Wow.... The reviews are terrible for AHS. Now I know firsthand.... So disappointed. Been waiting 6 days for them to find an electrician. The contractors don't want the job becsuse they say AHS hasn't paid them for previous orders. I'm so disappointed in them.
just got off phone with active appliance witch they were to call me yesterday to set up time for call back and she just told me I had t call you back that's not right they lied to me this sucks
please never use these guys ive road it out for 4 years
still on hold 25 min. also called active appliances on hold for 15 min to fix something they didn't fix the first time
worst company and subs I have ever delt with 30 min on hold every time weeks lead time and they always have to come back. with no priority on call backs no return phone calls im done!!!
I have had AHS for more than 5 years and I am pleased with the service that I have received. I make monthly payments by automatic draft. When I checked my account this morning, I noticed that two payments had been drafted for AHS. When I called them, I was given various inconsequential reasons, but the bottom line is I was told that the extra payment would be refunded within five days! After voicing my extreme dissatisfaction, I was told that she (the representative) would “email” the payment department my disagreement. When I asked for the number to the “payment department” I was told that she could not give out the number. Of course, I was completely put off by this time... Read More
The customer service is awful! I recently had to request service on two different occasions. The 1st one was fairly painless as I could set it up on-line however the 2nd one has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I once again tried to set it up on-line however when I submitted I received a message instructing me to call, so I called. I was on hold to speak with someone for just under an hour, but the hold recording assured me my call was important... um after 30 minutes I stopped believing it was. Call was set and unfortunately he problem was not one they could solve. So I called AHS back, wait time the time was at least under 20 minutes, to see if I would be... Read More
I would not go with this company. I had an plumber claim he did lots of work at my house, which they did not but AHS rep said if the plumber said they did the work, then they did the work and they wanted to charge me extra. They were extremely rude about it. Also if you need to call them for any reason, the wait time could be over an hour long, last time I called them, I was on hold for 1 hr and 10 min.
Don't waste your money. They are total Rip Offs...…...Came out to fix my oven, waited 2 weeks for a part they said it needed and when the service man came out he didn't even put the new part in. He said well its working right now. Yeah right now. Called the office and they said oh really he did that. Customer service is the worst and the people they get are not any better. # 1 company yeah for Rip Off companies they are. I would not recommend them to anyone.
I have had a policy with them twice. I cancelled the last time as they sent different contractors to fix a recurring AC issue. The first one brought a replacement fan for the outside unit with a shaft that was too long. I had to provide my sawsall and help him cut it down. The next time they were going to send a different person from a farther away area and he was mostly interested in the $100 fee and talked to me like I was a neophyte. I told him to forget it and cancelled my policy (however that took forever as I believe they only hire idiots at their call center). A previous example was when I prepaid the $100 on the internet to have my garage doors fixed. The contractor showed up and... Read More
