    My central vac system was not working. I called American Home Shield and it was just one trip. There were no issues whatsoever. The technician was polite and on time. He was from Electric Plus and they were good folks. I was very satisfied.

    I had an inspection made through American Home Shield for the winter. They sent me an email by asking whether or not I was interested in a winter check of our furnace. And when I said I did, they made the arrangements. JE Johnson came out, they inspected my furnace, and they found a dangerous issue. It was a cracked heat exchanger, which is very dangerous. They reported it to American Home Shield. The furnace was 27 years old, and they replaced it. I tell other people that American Home Shield is a service they ought to have. It makes no sense not to.

    My washing machine kept saying overload and the technician AHS sent said was that the drum had to be reset. It wasn't functioning right, so he had to take it apart and rebalance it. He was very good. I used AHS over time and they seem to be taking care of everything.

    The warranty has been a nice asset for us as senior citizens, that we can just go in and make a phone call to the warranty company. They’re Johnny-on-the-spot as well. They get back with you and they are very professional, easy to talk to and quick in what they do. They explained everything very well to us too. We had a very minor item and Everyday Heating and Cooling straightened it out for us right away. It was raining and they thought that we had an outside issue but I said no, it was inside. So they called one of their technicians who just happened to be in the neighborhood. He was eating lunch and he said he would be right here. So he was here and Johnny-on-the-spot. It took him about 15 minutes to clear the problem and said that if we have any more problems, to please call them. It’s working like it should now.

    The machine itself of our garage door was broken. American Home Shield assigned to us the vendor Garage Harmony and their guy was here in about three days which was pretty quick. He did a great job and fixed the garage door. He said that there was a maintenance for the parts, like the spring, that you’re supposed to do every six months. He said he would show me how to do this and would give me a can of spray. I thought that was really cool. Everything seems good so far.

    I submitted my first claim with American Home Shield and it was pretty easy. I was just very unhappy with the way they communicated how long it would take someone to come out. My upstairs AC unit was not cooling and they told me 24 to 48 hours for someone to come out. I asked them to connect me to the person that would be fixing it, that I might spur it up a little bit, but they wouldn't. My family was gonna be in a hot house for 24 to 48 hours, and AHS would not give me the information I needed to help my situation go along a little faster. But Massanelli Heating and AC, their contractor, contacted me as soon as they got the message, and everything went smoothly after that. They came out the next morning and assessed the situation, then they came back later that afternoon. They did what they had to do, and the AC has been working ever since.

    I was just a little surprised that I had to pay the deductible, $110. The issue was a small leak in the line and they put something in the line to stop the leak then put additional Freon in. I had to make an out-of-pocket payment on the Freon, since AHS only pay $10 and I had to pay the remainder, and I ended up spending a little over $200. The co-payment was not made clear to me during my sign-up period. I wasn’t unhappy with that, but that makes me think what additional payments do I have to make if I get into another situation, like what if the unit had gone out? That kinda stung a little bit, knowing how it worked out.

    American Home Shield has been there for a few different things before, and they've always been there on a timely manner. But I can never get a hold of anybody on the phone. A long time ago, when the techs first worked on the refrigerator, they did something to the back panel part 'cause it was making a humming sound, and something went out in the refrigerator itself part. They told me to keep it unplugged for 48 hours, so I did that. All of a sudden, when I plugged it back in, it seemed we got a funny odor. I tried to get a hold of American Home Shield because the guy said, "If there are any issues after you start it back up, call us direct and we'll help you." When I called them direct, he said, "You'll have to go through Home Shield again." I tried to call 'cause I didn't wanna pay $100 again for them to come back out, and I ended up just doing that and I could never get a hold of anybody.

    That time American Home Shield sent out Sears, who came out and worked on a few things. Then on my own I paid to have it serviced and cleaned underneath. A duct seal was messed up and that was what was causing the smell to come through the refrigerator. They fixed it and after a month, the ice machine was shooting water everywhere and it made a ice waterfall all through the freezer end part of the refrigerator. South Valley Appliance came in and then they worked on that. There was another broken part that they replaced and then when they were replacing that, a piece broke off so they were gonna order that. Before I knew it, AHS sent me the thing for the refrigerator replacement. We went through it and looked at the refrigerators, and we ended up going with the one that the website suggested. Everything worked out perfect. They came out and delivered it, put it in and everything is working good now.

    My AC wasn't cooling one Friday night. Right away, I filed a claim online to American Home Shield and went through a very easy process. A-US Air Conditioning called on Saturday and told us that their first available appointment was on Tuesday. Their tech came when he said he would. He diagnosed my problem and fixed it right away. He found that the problem was the way the air filter and air vent didn't get locked up. He put a whole new filter in and the AC has been doing fine since then. I've had another home warranty company, and AHS' contractors are far from the competition.

    It's simple filing a claim with American Home Shield. You just go online and plug in the information. Then they call you back, and set up an appointment for you. I’ve done it twice. The first one was two days, and then the second one was just the next day when they came out. So, they were right on top of things. Both of the contractors that have been out here have been great. The young man that came out and did the furnace had to rebuild the whole base unit that was there to make the replacement fit. The older one was 30 years old and it was huge, and the new ones are smaller. It took him most of the day, but he did a wonderful job. The fellow that came out to do the plumbing was here for an hour and 20 minutes. From the time he got here, he saw what it was and he went out to his truck, came back in, and took it out. He put the new one in and hooked it up, and was way to go.

    When we were closing the garage door, it would go halfway down and then go back up with all of my remotes. Then on the one that’s for the garage door directly, we had to hold the button down for it to go all the way down. And when we open the garage door again, it would do the exact same thing. It was very frustrating because you can’t close the garage door once it’s up. At one point, you could not open the garage door when it was down. It would go halfway up and then close back again. Garage Door Experts tested to see what was wrong with the garage door. Apparently, it was something with the sensor. So, they were able to fix the sensor, do some maintenance on the garage door itself to make sure if there was something on the sensor, and it worked perfectly.

    I submitted the claim online with American Home Shield. And with that claim, navigating the website was okay. I’ve used it before and it did not go as well, but it was a miscommunication of when a repair person was supposed to come out. I found out 10 minutes before the person was arriving that they were on their way because there had to be somebody there. It was like 24 hours. So, we got that situated. And the person with the garage door company called me directly and said, “We will be there tomorrow.” Then when he called again, “We’re in the area, and just make sure somebody’s home.” So, it went quite well with them.

    Since the toilet was broken, only one of my two bathrooms was working so I had to walk across the house every single day to use the restroom. It was literally at the opposite side of the house, and my office was on the side of the house with a broken toilet. It was a matter of walking back and forth every single day. The toilet has been broken for a long, long time, and so I finally just reached out to American Home Shield to fix it, and they fixed it up in a quick time and efficiently.

