    American Home Shield promise things and then deny them. The contract says all parts are covered and then they say they’ll cover it except I owe the company $1,000 to get this done. I asked why the parts are not covered and they didn’t have any answers. So, I'm not a fan of American Home Shield.

    We were having Thanksgiving dinner and there was water all over the floor. We couldn't tell which line it was coming from but because of the volume of water it was probably the disposal. The repair guy took off his shoes at the front door and was very polite. He said he could see the leak on the disposal and he happened to have one on his truck. He got it and installed it. He was neat, quick, efficient and professional. American Home Shield gives you peace of mind. The fee is a little bit higher than it used to be but everything is higher than it used to be.

    The techs were very nice and professional. They worked on the refrigerator and also changed the stovetop. The problem is that with the refrigerator, the same piece that they replaced got damaged. It would get stuck. It was the reason why I called it in. The refrigerator has two doors and the one that has the water outside has to be replaced and they were gonna order the complete door to replace the part that keeps breaking and come back today. I'm very happy with American Home Shield. My co-worker referred me to them and I referred them my friend.

    I placed an order for a microwave because it had a light lit that said reset some kind of filter. I'm not very savvy electronically. So, I called it in and paid my 125. Then today, while I was waiting for them, I started to look at the microwave and I figured out that the filters were filthy. This is a rental property and the tenants never cleaned it. So, I removed the filters, cleaned it out and the light went away. So, I gotta call AHS now to tell them. I told the gentleman to please let them know that the call for the microwave was a mistake and I’m wondering if they're gonna refund me for not using it. I'll find out how that turns out. I hope it's successful as it's been until now. The customer service is very nice and professional. I have AHS in the tenant’s house as well as in my house. My house is double what I pay the tenant's property because it's a bigger house. It's alright. But I hope it doesn't go up because once you have a claim, they tend to increase it.

    American Home Shield is worth having if you can afford it. But if you can't afford $75 a month and $100 every time, I wouldn't recommend it because you can finance all the things that you might need to replace in your house for a lot less than that. AHS is expensive for what I get. But they have sent techs out and repaired my air conditioner more than once, so it has been worth it. My dishwasher and dryer recently broke. AHS has that replacement if they couldn't fix it thing, but they could not replace my dryer. They only gave me half of what a new dryer costs, so I'm not thrilled about that. I assumed they would cover the entire cost of a dryer, but they gave me what mine would be worth, which is crazy because it's 10 years old. I had to spend about $500. The dishwasher part has been ordered and the guy should come back sometime this week.

The tech came out, changed out the light switch thing, and it did good. But that night, it started flickering again and I never called them back. I will call American Home Shield back and let them know. The light is not doing it as often, but still does it. I wasn't sure who to call, whether the tech or AHS.

    The microwave oven stopped working. If I click on the start button, it doesn’t switch on. It had been almost a month since I made the initial complaint to American Home Shield and the first contractor never showed up. Every time I called AHS back, they kept saying that they had to reach out to the contractor and they could not switch contractors. And even when they tried to reach out to the contractor, he was not responding to them. When I finally told American Home Shield I wanted to cancel my contract, they agreed to switch it to a different contractor. The techs from FTA Services were very prompt. As soon as AHS switched to them, they reached out to me, set up an appointment and came at the promised time. They did a good job in fixing it.

    The experience with American Home Shield was extremely bad. People should choose a different company because their policy doesn't make any sense. They would rather make a customer wait with a faulty piece of equipment and keep repeating the same thing and they will not change it until you tell them that you’ve had enough of them and you’re gonna quit. They drag you till that point.

    I've had American Home Shield for at least three houses now. It originally came as part of the purchase from the seller. We liked the service, so we kept getting it on the additional house. We've had it for at least 10 years. It's a good service to have and definitely worth the money if anything ever goes wrong. We recently had a problem with the shower faucet leaking and not getting hot water. I went online, requested a service, and picked "Faucet". It was the closest thing I could find to the issue. The tech was nice, professional, efficient, and got it done very quickly. It's fine now. He did a good job.

    American Home Shield is a good service for people like me who are budgeting for our home. We can count on paying X amount of dollars per month with the idea that we would not have $2,000 appliance issue come up. It would only cost us our monthly payment plus 125 to come out. However, information wasn't relayed well through AHS. But when I clicked on their website, on my claim, the website had it listed. The contractor never contacted me. I contacted them and said, "You guys are listed and I didn't get a call yet." They said, "Oh, yeah. We need to schedule." AHS should have a larger contractor base so things could be done in a timely manner. Everybody's busy. I get it. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed that they came out and didn't fix the problem.

    The vent still doesn't work and the buttons still don't work. I'm not thrilled with that. The technician called me and said, "Hey, I'm on my way. I'm 30 minutes out." He came, replaced two things, and left. My wife looked at it after he left and it's not fixed. I called the tech and he thought it was fixed. But he said he would make it right, that he would come back Monday, which is in a few days.

    The pipe busted under the house and it happened in the bathroom because that's where I heard it. I got the problem solved. Except this time, American Home Shield took a little longer. They were saying that Power Plus Services wasn't showing up in their system. The tech just came out the week before and did some work for me. So, I don't understand why he's not in the system. I had to wait a day and a half before AHS could get Power Plus Services into the system again. All the techs that AHS sent out were very nice and knowledgeable about the job. But they could get someone in the area instead of me having to wait for them to find someone outside of the area.

The guy came out and diagnosed it, and ordered the parts. The parts came in. He came out and fixed it. It was very simple. Both times the guy showed up within the time frame that was promised.

    The website of AHS is user-friendly and it's simple and easy to do. Omega Force Appliance came out recently to repair a burner that was dysfunctional, and the provider was very courteous, and very thorough, and replaced those parts. I had a good experience with them. Aaron, the tech, was fantastic. He was in and out and explained things to me. He quickly diagnosed it and replaced the part with ease. Others should choose American Home Shield if they're looking at a warranty company because they provide great service and it also helps the provider in our region.

    We reached out to American Home Shield because my $4,500 Samsung refrigerator was making a little bit of sound from the ice maker. So, they allocated Express Appliance. When the guys came, they did a diagnosis and changed some parts. There was no problem with the refrigerator other than that little bit of knocking sound from the ice maker. After they replaced the parts, the whole refrigerator stopped working. So we called them again for a follow-up and they said the compressor was gone and they would have to order a new compressor. It was a relatively new refrigerator and the compressor could not have just gone wrong without someone doing something wrong with the refrigerator. They said the wait time was 16 weeks so I reached out to American Home Shield. I told them that we can't wait that long for the compressor.

    First of all, the compressor should not have gone bad. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the fridge. The rep said that with Samsung refrigerators, when one thing is broken, as soon as you open them, everything starts to fall apart. But I don't buy that. The compressor has got nothing to do with the ice maker making a knocking sound.

    AHS offered me a buyout. They said they would give me $590 if I didn't want to wait and just get a replacement fridge or get a repair done myself. $590 for a $4,000 fridge seems completely unreasonable and I asked them if they can send another vendor for another look. They said they can't do that. But I can get another opinion and if someone else says that what was done by Expert Appliance was wrong or the diagnostic is wrong, then they will send another vendor to verify what my technician is saying and then decide what action they wanna take. So, it's just beating around the bushes. They know that someone will not live without an appliance as critical as a refrigerator for 16 weeks. And it was kind of just succumbing to whatever they're offering.

    AHS had allocated Express Appliance for the dryer too. It stopped every 10 minutes when it was programmed to dry. The diagnosis from Samsung was that there was something called a moisture sensor that might be faulty. Express Appliance’s tech did something on the dryer as well and now, the dryer is not working. So, two out of two appliances that they worked on were ruined. People should look for another provider that has better vendors in the network. I’ve been with American Home Shield for three months and they seem to go for vendors that are probably very cheap. Express Appliance has horrible reviews online. Even if you try to call their customer service, you can spend days and not be able to reach them. But the customer service agents with AHS are nice. The problem is that the company is run with a set of sketchy policies.

    I am not thrilled with American Home Shield. It's not like they say it is on TV. They sent a repairman who was not able to fix the appliance, and they sent a plumber who wasn't able to fix it. Sears came out a total of four times. I originally reported the problem September 26th. It was repaired Monday of this week. From September to December, but it was the beginning of December. It was two months-plus. I am seriously considering going with someone else. When I looked online at these kinds of companies, AHS doesn't get the greatest reviews. My husband signed up with this many years ago. My husband passed away and I've been dealing with it since. So, I'm not aware of what his experiences were because he took care of things. Now that I have to do it, it has not been a pleasant experience. There was a lot of back and forth and bad information, and repairmen who didn't know what they were doing.

