The American Home Shield rep who assisted me on the phone when I submitted the claim did very well and the contractor took a day to come out for service. It was very quick. A part needed to be ordered and when the part came in, I called them and they came right out and fixed it. Since then, everything has been going fine.

I was having problems with the faucet and I thought submitting a claim to American Home Shield was a lot easier on the phone but it was a nightmare. They couldn’t find where my account was and didn’t know what to do. It was frustrating. While they were on the phone trying to find my account, I pulled it up online and got it done. If I ever need to do it again, I’ll just do it online. The contractor came out in just a few days and did a great job. The issue was resolved. They were helpful, nice, easy to work with and honest, which was good. I liked them.

It was a pretty easy filing a claim online for my AC and within 24 hours, someone got back to me. American Home Shield sent out a contractor that was professional and dealt with the issue quickly. The only thing I would have wanted was to have a little more explanation as to why.

My air conditioning was not cooling so I called American Home Shield's 1-800 number and they sent out the contractor last week. But it is not working again, so they're sending the tech out again. So far, American Home Shield was fine and their claims reps were able to answer my questions in a timely manner.

I called American Home Shield around three years ago, and it delved on the vendor that they sent out. They were gouging not only American Home Shield, but they were gouging me. They didn't do the best they could and they didn't do anything. I got a little elevated. So when I called in for my AC this time, I made it clear to American Home Shield that I wanted somebody that was gonna come out and wasn’t gonna be like that. The person from American Home Shield heard me and sent me out a real good company, and a good guy.
The AC started making noise and then it stopped altogether. The technician was real knowledgeable. He asked me where my filter was, and when we pulled that thing down, we saw all that dust in that raggedy filter. So that was one thing. And then we went to the back and he gave me some tidbits about the unit, which was good. He told me that the folks from some of the companies are working on commission so they gotta try to sell something. So it made sense why the dude before was gonna charge me all that for Freon, which I did not need. I've had American Home Shield for almost 20 years and I've submitted claims for the washing machine, the dryer and then the air conditioner. I’m a person that doesn’t use it unless I really, really, really need to. But American Home Shield has been good money.

When I couldn't get water to the refrigerator, I submitted a claim online and it was much better than trying to wait for a person. I had control and it's easier when I can do it at my own convenience. I felt good about it. AM PM Plumbing, the contractor that came out, was very good. They had to get the piece and get that approved, and they kept me up all the time which was great. They also did my water heater and they were excellent both times they were here. All in all, I've had a very good experience with American Home Shield. I just moved in, so I was very surprised how quickly they responded.

I've had American Home Shield since ’99. We have an issue with a contractor that they kept sending to my house Advance Appliances, so I just told them, “Just do me a favour. Don’t never send them to my house no more.” But every time I try to book it online, a lot of times, it’d be Advance Appliance, so I had to sit on the whole call. So this time, I just called to eliminate all that. The lady said, “Okay, we got it set up. They’ll be calling you.” They never called, so I looked it up. I pulled up my account online, and it’s saying that they're waiting on me to call the contractor. But I never had to do that for 40 years. That me pissed off. So I called, set up the appointment with the lady, and everything was cool.
Then the guy called me that morning and gave me a 2-hour window. It was 10:00 to 12:00 and they never showed up. He called me 9:30 and told me, “We’re running a little late.” 12:30 I did not hear anything. So I made a call and the guy answered the phone and it was like he was mad at me. I said, “Sir, I’m just trying to call for a follow-up. Y’all called me this morning, but I ain’t heard nothing.” He said, “Well, I told you. We was gonna be getting somebody out there, and the first job ran a little longer.” I said, “Well, you ain’t gotta get rude. I’m the customer. I’m just calling to ask you.” That pissed him off even further.
He said, “Well, if you want to, you can just call them back and tell them to get you somebody else.” So I got a lot of issues. I knew that was gonna go real ugly, so I just hung up. I called AHS back, and they gave me another contractor. That other contractor called me to say, “We had a cancellation. Can we come on now?” I said, “Let’s do it.” They came, the guy went and got a part, fixed it, and was gone. I’m very satisfied.

The first time I submitted a claim to American Home Shield for my refrigerator, my experience was not that great. It took almost eight days to get something done. When the tech from Mississippi finally showed up, he got the refrigerator back on very quickly. That was rough and I almost pulled the plug on the claim because it was so complicated. AHS would activate people and then whenever those people would call me, they would tell me that they don't work on a particular model.
There was a contractor in Covington who said that my location was outside their jurisdiction. My location is in a little community called Sun, which is in St. Tammany Parish, but unfortunately, our mailing address is Bogalusa. The person whom I was speaking to then told me where the line was and it was two miles down the road. That was a little disheartening. Another time, their contractor Barber's Hardware and Repair declined the refrigerator repair I requested because they didn’t know how to do that particular type. AHS has contractors under certain restrictions and their payment is all set up. With the refrigerator claim, I could've called somebody and had them out the next day.
AHS should have a bigger pool of contractors and more of them in my area. They should also have a list of everything I have. So, when I make a call, their reps can determine that my refrigerator is a Frigidaire and ask their contractor whether or not they worked on that. By doing that, the contractor can decline right then and avoid wasting a bunch of time.
More recently, my AC was low on Freon and had quit cooling. Barber's seems to be American Home Shield's go-to person. Their tech came out with the owner of the business to do the service call and he went above and beyond the call of duty. Barber’s pulled the reins back on my first experience and performed really well. Their tech was very professional, personable and friendly.

Our air-conditioning system seemed not to be cooling as well as it had been through last summer when it started to heat up in May. I filed a claim with American Home Shield and they let me know that I will hear from the contractor within 24 hours. Air Zone called and they worked around my work schedule. It was pretty quick. It happened within four to six hours. We had an appointment, but they called a day early and said they had an unexpected opening. They accommodated me picking up my daughter from day care and met me at the house after 5PM. They jumped into diagnosing what was going on. They checked the system and ran through everything. It turned out they needed to add some Freon to the system. It was like 33% low of what it should have been at. They were in and out of there in about two hours.
Everything has been working fine and the issue with the cooling has improved. The repair got our cooling system working again and the house to a more comfortable temperature when we needed it. So far, it’s been very easy with American Home Shield. I called for a couple of plumbing issues as well, and it's always timely and pretty simple. I have no complaints. Whenever they send me a contractor, I do a bunch of research and, definitely, I’ve had some anxiety before some of the contractors have shown up. I don’t know if the people writing those reviews are just really picky, or maybe they don’t communicate what their problem is very well, but I have not had any experiences like what I’ve read some people have online. Everything’s been great and I would definitely recommend American Home Shield.

