AHS American Home Shield

We contacted this company on Monday about our refrigerator going out. Two companies assigned to us and Thursday afternoon and no one has shown up after telling us they would be here daily. Just called and they said tomorrow. I just threw away over $1K in food today, trying to keep it until we could get our refrigerator and freezer fixed. 100 degrees here today and no ice, freezer or refrigerator for 4 days now. DO NOT WASTE YOUR GOOD MONEY ON THIS COMPANY. You will get ZERO customer service and spend days getting something fixed.

I have dealt with multiple home warranty companies and AHS ranks as my worse experience - due to the following regarding a received HVAC service: 1. AHS automatically assigns the "first available" contractor who is generally a subpar 1-2 star company. (i.e. Frog heating and cooling). Once they assign this contractor you are stuck with them unless you accept the cash out option. 2, Any repairs that are covered by AHS are always less than the "modifications" that the contractor states are necessary and must be paid out of pocket by client - this is usually in the $thousands when dealing with repairing an HVAC. It is evident that these "so-called - modifications' costs mask the cost of the actual repairs that are supposed to be covered by AHS. 3. The Cash-Out option is always a minimal / discounted and/or wholesale amount-- for instance - I'm supposed to receive a total of $250.00 for a heat exchanger (usually $700 and up) and furnace blower. 4, When you select the cash out offer - you are suppose to received your payments within 21 days. Its been over 21 days -- I've called and was told that it was sent out but they can't confirm what address it was sent to (I have multiple properties) and now it will take an additional 14 days to re-issue a check. When everything is said and done -- AHS and its approved "contractors" are in collusion to gouge its clients. I have multiple contracts with AHS and I will not be renewing the contract!

I had an air conditioner compressor replaced by AHS less than a year ago. It always made a weird noise, but I didn't think much of it being the replacement was in August and I live in Texas (just needed my house to be cool). The sound got progressively worse and during my A/C checkup this summer, the contractor said it is faulty and needed to be replaced. This was in June 2021... it is now almost October. I have been tossed around between contractor phone calls telling me they haven't heard of a work order, agents from AHS telling me a variety of stories, not following through, and not to mention themultiple dropped calls. I was calling once every two weeks, to once a week, and now twice a week... still not getting anywhere. However, they are sure to still charge me my monthly subscription fee right on time. This company is so sketchy. Their representatives have chickens in the background, only the script, and their "manager" is always "busy with other clients". I have never experienced something like this and honestly feel like there might never be fixed.

I would give zero stars if I could. They dont cover what is in your contract, then when you try to speak to a Supervisor they ALWAYS say they are not available but tell you a Supervisor will call you back but that never happens, then they try to double charge you on service calls you already paid for and they let you know this by e - mail that you can not respond back to because it's one of the no reply e mails so you are forced to call them at their overseas call center and wait on hold for 2 hrs. On average and then when you get through they will not answer your question out right then they hang up on you. When you ask them for their legal representatives point of contact so you can have your attorney contact them they out right deny that to you. I will never ever ever use this fraudulent company again. Oh and did I mention their website has no other number you can call but their overseas call center and they conveniently have a no class action lawsuit clause in your contract only small claims court which they give you no information when requested so you can give it to your attorney to make case for small claims court. Do yourself a favor and look at all the scams they have pulled on people on youtube.

Take your money and do not provide the service, then they mark the service as completed when no one has ever came out to take care of the problem. They was contacted by the furnace repair person they assigned to the job and told BY the repair person they contracted that they do not service our area... BUT THEY STILL TOOK OUR MONEY AND MARKED IT IN THEIR SYSTEM AS COMPLETED! I have contacted them 2 times now for the refund and still have not received it as of yet. Very untrustworthy in our opinion. No way to do business.

THEY ARE UNREACHABLE! OUR DISHWASHED HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR 3 WEEKS, SINCE 5/22/2020. SUPPOSEDLY THE REPAIR FIRM IS AWAITING PARTS FROM AHS. THEY REFERRED ME TO CALL AHS FOR A STATUS, AND EVERY TIME WE CALL WE'RE IMMEDIATELY ON HOLD FOR HOURS! LITERALLY HOURS!
WE WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE RENEWING OUR CONTRACT WITH THEM.

IF I COULD RATE THEM WITH ZERO STARS I WOULD!

