AHS enlisted A-US Air to come out and repair my furnace! The repair company is very good with very good employees who know their jobs. The repaired my furnace in a matter of 1 hr and was very proficient, knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend this A/C repair company to anyone who is in need of having any issues with their central Heating and Air repaired. Thanks AHS for all you do!!

So far so good! My water heater was leaking, and American Home Shield sent Virtual Plumbing out. Tyler H and another repairman were fabulous. They replaced my water heater! They were professional and on time; they did an amazing job! American Home Shield only charged me for the service fee, nothing else. I couldn’t be happier with my first experience with AHS and Virtual Plumbing!

I was in awe with them. They went beyond what I expected to get my water heater replaced. When the first company tried to tell them it was caused by a power surge and not to be replace by warranty so that it would cost me $1500 American Home Shield called and told me they were sending me a second opinion. And not to tell them what the first company said to get me a fair quote. And the 2nd company was superb. They looked out for me and American Home Shield.

American Home Shield has been a great peace of mind to have, because they are but a phone call away from getting my appliances back to working order or they’ll replace it with a new one, without any problem. You also have three months guaranteed warranty, if the appliance brakes down, Their best contract technician without a doubt is Jose with Valley Pro. They also have great customer service and are the best company as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been with other companies in the past and I can honestly say that American Home Shield is the Best!!!

We have been with AHS for 20 years. We had one lapse in a year because of moving to another home, covered by another warranty. We dropped that one for poor service and quickly re-signed with AHS. They are prompt, courteous and have always provided us with competent companies who have repaired or replaced items to our satisfaction. Would recommend AHS to anyone searching for a reliable home warranty.

This was the first time that we've had a home warranty and our garbage disposal stopped working about two months into our service. I checked that we were covered for that under our contract and we were! Reporting it on line was a snap and within--literally!--seconds, we had an appointment set up with a very good local plumber. They were there the next morning and made the repair promptly and efficiently. All we paid for as the service fee which was about 1/3 of what the normal service call would have been with this plumber. Great service and we saved money already!

Beginning with the call for help. The agent whom had taken my call was attentive to our needs. She scheduled a company to visit our property and assess the problem. The technician, Tony contacted me about 20 minutes prior to his arrival. He inspected the furnace determined the problem, he didn't have the replacement part in his van. he then contacted his office and another employee met him and delivered the part. Tony installed it and our furnace is working smoothly again. Thank You, AHS and Climate Pros of Northern Nevada. Sincerely The Foster Family

For the monthly payments and the quality of the service I have received each time it is well worth it. The companies Home shield have send out to do work on my batheroom toilet and my heater, were very professional. There arrived on time and made sure everything was in working order. The person or persons who came out also explain problem and how it was repaired.

I'm a huge fan and grateful customer of American Home Shield. Being a home-owner, it is so reassuring to me that if something inevitably breaks down, one call to AHS and they will send reliable contractors to fix the issue. And if the issue is not fixable, they will replace with an equal or better model. They have replaced my Super Capacity Washing Machine and my Hot Water Heater. I have nothing but praise and the highest recommendation for AHS.

I’m very statisfied American Home Shield, their on line claim form is as easy as 123. It’s fast, efficient and professional when it comes to the companies they assign for your service. I’ve never experienced any problems with AHS and I’ve been with AHS for a couple of years and have had numerous claims and can say each one was a satisfying experience!

This is the first time I have used the warranty. My washer was making a terrible noise and I called AHS. They had a service person call me the next day. He came and picked up the washer for repair. He ordered the parts, which took longer than he had thought. He delivered the washer back in a week and so far it is working fine. I am very pleased with the service.

America Home Shield was a very good investment when we bought our home a few years ago. AHS uses latest technology when setting up a repair and it moves quick. The few times we had repairs done it was set up and complete within 24 to 48 hours from time of call, the contractors were first class and very professional. I highly recommend AHS to anyone seeking a home warranty.

