Ahs insurance home warranty.

Sub: escalation of issue.
Reference: work order no.[protected].
Reason for escalation: unable to get the service.
History of the case:

5/18 — while operating cook top under a very normal circumstance, there was a big blast and the cook top developed multiple cracks.

5/18 — reported the issue to american home shield.
5/23 — technician came for inspection and charged us $50, acknowledged what we described and went.
5/23 to 6/23 — many calls were made to ahs and there was even a remark that order has been placed with the manufacturer and that it would take 10 days etc. one full month of the customer calling ahs receiving varying responses.

6/24 — another technician came for inspection.
6/26 — we were informed that the damage was "impact" related and that our protection was only against normal wear and tear and did not include impact related damages.

We have been talking to a number of representatives and finally escalated it to a supervisor, feda.
I tried my best to understand what the term "impact" means, for which I did not get any satisfactory response. the supervisor became more skeptical, requested for recording the conversation which is a good thing and asked me two write to a po box.

There was no convincing answer given when asked why it has taken more than 1 month to tell us that this work order will not be honored.

my contract fee was doubled , when i tried to cancel they used an expired credit card to continue to charge me. also charged me to end contract 117.08 , no indication in contract a fee will be charged. 6 visits to resolve a an issue with washing machine . this was the last straw.

On 10/19 I signed up for AHS. I was told my new home would not be covered until 11/19. I asked to review my contract and was told I couldn't read my contract until the coverage started! This is BS. I agreed to the contract on 10/19 and demand I have access to read my specific contract prior to being obligated to it.

I have had horrible customer service with this company. I opened a service request over 2 months ago, and still no response from them. Yo cannot speak to anyone because they disconnect your call. This is the worst hpme warranty company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Someone needs to do something.

I am trying to cancel my contract. I've had to call 3 times, no one will call me back, I wait on hold forever only to be transferred to someone else and have to repeat everything all over again. No other service I've ever subscribed to has ever been this difficult to work with or cancel.

Prices go up every year. I cancelled my warranty and they charge me for the month I already paid. Stay away. If your air breaks on the weekend forget about service until the next working week.

This scam artist of a plumber, goes to homes, does not work, claims the issues are not covered, collects his fee and moves on to his next AHS victim. He needs to be removed from the AHS contractor list. He isnt even registered with the better business bureau.

We pay a monthly contract for home warranty. we placed and paid for a service request for our gas furnace to be fixed. Now they want us to use an outside company because they have no contractors who will work with them in our area. They won't refund money for service request or find someone to fix to fix the furnace.

I recommended a friend to AHS last week. They told me they were offered an AARP discount.

I was never offered this discount when I signed up in June 2022.

I would like to have that discount applied to my account now.

My contract # [protected].

AHS is not responsive. AHS do not care about their customer's satisfaction. I live in Texas with weather around 100 degrees and AHS just do not care.

I am not sure how AHS remains in business. I am elevating this complaint to the BBB.

I was told my customer service that I was authorized to call a repair specialist and repair or replace my air conditioner. I sent the bill in to AHS and was informed September 4 that a check had been issued. when I called 09/19 was told no check exists. I will complain to Texas Department of insurance and BBB.

American Home Shield is the worst company I have ever dealt with and I am 55 years old. Do not give them one dime of your money. Search elsewhere for a home warranty company! I have so many complaints about them. It would take 50 pages to tell you everything about them. DO NOT USE THEM!

The problem was not the service the problem is that I'm getting a payment due letter of which I paid when service was done. My check has cleared so you need to talk to the company that did the job.

I have five rental properties covered by AHS. Every time I call the main number, it takes 25-40 minutes to speak with an agent. This is unexceptable.

AHS did not renew my contract and when I inquired about renewing it, they want to charge me double the fee I was paying last year(for the same coverage) and make me wait a one month waiting period before I am covered. Basically a month paid for no coverage. I feel that this is dishonest.

To much to email, I have service records and proof of fraud from your contractor, I need a return call today from someone that is in a position to fix an issue. I have had it with this run around and about to go to the BBB. Jason Williams [protected]

Talked to 2 AHS CSR 's Alvin & Jan; Alvin didn't listen/understand what I told him & lied to me about what Brandon at Air Control Experts told him on the phone. When he lied & told me my Air Duct work was not covered due of lack of capacity, I had already explained to him the 1st Techs from American looked at wrong A/C & reported capacity issue.

I had the same thing happen and I have not had my service resolved since July 2018. My daughter was throwing up because of the heat and my animals were panting. They keep closing my claims and not sending any contractors
