Al Kol VA

HS works with some shady subcontractors to do the work. You need to be vigilant to ensure you get a quality subcontractor to come into your home. We experienced it and had to 'argue' with HS to get a different technician out to the home to perform repairs. Just be vigilant - you don't want substandard work.

Horrible service! Tech came out and spent 11 minutes on site. Said there was a crossed wire and replaced a receptacle. Light and fan still not working. Left saying he was going to submit the work order.. next day was called by AHS by some foreigner, talking gibberish after making her repeat herself trying to get a supervisor she told me the claim was denied. The tech wants to do service I will she wanted to give me his phone number for him to do the work out of contract. American home shield has gotten worse and worse. Thank God there’s other options and I will be switching soon

I was never informed appliances under warranty weren’t covered. Paid $125 for someone to come out and tell me just that and was left without hot water for even longer. I talked to 2 people who assured me I’d be refunded for the $125 charge. That was 2 weeks ago and I have yet to receive a refund.

The process takes too long. AMERICAN HOME SHIELD is supposed to be in contact with the vendor regarding parts. I’ve been waiting three months to have my refrigerator repaired/replaced and I received the same response every time I call. They state that they’re contacting the vendor to receive an authorization, and no one ever calls back. Very disappointed

Sarah D Flushing, MI

I requested a service which I no longer needed. So about one hour later I canceled the service request. I then was told I had to pay service fee…even though nobody came. A hold was placed on my account until I paid up. I reached out and an AHS agent said this will be off my account in 24 hours. Didn’t come off. Then I was told 48 hours. Didn’t come off. Then I was told 3-5 business days. Didn’t come off. 5-10. Nope. Today I was told 14 to 21 days from TODAY. Absolutely outrageous. So I cannot make a service request for over a month because of their mistake.

Erica Capehart Las Vegas, NV

I had someone come to check my dishwasher to determine it was a sink issue. When calling AHS, they gave me the runaround when they couldn’t confirm with the dishwasher company that what I said was correct. It is 8/1 and I put in the request 7/13 for them to finally tell me I just need to put another request in. Your call center is terrible and would be better suited in the states. This is the second time this has happened to me and has wasted my time for someone who pays on time every month for your service

Hard to understand customer service employees. They all say the same thing, you can tell they are instructed what to say and it’s annoying especially when you have an issue. Some of the contractors they use do not know what they are doing. If they can’t fix it they won’t cover it. It’s always that’s not covered or not normal wear and tear! Just taking my monthly money.

I have a guarantee that supposedly covered everything, but two companies have come to check that the air conditioning does not cool the house and they do not cover it. I have two small children who are getting hot because the air has not exploded and they cannot cover it. In conclusion, I have to pay 12,000 for a new air conditioner, so I do not recommend that you buy any guarantee.

I love how American Home Shield sends out May Day to address a HVAC system, they tell me it’s going to cost 5k to replace…normal wear & tear - which AHS conveniently doesn’t cover, a second opinion fixes the HVAC for 100 & AHS sends me an estimate for repair of 5k. This company (both) are a joke.

I am very disappointed with the customer service. I had to pay for a new furnace out of pocket and have been trying since March 2023 to talk with someone about reimbursement. I sent a letter with all documentation to your company and can't get a response. I had to pay out of pocket due to medical necessity and no one at your company cares at all. Would not recommend your company to anyone. I am looking into other home warranty options at this time.
