My experience with AHS was painless. I submitted a request for a broken garage door. I had a spring that broke. The technician came out the next day, fixed the problem and didn't try to upsell me. Having American Home Shield is a peace of mind thing. The plan I'm currently subscribing to is no longer available and the new plan has a little broader coverage, but it's 20 bucks a month more. So, I'll probably still keep them. I'm gonna have to look at what other items are covered to see if it's gonna be worth the extra $240 a year.
The contractors have been a little hit or miss. I had a water heater claim and because I live in Nevada, there are certain requirements for code, and the contractor said, "No, that's not covered." I had just talked to American Home Shield and they told me it was all covered. So, it was an unscrupulous company trying to get me to pay a couple hundred bucks for things that were covered. Other than that, AHS has been good so far.

My experience with American Shield has been okay. There's one call I'm still pending on, which I haven't heard back from them. Other than that, they have been prompt sending out engineers when I needed it. They send fairly quality folks compared to what I used to have before. The most recent claim was for the garage door motor. It wasn't working as it was supposed to. The guys that they send out did a fairly good job. It's been working fine since the repair.

I've moved nine times, but I've had American Home Shield for over 20 years. It's well worth the peace of mind and service has been great. When my ceiling fan did not work at all, I submitted a request online through their website and it was great. They dispatched Dakota Electric and they contacted me right away for the appointment. When they came out, they inspected my ceiling fan, confirmed that the fan motor was burned out and worked through American Home Shield to get it replaced. They purchased a ceiling fan, came back out, and installed it all within one day. The service was tremendous. They were very professional, timely, and responsive.

When our fridge was not dispensing ice, I went online, submitted a claim and it was super easy. Express Appliance Service called and asked me to do a video before they came out. They did a remote diagnosis, then they said they were sending a technician. However, I wasn't happy with the first technician who did the first diagnosis. In communicating with the guy, he didn't seem to have the best understanding of the problem. Express Appliance Service had to send in a second technician, and he did a fantastic job. He saw what the problem was and ordered the part. He came in a second time, fixed the problem and the fridge has been okay since then. Mostly, American Home Shield has been very good. Their level of coverage is broad, and I like it. I recommend them to my friends.

I have American Home Shield as a home policy when things go bad. Years prior, I had the full plan with appliances covered. When I updated all my appliances, I figured there was no need to have the full plan, so I cut the appliances off and saved myself about 20 bucks a month on the payments. I had a system policy and it only covered breakdowns in electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. My appliances were not covered under that plan. It was about 40 bucks a month, and I just paid my last payment for the year on that policy. Knowing that I could have a problem with my dishwasher down the road, I renewed my policy and added the appliances back, so I'm back on the regular full plan.
I've had good dealings with American Home Shield over the years. They generally respond within one to two days and get somebody out, and for the most part, the problem gets solved. I submitted a service order on the phone and the rep was on top of everything. The repair guy came out within two days and he was really nice, but he couldn't solve the problem. He came to the conclusion that the problem wasn't my electrical at all. It was the dishwasher itself that went bad. However, he messed around with the breaker in the box and we disconnected the connection, reconnected it, and magically, a day after he left, the damn thing came back online again. I check it periodically.
I've been with American Home Shield for many years, and I'm gonna stay with them. The only downside is they keep raising the deductible. It used to be at about 50 bucks, then it went up to 100. Now, it's 125. It seems that every time I renew the plan, they add another $25 on to the copay. I get that it's just the cost of doing business in this day and age and inflation and people only renew the policy once a year. Still, I wish my pay scale would keep rate with inflation because I'm on a fixed income. I'm retired and on a pension.

I've had a good experience with American Home Shield. I like the security of knowing that if something breaks down, I can call and they'll come right out. The guy that recently came out from Quality Services was excellent. He was very informative and let me know every step of what he was doing and how long it was gonna take. He came for my washing machine and he couldn't fix it at first. He needed another part, so he ordered that, but that part wasn't what it was, so he ordered another part. Now my washing machine is working perfectly.

We had issues with our garage door opener. The drive system broke, so we called in a service order for that to be repaired. We filed the claim online and the website was very user-friendly and easy to navigate. We were notified who the service provider was gonna be within a couple hours after we submitted the service request, then we scheduled a time with the service provider, United Garage Doors, about four days later because we had to work a schedule that was convenient for us as well. The first time they came out was to assess what the issue was based on our service order. They diagnosed the problem and informed the American Home Shield that they needed to replace the garage door opener, then American Home Shield confirmed that it was covered under my warranty.
Once United Garage Doors got the approval, they went out and purchased a new garage door opener. They came back out about a week later, based on our schedule, and installed it. Overall, I would highly recommend American Home Shield based on their responsiveness. They're very accommodating and the contractors that they contract out are very professional. The value added for the money that we're paying for the coverage is definitely well worth it.

I love that I have American Home Shield. When something in my house breaks down, they come out immediately and repair it. I cannot afford to buy appliances. I can just call them. I had an issue the other day and the claims process went super fast. It was also easy to work with the contractor and the payment came out of American Home Shield's pocket. I would recommend people to get the home warranty.

I'm very happy with American Home Shield. When my heat wouldn't come on, I submitted a claim, and it went very smoothly. I called them one day, and the technician was out the following day.

We're happy with the service. American Home Shield fixes everything quickly, and we haven't had any problems. Recently, we did a service request for our stove. A lot of the knobs weren't working anymore. Some didn't turn, and the burners would just click and it wouldn't turn on. The technician came in, looked at it quickly and wrote up the paper, then he told us that he ordered the parts and they’d come back when it was ready. It’s all good now.

American Home Shield has been great. We used it to rekey all of our doors when we moved in and it was super fast. We also had an electrician through the home warranty.

American Home Shield uses outside services for the repairs, and that's cool with me as long as it gets done. When I first moved in this house, it was my HVAC that needed work, then about a month ago, the freezer on my refrigerator went out. American Home Shield told me that it would cost $85 for a guy to come out and do the refrigerator. I said, "Oh, that's fine," but when I called back after I got back from my Boise trip, they wanted $100 for the repair. Besides that, my guy that came here to do the repair was very nice, and now, the freezer is back up and running. Overall, I've been quite satisfied with American Home Shield. It's been good, and I hope they're available next year.

When there was no heat through our furnace, we went online and filled out the forms to identify the issues we were having and go through the categories. It was straightforward and I was provided with the information on what the company was and the time frame that they'd show up. It was a two-hour window because the repair company, Schramm, was able to squeeze us in and get us done the same day. My interactions with the repair guy were easygoing. He wasn't afraid to say what he was doing as he was testing parts on the furnace. We have a lot of things in common, so we talked about them and he told me what he was diagnosing and why. American Home Shield covers a decent amount of stuff, and I'd tell people go for it if it's one of their options, but they should also look at the deductible and what's covered. They should compare their options.

