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.

On one occasion, the problem was not resolved, after the third visit the problem was fixed, I had another issue with the knob on my shower,the service guy put the knob on instead of replacing it, the knob is off again. Recently I requested service on my air conditioner, the guy came,he was here about 20 minutes, he said the problem was fixed, it was ok for 2 weeks, I'm having the same problem.

Just like on the Tv News, y'all had me dying in the heat a couple years ago, my garage guy you sent said y'all wouldn't cover the actual opener cause it was damaged by door, I was out $100 deductible & I got the part from the local company & my buddy & me fixed it are selfs, y'all hit & miss you eventually fixed my A/C, my pool pump couple years ago I do save money just wished it was as easy like when y'all replaced my ceiling fans.

My first service request was for a hot water heater and it was denied die to age, even though they say age appliance doesn't matter. 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.

It has been relatively simple to make appointments, and the reps are quite helpful. I just don't like the fact that it is almost impossible to replace a broken or near dead item. My HVAC is from 1995 and it really needs to be replaced. But you all will not not do it

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.

The appliance or issue is a rather serious one, you report it and AHS says the contractor will be in touch to schedule. Each time I've requested service it's a week or more out which can be problematic if it's a major appliance like a washer or dryer. It doesn't give me peace of mind if it's this length of wait especially if it's something major like a roof leak, a fridge that's completely failed or worse. I even called in a leaking skylight and still have t heard from anyone yet. That was two months ago. Im it feeling totally confident in my protection with AHS.

AHS is fairly good to work with. They do not always have the best contractors though. I had a service from GREENWAY HOME SERVICES on 06/01/2022. I used a different vendor to install a HVAC Condenser as it saved me and AHS serious money. However after repeated calls to AHS i still cannot get my cash out. They have called Greenway at tleast 3 times to get the diagnosis but to no avail. How can AHS not force them to send it? I have had the work completed and still no cash out.

AHS sent me the information of who was going to hit my Air conditioner. It was triple digits 100 plus and the company they sent to me said I had to wait 7 days before they could come to look at it. I called and told AHS that was unacceptable there are seniors in this house and to send someone else. Know they want me to wait another 48hr before they come look at it. I ended up paying for the service myself to get it done sooner. It's been 2 months and I still haven't received my check yet. I had called 3 times and was told the same thing twice. They said they were still waiting for the receipt which I had emailed them 2 months ago. They said I'm getting a check then it was I'll receive an email for my cash app. Then it was a check again, wait 2 more weeks. So yes I am not very happy with this service. AHS takes our deposit right away before ed anyone even comes but when it is time for your money to be given back to you it takes months. That's totally rediculas. That's why I gave AHS a 2. This rsting is not on the company that repaired my A/C. They w er re great.

Most recent experience was prompt, fair priced, and corrected the issue rapidly. Over the last three years, your service has been steadily improved. Not quite 5 stars yet (what you don't cover as included in repairs, e.g., moving the water heater to access and repair a plumbing leak) is not yet fully satisfactory, but you are getting there.

Getting the washer/dryer service call problem resolved took multiple days of calling. In the end it worked out great, but it took over a week of calling daily to get things moving after the initial service call tech came out and then caused more damage than we had initially (the company let him go and AHS assigned a new tech to come out, but he said he could not do anything because of the damage done by the first tech). Then things went round and round with AHS until finally someone got things moving through the proper channels.

I would rate them a 4 star company because they have improved the quality of the companies they contract with and they do mostly handle service requests quickly, within 24hrs. I am currently dealing with a service request problem but it is moving forward, that being the reason for the loss of a star.

The individuals addressing my main oven informed me I would have to find a contractor to disconnect the gas so the repair could be done. How ever on the oven downstairs AHS staed the installation of the replacement oven wouldinvolve the das being disconnected but they (AHS) would handle that. THis seems to make no sense to me why the gas disconnection for the main oven uptrairs is not handled by AHS.

