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..

False advertising and promises from AHS! I read pretty good reviews with AHS and left my old home warranty company as they were not very helpful with previous claims to sign up with AHS. I signed up with AHS in early March. This year, it has been pretty cool and cold until now in April when it is getting warmer. I turned my A/C on recently and discovered that it was not throwing cold air. Their A/C repair guy came to check unit and said it was secondary to leak of condenser coil and called it a "pre-existent condition." How can it be pre-existent if it did not start working until now. AHS did not want to put their part even though the contract clearly says it covers corrosion and condenser leakages. They are complete scam artists! I will be cancelling now and looking for a more honest company. Thanks for nothing AHS!

AHS CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AS EFFECTIVE AS A MERRY-GO-ROUND What went wrong is that AHS makes it impossible to get through to someone within the company who can make/override decisions of the customer service reps in the Philippines. I thought it was a law that if I were to ask to be transferred to someone stateside who was fluent in English that the out of country employees would have to do so; however, they tell me they have no way of connecting me to anyone stateside. They do give me a telephone number for their HQ in Tennessee, but that's a waste of time because you cannot get a live person on the telephone. It's all robotics. So, if you have an issue to resolve, you might as well throw it to the wind. You'll get the same result doing that. I'm going to search for another home warranty company. I'll make certain I can reach a live person in their stateside office before I sign up. If that doesn't work, I'll just put my premiums aside each month and self-insure.

Worth 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.

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.
