I have been satisfied with the service and the service technicians. The online scheduling is easy. However, if I have a problem and have to talk to an actual human, that process is very tedious. I get someone who is obviously in a large phone bank, very noisy, hard to understand. Even my cable company has better service when I make a call.

AC quit working and notified AHS who sent me the info to obtain a Heating & AC Tech Service Rose Heating. I had to wait a week for an appointment but then had to be extended due to shortage of technicians. The technician who came was friendly and able to fix the problem quickly.

Most experiences have been positive. They have replaced a washing machine, a water heater, and a pool pump when they were beyond repair. There have been a few times when things were not covered when I think they should have been. For example, a dishwasher was repaired mechanically, but the clips that held the drawer in place were not covered.

For the most part. Your service has been fine. We had some difficulty with getting warranty honored on our refrigerator. It was finally resolved and we got our new refrigerator but we had a significant increase on our monthly charge. I'm still waiting for follow-up from sales dept.

As soon as i created a request a tech came in and put in an order for replacement. From here the tech started to quote extra work calling them as modifications, so insurance wouldnt pay and i have to pay from my pocket.. The best authorization team of AHS suggested me to request cash out but to determine that amount, they again went to the same tech.. Obviously with the setup as expected i got the cash out offer as less than 30% of what they would cover if i go through the same tech.. its been 4 weeks now since i opened the ticket and it is still not resolved..

Since I moved out in the country its been hard to get help when needed. The last time went well but there's been a few times it took too long to get the job done.i had to find my own company to come out last December when furnace broke down. Customer Service with people in different countries is not something I expect from a company called American Home Shield . Also having to make several calls to keep my order in motion does not make me happy. The company's that have come to my house for the repair needed have been professional and vary nice . Its just getting them to my house.

Took 6 months to get sunroom device right. The coldest months without heat. Thankful for success 6/26 for cool sunroom. Now house unit not working since 7/2. Shield found a way not to support calling evaporator coil replacement a "secondary" cause, not covered. I asked twice for a supervisor to call and explain to out of country reps. Was only told my responsibility.

They wanted to charge me over $1800 for a water heater. I went to HD and replaced it myself for $549. So much for the replace part of the warranty!! My policy covers up to $2000 for a water heater, but they would not replace mine and it is shot, leaking all over the floor. At least they cover the little stuff. They replaced the fan on my AC unit. Had great customer service with AHS and the company who fixed it.

We had a good experience with the company sent to repair our dishwasher. That was done quickly and efficiently. The company which came to fix our light switches, City, has been a headache. One of two requested light switches was fixed. The repairman refused to fix the other one. He did a cosmetic change-out of a plate and switch but never fixed the switch. Upon discussing the issue with AHS, we were told that this guy had given his "diagnosis" and that was as far as it could go. Supposedly though, City was supposed to call us back again, but we never received any call. We are displeased with this service!

I have had poor contractors twice and had to bring in different contractors to finish the work correctly. These contractors acted as if their main goal was to deny my claim and report this to AHS. I have had to elevate such incident to the Resolution team and they have been helpful. Many of the Associates I have talked to do not seem to understand what I am requesting.

The service was good and fast. The concern is that I had to pay $100 for his service. When I spoke with you before I signed in. The costumer service rep told me that I ONLY have to pay monthly, no extra payments for service or replacement if needed. Please call me. I want to understand better how you work, then I will make a decision to continue or cancel your service.

I have be paying a service fee for the same two appliances that's keep giving me problems. They work for a few after these so called companies come and fix them. Like how many times so they have to come out for the same thing until they replace them. These appliances have been here for more than 10yrs. I purchased this house 5 months ago and have consistent problems with them.

Company was great. My only question was about the fee. I had two issues in the same bathroom-same visit. I paid for two visits. I paid $166 for one visit. I understood that you paid for the visit and if they could do 2,3 things while there it was one service fee.

At first it was great! Our guy came in and saw our dishwasher needed to be replaced and it did, we ordered a new one and it was good. Upon delivery of the dishwasher there was no install and it says that is apart of our Hsa contract. Now we have a dishwasher in our living room for 2 weeks. After we called and told them it wasn't installed the Hsa said they would call us in 48hours to get this squared away. 6 days later we get a call about fixing our dishwasher when we just need it installed and our old one taken away.

I had signed up for a service to do a tune up on my AC during a promotion and the service never happened due to availability of contractors and without written notice the service request was cancelled and I was told a refund of my $75 paid service fee would be issued within 10 days, it has now been over 20 days and I still have not received a return and I was in contact with the area manager but now no longer can get any info from them in the status of me receiving my return. Very unprofessional on their part as I have worked with other home warranty companies in the past and had to get a refund and it was processed within 24 hours.

They would get a 1 rating however they have handled my appliance issues without much difficulty. I wish I could say the same for the air conditioner. Since 2019 we have had to add Freon the the unit. Last year, 2 companies came out and freon was added 3 times. Ahs only covers $10 for freon so guess who's pocket it came out of? This would be fine if Ahs took the recommendation of both contractors and replaced the unit but nope. This year we have put Freon in once so far. I was working with Robert S a representative in the US and I thought maybe we were going to get somewhere but he just closed my ticket and that was the end of it. Ahs is not what it used to be. Customer Service has gone down hill, you talk to reps in a different country who repeat the same thing over and over. They don't listen to the techs who in my case have told me & Ahs that I need a new unit. It's turned into a joke.

in July/August of 2023 American Home Shield (AHS) sent a contactor (Upland Pool Supply) to replace our Salt Cell (saltwater pool). IT failed again in June of this year. I contacted the manufacture of the Salt Cell and Control Panel, via a series of phone calls, emails and pictures, they informed me the Salt Cell Upland Pool Supply installed was not the correct one for my Controller. I opened a new ticket with AHS, they sent our Upland Pool Supply again, I showed them the documentation I had from the manufacturer. They diagnosed the issue as being the Flow Sensor, which AHS deemed it was not covered, as it was not a critical component; their logic was that I can add chlorine manually. Not adding chlorine is one of the main advantages of having a saltwater pool. I have filed a complaint with the CA Department of Insurance and have begun the arbitration process with ARB.

Well they paid for replacement of house hold item, but the you the costumer will have to pay the reminder of the replacement bill. It's feels that you are working with a auto mobile warranty, they paid for the park of the out plus you end up paying for labor and extra part.

Rating of a three because when it comes to heating and air conditioning companies the ratings the companies get is a 1.5 to 2.5 out of 5. We have had several issues over the last year with our air conditioning unit and do not necessarily believe the 2 companies they have sent out to do the service really have do that much to resolve an issue. We have had to have them come back out for the same problem several times.
