    AHS sent out Fleshers Refrigeration for our claim. It really impressed me that they came right away. Usually, you have to wait a day or two. It went good. All it was was one wire that popped out from the blower. And all they did was push it back in and tighten it and everything works.

    I’m going on my third year with American Home Shield and everything has been pretty good, so far. Also, it's pretty easy to submit claims online. When I had a technician come out for my AC claim, I didn’t have time to get home. He went in the backyard and checked the gauges and told me what happened. I was having some construction done on my house and they were putting up new siding, and they drove a nail through the line that holds all the refrigerant and it leaked out. I had the people that were doing construction go out there and fix it. The technician did everything before I could even get home to be there. He did great and it didn’t cost me anything. This is the second time that same guy has come out. They always do a good job. Overall, I'm happy with everything.

    It was 91 degrees in my house and my AC wasn't working at all. American Home Shield's claim rep was incredibly professional and personal. Her customer service was so sincere and I really felt that she had compassion for my problems. I'm a baby boomer, and that's important to me. The contractor that came out was amazing too. He was very personable, polite, accurate and quick. And I learned something about my house that I didn't know. The issue was caused by a leak, and I didn't know that a water leak will automatically shut down the AC. He explained this, fixed the AC and was out of there in no time. Now, my AC is working better than it's ever worked.

    This is why I've had Home Shield for over nine years, and why I'll have them into the future. Because every time I've used them, it's been this good. I've had my refrigerator fixed more than twice. I was expecting them to come on Tuesday or Wednesday 'cause I've called them over the weekend, but they called me Monday morning at 8 o'clock and they came out Monday afternoon. Overall, I'm happy with the service that I got 'cause it was just fantastic.

    My ac was clogged up so I called American Home Shield. And they set me an appointment a day or two, so it was not really very long. The contractor was good. He was pretty friendly and let me help. He told me what he was doing, and said, "Hey, I need help in order to do that." So, I was there helping him. He saw where, which hose it was, which hose ran off place and which hose was running in place. The ac is doing good now. It's not leaking any more. I'm satisfied with AHS. I was actually giving advice to somebody to go through it. It's who everybody was going to.

    I've had American Home Shield for more than five years and most things are okay. I had Old Republic before and they take longer processing or assigning a request. American Home Shield gets it done, except the last one, but otherwise, very good follow-up until somebody's assigned to that request. Most recently, I created a service request but it was canceled and then I called in. It took almost a week to resolve the problem with the AC and we are in Texas. I was not satisfied with the timeframe at all. But the tech from A-US Air Conditioning of Texas was super quick, very nice, and knowledgeable.

    My garbage disposal was not functioning. The AHS contractor came out. He was very timely and knowledgeable. He knew what he needed to do. He went in and turned the switch on the bottom of it to reset it, which I was not aware of, and it didn't turn on. Then he took what was like an Allen wrench and put it in it, and moved the blades, then turned it on again, and the blades did move, but then he also noticed there was a leak in the seal. He said that it had to be replaced because we can’t deal when the seal breaks so he looked into making sure it was approved, then went and looked for the new replacement item. Had the item and installed it the same day, and it’s back up and running. It’s been working great so far.

    I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield and it wasn’t too bad. I wasn’t sure exactly what to put, but I knew it was electrical, so that was what I put. The contractor came in, and he opened up the light area and checked the light switch. He determined that it was the ballast in the light and proceeded to replace it. When he was screwing it back in, something on the ballast broke or on the light itself. So, he just screwed it in to the light casing and tried to fix it that way. He ended up re-screwing it in another position to get it to stay up there but it works. Other than that, it was a quick and pleasant experience. I also had an issue with my toilet and the guy who came out told me I needed to replace it. So, he was talking like 300 bucks and I could buy a toilet for cheaper than that and put it in myself. So, we just took it off and we got the piece out that was clogging it up, and it didn’t cost us anything but a toilet seal.

    American Home Shield's pricing was fair and reasonable. I saw one of the ads on the TV as well, so I decided to check out the company and give them a chance. I normally call them even though there's an online option. Then they immediately put the work order in when I call. Everything is fine. My biggest challenge is when the work order is cut, getting the company to be accommodating to the customer. It seems the customer has to cater to the contracted companies' timeframe. For instance, when it first went out, we were experiencing a heat wave for two weeks straight at 90 degrees to 92 degrees every single day. It was a Friday when it happened and they couldn't come out. They don't do emergencies, even though we were burning up inside of here. They don't work on weekends. So, I was almost to the point to going to get a hotel. It was so ridiculous that I had to wait till Monday.

    And then, that was challenging because I live alone and they want you to stay home for three hours. They would tell you, "Well, I'll be there between 9 and 12. You're not the only customer." A lot of companies do that, but it doesn't cater for the person that lives alone, and I would have to take sick time, which I couldn't. It was a struggle trying to get the company to come out. I explained to one of the representatives, "You should pass it on, that you guys need to look for and add a company in there." Because I see them locally advertised that they have 24/7 service. If I have an emergency at night or somebody, and they have little children in the house Friday night, we can't wait till Monday morning for somebody to come take a look at it. So I have a big issue with that that all the contracted companies are your typical 8 to 4, 9 to 5.

