    I paid premiums for years and was quick to recommend them to home buyers. I will NEVER do that again! Their customer service is the WORST I’ve ever experienced, and their whole end game is to get you to finally give up and pay for the issue yourself. They block you from posting anything negative, and I’ll bet that THIS bad review will never be seen either. RUN AWAY FROM THIS SHAM OF A COMPANY!

    We live in TX. We are going one month without AC. We have degrees of 103 and higher, inside it's 92-96. I have medical conditions. We have been lied to every day that we call, and messages on Messenger. They delivered a part to Colorado that said it was ours, it is not. Asked to speak to a supervisor and was denied, have recordings of a call that will make you scratch your head. We have been a loyal customer for 20 years. No one can help us. This company deserves to be shut down. I have been sick to my stomach and major headaches. This is so wrong that they would treat people like this. Every phone call that we make, they say something different. So frustrating.

    First tech was on the phone 3 plus hours getting instructions on how to rewire around a short. No short was ever determined. I told him I want the shorted component replaced, if there was one, not wired out of the system so he removed all the 5 or more extra wires he put in to circumvent the problem. Let me backtrack a bit. My ac system only blew warm air and I noticed the condenser outside was not functional. That was the nature of my service call. When tech arrived first words were, “Have you paid for the service call?” Of course I did that is why you are here. He checked the heater and it functioned well. He checked the ac and only the inside blower came on and the outside condenser still not functional.

    He then stated, “It’s probably low on refrigerant and we charge $95.00 a pound and American Home Shield will only pay for $10.00 a pound so you are responsible for paying me $85.00 a pound and it could take up to 6 or more pounds of refrigerant.” Are you willing to pay me for that today before I continue? I said, “If you can get the condenser outside working I have no problem paying for the amount that is missing.” He never checked if any was missing. So he spent a little time looking at everything then made a phone call. He spent 3 hours and 20 minutes at my house and most of it was talking to someone getting instructions on what to do next. He was here two hours before he checked the condenser fuse box to see if the fuses were blown. Probably the first thing that should have been checked. Finally after three hours he said, “I think I got it”. So I looked over his shoulder and asked why all those extra wires.

    He said he was re-wiring around the problem. I asked why not replace the bad component? He stated that, "This is how we do it." I said it looks Jerry rigged. He said if I didn’t like it he would put everything back the way it was. I said I don’t so he started angrily yanking the added wires out and told me he will be done in 10 minutes. He then picked up his tools and said he would be back in with the paperwork to sign. I then checked the unit and discovered the heater no longer worked and the fan motor would not shut off. Upon returning with the paperwork I asked him to fix the things he broke, heater and fan. So he unplugged the unit and said it’s broken. Get the next technician to fix it. He insisted on me signing a statement saying that the previous technician broke the unit. I said there were no other technicians near this unit. He seemed irritated that I wouldn’t sign. Made a phone call and left. I relayed all this information to American Home Shield.

    American Home Shield then contacted another company to fix my unit. The new technician, after 15 minutes or so said he could not figure out the mess the previous technician made. He then said the unit is old and should be replaced. I said, “That’s something you have to clear with American Home Shield.” Twenty four hours later, plus or minus an hour, American Home Shield contacted me and said it’s been approved but there are some materials they won’t pay for which adds up to $2,900.00. I asked if I could get a second opinion and the answer was No. I guess, somewhere in the contract it states that American Home Shield does not pay for everything. Customer pays for refrigerant, any wires, piping copper or pvc, any vents or adapters needed. You are subject to whatever the contractor wants to charge you. For example, $385.00 for copper piping.

    The copper is already there. They only need to add a couple of feet because the new unit is smaller. So today is Friday and when I called American Home Shield to complain about the prices and that now my heater does not work. They said they will not change the prices. Instead the first technician will be sent back out to correct their mistakes. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told I would get the same answer from them. I asked to speak to a supervisor anyway and was told, “I will give them the message and maybe they will call you next Wednesday, no guarantee that they will though. I will still put you on the schedule for the first technician.”

    So what I would get for $3,000.00 is a new unit inside my house that supplies heat and cool air. What I will not get is new ducts that run the air room to room. I won’t get new room vents. The condenser that’s outside won’t be replaced and will still be using the refrigerant that’s being outlawed in the U.S. in the year 2020 and the refrigerant that’s in my old unit is the same but I’m told it’s old and can’t be used on a new system even though they are putting the same refrigerant back in but with an adapter that I have to pay $285.00 for and charging $616.00 for the same refrigerant but fresher. I will not get a new thermostat either.

    So wouldn’t it be better to just cancel the warranty plan. Ask for all the money I have spent each month for an incomplete warranty and add $3,000.00 to the already $3000.00 that they want me to pay and get a whole new unit, top to bottom?? By-the-way, today, when I told American Home Shield that I did not want the first contractor to come back and fix their mistakes, broken heater and blower, they said they would send them out anyway. I guess American Home Shield will do what they want and customers have to live with it. I guess they don’t know me.

    I had to give it a star to share my horrible experience. But, it deserves no star because customer service is horrible and service people are incompetent!!! I placed my initial service call for my washer/dryer back in March. We are now a couple days shy of entering the month of September, so almost 6-months later, 8 or 9 service visits from 4 different service technicians, and several calls (including speaking with a couple of supervisors) my washer has been completely out for about 2 months. And dryer is still not completely drying. Finally, a technician with some sense came out and recommended for a replacement because the repair/replacement of the part that is needed would be more costly than a repair.

    I’ve been given nothing but the runaround from AHS regarding the replacement. I confirmed with a representative earlier this week that the technician report had come in and I would get a call back from the department authorized to move forward with the replacement. After a few days with not hearing back from AHS, I follow up this evening to be told that now they have not received the report. (I actually confirmed with the technician the report was already submitted.) DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - trust all negative reviewers, I didn’t and now I’m one!!!! HORRIBLE!!!

    I will recommend American Home Shield. I filed a claim for the AC and everything went fine. I just had to wait two weeks before they found a motor. What happened was that a motor on my air conditioning unit went out. I called American Home Shield on a Monday and that Wednesday, they sent someone out from Legum’s Heating & Cooling. The technician, John, was very awesome. He came, found the problem and told me everything that was going on.

    They told me that they will have a motor back on Thursday and they will put it in on Friday. But if they didn’t come in, then I will have to wait until the following Monday because they weren’t open on the weekend. I called back on Monday and the part came in on Tuesday so John came and put it in on the following Tuesday. It was burning up that weekend too. The temperature was really high. It was terrible. But John came back and fixed the AC, and it's been working ever since, thank God.

    American Home Shield is wonderful. We called them and said we have electrical outage due to a storm, and they weren’t sure that it was gonna be covered. Because my husband is disabled, an urgent was put through and Copher’s Quality Homes’ electrician came the next day. The electrician was gonna come the following week, but when we said, “Jeez, my husband is disabled, he has a heart condition, we have no electric, the heat, he's having a hard time,” they came the next day. That was good. And then, the tech said he put it through AHS, but they denied the claim because they said it was storm damage. So, we had to go through our own insurance company.

