Bill D Alexandria, VA

We switched to AHS from a competitor about two years ago. We've been very happy with their service and responsiveness. They're really great at both. My score has dropped as it appears they're starting to allow contractors with really awful reputations to participate. I requested repairs for a broken faucet, a contractor more than 50 miles away was assigned. When I checked that contractor's yelp reviews - they were a horror show. More than 70 recent reviews that were 1 star, with excoriating comments about the contractor's jamming them for very expensive, and naturally, non-covered fees. So, we canceled that appointment and we'll use a local plumber we know. If I see this again, we will cancel our AHS account immediately.

DISAPPOINTED I have a home warranty contract with American Home Shield. My Stove/Range large burner started shooting flames and staying on high temperature in October of 2020. I put in a service repair. Paid the $100 service fee and Sears Appliance came out. After two months wait some repairs were done. In June of 2021 the same large burner stated shooting flames and remaining on , on high temperature no matter how I try to turn it off. The oven also stopped working. I called and reported this to American Home Shield. I was told that the service contract with Sears has been closed. I was told that I would have to open a new service contract an pay another $100 service fee for a new contractor to come out. I did this. Artic Appliance came out and did an estimate, back in the end of June. Almost six months later. every month my monthly plan fee is being taken out of my account by AHS and no repair. I've been shuffled from the Escalation, to Authorization, to Customer Service and back around to the Technician about ten times each, after waiting on hold for over two hours at a time to speak with someone. Almost six months and still being shuffled around and around and around, with monthly fees being faithfully withdrawn and no repair. Six months. Six months. Six months.

Limited coverage with the upgraded plan. Encourage everyone to read the fine print and the full policy. A lot of items are not covered. Try to get assistance with a clogged drain line to find it was not covered because it was not considered the main sewer line. so the drain from my washer and kitchen would never be covered because they consider it to be a branch off the main sewer line.

My A/C quit working in July. I called AHS and they advised a company would be out. After sweltering in 90 degree plus heat for four additional days, a technician arrived. He spent an hour "diagnosing" the issue as bad compressor and no Freon. Cost to repair, $4522.00 The technician said he did not have an estimate as to when the parts would be available or when they would be able to fix unit. This A/C is less than two yeas old. I called the original installer, they came out and said compressor and Freon were ok. The part that was faulty was on inside blower unit which the first technician never looked at. Cost to repair was $850.00. I advised AHS of being ripped off from the company they sent out and asked to be reimbursed. After numerous emails, phone calls, hang-ups by AHS, I finally was told they would not reimburse me. This is not the first time I have heard of AHS being unresponsive in settling concerns. This is reflective of their 3.9 overall rating which I give a 2. Then to top off the terrible customer service, they charged my advanced monthly fee of $39.00 on the 15th and wanted to charge me another fee of $39.00 to cancel. How is that customer service? What about returning my advance $39.00 taken on the 15th? I'll be contacting my state SCC and BBB as also warning my friends and acquaintances to stay away from AHS. Bad company, terrible customer service. E. Smith, Richmond, Va

I have been trying to get my AC fixed for over two months (Since May 23rd and today is 7/29). First, guy came out and added freon without looking at the system. After that, I spent a month trying to get a hold of him and AHS but he had disappeared. They sent a different company after I finally got a hold of their social media resolution department and that guy came on on the only day in July when it was a cool day and said "I dont see anything wrong". Now the Social Media people havent answered me and the regular call center, where no one speaks solid english and you can hear chickens in the background, wants me to start over with the process and ignore every attempt i have made to escalate the issue. I have been with this company for a very long time and their new service is aweful.

I filed a claim on 4/6/2021. 21/2 months later my refrigerator still was not fixed. The company S&S appliance repair is rated as one of the worst companies in the industry. I tried to get a different company but AHS refused, Almost 3 months later they allowed me to hire my own contractor with the promise to reimburse me. The new contractor found that S&S installed the wrong condenser and installed it wrong and that caused my compressor to burn up. $5175 later my refrigerator works. When I asked to be reimbursed. AHS reneged and would only pay $3000 if I purchased a new appliance. My refrigerator cost $12000 -15000. I don't know where all these 5 stars come from .

