Does not have your back

I do not know how this company has higher rating than a 1. I have constant battles with them over finding people to repair items in my house or being reimbursed when I have to find my own way to get reimbursed. The latest is a dryer that has been of need of repair since december of 2024, it is now march of 2025. Someone came to do repairs multiple times and were unsuccessful. Because they used a large percentage to try to repair the dryer that is now deemed unrepairable, they have told me that I am allotted $37 to purchase a new one because according to them the majority of the $300 dollars that they allot for a dryer has already been used up trying to repair it. That's not even 10% of the cheapest dryer out there. So very disappointing.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

While multiple parts were replaced in an effort to fix the issue, this unfortunately exhausted the limit of liability for this claim. Sometimes, when one part is replaced, it is not uncommon to find other failures. Per the terms and conditions of your plan, we always attempt to repair an item before considering other options. Unfortunately, since the limit of liability was exhausted, the claim has been closed.

We understand how disappointing this situation is. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team at (888) 508-8886, Option 3.

ARW Home Repairs

I recently had a fantastic experience with American Residential Warranty (ARW Home) regarding home appliance repairs. Their service was outstanding from start to finish. First, they replaced a faulty capacitor, quickly restoring proper function and ensuring everything ran smoothly again. Next, they efficiently repaired a leaking pool pump, preventing further water loss and potential damage. The process was quick and professional, and the technicians were knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend ARW Home for its reliable and excellent service!

We have had this service for 15 years! and…

We have had this service for years and their customer service has plummeted to rock bottom. Our fridge was serviced by them a while ago and the tech they sent out repaired it wrong causing it to go out again! (Per the current tech) they will not replace the fridge and will only give us a forth of the price of a new one. Plus we have been without the fridge for over a week before they even were ordered parts! They said they hold no liability for the first repair!

Do not use this company!

Do not use this company!
They are scam artists! I called last year to get a plan for my home with the specific instructions that I needed the plumbing under my home covered.
So this year I have a cracked pipe and despite the fact they sold me an overpriced plan that had add ons to supposedly cover the plumbing under my home, they now say my plan doesn’t cover this!
I’m so upset and tired of these home warranty companies not covering us when they’re needed!
I just received a response and they claim I placed the order online which was just not true!
I spoke to a person directly and he was the one who lied to me!
DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!

I’d give zero stars if I could

I’d give zero stars if I could! Spent $3000 without a claim. Washing machine broke down and it took the 3 weeks and another $125 for them to tell me they wouldn’t fix it! Instead they’re sending a $350 check—the new washing machine cost twice that! AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!

48 DAYS!

Yep, that's how long it took to fix my leaking washing machine. Absolutely no amount of savings is worth the frustration caused by ARW and their repair company, Appliance Repair Medics. Parts had to be ordered and shipped twice because of a incomplete diagnosis during the first service call. It still took 2 weeks to complete the repair after the date I was told the 2nd shipment was delivered to the repair company. All of this took place from 11/20/2024 - 01/06/2025. Never again! I will be canceling my policy.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration you experienced with the repair of your washing machine. After reviewing your claim, we found that the delays were due to the need to order multiple parts. Once the initial parts were received and installed, it became clear that an additional part was necessary to complete the repairs. Unfortunately, this resulted in a longer repair time than anticipated.

