    American Home Shield has been pretty fair. There were two incidents over all these years. One was the sump pump, and they didn’t replace or fix it because the water from the air conditioner drips in it. And if the water from the air conditioner drips in it then they won’t really service it or won’t change it. And the other incident was the garage door. Boy, oh, boy. They cover one part of it but not the other. But the door can open without the opener. I think what they cover is maybe the door itself, not actually the actual device, or vice versa. I can’t remember now. But I remember I was disappointed in that, but still. Those were the only two. Everything else is just great.

    The gentleman from ATR General that came was polite and knew what he was doing. He tried to fix it first and then he saw that it could not be fixed. I just went and got another one, then he put it in. He’s good and seemed to be a decent guy. I felt comfortable with him in here by myself. Otherwise, some of them I do, some I don’t. But the guy was a very nice young man, very polite and very professional, all about what he was supposed to do. That’s all I asked for.

    We've had our American Home Shield coverage on this particular home since June when we closed. We've used American Home Shield in the past though. Our most recent claim was on the AC. Quality Services came out for it and they were okay. Nothing was poor in regards to the service that we got. When I spoke with one gentleman, he was very abrupt. The second gentleman that came out kind of explained to me what the problem was and told me what he was gonna do, which were fantastic. But, all of a sudden, I get a call saying, "Okay, we're ready to install stuff in your house." I didn't know they were coming out to install things.

    They said they were gonna turn things in and see what was up. Also, they didn't tell me it was gonna cost me $1,200. Nobody told me what it was gonna cost me until I said, "Well, is this gonna cost me anything?" The rep said it's $2,500, and I went, "Time out." The system is technically fine. And in all fairness, they were very prompt, very on top of things, and I didn't have to wait. So in that regard, they were great. Our experience has been pretty much smooth sailing.

    It was really easy submitting a claim with American Home Shield for my hot water heater online. We had a problem with something under the house back in spring, and it was the same guys that came. They did a good job even though we had to pay some additional because some kind of pipeline. Now, the hot water heater's working fine. Also, the rate's going up a little bit this year, but that’s ‘cause everything is a year older. We just started using AHS last November when my sister and I bought this house as a vacation place and so far, we're happy with them.

    The electrician came and changed the breaker from a 20-amp breaker to a 30, and then, 7-H came out and repaired the dryer, and it has worked perfectly ever since. They did two visits. So, they came out, figured it out what was what and ordered the part. They came back and installed the part. It took a couple days. I submitted this claim over the phone and the representative was decent. American Home Shield, as well as the contractors did exactly what they were hired to do and did a good job.

    American Home Shield's stuff seemed to be better in this neighborhood that I live in. I've been with them for almost a year and submitting a claim has always been excellent. I’ve never had an issue with them and I’ve used them quite a bit. I do my claims mostly over the phone. I’ve done it online as well. On my most recent claim, my experience has been good.

    The previous owner of the house had used American Home Shield and had very high recommendations for them, so I thought I would give them a try also. I'm about a year with them now and we're getting ready to renew our policy. The last people that came out was K & S Plumbing and they were here within a day. The contractor solved the problem and left. He was very professional and knew exactly what he was doing and how to fix the problem. I normally submit claims over the phone and the representative has been very good. They take all the information, and I get an email shortly thereafter saying that they've contacted this vendor, and they would be coming out to take care of the problem.

The first time the contractor came out, they said that it had a clogged line and they flushed it but then, it wasn’t cooling again. I had to have them come back out two times because it still was not cooling properly but it’s working okay for now. They were very professional but they didn’t know what was going on.

    I filed a claim to AHS because the panel on the microwave stopped working, so I was not able to use it. I submitted the claim online and the process was very simple. The contractor that came was efficient. I put the request in on a Friday, he was here on Monday, and it was all five minutes he determined that the part was no longer available, and so he recommended a replacement, not a repair. I ended up calling AHS to get an update on the claim, and we talked through the process and the rep recommended some options. I was also doing my research on the side, and then I was able to quickly pick my option and the process to get the microwave very fast. They sent a whole new microwave and the contractors installed it and that was also a very efficient process.

    It ended up working out, but with American Home Shield and GE, I've had this issue before. I put the claim with American Home Shield, and then I had to wait for GE to call me back. So, GE called me back and then they were like, “Hey, we have somebody coming on on Monday.” There was like some dead space between American Home Shield and GE. So, it's probably more on GE than American Home Shield, but maybe AHS should set some expectations upfront, like, “Someone from GE will be in contact with you.”

    We had American Home Shield years ago and then we moved into this house and we also got the warranty. Their people were really nice but we have some issues because United Air Temp didn't find the gas leak. The company that we've been dealing with that installed an air conditioning unit is Snell and they had electronic sniffers. They could still smell the gas and they know where it's coming from. But United couldn't find it. And apparently, the United tech patched up where the leak was with some paste, and Snell told me that it was not a good way to fix it and it is really dangerous. The guy from United seemed like he was a nice guy and he seemed to know what he was talking about. But putting a little bit of soapy water in the valve is a safety issue. We don’t need our house blowing up.

    Snell sent out two technicians to check this out because they also wanna check on their own people to make sure they're not doing anything erroneous. But they said they could smell the gas and the other company couldn't even smell it. Let alone have the electronic gear. The first company couldn't even come out for a day or two, and then another company, we’re waiting for somebody. I'm not thrilled with this because when we come back next Tuesday, we've got company coming in on Thursday. They're staying in the bedroom in our basement, which is where that heating unit is.

    We’ve been in communication with American Home Shield, but it’s just not happening. It’s really cumbersome and there isn't a lot of flexibility. It’s really an inconvenience and having another company, a third company, come out again. And we don’t know who this company is. I was looking at the reviews of this company that’s coming out and they're kinda really mixed. We’d rather go through the company we’re dealing with. They're well-rated and they're stable in our area. Also the fact that they won’t let us just go ahead and do this repair particularly after they provided a visual. And they’ve got a sniffer that lights up when there's gas.

