    I've been with AHS for a year and four months. My first service call was about three months ago for a dishwasher. And the man who came was very nice. He was from GE. He thought that I had problems with my basket. So he ordered a replacement basket. That has not corrected the problem, my dishwasher sounds like it has bad bearings or something. So I put in another service call the first of December. They sent me a service number but I had no follow-up, no service call, no appointment, no anything.

    There's another issue with them. I had asked them back for my contract was due for renewal to cover my water heater and so forth, and they informed me that it was not covered even though the paperwork that I had says that it is covered. When I called them to get it covered, they said, "No ma'am, you don't need to do that, it's already covered."

    When I called for a service call because I had two calls in one - my hot water being one issue and the dishwasher issue being the second issue - they basically said I would have to pay $300 because it was not in good working order. So I refused to pay that and I found on Angie's list a plumber who came. Even on the phone with the information I gave him he was able to diagnose the problem. He replaced a single part. It cost me a hundred dollars... So I'm not impressed.

    Our furnace stopped working properly the first week of December, 2013. Granted the type of furnace is not common (fuel oil, i.e. diesel) for our part of the country (Georgia), but American Home Shield's hands-off attitude and lack of communication have left me still without heat 6 weeks later.

    Despite my being very sure all parties understood the type of furnace involved, the first contractor knew nothing at all about them. He found a reset button, collected his $75 service fee and furnace worked for a few hours. The second contractor seemed to know a good bit about the furnace, but chose the path of least resistance to fixing it: replacing one part at a time without any true diagnosis. Each part required ordering, waiting, my calling to see when he was coming back in order to spur him on to check and see if the part was in, etc. The first week it had to be the igniter. After installing the new igniter the furnace worked for a few hours and then stopped again. By the behavior I described to him via a lengthy phone call the next day, a new controller was ordered. His son came to install the controller. The furnace never worked as a result of that new part but another week was gone.

    The next target was the fuel filter. At his suggestion I ordered that myself so that it would be delivered directly to the house. Another week gone. From looking at the old fuel filter, it is clear that it needed to be replaced. But that is not the source of the trouble. Suddenly the furnace is not getting any spark (again) and the fuel seems to have a lot of air in it. He cannot determine where the air is coming from. However he did twist the fuel line while installing the filter and there is now a leak in the fuel line at a compression fitting near the cut-off valve. He does come back the next day to correct the leak, which also corrects the air in the fuel line.

    Finally the proper pressure gauge is brought out and it is determine that the pump is not maintaining sufficient pressure to vaporize the fuel properly. However at this point he basically quits, not wanting to work on the furnace any more. He tells AHS this but no one calls me. Only after I call AHS is any effort put into finding contractor #3. 4 weeks gone, 3 new parts that were unnecessary.

    3rd contractor arrives on a Friday, confirms that the pump needs to be replaced, tells me that they will contact AHS and order the pump on Monday. On Monday instead of hearing from the contractor or hearing from AHS that anything is amiss, I get a service confirmation email that yet a different contractor will be calling to schedule an appointment. I think there must be some mistake as contractor #3 seemed to be on track to a solution. Turns out #3 also turned down the work but another day goes by before I get all the facts and get an appointment with #4. Of course the appointment is for 2 more days in the future.

    Early December, 2013 to now January 20, 2014. In 2 more days the next chapter starts.

    The owners of our home 14 years ago paid for a year of American Home Shield on our appliances. And then after that first year, we just kept it. We have all of our appliances, electrical, wiring, and there's some plumbing in the plan too. I've only had a few issues with American Home Shield. At some point in time we were thinking about cancelling because sometimes they do very little.

    Our home is a 1922 farm house and we have a central air unit that is a Singer and it's from the 1970s and they've repaired it so many times. Our washer and dryer went out and it was a little difficult, they ended up replacing the washing machine and the dryer. It depends on who answers the phone. Our overall experience has been mediocre. It hasn't been horrible but hasn't been superb.

    Generally speaking, I would recommend American Home Shield. However, they had been out twice to fix my microwave. When they left, it worked and they had not been gone long till I made some popcorn in it and it hadn't worked since. That's been about two or three weeks ago. I've been in a rush and haven't called them again. Other than that, I've been very pleased with them. Overall, I would say that it's been very good. I was about to cancel it because in the past, I was not pleased with their service. I haven't used their service in four or five years and have been paying it for that long and I thought I'd give them one more chance. And this time, I was very, very pleased. They came out and fixed my ice maker, my disposal and they fixed my supposedly fixed my microwave.

