    Air Patrol came for a tune-up on the AC unit. They were very good people. I liked their knowledge and attitude. There was no upsell pressuring to buy something I didn't need. I've had them out twice. I said, "I don't want anybody else." American Home Shield said, "Okay."

    I had some issues with my air conditioner. It started last year. The first company came several times to try to find leaks. I've also had companies come and do yearly maintenance. The one that was most recently done was good because they also found another leak. The tech went out to the truck, got the stuff, came back and fixed it. The previous company was out there four times trying to fix it. I felt great that the last company was able to find another leak that the other company didn't find. However, it's very hard to communicate with American Home Shield because their customer service people are not in the US. There's a language barrier when I try to call and make a claim.

    One claim with American Home Shield was disastrous, and the second one was excellent. I hope that the excellent one would be the benchmark for future calls. The tech did a great job. The plumber before that was unreliable and unprofessional. I put in a complaint on them. There was another long complaint right before mine with the Better Business Bureau, where they worked on the house and left things loose and leaking. It was probably a very good thing that they did not do the work on this. But Fletcher Refrigeration, great job. They came out to service the air conditioner. It gets to be 120 around here. They found a wire going to the thermostat from the roof that was cracked and where the wire was showing. So, he replaced that. He did the same day as he serviced the refrigeration. I was very happy because it's air conditioning time right now.

    We had an AC checkup through American Home Shield. We're going into the next season so we contacted them. The person who came checked everything and then they ran a wet vac to suck out the thing. It was really interesting because the day before he was gonna come out, our flood sensors went off. There was water there, and I was like, “Oh, my gosh! There's a guy coming out tomorrow.” It was actually our fault because the previous guy told us we were supposed to run the wet vac once a month, and we didn't. So, six months went by and it was clogged up. But it happened just in time and everything worked out.

    We renewed AHS and we're glad we did because it helped us have someone come and give us advice on what to do. Having the warranty is really good for when you're buying a house, and it really helps if you don't know what you're doing with the house. It is our first house. They bring people in who can talk to you about their opinions like, “Yeah, this filter is too big" or just like what the guy said that, “You need to wet vac it once a month.” It's really helpful to have someone come out.

    Everyone that has come out has been really good. The only problem we're having is that they give us their business card, and some of these people are traveling quite far. So, it's hard to get them to come back again but if you call Home Shield, they'll send someone out. AHS is very responsive. Sometimes, they were over responsive in the sense that, “Okay. Here's somebody to contact. Are you contacted? Have they contacted you? Are you doing okay?” They were very diligent and not dropping the ball.

    It takes a little while to get things done with American Home Shield but for the most part, I'm satisfied. I have a dishwasher claim right now, and they're replacing it. Sometimes, paperwork doesn't go through like it should, which delays things. Sometimes, that comes through the contractor themselves or the people that are under their warranty service. So, it's not necessarily AHS, it's the people they're working with. But for the most part, it's a good company. The technicians they send out are good. When they have the parts, they put the things together. One time, I had to get my garbage disposal replaced. I love that the guy had the part and he just put it up and knocked it out and I really appreciated that.

    I got an email reminder from American Home Shield and I reached out just to get the tune-up for the house and then they discovered an issue once the techs arrived. When I called, I was given the actual company name as well as the tech's name prior to them arriving. Same Day Air Repair was the best service I've had from an AC tech company going through American Home Shield. They were super knowledgeable, professional, quick with what they did, and they weren't trying to upsell everything since they knew I was going through a warranty service. We had the capacitor issues and the showed us pictures of them testing the electric to show that they weren't correct. They swapped out the issue. Our unit has been fantastic since. Overall, American Home Shield is extremely easy to use and they're receptive when you have feedback or there are any questions that you need.

    Family AC Service Solutions came out and they did the maintenance on our air conditioner. They did a good job. They cleaned it out. They vacuumed and they sprayed some stuff in the thing to make it smell. We've also had to have techs come out for our washing machine. They took down the model. We told them what the problem was and they ordered the part. They came back. It was still leaking, so I called them back. They sent somebody out again. He looked, and he said, “It needs a new hose.” They ordered new hoses and it's not leaking now. But I had to pay for that one service call. For the service call, it's a little bit expensive because I also pay a monthly fee for them. I have to pay for the service call on top of that, which, is too much.

    I received an email from American Home Shield that they were offering a check-up on my air conditioning system just to make sure everything was working properly. So, I called American Home Shield to have them do that, which I think is great idea. Everybody should have their air conditioning checked before things go bad. My system is new and Gibson's Air Conditioning & Heating was the company that works with them for the maintenance program.

    I would recommend American Home Shield. Their customer service is very efficient. I had another problem with my refrigerator, and I could not get any communication with the company that they had sent out originally, and I was a little ticked off with them. But every time I called American Home Shield, they tried to rectify it. They have different phone numbers to get ahold of some of these companies than I do. I was a little disappointed in the way that the company communicated with me. It was my icemaker that had gone out, and they said it would be two days and they'd get the part. Two weeks later, I still hadn't heard from them. Their voicemail was full and I couldn't get ahold of them. So, I called American Home Shield and they handled it, which was great. I told them, "Don't ever recommend that company again because I won't use them."