    The icemaker wasn’t making ice. I spoke with representatives at AHS to file a claim and they were horrendous. They were from another country, they didn’t understand and I didn’t like dealing with them. But the contractor who came out was good. He came three times, though it wasn’t his fault. When he came, he had the part that he thought he needed to resolve the problem, but it turned out that the icemaker still wasn’t making ice. So we had to call them again. Things didn't go smoothly, but that was fine and the icemaker has been working since the service.

    We also had an experience with the washer and dryer. The washing machine would stop at increments or seven minutes. But normally, it would stop at 28 minutes. It would get stuck there for 10 or 15 minutes and would just keep going back and forth, but it would not move past that. So, we called someone and he came and said that that was normal. But I didn’t believe that was normal because a 45 minute wash cycle shouldn’t take an hour and a half. Unfortunately, I had to accept that at that time.

    Then a few weeks later, it happened again and he came back. He again said that it was normal for this kind of washing machine. At the time, I had a contact person for a little while. I called them and they sent out an independent person who didn’t know why they were coming out again. And I had the same problem but no one was willing to fix it. They were never gonna order a new motherboard or something because it’s all electronic and computerized But lo and behold, I had to buy a new washer and dryer and AHS only gave me $200. I have no idea how they arrived at that but that’s not my area of expertise and I didn’t know how to argue. But I spent almost 1,600 for a new washer and dryer. Other than that, we had a problem as well with the air conditioning and they didn’t call us back until five days later.

    American Home Shield has a call center in another country, which is fine, but my wife and I are hard of hearing, and it was kinda hard for us. They have a certain tone that we don’t hear that well. I found a more direct number and got ahold of a representative that I could understand better. The first contractor that came out for the air conditioner didn't have the tools and AHS called out somebody else. The second people, Efficient Air, diagnosed it right away. They said they had to go through AHS in order to get the part because it was a blower motor. It wasn’t an easy fix. It involved a part that they had to order and once that got going, it was all right. They put in a new motor so the air conditioner is working. They answered all my questions and they explained things. I was happy with them.

    Getting used to the process, I thought if your air conditioner went out and you were dealing with a 90-degree weather, AHS would have expedited it. I found out that they don’t do that but they did a good job once they understood everything and did it. The only question I have for AHS is if I can request a more preferred contractor. There are people who are better starting out and there are people that are smaller. Efficient Air was a lot more equipped than the first contractor. That woulda cut three days off of not having an air conditioner.

When they came out, they were competent and polite. They were in and out quick. But I had a less than pleasant experience with the last claim that I had. My refrigerator went out and they sent a service technician out relatively quickly, but he determined it was gonna need special-order parts, and it was gonna take several weeks to get the parts and we needed another technician out.

    I went on to the website, and I chatted with somebody about the claim, and asked them if I could just buy new appliance, and then have them reimburse me for whatever they’d pay for repairs. And the person on the chat said that was fine. But when I went and bought the new appliance and submitted it for reimbursement, they denied it because it wasn’t approved. They directed me to whatever their official dispute process was. But they denied it, and I never got any reimbursement for the appliance. But most of the time, American Home Shield was easy to deal with. Everything was fine except for the previous claim.

    This summer, we’ve had air conditioning issues with two separate properties, and both experiences have been horrific trying to get it repaired. AHS techs did not do a full diagnostic when they got here. AHS would send out the tech and would say, “And it might be something simple, like your capacitor’s low on voltage.” So, they'd replace the capacitor, they'd say it’s up and running, and they'd leave. And our tenants would come home and the air conditioner would not be working. So, there might be multiple issues that we just don’t know about. We’ve had technicians that have come out to one of our properties five times. They'd fix one thing, and if that starts the engine running, they'd just go on.

    Each property owner is individual, so it is totally up to them whether they'd get a home warranty that we use, or if they would like to use our maintenance guys. With AHS, I can go online and place a maintenance request, which is very convenient. I keep a credit card just to use for that, so I’ve got the billing on-site. And then they usually let us know if there’s Freon involved that we have to pay extra for. But this summer, it’s like a hundred calls to get one thing done. I’m very dissatisfied, because we’ve just gone through our busy season and we’ve gotten beaten up using American Home Shield.

    On 9/17/19, we filed a service request because our air conditioner was not cooling. We were contacted by a service representative who stated that all of the service contractors were overbooked. They could not assign a contractor to come service our unit. We were given the option to locate a service person on our own to complete the repair. We were told this process requires the service person to assess the problem and call AHS for an authorization prior to doing repairs. We spent time locating someone and meeting them for the appointment. They determined that the compressor would have to be replaced. They provided an estimate of $2585 to replace the compressor.

    We then contacted a second A/C service person who came to assess the problem. He also said the compressor needed replacing. His quote was $2700. We decided to go with the first service person -- Carson A/C. Mr ** attempted to get authorization for several hours on Friday. He kept getting transferred and placed on hold. He had to complete other service calls so gave up that day.

    On Monday, his office manager spent multiple hours calling in, providing information, and trying to get authorization. After jumping through every hoop requested by AHS, she was told that they were denying the authorization and would send someone out for a second opinion. In the meantime, the A/C has been out for a week. We live in Louisiana where temps have reached 95 degrees every day. One whole week of being miserably hot and uncomfortable. How can AHS get a second opinion when they couldn't even assign a contractor a week ago?

    On 9/23/19, we spent several hours on the phone talking to people who blatantly lied to us. We were told by a "supervisor" named Carlee that she was expediting our service request and would email someone to get authorization for Carson A/C to complete our repair. She promised she'd call back with an answer within an hour. We asked for a contact number and she gave us one. She also said she would copy us on the email she sent. We never got an email. Not only did she fail to call us back, the number that she gave us went to an entirely different call center. Lies, lies, and more lies!

    When we called back after an hour, we were told that her call center closed at 11 pm CST and there was no way to contact her. On 9/24/19, my husband called in and was transferred to escalations. They set up an appointment for someone to come give a second opinion on 9/26/2019 between 10am and 2 pm. On 9/26/19, the Total Air technician called just prior to the end of the appointment window to say that he would be late because he decided it was inconvenient for him to drive to our appointment and then return for another. I guess he feels that being without air for two weeks is not inconvenient at all. He stated he might arrive tonight between 7 and 8. I am currently on hold with AHS customer service. I've already been hung up on twice. It should not be this hard to get a company to honor their contract.