    The gentleman that works for Copher’s is a contractor on the side. He said if we hired him, he would be able to take care of us, which we did. We paid $1,000 deductible to Copher’s and he came out. He’s also an electrician so he did our box on top of our home. Somebody called today that wanted us to switch over to another type of outfit. We said we're switching from American Home Shield.

    We filed three claims online on the same day, one of which was for our GE Profile gas burner stove and GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator.

So, we had to order one simple part and they were able to get that in the same day. They were able to fix it very quickly. Even if I had to pay out-of-pocket, without American Home Shield, I could go to Authorized Services.

    We also had an electrical issue and it was just the ground-fault circuit interrupter on the exterior of the house. The contractor came in, tested it, and said, “I have to replace it, and we’re done. So, have a nice day.” Again, he was really quick and very thorough. Among the three claims, the plumbing issue is still problematic, but it is being addressed today. American Home Shield is worth my money. I paid my $75 deductible, and they took care of all the work.

But they send somebody, and then they would fix it, and again, I have to call. So, the other day, it was flooding, and there were mold issues. So, I ended up paying more. I’m expecting somebody tomorrow again to check the water heater. How many times do I have to call in a technician before they change the unit knowing it’s old? It’s frustrating sometimes. I don’t always call them. I do little fixes on my own. But then I’m paying American Home Shield for the bigger things. Sometimes, I don’t even call them. I just bring in my own people to fix my things because I know American Home Shield's contractor won't come immediately and I have to save water.

And there's a switch that controls how much refrigerant goes from the condenser to the inside unit, and that switch needed to be adjusted because there wasn't enough cooling going to the unit inside the house. AHS sent out Total Air Care to us and my girlfriend and I set everything up together. She was there at the house when the tech came out and she said that the guy was really nice. He fixed everything quickly and it was smooth. And we were lucky that the AC didn't need any refrigerant because that's where the money is needed. American Home Shield only pays for the first $10 worth, but that's because the price of it went up. All in all, everything went well and so far, AHS has been great. We've also been able to set the AC where we would normally put it to leave the house. Eventually, we're gonna have to replace it but for now, it's good.

    The AC claim that I recently had with American Home Shield went very well. I was very, very pleased with the individual who came. I’ve had some bad experiences in the past, but this person was extremely professional and extremely courteous. I have two AC units and the one I complained about was shot. But the tech always took it upon himself to also check the other unit, and it was also going. So he replaced the condenser in both units. If I ever had another problem, I would request him and his company in a heartbeat.

    With the bad experiences that I had, a lot of the technicians didn't speak English. It seems a lot of the technicians now are from Russia. So there’s definitely language barriers. It’s also a cultural thing, where there's a lack of respect. We have booties at the door. And my wife's point is either you put the booties on or you’re gonna wash my floors. That’s the two options. And some of the other people we had in the house were indignant to do that, and then, they would go outside with the booties on. It just defeats the whole purpose.

    In the past, if they didn't seem to have a fix for it, they would leave, and it still wouldn’t be operating properly. So, it was multiple calls. It’s refreshing when you bring in one person and identifies the problem. The recent AC guy took it apart himself to look at the other unit that they didn't think was working properly, and he fixed that one too because it would've been probably another month or so, and I would’ve been making another service call, so that was extremely helpful. Everything right now is working. So far, so good.

    The only issue I have with American Home Shield is that if you call American Home Shield to schedule an appointment on the phone to report an issue and get the service, it takes you forever to speak to a representative. I have hung on the phone for as long as an hour. I know now never to call at the beginning of the week. I don't have the time to come and hang on the phone and the only reason why I called was because there was something I couldn't do online. I wish they would allow us online to speak to a representative. You can only submit a claim, or not submit a claim and call. If I have an issue where I couldn't submit it online, I would like to speak to a representative to communicate through messaging and you couldn't. So, that's something that they can make on their website.

    I made a claim to American Home Shield on the internet and they immediately gave me Passion Plumbing but I didn't want them. I wanted Anchor, so I had to call and cancel that one and reinstate it. The girl did it over the phone. Anchor has done everything they can but the refrigerator is not getting cold enough, the ice maker is still not working and the freezer is not freezing the food. It's an older unit and I don't feel like Anchor is the issue.

    We noticed we had water coming in through the garage right from underneath. Our laundry room's wall is adjoining to the garage, so we went into the laundry room, and saw the faucet itself was leaking. So, we turned the water off right away, dried up what we could, and then put in a ticket. In the past, it took a couple days to have someone reach back out, which, if it was the dishwasher, I wouldn’t have been as worried about it. But given it was a leaking water to the washer, I wanted to get that addressed quickly.

    When we put the ticket in to American Home Shield, it told us who it was going to go to. We also followed up with a phone call directly to the plumber here locally to expedite that process a little bit. Then the contractor was out in a day or two after that. He was very professional and kind, and he was good to answer all my questions. He also said that if we had any other follow-up problems, we can reach out. So, it went well. All the contractors that had been sent out had been good and always very welcoming for a direct follow-up if needed.

    I had a microwave issue and American Home Shield sent Sears out. The guy was wonderful. He looked at the microwave and said it was so old. He realized he couldn't even find the repair parts for the microwave and he recommended a replacement for it. American Home Shield took about a week and a half to get back and say that they needed to replace it. It was a little annoying to not have the microwave fixed then they came back and said I had a choice of this, this or this for the replacement. And if I wanted to chip in some money, I could get something a little bit nicer. That was what I did.

    The guys who came to install the new microwave were awesome. It was a father-and-son team. They called ahead of time and knocked on the door. They looked at everything. I told them we needed to take the old microwave out and they very quickly and quietly did that. They didn't make a mess. They were also able to use the box of the new microwave to put the old one in so everything was neat and put together. I had measured ahead of time to make sure everything was gonna fit and everything did. It was fine.

    When I put the claim in with American Home Shield, it takes a couple of days for them to actually send a guy out. We were three days with no microwave when the Sears guy came. Also, after taking almost two weeks to get back to me about the replacement, there was the scheduling after that. I would love if American Home Shield could find a way to speed that up especially for certain appliances. For someone with limited cooking skills like myself, it was a very bad week of eating lots of cereal.

It happened at the end of the week, and then, the contractor was here Tuesday the next week. They were very professional. They took care of information and determined at that point what the factor was. They told me everything I needed to know and needed to do. The tech also told me what wasn’t broken and that I didn't have to worry about it. One claim was for the dryer, one was the washer. The tech told me that the issue with the dryer is pretty common and that there was really nothing you can do about it, which is fine. We can use it the way it was. On the washer though, AHS awarded $630 for it but the new one cost me $1000. I haven’t been paid back. But our dryer now works fine just like it was before and we ended up getting a new washer, so it’s working fabulous.

