    No resolution to getting A/C repaired after multiple calls to AHS. No one will call us back from American Home Shield to get the A/C repaired. Brand new unit installed a year ago, by contractor through American Home Shield. Faulty wiring has caused unit to fail and no longer work. Called for repair assistance through American Home Shield almost two weeks ago, technician came to inspect the unit, make a diagnosis, and still no repairs have taken place. It will be almost 100 degrees this weekend and no service, or call backs from American Home Shield to get unit repaired... Keep getting the runaround, put on hold for over an hour per call to them, and they keeping saying the same thing, a representative will call you back with 48 hours... No call back from American Home Shield after we have repeatedly and desperately tried to get American Home Shield through multiple calls to arrange and get the unit repaired.

    On August 27, 2019, I placed a service request with AHS because both of our air conditioning units on the roof had gone out. They are at least 24 years old and had come to the end of their days. The contractor AHS dispatched said both machines had been so badly serviced from a prior calls that he deemed them too dangerous to open the side panels and look inside. He filed his report and AHS "denied it." What does that mean, what happens next? The company said I would have to call AHS to find out what happens next. I called the 800 number and got a call center in the Philippines. English was the gentleman's second language; he spent an hour alternately trying to understand my issue and putting me on hold. Then the call got disconnected.

    I called back. No, I could not be connected with the person I had spoken with, I was to start all over with another man for whom English is a second language. It was an endless loop, a way to deny the customer any favorable resolution. Yesterday was Day 9 without AC so I called a very reliable company in town and paid them to install two new units on the roof. I had no other choice. It is 110 outside in Phoenix, AZ and it's close to that in the house. People die in this kind of heat. We are shopping for a new home warranty company. Our experience with the AHS process is that it is structured to fail the customer.

    I filed a claim with AHS and the first person said it was the electrical, but it was not. It’s the air conditioner. It’s been several times I’ve had someone out, and it’s still not fixed. The breaker keeps throwing, so I’m just assuming that it’s some kinda failsafe thing. The last person that came, they changed the breaker. But it’s still doing the same thing. But they're coming back out tomorrow. They’ve been awesome. I would recommend AHS.

    We've been with American Home Shield for a couple years now and I've recommended them several times. We had an appliance claim and the experience was fine. Our oven wouldn’t heat up and AHS couldn't get parts for it so we got a drop-in oven. Our interaction with the contractor was fine. He was professional and courteous. It’d be a lot easier though if I interacted with whoever. But my husband didn't have any complaints about it and he’s particular, so I assume everything went just fine.

    I filed a claim with American Home Shield for our air conditioner. They sent someone to fix it supposedly. And the next day, it broke again. Then we had to wait the whole weekend before anybody came out, and then they fixed it. They had to replace the motor. The contractor was fantastic with their professionalism and the way they kind of talked you through it. They literally was showing me what was wrong.

    We’ve been with American Home Shield since ’09. The only thing I don’t like is how we have to go through a whole process. Like one time with the plumbing, we had to get a new faucet, we ended up getting a piece of junk faucet instead of what we originally had. So, I wasn’t too pleased with that, but I don’t know if that was because of the plumber or AHS.

    The problem started with my AC. It was working very minimum. Then we started to have a problem with the electricity. The breakers would go off every time the was AC working. The weather was very hot and then my electricity went off. This happened many times. I also had a problem with my computer. We fixed the electricity back and everything was very well. Then when I got back from Mexico, my two refrigerators were off and all my food was bad. American Home Shield tried to fix them but everything would take days for a person to come out.

    Every time I need to call American Home Shield, I need to wait more than one hour for the person to communicate with me. But that person who answered me in the phone was very nice. We got it that day and they needed some part for the refrigerator, so we had to wait a week. The doors on the refrigerator had to be kept open because it smell bad. Then the part came and we had a person came out. When he tried to close the refrigerator, the door would not close. They tried to find the door for it, but they saw that the refrigerator needed to be replaced.

    It took many days to wait and I also tried to call the department to replace the refrigerator. But, American Home Shield is going to replace the refrigerator for my home. They also gave me a good option for the replacement, but I told them that I'd prefer to buy the refrigerator myself because if I were to replace it, I'd prefer to choose a better size I had before. I have the model already. They told me I need to buy it and send them the receipt. Overall, I am so happy with American Home Shield.

    The very first time I filed a claim to American Home Shield for this unit, I did it over the phone but the second and third time was done online when I requested another technician to come over. Their claim process was horrible. The contractor that they sent out couldn’t fix the issue from the very first visit. They had to come three times and that speaks how professional they are. Also, the communication was very bad, I had to wait a whole week for every visit. The contractors come out with different decisions that are not fixing the issue. Finally, they figured out that the drip pan needs to be replaced because it has cracked and it's leaking from there. They just didn’t want to go all the way through. It’s super easy to understand and to fix, I just don’t understand their logic. The problem is still not resolved and it’s taking three weeks now so I’m still working with the contractor. It’s the worst service ever.

I had to file another claim because the first organization said that they had nothing to do with it because it was a different issue, because they had fixed the toilet and it was the water heater that went.

They had the booties on their feet, they were polite, and they knew what the problem was. They couldn’t fix it and that was not their fault, but they couldn’t have been nicer about it. It turned out to be a bigger problem. Still, American Home Shield saved me so much money. They are professional and polite too, and I will never ever not have a home warranty after this and never not them. I signed up for another year, and I will have it every year while I own this home.

    My sister has been using American Home Shield since they bought the house in ’94. She told me about them back in Colorado and we’ve been using them since 2011. Every time we buy a house, we always go with American Home Shield. There was a time when my husband wanted to try a certain company that his friend talked to him about that was way cheaper. We had one thing that we needed to get done. But it was one of those instances where the home warranty company couldn't find anyone and we had to do it ourselves then they would reimburse us. In the end, we were told that the work was not one that they had us covered for. After that one incident, we went back to American Home Shield.

    Our most recent claim with them went really well. The contractor, 1st Choice Appliance Repair, came in earlier. When you're given a four-hour window, I like it when someone actually comes on the first hour rather than the last hour. The contractor this time was very timely and was very friendly. He told me what was wrong with the machine, showed me where it was and what needed to be replaced. I was there the whole time. We were just talking.