    We had American Home Shield for several years on our original home. Luckily, we never had to use them for anything more than minor home repairs. When we sold our original home and purchased another home our air conditioner stopped working in the hottest summer days in Michigan in July 2019. We were out of state and our 84 year old mother was in the home when this occurred.

    American Home Shield could not get a service provider to our home for over four-days. Thus, we elected to find our new provider and not incur the $75 service fee, pay the service provider up-front with an approved amount and then get reimbursed. Needless to say, American Home Shield has a "loop-hole" for everything so the amount you pay for the warranty will never be covered by the repairs they will approve. I would strongly encourage everyone to not pay for this home warranty and do not see it as any type of benefit when you purchase a home. Melissa **

AHS did not rectify this even after reporting them to the BBB. I have spent money over time refilling the refrigerant. I asked AHS recently to rectify this after the home inspector found the original issue; because now my home is under contract for sale.

    AHS recently sent another company to make good on the original warranty issue. After the new company sent by AHS (United Air Temp, Jacksonville Fla.) removed the coil and refrigerant, AHS told them to end the work order and left us without air conditioning for almost 2 weeks.

    Two months ago I documented a service problem I was having getting my GE gas cook top repaired. The replacement part I needed was on back order and finally arrived after a five month delay. AHS mistakenly believed that the repair had already been successfully completed and, once the part was received and its installation re-scheduled, AHS was requiring that a new work order (and its associated financial deductible) be put in place. I was obviously quite frustrated but I am happy to report that AHS subsequently waived the new fee, their customer representative was quite understanding and my gas range is now properly working once again. Thank you to AHS for your assistance in resolving my service issue.

    Original Review: Sept. 26, 2019

    In April of this year I contacted AHS regarding the repair of my GE cooktop gas range which was not burning properly. Further, it occasionally left the odor of propane gas in my kitchen. After paying my $125 fee to AHS, AHS sent a repairman to my home to examine the cooktop and he determined that the cooktop had a faulty burner valve which needed to be replaced. The repairman contacted GE to get the part and shortly thereafter I was notified that the part was on back order but would be available in several weeks. A new repair appointment was then scheduled but it had to be subsequently rescheduled because the part still had not come in from GE. This scheduling and subsequent rescheduling then occurred several more times throughout the summer and my range is still not fixed.

    Today I contacted AHS and learned that my repair order has somehow been closed and that if I want AHS to send a repair person out again to address my faulty burner valve that I need to pay another $125 since it is more than 60 days since I submitted my initial claim. I got little sympathy or understanding from the AHS customer representative. At this point I prefer to cancel my policy, get a $125 refund, and will seek a return of the monthly premiums I've been paying to AHS since April of this year. By the way, I never received a response from AHS regarding my two written letters regarding this matter.

    Lastly, since I could actually still smell gas in my kitchen back in April, I had the gas company examine my range and they discovered a leaky and faulty regulator directly below the cooktop which required immediate replacement. I paid for this emergency repair, sought reimbursement from AHS but learned today that my request was officially denied. So much for safety and security. Thank goodness there was no explosion.

    The AC was set at 74 but the house was at 80 degrees. I called American Home Shield and the representative entertained my idea of getting someone else to look at it other than the initial company who wasn’t able to resolve the issue. So I was glad to hear that. The other company, K&W, was good and on time but I didn't like that they didn't call before they came. They ended up at my door and that needs to be changed. But they got right to work as soon as they got here and did what they needed to do. They explained the problem and they wanted to know why I did not call back the company who came the first time. I told them they had come out twice but my AC was still not working. So then, the K&W technicians went out, found the coils and flushed those. Since then, the AC has been operating much better but the experience was a little frustrating and while the second company was trying to fix the problem, it was very hot in here.

    I called American Home Shield for the central air conditioning unit that was not cooling. They sent Salzman's Plumbing & Heating, and they were very friendly. They seemed conscientious. It took a couple of visits to get the unit fixed though. They said they thought they had it fixed, and then it still didn't cool. When they came out, we think we got it, but it still didn't cool. It was a third visit before they got it all fixed. Once they got it done, it has never missed a beat. I would be very happy to use them again. Overall, my experience with American Home Shield has been very satisfactory. They had one thing I wasn't all that crazy about, but no company is perfect, and they have had more than adequate follow-up and they've done everything that they said they would do.

    We had a sump pump, which ejects water from the basement so that my home does not flood, that did not function. So, water collected in the basement when we had a flood. I phoned in a claim and had a good interaction with the claims rep. Then, the contractor from BNK Plumbing came out, took a look, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it. The repair took a couple of hours because the old pump needed to be removed, then he had to find a new pump and put the new pump in. That was a very reasonable time frame and the sump pump is now excellent.

    We also had an electrician out on a different request. Because the reason why the sump pump failed was because of the outlet. So, the electrician came and he did a decent job by successfully repairing the outlet. However, he never checked to see that the breaker was on. All he needed to do was to just check to make sure that there was electricity going to the outlet that he had repaired. In effect, it was the plumber who discovered that the sump would not have worked had not the plumber followed up and found that the electricity was not going to the sump pump. So, it was not a good experience with the electrician but the plumber was a hero. Overall, I would recommend American Home Shield.

    The icemaker of my KitchenAid side-by-side freezer refrigerator had quit making ice. I called American Home Shield and I submitted the claim through the automated call. I spoke with an agent and added a dishwasher to that same call. So he gave me Herley's number and asked me to contact them and I did. Herley was great.

    The tech came out on the 10th of September and told me that he was gonna have parts ordered. He told me it would take about 10 days to 14 days out. I called them on the 24th, and he tried to call through and get through and he had to go back to work, so that ended that. So then I called, and they told me that a reorder had to be done, so that was the reason for the delay. About two or three days later, I had the parts, and they were installed. But my dishwasher still has the same issue. I contacted Herley's and they said that we're gonna have to put in another order for it. But overall, I'm satisfied at this point, and it was a great experience.

