AHS is always prompt to assist, and helpful putting in requisition orders in a timely manner. Very helpful, and professional. I've been very satisfied with my service, and have recommended to several people.

There is a competition AHS & the contractors. Contractors have become salesmen. Contractors do limited repairs knowing there is still a problem. I've had contractors throw parts that AHS bought for the repair drown in the trash over the years with AHS.

I've been very satisfied, but I needed my microwave replaced and the model they selected didn't match my kitchen. I opted to purchase my own but had no idea they wouldn't help me in arranging the install. It's been a huge hassle, but overall, it's a good company.

Because you still owe me 100.00 for a service i paid twice for a pipe leak and never received my refund. I paid within 2 days of service. The parts had to be ordered and i thought i had to pay again because the tech came back once the parts came in.

There were two occasions this summer when we needed a/c service and they could not get someone out for several days. I explained that we have two very fluffy dogs that could not tolerate an un air conditioned house but they were very unsympathetic and made no effort to try and get us a quicker appt. I ended up calling my own a/c contractor who came the same day and I paid out of pocket.

I filed a claim regarding furnance and company that was selected by AHS - Fast Response Heating & Cooling were terrible! This company has had awful reviews from customers consistently and understandably so as they are awful. Even after multiple complaints to the company's owner and AHS. I do not understand why AHS still continues to use them as a vendor? That alone has made me question if I want to continue with AHS.

The technicians that were sent out were quick and efficient. 1 st tech recommend replacement of the dryer vs the cost of parts necessary for repair, 2nd tech sent out because they needed a 2nd opinion because of cost. Well parts got ordered and a month later parts were still on order and finally American Home Shield stepped up and offered a replacement option. Service was good, it just took to long for a resolution on this appliance. I had a previous appliance that failed and the service was very quick and efficient.

Out of three appliances request, only one was completed successfully.One was declined unceremoniously and perhaps fraudeulently ie the frigde! The main issue the HVAC with duct work was not honored after been dragged out for months and after i have invested my own money to make sure i get repair done! i already paid for the first part of the repair by self and the second part the vendor refused to come back after giving flimsy excuses a nd wrong diagnoses for over months. AHS is aware, read the notes! Even then i was given the go ahead to do repair by your rep as vendor refuses to come back and i paid $602 for it and i am yet to be compensated, yet you want to keep charging me monthly without doing your part

Your customer service department needs help. You have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They like to make sure that you don't take surveys by staying on the phone line so you hang up and don't give them a rating. If you don't hang up they will call you on another line to try to make you click over and not get the survey or transfer you to a voicemail. I have had this happen at least three times. You need a different method of getting customer call ratings cause the current method you have is garbage and flawed.

The vendors they use are horrible. They half want to work. They want to charge prices under the table to customers. When talking AHS about it they did nothing. My refrigerator still don't work. The replacement program is horrible. We have two accounts and receive no discount. Customer service has went completely down and they are rude.

Their plans work for home appliances, plumbing and electrical. Unfortunately, they decided to outsource the electronics protection plans to Allstate, and Allstate outsourced to Squaretrade, and long story short, the latter is simply a waste a of time and you won't get anything done with them, therefore, the electronics plan are no longer feasible via AHS.

We wanted one of our ac units to get a tune up and the AC company said there was a leak and claimed that it was a pre existing condition which I don't know how they could make that claim when we didn't know about it. So American Home Shield said they wouldn't cover it because of some BS that a lazy ac technician made up and we paid $100 and he didn't even do a tube-up cleaning just said there was a problem and said we could call them to fix it. Kind of disappointed that we get a home warranty and they don't take care of the problem

We had a plumber come out and they left to say they would need an authorization to fix the toilet. They never fixed the other two leaks we had in the master bath sink and tub. I called and still no one came out to fix them but the $100 was taken out of our account. Then we get a call and said you don't cover and it would be like $500 to fix it. We have this warranty to help us and this didn't help us and the bathroom is still not fixed and the other bathroom leaks are not fixed

I put in a ticket for an issue. The person assigned did not come on the agreed upon day/time. When he finally came, he cussed at me in my home. I called to American Home Shield to complain about the service and escalate the issue. They claimed they escalated it on two different times in the system, it never was. The original ticket was opened early May, 2022 - and resolved finally by mid August, 2022, after I called again to escalate it - they said a manger would call - they never did - then whomever I spoke with, maybe the escalation team put in a new ticket which I was reimbursed for and that new assigned company came out to service my house. No discussion on if that other company was followed up with and an investigation took place to find out how they can treat their customers that way. I was very dissatisfied with the service first go round and how AHS acted - took 3 months to get resolved but they kept calling me to renew my contract. Very unhappy! Everytime I called AHS, I reached someone in Asia - they could not understand what I was saying, was on the phone for 30-40 minutes every time to escalate my issue but apparently it was never recorded. Just unhappy across the board.

They are very timely. However we got a 2nd opinion after w were told it was going to cost us out of piket to repair our AC, our 2nd opinion ended up costing 185.00 to totally fix the problem. The contractors they send I think are out just for the money & don't care about the customer.

The contractor's were great; what was not good at all was the poor customer service - you explain the problem and they just kept coming back to me with what I felt like were excuses - it cost me an additional $1000.00 due to this. I paid to have something done that they said was not covered by the warranty and it made no change and due to the delays and issues all summer (literally months) I had to purchase a portable air conditioner so that we could work and sleep in our home. And then I had to come up with 3600 +- for the new unit, which again the warranty is a bit misleading - it needs to be much more consumer friendly. Your legal team has covered AHS rear for sure but not very well stated for the lay man. Then they ordered the wrong unit - twice - I will say, it is cooling the house down now but the unit is larger than the older unit and loud - loud like you are sitting in the back of a jet. The contractor came out and lowered the fan to its lowest setting but it is still very loud. Now I have an electrical issue which I can't prove is due to the larger unit but whenever it comes on the lights flicker - an electrician came out but we still have the flickering going on. What was discovered is that there are some issues but nothing that AHS covers. Which sucks cause it wasn't a problem before but now it is.

They have not taken feedback on companies that give poor service. I have used C&S Plumbing through this policy many times. They almost always have to be called back within 24 hours to fix the same issue. That gets frustrating. They finally stopped using them for heating and air which is fantastic. But we still get them for plumbing. The plumbing side has not improved.

I have tried to get service twice. The first time they tried to send me an electrician with the worst reviews I have ever seen. Including reviews that said he made the problem worse. I canceled my ticket and paid out of pocket to have the issue resolved because I wasn't going to allow someone shady in my home. The second time around they sent a plumber with five star ratings and he was amazing. I was very satisfied with that visit.

They even let me get a second opinion for another service fee, knowing full well they were going to deny it. So $250 later I had to hire my own plumber to fix my hot water heater. The company never sent me an email that was promised bt 3 representative s saying why it was denied.

Quick response to calls for repair. The customer service is not always the best because you speak with people all over the world who can't speak good English. The company gas replaced a hot water heater at cost of $1700, and our part was only $400. Also replaced heating and air system unit and we only had to pay installation.
