Not the first time, but I will only address the latest disappointment. We have the service on our rental condo, protecting most everything including the air conditioner. Our tenants notified us of a problem with the air conditioning, we called AHS and were told we would hear from a contractor within 24 hours. No response. With 100 degree plus days it is important for a quick response. We called again and were told it wasn’t scheduled yet, it was as if they forgot. With multiple days above 100 our tenant had to find another place to stay, then found a contractor to fix it for $350. We paid that, but wonder why do we pay AHS?
Good afternoon Randall,
Your concerns are understood regarding the delay in service experienced to have the air conditioner repaired. I would be glad to speak with you and get the issues resolved.

The water flow from my faucet wasn't coming full strength. I submitted a claim to American Home Shield online and Raby Plumbing came out. Their tech was very professional and friendly. He explained everything that he was doing and it didn’t take him long to fix the problem at all. Thus far, everything has been working fine. I'd recommend AHS.

We had an air conditioning issue with the furnace up in the attic. The condenser line had torqued off there and it filled up the pan, which didn't drain properly and it leaked under the ceiling. So, the air conditioning needed the condenser line hooked back up and the pan done right. We submitted a request with American Home Shield and they sent John Hudgins Plumbing. But there was miscommunication because we got a call after the contractor got out here. He said that the unit needed to be moved and it was gonna be a $2,700 charge. And so, AHS denied him. So, we called back and when AHS called us, they said that there was a foundation that somehow shifted. We just bought this house. My structural engineer was just here six months ago and didn't say anything about the structural foundation moving so we knew that wasn't going on. Once we figured that out, the reps were really rude on the telephone.
A lot of the communication problem was due to the Indian accent that everybody seemed to have. It was very difficult to understand and they couldn't understand us very well too. We got hung up on two or three times while put on hold when we were just asking to speak to a supervisor. They did not want us to speak to a supervisor but once we did, after an hour of work, the supervisor was awesome. He took care of everything. He said, “We’ll get a second estimate out there. We’ll get a guy out there to fix that air conditioning unit so it’s back running and you guys don't have to sleep on your couch anymore downstairs". He set up something with Holley Air Conditioning Company and they came out. The service guy hooked the condenser line, glued it back on there, fixed the pan and we were good to go. They fixed everything to where it's running now. Also, the second bill is much more reasonable and AHS will take care of it.
But we don't like dealing with people who feel like they need to lie, especially when they lie to our face and we know it’s a lie. It’s irritating and it’s bad ethics. I would not recommend AHS to anybody at all and I hope we never have to deal with it again. I’ll be glad when my $470 I paid for the year is up. But big props to their supervisor, I appreciated him. He deserves a raise.

Our air conditioner wasn’t cooling so I called American Home Shield. Once we talked to someone on the phone, it seemed like within minutes, we had an email confirmation. Then, Pure Air HVAC sent my husband a text message when they would be available to come out. The tech, Frank, came out within the window that he said and he was so kind and so professional. He far exceeded our expectations. It was extremely hot and it was a holiday and he treated it as though it was a normal business time of the year. That was great and, to me, unusual.
The tech dealt directly with my husband the whole entire time. And when he was done, he came inside to where I was in the dining area and explained everything as though I would understand. But the fact that he did, that meant something. My husband liked that because what happens is I always ask him all these questions after the people leave and I never ask them. The air conditioner has been working okay since then. The tech did whatever he was supposed to do and gave us instructions on what to do. I've told so many people about American Home Shield, even before ever using this service. You just gotta have them.

My dryer wasn't working so I called American Home Shield to have someone come out and look at it. I spoke with a rep and that went fine. She was very efficient and I appreciated that. The vendor called me right away the very next day. I didn't have to wait a long time. They were able to come out that very same day so I appreciated that. The contractor was very professional. He looked at the job that he had to do, got to it, and let me know. In about 10 minutes, he was finished with the work. He told me to contact him if there were any problems. He would be glad to come back and take another look. After he left, he called me back to make sure that everything was working fine. Since the repair, everything has been fine. Overall, it was a very good experience and was very professional.

This dishwasher was leaking once we ran a load. I submitted a claim with American Home Shield and Appliance Wizard came out pretty quickly, all things considered with the holiday.

When you flush the toilet, the tank wouldn’t fill up and would just continue running. When I submitted the claim online to American Home Shield, there was no space to give any little details about the problem that I was having. The option was putting plumbing, toilet and you couldn't give a description of the problem. That might be helpful for the vendors to come out. Nevertheless, the contractor came out the next day and he was very professional and quick. He did a good job. Since the repair, the toilet has been working perfectly and I would recommend AHS.

Filing a claim with American Home Shield is fairly easy because you tell them what’s wrong and they’ll email back or call back. They’ll say they can schedule an appointment and usually, it’s within a day or 2. The latest issue was a drain line going to the septic tank. The people who have come out have been very knowledgeable. They know exactly what they’re doing and how to do it. They came in and cleaned it all out. They said I got tree branches there. They showed the damage that was done and they fixed it. Everything has been going pretty well with it.

I had toilet problems and I submitted a claim on the phone to AHS. I had very good interactions with their reps and a tech from Lubbock A-1 Plumbing came out on the same day.

He fixed the problem that I had been having which involved the toilets not flushing properly. But it turned out that if I had a brain, I would’ve fixed the problem myself.

We’ve used American Home Shield several times and everything’s always been smooth. Our washing machine was knocking real bad when it would spin, and I made a claim online for it. Advanced Appliance Services called Sunday morning, and they got out Monday. The contractor called us when he was getting close to us, let us know he’d be here in 20 minutes and he was here in less than that. The fix turned out being something simpler than he thought it was gonna be, and the washer has been much quieter than it was.

The phone call for my recent claim with American Home Shield was a nightmare. I put my credit card in and paid my $75 on their automated thing. But then, I got a human thereafter, and they wanted all my information again. I told the rep that I just gave AHS my information and that I'm not gonna pay them again but then he said that they don't have my payment. It didn’t make any sense to me whatsoever that he wanted it all again so I didn't give it. I ended up calling my American Home Shield rep and he said I would still have to call. So, I ended up giving AHS my credit card number again which I thought was a waste of time.
Still, the contractor who came out thereafter, OKC Appliance King, did well. That time, I had an issue with my four-year-old fridge. It ran out of ice. But then, the problem was actually my error as the water wasn't turned on to the ice maker. It never occurred to me that the ice the first week or two that I was using it was the same ice that was already frozen from before. All the tech had to do was turn the water on and we were good.
This is the first time I’ve ever had a home warranty. As a Realtor, I get asked about home warranties all the time and people wanna use them. I was really hoping my experience would be more positive in making the claim. Maybe it was just a fluke that I had a bad experience trying to make a dang connection, but that’s where the problem was. It was just very frustrating having to deal with that kind of stuff.