I put in a claim with American Home Shield because my dishwasher had some flooding going on after a party. I was about to leave out of town with my house in the hands of a home sitter, so I needed to get stuff done quickly. I did the claim online over the weekend and it took a little bit more time for me to get a call back. But I was not surprised with that given it was the weekend. This was the second time I’ve used a claim with American Home Shield, and the same local provider came out. The person that came over was wonderful, and fixed the dishwasher. It was easy and awesome.

The contractor for the garage doors got there within a few days. They were great. The problem was not completely solved because it wasn’t something that was covered by American Home Shield, but they were able to come out and take a look. They advised me what it would be if we wanted to get it fixed. The garage door experience was totally fine. We had another claim for our instant hot water that was broken and the contractor was able to eventually come out. They assessed that it needed to be replaced, and the guy went out to the property yesterday and replaced it.
The experience of setting up that service call was a little bit frustrating because I spent quite a while on the phone. I wound up calling in because it would not allow me to submit that request online. I sat on the phone with a rep for quite a while before she was able to resolve the situation. She was telling me that that was not covered under our plan even though I was looking at the contract and telling her exactly what page it said that it was covered. She said, “No, I’m sorry. Even though you’re looking at that right now, that is not your plan.” I basically had to fight quite a bit on that for her to even look into it further to see that it was actually covered under our contract. Had it been an older person or somebody that wasn’t as literate as I was, they could have been taken advantage of and just having to do it themselves even though it was actually paid for under the contract.

American Home Shield was fine in sending out someone to initially check the air conditioning unit, and then they turned me over to a vendor who came out and did an estimate. At that point in time, I sought out other estimates of other vendors separate from American Home Shield. I started looking at quotes from other people. The contractor that American Home Shield assigned to me seemed to be the highest of all the quotes that I got. I'm in a multi-story building, and they told me that a crane was needed and that would be my cost built into their full cost. But they were the only vendor that said they required a crane. So I ended up not using the vendor that American Home Shield offered.
I got a brand-new complete HVAC system, but American Home Shield did not give me the full $1,500 policy coverage for a HVAC, and that is very not good. The refrigerant was different with the new unit than the old one, so the heat unit did not correspond with a new condenser that was gonna be up on the roof. They didn't match. But I was never reimbursed for the heat situation, only for the condenser.

I made a claim for my microwave and the online process was significantly easier than calling in. After the tech got here, we found out that the control board went out. All the buttons and lights worked, but it wouldn’t kick on and start heating. The tech cleaned up after himself and did a good job. Unfortunately, it took quite a long time to get the control board in. The timetables on some of these claims are a bit excessive. This claim took almost two months, and with my air conditioner before that, it took over a month. Still, I plan on recommending AHS to the next homebuyer.

I like submitting my claims to American Home Shield over the phone. I like to hear the other person’s voice, and noticing my concerns, and taking my needs in consideration. I know online is easier, but I like the phone calls. I had a technician come and look at the trash compactor when it had a really, really bad odor. I also noticed that it was making a stuttering sound when I pushed it to get it going. It was like it wouldn’t spin around. The tech said everything was fine. The odor is gone now, but I don’t use it anymore because I’m afraid that it will get stuck. The tech was very knowledgeable. I asked other questions, and he didn't seem like trying to rush and get out here. He actually explained to me what I can do when a certain case happens. And explained to me where the stuff goes and take out the little pipes and clean them out as much as I can. So, I appreciate that a lot.

My refrigerator freezer was melting and freezing had I had to increase the temperature to the highest point to get it to freeze at the right level. The first tech whom AHS sent undid the back of the refrigerator and said that the issue was a refrigerant leak. He then said he couldn't fix the problem and that somebody else needed to be called from Sears. The tech from Sears came out and said that the problem had nothing to do with the refrigerant. Instead, there was a seal issue in the freezer and that the thermostat needed to be replaced.
The first tech lied to my face and I didn't appreciate that because he didn't know what he was talking about nor do I understand why he came out to my place at all. Also, when the second guy came out, he didn't know what the first guy said, so he wasn't even looking for a refrigerant leak. Now, I'm not buying a lot of food because I'm afraid I'm gonna end up having a problem.

American Home Shield sent CRC Appliance for the refrigerator. We had a leak near where the filter is for the waterline for the ice maker.

I had a leak in my water heater so I called AHS and the rep told me that a contractor was gonna call me. I called on a Friday and expected not to hear from the contractor probably till Monday, and he showed up about 4:00 in a Saturday afternoon. After he was here and I went upstairs, there was notification on my email. I hadn't looked at the email because they said the contractor would call me. That was what I was waiting on. I don’t know when I got those emails, but there was one there telling me that he was gonna show up. And that did not give me a time.
The contractor was telling me that the pressure valve is there in case something happens with the city line and the pressure builds up. He was pleasant and all that, but he was telling us that when the county or city works on the water, it gets surge and this and that. I told him, “We’ve been here for 33 years and we have never had that problem.” The only time we ever had a problem with the water heater is when it's broken. I have two elements. It’s a 50-gallon. He checked the top element and that was dry, so that solidified what he thought was correct. And I showed him the water in the back where it gravitated to. He said, “That’ll clear up,” only it didn't. So, he vacuumed the pan out and I still have water all over the back behind the heater and the washer.
Nevertheless, I bought off on what he said, but my wife didn't. He left and it was still leaking and was pretty bad. It’s about half-an-inch-thick water. Because the thing sits on my garage and it’s between my washer and dryer I wasn’t 100% sure that maybe it was the washer. So, Saturday, we pulled the washer out and there were no leaks with the washer, and it was coming from the pan from the water heater.
First, I tried to call the contractor. Nobody answered the phone. I called back to Home Shield, and he looked at what was done. He said, “They've completed that service.” I said, “They can say what they want to, but I still have a water leak in my water heater.” And the rep said, “Are you disputing that?” I said, “Yeah. I still got a leak in my water heater, still, now.” He said, “Let me get you a second opinion.” And they sent out somebody else. That guy, Joe, came out here Monday morning. That was as soon as they could get me in.
I told him what the first contractor told me, and he checked the PVC pipe from the release valve. That was bone-dry. What he had pointed out was if our heater gets above 120, it’ll release the water to take the pressure off. He said, “The street valve is in line.” He pointed to a brass fitting. “And so, that’s your street pressure, water coming from the street, that that stops that, and that has to be on there.” So, the person that AHS sent out first didn't know what he was talking about. After looking at it he pulled the washer out, which the other guy never did. And he said, “Yeah, you got a problem.” And he went to the bottom element and pulled the face off of it, and it was wet as a devil. So, he said, “You got a busted tank.”
After that Joe wrote up to AHS that I need a new tank. And we probably won’t get the tank till either Wednesday or Thursday, but if it comes in Friday, we won’t be able to put it in till Monday. But I said, “Fine.” About two hours later, someone from American Home Shield called me, told me they had got his report and that they were replacing the tank. The only thing they said that was all me with it was the pan. We need to replace the pan also. And they said, “That’s $35 and we don’t cover pans.” I don’t have a problem with that. I’m happy now. AHS listened to me when I called them back and said I needed someone else to come out here. They sent me somebody and they sent someone who’s been doing it for 13 years and knew what he was looking for.
And I didn't dislike Thomas, the first contractor. I just realized that he had made a bad diagnosis. It’s just like doctors. Sometimes you get a good one, and sometimes you get one not so good. And I can’t fault American Home Shield. They told me it’s completed. You have to suck it up. Another story and I would've probably been cancelling. But American Home Shield worked with me when I asked for a second opinion, because I told them, “You’ll just send that same company back out.” And the rep said, “No. I wanna give you a completely separate company.” That was his idea. Not mine. And so, I’m happy with American Home Shield.

