    I'm disgusted with American Home Shield. My water heater wasn’t lighting and I called them three times to get it fixed. The first time was a week and a half before I got anything done. The people did not listen to me and submitted a claim for a furnace repair instead of a water heater repair. And whoever they submitted me to never called them back. I also noticed that they charged me but nobody contacted me. So a week later, I called again and talked to an idiot. I told them the issue that these people never called me and that the claim was not for a furnace. It was for a water heater. And the rep called the same people who didn't bother to call me. Then, I called the third time and the lady listened and changed it to a water heater claim like it should've been. She called the appropriate people and I heard from them the next day. Then the tech came out three days later and replaced a part. He was wonderful.

    The AC unit was powering on, but the compressor was not turning on. I filed the claim with American Home Shield online, and the process was straightforward and painless. The contractor came out the same day I filed the claim. They were prompt, worked with our schedule, and got the work done quickly -- they replaced the capacitor. It’s rough out there, so it was good that they got that knocked out as quickly as they did. My wife had AHS before we got married, and we got it in our current residence for three years now.

    I have a warranty which I got because my real estate broker suggested it. She said it was a good deal. I never had such a thing before because I'm a very handy person. We moved into our new home and I went downstairs one day and saw water on the ground. I thought I needed a new water heater because I didn’t know anything. I saw water coming out of the hot water heater. So, I called up the phone number and then registered. It actually was a Friday night, and nobody was there. They said I would have to wait until Monday morning. Monday morning came and they sent down a company called Spry Plumbing & Heating and they were extremely friendly.

    They evaluated the problem and told me it was a simple gasket on the overflow line. The tech said, “You do not need a hot water heater, but I'll drain your hot water heater, I'll inspect it." He went through the whole rigmarole, and he was as neat as a pin. He did not spill a drop of water downstairs, and he took care of everything. Everything was put together very nicely, too. He was polite and efficient, and it only cost me $100 for the service call. Since the repair, it has been fine. The thing will probably last until the hot water heater goes and then it will be another repair. It was the first time ever that I've had such a company do anything like this for me. It seems to be a good investment.

    The claim with my garage door went very well. The door was getting hung-up when it was either going up and going down. The rails had become un-adjusted and they were too close to the wall, and the door itself was hanging up against the wall when it was coming down. The tech who was sent out by American Home Shield identified the problem very quickly and fixed it. I was very happy about it. Previously, I didn’t think that that particular repair was covered through the warranty, so I had another company come out and that guy supposedly fixed the problem, but he didn’t.

    One of the air conditioners was blowing hot air. A & R Complete Service Corp had to recharge the system and change the Schrader valve on it. It went good. The only thing is that American Home Shield needs to screen their subcontractors a little bit better. We had one subcontractor that tried to sell me a hot water tank and that was not what they were called out for. They were called for a leak next to it. But I recommend AHS. We have had them on a couple of different houses and they're always right on top of it to take care of things.

    The plumber that was sent by American Home Shield was good, but the first AC guy they sent was terrible. When he came out, I told him what was going on and that there was a leak somewhere, so he went up in the attic and he claimed that he un-drained the drainage just in five minutes. That doesn’t sound right. So, we still had the same problem. He wanted to leave, and I said, “Wait a minute, you're supposed to check the AC unit on the outside too to make sure everything is okay. So, he went out there and checked it, and he came back and told me that I was four pounds low of Freon. I'm like, “Four pounds low. How can that be? And it was still getting cold. It just had a leak.” He had to fix that and tune it up, and then that would help the leaking problem.

    He charged me $250 to fix that. He wanted like $89 a pound to put Freon. Right after he finished checking and charging me, he took 250 to tune it up and he said, “Well, everything should be fine, but you don’t need a Freon now.” “Now, how did you say that I needed Freon and now, all of a sudden, I don’t need it? I didn’t understand that.” I contacted American Home Shield and they sent another plumber, and he came out and he was really good and he took care of me. Then, they sent a new AC guy after him and he was the one that really helped me find the leak. Both of the plumbers and the latest AC guy were really good. He stood in the attic for almost two hours. The other guy was in the attic for 5 or 10 minutes and he was done, and then he charged me $250 talking about how he tuned up the AC. Everything is done now. American Home Shield was on it.

I have spent over $7k of my money to replace my entire a/c unit because the repair recommended by the company was considered ill advised by multiple HVAC companies. AHS instructed me to email an invoice as proof of repair so I can be partially compensated $700. I was told my invoice, which was clearly marked as an invoice, was a quote not an invoice.

    We have been with AHS for 5 years. Our hot tub quit working (it was covered under our contract with AHS). It took weeks to get someone out, he came out 3 times and could not figure out what was wrong. The area we live in has 13 different hot tub repair businesses. We finally called one near us to come out, within 10 minutes they had it figured out, ordered the part, and replaced it...all within 10 days. When we asked to be reimbursed, it was denied. Local shops we talked with said they would not do business with AHS for various reasons. We paid the $498 repair bill ourselves and asked to cancel our contract. We then received an email saying there would be a $65 cancellation fee, something they did NOT tell you when you were asking to cancel.

    After being a customer for 5 years, they charged me Administration fee for cancellation of the account. I was trying to cancel account because there was a monthly fee increase on my account which was not informed to me. They claim that they sent a letter but not an email. During the cancellation, he agreed to waive the administration fee but sent an email to pay that administration fee after disconnecting the phone call. I called again to discuss the fee but they were not interested to talk as the account is already cancelled. Please re-think again before signing the contract.

    1) When you are out of service for A/C or heat appliances, there is no guarantee that you get service immediately. Check for the contract.
    2) Yearly contract?

I don't know what took so long. He said that he would be back in about a week. It would have been done a lot quicker if he got the parts locally instead of having to order them and then shipped through him. But my washing machine has been working good since the repair.

    My AC claim went better than expected because prior to me getting Qualified Service Systems to come and do the work that was required, it was another company called Triple A. I didn't get a good feeling that the technician was aboveboard. I know I have to pay for the Freon because it was additional charge. The warranty only covers for so much. But the technician would say things like, “Well, if you pay me in cash and not a check, I can give you a better deal.” And then, he would say, “Well, if things don't work, give me a call on my cell phone and I’ll come back out. You don't have to go through the warranty program.” I didn't feel comfortable with that. But when I did that, he was like putting Band-Aids on the problem. The problem was never resolved.