My garage door completely stopped working and I submitted a claim with American Home Shield over the phone for the first time. I was gonna do it online but it required payment in advance, so I called the service representative instead. Even though their rep was nice and efficient, it could've been better. I had to go in and get a ladder and tell him the model number of the garage door's motor, which was unnecessary. He wasted off time there.
I also had the same issue when booking for the appointment with Sam's Garage Door. I work from 8:00 to 5:00. I was trying to get an appointment for the service guy to come and check it either early morning or in the afternoon and they were not willing to work. They said it would either be 8:00 to 11:00 or five-hours window. That was a little bit disappointing. Other than that, they do come in. And the guys they sent out did an excellent job. They came in and the repair didn’t take much. And the garage door seems to work fine now. They also said that there was a 60-day guarantee from the time they fixed it and that I could call them if I'd have any problem.

A couple of weeks ago, I called American Home Shield and they sent the Total Air Care people out here for the AC that wasn't blowing cool air. The tech went up there and emptied the pan. We thought that he had fixed it and the unit was blowing a little cool air. But my husband had been monitoring, going up there and emptying the pan. Then, the unit started leaking through my ceiling. That was when I called American Home Shield back and told them. They sent somebody and the tech claimed the pan wasn’t leaking. He took pictures of my ceiling. He was supposed to send it in to American Home Shield and I called back to see if I had missed their call because they said that they were gonna call me. I talked to a really nice gentleman. He understood what I was talking about and he said that they were going to call me. They were supposed to call me and they were gonna call me immediately right after he hung up but I haven’t heard anything yet.
This has been going on for about three weeks now. They came out first and then it took four to five days. Then, it took about four to five days for them to get out the second time. American Home Shield has always been good to help and send somebody out. These were the first people that I ran into that either didn’t know what they were doing or didn’t care. The main thing I’m worried about now is my ceiling because it’s an eyesore. You look up there and you see this old, nasty, brown water where it has leaked through. I expect American Home Shield to do me right this time by making their people fix my ceiling for me.

Instead of just saying what he was going to do, he showed me and I liked that. Then that was what he did. We had to pay some more though.

The air conditioner was working but it wasn’t blowing. I submitted a claim for it with American Home Shield by making a phone call. The claims reps took my complaint and then they sent out a tech from Air Conditioning & Heating Wizards. The guy that I spoke with initially said it’d be like a week for a contractor to come out. And I said, “Well, we have elderly parents in our home that are on oxygen. We really need it done quickly.” And he was able to send somebody out to check it on a Sunday which was only a couple of days. And then, the tech came out and he wasn’t able to fix it that day due to the fact that the part had to be ordered. So, that came in on like a Tuesday and he fixed it that day.
The tech did a great job. He came out as scheduled and found out exactly what the problem was. He wasn’t here very long. And then, he ordered the part and he gave me exact timeframes of when it would come. It came as early as the first time he thought it would come. He came out right away, put it on, and then he left. It was all perfect. Not all my experiences with the warranty company has been like that, but that particular one was really great. American Home Shield exceeded my expectations and the contractor was very professional. I've been pleased with all the work so far and we would not hesitate and have considered renewing for the following year.

The claim processing by American Home Shield was excellent, and the customer service I contacted helped me out right away and gave me the right instructions. But I have some of kind of dissatisfaction with the amount of time to complete the work. I have my water heater broken last week on Thursday evening. This water heater is one of the essential appliances in the home. Our family had to live without hot water for almost one and a half weeks. They said that it would take almost one week to satisfy our installation and replacement of the whole water heater. If I go with the contractor, it will take one week. If I go with their brand, it will take one day. It was a big difference. For their brand, I had to pay out of pocket for $11,090 or something like that. I opted to go with the contractor and they fixed the job off 2 hours ago. The people are very nice but I’m totally upset about the total time it took to actually finish it.

And he came back with the part and tried to replace the water valve, because that was the problem I have. But it did not work because a day after I came to do observation the thing was glued, but it was falling off.
So I called and reported to AHS that it was not properly done. They sent a guy to come and quickly fix it, but the guy just came, took a look, and then said he was calling it to somebody else. So, two other men came by and fixed it. And those two men, they had to go back and forth trying to find the right part. There was something that was very hard to secure.

Our AC went out yesterday and even though we live in Florida and we're under a heat advisory, the earliest we can get someone out to even LOOK at the AC is five days from now. So their 24 hour emergency service promise is bogus. I have called multiple times just trying to get someone to help and there has been no help whatsoever. They contract the work out to people who don't give a damn and have horrendous customer service. Then AHS does nothing to help. I believe this is their business model so the customer will get frustrated enough to pay for it themselves. The unbelievable frustration I have had over this makes me realize having this warranty is just not worth it.

When my A/C broke down in 100-degree heat index summer on a Friday morning, I was told that they couldn't commit to finding someone for same day service because "it's Friday". The technician told me that they aren't contracted for weekends so it would be Monday before he could get there. I spent 25 minutes on hold because they didn't know who I should talk to about a complaint.
Ultimately, I was able to reach someone on Facebook Messenger and the social media department handled the complaint by saying that this was within the standard of service. There is no option in their phone prompt to talk to someone about an existing contract issue. I was finally able to reach a competent person by pressing the option for the sales department. I cancelled my contract but gave an opportunity for someone to speak to me about my experience and offer some customer service. There was going to be a long wait time to talk to someone and then nobody called me back within 24 hours. Overall, poor relationships with vendors (I was able to get someone to my home in under 30 minutes and the repair was done in under an hour), poor organization, poor customer service and a big waste of my time.

If I could give a negative 5 star I would. I requested service on my dishwasher 6/19, technician came out the next day. They had to order parts, I was already not happy at the turn around time. They came out again when the parts arrived and I had to wait for another service call which was 7/2. Tech was supposed to be 1-5pm. He called saying he would be late between 630-700p. He arrived at 730p. Took the parts out of the box and realized he needed a seal, again needed to order parts. Now waiting again for the parts. When they arrive the tech did inform us they were booking service calls out 12 days... I am now fuming. I called AHS. 1st call got hung up on. 2nd call stated I needed to talk to supervisor. They put me on hold for 1 1/2 hours with no updates, then hung up on me. I called again. They said a customer client relations would call me the next day.
Around 1030 they hadn't called so I called in, I explained my situation that I should not have to wait a month to get an everyday appliance working. I requested they consider replacing the dishwasher, the person stated they could do a cash payout. I said I was interested. She said her supervisor was at lunch and she would call back at noon. I waited and no call so I called in again. The next person I talked to asked numerous questions as they all did every time. I stated all the info should be on my acct, I was at work and was tired of explaining everything to every person I talked to every time. I asked for a supervisor. She stated they would not replace my dishwasher and when asked for her supervisor she stated her supervisor was in a meeting and I should call back in an hour. I stated a supervisor was supposed to call me an hour ago and I could not call back in, wait on hold, explain everything again and be told some other excuse.
I told her I needed to talk to a supervisor now or I would file a formal complaint, she said she would get them. After 25 minutes on hold I hung up as I had to return to work. The previous person called me back at 130 (the one who said they would call at noon), stated they could offer me $150-200 for replacement. I have paid my service call and have lost $280 in time off of work and now am going to lose another half day, plus they will have paid 3 service calls, and I looked up the parts $257. Are you kidding me. That’s a ton of $. They refuse to replace dishwasher and I have to wait a month!!!! Absolutely unacceptable!!! Such poor customer service!!!

