a. tech fixed water dispenser line. b. Large block of ice – he heated/chipped something. Said the line was clear and would be fine now. 3. 8/14/19 Second visit from Appliance Magic – a. Large block of ice back again. He performed the same thing. Heated, cleared the line. Said it was fine. b. He said he had to order parts – some controller thing and hinge for the door. He would be back.
4. 8/__/19 Third visit from Appliance Magic – a. Installed the controller. Then said it wasn’t the controller. b. Replaced hinge on refrigerator door. Made the issue WORSE. Now the door swings open all the way with a bang. c. I Contacted AHS, who contacted Appliance magic, who said they couldn’t fix it, needed second opinion. 5. AHS said they would submit a request for another opinion. We were assigned All City Appliance. 6. Not contacted by All City, so I called them to schedule.
7. 8/29/19 First visit from All City Appliance. Their tech Mohammad, did the same thing. Came in and unfroze the big block of ice. Did nothing with the door. Said we had the refrigerator/freezer on the wrong settings and TURNED IT DOWN, colder. 8. Called All City the next day and asked they didn’t fix the other problems (door and its freezing too cold). They scheduled another appointment for 9/4/19.
9. 9/4/14 Tech never showed. He called me at 5:30 pm and said he was an hour or so away and would be at my house at 7:30 pm (my contract explicitly states that work should be performed within normal working hours). I asked why he hadn’t done all three items on the list. He said it was my husband’s fault, he didn’t tell him there was anything but the block of ice. I said, but it was on the order that AHS sent you. I explicitly told them all three items. He again said it was my fault, or my husbands fault and started arguing with me. I told him no, he could no come at 7:30 at night. He said, ok, he would be there between 8 and 9 the following morning.
10. 9/5/19 Tech never showed. Called his company and told them we were waiting on the tech, they said they had no information on him coming on 9/5. She told me to hold, called him and came back and said there was no answer. 11. 9/5/19 I called the tech (from caller ID night before). He answered and I asked why he wasn’t there. He said “I don’t actually work for them anymore, but I’m coming to fix the refrigerator anyway.” I asked why he would come to my house if he didn’t work there. He said he started the job so had to finish it. I said, "No, I don’t think so, if you don’t work for them, then your former company is no longer liable if you break something or mess up my house or any other issue, like security" – what if he came in and robbed me? I told him I would call All City back.
12. 9/5/19 Called All City back. Told the receptionist that I had reached him and relayed the above conversation. I asked her about him not working for All City anymore. She said she didn’t know anything about it. I asked her who was in charge? “Ryan is the owner.” I asked, "Can I have his number," which she gave me. 13. 9/5/19 Called Ryan. Relayed all of the above information. Told him the refrigerator still isn’t fixed, and Mohammad said he is coming to my house to fix it even though he doesn’t work for you?? What does that mean?? Ryan said, “I don’t know if he works for me, but he can fix it.” I said, "Wait a minute, if he doesn’t work for you, he is no longer insured by your company. Ryan said, “Yes, it's fine, we are still liable.” At that point, I said, "No – I’ll call AHS." To which Ryan answered, “Wait, I can send another tech.” I said I was calling AHS.
14. SECURITY CONCERNS: I called AHS and reported ALL of the above to them. Including my SECURITY CONCERNS. AHS tried to call All City and get a response. I was told that All City would have to come out and still do the repair. Even with my concerns, AHS insisted that All City would have to return. AHS did get hold of All City and was told that the manager (Ryan) would call me back within an hour. So I finally said, ok. 15. 9/5/19 – no call from Ryan. 16. 9/6/19 – no call from Ryan or anyone at All City. 17. 9/9/19 Called AHS AGAIN – told them I never heard from anyone at All City. What now? They called All City and set the appointment. I asked AHS to ensure that whoever showed up at my home was employed by the company.
18. 9/9/19 All City dispatch called me to set up appt. Set for 9/11/19 between 9-1. I asked her "Who is coming?" She responded, "Ryan." 19. 9/11/19 Second visit from All City – Ryan arrived. He came in, looked at the refrigerator. Did nothing to it. Told my husband he would have to call Kenmore. Gave no indication how long this process would take. 20. 9/12/19 I called All City asking what the status was. Dispatch had no information. She said she would have to contact Ryan when I said he told us he would call Kenmore. I asked her how long the process takes? Day? 2 days? A week? 2 weeks? She said she couldn’t tell me anything, they had no timeline. No one called me back.
21. 9/13/19 My husband called All City Dispatch. He was told basically the same thing as indicated on 9/12. Except he was told that Ryan “had not even called Kenmore yet” When he did, Ryan said “KENMORE WOULD HAVE TO COME TO MY HOUSE”. But they had no timeline, no idea when that would happen.22. OK, DOES ANYBODY ELSE THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS YET????
23. 9/13/19 –sigh- called AHS again. Relayed the information provided from All City. I asked “Is it normal for them to send someone from another company?” AHS said no. The contractor is responsible for fixing the item. I said, but they’re not. And they won’t tell us when it might be fixed. AHS tried to call All City. Got the dispatcher and was told the same thing they told my husband. She then tried to call Ryan who did not answer his phone.
24. 9/13/19 AHS’s conclusion was that they have to have a response from All City – who will not respond before they can proceed. They cannot assign anyone else OR pay out the refrigerator that cannot be fixed until the people that won’t respond do respond. I said I want this escalated. AHS said they would send the report to Contractor Relations. I asked if I could talk to them. “No”. We will file it. She tried to call All City’s Ryan again. Still no response. She also said if they could not get a response from Ryan, that AHS would need to send out another contractor, a THIRD contractor for a second opinion. 25. 9/13/19 CLEARLY ALL CITY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM IF THEY SAID SOMEONE FROM KENMORE HAD TO COME OUT. And who would pay for Kenmore???
26. 9/13/19 Looked all over AHS’s website for a “contact” email. On your contact page you have a phone number and submit request. The only emails listed are a “security” and “privacy” email. I’m sending to both. 27. CONTINUATION – 28. 9/16/19 Called All City Appliance 3 times. No answer. 29. 9/16/19 Called AHS, spoke with Jeff. Was told that “CONTRACTOR RELATIONS” has received the request. They will contact All City Appliance (WITHIN 24 hours). Then All City Appliance will reach out to me for an “update”?? This makes no sense.
QUESTIONS:1. WHY do I have 3 work orders for the same job?
2. WHY does it say “Completed” when it clearly is not?
3. HOW MANY weeks (we are at 7 now) does it take to do your job?
4. IS AHS GOING TO SPEND THE ENTIRE ALLOTTED AMOUNT for my refrigerator (per the contract) and THEN say, ok we’ll replace it, but, by the way there’s nothing left we can pay out to you? A question I have raised repeatedly. How many times are you going to try and fix it? The “canned” answer is we’re waiting on the report from the contractor.
5. HOW DO WE GET THIS FIXED AND FINALIZED????
Melissa,
I am sorry to hear that AHS has not provided a suitable resolution at this time. Thanks for allowing us to assist you towards your resolution. We will await your decision and assist you from there. Take Care.