    All Out Appliance Repair came out to fix the microwave. When the guy came, he assessed it and knew what it was right away. The magnetron went bad and it was not heating so he had to order the part. He was there for about five minutes. Once the part came in, he came back out. He took down the microwave because it’s mounted then took it apart, put the new part in and showed me the old part and said everything was done. He did a good job and he made sure that everything was nice and clean when he was working. And then when he left, he cleaned up his stuff. He didn’t make a mess, he had blankets and he just folded those up. He went over with me, showed me, and verified it was working. He explained a few things to me and said if I had any problems just let him know. He fixed it in about 20 minutes and it’s working fine now.

    I’m happy with American Home Shield. I’ve got a house that is actually pretty good, but it’s getting to the point where every once in a while it needs a few things. All things are gonna break sooner or later and everybody they’ve sent has been professional. They’ve come out and we get it done, and we’re good to go. I told them I had a funeral I had to go to that day, so they made the adjustments with the time to be accommodating. And when the contractor called me that he was 45 minutes out, I was just walking out of the funeral and that I’d be home in a few minutes. They worked it out.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for close to 10 years and I like that it’s one less thing to have to budget for. More often, I do the claims over the phone, which is because the most common claim seems to be plumbing and the plumbing companies are the usually the worst. It's been a while since I've had a plumbing incident but they had some real pieces of work in the past. Literally, these people didn't know what they were doing. They would cancel on you two to three times before they finally show up. Then, they break stuff instead of fixing anything. We found out from one that he was only a week on the job and has no prior experience. He was a bartender and not a plumber so, it was no wonder he broke things.

    I’ve had several refrigerator claims and Sears was notoriously slow when AHS used them recently. It wasn’t the fault of AHS since Sears have been one of the overloaded companies lately, but if AHS is interested in them, they should have had more subcontractors to choose from locally. The contractors that sign on with them get overbooked and they couldn't make it to all their appointments. Then, the turnaround times would be blown out from two days to five days. Also, the part would be rare and then they would have to order it. They would come back two weeks later.

    If it's a refrigerator, it’s hard not having one for weeks. So, AHS would benefit themselves, for appliances, to have more to choose from. They usually have two in each trade and a lot of times, those are overbooked. Having eight would be wise. I’ve also had one or two claims for electrical and they weren’t responsive, not that timely and I ended up paying out of pocket. But the oven replacement went very nicely.

    The two people from Jet Plumbing, LLC who came to do the plumbing were swift. One of them went to look at the toilet, one of them went to look at the sink grinder, the disposal. They were able to unjam the disposal by just using a tool and when I turned it on it was still a little loud. The other one said that there may still be a little something in there and that I would just have to keep on using it and it may settle itself down. And he was right, it has settled down and it’s quieter now. With the toilet, the plumber immediately said that the insides of the back of the tank were old and worn-out. He went out and got a set from his truck, and replaced them, and the toilet ha been great ever since. AHS reps have always been very positive. They would say, “I’m sorry, this is happening to you.” And then, they'd set about handling the claim and would always check with me if there’s anything else that I need before we hang up.

And they said, “Oh, there’s a crack in your heater, in the heat exchanger.” So, we called American Home Shield to check it out, and they had a photo and I had them check it out. Then I called Classic Aire back and they came back out with a senior inspector who said, “You absolutely have no crack in your heat exchange.”

    Then I called Spire but I didn’t confirm the appointment. That’s the gas company. I was gonna have the gas company come out if Classic Aire saw another crack because Sierra saw no crack. They didn’t have a camera to look in anything, but they did the testing. So, when the Classic Aire senior inspector came back, they had a camera and they did the same thing that Sierra did. The senior inspector and Sierra said there was no crack. So, there was no need for me to call the gas company because that was gonna be my next step because I have Carbon Monoxides all over.

    My AC went out and I didn’t know what was wrong with it so I called American Home Shield. Scottsdale Services was our given contractor and they sent somebody out. I called them on Thursday and they couldn’t come out until the following Monday which was very annoying. In the meantime, we almost lost our coral in our aquarium because of the heat in here. I had to go out and buy a floor AC to put on the aquarium. It was very aggravating. But I dealt with that. A technician then came out, went up into the attic, came back down and said the pan was cracked. He was in a hurry and he rushed through everything. That was rude.

    I ask him asked how the pan cracked and was told somebody must have had stepped on it on the pipes. The technician wasn’t clear about what was wrong. I was going how anybody could stand on the pipe. It was right next to the unit. Also, there was no way that anybody was on that side of the attic. He said he didn’t know why the pan was cracked. That was when he said he was gonna submit a report about it. After he left, I texted him and told me to send me the picture that he took because I wanted to know exactly what he was talking about so I could go up and look at it.

    I also asked him if he had checked the drain because the overflow pan was full of water. He went up there and he suctioned it out but he never told me if he checked the drain or not. I asked what I was supposed to do and he said that he had to contact American Home Shield. He never responded and never sent me the picture. It was total silence. To this day, I haven’t heard from the man.

    I told American Home Shield I was not satisfied. There has been nobody up in the attic and we don’t go up there. I had a water heater replaced which is also up in the attic but that’s on the other side of the unit. There is no way that somebody could’ve gone and cracked that pan. In addition to that, the pan is inside of the unit that he said was cracked. After some research with Google, I found out that the pan can corrode over time. It’s plastic-like and the tech said the plastic doesn’t break. But it does as it can get brittle. I had American Home Shield send me out somebody else.

    The second technician went up into the attic and he said the same thing. The pan was cracked but he didn’t understand how. He said the only way that the pan could’ve cracked was if somebody had stepped on it. I told him that the first tech who came was in a hurry. The second tech said that the only thing he could think of was that the first tech was checking the drain to see if it was clogged and he may have accidentally stepped on the pan to look over the unit.