    I heard about American Home Shield from a neighbor. I didn't do the all-inclusive American Home Shield plan. I picked the items ala carte, about nine different things and it costs 38 bucks a month... Well they've been pretty courteous and pretty responsive. They're okay except for the one incident I had where they could have given me a brand new washer for 350 bucks. Instead they paid almost $600 just for the parts. I got a rebuilt washer but it seems crazy that they would go ahead and do something like that when it was more to their advantage to have just purchased one through Kmart, an almost $200 difference. And I was put out for about three weeks because they had to get or find the parts...

    We got American Home Shield when we bought our house and then we continued it. When we were unhappy with our other one, we looked online, made phone calls and came up with this one. They had a good reference online and I like what the girl told me when we talked on the phone. I talked to her several times before we actually committed. And we have been with them for probably about a year.

    We've only called them two times - one for our central back and one for our furnace. The one in the central back was fine. The serviceman was very nice. It wasn't an earth-shattering thing so it wasn't like it was a big rush. My problem had been in the past that lack of contact was the biggest problem; you called them and they were supposed to get back not Home Shield, but the contractor and that was a nightmare with the other company. And then right before Thanksgiving our furnace stopped working and so I had to call them again. Initially it didn't go very well. It was pretty cold, we were having snow and I have no heat. I felt that was fairly urgent so whoever they hooked me up with didn't. All we got was an email. We didn't get a return phone call.

    I called them a couple of times and then I waited till about 3 o'clock that day and called back and kind of complained. The lady was very, very nice and within 10 minutes I had a return phone call from somebody else and he was there by 5 o'clock. Although there were all kinds of additional issues, he came back and fixed everything. There was an additional problem and he had to get a new part, so my wife was pretty upset because we were supposed to have company and we were going to have to cancel everything. The guy took it upon himself and called me, came back, went to Home Depot or someplace instead of his regular source, bought the part, came on Thanksgiving Eve and was here till 7 o'clock to fix it - not a dime extra. He was awesome, and we were very happy. At this point, we are not going to change.

    About seven years ago when I first bought the house, I got something in the mail about AHS. So we bought their plan that covers the electrical, appliance and pool because I have a pool. The experience has been really good except for the last one which wasn't American Home Shield's fault, but it was a terrible experience. What happened was the plumber they sent over said they don't do that, whatever the problem was. I said "It's ridiculous. You're here, why don't you do it?" The plumbing place hung up on me. It was really rude so I got another plumber. It took them four minutes to fix it and this went on for a week and a half arguing about something that took four minutes. The plumber could have done it. I would have given the extra money. But he called another contractor in that had nothing to do with it. He thought it was something else, wasting another person's time - all our time. I let AHS know about it because I didn't want to receive that plumber in my house again.

    I still have an unresolved issue with them which I haven't brought up. The last experience with them was bad but I was promised a $75 credit card. They give you a $75 credit card when things are misunderstood. She said she would put it through but she never did, but I haven't called to bug them about it. The only problem we have is what's covered and what's not covered, and sometimes it's my fault. But I got everything fixed. I got a new garbage disposal. Everything's good.

    I have had great success in arranging and receiving service on issues with my home under my contract. However, I have had great difficulty in receiving replacement items that were deemed necessary as the original items could not be repaired. The first item was a washer. I selected the washer by e-mail, played phone tag for more than 30 days with a "New England" company and still have not found resolution or received my washer. I used the original email contact from AHS to inquire about the washer and never received response. It has been greater than a year. Next was my dishwasher. Same scenario. Was informed by technician it could not be repaired and AHS would arrange replacement. I am still without a dishwasher. It has been close to a year. I have used the local Laundromat to wash my clothes, quite costly and inconvenient. My dishes I am doing by hand. Not such a big deal.

    American Home Shield was good, it's just the wait time, and they have no control over that. It might be something that they might be able to work with the folks. Sometimes it would take two or three days before we would hear from the people as far as response. They did the job and they did do a great job when they came out. Home Shield did respond but it's the vendors getting back with Home Shield and the communication that was the problem. Overall it was good and it can be stated that I did save money.

    I've had American Home Shield for years at my house in Atlanta. I moved to this house, having a little bit of age on it, in Mississippi. I had everything replaced and fixed and serviced. And then I went ahead and put the warranty on it because I want to make sure everything was up to scale before I have a few hiccups. They checked everything out the best that they could, but little leaks here and there happened and I turn the knob on the hot water heater and that was leaking. So they got a plumber come in and fix the unit.