    American Home Shield is a very smart investment and it will give you a certain amount of guarantee that they're going to correct things that are gonna occur over the time that you're on your own. I had spring maintenance done on my air conditioning unit. It was very easy to submit the claim with AHS. I was notified that the contractors were assigned. I was then notified that the technician would arrive at a specific time, and the technician contacted me 30 minutes prior to his arrival to let me know he would be there. He had been to my property before. So he was familiar with my air conditioning set up and I was comfortable with that particular service assignment that was given to us. He checked the air conditioning handler up in the attic, went outside and checked the AC unit, and also checked for the heater to make sure it operated correctly. He said everything looked like it was in order.

    The most recent claim was one that American Home Shield initiated. It was an AC maintenance ticket. They initiated that, to try and keep me as a subscriber. The contractor did their maintenance. They serviced the outside. They ran water on the condenser unit, could tell it hasn't been cleaned in a while, ran his checks on the thing upstairs. The time before that was on the stove. It was a year and a half ago. We were never able to secure the parts for it. And they had to just buy us out. They sent us $1,200 so we could buy a replacement. It wasn't enough money to replace it, so we had to take other measures.

    The burner on the stove had gone out. I put in the request. The contractor that was assigned came out, assessed the situation. It needed a part. The part wasn't available at the time. That was right after the shutdown, 2020. I waited a year and a half to try and get a part. Kept calling. “No. It's not available.” After a year and a half, AHS finally said, “You know what? We weren't able to get the part. These are your options. Click on this link so that we could order a replacement product.” But all of the products on that list weren't available. So, I couldn't go down that route.

    What we had to do was receive a check from them. They gave us 1,200 and change. Everything that we found to replace was $2,000 and above. So, we waited a good while. We kept searching. We were able to find the part that AHS and the contractor never could. I was able to get the part and get it installed for less than the 1,200. That's the stove we have. We just got it fixed. So, it hasn’t been on the list as being eligible for service and/or replacement should there be issues again. That was the only one that it didn't go according to plan.

    The second negative is the price increases. I am not happy about the price increases over the last two years with AHS. When I first started was 2016. We bought the house. It came with a year. When we renewed it in 2017, the yearly rate was $62. The current monthly rate is 102.99. I'm not happy with that, but that's the nature of the price increase. We used AHS early on on the same stove where part of the stove cracked. That one was replaced easily. They serviced our dryer. That was an easy fix.

    I sent in my first claim with American Home Shield for a re-key of the house when we first bought it. The key guy who showed up was very knowledgeable. He was very upfront and honest about some of the things that would cost extra, and I respect that. He said he could still do it, but if I wanted this done, I had to add another 60 bucks. That was fine with me. I have seven locking doors and a lot of French doors on the back side of the house. So, it was no problem. He took care of all that. The key guy didn't reset the keypad one, but he did the lock inside of it, which was a little extra because it was a little tricky.

    I had a very difficult time when American Home Shield denied me a claim when I had to replace an oven because I went ahead and did it after waiting for so long. But other times that I used them, they've been very good. The other thing is with their call center. It’s very, very difficult because every process is, “Oh, we're escalating it. We're escalating it.” Then that'll be another five days and you call back in another five days, and they say, “No. Okay. Now it's gonna get escalated,” and that's another five days. So all the processes end up going on for a very long time. It was very frustrating to deal with them.

    Depending on what repairs are needed, dictates whether I will call American Home Shield because some of their repair people are horrible and some of them are good. I haven't been very happy with any of the plumbers they've sent out. I had a frustrating experience with every plumber they sent me. But the HVAC guy that I use, I got through them and I love him.

    I filed a service request for the AC tune-up. I contacted American Home Shield through the app and I didn't like it. It was not in detail about the service that was rendered. They just indicated to me that they gave me a checklist of what will be done. But when I looked at the service, it said that they were clean or replace the filter. That was not done. So it was misleading. But the contractor was very nice and thorough.

    I've had American Home Shield for a short period of time, and I had 2-10 Warranty. Looking at this plan with American Home Shield, there's always a hidden agenda. You go and pay for a premium plan, but you don't get premium service. So read the fine print. If it doesn't spell it out or it does not state it, you probably won't get it. American Home Shield is okay for certain things, but it doesn't give you everything that you need.

    I used American Home Shield back in the winter when I wanted my heating service tune-up. The provider that they used was horrible. He said he was gonna call me back but never did. He was also talking too fast. The other 2 instances that I used American Home Shield, they used different companies that were excellent. One was for a leaking toilet and the other was for my air conditioning unit that wasn't cooling. They came right away. The one with the air conditioning was the best because of their communication. They found I needed something that was causing my air not to work and they took care of it right away.

