Whenever my things break, I raise a request online. They send technician in reasonable time; would either fix or replace. No question asked, no matter how old your appliances are!!

Have used the repair services for dishwasher repairs and to replace a 75 gallon hot water heater and for furnace repairs. AHS warranty has paid for itself many times over and service is always reliable and efficient.

I have had to call 3 times now and have been pleased with service. Home repair was my biggest concern about being a homeowner and this service has given me the security to not have to worry when something breaks down.

Patricia Arnett Boynton Beach, FL

I give 2 stars only because the last encounter was was positive however the previous issue has never been resolved and I don't see a resolution in sight. My pool filter is a covered item but the technician just put epoxy on an obvious crack twice instead of replacing it. Naturally the filter cracked completely and drained my entire pool damaging my new landscaping. I called AHS immediately and they still haven't gotten back to me or sent the technician out. I got it repaired and have called several times for resolution without success. When someone (after an hour each time) answers, they are located in the Philippines and give me false information. The first one gave me a bogus number to call which was a scam number trying to sell promo items. The next person wouldn't give me any way to speak with anyone in authority but said that he would send an email to a “higher authority “. Naturally I haven't heard anything back. I would give a one star and call the concept a scam except for the fact that I had an issue with my garbage disposal and the technician came quickly and replaced it and it was a great experience. So I am very confused as to how they can be so bad and good at the same time.

1. On hold for obscene amount of time i.e 3 hours, not once, but three different times. This is with an open claim. Interestingly enough, I spend no time on hold when ordering a new policy. We have several rentals & our own home with them over the years. We have been cancelling each property's coverage. 2. Sub-standard contractors are used about 70% of the time in our experience. 3. Trying to get a replacement appliance felt like we had to become our own lawyer, just to get a comparable replacement (basic warrant). To say the least of the amount of time waiting for approvals & waiting on the phone (20+ hours).

D Williams Wake Forest, NC

We have a warranty primarily for major issues like HVAC and appliances. However, when we needed Freon, we had to pay an additional out-of-pocket expense. My father also has AHS and his heat pump needed replacing, but the warranty only covered 20% of replacement cost. For major repairs,there are too many out-of-pocket expenses on top of your $80 service charge

I need to speak with a live person at AHS and cannot seem to do this. The service request company assigned to our request is AMTEC SERVICES, INC> As of yet they havenot contacted me to schedule a discussion or visit, and I have called 770-248-0010 at least 15 times and have been put on hold for long periods of time with loud music in my ears. I would like to discuss a problem with AHS but cannot speak to a live person.

The first time I used my contract was when my refrigerator failed. This was almost three years ago but I believe it took them between two and three weeks to get the issue resolved but they replaced the unit with a new one. The extended time frame was my only issue, otherwise they did a great job!

Marion DeWitt Mullins Boaz, AL

AHS refused our claim on plumbing citing the notes from their plumber and his estimate of $13700 to perform the job. We canceled out contract with them and contacted a local plumbing company with excellent reviews. Their estimate to do the exact same thing was $3950, nearly a $10000 difference. We were mildly upset with a previous electrical claim that took way too long to complete.

It appears some of the companies AHS contract with aren't that great. Meaning, if you check reviews such as Yelp or Google; the companies appear not to be on top of their game. Definitely, hit or miss with some of the contracted companies.

Problem resolution is usually good, but it takes a long time. They hook you up with a vendor right away, but there still might be a week of waiting for them to get you in, or they will come and diagnose then need a part and it's another week.

Easy to schedule service. Tried to change a contractor and that was a nightmare. The person on the phone couldn't understand what I was asking. All I wanted was a different company to come out than the one assigned. It was an awful experience.

They get contractors for your problem out BUT I dont think they do well with following up with that contractor regarding the degree of satisfaction between the homeowner and the contractor. I also think some of the wording in the fine print of the ahs agreement needs to be worded differently, it's misleading. I've lived in my house 12yrs I've had AHS coverage since day 1. I've paid every month and also paid the service calls, but yet I still have the same problems. I chose to have coverage because the way I understood it was that if ahs had to be contacted 3-5 times over the same issue, that issue would be resolved by 1 a cash out settlement for me to replace the issue or #2 for ahs to remedy the issue by providing a new system. 12 yrs of service calls and ahs annual premiums I myself could have used that money and bought myself a brand new system. I'll be discontinuing my contract with ahs after my latest problem is resolved on the same system.

So far, so good, although I have only been in my new home a month. Long hold times on the phone, but you can schedule online. Unfortunately, my gas fireplace wasn't covered - it isn't working and so that is a big disappointment. They are generally friendly on the phone. Response times from the professionals they hire are very good, and the issues have been resolved quickly. I am glad I purchased the warranty!

Everyone has been very helpful and super nice when we have had a claim. The only reason they are not 5 stars is due to the wait time on the phone. I understand that they are busy but so are we. Six hours waiting on the phone in one day is way too much. Maybe a call back system would be better.

Customer service is very good, contractors are professional, they don't cover all expenses like is represented in their ad but they do cut the total cost of repair down, the coverage is pricey. We have used our warranty twice and we are ahead of the annual cost compared to cost of repairs

For 25 years, AHS has given me a feeling of security knowing that with a phone call or online contact a technician, approved by the company, will come to my home and solve the current problem. This is an excellent option for homeowners that are NOT 'fix it' people.

VERA SCHOLL

Replacing my broken kitchen sink faucet was an ordeal and did not cover the required removal of the broken faucet from the marble kitchen sink surface. I believe that is a humongous short-coming of your alleged complete service. It cost me an addition $160 and your alleged "great coverage" for this particular job was horribly disappointing. How can you claim to replace a broken kitchen faucet when your repair person is NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE THE FAUCET as part of the job? HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR COVERAGE FOR THIS JOB!