I called and used the automated system for filing claims with AHS. Generally, I'm not a fan of automated systems. But it was really good and very intuitive. I didn't have any questions and I never felt confused at one point. It was very straightforward and when it came to the payment part, it came back and told me to confirm the payment information they had on file. It couldn't have been any easier.
The tech was given a time when he would come out which was between 7:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening. That was a ridiculously long amount of time to have to be home. For this claim, it was sometime around late morning when I received a text from the technician and he said he had four stops ahead of me and that he wouldn't he here until about 3:00. So, he gave me an estimate. But then he also included in the text a link that says, "Click here if you want to track your service call," and that was cool. It said there were two stops were ahead of me, then it went up a stop.
So at the end of the day, I wasn't having to take off of work. But I appreciated not only his manual text to me to let me know, but then including the link where I could go in so that I could be prepared to keep an eye out for him. We have a driveway and a parking pad in front of the house. I assumed that he'd pull up in a truck or a van, and I wanted to make sure if any other family member came by, that they left one of the lanes wide open for him. So, it worked out really well. That Sears tech was also professional and very kind. He was efficient, too. And technicians aren't always.
On two other occasions I had American Home Shield show up, for our garbage disposal and for something else. The techs who came out were both lovely as well. So, hats off to American Home Shield for vetting out different companies. I know it's a crapshoot but they employ many technicians and you never know. But I've been very lucky and I've gotten some real genuine people to come to the house.

We had a backup in our master bathroom shower drain, so I went on to Americanhomeshield.com and logged into my account. The claim submission was extremely easy. It was just a couple clicks. I identified the issue then they had somebody dispatched on it. I was provided with the name of the company, the representative that would be out there, the timeframe they were gonna come out and their contact information. The repair company came out and unclogged the shower drain so we could get water flow down there. Now, everything's good.
American Home Shield is worth the cost because of the peace of mind that if anything goes out or if I have any issues, I can get my money back quick in terms of the service they provide versus what I pay monthly. The big thing is it also reduces uncertainty with things around the house, knowing that somebody will come out and fix the issue in a prompt manner. I've had two claims, one for an AC thing and another for a plumbing issue, and the experiences have been extremely professional. The process of submitting claims is very intuitive, and I've been impressed with how quick American Home Shield gets people out and dispatched on the issue.

The washer was making a very loud noise when it was washing and when it was rinsing and spinning. We called that number that you call when submitting a claim with AHS and the process was easy. They told us that the techs were coming out the next day and they did. They had been at our house once before to work on our dryer and this time, they called to make sure that whatever time span they gave us was going to be be okay. They really worked with us, because they had to get the part and it took them a little bit to put that part in, because they had to go under the washer. But when they first came out, they told us not to worry about washing because we would still be able to wash until they get the part. It'd just be loud.
When they brought the part back, we had an emergency health issue in our family and we were in Saint Louis. They said they were going to come back on Friday and we wanted them to come in the afternoon. We told them that the techs could come any time at two o'clock and after and they said they were going to come between 3:00 and 5:00. So I figured 2:00 was ok. We got home about 1:30 and the techs got there about 2:15 and fixed the washer.
When they said it was fixed, I asked how would we know if it was fixed because we needed to run it. They said it was running at the that moment, but we could not hear anything. And sure enough, when I looked in, it was spinning. They also told us that they didn't know if we knew when we had gotten it, but that washer had a guarantee for life. So they were really nice. The AHS warranty is pretty much worth it, but they can't always do as well as they did on the washer. Also, my mother-in-law does not have AHS, but we call the company that they use for a furnace or air conditioner problem because we are very satisfied with them, too.

The hinge that attaches to the garage door had broken. I called up AHS and it was easy to get a rep. Sometimes I think their system wants you to go online, in which I just stay on the phone until a representative comes on because I don't do that computer stuff. So, it wasn't hard. I called them on a Thursday and the techs were there the next day.
But I have had problems in the past with one AC person and I told AHS never to send him out to my home again because he was just looking to make money outside of the services of American Home Shield. This guy went up into my attic and the first thing he said was that I needed new ducts. So, I did a second opinion, which is what the American Home Shield does and if the second opinion person finds something totally different from the first person coming out, you don't have to repay that service fee. When the second person came out, which was their real professional person who was more of an expert than the first serviceperson that they sent out, he found something totally different and he fixed my AC with no problem with the ducts. He said my ducts were fine.
So, the first guy that came out was just looking for opportunity and he told me specifically that American Home Shield was not going to pay for these ducts. he also said that it was going to cost around $4,000. I was livid and he told me to think about it, then he gave me a business card and said to call him when I decide what I want to do. But I wasn't calling him back. AHS said they couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be out of the system or be up for a service. But I told them to put a note in the system. I also told them that when he went up in my attic, he left the door down and open, left my stairwell thing down, and didn't push it back up. He went outside to check the AC on the outside and left my slide door unlocked. So, for things that I couldn't see that he was repairing, I wouldn't be able to trust him.
I also had my AC breaker serviced and one guy said that he thought I had taken it apart. But I told him that I didn't take it apart. He said he was blaming me for taking that little wall thing off but I told him that I didn't tell him that I did that. So, AHs sent a second opinion person and all they did was flip a switch on the AC and it came back on. So, he was out trying to make extra money Sometimes I don't know if American Home Shield doesn't pay them what they feel that they need to have, so they're going to try to flip the switch on the customer and think that, especially being a female, maybe you're not knowledgeable enough to know better. But other than that, I only had two issues that I had to have two different second opinions on with American Home Shield. They always sent somebody out and I never had to pay an additional service fee. I also told my sister that they're a pretty good company.

I've been working with American Home Shield on different properties for a number of years. Occasionally, there are certain things that are not covered, but for the most part, they're good.

The refrigerator ice maker was freezing up and the tech took it apart, took all the ice out, which we had done too, but there was another part in there that he knew what to do and he got it unfrozen. He didn't have to really do anything and he didn't need any part. So, he did it right, then, he came back out. We've used American Home Shield for the last 30 years of houses we've owned and we always like it. It's interesting that it's gone up to $125 now every time that somebody comes out. But we've never had a problem. If we'd buy a house from somebody else and they'd give us another company, then the next year, we'd go right back to American Home Shield. So, it was easy process.
Now, we've got a microwave problem. The tech came, looked at it, and ordered the part. That has not come yet and it's been a couple of weeks.

