    We were having problems with our dryer. It worked, but it wasn't heating, so our clothes weren't getting dry. I had done everything that I could to try and check it and see what the problem was but couldn't figure it out, so I filed a service request with American Home Shield. Then, the tech called to let me know when he was on his way and about what time to expect him so that I wasn't waiting around all day long. He gave me a timeframe, then called me with a very specific time, so I had a better understanding of what to do. And when he got here, he walked me through everything that he was doing so that I knew what was happening. He was able to go through everything, then he was had the replacement part in his truck and was able to replace it for us. So we didn't have to wait around for a part to be ordered as it was replaced immediately. Since then, the dryer has been working great.

    American Home Shield has been been doing really well every time we have an issue. They have great coverage and have a very quick response to everything.

    Their sales team was very clear what all the different options were and the warranty is very affordable. Also, I submit my claims online and their website works fine. I recently got the app, but I haven't submitted a claim through that yet. Their online tools are very simple to use and overall, I would definitely recommend them.

    The warranty is worth it for things that your regular homeowner's insurance isn't going to cover. And for us specifically, we got the home warranty because we were purchasing a house and a lot of the appliances were older, and we don't know how these are going to function and work for us. We needed to make sure that these things can be covered because we were not going to be able to afford that kind of price out-of-pocket all the time. So for anything that's a little bit older, I would definitely recommend having AHS. And even if it is newer, it's still nice to have it just in case so that you're not solely responsible for everything,

    When I first submitted the claim with American Home Shield, there was some confusion because I had the contractor telling me one thing, and a customer service rep from American Home Shield telling me something else. He was telling me that I needed to empty my refrigerator out and unplug it for four days. But that was not what the tech told me. And it was the holidays, so I told the AHS rep that I couldn't do that. I only have one refrigerator. In the end, the tech called and told me to turn off and empty my refrigerator two days before they came out. I agreed because at the time, the temperatures have dropped, so I could put my food on the deck. But there was a lot of back and forth with that.

    Other than that, the gentleman from Universal One Repair who came out to fix the refrigerator was very nice. I was under the impression that the heating unit needed to be changed and that they were going to change the main computer, but he only changed the main computer. He just told me what to do and said that once a year, I should try to defrost. He said I just unplug it and let it sit. Because ice does build up on the heating unit and I never knew that. I even gave him a little tip.

    Then, my water didn't work. So I tried to call Universal back to try to let them know that my refrigerator was not completely working. I needed somebody to come out but they never returned my call. I sent them the message through the text that we were communicating through and they never responded. So, I texted American Home Shield through their text messages but I never heard from American Home Shield. Then, Christmas came around and everybody didn't have the same hours, so I called American Home Shield and left a message on their voicemail. I was told I'd get a call back in 24 hours but I never got a call back, so I went through the chat because at this point we were rounding up New Year's. I was paying $50 for water filters and I had to go buy water for the house.

    They finally set up an appointment to come out and look at my refrigerator. This time, they didn't give me any instructions, so I didn't empty my refrigerator out. Because I had already done it two or three times. The tech said that he thought it was my water line, and I told him that I cut my water on and off so many times, I didn't know which way was on and which way was off. Plus, I couldn't go up and down my steps because I injured my knee at work. I told him that I didn't think the previous tech plugged everything in when he changed the computer and asked him to check that. He said sure, then lo and behold, there was a missing thing. It was hidden in between the wires that didn't get plugged in.

    So American Home Shield reimbursed me my fee originally, because Universal canceled at the time that I was waiting for the first appointment. If it wasn't for the gentleman that came back out and figured out what was wrong, I was going to cancel American Home Shield. I also offered to give him a tip and he wouldn't take it. Still, the customer service from American Home Shield and Universal was not easy to navigate. But I didn't want to take it out on anybody because it was a mistake.

    Other than that, I had American Home Shield for a year then I thought it expired. But I realized it automatically renewed, so I set up my claim. The chat part is okay, because that was the only way I could really reach out to somebody to get help. I understand the policy and the procedures. I also understand people out here do try to con the system. Overall, I would recommend them.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We apologize for the confusion regarding the instructions for your refrigerator and any resulting inconvenience during the holidays. We’re glad to hear that once the technician arrived, they were able to work through the issues to meet your needs effectively. However, the lack of communication with Universal One Repair and the difficulties in contacting our customer service are certainly not the standards we aim for.

    Your persistence in resolving the issue is appreciated, and we're committed to examining the areas where our service fell short. The confusion about coverage and procedures should never be a struggle.

    While there were challenges, we're pleased that the final information regarding your appliance was insightful and that compensation was made considering the service complications experienced. Your recommendation, despite the hurdles faced, signifies significant valuable insights. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s more we can do to enhance your experience. Thank you for being candid about your challenges as we aim to make our service reliable and customer-friendly.

    My refrigerator was freezing up in the walls and in the sides. I submitted a claim with American Home Shield and they sent the techs out. They said that they needed to put some Freon in it and they did that. But then that didn't work. So, they came out and said it needed to be replaced. The day the guys came out, they replaced it and they did an awesome job.

    I like that the timeframe doesn't take long with American Home Shield. As long as I pay my $100, they get somebody out with repair within a couple of days. For my recent claim, I made the request during the holiday. So, I knew that it might be a couple of extra days, but I was okay with that. I also suggested to people that American Home Shield is worth the money. I pay about $99 a month and I got a new refrigerator, which could cost $2,000. So, money spent for the service balances out with what you receive when you file a claim.

    American Home Shield's website was talking about an upgrade to your HVAC system. I maintained my system as much as possible. It is old. So I put a claim in for it, and then Ronnie Jones Air Conditioning came out and they did some measurements to see, and then they gave me a quote on a new system. I pay 40 bucks a month and they said I'd get a discount on a new HVAC system. But $15,000 for a new HVAC system doesn't seem like a huge discount from what I'm seeing. As far as the claim submission, I did it through the site. The process was self-explanatory and it's just push a button. The contractor who came out told me he needed to see where everything was, and then talked to me about, if they do go with the contract, there's stuff I have to move in the house. He was very professional and courteous.

    I had a dishwasher, a dryer, and a washing machine that needed to be repaired. I placed a claim online and then American Home Shield sent out the contractor the next week. The tech said that there was nothing they could do. He didn't really look at anything. He opened the dishwasher, said that, “Oh, it still heats. It's fine. He said that the washing machine wasn't something he could fix and the dryer wasn't either, so he was there for about 15 minutes and left. Then we got a bunch of denial letters in the mail. American Home Shield offered a second opinion. The second opinion guy never showed up, and sent me a receipt, said the work was completed and it was not. American Home Shield has customer service representatives that will promise you the moon and then they don't deliver. I would not recommend the company.

    Sometimes I call on the phone or go to American Home Shield's website. I have good success on both. The refrigerator that the tech looked at is an ongoing thing. In less than five minutes, he was out. It didn't take him a minute to figure out that a manual temperature stick was stuck at the back of the refrigerator that caused the freezing inside the refrigerator. He has been here before when we called him for the freezer part that froze and would not let us get water from the filter. He came in, looked at it, took it out. The fridge is functions perfectly as it should. We do not get our vegetables crunchy frozen. We were scared of putting anything in the fridge for fear of freezing overnight. It would be great if we can have expedited services.

    Paying for someone to just look at it and charge me to say, "I'm diagnosing what is wrong with the fridge," when I know and that's why I called makes me think why other people would apply that amount of money into the service cost. It makes me feel like I'm paying double. I pay maintenance fees to retain Home Shield. And someone comes and bills me for coming up just to find out what is wrong when I've already told them what is wrong. Charging me for that is too much. But I like that instead of having to buy a new appliance, someone can come up, look at it and fix it, which saves me a bit of money for someone who has limited income.

    I recommend American Home Shield for the fact that if a hot water heater, the refrigerator, or an air conditioner went out, you are doomed. I've had a few things done, and I've never had a problem with AHS. I count on them for most of my repairs. They've done dishwashers, refrigerators, air conditioners. As long as they answer the phone when I call, and they usually have someone 24 hours a day, that usually gets it done within a 48-hour window. Sometimes, it could stretch out to a week, like for air conditioning repairman, but they needed a part for my compressor.

    I got two houses and both of them are AHS, and both of them had air conditioner problems. When my daughters call from one home, I call AHS so I don't have to be there to fix it. AHS replaced a refrigerator in Pensacola for me because they couldn't get the parts for it to fix it. That was fair coverage, so I got a nice new refrigerator. They replaced the compressor on the one here although it took almost two weeks to get the compressor.

    I got AHS in my speed dial. I call them. They ask me a few questions, and they text me back who's coming and what day. There was one time that took almost two weeks to get a claim completed, but that was on an older air conditioner in a high rise in Pensacola. The refrigerators took a while because they had to get the compressor, so they sent the compressor to the factory because it was still under a warranty in the factory. It had to go through a process and I had to stay on both AHS and the factory to get them to transfer the part to AHS’s representative.

    The last thing I had was the dryer here. The tech came over and very courteous. He was there within 48 hours if not quicker. It was fixed. I appreciate that he had a lot of work to do, but he got it done. The dishwasher was done a couple of months before that. The contractor come out and replaced the pump. I thought I had another problem with the water dispenser in the refrigerator but I managed to get it back and it's working now. They're my backup. I don't have to be here. I don't have to be where my kids are. I can remote it. The cost versus the insurance peace of mind is good. I've continued my relationship for 8 years, they take care of it, and so I’m grateful for that. A lot of times, I have to go out in the market to find things and I can get it done quicker, but it will also be a lot more expensive.

    American Home Shield sent out David's Appliance Service for an appliance repair. The experience was adequate, but it took them a very long time to come out. It was a very long response time. Then once they had the diagnosis, it was a very long time for them to get parts or get back with us. It took longer than three weeks for the repair to be completed. I tried to call for a follow-up and said, “Hey. Have you forgot about it? What's going on?” Supposedly, their voice mailbox is full and we were unable to reach them. So, it was not the best.

    I sent in a claim online for a plumbing issue and everything was solved, but it was over a span of three weeks. Initially, I reached out to American Home Shield and then someone came out and identified how to fix the problem. It was assigned to a contractor the day that they were supposed to come out passed, and then for two weeks I had to go back and forth with American Home Shield because they refused to reassign it to a new contractor until they made contact with the one that they assigned it to, but he ended up going out of business, so there was no one to talk to. The first time we ever tried using American Home Shield for our water heater that needed to be replaced, they didn't contact us. We ended up paying out-of-pocket for it, and then we had this occurrence, so we're planning on canceling it once our contract's over. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    I had a plumbing issue, and the claim process was very long and tedious with American Home Shield when I ask for a few different vendors, so I can look it up and make sure that they were gonna offer a great service. They had a good star rating. They said that was the only one that they had available. So, that was issue number one. Issue number two was when the person came out, the individual that came out didn't even look at anything. He had a little leather jacket on. They're doing plumbing. So, it looked like he didn't wanna get dirty, and he said, "I'm not gonna be able to fix anything. I'm gonna have to let them know." I said, "What do you mean it can't be fixed? You didn't even look at it. Are you gonna pull anything out? This doesn't make any sense." He was like, "Look, I've been doing this a long time. I could just look at this and tell."

    He did absolutely nothing. The good thing is they said they're coming back tomorrow, and they said that he's fired. That's what I was told. They were like, "There's been several complaints from the individuals." But what was disturbing to me, as always, with American Home Shield, is when something goes wrong, it is so difficult to have somebody follow up. It's like I have to hear from the place. There's no one that understands what's going on here. It's something very different when it's in Thailand or at Costa Rica. So, I tried multiple times to say, "Hey, we need to have somebody back. The person didn't even look at it." "Oh, well, we can't do that. Thank goodness, their manager at United Air Temp is the one who called back because they said, "We're following up on all of the jobs he had."

    Now, I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring because someone's coming out tomorrow, but American Home Shield was really bad. They would have had me just keep going around and around as well when we're sitting here frustrated. I've had them almost a year, but I had them before, and I've come back to them. So, it was a long time ago, and I felt like the service was a little better. People need to know if they're thinking about it, that they cannot reach someone in the US. There is no US representative. That is very frustrating. You get the runaround all day, and people are reading a script. Things may be very different in another country. So, when you're trying to explain something, they go right back to reading a script. There's no one that you could speak to that works directly at American Home Shield here that you can take it further or escalate it. When you need to escalate something, that is a nightmare.

    I didn't have any heat. My house was cold. I called American Home Shield. I spoke to a live person and everything was good. It was all the other things that happened afterwards that were not good. First of all, they said that these people would contact me within 24 to 48 hours. They didn't call me in that timeframe. The technician that came out was cool, but dealing with all of this other stuff, they lied. The technician assessed that I needed a new blower. They told me that the blower was gonna be here on the 18th. That was a Saturday. Then they scheduled an appointment on the 19th, which was a holiday. They didn't show up. Nobody called. They called me Friday before the 19th to say that they were gonna be here between 3:00 and 8:00 PM. So, I was sitting up here waiting. Nobody gave me a call. Nobody said, "Oh, we made a mistake, and we booked this appointment on the day we're gonna be closed."

    When I looked up the company's rating, they are 1.5. I really don't wanna deal with a 1.5. I've been cold since December when I first called this thing in. It's almost 11 days? It'll be another month. I'm paying Home Shield annually, and I've been doing this for years. This is the worst. American Home Shield did not use to be like this. When I used to call, the people used to call me within that 48-hour window. They came out and did their job. Now, when I call, I might not see anybody for weeks. They don't call you back when they say they will. I have to call them for updates.

    Home Shield advertised that if they don't fix it, they pay for it or replace it. They're not replacing it. I gotta pay for all the couplets. All they're gonna do is put the outside unit and the inside unit in. I'll pay for everything else. I could not recommend American Home Shield. I'm paying, and I'm getting no service. Half the people that I talk to, I can't understand what they're saying. I have to ask them to repeat and spell the word out that they're pronouncing.

    American Home Shield sent Circa Service for a plumbing issue. Some guy came out and parked in front of my house and sat on his phone blocking traffic for 15 minutes. He finally got out because we approached him and asked who he was. He came in and took a look at the issue that I was having and snapped some pictures on his phone. And then because of the location of my commode, he walked around to the kitchen, made me move my own stove, cut a hole in my wall, took some more pictures, and then said that he was not gonna do anything to repair the leak in that particular pipe, and then left. He was there for about 25 minutes.

    I reached out to American Home Shield's customer service. The gentleman that I spoke to referred me to a different plumber who I have reached out to. Because I have this kind of baby sounding voice, I also asked my mom to reach out. We've gotten no contact back from them either. So, there's been no resolution to that particular claim. I have a $100 hole in my kitchen wall and no resolution to the leaking pipe. I have to turn the water on and off every time I'd like to use that appliance.

