    I submitted a claim over the phone for the heat recently. The representatives were friendly and the contractor is good, but sometimes it takes too long. When I call, it's an emergency and sometimes there is confusion. But otherwise, American Home Shield is excellent.

    It was tough submitting a claim with American Home Shield. I had to call it in because it seems the online system was not taking it. I manage some family property that's why I went with American Home Shield. But it's actually been an issue for me for many years so I end up just calling in every single time I have to put a claim in. The representatives were great. Typically, the contractors are really good. Old Time Electric is not the greatest. The guy installed something to fix the issue that I was having and literally one week later, the issue returned. I didn't put a claim in because I didn't want to get the same guy. The experience with AHS is usually painless.

    I've been an American Home Shield customer for a long time and I continue to renew. So they're doing something right or I am. My most recent claim was for the plumbing and their reps and contractors were excellent. I did have to speak to the local American Home Shield sales representative about an issue I had a year ago with an appliance repair owner, but other than that, everybody has been a 10. I'm a realtor and I suggest that my buyers buy warranties and I let them know that I am an American Home Shield customer and have been for some time.

    My only complaint with American Home Shield is the fact that I have to wait so long for service. I was without hot water... I called in on a Friday and they don't pick up their messages until Monday morning. They're closed Saturday and Sunday. I was without hot water from Friday until Wednesday. It aggravates me and it has happened several times with Universal Plumbing. They put me at the bottom of the list every time I called them. American Home Shield representatives do their jobs and they're good at it. I don't have any complaints there. It's the local service. The last time that I called them, it was on a weekend and I had a commode completely stopped up. I'm just fortunate that I had another commode that I could use because the broken one is the one I use in my bathroom. It was very inconvenient. They're not even nice to me over the phone. When I had complained about them being so late, they said, "Well, it's in our contract. We don't have to serve you 'til 48 hours after the call comes in." That's just not the way it should be handled. I will call AHS and make a request that they send another plumbing company, but I would recommend AHS.

    All the people that they have sent out have been good except for this most recent claim I had for the plumbing. I called and the representative was good and very polite but I wasn't too impressed with the contractor, because when he got out of the truck, the first thing he said was, "There's no point in going any further because you have a leak outside." He had just barely got out of the truck. And I said, "Really? How would you know that?" He pointed at the right side and said, "Well, right over there you have green grass, so that means there's a water leak, so it's right there." And he said that it isn't covered. I understand that if it's in front of my house, they wouldn't pay for it. What I didn't like was his attitude. I said, "You know what? Just leave. I'll just get somebody else to come." I have used AHS before and everything worked out. So I have no problem with Home Shield itself, it was just that one contractor.

    My first experience with American Home Shield was back in November when we had a problem with the hot water heater. Submitting the claim was easy. As for my interactions with the contractors they send, I didn't have anything favorable to say about any of them except the first one that they sent for the water heater. The second one he was very good. I was thinking that they probably use people whose products and services are very inferior, and that kind of had me a little troubled because we had bad experience with the hot water heater, that was our first call. And then we had a problem with the furnace and the gentleman that they sent out said that every part in the furnace had to be replaced and it was going to take him eight hours, which he came out and it did.

    Since then we had to have him back three times and I couldn't imagine how you can replace every part and the thing still be defective. With the appliance, the same thing, a small matter, we have four jets on the stove. Two were working fine and two were not. The first company sent out, he came out twice. He said there was absolutely nothing he could do other than what he had done and they still were not performing properly. And so I called back in. They sent out another company. He fixed it right on the spot and everything is working fine. I've recommended American Home Shield but I don't like the people they send out.

    We've had American Home Shield for six years. Our most recent claim was for a washer and dryer issue. The top of the washer wouldn't spin. The contractor came and assessed the problem and they just didn't come back. They were supposed to come back two or three days later and they didn't come back for two weeks. She never got in touch with them so it was just getting really frustrating. The situation was kind of in limbo because the American Home Shield system couldn't just give us another contractor. They said we have to carry through with this contractor. We were actually about ready to buy another washer and then they finally came back so everything's totally fine now.

    We've had a good experience with American Home Shield. This was the first time we ever had a problem. Everything has been great with them and it's a good service. We don't have to figure out what contractor to use when our washer breaks for the first time in four years and we don't really know who to call and so it's good. It's just one of the things that a big company, no one has the power to do anything and sometimes things fall between the cracks of procedures and no one really has the authority to do anything and that's kind of what happened in this situation. Overall, I still would recommend. We're not cancelling our service, but that particular instance was really bad but all the other experience over six years have been good.