The blower on the AC kept cutting on and off. I made a claim using the web page of AHS and it was not bad. I then got an email and a text from American Home Shield and from the repair people saying they had been assigned and they were coming out. The contractor I got was efficient. When the guy came out, he diagnosed it within 30 minutes or so, said what it was, then told me he was going to go off and try to find the part. Two days later, I was told that they got an opening and asked if they come out and fix my unit. I agreed and made sure it was covered by American Home Shield. They said yes and when the guy came out, he was done in less than an hour. He finished his work, verified that it worked, and went on his way.
In the past, my experience with AHs has been everything but this. They either drag their feet about whether or not it's covered or they say that it's covered, but there's minimal coverage. For example, my hot water heater went out and after a week, they told me they were only going to cover $200. I asked them to show me anywhere in America you could find that size water heater for 200 bucks, much less put it in. They gave me some story and I told them I was totally dissatisfied. They basically said take it or leave it, so I just took it, but I was not satisfied at all.
I would tell my friends to proceed with caution with AHS because it's hit or miss with them. My mother has a rental house in New Orleans and the tenants have been without AC for weeks at a time because American Home Shield and the people they sent out either misdiagnosed stuff or they didn't cover much or they didn't reply. So, she's had to compensate her tenants. Some people tell me, including some repair people not from AHS, that I'd be better off saving that money instead of paying for American Home Shield every month. And I've been trying to keep track of what stuff are covered and so far, I'm not convinced I'm going to keep the warranty.

I would submit my claims to AHS over the phone and it would take time to get somebody on the phone. Usually, I would be waiting for 15 minutes and sometimes, I would be pushing the wrong prompt. Also, I couldn't understand the language of the person I spoke to and I got the woman I had that problem with twice already. But otherwise, she did her job.
Recently, I had three issues. I was having trouble with the air conditioner, then I had something wrong with my tub, and I had something wrong with my washing machine. They said they could only do one of claim because the tech has to be from the same company. But the HVAC company wouldn't take care of the washer or bathtub. So, I would have to get the plumber for the bathtub and an appliance company for the washer. And if I would get all three done in one day, I would have to spend $375 because each time someone comes out from American Home Shield, it's $125.
I ended up doing my HVAC because I wanted to make sure I had heat for this winter time. The tech who came out was very nice and diagnoses it quickly. But he was not able to fix the issue and I'm still figuring out what to do. It has to do with pipes in the wall and the tech said that they couldn't touch the pipes in the wall. They said I had to put an appointment with my homeowner's association, so it was something that it was out of his hand. At some point in time, I will get that done with my HOA.

Currently, I'm very happy with the services that I've received from American Home Shield.

Another time, it was for a shredder. They also fixed it. Now, I got another appointment towards the end of this month for tuning up the heater. I'm sure that they will come and do it in a timely manner as well. Thus far, I know that if something serious happens, AHS will cover the whole cost. When they send their people for fixing, it's reasonable, especially for plumbing and electricity. When you call someone to your home to fix, it's open-ended but with them, you know that it's quite fixed.

My refrigerator wasn't getting cold. I loved the claim submission process. It was very easy and it didn't take long to get it done. For the most part, the companies that they contract with have been really good. The lady who came out with DeWitt's Appliance Repair was great. She replaced a compressor piece for me. With AHS, every service request that I have put in has been responded to in a very timely manner. If the issue isn't fixed, they have been really great when I let them know.

I'm happy with American Home Shield. The claim process was quick, fast, and easy. I had an inspection done by another company and they notified me there were some issues with my heater. A gentleman came to do the job and was very good. He changed the part that was required. There was some other issue but he didn't think that needed to be changed at this time. They were working fine.

I initially reached out to American Home Shield for my refrigerator that was leaking water, and they sent out another company to try and fix it. I hate that company. They did not get it fixed. They came out a few times and it was still leaking water. So I called American Home Shield back and I said, "Please, I do not wanna use this particular vendor anymore. I can't stand them. They're inept. Is there another company that you can bring out here to fix this fridge? I'm tired of it leaking water?" So the rep said, "Yes, we can. But we have to charge you another $75 service fee" which was annoying because the first people didn't fix it.
I just wanted to get my fridge fixed and I didn't wanna deal with those initial people they gave me. So I said, "Okay, fine. Whatever, I'll just pay the $75." The technician who came the second time was friendly. I had told him that the first people that came to fix it knew it was the water valve but it hadn't been resolved. So he looked and verified that it was the water valve. He ordered the part. He seemed knowledgeable.
I had AHS at the previous house I had, and our real estate agent had asked the seller to throw in a year's warranty when we bought the house. We said, "Oh, okay. Well, it looks like they'll fix anything." All we have to do is pay the little service fee and we won't get hit with really high charges. With the fridge, if I didn't have the warranty, they might have said, "Oh, it's gonna be $800 to fix it." "What, $800? I wasn't expecting that."
When we moved to this new house, having the home warranty gave us some assurance that all we had to do is pay the monthly fee and then the $75 service call, and then everything else should be covered under the warranty. So, it gave us peace of mind. A lot of the issues I've had have been around my refrigerator. American Home Shield insists on using a particular vendor that I can't stand. I've had other issues with the fridge before and they sent that particular vendor ou, and it's taken months for them to fix that separate issue with the fridge. I've been really put off by them keeping this particular vendor on their roster. If I end up having another issue with my refrigerator, I will ask specifically for a particular vendor in the future. I'm hoping I don't have any more fridge issues. But if I do, I'll tell them, "Please, don't send out the one you insist on sending out. No, I don't want that one. Please send out Whirlpool. Thank you very much."

The American Home Shield website is very friendly, easy to use, and navigate. My most recent claim to them was for my microwave and refrigerator. You can click appliance and they group them together so you know which ones you can put on the same claim. If you have the model number, you insert that too. If not, put you don't know it. I already have my information saved as far as the credit card. The process is fairly simple.
My tech from Acme was fantastic. He walked through the process. I like to know what's going on with the appliance. He actually showed me what he was doing and what had to be done. He was very knowledgeable about the appliance before he even started. After I described what the issue was, he pretty much knew what the problem was and fixed it in 45 minutes. He knew what he was doing and that made a big difference. He fixed the refrigerator that day.
The microwave, on the other hand, had to be replaced. I had a choice but they had already identified a model that was very similar to mine. You could go on the website and choose one from the website. Some of them will cost you nothing and some will be additional. You can choose the gift card for whatever value they determine that it is worth and go buy the appliance yourself or you can buy it and get reimbursed. That was pretty fast because I ordered a unit last week and it's coming today. This microwave has some more features than the one that I have. There was one that I could have upgraded to. The outside would have looked exactly like mine but it didn't even have as many features. The replacement this time is gonna be a little bit better than the one I currently have.