    I went online and placed another call to American Home Shield. The drop-down menu said that the problem was not being repaired before. I got lucky after I had the problem three times, and Qualified Service came out, and they did a great job. The AC was actually leaking. That’s why I was losing Freon, and they repaired the leak. The showed the leak to me, and he walked me through the process of how he was gonna repair it. He came back out and repaired it.

    I was told by the Triple A tech that he had flushed the pipes because it was also leaking in the house. But apparently, he didn't do a good job, and they came back out again and they finished that off. He also told me that my drains were clogged, and he unclogged them. But again, that problem reoccurred with the air conditioner, which was shut down, and it was the clogging problem. I called the guy and he told me to just unscrew the pipe and let it sit there for a while, and put a bucket, and it would clear it up itself. And then I should call me back if that didn't work. But when Qualified Services came, they put a machine to it and pump it through and pumped all the gush out. They explained to me that it was really backed up. I was very pleased with them. They were very professional. They came and identified the issue. They explained it to me at a level where I could understand it, and they resolved it.

    I’ve been keeping my fingers crossed that if I ever have to use another company again, it won’t be Triple A because I don't feel like the tech did a thorough job. I wrote an email back to American Home Shield explaining that whole episode with Triple A and how that developed because it was something they may wanna know if other people are having the same problems with that company. I also tried calling but it was very hard to get through. You always get the recordings and you can never talk to a real person, so I just went ahead and wrote an email. But I’m satisfied with American Home Shield so far. I had an issue with my washer and dryer, and those problems were resolved very quickly.

    There were leaks in the shower fan, toilet and water heater, and I submitted my claim online to American Home Shield. Navigating through the website was pretty straightforward but AHS should notify you or send an email after you submit the claim. Luckily, I logged back in and it said that the contractor was waiting on a call from me. I assumed that after I submitted the claim, I would be called to schedule but it said that the next step was for me to call somebody. So, they should have told me to call them.

    The contractor was great. I called them Monday morning around 8:00 o’clock and when they answered, the girl said she was gonna send the plumber out that afternoon. I wasn’t available that afternoon so, they scheduled a time that I was available. They called me ahead of time and the guy was there pretty promptly. The guy changed the wax ring on the toilet. He also changed the hoses running into the inlet and the outlet on the water heater hoses that corroded just from age. He got under the house to look at the other problem and gave me a roundabout on what we needed to do next. The toilet is not leaking and the water heater is fixed but the main issue is still a problem. AHS didn’t cover that so, I had to go in to homeowners to do what they wanted to do. Still, AHS did what was agreed upon on both parties. So, it wasn’t bad. They took care of me and fixed what was in the contract.

    My pool pump went out and I contacted American Home Shield, and they sent out a technician. The technician was very professional. They ordered the part, and then they came back and replaced it. Everything is working fine after the service. But American Home Shield gotta explain a little bit better in their policy on what they cover and don’t cover. They could be a little bit more open about it to where when we put a claim. It’s kind of misleading when you buy the policy and say that the whole pool is covered. And then if something goes out, they would say they don’t cover that part of the pool.

    We had a leak and we weren't sure if it was a plumbing or an appliance issue. So, we had to deal with that first. We started with the plumber and it wasn't, so then we had to pay another $100 fee for an appliance. When I submitted the claim, I originally set it up for the appliance and then, I thought that maybe a plumber could do both. But the plumber said that it was leaking at the connection to the dishwasher so, I would need to call back and redo it. Each time you call, you have to wait five days to get somebody out.

    The contractor came and he noticed that there was a leak. He had to order a part so, he had to come back for that. Once he got it working and that part, he started to run it through a cycle and realized there was an issue with the motor. So then, he had to order that part and I had to wait again. We were without our dishwasher for at least a month. Originally, I thought we had an electrical issue because the electric was tripping on the dishwasher but t was a water issue the whole time so, where there is some cross over, it’s a little bit frustrating. You don't really know who to call or which type of trade so, that's a little bit hard.

    I also had a ceiling fan that wasn’t working, and on the website, you can only state one thing. So, if you have two issues, you have to call and you’re on the phone for at least 20 minutes of waiting to go through that. I screenshot it because I was eventually gonna try to get a hold of our rep from AHS to say that I hope the clients aren’t having to do it but I’m sure they are. The website doesn't cover everything and sometimes, it doesn't match up. Then sometimes, it wouldn't let you write a comment to specify that it was more than one thing. So, when the contractor calls to ask what's going on and you tell him three different things, he'll that he only has an approval for one thing. So then, you have to call back and get it. Still, I would recommend American Home Shield. Normally, we have good experiences and the people that come out are always professional, so that's always nice.

    I bought this house a year ago, and the person who sold it to me gave me a year of American Home Shield. I submitted a claim online and it was a bit easy. They could break their menus down a bit better and organize it a bit more to make the menus smaller for their customers but it was fine because I knew what I was doing. The contractor came out and did more than they should have. They found another leak which was a problem because they knew that something was wrong when they were doing some investigation into the leak that I did have. They were incredibly thorough. Once they noticed that I had a lot of water in my crawlspace, they did a bit more digging, and then they found that my dishwasher was improperly installed and had been leaking water for five days into my house.

    For the most part, everything has been good and I've been happy with AHS but I ran into a situation to where AHS didn't cover a major appliance. It was a little weird especially with the list that they currently have. The guy didn't know what the appliance was, so I kinda had a negative customer interaction with somebody who didn't quite know the situation. I've been with AHS for a year and I'm coming up on the renewal. I'm still deciding what I want to do if I'm going to renew it. Just weighing all my options and finances.

    I had a service order with American Home Shield on August 23rd and they scheduled it. The contractor, Christian, came in and he was fantastic. He had to go back several times for the parts for the heater, but everything was done. He also said that he tested it to make sure that it would heat up the spa and the pool. They were going for one issue and then they saw a crack in the header, so they replaced it because they knew that it would be a problem soon. They were really honest, ethical and courteous. Christian is phenomenal. He spent two straight days working on our equipment. He did a lot of work in the pool heater, pump, and the saltwater system. I wish I could have him around all the time.