    While I've been the one responsible for doing everything, AHS would make sure they collect their $89 a month. And when something goes wrong, they still want the $100 deductible. I'm not sure it's worth it. They would do everything humanly possible to fix an item before they would replace it. I would get emails trying to sell me additional services, like coming out and checking out my HVAC system but they wanna charge extra for that. It's not part of the service that they provide.

    You can't trust American Home Shield. They aren't holding up their end of the contract. They take premiums for at least four years. We have never been late with them. When I needed something done, AHS is impossible to work with. I've waited a whole week in the state of South Dakota for them to send someone out to fix the furnace in freezing temperatures and getting lied to every time I called them saying something would happen that day but it wouldn't. It's the worst experience I've had with a company.

    I had my furnace quit a week ago today. I called it in. I still have not got a service man out. I've had to call AHS. I logged every phone call. I couldn't understand the name of who I talk to. They're hard to understand. I've called them at least once a day. They kept saying that they would send someone and someone would be assigned by the end of the day. But I still don't have anybody.

    I had a dryer break a few years ago and AHS couldn't get anybody out here. They gave me permission to get someone. I did. I paid them. AHS said they would reimburse me. I had to go to the Better Business Bureau to get them to reimburse me because they kept saying they didn't get it. I mailed it. I also sent it via email. I told them exactly how I sent it, where I sent it. It was all correct. They kept saying they didn't get it. So, Better Business Bureau contacted them. They finally paid me. They still said they never got it. I should cancel AHS. But how can I cancel it when I have a furnace on the fritz? And I need them to hold up their end of the deal. I am unsatisfied.

    Every time you put the AC on the coldest temperature, it would start leaking inside the house.

It was the same company and they were supposed to come on that Wednesday too. I submitted the claim to the same lady that I did the first one. It was all on the same phone call.

    I got the service with American Home Shield because I got a new house and the owner offered me the home warranty.

It works perfectly but it's consuming half of my space. So, that wasn't okay. But right now, I like AHS. I haven't had any other situation other than the one with Rockstar Roofing.

    My heat pump is not working. I called American Home Shield to have a technician come out. They had a technician that came out on Monday that went by. He advised that he replaced something. He left shortly after. The heat pump stopped working again. On Monday I gave AHS a call to say it stopped working. Today is Friday and there has been no technician here. I called AHS. “What is happening? It's cold in my house. This is Maryland.” Every day AHS would say, “They should be reaching out.” No one has.

    The technician said, “Your heat pump is okay. We just needed to replace something that was low." Not completely gone. Low. So, now that my heat is working off auxiliary heat, if something was wrong, this is on AHS because the tech advised me that nothing was significantly wrong with the heat pump. He needed to replace whatever he claimed he replaced but that didn't fix it. AHS sent the same technician out that didn't fix it in the first place. So, I have no confidence that this would work. AHS has not been of any help to me. I had to reach out to get the contractor to make an appointment to come out and look at it again.

    Earlier this afternoon, I got the number for the company who AHS sent out. I gave them a call. I finally got someone to answer the phone. He said, “We're gonna call the technician. And we'll have someone come out tomorrow to look at the heat pump.” After this service, I may no longer be with AHS because that is horrible.

    I had a tenant move out and he said the garage door wasn't working. I couldn't get either of the two remotes to work. I called American Home Shield. For $125, they sent somebody out. The place is vacant. But I told them there's a painter inside the house. I said, "You have full access to the garage." I told them the garage number. They never even had to go into the house because the garage is separately detached. By the time they left, they had called and told me that they fixed it. But it was a fire safety hazard that it had been worked on previously. Somebody damaged the circuit board and there was a cover missing for something. I was not there so I didn't check if the remotes worked.

    I called AHS back and told them what the contractor told me. They submitted to them the same thing, that what happened wasn't normal wear and tear. So, AHS didn't cover it. I bought a new opener part of the garage door. I had it installed by Home Depot. They would install it later this week. In the meantime, I went down there and tried the two remotes I had in the garage door. It doesn't make any sound on the motor so it's still not working. I paid $125 for nothing. I called AHS back and told them that they didn't fix it and, "You're not gonna buy me new ones, so I want the $125 back for what they did. Because they said it worked and it doesn't." They put me on hold, transferred me to somebody else, and the call got disconnected. I'm disappointed being hung up on or disconnected, and not getting a call back knowing who they were talking to. That was rude. I wasn't happy with the service. It could be hit or miss depending on who you talk to.

    I don’t live full-time in the house and I went down and there was no heat. I called American Home Shield like I always do. I did it first thing on Monday morning and by lunchtime, Montgomery contacted me. I told the rep what my problem was and she said she had a technician just finishing up the road from me and would send him down. The tech was polite and knew what he was doing. He said the conductors outside and inside were both burned and he replaced them. And now the heat is running so I’m good. I would want 100% this service technician to come if I ever had another issue because he was a senior technician. He did his job and I couldn't ask for anything more. It was perfect.

    I've had to have a couple of claims over all the years that I've had American Home Shield, and I've had it at both houses at one time. The plumbers that I had to use were nice. They were good but it took days and there were different issues. Sometimes that happens. But this service call was above and beyond. It was the least wait time and the most efficient work executed in the most professional manner of any service call I've ever had through a company through American Home Shield.

    I was going to drop AHS last spring because the cost of everything is getting outrageous and I was having to cut down on different aspects. So this was one of the first that was gonna go, because it's a hit or miss, and I have to pay $150 on top of what I pay every month to get the service call out there. But the woman who contacted me when I was gonna drop it said she would give me three months and if I decide that I still don't want it, then I drop it.

    If you got a brand new house, don't worry about it. But if you've got a home that is a little bit older, just like a car that's a little bit older, there’s some comfort there with AHS, knowing that you've got back up if something major were to go out. If the whole air conditioning or heating unit went out, that would be a big issue so that would justify paying every month and then paying for a service call. AHS had to replace a refrigerator before and that helped. That was a good thing although I had to wait for months and months. And it was not the easiest situation. It was kind of ridiculous but that's different, because there's always a circumstance, and that was during the pandemic.

    American Home Shield would respond very quickly and efficiently as always. There isn't an online option for our heating unit. I just had to call it in instead of doing it online. I made the service request in a weekend evening. They got back within a reasonable amount of time. They identified the issue. They weren't able to fix the specific issue that day and were able to come back before Thanksgiving to fix the issue. Good experience there.

    If you don't have a warranty, you need to get one, and you need to get with American Home Shield. I noticed that the furnace would stay on for a little while, but would go out. I waited a bit, thinking maybe I needed to reset the thermostat. I again tried to turn it on. Instead of having it on auto, I put heat on on and it lit. It was fine. But it turned off again. I went online and filled out the claim of what I needed. AHS called me back either the same day or the next day and had somebody at my house within that week to come out. It was very easy.

    The contractor was very professional. They answered my questions. They always gave me a realistic expectation of how long it would take them to take care of the issue. They didn't tell me, “We can do it right now.” They gave me, “Based on the situation, it may take longer than what you may be expecting. Is that okay? Do you want me to come back?” They always informed me what they needed to do. The tech had to come back, he did, and it was fine. They called me before they came. Whatever they fixed works now.

    American Home Shield is hit or miss. Either you hit it good like I did with the guy with the plumbing or you hit it bad with the people that are working on my furnace. We had a leaking pipe on a toilet. I received a notice from AHS that I submitted a claim. I also received an email or text that Tom Melton had been assigned to it, and they would call with an appointment. They did. The guy showed up. He was professional and knowledgeable. He put a new bolt on our water line that leaked and tightened that up and made sure that that was okay. He told me to take a picture of the spot on the ceiling and wait a month and compare the spot in a month. If it hasn't gotten bigger, we would know that was the problem. He looked at another thing on another toilet for us while he was here.

    Getting ahold of AHS is not as easy as it seems. I would have to navigate through their phone thing to get to a person. It usually wants me to do it automated or online. I'm in the middle of another claim for my furnace and it has not been going well. It frustrates me. I like the service because AHS would fix things in our house that I would not have to pay a lot of money out of pocket for. However, they don't replace a lot of items. They continually fix the same problem. They don't remedy the situation. This is the third time our furnace had the same problem. Instead of replacing it, they just keep fixing it. Some of the companies they send are less than desirable. They sent a furnace team out who didn't have the parts to fix my furnace. So, they had to order them. Don't get AHS because you don't get to pick who you want to fix your house. It would be nice to have a say in who comes.