The idea of an insurance policy with American Home Shield was great, coverage for appliances, etc. When we actually had issues, they didn't come to the party and took ages to actually give us an answer. We spent hours on the phone being transferred, pushed on, etc. until eventually we just got hung up on and had to start from square one. They give you short term fixes but don't actually cover replacing an item. Therefore you're left with at most a years solution for your appliance. It wasn't what we were after. I felt we were sold the world and then when we needed to make a claim, it was a waste of time. We finally got so frustrated, we just purchased the new appliance they were supposed to fix that was listed under our policy. I wouldn't waste my money renewing our policy. Good in theory, not in practice.

On 6/10th spoke with Christian, who confirmed refund is in process. On 6/22nd, called in. Spoke with Julie, who states SERVICE REQUEST wasn’t canceled till 6/14th. Still no refund and I cancelled the entire contract. She assured me my Credit card was removed. Further states will get email to confirm. 7/2 I spoke with Grace & then Iris who promised resolve and would get a callback from escalations on 7/3/19 after 6 PM (Iris #**).

The upstairs air conditioner was not working throughout the day. It would get down to temperature at night. But in the afternoons, it would go up by about anywhere from 7 to 9 degrees higher than it was set. I sent in a claim to American Home Shield online and their contractor had to come out three times to get it right. Each time they called me the very next day to schedule an appointment, and they were in within the day. They just couldn't figure out what the problem was. The third person that came in found there were three things wrong with it. So he fixed all three, and off he went. My experience with American Home Shield has been so good that I just signed another house with them.

I've had two claims thus far with American Home Shield. One gentleman came out pretty quickly to repair my air conditioning. Both units were out. He quickly repaired one that day and had to order a compressor for the second unit. However, it took three weeks for that part to come in. I had another gentleman that replaced my washing machine and it was the same problem. He said that it takes a long time for them to get the authorization from American Home Shield. Whoever authorizes the work leaves the contractor hanging for a while. They're left on the phone 45 minutes, 30 minutes during their day while they're supposed to be working. The problem goes back to the service people 'cause people get mad at them. Still, I loved the guy who came for my air conditioner. he provided great service and now we have a new unit. The way we were treated was fine.

It was disappointing that they didn't do anything about whatever was causing the noise. But as long as the air conditioner is running and cooling, then that’s fine.

We submitted a claim with American home Shield for the air conditioner because it stopped working and the drains were plugged up on it. The claim was pretty easy to submit online and somebody was scheduled to come out within a day or two. It was super fast. The air conditioning guy who came was fantastic. He was super quick, took care of the problem, and gave me some ideas for longer-term things because we were talking about potentially replacing the unit eventually. He was super informative.
The air conditioner has been fine since then. I haven't gone up to check on it, with the exception of the following day. But we’re definitely gonna keep an eye on it because it leaked through our ceiling a little bit. We don’t want that to happen again. In general, I wasn’t sure what to expect with American Home Shield. I went in with some pretty low expectations but so far, everything has been great.

We had an on-demand water heater go out and American Home Shield covered it, and we had a new on-demand water heater system put in. I called in on a weekend, and the contractor came out Monday.

We had an AC issue and the AC company originally contracted explained it over the phone that the issue sounded more like an electrical one. American Home Shield switched the order to electrical and the electrician came out. He said, “No. It’s not electrical, it’s AC.” He didn't even know why they would switch it over to electrical without even having somebody come out. Then the order went back to the original AC order and they sent another technician saying that the compressor has to be replaced. American Home Shield ordered a compressor as of last Tuesday, and I suppose they’re gonna come in tomorrow to fix it. My AC is still off and it’s been off for over a week already.

I noticed the AC was leaking in the interior unit and I went online to submit a claim to American Home Shield. The experience was great. We have had no problems with American Home Shield at all since we've had them. It's very easy to go online and request an appointment. Every time that I requested with them, we would get a call in 24 hours from who needed to do the repair.
The gentleman from the company that AHS sent didn't speak great English. So, there was a little bit of a language barrier at first. I didn't know if he really knew what he was doing. He first thought it was just Freon that needed to be replaced but then he realized that our outside unit was working harder than it needed to be. So, a part needed to be replaced and they thought that was what was causing the inside to freeze up. I had to get an approval from American Home Shield because I also had to pay a large amount of money. I got about $1,000 just because of the Freon. AHS didn't cover it except 10 cents per unit. It was very minimal but I knew that beforehand. When they called, they explained it to me again and I understood. The contractor came back about four business days later and they were able to fix it. Since then, I have not noticed any issues and I'm crossing my fingers that all is good.

My air conditioning unit wasn’t working. I submitted a claim to AHS and the contractor wasn’t able to fix it because he said the unit was no good. The heat wasn’t pumping air in. They said I had to pay 3,300 some dollars, I could go through them and pay that right away to get it fixed. And I don’t have $3,000, so I just said, “Forget it.” But I paid them $100 for nothing.
My experience with the contractor was great though. He was very helpful in telling me what I could do. He gave me the information on how I could do the whole upgrade thing with American Home Shield. Unfortunately, American Home Shield did not have a process where I could still get it fixed and maintain it. So, that was the only downfall.
The only thing I don’t like is the idea that if they can't do anything about it, I still winded up being out of $100 and I don’t get my money back. I'm very dissatisfied. It’s just not fair. It’s already the way I'm spending $49 a month with AHS, but then to tell me I gotta pay $100 for the contractors to come out for the service and then they can't fix it. Now, I'm out of 150.

AHS contracts with substandard companies. The reputable companies avoid dealing with AHS because of the paperwork and delays in getting paid. My function but old HVAC system was repeatedly put back together with duct tape and bailing wire methods. One service provided replaced the thermostat but left the connecting wires exposed to the unit on top of the house; another company ruined by gutters with their ladders when servicing the HVAC system. I paid a policy with AHS for 25 years and suggest that you do not get duped as I did and put the money you would spend on a plan away for emergencies.

I had my a/c go out over two weeks ago. They sent a contractor out who had no idea how to test or seemed to know how to work on an a/c. He just left stating he had no idea and told me to call American Home Shield to send someone else out. The second contractor came out approximately 3-4 days later and he looked at the unit and without a proper diagnosis (only visual) told me we need a new a/c. Granted it's an older unit but my best guess just doing my own research is that a drain is clogged (it's leaking on the floor). Neither technician even tested my drain lines. I have been calling American Home Shield for the fifth time today (over a week) and I get someone new every time. Early last week they told me they were waiting for the diagnosis from the second company they sent.
Late last week they told me they received the diagnosis and that it is in the claims department and that they will be calling me within 24 hours. Three days later, today, no word so I called them again. This time the representative told me they are waiting for the diagnosis again. So someone is obviously lying about this or they are giving me the runaround. Meanwhile I have a very sick wife who is going in for a medical procedure tomorrow and our house is boiling hot. This is disgraceful of Home Shield, especially after being a customer for twenty years. My heart bleeds for my wife, who has to come home from her serious condition into a house that has no air and is in the mid-90s outside. Thanks Home Shield for caring so much for a few extra bucks.