    The only thing is since we just moved to this house, there’s always a conflict when I'm doing my claims online. It goes to the old owner’s contract number. I did an online claim the first time with our toilet and I ended up calling American Home Shield. I hope that they fixed it like they said they would where when I do a claim online, it would now be under our name as opposed to the old owner’s name. I spoke to a couple of different people at American Home Shield and it was fine. They weren't that hard to understand but it was kinda hard to explain because they were calling me Joan which is the old owner's name. I told them that was not me and that was what the confusion was. I think the old owner got a call and she canceled it. She told them she doesn't live there. But American Home Shield called me saying that they fixed the problem.

    Generally, I submit my claims online to American Home Shield. It’s very easy, seamless and efficient. I had a problem with the filter for my pool and I’m disappointed that the part they replaced was not the brand that was there. The front half of the pump is beige and the motor is black. It’s not matching and the motor that was on there was a Pentair. It’s the best quality pool part that you can purchase and the last time the pump failed several years ago, I replaced it with Pentair because I did a research on it, and that’s what all the commercial pools use. When you go to all these resorts, that’s the brand that they use. It also lasted a lot longer than the original pump. I’m just wondering why it wasn’t replaced with the brand that failed. Still, in this recent claim, the contractor did a wonderful job and the quality of workmanship was very good. Overall, I’m very satisfied and I recommend AHS constantly.

    I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for the AC and the previous time, I was out of air conditioning upstairs for a week and a half so, that was frustrating. The contractor said they were waiting for a part but with the technology that we have these days, they should be sent overnight. I got kids and animals, and it was just miserable. In North Carolina, weather is humid and hot all the time, especially in August and July. I called AHS and asked if they could contact another company but they said no.

    This second time was probably the best service I had from the contractor. They came out the next day. Before, it was hit or miss. They never called me to let me know that it was gonna be there in a certain time. I had to call them to find out what was going on. I called where it was sent from and UPS said they already sent it out and it has been there for a day. I called back the AC people and told them that and they said that they just found out about it. So, this time, the communication was good. Prior to that, it was terrible.

    I've had two claims recently that I did right in the same week. I have one with the AC repair and one with a dryer, and I submitted the claims on the website. The AC just wasn’t cooling. I called and the contractor came out two days later to repair it. They said everything was repaired and that everything else was good but everything worked good for five days then it went out again. So I called them that following Tuesday and they came out last Thursday. It was a re-call and they said that I need a compressor.

    It’s been a hassle with American Home Shield. I was calling because I’m in Texas and it’s hot. It’s 87 degrees. I was on hold with them forever yesterday. It was like 30 minutes and after being on hold, they said that they had 900 other claims in front of me and that as soon as the claim is approved, they would order the part. I also called back the company that they contracted with. They told me that American Home Shield had not authorized the part yet. So the company is getting one part and American Home Shield is getting another part but I have to wait until those other 900 people. American Home Shield is not gonna authorize me to get anything so I’m not too pleased with them right now. And it takes three to five days for the part to come in.

    For the dryer, the contractor came out last Tuesday then they had to order a part. The part came in and they were supposed to come out today but I had a meeting so I rescheduled the service for tomorrow to fix the heating element and something else. The contractors sent by American Home Shield are average. I’m not totally satisfied because I always have to put in a model number and they never guarantee they have the part. That means you have to take off two half-days. I don’t always have time for people to tell me to wait from 1:00 to 5:00 or 8:00 to 12:00. The company that was sent out for the AC seemed good at first too, but I don’t know why they didn't realize the issue was the compressor the first time they came out. Then I had to wait 30 more minutes on a supervisor to come to try to sell me a new unit.

    I bought my home in June 2018. By July I was calling about the AC unit not working downstairs. The unit is 29 years old and the home came with AHS warranty. The first call I made on my own because of timing of a holiday weekend and I work out of state most of the time. The next issue came 10/15/18 and that was the furnace also 29 years old making a strange noise only part of the time. AHS sent out a company that did nothing--said they couldn't find anything wrong. Next issue 11/16/18 toilet upstairs would not flush. He got it working but it didn't work long. They sent someone out who said he thought it would be ok (put a band-aid) on it basically. Next issue was toilet stuck running causing me to have an $800.00 water bill because again I am out of town working.

    I got tired of AHS charging me $75.00 every few months so I had the toilets replaced and paid for it myself. On 12/7/18 had to have them back out for same furnace which was not working at all. They got it working. On 4/22/19 no AC again, same unit, put another band-aid on it. 8/30/19 I called and they set up a company to come out but couldn't come until 9/5/19. I told them it had to be Saturday 8/31 because I would be gone again 9/3/19. They said they would keep trying. Didn't hear anything so I had my own company come out and it had to be replaced. Still heard nothing until Tuesday when I got a message from who they had setup and could come 9/5/19 which I had already told them I could not wait that long. I told them I had taken care of it myself to cancel.

    I called AHS to speak to a manager and was on hold for 30 minutes. Couldn't stay on all day. Well they went ahead and charged the $75.00 even though I cancelled. They did however refund that when I called yet again. The reason I am writing this is because from my experience and that of a friend who uses AHS it appears that all they want to do is a quick fix that ends up costing the homeowner more in fees so they don't have to replace a 29 year old unit when it is clear it's not going to work any longer.

    Updated on 12/25/2019: I previously posted about my experience trying to have a simple leaky valve on a shower fixed by resorting to my warranty policy. The experience has been a nightmare, and after some offer of help on the part of the company, their representatives have vanished like their crooked contractor -- gone, radio silence. So, to reiterate for anyone considering buying this policy to protect, say, a new home for the first year after purchase: this warranty is worth nothing. The contractor was sent from 1.5 hrs away; he misdiagnosed the leak and went away. After a month, with new damage appearing, called back. Contractor saw and admitted mistake; saw mold damage; panicked, presumably from fear of liability, and disappeared.

    My attempts to get AHS to make this right have been futile. Their second contractor, a second opinion I was charged another $75 for, concluded that the first contractor made a misdiagnosis. In the interim, I was stuck paying for my own plumber to shut off the leak, and my own contractor to fix ceiling damage. I paid $700 for damage from the problem, the problem itself being fixable under warranty, supposedly for the $75 initial fee. The really insulting thing from a customer relations standpoint is that when I finally got through to representative, Steve **, I was told that I had indeed been seriously wronged by this contractor, and that Mr. ** was "going to work with me." He has also disappeared, after countless unanswered calls and emails.

