VERY RESPONSIVE. We had our refrigerator fail and A/C fail on the same day. I filed two separate claims with AMS and their responsiveness to providing us with contacts for competent service techicians on the same day was outstanding. We are back up and running. Thank you AMS.

Renee Chandler Franklin Park, IL

Created service request for my washing machine on Dec 11 was contracted to Whirpool who subcontracted to another company, they came out the following Thursday 12/17 and deemed the machine unrepairable due to parts no longer being available, they sent update to Whirlpool and myself and AHS that evening via email, I called AHS more then 5 times over the next few weeks to see what the delay was only to be put on hold each time for over an hour while they tried to reach whirlpool to see why system not updated yet; being a customer for over 20 years this was a complete shock to go almost an entire month waiting on resolution, being forced to pay to use laundry mat in the interim and during the covid pandemic when trying to avoid others. Only reason I'm giving a 3 and not a 1 is because this is the first time I've had an issue with the service received.

If you are only using them for appliances repair/replacement that is good. If anything major goes wrong like furnace plumbing electrical or roofing give it up. Our furnace went out and the price to replace it was $2800 as it couldn't be repaired, they are paying $700 on a buyout. Nothing it you are going to let the repair company replace it. If I was going to let them replace it it was still going to cost me $2800. My electrical system is bad. Started tripping circuits and the guy came to look at it and said it needed to be replaced and that AHS WILL ONLY PAY FOR MINOR REPAIRS. This is crazy! Why wouldn't the replace it?

When I had an issue with one of my bathroom faucets I called AHS, they responded quickly with the repair service information, I was contacted by the repair person who scheduled for the next day to come to my home. Once the repair person arrived they were very professional and replaced both sink faucets so they matched.

The technicians who did my repairs were on time, efficient and very skilled. However, the schedulers repeatedly ignored my washing machine final repair requests! AHS was extremely bad in scheduling a follow up appt. to finish repair on my GE washing machine once the parts ordered by the first technician arrived at my home. It took me 15 phone calls to AHS before they finally sent a technician out to finish the work. The tecnician was excellent, the scheduling through AHS was horrific. I thank the lady who took my last call and at long last got GR scheduled to finish the repair. I spent 2 months with no washing machine because AHS did not do their job. Extremely frustrated. However, other repairs on my refrigerator were easily scheduled and repaired.

There are many warranty programs that make you feel like you have to jump through a million hoops to get help with your issues but AHS was not like that at all! I'm already stressed about what's going on at my house, I don't need to worry that the program I pay for is going to make that difficult. AHS gave me true piece of mind.

I have had only one experience with them and it was very good. I have friends who say they won't be without them. This rating applies only to my very limited experience. A cost-benefit is in order and the outcome would surely be determined by the going rates for repairs in a specific area.

They promptly respond to my calls. However, I needed three calls for repair on an appliance. After five weeks, the second repair company had still not repaired the issue and a third company was sent as a replacement to get the repair finished. And I am not going to continue typing a "review" in this format! Re-design an easier way to submit a review or this will be my last one.

Our hot water heater sprung a leak and was flooding our garage. American Home Shield connected us with an excellent plumbing service and had our water heater repaired very quickly.

Nice coverage except for a few exception regarding Fire Alarms. But hold times, online options for listing things in detail are lacking. Transparency with what the vendors write is not seen and this is a big negative because they often are not thorough in checking the items and sometimes DO NOT get the list (so they claim) then they leave and walk away. Because I do not see what they report there's no way for me to challenge them unless I call and wait for 45-1 hr to speak to a rep. Please update this important step. Otherwise I am very happy with the customer service rep's professionalism and friendliness. AHS has done an amazing job training the fleet of rep who answer the phone and alway remain pleasant and professional and helpful. Thank you.

You recently sent someone from SSEC in Sierra Vista AZ to my house to fix an electrical problem. They came out quickly and told me they had "fixed" the problem. I was happy and I rated them a 5star rating. It was premature. Later that day, I realized that the guy had fixed NOTHING!!! After 6 more trips back to our home, my husband helped the guy fix it. Don't send anyone from SSEC to us again, PLEASE! Rate them 0!

It's been really easy to put in work orders, and for the most part the companies they've contracted with have been timely and reliable. Unfortunately one time there was a communication error with a contractor and they never showed up for their scheduled appointment. The status of my work order was that the company had tried to contact me and couldn't (which wasn't true). In this situation, there was no good way to contact AHS to fix the problem. I had to cancel the work order and restart

Because they do not reach out to the customer. For example my property manager calls to schedule a service but then tells them that I have to call to authorize the transaction, which is fine, but why is AHS not calling the landlords right then and there instead of having them call to be on hold for an hour to get through. Also when a transaction didn't go through and the service is canceled why is AHS not reaching out to say that your transaction didn't go through can we try again, I have to find out from my PM that found out from my tenant. People as taking time off from work for services for AHS not to catch it before an appointment is canceled is unacceptable. It's bad customer service.

Anything I needed to have repaired it was done. However, trying to reach out to AHS over the phone is an ordeal. You can't speak to who you need to speak to and no one calls you back. I've been trying to reach the CIL group for over a month and a half to no avail. Plus before you can ever speak to anyone who can't help you it will take over 2 hours on hold before you ever get to a live person, who won't be able to assist you and will transfer you to another number that will take another couple of hours and if they answer one or two things will happen (1) they won't be able to give you any answers, and (2) they'll pick up the phone and it will go dead. As far as the contractors they hire that can be questionable.

Very responsive for arranging repair person. We had two cases: 1) dishwasher repair completed via one repair person; 2) refrigerator was a nightmare because it required an authorized GE repair person, eventually had to have firm that installed it do the repair and pay them ourselves, but we were reimbursed. HOWEVER, THEIR RENEWAL RATE IS A HUGE INCREASE OVER THE RATE FOR FIRST YEAR. WON'T RENEW AT THAT RATE.

I've only been a member/subscriber for last 4 months. I've requested repair service on 2 separate system and/or appliance needs in that 4 months. Everything has worked as advertised by AHS in both incidents. Smooth as silk in client's reporting of repair needs, AHS's scheduling a repair service provider, AHS incident follow-up, and AHS's wrap-up processes. In adfition, the services providers performance in both incidents has been sterling.