    After Christian left, we had a leak in the pump, so he came back, reopened it and fixed it. This past weekend, which was roughly a week after he worked on it, was the first time we were gonna heat up the spa for my kids and it was not heating up. We had it on for hours just to get the jets and it wasn’t heating up at all. I checked at the temperature and it was not doing anything. So, I went back there to check on the heater itself, and then it looked like the front panel was just leaning against it. It’s not closing and the screws are not holding it together anymore.

    When I called and left the company a message, I got an auto-texting that they closed their service order on this and so I’d have to call American Home Shield again. Also before they worked on the heater, it was just making a bunch of noise and it was taking three minutes to heat up the spa. Now it doesn’t heat up at all. So, I now have to pay for another service order to fix the same problem.

    When I talk to someone from AHS and I’m lucky enough to get someone from here, they're very competent and they tell me everything that is true. But sometimes I call and I get someone from India. I will ask if an issue is covered and they'll say yes. They tell you something that is not true and then you end up paying for something and you don’t get a refund because the other guy said that it's not true. On one issue, I made a phone call because I wasn’t sure if it was covered. They said that the leak in my sprinkler pipes was covered but when the plumbing company came out, they said that it was not covered because it was on the outside of our house. So I called AHS back about it and asked if I could get my refund on this call. AHS said that as soon as the other issue is resolved and the company closes their claim, then I would get a refund, but I never did. So, I called and asked for a supervisor to call me back and they said someone would call me back.

    The air conditioner wasn’t working. The issue was the motor. I did a claim with American Home Shield. Certified Comfort did the service first, and it didn’t last. And since he charged me for a service he didn’t provide and then double-billed my credit card, I did not want to use him again. So, we went to the Temperatures Unlimited and he was very good.

    I would not recommend Certified Comfort to anyone. The guy came and said, “Oh, I have to get parts. If you wanna wait a week, we’ll do standard, or I can expedite it and we can do it in the next couple days, but that’ll cost you $150.” So I paid the $150 because it was over 100 degrees and my husband had pneumonia. Eight days later, he fixed it. I really don’t think he expedited the parts, and then, he did a double-charge on my credit card. I got the refund on the first $150. It was a USAA credit card, so we were able to cancel that second charge. Other than that, American Home Shield has always been really helpful. I haven’t had any problems with them at all.

    Initially, the claim with American Home Shield for an AC repair was submitted online. We thought it was an issue with the AC, but we found out that it was the water heater. So we had to talk to somebody over the phone after we realized it wasn't the right thing. They made an appointment and we got someone to come out the next day. The water heater was leaking from the bottom. It wasn't any fixing and it had to be replaced. Then it took two days for them to come back and put the new one in. It would have been better if we figured out what it was, but it was a new house and we weren't sure what was leaking. But they certainly helped us. Now, everything is working great. I would recommend American Home Shield, but we were a little bit disappointed in the ability to talk to somebody human at first.

    I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for replacing the GFCI outlet that was outside and the contractor was very professional and polite. They made my schedule available and they were very easy with that. They were willing to do an after-hours call. They came in, took care of it very quickly and was done.

    The fan on my AC would turn on, but then after so long, it would just turn off. American Home Shield sent someone out right away. As soon as I made the claim, right away, I already got the information on who was supposed to come and who would do it. Then the next day, he called me. It was an awesome process. It was quick and fast, and I'm happy with it. The contractor was great. He was very knowledgeable, explained a lot of stuff to me, and he checked everything out.

    15 years of patronage and ultimately failed to replace AC. To make a long story short it took a month and a half to replace a compressor on a 30 year old central AC unit. It worked for a little bit, but within a month the system was back to not cooling the house below 85. Two more visits by the contractor where they found "nothing mechanically wrong," I got a second opinion and replaced my AC within a week, but because I didn't want to wait weeks or months to go through their bureaucracy they refuse to reimburse me. It went over 2 and half months total with multiple visits and service fees just to get back to where I started. Never mind they had my tenants with infants and elderly in a house with no or barely functioning central air in the middle of an Alabama summer. I was worried about getting sued and could not wait a moment longer. SAVE YOUR MONEY and AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST in my honest opinion.

    I will break this review down in stages from initiation to completion so that reviewers can skim through to an area they find most helpful. The call for help: We had a series of extraordinary events leading to the requirement to call for help, from HVAC issues to plumbing. So when you first get on the line with the customer service department, you have to navigate through a series of computer generated voice prompts to get to the appropriate department you need.

    Then you will have to wait on the line sometimes, due to the volume of calls received during the time of your call. Once you get past this, you'll finally get to a customer service agent that will listen to you. However, they all tend to read a scripted response, instead of listening with the intent to learn, then respond appropriately. Why so apologetic is the question that always looms in my mind over time I call. "I'm sorry to hear about that so & so issue that your experiencing, blah, blah, blah."

    Onward to the solution portion of the call for help: They will place you on a brief hold, and then return with the assigning of a technician, or company. They'll ask if you have any additional questions or issues that need to be addressed, and finally confirm the payment of the $75 co-pay to end the call. You'll have to be somewhat understanding in regards to the date/time of the assigned technician's arrival to your residence from anywhere between 24 hours to a couple of days depending on the number of previous customer's they have ahead of you in line.

    The assigned company's initial call, and assignment of the technician to come to your residence: You will usually get a call from the customer service agent associated with the company fixing the problem shortly after they have been assigned from American Home Shield to finalize when they will be able to come and complete the work intended. You'll also receive an e-mail, text to your mobile device or combination of both. Don't delete this important information. This is your confirmation of who is scheduled to come to your residence. In the event that they fail to reach out to you, you'll have this information so that you can get a hold of them. Just remember that in this digital age of things, some things indeed do fall apart including calls, and emails. If you don't hear from them, don't hesitate to reach out, as a rule of thumb, the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

    When the company gives you a call for scheduling note that they are mostly friendly, professional, and attentive; they're also willing to work around your schedule if you need them to. When I state "mostly friendly", is the fact that they are human, and as with all of us, we all have bad days sometimes. This shouldn't reflect on how American Home Shield operates, nor that of each company which is an independently contracted company working with American Home Shield to help you resolve your day to day issues involving your home.