I am very disappointed in this company’s practices. I have used them for several years and for the most part the service received has been at a B level. The appliances have been fixed but not without several trips and multiple companies. Most recently over this past year I have had service on my pool pool and problems still occur. Last week was my third service call and when I spoke with the Raya in the service department she assured me I would not have to pay another service fee and my request would be linked to the most recent service order. Well I have been billed my service fee and I reached out to get resolution.
I spoke this time with Jeff and was told there is no record of Raya waiving the fee but did show the service order number I was given. When asked to speak to a supervisor I was told one was not available. Jeff did say this issue would go to the escalation department and I would have to wait 48 hours. I suggested they listen to the recorded call with Raya. I have had three service calls this year and been charged three times on this same piece of equipment trying to have it fixed. Hopefully the billing department will get this straight and honor their original commitment to me.

They do not take care of their people and are slow to get the work done, two months to fix my icebox, two weeks now just to get my air fix in the 90s and they still have not help when called, this is the best way to go. Put the money in an account yourself and call a better company to come out to fix it and you can save money and have it done right away#.

Updated on 12/27/2019: In mid August my cooktop went bad. I had posted a review in Sept about same cooktop since nothing seemed to be happening. After my review in sept I got a response from AHS on this site saying they have emailed me for a follow up. I haven't found that email in my inbox from them and nobody tried to call me either from AHS. They have my contact info also.
It's Dec 27th, more than 4 months and cooktop still not fixed. During this time, they sent 3 wrong people - one never worked on Miele appliances so didn't know what to do, second said he didn't know why they sent him since he didn't work on induction cooktop. I found 3rd one online and they were part of AHS vendor list so he finally diagnosed it. They replaced 2 parts and realized 3rd part was missed. That was early Oct. Since then AHS keep closing my case with different excuses - part on backorder accidentally closed, oops forgot to order, how about take cashout of $350 since they had already spent money on 2 parts (original cost of cooktop $3200). I told them I am not taking $350 cashout so please fix it. I was told that's fine, parts are ordered.
Three weeks later, I called and was told, since they offered cashout which I refused and told them explicitly to fix it, they again didn't place any order for that part and now ETA is TBD. I was told clearly part is ordered and should be arriving after Christmas. I have been without cooktop thru holidays also... Well on positive side, less cooking for me. I should have just gotten a new cooktop. Every time I ask them to connect me to parts dept and they don't. Every time I am told they will call back with status and nobody calls back. I think as long as you have std appliances and go thru process you are ok with them. If you have high end appliances, I would definitely not recommend them.
Original Review: I changed my warranty company to AHS 2.5 months ago. My first service request filed on Aug 19th for a cooktop has had no work done on it. First call was quick, they sent Beyer Appliance guy who said he didn't know how to open my Miele cooktop, saying it has screws and since it's in the counter no idea how to access. I called Miele tech support and was told it's a drop in cooktop, no screws.
Since then I have called AHS every couple of days to send someone in, they keep telling me someone will call within 48hrs. It's been 3 weeks now. Also looks like now when I call from my home number, they put me on hold for 30 mins and then I disconnect. When I call from a different number, someone picks up right away as if they have blocked off my number. I am amazed at the lack of customer service. I have talked to 10 different people and every is "so sorry" but nothing happens.
When I signed up I asked them multiple times if they service high end appliances and they were like "oh yeah" why do you even ask. We are the best. So fed up now, I would like to just cancel and get my money back. Oh yeah, they charged $100 visit fee right away. :). Also BTW, I called the appliance company directly, the guy who came to my house, never even put in any details about my cooktop or said he couldn't open it, etc. So my request is kind of lost there also. I called them 3-4 times but still nothing. If I could, I would be "Zero" rating but system doesn't have that option.
Alka,

You pay for service...they send inadequate service repair companies that lie and misdiagnose repair and try to blame the customer. This way the customer is responsible for repair. If you’re it smart enough to dispute the claim you’re stuck for the service call and new appliance! Thankfully I refused to allow that to happen so they did send someone else who indicated he did over 500 disputed claims for AHS! Really!? Once it was determined that we needed a replacement we couldn’t get through to AHS. And replacement or reimbursement was also a disappointment. Canceled my contract!

American Home Shield sent Do Rite Plumbing and my experience went great. I had a leak up under my sink and the garbage disposal was messed up, so they fixed it. I submitted the claim to AHS online. The contractor came out within a couple of days. I had to make sure that it correlated with my work schedule. The contractor was very professional and very courteous.

I had a plumbing issue with my dishwasher and American Home Shield sent out a contractor after I filed a claim online. One guy came out and worked on the issue. He told me that it seems to be working, but he put on the thing that the garbage disposal would not clear, and that was why it couldn’t finish doing what it needed to do.
For a couple of years that I've been with American Home Shield, it impresses me that anytime that I have a problem, whether I call them or go on the internet and put in a service call, they respond right away. In fact, sometimes, they will give you a choice of which vendor you want to go with. However, I don’t I like paying almost $59 a month, and then when there’s a service call, I have to pay $75. What kept us around with home warranty is the fear that things are gonna break and we are gonna have to spend our life-savings on it. But because of the pricing, I may decide not to stay with AHS and completely eliminate the home warranty service.

I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for my central air. It wasn’t cooling the house down, and it was just blowing warm air rather than cold air.

The air conditioner was leaking and not working, and I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield. The website was very simple to use and after the hurricane went through, the contractor was very quick to get out here. They’re here today to do the work and the technician said he should be done in two or three hours, and I think he'll be able to accomplish it. They have been great. However, American Home Shield doesn’t understand customer service. If I am their customer and BestWay is their vendor, I don’t understand why it's my obligation to keep calling them, asking them about the status and being told that I should directly call BestWay. I figure, as a customer service-oriented business as American Home Shield is, they ought to be the one that’s being proactive instead of sitting back there and cashing my check and closing the claim and everything else when the work hasn’t even started yet.

When my dishwasher broke, I made a claim with American Home Shield and followed protocol. I followed the online inquiry with them then I got a repair person to come. The repair guy said that the dishwasher couldn't be fixed. He contacted American Home Shield but they were not so fast in calling me back to resolve this and to let me know what the decision was. There was a mixture of phone calls and online submission of paperwork. The problem was I really had to stay on it with American Home Shield and had to nudge them to move on this. I had to be my own consumer advocate. It wasn't the end of the world though.
American Home Shield gave me certain types of dishwashers but I did not find them comparable to what we had. The other option was they gave me a cashout which was fine. I accepted the money instead. But I had to pay double the amount for a new dishwasher. The machine's great though and I love it. My experience turned out well but compared to the friend, who I learned about American Home Shield from, their experience was good then it wasn't so good. American Home Shield doesn't make a decision if the appliance can be repaired or not. Fortunately our dishwasher was old and fortunately, they were able to resolve it favorably for us to get a new one.

Then they go on TV and advertise these lies saying that they come out the same day, which they don’t.
I apologize for the way we've handled your dryer claim Lola. My name is Stacy and I just sent you an email in an effort to resolve your dryer work order. I look forward to connecting with you.

