We had a toilet that wasn’t working. I filed a claim with American Home Shield online and it was easy. Long & Burton Plumbing came out and they exceeded my expectations. They were able to rectify the issue. The tech told me that some parts needed to be replaced and he addressed a leaky part. It was my first experience with American Home Shield and I was delighted by the improvement over my previous carrier.

The air conditioner didn't work and was creating noise. We submitted a claim on the phone with AHS and their rep was very kind and polite. They sent out a tech from Island Breeze HVAC and he recognized the problem. He told me that he fixed it up and the service was good. The AC's performance has also been good since the repair.

I would recommend American Home Shield. I have not had any bad experiences with it. Recently, I called them for my air conditioner that had stopped cooling. They sent somebody out here and the person came right on. He was one of the better contractors that I have dealt with. He was very polite. He was very professional and he seemed to know what he was doing. He went right out there and got it fixed. He came back to the door and told me what it was. I signed the bill and he left. I got cool air and that's all you care with this 100-degree weather.
When we first got started with American Home Shield, I had some issue. I have had two things tear up in like a month or so and I had to pay the co-payment each time. I was not happy about that. But now, I told that young man that was out here the last time and he said if it happens within 90 days or something, I don't have to pay a co-payment again. That's better. I used to pay every time I called American Home Shield and it was a little bit expensive.

Our air conditioner was not working. What we would do was to go out and reset it. When you reset it, the fan was having a hard time getting off dead-center. A starter capacitor had gone non-capacitated. We’ve used Trinity Heating forever. We’ve lived in the house for about 20 years, and we’ve used them since we’ve been there. We did not realize we could use American Home Shield to pay for them coming out, so we were stunned, amazed, and chagrined because we didn’t know about it 20 years ago. It was kind of like a win-win for us.
Where we live in Alabama, it is considered the non-populated part of the state. So the problem we’ve had in the past was finding people to take the job. A water heater went out and we had a plumber guy who came and said he’d be there as soon as he got off his other job. He had a day job, and this was a part-time thing for him. So, finding people who would take American Home Shield is, in my neck of the woods, thin. But now with Trinity, our air-conditioning guy is good. Everything has been taken care of. They came out and fixed it, and then AHS took care of it.
Good afternoon Jim,
We strive to provide you with a great team of contractors and an even better customer service experience. We hope you continue to enjoy your AHS warranty!

I had an issue with the refrigerator and AHS sent out David’s Appliance Service to repair it. But the refrigerator was over 32 years old and they could not repair it. So it was up to me to go buy a new one. I also had a company out for American Home Shield last week for the ceiling fan and they did some electric work. When I have a claim, I usually submit it over the phone and within a couple of business days, the contractors come out for the service. And the ones who came here seemed to be professional.

My recent claim went with American Home Shield went very well. The blower fan wasn’t kicking on so it wasn’t cooling the house. They found out that it was worn and old. It was 30 years old. The temperatures were 116 degrees with high humidity and they solved it within two business days. They replaced it very quickly. American Home Shield didn't give us any kind of nonsense about not kicking it back ‘cause it is wear and tear. It was fixed and it was during the hottest time we have lived out here so I was pleased with it. Prior to this claim, American Home Shield was also on my previous claims for the air conditioner, the hot water heater and some minor plumbing stuff. I’m very pleased with the service.

We've had the same problem every year for five years and it seemed like every year, we're constantly recharging the AC and it always has a leak, and it's annoying. There's a leak, and all they do is they keep putting Band-Aids on it. They just tell us it's low on refrigerant. And then, we ended up having to call them at least once or twice a year. American Home Shield won't pay to find the leak. It's cheaper for them to just have us do the refrigerant, but not for me.
We also had an issue with the hot water heater. We had to call the guy out like three times, but that was within the 90 days and they were able to fix it. It still breaks, but the technician told us how to reset it. And now, my wife just goes up there and resets it. It lasts for a month and a half, and then she has to go up there and reset it.

I called American Home Shield to submit a claim for the microwave and the rep gave me the number for Whirlpool. I was told they would be out the next day but I never heard from Whirlpool. So, I called them and it turned out fine. When the guy came out, he called me 30 minutes in advance and asked if I was gonna be home, and he was here exactly on time. He was out to my house two times and the first time, he diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. A couple of days later, he came and installed them. He was very professional, courteous and very knowledgeable at what he did. He was also super nice, friendly and awesome. It was a good experience.

American Home Shield sent All Hours Emergency Plumbing for the garbage disposal that was leaking. I called AHS and submitted the claim. The first people that came out tried to rip me off. The contractor said he found something in there and AHS wouldn’t cover it, but he would put it in for a certain amount of money. So, I told him to hit the road. In my eyes, he wasn’t going by protocol and he wasn’t trustworthy to me. I called AHS back again, and they sent somebody else out and he repaired it. He said, “It’s shut from just typical wear and tear.” The other guy said he found something in there like a resealable plastic bag and if that hits the garbage disposal, it would disintegrate. He tried to say that bounced around in there and caused holes.
We’ve had AHS for a number of years. Everything has always been top-shelf business. My experience was great. We’ve had air conditioning problems, and a contractor came out and fixed it. This issue with the garbage disposal, a very polite contractor came out and explained everything, and did the job. He cleaned up, left the house the way it looked, and he rolled.
Thank for sharing your warranty experience. Have a good day.

I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for my drainage that was leaking. Navigating their site was fine. They sent their contractor R-Mech Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing and though the tech was a little late, it wasn't a big deal. He had to snake a line through and since then I've had no problems. Overall, I had a great experience with AHS.

We're living in an older home and it's gonna take some major revisions. We usually call American Home Shield and the contractors they've sent have been good. A year ago, or so, we had a ceiling fan replaced. We also had someone take a look at a switch. We also submitted a claim for the ductwork which was something AHS could not repair. Still, everything that we have done has been great.

My air conditioner stopped cooling and I submitted a claim for its repair on the American Home Shield app. Doing that was very easy and I was told that their contractor should contact me within 24 to 48 hours. Though the AC would work while their techs from Total Air Care, two hours later, the AC would stop working. They had to come back out three different times and the longest it would take for them to get back was a week. A different technician came each time too and each tech had set it to something different. Total Air Car added freon and replaced the fan motor. Even so, I ended up having to replace the inner breaker. The AC has been working since then.

The fan of our air conditioner outside unit wasn't spinning, so the house was hot. I went online and submitted a claim to American Home Shield. It was pretty easy and simple to do. Then the contractor called me that night to set up an appointment, and they came out on Thursday, but they were coming from Jacksonville, which is about two hours from us. But they were very nice. It was a very simple fix, and tech explained everything that they did and walked us through step-by-step. They diagnosed the problem, then made sure there wasn't anything else wrong, and replaced the part. Everything has been great. When we had our sewer backed up to our septic and had to get pumped out, everything was extremely simple. I went online, submitted everything, and got a call back within less than 24 hours from a vendor. So far, it's been awesome with American Home Shield. All the vendors we've had have explained what they were doing.

