The contractor they have repeatedly sent out has been total garbage. Can't find the problem yet constantly asks us to pay for additional parts and services to fix an issue that doesn't result in a solution. They do nothing about it.

Twice assigned air conditioner problem to a company who refused the work resulting in a delay of 1-2 weeks to find another company to work on it. Of the other hand, they do well in fixing problems. But, they go go up on an annual basis at different rates. We have multiple policies and the rate increase difference is notable.

Once you get them to send out a contractor that has a 4.5 to 5 star rating on Google or yelp things are great. You really have to make sure the contractor they are sending isn't one with very poor reviews on Google or yelp or wherever.

I have this contract for a couple of years and the customer service helpline is horrible, customer service reps with broken english and hard to understand. Tried canceling the contract last year via the phone and ended up in a huge argument with the lady and she was nasty and insulting to me

The serviceman that came to our house was very nice and knowledgable. We asked for an estimate on getting a new AC unit but we haven't received it. Also, we have an older unit and after a couple days it started freeze up again and we placed another work order but no one was ever sent.

The Customer Service Reps. we spoke with seemed obtuse. We understood that the AC parts that were broken were not covered by our contract, but as the service company told us that they were unobtainable, given the age of the unit, we expected to be offered credit towards a replacement unit as had been done in the past with old appliances for which parts were no longer available.

At this point, I don't think AHS even deserves a 1 star, as they are the worst company in the home warranty business. They do not provide a good CS experience at all, as they read from a script and do not help you beyond that extent! I've had nothing but problems trying to set up a home service repair for our AC, as it was 105 the week our AC was not working and they just keep giving me the same line, that I would be contacted by the contractor they tried to find available, but I was unable to reach them. The voice mail was full and no other method available to reach them. Absolutely the worst way to take care of an emergency situation!

HSA seems that they do not care about the service provided by their contractors. Some of their contractors are subpar. They do not respond to HSA or the clients. I reviewed Air Design review online and they have a one (1) rating. Also, they have negative reviews with Better Business Bureau. This reflects poorly on HSA because you are recommending these awful vendors to service your clients and it's making HSA look bad. HSA also need more the 3 to 4 vendors for the metro Atlanta area. I asked for all vendors that HSA use to service clients. We are in Atlanta with temperatures nearing 100 and it is too hot to be without air. I have a heart condition and need air. Please do a better job of taking care of your customers. HSA is quick with charging the card on file; however, slow on providing the service.

Jeremy Jonas San Antonio, TX

Our A/C was broken during a recent heatwave in San Antonio, TX. The company that contracted with AHS worked on the A/C unit for four consecutive days (Monday thru Thursday) and failed to fix it. On Friday another work order was submitted to service out A/C. The internal temperature of our home was 96 degrees. Sleeping was nearly impossible. I contacted AHS Friday and Saturday, each time met with resistance about getting A/C repair service over the weekend. I asked for a supervisor to contact me, and no one did. Eventually our A/C service was scheduled for the following Tuesday. For as much as we pay AHS per month, there needs to be a contingency plan in place for severe weather conditions, such as the heat advisory we experienced during this time.

When AHS covers a repair and things go well, they're wonderful. But that's a big "IF." Most of the time they don't cover a repair or they don't cover it completely. Most recently I requested service. The tech did a phone consult, and it turns out that the appliance can only be repaired by a Samsung person. AHS still required me to pay the service fee. It was very disappointing to have to pay that only for the tech to say he couldn't fix the part.

Worse company to have service your home. They do not return your call as they say. They use sorry repair companies. They have no managers that you can talk to. I'm still waiting after months to get appliances fixed. After almost a year I finally got a replacement for my washer. I really use to like this company and over the years they have gone down hill. The representatives don't speak English well- at least some of the ones that I've encountered. I'm not trying to discriminate against any race but it's hard to understand the dialect. I'm constantly have to calm myself after the calls with this company. I wish that they get back on there A game.

My problem is not with AHS. When I realised that my hardwood floor was beginning to buckle, I called AHS an appliance repairman from Antech was sent. He ran a quick test and said the dishwasher is not leaking. Two days later, after my hardwood floors we ripped up and drywall was cut out, their leak detector showed me a video of the leak. It apparently had been leaking for a long time . I have an adjustor coming on Monday and will be calling on Tuesday, 6-28 to get the ball rolling for my new dishwasher. I will provide the name of my adjustor, as well as my claim info. They will be able to provide pictures/video, reports, etc. I am waiting until I have all of my pertainent info. I will be expecting a rapid replacement as I will need to have in place so the need cabinets can be built around itave in place

"My request was submitted on May 12. Today is June 15 and I still have no resolution. I have been given the run around by ProTech Appliance. They have been full of excuses. After reaching out on June 14 to AHS I finally received an email with a repair date of June 23rd which is more than a month from the initial repair request. This has been a terrible experience. ProTech is located in Conroe over an hour away. There are many reputable appliance repair companies in Houston, TX alot more accessible to my area."

The plumbing contractor was looking for a big money job. He had a lot of good suggestions. However, what he said to me and what he wrote on the estimate were 2 very different things. AHS doesn't want to cover my systems because"its not normal wear and rear? That's highly subjective. And an excuse to not cover basic services. Very frustrated. The only good one was the rekey. Otherwise, Im wasting my time and hundreds of dollars.

Quick initial response after appliance issue. However, problems were not correctly diagnosed or resolved for over a month. After a month a replacement was recommended but only one 'feature matched product' was offered and it was conveniently out of stock. All similar level items had an associated 'upgrade' charge and customer service was completely inflexible and unhelpful. I m still waiting for an appropriate replacement to be in stock.

Toma Belizaire Capitol Heights, MD

I am not happy with how I am being treated by AHS and United Air Temp. I was charged $100 each for 2 service requests, one of them was to have a hard start capacitor put in, which cost me $175 that I had to pay out of pocket. The other $100 charge was for the service request I put in to get my hot water tank checked. The Air Temp person was scheduled to come out to my home to look at the hot water tank on 6/3/22, but they never showed up nor did I get a phone call. I ended calling AHS letting them know what happened and they rescheduled my appointment for 6/14/22, but the same thing happened, no call and no show. I don't understand why it is so difficult to get someone out to my house to look at my hot water tank. This whole process is not easy and I feel like I deserve my $200 back that I was charged when I initially put in the service requests.

NORBERTO GILBERT Temecula, CA

I had a horrible experience. I recently put a claim in for my whole house fan. It started great within two days A company by the name Jaeger came to check out fan. The guy looked at the fan for five minutes then said he would be in touch regarding the fan. He didn't say much more than that. About three days later I get an email from AHS warranty stating they WILL NOT COVER THIS ITEM. The whole reason I bought into this warranty was for things like this. The woman I spoke with said it was denied because of how the company Jaeger explained how the fan broke. Obviously I was upset since I didn't break the fan it wore down until it stopped working, hence the WARRANTY. the woman at AHS said I could get a second opinion but I would have to pay the deductible again. Horrible, a warranty needs to fix things that are covered regardless of how things were stated.