    Unlike a homeowners' insurance policy, where you may not get the settlement you want, but the company is available to explain and document the situation, even negotiate, AHS just disappears. Scary. And I have no recourse (small claims?) against their plumber. A simple Yelp search on that plumber ("More than Plumbing" in Mt St. Clemens, MI) reveals outright fraud, and many complaining precisely that their warranty company, AHS, sent these guys from far away to basically destroy their house.

    In short, no oversight and accountability over their contractors. You are at the mercy of the one they send to you; and if the guy is incompetent or a crook, you don't get any support. Zero. Beware of this warranty. They've unilaterally closed my claim, I guess, after I asked for more documentation. Without explaining. The dispatch was **, when it was reopened by Steve ** at customer service. He's never followed up with me to explain how it was resolved. Original post on this site: Consumer Affairs Post- AHS AC# - **.

    Original Review: Bought a new house and took out a ShieldPlus policy with AHS. Leak sprang from shower and I called, paid my $75, and I saw a plumber, their contractor of course, within a few days. Then it got scary. Their contractor misdiagnosed the leak. After 6 weeks, their contractor admits that it was a misdiagnosis, and works with AHS to correct the record. But, I'm told, misdiagnosis is not covered by my policy.

    The problem is that in the meantime, major secondary problems arise: mold, a damaged ceiling below, and it turns out that AHS, upon getting a second opinion, will fix the leak, but won't cover the modification to the pipes that is necessary part of the job. So, I am a person who tried to use my policy for the first time on July 31, 2019. Instead of getting it resolved, I got lots of new, expensive problems, and danger for my infant son sleeping, unsuspectingly, next to all the mold that they failed to identify, let alone catch.

    After the Aug. 2 misdiagnosis (triple-confirmed by plumbers, including the original contractor), I saw the same leak come back with force on August 27, which was when I saw it break open again and re-opened my claim (dispatch 522 201 942). The only problem is, now I have thousands of dollars of damage resulting from the original mis-diagnosis. You would think that AHS would be in some sense liable, or would help with some of this. I am told that my contract waives all liability for contractor mistakes. According to AHS, they're out of it. So, you call them, they force their contractor on you, and they have no say what happens.

    So, if you think that you can rely on them and their contractors to, between the two of them, do the job without major new problems arising that AHS will tell you are yours to pay for, revise that thought. It seems impossible to get documentation from them on what has transpired, but I plan to file a complaint with the Department of Insurance and Financial Services here in Michigan.

But then I called them and they stated that I never cancelled my policy. As much of a lie it is, the original policy I had was on my then California home and NOT on my Nevada home. So the old policy does not in any way applies to the new home since I did not request it, I did not authorize them to use my credit card. Also, when I called their department, the guy on the phone, Richard, said "If you don't have a policy with us why do we have your account information?"

(Still have to pay 125 regardless if they do anything or not.) They then give me a quote for coolant. I called and AHS said I would have to pay out of pocket cause it wasn't covered since it wasn't a hardware issue. So I paid, it didn't fix the problem. So I put in another service request.

I called, said they would cover 400 dollars of the 5500 the guy quoted. So this time I called my own AC tech. Came out, inspected it and said a new unit would be better, but cleaned my coils and it worked much better.

    A month later I used him to install a new unit for 3800 instead of 5500 (same unit, I checked) that the AHS sent. SO HORRIBLE RIGHT? Well my hot water heater busted and leaked. I called AHS to put in a service request (125 again, yes I know, Stupid). Sent out a tech, said they would have to replace it. Quote of 1750, and AHS would only cover the tank worth 280 dollars but the new piping since it was out of date so only the tank. So I called my own tech, quoted 870. Got it done by him and cancelled my policy the next day. Out roughly 1500 from the service fees, and monthly fees for no help and no money back on claims.

    We've used AHS for two repairs in the past and it was fine. This time our water heater quit. The contractor came out promptly and said it needed to be replaced. He submitted the order to AHS and is waiting on them to respond with information on where to purchase the water heater. We've now been without hot water for 6 days and AHS has still not procured the replacement or advised the contractor. I've called AHS multiple times and all they do is read the notes from the screen. I asked them to contact their Purchasing Department to check but they say they can't do it. No one wants to take ownership to help me. They just give excuse after excuse about their process. It's been a very frustrating experience. I will update this post later when the hot water heater is finally installed and let you know exactly how many days it took AHS to resolve the issue.

    American Home Shield is a waste of time and money. I purchased coverage as a first time home buyer to feel better covered in case something went wrong. After 2 years of paying for AHS, my furnace gave up on me this summer. I thought at least I am covered! That was my first mistake - having hope that AHS would do something. They sent a tech out 3 days after my furnace went out (if it was the winter this would have been unacceptable). After radio silence 1 week after the tech's visit, I called just to be told there was no report from the tech. So I called again, and again and again. Let's just say 3 weeks ago a tech came out and I still have no answer as to the fate of my furnace. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. USE ANOTHER HOME WARRANTY COMPANY. If it was the winter time my house would be ruined and I might be sick if not dead. UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INACTION. #trash

    Imagine being without your Fridge, AC or heat for 3-4 months because AHS refused to replace a broken appliance or system, that is what is happening to us. We reported our oven broken and they called in a repair person. Unfortunately, there are no parts available to fix the oven. The repairman recommended AHS replace it per the warranty - AHS REFUSED. AHS is fabricating the parts and leaving us without our oven for 3-4 months. Is this what you want? You are better off self-insuring your work and using Home Advisor or some other service. AHS doesn't do home warranties, they may do home repair with large co-pays IF they feel like it.

    We placed a service request for a leaking 42 gallon water heater. They denied the claim due to coverage. It seems that the contract changed after several years and we were not notified and the item is no longer covered. The other items requested were two dripping faucets. The service tech said that they were OK. We live in Vegas and water is precious so I had to turn off the hot side again. Buyers be aware of the contract and the small print and changes. BTW the last water heater they covered took two weeks and cost us about 800.00 in non covered expenses. I heard Amazon has a Home Warranty now.

I contacted Accord Appliance and American Home Shield and was given two different inspection reports. I have asked to talk to Accord Appliance manager but was told he was unavailable but will be getting back to me shortly but never did. Attempted to contact him second time but still no response.

