2-10 has always given us good customer service. To submit our claim, we just called and submitted it. They told to expect the contractor in 24 to 48 hours. But once they decided that we needed a new refrigerator, it took three weeks for somebody to contact us. Other than that, our experience has been fine.

A couple of weeks ago, we re-upped with 2-10 for the second year and one of the reasons we did was that they were easy to get to. It wasn't a hassle and you weren't on hold for an hour and a half. And they didn't screw around. When we were throwing a party for my kid the next day, I asked 2-10 to send someone quickly and they did. A week after we got the house, the refrigerator was leaking and they replaced it. I showed the contractor a couple of things, but he didn't really dig into it. He just said that it was pretty much shot and that they'd get us a new one.
We have also gotten a new furnace out of 2-10. We didn't have to fight them to get it, either. They didn't give any grief. They said they covered us and that it was part of the contract. Moreover, the heater guy was awesome and I really like him. He knew his stuff and pointed out a couple of reasons I should have been concerned about before that a normal person like me didn't know about. Now, I feel a lot more at ease plus the furnace works better and is more efficient. I am 100% satisfied.

I've had good luck with my experience with 2-10. I called them for our gas-electric heating system and the service was quick. The contractors were on time and they did their diagnosis on it. But it took three or four days to get the part and it was cold. The part could have been acquired faster which would have helped me through the cold weather but I don't blame that on anybody. Once they got the part, everything worked well. The contractors were very good and they were very easy to work with.

The claim for the air condition was all right for the most part. The contractors didn’t diagnose the issue right off the bat, so they had to come out three times to get it right. They said one thing in the beginning, but it came out to be something else in the end, so I was trying to figure out what was going on. It got resolved, but 2-10 should test out their contractors before they send them out.

Our heat went out and I called 2-10. Submitting the claim was easy and they were able to go ahead and get the confirmation number all in the same day and have the company call back. 2-10 was very nice and compliant, and worked with my husband. It was the company that was supposed to come out and fix things, that wasn’t on top of it. It took someone close to a month before they were able to get to us.
I understand if you can't come out within that week but not close to a month that we're sitting there in the cold. The weather dropped and that weekend, it got low to the point where our home was 40 degrees cold. We don't have a fireplace or things like that that can help provide more heating for us. Also, I am pregnant so that was not good. They continued to say there was nothing that they could do about it and I told my husband I would prefer not to go with that company ever again if our heating goes out because those were not good conditions for me and I got sick. 2-10 was apologetic on what was going on so, it was a bonus that it was not on their end.

When I bought the house, 2-10 was transferred over to me. I got a new stove, and a new microwave in the last year through 2-10. I call to submit my claims and 2-10's claims reps are great. I had one bad experience with my air conditioning where they sent the claim out to somebody. And they kinda didn't communicate with the people to let me know that they weren’t coming. So, when I called them, they gave me a bunch of excuses. But when I called 2-10, they gave it to somebody else who came right out. I renewed my 2-10 warranty because that’s the greatest thing. As a matter of fact, I just had my garbage disposal replaced and I had an electrical problem that they fixed.

My water heater was leaking water all over the floor and the water didn't get hot. I found myself trying to work on it to fix it so it wouldn't keep leaking all over the floor but that didn't help. Then, I submitted a service request over the phone with 2-10 and the reps I spoke with were very good and very helpful. The contractor they sent out was good as well. He had to replace the whole hot water heater and the service didn't take that long. Other than that, the service was really quick plus I didn't have to go through a whole bunch of people and different operators just to get one issue fixed.

The motor that runs everything in our LG refrigerator went out prior to Veteran's Day. I was freaking out because the contractor came out and told me what was going on with it, and that it probably would not be repaired for about 10 days. So, I called 2-10 and asked them what they could do and if there was any way that they could speed anything up. They went above and beyond to follow up with the appliance company to see if there was anything that could be done to speed everything up. 2-10 tried their best to accommodate me and to just make it happen in a faster way. Everybody jumped through hoops for me.
Because it is an LG, it is a little more challenging to get the parts too, but they did everything that they could possibly do to get the part in and get the refrigerator fixed within a few days. I have told people that I am very happy with this warranty company. Expectations were low based upon what I was originally told, but then they all went above and beyond.

The heat in our house was not working and I called 2-10. They were able to send somebody out that day. The contractor first thought it might be the thing that controls the AC. So, he switched that and it turned out that there was a reversing valve in the heat pump that was not working correctly after he was trying it with the Freon. So, it had to be replaced and now, it works great. The technician was awesome and he was a very nice guy. He wasn't trying to take advantage of the fact that he was working or doing business for a home warranty company. He was doing everything necessary, was very professional and did a good job.

I had 2-10 Home Buyers for a year and a half. The representatives I spoke with were informative, got the job done and fulfilled everything that they said they were gonna do. After submitting the claim, usually, we get an email right away, and a phone call within 24 hours. The contractors were awesome and my heating claim was fantastic.

