It is easy to make a claim on line, but scheduling with the contractor lacks a sense of urgency. However, it could be that many service calls are delayed even with direct contact without the home warranty

Royson Fernandes Concord, NC

I have had very good experiences with AHS until now. My dishwasher stopped working on Sep-8. AHS got me a technician right away who recommended that it be replaced. I received an email from AHS appliance replacement on 9/15 with a link to replacement models that I could pick. I selected a whirlpool model that I liked and I placed the order. I did not hear anything back for a week. I called AHS appliance delivery customer service and they checked and told me that the appliance would be delivered on 9/23 between 10am & 2pm EST by a company called JB Hunt. No one showed up on 9/23, so I called JB Hunt; they told me that the order had been cancelled by Whirlpool. So, I called AHS appliance delivery customer service again and they told me that the order was cancelled by whirlpool because it had incorrect services associated with it. The rep told me that he had placed a new order with the correct services and gave me a new date of 9/30. On 9/27, I called JB hunt to confirm the delivery date and they had no record of the order at all. So, I called AHS appliance delivery customer service again, this time I was told that the appliance model was not available yet and the delivery would be scheduled when it would be available and gave me an estimated date of 10/06. On 10/02, I received an email from Whirlpool saying that the appliance order could not be completed and to contact customer service. So I called Whirlpool customer service on 10/04, and told me that they could NOT process a delivery for installation by a company that is not a registered plumber in North Carolina. I called AHS appliance delivery customer service again on 10/05 and they checked with whirlpool and told me that the appliance will become available on 10/07 and whirlpool will contact me to schedule a delivery by Oct 13. I’m very frustrated by the delays here and the need for me to repeatedly call AHS appliance delivery customer service for updates. They blame the appliance model unavailability for the delay, but they did NOT tell me about that until I called twice.

My first experience was wonderful and quick. However, my second experience was a nightmare. It took three weeks before I had a working washing machine. There was a lack of communication between AHS and the two different service providers and I was caught in the crossfire. I pray that I never have to go through anything like that again!

So far not so great. Someone was suppose to order a part for my broken fridge and after waiting the 10 days it turned out nobody ordered it. So I have to wait additional 10 days. Plus a few additional days of waiting in between for communication between you and the contractor’s company. So far I’ve been without a fridge for more than 3 weeks. Horrible communication and very long hold/wait time.

My refrigerator broke on 9/17/21 and the part will not be here until 10/6/21. And the technician said it may or may not work. So my family of 4 has to eat out every day for each meal. There is no one to talk to, everyone is out the country i.e supervisors. This is a nightmare. I have ask for the cash option to buy a new refrigerator. I was told I would purchase a mini fridge up to $150.00 and upload the receipt for reimbursement. First there is no refrigerator with freezer that is under $150.00 and second why would I trust that I would get reimbursed in a timely manner. AHS should of anything for the delay send me a gift card or check value enough to buy a refrigerator. And someone should be telling me since it taking so long they would reimburse me for the $100.00, I paid for the technician. My experience has been horrible to the 10th degree and very disappointing with the company.

I have been a customer for many years. In the past response and service was superb and not only woukd I recommend AHS I personally referred people to them. In the past year AHS has dramatically changed, for the worst. When you call to file a claim you will get an agent outside the US (South America or the Philippines) who is working out of their home and is often difficult to understand. When you ask to be transferred to someone higher up you can’t but you are told your case will be escalated and you will received a call in 24-48hrs. Your call in NEVER returned (personal experience form 6 or more attempts ive made personally). You literally get worn out and give up (saving AHS from paying out anything). Numbers like customer service do exist if you can find it (seems it’s a secrete which no one will divulge). If and when you can find customer service they are also outside the USA and give you the same line that they will escalate your problem and you will receive a call back in 24-48 hrs. It NEVER HAPPENS. In short f you have a contract, and a problem which you file a claim for there is a 50/50 chance that it will be addressed. In general if you are fortunate to have your claim addressed the techs that are sent out are generally excellent though I have detected that sometimes it feels like they are discouraged from helping if your problem is more than a quick fix. Adding to the problem since you can’t find a customer complaint number to call the only other number you CAN FIND is sales which is handled by an extremely arrogant and rude individual whose sole purpose is to switch you from your existing policy to one of there needs policies which offer nothing particularly more compared to what you were paying less for with your old policy. The exception is the premium policy which of course costs more and promises more if you are fortunate to get service from AHS to start with. It feels like there is now new ownership who is not concerned about customer service but instead their profit and whatever is required to keep their bottom line more profitable. Corporate greed is immediately felt with every phone call made to them and the response they give you. I loved AHS and felt it was a godsend to owners of older homes. Now it’s become a fight every time you call with a request for service. I honestly do not expect this company with their current practices in place to remain in business much longer. My recommendation would be to prospective clients to speak with other people who are using AHS or have used AHS. Compare it to what others say about AHS’s competitors

I have called 5 times in the last 2 weeks. And now I’m being told that even though the installer cracked my stovetop upon installation American Home Shield will not replace it. I have asked to make a complaint twice and have never been called back or received an email. **UPDATE** Per the Escalation Dept and the Social Media Dept at American Home Shield. I am being told that American home Shield Warranty does not stand behind the sub-contractors they hire. Meaning if they do not install or fix something to your satisfaction that is just too bad. I was told to go to my home insurance company for compensation, because of a problem they created. This is totally amazing to me and I would tell everyone to steer clear of this company.