    My most recent claim experience with AHS was okay. Submitting the claim was fairly easy. My furnace wasn't coming on. The tech who came out was great. He repaired it. AHS is okay. It just takes a long time for the contractor to get in touch with you. Or if your product breaks, it's hard to get it replaced. Because I've had them for so long, I've run into those problems. When my refrigerator went out, it took a long time. For my washer, if they couldn't repair it, it just takes forever to get them replaced. But other than that, I have no complaints. However, when I started, I was paying $50 a month. Now, I'm paying almost $100 a month. It went up drastically. Pretty expensive.

I submitted a claim through the website of AHS. Their website's great.

    The techs who came out were very professional, quick with the repair and thorough. They took the time to explain exactly what the issue was and what they did to fix it. I had asked some other questions that they took the time to answer as well. They were clean. They came in and made sure that their feet were covered with their booties to not trap things through my my house and my carpet. I was very satisfied with them.

    So far, AHS has been great to work with. I've had a couple of other issues that they resolved pretty promptly. I like the quickness of their response.

When I called American Shield, the rep took all the information down. She called the clients that they assigned us to and left a message. The clients called us back to schedule a time to come.

But American Home Shield did a wonderful job with just seeing it from start to finish as much as they could and getting me in contact with the people to do the service.

    He had to leave to get a piece when he found out that it was a busted pipe. It took him an hour and a half to two hours. But a lot of it was him testing just to make sure nothing else was busted. He went above and beyond and did it in a timely manner and was very professional. He did a really good job. He was very thorough. He explained it to my husband, showed him what he was fixing.

    We had a recent refrigerator repair. It was dead. The compressor was broken and the sealant system was leaking. We had the third service technician to come out to look at the problem. They sent the wrong person because American Home Shield didn't specify the closed sealing system was the issue, and that needed a specialist. American Home Shield neglected to indicate that on the referral they made to Bay Appliance. So Bay Appliance just sent a normal tech. He said, "The compressor is dead. But the sealant system needs our expert to look at it." That was all very frustrating.

    That was the end of the rope and that was when I had requested to pay cash-in-lieu of repair payments. We finally got that. But the whole whole thing took two and a half to three weeks of us living without a refrigerator freezer and it was a holiday weekend. We just went out and bought a new refrigerator on our own. And they've approved a payment last Wednesday. They said it should be available in three business days. Today is day number three business day but we still haven't gotten the payment yet. This is ny second year with AHS. Generally, the techs of AHS have been good. But it's a slow process to get one out. Once they assign, they have to set up an appointment and that usually takes several days.

    For my recent claim with AHS, the heat wasn't turning on. When someone came out to my house, it was over a week. It was not a good experience. But it was on the end of May Heating and Air though. It wasn't on the end of American Home Shield. They were able to get me up and going. What they said was that they called me and no one answered. But I was sitting here. I was at the house. They were saying that two different people called me, but I did not receive a phone call. By the time I called in, because no one had made it here during that window, they were saying they would have to reschedule me. They said that since a holiday was coming up, it would be the next week before someone could come out. It was the first time something like this had happened to them.

    But I would recommend AHS, because of the ease of being able to book the appointment. It'll tell you they've received your request. It tells you it has been assigned. Then it'll tell you it's in progress. You don't have to get on the phone and you don't have to wonder where you are in the process of it and when they get ready to debit your account for the 125.

Then he went back and said we needed to install a new drain thing. On the second one, he said we needed two spouts in the bathroom. On the third one which was the garbage disposal, he said it's broken because the metal part of the disposal broke and that metal went to the garbage disposal and broke it further. He said he was going to put the request for the authorization.

    American Home Shield said that the metal was put up from outside but the metal was a part of the head of the disposal itself that grinds the food. The claim was denied totally. The other things can wait, but I can't function in the kitchen without the garbage disposal. It's already been eight weeks and I've made 30 calls. Every time I called over, they escalated it. The plumber is saying that he already called American Home Shield six times and explained the issue, that it was a part of the thing itself and was not something that I did. But American Home Shield is not even listening to their contractors. They are also not very flexible.

    I have multiple properties with American Home Shield and it's very difficult to schedule with them. It takes weeks. One time, the refrigerator was not even attended but they closed the claim. I had to fight a lot to get the refrigerator fixed. At another house, they kept coming for a refrigerator. We did at least 10 calls and same parts were replaced but it was never fixed.

It's a cushion between repairs and having to file a claim with my homeowners insurance. Recently, a technician fixed the leak I had with my toilet. However, the roofing company that came didn't do much. For the fee that I pay every month and for the amount that I had to do for copay, it wasn't enough.

All the gentleman did was tell me about his experience and that he had been doing it for a really long time. But he didn't say anything about what needed to be done to the roof. He just told me there was nothing there. But it was still leaking and we had to do something different. I went to the escalation department and they refunded the $100 back. If I ever had to call about my roof, I don't wanna ever see those people again.

    We've been with American Home Shield for 15 years. Once a year, they'll send out a thing to renew. It's $100 a month, but it's worth having. They used to cover more though. Also, the cost from the freon is ridiculous. It was 600 bucks on my recent claim. I know what it costs to buy it if I went to the store myself. Every time there's ever a problem, for whatever reason, that's always the hugest cost out there. American Home Shield needs to control that with anybody that they hire because that can go as high as $100 a pound and they only cover $10 on the plan I'm with. Covering $10 for freon is ridiculous in this day and age.

    Recently, Comfort Cooling came out. The repairman, Sam, kept his word and was punctual. He communicated if he was running late. He was very thorough, broke down the charges and explained things on a basic level where I could explain it to the wife. However, my complaint with American Home Shield is they didn't have a breakdown of what the charges were for. It can't just say $600 and not show what it's going to. But the rest of it seems to be okay. It's pretty easy to maneuver and go around.

    American Home Shield works. I've been a long time customer of theirs and I've gotten their contractors to show up here and have had my issues resolved. But my issue is the overall process is a little slow. It takes a long time for their contractors to get in the house. When you file a claim, you'll get a robotic response that tells you it's gonna be two or three days to get the provider to contact you. The process, even though it seems to be mostly automated, has a lot of time built in to it.

    With appliances where you're dealing with plumbers and electricians who have incredibly busy schedules, I understand that they're not just gonna drop everything and go to your house because American Home Shield is paying them. But the process could be streamlined. For example, American Home Shield confirmed that I had an appointment, but it wasn't the day that I had the appointment. There's a little bit of a disconnect between the service provider's and American Home Shield's information.

    On my most recent claim, the water break happened on a Monday before Thanksgiving so I knew there were going to be issues about getting somebody there. On two different occasions, I needed to follow up with the contractor and in both cases, miraculously, the phone was answered immediately, which is not at all common with service providers. They managed expectations about when they could get there. Unfortunately, it was about 10 days, but they told me it was gonna take that. Then they showed up on the day that they said they would, which is in my experience, great.

    What tends to happen is that initial appointment gets bumped. It becomes a day or two days later. In this case, they also asked for pictures and when they showed up on that day, they knew exactly what they were going to do. I'd filed a claim on my air conditioner and on my microwave. What happens often is the technician will show up, look at the problem, say a part is needed then go away for another two weeks. In comparison, this was the best experience I've ever had with American Home Shield. It sucked to wait 10 days but at least, like other incidents, it didn't drag out to multiple appointments.

    My furnace wasn't turning on. I went on the AHS website, clicked through some prompts, and entered my information. The process was easy. They contacted me a day later, then a guy came out and looked at the furnace. He evaluated the situation, then he told me what the problem was, that he would submit it to American Home Shield, and they would decide if they would repair or replace it. The next day, I got a text that said they would replace it. Then, they scheduled the replacement and I had to wait four days because it was over the weekend.

    Also, I was called by the company, Hansen Mechanical, and they told me that I owed them a significant amount of money because certain aspects of the repair were not going to be covered by my warranty and that I had to pay them immediately the entire amount or they couldn't schedule the repair. So, that was very upsetting. But then the guy came out and he started replacing it. Then for whatever reason, something happened and he left. Two other guys came and they were the ones who finished the install. My house is warm now.

