So far so good. I've used them a few times and the service has been good. We had the same plumber twice and they did a quality job, I was very pleased. I gave 4 stars because a drain pipe broke in the ceiling and it wasn't completely covered, I had to pay an extra $485 to the plumber.

I’ve been with AHS for almost 20 years. They send reliable repairmen and in a timely manner. They’ve replaced my AC, two hot water heaters and are about to replace my 15 yo washer and dryer. I have no complaints.

I opened a service request at the end of November for a dishwasher that won't run because the door latch is broken. The tech ordered a part to complete the fix. The part is on backorder from the manufacturer with no estimate of availability. I've called the tech almost weekly for 3 months for a part status update. I've also called AHS four times for an alternate resolution, possibly replacing the entire door instead of waiting on the latch. Three times they told me the only option would be a full replacement, they would submit for authorization, and someone from AHS would call back with details once the claim was approved or not approved. I never received a callback. On the second and third call, they couldn't give me any information if my request had been reviewed or even sent for review. On my last call to AHS, the rep put me on hold and said they called the tech and the part would be delivered this week. I called the tech today, and they told me that they have no information on a delivery date or when the part will be available to ship. The long hold times, unclear communication, and lack of follow-up are extremely frustrating. Falsely stating that the part would be delivered this week is inexcusable. I understand that parts can be on backorder or have shipping delays. Waiting indefinitely for a part (I'm now at 3 months) is unacceptable. I regret using AHS to complete this repair and will switch to another company when my warranty contract expires. Has there been any value with AHS? Sure...creating the service request was easy, but every step since then has been tedious and disappointing.

I love American home shield, if I had to change anything it would be making phone contact. It has gotten very hard to talk to someone so they get the full story of your problem. I called once and it had a call back service. Please use that 24/7 that would be awesome.

DO NOT deal with this company. On their TV commercials they seem like a respectable company but they are only as good as the people they send to your home to do any needed repairs which I would not recommend this company because of that for there are ALWAYS out of pocket costs that we the consumer are demanded to pay on a covered item under their warranty plan. Here are some examples I had with this company, #1. Hot Water tank needed replaced. First company they sent to my home stated I needed to pay them $500 on top of the warranty. Reported this to American Home Shield (A.H.S.) who sent out a 2nd company. Replaced the Hot Water tank but charged us $155 out of pocket costs for a in line pressure dampener. I paid it before I can to realize what American Home Shield was all about. #2, Central Air Conditioner needed repaired. First company they sent out never followed up with doing the repair. 2nd company they sent out replaced 1 part but when the A/C still wasn't working right that company never returned back to fix the problem. 3rd company they sent out replaced this small part, then that small part before claiming the unit needed replaced. Out of pocket costs would have been nearly $800 where most of the hidden charges was for duct work. Central air unit was never fixed. #3 Gas Furnace needed repaired or replaced. Hidden cost would have been $670 and again the biggest hidden cost was for duct work which A.H.S.claim they cover duct work in their warranty plan which looks good on paper until you need the work done, then its a out of pocket cost. #4 Refrigerator needed repaired, sent a repairman to my home not once but twice and the problem still is not fixed. So I stand my ground that A.H.S. is only as good as the people they contract to do the repairs, so if you do take the risk of dealing with A.H.S. have your checkbook ready to pay for many hidden out of pocket costs. In closing, if you do try to call A.H.S. to talk to them about any issue expect to be placed on hold sometimes up to 45 minutes or talk to someone that barely can speak or understand the English language, and if they claim they will call you back, don't hold your breath because seldom will they ever return your call. WE as the consumers can do better and expect more than American Home Shield.