When I had a drain problem, I had to call 2-10 that day because it was urgent. But, normally, I would submit my claims online. It was an out-of-network claim, so I had to call some other company to come do it because the one that they were going to send was going to be at least 24-hour wait. The rep I dealt with was good, but that call took forever. I was on the phone with them trying to get them to okay the plumber to work for about 45 minutes. It was a 15-minute wait and then a 30-minute process to get them to okay the out-of-network coverage.

I turned a claim in first week of November. Jefferson plumbing came out it then took 2 weeks to get approval and another month to get on their schedule. I took off and called several times the day they were to arrive and assured they would be there. Only to get a call at the end of the day saying they couldn’t make it. They would be there first thing in the morning. I took off today and they are a no show. When I called they stated they had and emergency in Madisonville 2.5 hours away. I have called 2-10 several times to complain and nothing except, "We are sorry sir but if we switch contractors everything will have to start over." WARRANTY SOUNDS GREAT BUT ONLY AS GOOD As THEIR CONTRACTORS AND THEY ARE FLY BY NIGHT AT BEST!!!

The furnace went out on a cold weekend and 2-10's provider didn’t work weekends. It was too cold to wait until Monday to contact somebody and I had to call an out-of-network company to get the work done. I spent a total of about three hours on the phone trying to get that straight. The first time I called, the representative didn’t tell me or didn’t know that the provider didn’t work on the weekend. Also, I spent an awful lot of time dealing with getting approval and finding out how to deal with an out-of-network provider. Then, after it was done, it was about a $600 bill and 2-10 was gonna authorize $130 of it, which seemed out of line to me. Finally, after much discussion, they covered half of it. For something like heating, 2-10 ought to have a provider that works on the weekends and has, at least, an emergency number for weekends. Also, I should have been able to take care of the whole thing a half hour or so on the phone, not two and a half hours.

It took 2-10 over a month to get the part for our air conditioning because they ordered it incorrectly twice. By the time the Gemaire Store had the order, they had gotten rid of the part so 2-10 had to get the part from the manufacturer. The part was installed, but during that delay, there became an issue on the outside compressor which has to be resolved and I’m waiting for somebody to call us back regarding that.
We have a kid that’s supposed to be sleeping upstairs but he can’t because it’s wintertime. And all the problem does is create more issues- the pipes freeze and many other problems. It's like they are trying to get the cheapest option and there doesn’t appear to be much of an urgency. I would like for my claim to be completed. I feel like I have to call the contractor for follow up. 2-10 is not providing me much information and I’m in the dark on where I'm at with the completion of the claim. And every time I call, they have not been helpful. It appears that they are just trying to get you off the phone. Other than that, I’m happy with what 2-10 offers. And I’m not displeased enough to start shopping around.

I'm a widow on a fixed income, and house repairs are so expensive so I got a warranty. I do my claims on the phone most of the time, and the reps have been very pleasant. They've never told me no or that things aren't covered. They've been really quick to get the service people on the line to have them contact me to set up a time. And the times that I've had the contractor out have been perfect. This last one was BLT. I was at work both times that they came out. But my son had no problem with them and even my dogs liked them.
They came on one of the worst snow days that we had. They were here when they said they were gonna be here. In fact, I didn't even expect them to come because of the amount of snow that we had gotten. But they were here. They got things going the minute they got here. They took their lunch, came back and finished the product up. They contacted me and said everything was done. I didn't have any problems and the furnace works well.

We moved into the house in February of this year and my real estate agent recommended 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. I submitted a service request online and it had been a very long process getting things fixed. They sent someone out and they were able to turn the heating back on, but then it just set itself off after a couple of hours. So, we had people come back a couple of times and all they would do was just turn it back on and then leave and then it would do the same thing. We had one guy come, finally said that it needed a part and then they needed to order it. The claim was closed out and the part was actually never ordered. I called 2-10, had them reopen the case and send somebody again. That person said again it needed a part and then, it went back and forth on who was supposed to order the part, whether it was the company or 2-10.
I got a call from the repair company last Thursday saying that they were supposed to have the part in Friday afternoon and then they would call me when the part came in. I still haven't heard anything from them or 2-10. So, I’m not sure what's going on with that, but the heating still doesn’t work. 2-10 said they could send out someone from another company but I was concerned that that would just extend things even more, wait for somebody else, especially it was that close to the weekend. Nobody ever comes on a weekend.
And so, I had asked them to just reach out one more time to the current company, and then I did hear back from them later that day that they had ordered the part. So, I guess at this point, just crossing my fingers we could finally get it done rather than starting the whole process over again. 2-10 should have the insistence that they actually do a further review rather than just turning it on and then it shut back off on us. It was frustrating. And then they just shut the whole requisition down, closed it without confirming with us if it was actually fixed or not.

It was easy to submit claims. For the heating claim, it took a day for them to send someone out. The contractor was very good. They determined it was the compressor and they were supposed to replace it. 2-10 had determined based off of cost that they needed to replace the whole unit. So, I was without heat for two weeks. Even when they replaced the compressor, there was a damper that was a problem. The weather in Virginia happened to be right when we had a cold spell. Imagine not having a heat for two and a half weeks and nobody cares. 2-10 was terrible. They were not responsive at all, just didn’t get on top of it. Every time we called, there was no sense of urgency. They were not trying to help. They were making excuses as to why it happened, and that was how I felt the entire process. The provider told me 2-10 was better than anybody. Still, I would never renew with 2-10 ever, not a chance. Stay away from them.

