AHS always do their best to satisfy their customer with good companies. I had a very bad experience with Total Air Care and AHS started sending a very reliable Service company to repair my unit.

I was originally skeptical of AHS, but I have used my policy twice; once on a plumbing problem and once for an appliance replacement. I am glad to report that both issues were handled satisfactorily.

As a first time client with AHS, there is nothing worthy to rave about on my experience on work service. I'm already looking into other warranty companies that can fill in that gap. AHS needs to focus on their contractors within in-network. AHS tend to hire ANY CONTRACTORS within their companies budget - which leads to unsatisfactory customers feedback. AHS should read their contractors reviews and work status on how well they solve issues. You're one of the lucky ones if you get a real professional show up at your door to do the job and get the job done efficiently without the runarounds. I'm currently still under authorization for my water heater to be evaluated (took 3 different contractors to come to the house for comparisons just to take a picture). Next week would be a month with this mess and nothing has been resolved. Service request payment gone to waste.

It took over six weeks to get our fridge replaced. We called everyday and got no where. Finally after the second visit from the repairman he finally called them while he was at our home to let him no that the part for our fridge was unavailable. But they new this after two weeks after the first visit. After the last visit from the contractor AHS did finally approve a replacement and we recieved a check for our fridge to be replaced but we had to go purchase a new fridge and send them proof of the new fridge. That part of the warranty was awful because if you don’t have three thousand dollars to purchase a new fridge then your screwed. Fortunately we had the money to do this. Once we sent them the receipt that we purchased a new fridge they finally sent us our check for the replacement but that took another two weeks. I do hope in the future if we ever need help from AHS that we don’t go through the nightmare that we went through with this one.

Customer service needs a lot of improvement. They don't call you. My experience shows that I have to do all the follow-up calling. No one reaches out to keep you abreast as to developments with your service call. When I call, the customer service rep wants to apologize. Well, apologizing isn't good customer service. Being proactive with effective communication is far better than a weak apology that doesn't change or improve the problematic situation. No discounts are offered, but delays mount. I've been dealing with getting the same problem resolved for over four months.

The claim initiation process could be streamlined. Finding an available vendor can be a lengthy process. (I recently filed a claim for a leaking water heater and from the time of the initial call until the water heater was replaced was 8 days) I don't know why I have to pay $100 up front before a vendor can even be located

It was an okay process to get service. American Home Shield should have it to where you don't have to pay 100.00 until they actually come to the house to do the service. Because the guy didn't even call me I had to call him and he couldn't find my info.

After being a client since 2007, this year our coverage of home appliances was inadvertently discontinued. Supposedly, that is a change that only I (as the contract holder) can make. I called for service on our washing machine, only to be told that we did not have that included in our coverage! I attempted to talk with one supervisor after another with promises that they would check in to it and call me back...I've never heard back from anyone!! The issue has never been resolved! That is extremely poor customer service, but they were certainly happy to collect my annual payment! This experience has definitely left a bad taste in our mouths.

I had a terrible time spending literally hours fighting for a claim to be honored. We had a leak under our home that the warranty company sent 3 separate plumbers out for. None of the 3 were equipped to do the job. I had to hire a 4th plumber and came out of pocket $11,300 for a slab leak. I notified the warranty company every step of the way however they refused to pay anything. Even though the contract clearly stated they would pay an aggregate amount of no more than $500 for a slab leak. I was even told by one of the reps that it wouldn't be covered because my home owners warranty should cover it. Long story short eventually after much frustration they agreed to pay $425.

Agents varied in ability to help. I had a refrigerator issue. The first service was in May. I was promised a call back from then since it could not be repaired. I never received a phone call. I had several phone calls(over an hour) to resolve the issue. Finally, I was told a certified Samsung repair man would be needed to confirm that nothing else could be done. One was to call me but never did. When I called him using the phone number given me by AHS, the man who answered said he was not a certified Samsung repair person. Needless to say it was frustrating. I called and got an agent who spend nearly an hour finding one for me and had me stay in the phone until I had a confirmed appointment. She was great. The Samsung repairman was great. However, the refrigerator remained in repairable. He told me an AHS adjuster would call me. I got no call. Frustratingly I had to call and repeat the entire saga to a new agent. He was not sharp. Said I needed new parts. Finally, he understood and put me through to purchasing. They sent an email and I got some compensation. So that part was ok. 1 follow through, 1 communication , mixed ability repair people. All in all it took almost 7months.