The reps on the phone did very well when I filed a claim for my air conditioner. Also, the contractor that came was very prompt and communicated well. They were excellent. However, based on other services I’ve had, it’s difficult to understand sometimes how American Home Shield can restrict certain types of services outside the contract. That’s a judgment issue. They often construe the language of their contract narrowly against the homeowner.

I reported an issue with my air conditioner online and the American Home Shield site was very easy to deal with. It was a couple of days before the contractor came out, but they called me right away and I was familiar with the gentleman who came since he had been here before to work on my air conditioner. He was also familiar with the AC and he took care of it very expeditiously. He checked everything out before he left and it seems to be fine now.

Our microwave had some moisture getting into it which shorted out the keypad. We submitted a claim online to American Home Shield. Their contractor called and scheduled but it took them a week to 10 days before they came out. The first time the tech came, he replaced the keypad and the issue happened again. He came out again and found out where the moisture was coming from and fixed that. Now, we're letting the microwave dry out and see if it'll work properly on its own. Thus far, trying to get AHS on the phone has been horrible. Every time I call, it's either 30 or 45 minutes trying to get an operator.

I purchased my new home on one July 2019. I noticed the refrigerator was not getting very cold. I made a service request on 3 July 2019. I am still waiting for the completion of my refrigerator being serviced seven weeks later. I have called over a half a dozen times only to not understand the representative, to be placed on hold (one time for over an hour) by a service technician that identified herself as Nan. I am constantly refused when I asked to speak with a supervisor that or I’m placed on hold and eventually hung up on. Or all of a sudden they don’t understand my English. I have been told my service request is in queue, to contact them back in 24 to 48 hours. Guest what happens in 48 hours - absolutely nothing, “But ma’am it’s still in queue. Someone will contact you within 24 to 48 hours.”
I made this call on 3 July 2019. Today’s date is 19 August 2019 and the same problem still exists. All brand appliances never came back. They stayed it because American Home Shield never pay them and American Home Shield home I have a contract with his ** to send another service provider to rectify the situation. I even asked for for refund so I can go to another company because $700 for a year is a lot of money to not be serviced at all. Again nothing. I would rather slit my wrist and bleed out than to ever deal with this company again.

Requested an air conditioner repair on Saturday, August 17th. Happy to say the contractor was able to fit us in on Monday afternoon. Contractor came and found that a fan motor needed to be ordered. After speaking to the associate at the contractor's office that completes the order, we are informed that it will take 3-5 business days to get part in and that they will call and schedule repair once part is received.
This is the second time this summer they have serviced the same unit. First time we were without air conditioning for 5 days. This time we have already been without for three days and are told that it will possibly take another week to repair. We were also told the first time that if it was above 95 degrees that they could expedite and put in an emergency call, but at that time it was upper 80’s. This time I call and tell them that the heat index is 97 degrees so I would like my part expedited so that it could be fixed as quickly as possible. I was told that the policy is now that it has to be 105 degrees or higher and that they can not expedite the part.
After speaking to the associate and the supervisor that I waited for 45 minutes to talk to, I was told that the wouldn’t expedite the part and that if I wasn’t going to listen to her she was going to end the call. She promptly hung up on me. I was upset and extremely frustrated. Couldn’t find an area on their site on which to register a complaint. I was on the phone for an hour and twenty minutes only to be told they would not follow what I was told previously by one of their associates. I am extremely unhappy with the service I experienced today.

After my review, the process was expedited and my AC was fixed and I was able to be back home the next day. The process took one week to fix.
Original Review: Aug. 19, 2019
My AC compressor went out and was diagnosed in about 5 min. They took 3 days to begin the process (which didn't begin until I called) then another day to order the part. Then they said it would be another 3-4 days to receive it and make an appointment to install. I've had to stay at a hotel and they still cannot give me a date to get it fixed. It's summer..you'd think they'd put a rush on the part! Seems like they're dragging their feet...on top of that I have to pay out of pocket $500 for the Freon because they only cover $10.

In July my air conditioner needed serviced. AHS could not find a repair company to come out so they authorized us to find our own technician and they would reimburse us. It took us many calls to find a technician because apparently AHS is horrible to work with and AC companies don't want to deal with their nonsense. We eventually found a company to help. I have been trying to get the reimbursement paid since July 15, calling AHS 1-2 times per week. Each time a rep tells me "we don't have your paperwork", I resubmit it, they confirm receipt & say the bill will be paid. I call back to follow up & they tell me "we don't have your paperwork". I resubmit it. They confirm receipt & say it will be paid. And this goes on over & over & over. This has been going on for weeks - it's truly ridiculous. I repeated these steps again today for the 6-7 time. I'm guessing I'll never see this money. BUYER BEWARE.

In May, I had issues with my central AC. Called and scheduled for a repair. Paid fee and it took 3 weeks for the company to come out. AHS could NOT find anyone else to do it and just ask that I wait. This is in over 90 degrees weather as well. AC tech comes out, can't diagnose and leaves saying someone else will come. I called to find out when and was told I need to do another request for service due to AHS policy! Called AHS and they "processed" my request as if this was normal even after I explained what happened. SAME tech came and said, “Oh okay we will replace a part.” He replaced it. Still have issues. Called again. Sent SAME tech. (No one else is available.) Replaced something else. 5th time, we are now in late July and still not fixed. Tech states he tried everything and will have to replace. Another 3 weeks go by and today finally a person comes out. Was told it would be $3000 for installation costs to replace only the inside unit.
Could not tell me why it was so much and blamed AHS for not covering anything. Called AHS and was on hold for over 2 hours and no one could tell me why there was $3000 of uncovered charges. Spoke with 4 people each stating they will "escalate" my call. Finally said they will email a "department" to call me within 48 hours. Meanwhile, I called 3 local companies and all quoted $4000 and under for a complete system with installation for inside AND outside. I am in disbelief how shoddy AHS has gotten. I have had them for over 6 years and used them once 2 years ago for a minor kitchen repair satisfactorily. This is unacceptable.

In my opinion AHS should check the background and credentials for some of their CONTRACTORS to ensure that customers are getting the very best experience possible that's met with a certain amount of professionalism. One of the CONTRACTOR in question is AARON'S PLUMBING, HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING. This establishment is not good for your brand and lacks the basic necessities of being a good company such as quality work and being responsive to your customer base. The one other thing I will say is if I have another PLUMBING issue and this company is all you can provide I will discontinue your services.