It's a little early in the relationship to be writing a review, all I've used it for was re-keying the locks, but Alex, the technician, was quick, neat, personable, and gave excellent customer service. It took only a few moments from placing a call to American Home Shield and receiving confirmation that I'd get an email or call from the locksmith.

I used the website to report a problem with our gas furnace (Colorado in February), I received a text almost immediately from AHS with details of the company that would be contacting us. The company themselves called me within 15 minutes to set up an appointment for the next morning. Their call out fee was more than the amount it cost me through AHS, so I would recommend it to anybody.

Immediately upon receiving my report of a malfunctioning washing machine, I received confirmation of the report and information on the company tasked to repair the machine. I can’t say enough about the immediate response and how professional the technician was. Everything was as it should be, fast service, consistent communication, and a working washer!

I have had AHS since the day I received the keys to my home 2 1/2 years ago. I couldn’t have a better new home welcome gift. I have had to use their services 3 times for repairs to appliances - refrigerator, heater, and water heater. Their timeliness, professional advice, and selection of service providers is first rate. I feel confident in knowing I have AHS to rely on for my home maintenance needs.

While the communication with American Home Shield can occasionally be a challenge (e.g. long wait time to speak with live representative), the quality of service provided by the company - as measured by its licensed contractors arriving on time and performing reliable repairs - is excellent! We carefully researched various home warranty firms and understand why AHS enjoys a positive reputation, as evidenced by the large number of independent customer reviews. It is without hesitation we would recommend them to other homeowners!

We have been a policy holder with AHS for 13 years. I can't speak for others but we have greatly benefited from our coverage. Any issue that has come up has been taken care of by AHS and we are very pleased with the fact that they repair or replace exactly what the policy states. We are very grateful for this peace of mind that "help" is just a phone call away! Don't ever want to be without it!

We had an AC compressor go bad. I called AHS and they assigned the job to AirBoss here in the Tampa area. They called within 30 minutes of being assigned, were very informative, sent guys out who confirmed the problem and ordered the replacement compressor. When it came in they called to schedule the installation, and did so with no issues. We paid the service fee and cost of refrigeration above the AHS covered limit. That's what the contract called for so we are happy with the way the process went. We have absolutely no complaints with either AHS or AirBoss Mechanical Tampa

I called Anerican Home Shield to report I had a problem with my stove, It was not lighting properly and had a crack in glass surface possibly effecting the lighting. Suffolk Appliance responded to the request with in an hour to set up an appointment to check the stove. The tech reviewed and made up a parts list and once the parts were in, they scheduled repair which included a top replacement and rebuilding of 4 burners. Very pleased with result, I was surprised they found the parts.

So far I have four properties with AHS. Recently just replaced ice maker on both refrigerators, Heat Pump that was 20 years old, and they stepped up and paid for the damaged item, saving me $1400 towards an upgraded unit from 13 Seer to 16 Seer, Stove 20 years old with coils, totally replaced, but I upgraded for $200 for flat top, and other issues during the year as far as maintenance on heat pumps. Reason for choosing AHS is the potential cost of water heaters, heat pumps/ Hvac, and plumbing. It pays for older homes.

My husband and I have had AHS since July of last year (2018). We've made three services calls of which two were completed exceedingly. one was a problem with the ice-maker in the refrigerator of which AHS sent out a technician within a day or two determined appliance was not repairable and was informed of options for replacement and within 10 days a new refrigerator was delivered at absolutely no cost to us. Second call was regarding a an electrical issue of which AHS sent an electrician and repaired promptly and satisfactory. I would have give 5 star rating were it not for the issue regrading HVAC repairs. This has been an ongoing issue for the last couple months but I honestly believe this is due to the contractor the has been assigned to repair the appliance. Overall I would recommend AHS to friends and family, my only critique is the company can do a better job answering the call when service is needed or implement a website that allows customer to freely interact with representative for on-going issues and follow-ups.