    I have fired American Home Shield before. And after this lease is up with them, I intend to fire them again. The last time I had this home warranty company and did not renew with them, they said, "Why would you not renew? We've resolved all three of your claims." I said, "Yeah. But you resolved two of them by denying them outright." They didn't have any reply to that because that was 100% what happened. I would strongly discourage getting the warranty.

    I have a renter in my house who contacted me and said that the dryer wasn't working. So, I called American Home Shield who then set up an appointment with Appliance Solutions. They came out and repaired the dryer. My biggest problem is I have two furnaces in my house. My house is a 1929, so it has radiant heat upstairs that requires a gas boiler, and then the downstairs has gas forced-air. I had a situation happened and had an appointment for service. They canceled my appointment for service to fix the heater. I didn't care for how it happened. They use very specific people to do stuff, and I couldn't just call and say, "I need this fixed, not just a cleaning or whatever. I need it fixed." I had to go back through AHS and call them. But for the most part, they've been very good about fixing everything that's gone awry.

    I have had American Home Shield since I purchased the house in 2020. I did not want to be looking at huge repair bills for anything that went wrong. It was a better solution for me to have a home insurance where I would pay a set amount and they would fix the problem. Mostly, I've been very satisfied with AHS. I would highly recommend it on houses that are like mine that have older appliances. You may or may not have the ability to fork over thousands of dollars all at once to pay for a new stove or a new refrigerator. I'm very fortunate. My dryer alone is 40 years old and they're still fixing it.

    American Home Shield sent Macklin Plumbing and although they fixed the issue, they were not great. The plumbers left and water was leaking for three days. It was hard to contact them through the phone number they provided, and I had to reach out to American Home Shield multiple times. The customer service reps tried to contact the plumbing company but they just kept saying they’d come tomorrow. The issue was the faucet, not the water leakage itself and in the end, they fixed it. But the problem was the experience. The first visit was on a Saturday and I understand that the plumbing guys couldn’t stay all day on a weekend. They spent about 1.5 hours and then left to get a valve, and left the water leaking. It was a lot of water, which was almost like a shower.

    I’ve had American Home Shield since August of last year, and this was my second claim. From the time I submitted the claim to the first visit, it was quick. Overall, it took about a week to get everything done. But when the plumbing guys replaced the valve, they made a hole in the drywall. The warranty with AHS only covers the drywall repair, not the painting. I’ve asked multiple times about this because repairing should restore things to their original state. I escalated to the manager, who repeated that the painting isn’t covered. I also asked the manager to escalate this to the highest level, because the policy should include painting after repairs.

    Submitting the claim for my furnace was easy enough and speaking with the representative was fine. But getting everything done was a problem. The contractor came out right away and did his work well. The only issue was that he needed the hot water heater moved to have room to install the new furnace, and American Home Shield said they wouldn’t cover that. That irritated me because I’ve paid into this for over 20 years and haven’t made many claims. When I asked why it wasn’t covered, they said it’s not in the policy, which I’m not happy about because it’s just part of the nature of the job. I’m seriously considering looking at another company.

    We had to put a new float switch in our septic system so the sprinkler systems would come on. It separates the solids from the liquids, and it sprays the liquids out to fertilize the grass. I went online to submit the claim to American Home Shield and we thought we needed a plumber. So, they came out first and they said it was an electrical issue. The guy had me do the electrical switches from inside but he stayed outside. He just said it wasn't something he could do and then he left. He said they would have somebody else contact us to come out, but we never heard from him again. I called to follow up, and the representative told me that sending someone else out wasn’t something they did. I asked why we weren’t informed earlier, since we’d been waiting almost a month and our septic was filling up and we needed this taken care of.

    We paid 125 for the service fee and the plumbers didn’t do anything. We did another claim for the electrician to come out, and they were the ones who fixed it. They were very good and I was very pleased with the service. When we purchased the warranty from American Home Shield, we were told it would cover everything from the roof to the ground. But it turns out it doesn’t. It’s like car or homeowners' insurance. If a tree falls and hits your shed, it’s not covered unless you have an umbrella policy. We were never told about an umbrella policy for electrical work or the septic system. We paid All Phase Service Company in cash because they told us that what we had done wasn't covered under the warranty. People should do their research, read the fine print in the paperwork and make sure it covers what they need for their home.

I submit claims online but also call to ensure coverage, and the reps have been helpful. The online process is fine. I’ve been working on the computer for 40 years so it’s nothing new to me. One thing that’s rubbing me the wrong way is the installation fee for items like the water heater, which seemed high at $500, despite the water tank being covered.

    I would still recommend American Home Shield to a friend. I've been with them for about 20 years and they have saved me a lot of money.

    They are tricking you to think you’re getting another company then it comes to them with a lot of false advertising on Facebook. They will give you a low cost but will raise it up later. They don’t tell you there is a $$100 payment each time they come out. If they feel it’s not code compliance they won’t do it so there are many hidden exemptions. It’s not a little company. When I called to inquire about it the first time I was hung up on in a slick way. They didn’t allow me to even ask a question so I called back to them back. They said it wasn’t them but when I called back I got them the real company because the number is in my phone because I already gave service with them. They are not the best bet. The better of two evils. They then want me to call the sales department. Running me around like I’m not gonna call them. Then they said it is for the new basic customer.

    They tried throw the covers over my head. Each time I brought things up he tried to redirect my question. I let them know I was putting it out on the other platforms for people to see. He now says He’s gonna escalate it. I had a leak in my plumbing and had a new shower installed. The contractor was used by my Insurance company said they were verified contractor. Well over 20 Years later I got a leak and they came out but I had to pay $100 dollars. They checked it and said it was not up to code and I ended up paying over $900 dollars plus the $100 dollars to them for an outside company to do it for a better rate than the people they use cost me. They also use a lot of shady people for their repairs. I dealt with that on several occasions. If it sounds too good to be true it is.

    Proline Appliance came out to get a dishwasher going, and they were able to take care of it in a timely manner. However, it took an ungodly amount of time for American Home Shield to send out Proline. There was a weekend and a holiday involved. However, a day without a dishwasher is a day without a dishwasher. While there was a little bit of understanding, I was totally unimpressed with American Home Shield's reaction time. This is the second time that I've had to use them, and neither time was really what I would call a fantastic experience. I had a water heater go out a couple of years ago and it was the same thing. The guy who worked on it was a clean-cut kid who knew what he was doing. But to get to him was like walking through glass. It was tough.

    The value of the service is awful and as for the price, I'd always like it cheaper. Also, I didn't know online was an option to file a claim. I thought the only way was over the phone. I could not understand the people, and the people had a hard time understanding me. It was gruesome. The other side of me just hopes that I don't have to use American Home Shield anymore.

    1 star. Extremely disappointed with American Home Shield. My HVAC unit needs to be fully replaced, and while the warranty coverage was advertised as up to $5,000, they are only willing to pay $2,500. The total replacement cost is well over $8,000, leaving me with a massive out-of-pocket expense that defeats the purpose of having a home warranty in the first place. To make matters worse, when I asked to escalate the issue and speak with someone higher up, I was told they “don’t have phone numbers” for supervisors or anyone above the representative level. That is completely unacceptable customer service. I also spent over two hours on hold—twice—just trying to get answers, only to be given the runaround. This feels like classic lowball payouts and stalling tactics. If you’re considering American Home Shield for peace of mind, think twice. When you actually need them for a major repair, they don’t come through.

    I put in a claim for a roof leak in my garage. Within a couple of days, American Home Shield was able to get some people out and assess the damage. Then within another couple of days, they came out, fixed it, and everything went smoothly. They also gave me a year warranty for the work so it was all around a good experience. The guys that came out were very friendly. It was a father and son. They were very informative and attentive. They answered all my questions and addressed every issue and concern that I had on top of where the leak started. They also helped me identify some other issues that I may have in the future.

    However, American Home Shield has its limitations in regards to what it covers. One of my biggest gripes had to do with the coverage of the AC refrigerant. I have the Gold package, and the only thing above that is the Platinum package. They said they only cover $10 per pound, where it costs $200 per pound. That is ridiculous. There was also another problem with the water heater, where they covered the replacement of the water heater, but they did not cover the replacement of the piping that fed the water heater, even though that is common practice to replace that part. I had to pay out of pocket for that. Other than those, for the most part, our experience with American Home Shield has been positive. They've given me good coverage on most plumbing issues that I've had with them and even the AC repair.

    The heat pump wasn't working so I paid American Home Shield to send NextGen. The guy came in and checked a fuse which was blown. He put another one in, but it blew it. He told me I had to get a new heat pump and my out of pocket was probably gonna be 8,000 to 9000. I looked at him and told him I was not doing that. He said he would put it in his report to American Home Shield as normal wear and tear.

    He took off, told American Home Shield that and closed the claim. But American Home Shield was saying he asked for a capacitor. The people that I paid to come out and fix it checked all that and that was not what was wrong. It was a frayed wire going from the upstairs unit down to the outside evaporator. I had to pay these guys $247.50 because it was gonna be 24 degrees that night and I didn't have time for American Home Shield to take two days for somebody to get out here. I wasn't happy about that. I've talked to American Home Shield three times and they told me since I didn't go through them to get the unit repaired, I didn't have that money owed back to me.

    I haven't had any positive results from American Home Shield at all. For the downstairs unit that needed to be replaced, they said it was because of a lightning strike or power surge, so it wasn't covered. That cost me eight grand, which I'm now paying off. I also called and was willing to pay the $100 to have the rekey service come out. But they couldn't find anybody to do it so they gave me $100 back on that. All American Home Shield has done is cost me money. The people that I talk to have been friendly but their hands are tied.

    I cannot speak enough about Royal Air and the gentleman that came out, Roy. They went above and beyond. The unit worked then it quit working. But Roy came back and even reached out to me yesterday to make sure it was still working. I was also surprised with the turnaround time for the claim. It was less than four hours. That exceeded my expectations. Whenever I file a claim, I have done both online and over the phone, and whenever I speak with their reps, it's been an excellent experience. American Home Shield is definitely worth the money.

    AM/PM Plumbing came out for our recent AHS claim and it was very good. It came out fine. The tech did what we needed him to do and he was very polite. We’ve been with AHS since 1994 and when we started, it was just $35 for a callout. Now, it's $100. But besides inflation, they respond quickly and we've always been satisfied with the contractors they send out.

    I had a partial blockage in my main sewer line that was caused by the backwater valve being obstructed and Rooter King removed the obstruction in the backwater valve and all is good. They were in and out of here in under 30 minutes. I was ecstatic.

    But when I submitted that claim, I tried to contact AHS to set it up because I had some questions about being able to even use my plumbing at that point. When I called into their number, it said somebody would call me back in 40 minutes. I hung up on that and went online and submitted it, and then tried to call in to expedite it. I was told somebody would call me back in an hour. I called back with a question and they said, "Oh, no, everything is good. Just call the plumber. They'll be good to go."

    I called the plumber but they said, "We haven't heard from them.” I had to call back again to AHS and that one said, "Somebody will call you back in an hour and 10 minutes." In frustration, I had AHS on the line. I said, "Hold on," and I conferenced the plumber on the phone with them so they could talk to each other. That took me about four hours with AHS to get to that point. Plumber was ready to go, but they couldn't do anything till AHS sent them the information they needed. But the plumber was great. AHS got it done, but it would never have probably happened unless I spent all that time trying to fix and connect pieces. But I have had other things with them in the past where they've done a good job. It was just submitted and, the next thing I knew, I got a call back.

    On 10/2/25 I contact AHS due to a dishwasher repair issue for my rental. They sent Sears (Lake Havasu/Bullhead CIty-2) on 10/7/25 to repair. Tuesday. October 7, 2025 an appliance repairman had been out to the house to fix the non-working dishwasher and upon completing the repair, he started a cycle and then left. After the appliance repairman left and the dishwasher finished running and was on the drain cycle, is when the flooding occurred and the dishwasher was dumping all of the water onto the kitchen floor. Tenant cleaned up as much water as possible but it was underneath cabinets and the LV flooring was soaked. After calling out a company to clean up ($675.00).

    I called AHS to report and after giving me the runaround they said it wasn't their responsibility and I had to deal with SEARS directly. Oh and they didn't have a number they could provide me with either. :( The total repair costs $6,998.67 and I have heard nothing from AHS. Instead they sent out another plumber soon after and then deemed that the repair was not under warranty but did not handle the damage the prior plumber caused.

    The warranty truly doesn't cover much and if you need a part they will tell you it needs to be pre-authorized and never get back to you and give you the run around after calling weekly for months. I still have an outstanding service ticket from over THREE MONTHS ago. Every time I called to get assistance I spoke with someone new who didn't help, gave me the wrong information or pushed me off a couple days by telling me to call back in 1-2 business days. Do not recommend getting their useless home warranty, unless you want to deal with having to call them 20+ times over the course of three months with no real answer or resolution. I ended up hiring my own plumber. Biggest waste of money.

    Our recent claim experience with AHS was a little bumpy because of the timing. Our dishwasher wasn't working. It happened a week before Thanksgiving. The techs didn't come till the day before. Then they had to order a part. About a week before that, I called to see if the part was in. They said they needed a second part. I said, “They never told me that.” When the part finally came in and he called, I was leaving the next morning. So, we didn't get it fixed till just recently.

    But the tech who came out was fine. The dishwasher’s also working now. Having AHS works for us, but sometimes claims don't get done as fast as you want them to or you'd like them to, reasonably.

    It's very difficult to deal with AHS. They only listen to their contractor. They don't listen to the customer. It's not a customer service anymore. It's all about making money. My experience with my recent claim for the garage door was not great. They just wanted money and there was damage in the spring and they said that they could not fix it because they needed to replace both the spring. Both are covered in insurance, but they just walked away and gave me a bill.

    They had to do the second one and, since it was not broken, they just said, "We can't do anything." I was out of my garage for many days. Finally, I had to get it done through a third party. But AHS has not compensated me the money that I ended up paying. It was also the same experience when I had an air conditioner replacement and they changed the whole story and they didn't pay the money for that too.

    My experience with AHS has not been the best. My recent claim was for a pool pump and it was my third attempt on different issues regarding the pool and the pump and equipment and everything with the exception of a 49-cent washer was denied. They sent the same pool company out there. One time I got a second opinion, but it was just frustrating. Just after so many attempts and being denied, it seemed like something was not legit. The techs were nice, pleasant, seemed knowledgeable but they were not able to repair it. I got another company to make the repair and the replacement. The pump wasn't state-of-the-art equipment when we bought the house, that's why I purchased the warranty on it. It was a little frustrating that I paid extra for the one thing on my property that seems to break down the most and then get denied 95% of the time. It's ridiculous.

    I attempted to switch over to another more reputable company with a better experience. The lady on the phone sent me up the chain and she talked me into staying for another discount. I stayed. Then, in that process, I was denied claims at least two times once they talked me into staying.