    I thought the little drainage tube just gotten out of the pan because I noticed it had leaked because we had a baseboard that was warping. I got down to look at it and then, I realized there was water on the floor. So, we went ahead and called American Home Shield to have someone come out and look at it. The claims process went very well. It was filed on a Friday before Labor Day and I was afraid they wouldn’t be able to get to it till Tuesday, and they came on Friday and got it done. So, I really appreciated them getting right on it because it was hot.

    When the contractor got here, the door to our AC unit was locked. Unbeknownst to us, there’s a lock inside the door and I think my two-year-old grandson had locked that door and shut it. We couldn’t get it open. I thought the contractor can get it open but he couldn’t. He tried to take the hinges off but it won’t come off unless the door is open, and he couldn’t get to it from underneath. He went outside to the drainage, where the water drains out and was able to blow something up into the drainage pipe and it unstopped the leaking. And so, it resolved the issue without having to get in there. He was able to take care of it and it wasn’t anything technical involved.

    I did appreciate him finding a way to fix the leak in spite of the issue with the door. I was very thankful that he could do that and he was very good-natured about it all. I’m gonna call a locksmith and see if he can figure out a way to get the door open. So, I would probably be having a claim to have a locksmith come in and look at some locks.

    Overall, I would recommend AHS. One thing I do like about having AHS is that when something does go wrong, all I have to do is send an email and it gets taken care of. I don’t have to figure out who to contact or what to do. And for me, that is part of what makes it worth the price. It’s that peace of mind that makes things simpler. And I’ve been pleased with everybody we’ve ever had.

I called American Home Shield again to recheck it. A day before I called, I had someone inspect my house because I’m selling it. They told me that there was a differential in degrees with the AC so that was another reason I called AHS again. I was just following up.

    American Home Shield's claim process online was okay. The air conditioner was leaking and it took two days for the contractor to come out once the claim was submitted. He was good and communicated wonderfully. The repair was done the same day. So far, so good. However, we are actually dealing with another situation with American Home Shield. It's just always different with them and I don't know if it's their rules or what it is, but when replacing an item, they don’t always cover the cost of the actual replacement. They'll say, “We’ll pay up to $60 to replace this part” even if some part was $200 and we can't buy another one for under 150.

    Updated on 09/04/2019: I attempted to request service using the on-line application. One request was for my garbage disposal. The other request was for my spa heater, which American Home Shield has failed to repair over a period of two years, even after I paid out in excess of $500 in service fees, not counting the original home warranty premium I paid in the amount of $709/year. On both repair request applications, I was unable to complete the application, receiving the message from the site, "Unable to complete".

    Basically, American Home Shield, after advising me that my yearly home warranty insurance rate would double to over $1,300/year, was attempting to make it difficult for me to request service on my current plan, which does not expire until 9/10/19. They published a response to my original complaint on CONSUMERAFFAIRS, implying that "Resolution is in progress." What resolution? Have you ever tried contacting anyone in upper management, or in a supervisory capacity with American Home Shield? Try it sometime. It is impossible to bring your grievance(s) to anyone other than the rank and file employees who answer the phone and, mostly, couldn't care less about your concerns. They are there strictly for the paycheck. See for yourself. Call American Home Shield and try to get in touch with someone in management or a service supervisor.

    Original Review: American Home Shield sends incompetent contractors to fix your covered service need. They have charged me a $75 service fee on 8 separate occasions and have never repaired my spa heater over a period of 4 years. Then, without any advance notice, they doubled my home warranty insurance premium from $700 per year to $1,400 per year. Their customer service is atrocious, with 99% of their customer service representative unable to speak legible English. They have a clause in their warranty agreement contract that requires their arbitrator to settle any disputes you may have with American Home Shield over coverage, so, you cannot sue them to settle any issues they refuse to resolve. STAY AWAY! THIS COMPANY IS A HUGE HEADACHE TO DO BUSINESS WITH! There are many much better companies out there to provide a home warranty.

    I have had two service calls and each time the people they send don't fix the problem. 1. I have a main sewage backup. After a full 24 hours they sent a plumber who eyeballed it for 3 minutes and said it must be on the city's side of the line (it was about to thunderstorm so they clearly just wanted to leave). I called the city who quickly came within 2 hours. In the rain, the city guy showed me with the two pipes how the obstruction was clearly on my property. Since the plumber saw what the city saw, the plumber must of either been completely incompetent, or more likely dishonest. I called American Homeshield. After being on the phone for them for over an hour, they said the best they could do was send a "second opinion" plumber out, but that it could take up to 2 more full days. This is while sewage is backing up in my toilets and showers. They just flatly refused to dispatch an urgent plumber.

    I was told I could not speak with a supervisor because they were busy talking to other people I requested a callback from a supervisor, which of course never happened. In the end, I had to call a plumber on my own who showed up later that evening and quickly fixed the problem without any fuss. So I paid a service fee to AHS, got no resolution, and had to pay a different plumber on my own. I dispute the service call fee with my credit card company and AHS went through all the trouble to fight the dispute by documenting how the contract says the fee is 75 dollars and the plumber did come out on that date, that I didn't not request that plumber appointment be canceled, and that the plumber said it was on the city's side. All of those are true, but the fact is the plumber was wrong and AHS did nothing to help me. So they still got my 75 dollars.

    2. I called to fix my dryer not working. The repairman comes and says it's the control board which doesn't work. They will order the part. AHS calls few days later to say the part cannot be in stock until approximately 3 MONTHS later. They basically said, it doesn't matter that it would take 3 months to fix my appliance, my appliance is fixable. So they said I either had to wait 3 months without a dryer or they would give me a credit of the repair fee they would have paid to fix the dryer (like 150 bucks) towards the purchase of a new dryer (way more than 150 bucks).

    I end up calling the dryer manufacturer directly, who sends their own repairman, who magically has access to this special rare part and fixes it. So once again, I've paid a service call fee to AHS, not had my problem fixed, and then had to pay someone else to fix it. At this point, I don't think I'm even going to bother to ask for any more service calls since all that happens is I waste 75 bucks for AHS to do nothing reasonable about the problem.

Additionally, I have contacted my realtor who takes care of all executives from my company and she has agreed to stop using AHS and instead promote hellosuper.com. Of course we are also going into the holiday weekend which will now be an additional 3 days before I even hear from them, let alone have AC.

    I have had two ac concerns in the past year, on both occasions the company has advised me that I would have to pay 1900+ out of pocket. I took a cash in lieu option of $1577 for my HVAC coil to be replaced last time, they are only offering me $509 this time around. They cannot give me any explanation on why the difference this time around. I am a licensed insurance adjuster and this is the worst company I have ever had to deal with.

