RE:AHS Home Protection Plan No. 679039758;
Dear Sir or Madam:
American Home Shield Corporation ("AHS") is in receipt of your letter advising of the above referenced complaint. Your letter has been forwarded to me for review and response.
On July 25, 2025, Ms. Macy submitted a service request for air conditioning, and AHS assigned DMC DI Dolce Mechanical Contractors to address the issue. Following a recall initiated on August 4, 2025, DMC DI Dolce Mechanical Contractors returned for a subsequent assessment. Their diagnosis indicated that excessive condensation was present on the main supply line due to lack of insulation and noted that access would be required to inspect the ductwork. Based on Section 7d of the plan, which excludes coverage for access, as well as Section 7k regarding missing parts, AHS denied the claim.
On September 3, 2025, Ms. Macy asserted that insulation was not a requirement at the time the residence was constructed and requested a second opinion. Consequently, AHS dispatched Cool Temp; however, on September 8, 2025, Cool Temp declined the assignment, citing that they do not service ductwork. While AHS attempted to transfer the service request, no alternative contractor was available to provide a second opinion. The claim was escalated to a supervisor as Ms. Macy continued to contest the initial diagnosis. As no suitable contractor could be found, the request for a second opinion was ultimately cancelled. Per Section 9g of the plan, an alternative service contractor will be provided for a second opinion if one is reasonably available.
Should Ms. Macy grant access to DMC DI Dolce Mechanical Contractors for further evaluation, AHS is prepared to dispatch them for another visit. In recognition of the inconvenience experienced, AHS will reimburse Ms. Macy's service fee of $133.29, which will be credited to her original method of payment within approximately 10–14 business days.
Sincerely,
American Home Shield Corporation
