We had problems on the coldest night in February with our heat pump. It stopped working at about 9:00 p.m. I called AHS!! After being helped with a friendly customer service agent, I was told to turn on emergency heat, and a service person would call us with 24 hours. The next morning we received call from Brian's Mechanical, And within 3 hours we were back to normal with heat and repaired heat pump! We are sure glad we had AHS, and service was awesome!

My heater thermostat was replaced quickly and efficiently by a knowledgeable service man. He very carefully explained how the thermostat was to be turned on and off. He took care in his work and placed the new thermostat so that it looked well and well as operated perfectly. My water heater failed to stay lit. Service technicians visited 3 times, once to clear a line and twice to relight the burner. The second technician to visit explained the process of diagnosing and he remedying the problem. It was determined that a new water heater was need. Follow up on the warranty of the heater was done to determine which parts where covered and when that was done an appointment was made to replace the water heater. The water heater was replaced neatly and efficiently.

AHS has been true to their promise ever since we signed up last November. We've had their representatives to our home to repair our heater on a cold, wet day with no complaints and immediate results, for which we were quite grateful, since it was one of the coldest days we've encountered in the "sunny" south this winter. We've also called them to repair leaks in several of our faucets, and to make sure our hot water heater was working properly. The third call was to get our oven working again. In each case, the repairmen were courteous and knowledgeable. We could not be happier with AHS and the service they provide. We finally have some peace of mind with regard to our aging home and appliances!

The last Ace Garage repair service man sent out I felt he thought because I was a woman that my mechanical knowledge was limited and that he could mislead me on needed service on the amount of tension on the belt after he replaced a Teflon wheel in the motor when all that was needed was a (adjustment of the belt) and the spring that need adjustment because the door was heavy by the way it would cost me $175.00 to $185.00 to have it adjusted. The last repair person didn't comment after he inspected the garage opener or door about additional costs our repairs needed. By the way so far my garage door is working fine.

I was lied to. Given false information. I thought I had carbon monoxide coming from my heating unit. Your man came and all he did was take front off heater turn thermostat up to see if it came on. Then turned it off. Told me I had a smoke alarm and that would detect any carbon monoxide, that is not true! Then said how to write bill so I would not be billed again.

My Overall experience with American Home Shield has been a god-send. It is truly a huge benefit to have such a service available to consumers who have little to no experience with appliances, plumbing and many other services offered. It offers one less thing to stress over as you know someone professional and knowledgeable will be at your aid to assist you. And if you are not 100% satisfied for whatever reason, they are eager to appease the problem. I have recommended AHS to others. And I plan to keep the service as long as I have a home.

In January, I created a Service Request to fix a faucet in the master bathroom. MSE Plumbing came and looked at it and said that they need to come back. While they were there, they suggested we add a toilet problem to the work order. I called AHS and asked for the service to be paired with the faucet work order and the AHS representative confirmed that it was done. I called MSE and confirmed that they got the work order. I forgot the date, but it was late January/early February. During that time, we were waiting on a part from Kohler for the faucet.
We eventually received the faucet part from Kohler and scheduled the visit with MSE to fix the faucet. At the same time, I confirmed with them that they were going to fix the toilet as part of the same work order. They arrived at the house, fixed the faucet, and told my wife that they don't have the work order for the toilet. While the MSE plumber was at the house, I called the MSE business line and conference called AHS. While on a 3-way call with MSE and AHS, the toilet work order was found and confirmed that it was paired with the faucet work order.
I was on the call with Ruth from MSE and she can confirm this. Ruth asked the AHS rep to send her the work order and she'll get it and text the plumber with it. We all said thank you and goodbyes and hung up. A few minutes later, my wife tells me that the MSE plumber left without fixing the toilet because the work order never came through from AHS!
I called AHS this morning and the call center person said that I couldn't join work orders. She gave me a voicemail to a supervisor and I left him a voicemail. This is a confusing mess for a $75 work order. I'm an extremely unhappy customer. This is a rental property and I have limited time to meet plumbers at the house during business hours. I'm expecting the work order to be completed without an additional deductible fee.

I've been with AHS for quite a while and have happily renewed my contract year after year. The cost is reasonable considering the items that have been replaced or repaired in my house. For instance: the motor on my new dish washer went out. I say new but it was one week past the warranty. AHS sent a repairman the next day and had the dishwasher repaired in two days. I've had my A/C, my washer and dryer, garage door opener, ice maker and refrigerator seals etc. etc. repaired or replaced throughout the years. I will renew again and again and I tell everyone they can't afford NOT to have the coverage. It's saved me thousands of dollars.