    I've been with American Home Shield for a little over two years now and I just go online whenever I submit claims to them. The most recent claim I had with them was for a refrigerator repair on the evaporator motor and the contractor that they sent out was with Sears. The repair took three visits and the refrigerator is fine now. The first time the contractor came out, they had to figure out what the problem was and then they ordered the part. However, that part didn’t fix the problem when they came out the second time. After that, I didn’t call back right away because of my schedule. But as far as the contractors themselves that came out, everything was great.

    In our house in Las Vegas, one of the pumps for our swimming pool had a bad leak. The seal was bad in it and the filters also needed some work. My wife took care of the claim submission with American Home Shield and it was not more than a day 'til the technician came out. He came a lot sooner than we expected. He fixed the leak quickly and he told me how to take the filters out and clean them. He also told us how to avoid the problem in the future. It was very good.

    The only thing is there are two pumps and the other one, about a week later, we noticed that it was also leaking. We have a water slide, a waterfall pump, and that other pump that hadn’t been turned on. We are living in Minnesota and we won’t move back out there again for another three weeks, so we'll do it when we get back. But the pool guy should’ve caught that earlier so he could’ve done them both at the same time. Other than that, everything went very well. The guy who came and did the work was very professional and got it done fast.

    The neighbor down the street uses American Home Shield and recommended them so I went with them too and have been with them for two years now. When my air conditioner stopped blowing anything, AHS tried to get somebody out here as soon as possible. But because of my daughter's asthma and it was gonna be in the upper 90s here, they went ahead and told me to use a different company from what they have listed, and that they would just reimburse me because they can't get anybody out for five days. They had me just use some outside company and I used them. They came out and said they fixed the motor blower but it still didn't work. Not even a week later, it went right back out. So, the company came back out. Each time, the guy was supposed to call before he does any work to get it approved. The first guy did. The second guy claims he did, which he never did.

    So far, I've already gotten the first check from AHS and I'm still waiting on the second check. But I'm not so sure if I'm gonna get the second one because the contractor had to come out and they said they had to do some rewiring. The tech rewired it and then left, and two hours later, the system stopped working again. So, he came back out and he told me, "Well, now it's your circuit board. It's fried." I said, "What? I just had that replaced a year ago myself, and I paid for it." I called American Home Shield and asked them to please send me out one of their companies because I'm nervous and I just wasn't trusting this company. So, they sent out one of their companies and the guy who came out said that the drainage that comes out of the house was backed up. He blew it out and sucked the water out of the bottom tray and everything works fine.

    The reps I spoke with were great, except for whenever I would call and explain to them that I wanted a different individual. I wasn't pleased with that. One of the ladies who talked to me told me I had to finish with who I started with. And I said, "That doesn't make any sense! I should be able to get a second opinion, especially if this company is trying to rip all us of off." So, I hung up and called the number that the dispatch people would call to say what was wrong with the claim and where they get an approval. The lady there told me, "No. There are some people that are new, and they're just confused. And that's not true. You're always welcome to a second opinion. No matter if it's our people or someone outside." She was very polite and very helpful, but I'm still hoping that I'd get my second check.

    We have a rather new refrigerator and it stopped cooling. I submitted a claim online for it to American Home Shield. They sent me some text messages saying that the technician was gonna call me within 24 hours and that didn't happen. The third day after not getting a call, I called the Sears’ number. They told me that there was no service call. I then called American Home Shield and spoke with a very nice operator who put me on hold for a long time. He would check and tell me that he's working on the claim and to stay on hold. AHS apparently called Sears, and then created the service call.

    The tech came out the very next day. There was a lear and he had to replace a part. He re-pumped our refrigerator full of freon. He then ordered the part that we needed. At that time, our refrigerator started cooling again even though it was leaking out slowly. When the parts came in, he came back and changed the parts out. Now our refrigerator’s working like brand new again.

    Every time I’ve called American Home Shield, everybody that I spoke to has been really friendly and met my needs immediately. I know that the technicians that come out aren’t actually American Home Shield. They're subcontractors. But every one of those has also been very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and prompt.

    The contractor American Home Shield sent out to replace the vacuum of our pool pump was great and since the repair, the pool has been good so far. However, I haven’t had a great experience with the past contractor relating to plumbing. My claim before the pool pump was for a dishwasher and I was very disappointed. It just seemed like the contractor didn’t know what they were doing and they weren’t very thorough with follow-ups. I had to call and get another person to come out. It took a month to fix my dishwasher.

    American Home Shield doesn’t always hire the best contractors so I always Yelp them whenever vendors are assigned to me. For the most part, they don’t have good reviews. I wish that American Home Shield would do a better job of selecting their contractors and I told them this. I also told them that if they keep sending bad ones, we are gonna discontinue our service with American Home Shield. If you do your claim online, American Home Shield assigns you the contractor and if you need to change your contractor, you have to call the warranty company. If the contractor has not been dispatched then you can change. It seems a bit complicated.

    American Home Shield's online process on claims was all right. I think it intentionally limits your ability to ask questions or communicate with anybody until you pay your $75. It’s designed that way. Do I think that’s the most user-friendly approach? No. It’s probably very efficient from a business standpoint, though. Action Plumbing was here by the next day. I have multiple leaks under the same sink. They fixed one, but the other one, they didn’t fix it because they said I didn’t report it right when I did the thing online. So, I was a little frustrated about that. I pointed out to them while they were here that the faucet was also leaking. They fixed the P-trap, but because I hadn’t marked the faucet separately, apparently, they don’t have to do anything. That’s pretty lame.

    I have to pay another $75 when they're here and I had marked that I had two leaks, but I had not marked one of them as a faucet. Am I supposed to diagnose everything perfectly myself when it’s leaking multiple places under the same sink? I’m not a plumber. I’ve still got a drip under my sink. Although the P-trap which was the faster leak is under control, I still got a faucet that’s dripping. The one that they fixed is not leaking anymore, and they were very nice. Overall, I’m not unhappy, but it’s kind of one of those things where you gotta hold your chin high. You gotta say the words in the right order. You got another combination to get what you need done. Still, everybody’s been very professional.

    I set my thermostat at 80 degrees, and the AC wasn't cooling below 80 degrees but it was running all the time. Submitting the claim with American Home Shield went very smoothly. They hooked me up with an AC company that came out as promised and on time. The tech added Freon and everything was fine. The AC is not running as much and it maintains the thermostat setting.

