I used to recommend this company to all of my clients but after the experience I have had now twice, that will no longer happen. Vendor canceled on me without my notification. Warranty approved a repair without consulting me regarding the repair and my options. The time frame from when I pay for the claim versus when a vendor schedules an appointment is horrible and that’s if the vendor schedule. I have had to reach out twice to the vendors to schedule and then they’re not available right away. I will definitely be shopping around for other warranty companies

I changed a bulb in my hood. When replacing it it arc’s and a wire burned out. You wouldn’t cover a repair/replacement since I changed the bulb. The alternative, pay you $125 to have a service tech come out to replace a bulb which costs less than $1.50. Just a scam.

ERIC San Pedro, CA

I have had such a horrible experience just getting my water heater repaired. I've not had hot water for over 3 weeks. 1st company called Abe's plumbing was a scam. Now Plumbers Inc. Won't acknowledge and won't respond to me or your company regarding the diagnosis. One technician can hold my repair hostage for over two weeks. I want my service fee and monthly payment refunded because this is being handled very poorly.

We sold our house with the America Home Shield to the new owners and it was the biggest pain to get it transferred over to them .My real estate agent and me were on a conference call with them for over a hour. It was from there call center in India and they transfer it from the new owners to the new owners when it had to be transferred from me to the new owners. It took two more days of calling them to get it straight. And then they overcharge me and I had to fight to get that back. Worst customer service ever.

This is the first time I’ve ever used this product that I bought. I have electrical issues they sent two different companies to come out check it they found the problem but they refused to fix it unless I do 90% of the work I don’t know why I’m paying monthly fees for something that I have to go under. Find the location where the electrical issue problem is I don’t know anything about electricity before they’ll come back and complete the job of rewiring.

FRED

Quite disappointed and appalled. I had to pay a service fee of $125 twice for one service call because they had to come multiple times when it was no fault of mine and I was eventually asked to pay the vendor the full cost of repair after I was assured everything was going to be taken care of. They managed to code it to prevent payment. That's just terrible. It's been almost three weeks and my issue hasn't even been resolved.

Most of the items I have submitted about ended up being not covered - as a result, I still had to pay $75-$100 each time to effectively get a quote (because it wasn’t covered) . Maybe American home shield works for newer homes, but if you have an old home or one that uses gas, it’s a very poor option. Another of their contractors has yet to call me after 2 1/2 weeks and me calling them back three times. Will be canceling after my year is up at this rate.

JAMES Rockford, MI

Absolutely terrible service - it took thirteen days, two reschedulings on their part and a no show to a third appointment (yes, I missed work to be stood up) before our sewage pump was repaired on the FOURTH attempt. Multiple calls to AHS and assigned vendor before work was finally completed, and then a $500 high end pump with replaced a cheap, inferior $120 model from a big box store. Unable to run water, flush or do laundry in lower level for nearly two weeks - and AHS said sewage issues are given “top priority”? Calling the Better Business Bureau next. Cannot recommend.

AHS insisted that my dishwasher be repaired vs replaced. Five months later and invoices for parts and labor totaling $1432.17 and the dishwasher is not working AHS decided to replace the dishwasher. The option offered with no cost to me was a piece of junk. After much deliberation and research I purchased a dishwasher from an independent dealer. AHS will now pay me $379.62 for the dishwasher and is refusing to cover the cost of installation which my warrenty states is covered. I will absolutely not recomend AHS to anyone at any time

Claims always denied. I have been told by many service companies that they will not work with them, and I see why. My issue actually cost me more because of the $125 fee to have someone come out and find a reason NOT to cover the issue. My recommendation, take the $ you are giving them and put into an interest bearing account for emergency repairs

I was charged $100 by the company that came out to fix my electrical issue because they had to go to Lowe's and pick up a part. If the supplier had followed the process of getting approval by AHS, I would have avoided paying the $100. When I complained to AHS, that I was burdened with paying the$100 because the supplier they contracted with didn't follow the process, I was told they would elevate my complaint to their contract department and I would be contacted in 48 hrs. It's been ten days and still waiting. Not happy with AHS.

It took 16 calls and 110 days to resolve my request for a pay out, although I have not received a check. Every time I called, I had to start at the beginning as little was put in a log as to our discussions. Each time I called, a new customer service Rep spun through their standard instructions to no avail. All they did was blame their contractor for not supplying info— but each time I called, it was different missing information. This is no way to run a business. I will not renew my contract with this side show.
