Nella Bigelow, AR

I have had great success on repairs till my last request . I have put in a work order for gas furnace and I keep getting the run around that there is no one in my area . Fbr has worked on my issues before and did a great job . They are still in the area so not sure what is going on . It is 19 degrees here and I’m afraid my house will freeze and my tenants will move out .

Chad Johnson Tulsa, OK

Overall, we’ve gotten more benefit than cost with AHS. We’ve had several plumbing issues and beside the $100 fee the rest has been covered saving us thousands of dollars. However, it seems some of the companies contracted are less than stellar and we have been without AC since August 20th. I have been frustrated with the communication and lack of information about this delay.

D Dem Charlotte, NC

For the most part, AHS is a good value. Unfortunately, my hot water heater leaked. I called AHS for ER service as my heater is in the garage, which I paid extra for ER service. AHS was unable to find someone so they advised me I could use my own contractor. We were out of town, but a friend knew a plumber who agreed to come over the weekend. When we returned home, the problem was fixed. I submitted my invoice and was then told AHS needed to approve the work/cost prior to repairs and they refused to cover the cost $1700. Still upset about that.

Gail Eden Prairie, MN

The water heater wasn’t the problem. We had Apollo plumbing install a new water heater. They had come out two times to determine the problem. Apparently the problem is was the dip stick which they replaced two times and the water continues to run cold. I’m seeking reimbursement for the water heater. The plumber is coming back out after he contacts your company. Please advise how we can resolve this issue.

Jef W Frisco, TX

I am disappointed that AHS is allowing the plumbing contractor to add excessive costs to the replacement of my water heater. $765 in my costs including up charges on city permit and $90 for foam insulation. This is a $1.78 foam piece that can be cut and installed in less than 2-3 minutes. Overall I like AHS but would like that AHS works on behalf of their customers to control the pricing of a repair like this. AHS has the line prices. Customers are held hostage when in need of hot water for washing and cleaning.

The automated service system is limited; doesn't allow a full explanation of the problem being reported. I think we had one occasion where AHS or the vendor allowed us to record (video) the problem being reported. I thought that was brilliant. But our last service call did not. Vendor showed up and fixed the original complaint but noticed another issue while he did that repair. But he completely ignored the new issue and said we'd need to make another service claim. That's b.s.

Takes too darn long to get a technician to come an diagnose the problem and EVEN LONGER to resolve the issue once ID'd! Additionally, replacing an item is nearly impossible. You'd rather repair it 5 times (which far exceeds the cost) before replacing. Makes zero sense and takes longer.

I’ve been with American Home Shield for over 10 years. The companies you send out to do work on my plumbing is ok but for my appliances, not so good. The last service I requested for my washer did not go so well. They stated it was not due to normal wear and tear but due to overloading. The washing machine is 17 years old and in my opinion should have been wear and tear. Never the less, it was not fixed and I had to call the company to find out myself. They did not call back to inform me they could not fix it. The next appliance service request, I would like to have to have at least two to three companies I can choose from. Just putting it out there.

I like the fact that I was contacted right away of the Company to replace my Air Conditioner. I have yet received my new Air Conditioner because American Home Shield ordered supplies through Carrier Company and from my understanding it takes at least 2 weeks for products to be delivered. Hence, I have been without air conditioning in my home for over two weeks. It is causing some problems with my refrigerator to have to work really hard to keep up. It has been up to 85 degrees almost every day and night. I feel like instead of me paying $570.00 out of my pocket (because of wear and tear on the Air conditioner unit) The Warranty Company should pay for all of the parts and labor. Although, I pay $74.00 per month for the American Home Warranty every month. When my heater went out it took about 2 weeks (in the winter) to get a heating unit placed in my home and I had too pay $600.00 of that for wear and tear of heat unit. This is the third week without Air Conditioning so far. Date: 09/25/2023

They use to be a great company. I’ve heard many horror stories, but never experience. Recently, that changed. I’ve requested to have my service company changed three times because the assigned company cancelled and reschedule, leaving me with standing water in my dishwasher for a week. The agents refused to change companies. Not it’s time for me to change companies. I pay almost $100 a month for the past 7 years, and isn’t allowed to change companies when I have an issue.