The sensor went bad on my air conditioner. I made a claim to American Home Shield online. The website was easy to use. I was told that the contractor had been assigned, and I was given the telephone number and the name of the company. The company took care of me. The issue calls to evacuate the system and evacuate the Freon, and they wanted a couple of dollars to fill the Freon back up. So, I told them that the sensor was fine. We're gonna leave it right there because that's too much money to spend to replace the Freon. American Home Shield, in my contract, only covers the first $10 of the Freon. So, I just told them we'll call that later. If we have a problem later, then I will have to spend the money but right now, I'm up and running.
With AHS, I like that I can make one phone call and I'm connected to a contractor that's going to do the job without calling all around. Plus, they cover the labor and parts. What I don't like is when I don't get the coverage that I pay for and because I've been with them for a while, I have had situations where I had to fight to get the coverage.

Recently, I submitted a claim to American Home Shield for a hot water heater. There was water on the floor. It was weird because there was a whole area that was standing in water. So, I called AHS and a really nice repairman came out. It had stopped leaking. So I thought, “Well, that's weird.” When the water was all on the floor, I did not check the hot water heater to try to find out where it was leaking from. He couldn't find the leak. The water had dried up. He did what he needed to do. There was nothing to do. Then a week later, it was really leaking. So, I called my son who works for a sprinkler system company. He said, "Sometimes if there are sediments in the bottom of a hot water heater, they can shift when the water's being heated," and that is what happened to mine.
It wasn't like it healed itself. It's just that they shifted and caused it not to leak again. But this time, it was really leaking. They came back out and saw the rust area and what was going on. So, they replaced the hot water heater. The AHS contractors were wonderful. They were very professional, very easy to talk to and they knew exactly what they were looking for. I paid extra to do some plumbing. Some of the pipes had to be replaced.
Having the AHS plan took a lot of worry away. I'm a widow and my daughter bought me the plan so it would take some of the stress off of me, and I'm planning on continuing it because it did. I have to make decisions now, and AHS really helped me. AHS was very beneficial to me because I didn't have to look through and call somebody to try to find out who should I call.

The contractors they hire don't seem to always be the best. The last contractor that came out was okay. But the times before that, I was not happy. When the contractor showed up to fix my heater, he said it would be about a week and a half till I could get the part. The contractor themselves sent me a separate bill before they even came back and fixed the unit, trying to say that I owed them $350 because they were gonna be making all these lines and doing all this stuff. I said, "Dude, no, you didn't. I have two invoices right here saying that you did none of that work." So the chick told me that she was gonna put a lien on my house. She can try, but I used to work warranty work. So I know how these companies work. I wrote a review on them and posted the two invoices. They never put a lien on my house. I never heard from them again. They were shoddy contractors.
Overall, American Home Shield is fine. They're fast and effective. I go online, I fill out my claim, and usually, within a couple of hours, I have a contractor calling me, telling me that this is when they can come through. All of my things have gotten fixed. More of my problems aren't with AHS, it was the contractor.

I used to be with Colonial and I found out there was a difference in the way they do things versus American Home Shield.

It would have been $700 for the repair but I ended up paying 2,000 some dollars out of pocket.
With American Home Shield, when the contractor came out to check the heat pump or the heat furnace, it was just for the services to make sure your filters were changed. I explained to the technician that I was having a problem with the thermostat and something kept tripping the relay box down the basement. He was honest and said that he was just here to do the service for the maintenance. But he told me that I could call back American Home Shield and they would send somebody out here to give an assessment or troubleshoot. So I did that and I paid another 125 fee.

I called the home warranty company and they sent out a contractor. He worked on the heater and found something that was wrong with it, fixed it, and set it to go on at 7 o'clock in the morning to 73 degrees. It went on at 6 o'clock in the morning at 83 degrees and I was not able to get it to change, so I called in again. The contractor told me what to do and I'll check it in the morning to see if that corrected the problem.

Our main toilet was clogged. As soon as I submitted the request for the plumber, I got the name of the plumbing company that was supposed to come. Their service was good. They were very helpful. They did their job and left. They were also polite. It's functioning fine now. This is our fourth year with AHS. They're usually very prompt. I don't have to wait. Every time we've called them, they've been very responsive. They're worth it.

They're very good with my heat and I never have a problem when they come to fix that. But I didn't have a good experience with my microwave. When the techs came to check it, they said it'll be a couple of weeks. But then they sent me an email later that week saying it would be almost three months. I called them saying I'm not waiting that long. I went for a replacement and that option only gave me up to $300 which cannot buy me anything like the microwave I had.
I had to go to the store with less money. It wasn't a good experience. Every time I use the microwave I got, I don't like it. Also, the techs don't come out anymore. They do an online app where I can just take a picture and scan which I don't like as well. Why am I paying them a $100 service fee when nobody knocks on my door to do anything. The ignition on my stove went out and they were gonna fix that. But then, the techs used the same thing again and asked if I could do my visual. I didn't like it. Also, the cost of AHS went up and I didn't get a notification about it. As soon as they fix my stove, I'm stopping.

I had two people come out, one for the garage door and one for the refrigerator. From the time that I put in for the request until the techs came out, it was a good experience. With the garage door, it would go up but it wouldn't come down. So the tech repaired that and he was very pleasant and respectful. For the refrigerator, it was leaking and the tech fixed the leak. He was a very nice young man. He also said that I needed it to be clean and I knew it had a lot of dust and other stuff. The price he gave me was $49 and it wasn't outrageous. So I paid him for that since that wasn't included with the coverage of American Home Shield. Everything has been working fine since the services. I like that with AHS, you know what you need to pay ahead of time and the deductible was affordable for me. Their customer service was also very good.

American Home Shield's website is user-friendly. I was able to log on and my information came up then I submitted the claim for my air conditioner that stopped working. The only thing that I would complain about is that it was Saturday night and the system assigned me to a vendor, but the vendor didn't call me. I had to call them. When I reached out though, the vendor was responsive, and they asked for my address and came the next day. The service was great. The drain was clogged and the tech unclogged it. He explained everything he was doing as well as gave me tips about how to change my filter. I've been in the house for five years, and every time I put the filter in, it was a struggle.

I had a leaking pipe and AHS set me up with a plumber who was incredibly responsive.

The people that they set me up with were top-notch. I was surprised at the fine-tune machine that the big plumbing company had and how accommodating they were when I had to have the water shut off.
I had another claim when my dishwasher was completely dead and AHS sent a dishwasher repairman out who was not able to fix my problem because it appeared to be an electrical problem. So I called an electrician for that one and I didn't put that into a claim. Other than that, AHS was very quick to respond and get a repairman in contact with me for my two claims. And both times, the repairmen were very professional. They came out right away and they came when they said they were coming.