Our AC went out. The first time I called the first company, I made the appointment and they came in. Then they said that the issue was fixed. When the guy went outside to get the invoice, my daughter noticed that there was still smell like fire. The guy checked and said that maybe it needed another part. They ordered the part and it took about two weeks. I called the lady there and they came in again. That was a Friday and the problem was supposed to be fixed. Then it smelled like fire again on Saturday. I called the company on Monday and I told the lady that I still have the problem. I asked if she could send somebody and she said that they have an appointment after two weeks. I said that I have a baby at home and their guys already came in three times, and they didn’t fix it. I asked her to check if there have any cancellation and she said there was nothing and that she would give me the next appointment that’s for next week. She was very rude.
I called American Home Shield and they sent me another person. The guy was so nice and wonderful. He knew right away what the problem was and he had the parts so he changed it. He also said that I need to change the filters and he could do that for me so he did it. Everything is working very good. Overall, I like AHS and I’m very happy with them.

American Home Shield sent Silver Star Appliance for an appliance issue. Everything was good with the claim. I did it online and the process was easy. The only thing, which I didn't expect, is Silver Star Appliance had a part, but it was the wrong part number. So it was just another day, which was not a big deal. I wasn't expecting them having a part on hand that day. Also, with the online submission of the claim, there was not an option to put what the model was for the device. There was no model placement where I could put the model number in. So, having that as an option would be good. Other than that, there were no issues and they fixed the problem first time out.

Our air conditioner was leaking recently and it turned out not to be working altogether. The motor outside was done. I put in a service request with American Home Shield and they sent Walker Air Conditioning. They came out twice. The first time, the contractor checked everything. The unit was on the fritz so they couldn't identify wholeheartedly what was going on with it. They told me to let them know if something happens in the future.
Then the second time, we called and that was when the motor had completely gone out. The service guy came the very next day to check it out and then he ordered parts. He didn't have to wait for an approval for the part because of the fact that he immediately identified what the problem was. He said, "I'll talk to you all by 12 o'clock tomorrow," which was gonna be Labor Day and sure enough, he surpassed our expectations and came with the item to fix the problem. He resides here in Laredo and it was about 110 when this was going on. He knew it wouldn't be appropriate to not help out as much. So, that was great and we didn't have any issues since. I'm hoping that it stays that way since it's a new machine and not just a repair. Also, we frequently put in requests online with American Home Shield and the process is easy.

I've been American Home Shield since I bought my place in June. I had them before for five years when I owned a home in New York. They have the best reputation. Back then, it there wasn't a whole lot of choices available like there is now. Also, I didn't really have to use American Home Shield that often. When my sink was leaking really badly that I had to put a bucket underneath the cabinet, I called American Home Shield. The claim process was simple and easy. Their rep explained the process.
I thought the problem was the P-trap but when the technicians came, they diagnosed the correct thing because I'm not a plumber. In an hour, everything was done. It was great. They cleaned up and they even said to me that they had this other kind of faucet that has a higher spout thing. I agreed to it and they did what they had to do. Also, I was sick but they didn't mind that I was acting like I was half dead on the couch. They didn't even mind that my cat wanted to help them.

There was a leak underneath the sink and the water was going out slowly. But there was really no way of explaining it and I was told that the warranty doesn't cover what I had requested service for.

I had a few issues with my electricity when I moved in. My outlets were loose and I was told that there were frayed wires in our electrical box. I had the technician kinda take a look at that, but he said that there was no issue with them. When he turned on our light switch, our light didn't come on all the time. I thought it was an issue with the actual switch and he said that we just need to change the bulb. He tested the other things that the inspector reported as wrong, but nothing was wrong. But he ended up repairing a few outlets and clipping a lot of the cords that were in the wall. A lot of cords popped out of the wall from our previous owner and we were afraid to clip them because we didn't wanna set our house on fire. We haven’t swapped the light bulb yet but all the outlets are good and I’m happy that the cords are gone. That really went well.
The technician was very professional and very courteous but the India call center is very difficult. The wait time was okay but there is language barrier. Also, when we moved in with American Home Shield, we were promised that we could use it right away to get our locks rekeyed. However, it wasn’t set up and ready to go so we paid for that out of our pocket. That’s not a benefit and that was plugged as one. When I called the India call center, they said they could do a one-time waive for it, and it never went through. That was really disappointing.

American Home Shield claims to have over 14,000 contractors. What is so hard about sending someone other the MYERS COMFORT is beyond me. I have been having issues with this contractor for as long as I have contacted American Home Shield for service and nothing positive have come from it.

Submitting claims with AHS is kinda ridiculous. I usually do it through a phone call and sometimes that works, but sometimes there’s a language issue on the other end of the home warranty people. And I really struggle to understand the accent that their customer service has. It’s not a clear English for my ears and to me, customer service has got to be a clear communication. But with them, it’s not. And that happened for several phone calls. So, I decided to do it online and that put you out into an abyss. Other than that, their contractors were good. But when I was looking for somebody to do a repair, I had never heard of the ones that were offered up to me by the home warranty group. They must be small businesses that are trying to build up a client base and that was interesting.
Recently, the young man from Sharper Service Solutions came out for the repair of my oven and he knew what he was doing. He explained himself fully, was eager to please as a customer service representative, and was able to take the technical and convert it into layman’s understanding for me, the customer. In the end, he fixed it and my oven is working great now, so I have no problems with Sharper Service Solutions. My problem is with AHS and I won't be renewing with them. The warranty costs $450 for a year, plus I pay $75 for the service call. So, they're expensive and they have poor and confusing customer service.

I moved to my home February of 2018, and that’s when I initiated signing up with AHS. So far, I've been with them for a year and nine months now. I submitted an AC claim to American Home Shield. I called their contractor on a Monday and they offered to come out on a Wednesday, but I wasn’t available. So, that was on me. And they came out in three days. My air conditioner definitely has a leak or multiple leaks on the condenser so there was no Freon in the system at all. I don’t know if that wasn’t caught before considering that in my last service call, they had put in Freon.
They said that we needed a new condenser. Unfortunately, it was a Thursday when they came out to look at it and diagnosed the problem. The contractor had 24-48 business hours to submit that claim to AHS. That was Labor Day weekend so they didn’t send that information to AHS on Thursday or Friday, and they were closed on Saturdays and Sundays. They tried to get a hold of them but couldn’t. Monday was a holiday too, so the following Tuesday, they submitted the information to AHS and had to get the part in. But AHS came back sooner than expected, so within two weeks of when I submitted the claim, everything was taken care of.

