AHS is a scam, save your money. Go with a different company. My dishwasher has been leaking for over a month, the cabinets are wet and baseboard below dishwasher is wet. All these need to be replaced. I will also get mold problems soon. And everyday I call AHS and I get the same excuse that I have to wait.

So much better than Fidelity Home Warranty. Easy to file a claim and get a vendor assigned for your problem. I own a house built in 1948 so a home warranty is a must!

On 3 May I called to fix my A/C but AHS didn't do anything at all. I ended up paying $1,000 for lodging and ended up paying $7,500 for a new unit. Plus the $75 AHS fee + $511 for freon that it wasn't need it = a total of $8,086 that paid and AHS paid 0 nor assisted me at all.

The whole process is unacceptable to me. This process started May 11, 2022 and I’m still seating here in eighty degree weather with no AC. Now, the company R & W has had replacement parts for two days. So now, Maybe he can install it tomorrow after nine days.

Stay AWAY!!! This company has the worst service in the world. Complete theft. Their policies are to keep billing you even when you sell your home and cancel. Then they tell you they can't do anything about refunding the money. They Keep auto-drafting because it's their policy. DO NOT GET American Home Shield.

I pay $50 per month and paid an extra $100 for someone to look at my washing machine. Sears was supposed to show up between 12 and 4 pm yesterday and they never showed up. No one called. They sent seven text messages with links that did not work (my phone works fine) and rescheduled for 2 1/2 weeks from today! This has been a nightmare.

The worst experience ever. We had it for one year. Had a horrible experience with a heater that needed to replaced, the contractors sent to our home were the worst and we filled complaints but nothing was solved for us. $1560 out of our pocket later and the most irresponsible customer service ever, we had it and canceled our policy for good.

Took 4 months to try to fix my fridge. Then closed the service request without fixing it. No email support offered. No chat support offered, you need to call in every time. Refused to let me talk to a manager when calling in. More than happy to have an endless string of ongoing repairs, will never admit that the entire unit needs to be replaced.

JOHN M CAMPBELL ,

When a company raises its' rates in the middle of your contract & blames it on their vendor, it's time to stop doing business with them. What is the point of having a yearly contract if it can be amended without informing the customer? After being a loyal customer for 10 years, this is inexcusable.
