GBExtremely frustrating experience 1) Horrible overseas customer service. The people on the phone are robots reading off a script, rather than people who think through problems. Every single time I called it was like nails on a chalk board, trying to understand their English and dealing with the pre-written scripts. 2) The overseas escalation team refused to interpret my contract correctly when it came to my roof add-on option. I argued over the phone for over an hour. We finally had to spend $200 on online tools to get the company executives' (state-side) contact information, who finally correctly (but rudely in the end) dealt with the problem correctly. 3) Even after we had in writing the amount they were contractually obligated to pay for our roof, it took 3 months for my roof contractor to get paid. The process seemed smoother for appliance contractors, but my roofer was used to dealing with normal home insurance, and being uninitiated, and he had to be on the phone for hours talking to customer service to even get transferred to the correct number for the contractor portal. He was also treated rudely by the executive we had to contact, like he was stupid for not knowing their twisted "process". 4) I was unable to cancel my contract online but had to spend time on the phone jumping through more awful customer service hoops just to cancel my contract. THEN, even though I was in the middle of a contract month and had just paid my premium two weeks prior, they wanted to charge me an extra month as a cancellation charge. They offered two free months to keep me as a customer, provided I return to automatic renewal (fat chance!). I've been offered one month free premium in the past because of a billing issue and they didn't keep their word, so I turned down their free months and get out of there! 5) It took them at least a month in the first place to be able to find a roofing contractor that would even work with them.

GBSAVE YOUR MONEY - PAY FOR YOUR OWN REPAIRS! They utilize contractors that are new in business, non-professional. We had only 3 claims in 3 years but on all of them, we had to have our own contractor repair the damage as AHS's choice of contractor was inept. When we decided it was time to drop the coverage, AHS gave me the run-around, transferred my calls into a cue for 30+ minutes & did not get back to me. I eventually had to stop payments through my bank to get my contract cancelled. Awful treatment, poor contractors, very pricey at $108.00 per month. Each year the price goes up and they lower the cap on what they will pay if you have a covered event! I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

GBThe worst The worst. Had an air conditioner compressor go out. Sent contractor and said they would fix the a/c but my portion would be $800. No details just agree to paying $800. Did some calling and found out the extra was for uncovered costs for refrigerant. Contractor cost was 110$ per pound. Local industry standard charge is 60 per pound. Contractor cost is $14 per pound. He later called and said he was sorry but signed a lock in price contract with AHS that he had to charge that much. Of course, HS denied that. My contention was either they forced the price, or they hire contractors who inflate their price with no concern for the customer. I settled for cash payment ($704) Which proves homeowners cost for uncovered is always more than customers extra costs. I received an email that I would recieve my payment deposited in 1-3 days. After a week and many calls, they are saying our system isn't working. Payments aren't going out. don't know when it will go out. This explanation was after one telling me it would be 14-21 days, Another to simply wait another day. No one who can really answer questions or give accountablilty. All phone numbers go to a phone operators who have to reach out to their managers and get back to you.

GBWorth Every Penny I trust American Home Shield to be responsive to my service requests and always get good service. I’ve received great service through the years. I can only recall 1 electrician that I was not pleased with but the majority of their contractors are knowledgeable and very professional. I wouldn’t be without American Home Shield.

I am so happy with AHS because of the ease to request serviece, and the prompt attention to my servicing needs. You don't know how much you need this service for peace of mind, until you try it. You will not be disappointed!