Quick to collect, poor with follow up and non-responsive to inquiries that needed "escalation". Asked for service fee to be waived on a dishwasher repair issue that was diagnosed at a previous visit, but not addressed and then required a second (they called it a "new" service request). Rep could not schedule service without collecting fee, promised a "decision" from management within 24-48 hours. Three months and several calls later it's still the same: "someone will call you within 24-48 hours". They won't call - it's a scam. They also have coverage caps and restrictions that make it nearly impossible for them not to recoup any service expenditures. And, if not cancelled within 30 days of renewing, you owe them the difference! Speaking of cancelling - they make it very difficult to cancel. Called main 800 number; after peppering me with questions about why I want to cancel, he discloses he can't cancel - it's a different department... and they are closed... . There's no way to cancel in writing on their website. A number listed to call for cancellation is "999-999-9999" - seriously! That's what it says on their website! Obviously that number doesn't exist because they want to make it as difficult as possible for you! My only reason for posting this is the hope anyone reading this doesn't fall into the same trap as I did!

The good part: good coverage for all my appliances at a reasonable price. The not-so-good part: I have had several experiences in which AHS refers me to a contractor who no longer has a contract with AHS, or who does not provide services in my area. In addition, some contractors do not call me to set up a service appointment, or who do not return my (repeated) calls to set up a appointment. Most contractors however are prompt and efficient.

Being waiting on installation of appliance for a while. I had to call multiple time to try to get someone to Install it. I held each time for 1 hour and 39 minutes just to be told to reach out to my service person. I have called the assigned service person 3 times a day and countless messages and have not been able to reach anyone yet. So know I have to call AHS and hold for 1.5 hours to let them know. Happen often. So frustrating. AHS does not contact you to see have you been serviced!!

Use them if you like to gamble, but I never will again. Called them 6 days ago to service s hot water heater. They took $75 for the service fee, A contractor came out and charged me an additional$200 because I tinkered with the wires them called himself fixed it. The next day, 12 hours later it died again. They called them back out as I waited for 2 days with no response to my pune messages and emails. Am agent refused to give me another contactor until I kept calling and got someone to help. A contactor came out the next day on a Friday and said he needed confirmation from AHS to do the work. I called the company all day that Monday and they said he never contacted them with a request for approval. 7 days after a service request, $275 later, and still no hot water! Would you continue your business with them?????

Warrantee limitations are not clear in contract. For example: If your ceiling fan spins but is so noisy that people cannot sleep in the house they will call that "normal wear" and will not fix or replace. Also, AC repair is limited -- you willl pay out hundreds out of pocket to replace refrfdgerant for your AC. Customer service is weak. Customer service will generally waste your time as they cannot usually make any complex discussions. expect long hold times. For anything complex, you will need to specially ask to contact someone in the ESCALATION DEPARTMENT. Online service request tool does not permit asking questions; live chat not always working or useful. Major appliance replacement takes weeks not days. Do not expect help with anything that would be a proactive repair...if your 20 year old AC lines are corroding and about to dump a bunch of old CFCs into the environment, this warrantee will not help until your system leaks/spills into the environment.

They don't have enough company's that they work with to have someone come to fix a problem in a timely manner. I have had a power outage since Sunday and it is now Thursday had to pay a hotel all these days besides losing all groceries. Someone came Wednesday left an today Thursday and turns out the whole half of the house has no power still and all the lights are flickering and very dim. I have paid over $1500 in service fees not counting any out of pocket expenses due to their lack of follow up and accountability. They take forever to send someone and if the company is booked with appointments you're basically stuck waiting for days because they don't have other options to meet customer demand. I never know any diagnostics on the items requested for service. Everytime that I request service each time I have to call back for a recall because the job is not completed or the problem fixed. This is so frustrating, expensive and inconvenient! Horrible service.

I have used my American Home Shield on two instances. AHS is pretty consistent, the reason for 4 stars is that some of the contractors are better than others. Get a good contractor and parts are on hand the service is a 5...... get a situation with a bad contractor and it averages out quick.... AHS does a good job overall

Sometimes quick and awesome, sometimes takes FIVE MONTHS to complete a dishwasher request. We survived, obviously, but having a non-functional dishwasher on top of having a brand new baby who needed bottles, and a toddler was extremely difficult. Add to that that no-one's installed it for us, it kind of negates all the good work that's been done aside from that.