    I had an Air Conditioner 2nd floor electric air handler that failed. AHS sent a technician out that told me I needed a air handler and proceeded to inform me that AHS would only pay to install the cheapest products and never used quality appliances. Mine was a R22 system which is being federally outlawed this year but AHS is not upgrading anyone until the law goes into effect. AHS would only pay to replace the air handler with a cheap brand and they would only pay 10.00 per pound for the Freon.

    Their approved technician with Yazd Mechanical intended to charge me 125.00 for 11.5 pounds of Freon $1437.50. I told the tech that my system only holds 8.5 lbs and straight away he intended to overcharge me $375.00 and he just smiled. Then AHS only paid the technician 200.00 to install the air handler so he was charging me 900.00 to move the fluid line, modify the drain line and add a drain pan. He wanted to sell me a whole system with a cheap brand for $7500.00.

    I decided to get a second opinion and found Trademasters in Lorton VA and they sold me a Trane system almost a thousand dollars less than Yazd Mechanical. American Home Shield approved this technician and they told me this was a good price. This warranty company appears to be in cohorts with their approved technicians and the homeowner is forced to pay the balance of the repair at prices twice where they should be. I asked the technician to approximate the time it took him to move the fluid line, drain line and drain pan and he said it would add 20 minutes to the installation. So Yazd was charging 45.00 per minute for the modifications.

    When I was was trying to get satisfaction from American Home Shield I could not get about front line customer service. They would put me on hold for 25 minutes or hang up on me instead of connecting me to a supervisor. They refused to provide corporate information so there is no way to escalate your concerns. Do yourself a favor and find a better warranty company.

    I really like American Home Shield. I had American Home Shield when we lived in Arizona. I was with them for almost three years in Arizona, and then when we moved out here, we rented for the first year, and then we were getting to our house. And so, we've had them for this, for the first year. And then I already set it up to renew. I think everybody should have AHS.

    Our experience with Air Squad Heating & Air Conditioning went really well as well. The person came out and did the work, did it quickly, was very polite and professional. Everything seems to be working fine now with our water heater. I made a small adjustment on there. The service tech who came out said it was the recommended setting, but I just went one higher up 'cause some of the family likes it a lot hotter.

    The AC line was coming out of the secondary. The guy from the AC company didn’t care and he didn’t wanna be bothered. He just walked in, blew out the line, and then the sinks in the bathroom were clogging up. The water drains out in the master bathroom drain and the water wasn’t going away. So the sinks were filled up, so we had to keep bailing the water out of the sinks.

    I called American Home Shield the next morning and told them that the AC guy blew out my line and clogged my drain. Their rep said that she would send him back. They sent him out here the next day and he looked at the sinks filling up with water and then he said to ask for the plumber. He’s an AC company. Then we called American Home Shield and the plumber came out quickly. Everything is fine since the service. Overall, American Home Shield does their job.

    American Home Shield's service was perfect and great. I did the claim over the phone and everything was good with the claim rep. The contractor came to fix the garage door. Its belt was broken. I’ve been working with this company for a long time and there was just one time that I had an issue, and then the man who came out apologized. It was the time when he fixed my oven. Other than that, we are really happy. That’s the reason we’re with the company.

    It really bothered me that when I called to express my discomfort with the company, they said, “It’s not my business. We just contacted the person who’s supposed to fix your oven.” And I said, “I don’t have any contract with them. My contract is with you, not with them. So, you have to fix it. He doesn’t answer the phone, I need the oven.” Some things are really necessary, and to fix the oven, it was two weeks. Nobody could believe that. The other times were always perfect. Every time I call, I have the person the next day. The only thing is I never have the option to choose a day or the time. So, I have to ask for a day off at my job.

    We've been with American Home Shield since we moved into this house and we just kept it up. When my water heater broke, I called about it but nobody called me. You kind of hope that they call right away since it’s a hot water heater. It was 90-degree weather and kinda hard not to take a shower. So, I ended up calling AHS. They had nothing from the call center. The guy said, “I don't know anything about this. They didn't send me an email or anything.” They gave me a contact number. They gave me the company that I was supposed to talk to, which was B&B Plumbing, but AHS didn't tell them. The B&B Plumbing rep just said that happens all the time, people calling, and he didn't have information. So then, I had to call AHS back and have them get the information to B&B Plumbing because the B&B Plumbing rep couldn't call AHS and get the information.

    But other than me having to call a couple times about the call center, AHS did a wonderful job. I'm very satisfied with them. The contractor they sent for my most recent claim was wonderful. They were very good. The tech from Allstate Appliance Repair was very nice. And since I don't know anything about the issue, he told me stuff. He was very knowledgeable on what he does. I just took the money. I’m getting a new dishwasher and I’m just waiting on all that stuff. The dishwasher will come on Friday, and then, they're going to install it. I’m very satisfied.

    I could only put so much on the online communication, so I submitted the claim for my AC through the phone as well. My house is quite large. I have a split unit, and when the tech came out, he knew exactly what was going on, that I got a clogged water line. He did what he did, and it worked for a couple of days, then it broke and stopped. When I woke up sweating in 80 degrees inside the house, I was ticked off. I went and checked the units underneath the crawl space and it was full of water. Then, I went upstairs in the sending unit, and that was the same thing. The drip pan was full and I pumped that out. It took me about an hour, four or five buckets full of water, and then cleaned that up. I suffered over that weekend.

    The same contractor told me they will come see me today at 8 o’clock, but he didn’t show until 1 o’clock. He came out and apologized. He got it squared away and the house is gradually cooling down now. Hopefully, the problem is rectified. I wanted the contractor to make sure that everything was squared away. I didn’t have to keep calling these guys back. Also, I wish the scheduling-the-service was a little quicker because I’ve been waiting since Sunday until today for somebody to show up and just fix my stuff, so I could get this house cooled because I got a huge family. I have been paying American Home Shield for more than seven years now, and before that, for 14 years. This was the first time I've had issues.

    I called American Home Shield for an AC claim. I was told that it was Freon and AHS paid a part of it. Then the contractor company called me and said that some other things happened so I got to pay them $2,000 out-of-pocket. That's a lot of money to pay when you have an insurance company. I’m paying American Home Shield a lot of money, and I choose to pay $100 ‘cause I've never had anything wrong with my house. The house is relatively new, so I was wondering what happened. The rep could never explain it to me. I also told her that I needed an invoice, which I never got. I never knew what they did.

    So this time, I called the company before I called American Home Shield and asked them if I would be under warranty if they did it 'cause it has just been 10 months. They said that they only gave us three months warranty and I told them that I never got the paperwork. That’s unacceptable that if the same thing happens again exactly and they won't have a warranty. I also said the same thing to American Home Shield because instead of ordering it online, I called them. They didn’t look into the warranty and check into that company from the last time that didn’t give me an invoice, which blew me off. They just checked and said that I didn't have a warranty and that I was told about it, so I had to pay again.

