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...

I have contacted an arbitration law firm, they are handling my claim against American home shield now, I have to get a new ac installed as well as roof repair due to the leaky rusted ac unit, I had to take out a loan for the whole unit. The process just started, I am hopeful.

Heating Tune Issue

1.0
Very bad experience with Heating Tune up service with AHS. My heater was working fine without any issue. I opted for Heating tune as a regular checkup. With this request, technician visited and checked something. After that heater stopped working. No update either from technician or AHS for 1 week. I have called AHS and reported about it. They apologized and promised to address the concern. Again there was no update for another 1 week. And i called AHS to check SR status and found that SR is closed without any reason. We are living without heater for no reason. Still waiting for the fix.

User's recommendation: I do not recommend this company.

AHS has poor service

1.0
AHS has very poor service. MY contrac# 645**** My central Air and heating went down over three months ago, American home shield finally send technician with inside unit to replace with the old one, but brand-new unit did not have Auxiliary heat kit. As a result, we are not able to turn the heater on, my home is cold, and we have no hitter. And both of us got cold and got sick and have no idea when and how I can get the missing hit kit back to my inside unit, so I can turn the heater on. Every time I call, the staff from Philippine give me nonsense answer. AHS did not care and did not provide me any help at all, also so far for only this missing part I got charged $2052.00-

User's recommendation: stay away from AHS.

Unqualified personnel cost my a lot of money

American Home Shield - Unqualified personnel cost my a lot of money
American Home Shield - Unqualified personnel cost my a lot of money
I had problems with my gas room heater, I had told Nw Sundance Services that other companies had turned me down because of the age and brand of the heater. They assured me that their man was qualified but when he came out he had never seen this type of unit, he sent a service order to my insurance company stating that my fireplace was not working. Now my homeowners warranty will not cover a fireplace repair, but my issue is a room heater not a fireplace. So now I asked the company to resend a new work order because their technician screwed up, but they told me its closed because it was already sent. They will not correct there mistake and its costing me a lot of money.

User's recommendation: Use a different company.

Satisfaction

Thanks for the help. Laura Ojeda from AHS in Arizona has made contact with me. She has taken the time to listen and understand my frustrations and has worked diligently to make strides to make some concessions.

Because it sucks

Filed 3 warranty claims. AHS hasn't fixed a single one. They will 100% deny your claim, regardless of whether it is valid.

User's recommendation: Hahahahahahahahaha never, I would rather burn cash.

No contract sent

3.0
I joined American Home Shield back in July,with first payment to come out in August. I requested a copy of my contract from them, and they said they would send it out. Well it's November now, and I have called numerous times and still no contact. If they can't do something simple like send me a copy of my contract,how can I trust them to get something fixed when I need it???

User's recommendation: Haven't had a chance to use them yet. There people who answer the phones,which I believe is based in the Philippines are unreliable.