Everything went well in my recent claim with the water heater. There were no problems initially after it was completed but then we found out about a leak in the sink. I didn’t know if that came with that situation, but the actual putting in of the water heater was great. The contractor was professional as well. I asked them questions about the water heater and they explained the process to me and how everything would go. They were also on time, very courteous, and knowledgeable. I have been with 2-10 for about 5 years now and I continue to renew since they fix our problems.

I had recently lost my husband and home maintenance was not my forte. A warranty seemed like a good idea to help with any repairs, appliance issues, plumbing issues or any of those things. For the first few months, it was paid for by the sellers and then when it was time to renew, I kept it because it made so much sense. After I moved in, I bought a new washer and dryer and a new refrigerator, and I was able to add those. Even though they weren’t part of the house when I bought it, I was able to add things that I acquired too that fit under the warranty.
Submitting a claim is really easy ‘cause I just go online on the website and go to my account. I just follow the directions for requesting a service call and try to fill out what I can about what's going on. The only problem I have is sometimes I don’t know the make and model of something or I can’t find the serial number, but that doesn’t keep me from getting assistance. Everyone has been really nice and pleasant. I know that when I put in a service call, they're gonna send me someone and I’m gonna get just what I need at a very good price. The contractors are really professional but friendly, very nice about understanding that I’m kind of a ditz when it comes to some of the home repair issues that I have. They're very helpful in explaining stuff and they’ve all been very patient with me, so I appreciate that. I tell people all the time that 2-10 is the best decision that I ever made.

The communication with the plumbers was very good and the customer service was great. The water heater wasn’t producing enough hot water and they came out a couple of times to service it but it wasn’t getting any better and it was replaced. There was a miscommunication with 2-10 about the replacement though. We were a little confused because we had an 80-gallon tank and 2-10 replaced it with a 50-gallon tank, and we had no idea that that was going to happen. I called them and asked if they were going to be replacing it with the same water heater, and they said that they would. Then, when I got the 50-gallon tank, I was very concerned because the plumber was concerned as to whether or not it would be big enough for this house. So, I was in a bit of a panic about that and it caused us a lot of confusion because we have a such a large house.
The 50-gallon tank seems to be working and we have hot water. I haven't used the whole load of hot water at one time and right now, we don’t seem to have any issues because it’s just the two of us here. We were told that 80-gallon tanks are only given for commercial use at this point and that you can't get an 80-gallon tank for a house. If the law had changed, we probably would’ve tried harder to get our 80-gallon tank fixed instead of just letting them take it and haul it away. By the time we found out we got a 50-gallon tank, they had already scrapped our 80-gallon tank. So, that kinda bothers me.

In my recent claim, 2-10 first sent out a contractor who really didn’t know what they were doing. Afterwards, they sent out another one. There was a huge delay and they couldn’t respond. Then about three weeks later, they finally got someone out there. So, with the delay in that process, I’m not exactly sure who’s issue it was. But I had to deal with the actual contractors. Still, as far as 2-10, it was swift and the process was smooth. I have had coverage with 2-10 for about 3 months now and they’re good.

I filed claims with 2-10 for both heating and air conditioning issues. The situations happened two months apart from each other with the HVAC happening first and the heating, second. However, the website was not intuitive at all. It was enormously confusing. For instance, when you talk about an HVAC system, you should be able to file a claim with the system. But I had to file two separate claims for two separate instances for the same system that is all one unit. Therefore, when I had to go through the process of getting the heating fixed, I had to argue with them multiple times for several hours to get them to understand that the pieces that have been replaced were not the problem and that the two different service calls were not linked as they should have been. When you deal with the heat pump system, that is also the HVAC, which is also the AC unit. All of it is connected.
I had to escalate all the way up as far as they would let me, in order to get them to resolve the issue about the system. It was disjointed and they didn't realize what the problem was, even though I explained it to them. Also, telling me it would take up to seven days to fix the heating issue when it's 30 degrees out is unacceptable. They also sent the worst contractors possible. Both of them were 1-star rated and neither one of them solved the problem. And the second one they sent me wanted to charge me $3,000 for $800 worth of work.

My most recent washer claim with 2-10 ended up being good. At first, it was not good because the people from the company that came noticed that there was no label on my washer but the model number. They said, “Oh, we won’t touch it unless there is the original label showing that it’s proven to be this model number because we don’t wanna order parts and then not being able to fix it.” And they asked you if you know the model number on the 2-10 website, and you can say no and the claim still goes through and get started. So that was a real pain but they did end up sending somebody else. I didn’t have to pay the deductible again. And they did the buyout and it all went very smoothly. So, the company was good, but there was some communication breakdown with the contractor that they used. They need to be more organized better.

