Every time when I need help, AHS provide the best services. I was always completely satisfied by the way how they acted and scheduled the services.

American Home Shield might have the worst customer service for any American Company currently today in the US. Its unbelievable the wait times just to speak to a human being. You can call at 8am EST and they prompt will say they are receiving higher than normal call times. I don't believe that, I just believe you are unprofessional and you don't consider customer service. If anyone is considering to purchase American Home Shield policy, PLEASE DON'T. THEY ARE AWFUL.

3 weeks and still no washer! Thr 45-60 minute waits with 20% of my calls dropped. Rhude customer service agents. Cannot get resolutin for broken washer that serviceman declared unrepairable. You cannot speak to 2nd level. You cannot speak to the department that handles replacements and the cs agents will not even transfer your calls!!!! The worst customer experience ever!

I have been dealing with a broken heat pump all year. Still not fixed. Numerous companies have been recommended that couldnt even deal with the problem. The one's that came couldnt accurately determine what the problem was and this lead to further problems. It is not fixed to date. I can never get anyone on the phone to complain to but the company is quick to send me letters about what is and isnt covered. I just renewed my contract just to try and get this issue resolved. Not sure it will ever happen though.

They try to deny claims as much as possible. When they don't deny, they get their vendors to call many of the repairs as customization so AHS doesn't have to pay for the labor. I had a water heater replaced and the AHS said the pipe to connect to the same size water heater is considered customization. I said how else is the new water heater supposed to be connected? Then the vendor charged me almost as much as the water heater to connect it to the existing pipes. They also use sub-standard and unknown vendors.

I have been waiting since December 4th to schedule a repair. My refrigerator is leaking water and the compressor is groaning. As I write, I've been on hold for over 45 minute for the 5th time!!! It's impossible to speak with a person. I have also been messaging them thru their Facebook site. No response there since the 6th of December...although they advertise instant responses. I did contact the contractor and left my name and number on the 6th..no response from them either.

My home issues were resolved; however, to call in to H.S. you need to set aside a solid hour for the hold times. Be prepared to dispute additional services charges multiple times. Each dispute will take an additional hour from your day and you will likely have to call in four times before the bogus charges are removed from your account.

I'm truly surprised by all the glowing AHS Reviews. I guess I'm one of the unlucky few that has had to make multiple follow-up calls regarding resolution status with an outstanding home repair. I fully also understand peak call coverage requires some wait time, but for the record on the 3 times I've called AHS, there's been an avg. of 20-30 wait time/call. I sure hope this level a wait time is NOT the new norm for AHS. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to express my frustration, so AHS can effectively address this chronic call wait time issue.

WORST business experience Ive evern encountered in my entire life. This company is HORRIBLE. I will be so glad when my term is up and I can find someone else! You will wait on hold an hour to speak to anyone about anything...every time. Then whoever you finally speak with will probably not be able to or not know how to do anything you need. Once these idiots finally figure out what to do, it takes them an rediculous amount of time to get it done. I hope the whole operation goes bankrupt. Too bad 1 star is the lowest rating available.

Plumber came out said the faucet was leaking, not covered. Neighbor came over said is was the rubber tube from the dishwasher to the disposal. He replace it. Leak gone. Called AMS to get my money back. Agent said a supervisor would call me back in 48 hours. Never happened. Still trying to contact supervisor with no luck. Thanks a lot for being loyal to your customers. I will not recommend AMS to anyone. Signed a customer of 11 years.

It has been almost a month and they have failed to deliver on the simplest warranty issues. They only is the phone quickly in sales if you call in for warranty problems expect wait at least an hour on hold. Regardless of the brand for quality of your appliance they will only replace with low-grade GE. This company is the worst of the worst in home warranty plans .

Paid the policy for over 10 years. First service call I had to fight to get my money back. Second and last call, it was not cover because it was not normal wearing tare. The providers used seemed to be not reliable. The first time it took over five days, I did it in five hours. The second one did not return as promised. I had to call both American Home Shield and the provider to find out what was going on.

I have been attempting to contact their customer support line for over 2 hours now to get a basic breakdown of what my repairs will cost me and what is/is not covered. After over 2 hours of being on hold, I finally got a real customer service rep on the phone. Information was given, account was looked up, but after 2 minutes of being on the phone, the rep, with no warning sent me back to the automated main menu only to get put on hold AGAIN for over an hour! I have had some bad customer service before but this definitely is topping the charts for horrible service!

Fairly good as long as the contractor they select for you is OK. Make sure you do not have an electric problem, the guys they select ("Safe electric") are incompetent and dishonest looking at any excuse NOT to fix your problem.

We have waited over three months to have the same issue resolved. Either they don't follow or the vendor that they chose doesn't follow through. We have to wait an hour on hold for customer service only to get the runaround and absolutely NO help. Each representative we have spoken to has told us a different story. My advice is chose another company!!

