I like the services provided. It's like an insurance policy. I dislike the rate increases and copay increase. At 77, I have limited income; however, I have no choice except to pay both increases.

It is a two step review...they had to come back twice as the two toilets fixed were not fixed. First technician said both were fixed and left. Next day one toilet wouldn't even flush toilet paper (let along anything heavier) and the second toilet handle stuck and ran all night. The vendor was wonderful and sent a second tech who identified both problems, repaired them and they both work perfectly. This shouldn't have taken two visits.

Brad was great. Very knowledgeable about his job. Took care of everything that needed to be done to fix the washer. He is kind, considerate, caring. It was a pleasure to have his help to get the washer running again.

I am unhappy with my last service call.APW Plumbing and Heating is charging me an additional $100 on top of the $100 AHS charged. The work order is #24578. I do not feel I should pay this. Please respond as to whom I should talk with at AHS.

I've used AHS for over 10 years. Not sure what changed but it's definitely good because quality diminished over the last few years and didn't even want to use them. But that's all changed and service is back to A1 for me.

If the work order is able to be taken care of by the AHS vendor on the first visit and the vendor is responsive on scheduling, then AHS is okay at best (AHS doesn't do a very good job of screening vendors). If return visits are needed or any other additional issue, refund, or service that requires speaking with AHS, the customer service line is atrocious and then we, the client, need to follow up with both AHS and the vendor for weeks to get anything done. Often, AHS does not have the relevant update from the vendor, and vice versa, and it takes weeks to get anything approved through AHS. Not worth the time and energy spent, in my opinion.

Timely response to issues. Need to read exclusions carefully. Most contractors have been great but a few contractors I'd never want in my home again. They are expensive monthly and then $75 service charge but if you want a low hassle experience when things break then it works.

AHS has been good, but your contractor Runyon Appliance Repair is the WORST!! Did not fix refrigerator after 2 visits (we are on the 3rd today)! Came to look at microwave and broke a piece that has taken 2 weeks to get. Now says it can't be fixed and needs replacement. Please find other repair companies or we will not renew again!

STEVEN Carson, CA

It took six months to repair my leaky faucets after calling AHS at least eight times. Finally sending another plumber to do the simple repair of replacing the handles & stems. AHS was very helpful, but somehow couldn't resolve the repair within 1 or 2 weeks. AHS never contacted me to report the problem solved to this day nor has the plumber. But wants me to give a review of their service. It would be very businesslike to at least contact the owner of the property by either phone or email. Overall AHS seems very slow in resolving issues. I give AHS another try if I have another repair later on, other than that I was ready to replace AHS for another home warranty service.

I not impressed with the amount of time it has taken to get some of the repairs done. You give the impression that a repair will be done and someone will be out that day when it's an emergency. You don't. Also we sold our property and had to leave a repair request open because the vendor couldn't get the part. We were gone a month and the dryer was just repaired. The new owners decided they wanted the washer looked at too. They called AHS & put in a request on my contract that I didn't authorize. Then AHS charged my credit card for the repair request. That was fraud! I'm still considering pressing charges. I've since closed that contract and then your company is now charging me to cancel my contract...

My microwave/vent hood went out over a month ago! It took 6 days for anyone to call me from K & S Appliance so it was over a week before anyone came to the house to confirm it is broken!! I am not an idiot! I refused to let him come back so it was another week before someone from Mac's showed up but he refused to install my new one because he did not have a hammer drill to drill through the ceramic backsplash. I was given the name of Big Bill's Appliance Repair and called them immediately and scheduled for today. I was confirming my appointment for today before 1pm and was told by Angie that she called AHS last week to say she was unable to keep today's appointment because of illness in the family. This is understandable but why in the world did AHS not contact me!! I am not pleased at all with AHS!!!! When is this claim going to be taken care of????

We had 2 service requests in the last few months since we started the service. The first request was fine, no issues. The second was requested on 9/28/2021 regarding our dryer. We had no contact from the contractor for a week. I tried calling them and the number always rings to a generic voicemail and the calls are never returned. I called AHS again and was told that they would change the contractor that day. It never has been changed. Finally I called yesterday and had AHS refund the service charge. I don't know what the problem is but this is not good for our second interaction with AHS. We were gifted a subscription that ends later this year an d we're already looking for alternatives.

AHS generally does what it says it will. However, communication can take weeks, and in one recent experience months. I am currently waiting for an authorized reimbursement. It has ben 3 weeks and I dont kno if they recieved my email with the needed reciept attatched. My fingers are crossed. When I call the wait times are often over 30 minutes. However, despite the delay and kavk of communication AHS has come through in the past so my fingers are crossed.

Customer service response time could be a little quicker. There was some confusion about septic coverage from when I was a new member to a renewal member.

I have used them once since initiating a warranty service 5 months ago. So far, so good. The only reason I chose 4 stars versus 5 is the customer svc contact approach -it's an automated system and you have to select "sales" prompt just to get a human on the phone. Other than that, I highly recommend.