We've had them for over 15 years. Haven't needed them a whole lot, thank God, however, this last service call went horribly wrong. They have outsourced their customer service internationally, so calling in when you're already upset to speak to someone that appear to understand you isn't the best at helping your upset customers. Escalations to supervisors are unavailable. You have to submit a request for a supervisor to call you back, which of course never happens. Repeated promises of all these different departments needing authorizations. Notes deleted from my open case. I've been lied to. Requests on line show my call was closed as complete, however, they claim it shows something different on their end. Their information is all over the place and I got a different response/status update each time I speak to someone. The only breakthrough I got was finding the number of the contractor and he went above and beyond to reach out on my behalf. I only was able to hear back from a supervisor today because I was refusing to hang up with customer service until a supervisor called me while I was on the phone with them. They started off really good in when I first got them - that's the only reason they got more than 1 star. There is no phone number anywhere on the web to complain to their corporate office, which speaks a lot of volume on the number of complaints that come in on them. Their Facebook says they respond within an hour to messages. That's also a lie. It's about 1 time a day, which doesn't really help if you are needing some help and can't get it from calling in.

My first claim with the American Home Shield did not result in any issues. However, this second claim more than a year later is nothing but issues. My stovetop isn't working and I submitted a claim. Everything seemed to move quickly. They gave it to A&P APPLIANCE REPAIR and I received a call within 15 minutes to schedule. We scheduled for the following Monday morning. That morning I received a call that they wouldn't be able to come by until Monday afternoon or Tuesday. I didn't hear back from anyone until Wednesday morning giving me a 15 minute notice to them arriving. Despite telling Angelo I would be in a meeting until 10:30 they arrived at 10:15. Angelo proceeded to not hear me out as far as the issue with my stove. He decided he knew what the issue was and how to fix it, but when he repeated back what I was experiencing with the stove it wasn't even close to the issue. I expressed my concerns to American Home Shield. They stated they would talk to the contractor so that my next experience was better. The following week we scheduled for between 9-10am. I received a call at 11:15 from Angelo saying he was at my house and asking what time we had scheduled for. He came in and quickly did the repair, but now my stove top is even worse than it was before. I contacted American Home Shield and they have tried pushing me into using Angelo again despite two bad experiences. They had A&P Appliances give me a call, Angelo sounded annoying when he asked what the problem with my stove was. Turns out it is his company and he is the only employee so there is no one else they can send. American Home Shield won't send another contractor. A supervisor was supposed to call me back after speaking to them last Monday. I was trying to be patient but I cook every day so the stove top not working is an issue for me daily, it is now Thursday of the following week so I called back. I am told that a supervisor is looking into this, I am not allowed to know what the supervisors name is and they pretty much just rushed me off of the phone. I was getting another call on the other line so I thought it might be them giving me a call back but it was not. They promise a service guarantee but when there is an issue they just ignore you. I think I need to cancel and switch companies at this point.

Furb Bushnav Katy, TX

READ THIS FIRST: Up until your HVAC is the one up for repair Got this home warranty from the seller from when we bought our 10 yrs old house. Pay a $75 fee for booking the service and they send a contractor. I got to use 3x since May 2020 and all went well, problems fixed (electrical and overhead microwave with no out of pockets and an a/c freon recharge where the coverage AHS has to pay is only $10/ pound with me shelling out the rest of the cost totaling $375). The other day, I called in for A/C not cooling and was not heating up last winter in the 3 rooms on the 2nd floor The appointment was set and I met with the assigned contractor today. He informed me and showed me that the A/C refrigerant coil was leaking (not so sure how that is related to the heater problem that I told him) and I was told that he will write a ticket and send to AHS. Then the email came, "There are limitations associated with approving your HVAC for dispatch 61------- under your American Home Shield home service contract at ----Home Address-------. Please call 833.603.0586 to learn more". I called and low and behold, only the parts will be covered (not sure about the labor) and the rest of it like "drain pan, supply mode, drain lines, refrigerant line etc..etc.." are not included and I am expected to pay for it totaling to about $1,500++. My contribution to the Freon I understand but the others costs are mind-boggling. I got so confused and asked the service adviser to explain why I have to pay that much and he said it is because those parts are not included as a part of the unit. What confuses me is that how can those be not part of the unit. Without those parts, the whole system would not function. It will just be a hunk of metal and wires. AHS's should not include HVAC coverages in their list if this is how they approach HVAC repairs. Google says the cost of the repair for my A/C's issue is between $600 - $ 2,000 (parts and labor included). If I would be paying the contractor $1500++, doing the math, what is AHS paying for? I gave this review 2 stars because of previous services, and a negative 3 on how they approach HVAC repairs.