    I've had three service calls about this air condition in the space of three months or less. It was a different company that came twice. For some reason, they thought they found the issue. They replaced some parts, but it wasn't fixed. So a few weeks later, it went back to the same issue. When Automatic Control came out, the guy took his time and actually went through the entire system, hence he found one of the lines had a leak, and that was the problem from the get-go, that the other company couldn't figure out. So I was very pleased with the service and the experience of the technician.

    My sister and my brother-in-law currently have AHS, and they were telling me how good they are in regards to fixing any items that have an issue around the house. And just the safety blanket of knowing that if the item can't be fixed, they replace it ‘cause things always break down. And then, with my busy work schedule, sometimes it's hard for me to really find a time to really repair a lot of these items. My knowledge is a little bit on the light side as well when it comes to a lot of the things that break down around the house.

    I bought an AHS warranty and I've been with them for six months now. I submitted a claim online and it was very easy. I had to get confirmation on certain items that I was not too sure of and they were very knowledgeable with the information that they had given me back. The contractors resolved the issue as well. It was the thermostat that needed to be replaced and they replaced it with no issues. And they replaced it with a really nice thermostat, so I was very happy with that.

    Central Electric Contractors came out for my ceiling fan in the master bedroom. In the first instance, they did not have a switch. The switch was broken and defective, so they had to order a chain switch. The second time, the gentleman finally put in a switch, but it was only a two-speed switch versus a three-speed. Apparently, the manufacturer sent them the wrong one. The tech said he had to order a three-speed, so he would talk to the office and have them do that. However, I have not heard back from them yet. That was two weeks ago. I just don’t wanna bug them. I’m trying to give them time.

    I wasn't getting a good airflow to the back, two rooms of the house. I called American Home Shield and the rep I spoke with was fine. It took two days for Mills Electric to come out. We were happy with the work done until we had someone come back a couple days later and show us a big gap in the ductwork that he said there was no problem in.

    We were looking at getting other work done. And I had already had TVA come out to do a energy survey, and they had already told us that there was a low flow back there. Then, when he came out, he just said, we just needed a 6-inch duct. But it’s more like a 6-foot duct that was needed. I contacted AHS and I’m assuming they’re still investigating. With it still having a gap there, it’s still doing the same thing. We’re getting low airflow in our two bedrooms. I’m not very satisfied with the quality of providers that we’ve received over the years. We had another electrician come out, and he was fantastic. But now, the lights are kinda flickering, whereas, they were not doing that before, but all the outlets are working.

    Everything went well with the plumber that Home Shield sent out. He installed faucet. The faucets in the two bathrooms didn't work. He fixed those the first time. With the faucet in the kitchen, he wanted to replace it with what I had, but I wanted one that I could spray with and the one I had didn't, so I bought a new one. I bought a Moen and he came and fixed it. He was good. The faucet is working great and I got what I want. I was very pleased with the plumber.

    But when the air conditioning contractor came, I ended up having to pay over $1,200 on that, which surprised me. When I went out at 12 o'clock it was 72 degrees in here and I left it on, like he told me, on order, and then on cool. And when I came home, it was 84 degrees and there was no cold air coming in. It was air, but it wasn't cold. So, I looked it up online to go ahead and figure out what's already in there. I changed it to 74 degrees. I'm hoping that it's gonna work today that when that temperature gets to 74 that it's gonna kick in and get cold air. I've not had any cold air in this place since we moved. And when it gets up to 92 when you come home from work, it's not really good. But so far, I haven't had cold air.

    We wanted a home warranty. I looked through the internet a little bit and picked AHS. 75% to 80% of their contractors have been very good and very professional. We don't have any big issues. Sometimes we wondered on a couple if they were as knowledgeable as they should be but haven't had any bad experiences with them. I do the service requests online because it seems to be the fastest and easiest way to get it in there. And then, we wait for them to call us back or text us and schedule the appointment. But AHS could have a little cheaper service call because whether I have something small or big, it's $100.

    Updated on 10/11/2019: So, the company say to call them regarding my experience and review. The kept the review in convenient limbo by writing to me directly by email. When I call the number and extension for "Mariah", I get in a laboured MALE Indian Accent "fourrr treeeeee treeee fourr" " then the computer "Leave a message" BEEEEP. Well as I said Do not use and they are the worst. They know they did wrong by not getting any authorization for the work so now I will have to seek resolution through a "real" agency complaint through the State Attorney Office, and I thinks I will do some Small Claims action against them and the vendor. Stinks, but they have deep pockets and will not even try to resolve. I was told that AHS is one of the worst to pay vendors and they are remarkably "cheap". This is why you get so many sub par contractors. The good ones cannot afford the rates AHS will pay I guess.

    Original review: My air conditioning units are almost 20 years old. Every 6 months there is some form of failure, and usually with my $68 a month premium and $50 per trip deductible they come and fix it. This summer my AC went out again and they sent vendor to look at it. The guy hangs out all day, and in the end when he sums up says the unit is too old, the R21 refrigerant is being phased out this year and it's so old not worth fixing. He said it needed an "?exchanger and a bunch of other parts" and said "I don't even touch stuff this old". He then says "I'm going to get you a new unit" I said "HAHAHA NO WAY AHS NEVER REPLACES ANYTHING - it's repair till doomsday and band aid whenever possible. He says "Well I don't even work on junk this old, it's a dinosaur, I promise i'll get it, and I've got them before to cover t"...so off he goes.....