I've had a good experience overall with American Home Shield. I've had about five or six different services. I had some lights done inside and out. I had someone here for my tub, some other appliances, my refrigerator, and the toilets. I had a guy come here in a timely manner who fixed my microwave. The service was good. He got the parts, came, looked at everything, took the part out, and walked me through everything. He told me what I needed and what was going on. He ordered the part right in front of me and then told me the estimated time that the part would come out.
The service company kept me updated as far as “Your part came in. We'll send your guy out during the schedule.” The next one, I got a text saying, “Your guy's on your way.” A few minutes after that, the tech guy called telling me what time he would be here. He got here, came on in, put it the part, tested everything, and made sure everything worked. He told me that if I had any other problems, I was to give them a call. He was really good.
Some other contractors I had are True Vine Appliance, DC Appliance, and Hopwood Electric. They were pretty good. There is also All American Light that I'm still waiting on.

I've made three claims with American Home Shield. One of them was a dishwasher claim that it had some hose leaks but it had caused significant damage. I had to replace the whole kitchen floor and they were not covering it. They don't cover the ancillary damage that the appliance caused, so I was unhappy with that. I thought that was included in the deal. I can't put the dishwasher back in until I have money to replace the kitchen floor. I've got the parts, but the appliance repairman said he would not reinstall it until the floor was installed correctly because if the floor is damaged, then he wouldn't put it back on top of the damaged floor.
The microwave claim went smoothly. I needed to get a microwave replaced. It was too old, so the parts were not available. What I thought was ironic was the only one that was comparable to the one that I had that they would offer for a free replacement was out of stock, so I had to buy one on my own and then they reimbursed me. So, was I 100% happy? No, because they could have replaced one for free, and this one wound up costing me out-of-pocket a little bit more than what they offered me because the one that they offered me for free was out of stock. They did reimburse me for that amount, but it still cost me more to get it myself. Then I had to get a cousin to come over and uninstall and reinstall the unit, and then I had to haul it away, whereas they would have taken care of the whole thing all at once as part of their deal if it had been available.
Then the third claim was for my kitchen sink that was leaking, and it turned out that it was not a pipe issue. The sink itself wasn't caulked so water was leaking from the countertop down underneath and that was where all the water was coming from. It wasn't coming from any of the pipes. That cost me $133, which was the fee plus tax to find out that I had to caulk my sink. So, it was a little frustrating.
They did give me a free furnace tune-up, which I was very happy about. It was great that I didn't have to pay for a furnace tune-up. So, I'm happy that they were here. The microwave wound up costing me 40 bucks out-of-pocket and some effort. It also cost me a filing fee of 130. So, it cost me about 170 to get a $450 dollar microwave. So, it was not too bad, and they will get the dishwasher repaired. They will take care of that and I just have to wait until I've got my handyman available after the first of the year to be able to do the floor at a rate that I can afford to.
All of the companies that AHS has sent out and the repair people they've sent out have been remarkable. I was very happy with the people they've sent. As far as the overall warranty, my big issue was that they don't pay for any additional damage that the appliance does. So, they paid to repair the dishwasher, but they're not paying to repair the floor, the problem the dishwasher caused. They claim that that is the responsibility of the home warranty policy, but when you're buying a home and it's in the first year, and the damage was caused by the prior owner, your insurance doesn't cover it. Also, the cost of the service seems high. The deductible is $125 plus tax. So, it's $135 a call. The deductible is higher than the value you get, because in a lot of cases, what I'm finding is the repair would be under that value, and I could have gone out and gotten somebody to do that repair at that price or less.
As far as customer service, I'm not speaking to people in the US most of the time. Other than that, their website is very easy to use. I would have thought that they would ask more questions about what the problem was before they came out. They only ask where the problem is. They don't provide a comment section for you to provide comments as to what the problem is. One of the issues I had with my dishwasher was that it started with the dishwasher and then I had the leak under the kitchen sink, and I called back to say, “I'm still leaking under the kitchen sink.” So, they sent the appliance guy back.
The appliance isn't even in there. He was a great guy. He helped me diagnose that part of my problem was my faucet was leaking. So, because he did that, I didn't file a claim with them to replace my faucet because they would replace it with the one that I had, which I didn't like when I moved in here, so I just bought a new faucet and my brother-in-law installed it for me. They sent back the appliance guy when I said there was a leak under my kitchen sink. That was kind of weird. Overall, I'm happy with the warranty still.

My garbage disposal was not working. I made a claim through the American Home Shield website and that was pretty easy. It was just a few clicks. I was given the name of the service company, the date, and the time that they would be coming. Someone came out, looked at the garbage disposal, and diagnosed that it was faulty and not working anymore. He changed it with a new one. The service was pretty solid and the unit is working well.
Having American Home Shield assures that someone would show up and fix stuff around the house. You don't have to be worried about stuff. Sometimes, this part and services could be pricey. Paying for the American Home Shield membership and only paying a minimal service fee is something that every homeowner should take advantage of. Go get this home warranty.

Last year, I had a water damage in my basement but American Home Shield did not take care of that properly because the contractor should have brought fans to dry the carpet. And because they didn't do that, I had mold in the basement and that cost me $6,000 to remove it. He just said I needed a new water heater, which I paid $3,000 to get a new one because it's not covered. And every month, 200 is deducted from my checking account. Now I have the drywall taken off, which would cost me another $10,000 to do the basement and put new carpet. If the guy that came to fix the water heater brought the fans to get it done, I wouldn't have had this $10,000 now. I am very disappointed with my experience in 2022.
Recently, something was broken and it made a noise when opening and closing the garage door. I called AHS and told them, and I paid my co-pay of $125. The person that came to fix the garage was very nice. He told me exactly what the problem was and fixed it right away. He did an excellent job. I was happy with the way he did his work.

Lately, every time my house has an issue, there's an issue with American Home Shield doing things. I had an issue with my tub and the water cut-off valve. The contractor came out and located the issue as related to the tub engine not working, and they fixed that. But when the Whirlpool engine shut off, the cold water shut off in the other bathroom. So I assumed that both of those were connected. Then they decided what was connected. But the plumber they sent over couldn't isolate what the point was.
When they finally isolated what the point was, they said it was not covered and it was gonna cost me $575. I got a friend of mine who works in the union as a plumber. I called him over and he said that they did not diagnose my problem right. He said, "All the stuff that they was gonna do, they was gonna cut your pipes or whatever, and all you needed was a shut-off valve. I got one in my car." He came to put the shut-off valve on it and charged us $75 and that was it.
I also had issues with American Home Shield with my microwave claim. They sent over three different companies to fix my microwave and the same thing happened. They didn't fix it properly. I called back American Home Shield to tell them that the same thing started happening again, and they said I was out of the 30-day warranty because they started counting the first day that the contractor came in. They didn't count all the time that it took for the three other companies to come and take a look at it.
In the past, American Home Shield would come out and take care of my issue and that's it. But it seemed they kind of gotten to be money-hungry and money-greedy now. I've never been behind on my payment and even to the point where they started the new stuff, where they kept upping the prices. It started off with $50 and now, it's $100. They also take the $100 out of your account before you even get what you're agreeing to. It's just a mess and I'm really thinking about dropping them altogether. It's not worth it now.
The technicians that they send out are pretty professional. But some of them kind of use American Home Shield as a side hustle. Some of them even try to work a deal out for you to sort of use them. When I had the air condition folks come in, the next thing I knew, I was getting hundreds of calls from them trying to get me to get a maintenance agreement with them.

