Ann

I am a Real Estate agent and offer the warranties to my clients however the past year I have had issues with the contractors that have been dispatched. The Co Climate Masters was TERRIBLE! I had no A/C for 2 weeks in the middle of a heat wave and they were not responsive. The office did not return phone calls or text messages. They didn't show when they were supposed to install. After I googled them (Awful reviews ) I tried to get AHS to reassign it but they would not. I was able to get a cell phone for one of the techs (it was listed on google as the office #). Once I had the techs # he got things scheduled. After install (3 months later) my electric panel kept tripping and of course Climate Masters wouldn't return phone calls so I put in a service request for a new service call. Once the electrician came he said the HVAC wired everything wrong. After speaking to other Companies I have discovered the AHS does not pay them well hence the shitty Companies. I also cringe when I have to call AHS as I can't understand the CSR and they cant understand me. Not only that the constant apologizing they are required to do is so annoying. Takes up precious time so make it STOP. I have 2 warranties for 2 houses and I WON"T be renewing.

American Home Shield Representative told me you ordered a new Carrier Brand 4 ton gas Furnace. They sent a unit with crane ECO TEMP. This is not a Carrier brand nor manufactured by Carrier. It is another company that I understand is a subsidiary company of Carrier. I’m disappointed that someone in American Shield sent me a unit from another brand that you told me you ordered for me. I have been a customer of American Home Shield over fourteen years and have always received what you said until this time.

My heating system broke down. When I called for help, it turned out that no technician was available for a week. But I explained my circumstances further, and the scheduler worked on finding me help sooner - which was great.

I like the customer service, usually like the 3rd party companies which come out, What I dot like about the pluming co was they guess at what the issue may be without wanting to do any kind of service.

Works well about 50 percent of the time which is pretty poor for any product or services. The other half of the time, so many things can go wrong. Takes a long time to book an appointment, either first appointment or follow up appointment. No response to understand outcome of the first checkup. Coverage is spotty. Get a quote to fix things after checkup with no explanations. No response to get more details. The quote to fix is usually way more than if I just had it done through someone on yelp.

This is our second time having AHS on a new house. The first time we had very little issues getting work done, items fixed. This time one appliance has been fixed with now issue but our biggest concern and problem item continues to be an issue. We’ve called the company out twice. Having to pay out of pocket hundreds of dollars only for the issue to still not be resolved.

Claim process is OK, I wish I could order from any appliance vendor I choose, I have had nothing but problems with Lowes. Now in the middle of not one but two claims because of shotty delivery and installation services and GE is now coming out to inspect what I think is a secondary installation issue. They damaged my driveway and compromised my laundry room cabinet. If you are going to award a cash value for an appliance, I should be able to shop where I want.

I submitted a repair request on the 18th of November got a repairman to come out and he told me it would take more to repair than replace. Your company was not happy with his results so you sent another company to look at my washer. Took them until the 22 nd of November to look at my washer. They recommended repair vise replacement. on 25th I called your company and you indicated the repair request for parts was not yet submitted. You call the company and then they called me and their parts department has not submitted the request for parts. So as of today 26 November I have been without my washer for 9 days and parts will be requested and it can take up to 10 more business days. To me this is just unacceptable. That is why you get only 3 stars this time.

I made a request for someone to come to my house and check an electrical issue that I’m having. They immediately arranged for an electrician to come by. I am aware that I have to pay a $125 deductible for every request, whether it is covered by the insurance or not. Basically, they don’t give free estimates. But worst than that is the fact that the electrician they se t wasn’t able to provide a diagnostic of what is causing my problem. So I am stuck having to pay $125 for someone to come to my house to tell me they don’t know. Now I’m wondering either to cancel the service or if I decide not to cancel if I’ll be charged another $125 if they send someone else to try to decipher what is causing my problem. Beware.

I'm not a fix it type person, so to be able to have something fixed rather than buy new or do without. The small monthly fee is worth knowing I can get things fixed. There is the service fee, but you would pay that to any repairman. This is fixed with the service fee. Well worth it.

It took too long to fix the problem. The repair of my refrigerator was a two-part job to get my ice maker repaired. The technician was very knowledgeable and thorough in his work. The first try did not solve the problem, but he knew the parts needed to complete the repair and was back in two days to complete the job. Good work but i was without service for three weeks.