First experience to rekey my house went smoothly. The second time, my dishwasher broke. I handled it over the phone, they charged me $100 and setup me up with a service company. The service company did not get a hold of me and everytime I called them it went straight to an automated message stating that the voicemail is not setup. I called customer service again they said that I have to cancel my service request. They'll refund me and I have to put another request in to charge companies. When I agreed the customer service agent said he can't do it because of his computer or something and gave me a number to call - it was the same customer service line. I called a second time. The person said they'll refund my money and I agreed to request the service online. When I went online to my account it wouldn't let me request service. I then called again and they said I have a 30day period where I cannot make a request. Meaning even though I signed up on my day of closing I get only 1 free request the first 30days and that I already used up my service request! I was quite upset and said that I want a copy of my contract because the link on my account does not work. They said they'll send one. They didn't. So, I haven't received my refund nor have I received a copy of my contract. Not to mention, when I call into the service center often times the accents are so thick its hard for me to understand them. Additionally, the customer service reps seem undertrained, not knowledgable, and incompetent.

AHS does not repair items and find loopholes in the contract that you did not receive to repair/replace the items. ASH milks you for surcharges to come to your home and the contractor does not look at all the requested items. Then you have to call AHS to submit a repair request foe yhe same item that was originally requested. AHS sends a renewal contract that was paid in full and hounded the homeowner for additional fees for 6 months before remediating the issues. There no Supervisor to speak with when needed. AHS employes agents who are unable to be understood because of their language accent. AHS takes up to 7 days to make a decision about repairs and then deny them. AHS does compensate the homeowner for their delays which result in a financial hardship

Poor communication and false expectations from the agents. After filing a better business bureau complain, I realized the agent reviewing it didn‚Äôt put enough effort to better the situation. Instead, decided to go by what she has than to hear me out when I requested a call. My complain was very vague because it was too much information to write. She got confused with my request and think my complain is about a washer repair visit and it is not. This is also shown on a review posted on google, AHS responded with their so called resolution which had nothing to do with my main concern.

Worst customer service I‚Äôve ever encountered with any product or service I‚Äôve ever purchased or owned. Cannot speak to anyone who isn‚Äôt an offshore rep who had no idea how to address specific issues. They read from an obvious script and lack the ability to deviate from it. I‚Äôve been repeatedly billed service call fees for the same issue that wasn‚Äôt resolved, been forced to work with incompetent contractors, including one from my blocked list (comprised one only 1 company). In that case I was told I had to call in every request for service to have any contractor assigned because AHS and their system is incapable of incorporating this blocked information. I was promised return calls within 24-48 hours, on 3 occasions in 2 weeks. I never received a return call. Rep refused to escalate my issue, claimed there was no supervisor that existed, despite prior rep saying there was an escalations team handling my issue just the day prior. Customer service doesn‚Äôt understand the subject matter of any issue. After explaining I would not continue to work with the assigned, blocked contractor who took 5 days to come to my home for a broken hot water heater, then failed to touch or diagnose it and left, closing the ticket, insisted they had to consult the same deficient contractor who I had already allowed to return and still did zero work. I said I won‚Äôt work with them and wanted a different contractor assigned so there was no need to involve the contractor who never did any work. I was told to pay a new $75 fee or I was stuck with the blocked contractor who refused to fix my hot water heater. I‚Äôd been without hot water for 8 days at that point. The rep called the contractor anyway, refused to assign a new contractor and said I had to allow the incompetent company to keep returning at their convenience regardless if they never did any work, because that‚Äôs who AHS assigned. Refused, adamantly, to allow me to elevate the issue stating no one supervised them and that I had no recourse. Beyond obnoxious behavior and the had the audacity to demand 5 star feedback! It‚Äôs bad enough my rate was increased a full 25%(!) with no notice whatsoever, I‚Äôm not getting nothing for my monthly fee of $103. Once I finish my open claim I‚Äôm cancelling because it‚Äôs far cheaper to just pay for these minor repairs. It‚Äôs certainly less stressful.

