only issue was nit having a plumber in our area and given a very long list of those we couldn't use, we didnt have time to call everyone to try and find someone who would drive to our location to give a quote and wait for authorization. we ended up paying out of pocket and fighting with AHS to get our deductible back. The process was stressful and the only reason we wont renew.

Lack of follow thru, poor choice of contractors, who never call you when they are late, or never show up. I contact American Home Shield about the problem they just recommend another contactor, who will reach out to me and never does. I contacted AMS about a ceiling fan, they charge me $100 when I reported the problem, and to date is have been 4 weeks and no fan replacement!banlye to damdlto erg slingfan repemofxa

Which one? It took months to get my oven unit. Then when I got it the thing didn't fit. AS said too bad. We got you a new one but we don't need to install it if it is the wrong size. They left it on my porch and I had to hire someone to install it extre $800.00. The electrician they sent to fix an electrical problem left and said they had no access to the breaker box because there were clothes in my closet. I had to call AS and ask why he didn't fix any thing? If you call them prepare for at least an hour wait on hold every time.

Clay Emerich Fort Worth, TX

I have a microwave which needed repair. AHS was quick to send out a tech. The tech made the repair and the unit seemed to work fine. Then, 3-4 weeks later we encountered the same issues and called for a repair. I was charged an additional service to repair the same issue. The tech came out and replaced the part and the unit seemed to work fine. Two days later we called again for the same issue. The tech came out and installed the part but after testing the microwave found that it was still not working properly; i.e., this was a recurring issue. A new "higher quality" part was ordered. After 10 days the part arrived and was installed. However, after installing the "higher quality" part and testing the unit, the microwave continued with the exact same issue. AHS decided a complete new wiring harness should be ordered. The wire harness replacement idea was soon scratched and new unit was ordered. Unfortunately, it took AHS over six weeks of me not having a microwave, and multiple calls to AHS before the microwave was approved for replacement. I'm giving two stars for no other reason than it took 6+ weeks without a microwave before the replacement was approved, plus the fact that all communication regarding this issue was being driven by me (I NEVER one time received a call regarding the status of the repair), multiple rearranging of schedules in order for either my wife or I to be available for the tech, plus the fact this problem, overall, took a total of 10 weeks to finally resolve. Yes, they did finally agree to replace the microwave, but that's because they are contractually obligated to do so after so many attempts to fix the machine; so they get no stars for doing something they're contractually obligated to do. I don't give extra stars because I paid someone to change the oil in my car; it's what they're obligated to do. Finally, had the service company not told AHS the microwave was a fire hazard, in my opinion there's a 99% chance I would still not have a functional microwave AND we would be continuing down the road of exploratory repairs. For the record, the microwave was ordered today and I am still with a microwave. If history is any indication of how this will go, I expect to be without a microwave for another 2-3 weeks.

It’s a good product for the most part. In recent years, after moving to Altamonte Springs, I have had a couple of issues with two of the vendors they sent to fix (1) plumbing- leaking faucet and (2) dryer repair. I was less than satisfied with the end result. The dryer repair was a nightmare that lasted over three months and required calls to the customer service offices at AHS headquarters.

So far it is poor to fair. Plumbing is suppose to covered however I was still charged for a strainer part for $75. Also initially they were going to charge me $75 to open the dry wall to access the pipe and $150 to close it up. Then I called AHS they said I have to pay for the strainer since that wasn't covered with my plumbing warranty. I feel that isn't fair and it seems like that should of been covered since it is all related to the plumbing. This was call was related to a leak in my bathtub. Currently, it was been two weeks waiting for them to close up the dry wall. I made 4 phone calls to get that appointment scheduled.

My experience wasn't the best one. The plumber they sent over try to swindle me into an insurance claim, and told me that he was going to change my faucet but never did. At least he fixed my garbage disposal. I am still waiting for their appliance consultant to come and fix my appliances, it has been 3 weeks, hopefully I will hear something soon...

The initial home visit is fast but then there are hoops to jump through after paying a $100. Service fee.Not sure when our HVAC will be repaired, replaced, ‚Ä¶. Have to wait on them to let us know.

Roller coaster ride. Continually charged for technicians who are incompetent but the same technicians/service company continuously sent to cure what they didn‚Äôt fix previously. Over a period of 2+years!! I took records, spoke to numerous customer service agents who definitely tried to help me but never offered refunds or any other kind of re-enforcement for not actually fixing issues diagnosed. I appreciate the $100 flat fee as a single mother and that I have access to quick call and the company is dispatched etc. please update your policies on repeat calls to same address for same service, as your 3rd party vendors are taking advantage of long time paying clients.

I needed to clarify information on a repair I was having done and all the phone numbers I could find were not taking me to an AMERICAN. I do not want to speak to someone in India who I can barely understand 1/2 of what they are saying, and they could not figure out for the longest time what I was trying to convey. This is AMERICAN Home Shield. Come on....this is very very poor customer service. I will not be renewing my membership next year.

My dryer quit working. AHS sent tech who said it was a bad timer, probably, so he ordered one. When the part arrived he put it in...but the dryer still kicked off. Then pulled the plug and said the outlet was loose. ?? He never looked at the plug. After he left to talk to his boss, *I* looked at the plug and saw that one of the blades was burnt. I called AHS, told them the story and they said they'd discuss with tech and get back to me but they wouldn't refund my $100 and would probably charge another fee because it would be another issue. There was more but bottom line I hired another contractor who put in a power cord and the dryer has worked fine ever since.