I call in to file a claim and it’s not bad at all. The only complaints that I have about the whole process is trying to figure out exactly what’s covered and what’s not. I got a Sub-Zero fridge setup that basically, if you look at it, it's like two different entire fridges. But one side is a fridge and one side is a freezer and it doesn’t have an icemaker built into it. So, there’s an icemaker that’s external and it isn’t covered. So, now I'm $700 out of pocket if I wanna replace it with the exact, same model. They’re not cheap apparently. I wish more stuff was covered by 2-10. But I've used the heck out of them. They were there within 48 hours, but that was also including a weekend. I was at work and my wife dealt with them, and she liked both of the contractors.

The water heater stopped producing hot water. So we did a claim and they had a contractor out the very next day to look at it. It had to be completely replaced. He had to wait for the new water heater to get in, and then he replaced everything. The whole process took about five days total. I submitted my claims online. It was quick and very easy.

I used their online form to submit a claim for my water heater. But I had to call them back for some other stuff that I’ve yet to submit through them because the online form doesn’t answer all the questions you ask. Their online stuff is not very good. If you want to submit multiple things, you can’t do it all in one go. There were some issues with it. But calling them was fine. The contractor came over the first time, and he took a look at the water heater. He initially was telling me that even though the water heater was over 17 years old, he was concerned that the company was not gonna pay for replacing it.
I was kinda shocked when I heard that because any normal plumber that comes in, they’re gonna say over 15 years, it’s a no brainer and that they’re not gonna put band aids on it. So that concerned me and made me question why would they even say that. He said his boss would have to approve it. I then asked them why wouldn’t they approve it? Any plumber was gonna approve this. It made me think that they were in cahoots with each other. So that was kinda disappointing initially, but he came back immediately and he took a picture of it and they said 2-10 would replace it. After that, 2-10 forgot to order the actual unit for several days, so I had to check with them. And then they placed the order and it took three weeks to get the new unit installed and everything was done. I’m pretty satisfied because they took care of it.
The only negative thing about the water heater experience was that after the contractor left and I turned the water back on, it had air in the pipes so it did that thing where water shoots out, and that messed up one of my toilets, so now the toilet is leaking. I called them back and asked them if they could take care of it, but they said no and that it would have to be a separate service call. I have to pay another $100. I understand that, but it was a direct result of the other work they did, and they’re not willing to cover that.

When we bought the house, 2-10 was the one that was already existing. I did a claim online and then, we got an email confirming it and saying we would be contacted by the contractor and if not, to call them. We were contacted the next day with the appointment. The contractor was knowledgeable, very professional and courteous. He seemed like he knew what he was doing. He did it relatively quickly and it didn’t seem like he ran into any issues. He let us know what the issue was. He told us that he ordered the parts and it should take a certain amount of days for it to come in. Then, he would come back out and install it.
Supposedly, the technician replaced the parts that were broken. He installed a heater that was supposed to go on the line to prevent it and that didn’t work. So, we called them, he came back out and re-assessed it. He ordered a new one, came out and installed, and it still did it. Within 24 hours, the line froze and we couldn’t use the water in the refrigerator. It was relatively a good experience with 2-10. They did what they wanted to. There is still an issue with the refrigerator and that’s not their fault but our problem wasn’t resolved 100%.

I had a claim for an electrical issue. We had the power company come out and check the transformer and everything. There were no issues for power coming from outside. And then they thought it was something inside the house. They came and checked everything, and they said a power surge happened while they were checking. They didn't have a meter on it, but it blew another fuse. It was not an easy diagnosis of what it was, so we're spending a couple of days trying to do that.
They came out and looked and made an additional call over because we had lost power in some other places. They wanted to make sure that it was kind of the same thing going around or that they were on the same page because things changed drastically in the three days after they showed up. We're keeping them abreast of what was happening.
The only issue we had was payment-wise because they didn't specify a breakdown of it. So that was kind of something I was a little frustrated with. They also called saying they wanted payment upfront which we were told we would pay after they did the work, so we could make sure they did the work. That didn't happen. And then after he put everything in he came back the next day to change a breaker. He didn't tighten a wire, so the power went out again. He came back the next day and fixed it, but we thought we were going through this whole thing over again after we had already paid for it. I had to call a few times to get an exact answer on stuff. We were told two different things. I don't know if it was the scheduling or who ran that, and then from the actual contractor himself over how things would work. We had somebody kind of take advantage of us, wanting us to pay upfront when they didn't do the work.

It was pouring out water into the crawlspace when we were doing laundry, and it ended up just being a pipe that had rusted out that needed to be replaced. I really enjoyed working with the contractor. He did a good job. It was just one visit to fix the pipe. But there was a breakdown in communication. Apparently there was supposed to be a second contractor sent out to repair the drywall, and somehow that message didn’t get send ‘til after a couple of weeks. I just checked in and got it squared away. 2-10 and I mutually decided it would be better for them to just send a check because they didn’t think that the rest of the coverage that was available would be enough. Rather than us being responsible for whatever was over, we decided to do like the payout check.