    Weeks go by - no contact from anyone. I check the web site and it says "Parts ordered". A few days later I call AHS and the phone said I have to call the vendor. Left a couple messages with the local repair. No answer or return call. (Going on 4-5 weeks no AC, South Carolina, Summer.) Call the AHS again and get "Call center" in india or similar and a lady speaking in mediocre english following a strict phone scrip and Cust service flowchart takes my message that:

    1) I want to know WHAT was ordered
    2) What will be fixed

    3) And mostly WHEN

    "Let me call the vendor and check". 20 mins on hold and nothing...She comes on and says "no one answered but we will let you know and call you back". About 10 days later on a Friday I get a call from the vendor wanting to schedule "installation" on Tuesday. I said fine. They come tuesday to replace the exchange unit only. Not the AC - just a major part. Ok I dont care almost 2 months of 100 degree weather with all the issues on my house from the heat and humidity as long as it was fixed I'm good. So they come and took 2 days to install. Also SEVERAL TIMES I asked for a duct work estimate that no one wanted to give or touch. AHS loves for you to hit them with a $50 every issue even if it's semi related. Never got that quote... Anyway, the guy gets done with it and said "Ok how do you want to cover the non covered portion?" I'm like the WHAT? He tells me ....."that'll be $1060.00".

    I CANT GET A TIME WHEN THEY ARE COMING - I CANT FIND OUT SQUAT ABOUT THE "PART" ORDERED AND THEY SHOW UP AND SLAP ME WITH A GRAND? Then the vendor company "LOW COUNTRY HEATING AND AIR" Boss calls and says "AHS is cheap and if you don't pay they guy doesn't get paid on and on - tells me and admits that AHS and him agreed that I have NO ESTIMATE OF FINAL REPAIR and they got no approval from me - NO APPROVAL GIVEN to do it with the price then guilted me into paying him. AHS has had 2 calls to sort this and they have violated the law with no consent from me. As a result I have had a financial strain on me to add it all up and time lost dealing with it.

    No return calls - just placation and patronizing from MR ** and Ms **, aka Jim and Debbie. Yes Im mad. Broken promises and a G bill later nothing.. I'm still going to the attorney general and the rest. I will be taking them to small claims also. I've had it. 2 yrs prior they badly repaired my fridge, came back (for another $50 and it is as bad as ever because THEY DIDN'T CHECK THE FREEZER DOOR HARDWARE and blew me off as usual. As a result I am ordering the parts and fixing it myself because they just cannot be counted on at AHS for more than basic handyman BS or for overcharging with out my permission. Would NOT recommend.

Each contractor said it was not their job. No repair, no replace and no recommendation was ever provided. At least 10 calls to somewhere outside USA to get help, disconnected multiple times, one rep. refused to connect me with escalation team or a supervisor. I was charged at least 3 times $125 service fee the same request. As of 9/29/19, I received no help from AHS and had to hire an outside contractor. They only recourse for some reimbursement and waiving excessive/overcharged service fees per contract. Has been filing complaints with BBB, Dept of Consumer Affairs and Atty. Generals Office.

    My AC wasn’t blowing any cold air and the toilet was leaking. A tech came out for the AC and tried to rip me off by telling me I needed to replace the unit. He was somebody that I contacted because I was desperate at the time. But when I submitted a claim with AHS and they sent out their contractor, it turned out that all that had to be done was to flip the breaker switch. So, I’m glad that this guy came in because it saved me about $6,000.

    The tech who came for the toilet did a good job, too. He had a part replaced which took about a week to order. Then we had a few more days to reschedule for him to come out and put that in because I work in Odessa and I live in Midland, so Friday afternoon is the only day I can have a contractor come because of my job. But that worked out fine. He was in and out within a half an hour or so. Other than that, I submitted my claims online and the process was very easy. And since the repairs, the performances of the AC and toilet have been very reliable.

    My AC has gone out twice. The first time, the issue was the coil upstairs. AHS's contractor, Climate Express came out and had to order a part. It got in pretty quickly and they were on the job the next week. The second time the AC went out, there were some wires outside that were too close to a capacitor and they were getting hot. The tech from Climate Express was really good. He went upstairs first to make sure there was no water in the pan. When he came back down, he went outside and he could hear that the compressor wasn’t running. He recognized the issue right away and lengthened the wires. The AC has been fine ever since.

    We tried to change the filter on the refrigerator. It’s at the bottom of the refrigerator, and the filter did not go in. And then all of a sudden, it started to leak. Water was coming out of the filter area. So the refrigerator was pulled out of the wall, and the shut off valve was turned off. But I noticed that water started leaking again. I called American Home Shield, and they scheduled the appliance guy to come and fix the filter area since there was a part that was broken.

    The appliance guy told me to go ahead and call the plumber because they couldn’t fix it until the plumber was called. So, I called American Home Shield, and they said they would get a plumber over. The rep was very efficient, and she called the plumber. He was here within about two hours. So, that was very efficient. I appreciated that a lot because once he fixed that, the leaking stopped. They had to replace the shut off valve for the water.