The wait time for calls to AHS are 45min to an hour ... that is ridiculous ! I had a problem with my tankless hot water heater I had to make a change in the company because the first company was not qualified to work on the hot water heater . The second company finally got the job done but it took almost a month for my hot water heater to be repaired . It was really a nightmare ! I never remember AHS having such poor quality and customer service

My experiences have been terrible.The last time I called, I was on hold for 45 minutes and then after the lady answered, she disconnected me and never called me back. I am being billed for a recall and even contacted the company through Facebook and y’all told me you have a long line of people to respond to. I have another issue and it will never be taken care of .

Waiting to speak to a representative is the absolute worst. I've called to speak to a representative at different times and on different days. The wait time has always been greater than 30 minutes and 1 hour in some instances and have even been disconnected, had to call back, only to have to start the process over again.

We have placed 3 service calls with AHS already and all were denied even though it was covered in the contract. We then conducted an independent verification which we video recorded where AHS had said our main line was cracked and the video showed no cracks. When calling AHS to discuss this with a supervisor I was constantly told a supervisor would reach out in 1-2 days. After placing several calls I have all but given up. Horrible customer service, horrible warranty and a totally dishonest company that is even willing to fasely deny claims. Look at other alternatives.

Repairmen came to my house and in addition to the fixed service charge, they asked for more cash to fix the problem even though it was covered under warranty. They could not explain why they were asking for $200 more! Whereas, they reported to the office that I denied the service. THAT was a lie. And I had to shell out $100 as the service fee for getting fraudulent quote and erroneous reporting.

The worst company I ever dealt with. It's now 2 and a half weeks since my furnace stopped working. They sent out a contractor 2 weeks ago, to investigate. He said he has to contact America Home Shield which he never did. After many days and hours trying to get thru to AHS all I get is a run around. If "my call is very important to them" why isn't my furnace fixed???

I've constantly had the worst customer service experience with AHS. You have to wait over an hour to speak to customer service. Recently had situation where I paid service fee to vendor who did plumbing repair they were great. AHS continued to bill for service fee even after acknowledging fee was paid at time of service. It took 4 phone calls each time on hold for at least an hour.

I am a property manager with multiple properties with multiple contract with AHS. AHS does not have a web site for property managers to file maintenance requests for tenants, therefore, I need to call in and be place on hold. Each time my hold time averages about 1 hour. Today, I waited for 2 hours only to be met by a rude representative. Additionally, my tenants have to wait about 48 hours for a contractor to call them to set an appointment. The service with this company is below average and I would not recommend them to any one!

Horrible. If I cooul d give a 0 I would. 30-90 minute hold time just to speak with someone, no supervisor available for escalations, was told 24-48hr turnaround time was never contacted, sent inexperience tech's who appeared to be on drugs, work order wasn't submitted at time of call, was promised my service fee would be waived and it wzsnt,agents fail to document account. Poor customer service, 0 empathy or urgency. read the contract and be aware of compliance codes and out of pocket expenses. It's a rip off of your manufacture warranty has expired.

I needed to speak with AHS customer service and was on hold for over an hour on 3 different occasions. I still never spoke to any representative, I contacted them via social media because they have no other email listed on their website, they said the would get back to me and I am still waiting. This is week 3. I had to go outside the company to get satisfaction. So unfair when I have paid for service. Automation is excellent but sometimes a person needs a real rep. Your customer service this time was awful.

Lengthy process. On hold at least two times for over 35 minutes. Help is not knowledgeable. Can't transfer calls. Can't talk to same person. Each person tells you something different. what they tell you doesn't happen. Not happy.

Extremely bad service. Contacted the company several time on PREVIOUS issue and never heard a word back. Each time you called you had to tell the story again and the problem never got solved, no mater you talked to the front line representative, the supervisor or the manager. It seemed the company did not care. Disappointed. Wish there was way to give them ZERO stars.

Horrible co and incompetent vendors. Total of 8 days to fix a water heater element (15 min job). After 2 days they finally showed up. It worked for one day and it took them 4 days to come and fix their screw up. AHS has made it impossible to get hold of any one to complain. No emails, and at least a 60-90 minute on the phone to talk to someone who cannot do anything and clueless. Not even an apology. Avoid these people if you can. I wish there was an option for zero star option.

On hold over 7 hours with multiple calls. My original service was cancelled by AHS since they couldn't get a vendor out to me within their allowed timeframe. It was 7 weeks between my original request and the service repair appointment - for a refrigerator. Lost all my food in the meantime. Sad experience with AHS. Used to be a good company - have had them 10 years but see no reason to continue. Giving them all that money each month for them to do nothing seems like a waste. I'll be better off putting my monthly fee into savings and buying/fixing my own appliances.

Worst customer service ever, but the big one is that they don't cover what they say they will. AHS usually has a contractor that they have in their back pocket. They will come out a make some kind of excuse why AHS, won't cover it. These guys used to be good, something in the last couple of years has taken them off course. i deal with over a million dollars in real estate and these guys would never be allowed in my house again. Buyer beware.