    I was wary of using the same AC company again. I live in Cedar Park, Texas and they are the only company here. But this time, they came, they fixed it, and the air-conditioning worked wonderfully. It’s an expensive rental house. So I take good care of my tenants. And the tenant said that the guy was thorough and nice. She said that this last time was wonderful and it was no problem.

    The claim I filed online for my dryer with American Home Shield went fine. The process was super easy. We set an appointment, and AMTEC Services people were here on time. They did everything they were supposed to. The dryer is now fixed and is working, so they were great. Everything went to plan on that one. However, with our AC situation, the contractor for that ghosted us multiple times. The AC people were supposed to come out Monday, but they did not show up at all. They didn't even tell us they weren't showing up. I got it rescheduled, but they said, "Put another ticket in." Still, I didn't hear from the AC people.

    I followed up again yesterday afternoon around lunch, and an AHS representative said, "Hey, we just called them, they said they can get you in between 3:00 and 7:00 today." And I said, "All right, great." So I ran home again from work, got there, and never heard anything. Then I called back and they said that they were not coming and that we should reschedule again for Monday. So, we've had an AC unit out for about a week just because they keep jerking us around. So I was pretty livid with our AHS person yesterday. It is not totally their fault, it is more on the service provider. But, that has been obnoxious. Otherwise, if it was not for that, everything else has been fine.

    I've been with American Home Shield since I bought the house in May of 2018. I just renew with them. I usually do a claim online, but this time, I did call because this was a repeat. I wasn’t sure what to do because my mom had the same problem and it was back in March. I didn’t know if I would have to pay the $75 again. I guess I had to ‘cause it was over the time, which was fine, but the first company didn’t fix it. So, the lady that dealt with me on the call made sure that she sent me to a different plumbing company. This guy did fix it so I was very happy. He fixed everything so fast. It was actually the owner of the company who was the one that went out for the visit and my mom said he was super nice.

    For a different claim related to my AC, I asked American Home Shield for an email about the repairs and what the actual company was proposing be done. I had to go like three levels up. But then, AHS said that they don't email customers specifics. That has got to be fixed. There’s too much information out there. This is Texas and Air conditioners go out. The main reason that people buy American Home Shield is it’s like installment payments for a new AC. Still, I had a recent claim with AHS for an appliance issue.

    I purchased the warranty when I purchased our home. On Monday I filed a claim online. I was told that the plumbing company would contact me in 4 hours in regards to the garbage disposal and I would be sent a text with their information. Monday I never heard anything, Tuesday went by and I never heard anything. I called American Home Shield on Wednesday. I got a rep I could not understand and he said he would update my request I was on hold on a silent line for 40 minutes. I finally hung up and called back I was told again that I would hear from the plumbing company Wednesday definitely. Thursday afternoon I call American Home Shield back I get another representative and he says they will send it to dispatch and change the company if I don't hear anything in 1-2 days to call back. I ask what the new company is and he says there are no other plumbers they contract with.

    I asked what happens he said I can call back tomorrow and pick my own plumbing company and they will pay for it. I asked why we couldn't just do that today and was told it doesn't work that way. I asked to cancel the service call he asked why well no one will service the unit and you took my 100 dollars on top of a monthly service fee. I made a complaint on Facebook and they said to message them and never responded. When I wanted to cancel the service they told me there is an early termination fee of amount they do not know and is not listed in any of my paperwork. Horrible service and not worth the money waiting to see if I actually get the money back I paid for the service call. I'm disappointed in this company I thought it would be worth the payment every month but we can't even get service.

    We have a 20 year old dryer. It finally quit. We called AHS and they did send out a repair person 2 days later. Of course we paid our $75.00 plus our monthly fee of $57.99. Which we have been paying for several years. The repair man stated that the dryer should be replaced as it had a part that was completely broken and another part they would not be able to get. If they tried to fix the dryer without the other part it could be a fire hazard. So, this was on a Friday. I run a dog training business and I also do boarding. I go through a lot of bedding and towels plus our own personal laundry. Thankfully I had a clothes line so I was putting stuff on the line. My problem is time. I also work a part-time job and do classes.

    We called AHS and asked them how quickly we could expect to the dryer or could we just go get one and they could reimburse us. The lady said she saw that they had recommended a new dryer. She said that she would put a rush on it. We called again on Sunday. This time they said they would not be replacing the dryer but try to find parts and have it repaired.

    I don't have a fancy dryer. We priced one at Sears that was pretty similar to the one we had. It was 389.00. So we have paid for this dryer just in monthly premiums to this company and now they were going to repair a 20 year old fire hazard. Nope. We fired them. But before we could fire them, we were told we were in the middle of the billing cycle and we owed them more money. This is not the first time we have had problems with them. They have out sourced their customer service so much that the people you talk to, you can't understand. I recommend, put the money you give AHS in the savings. That way when something happens you can pay for it yourself and save money.

    Initiated service request on Monday morning, 08/26/2019, at around 7am. The vendor they use called on Monday and advised they couldn't come out until Wednesday. So, they showed up around 2pm on 08/28/2019. Repairman was there for 10 minutes and advised my spouse that they needed to order a part, a gas control valve. Said it would be a few days until the part comes in and then they will contact me to come back out. Why does a plumbing company have to order a standard operating part for a gas water heater? Home Depot and Lowe's both sell them, so I am confused.

    I understand hot water isn't essential for survival, however I have a 10 month old, a 5 year old, and my mother in law at the house. Labor Day is this weekend so I'm probably looking at next week before anything gets done. Why do they treat their paying customers like DIRT!!?? This should have been an easy fix, but yet they are making it difficult by insisting this vendor order the part. More than likely, as with our A/C compressor, they are looking for a refurbished model. I would stay away from this SCAM of a company. I would go into detail regarding their horrific outsourced customer service, but I feel that adds absolutely no value to my complaint. They need to overhaul the way they treat folks. Guess we're stuck with COLD WATER.

The first 2 occasions were transfers to retention with immediate hang ups and the third I was given the customer service number I called to talk about my retention with a bogus transfer again. 4th rep said there was nothing she could do to maintain my business and that I either had to wait or cancel.

The mechanic has asked for assistance through his company but the supervisor, Randy is repeatedly ignoring his requests. This company is very unprofessional especially the receptionist, Julie.

    I called in a claim on 8/18/19 that my A/C unit is not cooling....I live in Texas where the avg temp is 100 degrees. I have a 2 story house so you know by mid-day it is too hot to stick around. 2 days later after a follow up call to AHS because we have not heard from anyone, we were told it has been sent to a local company MJS. By the next day, the tech arrived and found that our compressor is out and he would notify AHS. Now it is 2 more days later, we called AHS and were told they are on the other line with MJS and will be in contact.

