I had my washing machine broken, my dryer and my A/C all of this in the same month. I got a new machine-dryer fixed and a pay out Funds toward a new A/C. I had a 2nd option on the A/C who didn’t agree with the 1st AHS gave me no problem and took the 2nd opinion. So I am well please how they handle 3 big jobs in the same month

I have had mostly good interactions with AHS warranty. They have been really good about fixing the items I needed repaired/replaced. They have some miscommunication, and I have had to call multiple time to make sure things were on track. I only give them 4 stars because of those couple minor issues.

Susanna Ross Albuquerque, NM

I've had an account with them for years. In fact, moving from CA to NM and purchasing a new house in 2021, I purchased a new policy as I've always been happy with their service. My complaint, however, is that I was paying $54 initially for the Gold plan, and that has been raised to $60.99 in the past year. Still not bad. However! They got a bit sneaky and billed me $76.99 this month. No warning, no email, no snail mail, nothing. So I called this past Monday, 27 March, and spoke with Nakita, who I advised to cancel my account, and that paying almost $80 per month for a mid-tier plan is nuts. Of course we went through the whole spiel that she would look into getting the cost reduced, blah blah, and after being on hold with her for 10 minutes or so, she comes back on the line and states that she had escalated my inquiry to another team and would get back to me that same day. No surprise, I never heard back from her. For a service that I've had for years and have been paying into for years, who used to offer great customer service and communication, not only did the level of service go down, but they increased the price on it as well, without even letting me know!

So far everything is going good to get the new dishwasher. Sorry it took so many visits before AHS decided to give me the new one. The garage door spring should be here today. They had to order a heavy duty one. It has been a week now with my car having to sit out. No bad storms thank the Lord.

I was very impressed with the way things have been handled. There was no push back when I had to have my furnace/ac and refrigerator replaced during my time with AHS. However, I left because the costs were ever increasing and I wanted to reduce my policy costs.

DOMINICK West Long Branch, NJ

So far I was somewhat disappointed on my first repair request on one of my two properties after the company denied repairs after paying the co-pay which was a total loss. Since then the company has delivered on two repairs which has improved my favorability. The platinum contract does allow for the company to pay or replace certain appliances but I had additional out of pocket expenses which the company told me it would be my expense. Which was surprising because the platinum contract should have covered the whole replacement cost.

Been with you all for years and now when i need help it turns out so terrible. This is week 4 with no AC, and living in Houston is not acceptable to be without an AC. As your customer, why am i the one having to call you for a status? So much miscommunication in your departments, so unfair. I was layed off from my mortgage career and even though money is not there i find a way to pay you every month, why can’t you all help and go above to help best you can? This SUCKS

The company provides good timely service, this is good. The bad, they will always repair with minimal cost to them. Service companies they employ are not well versed on what is covered or not and will solicit more business outside of what is covered by AHS.

American needs to employ vendors that are trustworthy and professional. I have dealt with some horrible vendors coming into my home. One vendor tried to get money from me and did not do the work so I hired my own plummer and paid out of.my own pocket and american home shield would not refund my $100 hundred dollars deposit. I'm really considering ending my contract with them. I reported the vendor and nothing was done about it. Because I found out the same vendor was sent to one of my neighbors and the vendor again tried to get money from my neighbor. American home shield needs to really reevaluate the vendors that they use.

I am very disappointed with AHS. 80% of the Customer Service people are incompetent. Especially when you get people from India. They have no idea what they are talking about. They cannot help with anything. They cannot escalate any issue you bring up. On the other side the AHS itself is doing everything possible to get you pay out of pocket for your claim. Plumbing issues for example are almost impossible to be processed in your favor. If it is not something very simple that will cost them $100 top, it will not be covered. Example: A pipe within a wall, that has been there for 30 years, leaks. According to the "experts" they send you, this is due to: Company 1: Improper gluing. Company 2: Shifting of the foundation of the house. Of course, one of these are considered by AHS, as "Normal Wear and Tear". And we end up paying $1200 in repairs out of pocket. The companies that AHS works with are 99% of the time, with very poor ratings and unable to assess the situation. It is like they have a list of predefined causes for everything, and know this will not be covered by AHS and AHS will be happy and will hire them again. So far for 5 years we have never had a single case when one company will come once and fix the issue. It is always back and forward. Second opinions. Unnecessary repairs being done due to incorrect assessment. In summary, this is a ridiculous business.