    A contractor conducted a free AC tune-up that American Home Shield had offered so that the ACs last longer and they don't have to replace them. The scheduling process was confusing. I did it online and got an email saying when it was gonna happen. I wasn't available then so I called. Someone representing the company told me that they hadn't talked to American Home Shield, that they just booked the appointment without talking to them. They told me they'd get back to me on the scheduling.

    Then I got a call the day that the appointment was scheduled. I was available and the guy was nearby so it worked out. I was nervous ‘cause I googled the company that was coming to do it and they didn't have very good reviews. But I had a very positive experience with that company. I like the service that the guy provided very much. He was a no-nonsense type of person. I'm glad we have American Home Shield and I probably will continue. It's a safety net so we don't get crushed.

    The locksmith came out to rekey six of my deadbolts on my house. She was knowledgeable and able to answer a few of my questions that I had. She was in and out within 30 minutes. I told her that I recently just purchased the house. The key would get stuck or wouldn't turn the lock. When she rekeyed it, she added a little oil to it to make it work perfectly. So they open easy now. Overall, American Home Shield is a good service to have as backup because they cover different areas.

    I submitted a claim when I needed to get some work done on my refrigerator and American Home Shield immediately sent it to a vendor. American Home Shield has a large variety of technicians and it's all local. I've had them anywhere from a married couple deal with my air conditioning to a gentleman with a heavy European accent. They were all professional.

    The only thing that I would change with American Home Shield is that I have to pay an extra 125 bucks a pop just to get somebody to come out and look at something. But when I lived in a different state, there wasn't so much of an upfront cost and whatever I paid on a monthly basis covered everything. Even though the guys did a good job of getting it started, my icemaker is not working. So, I'm gonna have to call back again. But I don't wanna have to pay another 125 bucks to get him to come back out. Also, the receipt that they left me didn't give me any kind of indication and I was out of town for most of the week, so I didn't know it wasn't working till I got back.

    Home Shield sends me something for HVAC, making sure the HVAC is functioning properly. Their contractors are good. I only have one weird experience with my washer and dryer. When I called about the washer and dryer, the guy was rude and he said, “It’s water in it and you have to get the water out.” I told him that I couldn't lift it. So that was not helpful at all.

    I can never get a person on the line from Home Shield whenever I'm having an issue. It is an extreme. Their foreign representatives play dumb, like they don't understand what you're asking for. I don't have that experience when I speak to someone who is in this country. One woman even hung up on me when I had a long wait time and I had to call back and wait for someone else. So it has not been pleasant.

    Home Shield is good if you don't wanna go through the vetting of contractors. No one's gonna be perfect, but they're generally okay with the contractors that they send out. But be prepared to deal with website interaction. The level of service you get when you have to contact someone in person is inconsistent. Also, Home Shield is overpriced because they've cut off some of the stuff that they will pay for. They used to replace your whole HVAC. Now they’ll only give you up to 5,000 etcetera, so it's they're covering less and they haven't changed their price.

I also had a water heater replaced and those two guys that worked on it were highly qualified. It was just the response time from American Home Shield but other than that, it works and I'm happy. My air conditioning and heating system is over 15 years old. If you price the cost of a new air conditioning and heating system, which is significantly less if you go through American Home Shield, I can pay them for quite a few years before I equal the cost of a new system.

    I called American Home Shield to request the free tune-up that they offer but in the meantime, the equipment stopped working. So, I called them to ask them for someone to be here to do both things. American Home Shield told me that it was not possible to do the free tune-up and the checking of something that already failed. I said, “Okay. So, just send me one technician because the AC is not working.” The tech was very professional. He was checking everything. He asked me what happened. I explained exactly the same as I did to American Home Shield, and he started checking up and down and outside.

    As far as doing the claim, it was not easy to get through to an actual person and also, it was complicated to try to arrange something. The two persons that took my call to make the arrangements were not that nice to me. I was not desperate but I was trying to make them feel my hurry to get someone here. Both persons said, “No. We are following procedures. And this is the way that it is. And you need to wait and blah, blah, blah. If we can do something, I will let you know.” It was not a really good experience. It's not something that you expect when you call for help. AHS should be a little bit more flexible. So, in some specific cases, when something is not working, they could try to at least make me feel more covered or have more backup.

If you have an electrical line, a sewage line, plumbing line, a dishwasher, or a dryer, that goes out, it's good to have the warranty. They repair what went out or they replace it.

    Before the winter and before the summer, for $100, you can get somebody to come out and check your air conditioner thru AHS. They test something with the machine but they don't do anything, not even replace the filter. When the guy that came out, I wasn't impressed. I had to tell the guy about what were on the list of things that he was supposed to do and he said no and that he only had to come and look at it, then he would leave. When I called AHS, I explained what the other people said and they immediately got somebody else who said that they would do more.

    But they didn't really do anything for those check-ups. Then, they hosed the system, which I could do. They wanted somebody to come out and be contracted to do more work. But the price they gave to clean the fan was outrageous. But I can't blame that on American Home Shield. That was on the company that they subcontracted to come out. Since AHS subcontracts people who then come out, it's a shot in the dark.