Had a sump pump fail in my basement which resulted in my basement flooding. Called my home insurance USAA and they had a water mitigation team there that day. It took AHS a day before they got back to me just to state that they could not find anyone, that I could find my own contractor, and that it could not be one of the contractors they do not approve of. AHS gave me authorization to hire an outside contractor for which they would reimburse me for the cost of the installation minus my service fee. I went through all the hoops they put up, got the contractor to call into AHS before he proceeded with the work just to make sure it was authorized.
Once the work was performed I submitted my invoice for reimbursement on 05/20/19 and received an email response that same day at 2:41 pm that my invoice was received and it would be processed in the order it was received. I called customer service in the middle of June just to inquire of the status of my reimbursement and was told that it would take 30 days from receipt of my invoice for processing.
It is now 07/02/19 and I spoke to a customer service representative at 1:20 pm and was told there is no account of my invoice being received. I repeated word for word from the email I received stating my invoice was received "Thank you for your email. American Home Shield is in receipt of your invoice, and all submissions will be worked in the order they are received. Sincerely, American Home Shield" on 05/20/19, yet all the customer Rep could do was make a note to accounting for someone to call me. At this point I am sick and tired of playing cat and mouse games with AHS customer service reps just to be told no one has an idea of it or when I would be reimbursed for the work I had done. I have cancelled both of my accounts for the two properties I own and will state that this was terrible customer service.

I just purchased a home that has an air conditioner unit installed in the wall that cools a wine cellar in the basement. The wine cellar is a large walk-in room, approximately 10'x 15'. A "wall air conditioner" or "Wall Unit AC" is specifically covered under my home warranty contract. The unit is not working so I filed a claim with American Home Shield. They sent an HVAC contractor out and the technician had no idea how to diagnose or fix my Wall AC Unit. I spoke with him on the phone and he said he considered it an appliance, not an AC unit. Even if they considered it a wine refrigerator, which it is not, my contract specifically includes "all components and parts of a refrigerator, including wine and wet bar refrigerators."
I called American Home Shield two different times and neither person was helpful and they kept telling me my unit was not covered under the warranty and that if I wanted a second opinion, I would have to pay another service fee for them to come out. They are worthless. I feel that this $750 warranty is just a scam and a waste of money.

I have had AHS for at least the past 3 years. I have had no more than 1 service call per year. Each year, the deductible has increased. The services companies they use are mediocre, at best and most of them overcharge for the additional parts or services that you must pay for. So, not only are you paying your AHS premium and a $125 deductible, you are also paying whatever the additional fees are from the service provider which have been substantially higher than local competitors I've called.
FINALLY, when I finally decided to cancel the coverage at the END of a contract (chose not to renew), I was charged with a cancellation fee. I argued that it was at the end of the contract and you were paid through the end of the month so there shouldn't be a fee. I was told they charge an administration fee to handle the cancellation contract paperwork. THUS, I'M TELLING YOU NOT TO DEAL WITH THEM, THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY YOU SPEND AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN POOR!!!

I certainly apologize that we were not able to reach a suitable resolution for you before the contract was canceled. We hope this situation does not discourage you from considering AHS for your future home warranty needs. Thank you for allowing AHS to service you.

The contractor assigned was giving a timeline of three business days to visit for an emergency pipe leak that was spoiling our floor and ceiling in basement. On calling another assigned, came and refuse to fix the garbage disposal where the leak was as he wanted money outside insurance. I called and cancelled my contract after this but they still billed me for the next month. When I called again they said there is no record of me cancelling. They put me for another years contract with higher monthly pay, without even asking me. Let me also add that they do not have any email, chat or written support on their website so there is no written record of what the customer is telling them. There is also no way for you to remove payment from your account. Worse home warranty company. Save you more than $800/year and if something breaks in the house just get it fixed, a dishwasher/microwave or garbage disposal repair will not cost you more than that.

I have had AHS since I bought my house back in 2016. I have only called them 3 times and in all 3 instances it was a horrible experience. The first time was for my water pump, they told me it would take them 2 weeks to get someone to my house. I had to arrange someone to come fix that myself. I'm on a well and no water for 2 weeks is unacceptable. The second time it was for a microwave. Another headache to get them to fix it. The third time and still ongoing has been my A/C. I placed my first call to them on April 16, 2019. It is now July 2nd and my A/C is still not working. The first guy to come fix it told me it was a clogged line, he then blew air down the pipe and said the problem was fixed. Nothing came out the other side and I pointed that out to him. He said that many times there's nothing to see. Long story short, he left, the next day my closet was flooded.
I called AHS back. They didn't want to acknowledge the fact their technician had caused more damage rather than fixing the problem. He came back a week later and told me they needed a drip pan. From that day until now, I have called them every week about this. AHS has given me the run around for almost 3 months now. Every call is the same. "I am sorry sir," "So sorry," "I will escalate this issue," "I will call the service provider," "A manager will call soon," "It will be fixed this time," "I will refund your service call," "We will make sure all is addressed and so on..." Been going on for 76 days now. I asked to speak with a local office and the "supervisor" told me there's no local office. All of their operations is in the Philippines... I guess there's no accountability here for the mess they do. Do yourselves a favor and never contract with them. It will be a ton of frustration every time you need to use them. Waste of your money!!!

Update on 01/03/2020: This is an update to an earlier review. To recap: After dozens of calls to AHS and NUMEROUS unsatisfactory vendor visits, we were finally promised a new HVAC to replace our failing 16-year-old system. We live out of state and our tenant had gone three months without air. After my review posted We were promised a WHOLE NEW SYSTEM. What we didn't realize was that only part of the system was replaced, as neither AHS nor the vendor shared that part with us. Not surprisingly, the malfunctions began IMMEDIATELY after replacement. The cycle started again and we wondered if we were given a dud.
It's now been over six months of continued problems and our tenant is now without heat! We cannot afford to come out of pocket to replace this unit again, which is why we've invested into AHS for over 13 years! The current vendor on the case (who happened to do the partial replacement last year) is doing everything possible to avoid completing a full diagnostic (even after several visits). They either avoid our calls or find some reason not to enter the house when they are there. Yesterday's (new) excuse was that they couldn't enter the attic because it was too dark (this seems odd given that they made the appointment during their own working hours and carry no lights).
This is what me and my family have been dealing with for nearly one year, and the tenant is the one paying the price. Can and will American Home Shield deliver on its promises? We have paid SO much money in premiums, deductibles, untold amounts of freon, as well as the replacement unit deductible - we have literally paid for several good HVAC systems by now. Please fix this problem once and for all and use someone reputable! We are so wearied and frustrated.
Original Review: The cooling system in our rental home (3 BA house) malfunctioned on May 2, prompting a call to AHS for service. Three different companies ended up coming by the home over a span of five weeks - the first one dropped off the planet after promising a compressor, the second one wouldn't touch the unit, and the third one eventually installed a new compressor, which did not solve the problem. Now the issue has become the exhaust fan, and two new companies have gotten involved (with a new deductible). Hence, the cycle begins again and the problem is still not fixed.
The tenants, who have been extremely patient, are approaching 60 days without proper air, and are depending on window units, which restrict them to living in certain parts of the home. They would have grounds for breaking their lease. We are offering them concessions while we wait for AHS to do its job. Communicating with AHS has been, for us, like steering a whale - you just get dragged around. Supervisors never call you back (good luck asking to speak to one), and each rep speaks as if they're all reading the same script. The answer is always the same: "we're sending someone out". I've heard that more times than anyone should.
It is likely that this unit (now 16 years old) needs to be replaced, but AHS avoids this and continues to contract with low-rep companies who bandage the issue, if they do the work at all. No matter how much I explain the situation, it does not seem to matter that weeks have passed without resolution; AHS is perfectly fine keeping this train going as long as possible. To add insult to injury, after everything, I recently received a letter from AHS saying that the compressor wasn't covered by the warranty. What? Why not tell me that when I was calling a dozen times? I'm fed up with a company that has collected enough money from me over the years to pay for two new units (with only two claims in ten years). The stress on my tenants, the property manager (who has also been fighting with AHS), and my family is unwarranted. Should someone from AHS choose to respond to this, please do not tell me again that you're sending someone out!

