I had a problem that came up when the gas company had changed the outside meter. When their technician turned on the pilot lights, he discovered leaks on the furnace gas valve and gave me a simple write up to have it repaired. I immediately got on the wed site provided by American Home Shield and reported it. It was answered promptly by email and by a phone call and a contractor was assigned. The contractor called me the next day to set up an appointment time and upon arrival he made a decision that he needed to replace the gas valve. He returned the next day with the new unit and changed. The technician took his time and made the correct changes that were needed in the gas line... Read More

Hi Jonathan, We are happy that you are pleased with your services. Thanks for the great feedback!
I recently had A/C issues for the second floor of my home. American Home Shield promptly responded to my service request and contracted with Myers Comfort Specialists. The technicians at Myers Comfort Specialists were friendly and knowledgeable and quickly able to determine what was wrong with my A/C unit. However, from the time I first notified American Home Shield of the service request to the actual date of repair, it was almost three weeks. A large part of that was due to waiting to receive the part from the manufacturer, but even after Myers Comfort Specialists received the part, a technician was not available for almost another week. In the middle of summer when it was extremely hot... Read More

Hello Blair, Thanks for sharing your service experience with us. We appreciate the opportunity to improve our customer experience.
First of all..... The call wait time is EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE! Always more than 1 hour, even though the reps tell you to call late at night (which I'm doing right now at 10:35 pm PST)... still I'm waiting! Trying to get them to fix a clunking/squeal noise in my microwave is not covered.... I thought that they promise to fix and bring appliance to normal operation. Well..... I didn't buy this microwave with all of that noise, so why won't they fix it! They have charged my account with $200.00 that was supposed to be credited. Well it's been hanging around for three billing cycles and it's still there, and preventing me from scheduling service online. Therefore, I have to call in... Read More

Service was timely and man that came to our home was very polite and dressed for the job.

Well, I can say that American Home Shield was a good company but that was a long time ago. That is not the case anymore. The wait to reach an operator is one hour and 40 minutes. They have hidden things in their contract. For example, they don't cover FREON OR ANYTHING toward the repair of your unit necessarily for a repair to pass inspection by the county. This should be illegal because companies should not be allowed to provide a service which does not follow government and county guidelines otherwise, they will place the people in harm's way. I called them to submit a claim after I have been paying AHS for about 10 years. my AC unit has a leak and they will only be willing to... Read More

Average warranty. Save some cash and pay out of pocket for repairs and replacements.

Thanks Prince for the wonderful feedback!
I have submitted 3 claims since we have signed up with AHS. 1 claim was denied (plumbing blockage), 1 claim was never responded to (Microwave LED), and 1 claim was worked on, temporarily fixed, but still not working properly. I would save the $500, and use that money to hire contractors who will fix the items that are denied by AHS.

We appreciate you sharing the wonderful feedback with us John.
AHS is a very good home warranty organization with prompt service when you get them on the phone. They do have tremendous wait times when calling in and have at times been on hold for close to an hour.