    Besides that, I got a special of so much off for the first year I was with AHS. So if next year I would have to pay more, I would have to see if it would be worth it. But when I had a problem with the drain wouldn't go down, I put in Drano and it went down. I wasn't going to call AHS and pay $125 for them to do the same thing. But if something happened that was really bad, then I would have to call them. Whoever they subcontract to would either charge me a lot or not. Whatever it is, it's not just going to cost me $125. It'll cost me a whole lot more because it doesn't include whatever they charge the other company because there's a whole list of things that are not included. Also, when I started using their app to put in for what they gave me, I had to call them because it came up with a regular service and it didn't work right. Then I went in again and I did it.

    I've been with AHS for over 30 years and I've never had a problem with them. Recently, I had my washing machine go out. They sent a technician in to look at it, then they ordered a part. When the part came in, he put the part in, but the washing machine still didn't work. So, they replaced the washing machine for me. I upgraded a little and paid a bit out of my pocket. I'm very satisfied with it. But I wasn't really pleased with the tech who came out. He was rude and hard to understand. But that doesn't make me feel any different about American Home Shield and it just may have been me.

    As for the claims process, they expect you to do a lot of things technical. I'm not really technical, but I managed to do it with them. It's not as easy to pick up a phone and a lot of it is they want you to take pictures of the appliance ahead of time and that's not my forte. But they had to deal with that because I don't know how to do it. Other than that, I've recommended American Home Shield to some of my friends.

    American Home Shield offers an AC tune up once a year. The technician who came was very good. However, for quite some time, there are areas that I'm not pleased on. I had my water heater that they didn't take care of that they should have had. They had some company come out saying that it needed all this stuff, but it didn't. It was fraudulent. I had a gas company out here and went to the city for what was required of the water heater. They were saying all these things needed to be done. It was 28 days without any hot water. I ended up going in and doing it on my own ‘cause their company wanted all of this. It was a very frustrating experience from beginning to end.

    I tried to discuss it with American Home Shield. I had all the documentation but unfortunately, there's nobody there that will back you up on any of this. You're talking to people in other countries and they don't understand the permit. It’s unfortunate they don't have anybody there that you could speak to that's up above that could make decisions. I don't think American Home Shield cares. Shame on them for these advertisements that they put out on TV. They send out these contractors that wanna take advantage of customers. There was another situation with some of my faucets. It took five times and two different contractors. You have to fight tooth and nail to get what should be taken care of but it shouldn't have to be that way.

    American Home Shield has been great for the years I've had them. I go online, log in to my account and tell them what's wrong or what appliance is not working. Within 24 hours, someone calls me and sets up an appointment to come repair whatever needs fixing. I got a new washer out of them a few years ago. The company they sent to repair it said it was not repairable. American Home Shield gave me a list and I selected one.

    However, I'm having trouble with a company that they sent out here for my dryer. They said it was a heating element and replaced it. Within the 30-day warranty they give, the dryer was not working again. It gets hot but won't come on, so I have to unplug. They told me I had to have the dryer vent cleaned, and they don't do that. I had to hire an extra person to come out here and clean the dryer vent, which he said wasn't bad. I have to send that invoice to American Home Shield to send to this other contractor. I thought a company that works on a dryer would know how to clean the dryer vent, but apparently not. Other than that, everything's been good.

The guy who did the AC tune up was very polite. He showed me his card and went straight to work. He walked me through what he was gonna do. He tested the condenser and told me mine was a little bit lower than normal. He washed the unit out and checked my air filter too. He recommended that I go back to the cardboard filter and said it's better for the system. I have the washable ones.

    American Home Shield periodically sends me emails when they got deals for heating and air conditioning maintenance and free tune-ups. The last time that I had anybody do anything with my stuff, it was the email they had put out with the free maintenance and upkeep where a repairman came out and did the annual maintenance on my heating and air. He was very thorough and let me know everything was looking good. There were a few things that I needed to be aware of in the future, but there was nothing major that was pending right then and there. He cleaned the unit itself and replaced the air filter.

    The last time that American Home Shield sent me an email was about my carpet cleaning and they recommended a company. The company came out and did a great job cleaning my carpet. I was very happy with them. But I haven't had very good luck with American Home Shield. I cringe when I call. Usually, when I get somebody, they can barely speak English and I get more frustrated trying to explain my problem to them. It's been hit or miss.

    This company has screwed me for the last time! Our water heater wasn’t heating and AHS sent someone out three separate times before finally deciding to replace it. We went about a month without hot water, then had them jack up our out-of-pocket amount to replace it. All kinds of charges to “bring it up to code.” We called a reputable company who confirmed that the charges were bogus. So I complained and we were offered $500 to use the company of our choosing. The heater and labor was over $2,500! They wouldn’t budge off the $500 even though there’s no way we could even get the heater for that, much less the labor. So we canceled this “warranty” and will warn anyone to avoid them like the plague. They took our monthly premiums for 10 years and this is the service we got for it.