American Home Shield Home Warranty review. I've been trying to get my a/c condenser/coil repaired for over 11 weeks. The temperature has been in the high 90's with a heat index well over 100 degrees. My family and I have been suffering and overwhelmed by the heat. American Home Shield and the service contractors have shown little or no sympathy and compassion when it comes to getting my a/c up running and cooling. Two different service contractors have been out with no success in fixing the problem. Each contractor has replaced parts costing me nearly $1000 in uncovered costs. Yet still, my unit is inoperable.
The contractors are not taking the responsibility and are blaming the other. One also tried to contribute the cause of the malfunctioning on other parts not directly related to the problem without fixing the problem itself. Sounds pretty much like the auto repair shop technique which tries to get you to buy into other repairs out of pocket. Once again I'm scheduled for another service visit making this 11 weeks and counting since notifying AHS. AHS and the contractors aren't the bit concerned about how long my family has been suffering. I've repeatedly asked AHS and the contractors if they can prioritize my appointment since I've been out a/c for so long. Neither has shown compassion or concern by suggesting that their schedules are full. My question to them was, "who on that schedule has been without air conditioning for over 60 days"? I'm totally disappointed with AHS and the contractors that were sent out.
I need AHS to stop sending contractors out that are contradicting the other. Most of all I need AHS to APPROVE replacing the air handler unit and stop playing games. My family deserves better treatment from a home warranty company that proclaims to be one of the best in the industry. Prove it!!! Get me some air conditioning NOW! This will be 12 weeks or more and counting that I have been without air conditioning. Why is it so difficult to express next day order the part and prioritize my repair schedule. This is not the level of service I expected from a highly rated warranty company and their contractors.
Now I’m in the waiting stages again. The Contractual relations department received a second opinion for the 3rd contractor and has been given me the runaround because they haven’t made a decision to repair or replace my air handler. The second opinion contractor is the 3rd contractor sent out to my home. The 3rd contractor agreed with the 2nd contractor stating that my unit was damaged by the 1st contractor. The 1st contractor pleaded innocent and created a diagnosis that would get them off the hook for making the repairs. But I have 2 contractors standing by their diagnosis. They are totally in agreement that the air handler needs to be replaced. AHS, we’re literally suffering trying to live in a hot house. Many of our days are spent by relatives to get some kind of relief and comfort. Totally Disappointed, H. ** Louisiana.

I made the mistake of signing up after reading all the bad reviews, only because I had them before and they had been a good co. My hot water heater went out and a plumber responded. The hot water heater and service was supposed to be fully covered and per the contract it was supposed to be replaced by the same size. I was told by the company that the fee was going to be over $600 plus the $125 service fee and that was for a 55 gal. tank. My tank was an 80 gal. They said that the extra fees were because they had to fit the new pipes on the tank, which they did with flex piping which was actually easier than using copper. After repeated calls to AHS I was told that I would receive a check for $249 for the difference in tank size but I would have to pay the fee to the plumber if I wanted the tank installed.
I agreed, because I had been without hot water for 5 days, even though they were giving half the difference of what an 80 gal. tank cost and the plumber was charging me just as much as a quote I had received by an outside plumber. After not receiving the check for a month. I called back and was told that I would not receive a check because the work was done. When I said that I wanted to cancel she said that I would have to be transferred and I was put on hold for a couple minutes and then hung up on, this happened twice. I made the mistake of not listening to the reviews and I'm only writing this to hopefully help others to not make the same mistake.

Currently, I have two separate policies with American Home Shield. In the beginning, navigating their website was a bit complicated as not both of the policies were accessible online. Now it's fine. Previously, I filed a claim with American Home Shield for my AC unit and I really liked the air conditioner guy they sent. The AC has been working fine since then. More recently, I have one claim filed to American Home Shield for a stovetop that needed to be repaired and a washing machine that is being replaced. For that claim, I had to pay one deductible. With the appliance people however, I tend to have to call them and follow up. Still, they did a fine job.

Our air went out on a Friday night. The fan worked, and I tried to re-cycle it. I went out to the breaker. I did everything I know but we had no idea what the problem was. I got out the warranty and I called. It took an hour and a half to get anybody to answer. It was Friday night and I called back on Saturday. We were going through a real good heat wave out there. While I was on the phone, the guy was very nice and said, “Let me try to find somebody. Bear with me, I’m on number three.” Then he said, “Okay, I found him. They will either call you. Here’s their number.” I was relieved. The guy from Orangutan Home Services came out at 5 o’clock on a Saturday. I was starting to get nervous but he showed up. He went up on the roof and said it was my compressor. He gave me the amount for the Freon. There was a $10 credit which was nothing ‘cause Freon’s expensive.
He said, “Well, you probably won’t hear anything till Monday.” So on Monday, I got on the phone and I did get a call. We got another call and another issue, and the rep said she located the part. Earlier in the day with Orangutan, they had no idea. They said, “You know what, we have to go with what they say. They’ll tell us where to pick up the part.”
I was told that they were told that the estimated completion date of the job was August 12th. We’re 77 years old and it was 110 degrees outside. I said that was ridiculous and they said they were expediting it. The first customer service person said to call them back Thursday so that was three more days. My wife said I was too nice to that guy. So, I called back, and I got a really helpful guy. He said, “Listen, let me check everything out. Do me a favor, give the parts people till tomorrow morning,” which I did. We were sleeping in front of fans. As it turns out, at that point, Orangutan said American Home Shield gave them authorization. They called back and scheduled us for 11:00 to 3:00 on Wednesday. The guy came out and did a great job.
In looking back, American Home Shield came through although along the way, it was a little dicey like always with warranty. But only because I know how stuff worked and I said to the first guy, “Can I speak to a supervisor?” He said I was just gonna be wasting my time and that he could help as much as them but he wasn’t as helpful. With the second customer service person, I’ve learned it’s the luck of the draw when you talk to customer service with anything so it turned out, realistically, okay. And the guy was happy with the unit. It’s a Rheem unit and he put in an LG compressor. The good thing is he said there’s a ratio between incoming and outgoing air. He said, “You’re a 24, and the minimum is like 20. But 24 is excellent.” What it’s telling me is that the unit is working well.

American Home Shield sent McAttee for the garbage disposal. The doggone thing was locked up. It’d been going out for a month and I’d been banging it, turning it, hitting the button and hitting the reset. The plumber came and talked to American Home Shield. He’s the best one that American Home Shield has got. It’s a 5-star with this chap. He could be on my payroll. A lot of guys don’t have it and they're not that good and not that timely.

The front right burner wasn't working anymore on my smooth-top stove. I called AHS to put in a claim and it was pretty easy. But the representative was very mechanical.

When I call to submit claims to American Home Shield, most of the time, the reps are okay in treating the customers. The company that they sent to fix my AC was a good one and everything was fine. The contractor was on time and they did a pretty good service. Since then, the AC has been fine. However, I was a little disappointed with the increase of the co-pay that I have. I used to pay $100 and they tried to charge me more than $100 this time. I asked why they did without sending any notice before doing it.

I called American Home Shield and told them what was going on. I had two issues at the time, one was for an outlet that was not working and the other was for some water leak which I initially thought was coming from the tub. But it turned out to be from the AC and when the water stopped leaking, I had to call and cancel that claim. And AHS refunded me my deductible. They did a really good job and I appreciate that.
Their claims process was very easy and you don’t have to go back and forth. It's just a one-time call and AHS takes care of it. For my other claim, the contractors came within a day and fixed the issue. They were very good as well. I directed them to the issue and they went over all the outlets I have in the house. So, it was not like they just did whatever was out. They checked everything, made sure everything was working before they left, and they left their phone numbers and told me to call them if there was any other issue as far as the outlet was concerned.

