    My air conditioner was leaking and not getting cold in the summer or not heating in the winter, and when I tried to submit my claim to American Home Shield, the rep and I were butting heads. She was asking me questions that I didn't know about the unit and I was trying to tell her I’m trying to get someone to come out because I can't tell her anything about it since I never fixed one. So, that was a little discouraging because it took her a minute to send my claim through. AHS sent someone out to fix it and the tech was very friendly and nice. He tried to get me a little heat because a part was needed and they didn’t have it. I had to wait for them to order that part and then he had to come back out. Also, I wasn’t aware that Freon wasn’t covered. So that surprised me with the price, and I had to pay an extra $168 on top of my deductible. But other than that, it was fixed, and I haven't had any issues with it.

    In the winter of 2024, the same thing happened with the heat. And in 2025, when winter came again, it was messed up again. So, it was never fixed the first time and I had to pay twice because it wasn’t fixed correctly. A different company was sent to fix it this time than the last time. Still, American Home Shield is a good program, especially as a single female, when things break down. So, it's something everyone should have. I believe my experience will get better each time in the future. I had it for years, and nothing breaks down, but that one time something could break down, you don't want to not have it. So, I always recommend it to everybody who owns a house.

    The sink was backing up. I called American Home Shield and they sent out The Highland Services. They were very pleasant. They came and did their job. They tried to keep the place clean. Since it was a messy business to begin with, they did a good job. Plumbing is difficult thing to solve sometimes. It's not sometimes a single fix, but when I did call back for them to re-check the system, they set up a new time, they came out when they said they were going to, and the gentleman worked for several hours to make sure it was operating properly.

    The person who sold us our house recommended American Home Shield as a service that was reliable to make sure your home operated properly. Their prices are comparable to other services. The one thing that I do not like about them is I called to find out about canceling, and they sent me on a runaround. Because I was offered a contract by another company that had more services for less money. And they did not give me an opportunity to talk to them. They said, “Well, okay, we'll get you that department.” “Why would you want to go over that department? Do you want to cancel right now?” I said, “No, I need to find out what my liability is, what my responsibility is if I cancel while I'm under contract.” “Well, okay. Well, you'll have to call back.” I got that three times. That was a runaround to me.

    Business is business. Their behavior is obstructive to me getting information I need. Got to be clear, right flat out, “This is what the cancelation fees are. If you have any questions, we are here to negotiate or work with you to retain your services.” That's what I want to hear from a company. Because it's a highly competitive market, and I want to go to somebody and stay as a loyal customer when I'm treated with respect, and that's not respecting my intelligence or ability. Also, I don't want the runaround. I know not every customer will take the time and communicate the same as each other. People don't work that way. It's life. You get two fruits off the tree, and they both don't taste the same all the time. So, in this case, you still have to have a level of integrity and intelligence. Since words are our biggest communication thing right now, I really appreciate being communicated with.

    So far, my experience with American Home Shield has been pretty good. I had to call a couple of times to have a problem rectified in the past. We had a washing machine that wasn't properly draining itself on the spin cycle. We called them up, and they came out, and it was smelling bad. They said, “Well, there's nothing we can do. We really don't cover that.” But he tried to do some things we thought would be helpful. When it happened again a few months later, I called up, and they were going to charge me another $100 to come out. He said, “We can't guarantee to get rid of odor.” I said, “Why didn't you tell me that the first time?” American Home Shield refunded the $100 against that, and I didn't make a second appointment. That, to me, was doing what was right, even though it took a while to get there. But that's the kind of stuff they need to do in the front. There needs to be better communication.

    We've had several things that needed repairs and American Home Shield takes care of them and only costs us $100, no matter what the repair is. And because of that, we’ve stayed with them for at least five years. We've never had any trouble with them, and everything is great when we submit claims. Recently, they sent out AZA Repair for the refrigerator. We thought we needed another part, but when the tech checked it, it started working again.

    I have been a paying customer of American Home Shield for over a year, faithfully paying my premiums with the expectation that major system failures would be covered under my contract. Unfortunately, my recent experience has been extremely disappointing and raises serious concerns about the company’s business practices.

    When my furnace stopped working, I promptly filed a service request. It took two days for a contractor to be dispatched and an additional three days for the diagnosis to be submitted. I was then informed that my furnace needed full replacement. However, instead of honoring what I believed to be covered under my warranty, I was told I would have to pay substantial “non-covered” or “modification” costs in order for the replacement to proceed.

    The out-of-pocket amount quoted to me was so excessive that it nearly equals the cost of purchasing and installing a brand-new furnace independently. This defeats the entire purpose of maintaining a home warranty policy. What is even more troubling is that rather than working toward a reasonable solution, American Home Shield offered me a full refund of my annual premium if I declined to pay the additional charges. I refused because I expect the company to fulfill the contractual obligations for which I have already paid. Since then, they have refused to move forward with repair or replacement unless I agree to the excessive extra payment.

    As a result, I am left without a functioning furnace, no heat in the middle of winter and no meaningful resolution. This experience feels like a bait-and-switch: coverage is advertised for major systems, but when a major failure occurs, customers are faced with large, unexpected charges that are not transparent and undermine the spirit of the contract. I am requesting that American Home Shield honor the spirit and terms of my contract and provide a reasonable replacement without imposing excessive additional costs. I also encourage potential customers to carefully review how “non-covered modifications” are handled before purchasing a policy.

    We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced and understand how stressful it is to be without heat, especially when you expected coverage based on your contract. The delays, the unexpected out‑of‑pocket costs, and the lack of a clear path forward are not the experience we want for our members. We regret the frustration and concern this situation has caused, particularly after you’ve maintained your coverage and relied on it for major system failures. Your feedback is important, and we take concerns like these seriously as we work to ensure our processes and communication are clear and fair.

    The last experience was fine. The experience before that was bad. It's the last time I'm going to use American Home Shield's services, because it makes no sense. When you replace something, their contracts that they have written for themselves are protecting them. We had a gas furnace replacement. A contractor came out in three days, which was fast. However, what was uncovered later was crazy. AHS jacked up the prices. In the end, it was cheaper to hire someone outside of AHS than to deal with them.

    Wright Refrigeration came out for my AHS claim. They ordered whatever the part was, but it took longer than I had expected, a couple of weeks before it came in. Once it came in, they installed it very promptly. Ever since my now deceased second husband suggested me doing, we have had a good experience with American Home Shield since the early 2000s. Their cost is reasonable. But this year, they never told us how much it was. I haven't kept track of what the payment has been each year. I'm 85, so I’m not as organized as I used to be.

    Every time we've used American Home Shield's service, we've had our issue repaired, and the techs that come out seem knowledgeable and informative. There was a shortage in the house. It was easy to submit an online claim to American Home Shield. I was notified of where the tech was coming from. He was great. He fixed the major issue, and then we were having a minor issue, and he told us it was simply the light bulbs. He was correct because we changed the light bulbs and never had an issue again.

    What I like most about having American Home Shield is the peace of mind and the push. A lot of times, we don't fix stuff in our houses because of the fear of the unknown and the cost, but just having to pay the $125 for somebody to come out helps. What could be improved is the contractors. I have a plumbing issue, and the contractors in the network were going to take a week. I had to call back, and the second person I spoke to wasn't clear. They didn't speak English well. It was very difficult, and then I still didn't have resolution in hours. Then I called back and the next guy was very helpful, and he helped resolve my issue. Somebody is coming tomorrow. My toilet is just clogged and the reason I called back was because I was asking what are my remedies if I have to go outside and pay for it myself, and that was where he got me to a contractor who can come out tomorrow.

    I set a claim up online to American Home Shield for an urgent issue. I had a leak in my kitchen. We couldn't use our sink anymore. Water was running into our crawl space. So, we had a massive issue. I talked to American Home Shield and they handed the case over to K&S, and K&S didn't care. They scheduled an appointment a week out. So, I called and begged them saying, “Please, we really need help. I got three kids and we can't even use our kitchen." They said they couldn't do anything. Then they came out and I had to give them all the details on what it was. The job took a month to get done, and it took them four trips to come out. On the first trip, they just looked at it and didn't do anything, and then scheduled an appointment 10 days after that. Then they came out and did the job, and then made it worse. We had new problems as a result of their work. I called them again.

    This whole time, I've been talking to American Home Shield asking them to give me somebody else because I needed to get it done. AHS said, “It’s not our policy. And K&S has to release the job.” They asked them to release the job and K&S didn't. The third time they came out, they sent somebody that was physically too large to fit under my cabinet and work on it. They should know because they've already been out there a couple of times. About the fourth time, they sent somebody out, and they mostly did it right.

    One question about the job is why didn't they just replace this whole pipe? It's five feet of pipe that just needed to be replaced. I'd independently talk to a local plumber that was able to send somebody out in two days, and they would replace the whole pipe. It would just have cost me a lot of money, and I'm paying American Home Shield, so I didn't do it. However, the cost of that was it took a month to get resolved, and I had to frustratingly deal with them, and whole time asking for appointments and all kinds of stuff. I was calling and they would not even pick up the phone most of the time. I would leave a voicemail, and they wouldn't call me back. So, I ended up calling over and over until somebody picks up. It's been a terrible situation.

    The job got resolved. We're able to use our sink, which is good. I paid $400 to have them cut the back of the cabinet out, which I totally get. I was happy to do that. I understand that's not covered in the warranty under my contract. It just took forever, and it was super frustrating. I've had American Home Shield for a long time, and I've had great experiences with them. I've just had enough negative contractor experiences. It really depends on who they send. I've had some awesome ones. When we first moved here, we had a big issue that American Home Shield helped us with. I felt like American Home Shield was really trying to help me, and they were always really polite and nice on the phone. They were trying to see what they could do.

    Overall, American Home Shield's service is good. I haven't had the issue where I had to replace anything. However, they need to look at some of their vendors more often because some of them are not representative of the service that they put on the internet. I had a smart thermostat that needed to be replaced. AHS wanted to replace it with a one of the old square ones. I told them that was unacceptable. And I had to pay for the upgrade. I had a concern about that, because they came out and saw what kind of smart thermostat I had yet just wanted to replace it with the little square manual one? That's unacceptable. I pay a warranty for it so I expect them to replace it. I did not tell them to upgrade it. Just replace what was in the house.

    For the last three service requests, I would give AHS 9 out of 10 for their execution and the contractors’ reliability. I submitted to them that I had an issue with a ground fault indicator and they said, “Okay.” Somebody would come out and take a look at it. Once they sent it to their subcontractor, they set up an appointment via telephone, came out, and replaced the ground fault indicator. The tech troubleshot, found out what it was, fiexed it, and took no time to do it. Everything went well.

    I just had a problem with my dishwasher. That person was great. He came out and explained everything. When I had a problem, he came back and looked at the problem again and repaired what he thought was the problem. I also had a problem with my washer. The vendor came out, explained everything, even showed me that, “There's only two parts on this East Coast. If we can get it, it'd take a week and a half.” Their timing was perfect. When he said a week and a half, they came out, had the part in a week and a half, replaced it, and explained everything to me.

    I had a leaking faucet and the tech who came out from Fisher Plumbing was professional and answered all my questions. It was a very good service call. I was standing right there with him when he was fixing it, so he explained what needed to be done and what the issue was. Everything is fine now. He had to come back out because one of the parts that he had to replace in the bathtub area of one of the bathrooms was defective. He replaced it, and there have been no leaks since that time. I'm very satisfied with American Home Shield and I like that I don't have to do a lot of research to find someone to do repairs. I can just call them and they can send somebody because I'm assuming they’ve already vetted the people that they hire. So, I don't have to worry about any issues regarding that.

    I didn't have to pay for parts replacement. It was included in the service. But there are some other things I would like to have included in the cost. I have to pay an additional cost for all of those other services that they offer. I pay $60 a month, and it's a little bit expensive. That just covers things like my plumbing, but my washing machine or ceiling fans are not included. I wish they provided other services in the basic package. I've had the service for a number of years, and this is the second time that I've used it. So, I've paid for whatever I've gotten several times over. I should get better service for my longevity of being with the company and be eligible for better benefits.

    A water line behind the fridge failed and I was able to stop the water until a plumber was able to come out. He was nice, professional, clean and treated our home well. The process took a very long time but the work was completed and things were repaired. It has not leaked water into my house. So, I'm happy with that. But American Home Shield got a little fussy that I capped the water line. If I didn’t do that, it would have been 30 plus days without water in the house. I've got two very young children at home and that just doesn’t work. Apparently, what I did made it not eligible for the warranty, which was ridiculous.

    Once I talked through it with them, it got resolved, but they should loosen up a bit. Unless they could get somebody out the next day, it’s unreasonable to ask me to leave it alone for 30 days. Also, they could be a lot faster at responding and getting people to the house. I can't say I love American Home Shield's policies but the contractors were great. The warranty is a very inexpensive way to effectively insure your house for a year or two, if you do the extension on the plan. It’s nice to have AHS, but just have reasonable expectations.

They have good coverage, but the quality of vendors they have now is not at the same level when I first started with them. I've had two vendors come out recently. The last claim I put in was for a leaky toilet and the vendor came out, but they did not want to repair anything. The guy put the water in there, then he said that something in the inside needs to be changed. I said, "Do you have it on the truck?" He said, "No. I'm gonna just fix this one." He fixed what I had, but I'm still having the same problems because the one I had out there before should have been swapped out. I have paid my deposit and nobody has called me back. There's been absolutely no follow-up.

    The other vendor that I had come out before was dealing with my furnace. I have an older home and he came in there and went downstairs. "Oh, I'm not gonna do that 'cause I will have to take these fillers out and go up in there." He wrote the report up as if I didn't have a problem, but those two rooms are still cold. So, I've had my last two episodes, and I called American Home Shield and reported both of them as soon as they left. The part I don't like about American Home Shield is they will argue with you. They don't wanna call the vendors back.

    They take the vendors at face value when there was absolutely no work done on either of those claims that I'm sure that they paid for as if it there was. I'm looking for a home warranty company, so I can change from American Home Shield. It's getting more and more expensive too. In some years, I go and I don't call. I didn't buy it to call for air. I bought the coverage for emergencies and the price is high for that type of customer service that I received.

    The gas company came to check my furnace and they said I needed water inside this furnace, but American Home Shield turned my claim down because they didn't have a piece to it. When I first got them, they said that if they can't fix it, they will get a brand-new one. The only thing I needed was water in the tank and they didn't do it. They told me that if I want it, then I gotta pay for it myself. They told me the price they were gonna charge me, and it was high. I said, "Wait a minute. All the time and I had y'all and y'all telling me that y'all can't take care of that for me? And I'm paying every month."

    Don't use American Home Shield. They have poor service. I bought my home two years ago. I had them, but then I changed the plan, then I canceled them. I went back to them because I needed a roofing claim. I said, "Give me the roofing claim and give me whatever I got." I've been paying every month for two long years and it seems like every time I wanna use it, they don't do anything. Plus, when they come out, I give them 125.

    American Home Shield's price is reasonable and I tell people it's worth it. It's really helpful. I submitted a claim online and the turnaround time was really good. I was expecting it to take longer, but I put the claim in at 8am, and they got someone to come out within a few hours. Efficient Air was here by 11:00 and they found two issues that were wrong with the HVAC. They diagnosed it and had to order parts. They said they would put the order in, and they would have to see when they would get it. They gave me until Thursday, then the next day, they came back with the parts to fix it. They waited around to make sure it was running for a few minutes, and it was good to go. They were very good.

    A tech from Family Heating & Cooling came out and checked my heater that was not working. He tried several things, then finally, he came up with a way to have the heater work. But he told me that there was something wrong with the electrodes, and that it was no guarantee that the heater would continue to work. So, he said I might have to replace it. That's fine with me because the heater is really old anyway. Two days later, I realized that the heater was working, but there was not really a lot of heat. So I called the tech back out and when he did, he confirmed that they were going to call American Home Shield to say that the heater needed to be replaced.

    Initially, American Home Shield wanted to give them a unit that had a bad reputation and was not working properly. They knew this because Family Heating & Cooling had three other customers under American Home Shield where the same unit was provided and it was not working properly. So they were called out three times by their customers. Family Heating then said that they had their own brand outside of American Home Shield that they install into their customer's homes, which they wanted to install in my home. But that caused the delay for them to replace my heater and install it, because for four days, the office manager was going back and forth with the representative at American Home Shield, then she asked to escalate it.

    Finally, the supervisor that could make that decision came back in the office, and she went back and forth with him. He then agreed that they would give Family Heating the money so that they could go and get the unit that they wanted to install into my house. That was last week. On Wednesday, Family Heating's office manager called me and she was really apologetic to say that they ordered the unit but it hasn't come in yet. So, that's causing a delay and they won't be able to install until next Wednesday.

    The whole problem is that American Home Shield needs to be considerate of the vendors that they use. If the vendors tell them that a unit or a product is not working, then don't keep making them take that unit because that causes problems with their customers. On several occasions, Family Heating's office manager told me that I could take that unit that American Home Shield was offering us out of their supply house but she said it was going to be breaking down. I don't want that. I want a heater that's going to be working. So that's not really fair to the vendors and ultimately, it's not fair to the customers. Now, this vendor seems to be really good, but we're being held hostage while American Home Shield is trying to figure out the most inexpensive way to deliver the service. To me, that's crazy.

    Other than that, I've been referring people to American Home Shield. This is an isolated incident because I've been with them for seven years and over the time, they've replaced all of the appliances that couldn't be repaired and they did it in a timely factor, except there were a couple of glitches. For instance, when they replaced my microwave oven, they told me to measure it and I should have had a handyman measure it, because the microwave is too big. So, they came graciously and picked it up, returned it, then I told them I wanted the cash-out, and they gave me money so that I could go and get the microwave. But I don't have any complaints. They're very right on. As soon as I call them, they call whoever the vendor might be, and send them out.

    I also had one incident in the beginning where they sent me this vendor that was not really good. He didn't really do what he was supposed to do when he came out. Then, when something else broke and I called back in, they wanted to give me the same vendor and I disagreed. So, they gave me a very reputable vendor that I continue to use, even outside of American Home Shield.

    Also, American Home Shield's coverage is questionable because they will pay for the unit, but they want you to use their vendors to install, and the prices are rather high. On a couple of occasions, I got a cash-out and they paid for whatever the unit would be, but they wanted to charge me some ridiculous amount. It was for a hot water here in my mom's house and they wanted to charge me $3,000 to install it. So, I found my own person that installed it for$1,300. But the price I pay American Home Shield monthly is good. It's automatically deducted from your account then on your anniversary, they might want to raise the amount. Maybe they do inform us about it, but I don't remember being informed that it was going to go up. It's when I looked at my account that I noticed that it was up. But you can call their customer resolution department, which was what I did, and I got the price back to where it should be.