I've had a decent experience. What I like about the warranty concept is I could just call somebody and have him come out to check my appliances. And the fact that they've been efficient and professional. So, I've been grateful. American Home Shield sent someone out a week or so ago to fix my oven. I couldn't get my oven to come back on.

The contractor that came out was great. They were helpful and very professional. Sometimes you're around certain people and they give a shady vibe, but I definitely did not get that from them. When the tech looked at the dryer, he said what was needed to fix it. He was honest and said, “I don't know, with how old it is, once they look for the part, if it'll be easier to do the part or just to get a new dryer. But they should let you know in a couple of days.” When we did the first selection of the new dryer, they left off a couple of features so I had to call and let them know. Then they updated it, and we picked it. So we're getting a dryer delivered soon. Overall, American Home Shield's service is fast and it takes the stress off of figuring out who and what whenever things go wrong.

I asked for them to come out one time and they took so long that I couldn't wait any longer. I had to fix the issue without their assistance. Also, sometimes, they hire companies that are disreputable. I had a situation where the door to my microwave was broken and it was covered. They hired somebody to come out and that company said to replace it. When the work order got back to the company, the head of the company in cooperation with American Home Shield said it was not covered and they refused to fix it. And if the provider doesn't come out timely, I would call and they would give me some bunch of baloney of why they couldn't change it to another provider. The delay was too much. I've had a couple of really bad experiences with them and there's no way to get through. They don't call back and they don't have supervisors on. There's really no effective way to discuss the issue with them. I'm over American Home Shield. The way they treat their customers is not acceptable.

I prefer talking to somebody, but it was convenient enough. Recently, I had evidence of a leak in the wall behind the refrigerator. A repairman came out and pulled the refrigerator out. Immediately, he noticed a drip coming from the valve. The valve body has several parts. One of the parts was not screwed down tight enough. It developed a leak. All it took to stop it was for him to tighten this top part down a little bit more. Then he double-checked to make sure there wasn't anything else related to the plumbing. He discovered a leak on the refrigerator, which was a separate issue. Plumbing stops at the valve. He couldn't even address tubing.

American Home Shield has been great. We had an issue with our pool pump. It took way too long for them to come up with a decision because the first contractor didn't like their bid. That was at the very beginning, and we were very skeptical then. We haven't had a lot, but we've had a few things that have been handled very quickly and to our satisfaction. AHS is easy to use. If you have an issue, you call. Our first issue didn't go well but it ended up getting fixed. It's nice having that peace of mind. Our son’s air conditioner went out recently, and it cost him $12,000. We were like, “You should have bought American Home Shield.”
Recently, we had a leak that was coming through. We noticed water coming through the ceiling in the hallway. My husband went up and checked it, and the heat exchanger was leaking. Smart Choice couldn't come until Monday because we called on a Friday. Had it been pouring through, we would have been a lot more assertive and said, “No. We need somebody quicker.” They were here first thing Monday and they fixed it. The leak did cause some ceiling damage.
The tech told us American Home Shield doesn't cover that. So, it stinks that if you have a leak that’s caused by the air conditioner and then it causes ceiling damage, it won't be covered. They fixed the leak, but then we had to pay for the ceiling damage ourselves, which was over 1,000 bucks. Luckily, the claim with the air conditioner is not that big of an area. It's not gonna be that big of an expense. Still, it seems like if you have a leak and it causes damage and it's all part of the same claim, I would recommend that somehow that damage would be covered. Overall, we're happy.

In the most recent claim, the contractor resolved some things and then told me the insurance wouldn’t cover some other things so I had to pay out of pocket for that one. Before that, I had a claim for the dryer and it took forever. The gas people were telling me there was nothing wrong with the line but the technician was saying it was the line and not the appliance. I had delays in some things and I had to go back and forth. But at the end of the day, it got resolved.

American Home Shield has been bad over the past eight years I've been with them. The first couple of years I had them was easier and a lot better than the past few years. Mainly, the contractors they have come out to do repairs are horrible. There have been multiple times where plumbers have come out and not fix the problem. The biggest issue I've had was that my roof had a leak in it and they contracted this roofing company to come out to fix it. I paid several thousand more dollars because this roofing company told me I needed to hold backside of my roof replaced. They replaced it but did a horrible job. None of the leaks were fixed. They stepped through my roof ruining my ceiling that they never came back to fix. Even getting ahold of American Home Shield to try to make it right wasn't good. The company just ditched and dashed and nowhere to be found ever again.
American Home Shield had other roofing companies come out since then to temporarily fix it, but they need to replace my whole roof. I'm still out several thousands of dollars because of them. They did nothing to take responsibility for these companies that come out and do horrible jobs. Some of these companies that they hire to come out are an hour and a half away. A few weeks ago, I had someone come out and fix my garage door. The guy gave me a lot of attitude because he had to drive an hour and a half out here. He said, “If they're not going to cover me to come out and drive back out an hour and a half back here, I'm not coming back to fix it.” But he came back and they fixed it.
My other garage door motor went out this past couple of weeks and someone came out. I live in Hartville, Ohio. He drove from Columbus. That's two hours away. I looked them up and they have several different locations throughout the United States so I felt okay using them. I had them put all brand-new ones on and paid my payment of $100 to have them come out. They gave me a good deal on a new garage door.
Since I moved, even though my phone number is linked to my account, I still can't request services online. This home that I live in does not come up on American Home Shield's website. I have to call in every single time. It's very difficult for me to schedule anything ‘cause I have to call and wait 15 minutes to schedule an appointment with someone. When I originally started with them, my co-pay was $70 for someone to come out. Now, it's 120. I was also paying $90 a month for the warranty. Now, it’s 140 a month for this coverage. I'm thinking hard if it's even worth it because they're not helpful at all. I'm going to cancel here very soon.