Appliance Professionals came out to service our refrigerator. We had a very loud noise coming from it that was persistent. It was on and off. It would kinda calm down for maybe a split-second and be noisy right back up. I did the claim on a Sunday and Appliance Professionals contacted us on Monday. They were very expedient when they contacted us back. They were very professional too. They were on-time, prompt and courteous. They evaluated our refrigerator and said the issue was secondary to probably the compressor starting to fail. They gave an estimate of what they thought the amount was gonna be to fix that. They contacted American Home Shield back and told us that it was gonna be up to American Home Shield, whether or not American Home Shield would replace, or whether or not American Home Shield would choose to fix it.
American Home Shield opted to replace the refrigerator but it took a little while. I ended up calling back in at some point to kind of clarify that. They asked the exact dimensions of the refrigerator and the model number. They calculated and gave us a quote for an estimate of either cash payout or a model that they felt would be a good one. It was an outstanding experience and I’d absolutely recommend American Home Shield.

I had set the oven to do a self-cleaning for three hours, and when two hours were up, and F9 error code popped up. I looked at that online and it said it was a problem with the locking process. It stayed locked for the cycle for another hour, and then it unlocked. Unfortunately, because it was so hot and I did it late at night, I had to stay up that whole time because I didn’t know if it was gonna go for 12 hours at over 550 degrees. The guy sent by American Home Shield came out and replaced the locking mechanism itself. He couldn't stay there to monitor it, so that night, I did another three-hour cleaning. It went two hours, went F9, then it started beeping. It didn’t beep the first time.
The guy came back out and inspected the wires, and then realized it was the control panel. He ordered the part, which can be in on Monday and they’re gonna be out Tuesday to fix it. He was very professional and courteous. While he was there, we talked about other appliances and he was a very knowledgeable guy. It was an excellent experience, not only with LA Appliance but the website for American Home shield to report a problem. Because the oven wasn't fixed, I went back online and it gave the option to say, “It’s not fixed,” get immediate response and have the vendor calling. It’s been a very reputable and easy-to-use website. I’m very happy with American Home Shield.

The outside unit of the HVAC would work intermittently. There was like a conductor so when the AC itself turns on, you hear it kinda clicks on. This conductor completes the circuit, and that’s when the outside fan turns on and blows the cold air inside. This conductor thing wasn’t always completing the circuit so sometimes, it would run and it would stop. Then I’d have to go outside and hit the machine or actually open it up and hit the conductor so it would contact the other nodes so the nodes would be in contact.
I called American Home Shield this time to make sure that they didn’t send Cool Factory out ‘cause I didn’t want them coming back to my house. They came out a few times and they were garbage. The guy from NOVA, Jorge, came out and he was great. It was actually working and I explained it to him. He opened up my machine, started messing with it, and he kind of tapped that conductor and it shut off like it shouldn’t have. And he said, “Yeah, that’s the problem.” The experience with NOVA was good. Jorge was able to diagnose the issue the first time. He understood that he didn’t have the correct part. He went and ordered the part then he came back out in like two business days and fixed it. That was a fantastic turnaround.
When technicians come out, you want them to know what they’re doing. And Jorge clearly knew what he was doing. There's a big difference between NOVA and Cool Factory. My AC unit was running even though I had been experiencing issues. I explained what was going on and he took the time to try to figure out what I was telling him. My AC was always working intermittently and every time Cool Factory came out and if my AC was running at the time, regardless of how much I would explain to them, they’d say, “Well, it’s working now. You gotta call us back when it’s broken.” So, I was actually scheduling for them to come out hoping that my AC would not work when they showed up. With NOVA, their professionalism was fantastic. The expertise of their technician was fantastic, and they diagnosed my problem and fixed it. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I have American Home Shield covering my rental property and the air conditioning unit went out there. It was just a simple switch that went out and the contractor came out to fix that so that was good. Recently, Clovis Heating and Cooling went through my air conditioner. It is old so nothing was changed. A week after they came out, it finally gave out. The only problem was that they were gonna charge me $1,200 for Freon because they had to replace the system and didn't cover Freon. I wasn't gonna waste money on taking a chance on it going back out again just because they replaced the part. So, I just went ahead and bought a brand new air conditioning unit outright and I didn't go through them. It cost me almost $4,000.
The whole reason I got American Home Shield was I knew the air conditioner was probably gonna go out this summer, but I still ended up having to pay for it myself. I guess the way it works is the unit has to be completely dead. They'll keep refixing parts until it finally dies. If they would have paid for the Freon, I would have been okay, but they did not. I don't know if American Home Shield is worth it or not anymore. I'm debating on keeping them or not.

We initially had a regular check with the air conditioning unit. The claim was submitted over the phone and the representatives we spoke to were cooperative. The contractor came out and checked it. They said everything was fine and they left. About a week later, the air conditioning unit went off and we had to submit a whole new claim. The second guy came out and got the unit back and working. Then the air conditioning unit started to have a water leak in the ceiling and it messed up all the floors which have not been repaired. We called back and the third guy came out then and called in the problem. It got clogged up. He said that the first who came should’ve caught that. We suspect that the first guy just did a routine check, he didn't do a very thorough one and that had caused the problem. The third guy got some equipment and fixed it. It’s been working fine ever since then.
However, the damage that the leakage caused has not been done and American Home Shield knew that it happened. We had to get our insurance but we don’t if it's gonna be enough to cover all of the damages. Overall, American Home Shield was good up to that point. We don’t know how thorough they were with the company that they sent out, but they got someone out on time they said they would.

I have two claims I submitted and they're both similar. My AC was running hot downstairs, and I had already paid for someone to come out and work on it, but they were unable to work on it. I then called American Home Shield and said, "Hey, guys, maybe y'all have better luck." They went to their process on trying to fix it. And through that, they were very slow in fixing the problem. I requested an outside contractor, which I was granted. They came out, they assessed the situation, then, American Home Shield didn't believe them, so they sent out someone else. With the third person that came out and serviced it, it was the same thing. So, they went ahead and ordered a replacement condenser and coil. I was supposed to have landed at the contractors today to get installed, but he won't return my phone calls.
I'm being told that he is taking a four-day vacation before he installs it, which is a problem because during this process, my other AC unit also went out. I have someone come out to evaluate it and try to get it working. They did that, and then, it has been blowing hot and cold intermittently. And so, my wife opened another claim on that unit as well because it just seems to be working half the time. I've called them but it goes to voicemail. My wife has called them and he'd take her calls sometimes. The equipment was ordered by American Home Shield back on 8/13 and that was a over two weeks ago.
We then called American Home Shield saying, "Hey, our guy is supposed to be on vacation. He's not gonna install our unit. We need someone else that can do it. I don't care who you pick but pick someone else." They said they couldn't do that as he was already contracted to do the job, and that the equipment had already been assigned to him. Yesterday, my wife was on hold for 45 minutes, yelling at them to get a manager, and we never get in contact with a supervisor. I live in South Texas and it was 110 degrees heat index yesterday. My wife and my three-year-old had spent the last week and a half with my in-laws in Corpus Christi, which has been an hour and a half away from where I work. We are still waiting.

