The biggest problem is the quality of the service technicians they use where a lot of them are terrible and they continue to use them in spit of numerous complaints about the quality of their work and instructions to not assign a particular contractor to any request for service and it happens anyway. On the positive side, they have replaced many appliances and other home systems like our hot water heater(more than once) and pool heater, and other items that come with an old house that can pay for the cost of having the home warranty.

I'm not happy with the service provided by J&L Plumbing & Air Although I paid $150 for a wayerheater drain pan and drain pipe, they didn't install a drain pipe. If there is a leak when I'm not home it will go into my shed. When I asked the pro who provided the service said I can but a piece of hose etc. ? And the wayerheater J&L Plumbing is a base model of a cheap brand.

We love the service, someone is assigned to our requests quickly. We've had very good service for most of our appliances. The only problem was pool repair, we had a leak in our pool heater, the contract stated it would cover it but they wouldn't after several attempts and reviewing the contract with them. The support person (a manager) could only say they were told it wouldn't be supported, could not explain why that was opposite of what the contract clearly stated. I could have sued them over this.

Ann

I am a Real Estate agent and offer the warranties to my clients however the past year I have had issues with the contractors that have been dispatched. The Co Climate Masters was TERRIBLE! I had no A/C for 2 weeks in the middle of a heat wave and they were not responsive. The office did not return phone calls or text messages. They didn't show when they were supposed to install. After I googled them (Awful reviews ) I tried to get AHS to reassign it but they would not. I was able to get a cell phone for one of the techs (it was listed on google as the office #). Once I had the techs # he got things scheduled. After install (3 months later) my electric panel kept tripping and of course Climate Masters wouldn't return phone calls so I put in a service request for a new service call. Once the electrician came he said the HVAC wired everything wrong. After speaking to other Companies I have discovered the AHS does not pay them well hence the shitty Companies. I also cringe when I have to call AHS as I can't understand the CSR and they cant understand me. Not only that the constant apologizing they are required to do is so annoying. Takes up precious time so make it STOP. I have 2 warranties for 2 houses and I WON"T be renewing.

American Home Shield Representative told me you ordered a new Carrier Brand 4 ton gas Furnace. They sent a unit with crane ECO TEMP. This is not a Carrier brand nor manufactured by Carrier. It is another company that I understand is a subsidiary company of Carrier. I’m disappointed that someone in American Shield sent me a unit from another brand that you told me you ordered for me. I have been a customer of American Home Shield over fourteen years and have always received what you said until this time.

Works well about 50 percent of the time which is pretty poor for any product or services. The other half of the time, so many things can go wrong. Takes a long time to book an appointment, either first appointment or follow up appointment. No response to understand outcome of the first checkup. Coverage is spotty. Get a quote to fix things after checkup with no explanations. No response to get more details. The quote to fix is usually way more than if I just had it done through someone on yelp.

This is our second time having AHS on a new house. The first time we had very little issues getting work done, items fixed. This time one appliance has been fixed with now issue but our biggest concern and problem item continues to be an issue. We’ve called the company out twice. Having to pay out of pocket hundreds of dollars only for the issue to still not be resolved.

Deven

Although interactions with agents have improved, I still need to follow up on certain promises made. For instance, I recently had to follow up to inquire about a recent dispatch that was not coded as a ‘second opinion’. The agent reviewed the notes and confirmed that it should have been (indicating their adherence to service notes, which is commendable). However, they failed to fulfill their stated obligations. Given that the dispatch was intended as a ‘second opinion’ and the second vendor did not identify the same issues as the first vendor, I should not have been charged $100 for service. Earlier in the cycle, I had to follow up frequently regarding the status of my cooktop. AHS consistently indicated that they were awaiting the vendor’s notes. After one month had elapsed, AHS was still awaiting the vendor’s response. I felt that AHS could have been more proactive and, perhaps, enforced any contractual obligations they had with their vendor regarding the timely submission of service reports. Another instance is my email correspondence with Candice W. It took approximately three follow-ups before she finally acknowledged a response. Subsequently, the company denied my request for reimbursement for work that was deemed necessary. This outcome corroborated my online research regarding AHS’s denial of claims and its reluctance to consider them until legal action or media attention is brought forth.

