American Home Shield Reviews

Coverage
I have been with American Home Shield for 3 years and two houses, had numerous calls in for repairs and not one thing has been covered. I have now spent many of thousands of dollars on insurance and co-pays and they always found a reason for something not to be covered. I give up, cancelling my coverage and going back to Fidelity. AHS is a scam !!

American Home Shield are the experts in how to provide absolutely zero customer service
American Home Shield are the experts in how to provide absolutely zero customer service. Their "customer representatives" -- ironic since that's the last thing they are -- are not trained in helping their customers in any way. They are extremely rude, unhelpful, and confrontational. For example, you will hit a wall if you ever try to change the company who was sent out to service you. They pick the cheapest and crappiest companies to do the work. OR, if they claim that something is not covered because it was "installed incorrectly" -- even if it came that way with a new house that you bought -- you're stuck. AHS is not worth a penny. The only reason they can stay in business is cause they have a self-serving relationship with real estate agents that require them to buy warranties for every house that they sell. AVOID them at all costs. We're canceling our policy.

Using spammers to send junk mail
American Home Shield is using spammers to send junk mail. As soon as you block one, they use another spammer! They should be ashamed. I would never do business with a spammer!

Rude, lazy, arrogant
Dont' ever use American Home Shield or Carter plumbing services which is one of their vendors. AHS partners with companies that don't want to work or provide any services. If they worke to save the insurance company money by refusing to do any work and hanging up the phone etc etc, then they shouldn't be allowed to be sent out to customers by AHS.

Carter plumbing is AWFUL. I called to complain, and the lady was like if you don't like just go somewhere else. She can say this cause she can. They have a corporate accound dont' have to do anything to work for their money. AHS sends them out, they get 60 bucks for 2 minutes of consulting and leave and move on to the next AHS customers

Bad business
The water heater tank in my washroom leaks. American Home Shield (AHS) sent the plumber to the house and he gave me a written estimate of $1, 200 for a replacement thank. This amount of was not cover by American Home Shield for some reason. I called American Home Shield to negotiate; they offered me $295 cash out option. This amount doesn't cover the cheapest water heater tank from Lowe's or Home Depot. Why should I pay American Home Shield $45/month to have this problem? This company make their money through fault promises; don't buy into it. Not worth your time or money.

Bad service
Had this company for a number of years. Barely used for repairs. When we really needed them for a replacement sump pump, (heavy rain in area), no plumber responded.After several calls to company, they sent out a plumber that improperly installed a plastic pump(warrantied for 45 days!). The float was hitting the side of the wall. Company would refuse to respond to our approximate 15 calls to them. This included upper management employees as well. Company tried to say we had a "box" in the way, hard to do repair! It was four thin pieces of wood to cover the hole in the corner. Before a plumber was to arrive, we "lifted" off the so called box. It's funny because four years ago, the same company came in and repaired with a good quality pump, not some plastic garbage. Save your money people, look elsewhere for a reputable company. This one went downhill all the way!!

Stay away
Heat pump broke 12/4. Told to operate in emergency heat. Vendor took over 3 weeks to get it fixed. Broke again. Now no heat. Unit is 25 years old. I paid for this insurance for about 10 years. They should just replace unit. Life span of heat pumps is about 15 years. Instead it is being patched over and over. I hear what appears to be scripted replies from service dept. No heat now. Freezing temps. Again waiting for vendor. Only one avail. in metro area. Had to go out and buy portable heaters because of freezing temps.

Shoddy repair job
AHS contractor, Sears/A&E Tech, installed ill-fitting universal parts which devalues my appliance and my property. AHS does not stand behind the shoddy repair job and their escalated rep, Jason, accused me of "just wanting to get a new appliance." My response, "isn't that fair if you can't get properly fitting parts? And, isn't that what I've been paying you for?"

American Home Shield wants to get out of paying any claims. And Sears keeps closing out the repair order, requiring them to come out multiple times. BTW, Sears people give you attitude. Do not get American Home Shield insurance!!!

Should be banned
Bought home with this service provided. Furnace went out 12/19/10 - so just a tad cold outside. Called and they scheduled their workers. Told if I don't hear from them in 2 hours to call them back. Well, of course, I didn't hear from them so I called back. I was advised at that time I could get an outside company to repair it since it is the furnace but to call them after I select the comapny for the 'reimbursement procedures'. Made appt., called them back. This person bascially called me a liar that I couldn't have outside authorization and they wouldn't pay. Long story short, went to the 'escalated' dept, where she had all these notes but refused to help and 'apologized for their staff's error in not explaining it clearly to me' but they refuse to pay. Asked for next supervisor and after holding for 17 minutes they came back and said they couldn't get one to the phone and would transfer me to a specific individual and they would call me back. Today is 12/21 and I haven't heard from this person or anyone. So, here I am, on hold with yet another person telling me that all she sees is they scheduled someone to come and that is it. No notes on all the other phone calls or problems so ... you guessed it, they wont reimburse. Onto the next person to argue with!!

Washer warranty repairs
After 5 weeks of warranty repairs, American Home Shield's appliance repair vendor Magic Appliance, Inc. of Sherman Oaks, California still did not repair our washer machine. We ended up buying a new machine at a cost of over $ 880.00. American Home Shield then offered us $ 55.00 as a pay-off for the washer. I would never recommend AHS to anyone.
