I feel like I shouldn't have to ask if my issue is an emergency. They should ask or have a box online for me to select emergency. I've had to call back and have an order resubmitted to the contractor as an emergency call.

Good this time because of your executive client services team. The client services team did what should have been done with little objection this time. The front line customer service folks, however, are a 1 star group.

We had our AC fail 2 weeks after we had coverage. American Home Shield sent out an inspector and said that it failed BEFORE our coverage started. How can that be when we KNOW that it was working? We even had it professionally inspected. Anyways, we ended up buying a brand new HVAC with no help from you guys. Very disappointed. On the flip side, I thought the people we talked to were friendly and professional (that's why it's two stars as opposed to one), but unhelpful.

Took long time to get HVAC tech out (10 days), but problem fixed. On next occasion, I cancelled service request before it was assigned, but was billed anyway. Answering service in India acts interested, but apparently has no authority. Extremely long wait times.

For fixing a leak on a pipe inside my walls, I still had to pay a high amount of $$. And it seems that their call center is located in another country. Very hard to understand them every time I need to place a call to them, very frustrating!!

The last service call for my broken AC was perfect but the call before made no sense. The AC gentleman saw rotting in the ceiling pan which needed to be replaced. My request was denied and would probably have prevented the AC from breaking.

I was authroized to seek an outside contractor now AHS refuses to reimburse me for $1250. And, I am unable to talk with the people who authorized the work to be done. I think AHS is a better company than the folks on the phone are doing in representing the company. The AHS system is broken and no one is paying attention.

I paid HWS for the entire year. Unfortunately for us our A/C was blowing out hot air, the contractor that came out could not repair the unit and said that they sent a diagnosis to HWS and HWS claims that they never received it. This has gone on for almost a month with temperatures ranging from upper 79's to mid 90's. The technician has been to the hos 3 different times with no solution. The technician claim that they let HWS know that the unit cannot be repaired, HWS claims they have heard nothing from the contractor. You cannot talk to a supervisor at HWS without a ticket being made. We have made several tickets and no response. This doesn't sound like the wonderful company that I have been reading about. Maybe someone in authority will see this and respond to an unhappy and frustrated customer. Lisa snd Garry Martin

My home air conditioner stopped working and after waiting approximately 45 minutes for a call back, I was told it would be between 24 & 48 hours before a vendor would be scheduled to fix my air conditioning unit. I live in Florida and the temperature today was in the 90's. In Florida air conditioning not working is considered an emergency to be handled at any time of the day or night. This agent seemed to be reading from a script and had no clue what I was dealing with. I also asked to speak with her supervisor and was told he was busy. Her name was Savitrie and she was in the Ghana call center. I cancelled the request. Good thing I did not have a water leak in my home. It would have not been 2 days before a repair man would have arrived. Unbelievably poor customer service and very disappointed. We will not be renewing our home warranty with AHS. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

I have had nothing but issues since the beginning of signing on. Customer Service is horrible! They lied about sending a service tech to fix our air conditioner for over 2 weeks. We had to pit our tenant in a hotel and cover that cost! They gave us the run around again when it was a refrigerator issue and sent the same tech even when we requested a different one. He said there was nothing wrong with the frig. But it is clearly NOT getting cold! The tried to double charge me in one month and then keep calling me from collections saying I owe again! They have farmed all calls to the Philippines where they barely speak English and I can't understand 99 percent of what they are saying. And they understand pretty much none of what I'm saying. This has been a horrible experience and I am canceling all of my contracts with them!

My air conditioner was not cooling properly & a contractor was sent out. He concluded that a new condenser coil was needed. AHS gave me the runaround about the order placement. Needless to say, 20 plus days later in 100 degree temperatures, I called again to check on the part order. The agent told me that the order hadn't been placed yet & she could arrange it so AHS could just send me a check to make things whole. I told her that I didn't care about a check, I just wanted the a/c fixed. She could not give me an estimated time of when the order would be placed or shipped for the part. I told her to just cancel the entire order and I would just pay out of pocket for another air conditioning company to come fix my AC. I am very seriously considering canceling my warranty service.

The staff argued with me when I told them that their plumber was not acceptable, they claimed that the last 6 conversations with AHS over the weekend never took place, and AHS caused problems for me at work with their constant refusal to work with me and credit my account back for services not rendered by their contractors.The electrical contractor did not show up and I want my money refunded. My son took the entire day off of work to wait on the contractor that did not show. The previous plumber was awful I told AHS that I never wanted to hear from that plumber again and that he was not to step foot on my property but they said that I had to take the contractor they chose whether I liked it or not even when I had a problem with that contractor in the past. That is really poor customer service.

The company that they sent out to fix our AC had poor customer service and didn't even give us time to get to the door when they came. I called them and they would not answer or even return my calls. When I called American Home Shield they weren't very helpful, but most importantly, I had a customer service issue and requested to speak with a manager. I was unable to speak with a manager and was told that it would be 24 -48 hours before I received a call back. It was actually 8 days later. This is poor customer service and resolution of a problem. I still haven't received a refund from paying my $100 deductible. Needless to say, it is July and our state has been having heat advisories. I had to pay for another company to come out to service my AC.

Monthly cost increases every year. Have had to utilize for claims and there is always a long wait if you have to call in. They will replace with subpar products or damaged but read the fine print as it is disclosed. Gave me the run around for 3 months trying to replace my broken water heater. Currently researching alternatives for when my contract expires.

The AC technician did his job but YOU failed to get a replacement unit and I have been waiting for the last 3 weeks in 90 degrees heat in my home. I then had to buy 3 window units @$300 each in order to lower the temperature to a somewhat livable condition. Every time I call the tech, I get a machine. I finally got a call back last week and they told me that the unit was "on order". This is ridiculous. I have been waiting for three weeks. You should at least reimburse the cost of the three window units.

My AC went out 3 weeks ago, I conveyed that I did not want to upgrade to the contractor right away. Well you all did not actually order the new unit until I called to check on the order status. I tried to be patient because the contractor told me it would take you all a while to get the job done but by being being patient I get to go now a month in the middle of summer without AC. Also every time I call in, which now is everyday, I get a different answer from every person I talk too.

An AHS contractor replaced an AC fan with a lower rpm motor then what was specified by the manufacturer. When I contacted the contract company I was told it would work just fine. I then contacted AHS who then called the contractor and the contractor told the AHS rep the motor would work and that I would have no further recourse. This is unacceptable! I then called and requested to speak with a supervisor and 6 days later I'm still waiting.

Customer service has gone downhill, canceled policy due to poor service as represntation. Repair service companies they send are terrible, have horrific reviews' united appliance services and ADA Inc have terrible Google and yelp reviews, I would think a company as big as AHS would do their due diligence and send reputable repair companies with and actual place of business and not work out of their moms house. It's suspicious at best.

They will only fix things with a bandaid rather than replace them despite professional recommendations. Two different times they could not find a provider in my area for my service issue and the process to get your own provider and get reimbursed is too complicated.
