Had a problem with my furnace, called and they sent a repairman. Furnace was examined and needed additional parts. Repairman returned in 2 days as promised and made the repairs. I. couldn’t be more pleased. The serviceman was pleasant, dedicated and did what was required. What more can you ask?

I've never experienced any difficulty in the 7 years I've been a customer. Timeliness, courtesy and professionlism are 3 words that come to mind. The staff are always so friendly. I would recommend AHS anytime. I've recommended AHS to several co workers and they've been pleased also.

My last use was for a bad garbage disposal. American Home shield had a plumber call in less than 24hrs, and that company came to fix it 4hrs later. The plumber was kind, courteous, and professional. Hats off the plumber and AHS.

Since my dryer was broken down twice within 60 days, I only had to pay the $100 service fee once. AHS customer service is very polite and willing to find out the answers to my questions and the service contractor was extremely nice, accurate and professional.

AHS got someone out here very quickly; the company just didn't fix the problem not the first time (9-15-2017 while still under warranty) , nor the second time, by the fourth time, the air conditioning was cooling & working. A-Z put a pound of refrigerant in the unit on 9-22-2017 & checked for leaks. But by 11-10-2017 (not even 2 months), the unit had Zero refrigerant and was a fire hazard! And our warranty had expired. We had to get a New air conditioner on 11-13-2017 with AMC Cool Air Contractors Inc. (with a 10 yr warranty). Therefore, we only gave AHS a 3 star because of the SUB-STANDARD A-Z air conditioning /plumbing company.

I have mixed feelings about AHS. I believe this company can improve on customer service as well as making sure the customer is better taken care of by the contractor. I have two negative experiences with contractors. I don't think AHS tracks when a contractor is sent out and when the contractor gives the diagnosis to ahs or the consumer. The repair takes longer than necessary due to this lack of communication and supervision, therefore the consumer suffers. I feel the serice fee should not be taken until the contractor submits the diagnosis. Also I feel that ahs should give the consumer a new contractor ig the diagnosis isn't received within 24hrs. Customer service should never get into an argument with a consumer especially if the consumer isn't being disrespectfull or vulgar. If a consumer asks for another representative or manager then they should be able to elevate their request. I also think ahs flags accounts so that that service requests are disapproved. Lately I haven't been satisfied with ahs.

We didn't have to hold very long to speak to a representative and our appointment was in a timely manner. The tech showed up and fixed the problem and explained things to us perfectly. We just started using AHS so this was our first call but we had a pleasant experience.

I have been with AHS for the past 22 years. The policy have changed throughout these years. I had had good repairs that were solved the same day. However, I had had plumbing and refrigerator repairs that needed more than 3 consecutive visits to conclude the repair! If your appliance is from Sears Co. you have to pay the current deductible of $75 plus the fee from the Sears Technician, not included in your AHS insurance policy!! If your Sears appliances were insured by Sears, you did not have to pay for the visit or deductible. Everything would be included in your policy! About 10 years ago, my air conditioner unit broke down during the summer month in Mississippi (MS), where the temperatures average 100-103F with heat index. My husband was alone in our house and had to wait for more than a week without a/c because AHS needed 3 bids from air conditioning companies, before conducting the repair/replaced of the broken unit. It was an emergency due to the higher environmental temperatures at MS, but AHS did not offer any hotel accomodations while the broken unit were inspected by these 3 heating/air conditioning companies to get the best bid fir the job. Lastly, one representative of one of the companies that conducted the inspection on my heat and a/c unit, stepped on two places on the indoor roof, while walking on my attic. The representative of the sub contractor company made two dents on the indoor roof of my house! When I mentioned to AHS the incident, they refused to repair the damage because they were not responsible by the biding companies they sub contracted to do the inspection!! I was very disappointed with the AHS attitude towards this incident!!

If you need basic service its great, easy to book online, immediate call to book appt, techs show up, call when late. If you have a problem - good luck. Some service people are totally inept, some are good. If you have an issues you cant get through, over an hour on hold every time to speak with a person. If you want to reach a different department no contact info published on their website, no address to write to. Washer broke, tech left a wet mess and walked out, had no clue, said it was beyond repair. There is no way to follow up about getting a replacement. Its been over a month, so I just went ahead and bought a new washer. They are under staffed and have no follow through on difficult issues. Buyer beware.

American Home Shield was recommended to us by a friend. We contacted the company and found that it was just what we needed to make our life easier as landlords of a condo we were leasing out at the time. They're a great company. I've been with them for almost four years now.

Most items easily found through online reporting system. Easy to get to rep for clarification. Really like change to AHS taking fee directly. Probably saves both the company and myself money. No disagreements or bounced checks and such for AHS to resolve.