    I bought my house 18 years ago and I've had American Home Shield since. It's a good thing that's why I stayed with it for all the years. You know what they're gonna do and what they ain't gonna do. Recently, BestWay Mechanical was timely in coming out for the hot water heater. They changed the part out.

    However, American Home Shield is almost getting too expensive for me to even try to afford. When I first started, I was paying $29 a month. But now $123 a month is a bit much. If I don't use it all year, that's over $1,000 that I'm paying for nothing. A lot of years, I didn't have to use these people for anything. If I just saved the money, I could have bought new stuff I need around here. In spite of that, I have told quite a few people about American Home Shield. My son had American Choice one time.

    Aladdin's Plumbing did a good job, but American Home Shield is terrible. They do everything they can to not pay claims. I've been paying my dues for them every month for 18 years on this house. So, I kept it from when I bought the house and just kept it going. There was one very tiny incense-sized stick that was in the drain, which was about an inch long. AHS denied my claim costing me thousands of dollars to fix it myself for something that should have been covered. And that's not the first time they've done this. The vendors they bring in are the least expensive vendors, which means it's very low-quality service vendors. You have to find someone else to do the work if AHS is not gonna pay, which they don’t 9 times out of 10. I'm tempted to just cancel it 'cause it's not worth it for me to keep paying them a monthly payment for no value.

    There were other claims that AHS did not approve but not without me having to fight for it. The stove needed to be replaced and AHS sent a vendor. But it took months for the repair guy to prove he couldn't fix it. It was ultimately fixed, but AHS tried hard not to by sending people out to try to fix it.

    American Home Shield did an awesome job. RPS Appliance Repair contractor was professional. They came in and did their work in a very timely manner. I had to call back and request RPS. AHS had three different ones and they were clear into Seattle. It took them over an hour to two hours to get to my home, just for one call. That was not good money management. I had to call back and have it done. I asked the girl that I talked to to put me on that particular company. She said she couldn't do it.

    I wish I could go back to the one that I was at before, which I was very satisfied with. But because I thought Sears was going under and didn't realize they still have their appliance stuff, I would have gone back to them. But they don't cover this area anymore. I told AHS I didn't want to go any more than what I paid. However, I now pay over 70 some odd dollars, $70 or $69 a month. That has considerably gone up considering what I was doing. I don't mind paying the 120 some odd dollars for the service call. Any more than that, I would be a little apprehensive. $70 x 12 is a significant amount of money. That's $850 a year. Plus, you have the other 100 and some odd dollars, and that puts it over 1,000. Especially if you have at least two calls in.

    American Home Shield is great and I've had them for years. But they happen to have a contractor that they need to get the heck rid of. Stephen’s Appliances, the contractor sent by AHS, is terrible.

    Our oven wasn't working, about five days before Thanksgiving. And it'd be unreasonable to think they'd get the parts in by then, by Thanksgiving. The repair guy said they'd have it in. They'd call us as soon as they got the parts in.

    They got that part in on the 1st of December. So, literally, they got it in four days after Thanksgiving, which is great. But when did we fid out they had that part in the 1st of December? About the 6th of January. And get this. I called him. He called me back. He said, “Well, American Home Shield hadn't sent us the part.” So, I said, “I'm gonna call American Home Shield. What are they gonna tell me?” And he got all defensive about it.

    American Home Shield had given me the tracking number for the part. I called Stephen’s guy back and left him a message saying, “They sent it to you. Tracking says they delivered it to you on the 1st of December.” Rather than creating a fight, I just said, “Can you check your office and see if somebody just accidentally put it to the side and you didn't realize it?”

    He called back about an hour later and said, “Oh, it was delivered to a house down the street," and was trying to cover for himself. My wife heard and didn't want the part coming to our house because of where it was delivered and wanted it cancelled.

    I called up American Home Shield and they did exactly what I expected them to do.

    On the other hand, we had another appliance we needed worked on, our washer. AHS sent out Appliance Connection. I can't say enough good things about Appliance Connection. They were fantastic. So, from now on, I'm just gonna request that they send out Appliance Connection.

    McCormick Mechanical was awesome. They came out quickly. American Home Shield sent them for a furnace repair. There was a part that needed to be repaired. The only thing is once the claim was complete, we were gonna cancel American Home Shield. We were not aware that our furnace needed to be replaced and they wouldn't replace it.

    I called American Home Shield to file a claim for my refrigerator. The rep I spoke with was okay, but the service was bad. It took five days from the time that I placed a claim for the contractor to come out. He could not fix it. He came around six times. He was okay, but he didn't know what he was doing with the refrigerator. They were trying to fix my refrigerator for over two months. The freezer and ice maker didn't work. He replaced the parts four times but still didn't work. When they replaced the parts last time, then whole refrigerator stopped working. When I called them back, they said they could send the same person back, but it was gonna take a week. They left me without a refrigerator for one week. I could not wait one week. I had to buy a new refrigerator.

    I asked American Home Shield to replace my refrigerator. They said they could not because the guy who did the service with my refrigerator was supposed to say that, but he never told them that the refrigerator needed to be replaced. He will not say that because he makes money every time he comes and does some work. So, this is a big lie.

    My experience with AHS has been great. My most recent claim was for a bad washer. They couldn’t fix it. It was not repairable. AHS gave me the option to purchase me another washer. The claim process was very simple. The contractor was also great. I would definitely recommend this contractor. He was very nice and had a good attitude. American Home Shield was on it the minute the guy sent in whatever he needed to send in to say what was going on. Within 24 hours, they got in contact with me and told me how the process worked. Within another 24 hours, they had done what I needed to do to purchase the next washer. AHS is a great company.

    I called Home Shield on the 6th and opened a claim on the phone. It was for my refrigerator and speaking with their representatives was good. They took the report, but every time I call, they don't have an answer for my questions. A technician from Sears came on the 7th, checked the refrigerator, and told us that they cannot fix it because the parts that I needed have been discontinued. So, he told me that Home Shield is gonna contact me in seven days and that they have to replace the refrigerator, but I haven't heard anything about it since the technician went to my house. I got the survey for my experience, but after that, they never called or sent me any message. I've had to call them and I've been doing it almost every day.

    Yesterday, I talked to them and the excuse they had was they didn't have the results from the technician. They already know what the problem is though. They cannot find the parts. The lady I spoke with told me that I had to wait. The concierge has to send the report to Home Shield, and then Home Shield has to pass it to another department for approval, and until now, I don't have anything for sure. I'm already frustrated because I had issues with them years ago with my refrigerator. They never fixed it and I had to buy another one. I was ready to change companies because I was not happy.

    I have families who have had the same problems before with Home Shield, and they already told me, "Oh, you are in the wrong company. They used to do that." Now, that's my experience. I saw the advertisement they put on TV about their service and they make it feel like it's easy, but when you're there, it's not that easy. They don't do what they say they're gonna do.

    I did the virtual interview over the phone with a gentleman who was very nice. I went out, took pictures of everything, and he said the guys would come out and they would be able to fix my plumbing issue in less than five minutes. So I went on and put my claim through, and American Home Shield took the $125 away. They sent H&H and I don't even know how to describe their tech's attitude. He parked on the wrong side of the street at my house, and my neighbor came out, said something, and he looked at us as if asking, “Who do you guys think you're talking to?” Then I told him that he couldn't park up the street since the traffic is going one way. And he said there were no signs. I said that I was telling him that he was not supposed to do it. Then, he was in front of my door and said if they give him a ticket, he'd take it to court and deal with it. I was really pissed about that.

    One of the guys was really nice, but this one looked at me kind of weird. I asked if they would like to go out the back since the problem was there underneath the deck. So he went out, looked at it, and said they were not touching that. He then asked who did our deck, but I told him that it didn't matter who did the deck. He then said that whoever did it, when they ran the hose bed for me to plug up my hose, they put copper in, extended it, and they didn't bring it up to code. He said it was going to cost $1,000 to fix it and they'd send the estimate. He also said I could go back to the people who put our deck up and maybe charge them.

    I was really pissed because it was right around the holiday, American Home Shield took the $125 out, and I didn't know that it wasn't covered. So, I complained about it and I told them to send me what is covered because I didn't understand why when I talked to the virtual person, he looked at it and said it would be an easy fix. So, long story short, a friend of mine who is a home improvement guy came out and looked at it, went to Home Depot, got a new copper pipe, and fixed it all. He said they didn't need to bring it up to code and that that was their way of making money. He fixed it for me in less than 20 minutes, and he did not charge me. I really want my $125 back from American Home Shield, but I'm not sure how that's going to work.

    I've been with them for about a few months and a friend of mine referred me. I was told that they really do you if your appliances go up. My house is 19 years old, but I have a new deck, furnace, AC unit, stove, dishwasher, and washing machine. If anything typically will go up in here, it's going to be the dryer. It's on its last leg and I could buy my own dryer. It's not a big deal. So, I thought about canceling out American Home Shield.

    My first claim with them was for my refrigerator, which too long. They told me they'd send somebody out and they did. The guy said they needed to order another part and I didn't have a refrigerator for about a week and a half. I didn't like that and I had to ask my neighbors to use their refrigerator. They fixed the refrigerator in the end, but I had already paid $125, why should I have to wait a week?

    Other than that, it's good to have somebody like American Home Shield. Everybody’s trying to make money and we all know that. So I'm going try to stick with them, and the gentleman told me that he will send me out my contract so that I can see what's covered and what's not. I have not received that yet and that's been about two weeks. Also, the monthly payment could be good but I have a problem with the service fee of 125. When you have someone to come out here like those idiots and didn't do anything, American Home Shield benefits from the 125. And the company is going to benefit if I told them to go ahead and do the work. And I disagree with that. There is a company out by HomeServe for Baltimore City residents whose rate is about $35 a month and they do not charge a service fee. So, I've been considering that as well. It's a new year and I'm downsizing and trying different things.

    We've been happy with American Home Shield. Placing a claim has been easy. Also, the contractors would call right away. It would take the same day or the next day. Usually, they send a text, "We got this dispatch from you guys, and we'll be up, and we'll have someone sent in about two days or something." Sometimes they explain that they already have other people in front. But most of the times, it has been quick.

    The only issue was the company that was sent to us for the washer took almost a month and a half by the time they got it fixed. It was a headache because we had to take all the clothes to wash them, and we spent money when we had our own washer. We pay for insurance for that. The issue was the technician not ordering the correct part. I know everybody makes mistakes, but one and the second time, that brings up an alert. Other than that, we have a good experience with AHS. The guys who came for the garage service did a great job. They didn't take 10 minutes and got it fixed. That was a great company.

    Most of the time when I've had issues, American Home Shield has been very helpful. Their customer service always goes above and beyond. Even when there are issues that are hard to resolve, they have helped me out. The only thing is the price increase. It is a little high and existing customers have no offers or any specials. Other than that, when it comes to their service and to helping the customer, I've been very satisfied. I've been with them for a long time.

    As far as requests, I've always felt a little bit more comfortable doing it in person but their online service is easy to handle. So, when it comes to making a claim or following up, if I don't have the time because I'm working to reach out to them, I can always just go online and check out their information. My most recent experience with a claim went well. I did that online. First, I called just to be sure that I was covered for the issue that I had, which was the garbage disposal. They did tell me it was covered, and then I completed the form online.

    The first time, the service company didn't show up. They didn't reach out to me due to the holidays and something that happened in the schedule, but nobody was available at the house at that same day. After I reached out to them and I talked to the plumbing company, they came out the day they said they were gonna come out. They called me just like I asked just so I can have somebody over the age of 18 in the house. Then they were able to fix my problem within that same visit. So, I really had a good experience with them.

I have another company out right now trying to figure out the issue, because he said he did not have the equipment. When I called American Home Shield, they told me that unless he was gonna cover it and be okay with doing the work after I had a camera company, that I was out of luck. It's on us, even though under our policy, water pipes and drain pipes are covered, but the camera portion is not covered. But the only way to detect the issue is with a camera.

    In the particular instance with my water heater, both companies were great. CMB had to reset the thermostat again and even came out a second time to make sure that it was right. They didn't have to do that. My problem was, it could be an electrical issue or a plumbing issue. We had to troubleshoot to figure out which issue was it.

    My tenant was sick and she was out without hot water for an entire week. We thought it was the plumbing, but it wasn't. I even reset it. It worked but it stopped working. Then we had to make sure power was getting to the water heater. Considering the severity of it, it wasn't done right away unless I called and stayed on top of it. They took it upon themselves to have their database team to find someone that could come out, and they did. However, I wish there was a little more attentiveness, where I didn't have to request permission to make this an emergency. I had to get an approval to state that this was an emergency. I was doing my due diligence because because as a landlord, by law, I have to have a habitable living space. When a tenant doesn't have hot water, that falls on me.

    I was also a little upset because they weren't creating it as one issue. I had to pay $100 for one company then pay another $100 for another company. I was able to speak to a manager and ask if I could I be refunded since it was the same problem. American Home Shield was able to refund the payment and I appreciate that.

    I've also had a contractor come out for other things like my washing machine, and American Home Shield gave me a new washing machine. But when my dryer started acting up, they kept sending refurbished ones so I just went on and bought a brand-new dryer. I'm not sure how often they have to go up in pricing, but it's a bit much monthly. Then we have to pay another $100 for their contractor to come out. That's essentially $200 on something that might not even have been that much. Even if it is, I'm happy to have American Home Shield than not have it, but if they keep going up in prices, I may have to start searching around. There are also no incentives of being a customer.

    Mac's Appliance Pro was quick in getting back with me, and I can't say enough nice things about the tech. He was absolutely polite. He knew exactly what he was doing. AHS sent out a company from Pensacola that was absolutely horrific. I didn't like them at all, and they ended up leaving the dishwasher. I called AHS back and they're sending Mac's out on Monday to install it. I would highly recommend him. I would request him every time I ever had anything done on one of my appliances.

    As for AHS, some of my experience were good, some were not. I can't stand the foreign people answering the calls. I don't care how much they train, they still have heavy accents and it's very difficult to understand them. American Home Shield is certainly not the only people that use offshore representatives. But I find it horrendous, and it's a terrible representation for a company. Also, the cost is a little high. When I first started, it was $30 a month. Now, it's $50 something. That's a significant increase in the two or three years I've been right back with them.

    One of my furnaces wasn't operating properly, and American Home Shield sent out Service Contractors of Texas. They had to come back twice, but it wasn't their fault. The pressure valve was doing the right voltage, but it had a short in it. So the next time the tech came, I went upstairs with him, and he wiggled the connector, and the furnace went off. He understood what it was. He replaced that. So they did a good job. They replaced the board and the pressure sensors. So I'm happy with them.