    I submitted the claim through the online portal and it seemed all right to me. Just logged on to the website, picked what I needed, paid the $75 fee, had the contractor come out. AHS told me that the contractor would call me. And then a little bit later, either that day or the next day, Lubbock A-1 Plumbing got ahold of me. They came out, fixed what I needed, and they left. They were fantastic. They got everything I needed done and even helped me out with a couple of extra things. Everything has been fixed and performing better than it has ever been. It was a really simple and smooth process.

    We purchased a home and the sellers renewed the warranty. The seller have been buying homes so they already knew everything that I would need so I thought that was very nice of them to go ahead and renew the warranty for me because I didn’t even think that far into it. We've had American Home Shield since March. When our AC went completely out, I filed for the claim online on a Sunday. The rep called me on Sunday and assured me that somebody will call me between 12:00 and 4:00 on Monday. She said, “The contractor will call you and give you a better time frame.” And the contractor did. He told me he was gonna be here at 12:00 and he pulled up at 11:58. I’m a first time home buyer so I asked a lot of questions and he answered my questions. He looked at the AC, did maintenance on it and it was fixed when he left. He also gave me some tips on preventative measures and quotes. He was very knowledgeable and very professional.

    A couple of months ago, we were told by the inspector that there's a leak in the plumbing of where the tub is in the master bathroom. And then, there is a crack in the tub that keeps getting bigger and bigger. I wanted AHS's contractor, J-Star Services, to come out and see if the leak is related to the crack and why is the crack there, if it's not for the leak. The plumber said there was no leak and he didn't know why the crack is there. So, the crack just keeps getting bigger and bigger and I don't wanna find out something bad to happen while we're taking a shower.

    My online claims experience was not bad, overall. I like the way they have claims categorized and sub-categorized. Their site just needs to give more options as far as being able to put in more description of the issue that you're having. My interaction with the J-Star plumber was good, initially. I just I haven't heard back from them and it has been over a week now. I don't know if they're waiting for an answer from AHS.

    I had a broken garbage disposal and when I submitted a claim online, I was very pleased with the American Home Shield website. Then My Georgia Plumber called me that day and scheduled the appointment. They told me an exact time and it was within 24 hours of the call. They were very nice. They explained to me that they were working on the garbage disposal and it was good because they told me about a piece that was removable.

    My Georgia Plumber handled everything just fine, but American Home Shield took forever to authorize a replacement. The plumber said that the garbage disposal needed to be replaced, but he had to get approval first. He was on the phone with AHS for 15 minutes and then somebody came on the line and hang up on him. He then went outside for a while and he was still on the phone when he came back in and finally, it was picked up and approved. American Shield needs to respond to their call-ins when getting an approval. Other than that, everything has been performing great.

    We had issues with our kitchen and bathroom sinks and both of them were backing up. We submitted a claim to AHS and their reps were very nice to us. Pruitt’s Plumbing went out to do service. The tech was very nice and he took care of everything. He fixed the sink in the hall and with the one in the kitchen, he took the pipe and everything off. He was very thorough and everything is fine now.

    Submitting a claim with AHS was so easy. I went online and filled up their form, then I got an email back from them within an hour. So, it was pretty good. It was a claim on the refrigerator and they sent out Appliances & More. The techs showed up as they said, on the appropriate time, and they did very good. AHS is a good warranty overall.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield for three and a half years and I have only had to use the homeowners warranty twice but I kept it just in case I needed it. I usually submit my claims online and it’s fairly easy. AHS scheduled somebody to come out and take a look. The contractor found what was wrong, but they weren’t able to get the part right away. So, the next day, they came back with the part and installed the part, and got it working. The service call fee is $75 no matter what. I understand that AHS don’t wanna have people just calling for nothing and having a guy come out to look at it and they have to pay that company to come look at it, and then they find there's nothing wrong. But AHS should give you, if not the full amount, something back if there's a problem found so we don’t have to pay quite as much because we're paying plenty for the service already.

    I called American Home Shield to submit a claim for a broken toilet. I spoke with a representative and the interaction was very good. They gave me a time frame of 24 to 48 hours that I would be contacted by the plumbing company, which was accurate. And then, when the plumbing company called, they gave me a time frame as far as when they would come out. Once they got here, they assessed the problem and handled it. The contractor was very good. He gave us a card and I told him that there might be some other things that were not covered under warranty, but I may contact him about them. It was an excellent experience.

    We've been having issues with the AC for the last three years now. It has a small leak somewhere and it would leak Freon over the wintertime. Then at springtime, I turn the AC on and everything works, but it doesn't get cold. It was fixed at the beginning of the summer, which was the third time that Dean's had been out to fill it and try to find that leak. Then, a month and a half later, American Home Shield contacted Dean's and authorized to replace the whole unit. The Freon used in my old air conditioner was out of date and you couldn't buy it anymore. It took Dean's a few days to come back out a second time to replace it. I'm very satisfied with the work performed.

    We couldn't get our 17 year old AC unit to come back on. I called AHS immediately at 7:00 that night. The next morning, they were trying to find someone to come out. They couldn't find anyone to do service in my area which is rural and out in the country. The contractor they got a hold of couldn't come until the next day. We tried throughout the day until Gaines Appliance, Heating & Air Repair came to get the AC to come on but it wouldn't. When their tech came, the AC came on for him and he said that he couldn't diagnose it until it cuts off so that he could see what was going on. So, we waited but then it never cut off. The tech told us that I have two months to recall so if the AC cuts off, he would come back that night or the next day. The AC has worked fine though since it's cooler now, we haven't had to turn it on.

    The tech did say that if the issue was the condenser, it was a part that he could replace. If it was the compressor, the whole unit would have to be replaced. But he could not make that decision until he saw it actually do what it was doing. I hated that I had to pay $100 and I wished the tech could have gotten out while the AC was doing what it was doing. Even so, I'd definitely recommend AHS.

    The hot water heater was leaking. I went online to submit a claim to AHS and then Plumb Genius got back to me and looked at my account. They said they would repair the hot water heater or replace it if needed. The guy from Plumb Genius came out and inspected it and said that it was essentially eroding from the inside, so it needed to be replaced. He started the process, and then a different group of two men came out three days later and took care of it. The new water heater tank is doing very well. In fact, we get hot water in our farthest bathroom, which is our master bathroom. We get it about three minutes earlier, so I'm saving on water with the efficiency of it.

    Apparently, there was a substantial pay to upgrade, but I'm not complaining because it needed to be done. AHS covered what they said they would, so I'm thankful for it. It would have been a lot more, and I did not have that. I've used AHS two or three times and I've never been disappointed. So, I'm very happy with them. AHS came with the house that I bought, but six months later, the account expired. I just continued it because every time I write out a check for the year, I just remember how good everything was. The guys that they recommend and send out have all been very professional and very competent.