    I called American Home Shield because they said they would not cover that because that was human error in the AC unit. I told them I begged to differ because there has been nobody in that area aside from the tech from Scottsdale. My ex-husband came over because I was not satisfied and nobody was fixing anything. He went up there and checked. The drain was clogged. He unclogged the drain and I have not had a problem with it since. But the pan could still be cracked. My ex-husband did not go in. He didn’t take the lid off anything but he did clean out the drain pipe.

    Aside from my AC, American Home Shield sent someone out to fix my water heater before. The first time a tech came out was great. The only thing with the first one was that it took time but the water heater was fixed and I was happy with it. This time with my AC though, I was not happy because American Home Shield went by what was written in the report. How would they know if that was correct or not? What if the first tech accidentally stepped on the pan as he was checking the drainpipe? When I asked him what I was supposed to do he said just to check it. If it got full of water again, I was to go up there and suction it out. I am 67 years old. I don’t go up in the attic to begin with and I’m not gonna go up there to suction anything out. That’s electrical and I don’t do that. He said there was nothing he could do.

    I called American Home Shield and I put in a complaint. They never called me back. When I asked a rep to send me to a certain department, I was told that people in that department were not allowed to speak to the public. They would have to call me. To this day, I haven’t received a phone call. Right now, I would not recommend American Home Shield and I'm thinking about cancelling my policy with them. I do better by saving my money instead of paying them $100 each visit for them to tell me that I did it. I’m very dissatisfied.

    It’s been quite hot here in Central Texas so our AC unit has been working pretty hard and it was actually freezing up. Ice would develop on the heat pump and the outer shield of it and it quit working. A couple of things happened. Number one was that I needed to turn it off in the blistering heat, and then make sure I continue to run the fan. Then I was told that the unit was freezing up in the attic and not so much the heat pump. And so, it had to thaw out from the top down. After the process he went through, the unit appeared to be leaking some gas. So, he put five pounds worth of fluid in it.

    Technically, it’s working fine now. The last two days has been in the mid-80s, and we’ve had almost 100 days in a row where it’s been in the high 90s. Then today and tomorrow, it’s gonna be considerably warmer. But the big question is, will it hold the refrigerant or not? I’m gonna keep an eye on it. And there’s a good chance that I’ll probably be calling on another claim to have them take a look at it again to see if it’s still leaking refrigerant. ‘Cause that’s gonna be the main culprit. If it continues to leak, then that’s just gonna be an ongoing problem. I don’t think that it’s something that they can fix, at least not short-term anyways with just tightening up a bolt. I think the continued fix on it is to continue to add the refrigerant gas to it unless there’s something that they can fix on the main unit to stop it from leaking gas. But we’re certainly very happy to go into the fall. Hopefully with the cooler temperature, I won’t be using the AC quite as much.

    Overall, I’ve been very pleased with the contractors who have come out. In each case, they did a very good job and were very thorough in terms of how they looked at things. I'm also happy with American Home Shield. When I saw that my one year term was close to coming up in December, I went ahead and renewed after the claim ‘cause I’ve got a pretty good confidence level that I needed to stay on the program. And I felt very comfortable that at some point, our AC unit will get fixed properly.

    The previous house owner had the AC unit replaced about a year ago, but it appears that in trying to cut corners and not spend much money, the electrical going to the AC unit in the attic was not replaced with the unit. You can open the fuse box and pull out a little fuse and stop power running to the unit. I pulled it out one day to change the air filters, and it broke in half. I went to Home Depot to see if I can replace it and couldn't. So, then we went ahead and called American Home Shield to utilize our warranty. And the gentleman came out. He was very prompt, called ahead, and did a fantastic job.

    The only thing that concerned me was he left some of his mess up there, but I picked it up and threw that away. But other than that, he fixed it within under an hour. He had us back working. We went about two days without AC. Luckily, it was one of those timeframes where it wasn't 95 degree that day, but we managed. We're grateful to have American Home Shield on our side. It all worked out.

    We utilized the warranty again to have all the doors rekey. It worked out great. We picked this particular warranty package because it said that rekeying would be something they would offer. So for the $75 fee, the guy came out, and he was very nice and fixed all of that. So, now we have the same key for all of our entry ways. So, it makes it easier for us. Plus the fact we have the peace of mind knowing that nobody else has the key to get to our house. So it made my wife and my girls feel better.

    We also called American Home Shield when we had an issue with the garage door. It ended up being a problem with the push button that was beside the backdoor going to the garage. So the tech changed a part in it. It started working again with no problem. So, it took him probably under an hour to figure out what the issue was there and get it back working for us. So, we were very pleased all three times we've used American Home Shield's service.

    The contractors sent by American Home Shield were trying to dry my floors. We had a flood problem from the water heater. They checked the floors, and they came in, they ripped the flooring, and ran some humidifiers and some blowers in here for a couple of days. They were out here the next morning after I filed the claim to AHS to fix the leak with the water heater.

    I submitted the claim online. They put me over the phone too, and the person I spoke with was helpful. They gave me a phone number, and I talked to them. They got somebody to come out and they didn't take that long. Since the repair, there were no issues with the water heater. They're trying to get someone to repair the damage to the floors, and I've been waiting. The first people we called came out and did the measurement of the section, then the floor was still too wet. When people came out when I called them, it says, "Restores," and when you say that restore, I interpret that to mean they're gonna put it back the way it was but they didn't.

    My air conditioner broke down about 2 weeks ago. American Home Shield would cover only $385.00 and $2245.00 on me. They offered me a cash out payment of $385.00 that covers labor only. I have not received the cash out and called today about the status of the cash out. They said they need proof of repair, when I called 4 days ago, somebody said the check is on the way. They have all kinds of excuses not pay for the repair, should not they at least half the cost of the repair. Be careful when you choose home warranty company. AHS did not work for me.

    VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED!! I have carried AHS for close to 30 years between a past home and now my current. I have been fortunate to live in 2 homes where costly repairs were not consistently needed, but when they were, AHS performed at a satisfactory level. Last week my A/C went out. I called AHS and a repairman was sent out within the week. The repairman climbed up to the attic to check the unit and took a photo. He explained to me that about 10-12' of duct was damaged and would need to be replaced. He explained he didn't carry that much duct on his truck and would also need to get approval from AHS.