Ive been a customer for over 10 years and have been satisfied with the service until this year. The wait time to speak to someone regarding existing orders is at least an hour, EVERYTIME you call. The representatives from the Phillipines etc are cordial but do not help me. They listen patiently, say they will check the problem and return my call. No return calls, so I'm back on the phone for an hour. HELP! I've been tryingo to get a DW fixed since the beginning of June. Sears came, ordered parts and I've been patiently waiting for the second part of arrive. It's now been over a month without my DW. They say the part is difficult to find. It's a 3 year old Maytag.

We've had AHS for 12 years and have been very pleased with the service. However, it does take a long time to get an obviously un-fixable appliance replaced. Understandably, a few tries from a few companies, but multiple calls to AHS and multiple companies with double digit tries is extreme. Once the decision was made for replacement and I was put in touch with the correct people, AHS was prompt and helpful.

Right now, I am very set with America Hoome Shield. Since May 20th, the technician was out 5 different times to repair my wash machine that is still not working. he replaced 2 drive boards at 2 different times, machine is still not working, The last time out, he said he would call to do a cash out. I called AHS, several times, stayed on hold for each call, from 45mins, to 1 1/2 hours to speak with someone. ask to speak with a manager or supevisor, that never happened. Last call was today, After staying on hold for over an hour, spoke with a person that called the contracting company, and was told, someone will be out on Thursday to place anoother board. so now what if this one doesn't work. I pay AHS every month on time. I feel like I am getting the run around. I am 81years old, and having to go out in the Pandemic to wash in veryunsafe.

Luis Parreira Houston, TX

I've called AHS for 4 different appliances. 1 appliance (AC) things went ok. The other 3 have resulted in multiple visits without a good result. The kitchen faucet had almost no water coming out but the water line feeding it was fine. AHS refused to fix the faucet because they don't fix water pressure issues. I had to go get a new faucet and install it myself. The fridge issues have resulted in multiple visits always for with same outcome. Fridge works well for 2 months and the issue comes back. The technician was always straightforward with me (that it isn't a permanent solution) but I can't get a different answer from AHS besides pay 75 dollars again and have a fridge for another 2 months. The last appliance to not be fixed is the water heater. Twice I've had technicians come over to just (reset the water heater and call it a day) which I have done myself multiple times, but this fix is obviously not permanent. The last time I complained a little more and I was told the unit needs to be descaled and to do that, they would need plumbing changes and AHS didn't cover that (over $900) and here we are (I'm not sure they are wrong). The bottom line is: you get AHS for convenience, peace of mind and to be protected from unexpected expenses, it just doesn't deliver.

Minor issues are resolved quickly but anything that takes the course of a few weeks there is not great follow up. I’ve been on hold over 6 hours total in 2 days just to speak to someone about my issues. Was hung up as well which caused me to start over.

G Miller Norman, OK

we were introduced to AHS when we purchased our house in 1993 and the seller provided a year policy. At that point, we'd never heard of such insurance. It seemed like a good idea, and it was quite reasonable, so we renewed it the following year and have don so annually every since. The first few times we needed to call on AHS they were supportive, responsive, and followed through as one would envision should be done. Over the intervening years, the price has increased significantly but more importantly, the ability to get a satisfactory response, not with the companies with which they contract to provide service, but with AHS itself. It has become more adversarial with AHS throwing up barriers and placing ever more limitations on the coverage ( which, of course, is probably somewhere in the fine print but not what one envisions when considering such coverage). Just placing the call starts the gastric juices flowing. And, by the way, talking to a human is virtually impossible. Not my idea of customer service.

Lupe Mora ,

I have been with AHS for 3 yrs, never used them till now. My air conditioner was not working when i got home. The temperature in my house was 88 degree. I called them and spent 2 hrs on the phone with them, that is, after I had to wait 35mins before I could get someone to assist me. The rep gives me the phone number to a company, I called them. they were not contracted with AHS. I had to call AHS AGAIN and wait AGAIN till someone could assist me. They could not find a company to come out and take care of my problem. He told me someone would get back to me. I finally found a company that serviced 24hrs (which is what AHS advertise and don't comply) I called them. He was at my home in 1hr and fixed the problem. Bottom line, I'm cancelling my account with AHS. I paid AHS for the month of June and I had to pay the company for fixing my air. NEVER will I do business with AHS again nor do i remomment it.