    I've been with AHS for over 10 years because I'm a single person. I know that repairs could be pretty costly and I wanted some kind of protection against that. Although this time I found out that they changed the way they do their plans and I ended up having to fork out a significant amount of money for this repair unexpectedly. Also, the service call fees are twice what they were when I first got my coverage. So, that's not great. Aside from that, their customer service is frustrating because it is all out of the country and you're dealing with people who don't have English as a first language. Plus, they can't answer questions with careful thought and they are only allowed to read scripts.

    The tech came over and saw the leak. But he didn't check anything out. He just said that it was going to have to be replaced right off the bat. My water heater and generator are hooked up pretty much together. And they are too close. So, he added some additional stuff that I don't think is necessary and it brought the bill to $1,700. With American Home Shield covering most of it, it shouldn't have came up to $1,700. I wanted to buy out and AHS gave me almost 300 some dollars. They suck too. So, I'm looking for a different home warranty because that was a slap in the face to me and I didn't appreciate 300 some dollars for a water heater.

    We've had the service with AHS for so many years and it's been good. I like it because I don't have to go and try and find somebody to come in and do repairs. I can just call American Home Shield, and hopefully, it's right. But there were times when there were incidents happened and we paid into it. And when something is broken in our home, we expect them to come out and fix it. Sometimes the claims process with AHS is easy. But I had a big problem in the summer when we first started with the units because the person Is poke with on the phone put the wrong information in. So, that was a drawn-out process and stressful process. I put in the claim in the beginning of May and the techs initially came out in May, but they did not finish that job until August.

    I had another problem with them when they repaired my washer. The guy came out and he broke the tray. I called back and AHS wanted me to pay for another fee. I didn't think that was right, so I never got it fixed. But I wish I had because the water drips out on the floor when you pull the tray out. Aside from that, a lot of times now, it's aggravating when you're speaking to someone at AHS and they don't understand what you're saying and you don't understand what they're saying because they weren't taught to speak English and I was not taught to speak their language.

    Other than that, we had our heat and air units done in the summer and I really thought that when the techs put new units outside, both the heat and air both would work. So far, the heat and air unit upstairs worked, but when I turned the heat on downstairs, it would not work. The techs came out and I had to pay $100, which I didn't think was right because if one worked, the other one should have been working as well. The techs came out that Wednesday before Thanksgiving and they said that where they get their parts from, the store closed earlier that day. So, they were going to come back and they came back this past Monday. All in all, I would tell my friends that they need to purchase the warranty because when something breaks, sometimes people may not be able to afford to pay the full price to get a water heater or a dishwasher replaced. But usually, they can come up with $100. So, it's a great service to have.

    When my ceiling had a leak, I contacted American Home Shield and with that particular service order, they told me that it was on me because I didn't do the pre-season free checkup for that year. What had happened was the drip pan had spilled over and caused the leak. The only other claim that I can remember having before that was I had problems with my water. So, they sent out someone, but I didn't have any problems with that.

    Overall, I'm not gonna say American Home Shield is great. It's okay. I have ran into some problems with some of the items that was covered under the contract as far as them going back and forth with me, and having it escalated. I didn't understand when they say, "Okay, this is covered," but they might come back and say, "Okay, this part is covered, but this particular job is not covered for the part." It's a hit or miss. The only reason I continue the warranty is because I did try to do a little window shopping and, just based on a lot of people feedback from some of the other warranties, it seems like American Home Shield was better than some of the other ones out there.

    I have had a refrigerator replaced. When I moved into my home and purchased my home, one of the closing things on the table was for the previous seller to purchase a contract for the appliances because they were old. They didn't want me to inherit any problems with those appliances moving into the home. That was the main reason for American Home Shield. So, I decided to keep it. They did replace my refrigerator because they couldn't get the part. It was an older model refrigerator. And then, it was the same with the dishwasher. When I moved in, it wasn't working, and then American Home Shield did replace that as well.

We have four bathrooms. We couldn’t flush the toilets. We couldn't use the water. The guy told me then this will be considered as an emergency and it will be expedited. I put that call in on Saturday. Nobody got assigned until a day or two later. That was unacceptable.

    And then when the plumber got here, they said they do emergency calls. So, they had me thinking that they were working all day and night to try to find somebody, but the people that came out said that they do emergency calls and they weren't notified. So, to me, it felt like there was no urgency. Then you're talking to a bunch of different foreigners and they are giving you information. This person say one thing. This person say another thing.

    When I finally got assigned to a plumber, the lady tells me that it was just a normal ticket put in. It wasn't expedited. But the whole time, I was told that it was an emergency ticket and that it was expedited. So, she told me to contact American Home Shield back again, let them know that if they don't switch it over, then they gotta take me off the schedule.

    When I called, the lady said, “Oh, well, it doesn't show that it's expedited on this.” And I'm like, “Ma'am, I've been told from the beginning that it was an emergency and it would be expedited. Now, you're telling me something different, and now you're telling me you have to get it approved.” So, I was so irritated at this point because I don't know if they don't have enough vendors anymore. I don't know what's going on. I've been with them for years, and I don't recall having this much issues with American Home Shield since the last two years. Their service has not been great.

    I don't know if they just hiring people overseas, barely speaking English. They're not giving you accurate information. It’s not being noted in their account. So, if you talk to one person, they say this. Another person could say, "This wasn't said." It's just horrible. It's horrible. I had them for past two years, but then I dropped them once because of this issue. And then I said, “Let me give them a try again.” Now, I'm having this issue again. I'm shopping for new places because I'm like, “This can't be.” If you pay every month, and then the price went up for the service call, but the level of service is not going up, that's the problem.

    American Home Shield is a good company but you have to stay on top of stuff. They are only as good as the people they subcontract. The people are fine, but the communication falls short for me. Sears never came out. AHS showed on the website that I had an appointment with Sears on November 29th. Not only did that never occur, but it was never scheduled that way. Sears texted me it would be on December 2, and that it would be between 8:00 and 5:00. That appointment never happened on the Friday and on Tuesday. I canceled it because I couldn't sit here from 8:00 to 5:00. Majestic Appliance came out yesterday to put in a new icemaker and the day before to do the analysis and determination of what needed to be done.

    When I spoke to people at Majestic, they were very nice and helpful. The technician who came here to figure it out and the second time yesterday to put it in was a nice guy. But getting in touch with Majestic is harder than getting in touch with the President of the United States. The people were great when I could reach them. However, they do not answer the phone during the day. They would ask me to leave a message. Also, my technician arrived an hour late yesterday on a four-hour window. 1:00 to 5:00, he arrived at 6:00. No one from Majestic called me to inform me he was running late and/or coming or not.

    I called Majestic four times. I couldn't get a person. I called AHS. They put me on hold. Majestic picked up for them and said the tech was in traffic. He would be here. Somebody should have called me. A four-hour window is reasonable, but when I call at 4:30 to try to find out what was going on and I couldn't reach anyone, and I have to call AHS and be on hold for 10 minutes there to do that, the whole process as far as communicating is not working as well as it should.

    I have the contractor come out in the spring and in the winter to do a tune-up or an inspection of my heating and air conditioning system. Price A/C & Heating came out about four weeks ago to do the furnace and they noticed that there were some issues with my system. So, I called American Home Shield and went over the issues. 75% were covered under my warranty and I paid for the issues that weren't covered and had the contractor come back out. There is good communication with the techs that AHS sends out as to when they're gonna get there and they show up when they say they’re gonna show up. They're courteous and let me know what's going on. So, it's been good. The biggest issue I have with a lot of companies is sometimes, it's impossible to speak to a human being.

    There's a Facebook page in town of homeowners and somebody said they needed a home warranty service. Everyone said that American Home Shield is the best. So, I started looking for information. I’m happy with the coverage I have with them. I had a leak in my faucet and the repair guys replaced the hose which had gone bad. They walked me through the whole process and said they had a hose in their truck. They got it and fixed the hose and showed me when it was done, that there was no issue. And they fixed the leak. They were friendly and very pleasant to work with. I enjoyed having them do the work.

    In this case, submitting the claim through American Home Shield’s website was fine. It asked what the problem was. But sometimes with other claims, the options I’m given don’t capture what the problem is and there’s no option to put it in. It'd be nice to have a chance to expand on something. But AHS is quick. I put in an order and within 15 minutes, I got a call from the contractor.