Some of the outlets in the master bathroom, hallway bathroom, and then a couple in the hallway weren’t working. We would have to switch the power off downstairs and turn it back on in the electrical box. If we switch it off and turn it back on, it would work for a couple of times. But if we use it more than once, it would just keep switching off. The breaker kept throwing. Someone came out the first time and replaced something. It worked while they were here, but when we tried to use it that night into the next morning, the breaker popped again so they came back out.
They found out that there's a little test button under the electrical outlet that can be pushed to get it to reset. It has one of those in the bathroom. It also has the same option down in the breaker box. The second guy that came out said it seemed like both were trying to counteract each other, like trying to test it. He replaced that entire test portion and it fixed it.
For the most part, all of the American Home Shield contractors have been really good. The only one that stood out to me was another company that came out to look at our AC heating unit. They found that there was something wrong with the compressor and while the guy was here, I asked if there was anything that we could’ve done on our end and if there was any type of issue that we caused that could’ve caused the compressor to go out. He reassured us that there was nothing, it was just an older system and stuff like that happens.
When the claims department reviewed the report, they called us back and told us that the technician said it was because we had two air filters in our system. I said that we’ve never had that. We talked with the technician before he left and asked him specifically but he wrote it up as if we caused the problem, which was really disturbing. Why will they write something up saying that it was our fault, which it wasn’t our fault? It doesn’t even make sense to me. We’re taking responsibility for something that we did but if the tech specifically said that there was nothing, that’s totally different from, “Oh yeah, you did something.” That’s crazy.
Another thing is that when I put in a claim and then I don’t need the services after all. I called in and told AHS that I won't be needing the services, and asked them to make sure that the fee is not taken out. I was reassured that it won't be since I canceled the service but they still took it out. I had to end up calling a little bit after that and we had to wait through them reprocessing.

We’ve been super happy with our experience. The only issue that I’ve ever had with American Home Shield and with a contractor was with my fridge. My freezer now works, but they broke the light bulb part on it and they quit responding. I quit trying to fight to get it fixed because at that point, it wasn’t American Home Shield, I was told it was the contractor.
My air conditioner was making a crazy high-pitched squeal sound, and it wasn’t cooling. I called American Home Shield, but I was on hold for awhile so I hung up. Then I remembered I could do it online, and so I did and it gave me this cool thing where you could select somebody. I chose Service One Air ‘cause they had better ratings than the options I saw, and they were out the next day. In fact, they called me back in no time at all. They were out the next afternoon, the tech replaced the fan motor and the capacitor, put everything back together and then he was done. He was really nice. My dog was crazy loud, but he was real calm and easygoing.

I had an issue with a disposal in my basement which was no longer operating. I called American Home Shield and spoke directly to a rep. They sent Prime Plumbing, which I've had before and they were very good. Everything has been fine since. I'm having a little difficulty when speaking with AHS reps though. There seems to be a language barrier. Sometimes, I call late in the evening and get individuals who I can understand a little more clearly. Still, I would recommend AHS.

My refrigerator stopped getting cold on a Friday night, and I called American Home Shield's service line. They gave me the number of the appliance guys and said that they would contact me the next day. The contractor did contact me the next day before 9:00 AM, and that was Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend, but they said they couldn’t get to me until Tuesday. I was kinda upset about that because if it was any other appliance, that would be fine, but you kinda have to go immediately if it's the fridge. So, I told them I was unhappy, but it is what it is. And I hung up. Ten minutes later, he called me back and said he was gonna fit me in that day. And they came around noon the same day, and he fixed it. They were great.
I spoke to the same woman a few times when I called American Home Shield. It was a little bit hard to understand her. And when I asked her a question, I kinda feel like she was reading off a script to give me any answer. She never gave me a direct answer to the question I asked, and I ended up getting very frustrated. This was the only time I've ever made a claim. But I had called American Home Shield once before for a question, and it never seemed to get resolved.

My wife and I have multiple properties. We have American Home Shield and we’ve had it for for close to 20 years now. I’ve had them longer on one of my rental houses which I’ve owned for 40 years. We pay their premiums mostly. But every once in a while, they pay for something. As far as the technicians that arrived, they were all professional and knew their thing. I usually call AHS and their reps would take my inquiry. The reps that I’ve spoken with so far have been fine. They would assign the claim to somebody, the contractor would contact me and then, somebody would come out and then they'd get an approval from AHS.
There was a time when I thought of changing all my policies to another company. Calling on their 800-number and waiting, and waiting, and waiting drove me crazy. I realized so many people are doing everything online but that’s just not me. I’m on the phone all day long and I like talking to people, getting their name and making notes, and have a way of circling back if something good or not so good happens. But they’ve already improved on their wait time which made a big difference. The last four or five times that I’ve called, I hardly had any wait. So, the wait time on the phone have since gone down tremendously and that makes me happy now.
Overall, I can give AHS high marks on their service. I just wish they could figure out my intermittent problem with my air-conditioning unit at my house. It stops pumping cold air and then it starts heating up. It happens on days when we’ve had 110 plus degree weather. So it’s really, really not fun. But every time their contractor would come out, it’s working normally. They sent out the original company, and then they came out two more times. And then, just yesterday, they assigned it to another company, and they came out and looked at it, and it didn’t replicate the problem. If something isn’t broken, they can’t figure out what’s causing it to have a problem intermittently. But I give AHS credit for sending somebody out for four times. I’m happy with how they handled everything.

American Home Shield is the worse warranty company you could find. They do not care about your business or your problems. They only care about you pay in them every month. Called out a technician to fix my washing machine. American Home Shield shipped them the wrong parts. I went for a month without wash machine. When asked about a refund for my deductible they said they don't do that. Their customer service is nonexistent. Begged for a supervisor talk to me. Never received a phone call.

On one of the days, I had a six-hour window and I couldn't tell them I would be there within the given window so they shortened the window for me. They were very accommodating. Everything was good.

I have had a horrible experience with this company. I purchased this warranty when I purchased my new home. I initially submitted a service request on 9/4th after making 3 months of premium payments. The request was for a plumbing issue. I called to check on the service request. My request was cancelled. They could not find a plumber in the Syracuse NY area. Their remedy is for me to find my own plumber, pay for it & they will reimburse. But the the purpose of a home warranty is to ensure that you're not stuck with high out of pocket expenses.
I was not notified that my request was cancelled. They did not find a contractor in 24 hours. My leak is not fixed. They placed me on hold for over 30 minutes. They hung up on me. They charged my account for a service fee after saying it was free. No supervisors or management is there that will resolve issues. Very disappointed in the service and lack of ethics.

