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.

I am on home currently close to two hours. There has been no communication from AHS for our washer. We have been without a washer for weeks. This is unacceptable. I will not be referring anyone to their business. Look at all the reviews below.

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.

Today is the 9th day without hot water and finally they approved the replacement of my water heater, only to be told the soonest the plumber can come is 3 more days.