American Home Shield is not a good company. The latest thing that took me over the edge was the air conditioner. I live in Florida and this was back in July when we were having those 100 to 103 days. I called on a Friday to request service. They immediately responded and said that a repairman had been assigned and that he would contact me within 24 hours, which he did. But he explained to me that he couldn't get out to repair my air conditioner or look at it until the following Friday.
I called American Home Shield back and explained to them what the guy had said. I told them I'm a kidney and heart patient. I couldn't live in the house that long without any air conditioning. They found another contractor. The only thing was this guy said he couldn't come out until Thursday. I went looking for a repair of my own and found one. I told American Home Shield, “I've got a contractor who can come out today and repair my air conditioner.” They said, “He needs to be approved. He needs to give us a call and give us his diagnosis.” The guy said he was not gonna do that. I paid him to have the air condition repaired.
When I called to cancel the order, American Home Shield asked me if it had been repaired. I told them it was repaired but I paid for it and wanted the 100 bucks that they charged me. I threatened to quit with them at that time. They refunded my money and told me about how things would be better. Unfortunately, my air conditioner had another problem. A snake crawled up in there and shorted things out. I called American Home Shield again and it was the same thing. I decided to cancel them. They told me that I couldn't cancel that day. I had to cancel on the last day of the month. When I called back to cancel them, the first guy tried to convince me. He asked me what the problem was. He offered to refund my service fee. He said I could have two months free to get me to stay. Eventually, they cancelled the policy.
I would not recommend American Home Shield to anyone. The biggest problem with them is getting someone out in a timely manner. They're under the impression that as long as they've got a contractor assigned to the job, whether they repair it today or tomorrow or a week from now, they've done their part. Also, the people that you speak to are overseas. That was always a hassle because I had a hard time understanding what was being said.

The faucet broke in my kitchen. I submitted an online claim to American Home Shield. They just ask you for your name and they request information, and then you have an account established. They also assign you the contractor. Dave and Sons Plumbing was sent. They were average. They were supposed to replace my faucet with something comparable to what I had. I had a chrome colored faucet. The tech was like, “All I have is silver.” I said, “You don't have any other colors?” He only had one in his truck. My faucet broke, so I was in desperation. So, I just took whatever he had.
I would have preferred a black one. I said, “Can I have y'all come back out and put what I have, something with that color, ‘cause I like the chrome?” He said, “Well, I don't know when we'll be able to come out and do that.” So, I was at a loss. I was like, “Well, I need my faucet ‘cause it's broke. I need it done today.” They didn't have multiple colors in the truck. So, that was an inconvenience. I had to take whatever he had. That was the company's fault. That was nothing on American Home Shield, but they have different tiers at American Home Shield. It depends on the company that they send out, and you can't pick the company. They just assign you to somebody.
I've had AHS for years now. I switch it up to somebody different every now and then. I don't use them often, but it's nice to have the added coverage because you don't know when something's gonna break down. It's nice to have that convenience to pick up the phone and have somebody and come get it done within 48 hours. If I'm not satisfied with something, I'm gonna follow up with them, though. If I do have an issue, AHS typically resolves it. They'll find somebody else. I haven't had any major issues with American Home Shield. I was not happy with MaeDae's service. The technician was good.

I’ve had a contract with AHS for 3 years. I put a claim in because AC stopped working and garage door opener quit. They denied both claims. They charged me a $50 cancellation fee even though I was fully paid. They offered me $80 to replace my opener. STAY AWAY!

I requested service from American Home Shield for my dishwasher and stove, and the claims process went really well. We just did the deductible. I loved the contractor they sent out here. He was awesome. He had to come back because we were waiting on a part. They didn't have it in stock, but it was like a couple of days and then it was fixed. I love having AHS.

We had some parts of our refrigerator that needed to be repaired. The ice maker wasn't working at all anymore and we had issues with the door part falling apart. And a couple of trays in the fridge itself that were also falling apart. We submitted a claim with American Home Shield online as an appliance repair. But there was no good category for those other items. So, we had to make a note. We got a message saying that it was assigned to the appliance company. They called me and scheduled the next day. We did it in the evening and they called me the next morning and scheduled a time when they could come out. They were very accommodating and also very good at explaining things to me.
When they came out, the first thing he did was wrote down a bunch of model numbers, and knew they would have to order parts. So, they got the information back to AHS, and the people called back with the estimates of when the parts would be in and to let me know when possibly they could come out again. We went ahead and tentatively scheduled something. But what they need to do is the door closer hinge thing had to be replaced as well as the trays and the ice maker.
When they came back out, they had all the parts. However, the initial estimate when they were here and the next day when the company called and said, "We've requested the parts to be ordered and we expect three weeks," is what they told me, and they called me back and said that AHS tried to be as thrifty as economical as possible. So, they ordered all the parts and said it would be 8 to 10 weeks before the contractor could come back out because that's how long it would take to get the parts. It turned out it was not that long. It was about six weeks total. Everything works fine now. But read the fine print carefully because there's a lot that AHS' contract does not cover.

It wasn't good at the beginning because I have to keep going back and forth with American Home Shield. And they kept trying to get somebody to come out and look at something. The person already knew that they couldn't find a model number, but they kept sending someone else out there to do the same thing. So, the guy told AHS that they just had to do something else because they couldn't find one. So, AHS put it to me to go ahead on and purchase a microwave and they reimbursed me. The reimbursement came quick because I sent AHS the invoice for what I purchased. I pay the monthly and they still charge me a fee for someone to come out. So, I'm getting ready to get rid of AHS because it doesn't make sense to go through what I did.

When I tried to turn on my heater, the air conditioning would come on instead of the heater. I went online to submit a claim to American Home Shield. They gave me the name of the company and a window of time that someone would be here. A tech came out and looked at it. What also happened was I got a new thermostat, and whoever put it in there didn't wire it correctly. The tech just had to rewire the thermostat so that the heater would come on or the furnace would come on. He is a lovely person. He's a very nice guy. I’ve always liked the second time he's come out to my house. He's very informative. He tells me exactly what's going on and what he has to do. He's prompt. He's always on time. He tries to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Everything is performing well. Having AHS, somebody reliable will come out and check and repair the equipment.

I signed up for a middle of the road plan with them. About 6 months later my monthly payment increased with no email and no phone call. They just decided it was time. One customer service agent stated the reason was that this is an increase everyone sees due to inflation. Another said it was so they could pay the technicians. I really think it's because they need to make money on their newer customers now.

Gardner's Plumbing came out and fixed our toilet recently. The toilet wasn't flushing correctly. They couldn't replace the part, so they replaced the whole commode. I like that AHS gets qualified service people to come out and do the work. And if they can't fix it, they'll replace it. I would recommend AHS.