I've been with AHS for over a year and I always talk to a representative when I have a claim where I can get a name and a number for the person. And if I have additional questions, they can answer it right then and there. I don't like it when I have to ask the computer a question and it'll be after four days before somebody calls me if they ever call back. When it comes to that, I don't do computers. Whenever I speak with the reps at AHS, they are very polite and very attentive. They'll do whatever they can to get to the repair people and once that part is all clear, then it's up to the repair people. From there, they will send out somebody within two or three days.
Sometimes if they have an earlier schedule, they will put you there as early as possible. But it can go as long as four or five days to get somebody out. It all depends how busy that company is. Then they come and look at it, then they have to order parts and that takes a little while. So, it's a process. AHS needs to do something when it's hard for them to have parts because they're dealing with a massive amount of people with various serial and model numbers for different stuff. But overall, they're doing what the average people do and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
When my washing machine broke down again about two months now, they sent out people to look at it. But they came back and it couldn't be fixed. The motor is no longer in stock and the company doesn't make that model machine anymore. They didn't hesitate and gave me a choice to go and get a brand-new machine of my choice. If it'd be something more elaborate than they covered, then I would have to pay the difference. But I managed to find something that was in their coverage price and it was really a beautiful machine when it came. I was very pleased with it.
Recently, my refrigerator has an issue. Everything in my freezer just freeze up with lots of frost, so three times a day, I have to go in and clean out the frost because hot air is coming in the freezer. I have to keep less food in there, so nothing gets spoiled. I put all the things in there that I'm gonna use that day or the day after, but nothing longer because the gaskets around the fridge door are broken. The gasket is supposed to seal the hot air from coming into the fridge and since the gasket is not there, it's sucking in all the hot air from the outside and causing the fridge to spoil. I've thrown away a lot of stuff already. It's very inconvenient and very frustrating.
I submitted a claim with AHS and they sent out a tech from Rocket Repair but they didn't fix anything. The part that they brought was the wrong one. All the parts for the refrigerator that they purchased was for a different model, not for mine, so nothing fits. They had to take the part back and until now, I'm still waiting. This claim has been open going into about eight weeks now.

American Home Shield's online claims process is good. Their website's pretty straightforward. Douglas Mechanical came out in three days to assess the damage once I got my claim submitted. Now, getting the air conditioner fixed took way longer than I would've liked, especially these were the hottest days of the year. The issue was getting the authorization approved on what needed to be fixed through Douglas Mechanical. That process was a little lengthy for our air conditioner. Douglas told American Home Shield what the issue was and what the fix needed to be. So, I was kinda in limbo. I couldn't get the repairs done without having it approved because I couldn't pay for it out of my pocket.
Once we figured out what was needed to replace, I had somebody that was able to do it a day after that. Once the repairs were approved, then I was able to get it done immediately. Douglas Mechanical was professional. I ended up not going with them because they could not schedule me sooner. But when they came out to assess the damage and give me an update on what was going on, that was all fine and professional. I guess they were too busy, so I had to go with somebody else, and then I got like a cash out on the claim from American Home Shield.

Then it ran for about a week and it was out again and this always happened on a Friday night or Saturday. It ended up being some kind of motor in the furnace that pushes the air to the air conditioner. All of those needed to be fixed.

There was something wrong with the electronics of the dishwasher. It was smoking. The contractor had to replace the whole board. They came back with one board, attempted to replace it, and then that didn’t work so they got another board. That took another week and a half, and then they came in, installed it and it’s been perfect so far. The technicians were not engaging but very detail-oriented on the mission to get accomplished.
It took about 10 days to 12 days to get the first part, place it, and then find out it didn’t work. Then we were in a holding pattern, waiting for American Home Shield to determine if they were gonna make a second attempt to try to replace the board or if they were gonna authorize full replacement of the unit.

I had to file a couple of claims with American Home Shield on my spa. The pole in the middle of the pump snapped off, so the contractor came out and replaced it. I did the claims online. The online process was awesome and the website is really easy to navigate. I had to have two people come out in two separate weeks for two separate incidents. The second guy that came out was awesome. He fixed everything and talked me through what he was doing. The other guy was a little sketchy because I wasn't there after I was told we didn't need to be there, and then he left his trash by my pool pump, but other than that, it was fine. The stuff got fixed, so I was fine with it. The spa is going great, too.

The most recent claim was with the refrigerator, the washer and the dryer, and we did it all in one claim because they’re the same brand. They’re GE appliances. The washer and the dryer were functioning but the contractor had to reset the error codes. That’s the disadvantage of having everything computer-operated. Their codes have to be reset so they’ll function properly. The refrigerator, on the other hand, broke because the blower motor went out and my family has been without a refrigerator for three weeks now. The contractor is going to fix the refrigerator though. They’re coming back on a warranty re-call but American Home Shield is taking care of it. The contractor doesn't get direction unless American Home Shield gives them authorization to work on stuff. I guess they're a good contractor. They’re just doing their job. So far, everything has been great with the AHS claim representatives as well. I usually call the claims in.

This is my first year with American Home Shield and I’ve called them twice in the last few months. One of them was for the cutout valve for the washer and the other was for the line that goes to the ice maker, the pressure for the water to come out when you push the button wasn’t coming out that fast. They resolved those issues. The technicians took care of everything that I needed done. But I had an issue when my hot water heater was leaking and the guy came out.
On the other side of the water heater, the valve had corroded and was stuck. So, while the guy was here looking at the hot water heater part that was leaking, I asked if he could also replace that valve. He told me that it wasn’t covered. I contacted AHS about it and it almost seemed like they said that the technicians would know what is and what isn’t covered. I even contacted the company and asked them why this wouldn’t be covered because to me, it was a normal wear and tear. It froze up because the water should always be going in there. Also from my understanding, plumbing is supposed to be covered. I was told that plumbing on the outside of the house is not covered. But inside, I assumed they would be covered and for whatever reason, they didn’t cover it. I ended up paying my deductible for American Home Shield and then I ended up paying the plumbing company a separate fee to fix it while he was here.

A couple of weeks ago, the door spring of my garage door was broken and should be replaced. I called AHS at the beginning to make sure that the issue is part of my policy and then set an appointment. The contractor came and repaired the door. It was a quick and easy fix. The garage door is doing very good now. So far, everything is fine with AHS. We're paying $500-$600 a year and I'm very happy with their service. The only thing that I didn’t like is paying $70-$80 to have someone come check the stuff and decide if it is part of the policy or not. In my opinion, if you have an insurance it should cover the issues. So, I wasn’t very impressed by that. Nonetheless, the customer service and repair was supreme. I would definitely recommend AHS to other people. The system is perfect.

We've been paying on an AHS home warranty for eight years. We've had to use it twice. The first was a broken water heater. They did repair that, but that was several years ago. I've had the same flooding problem twice in two months. The first time, I called AHS, and they got a contractor out the following day. He said he repaired the problem, but the same flooding occurred again this month. We have damage to drywall in the back of the house and our garage, as well as ruined wood in the garage. After calling them for the second flood, they assigned the same plumber to come again and fix the problem. The plumber was over-booked and couldn't come for two days, so I had to hire my own plumber. I paid $500 to fix the problem out of my own pocket.
After my own plumber came out, the assigned contractor called me to see if the problem had been fixed or they needed to leave me on the schedule. The contractor informed me that AHS has strict guidelines with how repairs may be made by the contractors. They must gain approval from the from the warranty company before making any repairs, and if there's even a minor discrepancy in the wording about the problem from the initial call to contractor resolution, they will refuse to pay the contractor for their work. They allow the contractor only to do the bare minimum to put a bandaid on the problem instead of fixing issues the proper way.
This company is, for lack of a better word, a scam and should be investigated by the BBB based on the information I got from one of their service providers. I canceled my contract with them and advise everyone else to do the same. There are far better warranty companies out there that stand by their contract and make repairs in a timely fashion and the right way. AHS is NOT one of them.
Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your feedback, I apologize that your experience with AHS was not satisfactory, Have a good day.

