what happened with the spout part. I'm very satisfied with AHS's service. On a lot of rental properties I had with them, they never gave me a problem with anything.

I’ve been with American Home Shield for two and a half years and there has been no issues with the claims process. Everything is user-friendly.

Considering that it was the weekend, it was fine and although it wasn’t fun being out of water for four days, it was completely a reasonable time frame.

AHS has met my needs for fixing both times I needed them. One time, there was a part in my pool filter that leads to the pump which snapped. The pump normally pulls water into the filter then shoots it over into the pump. I submitted a claim to AHS as there was a bunch of leaks 'cause of the pressure that built up. The pump wasn't sucking. Platinum Pool Care's tech came out. He brought a piece out, fixed that and fixed all of the piping leading to the pump as well.
This has been the second time that Platinum has come out and their tech was very good. However, Platinum doesn't answer the phone. They only wanna text. The tech explained to me that he answers 30 houses a day, that he and his girlfriend run the company and that sometimes, they don't have time to answer every phone call. Even so, they respond very quickly to text messages.

I did not have a washing machine for two months because of American Home Shield. The customer service was really, really poor. The contractor, The Appliance Guys, had to come out three or four times and give the same diagnosis because, on the customer service end of things, American Home Shield would tell me that they would put stuff down, but they didn't, and that they checked out the parts but they didn't. It was a two-month process but it should have been one-and-done.
Sitting on the phone with customer service and having customer service with American Home Shield tell me that certain things are being taken care of and noted, and then, going back into my computer and seeing that the case has been closed was disheartening. I spent a total of nine hours on the phone and several days calling American Home Shield over and over again and having customer service tell me one thing, but reality was another thing. So I had to really, really have some stick-to-it-iveness to even get this done and completed. But I love The Appliance Guys’ service. They were very, very good. They were very on point. Everything looks good so far.
I still haven't gotten the microwave replaced yet. American Home Shield wanna replace my Viking, high end, built-in microwave with the lowest end microwave, brand-wise, that had similar features. So my kitchen is gonna be all mixed up, and I’m not gonna have the same brand appliances or even matching appliances. The same thing that happened with my washer that they replaced. Instead of giving me the same LG, which is only five years old, they would not allow me to do that. They replaced it with a GE. Now I’ve got a mismatched set. So, I’m not happy about that because they say that they’ll replace it with the same thing, but it’s just a play on words. It’s not the same thing, and it’s not the same quality.

I didn’t agree with American Home Shield for the issue on my dryer. It went out one time and the people they sent out, Sears, came to my home for 4 different times. The man ordered another part every time he came, and when the next one came, he took them apart and ordered something else. The last part that they bought did not even fix the dryer. It took at least 2 and 3 weeks in between times, so I was without a dryer for at least 2 months. I then ended up going and purchasing another dryer. And when I explained this to them, they did not want to refund me for the dryer I had already purchased. Basically, they told me that I shoulda waited and never purchased a dryer. I told them, “So, you want to sit at home for three months without a dryer?” But in another claim, something with the furnace was leaking and Strong River Heating & Air came out. The guy was good and the furnace has been operating great since he did the service.

For the last service I had with AHS's contractor, American Heating & Service, the tech who came out had great character and a great attitude. That time, I was taking advantage of AHS's special to have a professional come out and look over my AC that hasn't had a problem in years. The tech came and couldn't find anything wrong with my AC but his opinion was since I had the original AC unit since the house was build in 1997, I should replace everything which would be $7000 or $8000. He also told me that they offer financial assistance.
With that, I would go from having a checkup to spending 7 or $8,000. I told the tech "No thank you". Unless I have a problem, I won't be using the checkup service anymore. I don’t know if the contractor was slow in business but I will not be taking advantage of that service again. That scared me to death. I would not go in if somebody just wanted something small repaired and try to leave with 500 times more than what a person is expecting to spend. My elderly mother lives here with us. She’s 75 and if I had been out of town and I’m having her handle that tech, I would’ve been devastated if she called me and said we need a whole new unit. Most people can't afford that.
It’s not American Home Shield’s fault. I've had AHS' service for years and years. I've had claims during which their guys have come out and taken care of my issues. They have always been forward and fair with me. There's another company in town advertising on TV and they have been offering the same kind of service as AHS. They guarantee that they will repair my home and they've been emailing me twice a week. I just started sending their emails to the trash box. I'm happy with American Home Shield and I've recommended them to others who have signed up 'cause of my recommendation.

I was pleased with the guy from Sears who came out for my kitchen stove. The oven would come on, but it would never heat up. So, the first time he came out, he didn’t have the part that he thought he needed. He came back the next week and he brought a valve. It still didn't work so he returned another time with either another valve or an igniter. But it still wasn’t working so I called and told him that.
He came back the fourth time and brought a regulator. It still wasn’t doing what it needed to do and he explained it to me. He had a gauge that he put on there and he said, “You're getting too much gas pressure into the home.” And I said, “Well, why doesn’t it affect my heating system?” He said, “That’s on the different wattage or something, different level of power.” I said, “Well, what do I need to do? Do I need to call a gas company? I've gotta have an oven.” And he said, “If you had lit a burner when you were baking, it would have taken care of that pressure.” Well, I didn’t know that.
I then called the gas company and they sent a guy out. I told him, “I'm going to the backyard,” and then he came around the front and said, “They put the wrong regulator on your meter.” So, that was the problem the whole time. It actually was not the stove. It was such a frustrating thing because it took 6 weeks. They had changed out my meter three months ago, and the guy that was in charge of that thing was gone, so he wasn’t sure who or what rookie or if that was a case of who had installed it.
At present, I have an oven and I'm happy. The Sears guy was really nice and he worked really hard each time he came. He was really frustrated because he couldn’t figure out why the parts weren’t working but he was just very polite and I have no complaints at all. It's wonderful. I'm also really pleased with American Home Shield. Having the warranty has saved me a lot of money.