    I had some issues with the pool heater and American Home Shield said nobody would cover the warranty. They put a pool heater in that didn't even last a year. It lasted about 10 months. And nobody would honor the warranty. They altered the pool chemistry. It's probably my fault. I didn't read the fine print where when you install your pool heater, if you don't have the perfect pool chemistry and too much acid in the water and then the pool heater goes out, that you're just SOL with a new pool heater. I'm questioning their pool coverage. But anyway, that's just right now because of the issue. But overall, I'm going to keep it. I need to read the fine print on the coverage.

    I’m upset right now with American Home Shield and I’m looking to leave them because they didn't correct something that was done with the electricity. I'm very dissatisfied with the experience that I have gotten with American Home Shield - from the electrician to the attitude from the girl that I talked with, except the plumbing. I pay my payment every month, pay it on time and they draft it out of my account. When they come out, I pay my service fee. I should get the service that I'm paying for. I shouldn't be getting anything less, and we got less.

    Now, they won’t correct the issue that they've done. They are going to LaToya to say that they were going to reimburse me for the ceiling fan that the man bought that was incorrect, but I had to keep the one up that he put up there that's not the right ceiling fan. Now, I'm left with very low lighting in my room. I have to use my ceiling fan light as well as a lamp light in order to have any kind of lighting inside of my room. American Home Shield was referred to me by my mom and she didn’t have an issue. She was new to it as well. I wouldn't recommend American Home Shield to anybody.

    I would recommend American Home Shield to a friend because they're good. They do a pretty good job and really do contact the person quickly. It's just the contractor that they send out was a little bit overly rushed. I got the impression because it’s like a warranty type of thing you have and the contractor didn’t seem to overly take a lot of time with things. They really need to maybe reveal a little bit of the selection of the people. I had a refrigerator that was out and I called American Home Shield on a Thursday. I didn't get my refrigerator repaired until the following Wednesday. I had a week with no refrigerator at all. I was not impressed. Actually, that call from the contractor, not American Home Shield, said the only day they have open is Wednesday at 11:00 to 2:00. I didn't really care for that. I waited a week so I thought it was kind of a snippy attitude. I was sitting here with no refrigerator and it was hot for a week.

On the TV, she saw “Let us come out and check your HPAC unit for $59 service call." She had them come out and they’re telling her she needs to replace because it’s about a 20-year old HPAC unit. I told my sister, “Elaine, call American Home Shield and you have the coverage. Why did you get some fly-by-night help?” She did and your people recommended off some heating and they told my sister, “You don’t need this replaced.

    We have three properties with American Home Shield and I usually submit a claim online, which is pretty convenient. Recently I submitted one for a broken microwave and the only kind of hiccup I had was there was a bit of a miscommunication between the contractor and American Home Shield about whether or not I paid. I had to call them to straighten that out but it has been rectified pretty quickly once I brought it to their attention... Only other thing besides that was, on the third contract I set up online, where you can actually sign up completely without even talking to anybody and they send you a confirmation email telling you when your contract becomes valid... there’s something like a two-week waiting period. But when I called on the day they said that my contract became available, they told me my contract wasn't available for another two weeks.

    Maybe the confirmation email had sent too early a date or there were logistical issues... but I sent them the confirmation email and said, "In black and white, you told me this is when I could use you guys." It took a couple of hours to convince them of that. The only time that happened was this past time, when I did it all online. So maybe that was what the problem was... Anyway I always recommend AHS because so far we've had some really good experience with them.

    American Home Shield reps who attended our claim was good. The contractors that came for the refrigerator were here a week and a half before that to find out what the problem was. A part had to be ordered. The man that came was not a bit friendly and he was not very helpful. And he could have gone down and picked up the part the same day and fixed it but he didn't want to. He said he'd have to order it. My husband heard him say that. After the part came in, the man they sent was different and he was very nice, very good.

    A couple of times when I've called to find out the status of our request, they'd asked for some number. When I call in to make the request for service, they've never given me any number.

    I have been an AHS customer for over 10 years. Up until the last year or so, AHS has provided an acceptable product for the money. In the last year, the service has taken a definite turn for the worse. During a heat wave last August, the fan motor on the outside unit of our A/C went out. I contacted AHS and was told a repair service would be dispatched from a town over 120 miles away! I contacted that repair service and, no surprise to me, was told that they would not be able to get to us for 3 days! If you've ever been to South Louisiana in August... I don't need to tell you, IT'S FREAKING HOT! I called AHS back and told them this was not acceptable and they basically said, "Sorry, you'll just have to wait. The temp doesn't qualify as an 'emergency'!" I contacted a local A/C repair service and they came out within 2 hours and had the A/C up and running in no time. AHS denied my request for reimbursement (!) I sent AHS.