The air conditioner fan blade broke and I called it in. American Home Shield's reps were perfect. They told me it would take two to four days for a contractor to come out. And then, I called back at four days and they said there would be another couple of days, and then it took two weeks. So, it was really not good. My brother-in-law said, “Those motors only cost $40. Why don’t you just put a new motor on?” It’s about $20 to ship in the blade. I don’t understand why they didn’t just put a new motor in. But maybe my brother-in-law was just mistaken about the $40. But they fixed it. Everything is working fine now. It was a 90 degree heat and the repair took longer. So, it was a little tough, but we survived. American Home Shield is doing great.

I have two accounts with American Home Shield and I had two issues two weeks apart. One of the accounts is for a rental property I have and there, the air conditioner stopped working. I couldn't get anybody out 'til the next day. It was a really hot day, and I was hoping we can get somebody out earlier or the same day, just because I had renters there who were not very happy. They had couple of little kids in the house. I'm sure it was pretty uncomfortable with it being so hot that day.
At my own house, I started getting backups from the main drain in our lower level which is our furnace room. The drains were coming back up and water was coming back up also through the downstairs shower drain. It was starting to flood. I submitted a claim for that issue online to American Home Shield and found their process pretty easy. The techs from D2 plumbing was out by the next day. They were great and found that the issue was a bad ejector pump. They replaced that, and I haven't had a problem since. I recommend AHS all the time.

American Home Shield has been very helpful to us. The guy that they sent out for our plumbing claim was very knowledgeable. We had a slow water flow issue, and he walked me around and showed me what the issues were. He explained how I could fix it myself going forward. So he wasn’t afraid to talk to me about that and point out what was causing the slow water flow. He was very open and honest. It a was really good experience.
Submitting the claim has been easy. I sometimes do it over the phone since it is easier to describe what is happening. I encountered an issue with our oven claim a while ago. We have a wall oven and it could not be fixed after the technician came. They told me that the part was no longer in-stock. So it was recommended that we take the door off, take the hinges off, and then it could be repaired. But it would take 10 weeks to see if American Home Shield could find a replacement for it. If they couldn’t, then we get a $150 credit towards the oven. We were a little upset with that because it would only be $150 even though it is a $3,000 unit. We managed to get through that, and it was the only hiccup that we had.

We were having some trouble with the lights in the house. The bathroom went out a couple of times and then there were times when the entire house would go down just for a second, then come back, and five minutes later, the same thing would happen. But it was localized into our house. It wasn’t a neighborhood problem. The contractor called the next day after submitting the claim and scheduled an appointment for three days later. One gentleman came and he answered all our questions. I was concerned about the fire hazard stuff and I asked him to test some of the outlets in the house. He walked around and tested as many as he could see that weren’t covered by furniture and he schooled us a little bit about how it works with the main button that is pushed to reset. It’s like the central hub. Everything worked correctly and we haven’t had any trouble since that day.
We also had some plumbing situation and a different contractor came out for that last week. We had an exterminator out and he did an inspection underneath the house and he said that we had two leaks in the bathroom so we called American Home Shield to schedule an appointment and the plumber came out. He figured out that it wasn’t really even a leak. It was just that the bathtub faucet needed caulking around it so the water was leaking through there. He was here for about an hour and a half or so while he was testing everything. Everything went fine with that too.

We called in a problem with our refrigerator on 8/1/2019, a tech came to our home to look at the refrigerator on 8/7/2019 and gave us the following options: (1) have the refrigerator replaced (2) have the parts ordered for this older refrigerator which would basically rebuild it (non-energy saving). On Friday, 8/9 I checked online, the service request is in authorization review. Today, I called to ask what was delaying the repair or replacement, the representative told me they needed to call the contractor to verify the parts that needed to be ordered, AHS informed me that they would make the determination.
My question to AHS, is why are you calling today? If I wouldn't have called, my service request would still be waiting for AHS to call the contractor to order the parts or work with AHS to identify a replacement. To make things worse, the AHS representative asks me to call AHS back on Monday so they can call the contractor. I said, why do you need me on this call, you already mentioned that AHS would be making the decision... We don't care, we just want our refrigerator replaced or fixed!

I never got a call and finally got through to the plumber AHS lined up on Monday morning. I was able to get my own plumber to come out Saturday night to address the issue. AHS still charged me the $100 fee and wouldn't reimburse me for the $300 I spent on my plumber because I didn't go through the proper process.

I scheduled to request service for my A/C unit on a Saturday. I knew something was wrong with my A/C unit by the sound it was now making. I have had many different things replaced on my A/C unit before thru the American Home Shield warranty company. Most recent was the Compressor within 2 years, and other items prior to that such as the capacitor, contractor, coil, drip pan.
When the technician came out on Wednesday, his diagnoses was compressor is going out. I questioned him as, "Are you sure it's not a bearing or something on the fan unit? I had the similar noise before and that was the repair." He said no, his tests show that low voltage or draw from the compressor is showing it's going to fail. I told him that the compressor was just changed less than two years ago and that it seems funny that my original compressor lasted 17 years and the new one installed 2 years ago is going out. He said that your warranty company (American Home Shield) is not going to have us fix it until it is no longer working. His wording on the paperwork says "Compressor is making a lot of noise due to the compressor valve air going out making compressor pull amps but still working hard/will submit to Home warranty if they want to do anything." "Compressor on way out soon but don't know when".
My wife has medical problems and does not do well in the heat. It has been over 110 degrees lately here in AZ where we live. I don't want to wait for a complete breakdown and then have to wait for the American Home Shield warranty to schedule someone again to come out. We then will have to wait for another diagnosis and then for the American Home Shield Warranty Company to order the part and wait to be scheduled for the repair.
This same thing happened to me before and it was about a week and 1/2 process to finally get it fixed. If there is a problem and they know it, why isn't the corrective action taken before a complete breakdown? Why am I getting charged the call out fee for nothing that was done? This is like you running over a nail and your tire pressure is going down because your car tells you that you have low pressure but the company tells you to just add air until it blows. This isn't right. Robert

I called him and he told me he had seven days to come. I canceled on him immediately when I checked online and found so many adverse comments about him. For that concern, we ended up not filing with AHS because of the guy they had. At that point, we were without a refrigerator and we were trying to get going. We flipped over and found out that we could get the compressor for a fridge from LG. However, it turned out that their guy couldn't get our refrigerator going anyway so we bought a new one. Even so, I don't know why AHS referred me to a guy that was 60 miles away and with a very bad reputation.

American Home Shield's reps were great. They were very responsive. I filed an air conditioning claim, and the contractor actually called me on a Sunday afternoon to boot. They came in Monday and they were there on time and diagnosed the issue. They had to order a motor. So, they couldn't fix it till Wednesday, but it took them like 20 minutes to do it. It was fixed Wednesday. But they said, “We know where this motor is. We just have to go get it.” So, they communicated extremely well. If they would've had one on the truck, they would've put one on that day, but they wanna make sure they had the right part.