    I turned the dishwasher on, and all the water came out from under the sink. I placed the claim online and it was not hard to do but it didn't give me too many options to say what was wrong. I didn't know whether to have a dishwasher person look at it or a plumber. So when I made the claim, I put that the line was stopped up. I thought it was the disposal but the tech who came out found the part that he said was causing it. Since then, I have not turned the dishwasher on yet. But he said he tried it and it didn’t leak. I got American Home Shield when I moved into the house and I kept it, and I’ve had it for twenty years. It’s convenient that you can make an appointment anytime. I did it on a Friday night, and the tech came out on Tuesday. It was right before the freeze. So, I got in ahead of the people before the freeze.

    American Home Shield has been terrible. My icemaker was broken last January and they've made eight service calls on it but they never fixed it. They finally said they couldn't get the part for it and after they said that, they sent me a check to buy a new refrigerator. My refrigerator is a $16,000 Subzero and they sent me $1,000. That didn't even cover the icemaker that had been broken for over a year and a half that they hadn't fixed. So, my icemaker will be fixed on Monday. There are parts and I have no idea why American Home Shield would send a repairman out so often.

    The last time the guy came, he was so embarrassed. He said that American Home Shield is a scam and so was the company he was working for, Accord Appliance. Overall, my last year and two months with American Home Shield has been horrific. We've had nothing but runarounds from them over the years and I don't know why I kept my policy. I'm going to cancel my contract with them.

    There was no air coming out of the vent and the thermostat had no power. I submitted a claim with American Home Shield on their website and it was different than their mobile site. So, that was the frustrating part. Their mobile site didn't show everything that their website showed, so I ended up having to go on the website to get what I wanted. Then I got an email saying who the contractor was going to be coming out, and that I would be getting a call or a text message. A couple of days later, I got the text message from the tech.

    When he came out, I told him that there was no air coming out of the furnace. At the time, I wasn't home, but my wife was home. And when he went up there, he said the blower was working. But after he left, when I turned the heat on, there was still no air coming out of the vent. So, I had him come back out a second time. He tried to explain the aerodynamics of how air flows, and that from our attic all the way down, it just takes a while to get there. But it was working before in December, where I could feel the air coming out of the vent. And when he was there, I couldn't feel the air, even though I knew that the furnace was turning on because I could hear it was on. He said he checked the air and he still didn't see anything. He insisted that the furnace was working.

    He also put in his report that I said I was not getting enough air but that was not what I said. I told him that there was no air coming out of the vent. So, I had to go through the whole process of getting a second opinion. I had to ask for a supervisor to get a second opinion and it took me talking to three people to get someone to get another company out. Then I had to go through the threat of if the second opinion techs don't find an issue, I got to pay their fee. But that was not necessary. In the end, the second company that came out found that the motor on the blower was bad. They replaced it and now, I can feel the heat coming out of the vents. Overall, American Home Shield is a good investment. The warranty is good to have when you need it. You pay the monthly, and when you need it, you’d pay $100, then they come out and fix your problem. If they can't fix it, they'll send someone else. If they can't fix it, they'll replace it.

The recent company said that the previous ones didn't know what they were doing. They put the new motherboard in there, and it’s perfect. Those techs were super experts. They were engineers, they went to university, and they knew what they were doing.

    I told others American Home Shield is the best company. I live in Great Neck, and everybody knows everybody. Some people complain and say that they don't service well. “We call them, and they say that, ‘No, it's not fixable.’” I always tell them, “Don't cancel it, because it's going to cost you a fortune if you just call straight companies.

    The AC was not working properly. I called American Home Shield, and the interactions with the representatives were good. They scheduled Taurus Heating & Air. It took about three days for the first initial service person to come and diagnose the problem. After they diagnosed the problem, it took about a week and a half to get the part. Then they came out and replaced that part. The AC system was still not working. They diagnosed the second problem and ordered another part. That part came in damaged. So, that was two weeks more. Finally, they got the part a week later. They came out, changed those parts, and there was still an issue with the system.

    This is for a rental house, and I had gone there and saw that there was an issue with the thermostat. I asked the technician if he could replace it, but he said that American Home Shield would not replace it even with the burnt part. He would have to report that it is still in working condition, which it still wasn't. There was still something wrong. If it's something that's burned, I'm assuming that they have to change it, especially in electronics part. I had to pay an additional $150 to the technician that went out there, and the problem still persisted after that. So, I went out of my way, and I hired another outside HVAC company to go out and fix the problem, and that was how it got fixed. It never got repaired through American Home Shield. The initial call to them was on December 16th, and I just fixed it this Monday.

    In the process, the people that helped me were courteous, and they tried to help me, but the processes that they have are not fast enough. The reason I went to another type of vendor to get the problem fixed is because after the problem persisted the third time that Taurus Heating & Air went out there, the problem still persisted. So, I had requested a second opinion, which I could do through American Home Shield, but they needed to get the final paperwork from Taurus Heating & Air before they could try and get somebody else out there. Even until this Monday, when I called, they still hadn't received it, and I couldn't get a second opinion. I couldn't wait two months to get my HVAC fixed.

    American Home Shield has been terrible. My most recent claim was for an issue with my air handler. We waited for about a week for someone to come. When I stressed that it was very imperative that somebody should get here because we had no heat in one section of the house, they took about a week to get here. When they came, they worked on the unit. The fan wouldn't turn on, and they said it was due to a relay. They replaced the relay. The gentleman told me he made a little bit of a wiring change, and I told him as long as I have heat, I'm good with that. 15 minutes after they left, I noticed that the fan now wasn't turning off at all even after it wasn't calling for heat. So, we got in touch with the company that performed the service and we let them know, and they told us, “Well, he's en route to another job. As long as you have heat. We'll reschedule to get back there.”

    We waited and waited. We sent several text messages and did several phone calls. For the most part, they were not unresponsive. They responded saying they'd get here. Then at some point, they turned and said that their technician said that he didn't understand what was going on, and that they would have to get ahold of the manufacturer of the unit. So we waited, and now, two weeks had gone by. We then called American Home Shield again to see what was going on. They said they'd get in touch with the service provider. I explained to them, “Look. We already talked to service provider. They said they're not coming back until they get more information, or if they're coming back at all.” Their reasoning was it was something to do with the threshold of money that they didn't wanna exceed by coming here and not being able to fix it.

    We asked AHS if they could send somebody else because we had no heat. What had happened was, by the fan not shutting off continuously after four days, the fan burnt out again. We made several phone calls and I pleaded with them to send somebody, and they said they couldn't until that provider sent them back a confirmation via email or something that they weren't gonna come.

    Finally, after about three weeks of going back and forth, AHS said that they would send someone else out, and they were gonna refund the money. In the meantime, because we had no heat, I wound up taking care of it myself. I just couldn't stand there and watch myself bleed to death without doing something for myself in lieu of waiting. We had somebody else come out and they just gave it a second opinion and said everything looked good then. I wound up fixing it myself because I had to at that point, and I was desperate. I was afraid of other things like having frozen pipes. I had no heat on one whole side of the house, and that side has running water. It has all the things that could create a problem. I was also told that AHS does not cover frozen pipes.

    AHS refunded the $137 fee, but I still feel like it's a scam. We've had about had 3 claims to them. One claim was cut and dry. First of all, we didn't choose them out of the box. When we bought the house, it was a gift from our real estate agent. Six months on the first year that we were here, the dryer had an issue and went. Somebody came out here, and they said it was beyond repair. I was told to pick out one and they'd give me a check. It was a good experience that time. The next claim was the washing machine. That was what I was confusing it into. That gentleman came out and tried to do a repair. It worked for about a week, and then we had a problem. It was something tied into that same problem, and I felt that they were just doing the minimum. The tech had to come out three times, and we finally got that resolved.

    Then we had a problem with the air handler, but this was during the air conditioning side of it. On the same air handler, the fan wasn't coming on. That gentleman came out and replaced the contactor. First, he pulled out the fan and he said he didn't like the readings of the fan itself. Then I went back downstairs and I saw him putting back in the old fan that he pulled out, and he said he thought it was just the relay. And I said, “Well, if you didn't like the readings of the fan, why didn't you just leave the new fan in there with the relay, because maybe the relay caused the fan damage or the fan damage caused the relay or, maybe they were tied to one another?” He said, “No. I put the old fan back in.” I looked at my wife and I was like, “It probably took him more time and effort to do that. And if he didn't like the readings, what changed now?” That was in August.

    In December, we had the same problem with the same fan and the same relay. So, it came back to haunt them. That kinda proved my point that they're just trying to do the minimum. We also had a thermostat issue where the person came out and said it was a board. I had a board that controls another fan issue on a different unit because we have three zones. The person came out and said it was probably the timer board that's part of the unit, but it's much easier for him if he would just replace the thermostat with one that controls the fan and not the board. I'm an elevator mechanic, so I'm a little bit knowledgeable. I understand it was easier for him, but it was not good for me. What he did worked. He was gone, and we just live with it. it's still like that to this day. Overall, the first experience with AHS was great and it progressively got worse, and then the last experience was horrible to the point I told them I'm gonna cancel.

    American Home Shield had All American Service of Georgia come out to check on our gas furnace. My furnace was deemed need to be replaced. We just had the ice storm here in Georgia. It's really cold. American Home Shield offered me $500 for the furnace. But I asked them, "How can that cover a furnace? If y'all are saying y'all can replace the furnace, and it would be $2,300 extra, so what does 500 do?" They gave me the guidelines of how they got so many furnaces come in, and that's the price, and this is how they price it. I asked them, "What's the point of being a Platinum coverage holder for five years if I'm not getting the coverage they're saying in the fine print?" So, they told me that there's some finer print, and smaller than the fine print that says their HVAC systems are limited to up to 5,000 and I told them, "Yes, sure. I still didn't understand the 500 if I got coverage up to 5,000."

    I wanted to source out a different company other than the company that they referred. I had some estimates from another company nd they thought that the $500 was ridiculous. So, I called in and tried to get a breakdown of how they came up with the 500. I read in their fine print that if you ask for a breakdown, they're supposed to provide you with a breakdown of how the number is accumulated. So, I asked them, "Was my permit coverage in there also, which is 250 extra?" They gave me a, "Why would we need a permanent coverage or something?" I said, "Oh, okay. It's in the plan, so I would think that would be added in there. That's why I wanted to see a breakdown of how did y'all come up with that number."

    Other than that, we ended the call with me canceling, and American Home Shield offered to send me $125 of my service request back to cover the next month. But I told them, "I need my furnace covered. It's the middle of winter and the furnace is deemed broken. It's no good." So, that's where we're at with it right now. I've reached out to American Home Shield all through this month. Sometimes I get a customer service agent that's trying to help, and sometimes I hit a brick wall, and I get transferred here and there. Then I get hung up on. So, it's bad. I've been with American Home Shield for five years paying, paying, and paying, so I shouldn't have to have these debates and back and forth. They told me to give them three days and then it was another three days, then five days and then 10 days. I told them I had to file an arbitration. So, I'm in the process of getting that done.

    The most recent claim I filed to American Home Shield was for my refrigerator. National Platinum Services came out, and we got the diagnosis and an estimate from them on December 23rd. The refrigerator would make this bucking noise, which I could hear since my bedroom is over the kitchen. I could hear this noise as if the motors inside the fridge are switching. Also, the ice maker was not making ice. The temperature on it is supposed to be at 0. It would go as high as 5. I told the tech about that, and he replaced the ice maker.

    The tech didn't seem that knowledgeable. The ice maker's been replaced, but the bucking noise is still going on. I thought about taking my video camera and putting it in the kitchen in front of the refrigerator and recording the noise. I felt like he was ignoring it. Now, the freezer is making ice, but the bucking noise is still going on and the temperature still rises on the refrigerator. Right on the front of the refrigerator, it states the temperature should be 0 and 38, but that 0 goes up to 4 and 5.

    I've been protected with American for years. I've been living here five years. I had them at my other house, too. So, when I sold the other house, the people there took over that warranty. When I moved here, I just continued with the American Home Shield warranty. I find it convenient to be able to go online and set up a service call. That's probably one of the reasons why I've been with them so long. It's just a matter of going online and putting in the service call, and then someone calls you within 24 hours. What I feel that could be improved would be the price. The $107 that I pay every month is astronomical. I'm gonna do an investigation to look into another company because I'm paying a $100 service fee and I also pay $107 a month for the contract, and that's expensive to me. My service fee used to be $75, and then they raised it to $100 without even telling me.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we’re truly sorry the refrigerator issue still isn’t resolved. You should feel confident that the technician is addressing the actual problem, not just replacing a part without fully investigating the noise and temperature concerns. Your video idea is helpful, and we encourage you to share it so the issue can be properly evaluated. We appreciate your long‑term loyalty and completely understand your concerns about cost—your feedback is important. We’re here to help ensure the right steps are taken to get your refrigerator working as it should.

    It wasn't heating within my house. American Home Shield sent Elite Air & Heat out. They serviced my unit and determined that there was a hole. I have what we call the gas pack. The air-conditioner portion of it had a hole in it. My unit is old and they said they don't make that part anymore. So, I requested a buyout to purchase a new system. I got the runaround for almost three weeks about paying it out because they wanted me to use their services that's attached to them. I don't have $6,000 to $7,000. I'm retired and on a fixed income. I've been trying to get them to give me the buyout so I can purchase my own from another company that was cheaper that's not within their service center.

    Yesterday, after I've called and called for three weeks trying to get them to send me the money so I can get an air condition unit, I escalated it and they got tired of me. They sent me a response and they're giving me a $2,000 buyout. To me, I should be getting more, but I wasn't gonna argue with them. I was tired. I've called and spoke to several representatives. I don't do anything online. I wanna hear somebody tell me something. Apparently, they don't document from one person to the next because they told me I had to file this form and I was on the third form. We were getting to do the fourth form when I called them on Monday. That was not acceptable. I'd already put in three other forms. Why am I putting in another one? I've been in HR for over 30 years and there's nothing that I don't document when somebody comes into my office. The AHS reps couldn't find where I had even called in and asked for a request.

    I was not a happy camper with American Home Shield. I will not recommend them. They take my money every month in an automatic withdrawal. I've never been late because they automatically withdraw from my account. They repaired this one unit for years knowing that the unit was dying and they still keep replacing the parts. Every time somebody comes out, they know that the unit is on its last leg. I'm sitting in a cold house because they can't repair it, but they don't wanna give me a buyout so I can get a new one. If I was gonna use one of the contractors that they suggested, then it was fine. They would give that contractor the money right then and there. Since I did not use the contractor that they suggested, then they dragged their feet.

    When we needed some type of service in case there's an issue, we looked at a couple different companies and went with American Home Shield as they were the best for us to suit our needs. Recently, there was a noise that the HVAC systems were making, and we wanted to verify that there was nothing wrong with them. That was during that time period when it got really cold. Somebody else was supposed to come, but a repairman from Mike's Clean Air ended up coming. A lady called me and said Caleb would be there tomorrow. Caleb showed up and he was top-notch. However, there was nothing wrong with neither one of the systems, so he didn't have to fix anything but I was charged the service call fee of $125. I also pay $99 a month and that could always be cheaper.

    Other than that, I'm really pleased with that service call. It was late Monday night when I put in the ticket so using American Home Shield's online tool was very convenient. They processed all the paperwork and Caleb was out on Wednesday. It was so expeditiously performed, and he was customer service at the best. He was a younger guy but he was excellent even down to the point where I was concerned with him coming in the house and going upstairs with his shoes on after he walked in the grass. He went out, took a look at the systems, and did everything. When he came back in the house, he took off his shoes. I would recommend American Home Shield. They've come out a couple times, both with the HVAC systems, and the process has been seamless. One thing that happened on the first time they came out was they only serviced one unit. But the lady from American Home Shield that I spoke with didn't ask me how many units I had.

    My experience with American Home Shield is bad. I would like to cancel. I will keep the subscription until another two months, which is gonna be a little less money. I don't need it and I'm fed up. I pay them whenever I need service and they don't bear with me. So, there is no point. This seems like a complete scam to me. Price-wise, it is high, but service is bad. When I talk to their customer service team, they understand me, but they don't do the work. If I ask them where I can email, they don't even provide the email address where can I send everything if I have any document to send.

    I had a claim with the garage door, and they found there was a spring broken. There is a single rod and inside of it, there are two springs. These springs were never changed, and the spring life is no more than three to four years. So, when the spring broke, it is easy to understand, from my point of view, that that whole rod should be changed so that it can work properly. What the technician did was to change one of the springs on one side. That means the other spring will be breaking. If one side is broken, it doesn't mean that only that side needs to be changed because both of them are four years old. The technician, so far, also mentioned that. He commented that two springs needed to be changed. AHS just didn't approve it. If it goes bad next month, I have to pay the $125 service charge again.

    My latest experience with them was with my broken AC. AHS didn't help me on that one. They gave a lot of reason for not fixing it. The technician gave me the reason that it was broken by surge. There was no surge. That was due to wear and tear. The AC unit was 14 years. AHS just doesn't help me. So, I decided not to go with them with anything. I have few other friends who are with AHS, too. I shared this experience a few times, and they have the same feeling that AHS is like that.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been okay so far. Recently, there was a little piece that goes in the faucet that the plumber had to replace. He told me how to get the parts 'cause they were still under warranty. It took the manufacturer forever to send the parts, but they sent them. Then the plumber came back out and put them in. But I didn't like that they sent me a bill. He said American Home Shield would cover it and I would think it would be directly sent to them. He said that they would close out the work order and take care of it.

    I tried to do the claim online, but I ended up having to talk to somebody because I was trying to do my washer, too. But American Home Shield was saying that it wasn't covered and I don't really get that part. That was the whole point of me getting the package for electronics. They also said my TV wasn't covered. I probably will end up taking it off because it doesn't seem like it would serve a point if it's not going to cover certain things on my washer and my TV.

    It's been quite a frustrating experience. We submitted a service request to American Home Shield all the way back in November for someone to come out and look at our cooktop. When the initial technician came out, he looked at the range and asked me for help to move the range out of where it was. It is an extremely heavy unit and it fell on my finger. I mentioned that to all of the people that I spoke to, but they probably fell flat on deaf ears. Then he said to expect a call from their company for next steps. After that I got a call from American Home Shield telling me that the company was not allowed to go back to our unit for some reason. I asked over and over why they weren't allowed but I wasn't given a response.

    Then American Home Shield sent out Gator Appliance. I gave them a specific direction on what time they need to be there because the building has very specific requirements on when they can work. I tried to confirm with them three or four times just to make sure, but that didn't happen. The first time that the tenant was there, they waited from 9:00 to 5:00 even though the window was in the morning then they moved it to night. But they never showed up. The second time they came out, they went to diagnose the unit, they said they didn't have access to the electric box and that they needed access to it but they weren't allowed to to do it themselves. They said that we needed to move the unit, send them a picture that the unit has been moved, and they'd go out there.

    We did that and I had to pay 50 bucks to one of the guys at the front desk to go and move the unit. That means we have to put it back in its space so that's more money out of our pockets again. Then we rescheduled and they came back out. It's been so many times and I've forgotten what the last mix-up was but the update was that the case was closed. I saw it on the app that they marked the case as finished. I got American Home Shield involved and told them I don't even wanna work with Gator anymore because it's been so frustrating, and it's also been since November. American Home Shield has sent the options for replacement, so we've made progress since then, but up until three days ago, it's been terrible.

