1. Misleading: Was told at sign up that I could choose my contractors (not true at all). 2. Poor customer service: Have contacted customer service three times with promise by rep that there would be a call back. Never happened even when one rep gave me a specific time that I would receive a callback. 3. Terrible contracted service providers. Heat company came out and told me that the problem was due to poor maintenance and that AHS would not cover the issue so I would have to pay them myself (not true per AHS contract). They did not fix the problem. I paid an independent service provider to evaluate the issue (rotted heat exchanger). When asked the AHS provider admitted they had never checked the heat exchanger at either of its visits 4. Money waster - I paid $75 for the fraudulent service provider to come out. I paid $125 for an independent assessment. Now AHS is insisting on YET ANOTHER contractor come out to provide an opinion. I have had to take 4 days off of work for these shenanigans. I will have to take another day off for this new contractor (who has not called me to schedule despite being assigned to the project 48 hours ago. Oh, and when you call his number goes straight to voicemail which is full so I can't call then myself). The actual amount of dollars and time I have expended already is ridiculous and the problem is still unfixed. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I had a faucet leak. Plumber said it was because, I did not have a Pressure regulator valve on my pipe. It was not on my pipe when I bought my house. But, my warranty covers this. My warranty did not pay to fix the problem because the pressure regulator was not already installed. I did not agree with this. I paid to fix the problem. Not happy about this.

During a week of freezing temperatures, it took them several days to decide they couldn't find a contractor to fix my heater. I think they should have let me find a contractor sooner. The freeze was over before my heater was fixed.

I put in a claim July 2020, no response from Laha appliances. So I had to purchase a gas range. I only had 2 burners working. They never followed up with me. They told me that the parts were on order and I had to keep calling American Homeshield to keep checking on the order. I had to purchase a new gas stove and got it in December 2020. No response from American Homeshield about how much they are going to pay toward a $1100.00. So I not very happy with them. I have a order for my washing machine and it’s been 3 weeks and nothing done. I spoke with the gentleman and he said that he has ordered the parts.

We have had very good service with respect to requesting service and getting quick service calls. However, when our dishwasher was broken beyond repair it took almost 4 months and many phone calls to both HSA and the service provider before I got my new dishwasher. That said the new dishwasher I got was top quality.

The are good about coming thru on covered repairs and they are good about replacing when repair is not an option. However premiums have gone up 85% in just 3 years, On top of that, some vendors have been great and others I wouldn't hire on my own. They give you no choice in who they will assign.

Thomas Hofer Tampa, FL

I am very disappointed with the quality of service of American Home Shield's contractors. I recently had my covered refrigerator repaired out of pocket as American would not assign a trustworthy contractor to perform the repairs. I was without a refrigerator from Jan 6 to Feb 27. I had 3 separate repair requests - none of them fixed the problem. Finally, at my own expense I called a repair technician who diagnosed the problem - the American Home Shield contractor failed to connect the internal electrical plug when he replaced internal wiring. I asked American Home Shield to send another contractor and they refused. Bottom line - there is no quality control of contractor performance. I will not renew my warranty contract when it expires at the end of April.

We always have to have someone out for service and sometimes for the same thing. Very spring and winter or even summer for that matter we have to have someone come out and look at our furnace or AC. And we were charged another $125 3months after they did a furnace check before winter started.

They refused to take the responsibility for my finished basement being destroyed by water when they were informed by the company they first sent that they were unable to fix it. It was their responsibility to find me another company . They did nothing so I had to bring in someone to fix it. I had to have my entire bathroom floor taken up and dried out by servclean and now my floor and part of the shower has to be replaced. You guessed it AHS doesn’t want to hear anything. The funny thing is I understand error but I do not accept people not taking responsibility for THEIR oversight . So I would not recommend AHS to anyone.

AHS replaced my Lennox furnace with a poor quality Payne (Carrier) unit that is not preforming well at all. The new unit was physically damaged during transportation and the fan unit had to be replaced under warranty right away. Furthermore, the unit keeps tripping out by an internal high temperature safety device and is not able to keep up with the heating demand of the house (69F setpoint) whenever the outside temperature is below 30F. Two weeks after installation I still don't have reliable heat in my house. I am not satisfied with AHS performance and would not recommend them based on my experience.

AHS customer service is terrible there is no one that can give you the status of your service order. They do not call you back after they say they will with information. Last August I had a service order that was never taken care of and three months after the call I received a letter from Frontdoor telling me the problem was not the result of normal wear and tear. The plumber who looked at the issue lied after the problem it took three months to get the letter denying the service It was the result of normal wear that the drains would not drain. Last week I was told that AHS could not get a plumber so they would authorize an plumber that I hired which I did and he did the work. Now I have no idea how I will be reimbursed for the expense.
