Terrible billing practices. Services calls are covered. No issue. They tend to take money from your account every 10 days. Nobody ready previous system. Never can get a mgr or supervisor on the phone or to call back

Mikias Lulseged Saint Paul, MN

Because our request for a plumber with Plumbers Inc. was a bad experience. The contractor for American home Shield never completed the job of three leaky facuets and didn't get much support from American home shield. When my contract is over I will not renew because of the bad service. I feel we were ripped off. I pay good money every month and a $125 deductible and our experience was very bad. My wife dealt with AHS over the phone and didn't get the problems resolved. This company use to be ok, but the service today is not good.

We have had a claim for our A/C unit and it was denied, we had to buy a new A/C Unit and heater (the heater was damaged when water was dripping from the A/C unit). We were just recently denied our dryer claim even though a new motor is needed. The technicians have all been fine, it is just AHS not wanting to pay for anything to be fixed or replaced.

I feel AHS uses the cheapest contractors they can find. I have to pay another $100 for service when the first service the company sent can't properly diagnose the problem

Hi Angie. Thank you for the positive review. We strive to provide prompt and dependable service for our members, and it makes us very happy to hear that we have been able to do that for you. Currently, we do not offer free estimates and when our vendors go to your home they must be paid regardless of the diagnosis so a trade service fee is due as well. We appreciate your understanding.

I have paid $125 twice for visits and AHS would not help. So, I paid $250 plus two monthly fees for nothing. Also, I got the feeling that AHS was working with my insurance company, reporting risks I should fix, but they (ASH) gave me no guidance or help with fixing issues.

1. Can't speak to a manager 2. They don't follow up to see if things went well. 3. My pool pump went bad, ands they sent a company out to fix it. They replaced it with one that isn't compatible. We haven't been able to use our pool since. It is still an issue. My jacuzzi doesn't work because the pump is too weak.

My central air and hearting unit recently needed replacing. I have been waiting on an answer about when I will get funds to assist with the cost. So far I have heard nothing. I am very disappointed with this insurance. I have paid consistently every month and not to get help in time of need is very disappointing. If this does not turn out in my favor I will discontinue my service and find another insurance.

I'm told my contract is expired, someone will call, I keep complaining that the vendor is rude and is trying to scam me out of my money. I was charged the 75.00 for the service call yet I still don't have ac. I have been with American Home Shield for six years and have never experienced such horrible service.

Have 2 homes with AHS and have been with AHS for 28 years. Over the past 5-7 years the vendors have gotten worse. It's impossible to reach management or supervisor, even sent and letter to headquarters and it was returned. Last October, it took AHS 7 weeks to decide to replace my my dryer. The process was too painful dealing with the back and forth between multiple vendors and AHS.

Poor communication. Your company, upon me canceling my contract, sent a letter saying that no more payments to be taken from my account. And then a payment was taken from my account. I was told by your customer service person that we can't really see who sent that communication and, it was not valid. Also your company charges monthly, charges for every visit, and does Band-Aid fix his problems, costing me more money

Because 0 was not offered as an option. The customer service for AHS located is loacted 1/2 way around the world. They are all reading off a script aboutthe only thing they have memorized is the phrase "I am sorry"My initial call was on June 1st, it is now July 6th and nothing has been resolved. I have determined that only way to get a reaction from AHS is going to be through the court system. Can you say "Class Action"

Filed a service request a month ago and got a tech on site in 2 days. Our air handler was condemned, and we've been given the run around for weeks since by several departments at AHS. We pushed hard for updates and an install date, and we were blown off and made to feel stupid by their phone supported team working overseas. This has taken so long we've canceled plans and renters coming in thi summer.

When I enrolled in AHS. Many many years ago, I had the understanding that when I had a issue it would be repaired correctly. Not the case, it's just patched. My toilet was not flushing and all of the insides were bad & needed to be replaced.all that was replaced was the flushing part. The chain was rusted and the flapper needed to be replaced. AHS ONLY does the minimal, nothing else.

We waited almost 3 weeks for an a.c. repair, this was during a heatwave. We are in our 70s with heath issue's and temps in 108° to 112° heat index they did not even consider escalating our issue. Finally we called and ask to get our own people and upgrade to a better system than they would put in and pay the difference. We've been with AHS for almost 21 yrs .

The company they assigned us to MYERS comfort could never get our air conditioner fixed. We were without air for 3 weeks after 4 service calls. We ended up paying a reputable company to get it fixed. They told us we need a new air conditioner but for American home Sheild to pay anything we would have had to wait another 4 days for MYERS to come and dx the air conditioner needs to be replaced.

I was charged $1600 for the AHS vendor to install my AC. No parts were replaced or used. I complained to AHS and the only option I was given was to take a cash payout or pay the 1600. I tried to contact HQ in Memphis and was always routed back to the Phippines. Congratulations AHS has perfected call avoidance. The Vendor StILL will not tell me what the $1,600 charge was for. All I was told was it was non-negotiable. I was left with no choice. Get ripped off or make my family and elderly relative live in the Texas heat without A/C.