    The arrival of the technician to your residence: Prior to the technician arriving, in most cases they'll give you a courtesy call to confirm that you are home, and let you know that they are on the way. I have in some cases received a courtesy text message introducing the technician, with a photo, contact information, licensing information, as well as a chance to rate them with their company once the job was done. That is an awesome feature, and in my opinion should be included with every technician assigned to come to your residence; as these days it is sometimes hard to trust the folk that enter your home.

    When they arrive, they will first have to assess the problem to see what is the exact problem, then come up with an appropriate solution for repairs that have to be made. Technician may be able to fix the problem immediately, in a lot of cases this is true, and your heart-ache is relieved. Though sometimes they'll have to leave your home to go get parts, and schedule a return time/date (if needed) to complete the work.

    * With regards to scammers, and hood-winkers: It is best practice to have a printed copy of your contract so that you can reference it if the need arises. Some contractors will try to tell you that based on their assessment, you'll have to pay an out of pocket expense that isn't covered by your American Home Shield warranty; ranging from a couple of dollar's to upwards of thousands in some cases.

    The remedy is to: First know what your coverage contract states you are covered for *(address discrepancies in coverage before you have a problem), do not fearing telling the contractor that you want to request a second opinion through American Home Shield, not be in so much of a haste to fix the issue that you fail to research the solution *(knowledge opens the eyes of the blind), request to have discounts applied to the final bill as an American Home Shield customer, any manufacturer's rebates, and any online discounts that you can find to help reduce the overall cost; in the event that you have no choice but to pay an out-of-pocket expense. You can even see if it's possible to buy the part directly at a cost savings store to help you save even more, then ask the technician to install it if they're willing to go that route.

    Prior to them leaving: After the work has been completed: ask them to show you what was repaired, if parts were replaced, you would like to see/have the new packaging to verify that it was newly purchased, check the operation of the repaired item if possible to ensure correct operation with no issues such as leaks if water is involved.

    Finally finished: Once everything is complete, good or bad tell them about it. Write a review, call the company that fixed the issue, and write a review on American Home Shield, this venue, and/or The Better Business Bureau. Consumers need your voice to help them make educated decisions, help navigate through sophomoric insight, lateral issues that others have experienced, and the understanding that reporting bad workmanship might help the company through educating their tech's, relieving them of their duties, or in the worst case scenario lose their contract with American Home Shield. I hope that this review helps within the how-to department of ratings. Wishing you many blessings going forward in all of your future endeavors, and I thank you sincerely for reading this review.

    American Home Shield has been very helpful but then their contractors are slow. I've had claims when everything goes smoothly. I prefer submitting claims online and usually, the transaction is pretty smooth from getting someone to call me to setting up the appointment. The issue is the process after that. Once it's in the contractor's hands, I'm left on my own.

    Before, I've had an electrician come who was very helpful and did more than he had to. Now however, I have two claims that are still open and it's been a couple of weeks already. I can't get anything resolved. I just found out that the contractor has 24 hours to make the order to American Home Shield. I called the contractor a week after the claim and they have not submitted the order. AHS then got involved, gave them a call and got the parts ordered. But then, the contractor came in with the part and told me that the part came in broken and needed to be reordered.

    I'm gonna call American Home Shield again today to find out if the part was actually ordered already for them to come back. With them, it's like I'm my own adjuster. When I call AHS, they get involved and make the call but then there's nobody else following up but me. Once the contractor is in place, I can't really call and say I don't like them and that AHS should get me somebody else. I have to go through the process. Once I get AHS on the phone and involved to help me, I'm happy with the service. If I was dealing with them directly without the company backing me up or giving them a call, I think it would be even harder for me to do it alone. It's the reason why I have this policy to begin with.

I used to be in refrigeration so I could kinda point the technician in the right direction. It was the fan motor upstairs. It was the one that blows through the heater.

This was the third time I used the contract I have. And the first time was great, the second time I had an issue because I have a garbage disposal that stopped working, and that was a really bad experience because the guy came and he said, "These stop working, they burn out. I'll be back in 24 hours or 48 hours with a replacement." But he never came back out.

    And then, when I contacted AHS, they told me that he had put in the report that it was due to a surge. Surges were uncovered so then, I paid out of pocket and I had another company come out and put another garbage disposal in its place. And I asked them, "Do you see any signs of a surge there?" And they were like, "No. These just die over time and this one's really old." So, it was just that person that put that in the report. And then, even when I called and I said, "Is there anyone else I can speak to? Is there anyone I can appeal to?" And they said no. So, I was like dead in the water with that one.

    The AC wasn’t cooling, so we called American Home Shield. They sent out Total Air Services and they were horrible. They came out and changed the part. They left, but a week later, it was still not cool. So we called back and we had to wait another week for an appointment. So then they came out again. They changed something out, and this happened on three occasions. On the fourth time, they said that they called some man from Atlanta, and he was gonna fix the problem. The man from Atlanta went upstairs in the attic, and He was the first one that went there. When he touched the board, it flamed up. So then he said that they need to order a relay switch and a control board, and he left.

    We kept calling Total Air Services and they just said five more days. After a month, we called American Home Shield and they said they would send somebody out. RR Jones went up there and said that the whole system was busted and that there was nothing they could do. So American Home Shield said that RR Jones can buy the unit and install it. So they went that day, picked it up and installed it. But it only worked for one day and we called them back out. They came the same exact day and fixed it. And then the next day, at the same exact time, the same thing happened, so we called them back. They said that the outside unit was not working. Once they put the attic unit in, then the compressor burnt up on the outside unit.

    This claim has been going on since July 21st. My mother is 80-years-old and she has congestive heart failure. The only place she can take a bath is in the side of the house where the air-conditioner’s broke. RR Jones called American Home Shield and told them what the problem was. They also told them that the compressor needed to replaced and that they could get one right now. But American Home Shield said that they need to order it. They ordered it on Thursday. On Friday my husband called American Home Shield, and the lady said that the problem was the cost and that was why they won’t let the contractor get it. At this point, I don’t care about cost. I care about my mother’s health, and that we had been so patient since July 21st, and we still get nothing.