BEWARE! I spent 45 min on the phone trying to cancel my contract with American Home Shield. They kept asking me why I wanted to cancel it and insisted so much on trying to change my mind. I was transferred to two people from Spanish to English and put on hold many times. I think they thought I wasn't bilingual and I wouldn't be able to cancel my contract. Please think twice before getting a contract with them. They even said to me that my contract was in auto-renew. I told them at least more than 20 times that I wanted to cancel the contract and they didn't even care about it.
For another contract that I had with them, I canceled it and verified it. I accessed my online account and it was renewed without my authorization. I just called them to cancel it again and they told me that the department of cancelations is not accepting phone calls so I'll spend another hour cancelling a contract that was cancelled already.

I called American Home Shield on March 15th to get my refrigerator repaired. I gave them the make and model number, but they assigned it to a contractor who don't repair my type of refrigerator. Next it got assigned to a new contractor, who did come to the house, spent 5 minutes looking at the problem and said he would have to order a part that would arrive at my house within 8 to 10 days. After two weeks, I called AHS again as I was worried about any packages arriving without my having a tracking number. AHS representative said they would call the contractor the next day since they were closed and call me back. Not so! After many calls, I have learned that AHS representatives repeatedly lie about calling me back with an update from the contractor who is apparently the only one that can fix my refrigerator. I asked that the situation be escalated, but still no return call. It has now been over a month and a half and still they are telling me that it is the contractor's fault for not submitting a report and getting a needed part approved. My repeated calls have not stirred AHS in any action to move this along. How long must I wait? Dealing with this is beyond frustrating!

My husband use to be a big time cheat and i was curious of getting proofs about it for real then i saw recommendations about Fred from reviews online and never hesitated to contact him, his a very good hacker and can help hack into any device, social networks including - Facebook, Hangout, Messages, Twitter accounts, Snap chat messages and also any other social media messenger or sites. He asked me for some few information about my husband mobile device no personal info was asked for also, i provided it all to him and in less than 24 hours i was getting too see my husband text messages, call logs and as well as whatsapp messages as they come into his phone, i was able to get good and solid proof for my Antony to file a divorce, if you are having same issues i would advise you to contact HACKERSONLINE360@ Gmail dot com

Do not use 6 weeks in and still micro wave is broken. 4 days off work to be home for the technician, still doesn't work! So called home shield and this is what I got. Hi can you tell me when my microwave will be fixed, "no sorry" how long will I need to wait before you just replace it as the technician has been out twice and still doesn't work, " Ummm, we will continue to replace parts until it works" so is there a time frame when you guys just say listen the customer has waited long enough we haven't fixed it so let's just replace it? " no we don't have anything like that" this was the best part... so why don't you send and email wit the suggestion for customer service sake a time frame should be set and once met no matter what we replace the item to ensure the customer has waited a reasonable period without resolve and we need to meet our obligation? " oh we can't send emails they don't let us make suggestions" so 6 weeks down and warranty paid in full. Not even a time frame for when the next tech will be out to try and fix it? So I would say if you need something in your life to test your patience and give you something to stare at that doesn't work, but like the occasional visitor to come in and try this is the warranty for you! Otherwise keep your money... and the company could care less... If American homeshield looks at this you can find me I'm in NM ******* microwave broken. The wording part is they probably have 1000, 00 of us payers who still have broken stuff.

After paying American Home Shield to come fix our washing machine three times in short succession we were told that it was permanently broke. The problem is it stops in mid spin cycle leaving us with a tub full of soaking wet washing, and drying this wet washing is a big chore and cost. Anyway, we believed after being told it was broken, we at least could look forward to a replacement as American Home Shield promise.
Well, that is what we thought. Six months later, and four telephone calls to their 'Customer Support' who blamed their contractor and PROMISED on each occasion to sort the problem out THE NEXT DAY, we were still without a replacement machine. My last hope was writing to the CEO, Rex Tibbins and explaining the situation we were in, he was bound to investigate it wasn't he? Nope! We have heard back absolutely nothing- not even a little note saying he will get it investigated.

The average one-star rating shown here is generous - I would give AHS and Mr Tibbin a big zero.

