I liked American home shield so much because they always want the best for their customers and what I like the most is that I can get protection regardless of the age or appearance of my covered items

Derwin Courtney Glen Allen, VA

I have had Home Shield Warranty for nearly 20 years. I have had to use there services a couple of times over the years. They were always Great. Until last year. My hot water heater went bad. I called them, they sent out a guy. He looked at my water heater and stated it needed to be replaced. He stated he would be back in 4 days with the new water heater. 4 days later I called him. He stated he forgot about it. Then he told me he would pick it that day and there would be an additional charge. he stated they don’t make enough money from American home shield to cover their time so they needed to make extra money and it would be an additional $250. He wanted to replace the 2 flex pipes to the water heater. I asked him why that they were not leaking. He stated his boss wanted to make extra money. I told him I would not pay for nothing. I called American Home Shied. I told them what had happened and wanted a different company to come. They said I would have to pay a second copay. Or I could do a cash out. I took the cash out. Had a reputable plumber come out. They came out removed the old water heater put in the new water heater and only charge me $150 said I did not need those flex pipes replaced. I would not recommend American Home Shield because they do not police there subcontractors. Once a subcontractor tries to rip out customers they should fire them for being dishonest to the customers.

I don't usually purchase home warranty services but American Home Shield is the one company that I am happy to purchase with. We used them recently for an appliance repair job and the service tech that was sent out was great and very professional. I understand that these services might not always be a value add but in my case I think its worth it.

I had AHS American Home Shield warranties with two homes for over 15 years. They approved all my claims and they provided great service. They were easy to access online to file a claim. The only the reason I gave four stars is because they raised my deductible twice during that period of time which made me switch to another company.

I hate that AHS and I had a falling out. This was the best Home Warranty company. I would have given it 5 stars but the issue between myself and their vendor was not resolved properly. The A/C company filed to identify the issue causing the water spot in my attic. When it was finally discovered, I had a hole in my ceiling that should have been repaired by the company but they refused andAHS didn’t stand up for me, the consumer.

Got this home warranty included in the home purchase, rental property, by the agent. It was only for one year and i did have to use it once for a stove that died. Service was fairly quick and the service was covered. Never had a chance to check the limits of the warranty.

JAMES Pensacola, FL

I don't mind the 54.00$ a month, but the 100$ cost per problem is a bit much. It started out at 75$ when I started with them, but now the cost is higher. Sometimes the company is right on top of the problem, other times it takes several calls and the company coming out will easily take one to two weeks to schedule a visit time.

Carol Dreiling Wichita, KS

I originally liked the idea of AHS providing reputable companies to complete repairs. However, not being able to select a company turned out to be the biggest detriment. I still had to contact and follow up with the company and AHS. It took one company 3 months to fix the ice maker in my refrigerator after they installed and uninstalled a part in the refrigerator, that should have been placed in the freezer. Another company assigned to check electrical issues never called me back and I contacted AHS 3 times over a 3 week period before my repair was re-assigned to an electrical company that had done prior work at my house. I did learn who to call and who not to call, but the cost of the warranty was not worth the hassle.

It is a good to use. They nickle and dime if they have to replace anything. We had to get a new water heater but we had to pay 600 dollars for all the connecting parts to it. They use some really shorty contractors. Lot’s of times I will check the reviews on that contractor and there will be terrible reviews on them. I’ve had to change contractors multiple times.

They are great on small items like Disposals but anything large - not so much. HVAC - constant small repairs - technician from 75 miles away. They refused to repair. Washer/Dryer combo - Tech told me right out that they would decline to repair due to costly part. So he left without fixing. I called to complain and they assigned the same guy who never showed. I called to cancel my membership and the guy was very nice - talked me out of cancelling and would send repairman without my paying my deductible. Never heard from them again!

There are many hidden conditions to gain services. They make it appear that all you have to do is pay the cost of the policy and the service fee when to file a claim and everything will be repaired or replaced by American Home Shield. That is not true. They do not fix plumbing problems that occur behind d the wall. Nor do they replace dishwashers that can be patched in order to have you call later and create another service call and change.

Someone has to have bought AHS recently. This is the third time I have used them and they is being generous. They constantly set expectations with a promise that you will be called back tomorrow or next week but of the four times I was told I would receive a call I have gotten zero calls from them. They did eventually cancel a ticket w/o telling me though. My first interaction involved someone that refused to transfer me to a supervisor when it became clear that they had no idea what they were doing. They put me on hold hoping I would hang up. I watched a movie with the phone on speaker until then hung up after about an hour. Local contractors have been good once I actually get connected to one.

Saved us money on some repairs. Worth it when included in home purchase. However, many of the contractors they use are not very good and you can't choose your own service company. Had to insist on a different contractor twice when the first two failed to fix the problem and it was a bit of a hassle. We did have a couple good experiences, as well, though. Replaced a broken stovetop with no arguments.