I’ve had to use American Home Shield quite often within the last year with my property. I also had American Home Shield a few years ago in a previous property. And I'm very happy with the service. When I first bought the house, the previous owners had another company. It was one of American Home Shield's competitors and they weren’t as good. Their coverage and their plans weren’t as good, which is why I switched. The only drawback of the service with American Home Shield is that sometimes, it can be two or three days before the contractor can get out. Aside from that, I also had a water issue late on a Sunday night and I couldn’t get hold of anyone from American Home Shield because they were closed. I desperately needed an emergency callout so I had to go through my own pocket on that one. Emergency callout is a tough one but that's the one other thing. Other than that, I’m very happy with the service and I would recommend it to anyone.
For our most recent claim, we originally submitted for a technician for the dryer because it had stopped working. But when he came, he determined it was a low voltage issue and not an issue with the dryer. So I contacted American Home Shield by phone and explained what the situation was and they switched the ticket from appliance to electrical. They organized Electrotech to come out and within 24 hours, the electrician and his helper were out. They were very friendly, polite and professional. They were also very safety-conscious because they were dealing with a live electrical breaker panel. One person was working on the panel and the other was standing by with an insulated tool to pull him off in case there was a case of electrocution. I was very happy with the quality of work and their mindset of safety. The breaker and the dryer work now.

AAction Air Conditioning & Heating came out for my AC system. They told me that some of my ducts were loose and something had tore one of them. But they said that American Home Shield didn’t cover it because it wasn’t wear and tear. And they wanted to charge me 300 something dollars, and I declined it because I didn’t feel it was right to be charged 300 something dollars for something I couldn’t control. I don’t know what is under the house or on top of the house. And I wasn’t too thrilled when I called somebody, which I thought was professional to handle it and let me know the right thing.
I had another claim with American Home Shield and it really wasn’t too satisfying. I had something going on with my toilet. And I paid my $100 because if I’m gonna have a warranty and that’s my deductible, that’s what I’m gonna pay. And so, the gentleman came out for my toilet. And being a female, I don’t know that much about everything. So, because it was leaking, I asked him to check the toilet. Two weeks later, I had to pay Lowe’s to replace the toilet. For $100, the guy that AHS sent stayed here maybe 15 minutes, and he changed the supply line that went from the toilet to the floor with a shut off valve to get my problem solved. So, I paid $100 for an $8 thing. I had to buy the same part when Lowe’s put my toilet in. I paid Lowe’s $99 for the installation, and I paid American Home Shield $100 for the $10 supply line.
So, both of my experiences thus far have not been too satisfying. I will give AHS a call. When you’re new at being a homeowner, things are gonna happen and so you try to trust your judgment to professionals. And when you feel like somebody is really trying to get some extra money, that doesn’t sound good to me. And I told myself I’m gonna get American Home Shield for my protection. Then when I get to use it, all of a sudden, I’m paying $100 and my problem wasn't solved.

The guy who came out found the issue. There was a part that seemed to need a repair. So he changed the item. And the air conditioner now works. My air conditioner is older. And I always have problem with air conditioning. On weekends, the contractors are not working. And if it's Friday and you have problem, you need to bear the whole weekend.

I was with another home warranty company and became dissatisfied, so I searched and found American Home Shield, who has been wonderful. They’re a quality company that provides a great service. Also, I’ve always had great luck with the contractor companies. When I haven’t heard from the company, AHS will say I’ll get a text right away. Their communication’s great when you don’t have to deal with a call center that is in another country, which I’ve been very frustrated with. When I speak to someone stateside when I have an issue, right after I hang up or I place the claim online, I get a text saying so-and-so will be contacting me soon to set up an appointment. And if for some reason that company hasn’t responded, American Home Shield has a backup company.
Going online, whether you're doing a virtual chat with somebody or doing a claim yourself, is also pretty easy. I had a heating and cooling company one time and Mike did awesome. He has helped me before with my pool equipment. Super knowledgeable, great communication and always easygoing. He’s like, “I can get out there tomorrow,” and not, “Two weeks, I can come out there”.

While AHS came highly recommended over other services to me, my first interaction caught me off guard. They do key service and for $75 I would get seven door keys and locks. They set me up with one of the local vendors and said that I should get an appointment within 48 hours. I didn't get one but they sent an email telling me who the vendor was. I then called the vendor directly to see when they were gonna set up an appointment. However, they said they didn't have requisitions for me. The reps there told me to call my warranty people and get them to put a requisition in.
I called AHS and the rep said that the vendor has 72 hours. I said no they didn't have 72 hours. Instead, it's 48. I told the rep that the vendor has been waiting on AHS to call and that was all she had to do so I could get the rekeying done. The lock people had said they had an availability on Friday. The AHS rep told me to hold on for a minute and she was gone for a long time. She finally came back to tell me that there is no vendor in my area who could come out and see me. I told her that wasn't true as I had just talked to the rekeying vendor and that the rekeying vendor had talked to her and told me her name. She told me that they would get me set up with somebody else.
I called back my local vendor and said that I had talked to someone from AHS about getting my locks changed and said that AHS was saying they don't service my area. The rep from the local vendor said that wasn't true. She said there was an issue with my warranty service. I followed everything up, but I got lied to.

Our dryer was not working properly so we made a claim to AHS. We had the guy come out and he replaced a few things on the dryer, but then found the problem within the outlet itself. So then, an electrician had to come and change out the outlet. It seems like in the past, when we didn't have AHS, we could get someone out a little sooner. But other than that little bit of a delay, our experience with AHS is fine. Both technicians were also very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Everything's good since the repair.

I had a problem with my air conditioner and the contractor that American Home Shield sent out looked at it. He explained to me that it needed the compressor and Freon. He explained to me that the Freon would take somewhere between 8 and 10 pounds, which meant that I would have to pay the 70 times whatever number of pounds they needed. At that time, I didn't have the money for that. So, I waited for them to call me. But I ended up calling them because it was an extreme length of time and I wanted to find out what was going on.
They told me that the person who was supposed to do it declined to do it. So, they had to put me with someone else. That person came out, and went through the same thing again. He told me it was going to be about 12 pounds for the Freon. We waited for the compressor to come in, set it up, and then he came out again and fixed the unit. A week and a half later, the air conditioner went out again. So I called American Home Shield back on a Monday, and the contractor came out on Wednesday. There was some part that was defective, so the tech replaced the part, and the air conditioner has been working ever since.
I called American Home Shield to submit my claims, and I don't like the phone tree. It took forever for me to get to speak with someone. That's a waste of time. The second time I spoke with someone, the gentleman implicated that there may have been a time limit on when I could have the repair fixed. But he never told me what that limit was.