    The water would get hot but as you take a shower it would get cold all of a sudden then hot again. The repairman changed a filter inside the valve. The filter sometimes could be clogged and it would affect the water. That seemed to handle the problem. I tried it a few times and it was working okay. But when my son came out to visit just a couple of weeks ago, it was having the same issues. It's kind of hard to figure out what's causing the problem. The repairman was saying it was most likely because the tankless water heater is old that eventually, that's going to have to be replaced. He was telling me the only way American Home Shield would cover the problem is if it's totally broken down.

    It's a guest shower and I don't ever use it. One of the things that the gentleman was saying was I need to use it more often. There was nothing else he could do at that point. But he was pretty good and very professional. I just let it go and I'm waiting for the tankless water heater to really break down where most likely American Home Shield would cover the problem at that point.

    The contractor through American Home Shield didn't come on the initial visit. I had to call back and schedule another visit with a different company. He came out the next day. The person at Home Shield didn't transfer it all over properly because I was having two issues. I've been having an issue with my garbage disposal, and I was having a backup in my basement. That was on the initial claim. But the first time, nobody showed up. The person at Home Shield that put the second claim in didn't put in for the backup at the basement. So, the first guy that came in only fixed the garbage disposal. Then another company had to come. I had to call them back again because he didn't fix the drain in the basement. The other company came two days later and looked at the basement. He said it needed to be replaced. He left, and then I didn't hear from him again.

    About four days later, I was having the same problem. I put in a claim with American Home Shield. Then the guy called me back and told me that it needed to be replaced, that he would give me an estimate, and said Home Shield wouldn’t repair it. I go, “Well, nobody told me that.” The guy that came told me what was wrong with it, and he said he'd be back with me. He never did, so I had to call them back from Home Shield. And then the other guy called me back, told me that it needed to be replaced, and he was gonna give me an estimate. Then later on that day, he sent me an estimate for $2,800, and that was it.

    We gotta call around for a couple of different other plumbers to get different estimates, because he was telling me that they have to jackhammer the floor to replace that and it was gonna be $2,800 to get the job done. So, right now, I'm calling around to different companies to get estimates on getting the job done because I thought that was high to do that. He said American Home Shield didn’t pay for it, but I hadn't even talked to American Home Shield on it anyway.

    We had a pretty high-dollar Maytag Pet Pro washer and the agitator and the motor had gone out. We only had it for two years. American Home Shield sent a technician out and he went through the whole thing with it and tore it apart. He said it was looking like the motor and gearbox in it were bad. He also said he'd call it dead and get me a new claim. He was awesome. He came in and didn't have much room to work with in the laundry room, but he did his job. American Home Shield replaced our washing machine and gave us so much towards a new one.

    The only thing was when they originally did our replacement refund, the e-card was for a lesser amount. We called them back and told them we had a $1000 Maytag Pet Pro and they only had $600-something for the replacement. What happened was they didn't have the equal options on there. They had a Maytag but it didn't have the Pet Pro option. But when we went on the phone with them through it, they fixed it immediately. They made sure that we had the same options and we had our washer within the week.

    We've recommended American Home Shield to several of our friends already. It's a good protection to have. You know they'll replace your item with a like item or the next option closest to it. We've been watching a friend have problem after problem at her house and her air conditioner is gonna get ready to go. We were telling her she should be signed up with American Home Shield and that for 50 bucks a month they're gonna fix what's broken for a lot cheaper than she's gonna pay. But she never gets it so we quit telling her because she won't listen.

    If you don't have American Home Shield, you're screwing up. We got American Home Shield when we bought the house. We requested it because our friend had it and American Home Shield was an option. Then we continued to pay for it after that first year because it made more sense. We haven't had to use it in the first couple of years that we had it, but they have high coverage. We have the coverage for $4,000 appliance. If we don't use it for six years and we pay every month for six years, it's money well spent when something goes. For $100, they'll replace your air conditioner or your washing machine. It doesn't make sense to not do it.

    I filed a claim for a gas furnace. American Home Shield got everything set up for us and got an email sent to me saying who was gonna be the service provider to come out and do everything. However, I paid $125 for what I'm supposed to pay and come to find out I have to pay almost half of what the bill is gonna be. If I'm paying $30 a month and I also pay $125 for someone to come out, I shouldn't have to pay anything for the furnace. It should be covered.

    The contractor came out on a Friday. We got our loan on Sunday and got deposited into our bank on Monday. I called and paid them $3,502 on Tuesday. They got their money and sent me a receipt for it. But we still have not had anybody come out to put the furnace in. They said they're still waiting on parts. But why am I waiting almost three weeks to get a furnace when I've already paid them? Why can't they get anybody out here in a timely manner? They should do a little bit better job and get over to my house and get this stuff done.

    Right now, I'm not happy. My wife has already took time off work. My boss doesn't wanna give me the time until I give him an exact time so I can be there too. We're losing all kinds of stuff. I also got kids at home and we've been without heat for two weeks. I called one person who I dealt with and they told me it'll be Thursday at about 10 o'clock in the morning. They gotta come from Columbus. This was yesterday. Then I called Fast Response today to verify everything. They said don't have me on the schedule for anything and they were gonna have to call and talk to the parts department.

    When the technician first came out, he was only there about five minutes. He stuck a camera up inside the furnace and said it is cracked. He also said he was not relighting it for me as it's dangerous and that I needed a new furnace. American Home Shield needs to cover a little bit more instead of saying we gotta come up with money that some people just don't have. But other than that, it's good. It was easy to get around the website when I checked the status. When I called them about all this yesterday, they said they would look into it and get back with me. They even tried to get ahold of the company who's supposed to be coming out to do it but they couldn't get ahold of them either.

    It took awhile for somebody to pick up the claim. J 21 Electrical Services finally picked it up and the initial visit was fine. They came out and evaluated what needed to be done. One of my outlets caught on fire and I asked them to check several of the other outlets that were tied to it because the GFIs had tripped. They said they did and that they were gonna submit to American Home Shield what needed to be repaired.

    My problem came when it was time for them to come back. They canceled on me twice because they didn't have enough calls in the area. A repairman finally came out on the 20th and it took him a very short time. All he did was replace the outlet that caught fire and said he was gonna reset the GFIs even though they tripped. I don't know if that's proper or not. But everything seems to be functioning well. I did not use the outlet as he said to give it a couple days. He had to reset the whole junction box in there. I plugged into it today, and it's working. They fixed everything and were very efficient but my only concern was the fact that I had an exposed outlet for three weeks because they didn't come out. But as far as their work and quality, I was pleased.

    I've had American Home Shield for several years. I've only had this contract for about four months, but I had the service several years before. I have been pleased with my service but they had gotten so expensive that I couldn't afford the service anymore. Then they ran the special for $35 a month so I re-signed my contract. I like American Home Shield. I haven't had a problem with them in denying claims. Usually, when I have a claim, somebody's out within the next day or two and my problems have always been resolved fairly quickly. I have recommended them to a friend that signed up for the service also. If you have an older or not a brand-new home, American Home Shield is a good service to have because it helps on the cost.

    I'm very glad that I have American Home Shield. They have been one of the best companies I've dealt with and I got only good things to say about them since I've had them. Every time I call, everybody's real pleasant. I called them about three weeks ago when I had problems with my shower, and their contractor came out in no time. The plumber fixed the issue in less than 10 minutes. It was simple, and I'm very happy because taking a cold shower in the winter time is not that pleasant. The contractors they send out are very polite and are always on time. They do their job, and they're in and out.

    Every time my printer would come on, it would drain the power down in my office and RDB Electric blamed it on the printer. It wound up being that I could take it back, but at the time, we didn't know that it had a burnt spot on it. I'm happy with RBD coming out. They've been out twice. But American Home Shield didn't cover the light. I had to do that myself and take care of it. And then the electric company put it back on. Every time I call AHS for anything, it’s not covered. But they still charged me $68.50 a month, $900 a year. And I don't need that kind of service.

    American Home Shield was great in the past. I had a problem with the refrigerator after I first moved into a house, and they wound up replacing it. But when I called about the pump in the sewer system, the rep at AHS said it wasn’t covered. It only covers some kind of a pump or something for it. And I said that's it. I'm not paying for something. I paid $133 for somebody coming out to check on something and all I get are excuses. When I got the warranty, it said that the pump was covered. I'm fed up with American Home Shield. I had them probably for eight years on two houses and I will never go back to them. People complain about it all the time on Google and their rating is horrible. They're not worth it. I got several places that have much better service.

    We purchased the Homeshield Plus, within a month of buying the home the water heater went out. The first home warranty place we tried said they did not cover our area, then we were told to go to American Home Shield. They said, "Yes we cover your area." We called to place a claim, they said they do not have anybody that services our area. We need to find someone ourselves then submit for reimbursement. Element replaced. Submitted claim no problem. Approximately 2 weeks later no hot water again, same thing. Have the same people come out we were told. They came out. Identified the water heater needs replacement.

    We contacted AHS, the technician described the problem to AHS and provided them with a cost breakdown. AHS stated we would need to pay about $125 out of pocket on top of $125 service fee, we said not a problem. We submitted the claim for $2500+ and they authorized and cut a check for $1700 without discussing it with us. They refused to explain why there was a difference of $800 they were not paying. Talked to their escalation department once, now they refuse to accept call stating they have explained why the amount is different. Totally unsatisfied with this company and will never do business with them.

    American Home Shield was supposed to be a program to assist with, if needed, a new AC/heating system, and they sent someone out. The guy from Elite Air & Heating took some photos and said they would send a quote in reference to it. They sent me an email and gave me quoted amounts of what it would cost to have the system replaced. I spoke with a guy, Jason, and he said I have to explain what would need to happen for the system to be replaced. And that hadn't happened. So, they were not replacing it.

    I’ve had a couple of claims with American Home Shield and I usually call. They charge a fee and then they have a company come out to take care of whatever needs to be taken care of. It usually takes 48 hours to get someone out. Most of the contractors I've dealt with have been good. There were a couple of times when I called and there was a language barrier. But other than that, for the most part, they've been good. Since we bought our home, I’ve dealt with American Home Shield, and for what I've used them for, everything's been covered. I get quite a few emails with updates and information on coverages for different things, and sometimes they have a cost in them. But looking over my policy, they tell you exactly what they do and don't cover. I've mentioned AHS to about five people and I would recommend them.

    Green 2 Crystal came out and fixed the pool pump. I placed the claim online and the turnaround time was fast, and it was a great experience. But last year, when my water heater went out, American Home Shield sent a company that had horrible 1-star reviews because they would try to tell you stuff wasn't up to code and try to charge you extra. I asked AHS to send me a different company, but they said no. So, they sent out the company, and they told me that the water heater wasn't up to code. So, I called American Home Shield. They said they'd just pay me out for the water heater, which was 500 bucks. So, I had to pay a plumber to come out and install it, which cost me $900. The company said they don’t have to replace any plumbing. I don’t appreciate American Home Shield using vendors who are suspect.

    The person that American Home Shield sent out tried to take advantage of me. He replaced a $500 switch that did not need to be replaced and said that I met my quota. Then, I was told I needed a new pump, new floaters, and several other items, and that it would cost an additional 4,000 to 5,000 to complete the job. He may have assumed I would agree to that cost, and I probably would have if I had not done some research with my neighbors afterward and contacted Biggs Backhoe, which has always handled the maintenance and pump care. I called AHS and we talked about this, and I used Biggs. They told me they could install a brand-new pump for a brand-new house for about the amount I was quoted.

    AHS wanted me to call back in and talk to an upper-level person about this whole situation. Things have not gone well with the experience and I'm hoping American Home Shield will make this right. I still have an invoice and a letter to send to them regarding the septic system, because they said they might come back and pick that up for me due to the whole experience. But I'm just now working on that.

    The customer service reps are very hard to understand most times and the techs don’t necessarily know what they're doing. One of the last visits in the past two months was for the hot water tank that went out in the garage and the installer thought my whole panel was screwed up. He said his equipment was not showing the proper voltage in different areas, in which case he didn't think he could fix it. I asked if he could talk to a friend of mine, Dale, who has an electric business. He has always done all the maintenance before I got American Home Shield.

    Dale got on the phone with him and was on there for quite a while because Dale kept telling him that they had just been out the other day and everything tested fine. The other person insisted it was not testing fine, and Dale responded that he did not know what else to suggest other than that the equipment might be faulty. By the end of the conversation, the man said his equipment was working properly, that he was getting the correct readings, and that he believed they were good to go. So far, the hot water heater has been working.

    My sink was backed up. I went online to submit a claim with American Home Shield and it was very easy for me. Then, I got the name of the company, as well as the date and the time of the service appointment. The techs who came out were very efficient, polite, and professional. They explained what they were doing and what caused the problem. It turned out that my sink was backed up due to food collection. They also repaired two toilets in my house because when you flush them, they would continually run. They replaced some parts in both of them, and they were done within an hour and a half for all three items. Since then, everything has been working perfectly.

    But I found it odd that the parts that they replaced in both toilets were left in my waste paper basket in the bathroom. Other than that, the service was quick and it worked. They came on a Saturday, so it suited my schedule. They also showed up early that day. They called first and said that they were in the area earlier than they thought, so they asked if could they come then. And they did.

According to American Home Shield's policy, if something breaks down, they will take care of it unless it's misused and abused. But they said it was abused and misused, which doesn't make sense. We're senior citizens. We do not misuse and abuse anything. We have three kids with the same microwave and they never had a problem.

    Everything in the refrigerator was getting warm and there was no refrigeration. I initially called American Home Shield but was on hold for about two hours with no one ever coming on the phone. I finally went onto the website and did the claim that way. They took a payment then sent me a text message saying that a particular company was assigned to come out between a certain day and that they would be reaching out to me. When the repairman came out, he said that it was the motherboard. He plugged out the outlet and plugged it back in. Then he checked the back of refrigerator and said to wait a little time to turn it on. We were left with nothing.

    It was around Christmas time so we were using our garage refrigerator, transporting things back and forth into the house. We were waiting for a resolution but my son said we couldn't do it anymore so he bought a new refrigerator. That left me thinking why am I paying $60 a month for a home warranty service that doesn't ever do what it says. We had an oven that was out on Thanksgiving. It didn't get fixed until April, and it's not really fixed. When you turn on the oven, it has a big humming noise and the digital portion where the clock is is out completely when the oven's on. They fixed it enough where we can still bake or cook things in the oven, but they didn't fix it back to its original state.

    I don't want any of my major appliances to go out where I can't have a home warranty service. But it's frustrating because the folks that come out either have poor English or take too long to figure out things or tinker with things I don't think they're experienced with. They're Mickey-Mousing it. With American Home Shield, someone will come out to look at something and maybe be able to fix it or maybe not, and you would be dealing with less than great service companies.

    I paid for a professional plumber to come out here for a plumbing issue and he said the issue was the dishwasher. I called American Home Shield to file the claim and they wanted the dishwasher information which I gave to them. But the gentleman that they sent out said it was not the dishwasher, it was something in the drain. He pulled out a hose and it wasn't trash. Whatever he did fixed the problem. But when pe put the dishwasher back in, he didn't level it so every time you open it up, the front and the bottom rack goes back in. It won't stay out unless I physically am holding it.

    We stopped using American Home Shield because I was so dissatisfied with the service I was getting. I was being referred to people who would call four or five days later. A lot of times when I call American Home Shield, I get the runaround. I've had their contractor come out and paid the $125 copay but they didn't have anything to do with the issue. Two years ago, we had a problem with the line leading to the septic, not the septic itself. They don't have anything to do with it, but there's no clause saying that.

    Though I ended up getting back in touch with American Home Shield, we don't use them often. I now have plumbing and electrical coverage with another company and pay a premium rate. It's a $59 service charge for them to come out here and they will tell me what the problem is. I have the option if I want them to fix the issue. It's been worth my while.

    American Home Shield generally does what they're supposed to do and a lot of it has to do with the service people that are coming out here. Some of them are better than others but for the most part, I've been happy with most of the people that have come out here. I've referred a couple of people to American Home Shield, someone as recently as three months ago. For someone with older appliances, I tell them to go ahead and do American Home Shield because they either fix the issue or replace what's broken.

    I placed a claim online when we had some issues with our heating system. A repair guy was out on the same day, and he was great. This was when we had a huge, cold front roll through the area and a repair guy getting out on the same day was amazing because I'm pretty sure they were swamped with calls that day. On the first day, he worked with it but unfortunately, we had an issue the next day. He came right back out and did it. It was nothing that was broken. It was a setting that was off. Once he knew that the problem was reoccurring, then he knew to look for the settings. He fixed the settings and everything was perfect.

    On this claim, I didn't have to interact with anybody directly as I did it online, but the fact that the message got sent to the contractor then the contractor responded on the same day was very impressive even though the online thing said it could take up to 24 to 48 hours for a response. It was on the weekend too to boot. Not having to find a contractor that would come out and the fact that American Home Shield has a lineup of contractors that they could reach out to was very nice. A house with no heat and it being freezing outside and snowing is not a pleasant experience. But the entire experience with American Home Shield was very simple and straightforward.

I had them for a year but had some issues with the service so I canceled. Then money got tight so I went ahead and got them again. But their price went up. When I had an issue with the cooktop, American Home Shield took forever to get that replaced. Then the cooktop they sent didn't fit, so I had to pay out of pocket to get that installed. That was a bit of a nuisance. But it still saved me several hundred dollars on replacing the cooktop out of pocket.

    Recently, I had an issue with the HVAC. The motor stopped working and the blower wasn't working. American Home Shield sent out a technician and he repaired the motor. He reconnected one of the emergency heat strips in the HVAC system but it started tripping the circuit breaker. He said I needed a bigger circuit breaker so I submitted another work order through American Home Shield to get that fixed. They sent out somebody who confirmed I needed a bigger circuit breaker but also said it was not covered under the home warranty.

    I paid 100 bucks for them to come out and tell me what I already knew and I had to pay another 200 bucks to have somebody else come out and do the actual work ‘cause the home warranty wouldn't cover it. I had the electrician that originally came out. He contacted the American Home Shield who called the HVAC company. They were saying there was nothing in the work order about the emergency heat strips and that there's no proof that the repairman connected it. I was very dissatisfied.

    I had filed a claim with American Home Shield in 2024 ‘cause the garage door wasn't working, and they sent one of their people out to fix it. I had two springs on the door at the time. The guy told me I didn’t need two, I only needed one. He changed it and got the opener working. It worked for a month or two then it quit working. It finally gave up a month ago.

When they finally got out there to look at it, they told me it wasn't covered because I didn't even have the right spring on my door. I told them they were the ones that put the thing on but they kept saying it wasn't. I went back and dug up my invoices and it was. They wanted me to pay $1,100 to have new springs put on when they were the ones that put the wrong one so I told them I wasn't gonna do it. I went round and round.

