Advice for Homeowners: Don't Use American Home Shield

Per leftist logic if your home is insured I can burn it to the ground.

So my advice is for folk here to claim their homes are not. It is safer that way 👆

Update: a rep from AHS called me today (while I was in the middle of filing a complaint with the BBB about them lol) to ask me why I was cancelling my warranty with them.

When I told her about the phone call yesterday with another rep who told me that I was not entitled to a refund for the nonservice regarding my shower problem she apologized and told me that a refund would be issued within 5-7 business days.

She gave me her word that it would be so I decided to give them another chance and go ahead and keep the service for now. Hope she doesn't turn out to be a liar (she gave me no indication she was a democrat so I'm hopeful lol). She sounded like a sweet Hispanic woman and seemed to have a cold (was sniffing a lot; hopefully it's not covid).

Insurances should all be required to be non-profits or consumer-co-ops. That would solve some of these problems.

Smart idea.

Are you a US Citizen?

Retention department strikes again to actually deliver the product, service, or value that they should have done to begin with.

They are hoping you don't go that far so they can keep their money. It is Financial GRC and they literally form policies around the Risk part of that to save money (they are a business: they exist to maximize revenue and profit).

Congrats on the good outcome. I bet you're quite happy.

Yeah, to an extent I am. It still sucks that my shower is broken though. It's been way too long since I've had a real shower... *sigh*

They're only refunding your $125.00 because they're thinking long term and want to keep that monthly payment coming. They will screw you right in the ass the second it suits them.

Yeah, I suspect they will eventually which is why I'm thinking of cancelling my warranty sometime in the spring.

I would cancel it as soon as next month if not for the fact that cold weather will soon be here and my central heating has a tendency to start messing up during the coldest months just as my central AC tends to always go bad in the hottest months (which is far worse than heating going bad in winter seeing as how I live in the deep south).

I have a fireplace which I've never actually used. It would be a good backup plan and I've been wanting to try it out anyway. Have to find a place that will deliver some firewood or coal though and don't have any idea how much that would cost.

FFS, don't burn coal in your fireplace.

Far higher number of poisons released than wood, which you could inhale and coal burns much hotter than most woods, so you could damage your fireplace and/or chimney which is likely not built for coal burning.

It'll come down to whichever one is cheaper, Rob. When I was a small child my grandmother use to burn coal a lot in her fireplace and I never got sick from it.

And her fireplace was probably designed to burn coal. I would check to make sure your fireplace is spec'd out for coal before even considering it.

But you're also going to be pumping out a whole lot more carbon monoxide with coal, which is poisonous and kills brain cells like crazy.

Ok, I'll do some research into the pros and cons of burning firewood vs the pros and cons of burning coal before deciding.

Ultimately though, even if it turns out to be true that going with firewood is better than coal, if the price difference is huge then I will go with what is more affordable. I'm not rich, after all.

But yeah, I'll find out if my fireplace is built for burning coal. I just always assumed it could burn either coal or firewood.

I do have a a little bit of a source of wood like trees, sticks, and other fireburning material in my backyard which I might be able to use but that won't last long and I'm not crazy about the idea of chopping one of my big trees down.

I suppose the really small ones would be alright though.

Even though you're a deplorable Trumper, as is every Trumper, as a true Liberal I wouldn't want you to burn your house down and/or poison yourself, so please do some research on your fire place before you choose to burn coal.

I'm glad we can all get along, despite Robtard being an insane Leftie.

Ya, I'm totally sure you have my best interests at heart, Robbie. 😆

You should speak to Broly about alternatives for your heating. I think his experience is more about the opposite in keeping his house cool with as little energy as possible. He's a knowledgeable guy when it comes to energy conservation etc. He might be able to give you some ideas

Coal burning can make living uncomfortable in a home.