I did one claim with American Home Shield online and another one over the phone. I had a very frustrating experience with the woman I talked with because she couldn’t understand me. I had my policy sitting in front of me and she told me that I didn’t have coverage for my dishwasher when I was looking right at it and seeing that I did have coverage. My experience with her was very negative. I couldn’t understand her because of her thick accent.
There were two guys who came out. One came to look at the dishwasher and another took a look at the ceiling fan. The guy that came to look at the dishwasher seemed to do a good job. The dishwasher is no longer plugged, although I haven’t run it yet because I’ve just had one catastrophe after another over here. I’m just getting ready to run it to know if it drains properly. But he was very courteous and he left me his card and said, “If there are any problems, let me know.” I liked him. The claim I did over the phone, the guy came over and looked at it and he goes, “Yeah, we’re gonna have to cover that. We cover that,” but I’ve never heard back from him, and it hasn’t been fixed. So, I’m really not very happy. I would really appreciate if someone would follow up with me on the second claim.

Our upstairs air conditioner wasn’t working, and New Phase Comfort and Heating found the problem with the unit. They fixed it and recharged it. They called me, scheduled a time, they were here when they said they would be, and they found the problem and fixed it. They showed up on time, too. I had one thing that I was gonna call about. They charged me to refill the Freon. I know that’s not covered under the warranty. So, I paid that when they did it. But then, I got an email saying that the first $90 was covered by warranty, and I paid the whole thing to them. So, I wanted to see if that was reimbursable.
I submitted my claim online and navigating through American Home Shield's website was simple. I’ve had no bad experience. We had one contractor who didn't show up three times or even call, but when I called American Home Shield, they took care of it. And the people they sent out ended up being really good. All in all, my experience with American Home Shield was positive, professional, and just what I would expect.

When I submitted a claim for the air conditioning unit that was not working, all I did was call American Home Shield then talked about it, and everything else took care of itself. The contractor came, picked it up, and got a new one back. It was a pleasant experience.

My AC just quit working. It was blowing but the fan in the condenser unit wasn’t turning in the unit itself. And Weatherwise was sent by American Home Shield and the contractor did something and it's going now. My experience was awesome. The contractor came out the very next day. I called Weatherwise the next morning myself because American Home Shield said I could call them, and the contractor said if he had time he’d get out here. He did and when he was here, he said he didn't even need to go in the house. I was at work and it was really convenient because my daughter knew the person who was working on it. So far, so good.
I'd prefer Weatherwise any time I call now. There was Network Plumbing & Heating that American Home Shield used too that I really liked. In fact, I even hired them to come and do maintenance on my AC and my furnace every year because I trust them. I've had people come in and tell me, “Oh, this is wrong, that is wrong,” and then I called American Home Shield and they sent somebody out for free, and it was Network Plumbing and Heating who said, “There's nothing wrong with this.” I need to find companies I can trust.

I have used this company for two years and reluctantly signed up for the second year this March. Being an experienced Realtor, I know how this game works for all such companies: contract with mediocre local vendors who do poor work and need to come back twice for double fees of 75.00 and when something truly goes wrong and replacement is needed it is in "process: in our case for 28 days without a washer. Cancellation took me to Indonesia 3x with no help and scripting, then by accident I pressed the wrong button on the main line and got US offices. They will not refund the remaining policy for 8 months and want to charge me 70.00 to cancel! Unbelievably poor service on all fronts. Stay away.

The customer service and the customer service of the companies that services AHS is horrible. When you have an issue you will be on hold forever and seems like they just read from a script and never answer your questions. I have had 4 services calls which two different technicians that didn't show, don't follow up and don’t know how to fix your issue. Then when you call AHS their only answer is, “We will set up another appointment with another service provider.” Going on 4 weeks with our air condition and $300+ out of pocket. I also am a realtor and I will going forward recommend my clients to put the $35.00 in a savings account versus paying the monthly fees, service charge and the items they don't cover. Might as well save your money yourself and pay when something breaks and save your sanity. Not worth the time and money you have to spend with these guys.