So far so good. I've used them a few times and the service has been good. We had the same plumber twice and they did a quality job, I was very pleased. I gave 4 stars because a drain pipe broke in the ceiling and it wasn't completely covered, I had to pay an extra $485 to the plumber.

I opened a service request at the end of November for a dishwasher that won't run because the door latch is broken. The tech ordered a part to complete the fix. The part is on backorder from the manufacturer with no estimate of availability. I've called the tech almost weekly for 3 months for a part status update. I've also called AHS four times for an alternate resolution, possibly replacing the entire door instead of waiting on the latch. Three times they told me the only option would be a full replacement, they would submit for authorization, and someone from AHS would call back with details once the claim was approved or not approved. I never received a callback. On the second and third call, they couldn't give me any information if my request had been reviewed or even sent for review. On my last call to AHS, the rep put me on hold and said they called the tech and the part would be delivered this week. I called the tech today, and they told me that they have no information on a delivery date or when the part will be available to ship. The long hold times, unclear communication, and lack of follow-up are extremely frustrating. Falsely stating that the part would be delivered this week is inexcusable. I understand that parts can be on backorder or have shipping delays. Waiting indefinitely for a part (I'm now at 3 months) is unacceptable. I regret using AHS to complete this repair and will switch to another company when my warranty contract expires. Has there been any value with AHS? Sure...creating the service request was easy, but every step since then has been tedious and disappointing.

DO NOT deal with this company. On their TV commercials they seem like a respectable company but they are only as good as the people they send to your home to do any needed repairs which I would not recommend this company because of that for there are ALWAYS out of pocket costs that we the consumer are demanded to pay on a covered item under their warranty plan. Here are some examples I had with this company, #1. Hot Water tank needed replaced. First company they sent to my home stated I needed to pay them $500 on top of the warranty. Reported this to American Home Shield (A.H.S.) who sent out a 2nd company. Replaced the Hot Water tank but charged us $155 out of pocket costs for a in line pressure dampener. I paid it before I can to realize what American Home Shield was all about. #2, Central Air Conditioner needed repaired. First company they sent out never followed up with doing the repair. 2nd company they sent out replaced 1 part but when the A/C still wasn't working right that company never returned back to fix the problem. 3rd company they sent out replaced this small part, then that small part before claiming the unit needed replaced. Out of pocket costs would have been nearly $800 where most of the hidden charges was for duct work. Central air unit was never fixed. #3 Gas Furnace needed repaired or replaced. Hidden cost would have been $670 and again the biggest hidden cost was for duct work which A.H.S.claim they cover duct work in their warranty plan which looks good on paper until you need the work done, then its a out of pocket cost. #4 Refrigerator needed repaired, sent a repairman to my home not once but twice and the problem still is not fixed. So I stand my ground that A.H.S. is only as good as the people they contract to do the repairs, so if you do take the risk of dealing with A.H.S. have your checkbook ready to pay for many hidden out of pocket costs. In closing, if you do try to call A.H.S. to talk to them about any issue expect to be placed on hold sometimes up to 45 minutes or talk to someone that barely can speak or understand the English language, and if they claim they will call you back, don't hold your breath because seldom will they ever return your call. WE as the consumers can do better and expect more than American Home Shield.