    My most recent claim with American Home Shield was horrible. I've had to have the contractor out three times now to fix my washer. They were out in May to fix it, and they were back in November. They were telling me it was the transmission, it was the slider, it was this, it was that. The communication was horrible. They wanted to be off the Friday after Christmas so they came out on December 20th. They said they were gonna just ask American Home Shield for replacement there were 10 parts that needed to be replaced. Next thing I knew, three huge boxes show up at my house on the 22nd two days later. They were just FedExed to my house with no warning that I was getting these boxes. They were sitting on my porch all day. That was certainly a difference from being told that it was being replaced to getting parts delivered to my house. The next day, two more huge boxes show up.

    The manager had to argue with American Home Shield the washing machine should be replaced because the repairs and labor cost more than a new washing machine. Finally, after arguing with American Home Shield, they agreed. Now I'm getting a new washing machine. We started this nonsense around Thanksgiving, and the new washing machine is due for delivery on Tuesday, but they haven't called me yet to confirm. The replacement should have been done a long time ago, not three service calls later and me having to take multiple days off work. It was very disappointing. Then I find out upon renewal my rates have gone up 50%. I'm not happy. When I wanted to call and complain that my renewal costs are going up, nobody cared. I came back to American Home Shield because I really appreciated the services that they offered. Now, I'm second guessing and in doubt, and so is my husband.

    I'm trying to get someone to fix a furnace. I asked for a second opinion because American Home Shield keeps sending out companies that are just saying, "Oh, everything's fine," when the unit is 37 years old. I paid out of my own pocket to have a company come out and look at it and see what was wrong with it because I keep getting the same thing and keep paying the money for them to come out. So now, American Home Shield is gonna send a second opinion. I was told that if they come and it's a different diagnosis, then I don't have to pay the fee again. But the problem is this should have been corrected last year and now, I'm paying for maintenance to come out to clean the dust off an igniter to start it. My electric bill is crazy. So it's a lot of issues with them.

    I have problems with the representatives because they can't understand English. They don't understand me and I don't understand them. So it's a lot of frustration. But I'm moving away from American Home Shield. I've been with them for 30 years. I'm spending more money on items as years have gone by and replacing parts. For instance, my refrigerator is 1995 and it's running fine. One day, it decided it didn't wanna run properly. The contractor came in and said, "Oh, you need a compressor." So they were gonna get me a compressor. But they couldn't find the compressor. So they put a rebuilt one in it. Now, everything in my refrigerator freezes, but I'm not calling American Home Shield anymore to come out and do anything about it because it's gonna die.

    The same thing happened with my dryer. It cost me $750 for the contractor to come out and I finally just got a dryer that I could have bought two sets of dryers and washers for two condos. American Home Shield has gotten a lot of money from me. I'm just trying to get what should have been fixed prior to them sending out companies that aren't reputable.

    I paid for the furnace maintenance as a maintenance every year through their company because it was cheaper for me to go through the United Temp than it was for American Home Shield to send out somebody. They shouldn't have to be doing maintenance on a 37-year-old unit. So when they sent this company out, the young boy was pushing me to buy a new unit and was not listening to me what was going on with the unit. I had somebody else come out and they said, "Oh, it's working fine, but this part and this part is old and it's gonna have to be replaced." But when I called them today, their report is not the same. It just said, "Oh, we checked the air and the flow is fine and the condo heats it up."

    American Home Shield should get better companies that are established with experienced workers. Sometimes you get old-timers like they did with my dryer. I had the same guy come out for the washer and dryer for years and years. My mom used to be there for the service calls because I couldn't be there because I traveled. They would say, "Oh, this is the best washer and dryer in the whole wide world. They don't make them anymore. I'm gonna get the parts." But eventually, they couldn't get the parts anymore. American Home Shield could have saved a customer all the stress by just stop putting the parts in it. When it's dying, let it die. With the money I make and the money I've spent, I should just take that money and sit it on the side. When something breaks, I can get a really good company to come out and go from there.

    American Home Shield was supposed to be there to help me, not stress me out. If something broke, it was to be fixed, not to keep dragging it until it dies, and then have people try to sell me things. I've had an electrician come out and tell me there was a fire in my wall, winded up banging out my wall, and it cost me $4,000 to put the wall back in the condo because there was no fire in there.

    American Home Shield came with the purchase of the property in 2021. I kept extending the coverage after that. Buying it outright on my own was since 2022.

    I submitted my claim December 23rd and the contractor came out the next day. They were easy to work with. They made an adjustment and said, "It looks like it needs to be replaced, or the part." They ordered the part, and during the holidays, I received a phone call to schedule the replacement. It was a pretty quick process. My valve malfunctioned so it created very loud vibrations. It has been quiet since the repair. Things are well.

    American Home Shield hires the worst contractors. The first plumber that they sent out was willing to replace the toilet and was going to replace the shut-off valves. But he wanted to charge additional fees for putting in all new water lines. It came up to $1700 instead of just replacing the original lines. So, I asked for a second opinion.

    The second opinion guy, who’s from InterCity Plumbing, said they can’t repair the water heater because it’s turned off, but it’s off because it was leaking and we had to shut the water off. Then, he lied to us. He never showed up the first day. We drove 240 miles round-trip only to have him not show up. The appointment window was supposed to be in the afternoon. When I called around 4:30, they said he was on his way, but then claimed they had tried to call and we didn’t answer. He never called my cell phone, even though I had given it to him and called that morning to make sure he had it to confirm the visit. I also left another message, but was told later it was never received. The plumbers were incompetent.

    American Home Shield wanted to believe this guy. He was telling AHS not to cover the claim, even though the contract says all parts and components of the toilet are covered except the lid of the toilet and the toilet seat. But the seal is leaking and he keeps telling American Home Shield that it was not normal wear and tear because we shut the water off and it dried out. We shut it off because it was leaking. This second guy was saying the angle stops would not be covered because they weren’t used. He also told the American Home Shield that the shutoffs were outside the building. They refused to give me what he sent them because what they're sending, telling me on the phone, was different from what he sent me.

    I’ve wasted hours dealing with this. Last week, AHS approved another visit to look at the hot water heater, the toilet, and the leaking faucets. Then InterCity contacted them and those orders were canceled, and now AHS is only sending someone to look at the hot water heater, even though I already told them those other issues were never fixed. Someone from their team said she would get back to us, but she didn’t call until four days later and said she’d been busy, even though our water has been shut off since November 15 and we still can’t turn it on. It’s been almost two months. We're gonna have to go into arbitration if AHS doesn't straighten up.

    495 Garage Door had a lead time of about three days. I requested for them to come a little earlier. They put me on a cancellation list and came in a day before, which was very helpful, and they dealt with the issue very quickly and efficiently. The technician was very good. He clearly explained to me what went wrong. He took a few minutes to make sure it was a covered loss. He called his office and then he confirmed it and then went ahead and changed the part.

    I had one issue a few months back when I needed three visits to fix the toilet bowl, but that was probably the first service provider's fault. And after it happened thrice, American Home Shield changed the service provider. That person came in and dealt with it immediately. The only thing with American Home Shield is they didn't cover my fireplace, and I'm spending a bunch of bucks repairing it.

    So far, I’ve only used AHS one time and it's worked out positively. When Giminos came out, they did a diagnosis, but one of the appliances needed to be replaced and one of them had a part that needed to be ordered. They ordered the part and followed up with me right away. They gave me a list of appliances to choose from, and I took my time doing it. I ultimately got a gift card from Lowe's and I'm gonna go and pick one out this weekend. The monthly cost of AHS is okay, too but I realize that the one-time service fee is a bit high. I'm paying $125 for a service fee, and I have an associate who has a similar plan and they don't pay as much. I think that part should be lower.

    When I reported a leak in my bathroom, I spoke to a representative from American Home Shield then they had High Priority come out to discover and eventually fix the leak. It took a couple of times to do it. Initially, they said they turned off the problem, but when the mitigation company came, they saw something else was leaking. When the service guy from High Priority came back and fixed the pipes, it was still leaking after he left. I had to catch him before he drove off. He had to come back the next day and complete the job again. That caused more damage to a different part of my ceiling in another part downstairs. Overall, the majority of my experience with American Home Shield has been very positive, but like everything else, it's getting very expensive to maintain.

    We had to have our furnace looked at. I reached out to American Home Shield online, and a contractor came out within 24 hours. They were very good and the issue was resolved. We also had an issue with an air conditioner this summer. Our coverage is supposed to be up to $5,000 for each air conditioner and furnace, and AHS didn't cover any of it. So, that was rather disappointing. That's the main reason that we have the coverage. It cost us $250 to find out that they weren't gonna cover it. We've been with AHS for 16 years and they've been okay but I'm not sure if it's worth the money. They replaced a dishwasher with one that wasn't as good as the one that I had. We have to pay an upgrade to get a nicer one. I wouldn't recommend them to someone else.

    The initial plumber gave a costly and inaccurate diagnosis without proper inspection. I contacted American Home Shield. This is where they showed that they cared about the customer. At first, they wanted to charge me for a second opinion. I explained that if I was going to pay for another opinion, it would have to be someone I trusted, which meant calling my own plumber and paying out of pocket for an inspection. I told them that otherwise, they would need to cover the cost. After that, they agreed to absorb the expense since this is a second opinion and I wasn’t satisfied with the first visit.

    The second opinion, Holland Plumbing, conducted a thorough inspection. They knew that they were the second opinion, but they didn't know what was going on. They didn't know what the first-opinion solution was. He identified that the sump pump was functional, only needing cleaning, saving me a significant amount compared to the first estimate. Holland Plumbing steered me in the right direction. I didn't have to be out of pocket of $1,500. It only cost me $400. I would definitely put Holland on my speed dial. They seem professional, where the other plumbers did not. He also explained to me everything in detail what was going on. He was providing me with solutions.

American Home Shield also meesed up when I sent in a claim because my carbon monoxide in the basement was going off. They sent someone to fix it but it still was going off. So I was very mad. I waited four weeks for the tech to come and fix. It was a long time. So I gave American Home Shield the worst review ever and I canceled. Then I went back again this year because they had a promotion. $70 and $80 a year is a lot.

    The ice maker stopped working 10 days ago. I turned it off and then I put it back on. So I called American Home Shield again, and they told me, "Oh, you have to pay another $100." But I told them that I was not gonna pay a penny. They're supposed to replace the refrigerator. American Home Shield agreed that they will pay $100 this time and they will refund the old one.

    When a pipe burst out of my home, American Home Shield sent K&S. It's a plumbing company that I've been having issues with, and I've explained that to American Home Shield. So, this recent time, the tech came out and instead of doing the evaluation and telling them that a pipe had burst inside of my wall, he went in to go above his pay grade and sent in a bogus recommendation. K&S wanted to charge me $600 to fix it, and that was during the holiday.

    When he originally came out, you could tell he didn't want to do the service. It was around the holidays, who would wanna work around the holidays? He was rude in the way he talked to me. When he came in, I really wanted him to leave immediately because of his presence and demeanor. He was talking to me roughly and I told him, "What's going on?" He contacted American Home Shield and then American Home Shield denied fixing my leak. It was causing damage to my floors so I told them, "Okay, I don't understand why y'all denying to fix my leak." Apparently, the tech reported that I needed to get my whole entire house repiped. So American Home Shield walked me through my policy and said they could not do it. They didn't even want to do the second review.

    I've already talked to American Home Shield about K&S and told them not to send them back out to my home. But American Home Shield still sent them out telling me that these were the people that was assigned. I kept asking about different people. So they finally did a review to assign it to someone else. But they didn't even respond to me. They didn't call me. They didn't do anything. I kept calling them. It was going to voicemail. Nobody was contacting me. So me and my kids were out of serve water for two weeks because of American Home Shield. This is not the first time they dropped the ball on me.

    It's terribly hard to understand the people that answer the phone for American Home Shield. They neglected to answer my questions. Everybody gives me inconsistent information. Everybody I spoke with refused me to speak with the supervisor. They wouldn't allow me to speak to anyone. So I had a terrible experience with them. I told American Home Shield that I want to cancel, and still to this point, they're still not allowing me to cancel. They do everything they can to stop me from canceling, and I don't know why. I should be able to cancel and find a new home warranty. But it's a hassle trying to get to cancel with them.

    When the second company, DrainGo, came out, the tech went through and evaluated the situation. He said it was easy to fix. He told me, "We're gonna do the review. We'll send it up to them. We'll go ahead and repair it." He also added, "I'm not gonna allow you and your small children to be without water for another day." They were very great. DrainGo is a very good company. They value customer service. They understand. They have great empathy, all while being fair and diagnosing the situation correctly. But at that point, because American Home Shield took so long, I ended up having to file an insurance claim, which I don't like doing because that's why I got a warranty company. Had American Home Shield sent the people out here to fix it immediately, I wouldn't have had all of this damage to my home.

    I'm very upset with American Home Shield because they keep on hiring these different contractors to come in and do subpar service. I'm spending over $100 dollars. So they collected over $12,000 from me in one year. I pay for what the services that I want and I could barely get any kind of assistance and help to get anything fixed. It took four times and me practically taking up days that I worked just to get this done, and it shouldn't be that hard, especially if you're taking $12,000 from me.

    I'm unhappy with American Home Shield's service. I'm not renewing with them. I found a $100 coupon and submitted a request. They're supposed to give me monthly tune up to check out the unit. The contractor came out. The tech provided me his quote on recommendation of what needs to be done. I thought he's gonna bring his gauges to make sure there's Freon in the unit, to validate that it's cooling properly as such. That is what I consider a maintenance tool because that's what I paid for. I didn't see any of that. He said the A-coil needed to be cleaned, which is understandable. Two weeks later, I noticed my unit is not cooling. I just paid for a maintenance cleanup. He didn't say anything about anything else needed to be done besides the cleaning of the A-coil that's in the indoor unit.

    I opened up a claim from AHS to have them come to find out why is the unit not cooling. It was my parents who were here. They told me he came in, looked at it, gave an estimate. Cool. I called them when he was here. He told, "Like I told you, the air conditioning unit is not getting efficient airflow into the unit. It needs to be cleaned as well, and the outside unit looks like there's some burnt wires that need to be replaced.” I said, "Okay. Cool. I'm gonna have to submit a claim to the insurance." I called them for a break-fix, not a tune up or cleanup. A break-fix, because the AC unit would turn on but not cool.

    He came out there. He did his thing. He never called me back. But I log in to AHS, provided a quote for $1,000 to do the whole entire thing, got declined. I never heard from them. I called one of my guys, a personal friend of mine, he worked on AC units. He came out. He said, "It's just a capacitor. The wire burnt out. I can fix it. That's an easy fix." He fixed it in five minutes.

    I assume American Home Shield does their own background checks. I'm not gonna question them. I've been with them for three years now. I understand if it's a break-fix, they will come out and fix it. But I notice that these contractors come in and say when something breaks, it's usually due to wear and tear. This issue occurred twice when they tried to provide me a maintenance or a tune up. I requested a break-fix and they did not fix it. The same thing happened with my dishwasher. They got it fixed. But the recent tech tried to squeeze as much as he can out of the job instead of just fixing the issue, when it was just a stupid capacitor that the wire burnt out. It took 15 minutes to fix. It only cost me $200 to do, but he wanted a part for $1,000.

