Barbara Brown Allen, TX

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.

David Welbon Elmira, OR

Because when my ac went out in the middle of summer, they would only fix it with parts from "their" warehouse. But the compressor was out of stock, no knowledge of when it would be in stock, and they would NOT let me purchase one locally to be installed by "their" installer. So they told me I could wait until they got one in stock, or have it repaired by someone else at my expense and they would cover $600 of the $1500 cost of repair. Since it was summer and my medical condition requires ac, I had to get it fixed and eat $900 for repairs. BTW, the compressor was available locally and had it installed the next day by my old ac service people. Then American Home Shield lost the paperwork to get the $600 back they said they would cover.

There is a lot of stuff that you think would be covered that is not. Some of the contractors they use are substandard. Contractors sometimes don't communicate well and the people they send out sometimes don't seem well qualified.

We have been without heat since November 19, 2020. We have called them everyday for the past 70 days to try to get this resolved. A different person answers the phone and we get a different answer every time. They will not let us talk to a supervisor and say they will escalate the situation. The contractor only came out twice and didn't fix the issue, they were supposed to come back with new parts and never did. We have also tried to contact the contractor with no luck. The warranty company sent a new contractor out, but they couldn't fix it either. I would not recommend this company for your warranty service.

You can almost never speak with an American and when you ask they just say they can't and disconnect you. When a supervisor is supposed to return your call, it almost never happens. They look for every excuse to not honor a claim instead of doing what the spirit of the agreement is. There are more reasons as well. I would prefer another option but they have the market. They have been of value for me for my issues but the frustration is almost not worth it.

I had an issue with my kitchen plumbing. I had a blockage in my sink and a leak. The first technician that arrived was kind and professional. He fixed the blocked line but said he could not find a leak. I thought maybe the blockage was causing the leak. I found out we still have a slow leak. The second technician who came out was very rude. There were 2 of them. My son was home. He said we need a new sink and left. I called Bear plumbing and the technician is denying he said we need a new sink. I called your company twice to resolve this issue. A supervisor was supposed to return my call. I have not heard back. I still have a slow leak under my kitchen sink.

Coverage is OK not great. Finding a contractor is difficult. Often, contractors try to find ways of diagnosing problems in a way that excludes us from coverage. Come contractors appear almost lazy and don't want to do the work needed although it's covered.