Quick to collect, poor with follow up and non-responsive to inquiries that needed "escalation". Asked for service fee to be waived on a dishwasher repair issue that was diagnosed at a previous visit, but not addressed and then required a second (they called it a "new" service request). Rep could not schedule service without collecting fee, promised a "decision" from management within 24-48 hours. Three months and several calls later it's still the same: "someone will call you within 24-48 hours". They won't call - it's a scam. They also have coverage caps and restrictions that make it nearly impossible for them not to recoup any service expenditures. And, if not cancelled within 30 days of renewing, you owe them the difference! Speaking of cancelling - they make it very difficult to cancel. Called main 800 number; after peppering me with questions about why I want to cancel, he discloses he can't cancel - it's a different department... and they are closed... . There's no way to cancel in writing on their website. A number listed to call for cancellation is "999-999-9999" - seriously! That's what it says on their website! Obviously that number doesn't exist because they want to make it as difficult as possible for you! My only reason for posting this is the hope anyone reading this doesn't fall into the same trap as I did!

The good part: good coverage for all my appliances at a reasonable price. The not-so-good part: I have had several experiences in which AHS refers me to a contractor who no longer has a contract with AHS, or who does not provide services in my area. In addition, some contractors do not call me to set up a service appointment, or who do not return my (repeated) calls to set up a appointment. Most contractors however are prompt and efficient.

Being waiting on installation of appliance for a while. I had to call multiple time to try to get someone to Install it. I held each time for 1 hour and 39 minutes just to be told to reach out to my service person. I have called the assigned service person 3 times a day and countless messages and have not been able to reach anyone yet. So know I have to call AHS and hold for 1.5 hours to let them know. Happen often. So frustrating. AHS does not contact you to see have you been serviced!!

Use them if you like to gamble, but I never will again. Called them 6 days ago to service s hot water heater. They took $75 for the service fee, A contractor came out and charged me an additional$200 because I tinkered with the wires them called himself fixed it. The next day, 12 hours later it died again. They called them back out as I waited for 2 days with no response to my pune messages and emails. Am agent refused to give me another contactor until I kept calling and got someone to help. A contactor came out the next day on a Friday and said he needed confirmation from AHS to do the work. I called the company all day that Monday and they said he never contacted them with a request for approval. 7 days after a service request, $275 later, and still no hot water! Would you continue your business with them?????

Warrantee limitations are not clear in contract. For example: If your ceiling fan spins but is so noisy that people cannot sleep in the house they will call that "normal wear" and will not fix or replace. Also, AC repair is limited -- you willl pay out hundreds out of pocket to replace refrfdgerant for your AC. Customer service is weak. Customer service will generally waste your time as they cannot usually make any complex discussions. expect long hold times. For anything complex, you will need to specially ask to contact someone in the ESCALATION DEPARTMENT. Online service request tool does not permit asking questions; live chat not always working or useful. Major appliance replacement takes weeks not days. Do not expect help with anything that would be a proactive repair...if your 20 year old AC lines are corroding and about to dump a bunch of old CFCs into the environment, this warrantee will not help until your system leaks/spills into the environment.

They don't have enough company's that they work with to have someone come to fix a problem in a timely manner. I have had a power outage since Sunday and it is now Thursday had to pay a hotel all these days besides losing all groceries. Someone came Wednesday left an today Thursday and turns out the whole half of the house has no power still and all the lights are flickering and very dim. I have paid over $1500 in service fees not counting any out of pocket expenses due to their lack of follow up and accountability. They take forever to send someone and if the company is booked with appointments you're basically stuck waiting for days because they don't have other options to meet customer demand. I never know any diagnostics on the items requested for service. Everytime that I request service each time I have to call back for a recall because the job is not completed or the problem fixed. This is so frustrating, expensive and inconvenient! Horrible service.

