American Home Shield Home Warranty Plan Review

AHS has been fine for us.  We've never been denied coverage.  The contract terms limit coverage for some things (like, they won't put sheetrock back to finish condition, and they don't cover icemakers), but I think every year we've come out about even with the $ we've paid in, one way or another.  They are kind of like the HMO of home repair service, in that you have to use their network of tech's and wait for them to come out - and sometimes it's 1-3 days before they can get to you.  But we've actually used both the plumber and HVAC tech's AHS sent, to do other work for us, and we like them just fine.  I think on websites like this, often most complaints are negative because only those who are unhappy take the time to write something.  So I thought I would post an objective, positive review myself.  Look, you get what you pay for.  AHS is a good, relatively inexpensive way to have some peace of mind for the major systems and appliances in your home.  If you don't like it - pay for the repairs yourself.
