Not worth the money. I will not renew. Survey would not accept less than 3 stars. They definitely don't deserve more than one star. Total ripoff.

All feedback is important to us and we appreciate the time you took to tell us about your experience. We strive to provide excellent services for our customers and regret the experience that you've had.
My air conditioning went out on a Sat evening. The contractor they scheduled me with could not come out until that following Tues. The contractor who came out informed me that he could fix one of the systems but the other one he had to call back to Am. Home Shield to get approval for the part & payment, which we did not get a call until the next day. He informed us that this process (the warranty company requires) could take an avg of 2-5 days. We are living in 106+ degree weather here in AZ & for us to pay a monthly charge for a home warranty, then wait almost a week to get our air conditioner running is unacceptable!!! If I just paid cash we could get it taken care of the same day!... Read More

Thanks for the great feedback Jaime!
Is it possible to leave less than half a star?? AHS deserves -5 stars for their terrible service. My fiance explained it best in his recent review below. ----------------------------------- AHS should change the S in their name to American Home Scam. Never in my wildest dreams of hell itself could I have imagined the the Nigerian Prince from all of our collective e-mail spam boxes be made manifest into an actual company whose sole purpose is to scam peoples hard earned dollars away from them. This is not a company whom is out to help those who pay for their services. This “company” is a telephone line straight to the lowest of humanity who do nothing but waste your time and bill you for... Read More

We have been with ahs for several years and used their services and was satisfied with the service. My bigest complaint is that the times i have used your services, i have had to wait i think over 45 minutes before a real person came on line to hear my needs. Very very poor service. I wouldn't expect y ou to respond to my comments. Robert l. Hotton

The service provided from the technical point of view is fine.
Repairs and fixing works OK
Times are a little longer to get a technician at your place (2 weeks average?)
They have a HUGE work to do on Customer care: Your average waiting time is 45 minutes in the phone
They do not have an online system or email or a chat: All is have phone calls

I signed up with this company last Nov. '16 due to the fact that the company I had been with First American for over 16yrs, began to not care much about its customers. Well, I am now finding that AHS cares even less, if that's possible!!! I put in a service request for Central Air conditioner over a week ago, and when I found that the one and only technician Global HVAC had could not come out to me house for a week, I tried to contact AHS to maybe find another vendor that could get here sooner, I was on hold for 1hr. 15min. when I gave up. I contacted Global HVAC the morning of my appt. and was told that their one and only technician for my area had "car trouble" and all his appts.... Read More

My central AC went out of service in May 2017. According to their contract the service provider must call back within 48 hours. When first contact is made, my appointment was set for 4 days later, six days after my original request during a entire week of over 100 degrees . The technician performed a routine maintenance for which I paid additional. Only a couple of days later, no AC. A few days later the tech returned to tell me I need a new fan. American Home Shield needed to first approve the order, then he could order the fan. 10 days later he returned and installed. All this during another week of 100 degrees. About 2 weeks later, no AC. 2 days later a different service provider... Read More

The vendors AHS sent to my house were unskilled in their trade. They would put a "bandaid" on an issue and a few months later the same problem would arise. One example is an air conditioner unit that was leaking. The company would clime out and stop the leak but the problem would come back again a few months later. I would request service again and the same thing occured. Finally I called out an ac company not connected to AHS. The company said I would neeed a new unit because the leake had gone on too long and resulted in rust. I will also have to replace the flooring underneath the ac unit because so much water leaked over the two years .

Hello Erin, If you can send us your information to social@ahslink.com, attention "Consumers Advocate", we will follow up with you regarding this issue. Thanks
I filed a claim on my wash machine back in June, it was fixed, but it broke again in August. I filed another claim, but did not get a call to schedule an appointment. I refiled a claim for the wash machine and a second claim for my dish washer, which also broke in August. I received a call on the wash machine only from Whirlpool, who is subcontracting the work out to a local company who's first appointment wasn't until Sept. 26th. Whirlpool did not book the appointment or reserve it and when I called the local company Whirlpool referred to, I got a message that they are not taking any new appointments until after October 1st. When I went onto the American Home Shield site today to see... Read More