    My blower unit wasn't blowing air. I did the claim online and the website was good. It was easy to use, quick and easy. Within five minutes, I did the claim. The contractor came out and fixed it. They did what they were supposed to do. They were very professional. They were upfront. They told me exactly what they were looking for and what they found. They told me they weren't sure if they had the part readily available and if they did, they would be back that afternoon. If not, the latest would be at the next day. They came back within two hours with the part and completed it. Everything is perfect.

    Their service is top-notch. I had a problem. I was dreading to call but I called and actually, they responded to me within 24 hours. I missed the call because we had a late night and I slept in late. The guy said he rang the doorbell and knocked. Nobody was here. But they still came back within two days. What I like most about American Home Shield's service is that in 24 hours, you can put in a claim. You don't have to worry about paying a big out-of-pocket expense if you didn't have it. It's a lot easier to pay a little bit every month for the insurance rather than have a balloon payment when something happens. Also, the reps were very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend them. But I hope they can keep the service fee down because that can be a distraction for a lot of people.

The service is provided in a timely manner and I never had an issue with any of the companies that have come out. But just like any insurance, I don't ever feel that the money I paid into the warranty is returned. I ended up still having to pay almost $1,400 for having my hot water heater replaced, which I know would have been a whole lot more.

    The stove’s pilot light went out and I called it in over the phone. On the second visit, the contractor came out and although the situation was funny, it worked out fine. I told him the stove wasn’t broken, but he kept saying he sold stoves and this and that as if I was just trying to get a new stove. I said I loved old things and antiques, and as long as the stove cooks, I was fine with it. I will repaint it if needed but it didn’t have a handle, which the kids had been complaining about, saying they couldn’t open it. The contractor asked if I had the handle but I didn’t know where it was at the time. I told the kids to just use the mittens.

    When my daughter was home by herself and tried to use the oven, smoke started pouring out. She panicked and said it was a lot of smoke. I assumed it was likely grease buildup since the stove had been sitting broken for a while. But I didn’t want to mess with gas or electrical issues so the contractor came and checked it out. The stove was old and the contractor confirmed that the smoke was from the grease and gas. Since then, they've been cooking on the stove. I’ve had the contractor before for a refrigerator issue, and it was bad. I ended up losing food. Somebody else came out and said I needed a new refrigerator, and he gave me another one. I got the cheapest one. It wasn’t a big-name brand. But that first contractor was strict when it comes to deciding if you need a new product.

    My aunt told us about American Home Shield and I've even referred some people and loved getting the referral things once they got it. My mom had a broken washer and dryer and American Home Shield replaced it. And I got it. It was a struggle for me. Paying that bill is like paying car insurance but it's important. AHS has helped me so much. I've had been in my house with no heat as well as no air and I've had electrical stuff. When my ceiling was caving in water and I had plumbing issues, AHS was there for me. I hope it doesn't change because some new stuff is coming in my email. Sometimes people change things so you can lose the services. If AHS could keep it the way that it is, it's fine.

    I like most that everything in my home is covered. I wish though that AHS had services on the weekends because my heater broke and I gotta sit in the cold for a day or so. Another thing is the water heater. Like now, we got cold water for a week. I hope the price doesn't keep going up either because my dad is 75 years old and he's complaining now.

He could have called me on the phone and asked me was the item completely broken before coming. I ended up paying $120 out of pocket but he did nothing. I talked to American Home Shield and they were willing to give me half my money back, which I accepted, but I should have gotten all of it back.

I was really happy that he wasn't there for very long. He didn't have to take everything apart. The furnace is keeping my house so nice and warm.

    A tech came out for my light fixture in the basement. When you walk into the basement, it's not getting electric. So, he checked all the outlet to see why it was not getting power to the actual switch for the light. He said that in the wall that was causing it not to get electric. But I don't want my walls torn up right now, so I'm just gonna live with it. But the tech was very thorough and answered all my questions. He was good.

    The customer service reps at American Home Shield are very good. They're using people from the Philippines and then afterward, they asked, "Did you understand the person?" As an American, I can hire somebody who understands English. But when I speak to them, I don't understand them. So they've realized that now because they asked that specific question, "Did you understand what they were saying?" When I don't understand, I hang up and call again. So they're aware of hiring people who are proficient in English without being able to actually interview them and hear their English. So I was very impressed with that.

    The contractor came and messed my shower. The water started coming out by the floor. They wouldn't come back and fix it. The tech wouldn't even talk. I told him it sounded like something was leaked under the house. And my shower in my bathroom in my little den thing wasn't draining. The day they came, they put some black thing in there. The tech told me it would be fine. They would come back when it dried up and check up under the house and see about the leak. He did my little bathtub thing and pumped in it.

    Later on that night, we were getting ready to get in the shower to take a shower, and we turned it on. All the water pushed up out the floor. But the tech wanted to talk and put something on a paper that he gave American Home Shield, talking about some dirt. Whatever happened with that shower that made that water push out, he did it. He put that thing in there. But he hasn't been back since. AHS gave me the runaround. I got tired of expressing myself about it. The tech tried to talk smart to me and my momma.

    It's easy to file the claims and American Home Shield does a good job of tracking that the deductible and whatever the difference is are paid. There was a leak with the main that we noticed and we called and got someone to come out. They ended up fixing the leak. However, they couldn't turn the water back on. They made us call the city first thing in the morning to shut the water off. They said, "Okay. Call us and we'll come by after you confirm the water's shut off." We called them and they told us over the phone that they would be able to turn the water on. They were able to stop the leak, but they couldn't turn the water on.

    Once they fixed the leak, they said, "We don't have the right tool." I said, "What are we supposed to do?" They said, "You have to call another plumber." We had to call another plumber and pay him $700 to turn our water back on because they didn't have the proper tool. We were a little pissed off. We had to go a full day without water and wait and call someone else to get them to turn it on. I'm not happy with it.

    American Home Shield has been very nice and professional. They responded. They connected us quickly. It was the group of folks they connected us with that weren't upfront about what they could have done. We would have gone a different route if we knew they wouldn't be able to get our water on. We just assumed that was something they should know.

    We had a problem with our microwave. The door was broken and the ice maker wouldn't produce ice. I did a claim through American Home Shield's app. The app was good. Kasanet came out. They texted me saying that they would be coming during a particular time. I asked if we could reschedule. They said they can only do the morning. So, I took off from work to meet them and they didn't show up. I texted them saying, "Where are you?" They said, "Oh, we're running behind. It'll be another two hours." I was like, "I have to be at work. And you told me a time frame, I was here, you guys weren't."

    I felt like they cost me a lot of money at work. They finally came in the afternoon when my wife could be here. They did their thing and took a look at it and diagnosed it. They went down and took a look at the microwave and took measurements. They also took a look at the ice maker and looked at serial numbers. The microwave could not be fixed. So, it got submitted for a replacement. That replacement came in and has been installed by a different provider.

    In the meantime, they were supposed to get a part. I can see in the system that the part was delivered to them, but they still have not fixed it. I've contacted them repeatedly and I've contacted American Home Shield asking for help on this. Right now, I don't know what to do. It's not being repaired. While American Home Shield overall has been positive, dealing with Kasanet has been extremely negative. I have recommended AHS to friends. However, I tell them that sometimes the providers can be hit or miss.

    Somebody was just out to look at our dryer again. A couple of months ago, my wife told me that the dryer wasn't drying the clothes. The guy came out and said that he thought the vent may have been clogged and that we needed to get it unclogged. And if it wasn't that, it was probably the thermostat. So, we paid a company to come out and clean out the stuff. The vent got cleaned out and it still wasn't drying. So, we had them come back out. The guy supposedly, from what my wife said, replaced the thermostat. And just the other day she told me that she was running the clothes four times to get them to dry but it was still not working. When I called American Home Shield, they said it had been too long since the last time they were out. It was more than 30 days. So, we had to pay for a new visit. I paid that and the guy came out. He looked at it and said he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He didn't know what to do with it.

    So far, the service with AHS has been spotty. Sometimes you have to call the vendor and tell them, "Hey, look, you got an order from American Home Shield. I need you to get out here and get this done." But when you do that, it's like, "Well, the first opening we have is in two weeks." AHS doesn't pay a lot of money, and the companies that they contract with are in the game to make money. So, when they're getting contractors, they're getting people that are starting business or don't have much business and they think American Home Shield warranty is gonna be good for them. When it's not, it's not. It just doesn't work great.