We didn’t want the initial contractor that American Home gave us for the hot water problem we were having. The reviews on that company was so awful. So, we called in and asked for a different company. It was wonderful with All Hours Emergency Plumber. Their technician repaired it the same day. There were a couple of different things he had to repair in there including electrical. There was some wiring that was burned out. However, AHS needs to improve the wait time for the customer service. Usually, if I call them, it takes 40 minutes to get a representative on the phone.

We had an AC claim with American Home Shield and when they sent Action Appliance, it was a horrible experience. All Valley Appliance was the good one that came out and did fix the AC, and they’ve done a great job for us ever since. I’ve had a problem with Action Appliance before when I tried to hire them directly. They just came out. They missed their appointment. When they did come out, they tried to have me repair something I didn't need repaired. They didn't know what they were talking about. They delayed about a week, making me wait for a part that we didn't even need. And then, I stopped using them because the scheduling person and the one who answered the phone with me at the time was super-rude. And so, I didn't use them ever again.
Then, through my home service warranty, they sent out Action Appliance for a washer repair. And I assumed it was All Valley Appliance because I used them two times before that through my home warranty, and they were great. I didn't recognize the name changed. I thought it was the same. And when they booked the appointment, it was the rude girl again. I thought I'd give them a chance. Maybe they could redeem themselves. They ended up coming out, and the guy said, “Your washer’s in a difficult space. We really need to rearrange it and move it out so I can work on it. But let me figure it out. Maybe I can get to the error codes, and maybe I could see what’s wrong with it.”
He was here maybe for 10 minutes, and he said, “Okay, I got the problem. It’s the pump. The pump’s gone bad.” And that was covered under warranty, and we had to order the part. I got a large family. I got six kids. And we’ve been out a washing machine now for a week, and then, it’s going on two weeks. I keep calling, and I get this rude girl again, and she says, “Your part hasn’t been ordered yet. Your part order’s under review.” When I asked what she meant that it was under review, she said, “It was a pump. You guys ordered it, and he’d be back in a couple days to fix it.” It’s been two weeks. And she said she didn't have any other information and hung up the phone on me. I got livid. So I called the home warranty department and I complained. They said they could send them out for the same problem and they'd just give me a credit.
All Valley Appliance called me that day. It was a very polite and nice guy. So, he would visit that afternoon. They came and looked at my washing machine, didn't comment about where it was located and how difficult it was to get to it, and he came out 10 minutes later with a sock. He said our problem was we had a sock in the washing machine drain, and that was it. He got to it from the front of the washing machine. He said our problem was fixed. The washer’s draining fine now, there’s no more error codes, and they're all cleared out.
Action Appliance tried to screw me again on a part. I did it again with another guy that came out through our warranty that fixed our pool heater. They said the pool heater was shot and needed to get replaced. They gave me a quote for like 4,600 bucks, which my warranty wouldn’t pay for because they said it was rat damage. I was pretty bummed out. I got a second opinion from a local guy that my neighbors used. He came over, and for 135 bucks, he fixed my pool heater. So, I was never gonna use them again. That’s my problem with the warranty. I like AHS, and I’m glad I found All Valley Appliance that fixes stuff, but most of these other companies, all they care about was getting their service fee. They couldn't care less about fixing the part. Still, AHS rectified my problem pretty well. They're a great option to have.

Submitting claims to American Home Shield is straightforward. They got the message and I got an email back that somebody was gonna contact me and somebody did. For my plumbing issue, Waldorf Plumbing came out and they did a wonderful job. But they had to order the part and it took a while to get it in. I waited for almost a week.

American Home Shield's online portal is super easy to use and I totally appreciate that. I’ve used them a couple of times and every time it has been about three days for somebody to respond, but they have on their website that it’s 24 hours for someone to respond. They should update that to say 24 to 48 hours so instead of thinking, "I’m gonna get a call tomorrow,” people would have a different expectation. Under normal circumstances, it's not a huge deal when it’s a dishwasher, but if you've got a plumbing leak, that is a big deal. When my dishwasher wasn’t cleaning, the contractor AHS sent out was great. It would run through the cycle, but everything would still look like it did when I put it in there, but now the dishwasher is working great.

One of our main floor ACs that cools the master wasn't cooling. I called American Home Shield and spoke to an agent. It was one of the more helpful experiences that I've had with them. I've had some not so easy times discussing the problem and getting the help that we needed because we were sent out another company initially, and we just had problems with them. So, the day that I called to request Air of Texas, the rep was very helpful. She said they'd give us a call within 24 hours, and they did.
The first guy that came out was nice but he didn't fix the problem. He said there was nothing wrong and that it was cooling to an extent, but then it started heating up again, like outside, and our AC was not cooling properly. We had someone else come out from Air of Texas and look. He identified the problem quickly, there was a loose wire, and it has been functioning well since then. We live in Dallas, Texas and it's hot most of the time. Since the AC was fixed, we definitely were able to be in those rooms again, and it helps a lot.

Byrd's Plumbing Services was sent out for us but they didn't do a whole lot in terms of resolving my problem. They tried to troubleshoot it but they really couldn't figure out what was wrong with the unit in the end. At the time of them leaving, it was operational. It wasn't operational due to anything that they did because it kinda has a mind of its own of when it's working and when it's not working. But again, they went through a couple of motions, hoping that it may prevent it from recurring, yet they had no idea if they really resolved the problem. So, there's no fault on the company.
The issues haven't reoccurred, but we feel that since the contractor didn't really do anything, it's just a matter of time before it does. It could be the unit itself and, ultimately, even though it's a brand new unit, it could be a faulty one and maybe it has to be completely replaced. So, we're just gonna have to wait it over certain amount of time before that happens. Other than that, we've had no issues with other claims.