I’ve had coverage fro AHS for 10yrs on my current home and have always had an excellent experience with any and all repairs. I’ve had to use my coverage on average once a year. Not having their coverage is like not having insurance on my vehicle to me . I highly recommend this company. Over the years they have streamlined the process to file a service request and have chosen very experienced companies to handle the issues!

I love American Home Shield for the convenience. When I needed a plumber, I called and they came right out. They worked with me and my schedule. They were kind, friendly, professional, and very courteous. Also, when my furnace went out on a very cold Michigan winter day. They came right out and fixed it. They are a reliable company. I'm glad I have them.

I’ve had American Home Shield for about 8 years and have never even a questionable interaction with the company . The employees of the company have always been professional, courteous, and respectful. The repair personnel have been professional and taken care of repairs or replacements of unrepairable object in question. I am a single female, 70 years old.. having AHS keeps me from being taken advantage of by companies that don’t have my best interest in mind. I think every single female that owns their own home should have this coverage.

American Home Shield assigns a contractor for the particular problem once I file a claim. This time it was plumbing, specifically, my hot water heater. The original contractor would not respond to my calls so I contacted the company and we discussed assigning Camden Services. I have had previous excellent experience with this company and this time was the same. They responded quickly and did a perfect job. I am grateful to them as well as AHS for assigning this company without argument. Thanks for the professional assistance on both of your parts. RP

After a week passed did hear back form his so call the repair man and he informed me that the part was no longer made.. After that AHS they paid to replace mine with a new Refrigerator.

I reside in California. On three separate occasions, I have used the services of AHS, once for the water heater, second time for my furnace and thermostat, and a third time for the a/c. Each time, the AHS rep answered the phone promptly and was very courteous. The service providers always called me within 24 hours to set up an appointment service time . All repair jobs were done professionally and efficiently. So far, I have been pleased with AHS and their contracted service providers.

I would not be without AHS. I started out with American Home Shield's, and for some crazy reason I went to another company. As soon as that contract year was up because of the difficulties I had with that company, I came running back to American Home Shield as fast as I could. I say this is a reputable company that stands by there commitment of professionalism for their customers. Most satisfied with American Home Shield's. I also say THANK YOU AHS, FOR THE SERVICES YOU HAVE PROVIDED TO MY HOME. And I would recommend this company to anyone.

I guess this was partly our fault, but when we needed our furnace repaired, the technician indicated he has approved for us to purchase the thermostat since he didn't have one like the one we had to replace it with . He indicated AHS would reimburse us in full for the cost and we purchased one like the one we had. That in fact was not the case, they would only reimburse for a set amount and not what we had paid. We felt with all the years we have been with AHS and not had many claims, they could have reimbursed us for the full amount. We were not pleased with this outcome. We am, by the way, still waiting for the reimbursement.

An AHS warranty was included for a year when i purchased my house in 2011. We started having electrical issues and AHS came out and two awesome techs fixed us all up. Since then I've had an old washer repaired, stopped up drains cleared, a new well pump (in like 4 hours from call to completion), and a old oven repaired. All service has fabulous. My mom has AHS warranties on all her properties now too. I think AHS is a must have, especially for older homes.

My furnace went out after purchasing this home 6 months ago. I went online and submitted a claim at 0400 in the morning and the agents from American Home shield got back to me within a couple hours. They had a HVAC technician out there that day and it was repaired within 3 days due to needing to order a part. Absolutely the best investment I've made, the one year plan cost $600 that the sellers paid for and this repair alone would've cost $800 but I only paid $70 for the service call. Would definitely recommend American Home Shield if you are purchasing a house.

Sigmond Plumbing did an excellent job in replacing our water heater. They came the next day to check it out and found a leak so they contacted American Home Shield with the assessment and indicated that it needed to be replaced. They came the next day and replaced it that evening. They were very professional and courteous. I would not have anyone else service my plumbing needs. Outstanding service!

