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.

This company is a scam This company is a scam. Any reviews that are 5 stars are fake. On 2/28 my washing machine broke. I called AHS and was assigned a service provider in less than 24 hours. After performing a "virtual assessment." AHS said it wasn't a covered repair because the washer was overstuffed. I requested a new service provider who would come to do in person assessment. After about 2 weeks they sent Sears for a second opinion. Sears representative said that the washer just needed a new timer. Sears set up an appointment to come back with the timer and repair on 4/2. They never showed. When we (AHS and myself) tried to call, the number goes to an automated line then disconnects. AHS says that they will be on touch with SEARS and then provide me a service update.....that was 28 days ago. I have called AHS everyday since then and they "escalate" my issue to several different departments with no end in sight. When I asked about the replacement of my washer they said that they can't move forward without a report from SEARS which doesn't seem to be returning their calls or emails..

Extremely 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.

False 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.

My experience has been awesome My experience has been awesome. Requests for service are processed immediately and you hear from the servicing provider within 24 hours. This is important when the service needed impacts your daily living, I.e., heating, air, and other appliances that are needed for everyday living. 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!