I have personally seen companies not honoring contract in other countries but this has been my first experience in US which is my home for the last decade or so. AHS need to do a bit more to understand the definition of customer service. I happened to take the 3X3 Combo plan on Jun 03rd and in a month had an issue with my A/C Cooling. Thankfully AHS send a contractor within a day or so, which gave me a good impression of their service. What happened after that, altered my impression from a company like AHS. The Contractor: AC Wizard comes & without doing a proper test fills 3 pounds of Freon telling that it is very during Summer (AHS takes $100 Service which is as per contract, so no issues).
2 weeks later A/C in the same state and this time he does Nitrogen test (Does it Free as it was related to the same Service, so was happy about it) and detects leak in my Evaporator coil. He informs that they will replace the Evaporator coil in 3 days. 4 days later when I do not get call from the Contractor or AHS, I call up AHS Customer Support and get the information that Evaporator coil is not covered in Contract (do keep in mind that there is no mention of coil being excluded in the Contract ) and tells a Contract clause which does not make sense to anyone who understands English. I felt sorry for the Customer Support lady who was still very composed even though I asked her all this. The next statement from the Customer Support was that Technician put information that the Evaporator Coil was leaking (Water) and it was NORMAL WEAR & TEAR.
My House was constructed in 2015 Oct. Considering that I have no idea on Evaporator coil, I did a quick good search and see that it is clearly mentioned that Coils will stay for 10-15 yrs. The Customer Support Executive informs me that I have to pay $1500 out of my pocket and when I raised concern, gave the suggestion to go for Cash-In-Lieu option informing that it would be better option for me and that it will result in my total Out of Pocket being less than $1500 (this did not make sense to me but I just listened). She advised to call Customer support the next day (i.e. today) and then have them route the call to Cash-In-Lieu Dept. Keeping with her advice, I called up Customer Support and they tell me that Cash-In-Lieu will call me and that I do not need to call. They informed that it will take another 48 hrs. to 72 hrs. for Cash-In-Lieu to call me.
Meanwhile I get a call from AC Wizard Office Manager, Dallas to check if I am proceeding with the Evaporator Coil changing and she discouraged me from Cash-In-Lieu telling that if I go for it, I may get only about $300-400 and that my Out of Pocket will go up from $1500 to $2300. Everyone in this equation knows that my Evaporator Coil is under Manufacturer warranty, which makes it more concerning & for a normal person like me it looks nothing but a Ripoff. Now I am into my 3rd week after first reporting the A/C Cooling issue and with 2 small kids, I do not have an option to wait any longer. So I am forced to go to another A/C Contractor to get it fixed by paying upfront not knowing whether I will get anything from AHS or not. But do understand not many would be able to take such a step easily.
You made me lose confidence in AHS and in turn lost a person who could have been a loyal customer contributing to your growth by promoting it to friends. My general advise to those reading this and who can afford fixes < $10000 it is not worth going for Home Warranty and have a terrifying experience later when a claim arises. I learned from my mistake. Hope you do not make that mistake. Please take the criticism constructively to be better than others in your field!!

My AC stopped working in the middle of summer in Arizona. I put in a service request online. When the service tech arrived, 2 days later and 3 hours later, he said he was not licensed to work on my ac because it was a condo complex with 4 units in one building. He needs to be commercial licensed. I called AHS and they said they would put in a new request with a commercially licensed tech. Next day, there is no service request logged. I called and went through it all again... Next day, no service request logged. It had been canceled because the tech did not have a ladder tall enough. No one contacted me to let me know this.
The customer service is lousy. I requested a manager several times, with no answer. The system to place a service request is inadequate. They should have know to Send a commercially licensed tech. The customer service reps sound like they are in another country. How can a company called AMERICAN Home Shield outsource to another country. The whole experience has been extremely frustrating and I'm not likely to renew...they don't seem to be interested in helping me at all. I should at least get my fee back. I was on hold so long waiting for an answer about refunding my fee, that I hung up. Every time I've called, I've been put on hold for long periods of time. I'm done.

American Home Shield was recommended to us and we wish we had done more research. Recently our hot water heater had to be replaced. We went through the process of calling American Home Shield and they informed us that we could either use one of the companies that they contract or we could find someone ourselves and they would reimburse us no more than $397.50. THIS IS A TRICK! Since we decided to find a company on our own to replace our hot water heater, we are now having to fight to be reimbursed. They have rejected our invoice of $900 and their reasoning is because the person we hired is not with a company. He is licensed/register plumber that is a one-man shop and doesn't have a fancy name to put on their invoice. DO NOT GET AMERICAN HOME SHIELD FOR YOUR HOME WARRANTY!! THEIR SERVICE IS INEFFICIENT!!!!

BEWARE! If you are buying a home, never buy the extended warranty!!! We got AHS aka American Home Shield. Yes, they will send someone to look at the item, however when/if parts arrive they are not obligated to come out right away and fix it. This isn't the first time that happened to us. First dishwasher, we ended up buying new after 2 weeks and now waiting for them. Faucet, it had arrived here, we had to call someone else and pay out of pocket to install.
Furnace, diagnosed, never came back to fix. AHS you will be on the phone forever and getting nowhere! Washing machine had been broken for 3 weeks now, technician got the part 10 days ago and I still have no appointment. I'll just go ahead and buy a new one at this point. I had spent about 11 hours in phone calls so far. I'm done! DO NOT purchase home warranty for appliances, not worth the trouble, there is no real saving, and at the end of the day, you'll still have an old, might be fixed appliance.

To submit my claims, I call American Home Shield and they’ve got an automated system where I can tell them exactly what’s wrong. And at that point, they send me either a text or a callback saying that so and so will be dispatched to make this repair. And I pay them $75 copay and then the contractors come out. The AHS reps tell me within 24 to 48 hours that I’ll be contacted by a specific contractor. And then usually within 24 hours, I hear from the contractor about what day or time they will be out. Recently, 1 Call Contractors came out to repair a couple of light switches in the house. They were on time, made quick repairs, and were in and out, and I’ve been happy with the service.

I had the the house rekeyed through American Home Shield. The guy they sent was a nice guy. He called me by phone. He was not sure and he called American Home Shield, and they said they were gonna cover it. He was all smiles when he came and he did the locks out. He took care of it and they're all done. There was some stickiness on one of the doors but when he was done, not only were the locks rekeyed, but everything just works smoother and better.
However, sometimes there's confusion between the vendors and the companies in what American Home Shield covers. But I just shrug my shoulders, talk to them and figure it out. What makes American Home Shield is I don't pay them any more money when their contractors come. If it's covered, it's covered. If it's not, it's not. I did have an earlier claim on the garage. Some things aren't covered and I thought I'd check the file to see. I had to do something and it came out of pocket but I didn't get too upset on that one because well, some things aren't covered.

The air conditioner was having problems. The guy that came out was nice and fixed it except it would still randomly have the problem. The lady in the office of the contractor company called me and was trying to schedule an appointment on a Thursday. I was off on Friday by chance. I told her that it was okay if the tech couldn't come on a Friday. She wanted to schedule the next Monday. I said that I have to go back to work and that I work out of town. I asked to do it on the 29th and she couldn't. She had the whole week ago with the schedule. She was super rude the whole time. In the end, I told her that my schedule doesn’t fit theirs. I asked her name and why she was so rude. She said a bad word and hang up on me. I didn’t know if she was having a bad day or what, but I thought that was a little bit extreme.
I called American Home Shield and told them to make sure to mark on that contractor never to send to my house again and to find somebody else. At first, they said that it's their contractor for years. I told them if that's the only one they can use, I’m gonna cancel and get another home warranty that can use somebody else, and they figured it out.