I was with them for over 15 years with multiple homes. Over the past 4 years, service has declined to the point where you have to wait over a week to get most anything fixed. First, they won't answer the phone, I waited on hold for 2.5 hours in the middle of a Monday last month before giving up. Then they don't just order a repair, first you wait 24 to 72 hours not including weekend for a tech to schedule an appointment. Then they come out and evaluate the problem even if you've told them exactly down to the part what is wrong, Then the tech returns to the office to submit for approval, then they reschedule for possible repairs if they have the parts. If you live in a rural area, good luck, they will just tell you "sorry, we don't have anyone in your area can you call someone to come out and sent us an estimate for approval?" That's not how it used to be. Then the contract clearly states cancel any time. Right, as long as you don't mind them sending you to collections for the balance of your contract, which is not at all what the contract says. As soon as you try to end the contract though is when you find out where all the telephone folks work, they call every 2 hours to get you to keep them.

I hope this will make you think twice about using American Home Shield.

AHS ARE LIARS & FRAUDS! OUR DISHWASHER & FREEZER BROKE. SERVICE CALL WAS MADE AND SOMEONE CAME OUT ON DEC 8,2020. ON DEC 17TH SUPPOSEDLY PARTS WERE ORDERED & DELIVERED TO THE WRONG CONTRACTORS ADDRESS. NOBODY WAS RESPONDING TO OUR CALLS, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE & NOT HELPFUL AT ALL BUT KEPT SAYING IM SO SORRY. WE REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER AND THEY WOULDN'T LET US AND KEPT STATING THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL US BACK. FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS NOW NOBODY FROM AHS CALLED US BACK! WE CALLED EVERY OTHER DAY IF NOT EVERYDAY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL THAT THE PART WAS DELIVERED ON JAN 8,2021 BUT YET NOBODY WAS ABLE TO FIND IT. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF AGGRAVATION THEY FINALLY REALIZED IT WENT TO THE WRONG CONTRACTORS ADDRESS. WE WERE LIED TO AND WERE TOLD DIFFERENT STORIES THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. THEY ARE HORRIBLE AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!

I am currently experiencing the same horrible service with American Home Shield as Kim Green. I have an asthmatic child and this is my 4th time dealing with my AC within 1 month period. The vendor (Fleming's AC Repair) only have one field tech to cover Lewisville, Little Elm and Frisco area. They react with little to no concern of the heat index (Dallas, TX) the customer is living through... HORRIBLE SERVICE!

My air conditioner stopped cooling so I placed a service order with AHS. The vendor they sent out discovered that my compressor had burned up and gave me an estimate of $3,000 to replace it. I later learned that this was well over a $2,000 inflation amount. Several days later, I tried calling AHS and no one answered and no one returned my call. My daughter and my son also called AHS several times and were laughed at and hung up on when they asked to speak to a supervisor. They were even told that the supervisor would not accept their calls. At this point, it was well over 105 degrees outside and inside it was in the 90s with no air conditioning. At the end of two weeks in this heat (I am a senior with major health problems so this was not good for me) my children helped me buy a brand-new air conditioner. Everything in AHS's contract were total lies. It was well over a month before I heard anything from AHS. I even sent a letter to the CEO who never answered my letter. For all they knew, I was still living in 90+ degrees in my house. I would never ever consider doing business with this company – fair warning!

THE REPAIR COMPANY'S AHS USES ARE TERRIBLE. USED 2 TIMES FOR WARRANTY WORK. FIRST WAS A WASHER THEY USED ADA REPAIR. WITHOUT GOING IN TO DETAILS THIS MUST BE THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE DEALT WITH IT TOOK 27 DAYS TO REPAIR MY WASHER. THE SECOND COMPANY WAS FOR WATER HEATER. THEY USED AIR PRO MASTERS. THEY ARE A VERY DISHONEST COMPANY. THE CHARGED FOR ITEMS THEY TOLD ME WAS REQUIRED TO PASS INSPECTION FOR A PERMIT AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR THEM. I CALLED THE CITY I LIVE IN AND WAS TOLD ITS NOT NEEDED TO GET A PERMIT, THE COMPANY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A REFUND AND TELL ME IT IS REQUIRED. ALSO TOLD ME THE CITY CHARGES $225 FOR THE PERMIT, I CALLED THE CITY THEY ONLY CHARGE $ 50.00. I TRIED TO CONTACT AHS AND FILE COMPLAINTS BUT THEY NEVER GOT BACK TO ME. RECOMMEND YOU USE ANOTHER WARRANTY COMPANY