    Finally, the garage door company that American Home Shield was using came back out, put the right spring on there and replaced my garage door opener for free. It was a hassle but they took care of it. American Home Shield makes things right. But it seems like anything could be broke down, and they're just gonna keep nickel-and-diming it till it completely gives out.

I can reach someone from customer service but they are never helpful. They give me inaccurate information.

    American Home Shield has had contractors come see us before that gave us what seemed like fake quotes with fake items on their itemized invoices that they could not explain. American Home Shield could vet their contractors a little better. We went without heat for two months at one point because they couldn't handle things. This time, it was three weeks. A-Fix Service came out for a dishwasher issue. They were very helpful. The dishwasher is now functioning well.

    I always reach out to American Home Shield on the phone. I like to talk with people with a heartbeat. I've only called them twice and I never had an issue with them. The experience has always been very positive. They were very responsive and provided the service I required. The contractor came out for a backup in my sink in the kitchen. When I would turn on my garbage disposal, the water would come up. I have a double sink. It would come up on the other side. I've been in my home for 56 years. I've never had that happen.The tech gave me some tips regarding what I should and not put down in my garbage disposal. He told me that even pasta that you put down there can swell and block things up well, which I didn't think of pasta doing anything like that. I don't put grease down in it.

    When submitting claims to American Home Shield, I usually call or go online and I've had no issues at all. It's easy peasy and everyone seems very pleasant, knowledgeable, quick, efficient, and perfect. I've had a few claims, including for our furnace and water heater, and they processed them. For my furnace, I'm still waiting on a call back. This is back in January. I had it installed on January 9th, and this is just for the furnace, but the technician that came out disabled my whole air conditioning system. I'm still waiting on some type of resolution from American Home Shield or Frontdoor to figure out what's going to happen, because I am not paying for anything related to my air conditioner. There was nothing wrong with my air conditioner at all.

    It was not part of the original job that the technician was supposed to be working on, but he disabled the entire system. He cut copper piping and disconnected wiring. He took my coil out of the ceiling. From what I understand, one job had nothing to do with the other, so he should not have touched it. So, I'm not very happy. The furnace has been repaired, and it's working perfectly fine, but now I have another system that he disabled. Other than that, American Home Shield keeps my peace of mind. I'd tell people to sign up but also understand their policy, especially when they know what's covered and what's not.

    We've had American Home Shield for about three years. We were recently new homeowners. We bought the home back in '22. So, we've had it since then. We've had ongoing issues with our refrigerator. They sent Astro Illinois for the repair. This specific claim was opened, and we've had Astro come out three different times. Initially, they had to come out to assess the situation, then they, reviewed it, and determined that they needed to order some parts. The first time, it took about a week, and then it took them about two more weeks thereafter to come back to install it. At that point, they said, "Okay. Well, your fridge is not defrosted, and we can't perform the work." We were like, "Well, no one told us it had to be defrosted." So, we were out another week without a fridge because we couldn't get an appointment. So, it was three weeks without a fridge at that point.

    The third time they came out was the final time, and then they had to replace the pieces that they thought were faulty. We are not happy with the overall service between American Home Shield and Astro, just given that we've had this exact issue with our fridge happen four other times, and it seems like whatever they're doing is a band-aid fix. We're frustrated. A fridge should be working. It shouldn't continue breaking down. It's just the same thing that happens every six months or so, and then we do this little dance all over again.

    I've used American Home Shield a few different times. I've had them on both of my properties, and the problem that I have is every time I use them, there's always an additional cost. And it's not like a couple hundred bucks. It's always thousands of bucks. I had to get my air conditioning unit here on my house in Arizona. It crapped out, so they went ahead and took care of the parts, the labor, and the Freon. They weren't gonna do the freon, but it turned out my policy was a high-end policy, so they took care of the Freon. But to hook it back up cost 500 bucks. They said, “Well that's a custom part.” How the hell can it be custom? It's a part. You connect it to the house. They just re-hook what they took out back up. That's not custom.

    Other things didn't bother me. I had a pool pump claim, and that was fine. It just always takes extra days. That's kind of a pain in the butt, too, especially on the last one. I was 11 days without hot water in the winter at Christmas. Overall, American Home Shield was good at trying to keep me as a client. Even when my trash compactor in the sink went out, they took care of it fine. It took a couple days. It just takes a long time for these guys to get you going. Even after this thing was approved on the hot water heater, then I had to go through a purchase order process. Then I had to wait for that to happen. Then I had to wait for the plumber to come back again and get in their schedule. It would have been easier just to do it myself because to buy the hot water heater, the money I had to spend just to have it hooked up because they didn't cover this, that and the other thing, I could have done it myself cheaper.

    I've had an issue with my air conditioning unit and for months now, American Home Shield is not giving a solution. The service company is not even submitting the report properly. The customer care was telling me that the vendor will be giving the report and then they will fix the issue. He was not giving the right report. Initially, he did not submit the reports properly. My house has a very old equipment. He was recommending to change the whole system, and he gave me a quotation. I said, “I will not be able to afford it. You please go ahead and put whatever, the required thing to fix it.” He did not put it right way. Initially, he updated the system saying he fixed some wires and my AC was working. I have been waiting here for weeks thinking that they'd come back and fix it, but they closed the ticket saying that it got fixed, but it never got fixed.

    I asked them why they did that, and they didn't have any answer to it. I let American Home Shield know, too. My equipment was very old, so the gas in it was different with the latest equipment there are. So, AHS was like, "Oh, we have the coverage to replace the equipment, but we don't have the coverage to refill the gas." The vendor said, "Okay. We will fix it with the new equipment, but we'll put a new gas in it, but we'll not guarantee the 100% efficiency." At the end, I just got tired and settled with them with the cash payment. It was a really horrible experience for me.

    For me, what happened was, as soon as I raised a complaint about my AC not getting cool, there was a vendor who came in and checked saying that, “So, there might be a big problem in your AC. Even if we refill, it will work for a few days, but there's a big problem. We need to check it or we may have to replace it.” So, they recommended that. As soon as they recommended it, they changed the vendor without asking me and saying, “You're not satisfied with their service, so we changed it.” That was not true at all. They changed the vendor to their convenience and then they tried to play with me around.

    There were two areas in the home where the roof had leaked. Mountain Star Roofing was supposed to come out and patch up those leaks. We had our appointment scheduled for January 16th of this year 2026, and I advised that I wanted to be at home when the service was completed to ensure that they patched the right area of the roof. Without communicating with me, they did not go to that January 16th appointment. Instead, they showed up on January the 14th when I was at work. The pictures that they sent me of their completed work did not correspond to where the leaks were inside the house.

    I advised them of this, and their owner on the phone indicated that he would have some people come out on January 19th to fix that to my satisfaction. I said that was great because January 19th is the only day I have off because I'm a teacher and that's a holiday. However, nobody showed up to that January 19th appointment. Until 4:30 in the afternoon, one man came, I showed him the areas, didn't do anything else, and just left. It was very peculiar to me. I waited all day because they said they would be here between 8:00 to 10:00. And here at 4:30, this guy came and said, "Okay. Great. That there. Okay. Bye." I advised him of this. I called and texted the company all day long with no response. Their office manager told me, "I can't even get ahold of Randy. He's not even responding to my text and calls. He's on another high priority construction job."

    That told me, "You're not a priority. That's where he's at. He told you he was gonna come out and he didn't go.” He said he never said he would come. But through AHS, that appointment is scheduled in their system and there's no way that I could have done that. He knew he would come out between 8:00 to 10:30, but he couldn't make it because he had this other job. He left me hanging all day with no communication again.

    Now, he says that the work is done, all work has been completed, that has been approved and paid for. I kept telling him, "You are taking money and you did not do the job that you were paid to do. You're basically getting paid to do not the job that you were paid to do.” I was treated horribly for no good reason. He came out early. They did come out on January the 14th. Had they did it correctly, it would have been wonderful, but they didn't. And they started treating me like I did something wrong because I was upset that they didn't come out on the right day and they didn't get the right areas.

    This other adjuster who came out from Mountain Star Roofing asked if he could inspect my roof. He told me, "They didn't finish the job. They didn't do it. I'm gonna tell my boss this." But when Randy communicated with me, he said, "Oh, no. Pete just made recommendations on what you should do going forward. It's not that we didn't finish the work." They do this double talk. Randy doesn't have integrity. He lies straight to your face on the phone. That's why I started saying, "You know what? All of our communications need to be via email so that I have it in writing" because he goes back on what he says. I feel I was mistreated. He says now via email that the job is done, they're not coming back out, they're not doing anything, basically to suck it up.

    When I called American Home Shield, they could not get me another provider to come out and do the roof. The rep said, "That's the only one that we have. So, we can't reassign this to somebody else." I said, "So, they do me wrong and there's nothing you can do about it. You're just gonna pay them. There's nothing I can do. There's nothing you can do." She replied, "There's nothing I can do to help you. I would have done this before they came out." I said, "Don't tell me what you would have done. Don't tell me what you were going to do. Tell me what you're going to do right now. What are you gonna do to help me?"

    She said, "There's nothing I can do at this time 'cause they already went out, so you have to let them go out again." "But they missed their second appointment." "We can make them go out again." It's horrible. They did refund my service fee, but I still have to find somebody to fix my roof. My warranty company didn't help me. They've done this to me before on an appliance repair, too. They told me, "We only have that one provider." I said, "How do you tell me that you only have one provider when on your website, you're advertising that you have thousands of contractors?" I don't understand that.

    The lock itself was a two-piece. The lock in the bottom part of it was catching. The first time I put in the service request, the tech didn't come to see the problem. He asked for a video. I sent him a video of the door locking, and he said that wasn't a service covered by American Home Shield and it would cost us 100 and something dollars. I asked him for the brand to get it approved by the association. The claim was closed. We didn't hear back.

    I submitted it again and it was the same guy. We said, "The association said it was fine and you could come and change it." He went and changed the lock, which works fine. The issue where it was broken, my tenant said that he even said to him, "You're not gonna fix this?” He said, "No. That can't be fixed. It’s the whole part needs to be changed." It wasn't addressed at all. He went, charged the $100 to rekey the area, which was annoying because we talked to him multiple times that that wasn't the issue. And he charged us an additional $100 to do it. I went over there because I wasn't present, my tenant was. He said, "I was just gonna re-key." I replied, "No. That's not what we discussed. We discussed it. I have videos. I have our chat, our conversations, and everything."

    I told, "You told me that it wasn't covered by American Home Shield. But I still had to pay American Home Shield." He said, "Oh, yeah. You pay American Home Shield for me to go and evaluate the problem." I said, "You didn't evaluate the problem. You told me to send you a video, so I sent you a video." I paid AHS $125. He never went. I sent him a video. And when he went to fix the problem, he charged me to fix it and fix the wrong issue. Hhung up the phone when I told him he fixed the wrong thing. I understand if the issue was we just rekey. However, I specifically showed him that the problem was the door catched and door does not open. To not mention anything about the problem itself and come and fix something that wasn't broken is a big problem.

    I called back to AHS and it was like talking to a robot. The lady kept on reading the print or whatever was covered. I said, "I understand what you're saying that the coverage from American Home Shield is this, but that wasn't the situation. The situation is that we spoke with the locksmith himself. We told him what the issue was.” I didn't know the language of what she was trying to say, like the way that he said it, he said, "The unit needs to be changed." It means that he recognized that there was a problem and that area needed to be changed.

    Heven said, “That part is not made anymore. It's an old model. So, the new model cost this, this, and this.” I understood that he addressed the part that was broken. So, when I called AHS, the rep kept on saying that she needed to reach the locksmith and discuss it with him, but they were closed. I said, "Okay. So, what's the solution here?" Because the problem wasn't fixed and now, I'm $250 in the hole. What am I supposed to do now? I had the tech's cell phone number, so I called him directly. Once I started sending him the screenshots of our chats, he hung up on me and blocked my number. So, I tried to go to AHS.

    The rep kept on repeating it. "I have to talk to the locksmith." She wouldn't listen to what I was saying. I said, "Okay. Is somebody gonna call me back?" She said, "No. You have to follow up.” On Monday when I called back, it was like just reading whatever was covered. I said, "Nobody's listening to what I'm saying. I understand what you guys are saying and what the policy is. But at the same time, you send somebody to my house who knew what the issue was, addressed something that had nothing to do with what was broken and charged me an additional amount, and then charged me what American Home Shield charges without even going to evaluate the problem, personally.” I tried. I called two or three times.

    If you don't wanna pay out a lot of money for an appliance, using American Home Shield is the way to go, but you're gonna get the cheapest and worst contractors out there so it's gonna take them a few times to come. They will have to wait for parts to come. It's gonna take a lot longer and it's a lot more of a hassle and stress.

    Our hot water heater started leaking and flooding the basement. I submitted my claim for that with American Home Shield online and it went okay. However, I thought I asked AHS in the past not to send us Murray's Plumbing, yet they still assigned it and we didn't have a say so we just had to go with that. We weren't very happy with that, but it was an easy process.

    They called quickly to schedule it because we didn't have any hot water and it was flooded. We asked if it could be labeled as an emergency and could they come out that night and we were told no. It's disappointing that there are no emergency services. We had to wait a day to not be able to take a shower in the middle of winter. They came out the next morning, fixed it, but never tested it. It didn't leak anymore, but the water was cold so we had to have them come back out. It took another day for them to come back out and fix it again to where the water would get hot. Everything's repaired and working now.

    I had an air conditioner that caught on fire and they would not repair that because they said it was electrical damage. I had my own HVAC guy come and I had to pay him $1,200 to fix it. He said the fire was not caused by electrical damage. It was caused by a plastic piece that melted. If I don't agree with their recommendation, they can send somebody else out. But if that person agrees with the first person, I have to pay another $100 for it. I didn't want to pay $100 for a second opinion and have their person who didn't know what he's doing to come out and say the same thing. But I had to pay $1,200 to get it fixed when it should have been fixed by American Home Shield.

    We would never go through American Home Shield again. We'll drop them. I submitted our claim for our RV door online so it wasn't difficult. A contractor came out after six days but they didn't do anything. I just talked to AHS today. They denied it after three weeks of trying to get an answer from them, playing phone tag, emails, saying they would call me back. I filed the claim on the 8th of January, and today's the 28th. It took me this long to get an answer on where we are. They gave me the runaround. “Let me check a report. I have to check the report.” They couldn't get ahold of Winston Garage Doors. Winston Garage Doors would not reply to them. And they had to get the report before they could do anything. Two weeks went by, nothing happened.

    That's not my problem as a consumer. That's an internal problem. They should have assigned somebody else. And they would not do it until they got the report from Winston, who took two weeks to send a report. That's unacceptable for anything. I was disgusted in AHS's responses and their way of handling everything. It was not just because they denied it, but because of the runaround. They've never been great to work with. I'm always on pins and needles who they will assign to me and what they will cover. But this was the absolute worst.

    I've had four claims with AHS, yet they continue to increase their rates and change my coverage. We all know as consumers that we have to read through every fine line. Instead of them saying, “This was changed,” they don't highlight it. They sneak it through without telling us. In their system we select what I wanted covered, but somehow, they got around it because they changed it in the fine print but didn't tell me. It's deceitful. They are happy to take my payment without remorse. I can't do anything about it.

    AHS has not covered other claims. Our well stopped working and they couldn't get someone out here for us for five days. We can't go without water for five days, so we called somebody, but AHS they wouldn't cover it. They said, “You called somebody. You didn't wait for us.” That's unrealistic. Also, they don't have emergency services. “Sorry. We just are on their mercy.” That's ridiculous. Life doesn't happen on someone's schedule. I'd love it, but it's not life and it's not reality. That's why you have a company like that trying to help you out. But if they don't make it to where you have emergency situations that they will send somebody out right away, you're at your own mercy and have to handle the situation. However, they turn around and say, “Sorry, you already called somebody. We can't cover that.” That's another loophole to their advantage where they take my money but don't do anything to help me.

    I had some galvanized pipes in the crawl space that were from my bathroom sink that was leaking and Alstadt, the contractor, fixed that. They replaced with PVC all the piping from the toilet too, which wasn't leaking, but I'm glad they did. Then, they replaced the cast iron drain where everything drained to before it went out to the house. They had to cut into the wall behind the bathroom, but they told me about it so I fully expected it. It was just a little bit bigger than what I thought it would be, but that's okay because I already have something else scheduled to come fix that drywall. The two technicians who came out and fixed the pipes were awesome. They did an awesome job and I was very pleased.

    American Home Shield is very helpful and I’d recommend it. I don’t know exactly how much that would have been, but I would assume the drywall would have cost $500, so maybe around $1,000 total. I’ve dealt with other home warranties in the past, and they didn’t cover as much. It’s worth paying whatever small amount it may be to have something like that. Considering the size of the project, getting it knocked down to $125 was great.

    I was a little frustrated that American Home Shield didn't get enough information on the refrigerator and just sent out a repair guy who couldn’t fix it because he didn't have the tools. After a bit of a runaround, I said I wanted to set up another appointment immediately with someone who could work on our refrigerator. I got pushback about AHS’s policy and was told they couldn’t do anything until they received a report from the technician. So, I called the technician and asked if they had sent the report. They said they had sent it the day before and could send it again. I called AHS back and they told me they still didn’t have a report. I questioned who was being truthful because I had just spoken to the technician, who said it had already been sent. After that, there was more runaround and waiting on hold while they looked into it.

    American Home Shield finally sent another tech and they have to go through another diagnosis process themselves. So, it had to be diagnosed again, even if we already knew that the problem was a bad compressor. Then they have to order the parts and get approval from American Home Shield. It took a few more days before they sent the approval to the tech. And now, we're going on three weeks without a refrigerator. The tech felt sorry for us and made a special arrangement to come out of his service zone on Friday to come and replace the compressor.

    The customer service was trying to be as helpful as they could, but they're limited in what they can do. And I understand that. When I asked one of the call centers to escalate this up the chain, all she did was give me another call center person, and I asked that person if she was from a call center or higher up the chain with the company, and she told me she was with the company, but I'm not sure I believe that. Paying $125 for a service call versus $900 for a compressor is a good trade-off. But as far as my food getting spoiled because the refrigerator went bad, and waiting almost three weeks to get the refrigerator fixed is not so good. We bought a new house and signed up with American Home Shield just this year. And I'm thinking of looking for another company next year.

    American Home Shield’s customer service is good. I usually report or request my service call online. But the one thing I like about their service is that if it remains unresolved after a certain period of time, they will check with you to see how it's going. I appreciate that. For the most part, I’ve had positive experiences with the techs they sent out. In the two most recent calls, they were great. I was assigned one a while back that never contacted me, and I requested a change of technician. It got assigned to this one that I'm very pleased with.

    My heat was out and submitting the claim online to American Home Shield was difficult. I called because it was after hours, but I got someone. I just wanted to follow up and make sure it went through. The contractor communicated well, called when he arrived, and waited a few minutes for me since I wasn’t here. I shared what the problem was and he did what he was supposed to do. I left, and when I came back home, the heat still wasn’t working, so he had to come back out. I called American Home Shield on Friday night to let them know that what the contractor did didn’t work. It was freezing cold, and they should have something in place for situations like that. The service should be expedited. I’m paying every month and then I have to pay $127 for the service call, so American Home Shield didn't meet my needs.