    I have recommended them to a lot of my friends. I have been trying to talk to mom and dad to get one on their house because it's very similar to the house I'm living in now. When I needed something done, they sent somebody right out. The only hiccup here is this is a smaller town, there's not many people that work for them in this area and so sometimes I have to wait longer. But they always came out and they fix the problem. Even if they had to come back a couple of times to fix it, they made sure they did. They didn't leave the thing for long at all. I've been very pleased with them.

They're very prompt and responded very quickly and cleaned everything up. I called one day and they were out the next so everything was great.

    I've had American Home Shield for years and years. When I was in Glendale or Eel Rock we had it and when we sold the house we extended the coverage for those people. Then we had it out here where I live now in Lano ever since we've been here. We built the house in '72 and moved here in '88 so we've had them all at that time. I've been satisfied on every event that I had to call for. They were timely and courteous as much as could be expected.

We were allowed to pick out whatever it is that needed to be replaced or fixed, and there were 10 or 12 choices so we picked out what we wanted and every time that we have a need for something then we just call AHS and they set up an appointment for us from some local agent.

    I found out about AHS through a real estate company that I worked with years ago. I bought a plan that had everything except I don't have a pool and something with the septic system. Overall, they're pretty good. I'm not saying they are the greatest company but being a single person and not having anyone to do anything for you... it's better than having nothing. However I had a plumbing problem and that was the worst experience I have ever had because they never could get it fixed and they never fixed it right. It was the American standard product that was in here and they said that item was very difficult to work with. They got it fixed somewhat, useable, but it’s not fixed correctly yet. So I just kind of settled for that because I got tired of all the people come in and out of my house. Also when you call and you think that you have one to speak with 24/7 or they can send someone to your home within two to three hours, it may be two to three days before you see someone and I thought when I first signed up with American Home Shield it was a little different. You call in and you say that you're having problem with you’re A/C. Ok, they could contact someone for you. But I've had experience where I've had to contact people myself.

They came to house, did not go under house and look. Looked at pictures on husband's cell phone and left, when I called them they said not responsible, they don't go under houses. I said "I have receipt and line runs from attic to under house and it tied together," they said "no, they didn't do it" and of course won't return calls. In process of talking to lawyer for damages to my house. You pay a fee for a service and then you really pay when you get service.

    My girlfriend had been telling me for years that she had a home warranty, and I didn't know too much about it. And she said it's the best thing to have, especially when you're a homeowner. So I said okay, and I let it go on the back burner. Then I started to think about it because I was paying out of pocket for every little thing. Every time I looked up, something was wrong. I had to pay out of pocket. I happened to be surfing through the Internet and came across American Home Shield. I read some reviews on it, and decided to go with it. I will have had them a year in May.

    There's an electric contractor that came out that said he had to order some parts and would come back when he gets them. But I have yet to see this gentleman back and that was in October. I have placed a phone call back to Home Shield, in which they contacted him. They had to put a new ticket in again, and I still have not heard from this gentleman. Things like that make me frown because I have recommended them over and over again, but with this particular situation, I've even called him personally, and didn't receive a phone call back. And I had a plumbing issue where I had a plumber come out, and the guy was a cocky because he had to come out again less than two weeks later. I felt he insulted us in a way, because he says, "Oh well, you know, when you buy cheap products..." I have the top-of-the-line products in my home and had to correct him on that and didn't appreciate that comment. And I hope that if I need plumbing that they have somebody other than that person.

    I liked the service in the beginning. It was excellent but if this is the kind of people that they have working for them, it almost makes me upset that I put another warranty out there for a year, for another property of mine. Any time I call in to Home Shield, they're very professional. It's the people that they send out that is the problem.

    I learned about American Home Shield through my brother-in-law. I got their condo plan. The company that they ended up sending out the first time did not fix my A/C the way I thought they should have. And of course it got to be winter time so I have to wait until it's coming to spring and summer to see if it's working right but now they did fix the last repair. I've only dealt with them twice before. Overall pretty satisfied, so far.

    I learned about American Home Shield through a realtor when I purchased my home a number of years ago. I had everything covered. The American Home Shield team was absolutely fantastic. I appreciate the fact that they are very responsive. I wish they sent or give you the choice of sending the same service company. I had a couple of issues where they sent different companies out, different vendors. That was okay because it does give you exposure as to who is in the area in case you do need somebody that you can contact. But sometimes you meet someone and the company has been very good to work with so you'd like to keep them but. I still haven't had a bad experience with any of the vendors that they've sent to my home for any repairs. They've really had been super.