    Both of the plumbing and appliance contractors were extremely professional and very efficient. I wasn’t happy that I had to wait another day to get the refrigerator fixed because it was sitting in the middle of my kitchen. But the plumber came right away, which I really appreciated.

The first time I tried to submit a claim, I did it over the phone and I was told that I didn’t have coverage on my AC units at all, which I knew was not true. The rep wouldn’t let me talk to somebody else, so I ended up hanging up, then calling back and getting someone else.

    And since then, I just do it online, because I don’t like talking to people. It's great because I work in risk management. I spend all day on the phone at work. My job is to collect on property damage claims for a major truck stop company. So, when people run over our stuff, it’s my job to collect so I spend all day talking to insurance agents on the phone. So if AHS has a way to report something online, I’d do it online.

    For my recent claim, Anthony’s TV & Appliance took a couple of days to come out, but that’s understandable since they’re probably the only appliance repair company that AHS uses in the area.

    The toilets weren’t flushing and it was on a holiday weekend, but the contractor of AHS came out on a holiday. It took the contractor a while but he stuck to it until he got it figured out. It turned out the septic system wasn’t working correctly. It was because it got clogged up with a plastic cover. The toilets are doing fine since the repair.

    I'm glad I'm using American Home Shield. I used it in two previous homes and always had a good experience with them. When I let them know that I had a broken hot water heater, everything turned out wonderfully from the representative, the timing, and the contractor Advanced Plumbing. The contractor called quickly to arrange an appointment. They came on time and they did everything in a timely manner. They told us what was going on and took care of everything.

    When we bought our lake house, we put it on American Home Shield. We had an issue with our water heater and submitted a claim for that. Ray Stovall Plumbing was Johnny-on-the-spot with calling me back and they came out. When we left our lake home at 1:00 on a Thursday, they were working. When I went back on Sunday, the door to the attic was not closed. I realized that however they fixed the water heater, I realized that however they did it, there was a valve sticking out so the attic won't close.

    I called Ray Stovall back and I told the rep that was gonna have to be fixed. They’ve billed my credit card $1,300 for the additional and the gentleman was supposed to come the previous Thursday but didn't show. He told me he would be at our lake house at 3:00 and we live far away from where that house is. So, we had to make plans and get someone there. I had a painter there whom I told to stay until the guy from Ray Stovall comes. I told the painter that the guy would be at the property at 3:00. At 4:00 the painter called me and told me that the guy hasn't come and that he needed to get on the road.

    I called Ray Stovall and the guy told me he was still busy on another job. That didn't work out that day. So, when I called and let the people in New Orleans know of the issue, they were very nice an said that they will book an appointment and that the tech would come the following Wednesday to fix issue. Every time this happens, we're driving an hour one way to the lake house and another hour back home. Despite this issue, AHS has always been really good about the service they render and taking care of the problem I have. I've been very pleased with them.

    American Home Shield has been pretty good. I've been with them for four months and I called them for my second claim when my AC wasn't cooling and it had been two weeks. I made my claim online then I talked to a person about it afterwards. The rep was very good. Home Service Corporation was really quick and was here the next day or the day after that. The technician was excellent. He really knew his stuff. He came out and diagnosed the problem. He then had to come back because he had to schedule it for two to four hours of repair time because he had to go somewhere else. He came back a couple of days later and he fixed the AC. He spent the time and explained what he was doing. There was a frozen valve in there and he had to take that all apart, unseal it, and get it working again.

    Timeframe-wise, it was fine. I know sometimes you can't fix it on your first visit out because you have to go get parts and you have to schedule enough time to do it. This second claim happened because of my first claim with American Home Shield. The first one was a furnace issue and when the guy came out, he saw that there was the issue with the air conditioner so he told me to file another claim with the home warranty company and they'll have to come out and fix that.

    We are still in the process of figuring out what else we need to do with the HVAC stuff, and the contractor AHS sent, Island Breeze, have been really helpful. They've done pretty good. But we had an issue with the contract renewal with AHS. We were under the impression that when you sign a contract with them, you are in that contract for a year.

    We were about to move back into the house. The time frame when the contract was supposed to be renewed was May. We weren't gonna be in the house until July. And so, we said, "Well, we're not gonna renew it, necessarily." We found out later that it doesn't matter. You can just cancel it whenever you want but it was a huge pain. Have we known that, we would have not wanted to cancel it. It was very poor communication on their end when it came to dealing with that. Our whole thing was canceled. I think part of that was because the person we were talking to didn't understand how the process worked. It essentially caused us to have a one month gap in coverage and then we had to essentially redo the whole thing to get a new plan. But we're fine now. We got it resolved. I continue to recommend AHS to other people.

    I've been with American Home Shield for 14 years now and I’ve had more awful experiences than I’ve had good. It has something to do with the shoddy people that come out. When it comes right down to it, American Home Shield is the one that’s responsible for getting the contracts with these people. In a recent claim for my AC, I probably talked to AHS at least 15 times about the issues. The first company they assigned, Elite Heating and Air, wouldn’t show up or they’d say they’d be anywhere from 10:00 to 2:00. And then they call at 5:00 and say, “Hey, we’re at the house.” What part of 5:00 is anywhere close to between 10:00 and 2:00? There were no updates, no explanation, and they didn’t take the time. Then they said, “I thought everything’s working.” Like, “No, everything is not working.” If I turn it on, it is working technically but it takes 3 minutes to get going.