    Now I am hot and frustrated, Monday I write a bad review on MJS's website and now I get a return phone from the owner. Come to find out AHS did not follow up about my lack of A/C with MJS and the owner took it upon himself to contact AHS and speed up the process. As of Wednesday, 11 days after my initial call I have a working A/C unit. Had it not been for MJS going far beyond what they were having to do to get me cold air in my house, AHS did not seem to care how hot it is in Texas during August. Thank you Wade at MJS and hopefully AHS will do a better job with their next customer and their needs.

    On July 12 I called to cancel 3 contracts with AHS due to a poor experience on a warranty repair claim made in June. They sent out a company that walked in and said duct work is not covered and left. After a few calls to AHS they sent company back out to at least verify and test HVAC system. This is despite my contract states duct work covered, and both the HVAC company and AHS said it isn't. CRAZY, but it only gets better. I told them I would be cancelling and they said no problem. Because I had renewed 2 of the three contracts in April I had to pay an early cancellation fee on each of about $50, and a prorated amount for the 2 months I had the contract. I was told I would be getting a refund of $491.86 on one of the contracts and I only received $279.89.

    Over multiple calls, all of which I have notes, covering about 8 hours of my time, they ran me around and around stating retention department or managers weren't available. They kept repeating, "You only get $279.89 for this reason. You paid $695.88 for the contract. You have a pro-rated amount of $146.03, and an admin fee of $57.99 which equals $279.89." If anyone does the math you will see it equals $491.86, which I explained over and over. On 8/6/19 I was told they don't issue refunds to credit cards, by policy and their system shows a "Check is in the mail" and I should wait for the remaining $211.97.

    I called a final time on 8/29/19, and surprisingly only on the phone 30 minutes this time. Most of it on hold while they did research. This is what I was told. I would only be getting back $279.89 because of prorate and admin fee. I said I get this, but it doesn't add up. I then asked is it because I made 1 claim, and he said yes. WOW, finally an answer, albeit not a good one. So, basically, I paid $695.88 for the 1 year warranty. Paid $100 to HVAC (trade-fee call on contract) + pro-rate of $146.03 + 1 call pro-rate of $211.97 + $57.99 admin fee. So, I used 1 month of an annual contract and it cost me $515.99. What a bargain. I've switched back to Home Warranty of America, and happy I made the move. American Home Shield is the worst at helping customers and providing quality warranty repair companies.

    We had our A/C go out in our house. Paid the $125.00 fee. A contractor reached out to us so set up appointment. They were out within about 24 hours. It was from there that the experience was terrible. American Home Shield will send out the worst company to come and check the system. The company came out 3 times after it was not fixed the first time. This is all on the process of about 2 weeks. Every time they sent a technician out we got a different story on what the problem was. Keep in mind you are stuck with the company they choose.

    They made us wait 3 days after it was not fixed the first time and our house easily reached 90 degrees upstairs. We had to stay in a Hotel and incur expenses that were not needed if they would have the system was low on Freon the from the very get go. You call Home Shield and I don't think you even speak to someone the United States. When we tried to speak to a Supervisor they keep you on hold forever! They resolved nothing with the company.

My advice to anyone is to not waste your money on this warranty. They only take care of the little jobs. No one cares if this is impacting my family medically. No consistency or truth to their stories. All you get is, I know how you feel. Stay away if you are wise.

AHS also provides texts to inform you of the company that will visit your home as well as another text with real time information about the repair person's arrival time and where they are on the road (similar to what Uber and Lyft provide). We had our ice maker repaired today and the repairman was timely, professional and solved our problem. We highly recommend AHS for your home warranty needs.

    Updated on 09/03/2019: I contacted you all last week concerning this problem.. AHS just sent another repairman to my home, he says computers and water doesn't mix???? Told me every time I wash I should unplug it..Really...then he said it's only guaranteed for three months after taking six and a half weeks to repair a 10 year old machine..Will not keep them and will let family and friends know this company in Chicago is a sham...

    Original review: Have been having problem with no working washer for 5 weeks. Repairman came out 4 times - washer still does not work. Sears repairman got angry because I complained that how many times will you try to fix it when it over 10 yrs old. He stormed out and told them I refused service. Now being told AHS will not replace item... So I can cancel my policy if I chose to. They don't really care. I am appalled at their customer service. After paying insurance for 10, 11 yrs I do think they should stand by their policy.

    At nighttime, my air conditioning would kick on, and would run for two minutes and then turn off. And then, it would immediately turn back on again, so I called American Home Shield. It took Total Air Care quite a while to get here. They were supposed to be here between 10:00 and 2:00, and the guy called me at 2 o’ clock saying, “I’m not gonna make it there until about 3:30.” And then, he called at 3:30 and said, “I won’t be here until 4:30.” And I said that I had an appointment and that I was leaving at 4:45.

    So, I rescheduled for a couple days later, and the whole thing started all over again. The company called me and we set it up for between 8:00 and noon. Then the gal called me back and asked if we can have somebody come later in the day. I said, “No. This is the second time. I would rather keep the 8:00 to noon.” And she put me on hold for about three minutes and came back saying, “Okay, we’ll get somebody there between 8:00 and noon.” That took almost two weeks. I also tried calling companies in the area and they said that they don't honor American Home Shield. Nevertheless, when the guy got here close to noon to fix it, he said there was a condenser on top and that the connections were all corroded and rusted. It was breaking down and it was not making good connection. So, he replaced that, and I don't have any problems now with it.

    The vendor had a different idea of what American Home Shield wanted to do as far as getting the problem fixed. So, I was stuck in the middle trying to determine which one is it: are they going to replace the unit or are they going to fix a part? Then, they realized that cost-effectiveness was for me to fix the part when American Home Shield had determined that fixing the air vent would have been more cost-effective. But, cost-effective to who? The technician came and assumed that he had fixed the problem when he did not. As soon as he drove away, it was still leaking water. So, he came back and diagnosed it again. That was when he said something in reference to a crack in the drain pan.

    So, I'm thinking that the only thing they are going to do is replace the drain pan, but now, it became, "No, we got to replace the evap coil." And then, "Oh, by the way, before we replace the evap coil, we have to charge you near $1,000 to get this unit back in accordance with the regulations or in order to be correct." The vendor also told me that if they were to replace the air vent, then the additional cost would have came out-of-pocket from me -- replacing the sensing or the communications board and all those others that are attached to the vent itself. So, nothing has been fixed yet and the claim has not gone well. I have to wait until Wednesday until the vendor comes and hopefully, he has the parts. Meanwhile, it is going on two weeks since I had air conditioning, and it is about 105 degrees here in Georgia.

    AHS has been great and we ended up needing them more than we thought we would at first. They had been there for us, so we appreciate it. The only issue I'm having is that they came out and took a look at the garbage disposal and said that it would have to be replaced. And after several days went by, I didn’t hear from anybody. I called and they said, “Okay, we're gonna check into it and you're gonna receive a call.” That was last week. So, I don't know what's going on with that and I'm not sure what to do.

