Great coverage but horrible at replacing appliances. Also the call center overseas in the Philippines has some employees that don't understand your issue or how to assist with it. Should be able to transfer to US customer service if they can't help you

Most technically astute company. I have never had a serious challenge that they could not overcome in terms of my warranty coverage. Always professional, I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.

It appears some of the companies AHS contract with aren't that great. Meaning, if you check reviews such as Yelp or Google; the companies appear not to be on top of their game. Definitely, hit or miss with some of the contracted companies.

Provide immediate response after contractor was not responding after initial visits. Contractor was great and did an awesome job repairing the problem. Would highly recommend AGAPE AC on next repair. Perfessionialism is on point

I have to call them 2 times and I have always gotten a fast response. One time the electrical company they sent could not find the problem, so they sent another one that took care of the problem quickly.

Problem resolution is usually good, but it takes a long time. They hook you up with a vendor right away, but there still might be a week of waiting for them to get you in, or they will come and diagnose then need a part and it's another week.

Easy to schedule service. Tried to change a contractor and that was a nightmare. The person on the phone couldn't understand what I was asking. All I wanted was a different company to come out than the one assigned. It was an awful experience.

They get contractors for your problem out BUT I dont think they do well with following up with that contractor regarding the degree of satisfaction between the homeowner and the contractor. I also think some of the wording in the fine print of the ahs agreement needs to be worded differently, it's misleading. I've lived in my house 12yrs I've had AHS coverage since day 1. I've paid every month and also paid the service calls, but yet I still have the same problems. I chose to have coverage because the way I understood it was that if ahs had to be contacted 3-5 times over the same issue, that issue would be resolved by 1 a cash out settlement for me to replace the issue or #2 for ahs to remedy the issue by providing a new system. 12 yrs of service calls and ahs annual premiums I myself could have used that money and bought myself a brand new system. I'll be discontinuing my contract with ahs after my latest problem is resolved on the same system.

My ratings comes from the politeness and care that you get on a call. It did not take anytime to get an appointment for a Tech to come out to my home to access my appliance. This is real professional Service.

So far, so good, although I have only been in my new home a month. Long hold times on the phone, but you can schedule online. Unfortunately, my gas fireplace wasn't covered - it isn't working and so that is a big disappointment. They are generally friendly on the phone. Response times from the professionals they hire are very good, and the issues have been resolved quickly. I am glad I purchased the warranty!

Everyone has been very helpful and super nice when we have had a claim. The only reason they are not 5 stars is due to the wait time on the phone. I understand that they are busy but so are we. Six hours waiting on the phone in one day is way too much. Maybe a call back system would be better.

Customer service is very good, contractors are professional, they don't cover all expenses like is represented in their ad but they do cut the total cost of repair down, the coverage is pricey. We have used our warranty twice and we are ahead of the annual cost compared to cost of repairs

For 25 years, AHS has given me a feeling of security knowing that with a phone call or online contact a technician, approved by the company, will come to my home and solve the current problem. This is an excellent option for homeowners that are NOT 'fix it' people.

Replacing my broken kitchen sink faucet was an ordeal and did not cover the required removal of the broken faucet from the marble kitchen sink surface. I believe that is a humongous short-coming of your alleged complete service. It cost me an addition $160 and your alleged "great coverage" for this particular job was horribly disappointing. How can you claim to replace a broken kitchen faucet when your repair person is NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE THE FAUCET as part of the job? HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR COVERAGE FOR THIS JOB!

I just purchased coverage with them and I have had one appliance break down. Someone was sent to repair but a part had to be ordered and the job is still not done. The 15th of September is the date for the repair to be done. The one complaint I have is that getting someone to answer when you call AHS is absolutely frustrating. I was told that my wait time would be 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

I want to talk to them about this job. When working with American Home Shield on other other jobs as the stove, refrigerator, dish washer etc everything works like it supposed to do but everytime or the 4 time companies were call for HVAC issues Home Shield seems to forget who there customer is. I'm going to elaborate more on how these companies are making up modification charges and freon amounts to collect large installation dollars.

Wait time on phone is insanely long. I have had been hung up on twice once the customer service rep calls back and or being on hold for an hour. I have had two different service people out to look at the refrigerator. The second servicer charged the refrigerator and it has not held charge. I have been trying to contact AHW to let them know that the service request has not been completed and tickets keep closing on this issue. I have even gone to your web site and it is not helpful or user friendly for a service e call that has not been completed.

The repair people came out promptly and were very good but I wasn't aware that with my warranty I still had to pay for so much! I paid the $100 deductible, the $60 for parts and then another 500 for more work and parts- I guess I wasn't aware of the costs of everything-

Air Conditioner went out. AHS charged me $100 to have a repairman come out and and my compressor was bad. I was told I would have to pay an additional $900 as AHS does not cover the replacement of Freon or the caps. At this point I decided to purchase a new unit and it cost me over $7,000. AHS covered only $700. I was disappointed since I was already out $69 every month plus $100 for service call. So that is like I got $531 actually towards the cost of the new A/C unit. I just felt like the price for parts and labor on the compressor was more than i was given. So they maybe good on other appliances, this particular situation I was not happy with.