    I called American Home Shield today and we still don't know if the part is in yet. American Home Shield has been very nice and very accommodating up until this point. It’s red tape, and I understand. There’s rules you gotta follow, but I know they make exceptions to the rule. And we have waited a very long time and have been very patient. I’m happy with what American Home Shield has done, and I just signed another year contract with them. But I need them to be sensitive to my mother’s health needs. My husband is 74 and he has high blood pressure. He has an aneurysm in his heart. At some point, money needs to be thrown out the door. They need to call me and say that it’s gonna cost me $300 if I want RR Jones to go pick up the part, and I need to pay the difference. And I’m fine with that.

    The first gentleman who was supposed to come out here was from Diaz Brothers. He called me and asked me to give him the make, the model and the serial number on both the refrigerator and the dishwasher. He said that he was gonna see if he had the part for it. If not, he was gonna have to order it. But he never called me back. So I had to call him the next day. He said that he didn't have the part and that he was gonna have to order it. But after 10 days, I didn't get any response, not even a courtesy phone call to let me know he had ordered the part and whether it was gonna get here within a certain time.

    When I called back to the home warranty office to let them know that I haven't received anything from them, the representative told me that the part came in on a Wednesday. The contractor had also said that when he went to inspect the refrigerator and the dishwasher, he wasn't able to get the serial number. But he never came here. I had to give it to him and send him a picture of it. So that was one lie. The contractor also didn't call me until Monday and he told me that the part had barely arrived that Monday. That made two lies! So I didn't want him near my home at all. I called American Home Shield and said I didn't want anything to do with that company so they got me this other company.

    The technician from United Services of Arizona installed the icemaker and told us that it would take about 24 hours for it to start working. But after five days, I called back to let them know that it was not working at all. It did try to make some ice about three days ago. But I guess the whole thing was flooded inside and it just froze everything inside. There was no water coming in before that too. So it probably was not the icemaker but the line that sends the water to the icemaker.

    I called the warranty company to let them know. But the lady that I was talking with was gonna get the first contractor. I said I already requested I did not want them to come here. I wanted the same people that came out here the second time. I told her I didn't know how she was gonna do it but she had to fix this. But she was reluctant and I was getting upset because she did not wanna do everything I was telling her to do. We're the ones paying for the service and she was giving me a lot of hassle on that.

    I also talked to United Services of Arizona but they said they couldn't do anything. They said I would have to call American Home Shield for their technician to go back. They told me that they have something open on Friday and I said I would let American Home Shield know. But when I did, that lady was not very helpful. She said that she kept calling the office to set up an appointment but she couldn't reach them. She kept saying that they were closed. But I had reached them. Then she said she was gonna send an email so I waited three days but nothing happened. When I called back, I got somebody else and this gentleman helped me out a lot more quickly. He said there was nothing on Friday but he could get me in on Monday. I told him the sooner, the better, and I thanked him. So I had a mixture of both good and bad experiences with the representatives.

    I submitted a claim to American Home Shield on the phone and the rep I spoke with was helpful. The schedule overlapped a holiday then, so right after the holiday, the contractor came out. We thought the work they provided was fine. It’s just that we seem to have the same problem. The air now begins to seem like it’s not as strong as when they first put the coolant in. Usually what happens is, we turn it off because the weather changes so we don’t need it after a while. But we have the same recurring problem. We think that there’s a leak going on. We still have not resolved it so we’d have to call every year to get it activated.

    Our house is older so I've been making a lot of claims at American Home Shield, so I'm very familiar with the system. I had an issue a couple of years ago with the dryer taking three weeks to get fixed. Recently, I had a claim which turned out to be two separate issues, and Rapp's Heating and AC was out the next day. The tech came in the timeframe that he said he was gonna be here, he fixed the issue and he was gone. He was very friendly and he cleaned up after himself. He also explained to me what was wrong. They've been here a few times and I've been happy with them every time they've come out.

    With this contract, we've been with American Home Shield for a year and a half, but we've had three different houses. And with our second house, we went with a different company and regretted it, and then came right back. AHS is so much better. I started the claim online, but because I'm pregnant, I called to make sure that it got expedited. At first there was a little bit of confusion between Harding and AHS if the claim was filed, but it all worked out.

    It’s really hard to communicate with AHS. They don’t understand me and I don’t understand them. Every time I’ve called in a claim and checked status on it, it was like I’m talking to people that have no idea what’s going on. And all that they did was read their notes and if the guy couldn’t understand what I was trying to tell him, he was gonna put down notes that he thought was right. They need people that knows what they’re talking about.

    When I had a claim and Walker Plumbing was assigned to me, they had the same problem whenever AHS would call them. Even the first air-condition people that I had working for me through American Home Shield, which was Best Air-Conditioning and Heating, dropped American Home Shield because they could not get across with the people there. They didn’t wanna work with them anymore. But everything got taken care of with respect to the thing that were working on for me. As for my last claim where Walker Plumbing came out, after the repair was done, everything works fine. The techs were excellent and they were on the job. They were also considerate and very professional. At the time, I had an air-conditioning problem and it was 110 outside. They were sweating and still, they were as nice as gold.

    Other than that, I was on the phone the other day with American Home Shield and I was on-hold for 55 minutes at one time. The whole thing lasted about an hour and 25 minutes. These people couldn't get anything together. I asked one woman that I was talking to if she could put somebody on there that understood me so I could understand her and she wouldn’t give me anybody. It was really bad and I’m about ready to drop them. Aside from that, when my pool filter sand needed to be changed and I tried submitting a claim with AHS, the guys that wanted to do it was gonna charge $400-some but AHS don’t cover that. I was gonna be charged that, so I cancelled the warranty.

    When we had something wrong with our AC, my daughter called American Home Shield and they set up an appointment. The person who came was very good. It was bloody hot and we were without AC for three days, so that was good. I'm 86 so when you're old, that's a little longer to be without the AC. However, last year we had a problem with AHS. We have an AC upstairs too which is still not working. The contractor came in and they said it was a $1,500 charge. It really shocked me a little bit. I thought the whole idea for AHS is that you are protected for that. And I was really upset with that. I would not recommend AHS to anybody.

    My most recent claim was with an electrical service contractor, Electrical Service Pros, and they're one of the only contractors that I've had a good experience with. The tech's name was Alonzo and they did a great job. But my experience with American Home Shield as a whole has been very bad. I've had contractors come to the house to tell me they have to charge me outside of American Home Shield for something then if it still doesn't work, they would come fix it. Then they tell American Home Shield that they don't work on whatever they were working on. So it's been extremely predatory. All in all, I would say that the warranty is a scam.