We put in a claim AHS for our microwave that stopped working. We were told that it could not be fixed. We were sent an email to give us a choice of replacements for the microwave. I made a choice and sent the email back. We were told that Stephens Appliances was responsible for the new microwave. My husband has been trying for days to reach Stephens. He heard from the owner today. He said he had a heart attack and was still in the hospital, but that AHS was responsible for the new microwave. My husband talked with an AHS representative who told him that you had not received my email. My husband was assured that I would receive another email with the choices so we could decide on a new microwave. We are now over two weeks with this claim. I DID NOT RECEIVE THE PROMISED EMAIL TODAY, BUT I DID RECEIVE THIS REVIEW. I am not impressed to say the least. I expect service tomorrow and I want you to know that we do not see the merit of a home warranty with you. If we don't get service soon, I will drop an email to the Better Business Bureau and tell them how this claim has been handled.

It was O.K. I still don‚Äôt know how to change the temperature setting in the freezer. The technician said he went into administrative changes which he has access to as a technician and made a temperature change.

Customer service is bad. Most people do not speak English clear enough and don‚Äôt really try to help you . I asked to speak with management they denied me flat out. They had trouble understanding me and what I wanted. I had some appliance fixed and that went well. The tech and company they sent were great. It‚Äôs the scheduling issues. They are in the Philippines and they have a huge language barrier. A big company like AMERICAN Home shields should have better customer service. I still want to speak with a manger and would appreciate a call from one soon ! I‚Äôm glad you sent out this survey a big company like you needs to know what going on. I also have an issue with false advertising on an email you sent out. Please have some reach out to me. Your service could be so much better if someone from management knew the issues .

They are inconsistent. Sometimes their contractors are very good...other times, they send out a low budget group that is not what one would expect. Further, it is the hidden/small print items that are not covered that kill you. Recently, I had an issue with my dishwasher. It started on December 11, 2021. It was a full month before they even were able assign somebody to come out and look at the dishwasher. Once they did, their subcontractor, over the course of 2 visits and 2 more weeks (they had to order a part) ultimately determined the dishwasher needed replacement...and he also did something to cause a leak that went all over my hardwood floors and cause some of the boards to warp...to which AHS has completely washed their hands of any liability for this. Not happy!!! Regarding replacing the dishwasher, we initially were given a list of replacement dishwashers, none of which met the specs of the high-end dishwasher we were replacing. So we decided to take the cash reimbursement which amounted to about 1/3 of the initial cost. Because we had personal obligations, too much time went by and that list "expired"...which was news to me. So I had to call AHS again to get the list reativated. The person that helped me looked at the reimbursement amount and stated that she felt the amount was way too low for a Miele dishwasher. Come to find out, the initial reimbursement cost was not based on a high-end dishwasher - rather something less. For example, AHS did not take into account our Miele had a stainless steel interior but rather priced it at a plastic interior. Long story short, the woman was able to increase our reimbursement by about $300 as well as give us some additional options to purchase. While I truly appreciated the help this agent gave us and the subsequent re-valuation, the fact of the matter is, had I not called, AHS would have short-changed me without me knowing!!! Again, not happy!!! So, here it is now nearly 3 months later and we are finally getting our dishwasher replaced with a somewhat comparable unit. Granted, the last month of this process was caused by our own delays, but from December 11, 2021 through early February, 2022, the delays were all on AHS and their inefficiencies. Between the numerous phone calls I had to make to AHS (at least 15 calls...and they NEVER initiated a call to me...even though I was promised more than once that they would call me back with an update), I probably spent upward of 10 hours just on the phone with their agents. Their follow-through stunk! The entire process was a cluster of errors. And the fact that I now have ruined floors that I will have to pay to get refinished because my AHS contract does not cover this "secondary damage" - even though their subcontractor caused it! - is just added frustration to the entire body of effort...or lack thereof! I will add that I even voiced my complaint to their CEO - only to be put in contact with his underling (probably and executive assistant) who was occasionally helpful, but in the end always reverted to what was in the contract, regardless of any possible extenuating circumstances. Needless to say, not a good experience and I would be very hesitant to recommend AHS to anyone!!! As of this writing, I still use them because there a few other things I need addressed...but once taken care of, I will look elsewhere for a home warranty!!!

Worse customer service experience. They lied, couldn't answer questions, would not allow us to talk to supervisor, and were never helpful. I had to wait and call for over three weeks to get a company assigned to us. The first person they assigned it to, hadn't worked for them in two years. It took them two weeks to get the person we requested (and initially diagnosed the problem) to be reassigned. The day he was supposed to come out, they said that it was no longer approved. It had been approved for three weeks. Then the day of the repair they no longer cover it. Worse company I have ever dealt with.

They are only as good as their local contractors. I had a sub-standard experience with the first contractor and had to request additional service. The second company dispatched was MUCH better.