The contractor, Just In Time Air Conditioning & Heating, came out last year and American Home Shield wouldn't allow the repairmen to a leak test because they said it would cost too much money. So this year, the air conditioner leaked out Freon and it wasn't cooling. I submitted the claim over the phone and the contractor was here the second day after I placed it. The guy who came this time had it figured out and replaced the evaporator coil. The service was very good and everything has been great so far.

I filed a claim online to AHS because there was water coming from the furnace. The contractors were out the next business day. They had replaced a condenser pump that's located near the floor that had gone bad. But in the meantime, the home wasn't cooling properly. So, American Home Shield called them back, they did a diagnostic test, and found out there was actually a hole in the evaporator core. So, they went on, ordered the parts for that and replaced the parts. And the refrigerant's a different story with American Home Shield, but there was no additional service call charge. It was related back to the original one. Everything is working fine now.
The one thing that I don't care for is that the price of Freon is extremely high now. There's a new refrigerant that's being used, but American Home Shield only covers $10 per pound of refrigerant, and the average price of refrigerant now is anywhere between $70 to $120 a pound. And that, to me, is unfair. And American Home Shield, although they say they will replace an air conditioning unit that is no longer serviceable, that is not necessarily true. They will come up with a portion of the cost, and then the rest is up to the consumer. So, there are a couple of things that are misleading in their advertisement. However, when submitting a claim online, it is usually not an issue. But in the past, if you want a certain vendor that they have and just not randomly having one, you could be on the phone for better than an hour waiting for a representative, until last year when that has improved tremendously.

Upon submitting a claim for our AC repair and paying $125 for service we were linked with a horrible AC repair company who did not submit diagnostic paperwork to American Shield within 48hrs as per their policy. When calling to follow-up we were hung up on 3 times, customer service representatives do not keep adequate notes in the account and do not return calls that they set up! Every time we called it was like we were starting all over again. The representatives have no answers, refuse to escalate call to supervisor and refused to assign another vendor to our case while insisting on waiting for the vendor to return their call (we called the vendor too and the voicemail was full)...
Meanwhile we have a three week old baby and heat advisory’s in FL and it’s been over a week since we started the process. We still do not have a resolution however fought to get a $125 refund (still “processing”). Our AC is covered under our policy and we still do not have a repair or replacement. Seems like American Shield is good for other services and appliances but not AC!!! Would not recommend at all - we have paid for a policy as consumers and the company is not fulfilling their portion.

I was an AHS customer for 4 years. Paying $50 a month, they made $2400+ off me. When I sold my property, I of course cancelled the policy as I no longer own the home.

NEVER USE AMERICAN HOME SHIELD for appliance insurance EVER!!! First of all the customer service is outside the USA and you can only understand part of everything they say, most of which sounds like the memorized phrases. They do not comprehend what you are trying to convey. Second, they refuse to get a supervisor, I waited over 4 hours and the person who said they were a supervisor, lied about providing a repair person for both my refrigerators and my stove and wouldn't come out the same day because $800 worth of food rotting is not an emergency, only MEDICAL emergencies are emergencies. Is it an appliance or a patient?
Third, They make up the rules as they go and in the fine print you will read, they will determine if they feel like covering the repair or not. Fourth, they charge you for the service call before they ever send a service person out & then they didn't repair anything. When the repair man arrived, he said he was only authorized to repair ONE refrigerator but then DID NOT REPAIR ANYTHING! He said he was authorized to only repair the one in the main house not the garage because the contract says so but they state one thing in their contract and then deny coverage when you call.
Their contract STATES if the appliance is "Installed for diagnosis within the confines of the main foundation of the home or attached or detached garage." The operator from another country kept telling me that because it's in the garage they will not cover it. They charge you a co-pay fee before sending someone out and then find a way to deny fixing your appliances when they arrive.
Then on the refrigerator in the kitchen they said the rubber seals on the door, the electric motherboard and the broken door panel were due to customer abuse!!!! The refrigerator is 9 yrs old, and we've been paying these monthly fees for over 2 yrs with no incidents but they will not pay when our appliances wear out or break down, they have fine print that only they are allowed to interpret any way they want to avoid paying for the coverage you pay for! Don't use this insurance, it's worthless & overcharging customers. We paid thousands & this is the first service call we made and they refused to repair anything!!!! Don't get ripped off! Buyer beware!!!

This company repeated failed to fix my A/C issues, then terminated my service upon my contract ending. A/C still not repaired a year later. We had AHS since purchasing our Home in 2015. Had no issues with them in servicing various things like our Furnace and Water heater, and then 2018 came. In early May 2018 our A/C wasn't working so we placed a service call for repair thru AHS. AHS sent out one of their contracted companies to look at our A/C unit. It was determined that the unit was out of freon and that the inside unit needed replaced. So, I paid the $75 service fee and approximately $850 for refilling the freon and modifications that AHS didn't cover for the repair. Flash forward to 8/31/2018 and our A/C is put to the test again and yet again when we need it, it fails. Place the service call through AHS like we are supposed to again.
They send out a different company that determines the unit outside needs replaced and oh yeah, the unit needs refilled again. After a horrible experience back and forth with a supposed corporate level associate we pay out of pocket approximately $150 for this fix. Now, mind you, each time we try to get someone out to fix our A/C it takes weeks as it isn't a real priority for them to fix and the last "fix" had the problem report on 8/31/18 and the issue not be fixed until 10/3/2018. As you might imagine, it wasn't really hot come October 3rd so while they did test the A/C system, it never really got put to the test. That is until this last weekend.
Now, before I get to that I must point out that after this issue was finally resolved AHS sent me a letter indicating that when my contract expired on 5/13/2019 that they wouldn't be renewing with me. Convenient as that is. So now, this past weekend we had temperatures in the upper 90s so the A/C was being used, as is to be expected. And wouldn't you know it, even though I basically had an entirely new A/C system, per the words of the upper level corporate individual at AHS, I have an A/C system that has failed.
The line from the unit outside to the house has many sections where ice if visible. Not good from what I've read about online. Needless to say, I emailed my contact at AHS not expecting them to do anything, which was confirmed by a different person. So, I now have to clean up an issue that AHS should have taken care of back in May 2018 but dragged their feet only putting a band aid on the issue as it was more "cost effective" for them. I have additionally contacted the company AHS sent out to do the repairs the last time but haven't had any contact back from them.