I was supposed to hear from BestWay Mechanical last week because when the guy came in to check, he needed to come back another time to repair the issue but I haven’t received a call. We thought it was the water heater, but we're glad it wasn't because we got it with American Home Shield just a few years ago. There was condensation coming from the AC unit, and the really awesome staff person, Mike, came by and then checked to see why it was still leaking after we were sure it was good to go. He saw that a part of it was frozen. So, it would be best to turn it off temporarily for that to melt. That was the cause of the issue and he said that the best way was to come back in again to go ahead and repair that issue. Since it has been a little while, I probably need to call him myself. I was gonna call AHS or the contractor as well so they can come back out and get that situated.
I appreciate AHS. They are all very helpful and always very willing to help. Even when some of the times, I had issues with getting in touch with their repair company, they were able to step in and make the calls themselves.

Also, there aren't enough options to describe what my problem actually is. When the technician from Allstate Plumbing called, I had to let them know what the problem and describe it to them rather than the American Home Shield website.
Allstate's techs did a very good job. They were very professional on the way they handled things. I was requesting them if they could do the job a little sooner, and they did. However, once they completed the job, they had to clean where the water is and where the water has gone right under the sink. I had to explicitly ask them to do that. If they could have done that all by themselves, then it would have been good. Despite that, I'm satisfied and happy with American Home Shield.

American Home Shield's online claims submission process is so simple and I like it. And the contractor came within two days. It was a short turnaround. My husband was really pleased with the technician who came out. We needed an additional part and he did really well because he said it would be two to three days, and that was what it was. Unfortunately the appliance still is not working. So they’re gonna replace it for us. I’ve had to require the service of AHS a few times, and each time, I’ve been very satisfied.

My experience with AHS has been very good so far. We had some air conditioner issues. They ordered the wrong part and then they put it in and then they said, “Oh, that one is too light for the air conditioning unit.” So they had ordered a bigger part, the heavy-duty part which is the type that came out of it.

American Home Shield sent out Westaire for my air conditioner. Their guy diagnosed the issue and had to come out two times. The first time he came out, he said the AC needed Freon so he put Freon in. It worked for about three weeks. But all of a sudden, the AC started throwing hot air again and the motor started making a loud fuzzy noise. I called American Home Shield and they assigned another company, A&E. I thought that wasn't right because the first company that came out should be the one responsible for it. I called American Home Shield and they said I was right about that.
But A&E still came. They diagnosed the AC and replaced the motor. It has been a couple of weeks and the AC has been working fine. I then got a notice that I was gonna be billed for another $100 for the service charge. I called American Home Shield and talked with them. After some long discussions, they decided that they were correct with what they told me before that the service charge of $100 should have been covered under the first visit.
I've had other claims with American Home Shield. There were some times that they were good and there were some times when it was a real fight to get them to do the service. But it's not American Home Shield’s problem. It’s the vendors that they ship these things out to. There was one company that would never return my call. I called American Home Shield and they tried contracting them. I was on hold. When the rep came back on, she said the vendor wouldn't answer her call either. We ended up transferring the service request to another vendor. Other than that, I’ve recommended American Home Shield to friends. I talked about the good experiences and I told them about the bad ones too.

It’s pretty easy to make a claim with American Home Shield. But I think because of the time of year that we’re at, with a lot of heat going on, there are a lot of appliances that are not working so it took the contractor a while to get out when the refrigerator quit running. American Home Shield got somebody out within three days which was good but he was unable to repair it. It was gonna need a new compressor so he went back and told whoever that someone else needed to come out. That took several weeks. From the time that we made the claim to the time that we actually got it fixed, it was a total of five weeks. We lost $400 worth of food.
But both of the technicians that came out were very friendly and pleasant to deal with. We made a claim on an air conditioner compressor problem not too long ago, and then this claim came along. There was never a hint of a problem with the fact that we were putting in too many claims and I found that good. By far, even with the waiting period, our experience with American Home Shield beats the overall expense of trying to take care of these things on your own.

My air conditioner wasn’t blowing air at all and when I submitted a claim with AHS, it went perfectly fine. I did it online and the process was pretty simple, quick and very comprehensive. The website was straightforward, too. The technicians found out there was a variable speed motor that had gone out and there was a part that they needed to get for me. It took a bit longer to get because we didn’t have that part in-state, so the technicians had to wait for the part to arrive. But other than that, it was flawless. They were very prompt to ensure that they follow through with the repair as soon as they got the part. And the repair was really quick. It only took about 20 minutes to a half hour and everything’s working fine until now. All in all, AHS provides a great service and I’m gonna purchase another warranty for next year, as soon as this one expires.

If I have a heating and air conditioning problem and I submit a claim with AHS, I'd prefer Quality Air HVAC Trust because they have been here on more than one occasion to handle my furnace and air conditioning situation. I became aware of them. Recently, I had a landscaper landscape my hedges and he clipped my Freon line to my compressor outside. It was 90 something degrees outside and this landscaper through his insurance, brought out his guy to work on the AC. But what he tried to do didn't work. In fact, I had about four people come out and try to fix the AC issue before I decided to call American Home Shield.
They sent me Quality Air and their techs identified the problem. They solved it and and I was satisfied.

I even tried to run the washer again to drain some of the water that was in there because I have a front loader and I had that option on the display as well. But then I went ahead and called American Home Shield. Because my daughter had some surgery and is here for a few weeks, I had to get whatever problems that might be taken care of done.

I called American Home Shield for my AC and got a representative. They set everything up, gave me a work order number and we went from there. I requested who I wanted for the repair because I had a problem with the other contractor they have that didn’t come out. They had to work on getting me the one that I requested that had come out before. They got the contractor to come out and he did a good job. He repaired everything while he was here when he said he would be here.
The one before the last work order, there were two different contractors. We have two AC units, one upstairs and one downstairs. One contractor was supposed to do the air duct upstairs ‘cause there was no air coming out and the other contractor was supposed to repair the AC system downstairs. But what happened was the contractor that was supposed to come for the AC unit downstairs never called back and never showed up.
When the contractor for the air duct came, he said since he was here, he would call and have them give him the work order and he would take everything. So, one contractor did another contractor’s repair work. He came back this last time, but when he did his return, he found that there was a leak so I had to pay for the Freon even though it was leaking and that was to keep it until they could order the parts. He just came this last time, replaced the parts and put the Freon in. Overall, American Home Shield is responsive and they did a nice job.