    I was told the repair could only be expedited if I had one unit and it was 32 degrees outside. It was 35, so they said no. So, I cursed. I was livid. We were without heat on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The contractor came back on Monday and did a more thorough job. He showed me that there was water in a pipe or tube. The first time, he tried blowing through it, but the second time, he used a compressor and fixed it properly. Whatever he did on Monday worked, but it should have been done correctly the first time. That was my worst experience with American Home Shield, but I haven’t always had that.

    The contractor should have done a better job of doing what he was supposed to do. And AHS should have accommodated us by expediting the service or sending someone else, and that’s where I was upset. I've had American Home Shield on and off for years, and it's been up and down with them. I’ve had situations before where I was paid for claims, and it wasn’t so bad.

    I had an appliance issue and AHS sent out ADA Repair. They had to remove an oven to get to the microwave. The microwave was fixed. When they put the oven back, it's custom shelving, custom framed, and there was a block of wood that they set back in place, but it was never mounted. When you touched it, it fell by the wayside. I called AHS because I was concerned. They immediately called the vendor and found out that they needed to get the right repair equipment to fix the problem. And it's all been fixed fine. Also, we had two repairs and they all happened at one time. The refrigerator ice maker needed to be done and it was also fixed fine. All the appliances worked fine. It was all covered except the deductible. The premium is a little high from what we paid in the past, but I don't think it's outrageous.

    The first guy from ADA Repair that came out didn't do the job right. He ordered the wrong part. But the second person from the same company came out, ordered the right part, installed it, and did good. It would’ve been more timely if the guy didn't screw up and I wouldn't have had to wait over three weeks. It could have been done in one. Other than that, most of the time, it's hard to talk to American Home Shield's reps because English is their second language. I would also tell my friends to find somebody else. These guys have gotten too expensive. They do a good job when they get here, but the price keeps going up. I'm paying $1,200 a year now. It started off 12 years ago at $43 a month and now it's $135 a month, which is ridiculous.

    But most of the time, the agents are good. One guy came out for my air conditioner and he said the thing was nonrepairable. He said they had to replace it. Then I had the second guy come out and he said he could fix it for me. And in an hour and a half, he was out of the house and it was working. I also had people come out for the dishwasher and the stove who were able to fix them. So if I have problems, I wish I can pick the agent that I want that was here recently who did a good job.

But, if you're talking business days, it's pretty fast. But sometimes when something goes wrong, it doesn't matter if it's a weekend or a weekday. If something goes out, it's out.

    American Home Shield sent out Majestic Appliance Services for a dryer repair and it went great. The technician came out, told me that the wheels had just been worn down, and he was going to have to order the parts. It would take about a week, and he would come back and do the actual service. It took a couple of days. When he came back, he serviced it, then he drained it a couple of times so that I could see that the dryer was working properly, and then he left. I haven't had any problems with it at all.

    I send in my claims through American Home Shield's automated system. Everything was fine with it. The only problem I have is when they tell you they will get back to you within 24 hours, that would be fine, but that does not include weekends. So if your dryer breaks down on a Friday, you don't get to talk to anybody until Monday. But other than that, everything was really great. The rate is a little bit high since the last increase but everything is going up.

    The thermostat of the washing machine was getting too hot and it was melting the dishes in there. A tech from Express Appliances came out and thinking that everything was okay, the guy left. Then I started running it and nothing was happening. The water would get in, it would get hot, but nothing was getting clean and the pods were not dissolving. So another guy came back out and he said the water was not getting hot enough. But he said he did this change and it should be working now. he also said that I shouldn't have a problem for a year or so. When he left, I ran the test run and still got the same thing. The unit was getting hot, but it was not cleaning anything.

    So the tech apparently put in a ticket and he stated that it was related to the hot water heater. Now, I didn't know he did that before he left and if he told me that, I would have told him that the problem has nothing to do with the hot water heater because I'm getting hot water in my clothes washer, in all the sinks, and the shower. But since he put the ticket in, I have to go through the process where a guy would come out to see if the water heater works, instead of telling them to just cancel the tech visit. The guy came today and he said there's nothing wrong with the hot water heater. Then he left and I saw that that American Home Shield switched my claim back over to Express Appliances. I haven't called them back yet, but I have to call them back now to get them to come back out here and look at my washing machine to figure out exactly what's wrong with it.

    I also have a microwave that they serviced many times and it's still broken. I'm waiting for a technician to come out next month to hopefully fix it. At this point, every time I got to pay 100 bucks for somebody to come out, I might as well just cancel the service, save my money, and buy whole new appliances every time something breaks. It's not really helpful at this point because nothing's really getting fixed. So it can be a little bit cumbersome dealing with America Home Shield. If somebody comes out and I notice the service isn't fixed, I got to go through American Home Shield again instead of talking directly to the people who are doing the servicing, and it just ends up taking the process longer than it needs to be.

    Other than that, American Home Shield's online process is pretty straightforward. With them, you can get a quick reply and get somebody out here promptly. Aside from that, so far, a couple things have been serviced and worked. But these two main things right here on my washing machine and microwave cause a drawback. All in all, American Home Shield's service is not bad, but it could be better.

    Had positive experiences with two of three requests submitted however, the rekey service was so horrific it made this review two stars because the experience with the bad provider AND American Home Shield just trying to get scheduled was so terrible and so poorly managed it far outweighed the two other tickets that were handled as expected. They use a company to rekey and make it a struggle to request a different provider even when you don’t get an appointment timely. I will not renew after my one year contract is over that’s for sure. I feel foolish to think AHS would stand behind their product.

    My furnace wasn't working properly. It was turning on, but it wasn't blowing up any hot air. I called American Home Shield and spoke to a person who provided good help. My service request was assigned to SNG and the company called and told me that they will be coming the next day at a certain window of time. It was great. When they came, they said my furnace needed maintenance, so they opened up the furnace, cleaned it up and that was it. The unit has been working well. SNG did a great job and we really liked them.

    I've been protected with American Home Shield for almost two years already. Our friends told us about it and I had them before as well. I like that I just have to pay my service fee and they take care of the rest. However, their network of contractors could be better because we had to get someone that's an hour and 30 minutes from us. If there could be more contractors that are local, that'll be better. All in all, getting American Home Shield is definitely something to consider. It takes away a lot of the stress sometimes, especially when it's something expensive.

He was troubleshooting using his phone and when he finished, he said he needed a part. He said he'd call the company and after that, I didn't hear back from them. So, the following Saturday, I called American Home Shield and I told the lady who answered the phone that I was concerned because at that point, it was almost three weeks that my washer was not working. She told me that she was going to reach out to the company and see if she can ask them how we can resolve this. She was very nice. But until now, it's not resolved and my machine is still making the noise.

    I also asked American Home Shield's rep if I should stop using the machine and she told me to use it for now. So, I have been using the washing machine, but it's still making the same noise. In fact, it's getting louder. Then when I looked online, American Home Shield's website says the ticket is complete and I don't know what that means. But the person from American Home Shield that I talked to last weekend said she didn't think that's what that meant because the washing machine is not fixed yet. I've also tried to call the contractor several times, and I'm just getting a busy signal. Last year, I dropped my plan with them, but then I came back because I've never had an issue like this before. I have used American Home Shield for eight years and this is an isolated incident.

I called American Home Shield because I wanted to see if they could have one company come look at all three appliances at one time. It was a quick phone call and it was taken care of. They set me up for all three appliances with one person, which was great. It made my life easier.

    I spoke to the service company's office and we had the first technician who came out and looked at my three appliances. After the estimates, they went back to write up what they thought the repairs needed then we had the second technician who came to do the repairs. All of them were wonderful. They were really nice and very knowledgeable and I highly recommend them even on a non-warranty type call. They took care of me from start to finish. They were there when they said they were gonna be there and they did everything they needed to do.

    Everything is done. They replaced my dishwasher because the power board is evidently fried and that's more expensive to fix than replace. They repaired my dryer because it was just a squeaky part. They also attempted to fix my washer. They took it apart and, unfortunately, what they thought was something fixable was not fixable. So they ended up replacing my washer as well. Everything was great. I'm in the process of getting my new dishwasher and my new washer, but everything else was speedy, quick and no stress.

He parked in a place that I told him was another residence parking. We respect each other around here. I don't park in their spaces. They don't park in mine. We have visitor's parking. He informed me that he didn't have four-wheel drive. That was none of my concern. He knew when he came out here, there was snow out here. That was a poor excuse. He came into my home and had no footies on his feet, tramping in water and mud. When he got to the washer, I was trying to explain to him that the washer and dryer have a communication system. The washer, when it finishes, sends the load over to the dryer and tells the dryer how to set it up. That's something that I don't have to do. Apparently, he was not familiar with that.

    I've had this set for 16 years, so I know how it works. The washer, when it set the timer for 47 minutes, instead of saying 47, it would drop down to 40. So, that means I'm losing seven minutes of washing time. He said, “Well, what's wrong with that?” I said, “Okay. This ain't going too well.” But he chose to leave because he was angry, because where he parked, he should not have parked there. My washer and dryer are still not fixed. But I have gotten some good results with AHS. Like now, I'm still waiting. They're gonna try to give me a mixed-matched set. But my stuff matches, and I'm not willing to take a mixed-matched set.

    I've never had somebody answer the phone when I call American Home Shield that I can understand. They're all overseas. I wish it was easier to understand AHS's reps and AHS had people that would speak English a bit easier. I also wish they would gather information and communicate the information. Unfortunately, they got little people on the phone who know how to say yes and no in their native language. And they don't ask enough questions to find out what the problem is, to communicate, or even try to find an appropriate vendor that can fix the problem. I have a hearing issue anyway. So, it was very difficult for me to understand the person on the other end of the phone. And every time I've called them, I've had the same issue. Other than that, submitting claims was not a problem.

    My most recent experience took a while, but got it done. The first two vendors that AHS used couldn't fix the refrigerator, and were both rude. The third one did, when AHS finally got a reputable service rep from Sears. The first tech came and tried to make a temporary fix, which did not work. He came back with a part. The part did not fix it. I called AHS back. They said they would have to send it to another vendor, which they did. He came out, and I had the appliance unplugged because it wasn't running. He closed the file, saying that there wasn't a problem, and left. I had to call and open the file back up again. That was when AHS sent the Sears guy out. He came out, ordered the parts, came back, fixed it, everything's fine.

    The vendors get a phone call to come out, but nobody knows what the problem is. They come in not knowing enough information. AHS doesn't take enough information to communicate to the vendor. So, when the vendor comes in, it's almost like they are making a cold call, knocking on the door. I said, “It's a refrigerator.” They don't know any information, even though I tried to submit it to somebody. A phone call from a vendor asking for more information could give them more information in order to fix it.

    The ice maker wasn't working properly. When the guy came out to repair it, he broke off a screw on the door hinge. The ice maker got repaired, but it took over a year to get that bolt replaced. We have two ice makers and when the other ice maker broke, the guy came out to repair it, and he came back to fix the bolt that was broken, but we had to call numerous times to get that bolt taken care of. It took about a year and then American Home Shield didn't have any record of it. We finally got it taken care of, but it was impossible to try and get through to the contractor sometimes. But I dreaded calling American Home Shield because I knew they wouldn't have an answer and I’d get the runaround again.

    I kind of pitched a little bit of a fit about it. When I called for the second ice maker, the guy had to order something. It was $100 to fix the ice maker, and then American Home Shield was gonna charge me another $100 to fix that broken bolt when it was one of the repairmen had broken off a year before. I had to have a lengthy conversation with them as to why we shouldn't have to pay that $100. I ended up not paying for that $100 to get the bolt fixed.

    All of the contractors that came out were great and real nice. The first contractor for the first ice maker was awesome, and he fixed it right away. He knew what he was doing. My husband had more dealings with this guy that came out for the second ice maker, but he seemed very professional and knew what was going on. The repairmen seemed to know what they were doing, but trying to get through and talking to somebody at American Home Shield that you can actually understand is virtually impossible. I called American Home Shield for my claims and it was real hard to understand their representatives. They had such strong accents. They were pleasant. They weren't rude. I just couldn't understand them. Also, working with American Home Shield, we don't have any leeway at all on what time the contractors are gonna come to service us. It's between 12:00 and 6:00 or none at all.

    I called American Home Shield to submit my claim and spoke with a representative because I had two items on one claim and couldn’t figure out how to do it online. The representative was great. The contractor made an appointment, showed up when she said she would, and repaired my washer and dryer. Then, she looked at the dishwasher. But we could not get parts for it. So, a dishwasher was ordered, which was fine with American Home Shield, but when it was delivered, it could not be installed because it’s a hardwired dishwasher. The contractor asked if he should drop it off or take it, and told him to drop it off. They got another appliance out of Sacramento and called to make an appointment.

    I called back after a missed call and message, but the tech was too busy to talk. The next day, he was still too busy and said he didn’t know when they would come. He texted that they’d either be out last Friday or Saturday. On Monday, I called American Home Shield and they contacted him, and he said he would call to make the appointment. I haven’t heard from him yet, and it’s been about 10 days. So it’s not American Home Shield, it’s their contractor.

    As far as the washer and dryer, the performance has been great. Hometown Appliance was great to work with and I liked them. The techs identified the issues and the parts were ordered. As soon as they came in, the appliance was repaired. Other than the dishwasher situation, American Home Shield has been flawless. They looked for people so I didn't have to. My previous warranty never had anyone who could come out here, so this has been very pleasant. I would describe my experience with American Home Shield as efficient.

    Initially, we called American Home Shield because there was some liquid in the meter. Someone came out who didn't know how to replace it or fix it. The person looked at a video, trying to figure out how to fix the pipes after he took them apart. Had I known that, I wouldn't have let him take the pipes apart. I immediately called AHS and they tried to work with me to resolve it. The person from AHS said, "Let me help you fix this. Let me get someone out there." I gave them another chance. They sent someone else. They sent someone to help the tech but that person didn't know how to do things either.

    I called back. All of this should be on recording because I kept calling and telling the supervisor for AHS what was happening. I'm tired of going back and forth with this because everybody keeps calling me about what's happening and nobody's doing anything about it. I've been dealing with this for months. I already told AHS that I'm not satisfied with this whole process.

    The heater would not hit over 53. I submitted an online claim to American Home Shield. ART Heating & Air Conditioning came, and I told them what the issue was. So, they went to where the unit is. They said there is a reader by the unit and it says the inside was 95. Also, the tech pulled up something and he said that thing was dirty. He showed me a picture and how it's supposed to look, and he said mine was dirty. It might be the reason. Maybe that was the reason why it was not heating up. I don't know what they did, but they worked around and it started heating up.

    When they finished, I asked them if they were gonna clean it or not. They said it was working, so they might not. I was like, "If you're not going to clean and then come back to the situation, what am I supposed to do?” They went outside for a while and they came. They spoke to their boss and they said they could clean it now. They pulled that thing and took it outside and cleaned it. So, when they left, it started overheating. It wasn't cooling down, and it was heating above 85.

    I reported the issue to American Home Shield. So, the next morning, someone came back and he was asking me and I told him, "Well, this is the situation." When they came in, I did not touch anything, but the inside was overheating. I tried to turn on the AC and maybe it can cool down. Even though the AC was on, it never came down. So, that person came in and he also did something, but now the problem is solved.

    I have called American Home Shield twice. They sent someone to help with my HVAC. It turned out that the issue has nothing to do with my heating thing. Nothing has happened to it. They recommended that an expert come to the house to check. I did not know that they were not linked to American Home Shield. It almost cost $4,000 to change the thing. A single mom having to cover 4,000 is crazy. It really took a toll on me. It turned out nothing was damaged and they had to change it at that time when I didn't need it.

    The second call was for the same HVAC. Some of the electrical wires were blown out. So, an expert came in. He was good. He told me the wires weren't covered under the insurance. This year, we were in the middle of the cold and I didn't have any option in the house. So, I haven't been that satisfied with American Home Shield. If their third party recommends something, they need to let us talk to the insurance to see what it covers and doesn't cover.

    I call American Home Shield to submit claims and it’s easy but sometimes, getting the techs to come out timely is not. Maryland Mechanical Heating came out and looked at the furnace, and they were fine. But there was a time when weird things happened all at the same time. My heating was not right and I had a dishwasher problem at a resort home. That was fine as well. But my toilets and shower wouldn't flush or drain, and I had a clog in the big pipe outside.

    I made the claim on a Thursday and the rep from American Home Shield said they would call within 24 hours. I told them I needed help on that day, and they said they would escalate that, only because I pushed back so hard. I’ve only had to do that one time. But at other times, they get it within 24 hours, as they tell you. Sometimes the contractor will call you, or American Home Shield will give you the phone number. They have a very bad reputation out there and I'm looking for another company to contract with.

    I've been with American Home Shield for several years, and I've enjoyed the experience. I don’t have a lot of claims and I can go a whole year without having anything. But I’m one of those people who, when it rains, it pours, and when I called, they told me that American Home Shield doesn’t cover this or that. Out of the three claims I have, one was a sewer problem. I’ve been trying for two weeks to get a supervisor from the plumbing company to call me back, and they won’t. When they came out, they said they could snake the toilet, but if it was the pipe and they had to take the toilet off to get to it, American Home Shield wouldn’t cover that. I ended up paying out of pocket while the man was standing there.

    I have a renter and we have AHS on three properties. I was going to get it for my mother, who’s 84, but I wouldn’t do it because it’s too much hassle. I want someone where I call them, they come out, and that’s it. I don’t want to go back and forth and argue about whether something is covered or not. A pipe is a pipe. Either you’re going to fix it or not. Also, there are language barriers with the individuals taking the calls that prevent them from understanding what you’re talking about. I can understand them and I speak other languages, but I’m not sure they understand what I’m explaining as the problem.

    People should make sure that what they want covered is talked about explicitly when they sign up. Most people just get the warranty for the whole house because they worry that if they’re away, something like the plumbing is going to go bad. If they are going to get a contract and if they have specific scenarios they want covered, they should review that in the beginning so they’re clear on what’s covered, especially for something like a vacation home that’s far away. If someone says something is wrong, you can’t just have someone come in and fix it. It’s not that easy. But it wasn’t that way a couple of years ago with American Home Shield. Something has changed and it’s been a very different experience. It doesn’t feel like they’re there to help me.

    My refrigerator wasn't cooling because the freezer was frozen and the tech from All Service Brands defrosted it and that worked. But the water has not been fixed. A part had to be ordered and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. I try to submit claims online but I can’t get through sometimes or I can't explain what I need to explain. Then I'll have to call, which is a pain. It takes forever. Sometimes there's a language issue where it's hard to understand them. But that goes for anybody who's using a call center these days.