We have had the service for over a year and they make all the promises and then never follow through. Many things are not covered and most of the contractors they use don't work on weekends. Also we had to call the contractor assigned and they told us it would be another 3 days before they could come out. Keep in mind we have already waited 2 days without hot water and have a small child. The contractor also told us on the phone that the warranty repair service through American Home Shield is not a priority since they have a hard time getting the company to pay them and even if they come out and determine the water heater needs to be replaced they will not do the work until the company pays them which usually takes 2 weeks.
It is completely unreasonable to be without hot water for 3 weeks when you are paying for a warranty in case of an emergency situation. We have tried using the warranty 2 times over the year we have had it and both times were unsuccessful. They also charge you instantly for the deductible and you have to fight with them to get it back when the contractor does not show. Save yourself the frustration and find someone else as a warranty company or do it yourself if you can.

Customer service was terrible! We were customers of AHS for numerous years and today (July 1,2019) I had a problem that required me to call in for assistance. The experience was horrible. I spoke with a total of 6 representatives and then requested to speak with a supervisor and was denied the right to speak with a supervisor because agent Christine stated she had already briefed the supervisor Jason (operator#**) on my situation. After being denied numerous request to speak with a supervisor, I asked for a telephone number to the complaints department and was then told she could give me the mailing address to mail in my complaint, to which I responded "WHO STILL SENDS MAIL?!?!" This exchange proved to me that AHS doesn't care about their customers or their customers' concerns. We have made the decision to terminate our contract with AHS.

We purchased our house in August 2018, and with it came a current American Home Shield (AHS) insurance policy, which included our various appliances and pool equipment. Our refrigerator quit working 10 days ago, at which point we contacted AHS to file a claim, and paid the insurance deductible. Two days later (on Friday afternoon), a technician was dispatched to "assess" the problem. At first he asked multiple questions, trying to bait me into stating that our family had left a fridge or freezer door open, or similar, as a reason to deny the claim.
After we completed that verbal dance after 10 minutes, he let me know that AHS would most-likely deny the claim to repair, due to cost of parts and labor, and would most-likely offer us a replacement. He instructed us to unplug the fridge, and that on Monday he would call to let us know the status of the claim request. On Tuesday morning, after no communications from either AHS or the contractor, we contacted both organizations. AHS Customer Service said our claim was denied, and to contact the manufacturer for warranty claim (it's out of warranty, which we already told them). After we let AHS know that it was out of warranty again, they stated they would escalate and review the claim.
It has now been 5 working days since that claim went into review, and we still do not have a functioning fridge, or any sort of plan or response from AHS. When calling into customer care, we're told that since the claim has been escalated and is in-review, they cannot help us. From my standpoint, AHS has taken our monthly payments, AND our deductible for this repair and is skirting their responsibility. It is apparent that they are just hoping we go away and buy a new fridge out of pocket. Hopefully this review gets someone's attention at AHS, who can actually do something about this disappointing experience so far.

It was 45 minutes or longer. And then, most of the time, somebody answers and we can't hardly understand them. We've had Woods Appliance out for the refrigerator and dishwasher, and we had good experiences with them up until lately.
We've called about some plumbing issues and American Home Shield had to use Gash Plumbing out of Higginsville. I'm not a real fan of Gash Plumbing. I much prefer some of the guys in Warrensburg, which we're right in the middle between Warrensburg and Higginsville. That was a little frustrating. I paid for a couple of plumbing things myself just because I didn't wanna use Gash, and that's who the American Home Shield representative would insist upon using. We did had to replace hot water heater and we went through Gash. They did a fine job. But they're just not my first choice for plumbing.
My most recent claim with American Home Shield was for the dishwasher and it was a six-month ordeal. Woods Appliance came out and looked at it. The tech came out three different times. He was gonna recommend replacement of the dishwasher but we never heard back from him. And then we couldn't get him to come back out. We contacted American Home Shield and they reached out to him, but we still didn't hear back from him. After we talked with the representative from American Home Shield, he said they were going to replace the dishwasher and to allot a certain number of dollars. So we did that, and we're very thankful. It was just frustrating for a few months. But other than that, it went well. We're very satisfied with American Home Shield. Our year's up in August and we're going to renew with them.

The air wasn’t working, and it was because whoever had mowed the lawn wound up cutting the electrical cord with a weed whacker. The contractors that AHS sent were amazing. And they came and they fixed it. They did a great job and they were perfect. However, when I tried to do submit a claim online to AHS, it was a little confusing only because I have never done it before. The person that I purchased the house from, that Realtor, didn’t explain it at all. The packet that they gave me didn’t really explain it. It wasn’t user-friendly.
What happened was I closed on a Friday. I called on a Saturday, and it kept telling me that the number I was putting in was incorrect. But it was the number that they gave me to use. So I’m thinking now, “I don’t have this warranty,” because they’re telling me I’m not in the system. But I was in the system. That’s where I was pretty unhappy because I was out of town. I had people there that were moving, and they were screaming because they were upset. I almost got to the point where I was just gonna pay somebody to go out and fix it and not even worry about it. And it was a weekend and I didn’t know how long it would actually take for someone to come and do anything. So it was about a week before the contractors were able to do it. It was 87 degrees out and that was not a good thing.
So now that I know that I’m in the system, and I know that if it doesn’t work by that, I go by my phone number. But there was nothing in there that said, “If the number’s not right, do this.” So that would be the one thing that I would fix on that. But other than that, it was lovely once I figured it out. The only thing I did notice is that they don’t call back on the weekends at all, which I think should have been explained. The Realtor said they’d call me back. And then when I got somebody, they said, “You’re gonna hear from the contractors in 24 hours.” That’s not true. I didn’t hear from them in 24 hours. It’s 24 hours if it’s a work week, but not on the weekends.

I put it in online first and I immediately got the name of the company that was coming which was Third Generation Plumbing & Mechanical. I got online to check the reviews and they were not good. Everyone said not to use them. I called the insurance company and the girl there was very nice. I told her what I found out. She looked at it and said she would send a senior technician. That worked out fine.
The technician was here at 9:30 on Monday morning. I was surprised he came so soon because I didn’t call until Saturday night. I guess he happened to be in Lakeland. He was very good. He put a new garbage disposal in. He had one in the truck and it looked like the same brand that was taken out. The technician was in and out of here rather quickly. The garbage disposal has been working well.

The first time Majestic Custom Heating & Air came out, they just diagnosed the air conditioner to get it running for 10 minutes. There was a capacitor out on the main unit outside and they replaced that. The air conditioner started running and they left. They could have been to the next stop before it stopped working although I understood that they couldn't stay forever. Often, I went to work and when I came home, I called them again to say that nothing was coming out of the vent. I went downstairs, felt it and it was cold.
Five days later, they came back to the house again and replaced the thermostat. It turned on for a little bit but it turned on from the old thermostat. They went away but by the time I came home from work, the blower was not blowing. So, they came back out after I had to wait another week for them to come because they were busy. They replaced the blower motor and it was blowing harder than it ever has. He left and I went back to work. When I got home from work, it was not air conditioning again. So, I called them again. I called AHS and I couldn't get anybody else out there.
AHS called Custom and said I could them set up. I had Majestic coming out on Friday and I had Custom set out to do a second opinion on Monday. But then, AHS canceled with Custom and said that I couldn’t have two contractors coming for the same problem. When Majestic came out for the fourth visit on that Friday, they said they couldn’t get the parts for this thing anymore for the stuff that they needed to fix and they were gonna have to recommend a replacement for it. AHS approved it. Custom called me and said that they got an email from AHS saying that the air conditioner had been shipped. So, I don't know if AHS shipped it to the customer or if they shipped it to Majestic.
I'm going through the middle of summer without an air conditioner and I've got a window unit running in my bedroom so that I can at least sleep at night but the rest of the house, you just sit there and sweat. I'm frustrated at this point. I've had AHS for a long time, and this is the first time that it has ever taken four visits for somebody to figure this out.

