It's not about the money; it's about the peace of mind American Home Shield provides. I feel so secure knowing that if something happens unexpectedly I don't have to worry.

Only neg is long time on hold somteimes, but service peole are very friendly. Repair guy good. Took a long time to get someone out but I assume that is due to labor shortage and not fault of AHS.

The technician was pleasant and professional and cleaned up the area where he was working. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that when I get ice, some water will drip down before the ice v comes out.

They have friendly and professional staff but some of the coverage it junk, they only pay the first $10. Of the cost of Freon for AC which is ridiculous because they don't let the technicians find the leak

April Gardiner Galveston, TX

I had AHS for years on multiple homes. Used to love them but then they switched their customer service to out of the country and most do not understand English or AHS policies. Have to keep calling back until I get a rep that may understand. We got screwed with no warm water for a year due to this. It should not take 15 phone calls to get someone to understand. Also their quality of contractors has got really bad. I will NOT be renewing this year.

They need to allow to place notes or other critical information when placing a work order. The WO should be assigned to just one representative so if you have an issue you work with that one representative. Much like an insurance agent does.

I called them and told them that my sump pump was not working. A few days later it began to rain. My entire furnished basement flooded. After 3 more weeks, I had to buy a sump pump and get someone else to replace it. The plumber didn't show up. They sent one for a SECOND opinion AFTER I had paid to have it repaired.

The first time I used American Home Shield, the vendor never showed or called. I was quite upset because I had taken off work to be home. Eventually another vendor came to fix the issue. I was told I would get a refund of half the service fee, but still have not received it.

Very difficult to get resolve when the plumber did not show up 3 times. The customer service center was very polite, but resovle was not great until a manager spoke to me. My issues were addressed and all went well. I will more than likely look for a warranty company the has customer service in the US

For a fee they can arrange to have a service provider come to the customer's facility and repair an item. However, the service providers are very small companies who lack customer service skills, do not have inventory and when supplies/parts are needed, it takes them a great deal of time to receive and ultimate install them.

Sam Hill Bixby, OK

Horrible customer service and weeks for repair people to respond. Had to call over 5 times to customer service to get a response from Omni Appliance Repair. Called on the 20th of May, called back on May 25th and still washed is not repaired and there has been no follow up. I cancelled my service and that was the only time I spoke with someone I could understand. The repair person was extremely unprofessional and would not return calls or as I stated never fixed our washer. I cancelled American Home Shield and so did 2 family members. Pathetic service, follow up and and they don't do what they promise.

Denise Kewaskum, WI

The contractor, Caldera, was beyond incompetent when it came to EVERYTHING. First, they wanted to give us a window of 5 hours - between 1 and 6 for the repair. Then told us that our burners needed to be replaced. After over a week, they sent another guy out who was supposed to be there at 5. At 7:40, I rcvd a text saying that he will be there shortly. This technician came WITHOUT THE BURNERS! And lied and said that they needed to be cleaned. Anyone know that you do not clean burners unless you are maintaining a furnace. My husband and I can clean the burners - so why would we pay for a technician to come out and do that?!

I had to call 6 times to resolve an issue. Every time, I was told it was taken care of; but it wasn't. We were with AHS 9 1/2 years at our previous house, & only once had a problem with them. I didn't even shop around before giving them the home warranty on our new house, because they gave such good service before. Now, I feel that I cannot trust them to do what they say they will do.

Sometimes good, sometimes bad. I think the smart thing is to put aside $75/mo and pay for things as they come up. I keep meaning to do that. Too many AHS contractors put AHS customers as too low of a priority. And if the repair is too expensive, it seems like AHS always figures out a technicality to say it's not covered. The more I right this review, the more I realize what a ripoff AHS is

My experience is that I had the same problem with my appliance. It took three time before I could get a new one. So each time I had to pay 100 dollars before I good get a new one. The service that came out wrote down something different the one time but all three was what needed to get fix. So I was out of three hundred dollars. This should have been fix when it broke on the second time. Not to happy with AHS

I've had several work order requests while I have to wait extended period of time. My AC unit was out for six months. I called countless of times and was told the part was on order call back the next week the part hasn't been ordered. As a breakdown between customer service and the individuals ordering your service parts. There's a breakdown between your Scheduler part in the person assigned to do the work/job. As a result of my inop AC it starting leaking. The water from the AC unit has damaged my feelings in the bathroom hallway and my stairwell.