The company has delivered mostly as promised. Initial appointments are set up pretty quickly. The coordination and communication between AHS and their service providers is not great. For example, there is no way to check the status of anything online so you always need to call the service provider. And if the service provider isn't responsive, AHS doesn't help.

Unfortunately there are no 1/2 ratings, but I would rate AHS as a 4.5 rather than 4. I have been a customer for 17 years and although the prices have increased (that is the way of business), they have held consistent with providing EXCELLENT customer service and coverage. The 1/2 star demotion relates to three issues I had which took too long (in my opinion, upwards of three months) to resolve. Outside of those three problems, I would and do recommend AHS as a great home warranty company.

Having the ability to get things fixed is great as a homeowner, as it takes a lot of worry off your shoulders. The services provided by AHS are usually very good, but I have had issues with their contracted agents sometimes due to their lack of timeliness in getting recommendations submitted to AHS, unfriendliness, or difficulty getting hold of who they assigned to work on the work request. This three-way communication can be an issue at times.

It's very frustrating and difficult to communicate with customer service individuals that are located overseas. They have a hard time understanding issues that the customer is referring to. They can't go off script and just keep reading the same answers over and over even though you are saying something different and asking different questions. After saying, I'd like to talk to a supervisor, they repeat the same script and say that the supervisor will only say the same thing as they are. Can't talk to anyone stateside. There are limited companies that can come out within 24 hrs or even on weekends when you have backed up toilets. I almost quit when they said they only had one company to serve my needs and couldn't service me on the weekend. However, the company did provide good service when they arrived.

I was told both of the old appliances would be covered with your insurance. When the evaluator came out, the washer seemed to work so he said no replacement. The refrigerator freezer and door didn't even close and the evaluator said they had been misused, so no replacement. I moved into this condo with these appliances and had to pay full price for both replacements. I am not happy with the outcome.

I think that homeshield takes the cheap and easy way out of some claims. Especially when we are taking out a top of the line system and they replaced it with a problematic and far less superior product at the lowest cost possible. The system removed from our house was a Lenox top of the line system that lasted over 30 years. The system we were provided with was a base unit guaranteed to fail in the first year. Every unit that has been put in has failed in the first few months. That information and statistics come from several reliable companies that have been working with these units. Most insurance companies are required to replace with a similar product. Home shield used to be a good company, but the cost is going up and the service is getting worse. We are considering canceling it for our duplex and have already canceled it on our private home. If home shield continues down this path, we will not even be willing to provide it for our next home we sell.

It’s been almost a year since I enrolled with AHS. I have been satisfied with the 3 experiences I’ve had. I have a new microwave, a new ice maker and a quiet garage door. The garage door was way more than I expected but it seemed correct as the repairman serviced it.

I believe the problem is on Lowes’s end, the problem is getting the item located in the ware house having it pulled processed for p/u and then finding A local company to do the pick up and installation. I would do it myself but it would jeopardize any further AHS involvement and I’m having some health issues. Help on your end could expedite. My last interaction with AHS went smoothly, I thought the problem resolved, Apparently not! Please help, it’s been months. I possible gave an overall “5” rating to to one of your specialists thinking it was the best possible. The lady did a great job

The plusses are that it is nice that when something breaks, it is covered and that AHS responds quickly with a repair service. The minuses are that it can take some time to get something repaired because AHS must approve the repair and, in many cases, provide parts from its stock of parts. This can easily take an extra week. Not great if your heater breaks in the winter. Another large minus is that they don't cover code changes. You would think that this only applies to structures, but it also applies to things like water heaters and pool pumps! The disallowed amount for code changes seems totally random. AHS does not itemize the repairs, they just tell you your co-pay is $xxx, take it or leave it.

We’ve been pretty happy with American Home Shield with the exception of a recent experience, where a repair was completed only for us to learn a month later to have the same issue occur because it wasn’t done correctly the first time. As a result, we had to come out of pocket for another service fee, which I feel should have been covered by American Home Shield due to the fact that the issue was not resolved the first time. Instead of having a blanket process of requiring a service fee if more than 30 days, there should be a review on a case by case basis to make a fair assessment.