The vendors were kind and courteous but the company is terrible-it takes 3 months to complete any job from no hot water to no air conditioning during the worst months of the summer and no oven for months -from May u til September this year-Last year during the hottest 3 months of the year my husband was on hospice and dying and we had no air-There was zero consideration about what we were going through!I refused to give in because I had paid years of premiums and it was the responsibility of AHS to pay for it!I have decided you hold off hoping the customer will just hire someone themselves and the reimbursement is a joke -the 2 stars received is for the service guys that actually were trying to fix the problem and kept getting halted from AHS

I’m so glad we have this protection plan — this is our 2nd claim in 4 years that’s resulted in an appliance being replaced. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I wish AHS would speed up the process a bit — the administrative side of the process is slow.

I dislike the fact that they have outsourced their customer service function to the Philipines. Many of the agents you deal with barely speak understandable english. In addition, they are more interested in reading from their script than actually listening to your problem. I also dislike that AHS has only one contractor in the entire Milwaukee area for heating and air conditioning services. I like that some of their contractors are able to schedule a service visit timely.

When it comes to approval of items AHS find excuses not to cover and contractors work for them and write things in favor of AHS, and force customers to pay non covered items even items are not bad to ripping customers and AHS and their contractors are very dishonest. Some contractors don’t give you any appointments for weeks and parts comes they do the same come to fix after weeks. Contractors don’t give priority to AHS customers.

Heather

I have had to fight with AHS for every service request I've made with the exception of one. I've had to write a letter because the plumber they sent told me one thing then lied on the report he sent to AHS. AHS sided with the report, telling me they don't cover equipment that's making noise if it hasn't failed. Just two days ago, the call center rep told me my tankless water heater wasn't covered because it's installed on the exterior wall of my house. Aside from inside a garage possibly, where else does one install a tankless water heater? Now I have to fight about this. It is clear to me the company looks for ways to not cover warrantied items initially, unless it is absolutely cut and dry and undeniable. I have no peace of mind or confidence that AHS will find some way to say no. This company also outsources its call center to countries where the employees seem trained to blow smoke in your face.

JANET

They use sub-par contractors. It takes them too much time to schedule an appointment so I usually end up paying for my own. When they do show up, I have had quite a few do horrific work - the way they word it to the insurance company, they won't pay for the work. So the contractor knows I will pay - and they give me no warranty discount, so they make more money. Some of them just do bad work and I end up paying for someone to come in and clean it up OR in the case of recently, their poor work created a major water issue in 2 units and it cost my insurance company $20,000 to clean it up - when all it would have taken was a $5 new part.

Sent out contractor United Air Temp who lied and said repairs were needed on AC and refill of coolant to the tune of 1500 which was a total lie. I requested a second opinion with another contractor American Group. There were honest found no leak, no need for 1500 worth of coolant etc stated just needed filters cleaned as remodel work contractor did some work with AC on when should have been off and said needed replacement of a coil and cleaning of coil. AHS tried to lie and side with initial con contractor. I had to call over 6 times and had to request supervisor call me. Still not fully resolved properly as they denied replacement of a coil stated by Autogroup that was truly needed but approved the con contractor request for 1500 of refill coolant (which was confirmed was not needed) that I would need to fork out of pocket after they paid their portion. I’ve been with them since 2007 but this time and last time there have been issues. Wasn’t like this before. I saw they were purchased by another company and I feel the service has went down and monthly payments and contractor service fees have went up

During my 14 months of using Home Shield, I had two issues. Both of them were not resolved. This last one took the cake. I have a modular home. In repairing a deck in my back yard, I found that when they originally put in the house and installed the brick foundation wall, they failed to properly integrate the heat pump drainage pipe. The folks who put in the wall just poked a hole through the vent and set the pipe on the wall - letting the output just run down the wall. When the home shield folks sent and HVAC person, they agreed that the HVAC was installed properly at the factory and that this was a foundation wall issue. Unfortunately, that person never filed a report or responded to the Home Shield folks. So, they sent another HVAC person. He agreed that it was an issue with the wall on integrating the pipe properly. Then I receive a notice that Home Shield determined my issues was 'partly' covered and my out of pocket expense was $400. I asked them to clarify what part they were covering and received no answer. After a couple more requests for clarification, I received a phone call that told me that the service was not covered, as it was a problem with the HVAC installation of the drain pipe, which is not covered. The service was $400, and I had to pay it all. This is a modular home. The HVAC was installed in the house in a factory FAR away from my address. The faulty installation happened when the house was put on the property and they cheated when they made the wall. The two HVAC experts that appeared at my home both agreed this was an issues with the wall installation, and the HVAC was fine. They went against the advice of the vendors they hired when they saw they could get away with not spending money on a legitimate claim. I have stopped using Home Shield. All I have for using this service is a lot of headaches getting a straight answer. I'm out two service fees and all the monthly fees with nothing to show for my money other than receipts.