Leak repair great!! Great plumber!!!! Sheetrock repair sucked, guy didn't have proper tools, always came 6-10 hours late. He was a hack. Nice guy but wrong job. does rough finish mean I have to sand and re-mud sheetrock before I paint? He ran out of joint tape but still continued? when I sand it down I might just re-due it, I don't want it cracking at the joints.

The reason why not 5 star is because only 1 time . The technician said he couldn't get my washer to do what I said. It was the seal in my washing machine that was bad and leaking all over my laundry room. Never got fixed. It's still doing the same thing but I took photos of all the water and the code on the screen.

I give AHS 4 stars because of my most recent experience with their customer service. It was the worst that I have experienced in all of the years that I have been a customer of AHS.

I like the service I received for the DRYER. Don't like that the other item, WASHER wasn't repaired, regardless if the prior tenant (now deceased, had dementia/alheimers), tried to repair it. forthe amount charged forthe monthly service and the fee charged for a repairman. I believe it could have been replaced with another washerlesser plrice.

I have been very disappointed with the company called Appliance RX that home shield has sent to my home… It has been almost 3 months we have been without a cooktop and oven that works correctly. Appliance RX also said they fixed the refrigerator that is still broken. I’ve tried calling them to no avail finally got a hold of them and they have canceled on me three times after taking vacation each day. I have tried talking to home shield about these people. They are not a good company. If you want to know the whole story, give me a call.

FAZ Sarasota, FL

I’m very unhappy with my recent service request. The plumbing company they sent gave me the “run around” and gave incorrect info to AHS and said negative things about AHS to me when I confronted them. Then I spoke to AHS and they promised to have the repair done and then promptly reversed their position one day later when the tech was supposed to come. The AHS rep obviously promised me something they could not deliver and then reversed what they said. I’m an unhappy customer, not because they did not fix the problem but because because of the unprofessional way I have been handled by AMS and the company they sent out to look at my repair issue.

My last repair for a water heater was misdiagnosed. Wind Bender Mechanical came back and realized the leak wasn’t from my water heater. They then charged me for “wiring replacement “ which was 2 new wire nuts for 168.00. They also tried to charge me for the permit fee for the tank. They will never step foot in my house again. All previous repairs have been great.

i fell that the last two events at our home were not handled the way the company has done business in the past. allowing a company to come several times and not get it right and replace the item in question. the last event, the ac replacement, they forgot to repair the heater and not even leave the old one. The company was aware , but did not let us know. very poor communication between AHA and the client.

I also did not like having repairs denied because “if it’s not broke, we don’t fix it” when something was clearly not working correctly. I would add a request: PLEASE require vendors to provide a LEGIBLE document to homeowner after a service appointment. The document must clearly state what service was performed, what parts were replaced, and what products were applied/ replaced/refilled. If service was denied, the reasons must be clearly explained on the document. We should not have to sign something we cannot read, nor should verbal communication be acceptable. An example: bathroom sink fixtures leaking at base. Repairman said he would have to do a computer search back at his office for the right specifications for the replacement faucets. He said he would let me know what he was able to find. When I later followed up on this order, the office staff informed me he had written that the customer could not demonstrate the leak for him - on the BACK of the original service invoice!! Since this was a multiple page form, I had no record of his notes on my copy. And so no repair was completed.

The monthly fee is reasonable and the technicians are knowledgeable. In particular, I was impressed by the fact that the refrigerator repair tech knew a good deal about my Kenmore even though it was an older model.

There are a few times that American Home Shield met their commitment. Most of those happened many years ago. They will rarely fix things that they will take a loss on. By the time you pay your deductible and add a months payment, you will probably break even. The people they contract know exactly how much home shield will pay, so they charge exactly that. Over the past six years, my $600 dishwasher has probably cost $3000 in repairs. The $100 deductible I paid each time would have bought me a new one. Like all insurance, they are betting that you will pay out more than the insurance company does. In there case, they will ensure that you do. You are actually paying everyone else’s salaries and taking a loss on your investment. Oh well, things have really gone downhill in the past year, so I guess you have to do whatever it takes to keep a business from going under.

Simply put if you have simple problems it will get fixed. Just not in a timely manner. My sewer was backed up toilet over flowing causing water damage in the basement. American did set an appointment with a plumber but they couldn’t come out for days. I call a different company they had a plumber there in an hour. This is not the only time this has happened. My family has lived without Air conditioning for a week or more waiting on their people to come fix it. Overall if it’s not an emergency it’s fine it will get fixed on their time.