    It's been about two years since we got American Home Shield and our experience has been satisfactory. We submit claims online, which is easy and quick. When our tub faucet fell off the wall, we couldn't use the tub. We did a claim and it went great. Spring Plumbing was responsive and they came out within a couple of days and fixed the issue. The service person was a young guy who was very enthusiastic and really nice. He explained everything really well and laid out what our options were, and what would go faster and what would go slower. If we chose different parts, it had to be approved by AHS. It was fine.

    The service person had to break into the wall and replace the pipe because it was too short. He was out within a couple of hours. There was a big hole in the wall, and he said, "AHS covers that. So, I'll send them the pictures, and they'll contact you." That was the only thing that was a bit of a bummer this time, 'cause I didn't hear a thing from AHS and it had been a couple of weeks.

    I reached out to the Spring Plumbing guy to make sure that he sent the information and he said, "I did." He contacted AHS again, then I got a call within 12 hours. We have a sizable hole in the wall until next Wednesday, but it's on schedule for patching. Overall, I'm fine with my AHS service, but it seems that the followup had fallen by the wayside and it's not the first time that's happened. Still, if someone has an old house, getting American Home Shield is worth it. Sometimes there'd be delays that are inconvenient, but it will save them a lot of money.

    We've been with American Home Shield since 2014 or longer. We probably got it shortly after we bought our house and we've been here 20 years. We currently have two ongoing claims with them. One is for a refrigerator that stopped working and the other is for a gas stove wherein the dials stopped working as well. I submitted the service requests online and it took about a week for the service people to come out. They had to order parts and the refrigerator repair person will come Monday, while the stove will hopefully be fixed next week.

    The tech from the company that American Home Shield hired was not nice. The contractor changed the schedule three times for me and had the tenant taking the day off so he could be there. The tenant had to leave for work and come back at 3:30 because that's the last time that they changed it. He was five minutes late. However, the contractor did not call me. They just sent me an email. I specifically requested that they either call me or the tenant we could schedule, but they never did. My tenant was five minutes late. Whoever went to the house said they would call it as a missed appointment and they would not wait five minutes for the tenant. That was messed up. I was unhappy with that.

    I have an AHS agreement on a call. They talked to the owner of the company. I also called the owner of the company and he told me that he already spoke with the tenant and they scheduled a time when he will be there to have a day off and to be there on time. They are going to do it this week on Tuesday. I also had two huge issues with AHS in the past.

    I had a refrigerator that went bad. A contractor came in and put tape to hide the crack. I wrote a letter about it and sent it to American Home Shield but they never responded to me. They also didn't cover the dishwasher parts that were broken. There was a switch and something else they said were not covered. If that's the case, then what am I paying for? I'm very disappointed. I have a six-burner stove that went out on me yesterday. I gotta call American Home Shield back to have them fix that. But now, I'm wondering if it'd be easier to just go buy a new one. I spent practically $1,200 on my house and $3,000 on the other houses. American Home Shield is waste of money. If they don't respond to their customers, that tells me they don't care. All they do is grab the money and tell you to go shove it and you don't really have anything.

    American Home Shield contracted with Sears on my most recent claim, but then Sears called me to make the actual appointment. So, I asked them to call me ahead of arrival so that I could leave work and be there, and they said that they would. They didn't call, and this happened twice where I made two appointments with them and they didn't call before they came, but then they put a note in the system that they had been there and I wasn't there. I made a third appointment and I took the day off, and I was sitting there as I check on the status of, “Okay, we're still in the window. But let me see if there's a time of when they're gonna be here.” There was also a note in the system saying they've been to my house and I wasn't there, which was a lie. My husband and I were there, and nobody knocked on the door.

    I was over it. I called American Home Shield, told them what happened, and told them I wanted not a new contractor. Sears was my second contractor. I wanted my refund and I was done with them. So, I waited until today when my contract was up to cancel. I've been with the company for six years, and I've called them for two appliance issues and they haven't been able to fix either one. So, I don't see the sense in continuing to pay out the amount of money that I'm paying out per year.

    Additionally, my first instance was I needed a contractor for my bathtub, and the one that they assigned the first time didn't work out. So due to the steady leaking of it and them being unable to find a new contractor, I went and found someone myself. The man who came out was great. He was quick and got it fixed. When I called American Home Shield to see if there was anything they could do about refunding me or comping me for the service, there was nothing that they could do.

They diagnosed the issue, waited a week, ordered the parts, came back, and put it together. Overall, I'm satisfied with American Home Shield. My experience is positive 80% of the time. The only time we've had a negative experience was with our air conditioner. I needed a new air conditioner. Mine was old from 2005. It still took a type of Freon that is illegal now, and they wanted to replace it with the same type, and I didn't want that so I ended up spending about $15,800 on a new AC unit. They gave me $210 for my trouble. That was in their contract. I would have known had I read it well enough.

This is my first experience with them, and it was so inefficient that as soon as I can find a comparable replacement with better customer service, I'm going to change. I would tell others not to use American Home Shield. For my washing machine claim, IFI Services took the old washing machine out and they put the new one in.

    Aeon Blue came out and diagnosed our pool problem but they didn't fix it because they said it is not covered according to my contract with American Home Shield. AHS is selective as to what it covers, what it doesn't in the swimming pool area and that doesn't work for me. There are three pumps in the swimming pool, the main pump and two other pumps. They cover only one pump. They didn't tell me that at the beginning. I got disappointed because the main one has no problem. It is the second one, which is the cleaner one and that is what the problem is. Another company came and looked at the swimming pool heater and they told me AHS covers it. If it's not fixed, unable to fix it, they would replace. But the guy who came here said, "Okay, this is a pre-existing condition. You brought somebody before us." And he couldn't fix it. He took one part from it. I said, “If you cannot fix it, I'm open to fix it. Go ahead and replace the part that is broken.” But they refused to replace it.

    I called American Home Shield for an issue with my AC and they sent out an AC tech. The AC tech thought it was a electrical issue so they transferred the ticket back to American Home Shield. American Home Shield sent Power Moves out here and they came out and said, "No, everything looks fine, electrically. It's something going on with your AC." So then they had to transfer the ticket back to American Home Shield who sent the AC tech back out. They determined that it was an issue with the compressor in my downstairs AC unit. They're waiting for the compressor to get to them that American Home Shield have ordered. So then they can call me and schedule to come out and get it installed.

    I've been pretty unhappy with American Home Shield. When I have a claim, I usually do the initial request online. I'll submit whatever the issue is, and then they'll do their thing. Then I'll get communication via app or text or email that it's been assigned and somebody will call me to schedule. The online process is smooth. But when you start getting into more complicated situations like the one I'm in now, the online system doesn't do a good job of giving you updates or explaining where they are in the process or what's next. So, as long as it's a bang-bang kind of thing, everything is fine. But as soon as you get into a little more complicated, it gets a little dicey.

    The employees at American Home Shield were great. The heating company representative was excellent. However, I no longer want to be part of the program itself because it didn't really support in the way it's advertised. It states that it would give you up to $5,000 for HVAC, but all it did was give a credit and then, I had to pay market rate for a heating installation from a third party. So, it's not advantageous to me to continue to pay them $50 a month if that's what's gonna be happening. I'd rather just put $50 away a month in a home repair fund.

    Submitting the claim online was not a difficult process. The process was difficult because of the sense of urgency. I'm a senior, had a knee replacement, and my house was cold for over 10 days. When I told that to American Home Shield, they did show compassion and like a sense of urgency. Luckily, somebody canceled, and that's why I was able to get in.

    The representative that I spoke with was very knowledgeable and set up my claim very quickly. The contractor came out quickly and fixed the issue. The tech was great. He explained some things to me and taught me a little bit more about my system because I really didn't know. Overall, I've had very good experience with the technicians. I have no problem with American Home Shield's service in general.

    American Home Shield has what I would consider a 30-day warranty when someone comes out. I feel that's unacceptable because a person shouldn't have to pay a service fee if something and the exact same thing breaks within 30 days. In my opinion, it was never fixed properly. So, if a person has to pay another $100 for the same exact issue to say every 31 to 32 days, then that's the company trying to get more money because you should warranty your service a lot longer. If you fixed it properly, there's no way that it should break again in 30 days.

    American Home Shield doesn't seem like a bad company. However, customers should shop around, because I noticed that my rate has almost went up $200, when other companies are offering what appears to be the same level of service for $200 cheaper. So my current thing is $899. But other companies are offering $500 and $600 for the year. If you have a customer that long, it should have not went up all the way to $900.

    I called in a claim during Christmas time, and I didn't hear anything for a week and a half. I downloaded the American Home Shield app and created a login. As soon as I logged in, I saw my work order. As soon as I saw my work order, the very next day, CAMCO folks contacted me. So I needed to do the app instead of just calling in the work order. Then somehow, I created two work orders doing that. CAMCO said that they would cancel one and complete the other one. I was very happy with CAMCO’s service.

The appointment they gave me was also very fast. So, I'm satisfied. I had to pay $100 for each of the services. I submitted my claim through my account dashboard on American Home Shield's website.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been both good and bad. I've used them in the past and they were much better. Their customer service reps were always very nice, but they could only do what's in front of them. I called them recently because I was having issues with the stove. It took them two and a half months to fix it. Somebody came out within two weeks of me filing the claim. The motherboard had to be repaired. They couldn't get the part itself. It was just repaired yesterday. They fixed it eventually, but it did take a while.

    I had some outlets that were not working, and then I had a couple of breakers that were thrown. All American Electrical was sent out and they had to come out a second time, because the first time, the guy got it working and left, but shortly after he left, the breakers tripped again. A few days later, they had to come back out, so I had to reschedule through American Home Shield for that to happen.

    I had to explain to the guy what happened. The outlets in the kitchen weren't working. He found the GFCI switch that I didn't realize was behind the toaster, and it was all it needed to get those three outlets working. The other ones were for the living area, for a bedroom upstairs, and he did have to replace the breaker on those. He stuck around to make sure they were working for a little while, so I appreciate that he did that.

    I normally do my claims online, and the turnaround time is good. There's an issue with the app when it comes to the electrical part. I had 2 things that they needed to do. When the electrical company called me to schedule it, they said, “We only see one thing.” I told them that I clearly marked two different things that needed to be done. The electrical company told me I've got to contact American Home Shield and have them add the other thing. Their online thing always does this. So, you have to contact them by telephone now. If I click two things on the website, American Home should tell the company that they're gonna do the service through. I shouldn't have to call. What's the purpose of having it done online, which is what they want you to do, if you have to end up calling? That was a hassle.

    The electricity in my garage had went out. We submitted a claim for it to American Home Shield online through the app. It's easy to use the app when it's clear cut. It's harder to use it when it's not as clear cut as what's listed. But this time, it was very easy. The contractor came and fixed the problem quickly, and it was all good to go. He communicated well with scheduling. We called him when he was on his way. He called me when he got there and let me know what the problem was. He was very efficient.

    We've been with American Home Shield since 2017. I do think other options should be on their app. I had to call in because we couldn't do a claim online. I have a more recent claim. My sink just fell through, so we had to do a claim for that, but when I try to do it online, there are no options to choose that. If I choose plumbing, it asks about leaks and they say my sink has to be re-put back up. So, we had to call in to do that one. Other than that, it's fine. I've recommended them before. They're efficient. They're very responsive. I feel like I need it and it works for us. My price keeps going up yearly, but outside of that, it's a good insurance thing to have for your home, especially when you bought a new home because you never know when something may go wrong.

    I have been a client of American Home Shield for years, and my experience is not as good as I thought. I don't use it much, and I just asked for a service recently. They sent me a plumber but the budget that they presented was extremely high. So, I checked with an external supplier, and I realized that I have been overpaying to all the service providers that are recommended by American Home Shield. I paid annually, but I'm seriously thinking about canceling the service.

    I had an incident with my water heater. Also, there was a leak in the kitchen. I ended up having another company, replacing the boiler because what they were proposing was very expensive. I found another solution and I saved $3,000. One thing that they have to improve on is the clarity regarding what is covered and what is not covered by the insurance. Every time I have had an issue and I call them, they come, they see and they appraise the case, and say, “Well, this is not covered. And this is not covered.” I have no elements at all to debate that. I just accept, so for me, it's like I were begging for something.

    I use American Home Shield's service every once in a while. I like that it's convenient to set up a service online. The website is easy to use, and I don't have to make a call to schedule something else. It's all right there online. The one and only time that I had to talk with anyone on the phone was with a garage door situation, and the customer service rep wasn't able to help.

    My last service request was for a dishwasher that was leaking water on the floor while it was running. We did the call for the dishwasher this past Wednesday and the technician was professional. He went straight to work when I let him in. He had a question for me, and I answered it. He repaired my dishwasher that day and when I ran it after he left, it didn't leak anymore. The floor was dry.

    We've been in this house since 2018 and we've had American Home Shield's home warranty since the beginning. For about eight years now, we've had the same package, which includes the main appliances I need that I feel are gonna break down. I don't think I'm getting my money's worth though. When I first signed up, it was $75 for the trade call fee, and we're at $100 now for every instance that I call them. I didn't like that. Also, the monthly premium has been going up since I first signed up. I'm not happy about that as well, but there isn't anything that I can take off my package because I have the basics.

    When we turn the dryer on, the whole house trips and the power go out. Authorized Electric, the first company that came out, did not diagnose the problem correctly. Then, Stella Electric came out and saw the exact issue that I was referring to. I enjoyed working with Stella Electric but American Home Shield has had me waiting for over a month to get the issue resolved. I was told it has to go through the authorization department, but nobody can contact them, so they have to wait. It’s an electrical problem so it's been very stressful because your house could end up catching on fire.

    I've stressed to AHS that this is a very important issue and after dealing with them for over a month, it still hasn't been resolved. So, we can't wash clothes. It's such a headache.

    Our washing machine started making a loud noise and it also had an effect on the lights causing them to flicker, so we called American Home Shield, and they sent Sears out. The technician diagnosed the problem and told me what the next steps were. He said they were gonna need to replace the transmission of the washer, and that AHS would let me know what their determination is on whether or not they were going to repair the washer or replace it. AHS replaced it. We took the option of getting a Lowe's e-card and upgraded our washer. My wife is short and she has a hard time reaching the bottom of the top loader, so we got a front loader and she loves it.

    During this process, American Home Shield's representatives were friendly and accommodating. They understood that I had no idea how to approach two issues, and we went through the process and set up the washer visit. Then we made a request for service for the electric. We've called them, too, to address an issue with our HVAC system that we had last year. They sent someone out and they fixed it. We're still working through the electric part because the electrician gave me homework. It could have been sorted out through American Home Shield, but I have a basic understanding of electricity, and the task is simple. We're going through the process of pulling all of the outlets and switching plates in the house, and checking all the connections.