    In February of this year, I contacted AHS and told them I was making the final payment on my mortgage and that I wanted to set up payment of my AHS service direct via credit card rather than through my mortgage escrow account. "No problem" and they took my credit card info. On April 1st (no fooling!), AHS contacted me by phone and said my contract had been cancelled and they wanted to sell me a new contract - a much more expensive contract, of course. I told the rep that my current contract did not expire until June and that I preferred to keep it in force until then; I was told that was NOT AN OPTION!

    After nearly an hour on the phone and speaking with at least 3 different AHS reps, I asked to be transferred to a Supervisor. I was told a Supervisor would call me back within 24 hours. That was 2 days ago and I haven't heard anything from AHS. ADIOS, AHS! If anyone asks me, I would HIGHLY recommend NOT using AHS. They are not the company they once were.

    I was happy with the outcome of everything being fixed by the contractor sent by American Home Shield. But it ended up costing me over $600 and if we had hired our own plumber to come out then he would not have charged us that much. But it's like we were right in the middle of it. And thank god, our son was a contractor here, was able to jump in and do a lot of it or it might have cost us even more. I was unhappy with the amount that I had to pay. It was because of the plumber that was sent here by American Home Shield.

    The very first time I had someone come out to look at our oven, all he did was keep shooting his laser at the oven saying, "Oh, all ovens are different temperatures at different places in the oven." We didn't have anything to compare it to. So we just have to believe him. And so finally, we found out that the variances that he was giving us are not accurate at all and there is no problem with the oven. So now, I haven't been happy with the two things AHS had come out for.

I waited about 6 wks to calm down and call back and talk w/ their auth. spec. and achieved nothing. I called the Corporate Ofc of ** and left msg for ** to call me. I'm waiting to see if he calls back before I finish this. His company mission statement states that his company's success begins w/ the customer experience. So in fairness, I'll give him a chance to make it right before I decide how to end this blog. PS: The rating below is how I rate both AHS and Efficiency Experts AC right now. However, I will be happy to possibly change this after we talk.

    Nobody's perfect, but on a sense of other companies, I'd give American Home Shield a five. They are excellent and totally outstanding! They're very responsive. They've done such a good job, they deserve the good reviews. And I'm an ex-New Yorker so, believe me, I'm tough.

    I have called customer service on probably 9 occasions to try and resolve ONE single problem. I first called in about an issue with the water heater over the summer 2013 and was granted an "outside authorization" to hire a plumber on my own, because they didn't have any in the area. The plumber came and made the repair on August 1st and billed “me” for the work. 4 months later, I still had not received a reimbursement check.

    Here is a summary of my phone calls: Called to report problem with water heater on approx. July 14, 2013. No response from AHS after 1 week, called again. At this point, I received a call saying I was approved for outside authorization, but had no instructions on how to apply for reimbursement. I called customer service to clarify, and they had no record of me having an outside authorization! Transferred me to a rude and unhelp service rep which ultimately went nowhere. Called Corporate office and was finally granted outside authorization after threat of a BBB complaint.

    Called again to clarify instructions for receiving reimbursement, where to send invoice, etc. Was finally given the correct info. Called to get status of reimbursement, rep said the check was in the mail. Verified correct mailing address. Called again approx. 1 month later, said the check was sent to wrong address. Transferred me to accounting dept to stop payment & reissue new check. Called again approx. 1 month later, rep said the check was in the mail. Verified correct mailing address.

    One month later, and at this point, I still have no check. I am beyond angry and frustrated with this company. It seems obvious this is just part of their business model, to withhold reimbursements. They quite possibly have the worst customer service I've ever dealt with! At this point I advise anyone considering this company to AVOID AT ALL COST! After the investment of time just to get service or reimbursement, it makes more sense to just pay for the repair yourself.

    We've done heating, air conditioning, and attic stuff and quite a few things with American Home Shield. I've submitted it online once, and I've called once. It's always pleasant. They're always prompt, and I've had no complaints so far. The contractors they sent to my home have actually been good. The last one was for the heater. They did have to come back and redo some things, but they were very prompt coming back to fix or finish whatever they didn't finish before. I've worked with them before, as well, and it was fine.

    I have recommended American Home Shield to other people. I'm a fan. They assign the work out to someone. I have had a couple of contractors they assigned that didn't work out. Any time I call in, they fixed it right away. Like if this person they sent to do the work wasn’t up to my standard, then they cancelled it for me and went on to make it right. I started requesting a company that was really good as I had better success with the company that I didn't have any problems with. They let me request who I wanted and it has worked out fine.