    Two days later, I received an email asking about the performed service on my A/C. I called AHS to let them know repairs hadn't been done, as I was waiting for approval. The service representative then informed me that repairs would not be covered by AHS, as the photo they'd received from the repairman showed excessive damage due to abuse. Their opinion was the damaged section was not due to normal wear and tear and that I would be responsible for the repairs which would be approximately $600.00. I explained to the rep that this was not true. My husband or I have no business or desire to climb up a ladder to the attic to look at and then purposely damage the A/C unit. We simply noticed the house wasn't cooling when A/C on, and gave AHS a call!

    I asked to speak to a supervisor, was told he/she was on another line, but that someone would get back to me that evening. No one called. I called back that same evening before going to bed, spoke with another service rep asking to be transferred to a supervisor. Again. I was told a supervisor would get back to me shortly. No one called back. Called a third time the following day, wanting to share my concern and disappointment.

    It was this third call to AHS I learned I was talking to the Philippines. I asked this third representative if she could give me a phone number to their office in the United States. She could not. She assured me someone would call back. No one called back. I went online to look up the AHS Corporate Office. I found them in Tennessee with a phone number listed. I felt I was finally on to speaking to someone who could possibly help! The number I called sent me back to representatives in the Philippines...

    I have a A/C repairman coming out to the house today. Plan on getting 2 more estimates before we decide who we'll go with to make the necessary repairs. It will not be AHS. I will not give them any more money. After 30 years, I will be cancelling my policy. I will tell anybody looking for a home warranty company to stay away from AHS and find a company who will stand behind their business. If management within the company reads this, cares enough to contact me, I'm still willing to share my disappointment. Not holding my breath.

So, they helped us with that, and then it took a while to get that taken care of. And then they came back out once the work was completed and realized that it was much more than just the leaky wall. It was a complete deterioration of my cast-iron pipe under my house. So, they worked with us and put new plumbing and new pressure system in our home, and now we’re just working on the rebuild.

    Originally, when Summer Breeze, the air conditioner people, came out, the guy said I needed an electrician. A switch was turned off on the wall. Electrical Service Professionals just came out today and switched it on. He was really nice and great. On the other hand, Summer Breeze should've checked the fuse box, but he said the fuse box was bad and a fuse needed replaced. And that he didn't do that which he should have. So, that wasn’t very professional on Summer Breeze's part, not to have figured that out.

    And that whole debacle with the air conditioner company for the whole summer, trying to get it fixed was the problem from the get-go. They made an appointment and took two weeks for them to get there. When they got there, they said, “Oh, you need this motor.” So, it took two more weeks. So, we were without air conditioner for six weeks during the summer, just waiting for them to try to fix it. And then finally, they said, “Oh, you need a new air conditioner. They tried whatever they could do to prolong or patch it when I needed a new air conditioner the whole time.

    The last note I see on my online login with AHS was from June 26. They’ve been out two or three times, and the electrical work, and the follow-up when the air conditioner quit working again. Then, it was off again for another month. So, I was without air conditioner twice, both for extended periods of time. When the air conditioner company came out, they didn't report back. So, I had to keep on calling to find out what was gonna happen next. When I talked to someone from AHS, nothing got done and there was no follow-up.

    So now, I have a brand-new air conditioner, but I don't have any warranty and I don't have the paperwork. Summer Breeze said, “You have to get that from the warranty company.” Then, American Home Shield told me, “You have to get that from Summer Breeze.” I didn't renew with American Home Shield because of all this, and now, I’m afraid my air conditioner’s gonna break and I don't have any paperwork, warranty, or any proof that it was repaired or that I have a warranty on my unit. It’s really frustrating and I was very disappointed. If they're concerned and they care, then what happened wouldn’t have happened.

We had two claims with AHS during the seven years we rented the house and both times, somebody came out right away. Also, our landlord never complained about them.

We don’t know why it stopped or when it’s gonna come back again and it became not a priority anymore. So, we just kinda dropped. I submitted this claim through email.

    We didn't have the highest hopes and we had heard in the past from other sources that we were going to be disappointed with American Home Shield but they came through for us twice in one year and it worked out very well. We appreciate it. There were some additional side charges, but they were negligible. The contractor did the repair on the air conditioner, and they told us that it was an old unit and it'll probably have more problems in the future but for now, it seems to be chugging along just fine. We had another property where my son lives, and the air conditioner had to be fixed there as well. Both of them were satisfactory.

    The house on Monte Vista came with a contract for one year at the time of purchase. Then, about 10 months into it, the air conditioner stopped working. Someone was sent over and they did a very good job of keeping that old unit. It's probably off the contract right now but we have a continuing contract on our house here on Convent Street.

    On our gas oven claim with American Home Shield, the first contractor that was sent said there was nothing wrong with the oven. Two people in the house cook all the time. I called American Home Shield back, and then Active Appliance came out. The service guy opened up the oven and unscrewed it, and he said we needed a new igniter. The first company was crappy. That was a waste of American Home Shield's money. Active Appliance helped there.

    On our electric oven claim, what was weird was, we had a problem with it keeping heat. We’d open the door, close it, and it would go off. Now, the contractor said to someone that was in the house that he needed to order a part. That was my understanding. Then I called, and that was when I got upset because no one called me about the part. What happened was, I called the Philippines, and I had a lot of hassle. And finally, they weren’t gonna come to look at my oven for another week and three days, and they said there was no part.

    So then, American Home Shield was waiting for the technician’s diagnosis. It took him many days to diagnose it, which I still don’t know what the diagnosis is today. So, we gave up on that. Then Active Appliance also came out for my refrigerator and said, “We’re gonna try to unplug it ‘cause it was dripping and leaking. I think that’s the thing.” He did not open up anything or unscrew anything to look at any lines. I undid my refrigerator, turned it off for 24 hours, did what he said, and then I turned it back on 24 hours. Two days later, it was leaking again. So, that was not good. And they were gonna take another week and three days to come back to look at it, which I thought was awful. I called them and I wanted to talk to the supervisor. I was not rude in any way, but then they just weren’t answering. So, I called American Home Shield.

