I have had this warranty for over 20 years. I had a water heater replaced. The contractor changed out the water heater twice, both heaters leaked from the T&P valve. The warranty wouldn't fix saying they wanted 435.00additional money to fix the problem with another additional expansion tank. I had my other hot water heater for 17 yrs and didn't need an additional tank and it never leaked from the T/P valve. Even the resolutions team member got frustrated with her various departments trying to get answers. It also took me over 2 hours to get the contract cancelled. I would never do business this company again.

The electrician was very professional

The electrician was very straightforward and made the visit very quick to analyze our problem with our lights. Even advised me about a light that couldnt lit the house up on fire if we didn’t get told about it.

AHS is excellent

AHS is excellent. They replaced my washer immediately when it was not able to be fixed. They also had a variety of washers to choose from. The delivery guys were polite and did an excellent job in removing my old washer and setting up my new one.

Using my American Home Shield plan was the best deal.

American home shield made the process easy. I ended up having five different companies give me bids on replacing my two heat pumps. And then using my American home shield plan gave me the best deal at the best price. I got exactly what I wanted after researching systems on consumer reports. And the nearest bid for replacing my two systems what's $4000 more than I paid using my American Home Shield plan. Great job American Home Shield. We selected Goodman variable stage systems.

Pathetic service - not at all recommended

I’m am absolutely appalled by the service provided by American Home Shield. I submitted a claim for my built-in microwave, which has served me well for almost 20 years. Recently, the handle broke, and I expected coverage for this issue, especially given the age of the appliance.

To my shock, they rejected my claim, stating that the damage was due to "mishandling." This is beyond absurd! My microwave sits above the burners, where it naturally experiences wear and tear over the years. Instead of understanding the situation, they chose to dismiss my claim without proper consideration.

Their customer service is incredibly unhelpful, and it feels like they are just looking for excuses not to honor claims. If you’re considering American Home Shield for appliance insurance, I urge you to think twice. They seem more focused on denying claims than providing actual support for their customers. Save your money and look for a company that values its customers!

American Home Shield had our A/C Repaired

American Home Shield had our A/C fixed ASAP and the only additional cost was a service charge. They had our unit fixed without quibbling or questioned the repair order. AHS simply had it done.

A customer of AHS for 5 years

A customer of AHS for 5 years. Just canceled today! The service has gotten much worse over time and the final 2 months convinced us to cancel. Much confusion and poor communication with the service techs or business. Took 4 or 5 weeks to replace our dryer with a new one. Furnace repair was a joke. Tech refused to order a new part (thermocouple) even after pilot flame failure twice in one week. Would definitely not recommend at this point. Recent ads on YouTube are complete BS. Truly.

We’re thoroughly pleased

We’re thoroughly pleased with our experience with American Home Shield—especially since this was our first time needing to use the service. To resolve our HVAC issue, we had a few video sessions with their technicians, and each one was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and committed to helping us troubleshoot the problem.

While we ultimately needed an in-person technician from Extreme Heating & Air to fully resolve the issue, the entire process with AHS was smooth and supportive from start to finish. I’m still in awe of how effective and convenient the video calls were. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m very happy we have this service.