    All the people that you're talking to when you make the call want to do is get the service fee. It's like they don't even care about what your problem is. It's like, "Well, before we go any further, we have to get your service fee." It's like, "I haven't even explained what the problem is yet." So, it's not customer-oriented. And most of the people that you're talking to at American Home Shield sound like a third-party vendor over in Malaysia. It's all foreign people who don't understand much English.

    In some of the more rural areas, there's nobody to service things. And if they have somebody come, they're coming from a distance. So, they tend to put your appointment farther out. We've had situations where we have not had somebody come out. One of them was for the plumber the first time. I called the company that was recommended because I hadn't heard from them, and they said, "Well, we don't service your area." I called Home Shield and complained about it and they got somebody else. We had to wait two weeks and when your water is not working, that's not a good thing. There was a company that came out that was part of the contract, and they were really good. A shower wasn't working the way it was supposed to, and the tech fixed it.

    A master bedroom furnace did not come on and it wasn't heating. So, I called American Home Shield and we paid the service fee and Royal Flush came out here and looked at it. The service was completed, and the furnace came back on. They changed one of the components so that it could start heating up again. Everything is going well. The techs were very cordial. This is not the first time I had the company out. They had replaced two of our ACs. So, I had requested them. The other ones that were sent to repair were not very good. AHS has also been very nice because I called them back and said that one of the other contractors they sent for my AC was not very professional because they didn't know what they were doing.

    I've got nothing but good things to say about Royal Flush and AHS. There were out-of-pocket expenses for me, but that's understandable. Any time it comes to money, I like to save as much as I can but their price is okay. There can be some improvement in their software. When you have multiple units like the furnace, you can't specify which furnace and how many services you need on it. We have three. So, when and if another one fails, I will have to call because it would say, "The furnace is under warranty, call the Royal Flush," but it's not under warranty because it's a separate furnace. Other than that, I've referred multiple people with no expectation of any incentive from AHS. There are four of my friends who are already customers of AHS. I told them, "Call them when you have a problem and explain what the situation is. You can actually do that online. And so far, I've not had any challenges with AHS."

    It's very easy to submit a work request with American Home Shield. That process is streamlined. I did the online request on a Friday. The contractor was there on Monday. It was very quick. While I've been very happy with Expert Pools, sometimes the service providers, when we need them, are not available to come quickly. For example, if our AC went out in the summer, it might take four or five days to get a technician, which is not acceptable. If we had a plumbing stoppage, which happens at our old house, it may take two days to get a plumber to us. That also is not acceptable because it's a stoppage. We can't run water. Also, some of the service providers are not of the quality and caliber I would hope for. They are not super responsive. But Expert Pools is an outlier. They are exceptional.

I decided I will call directly AHS and if they can deal with that technician since there was the one who choice him and send him to my house. I was patiently waited over 2weeks for any kind of respond.

    I decided to google the company they send to my house. And I discover shocking review on Yelp, how the company is not even licensed, how AHS hire this kind of company for purpose of denial of coverage. I could not even read anymore. I was keep calling AHS twice a week to try move forward. After almost a month I receive phone call back, then they will send me another technician for no aditional cost. Oh Great! Let me google them as well, so I will know this company is legit.

    "Ukon appliances repair".. wow another bad company with over 300 shocking bad reviews, mention AHS company recommend them to their clients. This is not ok, people paying their money to be covered to "spam companies" who just collecting the payments, but they have 0 interest to help their clients and keep their words!! I request refund and cancelation. They refund me only partial what I paid for warranty, but they didn't refund me the deductible what I paid for estimate for unlicensed spam company!

    If you're looking for a company that promises to cover everything up until the moment you purchase the policy, and nothing the moment after you purchase the policy, this is the company for you! I even had the good sense to buy up on the warranty period and throw in a few additional covered items as well! Move in to house day 1: Walk into kitchen, water dripping from ceiling onto kitchen island. Big bummer, but, NO PROBLEM - I've got coverage!

    Plumber shows up. Shows me where it's leaking. Photos attached. The leak is above the tile on a deck mount jacuzzi tub. Great. I know the source of the leak. We tested the drain, found no leaks. I'm happy. I had a problem, but it's fixable. But my plumber got his tools robbed that day, so he had almost no tools with him. And then he tells me that the leak is also 'probably' somewhere below the tile and the tile would have to be ripped out to verify. And he can't do that. He can only do the plumbing. Ok, still, no problem. If it takes a little longer, I can wait. I'm going to live here a long time and I want it done right.

    Day 3: American Home Shield tells me it's not covered because the leak is below the tile and they won't cover anything behind an unexposed surface. I lost my temper. Day 3 or 4 (the days start to blur here): I cooled off. I explained to American Home Shield that the actual location of the leak is above the exposed surface. Just as the plumber showed me. I sent pictures as they requested. I hear back from them that it still isn't going to be covered. Even though I sent pictures showing that it was an exposed surface where there was a leak. But, nope. Not covered. "The determination has already been made." Day 4: It's Thanksgiving day. I decided not to let this upset me. Just move on, pay what you shouldn't have to pay. Fix what you shouldn't have to fix. And reflect on all the times I let other people down and be grateful for all the good people, opportunities and things I've been blessed with.

    Day 7: Called local handyman. He was delightful. He opened up the faucet, saw the two dried out o-rings and confidently said "that's your problem right there. This is easy to fix. Those washers are only a few bucks." He fixed in in about 4 minutes. No leaks. But I told him: "Listen, I had a professional plumber come out here. These guys were recommended by American Home Shield who insures thousands of homes throughout the country. Their plumber said it's also leaking below the tile. I can't run this tub unless we do what they say." So he chisels out one tile, videos the plumbing underneath. No leaks. I go to the tub and look for myself. I didn't believe him. I looked myself, ran the water for a long time. No leaks. But I've got mortar dust throughout the whole bathroom and bedroom and I've got a 12" x 12" hole in my tub wall that also needs to be fixed now.

    Day 9: I hear from American Home Shield. I explain everything. I tell them that they should reimburse me for the local handyman and to replace the tile. Nope. Not covered. I ask to speak with a supervisor. Nope. The determination has been documented and made. I asked 2 or 3 times to speak with a supervisor. Nope. No can do.

    Long post. Sorry. But I don't think anyone should waste the money on these guys. It's a bill of goods. It's false peace of mind. This is a typical insurance company that knows it's cheaper to reject claims and fight a few people than to pay all the claims they should pay. Their brochure is very misleading. You have to read what is covered and what is not covered very carefully. Read it a few times and let it sink in. It's subtly sneaky language. It doesn't cover anything that is not "exposed." Think about that for a minute.. About 99% of your electrical, plumbing and infrastructure is behind walls, cabinets, tile. All the things you are worried about - all the things that you want covered - all the things that your home inspection could not see, that you want to cover with this insurance - they are not covered.

    And, just to rub your nose in it, faucets that are exposed - that should be covered according to the sneaky agreement - Well, sorry buddy. Those aren't covered either. As I was told about three times: "The determination has already been made." You'll spend a ton less money and headache if you just find a local handyman. Keep it in the community instead of giving it to a big, greedy corporation that kicks you when you're down.

    I am now on week 6 of waiting for my washing machine to be repaired. This company used to be better, but now they leave it to you to negotiate timelines with the contractor. In spite of acknowledging this is an unreasonable resolution time, they don't do anything to help you. At this point I have spent 100s of dollars between the laundromat, the service fee, and the $90 a month they charge. I could have purchased my own new washing machine and saved myself hours of calls trying to get this issue resolved. I am incredibly unhappy with this service and hope that others do not get suckered into thinking it will be helpful to them and their families.

    A spring went on my garage door, so I filed a thing with AHS to have the techs come out. They came and fixed this spring. Then, three weeks later and the day before Thanksgiving, I noticed that it wasn't closing all the way. So there was a gap at the top and the bottom. I waited until Monday because of the holiday then I called AHS. They said that it was outside of the 30 days by two days, so they didn't make me pay the service fee again and the techs were going to come back out. And the girl called me to schedule it. But my husband happened to fix. So, I told the girl that we didn't need it and she said to go on and cancel it so that the techs would get the notification that the appointment was canceled. So yesterday, I canceled it.

    I decided to get AHS because our home is older and you never know what could happen. I've had the warranty for at least three years and we've used it a couple of times. But I thought that we had coverage on our air conditioner and we ended up financing the whole air conditioner. We got $1,000 off but I didn't realize that the warranty wasn't going to help us very much in that case. Other than that, it has worked out good on some things. But to anyone considering getting the warranty, they should look into what the coverage is before they sign up.