    The property manager has been dealing with the issue for 3 weeks and Elite wouldn’t get back. So finally, she gave up and gave it to me. When I got involved, it took over two and a half weeks working with the company to get them here. And then they lied too. They said, “Oh, we’ve only been there twice,” which was crap. They’ve been here six times to look at the stuff, and not once did they explain what was going on or why it took 3 minutes to get the AC going. That 3 minutes is important because if it takes that long to get going then it probably needed to be serviced. It wouldn't have been a problem if it worked efficiently. The system is old and needed to be replaced. They just left and said, “Yeah, it wasn’t working.”

    Then, Southern Air Conditioning and Heating was sent and they took the time. They called and met us when they said they were gonna meet us and coordinated like, “Hey, we can’t be there for another 15 minutes.” “No problem.” They kept in touch with us and they squared their way. The day when we got the call that they’re coming, I was at our property manager and they were like, “Hey, don’t worry about it. We’ll adjust as needed if you can’t get there right away.” They were fantastic. They did good and did all the things that they were supposed to do. They talked to the property manager and also explained what was going on with the system where the other company didn’t do it. I would recommend Southern.

    American Home Shield sent Oak Valley Appliance for my microwave that quit working. There was no power to it, and then the burners on my stove were not working right. They were leaving black soot on our pots. The issue was a fuse was blown in the microwave. And then on the stove, it wasn’t covered under warranty because it was a manufacturer’s thing. It wasn’t set up for propane. So, I paid cash for that.

    I filed the claim for the microwave over the phone, and I had good interaction with the claims representative. It was on a Friday, so the contractor came out the following week. He had to come back out for the microwave. It did the same thing again. He came out and checked it and said it might have been a bad fuse, but he took care of it right away. It’s a little glass fuse. It was working when he left, but all of a sudden, it stopped working again. He made a recommendation just in case, and we’ve done it, and nothing’s happened since then.

    I’ve also used AHS one other time before that, and it was for my dryer, and things were done right. The contractors came out and they had to order the part on my dryer. It was in the morning, so that next day they had the part, and they came out and fixed it. AHS could change their automated system though. You try to put in your thing, and you have to call and call to get a hold of somebody and tell them, “Listen, that wasn’t the only thing I was calling about. I was calling about my burner.” And I had to let them know that there were two things wrong but I couldn’t do it. You can’t do it when you’re doing it on the internet. It took some running around to get both of my issues put on there. They need to do something about the way you report something. It’d be better if they had an operator instead of automated system. If you actually talked to a person, it’d be better. Other than that, I’m happy with the service.

    I bought an older home and bought the Home Shield policy to cover anything that came up in the first year. But I found out that it didn't cover an icemaker that was separate from a refrigerator. Then, they were calling and asking me if I wanted to renew in September. During that transitional period, my air conditioner went out. I got somebody to look at it and they told me what was wrong. I asked the person who was selling me the policy if they will cover the air conditioning problem. She said they will send people out and that it'll be covered. So I told her that I'll renew my policy. It was an $8,000 repair and I was getting ready to pay $2,000 for my renewal so it seemed like a good deal.

    As it turned out, the repair was gonna run about $3,000 and it wasn't what I wanted to do with my air conditioner. Of the $3,000 AHS was only gonna pay 600 and I had to pay for all the rest so that wasn't a good deal. What irritated me was when I called back to cancel the policy, I got some girl on there who was not helpful and kept questioning and badgering me about canceling the policy. She wouldn't give up. She was going down her spiel and that irritated me. When I told her I need to cancel it, she said she would have somebody call me back within 24 hours but I never heard from anybody. I called them back and the lady that I talked to the second time was better. But she was trying to ask me why I was canceling and wanted to know what the work was. Although I'm not mad, I felt it was misrepresented to me what the policy covered. Then they couldn't respect me when I wanted to end the policy.

Then they called around diligently worked to see if they could squeeze somebody in.

So, there are some things in there that you’d like to know before hand if it’s gonna be covered or not. The AHS contractors have always been really good. They’re very professional and very courteous. Jesse came out for the water heater. He’s very good and he was able to fix the issue within the same day. The water heater is working really good now.

    Placed work order in June. They keep sending unqualified technicians to fix AC ductwork. Problem was never fixed, nothing has been done (not even a screw touched). Had to spend entire summer in terrible heat. Now AHS keeps sending me a bill for $100 even though they accepted to absorb the fee several times. And still, the problem remains. This is a joke. Stay away at all costs.

    Had an American Home Shield contractor come out on 9/18 due to a.c. not cooling. The owner of the a.c. company said we needed a complete new system and that American Home Shield would not pay for it. He then quoted me $9500.00 for a new unit and charged $500.00 to add Freon for the system to get us through through a couple of days. I called American Home Shield on 9/21 and was told the contractor had not sent in the detailed work order required to determine coverage. I told the representative that I had a quote from another company for $7450.00 for the same unit quoted at $9500.00. I received a message from AHS on 9/23 stating they had contacted the contractor that morning to request documentation.