This is the first time I’ve had a home warranty. I chose AHS from a friend’s recommendation. I like the online services, but the phone and chat services need a lot of improvement. Phone calls on average take over 90 minutes to just speak to anyone. The chat maybe a little faster, but disconnects when waiting and is unreliable. It was a hastle overturning initial decisions based on bad data and unfair practices from lazy and careless repair services. My items were repaired, but only after a huge and time consuming process with arguments, justifications, and straightening of facts. Makes me feel less confident about the protection I paid for. If I wasn’t insistent and tenacious about the requested repairs, I wouldn’t have had my requests fulfilled. I just don’t think normal people should have to fight so hard to have a garbage disposal and toilet fixed, especially when it’s a first request. Also, the phone service and automated systems are completely none synchronized. I received a denial letter when it was reversed and I received an overdue notice even though I updated my payment info and verified it was paid via phone call which I had to wait another 90 minutes just to verify and make payment. Very frustrating for customers and our time. Hope you can take this feedback and improve.

The prices are better than any of the other companies I checked with for my home warranty. Using an independent insurance agent I feel like there's always somebody that I can call. And the home warranty that I have it covers everything it's great

I sent an email giving my problem. AHS was in touch with me very fast! Then I received an email from the plumbing co. They had set up an appointment. They came out on that date, inspected my problem and installed a new garbage disposal unit. Always receive great service anytime something happens!!!!

The wait time to talk to a rep is ridiculous so if you're busy, don't try calling them. We have been hung up on and transferred to other when reps aren't in the mood to deal with problem solving. They schedule service promptly, but it took several days once they approved the repair to actually have it done. We had to get a second opinion from an additional vendor through them, and were never made aware they would try to bill us our deductible again for this. The first company was obviously retarded since repairs were approved with the second. We had our water heater replaced and there were items that weren't covered, I just paid the difference because I was tired of dealing with the other water heater but it would have been much better to see a copy of the estimate when I am paying a portion of the bill because I highly assume that we got raked for B.S. charges but I guess that's probably my fault for not demanding it. We will probably continue with AHS as our yearly rate is lower than other companies I've got estimates from in the past.

Best home warranty company I have had. My last home warranty would not fix any repairs I needed because they claimed it was pre-existing even though my home inspector indicated otherwise. AHS will fix the problem so the appliance will work. I am very happy with their service.

Water heater flooded the garage on a Sunday. After waiting on-hold over an hour, they assigned a service provider whose first available was the following weekend. Called AHS back (another hour on hold), but was happy they assigned another provider who came out the following morning and was able to inspect the issue and get approval to replace the unit immediately. In the end they ultimately exceeded my expectations.

We bought a house that included this home warranty. So glad! The first year both outside & inside A/C broke. Took about 3 weeks to diagnose & repair each one. We just used a window unit both times until it was repaired. Washing machine broke & it took 3 weeks also. Even with the 3 week wait, it saved us a lot of money. Just wish they could do repairs faster. We renewed after the first year.

American Home Shield was so easy to work with, and I'm sincerely impressed in their company. They took the time to explained details and differences in warranty coverage verses insurance coverage. They allowed me to ask questions and answered them without a judgement or a pushy attitude. When a claim was needed they work quickly to diagnosis our problem and formulated a plan to fix it fast. They had great communication to keep us posted during the whole process. Highly recommend.

Not only do they have multiple ways to submit a claim , whether online or by phone, the response time from vendors is extremely fast. Also , the vendors are always top reviewed experts when you google their service.

When we were first enrolled in AHS, it was great. The montly rate was reasonable and the amount we had to pay if we needed someone to look at our appliances was reasonable. The first thing I noticed when I had to call someone in, the companies were not from my area--they were all about 20 miles away. I found this odd because we live in Pittsburgh (there are hundreds of others very near). We have had decent experiences with most of the companies who have visited. That being said, when our air conditioner broke a few years back, the company would only allow $2300 to replace the air conditioner. It was checked yearly, but was 26 years old. The company wouldn't budge and we had to cover the difference for a new AC (even though we had been a customer of AHS for over 10 years). Our monthly rate has increased $20 per month over the last 15 years and the amount we have to pay when visited by a technician has increased to $75. We still have it, but would recommend looking for another company.

They have replaced or repaired multiple appliances for me and it has always been easy and affordable. When a repair couldnt be completed they replaced my washing machine with an upgraded version and then I bought the matching dryer machine thru them at a discounted rate. Very happy with the CS and value and most of all the competence of the companies the send when I have a claim.

WHen we first purchased our home, it included a 1 year home warranty. Given it was an older home, we felt more comfortable w/our purchase because of having it. Later that summer, it sure came in handy, as our A/C went out in Arizona. AHS was great to work with & got someone out w/in a few hours & we were quickly back in our cool house. At the end of that year, we opted to extend our home warranty & it’s definitely helped on multiple occasions.

We bought an American Home Shield home warranty with last two houses we've bought. In the first house, our problems were minor, just an appliance here or there that were broken and repaired. But in our last house, we had an American Home Shield warranty and had to have two air conditioning units replaced. They were old units, and we knew that when we bought the house, but we didn't think they'd need replaced in the first year! Until that first summer. We live in Arizona, so when an air conditioner goes out--it's URGENT. American Home Shield was great to work with and got us a repair specialist out quickly. When it was determined that the units needed to be replaced, they took care of everything, and we only had to pay a small fee. Best warranty purchase ever. You never think you need a warranty--until you do! American Home Shield was amazing to work with.