    My sump pump would not go off for some reason. H&K Plumbing came out after I filed a claim to American Home Shield. They were wonderful. They were very professional, was on time, didn't take them long at all to fix the problem, and went about their way and I was able to continue my day. Submitting the claim with American Home Shield went fine. He took my claim and let me know the company that was gonna come. I've been with American Home Shield on and off for six years.

    American Home Shield sent out Comfort Heating and AC, and they found that the evaporator coil wasn’t working as it should be, so they put in an order to replace that. But I noticed a couple days before they came back that the entire floor was full of water. That was a little unusual. So maybe something wasn’t connected right or it wasn’t allowing to do what it’s supposed to do. Because it seems highly unlikely that a stuffed up drain would generate that much water. And then I had to continue to call them back out because the thermostat wasn’t working. It wasn’t turning off. The remedies for fixing it were things like opening up my vents. But to me, that’s not addressing the real issue. My vents were left open the same amount as they were before, why is my house not cooling? So it doesn’t seem to be a vent issue.

    They were addressing things that weren’t directly related to what was happening. By the time they were done, they’d opened up the vents and they climbed the attic. The AC started to behave more like it used to. It’s not quite cooling as efficiently as it did, but I read up that whenever you change an evaporator coil, oftentimes, it’s not the right size as your initial unit. And they require more energy and can run longer. But everything’s fine. I used to have a contract with American Home Shield years and years ago, but I recently signed up with them a new contract about three months ago.

    The first call we had with AHS was the blower, and then the coil was the second call within the same week. The coil had a leak and needed $1,455 of Freon. I met the finance guy and the guy above and I think they're a great company. When they replaced the blower, it worked fine. But when I had somebody come out and clean the coil, three days later, the coil was leaking. The tech should’ve told me the first time when he came and replaced the motor that the coil needed to be cleaned the first time, not the next day.

    I can’t prove anything, but I feel like the tech is the reason my coil started to leak, the Freon, whether it was intentional or not. And my home warranty don’t cover coil cleaning. So, when I had to get my coil cleaned, it was out of my pocket. Also the technician said, “You have a 20-year-old unit and you’re gonna put Freon in it, and chances are something else is gonna go on that unit. And it’s gonna leak Freon again and the price of Freon is ridiculous.” So, who in their right mind is gonna throw $1,155 at a unit? But is it gonna hold it? Within six months, it’s probably gonna need more. I told the tech, “Knowing this information, why can’t you refer that back to my home warranty company?"

    I mentioned it to the tech that I was interested in buying a new unit, but I didn't wanna do it right now. I wanted to budget for it. Everything’s not resolved yet as far as the American Home Shield because I need them to pay out because I’m buying a new unit. This is my first claim and they hooked me up with a contractor right away. They did all their due diligence in that area. And I cried to the lady. I called her and I told her what was going on. She helped me through that and gave me good advice on doing the buyout. But I don’t know how much they're gonna give me towards my new unit. The unit is like $7,080 and I believe what the contractor said that they're only gonna put 400 down towards it, which is not a big.

    I believe to buy that policy was about 400 and something dollars for the year, so it does pay for itself. But if I’m having to pay thousands of dollars, it’s not really paying for itself any longer. Also somebody from their side should’ve contacted me and got more information and got to know me as a person. I’m a single mom and I got two jobs. I just bought this house. I’m only 31. It’s a learning process for me. I’m a first customer and I pay my bills and I know I would definitely get a policy with them again for the rest of my home-owning time, so I think I’ll be a good customer for them to buy me the new AC.

    The guy came and quoted me. He looked through my property and I vented to him my frustrations and everything. And they're not charging me for the sales tax. They cut me a lot of breaks, like my ductwork, but I’m gonna be paying the 7,000 whatever 80 dollars. But the bill would've been a lot more considering the ductwork that I need in my house because they have an add-on now. So, I feel like they get to know their customers and they have more of a heart and they're willing to work with you instead of just trying to get money from you.

    I had a plumbing issue and I submitted a claim for it with American Home Shield online. The process was easy. I did it on a Thursday or a Friday, and Lindsay Company, the contractor, came out the following Monday. Communication was good. There were things that needed to be added, which were recommended, because the new water heaters are different-sized than the old water heaters. So, we needed all new connections.

    Then, based on where it is in the attic, and it is the one that was in the front, if you have to get to the other one, they said that it was probably because of the challenge to access the second one. Of course, it was recommended to go ahead and place that one now, because they've to come back out. Then, they have to charge to disconnect the first one and move it in order to do the second one. So, I wouldn’t say it was high-pressure, but it was very frustrating to end up with an $1,100 bill. Nevertheless, everything about it has been fine since then.

    My pool service company, on the other hand, also came out through AHS. They said I've got something wrong with my salt cylinder and then I noticed that it was leaking. They had to replace a switch in my panel, because my remote was not working at all. Now, I ran everything through the switches to see if everything worked, and two of my things, my water feature and my water heater for my hot tub, still can’t work from my remote. I don’t feel like they really tested everything when they fixed the switch per se.

    The pool pumps in a house that we are in the process of selling were not running. I called American Home Shield on a Friday, and a technician was here on a Tuesday. He fixed it and left, so that was a good experience. However, we had another house where we had a cooktop that we turned in as a problem on the 20th of July. At first, they told us that the valve was no longer manufactured for our cooktop, and they were offering me $343. Then, they said, “Or we can get your valve out of your store, and we can have it rebuilt and that’ll be another eight weeks."

    I did my homework too and found a valve for our cooktop and the valve we had to go with was for a high-altitude valve. I informed AHS that a high-altitude valve will work for our cooktop that had a leaky valve. I said, “All you have to do according to Dacor and Dacor’s technical support people is remove the orifice from the inside of our old valve, and insert it in a high-altitude valve." So, that controls and regulates the amount of gas that the valve is releasing.

    Then, they ordered the valve, and the technician that they finally got a hold of that works on Dacor came out the first time and said it was the valve. Then, he came out the second time with the valve, and he didn't have the proper tool to remove the valve. Then, he came out a third time with the valve and with the Dacor tool that he ordered, and he couldn't break something. He threw his hands up in the air and he said, “I’m gonna report your cooktop as unrepairable.” Then, the cooktop that they were offering us was a GE. They said that that was what they listed. Even though they will cover up to around $1,500 for appliance, they would not try and help us out and get us a high quality appliance to replace our high quality appliance.