Somebody told me about 2 -10 about 20 years ago and I have them for a long time now. I wanted to have a home warranty for security and so far, I have not had any issues about their claims process.

They also let me know when to expect the contractors out and the quality of the work performed by the techs has been pretty good. Recently, I had a claim for the washer-dryer and my experience was satisfactory. They had some parts that they had to renew and everything has been functioning well since the service.

I called and spoke to someone with 2-10 when I've had claims, and the service was great. I’ve had to use them 7 times in the last 5 months so far that I've had them, and they’ve been helpful and responsive. They seem like the middleman and it’s really about contacting the contractor or the service provider and so, they do everything they can. Some of the contractors are more responsive or faster to respond than others. Naturally, I would prefer a faster response and I’m sure most people would. ‘Cause when I contact 2-10, it’s not for something that I can wait weeks to take care of. It’s something I needed taken care of immediately. Still, things have worked well, and it’s been good.

I call 2-10 for claims and it is all very nice service with the representatives. I had 2 separate claims where one was addressed 2 or 3 days later, which was almost immediately. The other one was a week or so, which was a bit longer. But both claims were very good. The first fellow that came was for the air conditioner. There were some corroded parts. He was very nice and fixed it in no time. The second fellow serviced the dishwasher. He was also very nice and efficient. I had an excellent experience. We bought the house at the end of February and have had 2-10 since. If we still have the house when the first year of the contract is up, we would renew.

The motor on the dishwasher broke and 2-10 had somebody out to look at it and to confirm what was wrong with it two days later. They confirmed it couldn’t be repaired and two weeks later they told me I would need to replace it. They offered me a check to find my own replacement and sent almost $600 although I ended up having to spend 1,000. Still, the claims process was easy and I just filed the claim online.

One of my breakers was kind of frying. I noticed the power was wavering on my refrigerator, and there was some light crackling noise out of the breaker box at that particular breaker. So, I called in 2-10 and they sent out an electrician who said that the whole panel needed to be replaced. The techs came out two days after I called. My wife told me that they were quick getting the work done and everything was satisfactory. I had to call them back out because one of my switches wasn't working, and it turned out that required two switches to be turned on. They said turn both switches on. 2-10 handled this claim very well, and they were quick. They called to tell me that the claim had been approved and I was satisfied in that regard.
A few months ago, and this was not long after I moved into the house, the air conditioner needed some work done, and I went through 2-10, and that was a horrible experience from my end. I couldn't get any communication back from them. I called them myself with the exception of the last call, and that was the call in which I received from somebody who said that the air conditioner unit was still covered under manufacturer warranty, so they were not going to cover it. And this was right in the thick of summer. It was 85 degrees or so in my house on a daily basis because the AC wasn't working, and I was very frustrated and very disappointed with the service then.
It got to the point where I felt like they didn't want to cover it, and that was why they were not getting back with me at all. But then with this particular claim, they sent the technician out. The technician put whatever he put in the system and then 2-10 contacted me and said, "We're gonna approve this claim, and we're gonna get this technician back out there to do his job." This particular instance was really good, especially compared to the last time I had to deal with them.
When we purchased the home, we requested a home warranty, and we got a decent coverage out of it. My last home warranty was not through 2-10, but 2-10 has been pretty decent so far. I hear a lot of people, in particular my home inspector who came out, saying that 2-10 is one of the better home warranty companies to have, so that was comforting. I hope that they are as good with the future claims as they were with this one.

I had a hot water tank claim and the service that I received from the service people was excellent. When they finally got here and they took a look at things, they determined that my tank was leaking, and they made arrangements to repair it rather than replace it, and then, all was good. The fact that I had to go 7 to 10 days before they got in to do it was not something I was happy with. There were only three companies available for 24/7 that could handle that job and that part concerned me.
The best they could do was what they did. They had made things aware to me. The point was that I would think that if a company was as big as they claim to be in supplying protection for as many people as they seem to be, then they would have more than three plumbers in any given area available to handle emergencies. I’m looking to go elsewhere because of that. I have contacted a few other companies. I have spoken with them, and they made it clear to me that they consider a hot water tank leaking a danger, especially with a fully furnished basement with carpeting and other items that were down here, and no way of containment on this tank. So, these companies I spoke with would have gotten someone out to me within 24 hours or less, and they would have made it done, whatever they needed it to do, to stem any problem until they could get it fixed.
I have a StairGlide to get up and down the stairs to my basement. I can’t run up and down the stars. There’s a lot of things I cannot do. And I made that clear to 2-10 that I was concerned about the tank leaking out. I managed to get down on the floor and look in the unit. It took me about five minutes to get back up, but I got up. I got down to look. So, when I called them, I let them know that there was a definitive leak, and that I had a fully furnished basement.
They said they could get somebody out the next day or two. When I prodded them farther, they came back with the answer that they only had three people that were available, and one of them was not available right that time at all for any action, and there were only two, and I started getting nervous. They need to think about what they project to people, and they need to be able to back up their service when it’s needed, not give me excuses why it’s gonna take 3, 5, 8, 10 days to get somebody out to do the work.