American Home Shield sent TruFix Repair out to service our request on the refrigerator. It wasn’t allowing any water to get through the thing in the water door. And on top of that, it kept leaking at the bottom and I was getting ice buildup on the bottom. American Home Shield's reps have always been really good. We’ve been dealing with them for quite some time. The guy from TruFix was very polite, very professional, and provided quick service. He went through what he did step-by-step. He had to order a part which we had to wait for, and as soon as the part came in, he called and set up another appointment, came back, and did it. My overall experience with American Home Shield was so easy. All you have to do is make the call, they take care of the rest.

I called American Home Shield for my air unit issue and they assigned Total Air Care. The tech came quickly by the second day and he was knowledgeable. He explained everything. The line was clogged and the coils were dirty. So, the unit kept freezing over and it was leaking all over the floor. Their tech cleaned it up, did the job and we haven't had any problems since.

American Home Shield's online claims process is fairly easy and simple. It usually takes about 48 hours to contact me. But I'm usually calling them the next day because they take took long to call. I understand that if you call on the weekend, you have to wait till the next business day, but they don’t usually call the next business day. It’s usually the day after. But the service has been fine. But the air conditioning ordeal was horrible. We were without air conditioning for over a week and it was a 100-degree weather. The turnaround time was entirely too long, and we had to stay in a hotel.
I’ve been with American Home Shield since 2014, and this was the first time I’ve been very dissatisfied and considering going with another home warranty company because of how long that took for my air conditioning. It was because of American Home Shield not wanting to approve the work, and I’ve never had that happen. They were only gonna pay for one night at a hotel. This was very inconvenient, and the whole ordeal was ridiculous. I would not recommend American Home Shield. I was online looking at all of the complaints, and it looked like everybody from everywhere was on their Facebook page. Somebody needs to go look into that, complaining about their air conditioning being out and getting the same runaround being without air. So, there’s definitely a disconnect and a problem with the turnaround time with American Home Shield taking forever to approve the job.

American Home Shield had somebody come out and checked my air conditioning unit because I didn’t think it was working up to standards. AHS took care of things promptly and had somebody out. It worked out pretty well for us. The technician was very professional in his service. He checked the unit and everything seemed to be okay. He tried to put a little bit of Freon in but that wasn’t helping anything. Overall, I was satisfied with everything that was done.
My impression was, and the technician kind of indicated this, I felt maybe my air conditioner was a little too small for my house. The technician said the only problem with trying to get a larger air conditioner had to do with getting the proper airflow. He said I could go up a little bit but I probably couldn’t do much more than that. That aside, his temperature readings on the outside temperature, the inside temperature was within spec. Everything was copacetic. It worked out very well for us. Also, there was no extra charge for extra Freon and stuff like that.

Sears installed a new hot water almost a year ago and I called them because there was no cold water. It was mostly hot water. They sent the one that installed it and he fiddled on every outlet of the water. That has nothing to do with all these outlets, but it’s the connection that they did over in the back. They could not find it so he just went around and fiddled everything until he got to the washing machine and made all kinds of things over there. Now, the knob in the washing machine is broken.
I had problem all weekend because it’s flowing. I was calling American Home Shield on a Saturday and they said they would call me in two hours to give me updates if anybody was coming, and they never called. So, I called back. It was another lady and she said they were looking for somebody that would come in within four hours. That would be 10 o’clock at night but they never called so I gave up on them and went on my own way. I called somebody else to come and do it because it was leaking in between the walls of the garage.
I told American Home Shield to tell Sears to call me. They left a message, but they never called. Sears is bad. They cost more trouble for me than installing that thing. They called this morning that somebody would come, and I said, “No. It’s too late already. Somebody’s scheduled, they’re on their way here.” I also had another issue in the past with some other company that American Home Shield sent for the kitchen sink. I even suggested to them they had to change the filter. I had the parts, but they wouldn’t do anything. They said I needed a new one and that was all they could say. They didn’t want to touch anything. I think they didn’t know what to do. There was one guy who was good. He was the one that suggested on the new water heater.

I made a request on the 26th of July and Antech Appliances came out and fixed my icemaker. I had another service call that I made that day for an air-conditioning repair and that has been a terrible experience. The company was called Total Heating and Cooling. They came out and looked at the air conditioner, and they wanted to relocate the entire air conditioner. I said that I live in a condo-type building and there’s no other place to put it. There’s a pump that apparently needs to be replaced because there’s a drain issue and they’ve never gotten back to me. I called AHS and they told me to wait, and that the contractor would get in touch with me, which he finally did. But then after he said he had to order a pump, he hasn’t gotten back to me, and that’s been a couple of weeks now. I would have to call AHS back about that because the contractor apparently doesn’t respond.
There are some service techs that AHS contracts with who are fine and there are other service techs that don’t know what they’re doing or are non-responsive, or if you look them up on Yelp, they have a rating of 1, and that’s who the air-conditioning tech was so he’s pretty bad. So it’s kind of the luck of the draw with the AHS service techs.

I made a claim that my washer was not working. At my request, American Home Shield sent a person to check it out. That person came on a Monday and said that they had to order a part and they would be back on Friday. They didn't come back on Friday so I had to call them on Monday. He said that the part hasn’t come in yet. Then he called me back later that day and told me that the part arrived and that I should make an appointment so I did that the following Thursday. They come out and supposedly replaced the control unit and the water shut-off valve but the washer still didn't work. They went back and did the report to AHS then AHS sent out another company for a second opinion.
The second one came out to the property and said that he had to replace the same thing that the first company said they were replacing. I tried to call the second company and I asked to speak to the technician who came out to the house and looked at the washer. The woman on the other line said that the guy was in the meeting and that she'll have him call me back. I waited three hours later and then I called the number back. I asked if the guy was still in the meeting and the woman said that she forgot to tell him and that she'll have him call me that time. Well, that never happened until this past Friday. And so, I explained to him that the part that he’s ordering is the same part that the first company said they ordered and replaced. He said he'd call them to find out but I still haven't heard back from him.
I already talked to American Home Shield and the guy sent me over to the purchasing department. The purchasing department said that they don’t have this information and that it would be best if I'd be at the property near the appliance as I wasn’t currently there when I first called, but I had been on hold for a while. So, then today I called back to see if I could get something resolved and I was on hold for 54 minutes. When I talked to the lady, she said they were still waiting on the part. I think there’s a bunch of confusion going on.
I’ve only made two claims since I’ve had AHS. The first one went okay. I just bought a dishwasher, brand new, but it wasn’t working, so I made the claim. I watched the guy come in the house, look at it, pull his wrench out, tighten the bolt up, and walk right back out the house. Not even five minutes. I still had to pay the $75. It has been working ever since. But I am dissatisfied with this current situation because with school starting back and all that, having to go and lug clothes to the laundromat when I had a washer and dryer in my home is just an inconvenience. AHS charged me the initial $75 but nothing has been resolved. We’re still without a washer for about almost five weeks now. They thought they fixed the issue but they never did.