    We just bought a cooktop ourselves today, and they were going to send us a check for $900. However, I don't know where that check is. They told me it would be 7 to 10 days, and I've been waiting for a week. So, the repaying process is slow. Also, at the same house where the pool is, we had a double oven go out and it got replaced, but it wasn't of equal value. I had to pay $300 out of my pocket to get a stainless steel double oven.

    We submitted the AC request to American Home Shield. It was like a leakage from the roof. The AC guy came, checked this leakage, and said that he fixed it and everything was okay. But in less than a week, it started again to leak. So we decided that it’s probably the roof. We invited the roof person. He checked roof, and he said that everything okay. And then he went to the attic, and said that it’s a clog in the AC air system. He said that it’s really very easy to fix. I told him that the AC guy already came and checked, and everything was okay. But the roofer insisted that it was what he saw.

    I called the AC company and told them that their guy said that it was fixed, but apparently it wasn’t. And our ceiling was kind of half opened. It was a huge hole and everything wet. I tried to contact this AC company and it took them like one week to answer, and they said that they will try to do something. My husband sent them a couple of emails, but there was no response. We have all the pictures and we sent them to the contractor, but no response from them. So we just went ahead and fixed our ceiling recently. But then we claimed the second time with the insurance companies, and the person from the other company came and fixed this air conditioning stuff. But we had really very bad secondary damage from the first company.

    Overall, it was a very good experience with American Shield. We just had two situations that time that were very bad. Once with this roof, and once we had a problem with the toilet leaking. And again, American Home Shield sent an experienced guy who came and said that there was nothing going wrong. It was also a leakage.

As the washer was smoking I thought that would not be safe but did it the next day and recorded the smoking washer. I had to wait another week to get them to come out. The new man checked the recording and ordered parts.

    It would take another week to fix. When they fixed it they told me they would have back to remove the trash and broken parts. They never came to get the trash, I called AHS and they said they would send them a notice. They came today but only to fix the washer and not pick up the trash. I called AHS and they said Sears doesn't take the trash and I would have to take care of it. This is the first time I've used them and I hope the last I'm warning people not to use this company as the service is terrible. I can't wait for my contract to be over so I can get a good company with good service.

    The service overall was alright. It takes time till somebody shows up to do a repair like everywhere else. Cancellation fees however are the same as the full amount for a month of coverage and they didn't tell me this until after my last payment, even after I asked if any cancellation fees were involved. Lied to me first and then charged me an extra month for cancellation fees. I hope this is the last of it.

    The point of carrying AHS is mainly for the HVAC system, right? For us anyway. Carried over 10 years. Made like 2 calls. Our AC condenser went out. Old Train unit, was way past it's life. We should have just replaced it right away in the winter instead of counting on AHS to cover repair or replacement. 102 outside, but AHS wouldn't make an "emergency" call to HVAC company to come out unless it was 105. And it took 3 days for someone to come out. And when they did, the tech assumed the caps were bad (didn't even test them). The compressor was bad. We were going to be charged about 800 bucks for freon as AHS only covered 10$/lb. Wanted to replace the unit and just take the coverage from AHS and apply to new system... this is where it falls apart...

    AHS offered 500 bucks and said we had to use the same company that came out and assumed the caps were bad. No thank you. We've been sweating our butts off for 3 days, and you want us to go with the overpriced (to customer) sub par contractor? No chance. No Thank you. WILL NEVER CARRY YOUR WARRANTY AGAIN. And want all to know that it isn't worth it. On phone with AHS for hours... of course call got disconnected. Couldn't even cancel the warranty without hours of call time. What a joke. Better to know now than after another 50 years of home ownership.

    Experienced delayed service visits. Unprofessional and unhelpful contractors who acted like they were underpaid. Customer service for the company is inattentive. When I called to cancel, I was systematically placed on hold (I held for up to an hour on one call), and I had to call and dispute the math (simple) for the refund as they botched even that. Not worth it at all. I spent $150 on service calls which no work was complete. Getting put on hold is either a strategy or a poor operating department, but in disputing the refund, I was told 2-3 min and I had to hang up after 10 min. This is consistent.

    Updated review: Sept. 18, 2019

    I made many calls into customer service I never got help. After reading this review on consumer affairs I got contacted by a representative who could finally help me. She was understanding resolved my issue by compensating me for my trouble. Resolution was great problem is the company's process for replacement takes way too long and even though they were able to compensate me do not feel confidence in the next issue and how fast it will be resolved. Not sure I will stay with this company for this very reason. Understanding they still compensated me for my trouble I still think that I would fall into the same issues if I need a replacement of anything they warranty in my home. It took me leaving a bad review from consumer affairs to make anything happen. Therefore I'm only giving them to more stars than the one-star review I gave them and I may consider not staying with them because I doubt they will change their processes.

    Original Review: Sept. 4, 2019

    I have had the worst experience with this company. There are better companies to work with for a home warranty. My water heater started leaking. I set up a request for a plumber to come out through their system. The plumber could not get me in the schedule for 5 business days. After I waited the plumber came and told me it would take up to 10 to 14 days for American Home Shield to order the replacement water heater, then they would call me to get me put back on the schedule. The plumber let me know he would get back to me with the added cost that would not be covered for things like code issues. After all was said and done it was going to cost an extra $250 for earthquake straps and a new expansion tank.

    Feeling this was way out of range I got a second opinion. Turns out I did not need a new expansion tank because the one I had was put in 4 years after the old water heater. Plus to install a new one the plumber I called said it should be Not $50. Not trusting the plumber American Home Shield sent I chose the cash out option and paid to have the plumber I trusted put in a new water heater. I was told that a check would be processed and in order to cover the water heater in the future I would just need to send the invoice showing the work had been done. I received the invoice and found out the check could not be processed until I sent the invoice in.

    The whole process is going to take over a month and if I would have chosen to go with American Home Shield's plumber it would have taken maybe longer to even get a water heater installed. I have been told other home warranty companies install same day. In my experience I would never do business or recommend this warranty company.

    I would not wish this company on my worst enemy. A complete waste of money and time. I have had to use them three times, in which they immediately charge you $75 to even begin the service call process. They then partner with bottom-of-the-barrel service providers who may or may NOT show up when they are scheduled. Currently I have been without Air Conditioning for 3 1/2 WEEKS while their contracted A/C serviceman has ignored daily phone calls. I have spent a total of 4.5 hours on the phone with AHS trying to get resolution. Their call center is in Asia, and none of the CSRs speak English as a first language. They refuse to transfer the call to a supervisor, and no matter what you ask them, they read from their type-written script of answers. It's like talking to a wall.