    I called AHS on 9/27 and they still had not received the detailed work order from contractor. I was forced to pay out of pocket for a new unit due to contractor delay in turning in paperwork, which he probably didn't do because he told me AHS was not responsible and he had already quoted me foe a new unit. AHS customer service refuses to discuss a cash reimbursement in this matter which my contract states they have an option to do. The unfortunate thing is we have had AHS since we built our house in 1998. Not good customer service. I give them 1 star on this because it is required.

    What do you call a chaotic, unprofessional disorganization with no customer service abilities of any kind and a poor track record when it comes to providing properly vetted, skilled or simply adequate service professionals? I know them as American Home Shield (AHS). Why do I say this about AHS? My opinion of them has changed drastically over time. When I first entered into contract with AHS, they were relatively good, providing a stream of quality field workers to address a variety of household issues. However, slowly over time, I not only noticed a drop in the quality of these field agents and their respective companies but also a decline in customer service dexterity and outreach from AHS as well.

    I have a growing list of companies that I informed AHS not to send to my home again due to shoddy work, unreliability or just sheer incompetence on their part. It's to the point now where I am wondering if AHS vets these companies at all. Due to my experiences, I am of the opinion that they don't really check. I mean, can anyone with a truck and a tool box be a service provider for AHS, I wonder. When AHS chooses to use subcontractors of this type, that's what they are exposing you to.

    My latest case involves my intermittent refrigerator leak which occurred at unpredictable times over an indeterminate number of days. To reduce the amount of evidentiary wood damage from the leaks, I shut off the water. American Home Shield selected Amtec to handle the evaluation and repair. I explained all of this to the field technician during the visit. The tech replied, "I'm just going to replace everything in the ice-maker." I asked, wouldn't a better approach be to find the cause of the leak? He said, "rather than trying to find out what was wrong, it's easier to replace everything." I then asked, what happens if it starts leaking again? He assured me that it wouldn't.

    Well, a few days later, the refrigerator began leaking and actually damaged my wooden kitchen floor. When I called AHS, the representative informed me that Amtec was going to send a "senior technician who would assess the damage" and respond appropriately. That was the spin, crafted and designed to get me off the phone. The reality was that this so-called "senior tech" turned out to be the same guy who missed the cause of the leak roughly 10 days ago during his first visit. He almost missed it again this time too because he spent about 6 minutes trying to convince me that the fridge was not leaking. Of course, evidence of a leak was on the flooring all around the refrigerator. The tech was about to leave as I was further explaining things to him but then decided to check again finally locating the problem. Of course, it was the refrigerator, duh.

    When I began discussing the floor damage, with this tech, he stated, and these are his own words, "I don't know anything about that, or being a senior technician, I just fix things." Over the last couple years, I can't tell you the number of times I have substandard, penny ante operators stop by here to fix something only to leave me disappointed by some aspect of their visit ranging from an incomplete or botched job to charging a fee when none was warranted. As this relates to or reflects on AHS, I have noticed that even the simple act of trying to reach them by phone can be an exercise in futility. The phone just rings and rings.

    One time, I had to go online to request that service visit. All I can say is that if you are considering AHS, I'd strongly advice against it. In this competitive economy, there are more than a few alternatives. With a little bit of research and due diligence I am sure you can do better than AHS. If you don't you run the risk of being exposed to some substandard subcontractor with the potential to make your situation a whole lot worse than it was before their visit. Take it from someone who's been there. My advice for everyone is to go online, do your research, and take the reviews of such referring organizations into account before signing up and subsequently allowing them to sent some substandard subcontractor into your home who may make matters worse.

    I had a problem with my AC unit. AHS later sent Cecil and Sons and I was very happy with them. The two vendors that AHS sent prior, one was belligerent, and the other one was trying to charge us for things that weren't necessary. It wasn't the matter of repair, it was more trying to determine what was the issue. This claim has been going on for a month and a half.

    I was not pleased with the way that American Home Shield handled it 'cause I had to write letters, called multiple times just to get them to do something that should have been done initially which was a leak test. When the first vendor came out, we had issues with him. He said it needed to be done and I said if a leak test needed to be done, he had to go back to American Home Shield and ask authorization. He got mad. He said that he didn't have to ask from AHS and that he could do it. We had a verbal altercation so that was the end of that. The claim has been going on for a month and a half now and I'm waiting on a follow-up call from Cecil and Sons regarding an upgrade program from American Home Shield.

The washer had to be repaired 'cause there was rust falling into the washing machine as the clothes washed. But the contractor deemed it to be replaced 'cause it was unsafe. American Home Shield made it very easy to choose something similar to what I had, which was fine with me as I just need clean clothes. And it was awesome that I was able to go through that.

It happened on a Friday, so we had the weekend but they were very good about getting somebody out here just as soon as they could get a hold of them. They even offered to reimburse me if I could find somebody before they did. Edmundson Mechanical Services came out. They’re a very good company. They also put in my air units, and they were really good about trying to take care of our needs. They came out three different times until they got everything taken care of.

