Julia Oussova Washington, DC

They have comprehensive coverage plans but most include additional items that you don’t have or need, so you end up paying extra without being able to customize. Trying to get a hold of a customer service rep to actually modify your contract is impossible, they just keep bouncing you between departments. Rates increase every year. Service call fee went from $50 to $100 and annual contract price (paid monthly) has been steadily increasing each year.

Christopher Dallas, TX

American Home Shield offers home warranty plans with generously high limits on repairs and replacements plus other benefits, which are reflected in its slightly higher monthly premiums. But with flexible trade fee prices, customers are handed more control over how much they ultimately pay per month.

Quick fix for something that was apparently the root of issues I’ve had for awhile. The only negative comment is the tech is obviously a smoker 😔

There was a quick response to the A/C problem, ❤ it The company that was assigned was professional and timely. They were going to investigate a quote for new unit going thru ahs- never heard anything. We asked ahs also, have heard nothing. We sent in info asking for a quote on AHS a/c replacement program- never heard back.

ANDY STEIN Wake Forest, NC

Various issues 1) pay for service call before call is even scheduled 2) Unable to communicate with service technician until he arrives on site 3) Had a service call, paid the service fee. Company came and said he had order new part and we had to wait for part to come out in. Tech comes out 1-2 weeks later and decides part does not need new part and leaves. Week goes by and appliance leaks. Several days later technician comes back and installed new part that he made is wait on but refused to install after he made us wait for it to be shipped

Mary Rice Las Vegas, NV

So far, American Home Shield has been terrible with communication. They have sent technicians to our house 3 times and that goes well, but then the follow up is non-existent. The first was just to change the locks and that went fine. The second was for a problem with our hot water and plumbing, which required $1200 in repairs. After the plumber came out and diagnosed the problem, the AHS website just said "job completed." The only way to talk to AHS is through chat and I got several different answers. It boiled down to them deciding it was a "pre-existing" problem (which we didn't know about) and therefore they wouldn't cover it, but we had to fix it anyway because we had pipes that weren't up to code, some leaking, and a problem with hot water. The third instance was a microwave that doesn't work. Again, they sent a technician right away, he diagnosed the problem and said he would order a part, and AHS listed the job as completed. After chatting with AHS, they sent him back again, and made us take out the built-in microwave ourselves (we are not young), and when he came, he said that AHS had ordered the wrong part and he couldn't fix it until he gets the right part. We still aren't sure if they are going to cover it. I would like more transparency. What is the estimate to repair/replace? Is it covered or not? That should be available right away on the website, not just "service complete". If it's not covered, then we need to know why and how much we will have to pay to fix it ourselves. I would also like a phone number to call and talk directly to a representative. The people I have chatted with are not clear in their written communication and it takes so much more time to go back and forth in writing to understand each other.

They seem to try to get someone out as soon as possible, but I do not feel as if they are actually interested in fixing the problem, rather than bandaiding it. Now the price is going up 20% after a year and limits are being set or lowered for repairs.

Jonthan Las Vegas, NV

AHS Denied replacing my pool heater stating that it was user issue yet every year for the past few years I have called AHS for service to the heater, replaced multiple parts and it's still considered my fault. What else can I do other than call AHS???? The fact that there is a history of repairs but it's still considered my fault is appalling. Why am I paying all this money, scheduling repairs and relying on experienced service technicians provided by AHS if I'm still going to be held accountable for things beyond my control? The heater is around 13-14 years old and was existing when I purchased the home 7 years ago but I have maintained it through AHS and they still refused to pay for my replacement. I feel this is unacceptable and I'm reconsidering if I want to continue with this company.

J Orr Washington, DC

I have had nothing but trouble with AHS. I am a Real Estate agent with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services and recommend AHS and provide one-year warranties to clients. I also have AHS for my home and can discuss the warranty with my clients. I continuously have problems with customer service and the company’s they contract out. AHS is unreliable and non-responsive to customer's needs. My company is looking into other Home Warranty programs. AHS sent me an advertisement to have my AC checked for the summer. The company (ATR of Richmond, VA) never called me, is an hour away from my house, and use phone numbers with no called ID (which I do not answer). Then when AHS called the contractor about a month form the initial scheduled call, they wanted me to take an entire day off from work and wait for them to come (1000 AM – 400 PM) and they did not show; said they were overwhelmed and wanted me to reschedule and take another day off from work. AHS stated the advertisement they sent out to have your AC checked was only with this company and now expired. I have never received service, AHS refuses to reschedule, and I have not received a refund on my payment. I filed a complaint with the AHS Regional Mannaer and sumbitted a complaint to Howard Hanna Real Estate Services

I’m still waiting for the part. The appliance guy was here and confirmed what I told him but did not bring the part it needed. So until it’s actually fixed I can’t give a good review. Also since i pay a large monthly fee I think the service charge is way too high when I need help.