It was not easy to use, and I could not enter in what I needed repaired. I would have liked if I could actually enter in what the plumbing problem was instead of having to pick one that it was not, and then dealing with the plumber later ‘cause there was no option to tell them what was really wrong with my freaking shower.

    I've had American Home Shield for a total of 16 years. I kept it because I wanted to make sure that I was covered. I've been in my house now for 12 years and I wasn't even here two months before I actually had to have my stove replaced because it malfunctioned. They couldn't fix it, so they ended up replacing it. It's a peace of mind.

    But I am so, so disappointed in D&P Plumbing's service and everything that happened with that company. I feel like AHS should drop them from their list. The first time the tech came out to diagnose and fix the leak, he said we were good. He said he secured the knob and that we should be fine. But he wasn't gone an hour and the shower began leaking even worse when my son got out of the shower. When we were in the shower, it sounded like the water was hitting and gonna come through my kitchen. And it wasn't the cold water, it was the hot water, so I had to turn it off. I tried to call the tech but he didn't answer. I texted him and I also sent him a video just to show him and asked when he could come out.

    It was a week and a half before he even responded to me calling him. I had to turn the hot water off and leave it off. It was leaking so bad and I knew that my bill was gonna be ridiculous if I just let it. The only time we had hot water is when we took a shower. When I washed dishes, or clothes, or anything like that, I couldn't use the hot water because I kept having to turn it on and off. And my thing was it wasn't even dripping, it was pouring from the shower.

    Finally, he came back out and he looked at it again. He said that he could temporarily fix it and tighten our knobs, but that he was gonna have to go through the wall, knock some tiles out, and fix the leak in the wall. I told him that this happened to me about five years ago and there is a way to get to the pipes from the inside of my actual closet, from my bedroom. He said he felt like he had to knock the tiles out because he didn't know if he could get to it from our closet. Also, he said it was gonna cost me $150 for him to do the work and I said, "Okay, fine, whatever it takes." I just needed it fixed so we could continue to use the shower and use the hot water.

    More time passed and I finally called AHS and filed a complaint. I said they had approved for him to do the work and I was waiting for him to come. I texted him and I told him it was approved. He started texting me back and he was giving me this long story and I thought he had me mixed up with somebody else. It sounded like he had way too many jobs.

    I sent him another video and I said I was in tears because it was leaking worse and worse to the point where it was pouring. He texted me back and he said it was gonna cost $150. I told him to go back and look at his text. I told him when American Home Shield approved it two weeks prior that I was okay with paying that fee. He said he was gonna check his calendar. Another week passed and I texted him and I asked what was going on. I called American Home Shield and I talked to somebody. I asked for another company and they told me that the tech needed to finish the job and AHS was gonna have to charge me another $75. He came back a third time and he knocked out tiles on my wall. He tapes it up and he puts in a brand new spout in the bathtub and some kind of dial but it was still leaking.

    I called back to file the complaint because another week and a half had passed, I talked to the lady and I told her what happened. I asked if there was any way that someone else could come out and she said sure. I thanked her and told her that when I called back before, I asked for someone to come out to get a second opinion and they told me that I would have to pay again and that this person needed to complete the job. She said that was not correct. They should have never told me that I have to pay again. She said she had had to correct a couple of cases that week where people were told the same thing. And that just broke my heart because I feel like I have really been taken for granted.

    They reassigned it to Sage Mechanical. A guy came out and he was here 45 minutes. He went right in through my closet, like I had told the other plumber, and he fixed the leak. I asked him if it was necessary for the other man to knock out my wall and he said, "No." I almost wanted to just pass out. So, now I have a huge hole in my wall and I've been trying to work a contractor to come get it fixed. The contractors are very busy and they're very expensive, so I have no idea how much it's gonna cost me to repair the damage that he did to my shower.

The people that finally got out here to do my heat and air was Southern Comfort and they were amazing. They were the guys who worked at my house the day they finally got the thing in. It had to be ordered, but there was a delay because I had to replace my air 'cause it wouldn't work with the new heat system. We couldn't just add it to the call so I had to go on a second one and pay the $75. I just wanted it done quickly.

    We've had Home Shield a couple of times since we bought our house. Having a warranty is a benefit as I have no way to know a house unless I build it myself. Also, when I have a warranty I get a chance to have old stuff that may start going out taken care of. But I realized the previous problems that hadn't been taken care of were not covered. We had a leak under our sink in one of the bathrooms. Home Shield assigned DFW Plumbing and they were great. They got back to me right away and they sent a guy out. When he looked at the sink, he said that it had been installed improperly and there were pieces missing, and he knew American Home Shield would not cover it. He gave us a bid for their company to fix it, which we did not do. We ended up getting our own plumber.

    But everybody that we dealt with Home Shield has been great. We had an electrical company come out and they took care of everything that was not working properly. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Also, submitting a claim, calling and getting it set up is very easy. I call and it's automated. Then, they get back to me within 24 hours. That all works really well. They have somebody contact me within a week and even more quickly.

    We had backup issues coming from the guest bedroom into my shower. Originally, Gator Drain and Plumbing came out for the guest bathroom and declared it taken care of. But the next night, it did the same thing. So, I called American Home Shield again and the next day, they sent out this young kid who didn’t know what he was doing. He couldn’t find the clean pipe so he pulled the toilet and he charged me 150 bucks because it was not carried under plumbing to pull the toilet. Then they told me that it was gonna cost me $650 for them to come out and do the clean-out.

    I ended up calling someone else and the guy came out and put the snake down the pipe through my roof, and found my clean-out and it had roots in it. He showed me what was going on and made sure I understood, and he charged me 350 bucks instead of 650. Also, the old homeowners knew that they had some backup and they did not disclose this, so my Realtor and her title law firm company were taking care of that. We had to replace 60 feet of pipes on the house out to the sidewalk. It is clear enough right now that we’re using it, but the guy can’t guarantee how long it’s gonna work. So, I’m waiting for an estimate from him.

    I know that AHS is not gonna cover the outside piping. The guy that I hired on my own snaked it through my roof and I wanted to know if it would be classified as outside or inside. If they pay for everything, I should get reimbursed from them. If it’s not, that’s okay. Eventually, I will get my money back in some way, shape or form. American Home Shield has been a good help. They sent out who they knew to send out, but they might want to find somebody else to recommend.