We made a claim on a Monday morning. No Technicians were available in Oklahoma City until Thursday which is nonsense. Oklahoma has incredible temperature extremes, so air conditioning contractors are plentiful here. We spoke with a representative of the warranty company that went on to tell my wife that the high was 75 for the day and they could not get a technician out to us. This is Oklahoma in September were the heat index still gets into 100 degree range.
Warranty Representatives were not local and left my wife on the phone for over an hour. They continued to argue until we gave up and waited for the Technician to come out 3 days later. Technician came out, informed us that it was our compressor and we would have to wait 5 to 10 days for American Home Shield to ship the parts and the contractor to put them in. Speaking with American Home Shield they were unsympathetic with the the fact that our house hits 90 degrees each day. They refused to expedite shipping on parts or reimburse me for the window unit that I personally had to buy and install into my house to ensure my two dogs were not hurt due to the extreme heat of the house.

I called 4/11/19, 4/19, 4/28, 5/2, 5/3, 6/17, 8/12, 8/13 and 9/13 for AC repairs. Dispatch ticket number **. My ac was not working instead of calling me back when I was told I would receive a return call from the Escalation dept in 24-48 hrs. On 8/12 & 8/13 I asked to have my own person to come in because the unit keeps leaking water on the floors in the laundry room, bathroom and now 15 ft into the living room and having mold growing up the wall. I was told the same line over and over. The tenant has children and that the floor was damaged and there was mold that had to be cleaned up (even though I know that's responsibility). I dont want to keep having the cost. AHS NEVER offered to allow me to get my own contractor, never offered to get Sears or a local reputable company in the area and never had a supervisor call me back. To this day NO ONE called back.
I called again today. Finally another guy said I can fax in a request for reimbursement. This is totally and undeniably a real problem that warrants attention from UPPER Management. I ONLY SEE FAVORABLE REVIEWS. I know there's been complaints! My ELDERLY parents were duped out off $3000 from a contractor through AHS. The fire dept had to come out to their house and put out a fire from their new unit installed by AHS contractors. When we called AHS to tell what the fire Dept and the county office reported they could care less. My parents had to ask the contractor for a receipt. They noticed the contractor charged them for 3 $300 permits ($900 total) when he only paid for 2 and only needed 2 for the job. He charged them $600 for a electrician.
When the work was complete my parents asked who was the electrician that he had to come out to do the work he said he was. Then the fire started and was directly from the installation of the a/c unit. In my opinion AHS would have been responsible for any deaths of family members in that house along with that contractor. In 1 week I'm going to report this to the Attorney General if no one follows up on this issue. I'm also going on every website (Yelp, Google, etc) that I can find to leave a review detailing our experience.

I requested the service online. Since there is no option to explain exactly what I need which is multiple outlets that are not working, I chose "no electricity in area of the home". When the technician arrived he look at all the outlets that needs to be fixed. There was one GFCI outlet that needed to be reset. That took care of the bathroom outlets, but other areas he checked did not work. After he called the company they told him not to do anything else because there was request for one service. Does that mean I need to request special service request for each single electrical outlet!! I called them and they said they are sorry but I have to make another service request which is another 100$. Awful experience. This is not service. This is stealing and rip off.

I have made several attempts to cancel my contract since we found a much better and flexible company. We haven't used our warranty coverage, at all. As I put in a request to cancel coverage, I was sent an email, requesting that I pay fees. I don't see why it is necessary for us to pay AHS more money in order to cancel a contract, when you're already keeping the money that we've paid! Our monthly fees are not going towards fixing our home, nor will the total amount be refunded to us, so why must I pay more? I could see if you gave me equipment and services, like a cable company, but that's not the case at all! This is definitely a key topic, that MUST be discussed, during the initial quote phone call.

The reps at American Home Shield are helpful to get a claim processed and taken care of. Although I still like to talk to a person, I’m getting more used to filing a claim online. It is easy and it was online that I submitted this claim for the washer. But the first vendor that American Home Shield contracted with couldn’t come out for a whole week. They said that they only come to my area twice a week. So I had to call the warranty company back and let them know, and they were prompt to send somebody else out.
The person from Reliable Property Solutions came out the next day and it was great. He knew right away what the problem was. They had to order a part and because they had to wait for it to come in, I had to wait another week for them to come out and repair it. But the technician was very quick and efficient. He was great in getting the washer all fixed for me and it’s working great now.

We've had American Home Shield since July of this year. Our experience with a claim was good. The main line on the outside in the front yard backed up all the way into the house. It was an emergency so I submitted the claim online, but I didn't get a response within the next day. The online submission was pretty easy, but I didn't know how long it was gonna take. I called in ‘cause my kid’s couldn't take a shower or anything. The representative over the phone was professional. They cancelled the online order and the person on the phone set it up as an emergency. The contractor checked it and he said that if it was backed up at all location in the house, it was backed up in the main line. So, he came out and cleaned it out. It has been good since he did. He was pretty professional. He came in and got the job done really quick.

I had a refrigerator repaired about two weeks ago, and the same problem came back up. So I just called American Home Shield to reschedule with the same company, which is Vector Appliances. The reps knew exactly who it was and got it all done. The contractor came right on time and got everything done. I'm overall happy with AHS. But sometimes it's a little bit too corporate. About five weeks ago, I called in, and the company they gave me didn't even exist anymore. And then, that turned into my problem because they weren't showing up. So then, I couldn't get AHS to send another company out. They said, "We can't send you one out until that company contacts you because it's assigned with them." So we waited for three weeks. American Home Shield and I couldn't get ahold of them. But in American Home Shield's system, if that ever happens, that turns into their customer's problem.
I couldn't stop calling back, saying that I'm paying American Home Shield, I'm not paying the vendor to come out to work on my refrigerator. And then three weeks later, they finally gave me a different company, and they came out within hours. And there's no timeframe for that contractor to come out. So once it's assigned to them, it's assigned to them. And they can't reassign it until they come and look at it. So the only way they can reassign it is if that company comes out to look at the refrigerator, and then they can't fix it, or they say it's something and you want a second opinion or something.
Overall AHS has been great. But it hasn't been just smooth. And then, the other thing I don't like is they have different call centers, and I have no access to know which call center it is. Some call centers have more power than other ones. There are ones that are just like, they can just press a button and that's it, and other ones can actually help you with the problem. Sometimes people, when they work in big businesses, they don't do anything to cross the line, they just do whatever so they can keep their job.
But then, sometimes the customer, in this case myself, I stick them in that specific situation because I'm trying to explain something. They understand, but instead of doing the right thing, they just don't wanna go cross and lines and lose their job, and then I wasn't getting what I'm paying for. And if I'm trying to explain what they're doing wrong, there's nowhere to go and explain in it and get the job done. And I don't have time to just randomly start calling American Home Shield and giving my own surveys.