So I got a plan from them. I don't know what they call it. It covers my appliances and I pay a separate monthly fee to cover air conditioner and heat. They have been helpful.

    I have attempted to get a washer and a range repaired since Nov. 22, 2013 and as of Jan. 15, 2014 my range has not been repaired and I had to go and buy a washer. AMS collects millions in service fees, however will leave their customers at the mercy of incompetent services reps and sub-standard technicians. The customer is not their top priority and their supervisors don't take calls for project resolution. I was told by a Kentra (cancellation department) that I held no more value than anyone else, even though I'm a 14-year customer. On what planet does tenure not count and you don't want to retain a 14-yr relationship, huh? Then Ms. Kentra tells me to go and find my own company, when I pay AMS to give me quality technicians to resolve the issues. I work hard for my money and won't throw it away on a company that believes they are entitled. My sister is a housing counselor and has recommended AMS to 1st time home buyers as part of their pre- and post purchase education, that will stop immediately due to this experience. There is no way anyone should go through all of this to have a service request fulfilled. If anyone knows of a warranty company that has exhibit quality service and excellent reputation, we are quality customers, please refer.

    There were so many home warranty providers out there and I've been with American Home Shield for a while. They have been courteous and knowledgeable. The experience was fine but their washing machine guy caused all my problems so I was very unhappy with that. I had the washing machine repaired and I don't believe that he fixed it correctly. So then the washing machine overflowed and I didn't use it for a while until I noticed water was dripping and it went into the furnace, so I had to have all that stuff repaired. Then they denied it because he had said that I overloaded it. I have been washing clothes since I was 10 years old and I'm 68 right now. I know to load a washing machine so I wasn't real happy about that and I was getting ready to leave because that cost me $600. But I haven't left yet.

    Submitted original request about under sink "water heater" leaking via voice recognition on the phone. Was called by service company who told me that they were told it was the water heater and cannot attend to the matter since it was not what they were told. Scheduler was extremely curt and refused to answer question about the $75 call charge. I then went online to cancel the original service request and properly inserted the correct request in regard to the "instant hot water dispenser".

    Service personnel was dispatched this morning. I brought the unit that I had taken out over the weekend AS IT WAS STILL LEAKING/DRIPPING even though the water had been turned off (2/3 gal capacity) so that he can see what condition the unit was in. He wanted to collect the service call fee before he was going to call and he did nothing else besides commenting that there was calcium buildup. He then spent the next 20 minutes outside the house calling some party. He returned to tell me that I will receive a call to re-install the unit and he will check that it leaks first before they can do anything. I told him that it will take me 5 minutes to re-install the unit and he can check - but he refused saying that he has the next call to make.

    My schedule was from 10.00 am to 12.00 noon. Service personnel arrived at 10.15 and left before 11.00 am. I am totally dissatisfied with the service I got. I could have easily install a unit myself but since it is under service warranty I wanted to make use of something I have paid for but never made use.

    We have had American Home Shield from my very first house I bought in South Carolina. It came with the house, and at that time we'd never even heard of it. That was 1994. We got their basic coverage and then we also have the washer/dryer and the fridge. Every time a repairman comes out, he's really good and courteous and normally it's fixed during that visit unless there's some oddball part he has to order and then it's still going 3 or 4 days. They're actually very, very good with one exception. We've had our washer repaired 5 or 4 times and at one time they said "You guys just need to replace it." We said okay. They said "We'll prorate it for $400" but from my understanding of American Home Shield, if the appliance can't be repaired, it had to be replaced and the entire cost of replacement was covered. It was kind of strange they only offered a $400 prorate.

    I would highly recommend American Home Shield to any new home buyer and used home buyers. Every time I buy a home, I get American Home Shield coverage. I referred my mother and she got American Home Shield at least 2 years ago.

They had a problem and it was taken cared of very well and she said they were very pleased with it. So far my experience is not good. We have a tank-less hot water heater, and it went out Thanksgiving Day and they still haven't fixed it and got it resolved. They sent a plumber, and then an electrician and sent the plumber back. I kept telling them it wasn't an electrical problem. It was a plumbing problem, something going on in the unit itself. So nobody has been able to fix it. I'm unhappy with the fact that they warrant something that they haven't got anybody to work on and that it has taken from Thanksgiving. I mailed them, and they didn't quit drafting my payments. They are extremely slow and unconcerned. My main complaint on them is they're saying they don't have anybody in our service area that knows how to do this. So, it seems to me that if you don't have anybody that's bonded and licensed and insured to work on it that you shouldn't sell policies that cover it in that area.