If you have run of the mill problems, they are fine, as long as you do not have to call or have any kind of problem. I have geothermal heating/cooling and they have no clue what to do. They don't even have a selection for it. Every time I place a service request, their contractor comes and says they don't service it. Then it is a fight to get them to cover the contractor that is certified to do it. This latest service need they said from the start there was no one to service it and I could proceed with my own contractor. Then 2 days later they assigned someone anyway, AFTER I had service and paid for a part replacement. It is 100 degrees right now, I could not make my family and animals wait.
So, I called and talked to another rep to whom I explained the issue. She said the first person told me the wrong thing, NOT my problem. I was told I needed to be transferred to "escalation". I was on hold for over a half hour!!!! Now it is being referred to a supervisor for investigation and if the first rep confirms my story, I might get reimbursed.
The overall worst part is that AHS's customer service is outside the US I am in no way prejudice, but it is obvious that English is their second language which causes miscommunication.

Simple: Requested service from AHS for A/C issue. They selected service TECH and charged me for service call and evaluation. TECH never followed up with them, or with me. I spent 2 weeks (TWO WEEKS) waiting in the SOUTHERN HEAT and decided to finally replace the unit. I followed up with AHS who said they would make a payment in lieu for the service that could have/should have been done; however, they needed the paperwork from their selected technician to determine the amount. TO BE FAIR: THEY HAD DONE SO THE PREVIOUS YEAR WITH MY SECOND A/C UNIT.
Now, months later, and several calls and hours on the phone - they still don't have the report from the service tech that THEY SELECTED. Accordingly, they claim not to know how much to compensate. Two days ago, I called and they agreed that since no report had been filed, they would have to estimate a payment in lieu amount and call back in 48 hours. I did so today, and AGAIN - I get the answer that we are waiting on the report from the service TECH! This is a SCAM to see who can wait out the other. Disgusting. If all calls are really recorded, as they say on the many I have been on, they would do well to listen and learn how NOT to provide support. Really, a shame.

The person on the phone blamed me because I had asked for a closer date. Then they offered to have me find my own contractor. Come to find out they have a terrible reputation of not paying claims and leaving contractors on hold they wouldn’t do business with them. I paid out of pocket, got it fixed same day, and cancelled my contract with AHS. Unless you have a problem that can wait several days, this doesn’t work, they won’t call anyone outside who they contract with and that appears to be only a handful in our area.

I've been with AHS for over 15 years now and I never had any problems. Recently, I had a refrigerator that wasn't staying cold and after a couple of days, I submitted a claim with AHS online. Within 24 hours, AllHome Appliances came out and my experience with them was pretty good. The guy knew what he was talking about, went back to work, and got it fixed. We're happy with the repair and so far, everything is still working correctly.

Everything in the garage is connected to one GFI outlet. The thing shorted out and our freezer went out. We thought it might have been the freezer, but it wasn’t because when I plugged it in to some place in the house, the freezer worked. I called American Home Shield and told them I needed to have somebody come out because it was an emergency. This was on a Friday and they said somebody would be out there next week. But I couldn't wait until then. We had hundreds of dollars of food in the freezer. I was disappointed with American Home Shield. I haven’t had any problem with them in the past, but I was dissatisfied in this particular instance. I didn’t know if it was the freezer or not. They said that the outside freezers aren't covered under the contract. But I need to have somebody to come out and fix it.
I got the name of the guy that was supposed to come. I called him and he said he would be right out in half an hour. The nice part was it was the day after the 4th of July and they were closed, but a guy came out anyway because he was worried about our freezer. We could lose all the food there. It turned out it was not the freezer but the GFI outlet so he replaced the outlet in the garage. It took him probably about 10 seconds.

Our air conditioning had gone out, and I requested service on that. I did my claim with American Home Shield over the phone. Initially, it was an automated request. And then I had a chance to speak with a representative once I did not get a response from the initial company that they recommended. And so, that was a good interaction. They were able to identify someone, an alternative, and that was who came out.
When the contractor came out, I shared with him what the issue was. He went out and started doing his work. We didn’t have a whole lot of interaction other than that, until he was done. And then he provided an overview of what he did, and he was able to resolve the issue. I was very pleased with not only him contacting me, letting me know that he was in route, when he was expected to come, but also what repairs he had to do, and making some other suggestions as well to get it resolved.

He diagnosed the issue, said he had to call American Home Shield for approval then he called me back to tell me that the request to put in a new water heater was approved. They would get the new one and they would be able to install it three days later. The plumber was Ike and he was a tremendous guy who did a really nice job. I’ve had American Home Shield for years.

We had a problem with the air conditioner. It was running but no cold air was coming out. We did a claim with American Home Shield through a computer on the phone. We called on a Friday. So because of the weekend, A1 Mitchell’s Heating and Cooling didn’t get out until the following Monday. American Home Shield gave us A1 Mitchell and we called that same Friday to see if they could come out over the weekend, but they were already booked.
When they came out, they had to come back in four days after they injected it to see where it was leaking. And then when they came back out, then they realized which parts were needed to be replaced. So they had to order the part and it was on back-order. They came back out a week later. Then when they put the new part in, something else went on it. So they had to order those parts and come back. So it was about three weeks before they got it running, but now it runs great. Other than this one time where it took that long to get all the parts, we’ve always had the contractors to come out. They either fixed the issue the same day or within a couple of days. If we get another house, we’re gonna definitely keep going with American Home Shield.

I just moved into the house and I needed rekeying. I submitted a claim with AHS then R&R Rekey & Locksmithing came out. They were great but some of the locks were not rekeyed because they weren’t rekeyable. So, I ended up paying more than I thought I would pay. I thought I was gonna pay $75 to have everything rekeyed but since there were some that were not rekeyable, the work that was done on them was not covered. It seemed to me like that should have been covered, but apparently, it wasn’t. Other than that, the locksmith company came ahead, did all the locks, and they were amazing. In fact, their tech had to come up with a couple of innovative solutions and he worked with his distributor or somebody at his company to get some additional parts for me. And he definitely went the extra mile.
Aside from that claim, I’ve also used my AHS warranty a couple of times. I had a wobbly toilet where there was a disintegrating wax ring, so they had a plumber come out and take care of that. Then I had a garbage disposal issue and I also used the warranty on that. I also used AHS when I had a house in Dallas and I was happy with them. Whenever I have a claim, the techs get out either the same day or next day, and the problems get taken care of. So, I’m gonna continue after the first year. I feel good having a home warranty, too.