When getting a contract please review the fine print. I had an issue with my brand new American Standard HVAC system in May 2019. In May I contacted American Home Shield in reference to a concern I had about my unit a week later someone came to check the unit and stated that is is an issue with the compressor and they must have AHS order the part which was still under warranty because I purchased the unit in 2017. Two week later the part arrived and I was told I need to pay $575 for Freon once the part is changed because AHS only cover a portion and we are responsible for the rest.
We did what we needed to by paying the money and now lets fast forward to October 2019. We turn the heat on and our unit is coming on however it is cutting on and off. We called AHS. They sent a tech out from another company and he stated that a part called TXV that is part of the brand new compressor that was put on must be changed. Mind you it's under warranty because the unit was purchased in 2017 brand new. However the catch is now I must pay this tech $675 for more Freon because once he change the TXV the Freon is no good. However AHS is telling me my Freon ran out from MAY-OCTOBER.
Can someone please tell me that I am not being ripped off? We are talking about in five months I will be out of $1900 between service fees and what I'm being asked to pay for FREON. And this is with having a warranty from AHS. I was given an email address to express my concern since May and have yet to receive a response. We have them for three different properties and trust me when I tell you we will be canceling. Respectfully, Ms. **.

I had a claim with American Home Shield on my microwave, and my experience was horrible. Swift Appliance Repair was great. But the previous company that they had, Premier Appliance Services, was horrible. They had two appointments they did not show up for. It took me like a month to get one item done. The first time I called to make a request for repair, the guy came and fixed it, and within five minutes, it was not working. He literally was leaving my house when the item went back to the same problem. So, I called American Home Shield and the people came back, and he said that it was something above their ability to repair. In the meantime, it was twice, they didn't show up, so then AHS assigned it to a second company, and that was the company that did fix it. What they told me was that the first contractor had brought a defective part.
I had two companies come out throughout a month, which is totally ridiculous and insane. Your need your microwave every single day. The process was not that difficult. Premier's information was incorrect, and there were two no-shows because they sent me a text that somebody would be here on Thursday. I've been waiting for three hours, and no one showed up. There was no call, text, or email. Then again, somebody was supposed to come in on Saturday, and there was no call, show, or email. It was a horrible service. American Home Shield's contracting people do not do a good job. And they have to step up their game and confirm that the people are coming because they're who I'm paying. I'm not paying the different contractors, I'm paying American Home Shield. So they, for me, on my first experience, was a total zero.

Before American Home Shield sent out Sears, who is absolutely the best on the block, AHS tried to send the first person out. And it was a constant miscommunication. They said that they were coming out but they didn’t show. Then they said that they tried to get ahold of me yet there were no text messages nor voicemails. And whenever I called them up, it was like they didn’t have time. I should not have had to go through the iterations as many times as I did.
Long story short, I called back American Home Shield and told them, “Listen. We just got off to a bad start. It’s not gonna get any better. I need to get somebody else.” I was trying to get Sears because I've had experience with them through American Home Shield and they did exactly what they were supposed to do. But before I even got a chance, I paid the $100, and then the girl said that they got some other folks. I said that it didn't make any sense and that it has only been 10 minutes. They didn’t give me a chance to finish the conversation.
So, what I tried to do when they gave me a name of somebody that they were proposing to send out, I looked on our homeowners' network and find out that the company in question has had quite a history of doing not so good things for repair and services. Same when you look at the website of the company itself. Obviously, I don’t wanna be going through the same thing that the neighbors have gone through, especially when they specifically wrote about the company, told all the things that they have experienced and how they paid the $100 for nothing. There was one of them that was writing things up that were untrue and the next thing you know, they still have a broken appliance and $100 out.
Florida has an especially large problem with contractors than it has been in practically any other state we’ve been in. We’re a military family and they’ve been giving us a run for our money. I know my husband has gone down to ConsumerAffairs and to whoever the next level up with legal is, and it’s pretty pathetic, because there isn’t a lot that’s gonna protect you. And it’s even worse for so many of the seniors down here. We run into situations where the seniors would put $50,000 of their entire life savings on a roof and the contractor walked.
So, I cancelled the first, and spoke for the third time with the managers of American Home Shield and they assured me that wouldn’t happen again. They made the effort to try to straighten things out so there is more good than there is bad. I've actually told the managers before and gave compliments to some of the people who did what I think was above and beyond consumer satisfaction, and then when I've had one of them who was just a nightmare to deal with, I’ve called the managers up, explained the situation and got the commitment. It didn't always work but it was enough that I still have the to deal with them. If I had the managers ignoring me when I elevated the issue, then we’d be having a different conversation. If they immediately say, “No, this is the next person. You’re stuck with it. You’re gonna get it. We’ve got your $100,” then that’s when I'm rolling up my sleeve. And I don’t have any issue that if it gets worse.
But in the end, we finally got things resolved. Getting there was a bumpy road and a little bit uncomfortable, but it is what it is. It’s just part of the give-and-take of any business. The problem is always gonna be when there’s a breakdown in communication, and that’s the language barrier. It’s something that’s doable ‘cause if you have somebody that I couldn't understand or I don't think would listen, I'd cancel the warranty, call back and talk to somebody who'd listen to what I have to say. If American Home Shield was to send me somebody out that’s competent and we didn’t have issues, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Do I expect everything’s gonna be smooth sailing from here on? No. But I don’t have any problem renewing my policy with AHS or recommending them. I can't compare them to anybody else. In the end, I am very thankful that AHS worked with me, got the Sears technician out who fixed my refrigerator before, and did a class act. The tech had to come out twice, but I wasn't charged more for that. The same thing happened with the dryer. They have got professionals second to none.