My AC unit went down. I called American Home Shield and Action Air Conditioning and Heating got out here. It took them two to three days for the whole process to play out, and then they fixed the AC. The contractors were good and the AC has been working fine. American Home Shield is not bad. I called them before and was gonna use them. Luckily, when the AC went out, it wasn't peak of the season, and it still was a two to three day delay. But when I called them in the peak of the season the previous year, they told me they had to send a company from Florida, and that it was gonna be like five or some days. I was like, "Man, I can't do that." I had a young child, and at that time, my wife was nine months pregnant. It was like right about the time to give birth and the AC went out. I ended up having to just pay out of pocket to see it through.
When you pay that warranty, I guess you assume that if you have a problem, you’re gonna get a little bit better of a response time. Then you’re kinda stuck to using them if it’s something serious because you paid all this money into the warranty. You paid for the thing so if something happens, it’s available to be used. It's unfortunate. It's just that they're a big company and they only have so many vendors in the area. And that was probably the worst time of the year to call for an air conditioner call. I'm a contractor myself. I understand when it's busy, it's busy and you could only do so much. AHS had to be able to work on improving something and to have better options. I live in South Carolina and my first option was one state away, which is really only an hour drive. Then my second option was two states away. It was unfortunate that there was no one in my area that could have attended to me a little quicker.

They basically said it would be better to replace the whole unit and that’s what happened. They brought a brand new unit in, installed it and did a great job. I really appreciated it. They were courteous and professional too. They pulled the unit out, actually got it on a dolly and got it out of the house, no problem. They also cleaned up after they did the install. It all went well.

My hot water heater was leaking. I called American Home Shield about it and the contractors came out. They saw that the thing was leaking and they said that AHS would have to order the hot water heater, and when it came in, then they could come by and put it on. They also told me that I needed $404 worth of upgrades to make it up-to-date to what the standards are today. And that I would need to pay that once they come out to replace the hot water heater. The hot water heater took forever to come in. After two or three weeks, I called AHS and asked them if it came in yet. They said that it just came in that day and that somebody would be out to put it in. It was a long time in between because it was leaking, and I didn’t want 50 gallons of water on my floor.
The contractor that came out was very friendly. But as soon as he walked in the house he asked me is, “Do you have $404?” I said, "This is the third time you guys have asked me that. Why are you asking me again?” He said, “This is what I’m supposed to do.” I now have a brand new water heater. It works and it’s not leaking. So far, my experience with American Home Shield is okay, it's mostly technical. I would recommend them.

I’m a manager for a property. The homeowner and myself filed a claim to American Home Shield regarding an electric issue. Everything went fine. They sent a great technician, and all is well. The tenants had no problem. The only thing is when we have an issue about something, AHS never seem to resolve it right away. They kept sending the same person. This happened too with the refrigerator. You never could get to a manager. They try everything in their power not to go to a manager. You stay on the phone for a long time holding on, then the phone hangs up, and it goes all over again. So, the experience with American Home Shield has been horrible.

The claim for the garbage disposal was done over the phone and the American Home Shield rep was good. The following week, the tech from Joy Plumbing came out and he was awesome. He was very professional and cool. I was home by myself but I felt real comfortable with him. He came right in, talked to me and worked. He was outta here in 15 minutes, 20 minutes top.

My refrigerator was a little too warm. It would cool vegetable, but my milk kept going bad in it the week before the expiration date which was probably indicative that something was wrong. I ended up calling the claim in and got an AHS customer service person. They were able to get information and entered it in for me. Vector Appliances serviced my refrigerator.
The technician tried to do his job, but he just seemed like was having a bad day or something. He wasn’t horrible nor did he do anything terrible or rude, his tone was just a little short. He looked at the fridge and I left him alone while he was doing the fridge thing. Afterwards, he said that it was missing a part and he didn't have it. He had to go and get it and just left. But the refrigerator was definitely colder, but it was so cold that things were starting to freeze inside my fridge instead. So whatever the part that he needed to get, it had something to do with this. I waited for a week and a half and then I ended up calling in. The lady who was answered for the company was really nice. She said that they got the part and that they could get someone out here.
When they replaced the part, I had to clean up my whole fridge ‘cause things were defrosting in there, and then the water started running. Then the inside of my refrigerator was starting to get a little flooded. During the time when things were freezing in my refrigerator, my water dispenser stopped working. I had to call again that and they had to send someone else out again and they figured out that whenever it froze, it cracked something inside the refrigerator. So I had to wait a little while longer for them to get another part and replace it.
Now, my refrigerator’s working great, but it was a multi-step kind of experience to get it to that point. This situation had its own little inherent problems. In the solving of the problem, everyone was very professional, helpful and they did the best they can. I also wasn't charged every time I had to call them back in to fix stuff. It was an ongoing problem and it was taken care of.

The AC was not cooling properly and I submitted the claim online to American Home Shield. The contractor came out when they said they were gonna come out.

The pump that takes the water out for the condensation was really yucky and dirty. And then the line that moves the water from the AC unit itself down through the line was backed up and clogged. American Home Shield sent out Ambient Air and they were awesome. I actually called the contractor before they had a chance to call me, and they were out the next day. And that’s not common here. Sometimes, here, we'd get, “Yeah, we can be there in a week.” Whatever date he'd come out to fix it. But the fact that we live in Tucson, Arizona where it’s really, really hot, AHS's contractor was able to get out. The guy was really amazing. It was kind of that situation where repair wasn’t necessary, in the sense it’s something that I could’ve taken care of. But the tech was great.
The tech showed what the problem was and said, "Going forward, if you have this issue, here are little things you can do. If it doesn’t work, call us back and we’ll come out.” He knew exactly what the problem was within the first two minutes of me telling him what was going on. I was hoping though that the AC would get a little boost and work a bit more efficiently, but I haven’t had a single problem. In fact, when he got there, my house was 85, 90 degrees-ish. And within an hour of the guy leaving, my house was already rapidly cooling down.
Right now, I have a weird pay going on at my work so I wasn’t able to make my monthly payment right away like I had wanted to. The person I talked to on the phone was great with understanding it. I was told, “If you don’t pay it by this date, that’s when your coverage is 100% termed and you have to start all over,” which I actually need to update my payment. I had to take it off of an auto-withdraw because of my work schedule. Nevertheless, I’ve told both my parents they need to sign up for AHS with our house.

When I originally signed up with AHS, they told me the price would never go up but every year, I have to call them and tell them it’s going up, and they kinda just blow me off. Nevertheless, when I called American Home Shield to submit a claim, everything went great. I have used the contractor before and the interactions have been very good. They had somebody in the past that I really didn’t care for so I asked not to have that one.

American Home Shield came with the house we bought a house. The house requires a lot of work so we're using AHS to its fullest extent. A number of people from a number of different services have come out in the last month and all of them have been great. The only one we really had a problem with was Temprite, the HVAC people, and it wasn't them themselves. I believe AHS forgot about us. We have a very old HVAC system and they had to fabricate a part. Two weeks went by when I finally called and asked them what was going on. They said they finished their job with us, which they did not. They did come out since then, and it's finished now, but at the time, we were hanging around in limbo waiting to see what would happen.
So far, I'm pleased with AHS and we fully intend to reup when the year is over. Their service is comprehensive and I don't need to worry. For the amount that it's gonna cost to reup, I know that for the following year, anything that goes wrong is mostly covered. AHS has been very efficient on the phone. Their reps have been very quick to send somebody to see the claim and then quick to assign some workman to the claim. So, everything is happening the way it should. I have recommended it to some of my friends.