    But with our most recent claim which was the dishwasher, it was fine. It's fixed. I needed AHS three times. I was so glad that they were there because we couldn’t have handled it, otherwise. This is for a rental and it's in Texas and we're in Georgia. So, AHS has been a godsend. I just put the order online and then I usually get a call from the servicer to schedule the time and they go out and they take care of it. I usually have to call them back though, “Okay. What happened?” But, it has been smooth. So, I do appreciate it. I would highly recommend AHS.

    LUX Air Engineering is not fixing the root of the problem. They just put a band-aid on it. They said that the AC unit is clearly undersized for the property and there is no possible way for it to cool the home or heat the home in any kind of efficient way. And so, it has been like that, and it is going to continue until they up the size of the unit. You set it at 75 degrees and the house will get to 78 to 80 degrees, and the AC runs all day. They’re not even authorized to change the unit out altogether. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do to make the unit run properly other than it is a 4-ton unit, the SEER rating is older, and it needs to be a 5-ton unit to cool the size of the home. I’m sure I’ll be calling American Home Shield again soon once we change seasons, and the unit will have to get fixed again.

And then when I asked for a refund, somebody gave me a runaround, then somebody else gave me a runaround. I still wanna ask for one today because it's very unfair.

    The garbage disposal was recently installed in July and then I had to call a plumber back because it was leaking. I tried to submit the claim with American Home Shield online, but the online process required a $75 co-pay, which I thought wouldn't apply in this case because I was asking for them to fix something that was supposed to have been fixed. So, I called and spoke with a representative who made the arrangements without me doing the $75 co-pay.

    MSE Plumbing was was good. It was the same technician that came in July. He recognized that the unit was leaking out the top. The first one was defective and it was interesting that he chose to replace the entire thing instead of making a repair. But this time, he left me no paperwork. There was no receipt or anything for me to sign, nothing to show that he was ever in my home.

    On both occasions when the technician came out with a new unit, he didn't take the old one with him. What he did was he disposed of it in my personal garbage, which for me is an issue. I have a very small waste can and these boxes are really big. I wasn't happy about it but I let him do it because I didn't know if I had an alternative. It's not a big deal, but it was a little inconvenience. Other than that, he got the work done and he was very professional, on-time and very polite. He also seemed to know exactly what he was doing. The garbage disposal seems to be working very well wince the repair and there's no more leaking.

Aside from adding Freon, there was another issue that was causing one of the other issues that the technicians found. That was rectified. The only thing was the email that I received from AHS was a little misleading. It stated up to $10 for the Freon replacement. But Freon is $100 per pound so $10 doesn't cover much.

    My refrigerator was just old and it quit working on me. And before I even took the policy with American Home Shield out, I asked whether the refrigerator had to be a certain year and they said there was nothing like that. And lo and behold, everybody has been peaches and cream. I haven't ever been treated so nicely in my life and hell, I'm almost 80 years old. The service technician that they sent out from the appliance store was an awesome guy. He was a very hands-on type of fellow.

    American Home Shield said that they have to replace the refrigerator. So my wife and I went online and we picked a unit out. After that, I got an email saying that it went through but then I got another email saying I don't think it went through. So I'm trying to hurry up so I can get home today to call them and ask if it went through or not because if it didn't, we're gonna have to figure out how to get it all fixed back up and redone again. I've been without a refrigerator for well over two weeks now and between buying ice and re-buying food every week, thinking the refrigerator was fixed and then it wasn't, it just got a lot expensive. They also said it would be five to 14 days before I get the refrigerator and the wife wasn't happy about it. But I asked if she wanted to run out and buy a $1,200 refrigerator or we can sit back and gradually wait on these folks. I mean, I can eat sandwiches. And I finally wooed her into it.

    American Home Shield has been hands-on 24 hours a day when I've needed to call somebody. I can call them anytime of the day and night. There's either someone there to answer the phone or they'll call you back as soon as daylight gets there. And I've had no bad person on the phone. No one was in a bad mood.

    I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield and navigating the website was good but they should have a field or a block where you could describe the fault. It might help the technician or the service repair company to have a little bit of an idea before they get here of what the problem may be, or it might jog their memory to say, “Hey, give this customer a call because he’s talking about this, this and this.” I’ve had a few other complaints and I had to tell the technician over the phone prior to them getting here so, they would be well-prepared by the time they get here.

    The air conditioning unit was leaking out water, and the guy checked all the drain lines for me, gave it a clean air and ran the AC for a while to make sure it was up and running properly. The first time he did a repair, he just did a minor repair and said it was okay. But within 24 hours, the problem was still there. It’s not the fault of the technician because he’s not gonna sit inside the house for 24 hours waiting to see if the problem has been completely fixed. I had to be at home for the repair but I can understand that someone has to be here because you just can’t let these guys or anybody into your house. It is a minor inconvenience, but that’s how it works. It was very good that the contractor gave me a heads-up before they arrived and by the time I arrived after getting the phone call, they were either already here or they were here within a matter of just minutes.

    My refrigerator wasn't working properly, so I called up American Home Shield. It is a GE appliance, so the technician came out from GE and he was sort of rude when he came inside of my house. I had my chair set up and table which he roughly pushed aside. I left and went into my living room because I didn't wanna be bothered. Then he came out 20 minutes later and he said that he would order the parts, then he left. He was sordid and unprofessional.

    After, I got a call from one of American Home Shield's reps and she said that American Home Shield was not responsible for fixing the refrigerator because the technician said that there was an insect infestation. I said that was crazy and not true because I just had my maid service. I told her that I would like a second opinion and she agreed. Then, she sent out a refrigerator service guy and he came out and he looked at it. In the meantime, the parts that the GE technician ordered had arrived and when the second technician came, I gave him the package with the parts in it. He said that they were the wrong parts and that some of the parts that were ordered were paper thin. So, he said he would order the new parts because he couldn't do anything. I said okay to that and after he ordered the parts, he came back and fixed everything. He did a great job.

    Other than that, I called a number of times in American Home Shield and tried to speak to a customer agent at their headquarters, but I couldn't get through. I went through about four different agents and they all said that they could not patch me in to somebody from headquarters to talk to somebody there about what happened. I just retired from the government as a federal inspector for the defense department, so I've dealt with a lot of contractors, and it was really sad that if I had a complaint, I couldn't file a complaint to AHS. Although, if I had pushed it by going to my congressman, it would've been done. But I didn't wanna do that since, eventually, the issue was resolved.

    I submitted my claim for my air conditioning online to AHS and the process was good. It was very quick. It was very easy like not complicated at all. The contractors came out the next day. They were a really great company, really great people and I was very happy with their service. I ended up working with the same employee of theirs, several times for various things, and he was a veteran and a really nice guy and has a really great work ethic. And the company was very responsive to anything I needed and they just really did well.

    I've had American Home Shield since I bought the house five years ago. My most recent claim with them went very well and Loyalty Home Services was able to resolve the issue. I submitted the claim by phone and it was easy dealing with the AHS rep. The dude that came out was awesome. He showed up on time and very personable. He was talkative but it wasn’t like it was very uncomfortable having him in my house or anything.