My AC unit went out right in the middle of a heat wave. So, we put in a claim with American Home Shield, and it was Affordable AC Company who came out. And the guy weighted my situation and determined that it was the blower motor issue inside the AC unit. So, they ordered the control board that controls motors. And when they got that, they brought it back out to install it. But when they did, it wasn’t blowing like it should, and it was not even close to what it used to. So, it took them a week and a half to figure that out. And this is like 15 days at this point in the heat wave that we were going through because we had to also put in a new work order when they had that issue to get them back out here to figure out what was going on.
So, they had called the manufacturer and figured it out. He told me that it was kind of an ordeal with them and the manufacturer, trying to figure out exactly what was going on because the manufacturer said, “No, we programmed that for that unit.” And then, he said, “Well, it’s not working.” So, then, he asked the manufacturer some questions. And it was determined in conclusion that what had happened, he came back out to fix it. And it was determined that the previous folks that installed this unit had reversed the wheelhouse in there on the motor. And it was not done by specification. They also had installed some other part that’s not a certified Trane part as well, which was odd.
The guy from Affordable AC brought the blower motor in the cage and all the parts to fix it to see if that was it. Sure enough, it was. And he resolved it and got it going. And I’ve never heard that machine or the AC unit blow as hard as it does now. So, it’s a lot better. I’m hoping that it helps with my electricity bill that I’ve been having to deal with for the last 15 years.
The service worked out for us. The part of the process in dealing with that particular issue worked as best as it probably could have worked. It’s just AC’s in demand, especially in the middle of heat waves, and everybody's busy trying to fix other AC units. Those guys were working from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Every time he came here during the evenings, he was having to go to another call after me. And that was gonna take him until about 10:00 PM to fix those issues. So, it is part of the deal. But I’m very pleased with the outcome in my situation. For what they had to encounter, the unknown, someone actually installing the unit incorrectly, to begin with, and then fixing that was awesome to me. It’s how it worked out, so I would give that company a 10.
And as far as working with the claim with American Home Shield, it was spot on. I really loved that tracker. That helped me stay calm because I was actually going, “Where the hell is this dude?” It was like 110 degrees. I had to go out and buy a window AC unit to help with that. But we at least survived it. It was not the worst case scenario I’ve heard from other friends. So, it all went well. I have recommended American Home Shield to a bunch of people.

I called American Home Shield regarding air conditioning two weeks ago. There was a language barrier with the rep that I talked to and I had to speak to a supervisor so I could make myself clear. The supervisor was good and had Platinum out the next day. Platinum didn't really do anything. When I saw water leaking and I asked for them to come back, they said they would not be able to be back for eight days. I called American Home Shield and then ended up speaking to a supervisor who I was told would work on it. I got a text from American Home Shield indicating Platinum would be in touch with me in 24 hours sometime last week and Platinum didn't call until Monday. At that point, I spoke to the American Home Shield rep and they got a different person out.
In the meantime, the supervisor that I spoke to last week sent a plumber out because there was a water issue. When the plumber came out, he said it was an air conditioning problem so he wasn't able to do anything. He would send a water eradication guy and said he would call the supervisor to let her know that it was an air conditioning issue and not plumbing. The water eradication guy came out and said he can't do anything unless he removed the unit and that was all last week. I did not hear back from the supervisor. When I spoke to the rep yesterday, Platinum was scheduled to come today but I said that I don't have much faith in their ability so she was able to find Superior. Superior came out this morning. The rep said she canceled Platinum. I got a phone call and I confirmed that I was canceling Platinum. Platinum showed up also this morning so I told Platinum they weren't needed.
The Superior air conditioning guy did a lot of work. He looked at different things. He flushed out a line and looked at the filters. That all seemed good. Then when I went out to the garage, I'm having the same flooding issue. The water is seeping from under the wall into the garage and I can see it's going all along the built-in shelves which are made out of wood. It's not hurting the garage floor, but my biggest concern is that there is mold in there because the unit is in a box effectively. It's a niche in the wall. The board on the bottom that this unit sits on is soaked, but the water is coming from underneath, which tells me this board is totally soaked too, and this has now been going on for over a week. I called Superior back and I'm waiting for them to contact me.

Overall, I had an awesome experience with AHS. They have taken care of me every time I've used them.

I submitted a claim online to American Home Shield for electrical work and they got back to me in a few hours. The contractor and I were going back and forth between them actually answering the phone. But when we finally got in contact with each other, he asked what the issue was and provided me with a date and a time. When he came to my home, he was very polite, professional and very informative. Since the repair, everything is working just the way it should.
Good morning Priscilla,
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 replaced a request for service to a cooktop where the Glass top split. I asked before scheduling if a crack in the glass top would be covered because I didn’t want to pay a service charge for nothing. The appliance was still working and I was unsure they would cover the split glass. The glass split while cleaning the top. Nothing was dropped on it, which is what the contracted party claimed as their diagnosis. I’m upset because #1, that is not what happened. #2 I wouldn’t have wasted my money-which is why I checked to see if it would be covered before paying the service fee. I think AHS should pay for a second opinion or refund my service charge. I’ve used them on several other things and not had problems like I did today.

Updated on 08/05/2019: So again, there is no solution and I wasted my time calling you guys because now they are saying I have to have my problem transferred to the Appliance department because the plumber said it’s not a plumbing or water issue. It’s something wrong with the dishwasher. 5 technicians already! Time wasted off work! Because you guys can’t just replace my dishwasher and keep sending technicians! The spot that you see that is cleaned is to show that the residue always reappears even after cleaning the inside of the tub. Again I have pictures to prove that there has been no solution and they are just transferring things back and forth wasting my valuable time from work and getting paid.
Original review: This is by far one of the worst experiences ever! 4 dishwasher techs cant figure out what the issue. The last tech is referring the issue to a plumber. I've been on hold several times for hours, many times! They say a supervisor will call me back and that never happens, and if I do talk to a supervisor the hold time is over an hour or the rep does whatever they can to not send it to a supervisor. The two times I did talk to a supervisor they offered no solution but to send another tech over!!
Patricia,
I am sorry to hear that AHS has not provided a suitable resolution at this time. Thanks for allowing me to look into this for you.