They told me that they couldn't do anything about it.

    Recently, our split unit was not providing heat. We turned it in to American Home Shield for their contractor to come out and check it. HenSon's came out on the initial visit, ran some tests, and said it needed some refrigerant and a part, possibly. About a week or two later, we had to call American Home Shield. We were trying to call the contractor to get an update because the repairman talked like he was gonna come out in two more days to put the refrigerant in. But we could never get them to answer any of our calls or texts. American Home Shield finally got in touch with them the week of Thanksgiving. HenSon's sent us a text saying they had the refrigerant and the part was ordered. After that, we never heard from them again in spite of multiple texts and phone calls.

    American Home Shield has made multiple calls and emails sent to them for updates as well. It was last Monday that they finally touched base with them and got them on the phone. The worst experience I had was last Monday. They kept telling us to call a different number to talk to someone higher and get the problem solved. It was the same number that they were giving us over and over. That was an issue we had, but it eventually got resolved.

    I told American Home Shield in the beginning of the year that I was going to let them go because I don't use them. Then one of the customer service reps told me that she would lower the price to 80 something dollars. Then when I agreed to it, she told me that my deductible was $125 but it would be waived for my first claim. So, I renewed my contract with them.

    Recently, I went online and I put my order in for a plumbing service. They charged me the $125, so I called and the first person I talked to told me to cancel the online order and call back to get my free order. So, I had to refuse the online order, then I had to call back to talk to another rep and I had to redo the order. I had to call about four times to talk to four different reps because they kept telling me something different where they were saying that their manager would call me, and that they got to get it approved. I waited a whole day and I didn't receive anything from that rep. I called again and I spoke to another person. Said their manager was going to call. Finally, they kept their word and they called to tell me about it.

    The contractor they assigned to my claim was DNB Plumbing. Their tech came out, told me what was wrong, and he fixed it. He was very professional. Usually, I also run into some good customer service with American Home Shield's reps. But this last time, it was the worst I ever experienced.

I came back into the house about 11 hours later, and it was still leaking. I called American Home Shield back, requested a follow-up appointment with them. Then they came back two days later. This time they stated that it was a cracked heat exchanger. They were trying to sell me a new boiler system, saying that the boiler should be changed. But I don't think that's the case because they received two different, independent assessments from professional plumbers. They were both saying that they were wrong, that it's not the actual heat exchanger. It's the act, the expansion that needs to be changed. If the boiler symptoms are consistent with the diagnosis, if it really was a cracked heat exchanger, then the heat wouldn't be consistent. But it is consistent. I'm just waiting for them to close the ticket so that American Home Shield could send out a different contractor to get a second opinion. AHS has been helpful, but I feel like this could be handled differently.

    The claim with American Home Shield didn't go well. The people who came out the first time were supposed to fix my elderly grandmother's washer and dryer. The washer was fixed but the dryer was not fixed, so we had to call them back out.

    We couldn't understand anything that the guy they sent out was saying about what the dryer needed as his accent was really bad. I called American Home Shield, they said it wasn't covered. So I got upset.

    We also have American Home Shield under my husband's name here at our house. They were supposed to fix the refrigerator. Then there was talk about it being infested so it was not covered.

    We've had the warranty since October but they didn't fix anything, so it just isn't worth it. I'm tired of this.

    We got our house in April and American Home Shield was part of our closing. We've had them eight months at this point and I like their app. It's convenient. I can get around, because I wasn't sure even what was covered. When something happens, I look at it and it explains what would be covered.

    When I recently encountered an issue with my garage door, I just went in through the app on my phone and did a service request. Garage Door Experts got right back in touch with me. The app said they would contact me within 72 hours, but it happened the next day. A tech came out that following day, and he was very professional. He got the job done and went on about his business. He was informative, explained what he was doing and what was covered through American Home Shield.

    The experience was painless for us. American Home Shield was right on top of it and I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know that's buying a house. It was my second time using them in that short time, because we thought we had an issue with the air conditioning in the summer. It seems like they work with a lot of good contractors that are about helping the consumer. All in all, American Home Shield is reliable, affordable and professional.

    American Home Shield has tried different vendors but my heating unit hasn't been serviced yet. There is one contractor who said they were gonna fix it and they're checking with Carrier for the parts. They tried to explain everything to me. They showed up on 12th but did not update anything. I called yesterday and they said they already ordered the parts on the 14th. The expected shipment is three to seven business days. Once they get the part, they're gonna call me. These are the initial parts required to find out the next problem. So far, it's going good unless it would get extremely colder here in Texas.

    Before that, one contractor showed up but said they don't service those. American Home Shield tried two or three vendors, but they didn't work with the system. I raised the request on the 6th and today is the 16th, but the unit is still not working. Other than that, I'm getting the response that is required from the American Home Shield. They are trying their best to assign the contractors.

    I’m done with AHS. I'm canceling my policy. My recent claim experience with Sears was horrible. They scheduled an appointment and they said, from 8:00 to 3:30. The guy called me at 5:45 and said he was 20 minutes out. He got to my door and I asked for an ID. He showed me a driver's license. I said, “How do I know you're from Sears?” He opened his coat and showed me this dingy blue Sears t-shirt. I let him in. He went down there. He stared at the machine like it's foreign. He went back out. He said he couldn't fix it because they don't manufacture the part anymore. He said American Home Shield should contact me within 48 hours. They didn’t. I called them and they sent me a link to order the replacement dryer, so I selected same thing gas dryer, only this was GE. But when I get my confirmation, it said electric GE dryer. I said, “I don't want electric.” I called. The guy said, “I can fix it. I have to cancel your order, and I'll send you a new link, and you just select the correct dryer.” I said, “That's what I did the last time.” He sent me this link that said cash in lieu or reimbursement. But there was no purchase link.

    I ended up calling back. They said, “If you canceled it, we can't do anything.” I hung up. I called back. I get somebody that said, “I can fix this.” She fixed it. She sent me a new link. I ordered a dryer. That was great. Then I got this phone call, “Your dryer is gonna be delivered.” They came to deliver it. The tech called me at 6:45 in the morning to tell me that he was 30 minutes away. He brought the dryer in and I was waiting for him to install it. He said, “Did they tell you that this is a two-step process?” I said, “No. Nobody mentioned that.” I called American Home Shield. The rep said, “We'll put you in a queue.” She also said, “Your other option is, if you have a plumber, you can hire your own plumber and we'll reimburse you up to $125.” Okay. Got the plumber. Same one I use came out and he installed it.

    I called AHS back. “How do I process the $125?” They said they don’t do that. I had three people quote the procedures to me. I was not letting this go, because I know what I was told. I called back again. This gentleman transferred me to the appliance department and the rep said, “Yeah, I see the notes here. We need your banking account information. We'll reimburse you the 125.” The reimbursement came yesterday. The next step on the paper said, “If the appliance was installed, call GE to have it hauled away.” I did that. But they said, “We can only haul it away if you use our technician.” Now, I'm still sitting with a broken dryer in my basement, trying to figure out how I can get rid of it. This has been one complete nightmare.

    My most recent claim was excellent with Sewer Medic. They did their job very well with the hot water heater. But the experience with Sykes Plumbing has not been very good at all. I've got a leaky faucet that's been leaking for a month or two. First of all, they said they needed to get a new cartridge for the leaking faucet. That took about 15 days. I could have gone down to a local hardware store and got the part for it to fix it. But then, they put the new cartridge in, and it was still leaking. They said there was corrosion, and that it needed a new faucet. They said American Home Shield wasn't gonna cover that. I didn't understand why they said that American Home Shield would not replace a faucet. But as best that I read the contract, American Home Shield should replace that.

    The circuit board inside the garage door opener burned out, which to me, would fall under the category of normal wear and tear because the garage door has been in there since I had the home built, which is approaching 20 years. But American Home Shield denied my claim, saying that it's not normal wear and tear. They are a terrible company. I have them for at least 10 years and when I first got with the company, it was fairly easy to get a person on the phone to make a claim. The last few years, the company has taken a turn for the worse.

    As a matter of fact, when they sent the first company out to try to fix my garage door, I was so dissatisfied and I tried to cancel my contract because it was so hard to get a live person on the phone to force you to do everything online now. Other than that, the contractor I got was ok. It took them about a week to schedule the service and when they came out, they were professional. But since American Home Shield denied the claim, the garage door opener is still not working. All in all, American Home Shield's service is not worth the money that they charge you. The monthly charges and the service fee have gone consistently up since I've been a customer of theirs. But the service that they give is going consistently down. I had a friend ask me about American Home Shield the other day, and I told him not to go to them. I told him to find another home warranty company.

    I had my kitchen stopped up over the weekend, but I waited until late on Friday to call AHS. Monday morning was good. The plumber who came out was very knowledgeable. I like the convenience of knowing that anything major that happens, I don't have to come out of pocket more than $100. What we paid monthly, plus, the $100, I probably could have got the stoppage uncleared for that myself. I had a leak under that sink too. It's nice to know if the leak comes back within 30 days, the plumber comes back, and the stoppage too. I can have a professional come and not have to just try to risk it myself.

    AHS has also greatly improved on their customer service. I had American Home Shield six years ago and any time you called in, you couldn't understand what the heck they were saying. Now it's much more clear. When I first moved here, American Home Shield was part of my package when I bought this condo. I ended up with my washer and my refrigerator replaced. But it was not a good experience. I had my washing machine sitting in my living room for a week before they could get another company to come out to bring it upstairs. It was awful.

I would never work with the person they contracted out again. The product got changed, but I ended up paying more on my end than American Home Shield did. It didn't say when I got it, "We'll pay half of what you got coming." When you call and ask for something, then the specifics come in. I got a platinum program.

    American Home Shield needs to do better with who they get to represent them. I had a recent heating claim where they sent K&D Heating Service out. The motor was bad. It was extremely cold. At that time frame, the guy who came out said would submit the information to American Home Shield to try to track down a different motor. If not, the alternative would have been to replace the furnace. I reached back out to him the next day, and there was nothing. So, I took different measures because it was extremely cold. When I reached back out to him, he said that the manufacturer was trying to track the part down. I have a friend that specializes in that and as soon as I called him, he tracked the motor down and put it in. That whole experience was bad. The guy saying he couldn't track the part down was fictitious. He didn't try to track the part down. His whole goal was to try to get me to put a new furnace in. That was a disaster.

    As far as my claims to American Home Shield, I do it online.

    My washer and dryer went on the fritz at the same time. The washer is a front loader and the drum stopped circling. The dryer on certain cycles just wouldn't dry at all. It's a gas dryer and it wouldn't ignite on certain cycles. After submitting the claim online, the tech came out the next day. I did the claim on a Friday and he called Saturday morning and asked if he could come out because he lives around the corner. He was very nice and professional. He diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. He repaired the washer. It's working fine. But the dryer is still having an issue.

    The tech wasn't able to completely repair the dryer. He thought it was a moisture sensor. So, he replaced the moisture sensor and that didn't completely fix the problem. The first load of clothes that I put in the dryer, I turned it to the normal cotton cycle, and they did not dry at all. It runs, but 15 minutes after the cycle began, I checked on it, and the clothes were still wet and cold. So, there's no heat getting to it.

    I kind of fiddled around with the dial on the front that you turn to whatever cycle you want. I would kind of spin the dial back and forth and then land on the right cycle and all of a sudden, it would work, but it's not consistent. So, I think the problem is in the dial. But what happened was the tech texted me and said that he had called American Home Shield and let them know that he was not all that familiar with gas dryers. He wasn't certified in liquid propane gas. So, he wanted them to transfer the claim over to Elite Appliances, and I have not heard anything since.

    American Home Shield is a great company. We've had another claim with them, and that went very well. They fixed an ice maker that was not working in the refrigerator. They also fixed a rack in the dishwasher that had kind of falling apart. My washer and dryer claim is just a rare issue where they chose a technician that simply didn't have the knowledge of a gas dryer. But as far as American Home Shield goes, they stand behind their work. They do everything they can to help you.

    The acrylic knobs on my shower and tub were breaking, and the water heater wasn't maintaining hot water for long. I made a claim with American Home Shield and I explained the issued to them. They assigned Cascade Plumbing to do the service and before they came out, I also explained what was going on to them. And I had to pay a deductible for them to come out. But when Cascade came out, they called the company and told them that when the acrylic pieces went bad, I purchased a universal piece. I'm a human and I have to take a shower. So, I got that universal adapter to connect to the valve stems, so that they could turn and I'd be able to take a shower for the time being, which is what any common-sense person would do.

    At first, I wasn't aware that American Home Shield covers these things. But when I called and explained the issue to them, they said that was one of the covered items. But when the techs came, they said I threw away the acrylic thing, so I was missing the piece. But I told them that I was not going to hold on to a piece that was defective and broken. I also didn't know that I had to hold on to the piece. Then they asked how were they going to know what they were going to replace. I told them they could simply check the valve stems and find their match. We did previous work on one of our older bathrooms and as a plumber, they know these things. In the end, American Home Shield denied my claim because the way the tech reported the situation made it as if the piece was missing, that I tampered with the system somehow, and that got the claim to be denied. But that was not what happened.

    That pissed me off because they're plumbers with experience and common sense would tell them that these things break. So, it's not like I did something. If anything, American Home Shield should commend me for at least trying to get the thing to work. They shouldn't just turn down my claim because I took the extra mile of spending my money to get the shower to temporarily work even though I have the warranty. Other than that, the techs changed the tube that makes the water heater hot. They took out one of the bottom tubes and said that that one was defective and they weren't getting a reading from it. They said that changing that one tube would address the problem, but I'm still having the same issue. The water heater is still not staying on hot enough. Within 5 to 10 minutes of being in the shower, the shower starts getting cold. So, the water heater is not functioning properly.

    Overall, American Home Shield covers things. It's just a headache getting things covered and no one wants to do that. They shouldn't use nonsense technicalities to deny a claim because that's not right. In the beginning, my experience with them was so great. I've even referred several people to them.. But the claim process is not the best. I had a couple of electronics that went bad and one service request took almost half a year to get done. It was just a runaround each time and eventually, you sort of give up. And when it really starts to bother you, you try again.

    For example, I had a TV that went bad, but that TV was not in their system. So, you call one department and then that department doesn't know what to do or it's not the department that handles TV. So, then they transfer you to another department who also doesn't handle TV because the TV is different from the other things that are covered because the home electronic is covered by another company altogether. So, it's mostly the claim process that creates the issue. One department doesn't understand the other department's responsibility and it becomes a cluster when you're trying to make a claim. But when a claim gets approved, it is approved to my satisfaction at most time. Despite that, I have seen that American Home Shield is in the top, but it seems that other companies get higher ratings and I have been looking into those.