We hadn't been in our new house a month when we saw that our toilet was leaking and that it hadn't been secured as it was rocking. We called AHS and they got a plumber in touch with us right away. He came within 48 hours (there was terrible snowstorms here) and showed us why the toilet was leaking (because someone had installed it wrong & smashing it, with the wrong size wax ring; and finally it was never fastened down right). He fixed everything, telling us exactly what he had done to correct the problem. It hasn't leaked since. As my husband is handicapped there are some things that he cannot do. I was so relieved to have this service as it is an older house. But I feel I would want this in any house I own: new houses have problems too!
AHS sent out the same plumber a few weeks later as there was a leak in the kitchen sink drain. Again, someone had put in the wrong sized drain pipe and water was spilling everywhere under the sink. He showed us and put in the correct sized pipe and drain, fortunately before damage was done to the new cabinetry. Things can look good, but you know, neither my husband nor I know what to look for. Fortunately AHS has some very fine people working for them and they do! And both incidents took only part of an afternoon to fix.

Problem: billing. January: AHS informs me that they could not debit my ckg account; I talked to someone at AHS who took the new number for the account (new in December) and the billing proceeded correctly. February: AHS informs me that could debit my ckg account, despite the fact that the payment went through correctly in January. I call the AHS customer service number on Feb. 10, give my number again to them, and the operator says the billing will occur at midnight.
Feb. 13: billing hasn't been done, so I call and ask for a supervisor. The supervisor takes the account number again, and says the billing will occur at midnight. She gives me her name and her phone number so I can reach her if the payment doesn't go through. Feb. 14: payment hasn't gone through, so I call and leave a voice mail for the supervisor, asking her to return the call. The call hasn't been returned. Feb. 18: I again call the supervisor, leave voice mail, and again the call wasn't returned. Feb. 18 I use the email address listed on the AHS website to submit my problem in need of resolution, and there still hasn't been any response to the email. Feb. 20: I again call the customer service number, and the person there takes the account number info, and promises that there will be a deduction in the next 24 to 48 hours. We'll see!!

I purchased the AHS preventative maintenance contract for my air conditioning in July 2013. I was told I would be called soon by Morgan Air Conditioning, Lutz, Florida. They never called. I Called them in September and had to leave a message and they never called back. I called AHS and ask them to schedule one of my 2 preventative maintenance checkups that I was entitled to get. I soon was scheduled with Morgan Air. They checked my system and they said all was functioning well. The only problem was according to them, my air conditioning system had too much mold on it and AHS would not pay if anything malfunctioned. I was made to feel like I had to spend $1149.18 to buy a biocide light to get rid of the bacteria. I paid it and had it installed on the spot. Then checked with a friend that had been in the air conditioning business and he said I had been scammed. I called Morgan Air and the installer said he couldn't remove the biocide light now because wires had been cut and it couldn't be reused. Although unhappy, I felt like I had no choice but to keep it. Unemployed and living off of social security at the time made the $1100 very difficult. I am a long time customer of AHS.

I have had to call American Home Shield two times about heating and both times the customer service persons were very friendly. They seem to be concern about me and the cold weather.

Both of the workers that came were friendly and told me what the problem was and what they were going to do to try and correct it. The first one told me if his solution did not fix the problem that I might need a new motor. The second person came out and I told him what the first one said. After checking out the unit he agreed and replaced the motor.

E-mailed AHS the week of January 22, 2014 to report faucet leaking in kitchen sink. A plumbing company, Lindsey, call and set an appoint for Monday, JANUARY 27, 2014. The plumber from Lindsey Plumbing arrived on that date. He said he would have to order the part and would come back and install it. The next week FEBRUARY 4, 2014, I had not hear back from the plumbing company. I called them and talk to a young female that answered the telephone, and asked if the part had come in, she put me on hold and went to look. When she got back on line she told me the part was not in but would check on it and call me to set up an appointment when it was delivered.
The next week, week of FEBRUARY 11, 2014, I again called the plumbing company to see why my faucet was not fixed. This time the young lady told me that the company they had ordered the part from was the wrong part. That they had reordered the part again. I then sent an e-mail to AHS to see if they could use some leverage to get my sink back where we could use it. Did not hear from AHS, but on SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2014, Lindsey Plumbing called and set up a follow up appointment for TUESDAY, 2/18/2014, to fix the faucet. The same serviceman came on 2/18/14, that had came the first time. He said he did not know why his company had sent him back since he still did not have the right part. He showed us the part they had given him at the shop and he said that will not work. The company sent him anyway knowing he did not have the part.
The serviceman is very nice and has never charged us. He said said he only collects when repairs are finished. This is getting very irritating and still for a month now, unable to use the kitchen sink. Also until last Sunday, 2/16/14, Lindsey Co.

I find that having a home warranty is that covered repairs are quickly responded to by vetted service providers and I don't have to search for them myself. The trip charge is paid once for each repair regardless of the number of times the provider had to come before the repair or replacement is complete. I recommend American home shield to all my friends that own homes. Relying on AHS to coordinate all aspects of the repair takes that responsibility off my shoulders.