    I called a lot, and Magic was the latest one that got involved. And they actually checked out my electric oven. They said it’s working fine. So, I think so far, it’s working fine. With my refrigerator, they came out within two days instead of a week and a half, and the tech knew the problem. So, Magic is like magic. I would hire them more than any other company so far.

    But with the first company that came out for my gas oven, the tech was very rude. He sat there and said, “It works. It works. What do you mean?” And then Active came in and said, “No. You need a new igniter.” So, American Home Shield's people are not the best. Their wasting their money. I already had five people coming for the same thing. It’s not fair. I call in to make my claims with them, and if my interactions are in America, they're pretty good. If it’s abroad, they say, “Oh, I’m so sorry. We can’t do anything about it.” I have spent an hour and a half trying to get supervisors. So, it's bad customer service. In fact, I almost cancelled my plan. That was what made them get Magic Appliance in here. I have not been happy, and I don’t think I’ll renew.

    We've been with AHS forever. When we lived in Indiana, in Texas, and in Covington, we were with AHS. I try to submit claims online because calling is so hard. I wish the wait time wasn't so long if you wanted to speak to someone. But other than that, it's an easy process. I had a claim for my refrigerator. That was a headache. The first repair guy came in and said I just had to adjust the temperature. I think he just wanted to get out of here. The next morning, I had water everywhere on my floor and around my cabinets. It was not fixed. AHS called someone else out and the guy came out the next day. He said it couldn't be fixed and I asked him to let AHS know that. This was three to four weeks and my family of five didn't have a refrigerator. It was very, very hard times. But AHS took care of the replacement.

    For my most recent claim, G & E Appliances came out and the tech was great. He was very knowledgeable and he fixed the issue with no problem. Overall, I would recommend AHS. I'd tell my neighbor they should get it because you'll never know if something is gonna happen. Even for a new home, everything is new, you still can have a problem.

    Last year, I blasted AHS to the moon and back as they were gonna deny a claim. I climbed the ladder until they got my client's issue taken care of. The people AHS had sent were not qualified and they had terrible business ratings. When a client of mine calls and has a problem, if I feel they're wrong, I tell them. However that time, my client wasn't wrong.

    More recently, I placed a claim for an electrical issue to AHS on a Friday and their system said that it would be a business day when they would get back to me. They called me on a Saturday which is typically not a business day where I am and scheduled the appointment for Monday. Reliable Garage Door showed up at the appointed time and while I figured they'd repair what I had, they went in and put a brand-new one in. Everything was clean and well done. Plus, they didn’t ask for any more money than the deductible. I am a Realtor and I've had some problems with American Home Shield for clients in the past, but this was about as good and easy as it went. The contractor was Better Business Bureau listed A+ and the techs were professional and quiet. AHS has done a very good job for me.

So I called on 9/22/19 to AHS and spoke to a guy who agreed with me that it was covered and was going to talk to his supervisor and I would get a call on Monday 9/23/19. Of course that never happened. I called today (Tuesday 9/24/19) and was told it does say it is covered but not for any cleaning under section H.

    "H. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS 7. AHS is not responsible or liable for repair of conditions or replacement caused by chemical or sedimentary build up, misuse or abuse, failure to clean or maintain, missing parts, structural changes, fire, freezing, electrical failure or surge, water damage, lightning, mud, earthquake, soil movement, storms, accidents, pet damage, pest damage, acts of God, or failure due to excessive or inadequate water pressure." I cannot clean this area. Only a hired AC Tech could. The tech cleaned and repaired this part. These contracts are misleading to the consumer and I plan on filing a consumer complaint against AHS.

    We sold our house last month and I have been trying to cancel our home warranty with no success. I have spent over an hour on phone.. sitting on hold while transferred to three different departments, hung up on once, told that a supervisor refused to speak to me just to be told they want to charge me a cancellation fee of more than my monthly payment.

    The service representative was the worst I have ever dealt with. I have been a customer for over 20 years. They kept me on hold for over an hour. When I finally spoke to the rudest rep she took over an hour taking down information. I am still on line with her and no results. The worst company!!!!

    I called AHS to report a leak in my main drain (the one sewage runs through). Their assigned plumber was out to confirm the leak on Tuesday 9/17. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday go by with no follow up. I stressed the urgency of the matter various times. They basically left me with leaking sewage, so I followed up again on Saturday 9/21. No status was provided. It's as if they didn't even talk to the plumber they assigned. 4 days went by! I told them I could not wait and had it fixed. They would offer a CIL (cash in lieu) instead. That ended up being $160, which is a joke. The work was well over $1,000. Companies like AHS get away with this too often. You finally need them for something major and they leave you waiting. I've had my contract with them for almost 8 years. It has probably cost me over $6,000 when you add up all the monthly payments, and they give me $160 for something major like this? I'm furious.

    I have used AHW on several occasions and as long as the job is simple it is completed in a timely manner. If it's complicated you can expect to wait and wait for completion. On the first occasion this happened to us we had an electrical issue, our entire upper floor had no electricity. AHS sent out contractor after contractor who were unable or refused to finish the job because of the scope of the work. We ended up without electricity for 2 months. We kept the warranty for another term besides this just in case, well our hot water heater went out. We waited a day and a half for someone to come out. When he arrived he appeared to know little about plumbing which concerned us. He then left the house saying he was going to check on the part needed and call us within an hour. Well four hours passed, still no hot water and no phone call.

    I called him. He said he was still looking. I called AHS and they told me they would contact contractor. Then I received an email that another contractor had been assigned. We ended up calling at the end of the business day and were able to find a contractor to come out the next morning. They had the parts, and we had hot water within a few hours. We could not risk waiting days or weeks for hot water like we did for the electricity. When I called AHS, they refused to refund the $100 service fee even though they did not fix the problem. My experience is they hire the cheapest least experienced contractors, give you the runaround when things are tricky and refuse to make it right when they are unable to fix things in a timely manner. Just save your money and be ready to pay for home fixes. This company is not worth bothering with.

