waiting on call over 3 hours , AHS don't call back , AHS will make it impossible for you to replace essential appliance like oven or stove... AHS ask to take the oven and stove for 5 weeks to repair . stating 5 weeks without oven and stove will force you to buy one.....

On normal repairs AHS rates 5 Stars. They have some dedicated people to insure you are taken care of.

I have had American home shield for 5 plus years they started off great now the customer service sucks and when you call, the call center is over sea and you can't understand what they are saying. The contractors half won't answer the phone the other half the voice mail is full. I have been waiting for two weeks to get my air and still waiting.

Very bad service . Can’t fix washer machine almost for 1 month. I requested to talk to the manager many many times but was ignored. They changed vendor without my knowledge and still no result. Finally I spoke with manager, and no good outcome . The worst one. Going to cancel the contract.

Over a month now without AC. 2 separate techs came out and said AC needs replaced. No response from AHS. TWO HOURS on hold... 3 different days they've said they'll call me back and they never do. This is the worst customer service I have EVER encountered.

I used to like the service years ago. Now it takes months to get something repaired even when it is clearly covered by the contract. I can't recommend the company to anyone until something changes and the service improves again.

Worst ever experience with any customer service or a contractor. DO NOT CHOOSE! The contractors are just as bad. The plumbing work was not completed, but they had no problem cashing my check. If there was a option for a AERO rating, I sure would use it for this company and its contractors..

Because the first time they came they didn't actually fix the problem and the second time they came they didn't even know what the problem was, there was absolutely no follow-up--even though I was told there would be, and yet, both times I had to pay $75, and I've been harassed to rate the company, so here we are.

I had AHS for over 25 years. Cancelled them yesterday because they denied paying for my Hot water tank. Their customer service rep said the tank would need to be evaluated. I could not take the chance of having water pour all over my basement. So I got plumber to replace my tank and cancelled the service contracts that I had on two houses.

You warranty or insurance plan is only as good as the providers you contract with, and the HVAC contractor in our area is absolutely horrible. For the area, they have reviews of 2. Who would select a company like that with numerous 5 star reviews in the area. They are dishonest and a total scam, and you are too for using them.