Last month, I called AHS because something was wrong with the air conditioner. It wasn’t pushing out any air. I couldn’t turn it on, there was nothing on the thermostat. It wasn’t doing anything. The contractors looked and saw that there was an issue last month, and then it hasn’t even been a month. And so, AHS said that they would send somebody else out, and so they did.
This time around, submitting the claim had been really easy. The last time that I called, I had to wait through the weekend. It was Thursday evening when I called and they couldn’t get anyone in there on Friday. So, I had to wait through the weekend. That was a bit miserable, but I just waited it out. But, with this time, they were right on it. I showed my concern with that and she said, “Well, no Ma’am.” She said, “If they don’t respond to you within 48 hours, then give us a callback and we’ll try and get somebody else there." And that made me feel good, but the contractors called right away. I’ve also had to call AHS on a couple of different occasions and I can’t complain. It was a good experience.

We had a problem with the dishwasher. It was not fitting into the cabinet correctly. We had Bay To Bay Appliance Repair come out to see if they could correct the problem. We had no problem submitting the claim with AHS, but the contractor didn't do anything. We had an electrician that was here working on some electrical issues for us and he was the one that fixed it for us. I didn't know there was a remedy until the electrician pushed in and told me what we had to do to get it to work. All he did was just push it and adjust it and it went right in.
The people that AHS sends should know how to fix things. That's our whole reasoning for having American Shield. My son and I don't know how to fix things around the house, so we're basically gonna have to be having others do it for us. So when we had someone come out that we needed to pay and they didn't fix it and basically said it was not a top problem, that they couldn't fix, then it was kind of just a wasted service call. I don't necessarily blame it on American Shield. They did everything they were supposed to do. I will blame it more on the vendor.

They said they finally were gonna credit me the $100 that I paid, but I’m not even sure if they did or not. But this time, the contractor got everything working.

Sometimes you gotta fight AHS a little bit to get what you want but typically, they satisfy me as far as delivering on the warranty. A couple of times, they’ve sent some people I wouldn’t let into my home, but I usually tell them about that and they either send somebody else out or kinda work around that problem.

We talked to several other companies, and American Home Shield was more detailed. We kinda gave different scenarios. We live on a bayou, and we were really affected during hurricane Harvey. This particular area that we moved to was the hardest hit in Houston. Our house is elevated so we didn’t have any water damage, but if anything had happened we wanted to see what exactly would have been covered. They went through everything with us, and told us everything would be covered. I asked a billion and one question. The girl I dealt with was extremely sweet and answered every single question. There was one question she didn’t know the answer to. She put me on hold and got back to me with it. They answered everything. I was probably on the phone with them for an hour and a half.
I submitted a claim over the phone, and the process was quick and easy. It was probably the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do as a homemaker. I spoke to somebody because it was the first time I’ve ever had to use it. And the rep goes, “Ma’am, it’s gonna be real simple. You just tell me what’s going on.” So, I told her my kid dropped a pan on the stovetop, and three out of five burners quit working, and there was a crack in the stovetop. She said I was gonna get a phone call in a few minutes. And sure enough, I hung up with her and within five minutes, my phone rang. Somebody was at my house the very next day.
The contractor was very sweet. He looked at the elements and said they needed to be changed. He said we couldn't just change the elements. The whole thing had to be changed out because of the crack. I said okay and he said, “But this is an older model and you have the vent in the center of it, so it might take me a minute to find this particular stovetop.” He asked if I was fine with that. Somebody from their office called me the next day and she said it was gonna take about four days before they could get that in. She also asked if I was fine with that. Sure enough, On Monday the next week, it came in and the contractor came out.
He was running a little bit behind. He called me first thing that morning. He said, “Ms. **, I’m sorry. We were supposed to be there by 10:00, but it’s looking like it’s gonna be closer to be about 1:00.” I told him that was okay. They got here, he finished it up, and he apologized profusely. He was so kind when he was here. Their communication was awesome - the text messages, the emails, the phone calls. As soon as the contractor left, I immediately got on my mom’s group and recommended American Home Shield.

The refrigerator wasn’t holding the temperature, and American Home Shield sent a guy out from Coopers Appliances. He found out that the thermostat that controls the temperature and whether it goes into defrost mode belonged to General Electric, and this was a Kenmore refrigerator. The only problem I had was that they took forever to get the part and get it repaired. Everything was fine with the claim, except the length of time they took. It took a while for the contractor to come out, and then once they diagnosed it, it took a while to get the part. You’d think with a refrigerator claim, American Home Shield would consider it as an emergency and expedite it. Also, the policy for the first year was $350 a year, and then when we renewed it, it was $500. That’s a 30% increase. But I looked into other companies and they were a lot worse.

I had a leak. I wasn’t sure though if it was in the shower or the pipe. I thought it was a piping issue, but it turned out to be a tile issue. I've had two people come out who just did cursory work. Then I had somebody come in to look at the shower and said, “Oh no, it’s not a tile issue.” So I went back and forth between several contractors. Either the tile and grout person, or a piping person, or a plumber. The last guy from Service Giant that AHS sent was phenomenal. He really took the time to help me to eliminate plumbing as an issue. I got the tile person to come back and to seal the specific areas that the plumber identified. So I was very, very pleased with him.
I've also had previous experience that was really, really bad, bad enough to make me wanna change providers. I had early in the year, around June, placed a claim for a HVAC. It turned out my unit needed some parts. So the contractor came out, identified what the issue was, let AHS know what it was, and then went about trying to identify the part. He identified the part. AHS found the part and gave it to the guy. It was June or July then so we went through several days of excruciating heat. And I have a son, not a baby, but he’s not a teenager either. So it was very uncomfortable for him.
I had multiple calls to American Home Shield about this vendor expressing that this vendor was unresponsive. I escalated the claim and finally, I just told my brother to help me with my problem. I wanted to switch provider then, because they were unresponsive. Months and months went by and American Home Shield, no matter how much I pleaded with them, just was very inflexible about whether or not they would allow another vendor to come through. And then they said, “Well, if we allow another vendor, then we’re only gonna pay you X amount of money. So it was a horrible experience. And I am not a complainer.
I went online and explained it to the person who was communicating with me on Facebook. And at every turn, they were like, “Sorry, there’s nothing we could do. You’re gonna have to still deal with this vendor.” They’ve reached out to the vendor several times but the vendor was unresponsive. I told them that I’ve got a very reputable HVAC company who comes to our neighborhood a lot, but they just refused to allow me to even use this person. It was really bad. Eventually, the provider came and installed the part. But it left a very bad taste in my mouth, to the point that I went out and investigated another company. And for the same, or maybe a little bit more, they will allow me to put my own providers because the group of providers that was being offered didn’t seem to be very good. Still, I have not ruled out switching providers because of that really terrible experience.

