Instead of replacing my dishwasher, which was going to take 6-8 weeks to get the SS Tub before repair could be effected, I was forced to accept only about 25% of the cost of the new dishwasher that I had to purchase. We couldn't wait such a long time for repair.

The company charged me $100 for a service call for someone that just called me asking for a picture of the problem. I sent the picture and they said we don't cover that. I asked for my $100 back and was told no because the service call was fulfilled. I wish I could make $100 for 10 minutes of work. What a ripoff.

Many services I requested were assigned to "qualified technicians" who order parts that never come and the service request has never been completed. For example: I order service for my icemaker twice and the replacement part never came and I paid for the services. This last service request I made a month ago has not been completed nor has anyone communicated with me why this is the case.

Awful. It took AHS 2 weeks to authorize my new hot water heater. They kept fouling things up. I called almost daily for two weeks and they were all incompetent. When they finally gave the correct information to the plumber, the work was completed. The plumber has to keep calling AHS as well, since AHS staff gave the plumber incorrect information at times. I was so angry. I asked to a supervisor several times and no one ever called me back.

The contractors schedule a visit a week out. And when I call AHS to see if it can get expedited and they say wait and they'll see what they can do. Then one contractor diagnoses my ac wrong I have to wait another week for another to come out to find its something else and he doesn't even fully fix the problem. So now it'll be another week so 4 weeks without air in summer. I'd like for someone to make this right I loved the product before. But the people you have answering the phone can't speak English well and we can't communicate properly so my issues just keep getting worse

It has been almost a month that I have went without central air. You call and ask if anything has been done and its the same old thing. Its like the people taking the call ate reading off a card. At first AHS was good at sending replacement parts to the tech, but when that didn't work I was told I needed a new unit. So here I have been waiting for something to get fixed and living in one room that has a window ac in it for a month. Your company doesn't do what they advertised.

Where do I start! Always an issue getting someone out to us. Just recently our A/C went out and we were supposed to wait 2 days in 100 temps! When they did come out the unit blew up with the technician there and then we received a letter that AHS will not cover it and we are still without that unit, in Texas! In June! We have called numerous times to either wait 2 or more hours or if we picked to be called back and never received a call. Over all not happy with this company and do not plan on renewing. We have been clients for 14 years and when we finally need AHS we get the stiff arm.