We put in a claim to have out refrigerator repaired. The control board malfunctioned. We were able to get a repairman to come out and analyze it. They then took a day or two to update their diagnosis. Then from there, we waited another day for 2-10 to tell us whether or not they were going to repair or replace it. They decided to repair it, but we had to keep calling in to keep being informed about what their decision was.
When we called in, they said that they decided to repair it. We waited over a week for the part to come in. So then, the repairman came back out, and he notified us that the wrong part was ordered. We would have to wait another 5 to 10 days to get the proper part in, and that was why we decided to cancel it. They were saying that there was no way for them to expedite the process. This was for a refrigerator and we needed to be able to store food. So, it would have been almost three plus weeks without a refrigerator if we would have went with 2-10.
They then sent us the amount that they would have paid for the repairs, so we used that to pay someone else to do the repairs. They covered 80% of it, and we were able to get it repaired within a week. 2-10 was courteous, but I couldn't say that they were that helpful. They were always nice, but I wouldn’t know if they were effective or efficient because there was a huge delay due to them. This was our first time interacting with them and it was unfortunate.

I’ve been using 2-10 for a year and a half now and submitting a claim to them has not been a good experience. I would go online and open up a request and sometimes, the companies would call me back. Sometimes I have to reach out to them because it’s an emergency. By the time I submit a claim, it’s something broken or not working so, I need it resolved fast. I had a water heater that was broken and we had to shut off the water. I have renters in there, so I couldn’t leave them without water.
I called the company to schedule the appointment because it was an emergency and they said they couldn’t come out till the next day to even look at it. I said that if they come out, they need to finish the job because it needs to be replaced. He said that if they replace it, it would still take five days to get that resolved. So, I told them to forget it and that I was gonna use my own person. I couldn’t even use 2-10 for that situation. They couldn’t resolve it in time, so I had to get another company. I did submit a claim after and 2-10 paid what they would normally pay. They made the people call them and give them a bill breakdown, and they gave me some money towards it. It wouldn’t cover the whole thing though.
I haven't had too much luck with the AC people that 2-10 has brought out. I used my own AC person because I had a guy walk off the job. The AC people that 2-10 has was always too busy, couldn’t resolve your stuff and they took forever. It took me two months to get my AC replaced and every time, I had to follow up with them. All they did was change the coil and they didn’t even replace the outside piece. I had to use my own person for my second unit that I made a claim for because the guy ended up walking off the job. I had to call a million times to get my AC reimbursed and I had to go back and forth between the AC company and the insurance company to get it resolved and then pay me out. So, that took another few months for me to even get my money back.
It has just been a lot of dropping the ball. They don’t get back to me at all with anything and I have to do the follow-up to make sure the problem gets resolved. I haven't had a great experience with the home warranty and I would not renew next year because even though they are working with me to reimburse some of the money, it’s still a big hassle to work with them. 2-10 needs a better process internally and be able to get back to people timelier. They also don’t have a good set of technicians and I haven't had a great experience even with those who came out. I actually had to find one of the AC guys myself and they started using him because he was cheaper than the ones that they had called. They don’t have a good process down to provide to customers. So, they need to work on that.

We have a Supreme warranty with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. We discovered that the lighting inside the refrigerator was staying on, resulting in melting of the control unit (so it hangs down) and the thermal lining (still functional). We contacted 2-10 and a service company was dispatched. The service tech determined it should be covered and that we would likely receive an offer of some dollar amount since it wasn’t worth fixing. This seemed a reasonable approach.
However, we have been refused coverage after repeated requests to reconsider and explaining that the issue (lights staying on with the doors closed) was a fire hazard and safety issue, not to mention bad for the food. 2-10 couldn’t show where it was excluded but rather stated since it wasn’t explicitly stated it would be covered, it is not covered. If you look at their coverage documents, it would be clear that very little is explicitly shown as being covered, and I would imagine the service fee would cover most of it anyway. This was after 2-10 worked the “thermal lining” line which the policy does say was denied coverage, even though this was never the issue. I am writing so others do not waste their time or money. This is clearly something that should be covered to some reasonable amount.

That makes it challenging to get the service when it’s only twice a week that they're there. Then, he came out and replaced the board. He had to order some one-line drawings because that wasn't where it was supposed to be. He came back out and saw the wiring diagram and found a connector that got disconnected somehow.