We had water leaking continuously and when we submitted a claim with AHS, their reps did a good job. They called somebody and had a contractor scheduled to come out. Then, within hours after the time we were finished talking on the phone, the tech was out here to fix the issue. He was absolutely super and he showed me exactly what the problem was. I was pretty sure what it was anyway, but I still liked that he showed it to me. Then he put in a new part and fixed it. He was out of here within 20 minutes and things have been perfect since then. I was very satisfied with my experience. In fact, I told the tech while he was here that I was really happy with what he did and how fast the repair got done.

AHS's contractor, Appliance Resource and Rescue, was very quick. They did a good job and I'm really happy with them. They fixed my refrigerator and replaced the parts. Initially, they showed up as soon as I called. Seven or eight days after, they got the parts and installed those in an hour. Everything has been working perfectly since.

We saw that the detergent in our dishwasher was only half dissolve. And since my wife set that twice to turn on the hot water, it was suddenly warm. It didn’t get hot completely like it should be. So, after seeing that happen several times, we put in a service call with American Home Shield. Choice Plumbing came out, and the gentleman was amazing. He was friendly, professional, and he found out that the element underneath was bad. So, he replaced it, and right after what he did, everything was back to normal. We have the hot water the way it should be, and when we watch the dishwasher, all the detergent were dissolved completely.
I’ve been with American Home Shield for 21 years, and I stay with them because they always find very good contractors for me to work with. Also, American Home Shield is one of the best extended warranties. And so far, we’ve been happy with them. I’ve been recommending American Home Shield to every friend that I have. And some of them got contracts with American Home Shield because of what I told them.

I've been with American Home Shield for a number of years, and I’m one of their happiest customers. They had a new appliance service company that’s set. Before, it was a different one. One time, the repair guy did everything he could. It’s kind of a mess when you don’t have a washer for a month. He did everything he could to get my washer up as soon as he got the parts, and he was here and cleaned up behind himself. He was really a nice man. I have recommended AHS to a lot of people.

Our most recent service request with American Home Shield was a bit of a fiasco. We originally filed a claim with them because our water heater was making noises when it would fire up. It made a big whoosh sound, like the pilot light was being overfed too much gas. They sent a local plumber out, but in the interim from the time that I made that phone call to the time that the plumber came out, we had another issue, which was a toilet that overflowed and flooded a part of our house. So when the plumber got there, they addressed that, which was a toilet that had blockage, and a flap on the toilet that wasn’t coming all the way down. The water ran and that’s why it flooded. They sent another guy out the next day with an aqua jet and I was there for that. And the jet didn’t unclog it, but then he ran the snake and he got it unclogged.
I talked to American Home Shield and they told me that the claim wouldn’t be covered because my policy doesn’t cover a jet. I said that was not what ended up unclogging the toilet and it was the snake. They said, “Well, if it’s over 100 feet, we don’t cover that.” According to the technician, it was only 80 feet. We went round and round, and the plumber finally got American Home Shield to cover the issue.
In the meantime, the water heater was never addressed and it ended up failing. I ended up in the hospital and had a emergency surgery that I wasn’t expecting. So we contacted that same plumber. The last time we had the water heater replaced, American Home Shield sent a plumber out from about 200 miles away from us, who installed the water heater. The heater was not serviced in our area. But it was supposed to be more efficient and it was mandated for the area where this plumber was. That same plumber that we met through American Home Shield, said, “They’re really inferior. They pump too much gas. That’s why you were hearing the big poof sound. It burns out the whole screen,” and it needed to be replaced. We ended up paying for it ourselves because it would’ve been three days before we got approval from American Home Shield to have it looked at, and I didn’t want my wife to be out of hot water.

Starting the day we moved in, our dishwasher wasn't cleaning anything. Also, starting a month and a half ago, our ice maker wasn't working either. Submitting claims online to American Home Shield to me a while to figure out. I had to find an old email and track it around from there. Every month, I get an email that tells me home tips but doesn't tell me what to do to file a claim. I had to Google American Home Shield and hope to find the right place to file a claim. Though they got a tech out within 48 hours and he was fine, it took me months to figure out how to file.

My recent claim experience with American Home Shield is working out fine. I just have one thing that hasn’t been fixed yet. And it had to do with electric stuff. I have a 220 cable running out of the ground, and what I’m trying to do is have a like a transformer box hooked up to it and the wire clipped, so it’s within code. And I don’t know if I put that into details or if I put anything in the details, but that was another thing that I needed to be done. Other than that, AHS is awesome. And the boss from Electro-Tech South Texas ended up coming out, which was very impressive. He said he goes out to all of the locations that he sends his workers to just to get a heads up on what’s going on, so he’s warm and fuzzy. And I thought that was very professional. Not every company can do that, but he made it personal by coming out. The workers were great. They were very respectful and they got the work done quickly.
I’ve done my claims with AHS both online and over the phone, but I prefer the online. And on every claim that we’ve had, as far as the personnel goes and the contractors that have come out, they’ve been very respectful, polite and they get the job done. Also, they follow up with us and let us know when the job is complete.

First, it's actually been a very long time since I've been treated so badly by so many people at one company. I'm physically shaking and ILL while writing this. I've had AHS for 4 plus years. Paying every month and not needing them until yesterday. It was and is 115 degrees in the AZ desert heat. I called because my HVAC capacitor went out. After 7 calls and being hung up on repeatedly they told me to find my own HVAC company to make the repair and to call back with their diagnosis. After many calls to companies who refused to work with AHS I finally found one, 24 hours later. Please keep in mind all without any air Conditioning in 115 degrees.
The HVAC tech came. We had to call 14 times. Not kidding. 14 times. Talking to rude people who would refuse to authorize a 200$ repair. Sasha was a name I received of one rep. So 14 calls and this poor technician who was simply telling AHS what was broken was also being spoken to so rudely and being accused of being told what to say by me and I didn't say anything except my property address. Even though I pay every month for 4 years they refused to authorize a capacitor repair on my 14 year old air conditioner.
The repair was 200$. The tech spent 4 hours talking to them and being hung up on. The capacitor took 5 minutes to replace. He was so incredible and AHS employees should truly feel ashamed at how disgraceful they treat people who need help. I paid $100 yesterday for a service call but they had me find a company telling me I'd be reimbursed, as long as the company was licensed insured. I could not believe how I was talked to or how the technician from the AC company who didn't even work for American Home Shield. Shame on American Home Shield and their belittling representatives who just yell, degrade and hang up repeatedly.
Good morning Jennifer.
I hate to hear about your most recent experience to have the capacitor replaced with AHS. I would be glad to speak with you and discuss the level of customer service.