I did an online claim with American Home Shield for an electrical breaker that kept tripping. Using their website was super easy. And I’d almost just prefer to plug in the information as I know it to be and not rely on a third party to sort of take it down. Two electricians showed up, which was nice because they were able to bounce things off one another. They worked for the same company and they both came together.
I also had a claim for the AC. When the tech was here, he walked outside, looked at something, and replaced the part and did a test on it to ensure that it would work. He came inside, turned on the AC, set it, and waited until it started to cool down to make sure it was gonna cool down. And he was great, too. And then, the AC company sent me a report to let me know what it is that they did and all the warranty paperwork associated with it. I have used home warranty companies previously in my former homes, and this isn’t the first time I've ever used Home Shield. They came recommended from a friend, and I am delighted with the service.

But it was only the ones with the ceramics and not stainless steel. Mine is stainless steel. I called American Home Shield and set up another appointment. The tech came back and fixed everything he thought he couldn't fix because it was under warranty. He just didn't know there were two separate types of dishwasher. He put in a new heating element and a new control panel and it works fine now. The service was great. He came in and repaired it so fast, it didn't disrupt anything. Having a home warranty is very valuable. Over the course of 12 or 13 years that I've been with AHS, we've had a few things that went out such as water heater, air conditioning and a whole bunch of different things. And so far, I've been very satisfied with AHS. It's a good company.

I'm at 9 months with Home Shield in my location, but I've had them multiple times. They were very responsive when I filed a claim for my dishwasher that wasn't working and Sharper Service Solutions was sent out. The tech diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, came back and replaced the parts. Unfortunately, we had other issues as well, so it wasn’t fully diagnosed in the beginning. And I’m waiting on the final service on Thursday.
One thing that I would have liked to see done differently is for a total assessment and evaluation of the issues with the appliance done, and then determine whether to replace or repair. The tech has come out for the fourth time to repair our dishwasher, he has replaced three different parts, and in replacing those different parts, it would’ve been easier to just have replaced the appliance itself. He didn’t stay and let the whole cycle run, which means he didn’t care about the motor going out or not working. He didn’t evaluate the heating coil inside as well. So, maybe make it a one stop, whether that be replacing the unit itself or repairing everything at once. Still, the tech who came out has been fantastic and very pleasant.

We recently had an annual checkup of the furnace where AHS sent out a tech from Piedmont Mechanical Contractors. Initially, I started off making this claim online and for some reason, it was not filed and I ended up talking to somebody on the phone. But the tech who came out was excellent. I had the same guy about six months ago who checked out the air conditioning system. I liked him then and I like him this time, too. He was thorough, professional, and on-time. He also recommended a few things I could do to keep the system healthy. I just moved into this condo about February. Everything's 17 years old and I'm expecting them all to break down, but he gave me advice on how to keep them alive.
Other than that, I've had the warranty since February and so far, I've had three things done. The first thing was they sent somebody out to put new locks on the doors and that went fine. The tech was very professional and on-time. And I was happy with that. Then I had a claim for the air conditioner and now the furnace. And all those three things were done well.

I usually submit claims online to American Home Shield but for the plumbing, I had to talk to somebody so they could try to find me somebody that could come out sooner. They told me no one could come out until Thursday and that was too long from Sunday for my plumbing to be backed up in both bathrooms. The AHS reps did okay on the phone but the first two people told me they were gonna call me back and didn’t. So, I had to still call back on Monday. The guy from Drain Go was okay but he said that they couldn’t do my plumbing the way that it was set up. My return switch is under the house and AHS wouldn’t cover it if they would have to go under the house. I had to pay them the $75 and they were not able to rectify the problem. So, I have to call another plumbing company.
I’ve been with AHS for 10 years and I was disgusted with the plumbing issue but the other claims have been okay. A couple of weeks ago, the garage door wouldn’t go up and when it did go up, it looked like it was about to fall off the hinge. The guy from Magic City Door did a good job and it has been working fine since the repair.

The rep I spoke with was fine, however, I wasn’t aware and I was surprised that there was a $75 fee every time I talked to them. That could be my fault ‘cause we just moved and things were hectic. I was given something about the policy, but I didn't have time to go over it. So, to do a better job, there should be an email or something that says, “Here’s the basics.” That would have been very helpful. Another thing was on the impression that there was a free change-the-lock service in the beginning. Maybe it was free, but I had to pay the $75. No matter what I do, I pay the $75 and that, to me, is not free. But again, it was worth $75 and it wasn’t an issue. I told my wife, “I don't think I’ll ever call them again. I’ll just call a service company, especially if I don't think it’s a big deal.” Still, just clearer communication would be helpful.
I had a dryer issue and I happened to mention I thought it might be the vents. I was told, “Sir, we don’t cover vent issues.” And I didn't know that. So, it was a vent issue and I had to pay twice. That was okay because I didn't know the rules. So, I was satisfied. Also, the contractors that have been out were good, came when they said, and did the work.

