They say they will repair or replace. When it comes to replace they only authorize about 20% of the actual replace cost. For minor sstuff they are great, lbut for major stuff they are a very major ripp off

They did not complete a service call and sent out someone who was unable to fix the issue and have never solved the issue. They have said multiple times they were cashing out and then they don’t. I had to call my own plumber and have it fixed on my own plus they charged me $75.

Horrible company to deal with. It is an American company, but when you call for service, you have to speak to someone in the Phillipines. I am so frustrated with this company. Don't go with this company if all you want are headaches.

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.

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.

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.

We have had a very bad experience with AHS. We have been customers since 2007; however, we have been dealing with a broken central AC unit for 2 months now. AHS has delayed approving an independent contractor since there are only 2 approved contractors in my area in NH. We will be filing a complaint with the state of NH insurance department.

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.

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.