Our AC unit stopped blowing cold air and it was making a very loud groaning noise. We turned it off until we could get one of the repairmen out here to have it fixed. My husband called in the claim and got through an interactive system. A lot of times, we don't get a human and it is frustrating for him because he has to go through the prompts. When he gets a hold of a rep, as with any call system nowadays, a lot of that have been farmed out to other countries. So when you get a person, English is not their native language and sometimes it is very hard to understand them.
On the claim, there were two contractors who came out. They asked us to turn the system on, and it came on and groaned. They figured it out, and they were able to fix it. It was very nice. They were very helpful and very prompt. American Home Shield is true to their word. Their price is also reasonable, and they have a quick turnaround time. Our AC is cooling nice and well, especially in this hot Georgia weather.

We called for repair for our central AC on 08/13/19 and paid our service fee. On 08/15/19 the AHS contractor came to our home and looked at our unit. He left no paperwork. He called the next day to say he would need $1200 - $1500 to remove oil furnace and place it in our courtyard to evaluate the AC repair. I asked if the charge included replacing our oil furnace and he said: "No, we don't work on oil furnaces". I immediately called AHS and requested another contractor. On 08/19/19 their 2nd contractor came out. He wrote up a report and had me sign it. We agreed to remove some drywall so he could have clear access to the AC. This has been done. The 2nd contractor finally emailed me on 09/10/19 to tell he he hasn't responded to my calls or email because AHS has not approved his repair order.
I call AHS for updates daily. Every day they tell me they have to contact the 2nd contractor and give them 24 hours. Most days I am on hold for 20 - 40 minutes and then disconnected. I have kept records of all calls and AHS personnel names, what was said & how long these calls took. In the meantime, in FL my AC is broken for a month tomorrow and no one at AHS will help me. We have had a contract with AHS for over 10 years and previous to this experience have been pleased with the service.

Updated on 10/28/2019: They are still a fraud! Do not buy a warranty from them! AHS sent another technician out after I submitted a bad review, and he stated some part I can't pronounce, (some kind of coil) needed to be replaced as well as the entire unit outside. AHS still refuses to fix the AC unit after the initial work order was submitted. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH AHS.
Original Review: I purchased their home warranty and when the AC went out, the company they sent said the unit needed to be replaced. AHS keeps saying they never received the report saying it needed to be replaced. Now every time I call AHS they say they will call me back and never do, or they put me on hold and hang up on me. I've called at least 7 or 8 times!!

I have tried for over a week to get my "covered" refrigerator repaired with AHS and the vendor they selected, Sharper Service. I live in Spokane WA and the vendor is from Oregon. First AHS contacted a vendor who never called. They made no effort to follow up and make sure their vendor contacted me. I finally called them back and they assigned a new vendor (Sharper Service). The tech they sent had a bad back and could do virtually nothing.
A few days later they sent another tech who had to have the first tech meet him to figure out what was wrong and parts needed to fix it. The parts were ordered and a date for the following Thursday to do the repair. The parts are all here at my house but now the tech is out sick and no one else can do the work according to AHS. I have paid the service call fee and the warranty was prepaid - but no service has taken place. I can't get anyone at AHS to get this resolved. I just left a voicemail for Rex Tibbens president of AHS and he had not responded either. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON A WARRANTY FROM AHS.

We purchased a home and we had our locks rekeyed through American Home Shield. I got spare keys as well. The contractor was great. It took a while for him to rekey everything because we had two different lock types and he went and bought locks and just charged me what the locks cost and rekeyed them. We did the claim over the phone. The AHS rep was wonderful. For some reason, and it may be my fault, it wouldn’t take our debit card when we were processing the payment. I tried it twice, my debit card and my wife’s, and I finally ended up using a credit card. I got emails that it hadn’t been paid and I'm freaking out with that, but I used the credit card and everything went through fast.

I was told this was a good company for home warranty. My A/C otherwise known as my HVAC system...HVAC (Heating ventilation air conditioning) appeared to not be working well when it came to cooling our home. I called them, paid the $125 service fee and they had someone come out a few days later. So far so good. He worked on the AC unit and found some minor problems and corrected them and left. The next day our house was somewhat cooler but still not right. By the 3rd day it was back to the way it was before the service call.
Called them again and they set up another appointment and the same tech came out. He looked things over and said it all looked good. I suggested checking the ventilation under the house. Bingo! Some of it had come detached. The tech said the work order was only for the A/C and we would have to have AHS submit a work order to have them work on the ventilation. So we did. Called them I did. They said NO problem. NO new service charge was needed. They tried to call them to set up an appointment but they were closed. They said they would call them and get back with me.
Well some time had passed with no calls. Then when I was out of state they tried to reach me. I was unable to take the call. I called a couple days later. They said they would contact the service company to have them come out. The service company called me the same day and said the work order was for the A/C unit and not the ventilation. I called AHS and they said that because the tech WASHED my coils it was considered a repair (who knew that washing was a repair? I repair my SUV weekly I guess) and therefor the work order has been completed. For them the send out another tech to work on the ventilation they would need to create a NEW work order and charge me ANOTHER $125.
After arguing with the person on the other end (ever call has been answered by a woman somewhere in the Orient or Philippines) I asked to speak with a supervisor. Never got one. Was transferred to someone who handles "escalated calls". After a lot of back and forth she told me because I initially called in to complain about my A/C not working then the work order was for ONLY the A/C unit. NOT THE ENTIRE HVAC system. After much bickering back and forth and because they found where I was told there would be no service fee...she said they would not charge one but still wanted my cc info. They have it on file and will use that but assured me that no fee would be applied. We shall wait and see.
So supposedly I will be contacted by the service company to set up an appointment. My advice to you if you use this company and have a "repair" try washing it first...no really...I would be vague as in what the problem is so they can't pigeon hole you into 1 item in what might be just a small unit of a bigger system or problem.

I had a gas leak in my furnace at my rental in Columbus, Ohio. The gas company came out, confirmed that the issue was a gas leak and shut off the gas to the furnace. I called American Home Shield to do a claim and they sent a company out. That company said that they weren't gonna fix my furnace and that I should call them in the fall. That was not acceptable so I had AHS get me a second opinion.
Foxcroft HVAC called to let me know that they had been asked to do the job. Their tech asked me what had transpired prior to him being called for a second opinion. I asked him to call my tenant directly so that they could match their schedules. Foxcroft also asked us to wait for a little bit because they were dealing with a lot of high temperatures and air conditioning going out. They asked me if I minded if it waited. I didn’t mind, and my tenants didn’t mind because the air conditioning at my house was working. They came out as scheduled and took care of my problem. Their tech was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Now, everything’s working again. If I have another furnace situation, I'm gonna ask for Foxcroft. I have three homes and I have American Home Shield on all three properties. As a real estate agent, I rarely ever recommend anybody else.