    I had a faucet that was leaking. The first time I submitted them claim, I got an automation, then when Nussbaumer called and said that they could not do the shut-off valve because it wasn't on the work order, I called American Home Shield back, got it included on the work order and then was good to go. When the contractor came, he couldn't shut of the water underneath the sink because the shut-off valves were either broken or frozen. There were two valves. One didn't have a knob and the other one has but the guy from Nussbaumer couldn't turn it. And so, when he came out, he had to shut off the main water and then he had to cut to those off, put those things on, and then change our faucet. Everybody who came here were great. But I would have preferred if they wore booties over their shoes, but they didn't and I didn't ask. Other than that, they were pleasant and knew what to do. They got the job done and the faucet works.

    American Home Shield is the best. I know I can call them, and as long as I tell them exactly what's going on, I know that I can get my problem resolved. When people come, there are no surprises. There's never been anything that hasn't been covered that they said, "Oh, we do cover this," and then somebody comes and then it's, "Oh, it's not." And I love that even when I pay 62 a month, I never have to worry about anything in my house not being affordable to fix.

    I had a problem with a couple toilets and bathroom sink were clogged. I called directly to a representative from Home Shield. I have a little problem because it was first time I was using this company, and it was a little bit of confusion finding my information of the system. But the lady was very kind and finally was able to fix it. So, that was okay.

    The person who came personally knocked the door. I didn't hear when he knocked the door. I just saw through the window that somebody was there because of the car. And when I opened the door, he said that the problem was fixed. It was fixed very quickly. He didn't even explain finding or fixing the problem. I didn't like the way he operated. Before I opened the door, he was running the snake from outside of my house, and he didn't talk to me. He just assumed what the problem was. He fixed it by himself without talking to me. When I told him that I also have a problem with the sink in the bathroom, he told that it should be fixed. I felt like he was too efficient for me and he was thoroughly unprofessional.

    The thermostat on our upstairs AC unit says 72, but it is not 72 up there. One room will be really cold and one room will be hot. When submitting the claim with American Home Shield, I did everything online and got a referral. Then J-Tech called me immediately. American Home Shield did what they said and it was very smooth. When the technician came out, he didn't find anything and he said that the AC was working fine.

    The technician didn’t really offer any solutions for the AC other than he just thought it was the most we can expect since it was super hot and there was a 20-degree differential between outside and in. It was a little cooler that day and the upstairs did feel cooler. But it is definitely warmer than the rest of the house. The issue could be something with the vent or with the thermostat. I'm just gonna wait and see just how the AC performs. Other than that, the guy from J-Tech was very nice and professional. He had a lot of experience and I liked him. I asked him about how big the unit was and if it was enough for that space, and he said that it was. It’s 2-ton and the upstairs is just basically two bedrooms, a small sitting area, and a bathroom.

They've always sent contractors really fast and they have all been really great, going above and beyond. I’ve loved all of them.

    I signed up with this company the beginning of this year and over the phone I told them all of what I had, including septic and well. A contract was written and the monthly fee started. During the summer I called to verify my plan covered all I had, the gentleman said yes. So in September I called for a pipe going into house was leaking, they said I wasn’t covered, that was a separate “well plan” I did not have. I was so upset I cancelled the plan. I had to call a local plumber to have it repaired.

    When I called the company to talk to a management position, to find out what went wrong I was told they could go back and listen to the recording of my contract sign up, but since I cancelled it they were not obligated to do so. Their customer service is non caring and when you do call them you are speaking to someone in the Philippines, Not very happy with this company at all.... Looking elsewhere :(

    We picked AHS for our home warranty company because of their really good reviews and ratings online. Boy was that a mistake! AHS has the worst customer service I have ever had to deal with. They didn't call me to keep me informed. I had to call them multiple times a day, for several WEEKS to get my issue sorted out. I had to repeat why I was calling and give the whole background nearly every time I called. They also hire terrible contractors. The first company contracted to check/service our AC units came out, spent about 10 minutes at my house, told us what was wrong and that we needed new parts. Then they told AHS that the problem was pre-existing and would pre-date our warranty with AHS. AHS decided to just accept that and try to deny the parts claim.

    I had to prove the issue was not pre-existing by providing a copy of our home inspection report that showed the issue wasn't there prior, before they would approve the work. The first contractor also stopped responding to me or AHS altogether. AHS then contracted a 2nd company to give a free 2nd opinion (which was originally not going to be free...). Diagnosis was the same; however, the company wanted to charge $129/lb. of R22 refrigerant and said we needed 8 lbs ($952) per AC unit! With 2 units, that would have been $1900! They also cut holes in our interior AC boxes and didn't patch them up.

    They bent some of the metal as well. And we later found out from the guy we hired ourselves that the 2nd company had left the cap off of the refrigerant line so it could leak out. They were crooks. Luckily AHS did give me an option to get a cash out and hire our preferred company. Turns out we only needed about 1.5 lbs of R22 TOTAL and we only had to pay $75/lb. So this saved us around $1800. Bottom line: I do not recommend AHS for anyone's home warranty needs. Find someone else!

    We are using AHS for the first time after hearing great feedback about the services through a family that has coverage. Our first experience was poor purely due to the lack of communication and direction. Our water heater has been down since last Tuesday (Total of 7 days) and we have had to personally call both AHS and the service company Express Plumbing for status updates. We have not received timely updates on the progress at all.

    In our own initiative to call AHS we found out today (7 days later) that the service company won’t do repair until we make additional payments. My husband has been on the phone with the service company and had asked to see if additional actions are needed on our end and was told that there isn’t. AHS said that they attempted to call but only tried one attempt with no further attempts (i.e another call, email, etc...). Again, all of this initiated from our end. Also, we can understand that there may be a wait, but 7 days with all updates initiated by the customer? In our opinion, this is poor service and a very poor transparency. If this continues through this service request, we’ll revisit the need of having AHS.

    The company sent me a plumbing service that has taken over a month to fix my problem. I've called to complain to AHS a couple of times and all they said is, "We'll figure it out and give them another opportunity." The Plumbing company advised to order parts that did not fit my my faucet and now I spent money on top of my service with still a broken faucet after over a month of still not having the service fixed and I cant return the error parts. I have another faucet that they tried to fix that is worse than what it was because now it doesn't regulate the temperature. Now the water is hot and a little less hot.

    The only reply AHS has after a couple complaints is,"Wait and see." I asked if I could have another company and they said I would have to pay another service fee and request another company. They want me to stick to the irresponsible company. Just perfect. Service fee $100, monthly fee $ 50 and extra useless parts $ 60 dollars so basically $210 later no fix. Lesson learned dont purchase parts if the contractor tells you and stay on top of them and call AHS a million times to fix the problems.