I have used my American Home Shield on two instances. AHS is pretty consistent, the reason for 4 stars is that some of the contractors are better than others. Get a good contractor and parts are on hand the service is a 5...... get a situation with a bad contractor and it averages out quick.... AHS does a good job overall

Sometimes quick and awesome, sometimes takes FIVE MONTHS to complete a dishwasher request. We survived, obviously, but having a non-functional dishwasher on top of having a brand new baby who needed bottles, and a toddler was extremely difficult. Add to that that no-one's installed it for us, it kind of negates all the good work that's been done aside from that.

Other companies do their best to try to not cover claims. American Home Shield not only covers the claims they promised to, but they go out of their way to make sure that items are fixed and the customer is happy.

It is so nice not to be surprised by a large repair bill when you have the unpleasant surprise of a system failure in your home. These unpleasant surprises always seem to come when the weather is at its worst.

Another very satisfying experience. We have used them on our central heat, ice maker, washer and our dryer. Each experience resulted in the problem resolved and the appliance repaired perfectly.

They were very prompt both times I had to call in one week. They were very nice and very professional. I was surprised at how fast they got everything done and set up for my a/c repair!

I'm fairly new member. Was impressed with Metropolitan's service. Believe my "problem" was solved by "Nas" who moved a duct so more a/c would come into one of my two bedrooms which has always remained hotter than other bedroom and living room.

I had this company from December 2017 until February 2020. They were very prompt with sending out techs to repair and took he clients best interest into consideration. During my time with them, I only had 1 major problem where they sent my repair check in another customers name and my statements to that customer.

2020 has been a tough year! AHS has made it better! My refrigerator went on the blink. Among other things! And AHS has been there to help make things right. I appreciate that!

My recent A/C service request was handled efficiently and professionally. The tech asked me about the problem and symptoms before starting and narrowed the work down to a replacement capacitor. Only a single visit was required and I'm back to having an operating A/C system.

Ive been a customer for over 10 years and have been satisfied with the service until this year. The wait time to speak to someone regarding existing orders is at least an hour, EVERYTIME you call. The representatives from the Phillipines etc are cordial but do not help me. They listen patiently, say they will check the problem and return my call. No return calls, so I'm back on the phone for an hour. HELP! I've been tryingo to get a DW fixed since the beginning of June. Sears came, ordered parts and I've been patiently waiting for the second part of arrive. It's now been over a month without my DW. They say the part is difficult to find. It's a 3 year old Maytag. I've gone on line and seen parts for that model available. What's going on? Please someone call me.

I gave American Home Shield five stars, because I have been satisfied with the contractors they partner with. Submitting a service request is quick and easy and they do not constantly raise their rates.

We've had AHS for 12 years and have been very pleased with the service. However, it does take a long time to get an obviously un-fixable appliance replaced. Understandably, a few tries from a few companies, but multiple calls to AHS and multiple companies with double digit tries is extreme. Once the decision was made for replacement and I was put in touch with the correct people, AHS was prompt and helpful. I'm currently trying to replace another un-fixable appliance and I am having trouble.

Right now, I am very set with America Hoome Shield. Since May 20th, the technician was out 5 different times to repair my wash machine that is still not working. he replaced 2 drive boards at 2 different times, machine is still not working, The last time out, he said he would call to do a cash out. I called AHS, several times, stayed on hold for each call, from 45mins, to 1 1/2 hours to speak with someone. ask to speak with a manager or supevisor, that never happened. Last call was today, After staying on hold for over an hour, spoke with a person that called the contracting company, and was told, someone will be out on Thursday to place anoother board. so now what if this one doesn't work. I pay AHS every month on time. I feel like I am getting the run around. I am 81years old, and having to go out in the Pandemic to wash in veryunsafe.

I had two (2) Plumming contractors scheduled from American Home Shield that destroyed my Kitchen towel floor not fixing dishwasher properly and my dining room ceiling due to plumbing not being properly addressed the first time which caused a ceiling breaking in , in my newer style home in which could cause cancellations to a regular home insurance caused by faulty contractors, extremely long waits and extremely long service calls

Frustrating that the first serviceman you sent out gave sorry diagnosis and we had to request a second company. You did cover it as you should have from the first. It’s very hard to get thru when calling so went several weeks without pool heater.