AHS has been the worst service and…

AHS has been the worst service and warranty company. My air conditioner went out an early 2023. I requested a home warranty from American home shield and pay the deductible as needed for my contract. However, American home shield sent out a company that was completely sketchy with poor reviews. The technician said all we needed was an evacuator coil replacement However, no quote or diagnosis was given in person or by email after sometime. I called American home shield too receive a status update on the service of the air conditioner and I was told that the company provided a quote and diagnosis of not only they evaporated a coil but several other itemized adjustments. For example, construction, a $600 permit Modifications and such surprising to find out this information due to the contradictory quote and diagnosis the technician told us verbally American home shield was not gonna cover numerous cost up to $3000 and only covering a little over 1000. I asked for the quotes and estimates American home shows refused to review and send me the documentation. They said I needed to go through their contractor and get it the information I requested. After numerous calls to American Home Shirld and receiving nothing but the runaround and someone always need to call me back. There was no resolution I connected with the Better Business Bureau to report my experience in July 23 and American home shield stated they would provide a cash in lieu payout that I agreed to it is now December 20 24 and I have not yet received cash and the payment and I continue to get the runaround my contract with American home shield was preached due to not providing the Cash and Lou payment within 30 days and still seeking resolution for my air conditioner and now the 17 month delay this is a horrible experience and do not recommend this company to anybody if American home shield is reading my review. I hope that this is another effort to reach out to provide resolution. I am paying $50 a month for the past two years and have yet to receive the services within my contract.

Don't waste your money on this warranty

Don't waste your money.

Wall oven broke, took a week to find a technician to come take a look at it. Technician couldn't fix it, took a few days to send report back to ARW.

ARW wouldn't do anything until receiving the technicians report. Now received a week later, they are sending another technician to try and repair (again) and I have to wait another week for this technician to visit to 'hopefully' repair my broken oven. If they cant, i dont know what happens.

So whilst they mess around with admin and going through their slow processes I'm stuck without an oven and unable to cook anything at home - Its now been 2 weeks!

No timelines or urgency from ARW to get it resolved, and no solutions for us to cook in the meantime..

Also when you call and try and speak to someone to escalate a request thats impossible. Only told they can escalate internally by raising it on their system.

I'm just glad it wasn't something serious like a plumbing or gas leak.

Don't waste your money.. I would have just used the money I'd spent on this policy to go buy a new oven.. Would have been much quicker, simpler and easier.

We understand your frustration and apologize for the inconvenience caused. Our process requires receiving the technician's report before proceeding with further actions to ensure accurate and effective repairs.

Regarding your specific case, it appears that the house is currently undergoing renovation, and the damage to the oven has been assessed as intentional. Per our terms and conditions, we cannot cover damage resulting from abuse, misuse, or vandalism (Section D.12).

We regret any inconvenience this situation has caused and appreciate your understanding. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.

Real estate agent here

Real estate agent here. Bought a warranty for a client as is typical. ARW kept my card on file and recharged me again as a renewal. They were unable to find me for 45 minutes of looking, and 3 departments as they had NO information except my CC which I did not authorize to be saved. Agents should run from them.

How hard is it to find a plumber for a job?

I've been with this company maybe over 6 months after moving over from American home shield, in my opinion there's no way that a company this big should have a problem finding a plumber to do a simple install I put my claim in last week and this week they keep telling me that they can't find a plumber out of the ones that they deal with near me to take the job and it's just a simple faucet install I asked a "manager " how the process of getting a claim started and she didn't know that and I asked her if she had the list of the plumbers that they deal with in my area she didn't have that information either so I'm dropping them very fast I'm not dealing with them anymore I'm going to go with a different company because these people cannot do their jobs competently and if they are a reputable company no plumber would have a problem doing business with them so maybe they don't have a good reputation and no plumber wants to work with them so never again ARW never again

All they do is take your money and say they don't cover anything

I get that they are a business and want to make money. I have had them for years and every time I call they don't cover anything or I have to pay more than they do to the contractors. I pay every month for their highest plan. You are better off going with one of the bigger companies or directly with contractors.

Last year I had to come out of pocket for a garage door system. Now they only cover 700 on our AC and don't cover the coil.

All they do is take your money!

I ordered the home warranty from this company two weeks ago. After giving them my credit card and they charged me immediately I happen to look at the contract they sent me and I immediately realized that the person I ordered the home warranty from totally lied to me within 24 hours, I told them to credit my account which they said I had 30 days to decide if I wanted or not with a total refund it’s been over two weeks. They haven’t refunded my money and every time I call them which takes a long time to get through they try talking me into keeping it. This company is the worst to deal with and I went do business with them even if it was free. I am now disputing it on my credit card.
