Time consuming trying to get someone on the phone. Too many phone numbers and buttons to push in the automated system. I purchased the 3x3 plan and read all parts and components covered. All parts and components ARE NOT COVERED.

So on day 8 no heat in February found out they have no intention of covering. I switched to this coverage from Choice Warranty to have professional tech on the job only to have the one who came to my house lie about my furnace and situation to get out of fixing it I guess

Aweful company. Have had bad experiences both with getting my ice maker and dishwasher fixed. Dishwasher took over 2 months to get fixed. Ice maker has been in the process of getting fixed since December 26. Contractors I have dealt with were extremely unprofessional. I would not reccomend this company.

Don't waste your money and time with this company. A lot of stipulations and they are always having a clause why a claim cannot be covered. The contractors they assign take days to come and and they are limited on what they can do.

This company sucks it’s all about denying denying denying your claim and charge it $125 service charge so they don’t come out of their pocket , finding codes that wouldn’t matter working very close with the contractor together try to get and investigate all kind of information to use it against you to deny your claim.

Better go over their contract with a fine tooth comb. Have had AHS for 2 years, filed 3 claims in 2 years and ALWAYS had to pay out of pocket on top of their "service fee". The terms, conditions, and definitions of repair are very broad. They hide behind it.

I paid extra for my septic system to be covered. A piece on my septic system broke. They sent three plumbers out. The 2nd two had never worked one septic system before. I still haven’t had anyone follow up with me about it. People at the call center. Don’t understand houses or repairs. They just read the notes. Very frustrating.

When you submit a request they state that everything is NOT repairable so they don't actually have to fix anything. Each time they pass you around department to department when you get answers and then finally say their systems are down and they will call back. It's a ping pong game of representatives and they don't want to do the work.

Bad Experience on 1st time service call. My A/C unit was throwing warm air and AHS sent a Technician from Sal S's Temprite Heating & Cooling, the technician came and said in his invoice "found leak in Evap Coil unrepairable" It is a RF410a unit and the coil can be replaced.

The longer you have the policy; the worse the service is. I am having AC issues and they have supported a vendor that is trying to screw me by charging me for a bunch of non covered items that the second opinion said that I did not need.