    I had leaky parts in the basement and a bad shutoff valve on one of my water lines. I filed the claim to American Home Shield over the phone and the rep was kinda slow. We had a problem understanding each other. It sounded foreign and seemed to take a lot longer than I thought, but we got through it. Wind Bender Mechanical Services came out. We had them come to our house before for another problem we had a while back. The guy was really nice and knowledgeable. He came in, took pictures of the problem, told me he'd get back with me when they would send in the pictures and make sure everything was authorized so they could send out and get the parts. Then they got back with me to schedule and came in and put the parts in. It's been doing great.

    Whenever it's completed, I realize we had another problem that they could have dealt with. Right by where the guy stopped the leak, the shutoff valve leaks outside a little. I know the outside's not covered, but I can't get to close the shutoff valve inside that shuts off the water to the outside spigot, it still drips a little bit outside. It's too late and I'm not gonna put in another claim for one of them.

There were a couple of claims that I had filed regarding their work and I needed to follow up with AHS on one because AHS denied one claim.

    With American Home Shield, I like not getting a giant bill when something breaks. I have a deductible, and I pay the premiums, but it offers some expense stability. So, I like that feature of home warranties in general. I realized quite a few years ago that when we had an appliance replaced, AHS is paying a lot less for those appliances than I was paying. So, it occurred to me that unlike people will say of insurance companies is that I could actually save money, and AHS could actually make some money at the same time because they're paying less for the services since they're bundling volume through the service provider. And especially that I have two homes now with a home warranty. I don’t live in the other home, and I don’t have time to deal with it. So, when something breaks, I have one number to call, they’ll send somebody out and I don’t have to have a guy that does everything or have 10 guys to get everything done.

    So, to me, it offers some measure of convenience, and I feel that I’ve more or less gotten good value out of it over the years especially on our old house where we’re not really looking to upgrade appliances. We’re renting it. I’m not gonna put in something super fancy that orders milk for me from the fridge or whatever when I take it out. I’m not gonna buy any top-end stuff. So, what AHS offers as a basic replacement model is what I would buy. In that case, it works out really well. I just like having some stability, so I don’t get stuck with, “Oh, this broke. Here’s a giant bill.” When we went without a warranty for a while, I’ve had service providers just blatantly try to rip me off, and I didn’t care for that.

    The only thing is it takes a really long time to get ahold of somebody at the claims department, even with a callback. And I told the AHS guy, “So, I signed up for give me a callback when you’re ready to talk so I don’t have to be on hold.” The system called me back right away, and then left me on hold for 40 minutes twice. Someone wasn’t really there to call me back, which is kinda the point of getting a callback.

    I had a stoppage in my condensation drain on my AC in the house and the water was backing up in the drain area. When I filed the claim online, I had to play a little bit with their website to file my specific need. I just put it on the plumbing or AC since I didn’t know which one will do. The contractor that came was decent and went right into it. I showed him what I needed to have looked at. He explained and gave me some pointers on how to prevent that from happening again like putting bleach in the drain to keep it clean and smooth. With the weather being warm here earlier, the AC unit was running almost 24-7 which caused the problem. It hadn’t been snaked in about three years. Since the repair, I’ve checked on it a couple of times and everything’s running smoothly. But the temperature has dropped now so the AC is not coming on as much. But so far, I’m satisfied with AHS.

    Our AC unit needed Freon and because it was an old unit, it was gonna cost us $1,000 to have the Freon replaced. We didn't wanna pay and invest $1,000 in a unit that’s 15 years old, with no guarantee. It could have the same problem in six months, so we wanted to get it replaced. And to replace it, we only wound up with a $500 cash-in-lieu. It was repairable in AHS's eyes but not replaceable. But to us, it really wasn't repairable. We paid $4,000 to have it replaced. So that wasn't a great experience.

    In contrast, we did have a claim for a range and it was a great experience. A couple of the burners on the top were not turning on. The tech came out the same day we submitted the claim. He showed up when he said he was gonna be there. He did the service and followed up with us.

    We switched from 2-10 to American Home Shield and we have had nothing but bad experiences with AHS. Last year, it took AHS six months to fix an air conditioning problem because they refused to accept the contractor they chose did not know how to do their jobs. They misdiagnosed the problem several times and finally got the problem fixed after nearly an entire summer of no air conditioning. And we live in GA. It was not comfortable. This year, same issue. The contractor misdiagnosed the problem. Charged us for Freon we did not need in the wrong system. We are currently going through a situation involving a refrigerator. One that is only two years old and one that they themselves installed. Apparently, the lines were not hooked up right which caused a slow leak; of once again, Freon. We will have to pay for that Freon. We are in week two, still no refrigerator.

    The first technician was not certified to do a test, a test they had to call AHS to get permission to perform. It will be a week until the next appointment. Once this problem is solved, I will be ditching AHS and going with another company. They do not do their jobs and any money you pay them means nothing if you have to pay for every little thing the company does to you. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    Rapp’s Heating and AC came out for our plumbing issue. It went perfectly with this claim. The contractor was very professional. Other than putting the little things on their feet like some people do, he came in, I took him to the kitchen, he opened the cabinet, told me what he thought it was, and then, told me that he was gonna run a test and that I could watch the test so I could feel better about it not leaking anymore. He ran the test in front of me then he asked me if I was gonna have the bottom fixed, and I said I was gonna have to. He said it would take a while to dry and that he knows a company that does this, if I wanted his card. I said that would be great.