I've been with American Home Shield for almost 10 years and every time I’ve used their service, they’ve been responsive.

But the company never contacted me so I called AHS back and said that nobody contacted me. They apologized and said that they'd set up again. Then I got a call from Richard who got me on a schedule immediately. He was super nice and professional. He assessed the issue and said that he had to come back with the replacement.

It's tough to get through to anybody at AHS. Still, when I get through to their reps, they have been good. However, some are better than others. Some say they'll do things which they do and others don't follow through the way they should. Also, I've had problems when I've had to call over and over again. Those times, AHS had given me credits to not quit on them but then using those credits was next to impossible. I would call and the reps would tell me everything was fine but then I wouldn't get to use my credits. I kept getting billed. I've used up the credits now but still, that was a big concern. So, I prefer to do things online.
Recently, I submitted a claim to AHS and they sent Hy-Tech Electric Inc to do service. Their tech came out quickly. The issue was an easy fix for him and it didn't take him long.

I went online and said I have a trouble with the water heater. We had seen a lot of yellow in the water so something was probably wrong with either the water heater or the pipes. Navigating through the site went pretty smooth. But I wish in this case for the water heater there was a little tab that said corroding. But I think that’s only for old water heaters. Chris, from Power Plus, checked it out and said it was kinda cracked. It was also corroding. There was a little leak, and it was leaking rust so he said, “Okay, we should probably change it.” Chris was great. Overall, it’s been great. Our house isn’t exactly that old, so I wasn’t expecting to have to do any kind of claims at all.

We had our microwave not working and our experience with Home Shield was a nightmare. We put in the call for the microwave, stovetop, and the backdraft. After almost a month, I called because I didn't hear back from them. Some guys came, inspected it, did the diagnostic, and then ordered for the part. After a few weeks, I didn't hear back from them. I called Home Shield. They said that parts have been put in order, but somehow, they sent it to the wrong address and not the company that ordered it. I had to wait another two weeks. The guys had misdiagnosed it and was having me sign to replace the entire backdraft when in fact it was just a little piece that probably cost $20 to replace. And I found that out when I had another guy come look at another appliance. I was on the phone with Home Shield for hours. They would tell me one thing, and I'd find out a week later there was something different submitted.
I was not happy with the service at all. Some of Home Shield's reps were knowledgeable but some were not. A lot of them told me one thing and then it turned out that they had input something different in the system, and then I found that out when I had to call and say, "What's going on? No one's here. It hasn't been fixed." And it took weeks, many calls, and hours on hold because getting through them was a disaster. It would be 45 minutes or an hour on hold while they figure out what they needed to do, and then they didn't even do what they were supposed to do.
As far as the contractors, the first one was unreliable and dishonest. I found out that based on our interactions, they were misdiagnosing things. I didn't want them to come to our house. I didn't wanna deal with them. And then the GE specialist came. He was amazing. He knew exactly what to do, diagnosed it, ordered a part, and fixed it within a week's timeframe. With Home Shield, I've never had such a horrible experience. And I was working into changing the insurance company because of the lack of satisfaction with them. We didn't have a microwave for a month and a half, then the backdraft wasn't fixed for a month until we got the GE specialist come out.

There was a leak on the bottom of the dishwasher and the ice maker wasn't making any ice anymore. I filed claims for both with Home Shield online and it was pretty straightforward. We had two different technicians from Stars Service. One didn't seem to know what he was doing, while the other one was really helpful and tried everything to fix the problem. It was a 50-50.
The repairs took a while. We had at least three or four visits. In one or two of those, the guy came to tell the same thing that he told us during the previous visits. He wasn't prepared to fix the problem during the second or third visit, and he didn't realize that until he got to the house. He didn't have the part. That was why we scheduled that second or third visit for. But then the second technician that ended up coming to the house was better. Other than that, I like having access to technicians - being able to just call a number or go online and set up an appointment and not having to come up with $400, $500, or $600 to get something fixed every time.

American Home Shield always has a recording which asks if something is broken and they give you the person who's gonna come, and either they call me or I call, which I usually do because if I got a problem, I want it to get here ASAP. It’s never the same day. Also, I like talking to a person. Sometimes, I speak with someone but if it’s the same thing every time I call and I talk to somebody different each time, I get frustrated and I just say okay.
The switch on the wall wasn’t working and the contractor, City First Electric came out. Most of the contractors who came were good but I didn’t care for the one who came yesterday for the garage. It seemed like they were in a hurry. The technician said something was loose and I assumed he tightened it. When he was there, I opened and closed the garage door and did it again, and it worked. But when my granddaughter came home, she said she couldn’t get it up. So, I said that the technician fixed it and I went out there. The garage door would go a little bit, and then it would fall down like a brick. The technician came back today and the garage door is now working.
When things go wrong, the warranty cost me less for the contractor to come than if I had to get a person on my own. An electrician would’ve probably cost more than my fee of 75, which makes it most valuable. But the only thing I don’t like about AHS is that every year, they go up on my contract. When I started out with them, I was only paying $45 for my fee, and my yearly thing was 400. So, my monthly that I pay them goes up each year too.