    THIS IS THE WORST INSURANCE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. YOU'RE BETTER OFF NOT GETTING INSURANCE!!!! So my water heater unfortunately stopped working and I called AHS to come replace or fix it due to the fact that I had 2000 dollars worth of insurance so when this time came all I would be charged for is the service fee.

    When I called they sent out a licensed plumber to take a look which I had to end up getting another opinion because this guy was so unprofessional he was literally in my house for less than 5 minutes, took off his sneakers for whatever reason took like two pictures and left. But anyways after they received the invoices from both plumbers they began to tell me that I would still have to pay 500 to 700 dollars still to fix a certain tube for the heater which I researched and looked into only cost 60 dollars in actuality so it definitely felt like a gimmick and mind you that cost MORE than an ENTIRE water heater itself!!!

    So I’m just so curious and confused as to what they do with the entire 2000 dollars!! WHERE DOES IT GO? WHAT DOES IT DO? WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? The whole sole purpose for this insurance was to cover it especially with 2000 dollars and when I asked for corporate information to contact them they ONLY had an address no email, no phone number, not even a fax number which is EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL but hey glad to know I just gave 2000 dollars away for no apparent reason. Hopefully I get good karma in the future for it. Word of advice if you don’t want to waste money, time, or your sanity DO NOT GET INSURANCE WITH AMERICAN HOME SHIELD. THEY ARE FRAUDS!!!!

    I had two different claims with American Home Shield. With the upstairs AC unit that wasn't cooling, I phoned that in to AHS and I got a phone call from the company coming out to do the service. The service I received for that one was great. The guy did an exceptional job. In fact, that was the first service call that I had from AHS where the person came and did the repair all in one step. They didn't have to order a part, they didn't have to come back later. However, the service for the heater on my pool was terrible. I did not experience good service when it came to my hot water unit either. So, it seems like those that have to do with gas appliances, they're not very seriously considering the ramifications of those appliances.

    If it's gonna be a big out of pocket expense for AHS, I don't feel that I don't get covered adequately. You have a refrigerator that goes, they said they couldn't get the parts, so they did have to either cash me out or purchase a refrigerator. That works. On the hot water heater, they said it didn't meet code and I was gonna have to take down these walls to install a hot water heater. So the guy didn't turn it off, he didn't unassemble it, he didn't remove it, he just left with the $75 service call. And then, I had to get a cash out and hire someone.

    The contractors for the heater on my pool said one thing when they were out here, but they didn't state what they said when they turned in their paperwork. And then, I was forced to get a second opinion, the second opinion didn't agree, and what they told me versus what they told AHS was not the same. Now, AHS is offering a third opinion and they have declined to fix the unit that I asked them to come out and fix, stating that it's not normal wear and tear. The unit is 18 years old and the reason why I got a service contract was so that it'd be covered. I've spoken with multiple representatives stating that they would have someone call me back, and no one has. And then I got an email that the service was completed, but it wasn't. Then I spoke with somebody on LiveChat yesterday that asked me what did I want to see happen. I said I want the unit to be repaired or replaced. That's why I'm paying for a service contract.

    I'm a Realtor and not only am I not gonna use AHS anymore, I'm definitely not gonna refer anybody because this is the kind of service my clients would get. The AHS rep said he would allow the last person I spoke with to get in touch with me. And I said, "Well, that's good. Because the last person I spoke to said he was gonna have a person prior to him call me, and she never has." So, everybody promises to call back, but nobody does. This claim started 1st of June this year and since the heater unit of the pool is attached to gas and water, I had to shut off the gas line going to the unit and I had to diminish the water flow through that heater. It's just ridiculous. AHS service companies are all over the map, and most of the service people will agree that AHS doesn't repair things, they just put a bandage on it.

    We requested a service call for our gas furnace. Ahs sent out Total Air Care. 7 months later and multiple no shows from total air care and we still do not have a working furnace. Ahs agreed to send out a different contractor but still has not. Go with another company, AHS is like throwing money away!

    There was an issue with the drain pipe from the house to the outside sewer. When I spoke to somebody from AHS, I had problem understanding the policy because the person had an accent. I wanted to know what was covered but once I read it, I was fine. The plumber had to come out two different times because he didn’t know the problem at first, but he was able to fix it. He did an excellent job. I would recommend AHS. In fact, this house has had a lot of problems, which they repaired.

    The guy from R&S Home Maintenance who came out fixed the main problem, the dryer. But while he was here, he said that my door needs a replacement, that thing that holds the door from flopping down. I said okay. And he said, “Well, I was gonna order that part for you. And when it comes in, I’ll just come back.” When I asked if I need to go ahead and say something to AHS, he said “No. You don’t live far from me. So, when the part comes in, I’ll just bring it in and put it on. Don’t worry about it.” We took him at his word. So, I went on and signed up on some paper. I should have known better. I’ve been out of town but I have my cellphone with me the whole time and that was where he was supposed to call me. It has been over a month now and I have heard nothing back from him.

    I had Sears and a friend of mine said that I should try American Home Shield because they were better than Sears. AHS's price was $25 higher than Sears, but the guy said that AHS service was so much better. So, I changed over and have been with them for six months now. Other than my experience with that guy from R&S, I have no problems with AHS. So far, they've been fine.

    Whoever installed the drain didn't put enough of a downward spout on it, so it was flooding the drain pan. The communication and interactions with the contractor were very good, and I would recommend them. The owner came out the second time to make sure it was done right. He explained what was wrong and the issue. I also had a claim with American Home Shield for the fridge and it wasn’t handled within a timely manner because it took us almost four weeks to get a fridge. I had to go pick it up myself because they couldn't deliver it for another week, and I wasn't waiting five weeks for a fridge when I had kids in the house. It made it very difficult. The first company that came out turned the report in after the sixth day and said that they couldn’t fix it. Before AHS sends contractors out, maybe they should do a background check. I did my own check on the first service repair company, with the fridge, and they didn't have very good reviews.