Call service was good, vendor response was good, but follow through and repairs not good. You might want to call me to get more details, but it seems like if the vendor can't get the part then you are denied for abuse or misuse. 14 1/2 year old cooktop is very good condition except the gas knobs that you can hardly read the temperatures was denied due to abuse or misuse. How can that be? 14 1/2 years of use and the only thing wrong is you can't read the temperaure on the dial????? Also, first appliance person came in and said he couldn't fix my refrigerator, I would get a new one, asked about the rubber seal that was failing, he made a comment why should he fix when I was going to get a new refrigerator. Second appliance company sent, on July 28th since hasn't called back with when the parts would be installed.

American home shield has changed in the last two years. No matter what service you call for when their contractors come to fix the issue there are so many excuses why they can fix it or do anything. There answer is your home warranty won't let us do this or that. They just look at the issue without trying and make up stories why they can't fix it. I just had a service call for a clogged drain a very simple fix the plumber only. Had a large snake and said he didn't have smaller snakes to fix my drain. He is a plumbing company they should have all size snakes. I ended fixing the issue for $12 just wasted $75 with American home shield. I am not the only customer with this happening to check Nextdoor and yelp apps. American home shield has very bad ratings and so does their contractors

Company was great and response time was very quick. Later before Covid, response on the phone was slow.

We are waiting for an oven hood to be changed for last 3 months. It was broken last October. After waiting for so many months ultimately home shield sent a new ovenhood but last 3 months we are waiting to get it installed. Every time, home shield sends it to a company but they are not contacting us. Every week, we call home shield and they are sending a new order to that company. That's it. Our sump pump was gone. We called home shield to give us a repair person ASAP since our basement was flooded. Home shield said , they cannot provide it anything right now.

When our refrigerator wasn't working it took one month to get the part. It is taking over 4 months to get part for our stove. W e have had to pay previously to have American home shield out for our stove and it was never really fixed so we are having to pay and wait again. The stove just needs to be replaced. We have had one item that was a quick easy fix which was our microwave. The cost has gone up substantially from when we originally signed up.

AHS fixed my dryer and everything went good. However, my hot water heater started leaking on July 13th, 2022. When I called AHS, they assigned me to a plumbing company which was very professional and good. After that is when the problem started. I was without HOT water for 3 weeks before the tank was delivered and brought to my home for installation. First the water heater was too big for the space where it had to sit. The box was damaged and the drain spout was sticking out of the box. With these things occurring, I refused the tank. At this time it is being sent back and a new one ordered. I'm still without HOT water. By the time I get it, it will be well over a month. I don't feel that was satisfactory service from AHS. Honestly, I feel I should have some type of compensation for the time I've had to wait for my hot water heater to be installed.

They are a good company. Always quick to respond after a request is entered. The only reason for the 4 is that the AC company that they contracted didn't come for 3 days after I put the request in. So, no AC for 3 days in 100 degree weather.

I didn't like AHS referring a contractor to me that was not approved by the Better Business Bureau. There is a lag between the time the service payment is made and when you receive service. If it's an emergency, you need that time shortened. When I phone the call center, I have a REALLY hard time understanding what the service rep is saying. There is a LOT of background noise and there is poor communication. Their English language is not clear for me to understand and they, sometimes, don't understand me. That is VERY frustrating for me when I'm trying to get support/assistance.

When it works, it's great. But because the A/C guy said it had to be a plumber, then the plumber said it had to be an A/C guy, water leaked under my air conditioner for weeks, and now I have secondary damage. So was it finally fixed well? Yes. Before that, not so much. Also, I wish there was a way to request two services at the same time from the same person. (If there was, I couldn't find it.)

My dryer appointment was canceled twice. Yet I was the one that had to go to their website to reschedule. Ridiculous, I wasted days taken off from work. AS withdrew the money from my account and yet the contractor has yet to do the work. In addition, without authorization the contractor shipped parts to my home which is an inconvenience to me . I'm stuck with parts yet this contractor is the only one that can use these parts according to An American Shields Associate. Its been a very negative experience .