    I have three toilets in the house and one of them was making a whistling sound. When you go, it makes this weird noise. The first guy that came out said he couldn't fix anything. He seemed lazy and unprofessional. He just wanted to get out of there as quickly as he could. He was terrible. But the second guy was very nice and polite. He worked through on everything that was out there.

    It's been two weeks since the second guy was out and the toilet is still making a noise. The second guy said the first guy did it fine and that it was the water pressure. But none of the other toilets in the house make this whistling sound when you go to flush it. Compared to before the repair though, the toilet that was fixed only does the sound for 10 seconds now. It doesn't do it for a long time.

    About two or three years ago, the toilet was making that noise. The plumber came replaced a part. It was fine for about three years. Now, it started to make the noise again so that's why we called American Home Shield. A part was changed but it's still not totally quiet. Other than that, American Home Shield has been very good and I would recommend them.

    My central AC was not putting out cool air. There was some sort of leak somewhere in the system. I opened up a ticket with American Home Shield, paid my fee and was assigned a contractor. The contractor, Generations Heating & Air Conditioning, called me within 24 hours to schedule an appointment and came out and satisfied the request. They were phenomenal. They were on time, professional, very courteous, very accommodating and easy to reach no matter what time of the day and night. So, I have nothing but praise for them. So far, the AC is doing good.

    My hot water heater was leaking and American Home Shield sent out Wise Plumbing. The technician who came out turned the hot water heater off. He put a hose on it and drained the water out. After which he got a new hot water heater and replaced the old one. The work took four hours and he was out. I called American Home Shield for this claim and it was easy to file the service request when I got a hold of someone I could talk to instead of the computer. The hold time was not too bad though. And AHS did a good job. The response was quick and I have no complaints. I’ll probably use them again if I need to.

    I did a claim with American Home Shield over the phone. Their representative was great. The only thing was when I got off the phone, I wasn’t sure if J & C was gonna call me or I was supposed to call them. Other than that, everything went great. By the time I called American Home Shield back, J & C had already left me an email with times and a phone number, and I just called them back, and everything’s squared away.

    The claim was for the hot water heater that started leaking around the bottom, and then I had just a little bit of hot water, which was kinda lukewarm, not hot. But when the plumber got here, he looked at the serial numbers and everything on the hot water heater, and it was put in the house in 1977. He took a bunch of pictures of it because he said it shouldn’t last that long. They replaced everything. I would recommend J & C to anyone. I was mostly impressed with their courtesy. The plumber didn't talk down on me even if he knew more about plumbing. He was really nice. J & C should get Keith a raise. He’s good. I talked to J & C on a Friday afternoon, and Wednesday afternoon, he had everything complete and was leaving the house. Everything is going great. We have much hot water. And all of us can take a shower now and not have to worry about it.

    The thermostat on the air conditioning unit wasn't working. I called American Home Shield and then they sent a company out. But they couldn't fix it and they handed it off to another company. So the second company came out, and my son and my husband were home at that time. They were both very impressed with the second company. The tech was really good. The first company said that it wasn't fixable, but when he came in, he fixed it in less than half an hour. We've used American Home Shield four times. Three claims were really good but one claim was a disaster. It took us almost two months to get our washing machine fixed. They had four different things come out. But the one we finally got works well.

    If I had to buy American Home Shield warranty myself, I’d never do it. Because when I told them exactly what I wanted, nobody told me that it was not covered. So, I paid the $75 fee to have somebody come out. They found the problem as I knew they would. The technician was terrific. He knew exactly what he was doing. He went straight to the problem, and he made an accurate assessment. He told me what needed to be done. But I knew all of it before he came. The only reason I called them was because I would prefer someone else do electrical work rather than me. When I submitted the claim through American Home Shield, they told me it wasn’t a covered charge and they would not reimburse the fee I paid.

    It has taken two companies and eight separate visits to have a water heater replaced. This is a common thing. After the water heater was replaced, now the pipes squeak. Had the contractor out and the problem still exists. AHS has terrible contractors and even worse customer service. When I call customer service, lie EVERY time (14 and counting over a month) and say that their managers are in a meeting and can not come to the phone. This is regardless of the time of day and how long you wait on hold. They also say that the manager will call when then get out of the meeting. Again, 0 for 14. This company is an embarrassment.

    Please beware of this company! First off I was told BEFORE signing up that the items I mentioned were covered. Then when I submitted a claim and paid my $100 copay, they denied over half the work order. Stating that the items weren't covered. I then was offered a free month when I stated that I wanted to cancel. I accepted, hoping maybe things would improve. Just for a safety measure I did not update the payment type on my account. It took less than 2 weeks for them to call me and say my payment was declined.

    I had to explain to them I was given a free month. They transferred me to another department where I was told they placed notes on the account and I wouldn't be called about this again. However, I was called two more times regarding my payment, for the same month I was given for free, not going through. After the third call, I cancelled. I will never do business with these people again. I do not even want a home warranty. It feels like a giant scam.

    My wife called in for a problem with our refrigerator around end of June 2019 (dont remember the exact date). The refrigerator was not cooling and the display showed some weird values. On July 1st, we got a text saying that an AHS service provider - SOS Services will be reaching out to set an appointment. July 2nd was our appointment and the not-so-skilled technician came come and identified that the refrigerator unit (Kenmore brand) needed a new motherboard. He ordered it and on July 10th, came and replaced the motherboard telling us that in 3-4 hours everything should be back to normal.

    3 to 4 hours passed and the same error message was back on screen and the water dispenser was spraying water when we tried to use it. Called the technician who did not answer. Called AHS and then sent a text saying that someone from Sos services will be reaching out to schedule an appoint on July 11th. Then we got a text saying that AHS service appointment with Sos services has been scheduled for July 12th and the technician will arrive between 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. CDT. On July 12th we got a text saying that the a "skilled" (wonder how skill is measured) technician was on the way. We waited and waited but it was a no show.

    We called AHS again. We were told that they will talk to the service provider and were told that some parts had to be ordered. We were then told that if the service provider cannot fix the issue, they would replace the refrigerator. All blank promises. Since then we have called AHS several times (almost every week) and each time we were told lies that they would escalate this to the service provider relationship department and that someone from AHS would call us within the next 24 hours to resolve the issue. My wife and I have wasted nearly an hour each time we called only to be told the same information over and over again.

    They won't give us the Customer Escalation number to talk to someone who can resolve this. Till date and it has been nearly 2 months now, we have no resolution. It is nearly two months now and we don't have a working refrigerator putting the family at stress. This experience is horrible. Now, I get a letter stating that my AHS service contract is due for renewal ... Guess what my answer is going to be. Hopefully if someone from AHS is seeing this, they will take action and address this immediately - if they have any customer service in their DNA.