    Submitting the claim is a learning process as well because the system is built in such a way that if you don't report it, they're gonna charge you. That wasn't really clearly explained. The online process is somewhat straightforward except there's a lot of limitations on what you can and can't select. That's because they want you to put the claim in as two separate tickets so they can charge $75 twice. People should call the contractors themselves. It'll be cheaper.

Our garage door spring broke and Flash Garage Door Service was done in one visit. They were one of the best ones we’ve had so far. Just super. One thing AHS added recently is the ability to at least choose the contractor. More of that would be good, to have some choices there instead of being forced to let them arrange whoever they want.

    Some American Home Shield reps are very good. Some of them I can barely understand. Some usually don’t get what the problem is. It’s a mixed bag. When 1st American Plumbing came, there was nothing much to be done. All we needed to do was push a button. It was battery-operated, but I had no idea. No one ever told me about it when they installed the brand new water heater a couple of years ago, or it wasn’t in that even. It was just a fluke. It was a waste of time and money.

    The problem is that somebody comes out and says, “Okay, this needs to be fixed or replaced.” Home Shield finds about 15 different things that they don’t pay for. They’re only going to pay a fraction of. And the guy that comes out gives me a bid on a whole new, whatever, and it’s always overpriced. Now because this summer has been a hot one, I’ve had air conditioning problems two, three times out here, and every time I’ve been able to get things fixed just with a guy that I know at a significant discount from what the vendor from Home Shield sent out, was willing to do it for.

    Also, the cash out prices are absurdly low. They’re next to none. They're an insult. They’re laughable. So, getting a cash out really isn’t worth it unless you can get something completed for significantly less than what the worker comes out for that the Home Shield sends out. And I’ve had that work both ways. This last summer, I’ve had one where I went ahead and I took their work because it was about a break-even with the people that I knew. And the other one, I couldn't even take the cash because it wasn’t even near close. This is going to be the end of it. I’m not gonna renew. I’m sick of it.

    I called AHS to file my claims and the reps I talked to were good. One of the claims was for my washing machine and I dealt with a vendor called 7-H. They came out and one of the techs forgot to connect the water hose. It flooded half of my house. All my carpets had been wet then they had to put holes in my sheetrock and ventilation. So, the tech had to turn it on to their insurance company. They finally came out, did a guesstimate, and they're gonna get back with us on fixing our home. They were the ones that checked the stove out as well and the tech said that it was the breaker. But when the rep from Kelley Brothers tech came, he said it wasn’t the breaker. That prolonged me another week for somebody to get here and when they came back out, they acknowledged that it is the breaker. But all in all, I've been waiting for almost a month to get the stove fixed and going out to eat can be very costly.

    As of right now, I got off the phone with Home Shield and they were telling me that my breaker box is covered. So, I've been trying to get a hold to Kelley Brothers. I called all three numbers and I can't even get on the answering machine to leave messages. It's just ringing, so I don't know what's going on. Other than that, the techs that came out were really knowledgeable and kinda knew what was going on. Still, I don't know what the screening process is for the vendors but these last couple of vendors that AHS sent out makes you scratch your head.

    Thus far, I've had a great experience with American Home Shield. However, I had a problem with them recently. I have Pinch a Penny take care of my pool every week, scrub it, take care of the water and make sure it’s balanced. They also check for calcium which only forms when water has been in a pool and no rain or fresh water has been in there. Every once in a while, we pump out four inches of water when we don't get rain. That alleviates the calcium buildup. However, Pinch a Penny dropped American Home Shield since they were approached by district supervisors to make up excuses not to cover claims. Pinch a Penny used to sell AHS and it was very alarming for me to hear that. There are a couple of companies out there that have told me this as well.

    It's considered fraud to solicit a company to lie about something. That's how they get paid with less claims and if they could deny them. Even so, that’s not gonna give American Home Shield a good reputation. For my recent claim, they initially sent South Tampa Pool and Spa. I really got really hot with them on the phone as they were trying to deny the claim. I got through to a supervisor to have a second opinion and R1 Pool Service came out. They saw that the cell that was the subject of my claim was completely clean and it just failed just because it failed. The tech from R1 said that he doesn't know what Tampa Pool and Spa is talking about. There was no calcium buildup. He did all the tests and the pool was perfectly balanced. AHS covered my claim, put a new cell in and I was very happy.

AHS is very much worth it. It would’ve paid for itself in just the one call we had. Our ice maker wasn’t working and that took two different service visits. The contractor came out the first time and my ice maker was working intermittently. They replaced the unit but it didn’t work at all. The guys said it would take 24 to 48 hours for the unit to get cold and do all the things it needed to do. But the ice maker never made any ice.

    We called American Home Shield back and they opened another claim. The contractor came out and ordered a new part. It took three weeks for the new part to come. The first time, it took about two weeks for the part to come. My wife was there during the repair but I talked to the contractor on the phone. He was great.

Supervisor advised that he will send out yet another 3rd party company to conduct a full diagnostics on the unit to determine what is going on with the central air. So it seems we will be waiting again to have our central air conditioner replaced and/or repaired!

    Heat outside has been well over 90' with inside temperatures in the upper 80's (near 90' degrees!). We have a 3 and 4 year old and the heat inside is insane!! My wife is a real estate agent and refers home warranty companies to buyers all the time, because they are meant to protect homeowners in these situations.

This was on a Friday and they informed me someone would call me on Monday and they gave me the phone number to the contractor in case they didn't call. I waited Monday and received no call. I called the contractor first thing Tuesday and had to leave a message. I called again Tuesday afternoon and had to leave another message. Then I called first thing Wednesday morning and finally reached someone. I explained the situation and he said' "I don't know why AHS has my name because I don't even work with them." Now, I have been without air for 5 days and it is over 100 degrees in my house.

    I called AHS back and informed them the contractor is stating he doesn't work with AHS. So they set me up with another contractor AmeriServe. They finally came out and told me I needed a new compressor. He said they had to call AHS so they can order the part. Once the part comes in AHS will send it to them and they will put it in. I called AHS to see how long it would take to get the part and they told me two days. So now it is two weeks with no air. I have a sick grandbaby and a dog. This is no different than leaving your dog in a hot car. It was just as hot.