Kasey P Callahan, FL

I am so disappointed with American home shield. I always assumed they were a great company, now that I am a homeowner and using them I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I would never recommend to my friends or family. I won’t write out my entire experience, but just know I have called 5 times for a water heater service. Each time there is a new issue and the dispatch mysteriously gets canceled. I’ve been assured the issue is taken care of by 5 representatives and I still do not have my water heater service even scheduled. No hot water and a 4 month baby at home, truly disgusted with this company. Be prepared for complete frustration and being constantly falsely reassured that things are taken care of.

Mr. Rooters Plumbing in Abilene, TX is absolutely horrible. We've had probably 6-8 service calls to them within the last 2 years and every time we pay for things to NOT get fixed. By this time, we should have just gone outside of our AHS account and used another provider. When we've used AHS for HVAC it's been a positive experience. We implore AHS to find a different plumber partnership in Abilene.

Michael Ventrella Chicago, IL

Very disgusted with American Home Shield! My stove went out and after a week they sent out SEARS home repair out who are absolutely HORRIBLE. The first SEARS tech couldn't fix the stove to his best knowledge so AHS sent out a different SEARS tech. The stove repair estimated over $600 and the parts will take a month to order. I've been/will be without a stove for 6 weeks. I can't cook for my family or provide for them. I called AHS to ask if I can just get a quick replacement and they were uncooperative and disinterested in me and my family's needs. AHS customer service rep was rude and kept talking over me on the call.

Most vendors are excellent. But when there is a vendor that does not do as expected, the customer is required to wait for the vendor to repeatedly mess up before the American Home Shield fixes the problem. That is very disappointing. This is the purpose of the contracted services from the beginning (intent of avoiding this type of runaround).

This is not just a bad home warranty company but possibly the worst company I have ever done business with. At this point I have spent well over 10 hours on the phone and 2 hours in a chat with customer service representatives who have clearly been trained to avoid helping the customer at all costs. We have been lied to, stolen from, had issues and equipment not just left unresolved but actually broken. As I type this email I’ve been on hold with the 7th customer service representative I’ve tried to calmly and respectfully speak with about my issue and for the 7th time they magically have no record of my other calls. After I leave this review I will be contacting the better business bureau and an attorney. Do not, for any reason, do business with this company. It is a scam!

Poor customer service can be a frustrating and disheartening experience for consumers. It is characterized by unhelpful, indifferent, or rude interactions with customer service representatives who fail to address customers' concerns or provide satisfactory solutions. Whether it's long wait times, unresponsiveness, or a lack of empathy, poor customer service undermines the trust and loyalty customers have in a company. It can leave them feeling undervalued, unheard, and compelled to seek alternatives. In an age where customer satisfaction is paramount, businesses must prioritize delivering exceptional service to build strong relationships, foster loyalty, and ultimately thrive in a competitive market.

American Home Shield and the companies they use (specifically Affordable Appliance) provide horrible customer service. The follow-up is awful. They rarely call you back when they say they will, the hold times are incredibly long when you call them, and most of the time, the people who answer the phone barely speak English and are not knowledgeable or helpful. I am currently in the process of getting a new part for my washing machine. I have been waiting for 2 weeks with no updates or follow-up from American Home Shield or Affordable Appliance. This is the norm every time I file a claim, and I am currently reviewing my contract and getting bids from other companies.

David and Sue Pointer St Louis, MO

American Home Shield, had us paying a premium for years as a set aside for the day when our 30+ year old system, would need replacement. When the day came, they decided they would just patch it and leave us stuck with the majority of the repair bill along with the astronomical cost of replacing the refrigerant, that is now inordinately expensive because it is three iterations removed from the current Freon readily available for new systems. Their “Promise“ to upgrade the system when the time came was the primary reason we continued our home shield policy. In my opinion, they sought a work around so that they would not have to fulfill on their “promise” of replacement. For that reason, I will not be renewing my coverage with American Home Shield. Caveat emptor for all those thinking about buying into the illusory promise of protection that this company is peddling.

Was not happy with the washing machine service. He came and did nothing . Said it was a kinked hose. And then said the pump needed to be replaced. Did not check it or check the drain trap. Told me to order it because it should be under warranty from Maytag because our machine was only six months old. And never followed up or called back. I called Maytag. They came out and there was actually something clogged between the hose and the drain. It was a coin we waited three weeks to get this fixed because the original repair man didn’t check it, very unhappy. I still paid the $125 to get it repaired from you guys.

The service on our refrigerator was fast and efficient. The technician knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it to perfection. No issues since.

Ladonya Norwalk, CA

What I Didn’t like is when I signed up with the sales representative he told me if I had multiple things that break down I would only have to pay the $125 service fee when he didn’t tell me is that if something happens to my plumbing and if something happens to my refrigerator, I would have to pay two different service fees. He did not tell me that. And I’ve found out the day I had to call for service. The lady told me I had to pay two different service fees. The plumber was something different and the wash machine was something totally different and I did not like that.
