Each service visit is $75.  In July  2014, I 2 guests, staying in the guestroom.  When we turned on the thermostat, the living room was cooled.  When we turned on the thermostat in the living room, it too was cooled.  No cooling was present in the guest room.  I realized that the previous serviceman sent by the now defunct Colonial Home Warranty mis-wired the damper control.  AHS refused to send a company working on the damper control, but insisted on sending a company which does not do such work. I was charged $75 for a service call.  This company recommended another company which does damper control work.  The second company came and fixed the wiring problem in 5 minutes, charging me another $75 service fee.  Their regular service call, without home warranty is $85.   

If you  need a/c work, beware that AHS pays only $10 per lb of Freon, while most AC repair companies charge around $50/lb.

Last spring, my dishwasher would not let water in.  The repairman came for 5 minutes and declared that the water shut off switch was slightly sticky.  The deductible was again $75.


I spent a lot of time checking up on various  Home Warranty companies and have not been able to come up with a good company.  I have decided to go without Home Warranty after 2 top ac repair companies assure me that my HVAC will not be out of order in the next couple of years, if I do proper maintenance.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Most spiders are harmless and are more interested in finding and eating insects than trying to bite you or your family members. Certain spiders in your home may be advantageous if you have an issue with insects. Most spiders are non-venomous and have small mouths, so even if they did bite you, it wouldn’t be enough to cause any harm.

However, some species of spiders can cause harm if you are a victim of their spider bite, including the black widow and brown recluse varieties. Both species’ venom is poisonous, and you should seek medical help if bitten.

It’s possible that skunks will leave on their own. Skunks may appear briefly on your property and move on if they cannot find food. However, waiting them out is not a foolproof solution. If the skunk finds a food source on or near your property and builds a nest, the animal will almost certainly not choose to move. If you can eliminate food sources, you’ll have a better chance of seeing the skunk leave on its own.

Yes, it’s safe to sleep in a house with termites. They don’t bite or spread disease and they aren’t likely to crawl on you or invade your personal space. However, termites can cause serious structural damage over time, which may compromise your home’s safety if left untreated. If you suspect an infestation, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection and treatment to prevent long-term risks to your property (not to mention your peace of mind).

You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don’t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.

Yes, it is generally safe to return to your house once the pest control professionals have granted permission. Keep in mind that you’ll only need to evacuate your home during extreme pest control treatments, such as whole-home fumigation, while more minor treatments don’t require leaving. When you return home, be sure to follow the pest pro’s instructions carefully, especially those surrounding wait times and safety precautions.