The rep of AHS was very good. She followed up and had good communication. Told us who would be calling, the name of the company and about what time we would hear from them. The techs were excellent. They had to replace the pump. The AHS rep said to take pictures of what was broken and send it. I sent those pictures to her. She sent them to the contractors and found someone who could have it. They brought it with them. It was really easy and efficient. I like the wide safety net that AHS provides. There are a lot of things that fall under it. I didn't know that our swimming pool could, so I was surprised at that. It covers the heater. We've used it three times in the last year.

When I submitted a claim with AHS, it was easy. The techs that came out were good. They called to make sure it was okay to do everything that was done. They waited and then they fixed it once they got the go-ahead from AHS. Everything's working fine now. I like AHS and I like that AHS covers most of everything, from a small job that can grow into something big.

The thermostat of our AC downstairs wasn't working properly. We figured out it was the AC unit outside. But it was a quick fix. The tech came in right away the next day, first thing in the morning as soon as I checked with him, and he was in and out. He was great. The customer service of AHS was great, too. They also have a good price.

The customer service of AHS was fine. However, for my recent claim, everything has not been taken care of yet. When the tech left here, he took care of one of the issues. But he said that he had to order a special part. Maybe the part hasn't come in yet. We also don't like the fact that we pay a monthly fee and then whenever someone comes out, you have to still pay something. But that's okay too because of the fact that 9 times out of 10, we still don't end up coming out of pocket once it's taken care of.

One claim that was good was when American Home Shield had a technician out at a reasonable time for an issue with the water heater that was busted and the problem was resolved. The bad one is when it took them a long time for a person to come out and then they said that part wasn't covered or that someone else had damaged the item. And this was with an air conditioning.

When I was trying to get my tankless water heater serviced, I didn't get a good result from it. So, I was disappointed. I wasn't getting any hot water. So, the person that American Home Shield sent out told me something I needed to get it serviced. I said, "Service? I had already had got it all serviced before, but he didn't resolve the problem." He didn't give me the proper feedback that I needed from him. So, I had to go to somebody else and spend money out of my pocket because I thought AHS would do it. But I'm still paying the money for my monthly bill.

My experience with American Home Shield didn't start very positive but once they got it straightened out, it was a good experience. I signed up for a contract and when they did it, they put in the incorrect monthly amount. So I called them back to let them know it was the incorrect contract. They had to cancel that and they couldn't get the price right. Somebody was super rude in the customer service department. But somebody reached out and apologized for that experience and said that they would give me a coupon. I didn't care for the coupon and asked to do some training. And it never happened again. So, something must've worked.
My washer was not turning on and the contractor called me. There was an app I needed to download on my phone and the tech figured it out in three seconds. They ordered the part and within three days, the washer was fixed. I was super surprised. I was thinking how they were gonna diagnose through a phone but they did it. Plus, the tech was very professional.

American Home Shield did and covered what they were supposed to. I was okay with it as long as they paid the claim. They're very competent. The most recent claim was the air conditioner that stopped cooling. I filed the claim over the automated system. It worked. Also, the tech was a very nice, knowledgeable gentleman, and he explained what he was doing. I liked his knowledge of the product line and what to do about it because it conked out a second time a week later. He came again and fixed it. AHS didn't charge me for the second trip. The process went very well.

I set up a date when Master Tech Appliance could come out because they couldn't come out that same day and it was four days later. They had to order parts and it took about four days for the part to come in. They came out the following Monday and fixed the appliance. So, it took about a week and a half to get everything taken care of. They did a good job. But it seems like none of these companies have the parts on their truck and once they say what the problem is, it goes back to American Home Shield, who approves it.
AHS uses small companies and if your refrigerator is gone, then you're out of the refrigerator for a week and a half. It’s the same with your stove. They do a good job but the response time needs to be improved. Ever since I used American Home Shield, I know in advance if something breaks down, it's gonna be a two-week timeframe. I told the people I could go down there and pick up the product in about three hours or I could get it shipped overnight. So, if I could do that, the contractor should be able to as well. They said that’s not the way they work. And when I called the company that had the part, they said I was gonna have it at my doorstep the next day.
I had a hot water tank problem, I called American Home Shield in advance and they said they were gonna get somebody to look. I called the company and they said I could pick up a brand-new hot water tank because it was under warranty. And when I called the company, I told them the hot water tank was here and to bring the tech out. He came out and had to verify the hot water tank was bad, and then he had to wait another week. He said we still gotta go with the process. So, I had to schedule another appointment a week later and that didn't make any sense.
If you call a company to work on something, it's gonna cost you $600 for their labor and the time that they came out. So, AHS is a good idea, especially if you don't have warranties on all your appliances in advance. And you can go to their site. The company that worked on the stove just had the guy and his son working. They came out on a Tuesday and he said they would have the part by Thursday and would be back Monday to put it in. So, that was the quickest.
I usually make the claim on the phone because, on the website, it depends on when they're gonna look at it. I have American Home Shield for my son's place too and I've recommended a couple of different people and they used it too. I told them AHS is good if they need products done. But if they want it done right away, they gotta call a company and it might cost $600. So, they can decide on that. AHS pays for itself but if you need it bad enough, it won't because if it's your air condition and it's 100 degrees out, and they won't be there for two weeks, then you're screwed.

The garage door wouldn't go up and down right. You had to have the button or it wouldn't work. I called and talked to American Home Shield, and they sent the Ace's guy out. He was good. He fixed it right off and left. AHS also had a guy come and fix my stove. It's somewhat fixed but the oven still doesn't work quite right. It takes us 40 minutes to get the oven to warm up to 375. If you're a cook, that's an awful long time to wait to get something up to a baking temperature.

Surfside came out for the dishwasher. It wasn't starting and then the hot water coming in wasn't enough. I called American Home Shield. The next business day, they called me and set up a time appointment. The tech was very knowledgeable. He found something else that I didn't. He was a good technician. He said, "I'm gonna go ahead and get the parts for this. And when I come back, it won't take long to put it together." So far, I don't have a problem. I recommend AHS to my family and friends when we gather together. Having AHS is very convenient. The price went up. Almost every year, it will change but I understand with the economy.

Get American Home Shield if you don't have it. It’s peace of mind. They have done a lot over 15 years like the boiler, water heater, plumbing, electric., and appliances, like a dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, and oven. I would call, get online, and tell them what I need fixed. They would send somebody. And they would tell me what I need. They tell them what they need to do, and they do it. Two people just came to do my steam boiler, and were excellent people. AHS has a limit on certain things. Like air conditioning, HVAC, 5,000. On a steam boiler, it’s 1,500. I deal with it. But the other things, they cover everything in full. They covered $1,700 worth of work on my pool for $75.