I made a service request online because I have a leaking pipe in my house and I had called to have a plumber come out to identify where the leak was and to fix it. They assigned me to the contractor, and then I got an email back that said I'd be contacted within 24 hours to schedule, but the plumber never called me. So, after two or three days, I started calling, trying to find out. I found out that I needed to reach out to him, that he alleged that he was unable to reach me, which was not true.
And so, after a week, we finally got in touch with him. He showed up at my house two weeks from the date that I submitted the request, and he spent literally three minutes in the house before he said there was no leak and this wasn’t covered. He then stormed out of my house. Since then, I’ve called three or four more times to try to let American Home Shield know that there is a leak. I then called a company to come out on my own and paid out-of-pocket, and they found a six-inch break in the pipe in the wall. I have pictures of it that I can email or send in. It’s a six-inch break in the pipe inside the perimeter of the home. I did not get it fixed. AHS said that they were waiting on a report from the plumber who came in for three minutes and stormed out.
Also, in the second and third time that I called American Home Shield, I requested a different plumber, and they said they could not do that until they had gotten a report from this man. And they actually tried to call him twice while I was on the phone, and both times, they said his voicemail was full and they couldn’t leave him a voicemail. I’ve been trying to work with American Home Shield to get this situation resolved, but I have not had a resolution yet. My entire kitchen is dismantled. The cabinets are out and the wall is open. I just need them to send a plumber who will fix the break in the pipe. It’s been over a week since I started calling, and I’m at the point where I’m talking to an attorney about what I need to do with it. I’ve had them for seven years and up until this incident, I would’ve rated them very highly because they’ve always been responsive and I never had a problem like this.

We have used our warranty three times. With the first two we had no issue as we did not have to contact AHS directly.

After the tech came and informed us the oven could not be fixed here is where the problem starts. We waited three days to hear from them and after no contact, we contacted them. We got a woman overseas that barely spoke English, had to call again, again got a woman who barely spoke English. We were told four different things about our issue.
After two more phone calls I finally got a rep in the states and was able to find out our oven was in fact going to be replaced. She could not authorize it tho as the replacement oven exceed her allowed amount but was under our contract amount. What? She had to get supervisor approval and promised to call us back before business close that day no matter what. Three based and business close came.

I purchased a Home Warranty from American Home Shield (AHS) for $655.00 on July 11th. On July 18th as my central air unit was not working properly, I was so happy to have my new home warranty until I attempted to use it! Here we are almost a month and 33 calls later and my unit is still repaired! The American Home Shield is completely inept, very little is covered, there are fees associated with all services and they do not have enough qualified trustworthy contractors. Therefore I requested a refund of my $655.00 purchase price, within 30 days of purchase, but was offered a prorated refund of $439.00 because I used the service. I am not sure how 33 calls and two no shows by contractors (when I had to take off work to be home) constitutes using the service!
My recommendation would be to avoid American Home Shield at all costs, your money would be better spent tossing it out the window; at least you could see the joy on the faces of others rather than the frustration of calling repeatedly and being told you have to wait 24 – 48 hours for a return call only to receive that call 5 days later. American Home Shield is a disaster!

I have had an American Home Shield Warranty on one of my homes since 2017. While I cannot say I was overly impressed on prior service requests, the jobs were completed without complication. Recently I had really terrible service. In July I placed a service call request for a problem in two of my bathrooms. The inability for their call center to communicate in English was beyond frustrating!!! The representative I was speaking with could not understand what I was calling about. The service request was incorrect, and was cancelled right away, but still got charged.
I made another service call request, and none of the issues I had were deemed to be covered (a leaky faucet and a stopped up drain). I wonder if AHS will use the roughly 18% increase in their annual cost and service calls to improve their service. I SINCERELY DOUBT IT!!!! If you are considering American Home Shield for your home warranty – do yourself a big favor – go someplace else.

When the tech first came out, I had a drain but he didn’t have the piece to put that on there, so he had to come back and see what piece was missing. Then, he had to order the part and come back and put it on. So, that took three visits and AHS charged me three times for it. So, I have to call them. They shouldn’t have charged me thrice for it.

American Home Shield is so good, I would hate for them to ruin their reputation, but my most recent claim was involving Sundance Plumbing and I would never use them again.

I sell American Home Shield through Farmers, so it’s a big deal to me for my clients. Sundance Plumbing was also out to one of my clients and it took them two weeks. On a different note, I have another claim and it's for my refrigerator. Appliance Wizard replaced the ice maker and the valve, but the panel is out too, so they had to order that.

There were a couple of times that the AHS contractors came out. One time, our unit stopped working. They fixed it. They said they put a motor in it. They plugged a new motor in there but it wouldn't shut off. The contractor had to come out again. They ripped my old thermostat off the wall which pissed me off, put up a new one, but the issue was still not fixed. The unit still wouldn't shut off appropriately. They had to come back out again because the unit stopped working.
AHS's contractors were fine but I wish they would communicate better with each other. I feel like there's a history about this particular unit that I was surprised I had to fill them in on as opposed to getting dispatched. Since I was asking questions, I was able to kinda tell them what the guy before thought and tell them that the unit wasn't shutting off after they had left. They came in and they fixed it. I was thrilled. But 25 hours later, it was like this unit would not shut off again.
I called them to tell them and I was shutting the unit off because I didn't want an electric bill that was like $1,000. I was doing it by hand. I was shutting it on and off during the day then it just stopped working again. Those guys should have known to check that before they left and told me it was all fixed. In general, I have found the contractors to be polite and quick. I gave them better information and they continued to look for the problem. The problem was solved. They said there was something wrong with the relay board and it took them days to find the part for it. The unit has been working fine. since
There are times when AHS drags out some stuff that could have been done, but they don't wanna pay for the next thing. Two months later, I have to pay another 75 bucks and they wind up fixing the problem correctly. That was what happened with my pool pump. They had been telling me for two years that it was failing out. They kept replacing stupid parts. Finally, they replaced the pool pump this year. That could have happened like last year though so I didn't wind up paying $75 three times. It was the same with my air conditioning thing. I had to pay them multiple times. The technician guy wanted to do something different but we had to wait five days in over 105-degree weather to get a part. I went five days in such condition with animals in the house and no air conditioning.

We purchased a new house and we had AHS come in and change all of the exterior locks. We submitted the claim and pre-paid everything online. It cost us a $75 deductible for that service then the local service company contacted us and came straight out. The company responded within 24 hours and it took about two hours to rekey the locks. So, it was awesome. The tech also provided us with extra spare keys and didn't charge us for it.
Good afternoon Christopher,

Water Control Plumbing came out for the toilet. The water wasn't going down well and the tank wasn't refilling. I filed the claim over the phone and when I go over the phone, I like being able to speak to someone. And sometimes, it takes a bit of a while to actually speak to a human at American Home Shield. Initially, they had assigned me someone and that person didn't come. I put the call in on either a Thursday or a Friday and he was supposed to come Monday but he didn't. So, American Home Shield reassigned me an individual when I called. As to why the person had not come, they said that the call had been canceled.
American Home Shield rescheduled me someone and the person came out that same day. He was excellent. He was able to fix everything in one day. He fixed the toilet. My tub was dripping, but he fixed that also. He cleaned up after himself as well. After he fixed the initial problem, he had left, and I called back. He came back the next day 'cause he had to put another part in. I'm very satisfied with American Home Shield and I'd recommend them.