But it'd be nice to have a 24-hour because the first time I ever used them, I had a leak and it was Christmas. Nobody wanted to come out at the time but a leak is a major problem.

I also get emails from AHS about any special going on for chimney cleaning, HVAC cleaning, etc. I also received one for clearing out the clutter. They send a lot of newsletters, too. They are a good company and it's nice to have a just-in-case where you don't have to pay thousands of dollars right then and there to replace something.

    Initially, we had AC Wizard come out for a tune-up. They thought there was an issue with the coil for our upstairs AC units. They told me I had to call and get another appointment. I called American Home Shield after we got back from spring break activities, and they sent out Heritage Air. The repairman checked it and let me know the coil was only at 50% capacity. He said, "We'll probably lose it to AC Wizard because they came out to do the initial look."

    I tried to get it to switch over to Heritage, but American Home Shield wouldn't have it. They sent AC Wizard out and they replaced the coil. Once that happened, we still had issues and didn't know what was going on. We ended up paying another $100 for AC Wizard to come back out. The guy was amazing. He was determined to find out what was going on. Initially, he thought it was a wire that was loose. He crimped that but it still didn't work. He came out the next day and found out our drain line for the upstairs AC unit was completely clogged with debris. He blew air through it and it's been perfect ever since. It took forever to diagnose and finally get the right guy but overall, American Home Shield is worth the value especially when you move into a home and you haven't been there from the get-go.

Nobody knew what the other one was doing. One person would tell me, "It's been ordered. Call me back in a day." I'd call him back and the next person I'd talk to would say, "I don't know what you're talking about because it hasn't been ordered yet." The next day, I'd call and they'd say, "It's been shipped." Then I'd call back, get a different person and they'd say, "No, it hasn't been shipped. We just ordered it." Then when they finally got it, they were gonna come fix the issue with no warning so it was very frustrating. At that point, I would not have recommended any of the people I was doing transactions with to use them.

    American Home Shield has been very quick and reliable. They cover major appliances. I tell them what I need for service and the amount of time for the person to come out is usually a couple of days. I like how fast someone comes out. I recently called when the fan in the unit wouldn't shut off. They sent me different contractors at times, and one of them checked up on the unit to see how it was functioning and said that I needed a new part for it to get the fan to stop. But he couldn't do it because he was there for just the checkup, and it needed another authorization to do that. It took a while because they had to order a part. The repairman said there were some fuses in the unit that needed replaced and he did that.

    American Home Shield sent me a deal for my air conditioner to get checked out. A contractor came out and checked it. I had two issues, and they fixed it right away. Every time a contractor has came out, American Home Shield has taken care of everything. It doesn't cover everything, but if I have a leak in my house, I can call them, which I did when I've had two leaks in my house. They took care of sending somebody out to look at it, check where my leak was to get the leak repaired. They sent somebody out to dry out the sheetrock. They ripped up my carpet that got wet. Also, if my air conditioner goes out, they'll come out and replace it. I only have to pay my 100 bucks which is a very minimal cost to me. I don't like having to pay that big lump sum, but it's still under 1,000 bucks for a year. If I hadn't had American Home Shield, I would have spent more than that 1,000 bucks already.

    Occasionally, American Home Shield sends out notifications that you can get an air conditioning-heating system inspection for only $100. I took that offer and the people who they scheduled to do my service found some things wrong and they had to come back and fix them. The tech was a good guy. I liked him. He did both the inspection and the service itself, and I like that, to deal with the same person so you don't have to explain anything to him. It was a good experience. But I was confused about exactly how to use the service once I needed an actual repair done. It was difficult to get everything passed out. I spoke to two people and I had to speak to a third person in order to get someone who understood what I was asking and who took care of me and everything went well. So even though it took me a few times to call, the individual who I spoke with before the service was done was able to understand what I was saying and fixed everything.

    When I requested service for the inspection of my air conditioning and heating system, I had to pay the $100 right away. I didn't know that but that was my fault because I spent so long not reading over how American Home Shields works. I went for a long time not using the service that I paid for. So it was an education, but overall, it's definitely worth the money compared to if you had to do the repairs straight out of your pocket which would probably cost about $600. That's pretty good savings.

    Before I had American Home Shield, I had all my repairs straight out of my pocket, and it was very, very expensive. The comparison of how much it would cost without having American Home Shield makes it worth every penny that you pay. I only pay $65 a month, and everything in my house is covered. I used their phone app and it works fine as long as you understand how the system works. It's straightforward. You go in, you request the service, and they schedule it, and then you pay. That's pretty user-friendly. But every time you use it, they should have a guide explaining how the process works, what you have to do, and what's gonna happen. It’d probably take about four sentences to educate a person enough so they'll know exactly how they're supposed to proceed.