    We have a fan with a light in it and it hangs from the ceiling. I couldn’t get the fan blade chain to turn the fan blade off and it smelled like the beginning of a fire almost. So, we didn’t run the fan until City First Electric came out and fixed the problem. They arrived on time. It took them a while to repair and they weren’t the fastest but they got it all done. I have no complaints and I’d have them back again. After they fixed, we ran both the fan and light for 3 or 4 hours and there was still a slight odor to it. So, we thought, “Hmm, I wonder what’s going on here.” Then we went to bed and the next morning, we got up and I ran the fan and the light for the whole day with an air purifier in the room. By the evening, there was no more odor.

    The problem with the fan is the second time we used Home Shield and the claim submission process was really easy in both the 2 times we used them. We just call them up and tell what the problems are, and they send the people out. The assigned contractor calls me and make an appointment, then they come out. Both times, they came out on time and were professional, neat, and clean. I was happy. We've had Home Shield since the end of last year and provided that they wouldn't be raising the rates then we will be renewing with them once the contract is up.

    It was easy to put the claim in with American Home Shield and I enjoyed the beta version of being able to select the vendor. I called ahead of time before I submitted the claim. So, I knew there was a quick availability and I was able to get other reviews outside of American Home Shield. I enjoyed the guy who came out for the air conditioning which lost its cooling ability.

    I got really frustrated with the claim regarding an appliance that had been replaced. The frustration stems from the lack of communication starting with the sales side and then finishing up with the customer support side. I thought I asked the right questions and the questions that I asked were just on the sales side when I was purchasing. They were answered in a way that was probably not lying, but definitely not conveying the full truth, which has to do with being able to replace your appliance with a cheaper model. We have a double oven type, one stacked on top of the other, and the top one got broken beyond fixing, they couldn’t get parts for it. They wanna replace it with the cheaper appliance, which looked completely different when there was a direct replacement for it.

    I went back and forth with the support people and they said to look on page something of my contract where it said they could do that. I would at least know then that was what I signed up for. That was probably the key point to know. Upon signing, you have expectations and I asked them if it gets replaced, do they replace it with the same one and from what they told me, it led me to believe that they do a direct replacement, not find a cheapest model of something that’s equivalent. But I’m still pretty satisfied with the American Home Shield.

I had another service from my water heater and the guy that came out for that was very good. He was professional and he knew what he was doing.

    The guy who came for the air conditioning was super. He fixed it then it ran an hour and then he said it was probably gonna need a fan motor. An hour later, it quit and it started smelling like burnt wires in the house, so I shut the breaker off. That was a week we’ve been without air conditioning. They ordered the part, and now it’s been a week. They told American Home Shield it would be in on Friday and they’d make an appointment for Monday or Tuesday. I called and they said it wasn’t in. So I called first thing Monday morning. They said it came in on the truck and they scheduled me for Tuesday between 2:00 and 6:00. I said, “Great.” Nobody showed up nor called us. We didn’t know what was going on. I had to continuously make calls where you have to hold forever for Total Air Care and most of the time you go over the Philippines, and they read scripts to you. I’m sick and tired of going overseas.

    I have nothing against anybody answering the phone, but it takes so long and they talk fast. I have to keep telling them to slow down so I can understand. And if you interrupt them, they start the script all over. That’s taxing. I called American Home Shield to see if could call Total Air, but they sent me to the Philippines, and they said they couldn’t transfer me to the United States, so I just hung up. I’m tired of not getting someone that can understand me and not having to read from a script.

    Last night the contractor told American Home Shield something was wrong with the part. I told them that was a lie. This morning, I found out they just couldn’t find the part, but they did get their hands on it today and found it. So, I told scheduling to get it on a truck and get it out so they can fix it today. She said no and that they were totally booked. I said they should bump somebody because we got ignored the previous day and that was only fair. She said no and the soonest they could get to me was Friday, between 2:00 and 6:00. So, now, we’re over a week again. It was two weeks we waited on the air conditioner, and it was so hot. I just had a total hip replacement, so with the heat, I was miserable. And now, it’s like a week and a half. I’m waiting on the supervisor of scheduling to call me back when she gets out of a meeting because I want it worked on today.

    We’re paying monthly now, not autodraft. We want the bill every month because we were looking at other ones. We felt like American Home Shield was telling us one thing, that they expedited it because I was a senior citizen, just had surgery and we had a grandson staying for us while his mom’s working out of town. Well, it didn’t help a single bit. I want my AC worked on today. They just don't act like it's a big thing. I’m ticked off, and I hate them. If something goes wrong with my air conditioner next time, I want someone else coming out because these people just take too long and they lie.

    I’m a Realtor and I used to recommend American Home Shield and I swore and I talked my people into buying it when they bought their house. But I’m not there right now. I’m not happy. American Home Shield should have told me they would get me a new air conditioner. The air conditioner is 34 years old. They got a new compressor, but it took them two weeks to find it and get it out here. Now, we’re dealing with the fan and the motor inside. The air conditioner works awesome when it’s working and the technicians were awesome but I'm very dissatisfied. My office is in my home, and I was just released, and I’ve had to bump people from last week to this week, and now this week, I have to bump them to start next week because they said Friday. I’m losing money and they're costing me clients too. One of them can't wait longer than next Tuesday. He’ll have to go get it somewhere else he said.

    I've been with AHS for a couple of years now. My recent claim with them was my hot water tank. I spoke with someone from AHS and they had someone from a plumbing company to come out and see what was going on. Because they were saying that my hot water tank is really old and that there are different things that should have been on it that aren't, I found out that nothing of it is covered at all. On a previous claim, I had an old dryer and they were able to replace it because they couldn't fix it. But not everything is covered even though they say that if they cannot fix it, they will replace it. They also don't give you any descriptions of anything. For the hot water tank, they told me I would have to come out of pocket at $1,350. I'm very dissatisfied and looking for another home warranty company that covers.

    Family A/C is great and extremely fast. I’ve had them out for at least four times this year already for problems. We had the condenser replaced about two months ago. Then we came home one day from work and the house was 85 degrees. We were without AC for about two and a half weeks which wasn't good, but Family A/C was trying to figure out what AHS was gonna do. They ordered the part, but then some guy from American Home Shield called and said they were gonna just give me a new AC instead of repairing it. It's been a week now and the new AC is doing okay. It felt like it wasn’t cooling as it should, but it has been fine for the last two days. I’m extremely satisfied with this experience.

    I've had a problem with a couple of the AHS reps because some of them don’t speak good English and that’s a big problem. Also, I wish that AHS could contract some local people around Pensacola, Florida to come and fix stuff. It’ll be a whole lot better. Earlier this summer, we had our double oven go out. I called AHS and paid the 125 over the phone. A technician came out, looked at it, and he said that I needed a motherboard or something. He ordered the part from my house. I watched him allegedly order the part. He gave me a date two weeks later to come back in and install it, and I even got the email from that company.