    The correct resolution in my case is for them to immediately contact another A/C repair service to correctly fix my problem, yet they refuse to do so. They have not even contacted me back in over a week, when it was promised that I would be contacted within 24 hours. I just looked up the business they contract A/C repair to last night - and the repair service has received an "F" from the Better Business Bureau, with complaints too numerous to mention. Ironically, I get weekly emails and mail from AHS reminding me that my contract is up for renewal in less than a month. REALLY? Why on EARTH would I pay them a single cent for their worthless service, and infuriating customer service? ZERO stars is the appropriate rating.

    I recently cancelled my contracts with AHS because I found them to be not customer focused. In my experience, the contractors the company works with unresponsive and slow to address issues. I also did not have good experience with their customer service. It was an awful experience to get AC systems repaired this summer. Eventually they approved me to use outside contractors because their contractors were unresponsive and could not do the job. Also, I am still waiting to be refunded for the cost I incurred and no one is able to tell me why it is taking long to get my money back. Not so customer focused! I don't recommend them at all. They were not there for me when I needed their services despite paying my monthly dues for the last 7 years. I had bad experience last year too.

    Purchased their home warranty as a catch all for our new home. Seemed like a good option, but went with the wrong company to do it. My A/C broke quickly after I moved in, like a week or two. So, FEW, I have a warranty, so I call them up, and they get someone out right away. It's 90F at my house year-round here in Hawaii, so it’s a big deal, and I have three dogs, so I have to drive them around in our car to save them from the heat while we wait. The company knows this, and so they say they are rushing this one, asap. Blah blah blah.

    I will make a long story short and tell you that my air conditioning has still yet to be repaired and this is just passing the 3 month period with NO AC in the desert region of Hawaii where my house won’t stay below 88F in the morning before it HEATS BACK UP INTO THE 90s! I have been spending more taking my dogs to safety (which should be my home but it is not) then I would have spent just fixing it out of my own pocket.

    They said they have no max repair time stipulation... so they can take 5 years to fix your stuff if they want to and there is nothing that you can do about it. I will NEVER give them another chance after this and I am borderline going on base to see what legal action I have to take, if any. Buyer beware but this is a massive scam as far as I can tell. You have been warned. Save your time, and then save your money and build a safety net of your own instead of buying into this scam.

    Here is my rough experience with AHS: We moved into our new home on 8/13. All appliances were new and purchased by the seller. Soon after we moved in, I ran our dishwasher for the first time and realized that it would not drain. Called in AHS to send over an appliance technician who paid a visit on 8/21. He said, he can't do anything since it's under manufacturer warranty so fine. I called in the Frigidaire who then sent their authorized service provider (Electrolux). They came over a day after and found out that the dishwasher was connected to a 240 volt outlet that was located behind it. The outlet was invisible to any inspection since it was hidden behind the dishwasher under the kitchen counter. Manufacturer indicated that this voids their warranty and that I should call in the electrician. So I did through AHS by the book. An electrician arrives to remedy the outlet problem so that dishwasher can be serviced upon it.

    At this point AHS simply denies electrician's request to be paid claiming that it's a current overload (related to a sudden increase in surge due to overall power lines) while it's improperly installed and unknown preexisting condition as stated in my contract for which there is coverage. Moving onto next step an appliance technician comes in. Upon examination he suggests to replace parts and runs it by AHS. In his report he falsely indicates that there is full manufacturer's warranty while there isn't. Note that manufacturer had already relayed their report to AHS at this point.

    I called in AHS to solve the issue and they asked that I request a second opinion by another service provider while all they had to do was to contact the manufacturer with the work order details to confirm the absence of manufacturers warranty so that things can be expedited and I can have my dishwasher working again. I provided all details and they said they'd pass it onto their authorization department for them to give manufacturer a call while I'm waiting for my dishwasher to be fixed for weeks. It's very simple thing to do yet they'll drag their feet to not take care of my claim. Ahmet **.

    The only reason I'm giving them one star is for some of the customer service assistance I've received. The company itself has some major issues which could easily be resolved. I've had a contract with AHS for nearly 30 years, having paid over $15,000. During that time they have had a couple of work orders for my 1980 air-conditioning unit so they know it's on my second story roof. When I scheduled a work order, it was all automated. They assigned me to Maxon Air. That dispatcher scheduled a tech to arrive the following day but did not want any info from me and said the tech would diagnose when he was on site. When he arrived, he asked where my unit was located. I told him on the roof. He said their company doesn't carry liability insurance for ladders so promptly left.

    I had to start over again with AHS and was on the phone with a representative (Abby) for over an hour. I live in Phoenix and it's the middle of the summer so our temps are averaging 110 degrees and I've already been w/o air for two days. After approximately five phone calls to various a/c vendors, the AHS agent confirmed an appt with Patriot Air for the following day to arrive 12-3. At 10:30 am I received a call from another a/c company about scheduling an appointment. I told him that Patriot Air was on their way. I thought that was odd so I contacted Patriot Air and found out they couldn't come as they were doing an install and didn't have enough employees to assist me.

    I didn't hear a word from AHS about this incident. I had to contact AHS again and because it was Friday, they were not able to get an a/c company to schedule me until Mon which would mean a week without a/c...unacceptable. This phone call was two hours long. The representative disconnected me but to her (Leah) credit, she did call me back after about five minutes. I have asthma and some heart issues as well as an exotic parrot in the house. I asked to be reimbursed for a portable a/c unit, approximately $250, which they would not do. I can't go to a hotel because of the parrot. Plus, AHS wouldn't reimburse for that either.

    I hope the company on Monday, Valleywide Cooling, keeps their appointment with me, is able to diagnose and fix my unit that day. AHS has some bad business practices and are not putting their customers first. Shame on them! UPDATE: Valleywide Cooling recommended to replace the unit. AHS sent out another company for a second opinion. So, rather than replace a 1980 unit, they opted to have the second opinion company fix it by "brazing" the leaking coils. I had to pay $630 for freon and was without a/c for 10 days.

