I wouldn’t even give 1 star to this company. This company is just good at scamming people rather providing good service. I cancelled my policy still company took the money for that month besides they were also asking me to pay the admin fees.

I would give them a zero if I could. Our dishwasher problem was reported to them 8/12/19 and tomorrow is 10/1/19. Needless to say the dishwasher is still not working. They say the parts are backordered so we have to wait until they come in. Who knows when that will be!! They did offer a $108 settlement towards a new one. What a scam!!!

I had a horrible experience in getting a hot water heater replaced. I was without running hot water for a month. I ended up paying 1100 dollars to get the hot water heater replaced plus the service fee. Now, I am trying to cancel my warranty and am now being threatened with being turned over to a collection agency. DO NOT use this company.

Every time I would call for service, they would not repair the item because it was not normal wear and tear. I had other technicians out that disagreed with their assessments, but they only used vendors on their list (I wonder why?) This company is a scam and I also reported them to the Better Business Bureau.

Worst service by any company I've ever experienced ! They will make any excuse, if you are lucky to get a call back, so they won't have to fix anything. Most of the time you will spend countless minutes and days on the phone trying to get answers which you won't. Be smart and consider different company or you will regret it !!!

My air conditioning broke. I live in Florida and i was told minimum three days for a repair person to come out. I explained this is unacceptable due to the heat. I also told them if you can't help me cancel my policy. I was put on hold and told can't help bad did cancel the policy. I'm out 367.00 dollars for repairs. Can't believe this.

This warranty covers everything except things that break. They take no responsibility for anything. I got it as a result of a purchase of our new home and would never recommend it to anyone. Get a good list of contractors and save the money you spend for home repairs. AHS is not a good company. Rep was rude on the phone.

Read the sample contract on their website. They offer the most cost effective replacements that will not be the same as the appliance or system they are replacing. For example, if your 5 ton 18 Seer Trane A/C system needs replaced, they will replace it with an off brand 14 Seer unit using the cheapest contractor they can find.