    Two weeks later, I took half a day off work to come home for this idiot ‘cause they were gonna install this part in my oven. I was sitting at the house and never heard from him. I called him the next day and they said that there was a problem. They didn't order the part. Then they had to schedule me another week or two to come back out and then he called me up and asked if there was a need to come out. It was a horrible experience. They finally came out and fixed it. It took about a month to fix that up. Two or three years ago, when my icemaker was going out, that company did fine. It’s just this last year that I’ve had a couple of horror stories with them.

    American Home Shield should make sure that the people taking our calls are clear with their English. It would be beneficial with respect to trying to get issues resolved if we are able to be clear the first time when an appliance is needing repair or if it's totally broken and have to be replaced. It was a little cumbersome to deal with all that but as we went through the process, we got those who were able to speak with clarity and that made the process a lot more effective. Sometimes, it's a little difficult to understand those who are overseas but overall, it's okay to deal with them. We've been with American Home Shield for over 10 years now.

    We had an appliance claim and that went great. The dryer has been installed but we purchased one that was a little bit more expensive. Home Shield didn't find a dryer that we felt was comparable so they gave us the payout and we found what we desired. Then we had one of Lowe's installers come over. He put it in and everything is functioning like it should so far.

    However, we would also like to get callbacks. For instance, our refrigerator is having some issues and Home Shield is gonna replace it but there was a little back and forth on the refrigerator. They could not produce one that was comparable to ours so we went out and we found one at Best Buy, and that's gonna be installed on the 21st. Home Shield had given us a specific email address to reply to and we did that. We've sent them an email indicating that we are going to, as we did with the dryer, take the reimbursement but they had not responded. And that has been over two weeks ago. They didn't call us back and we don't know where the process is at.

    Water was dripping from the AC unit. Next Gen Air was sent out and they were extremely horrible. They made us live without AC for 12 days, and then they were extremely rude. Even when they came to fix, they messed things up. They put the pipe in the condenser backwards, so the dripping didn't stop. It dripped on the back of the pipe, and it probably dripped outside the home. That was a dangerous thing because it could destroy the roof. I've already put a complaint against them and I wanted to get my $125 back.

    I waited a month, and then I called American Home Shield again. The A-US Air Conditioning people came. They were amazing and super professional. They fixed the whole thing within 30 minutes. They got a new fan. And I never had to live without an AC more than 30 minutes. Turnaround time was quick and they really knew what they were doing. Before that, when it was Next Gen Air, the whole process took up to three weeks from start to finish. American Home Shield is a great company and when submitting a claim, it's easy online, taking only two minutes. But AHS should stay away from Next Gen Air because they are giving them a bad name.

    We had experienced a leak in our plumbing. I called American Home Shield and they sent out a plumbing company. They had to replace the main pipe in our home, which resulted in a ceiling having to be ripped up and two walls. American Home Shield also sent out E & J Plastering and they were the ones that completed the drywall work.

    Things have been fine, thus far. The only caveat is that in between requests, like making a claim to getting in contact with the vendor to then perform the work, it is anywhere from 48 to 96 hours which depending on the situation that you're having can be a really long time. In addition to that, in this particular scenario, we had multiple issues that involved multiple vendors. We had plumbing and we had plastering. That period in between correction of the issue was a little over two weeks just because of having to start the claim, wait for the vendor to call you, schedule the time, have them perform the work then you have to wait 48 hours, call the second claim in, and have American Home Shield call the vendor. That was another four or five days. It can be a little bit of a lengthy process but it is what it is.

    Both vendors were great and the communication was good. They really worked with our work schedule which was nice. The only thing is they only finished the work to a rough repair. My husband and I have to do the sanding and repainting of everything which is kind of a pain. In terms of them completing the plumbing then doing the drywall, that took two and a half weeks. But in terms of restoring things back to their original place, we're not even there yet. Other than that, everything has been fine so far. Thankfully, there has been no indication of a new leak. The finishing of the drywall appears to be just fine.

    Our garage is on the side of our house where our driveway is. The garage door wasn't working and so to get into our house, we have to walk all the way around the front. I filed a claim online to American Home Shield. The contractor came to look at it and fixed it right away. He’s come out before and he always does a good job. He’s really nice on the phone and a good communicator. I would recommend him.

    I've been with American Home Shield about two years. I've been with two other companies. One I was with which is in Florida was very good when they started and they did everything. They always had specials, "Okay. For $29 a unit, we'll come service your unit. We'll come clean your dryer vents," all that kind of stuff you need done. And then, I went with another company. The thermostat was broken. And then, I got in a big argument. "That's not covered. This isn't covered. And everything wasn't covered." And I said, "You're not covered either. You're done."

    Then the repair people I talked to said AHS had the best reputation for honoring claims, and that's what's important. I said to the guy with the thermostat, "How come it took so long to get somebody to respond?" I realized they all put this out on a bulletin board, and somebody pulls it off and goes. And he said, "Because if we have any other work, there are certain insurance companies we don't take." He said, "American Home Shield is a good one. We'll take their calls." And these guys aren't dumb. They know which ones are gonna screw them around and which ones aren't.

    Everybody, at least in Florida, gets their air conditioner serviced twice a year. We have a service company, and that was who I called when I had a problem because AHS doesn't offer a service option. My service company came out because I thought it was a clogged drain line, but they were just clear. But they said, "No, you have a leak in your coil." They did the whole test and everything. I said I'm not gonna pay them to put a new coil in because I have a policy on that. Plus, it was under warranty. So I called AHS, and then two days later, Integrity came out and they had to order the part. It was a week I was without air conditioning. The problem is that I can't understand why because every air conditioning manufacturer want you to have those things serviced. So, we have arrangements with service companies because you all don't offer the service, and that's a disconnect.

    If I called and said, "I need to have my pool serviced," they would say, "Well, call somebody and get it done." When you have a problem like that, the first thing you do is call the people who was there twice a year servicing it. And then, they can't call you for authorization to fix it. Then a third or fourth party comes in and does the repair. The contractor came in, did the repair and left. In two weeks my company would come in and service it.

    There are a lot of things with mechanical equipment that you really wanna have serviced and maintained regularly, and using AHS all frustrates that or discourages it, which is counter-intuitive because in their business, they would want to encourage people to service and maintain the equipment and then they would have less breakdowns then. But AHS all did what they said they were gonna do. And as I've learned because I have been with the home maintenance companies for 10 years now, the problem is the design of the policy.