    American Home Shield always takes care of me. The price goes up every year though and it’s gotten to the point where they’re gonna price themselves out. I have old appliances, and I’d much rather get new ones instead of trying to fix them. Between the monthly charge and the $100 every time they come out, it’s a lot. I could probably get somebody to fix it on my own for cheaper than that. I have a new air conditioning unit, and eventually I’m gonna have new appliances. I don't know whether American Home Shield’s warranty is gonna be worth it or not. They're getting pricey.

    We highly recommend American Home Shield. We've had it in previous homes. We wanted to make sure that we were covered after the builder warranty ended for this new home that we purchased two years ago. We like that it's there for when we need something fixed or replaced. When the ice maker and water dispenser were not working, I submitted a claim for them with American Home Shield through the website. I received the name of the place and that they would give us a call or if I needed to call them, they had their phone number on there. Everything was good. The first time they came out they ordered a valve in the back of the refrigerator where the water comes in from. The refrigerator still did not work. The contractor came back and ordered a computer board. The tech came, put it in, but it still didn't work. American Home Shield already sent us a check because we purchased it at Home Depot, not at Lowe's. It will be delivered on Friday.

    Day and Night AC repaired the air conditioner that had stopped working. We already knew what it was because my husband was an air conditioning technician for years. Since he's retired, he no longer has the parts or anything to fix it. The only issue I have with the contractor is that they don’t answer their phone properly. You don't know if it's a business or a home phone. They just say, "Hello." It was weird. But they were very nice. My husband usually submits requests online since it’s very difficult to get ahold of anybody in American Home Shield by phone. But once you get ahold of anybody, they’re great. The problem is that the hours when people respond are not good. There should be people available on weekends and holidays as well, when something goes wrong.

    When my refrigerator went out at Thanksgiving, I was without a refrigerator for weeks. I had to buy a small one just to tide me over until it was fixed. Part of the delay was waiting for parts, so it wasn’t entirely American Home Shield’s fault. But getting ahold of somebody and getting someone to come out was frustrating. The first company they sent didn’t know what they were doing, so they had to send another company, which delayed it even more. Once they finally got someone out and got the part, it was okay. Pricewise, it keeps going up, so if something goes wrong, it's worth it. But if nothing goes wrong, then it's not.

    American Home Shield is good. US Air is not. As long as your issue doesn't have anything to do with your heater and US Air, that's not a problem. I've already let AHS know to never send US Air out here again. I had a heater that ran constantly. It would not turn off. I filed a claim with AHS online, and they sent out US Air. They told me it was two switches, and they said they would be back out in a day or two, because they had to go back into town and get it, but they were booked.

    Nearly two weeks later, they finally came back out without contacting me and telling me anything about the status, what was going on, or when they would come out. They didn't tell me anything. They didn't come out with the switches or anything else, even though they were aware that something was going on. They didn't bring their basic materials out with them. AHS told me, "They already have it. They've been out once, so they'll call you." That was AHS's interaction with it all. Their customer service sucked. I've not had that problem before for years, but this time, it was aggravating, specifically because we had cold weather, and I had to get up and manually turn my heater off and on throughout the night.

    I like that I have coverage for all of the systems and appliances in the home. It gives me some assurance that if anything goes wrong, I don't have to worry about paying thousands of dollars out of pocket at one time. The coverage makes me secure. I've had an issue or two in the past, but nothing that American Home Shield didn't eventually fix. One or two things have taken longer than I hoped, but everything major has been resolved and to my satisfaction.

    If you purchase the right plan, you'll have coverage over your appliances and systems. If anything goes wrong, the warranty company will cover it. That doesn't mean that it will be free. It just means that paying for that coverage on an annual basis does reduce what you might have to pay if one of your systems goes down. It also allows you the opportunity to have the work done by tested and tried companies, where if you didn't have the warranty, you'd go with any company that you found. And you wouldn't know that they were reputable. AHS knows, or at least has been using these companies, so you can expect them to be reputable.

    A contractor came out last week to take a look at a problem that I was having with the heating system. It would come on and keep the house at a certain level, but it would not getting to the 68 degrees that we set the thermostat. It stayed at 60 degrees. I submitted my claim for that online through American Home Shield's website. It was very simple. I got the name of the company that it had been assigned to. I also got a phone number for the contractor. AHS let me know that someone would contact me. They contacted me the next day, which was a Saturday. I was very grateful for that because it was very cold. I thought they would have to wait until Monday to at least reach out but they got back to me quickly.

    They contacted me via text, which was good because it was a Saturday and I didn't really care to be on the phone. They asked me a bit more about the issues. I explained that the home wasn't warming up. And they asked if they could come out on Monday and gave me a window. I asked if they could give me a bit of a heads-up before they arrive so I could either make sure the tenant was there, and if the tenant wasn't there, I could shoot over there myself.

    On Monday morning, they came within the window they gave me. They did give me a bit of a heads-up to let me know when they were coming so I could confirm with the tenant that he was home. They said that there was a sensor in the unit in the furnace that was dirty so it didn't functioning properly. It would stop the unit before it could go all the way up to the temperature that we set the thermostat. They cleaned it out immediately. The unit has been back to heating the way it's supposed to for over a week.

    We purchased our property in 2025 March and purchased home warranty from American Home Shield which includes also the pool equipment, plumbing, etc. As first time pool owners we also hired a pool company to service the pool. When our pool service company brought up some issues with the pool equipment that resulted in failure like salt cell not working, we filed a service call and AHS sent a company to inspect. We filed the claim but we were told our claim was denied. We were never given any justification on the basis of denial. Later we also had an HVAC maintenance service call and get the AC serviced. There were some strange noises coming from the unit from time to time, intermittently. When I inquired on that I was told it will be denied as it is an old unit.

    Basically, you are paying for warranty on paper. When it is time to use what you pay for, you will get denied. I am not sure if any other company is better but I would stay away from the AHS. I was planning to cancel the contract after the bad experience but we were in the midst of selling our old house and work got busy. It slipped my mind. I was just reminded by their service rep when it was time to renew, and that audacity pissed me off that I wanted to cancel my plan and get the refund on the remaining 22 days.

    When I called their customer service, I was again tossed around, and finally, when I reached the Member Resolution Dept, I was told that I cannot cancel within the last month of the annual contract, and if I do, they will assess a $50 cancellation fee. I am pissed about the poor service that I asked for a written explanation on the reason for my claim denial earlier, and I will escalate this further so that other customers may not suffer from similar mistreatment.

    The dryer was not working properly. It took forever to dry something and the dryer stops at every cycle, every now and then. I was explaining that to the tech that American Home Shield sent out and he said that was normal. Then he wanted to leave but, I said the dryer was still not working. The dryer might have to be replaced altogether. American Home Shield said they could replace that company and send out another one. But I told them that I would just cancel and deal with it on my own. So the tech did not provide any service. Plus, he was rude and unprofessional to me. So, I requested a refund and American Home Shield didn't give me a refund. But that's okay because I canceled my warranty after that. So, I'm no longer a customer anymore of American Home Shield.

    The motor in the blower was cracked and it was leaking oil. I filled out an online request for service, and American Home Shield sent McCormick Mechanical. The techs got here on time. They evaluated the issue and took pictures of what they did so we could see it. They did a very good job and were also very good in representing McCormick. Everything is working very well now. It’s perfect. We’ve given high praise to American Home Shield when we talked to our family and friends. We’ve had them for 15 years and we rely on them. It's comforting to know we don't have to call any appliance repair person that we don't know. American Home Shield has some good vendors, which is why we chose them.

    Three different companies have come out for the furnace and every time they come out, it's $100. So, now I'm $300 in for the furnace, and I'm $100 in for the garage door. American Home Shield sent out a contractor who didn't do anything. They just came in, took a picture. and said, “Oh, I just wanna make sure you have heat.” We were like, “Okay.” That was disappointing.

    We got online with the virtual assistant. He was actually very helpful, walked us through some things, and took a lot of notes, and like virtual pictures. And he said, “I'm gonna give you some things to do that’ll make sure you have heat,” because there was a winter storm happening at the same time. He said, “We're gonna give you some things to make sure you have heat.” He saud he was taking notes and that he would put them in there. He also said, “But you do need to put in a service request.” Then they sent out this one contractor. He doesn't come in. We asked him about the notes. He just said, “I'm just here to make sure you have heat.” He took a picture of our furnace and he walked away. Never came back inside the house. They left. So, we followed up with American Home Shield. We told them, “Hey, what's going on? We still know we have this situation that the virtual advisor gave us. But he told us this is a temporary thing.”

    The people you get when you call about the service requests are not that informed. So, then you have to escalate it, and then you got to wait for somebody to call you back to escalate once you escalate it. Sometimes they call you back, and sometimes they don't. Two weeks went by and we finally called them back. We get a gentleman on the phone. We had to escalate the call again. We get him on the phone. He was like, “Oh, this is crazy. This should have never happened.” He was very apologetic. He said, “We wanna send out another company.” So, then they sent out another company.

    The company came out and they were very nice. They told us that they don't work on this type of furnace. So, we keep referring back to this virtual person. We told him, “Well, he put all this information in the notes so you would know what the problem is.” He said, “No. We don't get those. We don't know.” So, now we're still dealing with the same thing. We're a month into it now. So, we're a month into it. Fortunately, everything he did kept us with heat because it's winter where we are. It's very cold. So, we've had snow and freezing temperatures. So, everything he gave us has held on.

    We called back again. We wait a couple of days. We call back again. Every time you call back, you get the same people, entry-level people. Then they go through this whole spiel that they do and then you have to escalate it. The third time we're escalating it, we get a young lady on the phone. We told them that we still haven't got our furnace fixed. So, she said, “We're gonna send out another company who specifically can work on your furnace.” We then said, “Okay. Why didn't that happen the first time?” Right now, I'm literally shopping for another company this weekend because I'm so upset about this.

    The tech from All Comfort who came out for the heater said it was the thermostat that was off. He replaced it. He went in and looked if the coil inside the door was working or not. He looked where the pilot light’s supposed to be. He checked the breakers, and then made that determination that it was the thermostat. I wasn't home when he came out, but my son was there and they loved the tech. They didn't have a problem. Everything is functioning great now. Our house gets warm.

    As far as American Home Shield, we had it a long time ago, and they were awesome. I didn't get it renewed, but then, we got it back on. What I like most about them is they come right out. What do I like the least about it is their price because I have two contracts with them. It's about $50 a month, and I think it’s expensive. Other than that, I'd tell others that they need to get AHS to cover cost because when something breaks, it's going to be expensive.

    I called American Home Shield because smoke was coming out during the spin cycle from my washing machine. So, a tech came out, and within five minutes, he said, “Yeah, it's going to have to be replaced, because the entire bucket in the machine is going to have to be replaced, and that's basically almost the cost of a new machine. And so, we're not going to be able to fix this, or it's not worth fixing. So, we'll let them know, and then they're going to send you some options of what you can do.” They said I would be contacted within three to five business days, and I didn't hear anything back from American Home Shield.

    I called American Home Shield after about a week, and I told them, “Hey, what's the next step on this? The tech said that I was going to be hearing from you all about options.” They said, “Oh, no. It says on our end here that parts are being ordered for repair.” So I said, “No, that's not what the tech told me. The tech never said anything about parts. He was literally here for five minutes and said that the whole thing had to be junked because it wasn't worth fixing.” But they told me that was not what they had there.

    I had to call SRL back and tell them, “Can y'all call American Home Shield and tell them that there's an error in this somewhere, because you're telling me it needs to be replaced, and they're telling me it's going to be fixed.” So they called American Home Shield and within an hour, I got a message from American Home Shield saying that my claim was being processed. Shortly after that, I got the email giving me options on replacing the washing machine.

    After another week, I called American Home Shield and asked, “Hey, what's going on? Why have I not heard anything back yet?” They said, “Oh, we sent you an email.” So I checked, and there was the email. I thought I was going to get a call. I went through the process and chose a gift card, and they're going to be sending that to me in a couple of days. But the communication was not good on the whole thing. I had made a claim before, and it all went great, and it went exactly as they told me it would.

    American Home Shield is a fine service, but you just need to follow up if you don't hear anything back too quick. I have an app now and I have a webpage that I can log into that shows my stuff, but it doesn't really give helpful information. When you make a claim, there's not really that much information about it. It just goes from open to closed, and there's not really a process. If American Home Shield had a log there that says, “The tech called us at this time. We processed this at this time. We did this,” that would be more helpful to the clients who are using the service. Communication is important. So, if they had communicated better, I would be happier. The techs who come out tend to do a good job. I've never had somebody come out who didn't do a good job on their stuff. I've always been satisfied with the people that American Home Shield sends out.

    I've had American Home Shield for so long so I keep it. They give good customer service. However, I pay out so much money, yet I get nothing in return. It's just money being thrown. It would be different if I had just started with them a month ago, but I've been with them for years. To not be able to get anything back and for them not to even touch base with me, I was appalled.

    I had a unit that I had to put in because it broke down, but AHS refused to pay me. They were willing to pay me up to $2,000 if I went with a company they provided. But I did a review on the company that they had provided and they had poor reviews. So, I went with a different company. They chose not to pay me, and I was disappointed with that. I've had AHS forever, and I feel we should have an option of who we choose to pick because we pay out thousands of dollars.

    I've never had a problem with AHS. They went through with my water heater, which was fine. It was fixed. But I also had a plumbing issue that they weren't able to fix on their end because it belonged to the city of Lubbock. So, I went through the City of Lubbock and they paid some of it, and I had to pay $1,000 back. I wasn't reimbursed for that. When I need it and being that I pay for it, I'd like to get some type of reimbursement. I haven't had that happen.

    The washer stopped getting water. It made a whole lot of noise when it was spinning. I sent in a claim to American Home Shield and then the guy came in and said it just needed a couple of parts. After we waited like three weeks, he came back. He said it was not the part he brought. He was not able to fix it. The contractor made us do a lot of stuff. I was expecting the guy to do the washer, anything around the washer. Not me. If I'm able to do that, I'm not gonna call or have this warranty.

    They want me to touch the dryer, take out the tray, and remove the washer. But I cannot take out the tray. I said that. They canceled it on me. And I have to move the washer from the tray and send the picture. And then they came back after a week. That was a hassle. They want all four sides of the washer clear of anything. There's a dryer next to it. Then they want me to take out the tray. There's a tray underneath the washer. I can't even take it out. I tried, but it's stuck or attached with something. But we're able to move it in front of it. It's hard to work with that.

    When the guy came in, he brought a valve and then another part. He put them in, and he tried it. Then nothing changed. Same thing, broken, doesn't take any water. He tried the hose without connecting it with the machine. The hose brought water. Then he said, well, the part he thought was broken, it's not working. So, I need a new washer. I picked the washer and then the company I got sent to or I got emailed to, Whirlpool, they just gave me Friday morning appointment to come and change the washer. I had a question about that, and I called the company yesterday. I cannot get hold of them because it said the same thing. I need to clear everything around the machine or take out even the machine. But on the description on my side, it said, “Delivery standard. An installation company. And remove and haul away.” I can see that, if that's the correct thing. So, I don't need to move anything then.

    It was easy to request service with American Home Shield, and they got me right away with the service provider. But after I got connected to the service provider, it took like a month. Now, it's already a month now since the machine broke up. We have to go to a laundromat now to wash clothes. It’s like a month just because I don't know what. They told me they ordered parts. After a week, I heard there was stuff around the machine. If that is not moving or the machine itself moving, we could not come and see. I called American Home Shield, and the lady told me that's what they say. I told them that I can move around everything, but not the tray. They want the tray out. That's what she told me. I tried. I couldn't even take it out. I told them. But I moved the machine. She asked me to send the picture to a phone number she gave me. I did send it.

    Next day, they said that the services were done and they fixed it. But they were not even there. I had to call back again. They were not even here yet. I was still waiting for them to bring the part, and then they reestablished the service. They requested another part again, and then he came back after a week. When he came back out, hefixed it. It was all good when American Home Shield connected me with the service provider. But I don’t like the service providers.

    A round, plastic piece that goes over the bathroom knob broke. If you take both your hands and put them together in a circle, it's that big. That piece is now missing, and you can see into my wall. The contractor said the encasing they got won't go on with the knob. They told me that now my whole wall needs to be torn down. However, that piece was on there before they came to fix it. I don't get it.

    American Home Shield sent somebody else but a different technician. The new plumber said, "No. We just need to get the right thing to extend it. And you don't need construction or anything." The first time they ordered it, the tech said somebody ordered the wrong color. The next time, he said he ordered it. When they first came, he sent me his number. He called from his number, and said to contact him if I had any issues. When I got home that evening, I sent him a message. I said, "Just asking if next time you guys come out, can you guys turn the light out because my light was on all day?" He never responded. He came back out after he ordered the parts that he said they needed. I was at work so I let them in the house by unlocking the door for them. When I got home that day, the box was thrown in the bathroom and the pieces were not even on my tub. He didn't call me back. They sent in whatever needed to be sent in.

    I got an email saying that $300 more is needed. The last communication I had, he said nothing would be an issue. I wouldn't need any construction. So, I called the contractor. I said to the lady, "I'm trying to find out what's going on. Now I'm getting an email saying I need construction again when I was clearly told that wasn't gonna be the case. And also, my water heater in the bathroom is not getting hot." But it's hot in my other areas. I have to turn on the heater in my bathroom for my kids' water to get hot. That wasn't the problem before they came. She said, "Okay, I'm gonna get them to call you." I've been calling three days, still no one has called me back. How is it done and I still have these issues? It's not like an immediate urgency for AHS and they are washing their hands off it.

    Our washer was in rinsing mode and started to beat against the wall. It sounded like the whole house was being torn apart, so we ran in there and shut it off. We called American Home Shield and everything about it was great. They were very nice. They set us up with a tech who came out. There are four cement things that keep that tub balanced. Inside those are the attaching hardware. The tech pulled all that out, and they were all broken. So, he replaced those. He was a young guy, but he knew what he was talking about. On the floor where the washer was, there seemed little chunks of something. I couldn't understand what it was. It was chunks of that cement. He knew immediately what it was. One day the washer seemed to be make a bit of odd noise. But when it started spinning at high speed, it smoothened out.

    Having American Home Shield is a peace of mind thing. We got all LG appliances. We bought our washer and dryer brand new. We bought our townhouse here.

They came out and replaced the part. Two months later, it was slipping so they had to come out and replace another part. The dryer was making noises, so they came out and replaced the part. Then the dishwasher stopped powering up, and they came out and found out that the main control board had been burnt, so they replaced it. The dishwasher works now.

    I had a leak in my bathroom. American Home Shield sent out Leak Seekers but they didn't fix it. I had to call somebody out here. I had my whole bathroom remodeled to fix it. I called American Home Shield three years in a row to come out and fix it. But nobody fixed it. They kept saying it was the faucet. But it wasn't the faucet. It was a pipe inside my wall that was leaking, that rotted out my floor, that rotted out my walls, and caused mold in my bathroom. Nobody would fix anything. So, it cost me $18,000 to get my bathroom redone and repiped.