    American Home Shield has been great. The people that they call have been outstanding. The only thing is when I call, I like somebody right around my vicinity. Only one time a couple of years ago, they contacted me and said the place is in Fresno and I thought that it was too far. They contacted somebody else and they were from Tulare. So it made it very nice and convenient. But other than that, the people that come out are very, very nice and explained everything. I'm highly satisfied with them.

    My furnace went out. I came home from work one day and our house was cool. I didn't think a whole lot about that because I keep my house cold. I got ready to go to bed and it was still cool. I went in there and it wouldn't kick on. It was trying to kick on but it wouldn't. It had burned something off on the igniter and I got hold of American Home Shield and they got a serviceman out here the next day. I was without heat overnight but the next morning, they were here. They were very nice. They told me if I had't heard anything, to call back and I did about three times because it was late at night and it was cold.

    We had an ice storm here but they got here as fast as they could and as soon as the heating place opened up, they called me and had a guy out within 30 to 45 minutes. So everything went fine. The contractor was fantastic. You couldn't ask for any better service. The men had done the job and left. The only thing I don't particularly care for but can't do anything about is the hundred-dollar deductible I have to pay. It's a little high but that's just the way life is. So far, I'm pleased. It was a very good experience and I had no problem.

    American Home Shield has got good customer service. I've been with them for 5 years. In the last two claims, I had Bullseye to fix my furnace and Cornerstone to fix the water heater. Both companies are very professional. We had a little problem years ago with the furnace people, but they switched over to Bullseye and they were very good. They came in and straightened out the problem. Most recently, I saw water all over my garage. It was the water heater. I called and they were very good and courteous. They sent Cornerstone Plumbing. They came in, took it out, replaced it, and the next day they had to come back because it had something with the air. It got too cold up here so they changed things around. The builder that put in the water heater had screwed it all up. They had to change pipes in there and rearrange everything. They straightened it all out eventually. I've never had any major problem with them at all. Everybody they ever did send over was very professional and knew what they're doing.

    We've been working with American Home Shield for the last six or seven years. Recently I submitted a claim for the dishwasher. They took all the information and immediately got somebody to come by and service us. We had no problems with the contractor. He was quite a gentleman and knew what he was doing. They're dependable. If we have a problem, they come and scrutinize it. The only problem I had was that we've got two to three refrigerators and they said they only service one. That's in the kitchen. Apparently, they will only service one refrigerator, one stove, and stuff like that.They are good.

    This is my first time working with American Home Shield. I submitted a claim for air conditioning. It started probably a week or so before I called because it was hot and we had the air conditioning on. The condensation poured out onto the floor. And then we left the country and of course, the weather was cold so we just turned the unit off. We came back, turned it back on, and the same thing happened again. So then we called. I reached someone on the phone. For some reason, I had difficulty doing the online service request. Something was set up incorrectly. When I talked to them on the phone, I think they have corrected it but I'm not sure. I haven't tried it. They were friendly on the phone.

    They came right away and he didn't seem familiar with the particular type of unit but he was very thorough and found what he thought was the problem. So far so good. Everything’s been fine so far. The performance of the air conditioner now is much better. The person I talked to went out of her way to make sure my problem was addressed. I just cannot express that enough.

    We've had American Home Shield for several years. We can submit a claim online, which I have done, or we can do it by phone. I usually do it by phone and I find them to be very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Last claim I submitted was just a couple of days ago. The water-return found in the back of the bowl never fills up with water. They came in and replaced it. It went fine.

    Generally, they are very good. They’re worth the insurance. They’re worth the program. Although some of their vendors I’m not really sure about. As an example, we had a plumbing leak about a year and a half ago. Vendor came in and replaced a wax ring under the toilet seat that affixes to the pipes, and it seemed fine and he left. We had to go away and were gone for a few days. We came back and there was a major leak. What the guy had failed to do was inspect the toilet itself, and the toilet had a huge crack in it. So it leaked all over the place and we had to have a major rework done on the ceiling over the garage because the toilet sat above that.

    The vendor paid for it but it was a major inconvenience and if I had to do things all over again I would take the time, which I will now do, to look up the vendor they send to me to make sure that they have good credentials as well, because they let you change vendors... We had a recent experience in our second home which was in Colorado where there was a plumbing issue also and they didn’t have anybody -- it’s a small town that we have our house in. They let me choose who I wanted to and I did and it worked out great.