I was satisfied in the beginning but the job has not been completed and it has been almost three weeks. My commode is still not usable, they tore a wall out and hasn't been fixed I have call and left message no answer. I think if you tear something you should fix it back. If it isn't fixed this coming week, I will drop them.

I have been waiting over two months to be reimbursed the 100 dollars for a cancelled service call by Home Shield. Every time I call they say they resubmitted it for credit that the last person never processed it. Still haven't seen my money. Very disappointing and bad customer service. When will I get my reimbursement?

Call center is always Indian speaking and you get a complete runaround and zero answers without having to call NUMEROUS times and stay on hold for hours. Never seem to be able to find a service provider in the area and when they do assign one the provider doesn't contact you and then you go back to square one.

Two days later I notice the dishwasher in flooded and leaking out onto my hardwood floor. There is now water damage in the floor that must be taken care of . Everything else prior has been good.

Shortly after the roofer fixed my roof leak, the leak became worse. I couldn't put a 2nd request in. I had to call the secondary company for a follow up. I also text the original person who fixed my roof.he came back out but don't think the company ever notified him. He only came bc I text him personally .

Sarah Fink Springfield, IL

We have been without a functional refrigerator for 3.5 weeks. It took one week after filing a claim for the service tech to come out & inspect. It took another week to get parts & reschedule repair. The repair did NOT work; the fridge is still hot. We are 9 days out from the attempted repair, with no indication of when the repairman will be out again. We have small kids and have only had access to a dorm-size fridge through all of this, so in addition to the money wasted on groceries that spoiled, I am also wasting money buying most of our meals from restaurants. I've called three times to ask for updates/a new fridge/a loaner fridge until ours can be repaired anything that would help remedy this situation .I've gotten nowhere. No one is in a hurry to help us. The woman I spoke with yesterday had such a strong accent she was difficult to understand, and she spoke over me so many times that I had to ask her to please stop interrupting me. I used to recommend your company, but after this experience, I will not be doing so.

My husband made 7 calls to AHS to attempt to find out the status on a proposed plan to repair our double ovens. Each call was unfortunately answered by someone with a strong foreign accent that was extremely difficult to understand. Each company representative was unable/unwilling to put us through to a supervisor to determine what the problem was. This issue persisted for almost 6 weeks. The local company that was dispatched to finally complete the repair was wonderful. However, the poor service and lack of effective communication from AHS is making us consider doing business with another home warranty company.

Customer service reps are the worst, EVER! They can't solve a problem without putting me on hold for 10 minutes just to come back and quote me a policy guideline that I'm already aware of. It seems none of them either put notes on my account OR take the time to read what's happened previously so I don't have to repeat myself over and over again. Apparently, there are only two HVAC vendors in my area, one of which doesn't service my area (???) and the other's service is worse I've experienced in the last 20 years! I'd rather pay out of pocket for any expense related to my home than continue to pay AHS for all-around substandard service!!!

My refrigerator has been out for 2 weeks; the 1st technician AHS sent out diagnosed the problem but couldn't perform the repair because it was under warranty; took 2 more days to assign it to a different company who couldn't come out for 5 more days (including weekend). He said the 1st technician didn't properly diagnose the problem and he had to order the parts for repair. Parts would be delivered 3 days later (on a Sunday). Have to wait for the parts to be checked in (complete and correct) before company will even schedule the repair!

We LOVE the insurance and the process. We just don't always love the repair teams and the lack of speed. We can wait days for resolve. We also often feel they lack access to appropriate parts and that the repair is not always that great. Talking to a human at your end is painful and frequently not helpful.

Often difficult to get feedback on the status of your repair once the initial visit takes place. Service technicians can be hit or miss. We've had great ones but also a few who misdiagnosed the problem, making the repair process take even longer. Phone representatives are clearly stationed over seas and are limited to reading a script