    I submitted a ticket online and then spoke with American Home Shield because of my situation right now. The woman who helped me was very good. I lost my job in December and I called them to get some stuff done and take care of the account and she was just above and beyond what I ever expected the company to do. When I signed up originally, I scoured the internet before I chose American Home Shield. One of the reasons that I chose American Home Shield for the platinum package was because of the price. But after being a customer for two years, my rates went up from 74.99 to 94.99 and I only used them once in 2022 and 2023. So I couldn't understand why my premium went up when I hadn't even used the service.

    American Home Shield needs to make it a little bit more clear that after a certain period of time, the rates will go up. My contract is set to renew June 10th and the young lady that I spoke with and voiced my concern about the pricing told me that when I renew, it would go back down to the 74.99. But I'm not sure why the price went back to the original.

    When CC & Sons came out, they did an amazing job. They talked with me every step of the way, letting me know what was going on. I would recommend them highly to anybody. The only issue I had was with Plumb Right Service Plumbing. My sump pump was new when I bought the house. The plumbers ended up having to replace my sump pump, but they put a smaller sump pump in. It did not work and almost flooded my basement. I called and called and called over the weekend. They didn't offer any 24-hour service.

    I sent emails and even contacted American Home Shield. Then they finally got somebody back out that following Monday. They came in, did some work, and said everything was fine. But something was wrong inside the hole where the sump pump is and when they came in that second time, they left without really discussing or going over anything else with me. It was a little upsetting. They were kind and business-like. But they lacked in communicating exactly what happened and what was wrong. Then we had rain that weekend and I was scared to death my basement was gonna flood because of the sump pump. Nobody contacted me back over the weekend. I had to wait till Monday morning to get somebody here.

Once the job was started, they completed it within a few hours. American Home Shield is a really good program. It's saved me a lot in repair costs. The only thing that I would have a suggestion for is that, rather than paying monthly, I'd like to pay an annual plan and get a discount on that. So, that way, I'm not having it affect my monthly budget. I'm looking through the updated contract that they sent me that is supposed to be effective on the renewal on June the 5th.

    Advanced Home doesn't know how to use their equipment. When I had real plumbers come in, we found out what was really going on. The guy that American Home Shield had a contract with said that AHS wouldn't cover my situation with my plumbing because I didn't have an outside catch, which I do now because I had to pay for all of that. The guy from Advanced Home couldn't even do anything. He charged me $700 to pull a toilet and then didn't do anything. He didn't even know how to find his camera with the reader. He gave me a location that was the exact opposite of where the sewer line was. He did not know what he was doing. I had to get plumbing to come out, and they knew where the stuff was and found everything. We found the plumbing issue, which I had to pay 7,000 out of pocket to fix. AHS needs to vet their contractors a little bit better.

    I've only been with American Home Shield for a year up to this point, and I recently had to upgrade to their full service because they seem to loophole out if you don't have their highest service on things. With the plumbing issue, I had to go up there to try to get things resolved. Now I have their highest level, so I'm gonna see because I have to call them. I have a leak and the roofing company came out and said there's a crack that developed in the roof because the property shifted. So, they need it fixed that crack. American Home Shield's app and website aren't really user-friendly. They don't provide numbers to call to customer service. They want you to do everything through their app and you can't always pinpoint a situation or a resolution because of that. They have a range of needs instead of something specific. It doesn't give an option to put in what specifically needs to be done.

    American Home Shield wouldn't go to the vendor that Jet Mobile wanted them to go to. Finally, we convinced them. AHS couldn't get the part. It was a coil for my air conditioner and they were very obstinate about it. Companies have parts for their different things, and they sell them to a second market who sells those parts. They are original manufacturing parts, but they don't handle them anymore because the air conditioner itself is eight years old. I don't know how AHS convinced Rheem after my phone calls to them and my phone calls to Jet. He said, “We're trying to work with them, but they're being very obstinate about having to go through Rheem to get the part, and it's just not available.

    Finally, we convinced them that the part was available and in stock at the second market company.” They went to them to get the part, and we got the thing repaired. Also, AHS refunded me the $125 deductible because of the problems I had. They stepped forward when they needed to. AHS uses people that aren't good. That's one of the major problems I have with them. But this Jet Mobile was a good person. The person I had before them was supposedly Quality Air Conditioning. They were bad. The guy didn't have anything to know what he was doing. And I don't know if he had any experience working on air conditioning, but they weren't quality. I was able to get Jet Mobile, but AHS had to go through their means, but they let Jet Mobile order the part. Once Jet Mobile was able to order the part, the thing was repaired. But I was a good eight weeks without air conditioning. That was horrible.

    AHS seemed to be more expensive, but they all had the same problem of using 1-star companies. You go to a regular vendor, and they're not members of AHS. That means some guy that is looking for work who has a license. But the one I dealt with had no idea what he was doing. He broke my dishwasher. Luckily, AHS came through and replaced the dishwasher. They gave me a $750 allowance, and I bought a new one. The contractor who installed it sent out a guy again to install it. AHS would fix anything. They don't care what you've done. It's in their contract. If they started using 5-star vendors, they would be a good company. Even though it costs more, I'm willing to pay more if somebody is more experienced.