Submitting my dishwasher claim with 2-10 was easy but everything else has been a pain in the side. I called and did the prompts on the phone. Then, I was given an estimate on time when I was supposed to hear from someone. The contractor gave me a call and the guy said that he was Mark from B&J Appliance Service and Repair and wanted to know if anybody was at the house because he knocked on the door and nobody answered. I told him I was at work. He said that he needed me to set the time and I told him my work schedule. He said that he would be able to do it on Saturday and I told him that I get off work at 1:00 and I would be there by 2 o’clock. But he never came.
I sent him a text message the Friday before and I didn’t get a response. Then, I sent him a text message the morning of letting him know I’m in at work and to call me if there were any issues. He didn’t respond. I tried to call him, too, but I wasn’t able to get through. His voicemail was full. I texted him again that Saturday as I was leaving work and I told him that I would be there before 2:00 and I would be there the rest of the day, that I was having trouble with my phone and so, if he could just show up, that was fine. Otherwise, he would need to text me because I don’t get service inside. He never called me and never showed up.
I finally got in touch with him the following Wednesday and then he just lied to me. He said he talked to me on Saturday and told me he couldn’t meet me. Finally, I was able to get him to come over. He opened up the dishwasher, looked at it, and he said that it was my water pump and something else. He said somebody will call me from 2-10 in a couple of days and it’s $100. I asked if he was gonna be the one that’s gonna come out and replace it and he said no. I was like, "Thank God." I won’t use him in the future.
On Monday night, there was no phone call, Tuesday at work, there was no phone call, and then Tuesday evening is when I called 2-10 asking them to find out what was going on. This is when I started pretty frustrated with 2-10. The biggest thing for me was the way that I was handled through 2-10. It’s one thing that the contractor comes out and he’s like slow, but when I’m asking questions as to what is going on and what could be done about it, they kept telling me I had to call back. Why do I need to call back? I’m calling now to get this resolved.
I work six days a week. I don’t have time to call because then, I had to go through this whole thing again. And so, I was very irritated. The next day, afternoon comes and I called 2-10. I went through the whole thing again and I was told a different story this time. It was ridiculous. The guy still hadn’t even turned in the work order. So then, someone had to call him to get the work order turned in.
Also, the rep that I spoke to needs to get a job outside of customer service because her attitude is absolutely horrible. I told her I was upset because I bought the house and as a buyer, they gotta prove to me that I need to stay. This woman basically said, “Well, did you read your contract?” I told her I did. She said, “Well then, if you read your contract, then you would know that we have nothing to do with how the contractor comes out to your house. We don’t do anything about that. There’s nothing that you can tell us to do about that. There is nothing that you can do about that part. That’s not between us and the contractor. That’s between you and the contractor.”
2-10 sent me to this contractor. At least make me feel better by saying, "Okay, in the future, we won’t send this contractor. We’ll try to get this rectified. We’ll try to see why he is being slow about it.” At that point, the tech had already cost me three days. The rep said that technically they have two days to respond. That was Monday and Tuesday. I had to call Tuesday evening and it was like 9:00 o’clock when I called 2-10. She said those were business days and I said the tech would have come out on a Saturday. So, that would mean Monday and Tuesday. But then they didn’t get in touch with me on Tuesday and nobody’s even called on Wednesday. I had to make the phone call. She said that Saturday is not a business day. I said, “Do you have his hours? Because he told me he works on Saturday.” I’m all in tears and she was trying to put this to where it was some fault of mine. She is the one who put the worst experience with 2-10 in my mind.
I’ve been compensated for the dishwasher and now, I’m waiting for Home Depot to deliver the one that I purchased through them. When the home warranty comes out at the end of that year, I’m not really sure I’m gonna extend with 2-10 because at this point, 2-10 has not shown me that they really care about their clients. I have used another home warranty company in the past and I’ve never had this issue ever.

The only thing I don't understand about 2-10 is that every time someone comes out, they don't wanna pay. They'd say it’s pre-existing and so, it's hard as a homeowner.
The first time we had an issue, 2-10 sent out a plumber and that plumber was absolutely wonderful. There were several things that the warranty wouldn't cover, but he fixed them for me out of the goodness of his heart. 2-10 doesn't use that company anymore for and now, they have a new plumber. They sent this other plumber out too, and he was rude to me. They sent him out to fix the water heater and he was double charging the water heater so he would get extra money out of it. I called the warranty company and there was nothing they could do about that.
I am happy to come out of pocket for extra piping and the other company said it should only cost $400 total. What the contractor was charging was 800 for running some pipes and I'm happy to pay 500 of that. So, I am not happy with the companies that they're using. When 2-10 sends someone out, these people are trying to get one over because they know there's a home warranty involved, or because it's a woman who doesn't know what she's doing.
My air conditioner stopped working and 2-10 sent a guy out. The guy walked outside, looked at it, came back inside and said that I needed a whole air conditioner unit. They said it was gonna be $3,000 for me. After hours, I called my own person that was recommended to me. The guy came out and said that somebody came out here and loosened the bolt, which drained all my Freon. He said that all I needed was Freon and for the bolt to be tightened. He fixed it, tightened the bolt that the man who previously came out loosened and my air conditioner has worked since then. I called 2-10 and told them about that man doing that and they were nice enough to cover it because it was $600 for the Freon they had to put in.

When I make a claim, 2-10 is pretty on top of it. Somebody usually gets in touch with me within a few hours, and the contractors get the job done, generally speaking. Our dishwasher still isn’t fixed but our heating system is now working perfectly. Apparently, the heating had been going out since we moved in and we didn’t realize it. It was making a noise that sounded like a ghost in the attic but we didn’t realize that’s what it was. We just thought it was the pipes. And then one day, it just stopped blowing warm air, and it was the coldest day of the year. It was like 13 degrees outside. It took the contractor about two days to get out here to fix it, and then they had to order a part.