    I waited two days and no part. I called AHS every day to see where my part was. When I called I was either hung up on or treated like crap. The times I asked for a manager I was hung up on. This went on for a month. A MONTH WITH NO AIR! I advised AHS that I had a sick baby and a dog and I was told that wasn't their problem. ARE YOU ** SERIOUS! It would have been a big problem for AHS if she would have died from the heat. I would have been getting more than $780.00. I cannot believe a company can operate like this. My husband is a home builder and he is always asked about home warranties. Well, unless AHS makes this right he will not give any referrals to AHS.

    I have not contacted an attorney yet but if AHS doesn't make this right that is next on my list. I will post on social media, contact the news station, call an attorney, and contact the BBB. I expect as a business you want customers and want a good reputation. I would like AHS to make it right before they are forced to make it right. I am so angry! I have been ignored as I have sent several letters and no response! All as I can say is I hope you will make it right and I receive a response.

    Oh I received a response not even from Rex Tibbens but, from some Amanda chick who refused to give me my money back which is BS after everything I went through. They don't give a crap about their customers. I will make sure all my husband's homebuilders know not to sign up with AHS. They are a nightmare and don't care. If I were you I would run from this company. Rex can't even respond to the customer. Then they have the nerve to send me crap in the mail and on my email to sign up again. I would NEVER sign up again.

    The fan motor burned up on our AC. I was very impressed with Cutting Edge Total Comfort. It was quite warm at the time. The unit that we have is a Trane unit and the parts are not that easily accessible. This happened to be a two-speed fan that needed to be replaced, and they replaced it with a one-speed fan just for two days in order to get the two-speed fan. I thought that was awfully nice because they could have easily said that, "We can't fix it. You'll have to wait for the two days or three days or whatever it'll cost the other one to come in." Their work was very professional, and I was very happy with it.

    To submit the claim, we called American Home Shield and spoke to a representative. The AC was out and we had just returned from vacation. So, the service was timely, and it was necessary to do it to expedite it as quickly as possible. Our experience was good. I haven't had many claims, and I'm glad I haven't, but that was done very professionally. I appreciate them doing the extra mile, so that we could have some AC upstairs.

    The door springs in the garage door literally broke at once, and I saw afterwards that they were rusty. Surprisingly, one door apparently put a lot of load on the other one and the other one broke, too. The garage door was down, so in the morning when I went to open it, I couldn’t open the door. The car got stuck there and I was in a desperate situation.

    I put a request at American Home Shield, and I have to give them a huge credit. Compared to before, when you called their number for any reason, it took an hour for people to answer. These days it goes so quickly, which is impressive and I really appreciate it. That’s an amazing initial step. Also, their request form is really good the way that it is, though I would add a free note type of section for when I submit a request for service, so I can fill in some notes that this is what I would like. Otherwise, everything is great. AHS has always been really good, but on this part, it’s unbelievably important and improved dramatically.

    Another thing that is really good with American Home Shield that’s never been before is that when you're scheduled with the contractor who is coming for repair, you’re getting an e-mail and then if you click on the link, it tells you what the next step is and when the schedule is. When the repairman is on the way to your house, they give you an indication when he will be arriving and it shows on the map the route that he’s taking to come to your house, which in my opinion is really good. That's a really good improvement. The repair man that came to our house was outstanding. He was so good at his job. Within 15 minutes, he was done with everything, cleaned up the whole thing and then he left. Very professional, great service. American Home Shield surpassed what they should do.

    I called American Home Shield three or four times for the same leakage issue at my rental property. Each time, somebody would start talking to me and the line would go off. They never call back and I just kept calling and calling. Initially, the two people I spoke to kept going back and forth. They didn't actually say what the issue was. They didn't diagnose and they were not patient enough to look and see. There was the AC tech, and then there was a plumber from JED. The first guy came because my issue was supposedly an AC problem. But then, the AC guy said it was a plumbing problem.

    Luckily, the last lady AHS rep I spoke to was very thorough. She went through the records and read everything. She said we would try a new company, YES Mechanical, instead of JED and the other company. She was very patient on the phone. The YES technician said that the leakage was in the main pipe that linked all of the condos from the third floor down to the ground level where my condo is. They said that the HOA should get a plumber to unclog that main pipe because it was a pipe that linked the whole building. Nevertheless, all of the techs that AHS sent were very polite and good in their own way. I was very happy with the YES technician because finally, we knew what was wrong and the problem was solved. The leakage issue stopped when the HOA plumber came.

    The YES technician didn't charge anything because the AC was working and the issue with that was only because the tenants don't know how to adjust it. He put it on for them. Each time I have an AC problem, YES is my preferred contractor. Their rep was very communicative. He sent me an email and spoke with me. Despite the initial issues, I still recommend AHS.

    I made a claim to American Home Shield over the phone, and their reps were very helpful. On the initial call, the contractor came out within three days. Then with the first time not being resolved, they had to come back again weeks later, and that one responded within about three days from our contact. They had to order a new unit for outside and the whole coil unit on the inside. They came a week and a half after that visit, and then, it was resolved because they replaced everything they had to replace. Everything is working great.

    The contractor provided excellent service when they re-keyed all my locks and they’re all to the same key. I had to pay extra for some extra locks, so I paid ahead and did 12 locks. It was awesome service and the technician was really good. He even went beyond what he was supposed to do to make sure all the deadbolts had the holes he put on. He said that he would make everything secured as he could like it was his home and he definitely did that. Everything went really good with that one and when I was calling it in, it went smoothly. In our last house, the warranty company didn’t have that re-key service. So, I was really excited about being offered that because I didn’t even know they have that stuff till we got this warranty. So, that was impressive and I was very satisfied.

    We had a water heater replacement and the experience was good when I submitted my claim online. After submitting it, I got a call from the contractor. The technicians did well and since the repair, everything has been looking good. The water heater is better than our previous equipment and it has been working great. We’ve had the contractors out a few times and the technicians are very good. They do a great job. However, we had a horrible experience with the service when we had our oven fixed. The owner of the company was very rude to me and my wife.

    I was also wondering about some parts because the contractor said that it was covered and then, AHS said it wasn’t. It turned out the part was covered. We’ve only had our house for a year and a half, and we've had the American Home Shield warranty since then. We've had a lot of things go out that needed to be replaced and AHS has been good.

