Over the years I have had certain appliances break down and having AHS saved me a lot of money. It's worth having even if you only use it once a year. Just pay the deductible and your set. AHS is prompt with getting the subcontractor to get in touch with you either the same or next business day to set up an appointment. Having AHS will be your best investment you can ever have when you own a home.

I’ve experienced AHS and their competitors. Based on home appliance services offered, customer service, their repair service vendors, response and customer recovery, I would highly recommend AHS. While other companies don’t hesitate for a moment to deduct funds without fulfilling or completing services requests, AHS ensures that my needs and that of my home is taken care of first.

Great company, I have used him for several years now. They provide excellent coverage and will fix anything covered on the warranty with no questions asked. I have use them for several large items in my home to include my entire HVAC system and they water heater. Both for a place with only paying the deductible. They use reputable contractors to do the service calls. The only complaint I have is the few times I have needed to call it has been a 30 to 45 minute wait. Fortunately all your service calls and work orders can be done on the mobile app.

This is the second home we've owned and have had AHS with both. Every time we've requested a service call for any item covered within our homes, repair was scheduled and performed professionally and without any issues. We couldn't imagine life without the comfort of knowing that we're covered with American Home Shield! Highly recommended for any home owner.

American Home Shield it's easy to put in a claim for broken stuff. The website is user-friendly. They do what they say immediately you get a return email with the information of the contractor coming out and the contractor called you the next day and set up an appointment it's worth every penny you pay. The fee they charge very reasonable. I have saved a lot of money using this warranty service

I was a member when you just called in for service and spoke to a friendly customer representative. I left for a year several years ago but then signed back on after a year and plan to stay with a company I feel has been reliable and professional. There have been a couple of bumps along the way but they were positively worked out. With today prices on home services, it pays to have a company that can help you out a bit.

I was having problems with my air conditioner...called AHS and they took care of everything. A local company was at our house within a couple of days..assessed the problem and fixed it. AHS automatically deducted our fee and that was the end of the story. How easy could that be and how nice when everything is usually such a nightmare to get things done to have someone take control and do the work for you. I could not be happier with my first experience.

I received excellent service from both AHS as well as the appliance repair company they sent to repair the 42year old wall oven at my house. The oven Modern Maid is no longer even produced, but the technician from Burton's Appliance managed to find the parts and expertly repair the oven. Great job done by AHS and David Burton of Burton's Appliance.

I have AHS service contract for over 20 years to cover appliances in my house. Overall I am very satisfied with the coverage whenever I needed service to fix the problems. AHS is prompt in responding to my requests for service and follows up until the issue is resolved. My only negative comment is time it takes to reach the AHS agent when the issue escalates to repair or replace if the parts are not available. It takes average 45 minutes on phone to get agent online.

We have had AHS for several years. We have had several appliances serviced in our home...dryer, washer, fridge, stove, microwave and bathroom exhaust. AHSwas awesome to work with and the companies they sent were easy to work with. Our microwave stopped working recently and couldn't be fixed. All I needed to do was go to the approved website and pick one. AHS set up for installation. Very easy. All this was done under one deductible that I paid for the original service call. Would recommend AHS.

I have been with American Home Shield for about twenty years and have been very happy with their services. It is a wonderful feeling to know if any appliances fail, I am covered to have them fixed or replaced. We even had our air conditioner replaced. In most cases repair folks call immediately to set up a repair time. I think the monthly fee and co-pay are worth the money.

AHS was great, I just purchased my home in March and the inspector didn't see any problems with my AC but when it was time to use the AC, there was a problem. I called AHS, and they sent a company out to evaluate the problem and they discovered that I needed a new compressor, it would have cost me over $2,000 to replace the part but all I had to pay was a $75.00 service fee and $175.00 for the refrigerant. I'm happy and cool. S. Allen

American Home Shield is the greatest! Our refrigerator went out 1 day before Hurricane Harvey hit. We were flooded in but not flooded, our little town was a island. When I made the call for service they were so helpful and fast. The places that should have serviced us could not get to us but they worked with me on the phone to find someone who could. As soon as they were able to reach us the refrigerator was replaced. I found them to be so willing to go above and beyond during a difficult time to help us.

I was very happy with my experience with AHS when my water heater quit working. I reported it via computer and received a prompt reply with a referral to a service company. Since the problem happened on a week-end the plumber came out on Monday. He fixed the problem, checked out the water heater completely and even discovered that some of my circuit breakers had been mislabeled for over 20 years. He fixed those as well. He was very professionable and knowledgeable. I was very happy with the service.

