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.

GBWorst home warranty company ever Worst home warranty company ever! They never cover anything - they always say it’s not their responsibility. Or they’ll cover some of it and you still need to come out of pocket with over $1000. EVERY TIME I file a claim with them it’s the same story and answer. Now I’m dealing with a major flood because they refuse to do anything they’re supposed to do.

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.

GBDrain line failure, Claim denied for clearly untrue reasons. After a drain line underneath our home wore out due to age American home shield decided that it was the concrete floor that caused the pipe to collapse and we were denied coverage. This was not the opinion of the plumber, but something that they decided. When we asked for a second opinion, they couldn't find another plumber in our area (of 120,000 + residents) to come and look at the issue. American Home Sheild is a complete waste of money. Unless you want to donate a monthly amount to this company for absolutely no reason, you should save your money. You get the added bonus of waiting weeks to attempt to resolve problems, that they will not cover. A massive waste of time and a significant amount of additional stress will enter your life if you buy an American Home Sheild policy and something actually goes wrong.

GBFalse Advertisement What a joke, this company was fine to work with when replacing my downstairs AC unit 2 years ago. Now that my upstairs AC unit does not work they won't replace it. HVAC people have come out numerous times and can't find why it's not working, besides its age & it needs to be replaced. They want to send me to HVAC company after company until they find the answer they want and I have to pay! DO NOT waste your hard earned money with a company that I will be pursing legal action against if this does not get solved.
