I had a pretty bad experience with American Home Shield to say the least. I am not sure which is worse; AHS or there "contractors".
Basically I had an AC inside unit go out and needless to say the total that I would've had to come out of pocket roughly $1800 because of "non-covered items (I.e- refrigerant, brackets for ac to sit on, basically everything the is not the air handler)" was just about the cost of an entire unit from a non-certified contractor, or as we know it, the free market bidding/best value.. So with the nearly the same cost I chose the "buy out" option which essentially give me money for what the parts would cost($900) and I had an outside company to do it. And just as a note, in order to get the money you have to harass the hell out of them to get a check.
As you would probably expect, I did not renew and feel as though it was a great call thus far.

So you got $900 towards the repair and you're complaining? You're just the person I was talking about in my other post.