I had a claim for the outside fan on the AC unit and that was repaired expeditiously. The Intrastate Energy Controls replaced the motor on the fan and they did an excellent job. In fact, they found the other problem which was a separate item, which I had to call in again. A different company came out and repaired a leak by the plenum box with the ductwork and they seemed to do a good job. The issue was the contractor before that caused the ductwork leak. They didn’t do it properly.
I’ve submitted claims both online and through phone, and for me, it’s easier to use the automated voicemail than to get on the computer and do it. So, a lot of times, I just do it through the automated voicemail. The reps I've talked to were helpful. It’s a little frustrating though because you have to put in a lot of information to get to them, and then they tend to ask you the same information again. They confirm your address, phone number and contract when they already knew who I am because I’m in the system. So, the process is a little bothersome. But generally, it gets done. It gets in the queue and I get called back quickly.
The last two contractors have been good. But there was a period where it was extremely rocky, where the AC contractors were not very good. I’ve got a stack of papers, a quarter-inch thick on the AC stuff. And a lot of times, I had to call back to try to fix a problem that wasn’t fixed properly the first time. But it has been better in the last year. They change contractors occasionally and it seems like the problem. They’ve improved.

There was a blockage in the ejector pump that we have, moving water from our basement to the main line. I noticed it when the alarm went off. Home Shield sent out Drain Masters and they were very friendly. They were able to find the problem right away, and they knew exactly what it was. They were able to get it fixed before the level got high enough to get water in the house. They got it quickly and they were on their way. They cleaned it quite a bit. We haven’t had any problems since.
On the other hand, we had two issues with our HVAC system and Home Shield said neither of those would be covered. I paid the $89 deductible on both of those issues, and then I paid 89 on the ejector pump. So in the grand scheme of things, if I were to have to pay for the deductible each time and the cost of the warranty, we wouldn’t be that far ahead. And now, if Home Shield covered those, then that might be something. We would probably just pay out-of-pocket if and when the need arises for it. If it were something that I was gonna get into myself, I’d probably read through the contract. Since it was just given to us, I didn’t know that. Knowing upfront before Home Shield sends someone out if the problem was covered or not would be good. I’m gonna save myself that $90 each time if it wasn’t a covered issue.

The Carolina Air Heating & Cooling tech did a really good job. He was on time and got to the bottom of things, and it was real worth having them to come out. So far, we’ve had three claims with AHS. Two of them were preventive wherein we had pre-season checks and the other was an actual repair. With the repair, the contractor didn’t get to us as quickly as we thought. We certainly would have liked it if they had gotten there quicker than they did. We were down about 48 hours and it was in the middle of the heat wave when it was getting to be a 100 every day. So, it was bad for those couple of days.
If you’re down, you’re down. And with the air conditioning and heat, that matters. With some things such as dishwasher, you can wash the dishes by hand. There are things that you can do with most stuff. But when it comes to heating and air, getting somebody there on a timely basis when you’re completely down would be appreciated. The contractor's timeliness on that one was not fabulous, but they did a great job when they got there and it has worked ever since.

A-US Air Conditioning of Texas came out recently for a preseason checkup, and the process was very quick and easy. I just told them that I needed to see if there are any issues with the AC, and they scheduled a person to come out. The tech was very professional and timely. He checked everything and let us know of any additional issues outside the heating unit, and what they recommended was very helpful.
I submitted two claims at American Home Shield the same day, another one for the GE dishwasher. That was not so good, but we ended up figuring it out. Before the techs came out, I decided to check myself to see if something was clogged that was causing the dishwasher to not drain. Before the guy even started to look at it, he said, “Doing that voids the warranty." It wasn't like I took a bunch of parts off of it. I just had to take the actual filter grate off, which I just screwed right back in without any issues. The guy was almost hesitant on even trying to look at it further because he said that that would have been voided.
One of the guys that was with the main technician started looking underneath the sink, and he saw that it was a new garbage disposal that I had put in. They said that if I didn’t remove the cap that was within there for the dishwasher, then that was why it wasn’t draining. So, after they left, I was able to unplug the dishwasher and then find that cap to remove. Since then, it’s been fixed. It was just a little annoying with the guy that said he didn’t even wanna bother looking at it ‘cause the warranty’s voided.

American Home Shield sent me an email and said, "Fall is coming. You got to check your heater. It's worth it." I just bought the home so I replied and said to come check it out. They replied to me within a couple of hours and set an appointment. The guy came out two days later. He inspected the heater and said everything was fine. I'd tell others who ask that I'd get AHS. Being that the house is new to me, having it is very valuable. And if I find an issue, I would call them.

I had problems with my dishwasher and fridge, and American Home Shield sent a very professional appliance expert to fix both. When I called to file the claim, I tried to explain the whole situation to the representative, and during the time I talked to her, she wasn’t trying to figure out what was the problem. She just tried to somehow click on something on her computer that was more close to what I was trying to achieve. But there is no option that tailor to my problem. So, she got frustrated and she hung up on me. I had to call a second time and talk to another representative.
The second representative explained to me that they don’t have an option that’s close to my situation, and that what they can do is they can send the expert to fix my fridge and the dishwasher. And if they need a claim and need to approve to get the parts, the expert will do all the job. I told them I don’t wanna wait and I wanna solve the problem as quickly as possible. I compromised with their option and just went with it, and the end result is pretty good. The professional person that they hired to fix my stuff was very, very good. He fixed my problem, no question asked, and did whatever the parts replaced needed. He didn’t give me a hard time. He didn’t let me wait another one, two or three days. He got it done. So, I’m very happy with it. It was excellent.
American Home Shield has done a outstandingly great job to help me. I’m moving to my new home and there are a lot of moving issue, like the fridge and the dishwasher didn’t work. But at the end, they really tried their best to send me the profession person to help me out and fix the problem. And even though every single time, I have to pay the $89 fee, the speed that they can schedule me for some expert to come is very impressive. One way that American Home Shield can improve is if they could send the expert over and they could analyze the problem, and then charge the $89. Because for the end user like us, we don’t know if we paid the $89 and that professional person will be able to fix everything. I was a little concerned where that $89 goes to if they cannot fix my stuff. But every single time I deal with American Home Shield, I get a pretty good quality people to come to fix my stuff. So, it’s good.