AHS was remarkable. The repair concerns a refrigerator. The technician was sent out within 24 hours of logging in for repairs. He could not repair. I was given an option of a generous cash settlement or selecting a refrig from there options or one from anywhere. I choose to select one from an outside source within the offered price. It was delivered promptly. The delivery men were wonderful. Could not be more pleased with replacement frig The charge was paid quickly by AHS. AHS could not have been better!!!

I contacted AHS on line on a Sat afternoon regarding our water heater. I received a call from the plumbing company on Sunday to set an appointment for Monday morning. The plumber arrived on time. The water heater needed replaced. The first available appointment to replace was the next morning. The plumber arrived with a helper, again on time, to replace the water heater. They were done within an hour. A half hour later I had hot water. Fast, Easy, Convenient! What more can I say.

My dryer wet out and I went on line to request repair. The company immediately sent me a confirmation and notice as to which repair service would contact me. They called the next morning and scheduled an appointment to come and repair my dryer. The service technician showed up on time and was able to quickly repair the dryer with parts he had on his truck. He was quick, quiet and cleaned up after himself. I am very glad I have American Home Shield coverage!

We had an issue with our washing machine's door and scheduled an appointment with HSA online. Once the service company was assigned, I read their reviews and realized that they have many negative ones. So I called HSA and asked them to change the service company. The lady I talked to gave me a few company names and patiently waited on the phone for me to read their reviews. I finally picked one and she re-scheduled our appointment with the new company. I should say that it took me a while to get to the customer service rep, but she really did a great job.

We have had AHS for 4 years now. We have requested service twice (furnace and oven) and both times we had a great experience. It's super easy to request service - just log into your account and fill out the form and pay. In both cases, a service provider called me back within 2 hours of submission to set up an appointment. The service providers were both great - on time, had the parts with them, fixed the problem.

AHS adds plenty of value for their service. For example, their max coverage is less than their service fee, at around $68 per month, has given me great piece of mind. Like many homeowners who've bought existing homes recently, the appliances that are left behind, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc., tend to be in good working order and usually of a decent look, so we keep them around. The issue with doing that is that the warranties on those items are typically expired when you close, so unless you have some funds in the bank for a costly repair and/or replacement, AHS covers you. Not only is their coverage fair and comprehensive, but I've also submitted a couple of claims in the past 4 years and the caliber of the contractors has been great. Moreover, AHS has improved their website's UI and features so that with some claims, you can choose your preferred contractor based on customer reviews and such. This feature has been invaluable to me and has caused me to continue purchasing coverage from AHS and even become a customer of those contractors when in need of non-claim services.

Some people don't know about Home Warranty coverage. I didn't know about it until a few years ago when money got tight and everything needed to stay on budget. One thing people overlook is the need to keep their appliances in good working order. Just when you don't need an added expense, your refrigerator or over or washing machine will breakdown. Repairs sometimes cost more than buying a new appliance. Unlike homeowner insurance, home warranties will give you incentive for covering the cost of necessary home items. Homeowner insurance coverage handles natural disasters and fire, theft. But sometimes the refrigerator breaks down and you can't afford to buy a new one. This is where the home warranty comes in. I did a lot of looking in my state and found American Home Shield that can fit anyone's budget to make you're not going to be without something you desperately need in your home.

We have had policies with this company for multiple homes that we have lived in. We have also had policies with them for homes and apartments that we used as rentals. They have been easy to communicate and they have covered things that have broken like hearing and air conditioning systems. They are quick to come out and inspect problems and quick to get things fixed. We are very satisfied as customers of their company. As long as you make the recommended cleaning and inspections and keep service records, you will be spared from major expenses to have them fixed when they break or stop working properly.

There was a pipe leak which turned out not to be covered, but my deductible of $100 was not refunded. I had asked for the plumber to call me before to make sure,but the message apparently wasn't relayed.

Warranty is completely misleading about coverage. Air Conditioning went out and it took 2 visits, 2 full weeks for part to be ordered, installed and then a 2nd opinion post work completion found a necessary part to prevent future problems was not included in coverage, repair or price. Therefore costing an additional $750 for another part and repair to prevent reoccurrence of exact same problem.

I asked for AC repair. One guy came fixed it, next day it broke down again, same problem. Another guy came and reported to AHS that it is under manufacturers warranty so manufacturer should fix it. But manufacturer says that it can provide parts but they will not fix it. So basically, I have been paying for a service that is denying everything that I ask to be fixed in my home. It is a complete waste to have them.

There is no urgent line if something is extremely wrong. They do not take notes correctly on the phone so that the contractor can correctly work on all things listed . Not on the list?