    The dryer did not dry all the way and made this loud squealing noise. Once the repairman opened it up, he found that there was a wheel system that made the drum roll and that little apparatus with the wheel on it gave out. We would either get it fixed right then and there or it would be eventually a catastrophic failure. He had what he needed to fix it. We also had our washer replaced. However, the first couple of times when we had a similar problem with the dryer, the guy didn't wanna do anything with it. But overall, it has been a good experience with American Home Shield. We haven't had to wait as long as a week, but it all depends on what they have on their schedule.

The technician came today and he has to order the parts. Before that, I had a claim for my dryer and the person they sent out was good but my dryer still isn't working up to par. I don't think it was the right door because it's still not closing all the way. AHS has been pretty good with me but the few times that I called in, the person didn't really seem that knowledgeable. She just kept repeating what I was saying. I don't know if she understood it or what. She didn't really speak English very well.

    American Home Shield gets things done as quickly as possible. Sometimes I would have to wait. The longest I waited one time for plumbing was about five days because it was winter and everybody was booked. But most of the time, things have been taken care of expeditiously. It's usually two to three days. The only thing that I don't like about it is I never get to talk to a person if I had a question. It was always just the computer.

    I got a new furnace, a new air conditioner, two new water heaters, a new dryer, a new stove, a new refrigerator, a new dishwasher, and all my fans have been fixed. I've had multiple plumbing issues. I couldn't be happier. A-1 Haney came out to my house because they had to put a new waterline to a new dishwasher that was installed. I've had them at my house times in the last 10 years and they have always been on time, very professional, and got the job done. I know at least three of my clients that have American Home Shield now.

    I've been a customer of American Home Shield for years now. I have multiple properties and the problem I've seen, they have used a lot of people overseas and that makes it a little bit difficult sometimes to communicate with them. I noticed that they'd just be reading off of the script instead of understanding what the situation is. However, the contractors provided very good communication and they came within a couple of days. They replaced the water heater and fixed the issue that there was at the house.

    But, some contractors that American Home Shield has been getting recently, have been lacking as far as attention to the client. I don't know if it's because the parts are taking forever to get here. But recently, it's been taking longer than usual on some of the requests. I had a claim for the AC unit. I wasn't even notified that they opted to replace the air handler unit completely because they couldn't find the panel board or the panel board was taking too long to get here. It just got fixed yesterday and I submitted the request on the 25th of October.

    I signed up with American Home Shield believing my appliances would be covered as promised. I filed a claim just 30 days after starting the policy and was charged a $100 service fee. When the technician came out, he informed me that while my appliance had been discontinued, it could be replaced if the warranty company found the required items.

    Instead, I received an email denying the claim due to a “preexisting condition” and was asked to provide proof that the item was functioning before the warranty started—a completely unreasonable request. The technician even mentioned this was a common issue with this type of appliance and hinted the company might not cover it due to my policy being new. American Home Shield misrepresented their coverage and wasted my time and money. I regret trusting them and would not recommend this company to anyone. Save yourself the frustration and avoid AHS at all costs.

    American Home Shield is a great resource to have because the normal home warranties that we pay through insurance companies don't cover appliances. Appliances are not cheap. The service clause for appliances is also not cheap and trying to get a service person out to come look at an appliance that has broken down is a process on its own. American Home Shield helps people cut out the part of having to wait on the phone or wait for the service provider to call back. It automatically sends the message to the service provider. I love American Home Shield. Every claim I've done with them has been quick and timely. They're on top of getting our repairs done. On the other hand, I had two different claims where Sears came out and if I had to rate them, it would be at a 1.

    I had a claim for my refrigerator that was squirting out the top of it and the inside of the refrigerator was freezing my food instead of just keeping it cold. That was the first claim. The second claim was for my washing machine. It was making a rattling noise, and then the tub stopped spinning altogether. I went on the website for American Home Shield and submitted what was wrong. The claims process was very easy but for me to get the service done, it was a headache. Sears gave me a time frame of 8:00 to 5:00, and I'm a teacher. I need a smaller time frame. For both repairs, Sears didn't come until 2:00, 3:00, or 4:00 and I had taken a whole day off work to sit at my house and wait for them. It was four days that I had to do.

    The initial one for the refrigerator, luckily, my dad was in town and he hung out at my house until the guy came. The Sears guy didn't come until after lunchtime. When the guy had to come back and do the replacement part, he didn't come until 4:00, so I had taken off a whole day at work for nothing. With the washing machine, I realized that Sears gives an update of when they're coming, so I told my boss that I would be leaving to go to my house as soon as I get updated the guy's on his way. I had to get coverage for my class for me to be there and I kind of got in trouble at work because the guy came around 2:00 then. When he came back to replace the part, he didn't come until after 3:00, but according to what Sears told me, he was supposed to be there at 8:00 that morning.

    I had to take two days off for times that I could've just left early from work. Originally, Sears will say 8:00 to 5:00, then they'll send a message the day of and say, "Estimated arrival will be 10:15," so then, I was thinking they were gonna be there at 10:15. Aside from that, the refrigerator guy came in, did his business and left. He didn't really talk. The washing machine guy did the same thing. He came in and did his business. However, he made me mad because when he drained the washing machine, it drained all over my floor, and then he just left his paper towels sitting on my floor for me to clean up. My floor was still soaking wet as well, so I still had to go back and clean up after him. If someone's coming in to repair my house, they should be responsible to clean up their mess.

    I am very dissatisfied with American Home Shield. Stay away from it. They will just take you for your money. My son got them. He went on and on about how great the were. He said, "You really need to do it." Because we're not young anymore. I said, "Okay. I'll check into it." He gave me the number. I called. The gentleman on the phone raved about, "We can save you so much money. We can save you so much money. If you have a roof leak, we'll come in and we'll fix your roof. If we can't fix your roof, then we get it repaired. All it cost is just your deductible." We would just have to pay $125. "We'll repair your roof leaks. We'll repair the appliances. If we can't fix it, we'll get you one equal value." I said, "Okay. That sounds great."

    We have used AHS four times. They did great on the washer and dryer. They also did good on the stove. The motherboard had went out on it. The gentleman that came was very helpful. He said, "Samsung, these type of models, the motherboard goes out quite often." We've already had it replaced and it's going back out. He said that is just one of the flaws. Also, a contractor came and fixed my washing machine. It was fantastic.

    We started getting leaks in the roof. We've had some bad storms with high winds and heavy rains. We got six to eight inches of rain in a short period of time. We have an A-frame house. AHS said that they would repair leaks. Home Pro people got ahold of us and said that they would be out. At 7:00 that afternoon, I rushed home from work and waited. At 8 o'clock, I called. I got ahold of nobody. The tech texted me back, "Sorry. I was on a job. I can come over now." It was dark. He said, "I can come by in the morning." "Yeah. Just come by in the morning."

    They were here for not even three minutes. We have a pitched roof. He said, "It's running down from the pitched roof and it's settling. And you have missing shingles." The missing shingles have nothing to do with where the leak is. That's on the other side of the house. They did nothing. They never reported the leak to AHS. I didn't hear anything back for a while. I called AHS and they said they haven't got anything back from the contractor. So, AHS called them and they sent the report. AHS turned around and denied it.

    AHS sent another person out because I was pissed. They sent another company out to look at the leak. The tech said it was due to wear and tear. I understand. It's an older home. We've had the roof repaired and redone twice since we moved in the 15 years. The gentleman said, "I can put a Band-Aid on it, but it's not gonna fix it. And it's gonna be about $3,000 to get it fixed.” When I got AHS, they told me that they would repair the roof leaks. All it would cost me was the deductible. The rep said I would save thousands of dollars. We got a letter yesterday saying that AHS denied the claim because it exceeds the $1,000 roof coverage. They didn't even do the $1,000 worth of work.

    I had a bad experience with a previous warranty company and I ended my warranty with them and went to American Home Shield. Shortly after, I realized that my air conditioner was old and when spring came along, I made the decision to not even report it to them. I just bought a new one because that was the only fair thing to do.

    A local company from Omaha came and installed it and the first thing they did was look at the furnace. They told me that I should immediately have the gas turned off and that it was inoperable. So, I called AHS to look at it. When the tech that they sent came, he looked at it and said there was nothing wrong with the machine. It was working fine when he arrived and he made it appear that it wasn't, and then restored it. And it's been working fine ever since then. I appreciated this company out of Red Oak and AHS that it worked out that way. Apparently, the other air conditioning company was trying to defraud me into buying a new furnace. They made me sign this document showing that the thing was inoperative, and acknowledging how critical it was.