    Clear Flow came out to fix my hot water heater that was leaking. I did the claim online which was pretty easy but it doesn't really give you much room for a description. You just kinda choose hot water heater. Then I got the call from the Clear Flow the next day and there were two different visits. The first one was from Cesar. He came out just to look at the hot water heater and see what was going on with it. That was pretty quick and they showed up within the timeframe that they said they would. The second visit was from Jose. He was great. He came in, I showed him where everything was, and he did his thing. He was pretty quick too. It took about two and a half hours. It was still dripping that night and I called Clear Flow the next morning and told them that. Apparently, there was another part that needed to be replaced. It was a pressure regulator. Jose came out the next day, fixed that up, and it's been good since then.

    I had AHS years ago, and then I let it go. My house was fairly new and I thought I didn't really need it. Then I kinda had gotten hit with $1,300 worth of washer and dryer. I thought of looking into AHS again and I got it back beginning of this year.

    I had been getting all these mailers for a long time from American Home Shield and I’d seen the commercials. I kinda took a gutsy feeling and they looked like a good company. I looked on the website as well and I liked everything I saw. I thought they were reputable too, so I went with them. Aside from that, I preferred going with a bigger household name versus the company that I went with before. I had a bad experience with them and I'll never go back to them. I immediately canceled my service with them when I had a confrontation with one of the techs they sent out. At the time, two diamond bracelets came up missing from my house after he went upstairs without me escorting him because I was at a conference call when he came out. I called the warranty company and reported the incident, then the guy was calling me about the situation. I called the company back and told them that they didn't need to say anything to him.

    Compared to them, I was very impressed with AHS and I had a really a good experience with them. Their claims process was easy. When I had a problem, I called and scheduled the appointment, then the gentleman from Prime Plumbing came out. We were both veterans and we got along. I also liked that he was very professional. He was dressed nicely, too and he was here a couple of minutes ahead of time. That day, I had an appointment and he was already sitting in the driveway when I got here right around 8 o’clock. And he got right in and fixed that problem. He also showed me what the problem was and told me I shouldn’t be putting certain things down that drain. When I told him all the things I was putting down there, he said that it was not a good idea to put that stuff down there because they'd clog it up and I'd run into this problem again. So, I haven’t been putting any green stems or kale and those heavy sticks and stems in there.

    I had two different issues. My water heater wasn't working so there was no hot water in the house. Someone from Blue Star Plumbing fixed it and he did a great job. He went somewhere and got some piece needed. He was respectful too. The other company came a month before for the toilet flushing issue I had. That was making noise after I flush the toilet so their technician fixed it and then changed the part. The water heater and the toilet work efficiently and well now.

    I've had American Home Shield since I got this house in 2013. So it's been six years and the renewal is an automatic thing. It just goes through. It was like $50 first but right now, my premium has been raised up to $59. I don't think more stuff is covered though. It's the same. But the reps at AHS are always helpful and usually, I get fast service. There was a $75 charge and this claim was fast. After a day, I got a call and we scheduled. I had called on Thursday and the contractor wanted to schedule on Friday but I wasn't available so it was on Monday, which was like three days later. On Saturdays and Sundays, they're off.

    I had a leak from the bathroom going downstairs to the living room. Initially, American Home Shield sent somebody else and then, they sent Five Brothers Plumbing. They came out to diagnose the issue and later, a different contractor was sent to patch the wall, which was United Air Temp. They touched up the drywall portion that was needed to be fixed. They were prompt but their patch job was not the best. After I painted, it was still showing and I don't think they sanded it. They probably should have given another coat after sanding but, overall, it wasn't terrible.

    Before I signed up, I heard a lot of horror stories about American Home Shield, so my expectation wasn't very high. Then I started using it and I'm very satisfied with the service so far. But when you have an issue, they're not sending you somebody the same day or sometimes, it's not even the next day. You have to wait. But that's part of the nature of the beast. Overall, compared to some of the negative online reviews I've read, I'm very happy with AHS.

    The dishwasher was stuck in a cycle. I turned it on at night and when I woke up the next morning, it was still running. So, that was a long cycle and I couldn't turn it off. It wouldn't allow me. And so, I had to unplug it under our sink to make it quit running. I called AHS about it and I got through an automated prompt. It was frustrating because I had to keep saying, "Dishwasher, dishwasher." But that's okay. They said that they would send me a reply. They replied immediately and sent me who was gonna service us and what their number was. And then, National Platinum Service, Inc. reached out to me soon.

    But before getting the appointment, National Platinum wanted me to tell them what was wrong and give them my dishwasher serial number so they can order parts if they need to. And I didn't like that. It was frustrating. I felt like they were just using the information I was giving them, which I have no idea except for the fact that my washer didn't work. I wanted them to come out, and then tell me what was wrong. But the guy who came out and serviced our dishwasher was knowledgeable and very responsive to my calls. He was very easy to go along with as far as my time constraints. He worked really well with my hours because I work all day, and he came out quickly. He was very receptive. Whenever he left and I had another issue, he responded quickly. Honestly, it was just a sensor that needed to be dried out. He didn't replace anything, but he did come out.

    I tried to run the dishwasher again because he said that the soap I was using was too sudsy, and I never heard of that. But it has run, and then whenever I tried to do a cycle without any dishes, it started to leak through the door. He called me back and made sure that I had stuff in it to make sure that the jets weren't just blowing stuff up against the door and causing it to leak, which after I loaded it, it was fine. Since then, the dishwasher has much improved. Everybody likes it. Overall, American Home Shield has been responsive, respectful and diligent.

    American Home Shield recently sent Infinity Plumbing, which is a very good company as far as I’m concerned. But the handling of the claim through American Home Shields' bureaucracy almost made it impossible. It was taken roughly. It took between two and three weeks to fix things. If I would’ve just straight out paid for something, it would’ve been done in three hours’ time, and everything would have been good.

    And it was not the first time I’ve experienced that. I’ve experienced that on two other issues. Infinity came out four or five times altogether to complete the job. And the prior times, it was like six times and four times. American Home Shield's process drives these plumbers to first come out, they send AHS some pictures, and AHS would say, “Okay, we’ll get the parts,” then they have to bring the parts out, then they have to try to install them and find out that AHS ordered the wrong parts. And that’s kinda the drill it’s gone through. I’m really disappointed in the time it takes me to get an issue resolved.

    Also the first contractor AHS sent out could do nothing with the first call until I paid for upgrading the system to current city code. They could not give me a price. They gave me something verbally, and then later on changed it. They were almost impossible to reach. Every time I called them, I got some lady in a household with screaming kids in the background, but it wasn’t necessarily the same lady. And sometimes I got somebody that’s apparently in a call center somewhere in the Philippines.

    A year ago, we had to wait on the phone for 30 minutes or more submitting claims to Home Shield but that has improved. For one of my recent claims, Ultra Heating, Cooling 7 Refrigeration did a good job. The tech even came earlier than what he said which was good for us because at that time, it was still a little bit hot so it was uncomfortable in the house. He had our air conditioning going at an earlier time. After that, our icemaker had a problem and so they sent another guy to fix that and he did a good job, too.

