I made a service call on June 11 and they still have not fixed my attic fan. I can only speak to someone in the Philippines, no one in the United States. The electrician blames American home shield and says the part hasn't been approved in American home shield blames the electrician that they haven't filled out the paperwork right. The right thing to do would be for American home shield to reassign my case to someone else but they just like to let things sit. This is not the first experience I've had with American home shield. We are moving at the end of this month and I will not renew with American home shield. I will go with a company that has people that I can talk to in the United States. I have been a customer for seven years and they will lose that long term, faithful customer because they aren't doing their part.

2 ac techs said I got under my house and messed up my duct work. First they only stick their head in and tried to look with a flashlight. I just bought this house and am disabled. I have not been under the house. Secondly the guy who came out for dryer told AHS it was still under my warranty and it was not. So I had to pay for a new one.

Poor to none communication from the supervisors (Mr Kelly) and the CEO Rex T. Mr Kelly was advised multiple times of my concern to speak to with him in hopes that he could get results for the service on my central air condition.. I have been without air for over two weeks with a part being ordered. I expressed the unit is leaking and damaging my wood flooring and baseboard newly installed but that is not important to them because I"m told it nothing they do for the flooring Also I express my tenants are elderly in there 80 with heat in the 85 degrees.

time is of the essence when it comes to repair needs and while some contractors are great and super responsive, others are less responsive and concerned about the homeowner needs. This is also complicated by the process of getting approval from AHS to proceed and then getting an appointment to actually get the job done

My dryer has been out almost a month. I had a video conference with their contractor and after not hearing from them for a week I called AHS. They called the contractor and they made an appt for the following week. The contractor cancelled my appt w/o telling me. I waited on them all day and when I called for a status update is when I found out. They cancelled 2 more appts after that w/o telling me. I have been calling almost daily to AHS asking for a different service co and they give me the run around. Yesterday was the final straw. I was scheduled again between 10 and 2 and when they didn't show we called to talk to a supervisor. Still haven't heard from a supervisor, but the service guy came at 5:30 after my husband and I both called and he didn't have the part. Said it was a wasted trip since the problem was already diagnosed and he wasn't given the part. Extremely frustrated and very dissatisfied.

My experience with American Home Shield was not handled well as for as my claim for repair/replacement of my upright freezer. There was a communition barrier between the customer sevice person and myself. It was difficult to understand her. I had to ask her to repeat herself several times and I had to repeat to also. I told her I was having problems with my stand alone upright freezer and she would repeat upright icemaker. I would correct her and tell her it's not an icemaker but an upright freezer and she also videotaped it. I asked to speak to her supervisor but was told that she had to take my name and phone number and give it to him to call me back in the order in which my call was received. (Still waiting on that call). When the A-1 technician cam to my house he said this's not a upright icemaker and I said , I know but I couldn't get the lady to understand that. to sum it all up I paid $100.00 for nothing because you don't replace free standing upright freezers or icemakers. So I went out and paid $305.44 for a new upright freezer. Out of total 405.44. This could have all been avoided if she had allowed me to speak to her supervisor. I thought by getting the home warranty American Home Shield had that I would have been covered for the free standing upright freezer. My bad. I hope I don't have anything else not covered under American Home Shield at $959.88/year.

Wait time to speak to a person has been as high as 50 minutes and then they still put you on hold. Repairs are not covered like they should be. Leaking shower that is under warranty but they won't cover getting into the wall or “creating and access”. I can understand not paying to put it back but getting to the leak should be covered.

When an A/C goes out during a triple digit heat wave, contractor should get back to people. AHS phone reps should not tell people the Contractor will call them as soon as they finish the job they are on when all the Service rep did was leave a voicemail for the Contractor.

Because of their agents who work in customer service not always willing to listen to questions you're trying to ask.

The reason I did not give it a 5 star review is because of the long wait required to get an AC compressor approved and replaced. It takes approximately 2 weeks! In 90 and above summer days, 2 weeks to get your AC working again is cruel and unusual punishment.

I understand the value of this service, but the length of time to get things resolved can be frustrating. For instance, it is now June 24 and we have not had a working refrigerator since February 6. Our problem is that we have a built-in refrigerator. It would be too expensive to replace under their guidelines, but fixing it is proving to difficult a job.

It is very easy to file a claim and schedule service. The contractors they use are top notch. The only reason for not giving them 5 stars is that the amount they will authorize for replacement of a major appliance (ex. Furnace, AC) is only sufficient to cover an entry level product.

My last few experiences with customer service was horrendous. I do not appreciate having to communicate with people whom I cannot understand and who cannot understand me, or being put on hold for well over 30 minutes without checking to see if I am alright any to apologize for waiting that long or scheduling a contractor that isn't a member of the BBB and is not listed anywhere as a contractor and has been sued by half of the area I live. It took almost 3 days to get a contractor that was requested when I became a member several years ago. Last year my air unit went up and athe contractor that was scheduled wasn't the one that was supposed to come to my home instead this person did not turn off the power to the unit and fell up against it knocking other parts inside of the unit which caused copper wiring to touch and blowing up the wiring. He then drained the freon and replaced the wiring without telling me he did so and instead of taking responsibility as everyone makes mistakes he told his company that there was a leak in the lines which there wasn't and charged me 450.00 I finally got in touch with a US rep who contacted them and they told the rep a completely different story but they weren't told the truth. I was told to stop payment that cost me 60.00. The contractor continued to harass me and even once came to my home. I continued to call AHS and they told me not to worry about it. Finally after 7 months of being harassed I had enough and the legal dept was contacted. It actually got worse before getting better. It was a horrible experience. If the contractor requested on my account would have been contacted that wouldn't have happened. Then this past time took 4 more days than it should. I have been with AHS for many years and have paid my bill on time for all of those years. I have asked for very little but for good customer service but unfortunately have not received it.

We've been reassuring for three weeks for a call about the status of our work order. I've called three times to both AHS and Accent Air fir an update. Each said they were waiting on the other to contact them. Today Ascent said that AHS asked them for approval too replace our A/C compressor. Accent said they had responded three times. I called AHS again and he found where Accent had responded twice, I believe. The AHS person said that he thought the authorizing office is considering the request and would respond within 48 hours. At that time AHS will contact us. This is the first time we've had such trouble getting anything completed.
