I have discovered how aggrieved homeowners can turn the tables on home warranty companies and beat them at their own game. Please share this with everyone you know. I’m an attorney and after having a problem with my home warranty company, American Home Shield, I...

But just know... do not tell anyone your gonna do it yourself because the EPA and states have codes that require anyone that handles the old stuff with a Section 8 refrigerant cert.
They have anonymous complain reporting for any you suspect of doing any kind of work with refrigerant not being qualified. Not making that up... read it for yourself on the EPAs site. Research goes a long way.
If it's not the old stuff R-22 I think your good. But look it up...

American Home Shield - Didn't recieve the service I need
I placed service request on 5/29 and made sure to tell the customer services that the unit i have is old fashion and need specialized technician but they assured me all their technicians and contractors are well trained and they will be able to fix it. First contractor checked the appliance diagnosed the issue and next day the request was transferred to another contractor to fix it. But they apologized for not being able to fix it. I've been tying to contact American Home Shield for 2 days and no one of the customer services is picking up the phone. The website doesn't give you the option to email customer services or anyone else. The issue is still one and they already charged me for the service request fee $100.

This all started with an inquiry for coverage about a inop garage door, to find out the only way to verify if it was covered is to pay the service fee and have a repair company check it. Of course not covered, paid a service fee and labor to the repair company. When...

American Home Shield - Plumbing not repaired.
Leak under home. Plumbers came out checked and said there was a leak at a tee. Said they could not repair it without first installing a pressure restrictor. They said it was a law. Contacted AHS to complain. I was told they would investigate and call me back. Its been a month and I still have not received a call. Meanwhile my neighbor checked the tee. He said it was not leaking. So whats going on here. Meanwhile while Im out $100.00. What a rip-off.

Verified ReviewerAmerican Home Shield - Worst experience ever
I have been going through American Home Shield to get my heat pump fixed. Its has now been three weeks. First they ordered the wrong compressor and now its been over a week and still nothing has been ordered and told the parts are still probably three more weeks out and thats when they get around to ordering the. Asked for a cash in offer to replace myself. The offer given wouldnt even come close to getting the parts. Have been trying to get ahold of the parts department and have been told someone would call me back the same day. Going on day three contacting them. Have been a hold for 40 minutes only to be disconnected. Now on hold again.
User's recommendation: wouldnt.

Verified ReviewerAmerican Home Shield - Problems getting the right contractor
I have completed the application online, called 4+ times, and still cannot get the right contractor to fix my septic system. I have been on hold for over an hour, on one call, and have been hung up on every time I have called. My septic system is overflowing and will enter the tub, shower, and all over the back yard. FYI I have already had the $75 co-pay pulled from my bank account.