    But I've resigned from Home Shield recently because the prices have gone up. When I signed up with them, it was only $45 a month. But this year, it has gone up to $59. Not only that, but they want us to pay in advance the copay for the worker that comes out. They want to deduct it from my credit card even before we see the repairman. The jobs are good but I’ve always complained about the copay. It's $100 each time, so in a matter of three days, I have to pay two people. $100 for the icemaker and $100 for the air conditioning. It’s not their fault that we have these two problems within one week, but the copay of $100 is a little high compared to the other people. $65 is what the other companies are offering. And recently, they wrote me that if the Freon is needed for our heating and air conditioning, they only pay some of it and not the whole thing. Fortunately, we haven’t needed it but I don’t see why there is some kind of limit for that.

    We previously had AHS when we lived in a different town. Then we got a brand new house and on our fifth year being in this house, we decided to get the warranty again. When we filed a claim recently, AHS was able to get ACE Heating & Cooling out here ASAP. They called us right back and even wanted to come sooner than we could accommodate them. My husband was here when they came and he was very happy with them. They were very efficient. They found the problem immediately, fixed it and they were out. It went very well and we've had no issues since.

    I like the way American Home Shield works, so I’m satisfied. They’re top-notch from what I’ve seen and I recommended them to my friend. The people that were sent out by American Home Shield for my AC did a good job. I bought a brand-new townhouse, and come to find out, the AC wasn't installed correctly. The pipe that goes outside the second floor in case the pan overflows was not connected. It was wobbly and it fell off. The AC people that came out (not the people sent by American Home Shield) were fantastic but they they didn’t have any people to put insulation in and to do the walls, so it was very annoying, and they had nothing to do with drying up the attic.

    I had a plumbing issue and TNT Plumbing and Heating, AHS' contractor, came out to do service. The guy did the drywall but then I'm wondering if the painting part was supposed to be included in that service. I need to call AHS about that. Though I have that concern, interacting with them has been fine thus far.

    Penelope,

    Thanks for letting us know everything worked out great for you. Taking care of our customers is the main goal here at AHS. Unfortunately, the painting would not be covered under the contract. It would only cover to bring the drywall to a rough finish. I am glad that you were happy with the experience. We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Enjoy your day.

    My bathroom overhead lights would not come on. I submitted a claim with American Home Shield and it took two days for someone to come out. It was Class A Services that came out, and they were excellent. I got one claim right now that I've been waiting to hear from for about two months. It was a thermostat on my AC. I got four of them in my house, so three of them are working. I followed up with the technician and he said he's still waiting on AHS.

    The AC's condenser went bad. The tech said it was good that we called Home Shield because the AC was going bad. If we waited too long, we would've been sweating it out until he got there. I've had to go out on my car before and the AC just blows out hot air, so it must not even be on because we can get fans to do the same thing as blowing air around. It wasn't cooling properly. We set it on a certain level and it just couldn't get there. Something was wrong, so that's why we called Home Shield. Bencraft Mechanical came out whose tech was out before for maintenance. He was professional, knew what he was doing, and very nice.

    However, I was very perturbed a long time because we bought the house in '98 and it had an older AC at the time. We live on the beach side where it's got that rusty air. So we figured, "Well, that would be a good time to buy the insurance." A year or two later when the old AC died, I knew if we didn't properly maintain the system, we would be denied. I paid an AC person to come to the house. They were there for about an hour, they took apart the air handling unit and took the whole thing outside, acid washed it, cleaned the coils, everything. I told them I gotta do it once in a while in case the unit died and American Home Shield denied me.

    After they did that, the technician came out, looked in the air handling unit and said, "Oh, I see you cleaned one set of the coils recently, but not the other set." And I said, "What?" And he said, "Yeah, there' another set for higher, upper," whatever. But all the coils didn't get cleaned. Therefore, he had to call it in and the whole thing was denied because of that. That cost me five grand to put in a new system. So, I was not too happy with American Home Shield, but I understand that if I didn't maintain the unit properly, that's in the book.

    I was really, really perturbed with the AC guy who I specifically hired to do that so that I would not ruin my American Home Shield coverage. I don't know why I didn't sue him because he cost me five grand. I had the invoice that I paid him $450 to come out and service the AC. I was willing to show that to the technician that came out, and they said, "Well, it doesn't really matter what you paid the guy. He didn't do the full job." So I paid $450 for nothing. Then the unit died and I got denied. That was at least seven years ago since this new system got put in. I'm the kind of guy that goes after people if they do me wrong, and I just don't remember now how he wriggled out of it. But I've had other things happen now and then. There were dishwashers or the garbage disposal and the water leaks in the walls. I'm very happy to have Home Shield. I even tried to sell my dad on it who lives three houses down.

    My hot water heater was not getting hot water. I had no hot water for four days. The one, Lincoln Plumbing, that American Home Shield contacted first said he couldn’t do it because it was a mobile home. That was very irritating. I called American Home Shield and as soon as they knew that Lincoln Plumbing would not be able to help me, they got right on getting somebody else. American Home Shield assigned a second contractor, Coastal Maintenance & Plumbing and they were 100% great. The repairman had a little part that he had to put in then the water heater worked fine. I was extremely happy with Coastal Maintenance & Plumbing and very happy with American Home Shield, but they should not ever use Lincoln Plumbing for me again.

    I had a water leak in the attic and after making a claim with Home Shield, someone from Heros Plumbing came the next day. I did this claim online and the process was pretty easy. The contractor was quite professional and did a great job. Things have been going very well since the repair.

    The AC was not cooling and we reported it to American Home Shield. Somebody came, looked at it, and sent the report to them. Then they came back saying that the claim was denied and that it's a pre-existing condition. I challenged it and they said that we'd go for a second opinion. But they misled me totally. I never challenged the technician's diagnosis. I challenged American Home Shield's assessment of saying it's a pre-existing condition.

    So the second technician came in and reported the same problem of the AC. But he never said there's a pre-existing condition. I communicated with the technician with what his assessment was and asked if he reported it as a pre-existing condition. He said that they didn't care about that and they just reported the problem. Still, the AHS guys are assuming and saying that the other technician reported it as a pre-existing condition. All in all, my experience with them has been terrible. I've been talking to them and I even called yesterday. It's not about money. They're simply skipping and I don't like it. As a client, I should not have these things.

    I did a claim for my hot water heater and Pierremont Plumbing and Gas came out and checked. They had to order a part and came back the following week to install it. This claim went very well for me. However, when I call American Home Shield, I seem to always get someone that has a very bad accent whom I could hardly understand.
