Drain 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.

3 things 3 things. Been with AHS for seven years. My warranty says the water heater is covered. Water heater broke down. 1) AHS says they won't cover it. 2) When asked if I could speak to a manager, I was told it would be in 2 to 3 business days. 3) Customer service agents do not speak good English which makes it hard to understand them. Do not use this company. They do not honor their word and you are not important enough to speak to a manager on the same day.

SAVE 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.

Purchased home warrenty 3 years ago. Purchased home warrenty 3 years ago. Company aware home is manufactured. Never had a claim for 3 yrs at $89/mo. 2/16/2024 roof leak claim Assigned 24/7 Perfect Roof who never called, never return 6 calls to me OR AHS. “Reassigned another company” who AHS could not find or assign. 2/26/2024 Tried to cancel contract but “1 more chance” they assured me I could go out of network. Out of network denied by AHS because of manufactured home status, which they knew 3 yrs ago. YOUR FIRED!!!! REVIEW: 0/10 Do not use!!!!

The 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.