Unable to speak with a supervisor, inconvenience, rude and abrasive contractors, my home owner's insurance company requires I continue to mitigate damages until a professional diagnosis is made. However, that has not been done over this past month. There have been at least five contractors, and none has pinpointed the problem. I've asked representatives to escalate the service request to no avail, I've asked to speak to a supervisor to no avail, and the website does not provide information on escalating a matter.

    I had an a recurring problem with my refrigerator's ice maker. Once I submitted the claim for it to American Home Shield, it took about a week for the contractor to come out. The last guy that was out was really good. He seemed to be the most knowledgeable person about what the problem was and he was professional. He had to order some parts, gave us an idea on what to do to make it work better, and we did it. Then he came back, but it was still not right. It worked for about a week, and then it was leaking again. We went through this problem about a year ago and had two or three different services come out, and then we just gave up. We turned it off, and we were dealing with it.

    It's like AHS just wants to send a repairman out. After they’ve sent somebody out three or four times and it still doesn’t work, it is just a pain in my butt. And I also had them send somebody out for a dryer, and the guy said, “Yeah, they’re made kinda cheap,” and he did not resolve that either. We didn't pay a cheap price for it and it was purchased brand new. It was a year old and it was making some thumping noises. So, I’m not really thrilled. Their responsiveness is okay. I don’t know if it is the caliber of the repair people or what it is, but I’m not happy with getting my problems resolved. We had another house and AHS was much better.

    Most recently, I had a light switch in the kitchen that was not working properly. It was not turning on and the light was dimming really oddly. I submitted a claim to AHS and Fraser Electric called the next day. They came out and replaced the switch and now everything is working much better. AHS's contractors have always been very helpful and nice.

    The fan on the stove went out. We called American Home Shield and it took a couple of days for somebody from the contractor company to give me a call back. When they called me, I described what was going on and then they came over. As soon as I described to the handyman who was doing it, he said that it was the fan and that it would take 10 days then he left. In watching some YouTube videos, I understand that the fan is specific to the model. But in just hearing what I had to say, the guy knew exactly what it was as we were walking up the stairs. He just asked for the model number of the oven, which was something that I could’ve described over the phone. He didn't have to come all the way out just to be here for five minutes to do that. I also didn’t like that it’s a 10-day to wait for the part. We were without an oven for 10 days. But, we managed.

    I’m not mad at the company or American Home Shield. But if they know they are coming out to fix a stove, they should have the right part before coming out. Other than that, I like having the protection. I’ve had to use AHS quite a few times and I’ve never not been happy with the service. The fees are reasonable and they fix everything. I like the peace of mind of knowing if something happens, it’ll only cost me 77 bucks for somebody to come out and fix the issue until it’s resolved.

    The vent was clogged up, but the AHS contractor didn't work on that because of the dryer. Apparently, we had called the wrong people to come out. So, we got a hold of somebody on Angie's List to clear the vent for the dryer and the guy repaired it. The AHS rep I spoke with me was very, very nice. We called them on a weekend and their contractor came out that Monday or Tuesday, and they were very professional.

    With American Home Shield, if I have two problems, I can't do an online order for a claim. Their system doesn't let me. I have to talk to a rep to say I have two issues that need to be fixed with the same type of technician. AHS always tells me to go online and I can't really do that. I've tried and there's no way to do it. Furthermore, I can't request any specific contractor. So, I usually just call and talk to a rep but then the wait time can be very long.

    I had a claim where United Air Temp Inc. was sent to do service. The tech who came was really good. He fixed the first few problems and he turned off the water to do that. He explained what the issue was. However, I ran all the water in the house after he left for a pretty long time but we were still getting major kickback that where it sounds like the pipes are shaking. Even though we were taking showers and draining everything and doing everything that we could, our system was still kicking back. So, we thought that the tech did something he shouldn't have. We called the tech back but the minute he got back to our place, the system wasn't kicking back. I called him back a second time and that time, the noise went away. Now, everything is working okay.

    I submitted the claim online to American Home Shield late Friday and someone came that Monday. The contractor was very helpful and he broke it down for me. I didn't have many questions, but he answered thoroughly the one question I had. He completed the repair on the same day that he came and I haven't had any issues.

    I called in a claim for a pool flow switch issue to American Home Shield and spoke with a very nice lady. AHS sent Crystal Clear Pool and they were very reliable. They showed up and let us know they were there. We were out with the techs and they fixed the issue. They were very polite too. Things have been just fine since the repair.

    I had a plumbing issue, an appliance issue, and electrical issue on the same day. So, I had a plumber, an electrician, and appliance guy come. My experience with the person I spoke with when I submitted the claim was fine. But I was a little disappointed that having three incidents go on the same time, I had to pay three separate $75 service fees. But I got everything taken care of. The contractors were all extremely professional. They all contacted me within less than 24 hours, and all of them came exactly when they said they were gonna be there.

    The American Home Shield representative gave a very good service when I submitted a claim over the phone. Then the contractor came out the next morning and was polite. He told me what he needed to replace. He had the part and fixed the problem on that day while he was here. The air conditioning is working now.

    We had a power surge, so I was worried about it. I filed a claim online as I wanted to set up a service call for it to be checked. The tech who was sent replaced one little canister-looking thing that wasn't putting out all that it should be. He came on time and he was done fairly quickly. American Home Shield is as good as always. I've had them since I bought this house five years ago. When I was in the house for a week, the garbage disposal went. Their contractor also came right out and fixed it, so that was great. AHS is a good investment.

    The air conditioning unit was not working fully. I had a guy come out but he didn't do anything. He told us that it was the filter. I went and bought a filter and put the filter in. They had to send him back out but they were very rude. The man literally told my husband, "There's nothing else I can do," and walked out. Literally, it took him almost three weeks to get back out there. He came and said it must be something different. At that point, he was trying to argue back and forth with my husband. My husband said, "No, I don't want you. Go ahead and leave." He also called the company and told them they could send somebody else.

    AHS sent out another company after that. They came in, and the guy found out immediately what the problem was and fixed it. As soon as he came in, he said he'd go outside. The first one never even went outside. The issue was something that was with some kinda blockage where it was cluttered. He uncluttered it, and the air works fine now.

    The reps at AHS are not helpful for the customer. I called the company and they said AHS never put in the request for them to go back out. This went on for almost three weeks. I've been with AHS for about 12 years and I've never had a problem. But this one blew me out the water. It was so hot but the contractor said they never could get back out there to find out what the problem was. I definitely wouldn't recommend AHS because the experience with that guy was terrible.