    The AC stopped working, so I called up American Home Shield and made a claim. So, they sent an AC guy out and he said that it was an electrical issue and not our AC. But it was like he wanted to hurry up and get over the phone to the next person that he was seeing. But I understood him. He was a little bit above his head. But I was really tense at that point. When I called American Home Shield to schedule the electrical guy to come out, the lady felt my tension that I had in my voice. She told me to sit by my phone, and that there would be somebody calling me and set up an appointment to meet me.

    I took the whole day off and I waited for someone to call me. But nobody called me that Thursday until Friday at 8 o’clock in the morning. As soon as it turned 8:00, I called American Home Shield. And the lady said that they contracted out to this person to call me and they have 24 hours to call me. I told her that that would have been something nice for me to know about yesterday because I would have asked for those information. It's irritating because she should have given me the contractor's number so I could call them and see if I could get a better and quicker resolution. I would have probably see if I could get somebody there that Friday because I have a mom that has asthma and I have a little AC unit, but she was only stuck in that room.

    I called the contractor and they told me that they wouldn't get out here until next Tuesday. I explained to them my situation and they said they would be here on Saturday. They scheduled from 12:00 to 4:00, and they came over at 8:00 in the morning. So, that made it so much better because I had to send my mom to a friend’s house that one night. The tech was wonderful. He got my AC up and running again, which was great. This guy had nothing but great things to do. It was just an inconvenience on my side, but everybody else did their job.

    I called American Home Shield to fix a garage door. Everything was done reasonably and in order. They told me how much it would cost upfront, and it was $75 per service call. I got somebody out immediately. The tech came out the very next day. He was very good, quick, and respectful. He told me what he was doing.

    We've been carrying AHS for about a year now and when I submit a claim, I do it online. I love navigating through their website. I have absolutely no problems. It's been easy to navigate and speak to somebody. All of our concerns and questions have always been answered. Within 24 hours, of submitting a claim, the contractors normally call to schedule. We've had contractors several times and we loved them.

    Making a request for service online with American Home Shield was easy to do and the contractor from Precision Doors, Jason, arrived on time. He looked at my garage door and told me that the rail was bent. I got a phone call from American Home Shield and they told me that it wasn’t covered under the warranty, so he gave me some choices as to how I could have it repaired and different levels of service. I chose to have the rail repaired and he greased up the chain and changed out the little wheels that run through it when it gets lifted. It was a good experience.

    Our most recent claim with American Home Shield where Twin Rivers Heating and Air Conditioning came out was excellent. I would highly recommend them. Tony is very professional. When I submit my claims with AHS, I speak to a representative. Their system is not online-friendly for me. For some reason, I’m having issues with getting them to get mine set up. Every time I call, I get an international person. AHS doesn’t do that and they say, “Well, I’m gonna send you to tech support.” They send me to tech support and it’s an international person back again, and I can’t get it set up online for me, so I have no other choice but to call them. If you ask for an agent in the United States, they should be able to get one. The agents' language is good, but when it comes down to extra communication, they don’t have that communication skills. And I don’t have their language skills, so that’s a problem.

    I am a realtor, American home shield came to my old company every month to promote how good they are and I believed them. Even after I moved to another company, I still recommended american home shield to my buyers and have them for my new home as well. Our AC stopped working today, we called AHS, they told us they do not send contractors on weekends... On a day it is 110 F outside and rising swiftly inside to unbearable conditions, we must wait until 3-6 pm Monday- three full days from now for the AC company to evaluate the problem. It could be days after for the repair to be made.

    After reading the entire contract, there is no mention of a blackout of service on weekends. What the contract does state is 'loss of cooling...is an emergency as defined by the Nevada Revised Statutes...service will commence not later than 24 hrs after the report of the claim.' After years of referring AHS, I will never recommend American Home Shield to any clients in the future.

    American Home Shield consumer affairs reached out to me and we were able to come to a resolution that was to my satisfaction.

    The person who handled the claim Stacy ** was very professional and pleasant to deal with. I am awaiting a check for reimbursement for the purchase of the microwave and as soon as I receive that I will be 100% satisfied. My confidence in AHS is restored.

    Original Review: Aug. 31, 2019

    Microwave molding cracked and handle loose. Microwave 10+years old. American Home Shield sent repairman to evaluate, his conclusion was it was caused by excessive force. Claimed denied. "Not normal wear and tear" due to excessive force. I asked AHS to explain what was excessive force on a microwave installed above the oven. They couldn't answer so sent out another company. I made a huge error in judgement, when second person came I stated "the previous company denied the claim for excessive force" could you explain to me or show me what that would be? He wouldn't answer and put report in quoting the info I gave him. Once again denied. After a very long conversation they agreed to send out another company.

    The microwave could have been replaced for the cost of all the evaluations. The third repair person sent a different report, stating that the damage was caused from the heat from the burners below which cracked the molding and made handle loose. Claim was denied once again this time was because it wasn't normal wear and tear. The microwave and oven were installed over 10 years ago and we bought this house with it as it was. I asked AHS if we were not suppose to use the burners on the stove! They won because I was afraid. Because the door was loose this could be a health hazard to my family and replaced the microwave....

    Warranty basically covers nothing. There is always something in fine print that says it won't be covered. Had this warranty for over a year and called for service 3 times, none of which were covered. After you cancel, doesn't matter how long you've been with them, they tack on a big cancellation fee no matter what. STAY AWAY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD and FIND A REAL HOME WARRANTY COMPANY!

    I haven't missed a single payment since I started with AHS. My refrigerator stopped cooling without warning so I immediately contact AHS. I'm initially told by AHS rep it will be 6 to 10 days before someone will come out to look. I tell the rep that is unacceptable. They defer to their dispatch team to get someone to come out the next day. That company never called me to schedule appointment. So I called them and they tell me, "Oh we won't be able to come out sometime next week."

    If I do the math the money I pay monthly to AHS could have purchased a new refrigerator. This service from my perspective is a waste of money and really useless. On top of that I had to pay $100 in addition to my monthly payment and I still can't get someone to even call me to set up an appointment to look at the unit. So I now have to miss multiple days of work, pay monthly payment in addition a service charge and what do I receive in return? Absolutely nothing! I must admit they have a great business model if you're into scamming people out of their money.