    American Home Shield usually helps, but it's the people that they have coming out that are no good. They need better quality companies that work for them. What I like about them is their promptness and their coverage of what they cover. I do recommend them, but you have to stay on them to get something fixed. If they send somebody else out, you just call back and tell them you don't want that company and you want somebody else to come out.

So I ended up calling that Parts Hub and told them, "I made a claim. They said that you was gonna reach out." They said, "Well, we told them don't send us no more for the rest of the year." They told me they woudl send somebody out and asked me if I was available that day. But I told them that I was not available that day but Friday would be fine. So they came in and said, "Hey, we gotta order a part," and they left. They shipped the part to my house and then I had to call them and tell them, "Hey, I never heard from them. The part came in. They're gonna come put it in." "Yeah, we'll schedule a tech."

    When they came back, the dude cut himself. He bled all over my kitchen and didn't say anything. My wife went in the living room after he left and saw blood all over a brand-new rug she just bought. My wife tried to call to let the company know but nobody answered. He did fix the microwave, which was a good thing. But it was like a circus trying to get it done.

    We've been with American Home Shield for quite a few years now and that was the first time I ever had that issue with anybody.

I wanted to have an electrician look at it so I sent in a claim online to American Home Shield. Then I got the email that said the contractor would contact me in 24 hours, which did not happen. So, then I reached out to Brown and they had apparently received 25 American Home Shield jobs in that 24-hour period, so they were a bit behind. So, that was why they were a little slow, which was totally acceptable. When the tech came out, he was a good guy. The only thing with American Home Shield is that when I noticed that my monthly payment with American Home Shield went from 40 to 60, it was okay.

    I couldn't see the digital readout on the stove. I placed a claim to American Home Shield through their portal, and then it was all taken care of. They assigned a company to come out and take care of it. The tech was really super professional. He came out the first time, checked everything out, and then they had to order parts. As soon as the parts came right to the house, they came back out and fixed it. Everything is wonderful now. It never looked that good before.

    I've had American Home Shield for a long time, and the communication is great. They let you know who's assigned almost immediately and then they'll be contacting you. I would recommend them. I would let others know how easy it is to do a claim. You do have to pay your fee, but you don't have to pay anything extra. Parts are included. It's great. I would never not have a home warranty.

    When we called in September, the microwave would not heat up. It would run, but it wasn't heating anything up. The contractor came out multiple times, ordered parts, came back out again, ordered more parts, finally installed them and said it was fixed. It worked for five weeks and quit again. We started calling in the claims again, and Sears missed four appointments in a row where they kept moving the time up to almost nine o'clock at night, but they didn't show up.

    In December, we filed another claim against this microwave which meant we had to pay a second $100 fee, and they missed the appointment for the 17th, the 24th, and the 31st. These are appointments that they scheduled. They didn't show up. When they finally showed up in January, they have come out twice and ordered parts. Two weeks ago, when the guy came out, he put parts in the microwave that he or one of the other ones had ordered. When he put the parts in before he even checked the microwave, he went ahead and closed the ticket while standing in my house with my dad.

    When he closed the ticket, he called me and said, “By the way, the microwave is not working. I thought it was working. You'll have to call American Home Shield and open the ticket back up.” I said, “Why do I have to do that? You close the ticket out.” We went back and forth about that. I called AHS back again to reopen this ticket, so they reopened it, and they contractor is supposed to come tomorrow. But the problem with coming tomorrow is this guy didn't order the parts. That means when they come tomorrow, all they will do is order more parts, and we will do the same thing all over again. This has been an awful experience. I told AHS, “Y'all are gonna be the ones that caused me to change companies, because I'm not doing this. This is crazy, and I never had to do this before.” Pick another company.

    Maselli Contracting was sent out by American Home Shield for the heating system and the techs were very good and nice. In previous times, they had replaced the zone valves. This time, they checked out the furnace and said everything was working fine. It was extremely cold, so it would take time for the house to heat up. American Home Shield was a recommendation from my brother-in-law, who's in Las Vegas, and I’ve been with them for at least 10 years. Sometimes, they give us a hard time, but most of the time, they come through. But I don't like talking to a machine and by the time you get to a person, you've answered so many prompts. I need to talk to a human who will take 30 seconds instead of 10 minutes. Despite this, I’d still tell people to use American Home Shield. They provide good service.

    Summer Breeze, the contractor, scheduled a time to come out for the preventative maintenance promotion, and the technician arrived a whole hour early. I couldn’t just leave work. I explained that to him and told him he could wait, but he said they could reschedule it and that someone would call me. I never got a call, and it was never rescheduled, so I wasn’t able to take advantage of the promotion. I’m frustrated because I needed the service. My heat hasn’t been doing what it’s supposed to do, and it just needs a filter put in. They were going to put the filter in, and I don’t like going up in the attic because I’m terrified of it. I was expecting someone to come out and take care of it, but I never got the service.

    I got the company’s number and tried calling, but when I called, no one answered. They had an AI system. I also called American Home Shield, and the person I spoke to said he would try to help me out, but I didn’t hear anything back. It’s just been frustrating. I usually don’t have any issues with this. When I need something, I can call American Home Shield and put a ticket online. It usually gets taken care of.

    The communication between American Home Shield and the companies can be better, and they can make sure that everything is aligned. Because of that breakdown in communication, as the customer, I was left out in the rain just by myself. It made me upset that I did everything I was supposed to do and I did not get what I paid for. They didn’t bring the people out here. But American Home Shield is a good program and it’s not too expensive. If people need it, they can use it.

    In the beginning, when there was more of a personal touch and you could talk to a person a little more easily, I’ve had a good experience with American Home Shield’s customer service. But over the years, as things have changed not just with American Home Shield, but with a lot of entities, there hasn’t been as much of that personal touch, and I personally miss that. Now, it all seems robotic. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to that, but that’s where we’re going.

    I am happy with the technicians, though I've had some experiences that I've been less than enthralled with. But Supreme Plumbing has always been a good entity when they've been sent to my home. There was one set of people that I was less than impressed with because they were pushing sales and were way overpriced. But for the most part, the appliance people have always been good experiences. I have recommended American Home Shield to a friend, and they are with the company.

    Ukon came out initially for the refrigerator's control panel that wasn't responding. At one point, it got really warm, and then it ended up getting cold again but I wasn't able to set the temperature at all. I submitted this claim online which went fine. The only thing was there were some issues after submitting it. What happened was the techs came out, they took a look, and they told me they needed to order parts. They left and then online, it said that the dispatch had been closed and marked as resolved. This isn't the first time this has happened with American Home Shield where we've had the service provider mark something as resolved when they told us they were going to order parts and come back. I had a service request last year for the same refrigerator. They said they were gonna order parts. They closed it out without finishing it. That earlier claim that I had submitted last year never really got finished.

    This time around, I spoke with customer service to try to get them to follow up on it. There were two refrigerators involved in this particular service request. They told me to open the request. The control board still needs to be replaced. They were supposed to follow up on it. American Home Shield could improve on their communication. There have been so many times that I've had to reopen something that got closed out wrongly and wasn't completed. In order to do that, I have to stay on hold on the phone for 45 minutes every time. There's got to be a way to do that online because it's nuts. Overall, if you have a lot of appliances and you have the time to follow up, AHS can be worth the price.

    American Home Shield sent Khan Gagaliev to fix a water faucet that was leaking. To start the claim process, I went on their website and did an online claim. Their website was user-friendly, but I don't think it had enough information and it did not allow me to put enough information on there. As far as the service person, initially, his interaction was good but then when he came back, I had some complaints because the faucet that he brought back to me didn't fit the faucet that was on it. He took pictures of what my faucet looked like and knew what I wanted based upon what my faucet looked like. So, that doesn't make any sense to me. Why won't they try to replace my faucet as close to what I initially had? He then told me that was what they sent him and that is what they would only replace it with.

    When he took the faucet off, it had a hole in it. The circumference on that hole was bigger than the plate that they sent out to me. He said they don't make those. I told him he couldn't tell me they don't make those anymore. I could go right up to Home Depot and buy it. They sent a square deal that was much smaller, and so it didn't fill the hole. When I asked if they were gonna fix the hole, he said they were not gonna do that. I got to get somebody else to do it. I’m mechanically inclined. I'm not crazy. So, him and I went into this whole deal. Then he called somebody on the phone that, to me, I felt like he was pretending like he was calling somebody from American Home Shield. This person goes on to say the same thing and tell me this story about how American Home Shield was not gonna do that and do this. So, I just told him to put the faucet.

    He put the faucet on, and it was the wrong size. I ended up having to pay somebody to come out, take that off, and fix the tile around it so there's no hole in my wall in my tub area. AHS did send somebody out to fix the back where they have to cut out to get to the faucet, but they didn't paint it. So, I had to pay to get the wall repainted myself.

    I would recommend other people go with another home warranty service. I've been with American Home Shield for years, and I very seldomly call them to fix anything because I'm a handyman myself. I fix stuff myself, but this is one of those things where I didn't know what I was gonna be getting into. So, I was like, “Let me call and just have them come out and fix it.” I did call back after he did the repair and talked with somebody from there, and they gave me back the fee that they charge for coming out. If I have to call again, I do have that credited back. So, I appreciated that.

    The hot water heater started leaking. I made a service request with American Home Shield and it was fairly easy. The service technician they sent was very good. He was from Econo-Rooter.

    I've had AHS since 2005 and we've had them on this property since 2013. With this hot water heater issue, it costs $1,500 to have a hot water heater installed or replaced. I opted for the cash-out and I only got 340 bucks. So I'm not really happy with the result of this one. But I've been happy in the past with other things. I also like the ease of being able to contact them and them sending people out. Sometimes I can't understand the people I'm talking to on the other end of the phone. Plus, the prices have gone up.

But it happened three more times. Then I got a new furnace. So, I bought one outside the network because I tried dealing with American Home Shield but they kept dragging their feet. My wife is at home pregnant, and they kept saying they'd send the guy back out. But after it quit the first time, they said they couldn't get there until Monday. But we needed heat. So, I called another company, and they came out and fixed it. Then I called American Home Shield and the gentleman that I spoke to said they wouldn't cover the furnace.

    I've had American Home Shield for four years now. I heard about them on Facebook and started reading a little bit about them. I realized that I had no idea how expensive homeownership could be, so I figured if something went wrong, I needed to have some sort of insurance or support. So, I decided to get the American Home Shield warranty. So far, they've been on the ball about most stuff. It's just when I really needed them, they weren't really able to help.

    I like the peace of mind that comes with the service but supporting their customers could be a good improvement for them. I'd also tell friends and family that they're worth looking into, especially if you got an older house. I've had my plumbing backed up multiple times due to a tree in my backyard before I cut it down. It was getting inside the pipes, and it was backing it up.

    Zero stars is what AHS has earned from us! We paid in to the plan for a year and a half. Our first claim was denied for a $280 washing machine repair. We paid the $125 fee to AHS. They sent a company out and then denied the repair, stating that the problem was not caused by normal wear and tear. I asked for a copy of the estimate the company sent to AHS and they refused to share it. AHS stated that the repairman had written not from normal wear and tear in the estimate, but refused to share the estimate with us.

    I called the company directly and asked to speak with the person who came to my house and submitted the estimate to AHS. I never received a call back from him. So basically, we’re out about $1000 of money we paid in to the plan plus the $125 fee for service. I cancelled my plan and let AHS know that what they’re doing is robbing people. What a scam!

    I’m disabled on a limited income, which is why I felt that a home warranty plan was a good idea. Also, pay close attention to the qualifying exclusion clauses. They’ll find a way to deny the simplest of claims and refuse to share estimates from the companies they send. When you call AHS, be ready to speak with someone in India. Heaven forbid they employ Americans and pay taxes for that. ZERO STARS! Save your money and find reputable local small businesses for necessary repairs!

    The tech came out several times and got parts for the dryer that he thought would work. But every time he put a part on there and did what he needed to do, it still wasn't spinning out the water and the clothes were soaking wet. I spoke with American Home Shield last week and they gave me options. One of them was to go to Lowe's and choose a new one. But I told them to give me a little time because my car was in the shop. Then, when I went into Lowe's, I found something there. So, I called them back and told them which one I liked.

    I've been with American Home Shield for a long time. I was sitting in the house one day and I saw their commercial come on TV. Several companies came up and I just chose American Home Shield. My mother had it and she told me that she was satisfied with them. So I joined and it's been over 15 years or so. They do what they say they're going to do, and they honor what they say they're going to honor. American Home Shield is one of the best service and I stand by them. I've heard some bad reviews on them, but I've never had problems so I'm going to stay with American Home Shield.

    When I was getting ready to wash dishes and I went to use the garbage disposal that would make a whirling noise, my dishwasher wouldn't complete the cycle. I made a claim with American Home Shield over the phone and I was surprised because it was really easy. I set up the appointment, they worked out a date as to when I would be off, and they sent a technician over. He called before he arrived and when he was here, he took a look at the problem and worked it out. The tech for the garbage disposal was quick and efficient. He put some dishwashing detergent into the sink, whirled it up, and used it. He also took the time to show me exactly what was wrong, and, if next time around I should have that issue again, what to do about it. Then, the second tech that came out needed an extension cord, and then he didn't need it. Since the service, everything has been working perfectly.

    I was highly satisfied with both of the techs who came out. I wish I could have gotten around asking the second tech to show me exactly what he did and to walk me through the process as to what exactly was going on with the dishwasher. But other than that and outside of them just needing a little dishwashing detergent and a extension cord, they were both very respectful. They handled the business and we had no problem there. For the most part, my experience with American Home Shield's claims process was hassle-free and I would highly recommend them.

    I always tell anybody that I know who buys a house to always get American Home Shield. My experience with them was good. The first contractor made it a little rougher, but in the end, it came out fine. My dryer was not working right, and I submitted a claim with AHS. It's super easy on the app. However, AHS sent a company out who I was frustrated with. They were polite. They said that they had a list of stuff that they would send in, and they did. However, I waited a week and I haven't heard anything. They just called me and let me know that AHS wouldn't cover a piece of it. I had to fight AHS for 18 days on it without a dryer.

    Finally, I got them to send out a second person. He was awesome. I explained to him what happened. He looked it over and said, "I think I can get the part right here in town." He did and had it fixed within an hour. I've had no issues with my dryer since. It was not nearly the amount of repairs that the first company had given AHS and I'm guessing saved AHS a lot of money. I recommend AHS to use the second gentleman who came to my house instead of the first in the future.

    I had an issue that was related to the low-voltage transformer. The contractor came in and said there was a need to replace it. I asked American Home Shield if they covered this piece because it was part of my pool equipment and said they didn't cover anything related to electrical. I then purchased the equipment and I again contacted American Home Shield to have the contractor install it and check if the device was working. It's been a while, but no one has come in and the contractor still didn't contact me to come by. So, I just paid for the service request but no one is helping me to fix the issue.

    I got a phone number for the contractor when I called the American Home Shield. They said they were going to contact them and they said they didn't respond. I called the contractor with the phone number and I sent a voice message for them to call me to schedule a time. Right now, it's been more than a week that I called them, and I haven't received anything yet. I'm a little concerned and I'm completely unsatisfied with American Home Shield because nothing is solved. 100 times I have to call American Home Shield and the contractor, and now American Shield doesn't respond to me. They have to follow up on that because they sent me the contractor. It's not my responsibility. Every day, I have to call the contractor to figure out when they will come out.

    I am in the middle of an issue with American Home Shield. I have been a customer of American Home Shield for over 18 years. I have yet to have one time where they have performed and covered anything that they said they would be covered. In this particular instance, on December 4th, my pool motor, which is insured with my program, my pool motor was making some very loud grinding noises. So I called American Home Shield, they sent somebody over, they said, "Oh, we don't cover it because it's still pumping. It's just making a lot of noise." I decided to call American Home Shield and cancel my policy. Because I said it's always the same thing, whether it's the water heater, my air conditioning. I always end up spending my own money and they just charge me for sending somebody to evaluate it. So they didn't cover it.

    As I called to cancel it, they sent me to another rep who said, "Oh, no, don't cancel it. We will lower your price to $22 until April. And you shouldn't really worry because, if it makes that kind of noise, the motor will probably die between now and April." That was in December. Well, in January, the motor started stopping, starting, shaking and all kinds of things and then, eventually, it died. So now, American Home Shield sent somebody else over, charged me another $125, and then said, "Oh, we denied the claim because there was water infiltrating the motor." There was no water before. But because of all the shaking and grinding and all that, all of a sudden, there was water infiltrating into the motor. So they sent somebody who took the motor away in January. That was now. They took the motor away.

    As of today, I'm still fighting to get the motor back. My pool is still without a motor and they keep telling me that they are trying and they will bring the motor back. But again, it's been over a month now and the pool is without motor. And I live in the desert. So fortunately, we had cold weather. But now, we have very hot weather and I'm still not getting any response.

    My parents referred me to American Home Shield and I just signed up for it. It took a month for it to kick in, but other than that, everything’s been good. I like everything that's going on. It's 125 right out the door, so it’s cheap and then everything's covered. I had two claims. One was for a dishwasher that wasn't working right. It wasn't filling up with water all the way. I did that claim over the phone and the rep was good. The service person who was assigned was good as well. He came over and noticed the problem right away. All it was was a cap that had to be screwed in and tightened down the water piece on the outside of the dishwasher. The service person was there for 10 minutes and the solution worked. I'd recommend people to get American Home Shield.

    The contractor didn't help at all. The guy was super late. He came around 5:30 so he was done for the day. The issue I had with the HVAC was the coil. There was a leak. I told him what was going on but he didn't want to do anything. He took a quick look at the condenser. He saw a couple of hoses that were connected, left, and went to his car. He spent 30 minutes there on the phone. I went to check on him. I asked, “What happened? Are you gonna go inside and take a look? What's going on?” He said that because of those two hoses that were there connected that he couldn't do anything for it. That was it. He said he would notify American Home Shield about doing a second opinion. That was when it got rerouted to a different company.

    The other company was able to schedule the appointment the following day. They came and did the analysis, came inside and looked at the air handler. They took out the little piece. They did the full diagnosis of what was really happening. They submitted the diagnosis, and requested for an upgrade. And they did an estimate to AHS. How it's supposed to be. The other one was to get it repaired. That took another two to three days. it was up to me to make a decision. I had an option to replace everything, and I had to pay some out of pocket. I had the option to get some cash, and I'll find my place and my own contractor, or I had the option to also repair it, but I also had to put some money out of pocket as well. It has already been fixed, and it's working. American Home Shield is not good with these types of things like HVAC units. Even though they say they cover up to 5,000, they don't.

    Bennett Air came out for my recent AHS claim. My unit was blowing out cold air even when the heat was on. I submitted the claim through the app and it was pretty easy to get through. I like that I could chat with the tech if I needed to, but my particular issue didn't. It wasn't working, so there was nothing they could really help me with through the chat. When I tried to do the follow-up claim, it wouldn't work. It kept saying there was an error. Also, with the first chat, it may have taken them three minutes to respond. Then, when it took me two or three minutes to respond, they ended the chat, so I had to start all over.