    My experience with American Home Shield has recently not been great. We had a refrigerator that broke and it took several months to get it repaired. We were without a refrigerator and it's a family of five. They sent several people out to try to repair it and we asked several times how come they were not replacing it if it's so hard to fix. It works now but that damage is done. I had to pay for a lot of food, eating out and finding different things we could do without a refrigerator -- even through the holidays. They did not seem to want to help us through that or see the urgency in that even though we pointed it out to them several times. But it didn't stop us from being a customer because I feel like at the end of the day, the warranty is worth having. If something breaks, knowing that I can get it repaired for usually relative ease and having the option to get a new appliance, although it didn't seem to work out for the refrigerator, it's worth keeping.

    I have two policies with American Home Shield and when signing up with them, they're very attentive. But sometimes, when you're calling in to schedule services, it's best to do it online and have them contact you to set up something. You can then make sure it gets set up correctly before they send anyone out. Using that call-in number is problematic. Sometimes, when you're asking them questions and they can't resolve it, you ask to speak to a supervisor, but they won't transfer you to anyone else to try to resolve the problem. It's that first level of call, and if that person can't help you, you're stuck. They say they will try to escalate but they may not call you. You gotta keep calling back, and hopefully, you'll get someone who's been there a while who can help you. That's frustrating for a person who pays their premium.

    Other than that, I've been happy with American Home Shield. When they send people out, those people are great. They offered a maintenance call for the HVAC for free and the repairman did a good job. I also had work done on the unit when one of the blower motors had gone out on it. A repairman came out and replaced that. He had to make two trips because he didn't have the part the first time, so he had to order it which took a week.

We always have them check the furnace and air conditioning in spring and fall, and in the time we've had them, we've also had them come out two other times for things that have been broken. The contractors that they've used have been good. Recently, we had our air conditioner checked for the summer. My husband told me the tech was a good guy and checked everything out, and it was fine.

    The technician who did the annual maintenance on our unit did a wonderful job. I was very pleased with him. I asked him some other questions about maintenance and how often I should, and he was very helpful. I like that I could call American Home Shield and their contractors would come out quickly, usually. It's a peace of mind when anything goes out. Everything I've had trouble with has been covered. I've had a few times where they've come out for the refrigerator, washer, dryer, and water heater. They're excellent. They give me all the information I need to be safe. It's also a fair price, especially with all the increases that have happened. I don't think they've increased as much as everybody else has after covid.

    AHS has the best warranty for the same price as everybody else. Recently, I had some cleaning done on the AC unit. Somebody called me from A-US Air and set something up. It happened to be bad weather so the guy who was supposed to come out called me and we set up something for the following week. He was extremely professional. It turned out he had done work on this house for 10 years before we bought it so he was familiar where everything was.

    American Home Shield is quick. They dispatch people and follow through. When nothing can be done about the issue, they always find a solution. Their contractor worked on my icemaker on my refrigerator four times, trying to get it fixed. They replaced part after part but they never could get it right. But it wasn't their fault. It was just bad manufacturer. When they finally couldn't get it fixed, American Home Shield bought the refrigerator out and let me buy a new one. Recently, Royal Flush AC came out for a preseason check on our AC unit. They went up, checked the attic, blew out the condensate line, checked the compressor and did a good job. Every time the contractors have come out, they've done a great job. They're congenial and well trained. I have had other service companies that send kids out with hammers to bang on things, but not this place. They seem to be very well qualified.

    American Home Shield is very responsive. There was no heat in our master bedroom and one of the other rooms, so we scheduled an appointment with them. It was very easy, and I received an email about the repair company, their name and when they would be out. It was well coordinated by both the home warranty company as well as the repair company. They were very polite and the process was very smooth.

    The repair company came out and said the air handlers needed to be replaced. American Home Shield approved it and the air handlers were replaced. Afterwards, the city of Georgetown was supposed to come out and inspect, but they didn't bring a ladder with them. The guy left and said, "Oh, well, the company will have to reach back out to you." That was really unfair to the company and it's silly that the city of Georgetown didn't bring a ladder with them for an air handler. So that part has not been done yet.

    I am a little bit disappointed with American Home Shield. They refused to replace the dishwasher that had completely gone awry and they insisted there is nothing wrong with it. Ultimately, it was leaking and causing me devastation. But even after it leaked and I called them twice for it, they said there's nothing wrong with it. American Home Shield dispatched two appointments and they kept saying that the dishwasher was fine. But I brought the water mitigation people in and they narrowed it down to the dishwasher leaking. I had to toss the dishwasher away and buy a new one. Also, I had to pay for entire floor of hardwood and to have my garage ceiling fixed.

