Quick to respond and doesn't charge unecessary fees. We paid for the initial call but the issue we had kept recurring and we didn't get charged for further repair.

Had an A/C compressor issue. Part A broke and caused part B to fail as well. Would only cover part A and not both. Let's just say I wasn't happy with their answer. Will more than likely cancel membership and save the 48.99/mo fee and put a little extra away to build up a household repair account.

AC service tech didn't do hardly anything, he didn't clean the AC unit, or service or tune it up. He threw the breaker and restarted it and left. He just wanted to use this as a sales opportunity to try to sell me a new AC unit.

Some of the repair people are useless and at times it takes them a long time to get authorization to get parts. Currently I have problem with pool. AHS assigned the repair company, he came and said he would have to find the part and come back - that was three weeks ago and he does not answer follow up phone calls or respond via email.

My expectation was that having AHS warranty would save me major out if pocket costs on home repairs which is not the case. I'm practically buying a new ac unit that has been holding on with replacement parts and freon that is outdated, yet my home warranty doesn't cover it. I'm disappointed. Also given conflicting info about what is our isn't covered with the first saying she believes it will be fully covered, only to have a "manager" call to tell me all that isn't covered. Shameful and obviously saving money for AHS at the policy holders expense. I'm looking for a better home warranty company

1 month in February w/o hear before my heater was fixed. Days this June w/o AC and still waiting. I am a customer w/AHS for over 15 years. I will cancel my contract my also after service calls, my monthly contract goes up by at least 10%. I am paying now $90 monthly and each service call I pay $75. Customer Service folks are rude and nasty. The barely speak English and extremely hard to understand .. AHS orders parts for fixes with no ETA. They don't allow me to purchase parts myself and pay for myself. I am told that if I do they would not warranty the service. While most parts are available online

Coverage started late, wasn't available when I needed emergency service in my new home. Fight to get coverage to start LATE but it sure ended right at the date it wasn't active 1 year later. Difficult to get answers from overseas call centers. Overcharged, difficult to get refund. Appliance program was worthless as they had no brands I actually wanted to purchase. Not worth the money, glad the seller paid and not me.

Seemingly after you pay your $100 fee for the service call, there really is very little that can be done while the plumber in this case is there, they have to take pictures and send a request in for permission to do repairs.

I've had very mixed experiences. Some issues have been resolved very easily but with my air conditioning I was repeatedly sent incompetent contractors and charged me for multiple visits for the same issue. It actually took years to resolve and we went a whole summer without Air conditioning while my wife was sick and pregnant. I called many times and tried to escalate the issue and get reimbursed for all the charges but to no avail. When my contract expires I will be finding a new home warranty company

I had a plumbing issue, my floors were still not in after hurricane Ida. The company they sent out said AHS would not let them do anything because my floors were not in. They told me it was a problem with my toilet after I paid them $80 to run a clean out! In one week, my whole sewerage system was clogged. I had a broken pipe and had to have it dug out and replaced, costing me $8,500.00! I have been a customer of AHS for many years and have only used them a few times. I think their response about my problem was unwarranted.

Technician said the motor for my AC unit was damaged by me after he told me he fixed my AC. He left the old part on top of my unit and it is still there. AHS has informed me that they will not fix my AC. We requested another technician and we are still waiting. I have had no AC in my house since Sunday. It is 99 degrees in my house right now. I have been a loyal customer and recommend AHS to all my friends and now that my AC need repair and I was denied. The technician said that he was doing what AHS told him to do. I am upset and disappointed with the service that I received. I am still waiting for a technician to call or for AHS to call me.

I put in a call on April 30 and was assigned a contractor and waited 2 weeks for the part to com in. After the contractor left my husband went to use the washer and still wasn't working. He called the company and was advise that they had to contact American Homesheild and that they would be in contact with me. After another 2 weeks not hearing from them I placed a call on 6/1 and was advise that it was my responsibility to have called you and that the contractor should of told me. Than she said that someone will call be within 24 hours of course I never got a call I am on the phone as I text you. I was advised that no guarantee they will find a contract and then the lady said they can't tell me when. I want my washer replaced it's been since April 31.

This company is not urgent when it comes to urgent matters. Furthermore, they have no interest in helping provide a contractor who is willing to work. The entire company "American" home shield is actually ran by Phillipines line operators who do not provide actual asistance and have no supervisor who can override case by case determinations and are not reachable. This entire company appears to be a scam because they avoid paying for servicesat all costs. On a Monday night we discovered a blockage in our plumbing system, after plunging the toilets we found this was a real issue that required plumbers. We immediately contacted AHS who said tehy could get a plumber to come out the following day. we cleared work schedules to be available for the plumber. When the 1-star rated plumbers arrived they complained that they did not want to be there. They came with inadequate tools to resolve or diagnose the issue. When I contacted AHS to complain about the contractor they provided, they told me that we were stuck with a plumber who would not make themselves available outside of the hours of 11am and 1pm (always requesting a 1-5pm time slot). After many conversations with AHS about the problem not beng resolved because of the plumbers inadequacies (while we could not run any water through our pipes, no bathroom, no showers, no laundry, etc.) AHS did nothing to help. We finally had to find our own plumber who came out the same day we contacted them and diagnosed the problem immediately. We informed AHS that we needed a right now solution; AHS did not care and has not accomdated payment in any amount for the plumbing services we had to pay for out of pocket. AHS seems to purposely contract bad (1-star reviewed) companies to frustrate the customer into paying for services covered by the home warranty plan. This company is an utter joke, they have our premium paid in full due to a new home purchase, have collected the service fee $85 only to provide no help at all. They would not entertain reviewing the planned work from our own contractor prior to work being initiated to see if they would authorize the work. They ended up rejecting our claim based on false report (they never returned to finish diagnosis but nonetheless provided a "diagnosis" of our plumbing)provided by their contracted plumber. AGAIN! after raising this concern to AHS I was met with spending over 1 hour on the phone to be passed around to phone reps located in the Philipines and could never speak to an actual supervisor. I will make complaints with the BBB and reviews on all available platforms as I hope this is not happen to anyone else.

I am going on 4 weeks without my refrigerator working. 4 parts later and 2 more today. I asked for buyout and they said they have to get a second opinion! this is ridiculous! contract says that you guys will replace if you cannot fix. does that mean after you replace every single part in it? 1 month is unacceptable for a refrigerator to be out. this is a high necessity. and if the parts they are replacing today don't work, then what?

Some good experiences, some bad experiences. Regarding the bad, I had to escalate to a manager and he did not provide me accurate information. Some contractors are better than others.
