My heat pump stopped working and the 1st tech said I needed a part, while waiting on the part for 2 weeks, I had to call THEM to be told that I had to pay $1650 for this part! A second tech from another company came out and said, @No, you need a new Heat pump and I was also denied again! I called to cancel service after they took a payment and $100 service fee out of my account! Now, they have taken another monthly charge out after I've cancelled! Who wants to keep paying someone for nothing? I don't need you! You are a fraud and you have no concern for your members who have no heat in freezing temps, who are also seniors!

The repairs were completed however it's difficult to flush using the handle. I didn't attempt to flush the toilet myself while the technician was present because he flushed it in my presence. Someone needs to return and allow for easier flushing.

I turned in a claim and paid the fee for having my air conditioner fixed, and they did not have anyone to come out and fix it. They asked us to find someone on our own, this was difficult and our air conditioning is still not working on our second floor.

I think the service fee should be lower when you have to inspect the covered item and then if work needs to be performed on the item, the charge for the contractor to come out would increase to $100

I do not request services often. Slow response from Plumber , did not complete the job. He was rude. Requested second opinion from another week plumber. AHS continued to refer me back to back he original me a plumber. Finally I got a refer and had to payAMS additional money. This bad experience lasted about 4 months.

Our policy states AHS covers the HVAC, but apparently it doesn't cover all of it. So they denied our claim. And the entire process with customer service was not good either. First they sent out a company that did not work on our particular problem. The next company could work on it and recommended a replacement as no parts were available. AHS denied the replacement but did not notify either the company or me. After I called they sent out another company for a second opinion. This company did not work on my type of unit, so AHS had to send out another company. Again, the claim was denied but AHS did not notify us. It's been almost 4 weeks from my initial call. AHS has been a waste of time and money.

My past experience with my refrigerator repair was a disaster!! I was without a refrigerator for a couple of weeks before I had to purchase a small one to survive. I lost over 300 dollars in groceries! And it took over a month to get it resolved. 1st Choice appliance repair was horrible and lacking in customer service! AHS wasn't much better in tat depth. I made several calls and had someone in dispute dept tell me he couldn't change vendors, and insinuated that fridge may not have been working before tech arrived

When I have had to get home repairs done, it takes a long time to get my appliance repaired. It took 3 visits (almost a month) to get my dryer fixes. Also, my monthly installment prices increase each year. When I called to get a discount, I was told it was not possible. Not customer friendly, especially for long time clients.

Very frustrating! After paying for a contract, they send out substandard contractors & when the contractor is unable to remedy the problem, AHS attempts to deny the service/claim due to reasons that are not valid. They pay the contractor they chose who couldn't remedy the problem then penalize the customer when the inadequacy (& fault/problem) is with AHS's contractor. Being a customer for years, thinking you have a warranty to protect/assist is a crock-AHS has not demonstrated they care about their customers. I am currently researching other home warranties & plan to cancel my contract w/AHS. If I could rate zero (0) stars I would, but the options are 1-5 but truly my rating is zero (0) stars. Do better American Home Sheild!

Turnaround time was extremely bad. I was without a refrigerator for 3 months. They kept trying to replace parts on a 15 year old refrigerator when they should have just replaced the refrigerator. I was without air conditioning for 2 weeks in the Texas heat due to turnaround time. I spent hours on hold every time I called. There's a lot more issues but I don't want to go into them.

Is there any operations left here in the states? There's literally no way to talk to anyone who isn't a phone bank or work at home worker in the Philippines. There's no recourse for your mistakes and the wait times are interminable. I've had an open work request since 11/22 and 3 different technicians sent out, but no resolution or movement forward. WE HAVE NO KITCHEN SINK. Now your phone lines are down. There is no other way to contact AHS. Your company is inefficient and your employees are bound to a ridiculous set of "procedures" that make no sense and hinder anyone from making progress. If we didn't have a pool we would dump you immediately. I tried to leave a rating of zero, but your survey wouldn't even allow that. I could not be more frustrated with American Home Shield and your poor employees are at the mercy of 1000's of passed off customers. Joke.

At first the AC company came out and said there was no problem. Then the power went out on my thermistat again. I had you guys recall them and they did call once to let me know they could be at my house in 40 minutes. They never showed up, never called. I found out the fallowing Tuesday that they or someone cancelled the call. My heater still does not work. It is now 14 days since the recall and they have yet to contact me in anyway to make an appointment to fix the power issue to my thermostat. Your company American Home Shield tries to contact Right Tech Heating and Air and tell me to wait. All I do is wait and never hear back from your company or Right Tech.

When technician replaced pool pump, he did not ground it correctly. When technicain replaced garbage disposal, he did not remove plug from disposal drain correctly. Had to pay another techniician $75 to correct trouble. When my washing machine blew apart, technician said it was becuase we overloaded it. Second technician advised trouble was covered under warranty. When water heater broke it cost me nearly $700 for installation of the new water heater. When garage door opener ripped away from top panel of the garage door, it cost me nearly $3400 to replace the door and opener.

AHS no longer looks out for the customer, they have decided to write in exclusions named modifications so they don't have to cover the cost of the repair/replacement. Now the contracted service company gauges the customer for those modifications and AHS could care less. They have left the customer who pays for coverage flying in the wind. Makes it feel like the warranty I have been paying into for 20 years is worthless now.