    But the tech who came out was really nice and thorough. I did look at a few different things. He tried explaining, like he were talking a foreign language to me. But he said he had to make a change, and it should be fine, and it was. Before he left, he confirmed. We could even smell that the heat was working. It was very efficient. But something happened yesterday, when we got home, it was a little cool. But I didn't really pay much attention until last night. I said we'd see if it heats throughout the evening. But this morning, it was 62 degrees in the house with the heat still on. I just submitted a follow-up claim, and if they can come back out to see what's wrong.

    I had coverage with Choice Home Warranty, and the pricing was about the same, even though AHS just went up $20. I don't know where that came from. But the pricing at the time, I was only paying $10 more. The copay was a little more, but based on what I talked to the sales rep, the coverage of what was covered was a lot better. At the time when I first moved into my house, it was an as-is, so there were not a whole lot, but about five to seven service calls in that first eight years. And they only fixed one. Everything else, I had to come out of pocket with. And that's not the way it was explained to me. If I'm paying them to come out and then I still have to pay full price to get something fixed, they're not covering anything. So, I went with AHS, and so far, I haven't had that same problem. The initial representative I talked to was amazing. She's probably the reason why I switched over. I was really worried about coming over and paying that higher copay. She offered me copay waivers for my first cases. She said it will only be good for the year.

    I renewed my plan with American Home Shield on January 2025 and then I also got them for another property that I recently purchased. On the positive side, American Home Shield is very automated, compared to other warranties. Everything is in the app, and it's organized. They have video chat. The technology is good. On the negative side, it has many, many non-qualified technicians. For instance, if your refrigerator is broken, they may send you someone who is only an expert in washing machine. So, you may need to go through multiple technician company to finally have someone who's an expert come and take a look and resolve the issue. It's gonna get better over time when they filter out the technicians.

Bear Appliance Services came out, and I don't have any complaint with them. They were okay. They did fix the issue. American Home Shield's service is convenient and quick.

    The contractor that was sent out for the AC was good. I'm not an expert about air conditioning, but I thought they would have diagnosed the more serious problem of the fan motor earlier. First, they came out because they said it was some small stuff and they fixed it. Then they had to come out a few weeks later to replace the fan motor. My tenants are happy. The problem got fixed. But the contractor had to come out twice to fix the problem.

    American Home Shield is great, and the people who fixed the problem were very nice. The tech was there very early in the morning to take care of me. It was his first appointment. Upon my calling the company and letting them know the seriousness of the situation, because they had a very bad cold spell and had no heat in the house, they heeded very much to my call. So I was very content with that.

    The contractor had very good customer service. They were very serviceable. They were also nice. I was just kind of leery because the problem wasn't diagnosed initially and that caused two trips instead of one. But you can't know everything about equipment and might go wrong with it. I don't expect anybody to be a magician if in fact there was no way to tell that the fan motor was bad from the first time they came out there and inspected the air conditioning system.

    I always like to look out for people who try to do good, and I know AHS tries to do good because they offer a good price for something that's very important to homeowners, especially people who rent like me, who have rental property. So having something like AHS is a godsend. It is a very good company. It's a very good thing that they're doing, and I'm very grateful that it exists and that I have it. Everybody should be on the up and up when it comes to something like this. Nobody should be trying to take advantage of the situation because that will hurt everyone concerned.

    The toilet was clogged and SDL Plumbing came out the first time and unclogged it. It was a younger man who came. The following week, it stopped up. A gentleman came and he also unstopped it so it was working and that was it. So the third time, I called the company again and I told them we were having a problem with the toilet again. I explained things and they said I had to contact American Home Shield to find out if they were gonna pay for it. I said, "Well, it's the same toilet. Why would they not pay for it?" I hung up with him and I called American Home Shield immediately and I was talking to the young lady. She said she would change companies so they can come out. I told her, "Well, he wasn't rude. He was just trying to explain what he thought and for me to call too."

    While I was on the phone with her, they called American Home Shield and I don't know exactly what he said, but the AHS rep told me that they were not gonna come a third time. So I told her, "Well, you know what? If he called and said that, then he lied to me. And no, I don't want them coming back to the house." It's not American Home Shield's fault in this situation that the company, at the end of the day, didn't wanna be the responsible one to come out and really finish and make sure the toilet's working.

    I do like that I can quickly report something through the AHS app and try to set up something when an issue has occurred. A new thing that my husband and I both like is that we can do the video chat with a professional and it's free of charge. It's included within what we're paying. That has been a really great update. As far as improvement, sometimes it takes a little long for a service to get going. So, what I do typically to circumvent that is once I get the name and phone number of the company, I typically call because I don't wanna wait five days before someone calls me.

    It's easy to go online and do a service request with American Home Shield and have someone call you back. I get responses quickly. They're prompt and very responsive. Even if I have called a couple of times and said, "Hey, is there any way I can lower my bill?" They've worked with me on that a couple of times. The prices keep going up which is expected. Also, everyone's nice. I've never had anyone be rude or give me an attitude because I asked a thousand questions. I can understand how sometimes you get contracts, so you sign up for these things, and it would be a lot of jargon. I can understand everything that I signed up for. And I can clearly understand what I can get serviced, which can be hard on some of the sites, like knowing what's covered and for the amount you pay monthly. I like that.

    Recently, a plumber came and assessed the issue. He was polite. He told me what he thought it was. He gave me some information about the tub, which I knew the tub was old, but I didn't know it was fiberglass. He pointed out some things. He gave me some information. He even checked the bathroom and the main bedroom. He checked the en suite shower in there. He said that the stems look good in there. Besides the stems being loose, the showerhead spew water out, which my son didn't tell me, and it hit the wall. The plumber thought that could be contributing to the water leaking down into the ceiling in the dining room. He either replaced them or tightened up the stems or the diverters, and replaced the showerhead. He told us to start using that bathroom immediately, and if we see any leaks within 30 days, to call them back so he can come reassess or replace something, but we haven't had any leaks.

    I told American Home Shield the chain on our garage door broke and the door fell and we manually had to open up the thing. They sent #1 Garage Doors who then repaired the broken chain. The repair guy was nice. I just was upset about the warranty part that AHS covers. I didn't think it was fair that I had to pay for the guy to repair the chain, I had to pay for the door, then I had to pay for a part of the labor that he did as well. My part came to a total of 3,100-something. That was a lot and AHS only paid maybe $200. I don't think it's fair that I've been with them for over 20 years and then I wind up paying for the bulk.

    Also, AHS raises the price every year, and I've used the service just some. So, it doesn't benefit me that much, especially from the last claim that I had. So, I'm actively looking for another warranty that has a little bit better coverage. I got my family and a business on with American Home Shield. But now, I would not recommend them. You have to read between the lines and all that in order for them just to pay a claim. It's not fair for what we pay.

    American Home Shield hires ragtag people who don't know what the shit they're doing. I submit claims through the internet and those go through fine. However, I had a problem a few years ago with the AC and AHS sent a guy out here who didn't know his toes to his tail. He didn't know a thing. He kept telling me, "You need Freon." I didn't need Freon. There was a motor that was busted in the unit.

    Currently, we're still waiting for the contractor to fix my heater. It has been more than a week and a half. The contractor said that something on the heater wasn't in the right place, and they jury-rigged it and that was it. I had to call back and I've been waiting three days for them to come out here to fix it. They said they had to order a part, which they should have done in the beginning. We've been using space heaters to heat this house up because it's freezing outside.

    I keep telling them there's a problem with the thermostat but they keep denying it. If I set it at 74, it doesn't shut off until it's 78, which is a problem with the thermostat. Or I set it at 74 and it shuts off at 68, which means the house is cold. The tech is supposed to be come this morning. He said he ordered the part. It's supposed to have been in yesterday and he would come out here this morning to fix it. I'm changing to somebody else.

    I got American Home Shield so I can have ease of mind that if something happens, there's somebody to help me. Up to some point, it's very good. For some stuff, it’s not good. And for some issues, they don't have good people to send. Recently, my pipe leaked from the bathtub to the first floor. The guy came and made a 20-inch hole in my ceiling. I told him that my pipe is leaking. He just looked at it. He said, “We have to change the whole bathtub. Nothing you can do.” I said, “Can you please change the pipe? Meanwhile, let's see what happens.” He said, “No. I'm not gonna do it.” He put a claim for $3,000. He didn't do anything. Everything was out of my pocket. Nothing covered.

    I asked for a second opinion, and American Home Shield sent me one. AHS was fast. The contractor came, checked the pipe, and fixed it. He was very nice. He was very knowledgeable and helped me. But all these years that I've been AHS, I had issues with the plumbers. And they always told me to bring my own plumber. I'm thinking about switching to another insurance company because of this issue. The price is high and they raise it a lot every year. They went up $60 a month which is a lot. And if I have issues, they are difficult with everything. Every time I leave a message, I ask somebody to get in touch with a supervisor. If the supervisor is not available, they tell me they will call back. Out of 20 times, they didn't call back 19 times.

Since it was a holiday time, I needed to wait close to two weeks to have somebody come and inspect the issue.

    American Home Shield didn't have the oven that I originally had, so they worked with me and gave me cash to buy it at the local store to replace it. I was a little frustrated. I had to be a self-advocate and I made phone calls in order for them to replace the original oven. I had to look for oven myself, but I'm lucky that I was able to replace it anyway, and they paid me for it. So it was a good experience.

    I usually call American Home Shield on the phone, and I did the automatic service. Right away, the technicians call me back or send me an email text telling me at what time and day they were going to come. I didn't have a choice of the timing. They just gave me a time. But I'm retired, so I was open to it. The only problem I had is that they sent a technician, and the technician didn't want to do it by himself because of where the oven is placed. He said that he needed two people to do it, even though I offered to help just unplug it, he didn't want to do that.

    This gentleman had come to my house many times, and he's very capable, professional, and experienced. I really like him. He told me, “No, we have to make another appointment so two people can come in.” So unfortunately for me, it was for another week. The day of the second appointment was at eight o'clock, and the appointment was supposed to be underway, but then they told me that it was canceled, and they gave me another appointment for five days later. So that was when I had certain issues. Eventually, American Home Shield gave me another company, so they could look at the oven sooner than that.

    The day that they had made the second third appointment, the technician called me to tell me that he could not make it. So I was told that Sears does not do two-people jobs anymore. It's only a microwave oven. It's not like you need two people to fix or take out a microwave oven. It's just that the first gentleman didn't feel comfortable pulling it out himself and having the client to unplug it, which I understand, but I’ve done it before.

    The problem was the coordination of the appointment for the repair. So when the third appointment technician came over, he looked at the oven, and he told me, ‘You need to replace it.” But this was the first time I have that experience. Usually, it's okay, but I had cancelations, and no notice. They just gave me whatever time they wanted, and that was not a good experience. Overall, American Home Shield is a good company. It's been very useful to me. I'm a 65-year old single woman. I don't want to have to deal with technicians. Having American Home Shield is very, very convenient, and it’s a lot easier for my situation.

    My experience over the last three years with American Home Shield has been very positive. It has been one of the better companies. I've had a few warranty programs and AHS has been the most responsive as well as the best at paying the actual bill. I've had two others other than AHS. They are all similarly named. They do that on purpose. They try to copy AHS. However, I would turn a claim in and they'll find out they will not cover it for whatever reason. I got to a point, "This is ridiculous. What am I paying for if you're never going to cover anything?" I have yet to have that issue with American Home Shield. They're a decent program.

    The tech pulled out the refrigerator. All he had to do was reseat the waterline to the valve that comes out of the wall. He had to finagle it. He said sometimes those things start to leak a bit and they have to be reseated in a certain way. He put some plumber tape stuff there and all's well. But I called because I was concerned. It was drip, drip, drip and it's right there at that valve that comes out of the wall to hook up for your water to your refrigerator. I didn't want to just do my own little monkey fix and find out that it's leaking inside the wall. But according to him, it's not leaking in the wall. He said he was concerned about that. He removed the panel and looked at the valve itself to make sure that there's not any leaking on the pipe in the wall, he reseated everything and it worked. He was quick. He let me know what he was doing and said, "Make sure you do this and don't do that."

    This is the first time it has taken a month or more. Normally, it's a within and a half. The first time, they came out and said, "You're using two filters. You're using a reverse osmosis and the filter in the refrigerator. That can really slow down the production of the water to the ice maker bad. So it looks like the motor is working. From what I can tell, it's just not getting enough water. Because you have water going to your refrigerator, so I don't see why it would not make ice." I said, "Okay." "Here's our number. Call us tomorrow." I called them, "Nope, it's still not making ice. I took the filter out like you asked." They said, "Okay, we're going to come and put a new ice maker." They came, put a new ice maker in, but it still did not making ice. I had to call back.

    The only thing I didn't like that I thought was repetitive is the technician is knowledgeable and knows what he's doing. He said, "If I got to come back, then it needs to be X." I told the dispatcher that technician already knows what needs to be done. But rather than having a system in place where they can see, "Okay, if they got to go back out there for this, this is what needs to be done," they start from square one and go all the way back and send somebody to your house again. "Oh, yeah, I've been here. I already know what needs to be done." They waste a bunch of time and money for them whereas if they would have a system in place and say, "This is what we need to replace," they could go, "Okay. Yeah, our guy already said this is what's going to have to be done. If we got to go back out, we'll get it on order." They don't do that.

    I'm very dissatisfied right now with American Home Shield. I've complained to them over and over, but there's no way around certain things. The company that they were sending out has this system where it says, "Please hold. You'll be answered in the order." Whenever I had to schedule an appointment because they would never get the claim on time or it takes forever, I would be 20 minutes on hold before they pick up the phone. I've seen so many complaints about American Home Shield as well on another page. They have a lengthy process, and I used to be okay with it until now.

    American Home Shield keeps sending the same people to fix my stove, my washing machine and my dryer, and I don't want to deal with those people, Appliance Repair Experts. They are not experts. It took them at least three months to fix my oven. The technician came back and kept changing parts like he did not know what he was doing. He didn't even diagnose it properly. He did the same thing with a dryer. They jumped the gun. When I mentioned Sears, the technician said, “Sears, they can't fix anything. They don't know how to fix anything." The technician claimed that they were better than Sears, but I think Sears would have come out here and said, "This appliance is just worn and old and it needs to be replaced." I requested American Home Shield send a second person, but they would not 'cause once the claim was open, they had to close it out.

    Initially, Appliance Repair Experts looked at our dryer, then the technician told us, “It caught fire right there.” He submitted a report that it needed some parts, but maintenance would not be covered. Routine maintenance was needed, and I had to pay out around 400 dollars before any maintenance was performed. Once that was done, we let the company know, then they had me send them pictures and videos of what it looked like on the inside 'cause they wanted to make sure that it got done right. After that, they came out and put the roller parts on. When the technician left, he said, "It needs another part. It's not heating right. So, you can use it like that in the meantime.” Finally, Appliance Repair Experts came out and put the thermostat in.

    We turned the unit on and it began making a noise like if something is rubbing, not the noise it was making before when the technician changed the rollers out. I called right away and told the technician, but he said that it was normal. I had had it, so I called to cancel our subscription to American Home Shield, but the lady talked me into, "Just open another claim. It's only 30 days. If it’s within the 30 days, but it has to be the same people again." I said, "Okay. Good luck. It takes you 20 minutes to get through for an appointment." She called Appliance Repair Experts and they said, "We haven't received it in the email. Once we do, we'll call him." They called me yesterday and I called them back today.

    Appliance Repair Experts was gonna schedule an appointment, but before they did, the lady started asking me questions, "But is it working? Is it drying the clothes?" I said, "Yeah. It's drying the clothes, but it's noisy." She made it seem like that's perfectly fine and normal, but I want to see her having a noisy appliance in her house. She did not even make an appointment with me. She said, "Let me call you back. I've got to speak to my supervisor." I'm waiting for them to decide, and it's always, "Let me ask my supervisor. He's the one that's gonna decide" over and over.

    I've even called one time and the guy I talked to told me that he did not have a boss. He said, "I am the boss." and hung up on me. I thought, "The appliance caught fire. I don't want an appliance that caught fire in my home anymore." The technician didn't write it and Appliance Repair Experts failed to send in a report that the machine caught fire because they were adamant that they could fix it. They want to fix the machine 'cause they don't get paid if they don't. It took them four months to finally fix it and now, it's noisy and they don't want to make an appointment for me. I don't want to deal with them anymore. I'm done with them. They should have had this appliance replaced. It's old already and it's got a lot of wear and tear. They just want to replace all these parts inside of it.

    I tried to ask American Home Shield, "Just replace my appliance already. Give me a new one," but that didn't work either. I'm on medicine right now. I'm really stressed out and I don't need this experience in my life. Being perfectly honest, I would tell people, "Don't get it. Save your money. And when your appliance breaks down, buy."

    I called up American Home Shield and the rep that I talked to was nice. I've only been with them for three months, but so far, so good. I'm satisfied. It was pretty easy to submit a claim. When the first tech came out, I didn't get to meet. We did speak over the phone. They came a little bit earlier than I expected, but was able to fix the issue. With the second tech, I did get to meet in person. We chit-chatted, and he was really down-to-earth, professional, and friendly. I'm still dealing with him because they have to order the part. Once they have the item for the garage door then we have to schedule when they're gonna be able to come and install it and finalize the work.

    I have a good price with American Home Shield because I've had it for a few years. I've used them twice and I always call to file claims. It's easier for me to make a phone call than get online. I recently placed a claim and it was fine, except that it took four days before they were able to schedule it. Everything else was fine. A1 Appliance Repair came out to fix my dishwasher. They had to go in through the disposal and clean out the hose. They had to take it out, clean it out in order to fix the dishwasher. It's working now.

    The air was only working intermittently. It would stop working and then not come on, but then at other times, it just would come on. I placed a claim for it online through American Home Shield's website. There was really no way to communicate with anybody. It's crappy. They'd come out, they would do something, and then it would work. Then after my 30 days was up, it would stop working 3 days later. There's no way to communicate that to anybody at AHS to say the guys they sent didn't fix anything, so that's frustrating. They do what they're supposed to do, but it’s winter here and my heater stopped working. I have a newborn at the house and I'm calling them. I'm calling different people, too, but AHS has a bigger network than I do. I called some of the local places and nobody could come out right away. AHS didn't set that precedence for it being the middle of winter.

    I've had American Home Shield since I bought the condo three years ago in Florida. However, as soon as it comes up for renewal, I'm gonna drop it. Stay away as far as you can. They're worthless. The contractor came out and put two new ice makers in the refrigerator, but they never worked. They came back and came back. After the fifth time, the guy said, "Did anybody check the compressor?" I said no. He checked it and said, "That's gone too." Before then, the refrigerator worked. It was just the ice wasn't made. Now, the refrigerator is not working. I get a call that it would be over a week before the contractor will come out. I just said, "The hell with it" and bought a refrigerator. This is ridiculous. It's supposed to be repaired. American Home Shield is supposed to replace it if they can't repair it. They didn't do anything.