    I love American Home Shield. I’ve had them for three years. When submitting claims, I prefer to call and actually speak with someone. My interactions with them are always very nice. I’ve never had a person give me an attitude. Even when I called, and I was really upset because something was going on, I’ve never, ever had an issue with them. I recommend them to family and friends. I’ve recommended them to two friends. One of them had AHS for a year, and the other one for a year, but they didn't continue it. I’m keeping AHS. Every time I call about something, they're right there.

    I typically do claims with American Home Shield online and most of the time, it’s straightforward. It gives me a timeframe of when the contractor is gonna contact me. One time, a few years ago, I had some issues with the website but now it’s fine. I’ve had Lake Plumbing out a few times and my interaction with them is excellent every time. I've had them out to unclog an upstairs toilet and fix an underspout under the sink. This time, it wasn’t a big issue. The dishwasher was broken in the off position so we didn’t have our dishwasher until they set up to fix it. But the guy fixed it in 20 minutes. He was in and out of here.

    I had a callback on September 6 for a claim that I filed through American Home Shield and AAA All Brands Appliance came out. The gentleman informed me that there was a leak on the unit outside and he replaced the teeny tiny valve that's probably no bigger than a dime, and he put 3 pounds of Freon in it then said I was fine. I have two units and this and it's the upstairs unit. The same upstairs unit that was not cooling back on September 6 was not cooling again. AAA All Brands came out again because it was within 30 days and the technician informed me that the coil inside the air handler inside the house had three leaks in it. I'm guessing that those three leaks did not happen in 18 days. He was supposedly going to file a report with American Home Shield probably Wednesday because it was 4:30 when he left my house on Wednesday.

    I called American Home Shield today and they informed me that AAA All Brands had not filed the report with them yet and that they would not authorize the repair until they got that report back. I've been trying all day today to contact AAA All Brands. I talked to someone this morning. She said that the dispatch had sent the report. But I said no they did not because I just talked to American Home Shield and they didn't have it. She proceeded to tell me that they will try again later this afternoon. I told her that wasn't acceptable because it's currently 82 degrees in my upstairs in my house. It's been that way all week. At this rate, it's gonna be another week before the part gets ordered and installed.

    American Home Shield still doesn't have the report and I don't know how to get the report to them because I can't get a hold of the company because conveniently, their phones are down now. Needless to say that I'm a little upset is an understatement. I'm pretty sure if he would have checked inside on the 6th, we wouldn't be in this position today. American Home Shield can't help it and I don't have a problem with them because I know that there's a process. They can't do that process if their vendor doesn't give them the stuff that they need to do that process with. I'm a little ticked off at the vendor.

    My husband will be home today from being out of town all week and he won't have it. All of our bedrooms are upstairs. I live in Orlando. It's 80 something. Thankfully, it is cooling down here at night so that the unit isn't running all night long. It's trying to keep up and it does shut off eventually. My husband said we just have the vendor get the part. But I told him that was not the point. They can't get the part because American Home Shield has to order the part. They can't order the part without getting a report from the vendor. I called the number for AAA All Brands and it's rolling to their Coral Springs, Florida office. The girl that answered the phone was nice enough to send an email to the Orlando office to let them know that I needed that report filed in order for them to finish the claim. I'm hoping that her email is getting addressed.

    This is the third time that AAA All Brands had been to my house so they know the deal and they know how it works. But I can't get anywhere because one says they send it and the other one says they don't have it. I can't find out and I'm just at my wit's end for the day. It's rolling into the weekend so nothing can happen this weekend. The claim is still open claim with American Home Shield.

    Our AC unit was not working. Reep’s Air and Refrigeration came out last year to check it, and added Freon to it. But that didn’t fix the problem. The Freon was leaking out. At that time, we really didn’t have the money to get a new unit and American Home Shield only paid $1,500. I thought they would pay more, but I had to pay out of pocket. Also, we’ve only had the AHS home warranty last year, but the initial monthly cost went up $10 on me.

    We just saved enough and now, we got a new unit. Reep's got it replaced in the first visit. But the rep came back the next day and blew some lines out. He said it was a preventative thing because there were already lines there. He just wanted to make sure there weren’t any trash on anything in the line. With how air conditioner works, it pulls air one way for air and the other way for heat. So, before I can use my heat, they’re gonna have to come back and reverse that. We got a cool house now.

    I called on a Wednesday to file a claim for my air conditioning. The guy from Climate Control was here on Thursday. He said that I needed Freon, but I told him that I wouldn’t bother now until spring since we’re going to turn the AC off soon. I don't know if American Home Shield pays that or that's on me. He said that I would be responsible. Overall, I would recommend AHS.

    We went out of air conditioning and the next day, the contractor was out. It was great in a 99-degree weather. A guy came out, lickety-split, and said, “Put a condenser in.” Then said, “Okay, you’re good to go.” But then, the next day, it was the same thing so we called American Home Shield again and they sent out the same company again. It was a different guy. He looked over more thoroughly and told us something else to do. He was really professional and we liked him a lot. It went well after the second time and we’re happy.