    I've been with American Home Shield for a year and a few months. I recently had an issue where there was some snow getting in through a gap in my roof, and they had a man come out and do a great job. He fixed it right up quick. My experience with the contractors has always been excellent. It's the app and the customer service side of things that have been subpar. I've never been able to log into the app, and it's incredibly difficult to get transferred to the right department for my questions because the phone tree is insufficient. Plus, sometimes when I go in, there's a situation where the system is so convoluted that they can't fix an issue without being able to do the thing that they can't do in order to fix it.

    Most recently, when I tried to log in, I got an email from American Home Shield saying that I had to pay a service fee, which I thought I had already paid the day before. I took a look at it and followed the link. It took me to the website and I could not log into the website using any password. I tried to reset my password. It did not recognize my email as being attached to any account. This was the email that they have always communicated to me with and I don't have any other email that it could be under with them. I called the customer service number and there was no way to get through to the department I needed on the phone tree. It kept dropping my calls.

    For me not to be able to get through to anyone and for them to not know what department to send me to is typical for the phone tree. So, I did what I always do. I called the number for the sales team because they always answer that number. That's the only way to get through to customer service. I told the sales team what was going on and they transferred me to the correct department in customer service. I explained the issue to the woman, and she said, "Looks like you don't have the right account number listed in your profile 'cause we give you a new one every year when we renew your contract with us.” This was something I was not aware of because as far as I know, I was not sent a new account number, although I might have missed it in the mail.

    The woman from customer service said, "What you need to do in order to fix this is you need to go to the website and log in." I said, "Okay. How do I do that when I can't log in to the website?" She didn't seem to understand 'cause at the same time, there was a glitch happening with the website where apparently a lot of people were having trouble logging in. She said to wait and try again in a few days. She seemed to have forgotten the fact that I couldn't log in at all because it didn't recognize me as having an account.

    As for the repairs, sometimes it takes a little longer than I'd like to get somebody out to fix something, but I understand that contractors are often in high demand. I understand if I have to wait a week, but sometimes it ends up being more than a week and a half. If someone is considering whether or not to get a home warranty, I definitely would go for one, because it has saved me a lot of money as a first-time homeowner. I had an appliance break within the first year, which I ended up not having to pay anything to have it replaced because of having the home warranty. I would've been out hundreds of dollars if I hadn't had it.

    I have seven homes with American Home Shield, and doing claims online makes it simple. Information is there. Each property is set up under its proper account. The only thing is you can't get through online. You got to go through all automated. It's also very difficult to get some person in the United States that speaks English that you can understand. So, I do everything online.

    I recently submitted a claim to American Home Shield. The dryer was making a very loud noise and the washer was leaking water. The claim was for my house up in Claremore, and since I did it on a Sunday, somebody came out by Tuesday. It was fairly quick. The tech was able to take care of the dryer. He found four issues with the washer, and he wasn't sure they were going to agree to it. It took about three additional days but they decided they could either fix it or they'd replace it at a certain value. They could give a list of washers or give me a certificate to Lowe's for the amount of money. We looked at the list and picked one that was close to ours. The date they were saying it was gonna be delivered was within four days, and it came in earlier. They called and asked if they could deliver it. So, the process went well.

    I recommend American Home Shield. We've been with them for three years now, and it's taken about three years for them to understand that all of the contracts need to be sent to my home address and not to my renters, which I never end up getting. They finally got that squared away this go-around. Every year, it's a game. I have to renegotiate because there were no claims, and they go up in pricing.

    I was having problems with Sears Home Services who came yesterday. They had a window at 10:38 and they said they were on their way. They showed up at 3:30 and the driver made nothing but excuses like he had to turn around or somebody wasn't home. I didn't buy any of it. Then, when he was putting the part in, he said he didn't have the tool to complete the job. So now, my refrigerator is completely dead. They want to order another part and come out again. But it would be the sixth visit. I emailed American Home Shield Member Services that they said I could communicate with by email and I've not heard back. They also claimed that I canceled the service call and that I have a part that I didn't have, but they didn't even specify the part.

    So it's been a real nightmare with American Home Shield lately. They got their pros and their cons. But their communication and the follow-up are very poor. I have called them as well and told them that if they aren't going to resolve this and do the right thing, then I'm just going to go through the Better Business Bureau and let them handle it. They're really nice when you talk to them, but there is no action and I don't know what to do. It's been a month and my refrigerator is not fixed. Two technicians and five visits and they're still not fixing anything. What gets me is you can't even call Sears Home Services and you can't get a live person with American Home Shield. It's all AI and there's no way to talk to anybody.

    The people that we bought the house from included one year of American Home Shield. Lo and behold, we hadn't lived here a month or so, and the hot water heater went out. They replaced it, so we preferred to keep them. However, the most recent claim with the AC was aggravating. The heat didn't work with a heat pump so I had to choose AC because that was my only choice. It's not really a furnace, it's a heat pump.

    The first guy that came out said it was an electrical problem. Then an electrician came out three or four days later and said there was nothing wrong with the electricity. I asked to get a second company to come out instead of the first 1 who told me it was an electrical problem. That created a little confusion. American Home Shield assigned it to Lowry Heating & Air, the second company, but only as a second opinion. They couldn't fix anything. I called and tried to talk to them three different times, and all three times it's somebody I know whose English is a second language because I could barely understand them sometimes.

    Lowry Heating & Air came out and the guy said he replaced a fuse in it. A few days later, it went out again. The guy came back and said the thing that plugs in on the disconnect box wasn't seated all the way or it come loose. I seated it and made sure it was tight and completely seated, and everything came back on. But a day or so later, it turned off again. I took a voltmeter and sure enough, there was no power coming out of the disconnect box going into the air handler. I pushed on the plunger that makes the connection, and it started back up so I called them back. They came out and the guy came with a new disconnect box. He removed the old one and replaced it with a new one, and it's been fine since then.

    Several years ago, I opened a ticket and asked American Home Shield if I could get Lowry Heating & Air assigned? They said, "We don't show them in your service area so we can't assign them.” They assigned it to somebody else in northeast Columbia in South Carolina, and it's over an hour away from here, so it didn't make sense to assign it to somebody that's over an hour away versus somebody that's 10 minutes away. The guy did a good job, but Lowry Heating & Air is 10 minutes from me. This time, they let me use them.

    Considering my 21 years of experience with American Home Shield, I would recommend them. The monthly premium and the service charge for somebody to come out have gone up, but we're probably broke even. There were some years we hadn't called them at all, but you get to a year where the air conditioner or a washer or a hot water heater goes out. Overall, I'm happy with them.

    A gentleman from Wright Refrigeration came out and did everything he was supposed to do. For this claim, I called American Home Shield over the phone and the person I talked to was good. However, sometimes it's hard with their customer service. Sometimes it's easier when you have more of a more fluent-speaking person.

    American Home Shield is good when they're good. You can get things repaired. However, when we know something is broken, sometimes it takes longer for someone to finally say they will replace it versus constantly constantly repairing the same thing that you're calling about. A couple of times, they ended up reimbursing me for the $100 that I paid. But that was after I voiced my concern that I had called for the same issue multiple times within a certain time frame.

    I'm not happy with what American Home Shield decided to do with my stovetop. I was with them before but they did something I didn't like. They didn't honor a part of the contract, and now they're doing it again. I have a stovetop and one side burner went out. I filed a claim for it and the repairman that came out said my fans aren't working the right way. I have a downdraft to my stovetop and the bottom of the downdraft rusted out. But that has nothing to do with the stovetop which was what I called for.

    Since the repairman said that it rusted out, it was preexisting problem and American Home Shield didn't honor it. Now the downdraft has nothing to do with the fan which I didn't call about. I asked for a manager, and they gave me one. I asked for another one but they wouldn't go any further. They didn't even have to touch the fan because we know how to work that.

    The first contractor that was assigned to repair my toilets never responded, so there was quite a delay in transferring the work order to the second contractor. Then they didn't have the necessary parts so there was a further delay for ordering parts. I was a little disappointed with the overall response to my claim. All of the responses that I've had to claims so far have been very slow.

    I also discovered that I had to submit a second claim to repair the second toilet. Neither repair took more than a few minutes but I had to pay for two claims and it was quite a delay, which causes me some alarm with respect to how prompt would be the response if I had a genuine emergency. These toilets were not leaking on the floor. They were just running. I just kept one of them turned off for a couple of weeks and turned it on occasionally to use it.

    Other than those, the repairman was good. When I asked him to look at the second toilet when he came out, he said he needed separate work order. But he looked at it and recognized that he needed to order a part, so at least there was some efficiency in that respect. But it was an extra interaction to establish the second work order then wait for parts that apparently were not in stock locally. They were very helpful and prompt when they got the part but I have no idea why a part for a bulk purchase store toilet would not be locally available. Another thing is doing an online claim with American Home Shield is a but tedious. It would be more convenient if I just had a phone number.

He ordered a part and was here for two hours struggling to put the part in, but that didn't fix the issue. Then he told me he had to go home and do some searching and figure out what the issue might be. That did not increase my confidence. It confirmed what I suspected, that he wasn't really qualified to operate on the appliance that I have. The other thing is after he came out, I've been having power modulation issues with the equipment. He might have messed something up further by replacing the part that he did. We've got assigned another company but haven't come out yet.

    I've recommended American Home Shield to my mom who lives on a fixed budget so that she doesn't have to worry about big expenditures. But for someone that doesn't have those issues, I would tell them stay away from American Home Shield. I got them a couple of years ago. We live out in the middle of nowhere and at the time, it was hard for us to spend time and figure out a good contractor of any issues that we were having. What we were hoping for was this would streamline that process for us, having a network. If anything came up, we'd be able to, ideally, quickly get it taken care of.

    However, with American Home Shield, it takes forever to get something fixed whenever we have an issue. Also, I can't always trust the companies that they send out. In a case like this, they find me another company if I have issues. But that just increases the amount of time it takes for me to get my issue resolved. I've had quite a few situations where I might go months without my issue being solved, just because it takes them that long to get me the right person here.

    Submitting the claim online for the dishwasher that wasn't working was easy, however my experience with the American Home Shield vendor was terrible. There are a multiple follow-up emails and they would send me random emails with no contact information. It only had a one line sentence. Every time I called, I got a voice mailbox.

    Go ahead and sign up with American Home Shield. I've had a satisfactory experience with them. When submitting my claim, besides me not trying to figure out is this furnace, gas, or electric, it was easy. However, it's frustrating to have an issue and I have somebody that's supposed to fix it, and when I call to find out what's going on, nobody knows anything. I'm big on communication. I wanna know what's going on, where we are with this.

    I had a little frustration with the communication piece from H&J to American Home Shield. When I asked about the updates, they told me that I could contact H&J. My rebuttal was, “Why do I need to contact them? They work for you guys. They work for you. They don't work for me. I pay you. You pay them. It's not my job to make sure that they're updating and see what's going on. It's your job.” I didn't hear anything back, so I called another day. The next person that I spoke with was very helpful. She said she didn't see anything, but she would escalate it. And if I didn't hear anything from H&J within 24 hours, to let her know.

    The next day, I got a message from them, from her escalating it. It was a loud noise coming from my HVAC system. I know what the piece was. I wasn't home when they came. My husband was, and he couldn't tell me what they need to replace. All he could tell me was they had to order a piece. And once the piece is ordered, they'll come.

    The piece gave out, which was not producing heat in my house. But once the issue was escalated, I got better communication from H&J, and once they got a date that the piece would arrive, they set up my appointment. They kept in touch with the messages, letting me know what time my appointment was scheduled for, what time my contractor would arrive between. They communicated when the contractor was on his way, so after they got the piece and the communication piece got together, everything was okay.

    I would find it helpful if, on the website, when working with contractors, if it's something that cannot be fixed immediately and it's a piece that needs to be ordered, if that could be noted on the app, so that way I don't have to question what's going on. The updates via the app save time with me having to call and speak with someone.

They have great communication, giving you heads-up about as far as coming out there, and they fixed the problem in a very timely manner. The only one that took more than a day or two was a water heater that I had to get replaced because the tech had to go order it and pick it up. I love American Home Shield.

Then the second tech came to fix it finally on Monday and he was much better than the previous tech. But the refrigerator is still not cooling. So they're having to come back to see and hopefully, the third time's the charm. I would tell friends and family members that they should explore American Home Shield.

    I sent in a claim for my oven. The same problem happened last year with the same oven. I called American Home Shield and they had Sears come out pretty promptly. The gentleman came out, looked at the oven and he did test. He was in there for about 30 minutes and he was checking electrical things like if the sensors were good. He thought it was the valve that was not right. So, he ordered a valve. Then when they couldn't do it, they put it in though because it had to do with the gas. So, they were gonna have to have a plumber come out or somebody that was licensed to work with that.

    I had another guy come out who works for Appliance Repair Service. He had been out here last year whenever we had to fix my oven. He was a very nice guy. He said, "No. It can't be the valve because if it was the valve, you wouldn't even have your burners on top of the stove." Last year, they replaced the burner and the igniter. He said, "It's got to be that igniter. Because you're getting gas to your stove or you wouldn't have the capability to cook on top of your stove.” That made sense to me. So he ordered the other two parts and said they were gonna replace those. He said, "If they ordered those and they're not factory parts, they won't last long enough." So he ordered the parts and he told me they came from a reputable company that made good parts. It's been working just fine. He was really awesome.

    Sometime earlier this year, my refrigerator quit. A guy came out from Sears. He barely pulled the refrigerator out, looked at the back and said, "Oh, we're gonna have to order you a new compressor." He ordered the compressor and when it came in, another guy came from Sears to put it in. But he told me, "I'm not really sure that's the compressor that's what's going on." So he checked something else and the issue was a relay switch. He happened to have one in his truck. So he fixed it. If that first guy would have checked anything, he would have been able to find out that it was the relay, not the compressor. But he didn't check anything. He just looked at the back of the refrigerator and said, "Oh, the compressor." But it wasn't. We wasted a week and a half waiting for those parts to come in. We had to keep food in a refrigerator outside in the shop. It was a big hassle.

    The experience depends on what service technician you get. That's the deal breaker right there. It's who you get to come out, whether it's a good experience or not. If that guy would have fixed that the first time on my refrigerator, if he'd have taken the time to check it really, then it would have been a much more pleasant experience. But he did not. Also, I don't like the price that I pay for American Home Shield. It's $90 a month and then I have to pay 125 for the service call. American Home Shield is good to have. But it is pricey.

    This is my second time with Amerian Home Shield. I had left them because their prices had gone up. I was with them for eight years. I went with another home warranty company but I didn't like that other company. What I didn't like is the fact that when they send their contractors out, I had to give the contractors my card number. And I'm like, “You didn't get paid from the warranty company?” Every time I call for a service to be done, I don't want to be giving different contractors my card number. I wasn't used to that because every time I call American Home Shield, they just take it out of my account as usual. So, even though that company was cheaper, I ended up going back to American Home Shield last year.