Our house was built in 1964 and we discovered that its systems were in need of attention. My wife and I were fortunate to have an American Home Shield policy included in the settlement. Under the terms of that policy, we have had the dishwasher and microwave serviced, the furnace replaced, and the hot water heater serviced. For each service appointment, with the exception of replacing the furnace, we paid only the standard trade service call fee - the cost for parts was paid by American Home Shield. With the furnace, there were a few exclusions of coverage in our basic policy, but our costs were minimal compared to the expense of replacing the furnace.

Just so thankful for my daughter sharing her experience with you, as she and her husband have their home with American Home Shield. It has saved them so much, and they are a military family, not rich. I certainly am not well off, either. My husband was so skeptical about it, until we called the first time, and the young man was so good, and assured us that after we paid the initial amount, we were covered! That gave my husband assurance that we would have a good protection of our investment. He has since died, and I am so relieved that we are covered, and that I need not panic, if something needs repairs, or replacement. The repair people they send out are good, and prompt. Thank you.

After several weeks of phone calls to Customer Relations and speaking to Tyneshia, Will, Karen, Tomeka, and Aretha (none of whom returned calls as promised), all they could tell me was your technical (?) department said that they considered a replaced garbage disposal's CAPACITY was based on the horsepower of the unit, not on the size even though the unit that was installed was much smaller in size and could not handle as much food as the unit that was replaced. In trying to reason with your people, I asked if you replaced a 5-ton AC unit with a 3-ton unit that had the same size motor, would you consider that as the same CAPACITY? AHS's final answer was they considered only the horsepower as being EQUAL in CAPACITY, and AHS denied my reasoning & request to replace the unit with a unit of THE SAME SIZE that they took out. At that point, I told AHS that I would not renew my contract and you were losing a customer who had been with you for 17 YEARS!

AHS is absolutely terrible. It may be a complete scam too. They never actually fix any of the problems. Every time a repairman comes, I pay the $75 service fee and then they report no issues back to AHS. I suspect their service contractors are incentivized by AHS to report back that nothing is broken or that appliances are functioning normally even when they aren't so AHS won't have to repair anything. They pretended to fix my range but it was clearly not working properly. They claimed Viking products are simply that way and there is nothing they can do. I have asked to speak with a supervisor and/or manager and they have consistently put me on hold for 20 minutes at a time. Supervisors never call back and the whole experience with them has been abysmal. Terrible service!! I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I have 3 properties covered with AHS. I have always been pleased with them. If I did have a problem with them (repairmen they sent out, etc.) they took care of it promptly. I just had a washer that couldn't be repaired and they replaced it quickly. I also had an AC that couldn't be repaired & they paid $$ toward a new replacement. I would recommend them. I only have one complaint, they use Sears now & you can't schedule a repair as quickly with them. You can choose another company to come out sooner, but Sears doesn't put AHS customers in front of their customers, so longer wait time. Sometimes a much longer wait time depending on appliance and season time.

Then it was another four days until I could get another appointment for the install. The techs were great, it's the company that is lacking. Please review and try not to send them out to me again.

I've had to call A.H.S. twice recently. The first time was for my high end oven that stopped heating almost exactly to the day the manufacturer's warranty expired and the second for my dryer. The first technicians weren't familiar with the brand so AHS sent some different techs out a couple of days later, they got on the phone with a representative of the manufacturer and together determined the problem and solution. It took a week for the parts to arrive so about two weeks after going kaput they had the oven working and I've had no problems with it since.
My dryer started making this awful screeching sound and Joel, one of the guys who worked on the oven came out. After the first ordeal Joel seemed like an old buddy that I shared a war story with (kind of). He quickly determined the cause of noise and had the replacement part on his truck, it took 45 minutes from start to finish. In conclusion, the money I saved on the oven repair paid for the insurance. Did I mention I put in the work order online on my tablet? I am completely satisfied with A.H.S. and would highly recommend them to my fellow homeowners.

My A/C and heating unit are original to my now 20 year old home. I had to call AHS several times over the years to work on it for one thing or another. But a couple of years ago, one of their service company techs figured out that we needed to upgrade the capacity in the electrical system, plus a pinhole leak was discovered in the outside unit, which was causing a Freon bleed off. We were able to take care of these important finds and so far, absolutely no more problems. We'll eventually need to replace the units, but thanks to AHS, our 20 year old units are working beautifully and every year is another blessing.

Also - December of 2013 I called for service on my central heater. ** came out and said my wires were burned because the pilot on the heater was way too high and needed a part etc. He said it could have caused a fire. He got the heater working, but he said that he still needed a part and to talk to someone about what he could do to complete the repair and am still waiting after 2 months.
Sure hope my house does catch fire. These repairs should not take months to complete. I have been with AHS for over 26 years. Yes, I said 26 years. Service was never this bad before.