I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for a plumbing issue. The online process was fairly easy to do, and then TAZ Plumbing came out in about three days. They were excellent. The technician came, and he was very polite and professional. He took care of the problem and told me how I could deal with it in the future. Everything has gone fine with the repair made. However, I have one other issue: another contractor came and he made a repair on the leaking washer, but it is leaking again now. That was about 10 days ago, and I’ve been trying to reach them for three days and I get no response. Nevertheless, on the issue where TAZ came out, I was very happy.

The battery had gone bad on my washing machine. It took about four days for American Home Shield's assigned contractor come out from the day they assigned somebody. They had scheduled an appointment. The contractor was pretty good and there was great communication. He worked well, told me what was wrong, and what it would take to fix it. He was ordering parts and he would contact me once again. This is my second year with American Home Shield. I'm very happy with them compared to what I had before.
Good Morning James,
Thank you for sharing your recent experiences with AHS. We are happy that we were able to get the issue resolved for you and we look forward to our continued business together. Enjoy your day.

We bought the house back in February and American Home Shield came with it. The house is a little older so it had some stuff and anytime I’ve called AHS, everything has been taken care of immediately. The most recent was for my air conditioner. It stopped working on the hottest day of the year, so I put the claim in right away, and I got the text that someone is gonna get a hold of me within 24 hours. The guy’s number was there so I decided to call and he happened to be in the neighborhood. Instead of coming the next day, he was at my house within an hour and he fixed my AC. I never believed in American Home Shield and thought it was a scam, but it has come in handy. Now, I tell everybody about it, and I’m gonna re-up it when it comes due.
Good Morning Steven,
We strive to provide you with a great team of contractors and an even better customer service experience. We hope you continue to enjoy your AHS warranty!

My air went out on a Friday night and I put in the claim then. When I first called, it said to make the payment, but I wondered how they were gonna know what's wrong, so I hung up and called back. I explained to them that I made the payment through the phone and since it was still the same issue, I didn't have to pay the second payment.
Home Shield did everything when I called in and they followed up with the email as far as letting me know that they had sent out the email to the contractor. When I didn't hear anything from him, I called him that Sunday, which was around the time they had a storm. We had a little storm here and he was gonna try to get out that Monday while we were under curfew, but he didn't make it. He came on Tuesday and repaired the AC, but my air went out again on a Saturday. Then, the contractor remembered the house, so he called me back and asked what was going on.
I explained and he came out that Monday, but he had to order the blower fan for the AC unit. He tried to overnight it but he couldn't. The piece didn't come in until Thursday, but other than that, the contractor came out and looked at it. He did the best that he could and everything is good now. He made me feel like he was very concerned about what’s going on too. He was very professional and he kept us informed on everything that was going on daily.
I certainly hate to hear that we did not provide the expected service. You have some issues with us here at AHS & I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for sharing your feedback as we hope to improve processes for a better customer experience. Have a great week.

The AC was blowing hot air and this was the second time that I had to call American Home Shield over the summer. I also had to pay a second copay and that irritated me. Then when the guy from United Air Temp left, it took a few hours for the house to cool down and that caused concern for me because usually, when somebody comes out to fix the AC, it’ll start working again immediately. I was worried that it wasn’t quite right. Yesterday, it was hot in my house again. But then it's been hot here. As far as I can tell, it seems to be fine. I also recommend the warranty company to my friends all the time.

Our stovetop quit working about a month ago and we submitted a claim online to American Home Shield. Doing that was pretty easy. We ended up having RM Service Masters come out and they had to have an electrician come out as well. Both of the contractors they sent were really professional. The tech from RM Service Masters pulled out the stove and looked at it. He said the issue looked like it was electrical. He didn't do more to it and had AHS put in a claim for an electrician to come out. The electrician came and he flipped a breaker back on but the stovetop still wasn't working right. He somehow reset it and when he did, it started working again. He said that the issue could be that the breaker needed to be replaced and that he was going to put something in to have that fixed. However, I haven't heard anything since then. Still, going through AHS for my claim was a good experience.

We had an issue with the garbage disposal. We went online to submit a claim with AHS and the tech from Harvey's Plumbing & Drain came out. Our experience with them was good and since the repair, the garbage disposal's performance has been great.

American Home Shield has always been good to us. Anytime we've had to use them, they have always come through, and they have always been really good. Service has been done pretty rapidly. As a matter of fact, we have sent several different families to them, and they have signed up with American Home Shield and are now using them.
When our AC went dead, we filed a claim over the phone. I was kinda disappointed in a way because American Home Shield was trying to contact the contractor, and they said that there was nobody answering the phone. And it just so happens that a good friend of ours who lives here in the hometown where me and my brother live told us about a contractor that was a good friend of his, and that all we had to do is call him up and he would come out and take care of the problem. So, we called the guy up. He agreed to come out and take care of the problem. And I came to find out that he was the one that American Home Shield has been trying to contact.
And so, I called American Home Shield and I told them, "This contractor is coming out to the house, and he happens to be on your list of contractors that you have been trying to reach," but it was after hours, it was on the weekend, and it just so happened to be a holiday weekend, and the contractor was not answering the phone. We called the contractor on his personal cellphone because he was a friend of a good friend of ours. So, American Home Shield from that point on went ahead and they sent us out the information that we needed, the work order number and everything else, and the guy came out and took care of the problem.

The downstairs air conditioning was not working. The temperatures were climbing, yet the air conditioner was continually running. It just wasn’t cooling. I called American Home Shield and they assigned me to US Air Conditioning of Texas. Then, the vendor called me and we got an appointment set up. When I originally got in touch with them, they said somebody would call me to confirm that they would be out the next day between 8:00 and 12:00. But that did not happen because I got a call that night from the person who was coming and he told me that my service would be between 3:00 and 5:00 based on the locations on where he had to make his call that day.
Other than that, he did a very good job. He explained everything and showed me what was going on physically on the unit when he was working on it. He also explained how it affected its performance and why it wasn’t cooling. Then he showed me when he was changing the capacitor out. After that, the AC immediately started cooling and I haven’t had any problems with it since.

The AC fan wasn’t coming on and circulating. I filed a claim with American Home Shield and the guy who came out reset the system. He turned it off and took the power off from it, and when he fired it back up, it started. But now, every time that the power turns off and back on, the AC fan doesn’t automatically come back on. We’ve been here almost a year and we’ve never had this problem before. So what I’ve been doing is cutting the main breaker, turning it off for about 15 seconds and turning it back on. Then the fan comes back on. But I’ve never had to do that before and we’ve had power outages.
My concern is that if there’s something getting ready to go out, why am I having to do this now? What if I’m gone on vacation and all of a sudden, it decides to do this and gets up to 100 degrees in here? I would also like to have had the contractor out over the weekend. It was over the weekend and they didn’t have an appointment until Tuesday. I also think that the guy had to dive into it a little deeper especially if that’s gonna continue to happen, but other than that, I was very happy with what he did. He was very professional and he was here on time. All in all, they did a good job.