There customer service is horrible. If you plan on talking to 4-5 CSR from AHS, and not getting anything done false promises, and have to repeat yourself over and over about your issue then this is a place you want to waste your money and time on. There contractor are garage unqualified even though they told you they are, and the contractor himself told me that AHS are a horrible company to work for and to deal with as a client and worker. WOW! One of the CSR told my husband to contact the contractor, "excuse", the CSR should be follow up with our on going problem not my husband. All the calls I was with the CSR were no help, and I have to repeat myself over and over to request a supervisor to handle my situation because no else know how to do there job. I NEVER EVER got to talk to the supervisor. I've canceled with AHS that the only thing they know how to do. I would never recommend AHS to anyone. I wish I can give them no star at all.

Someone is getting paid to list this company as the best home warranty company out there. They are not the best. They scam people to join and once you're in and you need them, they will send you the skivviest vendor out there to fix your stuff. The customer service will say how sorry they are to you all day long and act like they are trying their best to help when really, there hands are tied because the script is already set for them. The company cares nothing about their customers. AHS is a subsidy of Service Master Global Holdings Inc., So threatening to leave is nothing to them, its a small drop in their corporate billion dollar bucket. I have too many instances to mention on this page, because they tricked us into coming back to them. But since we're now on a monthly basis, I will be cancelling and currently looking for a new Home Warranty Company that will hopefully stand up to what they say they do. My advice, buy into them at your own risk, because in my experience, they don't care about their customers.

Company was very professional. They completed repairs in a timely manner. I have been an AHS member for 10 years. I have always been pleased with their service.

Can I give then negative stars? I have had stalkers and scammers give me less trouble than this company! I researched them and decided against using them, but they will not leave me alone. I get at least one call a day every single day from American Home Shield, from different numbers...just like a professional scam artist. I cannot block them all. They get through and leave me voice mail messages. I have called them to request that they stop calling me. It is almost impossible to wade through the auto phone system and when I do get through they tell me they need to put me on hold and get someone who can help me with that...and then leave me there without ever coming back. I left the hold going all night long one day. I have also changed my voice mail message to specifically address American Home Shield representatives, asking them to please stop calling me. Telling them I am on the National Do not call list, they are in violation by continuing to call, I will report them every time they call, remove me from the contact list. Still calling every day. Seriously, how does this company have a good BBB rating? Everything about them screams SCAM. DO not use them. Do not contact them. Warn your friends. Warn your realtors - mine actually recommended them! This company is in the business of harassment. Pay them $1500 and they will stop calling you for 6-12 months until they want your money again.

I've been trying to get my washing machine fixed for 2 weeks. They decided they needed a 2nd opinion in order to replace it as recommended by first contractor but the 2nd contractor can't come out for another 2 weeks. I've followed every step they've recommended including calling back today... I've currently been on hold/in discussions for over 1 hour with no solution. All I'm asking is that they assign it to another contractor today so that someone can come out the first of the week (today is Friday), but unfortunately, they seem to follow a script that they are unable to deviate and can not refer you to a supervisor (even though they say they can). I've had AHS for multiple years... but almost every time I have to deal with them, I end up frustrated. Simply put, customer service is not a priority. If you can be extremely patient, then this warranty service might work for you. If you need something fixed in a timely manner, this company isn't for you. A second issue is that they look for loopholes in which to deny claims and delay service (a previous claim took several months to resolve). If you choose AHS, all I can say is "good luck."

Do not ever buy this company! Even if you need help there's no one and no supervisor that will help you. You'll just get stuck in a loop in India somewhere. I put in a request for my pool pump on May 9 and they only have one service contractor that can help the whole DFW area which means I have to wait until May 26 for my pool pump to get repaired. I'm not sure if you know about pool pumps but they're pretty essential to the pool. My pool is already green and if they wait until May 26 it will need to be drained resurface and all of the equipment will need to be brand new which would be about $50,000. Since I cannot get any help from anyone I am looking into a lawyer. I wish I could say this was the first that experience however I had to pay for my garbage disposal out of Pocket because their technicians were not capable of figuring it out. And I think they have a secret deal with their contractors to put all of the cost on the customer. I had a problem with my plumbing and the contractor and a HS said that it was outside of the contract and I had to pay over $7000 out of pocket for my plumbing as well. This home warranty is cost me a lot of money please please please if you have a similar instance file a lawsuit with me please