They have always been very responsive to our requests. After a very frustrating warranty issue with a 13 month old refrigerator with interactions with Sears regarding the failed compressor, numerous calls to Sears corporate offices, an AHS representative was extremely interactive with Sears to work out a solution. She was the reason it was resolved without additional costs to us.

I've been a member of AHS for over ten years and have benefit greatly from my warranty contract with them. There have been a few incidents where their selection of service technicians are in questioned. I have had conflicts with initial service visit payment, in which I had to send to AHS the honored pay stub from the bank as proof of payment. After 10 years of membership, I find this somewhat disturbing and insulting. However, it would seems that I was not alone in this conflict, AHS has recently given its members the option pay the initial service on online when putting in a new claim, which is good but they still need to run better background checks before assigning service technicians to their customer's claims.

Have been with AHS for one year and am very pleased with the service Had to use you twice and both time everything went as planned and the contractors were very good and fast. The only problem I have is customer service wait time.. The other day I called my wait time was over an hour, which i could have done other things instead of staying on hold. The customer service rep was very pleasant and helpful which was great. Will continue with you.

Pro: for only a minimal service fee I have 13 major items in my home covered for parts and labor. Labor is the most expensive part. Recently, I learned that for just one service fee ( mine is $125 per visit) I can group numerous repairs at one time for the one same service fee. I like that. A recently changed policy I also like is that I can now opt to have my service fee charged only after 2 days after the job has been completed instead of before and I also like that I pay American Home Shield directly instead of the old way which was to pay the contractor directly. Customer service when needed is par excellence. Con: A small con is that I cannot choose my own contractor I research or at very least can choose among a group that American Home Shield offers. Currently, there is no choice. The worst part of all is that calling to speak with billing is near impossible and frustrating. Also, they increase your monthly subscription every year with absolutely no form of negotiation or loyalty (years as a customer or "lifetime Value") usage, amount of items covered measured to determine, customize, maintain same subscription price or even reduce. This is a big problem that could eventually sever my relationship with American Home Shield one day. If they have integrity they will put my pros and cons on their website untouched! Let's see.

I called about my furnace/ heat pump. They said they would send someone out. He came and didn't say much of anything. I called AHS and asked what was going on. They said he had ordered a compressor. I asked for a second opinion. They said it would cost me $100 if he agreed with the 1st opinion. He didn't. He explained everything to me and wrote it all out and it was a coverter (pitted ) and replaced it Troy Heating and Air was a quick, efficient, and reliable service.

Over the years I have had certain appliances break down and having AHS saved me a lot of money. It's worth having even if you only use it once a year. Just pay the deductible and your set. AHS is prompt with getting the subcontractor to get in touch with you either the same or next business day to set up an appointment. Having AHS will be your best investment you can ever have when you own a home.

I’ve experienced AHS and their competitors. Based on home appliance services offered, customer service, their repair service vendors, response and customer recovery, I would highly recommend AHS. While other companies don’t hesitate for a moment to deduct funds without fulfilling or completing services requests, AHS ensures that my needs and that of my home is taken care of first.

Great company, I have used him for several years now. They provide excellent coverage and will fix anything covered on the warranty with no questions asked. I have use them for several large items in my home to include my entire HVAC system and they water heater. Both for a place with only paying the deductible. They use reputable contractors to do the service calls. The only complaint I have is the few times I have needed to call it has been a 30 to 45 minute wait. Fortunately all your service calls and work orders can be done on the mobile app.

I was a member when you just called in for service and spoke to a friendly customer representative. I left for a year several years ago but then signed back on after a year and plan to stay with a company I feel has been reliable and professional. There have been a couple of bumps along the way but they were positively worked out. With today prices on home services, it pays to have a company that can help you out a bit.

I was having problems with my air conditioner...called AHS and they took care of everything. A local company was at our house within a couple of days..assessed the problem and fixed it. AHS automatically deducted our fee and that was the end of the story. How easy could that be and how nice when everything is usually such a nightmare to get things done to have someone take control and do the work for you. I could not be happier with my first experience.