American Home Shield is awesome. They really did a great job for us. I like submitting claims on the phone because I don’t have to type.

I don't like not being able to have the techs that I want to come out with AHS. If I've had a tech that I used before and I really like them, I should be able to use their service because I have a relationship with those people. But then, using my home warranty wouldn't allow me to do that. Also, if I have two units, if we were to have both serviced, it would be two service calls. I don't like that. Our house is pretty new and we've used things a couple of times. One time, I had the bulb go out in my microwave. I can't change it on my own and I have to have a tech do it. The bulb wasn't under warranty so I had to pay for it.
More recently, United Air Temp Heating & Air Conditioning came out for AHS to service our claim for our AC unit. The tech was really kind and answered questions that I had. He went around and he looked at everything for me to make sure the unit was cleaned out and what all needed to be done. He replaced whatever part needed to be replaced and just did his job.

When I renewed the warranty for the year with American Home Shield, they said they offered the routine maintenance on the air conditioner. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have thought of it. The process was very seamless and I'm impressed with them. AHS is a good company. It's very transparent. Their website is very easy to use and it's really clear. It defaults to a vendor but then you can click a dropdown menu and choose another vendor if you want. I've only had the contractors come out twice and whoever was assigned, the vendor who came was very professional, had the marked truck or vehicle and wore the shirt with the emblem or logo on it, which seemed very professional.

I spoke with a very nice and professional representative at American Home Shield when I submitted a claim for our furnace. We got a resolution within 48 hours, but 24 hours would’ve been better. The contractor was nice. They gave me a call ahead of time to let me know they were on the way, which was nice, too. That way, I could arrange things with my job. The technician was on time, seemed to be knowledgeable, and he was able to fix the issue in a relatively quick amount of time. Ever since he came by and fixed what he needed to, everything has been fine.

The leak has been fixed, then without me knowing, American Home Shield contacted some other company to close the ceiling. They had to do a hole but they called, and they did something. They already closed the ceiling. I'm very glad.

The digital board on my washing machine wasn't working and the machine itself wasn't doing anything. Making arrangements for my claim with AHS was easy. GE Appliances came to my place in a couple of days. Since my issue was with a GE product, I asked for GE and AHS sent me a GE contractor. So far, their contractors have been great. They had one work on my microwave and my dishwasher too.

The washing machine was leaking inside and the leak started coming out of the bottom. It stopped working completely and then, the dryer was making a noise. I contacted American Home Shield and they got somebody scheduled to get out here. The guy who worked on it was good and it turned out they had to replace some kind of hose inside. He was very professional. When he got ready to go, he told me to give him a call if I had any more problems with it and that I could call him directly.
After he left, when it was washing, it was kind of out of balance and so, I called. He said he would get right back over here and balance it, but my grandson happened to show up and he did it. So, I called the guy back and told him he didn’t have to come. I told him my grandson just had to adjust the stand on the bottom but he said he would come right out and get it fixed. AHS has been great. I just had a plumbing issue that came up over the weekend, and they scheduled somebody to come out first thing Monday morning. I had to call them twice and both times, they responded very quickly to the issues. So, I would recommend AHS to anybody.

My only gripe with any of these companies is that they all do the same thing. They send somebody, they have to look around, and then they have to leave, and then they come back in a week. I had a dishwasher problem where they came back, they had the wrong part. That went on to the point, but I lucked out and they gave me another dishwasher. But it's like I pay for it with my patience and time.
I had a broken belt on a dryer, called the guy, I said it's a broken belt on a dryer. I'm in the 70's and I know what a broken belt on the dryer does. But they can't do anything. They have to come out, look at it and say that it's a broken belt on a dryer, and I told them that already. If they could've brought a couple of belts with them, it would've been a done deal. It took basically a month. And then when the contractor put the belt in, it broke again. When I called up and said that there was smoke, they said, "Really?" I wasn't that dumb. It made a noise, broke, and smoke. They put the belt on backwards. It's the reason I got rid of the other warranty company I had.
American Home Shield is what I have now. I like that I can submit claims online as it's easier. I can put it in myself and I don't have to worry about being on hold. The air conditioning claim with them was so wonderful. The guy who came out from Union Express was fabulous, direct, to the point, professional, and courteous. He was right on the mark, told us that the unit was good, fixed the problem, left no mess. It was in-out and pleasant.

We needed it to be fixed, so that's how we dealt with them. We've sorted it out with them and they have completed my claim. We ended up just eating the cost ourselves.

We bought a used house that has a lot of furnaces, air conditioners, and other things. I thought to give American Home Shield a shot and see if it'll protect us from having any financial hardships. The only thing I don't like is that I need to look back and make sure I know everything that's covered. They should send a reminder email saying what's covered. That's where people get into the most trouble with these companies. They think the company has something covered, it breaks, the company doesn't cover it, and they get mad at the company. AHS can help themselves just by being over communicative on what customers are covered for.
I called my first claim in, but I've done it online since then. I like how easy it is and how text automated it is. You know when people are coming out and you know when the claim is in. It takes two seconds to submit the claim and the people call right after they get the thing. And in terms of the contractors coming out, they've all been on it.

There are long wait times to get to somebody when we call, sometimes for an hour. But once we get past the phone call wait time and eventually talk to somebody, it pays off to just stay patient. We had issues with our oven-microwave combo and a cooktop where the burners on the cooktop kept sparking when we tried to light them. It would not stop even after the flame was ignited. Also, the microwave went out. After my wife submitted the claim online, we got someone in less than a week. The All Brands Appliance technicians were great and the last one that installed the cooktop was awesome. He had to come back the next day after since he had to get some extra parts to install the downdraft on the cooktop. The claim has been completed and everything is great and working 100%.