    I was very pleased with American Home Shield and the response I got from them. I was delighted that I was not gonna have to buy a new furnace and I certainly didn't have any intention of ever putting the responsibility on them either. But I got a letter from Front Door and it made me feel a little uneasy. It stated that my recent service request was denied. It was like they were accusing me of trying to defraud AHS. And that is not the case. Maybe I'm being over-reactive, but it offended me. If I was gonna defraud AHS, I would have done something with that air conditioner earlier. I've lived in this house for 21 years and it was an old machine when I moved in here. So I didn't want it repaired. At this point, I wanted a new one, so I bought one, which was how I ended up with this other company that tried to get me to buy a furnace.

    My dishwasher quit on me too in the past few weeks. And like the air conditioner, I was not willing to have that one repaired. I never liked that particular machine even though I bought it myself about 15 years ago. So I bought a new dishwasher and it's sitting here in my kitchen. I did not and am not going to request any help from AHS in buying it but I need somebody to install it. I’m wondering if there is a way that they can refer someone to me or someone that I can call to get this installed.

    I'm in love with American Home Shield. I was so happy with my most recent service request to them. I gave the guy who came a hug because he fixed my washer and dryer. He was from Americare Appliance Repair. He was very respectful. He was mindful of my hardwood floors. He put little booty things on his feet. He had one of the parts on his truck and he didn't have the other part that I needed. So, he called some company who happened to have it. He picked up the part because he said he didn't want me to wait an extra day. He asked if I minded if he would go and get it and come back. I told him, "No, I really appreciate that."

    He fixed both of my washer and dryer because both of them were down. The dryer wasn't getting hot. As for the washer, you would turn the button and pull it, and it wouldn't work. The guy got both of them working. He let the dryer run to make sure that the dryer was getting hot. I am grateful because I really couldn't afford a new washer and a dryer at the same time. I was praying that it could be fixed. The tech took it upon himself to call and see if the company had the part. I said, "Boy, not too many people do that." He checked everything and made sure everything was working perfectly before he left.

    I'm so happy to be a customer of American Home Shield. I'm so happy that they're a company that stands by their word. So far, I only had to use them twice. I had a plumbing issue, too. The people that came to do the work were nice. They were courteous. So, I am very impressed, and that's one of the bills that I make sure gets paid automatically out of my check.

I told him that sometimes, my dryer doesn't work. The first load dries but when I put another load in it, it won't dry. So, he said it might be the thermometer. He doesn't see that it is but they're gonna try if that will fix it. He showed me the piece that he was talking about and explained everything.

But so far, American Home Shield is working with me to try to get it fixed. The dryer is okay. I don't have a problem unless I keep drying after and then I have a problem. AHS is like any insurance. You don't need it until you need it.

    A friend of mine recommended American Home Shield to me, and I told her that I was glad she had. I'm covered if something happens. I was told that the contractor would be out on a certain day. On the day that they came out, I got a text message with a picture of the contractor, letting me know that that was the guy I would get. He explained the whole thing. All outlets work fine now.

    The pipe had burst under the house. My husband went there to change a filter and he saw it was dripping. I called American Home Shield. The Brick Street tech who came out was nice. Everything is good now. We still have one claim out there that hasn't been filled yet. It is a claim for the AC unit outside. Billy’s AC hasn't contacted us or anything to let us know if the part can come in or not. It had been going on for three months. Other than that, I tell people about American Home Shield. It's a good company.

    The ice maker was not producing ice and the tech from NPM Heating came and attempted to do what he needed to do. The young man was professional but he wasn’t clean. He had to take the icemaker out the door and didn't wash his hands. He didn't have on gloves and when he put it back in, it had black marks all over. It was gross. The ice maker is not working. The part was ordered but it came in broken. So, it was reordered. The young man came and delivered the part and I called about four days later because it still wasn't producing any ice. He said that because of the type of refrigerator that it is, he had to order a door. Then, I received a call from someone from American Home Shield saying that the door would take 8 weeks for delivery. The highest number was up to 25 weeks to get the part in.

    The gentleman asked if I still wanna proceed or if I wanna cash out the amount for the ice maker, get another one and have it installed. And I told him that I'll wait. So, I don't expect it to be fixed until February. I always recommend AHS to friends. But more times than not, I have an issue every time I have to use the service. The consistency with the third-party vendor needs to be better because I've never heard of NPM Heating and Cooling. There used to be a time when AHS would send out Superior Heating and Cooling, well-known vendors in the area. In the last couple of times, it's been mom and pop shop business.

    The ticket before the current one was for a free furnace inspection. A vendor came out, another mom-and-pop shop, and the young man went downstairs and did the inspection. I sat down there with him for a minute and then left. When he came back upstairs to give me his report, his findings were amazing, especially because he referred back to the notes from the prior year. He proceeded to tell me that my furnace was rusting and that it had sitting water in it. Apparently, it's been happening for at least a couple of years.

    The young man showed pictures and, in the pictures, there was no standing water. There was some rust. He just pulled up a report from last year and it didn't show anything. He tried to tell me that some unit was going out, that it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. And once again, he referred to a prior report which mentioned none of that. And I brought all of that to his attention. Then he proceeded to tell me that my outside air conditioning unit was "sinking" in the ground and needed to be replaced. He asked me when I had the unit serviced last. I said that it was last year, just like the furnace. And nobody mentioned anything about my unit sinking to the ground.

    The young man pulled up a picture of my outside unit and proceeded to point around the base of the unit. He pointed out that it was sinking and I just looked at him and said that it’s grass from when I get my grass cut. And if he looks further, he can see the black platform that it's on. He just closed the picture up and didn't say anything else about it.

    I've always pushed AHS overall as a company. I've had services from them for over 20 years on all of my properties. So I've always used it. It's just the vendors that they're using now are doubtful. I’m wondering why it is taking four months to get a refrigerator door, and it's a Whirlpool, and why someone is coming in to inspect my furnace and telling me about my air conditioning unit outside. Also, I wish the price would stop going up. I have the platinum. If you don't use it for a period of time, six months or a year, it shouldn't increase every year. Because my service call is $125. So, that's something on top of what I pay 145 a month for the actual service. But I like having AHS so I'll pay whatever I have to pay. I wouldn't have started at $140 something a month for something I can't tangibly touch.

    Stay away from AHS. They would con you. I know people that got services completed by them, but it has been a months drawn-out processes. If you can go months without your working air conditioning or refrigerator, maybe you would get something from them. Otherwise, they would just try to take your money and not provide you the service you're paying for. Dun-Rite Appliance came out. The tech looked at the fridge. He determined what was broken. He said, "I'm gonna order parts. And they should arrive by Monday” which was four days after the initial visit. I said, "Okay." Monday happened. The parts never came. I called Dun-Rite Appliance five times throughout the course of that week. Never heard back from them. I also called the insurance company, but I got nowhere with them. No one could give me an answer.

    Two weeks went by. And on a random Tuesday, this guy from Dun-Rite Appliance showed up at my house. It was election day. Without prescheduling an appointment, he just showed up, with no parts, and he asked, "Where are the parts?" I said, "I don't have the parts. I called you multiple times and told you I don't have the parts. They never came." He said, "Oh, okay." He left, said he would call me back. He never did. It was another week of me calling Dun-Rite Appliances, calling the insurance company, being told 10 different things by every person I spoke to.

    I got an email from the insurance company, "We've completed your service. Please evaluate how we did." I said, "You did nothing." Every time I spoke to somebody at either company, nobody could give me an answer. They just kept telling me, "We're gonna replace your fridge." The next person spoke to said, "No. We're not replacing your fridge. That's not happening. We're waiting for parts, but we haven't ordered them yet."

    After like weeks of this and never getting resolution, at least, a month went by, and I couldn't get a clear answer from anyone, I tried to cancel my American Home Shield policy. Every time I called to cancel it, they would hang up the phone on me. I must have tried to call and cancel six times. I had my husband try and call and cancel. We freaked out and they canceled once I told them that I would dispute all of the charges on my credit card.

    I always tell people that American Home Shield is a good company. I've used them a couple of times and they have always done everything right, so I've never had any problems. The recent tech came out, did what he needed to do, and fixed it. It was all good. That guy was awesome.