    When I do a claim, normally, I call it in on the phone. Sometimes, if it's busy, I just use the automated and submit my claim that way. They tell me who's coming out. And they ask me, “Is it okay?” The automated system asks, “Is it okay to take the money?” It's quite simple. I prefer that versus the other company.

    I have a claim for the refrigerator and Sears was sent. Sears has to come back out because the ice maker works but it's not dispensing out the ice. The water comes out but for some reason, the ice is not dispensing. It makes the ice and the flap opens up, but nothing comes out. I don't know what the issue is.

    With Sears they always give you the time frame of 8:00 to 3:00. That's a whole working day. I can see a three- or four-hour time frame. But a whole day? You mean to tell me I have to be here at my home? If they say, “Okay. We're coming out between 12:00 and 2:00 or 12:00 and 3:00,” maybe I can have a partial day at work and leave work early. But to have a whole day, I can't be doing that. Sometimes, they’ll say, “Well, these are the dates that we have available.” So, they don't have that many technicians? Maybe they are biting off more than they can chew and they need to hire some more technicians or stop picking on jobs.

    I talked to American Home Shield. They've been great with the whole situation. I’ve been telling them that I prefer to just communicate with them, ‘cause at this rate, I think Sears sucks. And I told them, in the future, I don't want to see this contractor to come out anymore, that they send someone else. And they made a note. But being that they started the job, someone else had to again come out to look at the refrigerator, and they wouldn't charge me even though the issue still is not fixed.

    Sears didn't communicate with me that they were waiting for parts. They have my email and phone number. They can tell me the date and time that they're coming. And then they wouldn't come because of a missing part.

    One time they came out, the guy moved so fast off the porch. I was in the bathroom. I was like, “Is there somebody at the door?” He rang the bell, and knocked. But I had the water running, so I didn't hear him. By the time I got up, I looked at my phone, I tried to call him and he was just riding on up the street. He grabbed his bag and was gone.

    I called Sears, called American Home Shield to say he didn't wait at all. I had experienced that with them a couple of times where they just didn't come when they were supposed to come. And when they came, he was gone with the quickness. The fourth time, I had the front door open to make sure that he knows someone is home.

    I'm not experiencing any bad problems as far as AHS is concerned. I can communicate with American Home Shield. It's the bad communication with Sears. A couple of times, I was able to speak to a representative with Sears but most of the time, it's automated system you're speaking with and trying to get appointments. At some point, especially when you keep going back and forth, you need to speak with someone directly so things can get taken care of, versus an electronic machine. So, I wouldn't recommend Sears to anyone.

Recently, they called me up and wanted to do an inspection of the heating and air conditioning system. They were supposed to get back with me with an estimate to replace everything but I haven't heard from them about that. But as far as the contractor, they were great. Also, my claim for a dishwasher went very smoothly. The contractor was incredible as well.

    I lived in Mississippi and I was living in Louisiana. Sometimes American Home Shield has problems having a vendor that can come do the repairs. They're limited to the number of vendors that they work with in certain areas. That's my only complaint. Sometimes they don't have a vendor and you gotta find somebody. Then it's difficult to get the job done because they gotta submit an estimate and American Home Shield has to approve it.

    I had a claim for a heating issue and working with Home Shield was easy. Working with the companies they sent wasn't so easy though. From the time I submitted my claim to the time when I finally got heat was about six weeks. Home Shield sent out one company and these guys said, “Oh, it's working fine. It's showing that you're getting heat,” but I wasn't getting heat. Then they said they weren't certified to work on my system, so then Home Shield sent out Fast Response, and they sent out a young guy who said it needed a part. It took them a little bit over a week to get the part.

    Somebody else came out and installed the part, and after that, it warmed up a little bit, so I didn't have any issues. When it got cold again, I wasn't getting heat. Whenever it got cold, the temperature dropped in the house. The guy who installed it said to contact him if it doesn't work. So, I contacted him via text and he asked me for my address. After that, I never heard from him, so I called American Home Shield and I told them the issue was still happening. They contacted Fast Response and said they were gonna send somebody else out.

    I waited all day on a Saturday and they never showed up. They didn't call me to say they weren't showing up. I called them again on Monday. It happened two more times where they said they were coming and they never showed up. They finally showed up, and the guy installed whatever he installed, and I do now have working heat. It was a struggle, but we finally got it done. This is my first time using Home Shield, and they were great. They didn't charge me no matter how many times somebody came out.

    I submitted work orders online to American Home Shield for a faucet repair and another one for a drain stoppage. There were bugs on the website but after a few submissions, I knew what to do. I received the contractor details but there was no option to request or avoid specific contractors. The contractor that came out told me that the repair was not something they could fix on site that same day and then, the repair orders were not covered by the home warranty. So, I called some other contractor to have things dealt with.

    It wasn't clear why the repair wasn't qualified for home warranty and it took multiple days to schedule the initial appointment, only to be told that this cannot be fixed, which was quite disappointing. Later on, I had an unpleasant exchange with the owner of the business. And on the second repair order, they weren't able to fix it either.

    The water heater was leaking. It was putting water into the drywall around it, and it was leaking down into the garage. AG Plumbing came out the next day after I filed a claim with American Home Shield and looked at it. They said that it has a crack in it and was all rusted on the bottom. It needed to be replaced, there was no fixing it. They'll be coming to replace it next week. They told me to keep the towel near the wall and if it gets worse or it completely floods, to let them know. They were knowledgeable and great at communicating. They're top quality. It's a good call to get American Home Shield. I like the reassurance of having it.

    The fourth air from the vents down in my living room area was not coming out strong. I knew it was the ductwork because I got a friend who works with HVAC tell me what was wrong so that I wouldn't get taken advantage of. I reached out to American Home Shield and since I have the highest tier coverage, it covered it. I called American Home Shield on the 29th of December. They texted me the next night to tell me that somebody was coming the next day at 10:00. That didn't sit well with me because they did not even give me an option to say yes or no. I actually couldn't be there at that time because I had already told somebody else that I would take them somewhere. So, I texted them back and asked why they were texting me late at night to tell me that somebody was coming the next day. I also told them that I couldn't do that next day but I could do January the 5th. They rescheduled it to January the 5th from 8:00 to 12:00.

    It was 12:45 when the repair guy got here. He was in there for two minutes. When he came in, I told him that the air wasn't coming through. He said they don't do ductwork. I said, "Well, why are you here? You don't do ductwork. This is what I need." He asked where the thermostat is. So, I showed him where it is but I also told him that I don't have any problem with the heat. He asked where the furnace is, went down the basement, and he said there was nothing he could do. I was livid. So, I called the contractor and left him a message. The next day, I got an email from American Home Shield about a second opinion. I didn't need a second opinion though because the first service wasn't right. The owner of the contracting company called me back and told me that there was nothing they could do unless they tear the house up. It didn't make sense to me.

    Long story short, I still had to pay $125 and nothing was done. I got tired of going back and forth with it. This was not the first time I had to go back and forth with them about a service. I'm scared to get rid of them. I actually got rid of them before for something similar to this. Then once I did my research, they were the better one and I need something in case something happens, so I got them back. It's just that this most recent experience was not good. Going back and forth with them and getting my money back was like fighting a losing battle to a degree.

    American Home Shield is fine. Their app is handy and I like how it gave us status updates. It was just the plumbing service that was assigned.

    The original service claim was for HVAC and the technician found a leak that explained why there was no heat on the second floor and fixed it. When he repressurized the system, another pipe burst, so he fixed that too. He told me the heat should come back in a few hours. The technicians were courteous and professional, but the original problem wasn’t resolved. My tenants told me the next day there was still no heat. I had also submitted a plumbing claim preemptively because there was water, but the main issue was HVAC. That original HVAC claim was closed when it shouldn’t have been.

    Platinum Home Services came back under a plumbing claim, even though it was the same technician and he told my tenants it was an HVAC issue. That resulted in another service charge, which shouldn’t have happened. It’s resolved now, but only after the technician came back and burped the system because there was air in it. There’s a strong chance I’m being charged for two service claims when it should have been one. And that needs to be resolved.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for almost four years now and this kind of problem doesn't happen often at all. They're usually good with this, and even the techs that come out are too. There's only been one tech ever that it was like pulling teeth, but American Home Shield doesn't have much control over its vendors. I called because I needed the microwave above the range fixed. The technician told me it was a two-person job and said he’d try to find someone. It took two months just to get him in, and during that time, I kept calling American Home Shield because nothing was happening. They kept telling me the technician would contact me, but he never did unless I contacted him first. I ended up calling him more than 20 times on different days just to follow up.

    After weeks of this, I told American Home Shield to please take him off the contract because he had already held the job for three weeks, which should have been more than enough time to get someone out. This is the longest time I've ever seen anybody not take care of something, when usually, it takes 24 to 48 hours. I always eventually get someone out, but it took me doing my own contacting and constantly following up with this guy. Every time I asked American Home Shield to cancel him or send someone else, they said nobody else in the area could take it and it kept automatically going back to him. They said they had to give him 24 hours to respond, but he never did, and weeks kept going by.

    AHS suggested reimbursement, which I didn’t have time for, so I ended up calling the contractor every day. Eventually, he said his best guy was back from vacation, and the next day the job finally got done. These were one-off issues and for the most part, I’ve been very happy with American Home Shield.

    My last two claims with AHS have been absolutely disastrous. I had a dishwasher that had to be replaced because it could not be repaired. When the replacement was delivered, they said they couldn't install it because the flooring was up against the old dishwasher. So, I had to pay someone to come and take care of that and pull out the old dishwasher. Then I called to tell American Home Shield that it was ready, but it took more than two weeks to get someone out here. Someone came, installed the dishwasher, and got all finished. Then he hit the start button and it wouldn't run. He said there was something wrong with the dishwasher and thought it was the pump.

    So, I called again and said that the dishwasher wasn't working. American Home Shield told me to contact GE because that was the appliance brand, and it would be under warranty. I called, they came, and it turned out that the technician who had been here originally had not turned the water valve on. And that was all that was wrong. So, he was very incompetent.

    Then I had a very similar situation with the washing machine. AHS sent a company out and they said the starter button needed to be replaced. They said they would call me when they had it. I was without these appliances for over a month. When the tech came, he installed the new starter, hit the button, and it wouldn't start. He then he pulled out a meter and checked. He said it must not have been the starter. It looked like I was not getting enough amperage through the electric. So, I had to wait for an electrician to come out and another week went by.

    When the electrician came, he said it had to do with one of the fuses in my box. He also said that I should replace this box because there could be a spark and it might cause a fire. I asked if he could do that and I was informed that AHS would not replace that box. So, I dealt with the electric company directly. They were called Fix It and they said they would do it. They gave me a price then they asked me for a $1,500 deposit. I told them that I was really hesitant to do that until somebody came out and actually started this work. But they said they always require a deposit and that I shouldn't worry about that because they were affiliated with AHS and they were reputable.

    When we finished that conversation, I gave them the deposit over the phone on a credit card and they said they would send me a receipt within the next five minutes. They also said they'd call me later that day to schedule an appointment. But that was over a week ago. I waited to see the receipt and it never came through. I finally called the technician and he said he'd get in touch with them right away. So, they sent me a receipt by email but I haven't heard from them since. I'm going to call today to cancel and ask for a return of that deposit.

    All in all, I don't think AHS has quality service people. I am in real estate and our company is affiliated with AHS. I am going to have a discussion about this at our next meeting because I have had other clients that I have persuaded to sign up with AHS when they purchased a property, and I have heard negative things from them time and again. And now, I've had my own direct experience, so I know what they're talking about.

I tried getting ahold of American Home Shield, but I couldn't get ahold of anyone. I finally got ahold of someone and they said I could request a payout. AHS just wouldn’t tell me how much the plumber charged them and I felt he ripped me off.

    With my first claim with AHS, the plumber dragged his feet. He also didn't submit the right paper. I was without hot water for an eternity. I was thinking I might wanna cancel this ‘cause I can't wait for stuff like that. But, I'm one of the few who has benefited from AHS.

    I don't enjoy American Home Shield. I filed a claim for our dishwasher online, which seems to be the preferable way, and it's sufficient. However, the contractor came eight times, maybe more. It dragged on and on. I didn't know if it was AHS or Sears, or a combination of both. Sears would come out, do a diagnosis, order a part, come back to put the part in, next person. The third guy ended up being the one. We called each other cousins by the time, because my dogs got used to him. It was ridiculous how many times it went. They would replace a part, and the next one would come out. They would say, "No. Wasn't that." They replaced another part, and have to come out and put it in, and it wasn't that. We did this whole merry-go-round. They started replacing parts they already replaced.

    At one point, the tech said, "They have now spent over $1,000 in parts." They could have replaced me a dishwasher that would reach into the sink and load the dishes itself for $1,000. It's insane how long it took. That seems to be sort of the pattern of my experience with American Home Shield. Everything we do, it just drags out. We had an electrical issue three years back that went on and on and on. We did six weeks with almost no electricity in our house. It was insane. I gave up and hired an electrician myself for $2,200.

    I would not recommend AHS to a friend. I always call them to ask, "When does my contract expire? And is there a penalty if I cancel it early?" I've had them for years, but I'm ready at this point to figure out what else is out there because I paid too much. I pay $160 a month, and $100 for the first fee. With this dishwasher thing, I had to pay another $160 dollars. When they first started ordering parts, I could've just gone and bought a new dishwasher myself.

    We've had American Home Shield quite a while. We were with them then we left and went back to them again. This last go-around, we've been with them three years. When I need to submit a claim, I reach out by phone. Initially, I go to my little folder to find the number that American Home Shield tells us we can call, then I speak with someone and let them know what's going on. It's easy to speak to someone and they're not always bad, but this time, it was terrible. We had an issue with our unit, and they kept telling me that for whatever reason they couldn't find anyone.

    One of the ladies I spoke with said that she would get approval for me to find someone and have that company invoice them. She came back and said she'd gotten the approval. However, they did not allow me to do that. “But you have to wait,” she said. It was a mess. A week and a half went by. My husband is sick, and it was hot. We were thinking about going to my daughter's until something was done. I threatened to drop American Home Shield, but I didn't. American Home Shield was going to send someone out after a week and they said that the gentleman was going to call me. He called and said he'd be out that afternoon, but he wasn't. The next time, my son called that gentleman and he said he had the flu. The day before, he told me he would be out that afternoon.

    In speaking with my son, American Home Shield found Keeping It Cool Air Conditioning and the owner of the company spoke with my daughter and told her what time they would be out and had her take a picture of the unit. Overall, Keeping It Cool Air Conditioning was absolutely excellent and I cannot say anything negative about that company. They were very good in every way.
