My first claim took 2 professionals to complete. I had to pay 2 deductibles. The second claim was not completed. I tried several times to call, but the only answer was that they were waiting on the diagnosis from the company. They never returned my call. The last claim was for my freezer. It took them 7 days to come out. We lost over $350 worth of meat.

Rodney Hairston Alexandria, VA

I have been a customer for a long time with American Home Shield and have had excellent service up to my last ticket. My refrigerator went bad, and AHS had Gary Appliance Report Incorporated come to my home. They could not fix the problem and said it was the condenser. No, I'm four days into losing my food in the refrigerator. AHS contacted another Service representative, Brooks Appliance Repair, LLC. They said they would have to order the parts to fix my refrigerator. Now, I have to wait another week or two. I had no choice but to buy a new refrigerator. AHS should have taken care of me better than they did. I will keep both refrigerators after the old one gets fixed. I'm a little disappointed in AHS

I'm a huge supporter of AHS however I was not pleased when it came to my AC system breakdown and AHS did not cover the repairs. Per your own commercials you cover AC systems and that is not completely truthful. If that had been true, you would have received 5 stars.

American Home Shield in itself has good response to our needs, however we have had experience with one plumbing company who is difficult to contact and basically are non-responsive. On the last service request I ended up arranging for a different plumber who was prompt, courteous and great service.

Often it has taken too long for service, i.e. waiting in the heat of summer for A/C parts to arrive at the service company, the. To have the wrong part arrive. Recent washing machine repair has been much better, although it was a warranty issue of the previously installed part, and we had to pay AHS normal service fee.

I would have put 5 stars but I’ve been without a washer and dryer for weeks. AHS says to call the company and make an appt for install. I call total applicance and they claim to not have any idea when AHS will send the parts over and will not make an appt with me until. Total Appliance has been their own nightmare. Calling and then cancelling appts bc they are closed that day or looked at the wrong customer’s info. Just a mess

I think it's ok. When we started we had a monthly rate and every year you have gone up considerably we are at a high monthly rate. I do not understand how you go up a lot monthly ever year. I have spoken very highly of American Home Shield to many people who talk it down, I have gotten people to change their minds and given the company a chance, now I feel like a fool. the last two years I have not talked this company up or suggested anyone to use it. if this is how you do business I thin its terrible. our monthly rate has gone up almost $75. additional dollars from where we started. so I'm thinking that's how you make your money. keeping fingers crossed going to watch what happens.

i’ve been a customer for over a decade. 1. i don’t care for the fact that you can’t request a preferred vendor based on past experiences; 2. not enough items are covered; 3. when replacing an appliance, AHS leans towards the least expensive instead of matching as many specs as possible; 4. customer service specialists don’t always understand. my last claim was denied and it took too much of my effort to get my deductible refunded.

It's a good warranty to have . You have to lay $100 for any service visit. I found my most recent interactio a little difficult because I could not reach a live person. They deal with a variety of service vendors so you're not always receiving service from the same vendor which I would prefer. Appointment scheduling is not bad.

Your system took my credit card information over the phone and has to accept before I can get service for a claim. I get an email today for service I had completed the week of Christmas stating I owe $100 and that it was due January 8th. That was two days late. Have no clue why I am getting this so late but have no clue why the prompt when calling in takes my credit card info and approves when I called in before christmas. Service was done December 26th. You need to get. A need to get a better system. When I called to get the $100 paid today, I was told they will unfreeze my account. So my account was frozen for a system you use that is faulty.

In the short time I was with AHS my fee was raised twice. The last raise was substantially more then reasonable. $62.99 total. I was told it was because the contractors raised their fees. I had to change home warranty Companies because of the fee increase.

When my policy renewed, it was significantly higher than the prior year and I called to cancel. I was offered a retention incentive that reduced my overall annual expense to the same amount as the prior year. However, I just checked my account and none of the promised adjustments were made; the most recently payment is still the same, higher amount. I liked my service until this issue came up. I am now considering cancelling my policy. I hope I can get it resolved soon but it will take more time out of my day to connect with customer service, which is very annoying.

We are in a rural area with limited service providers. When we need service we may have to wait a week or more before your service people can come to our area. Then we wait a week or more for ordered parts. It’s too slow of a response. Then if a the repair doesn’t work and a part isn’t available you want to rebuild a part. Again this is a huge inconvenience for people in rural areas. It could be a month before the appliance is fixed. Not acceptable. All of that to avoid replacing an already aging appliance.

Way too many plumbing issues where American Home Shield does not cover the problem. You’re then out $75.00, with a plumber asking you for 2 to 3 hundred dollars. Then you’re stuck - if you decide to get another plumber, it’s $140.00 for a house call, plus repair costs. I’ve had AHS deny a plumbing claim for a toilet repair because the plumber said there was minor rust in the tank. All toilets have minor rust, in a porcelain tank.

So far so good. The people sent by AHS to do requested work are professional and capable, and get the job done. My one small beef is that I wish I could be contacted more quickly. A garage door co. was supposed to be open 24/7, but did not call me until the weekend was done, even though I had called in the problem on a Saturday morning.

Truthfully, the customer service sucked the first two times I attempted to call in the middle of winter. I was told that 36° is not cold enough for me to have an emergency call when there is kids in the home. The empathy from the customer service sucked. I had requested a manager, and I was ridiculed for even requesting one. In regards to the contract if I know or knew what I know now I probably would’ve never done it.

I have been with AHS for years and this was the worst experience yet. On 9/20/22 made appointment for my A/C not cooling. On 9/22/22 Doctor Cool showed up at 5pm. He said it was a relay, however my A/C was making a very loud metal noise in my indoor vent. He ordered only a reply part so came on 9/24. This technician identified 3 other parts Blow Motor etc. The office called and said they have to fax AHS because as of Jan'22 the parts have to be purchased from their vendor and shipped to them. I live in Las Vegas and it was 98 with inside temp 89. I am 70 and this was so hot I had to sleep with a spray bottle. I have ceiling and floor fans. The parts came in but still had to wait until Oct 1st for the technician to replace them this was now 12 days. Customer service horrible, I called 4 times 2 of which I was left hanging on phone for 20 min. Still can't get direct answer why parts can't be purchased locally like they were in the past.

I obtained a policy with American Home Shield almost a year ago. I have friends and family that have policies and they rave about them! My AC went out the only thing it needed was coolant which is the only thing that’s not covered. My husband hasn’t worked in well over a year. I obtaind this policy so that in the event anything did happen we would be covered and we weren’t. I still have the policy. I pray to have better experiences in the future if/when need be.

We requested a dishwasher repair on Mar 22. It has been eleven weeks and we still do not have a working unit. Six techs from two different contractors have seen the machine and today a third contractor was assigned. No one can fix it, but AHS refuses to throw in the towel and offer a replacement. Setting aside the countless hours lost to appointments, how much patience is expected of us customers? This prolongation strategy cannot be cost effective for AHS either. Is anybody minding the store? We had another experience where an AHS plumber offered to fix a leak for $7K over and above the AHS allowance. We found a licensed contractor locally who proposed an effective alternative for only $2K, and his solution avoided another minimum $10K in fixture and flooring replacements! And I'm supposed to trust these guys!

Had good experience and bad. Had to have an appliance replaced took 8 weeks. Things got out of hand and the company they used to deliver it was horrible. They need to screen the vendors better. It looked bad on AHS because I pay them. They had no clue what was going on, I lost 2 days of work waiting on this company to deliver the appliance. Then my A/C repair worked out great.

I was pleased however ended up having to pay over $800 to air conditioning company because they needed to do remodifocations for the parts that needed replacing.