I put a claim into AHS on 7/17/19. They gave me a company that was out of business. I called AHS on 7/18/19 and they gave me another company and they came out on 7/22/19 and told me that I need an evaporator coil and freon. Then the company called AHS and told them that I needed more than that and AHS denied the claim. I called AHS on 7/22/19 and requested an itemized list on the things that were needed and as of today 7/31/19 I have not received this list and I call every day and they keep telling me that someone would get back to me. And nobody gets back to me. What should I do?

American Home Shield does not have look out for the best interest of their customers. They care more about their warranty repair companies charging you unnecessary out of pocket expenses. I will not be renewing my policy!

I was satisfied that the situation was resolved and that the appliance was repaired.
Original Review: July 31, 2019
Updated on 12/31/2019: Our oven stopped working on Friday the 20th of December. Somewhat inconvenient timing with family coming to town for the holidays. Due to past experiences we know that the company they put in a service request to has 24-48 hours to contact us to set up an appointment. Since our request was put in Friday evening, that basically meant end of day on Christmas Eve. So I talked to American Home Shield and informed them of the situation, with family coming in from out of town to have Christmas at our house. They left a message with the company to have them set up the appointment ASAP.
On Tuesday afternoon I called the company wondering why I hadn't heard from them. They informed me that we were out of their service area and that they had already returned the service request to American Home Shield. When I called American Home Shield to find out what was going on, they confirmed that the company had returned the service request to them. When I asked them who the new company was that they had forwarded the request to, they had not forwarded the service request to anyone, nor contacted me about this. This left us without even a phone call from anyone for 4 days, and without an oven the day before Christmas.
They tried to remedy the situation by calling out to different companies trying to get someone out to see us. The earliest appointment was scheduled for Friday the 27th. The tech came out, confirmed that a fuse had blown for our oven (same problem we had three months ago which took a month to get repaired), ordered the fuse and scheduled a follow up appointment to replace the fuse. The earliest appointment available was for Monday January 6th. That's 17 days without an oven (assuming it gets repaired on that date).
For a family that cooks all of our meals at home, this is painfully inconvenient and not at all what I expect out of any company. If I had not paid for a year worth of coverage with American Home Shield, I would not be using their services and am bewildered as to why I'm paying the service fees for such an absence of service. This is the second time we have had to use our home warranty through American Home Shield, for the exact same issue, and they have proved to us for the second time, that they do not deserve to have us as customers.
Original Review: I put in a service request for an oven that won't heat up on Friday July 26th in the morning. I was told that the company they contracted had until Monday close of business to contact me to schedule an appointment and that if they weren't able to get out by Tuesday, I should call American Home Shield to get a different contractor out there sooner. I never received a call from that company who claimed AHS had given them my number incorrectly, so they told me to wait another 24 hours now that they had the correct phone number. Still received no call.
So the next day I called AHS who assigned me a new contractor. I received a call from that company the next morning who informed me that they wouldn't be able to get out to me any time that week and that they were putting in a request to change vendors. I called back to AHS who said they would call all of their vendors to see who could get out to me soonest. The soonest appointment they could get for me was for August 5th, 10 days after I submitted my request for service. A ten day response to a service request to me is completely unreasonable and AHS has done nothing to improve the situation for me.
Good Morning Taylor,
Thank you for partnering with me to reach a resolution on this matter. It was my pleasure assisting you and thank you for being the best part of American Home Shield!

I placed a service call for my very noisy refrigerator. My first company never came out to look at my appliance and so I had to call back in and sit on hold to get another company assigned. Once a new company was assigned and they came to my house I made them aware of noises it was making. They told me that the compressor and ice maker would need replaced and are going to die soon.
The appliance is still in working order, but the noises are irritating. I had to unplug my ice maker. It is so loud. AHS denied my request for replacements because the parts are not mechanically failed. AHS would rather my refrigerator go down and ruin all my food before fixing my issue. I have called on several occasions wasting a lot of my time and no one will help me. I found it very ridiculous that this company would do this. I would give them negative stars if I could.

Don’t go with this company. Wasted a lot of my time trying to get back money they owed me. They will just give you the runaround and hope you go away. They basically stole my money and won’t return my call to let me know when I can expect it refunded.

I reported a water heater leak issue on July 22, 2019. After (3)30 minutes calls and (1) no call, no show from one of their contractors, 5 days later(July 27, 2019) they were finally able to get someone to come over to get check the water heater. During the visit, the contractor told me that they needed to replace the water heater which it was no big deal since it's covered under the warranty and they told me that AHS would be contacting me within 24 hours. 24 hours went by and no call from AHS.
On July 30, 2019, I decided to call the contractor to get an update on the service request and I was told that they were waiting on AHS to contact me to inform me that there will be a $525 fee to replace water heater. I was kind of surprised about the $525 fee, specially since a water heater was covered under the warranty and a water heater replacement cost average about $800 in the area. So, I decided to call AHS to get a confirmation on the fee. After spending almost 2.5 hours on the phone with them they were able confirm that there was a fee but nobody could really explain what was the fee for when the water heater is covered by the warranty.
Long story short, 9 days later the water heater still not replaced. And if they ever replaced it will cost me $699.99 (monthly fee: $49.99 Call service Fee: $125 Contractor service fee: $525) plus the 4.5 hours spent on the phone and 9 days of ice cold showers. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company unless you're ready for a pointless and stressful ride.

One time, when I turned my air conditioning unit on, it was blowing warm air. I submitted a claim to American Home Shield and their reps told me within 48 hours, I would be contacted by a contractor. Bennett Heat & Air Electrical came out and checked what they needed to check. They asked me what the problem was and they told me after they got through that I shouldn't have any more problems with my unit. Since then, everything has been operating fine and I was satisfied. Overall, I had a good experience with AHS.

I've never had any problem with American Home Shield and I recommended them to somebody last night. Filing a claim with them is easy and they get someone out as soon as possible. I've been dealing with Universal Appliances for a while now. All of a sudden, after all of these years, everything wanna break at one time. The guy from Universal Appliances had tried to fix the microwave once but the fan still isn't working and it doesn't always get stuff hot. It works when it wants to.
The guy did the best he could 'cause he was working on the washer and the microwave at that time. The washer eventually had to be replaced. But the microwave, he's still working on now. I'm waiting for him to get the parts he needs and come back. When the air conditioner went out Sunday before last, the next evening, the man was out here to fix it. The only thing I didn't like about that is the refrigerated stuff is so high. American Home Shield only paid $10 for it and it's $110 a pound. I needed six and a half pounds. By the grace of god, I had that money.