    It all started with the water heater. The water heater went bad, started leaking, and then everything else that takes hot water in the house started breaking down. I had to wait days to get them to come and replace stuff and that's what bothers me most. There was no sense of urgency for that. They refused to replace and they had to put in three or four parts -- almost reassembled the entire thing, and parts took time. I stayed without water heater for over 10 days and it was in the middle of March, so it was still cold. They said there was nothing that they could do.

    Also, they would not pay for my laundry. I had to take my stuff to the laundromat and the wash and fold service. It’s very expensive and I have to pay out of pocket almost $500 worth of washing stuff. They could have replaced the washing machine for 600 bucks. Had I known that going to the laundromat while they are trying to fix a washing machine in the laundry room is gonna cost me a new washing machine, I would have gone on my own and bought a new washing machine. To give them credit, when I really pushed hard and I had to escalate, they waived the $100 deductible for the washing machine. But I'm not happy overall. I would be thinking hard and twice and 10 times next year if I renew my membership. It's expensive for the kind of service I got.

    The claim process is all right. It's 100 bucks to send out a technician and then depending on what they see, if they can fix it, they fix it and they don't charge me. If not, I get money depending on what the problem is, like a percentage off of whatever the total cost of repair is. I had to get a new HVAC unit and they took three grand off for the total. My experience has been okay so far, although I had one issue where they had somebody come out and I wanted them to send somebody else to fix what the first contractor did. Initially, they wanted to charge me again but I was not gonna pay to have them send somebody out to fix what they messed up. Then, they put me in touch with management and they had somebody come out and gave me a free month.

    Also, their customer service department needs work. Their first-line agents are not empowered to do anything, so they just read the script. The frustrating aspect of it is I understand what they're saying to me, but they're not listening to what I'm telling them. They just repeat the same line over and over again. The second I get to a manager, he'd be like, “I don't understand why they didn't just do that for you.” That's a common experience with them.

    Every time I have a problem, they fix it. The furnace blower fan went bad and they couldn't find another blower so they added a new whole unit. It cost me $600 doing it but I still saved money because it'd probably cost me $3,000 to have it replaced. Most recently, Myers Comfort Specialists came out and serviced my air conditioner for the summer. But for them to only send out Myers was hard because I live in Tuscaloosa and they only come to Tuscaloosa two times out of the week. The tech was good, though.

    The worst. Had an air conditioner compressor go out. Sent contractor and said they would fix the a/c but my portion would be $800. No details just agree to paying $800. Did some calling and found out the extra was for uncovered costs for refrigerant. Contractor cost was 110$ per pound. Local industry standard charge is 60 per pound. Contractor cost is $14 per pound. He later called and said he was sorry but signed a lock in price contract with AHS that he had to charge that much. Of course, HS denied that. My contention was either they forced the price, or they hire contractors who inflate their price with no concern for the customer.

    I settled for cash payment ($704) Which proves homeowners cost for uncovered is always more than customer's extra costs. I received an email that I would receive my payment deposited in 1-3 days. After a week and many calls, they are saying our system isn't working. Payments aren't going out. Don't know when it will go out. This explanation was after one telling me it would be 14-21 days, Another to simply wait another day. No one who can really answer questions or give accountability.

    We paid the blanket fee of $100 so the contractor could come out and do a check on the air conditioner before we turned it on. We always have it inspected in the spring and fall because ours is a combination heat and air. It was a normal check. They found this leak, fixed it and put new Freon in at the same time while they were here. I was glad that they didn't have to come back again because American Home Shield would have charged me another $100. I'm perturbed about what they're doing now since they were bought out by another company and merged with somebody else. It is not as good. And it has become more expensive.

    We had the original company since we've lived here. That was nine years ago that we got them. Everything was fine. We're very pleased with the service. My refrigerator quit on me. AHS sent somebody out the same day. I did not have to pay a fee to them. I just had to pay for the part, and it was inexpensive. But nowadays, I'd have to give them $100 before they even referred anybody to me without knowing what was wrong.

    I also had problems with my dryer and it quit. The contractor had to order parts for it because the motor had gone out. The tech came back twice, because the first time, he thought it was just a short. He came back with the part a few days later and said, “No. It's not that. The motor died.” So, they had to order a motor. It was a week later that they came back and put a new motor in. But these are old appliances. They were here when we moved in. And we have never bothered to get new ones because they work. If a guy has to come back, AHS wants another $100 from me every time he came. I'm not happy with that because I never had that problem before AHS got bought out. Check around and not just go with them.

    American Home Shield is hit or miss. It's like pulling teeth to get answers out of them. The last couple of claims, I was able to do online. Online is painless.

I may or may not be on hold until the end of time.

    Also, AHS' customer service is a nightmare to deal with. They're popular with realty companies, so they're a big name out there. But I feel they don't have attention to the individuals that they cover. And they don't have good coverage. They have a high copay compared to other companies. The person they sent out for the keys was amazing. But the last person that was there that did a plumbing inspection was unprofessional, rude, and trash-talked the competitor.

They weren't clear on what the issue was, and wanted to charge me money to have the repair done because it was a modification.