We’re a management company, so we have all warranties and they are all a scam. Somebody needs to do something. We pay a lot of money to have this. We've had 2-10 for four years and my experience with them has been horrible. To call them, we have to wait hours on the phone, then you get a stupid person who doesn’t understand anything. They give you a hard time to get a supervisor, and you have to threaten with their life to get one. We’re canceling all of our insurances with them. The supervisor, by their policies, is trying to do one thing or another. They can’t reassign someone. They take forever and when something is wrong with the item, they just give you excuses. I have had instances in which they sent three or four technicians.
Finally, when I threaten with lawsuits, they say they'll give a payout, which is a third of what it costs to repair. It’s awful. It’s always a job to get something done with them. I had to hire a person just to deal with them. Still, we needed them a couple of times to do things like a plumbing issue and that works out. The contractors know what they’re doing, but they have so many limitations on communicating that they become rude. I ask what’s wrong with an item and they say they can’t tell me until I pay the fee. Once you pay the fee, they don’t answer you, and 2-10 does not share the paperwork. I never know what’s wrong in my house. One time, they changed a water heater and I can’t get an invoice for warranty purposes.

The builder that built my house told us about 2-10 and the warranty came with the house as a package deal. Submitting a claim has been a good experience so far and we do it both by phone or online depending on what happened at the time. While the process is slow sometimes, most of the contractors they had sent out were good. In regards to a recent claim, the heating system wasn’t producing heat the way it’s supposed to.

I've been with 2-10 since August when I bought the house. The previous owners made it a part of the sale. When I submitted a claim, I did it online and it was fine. I’ve recently had done two claims. Once for my plumbing, and once for the heating. I wasn’t really that happy with that portion of it. With the heating, I ended up paying someone else to come and do it because they were going to take entirely too long to get me in. So, I went ahead and paid the people that installed it to come and fix it.
The plumbing was nightmare. It took two weeks to get my toilet fixed. From the day of the claim, it took about 36 hours until Media Plumbing called and came out. Then it was a missed appointment after missed appointment after that. It was horrible. I ended up having to call 2-10, and they said, “Oh, you might wanna work directly with the contractor.” Well, if that was the case, then I wouldn’t be bothering them.
I initially did the claim on a Sunday or a Monday, and he came out that Thursday. He said he would be back the next day, that Friday, to replace the toilet, but I didn’t hear from them. I called and texted them, but there was nothing. So that was when I called 2-10 that Monday -- I guess they said something to him and I got a thing online that he would be out that Wednesday. Missed the appointment, nothing again. I called and texted them, telling that if I didn’t hear from them, and if my toilet’s not fixed by Friday, I was going have to get someone outside to fix it.
He came that Friday and fixed the toilets, and he finished that evening. One of the toilets was running. I called him to let him know that the toilet had ran all night, and he said he would be out there that day, a Saturday, to fix it. However, I didn’t hear from him again. Then it took another week for him to come back after me threatening, again, for him to come. He spent three minutes to fix the issue, which was was due to the fact that he didn’t take the band off of the thing, so that it wouldn’t run properly. I had to be stern for 2-10 to contact the contractor to get my toilet fixed. I was like, “No. This is your contractor. The warranty’s with you. You make sure he gets out here to get my toilet fixed.” Because when I had gone online, I saw that it showed that it was completed. How was it completed, and my toilets were not even installed? I wasn’t that happy with them.

The claim itself for gas electric heating system went fine. The only issue we had, and I expressed this with the warranty provider, was with the subcontractor that came over to give a pricing on the work itself, the additional work that was required was completely out of the park. It was super high and it made no sense at all. I brought in a different contractor and they actually did the work for the claim. They did the work that was part of the claim along with all the additional work that the warrantor’s subcontractor quoted, all for the price of $510 while the other company was well over 1,000. Outside of that, everything went smooth. I got paid timely, and everything else was perfect. 2-10 just need to keep an eye on their subcontractors and make sure that they’re not trying to take advantage of homeowners.

The washer and dryer was smoking and it was making a squealing noise. There was also a very strong electrical smell and the smoke was filling the room. I went to the corner to look and the washer was on. When I opened the washer's top, smoke was coming out of it. There was also water leaking to the bottom. I spent two hours with the tech checking the washer and dryer out. Then he wrote up something and turned it in. I then talked with Melissa and got the check after roughly a week. Then we got a new washer and dryer.
It took close to a month to get a washer and dryer, which was really slow. Today, people like speed. Based on that, the check should have been overnighted. I had to go to a laundromat a lot and use a lot of money there. 2-10's speed in getting a technician also needs to be faster. I know it is not all their fault, but they need to have some kind of agreement where techs get to you the next day or the day after. Also, a nice gesture like sending out a little portable washer and dryer to hold us over would have been nice.

One of my wife’s biggest fears in life is carbon monoxide poisoning. We have those literally all over the house, and before winter came along, she asked if we would be able to do a furnace tune-up and check to see if everything’s going well because it was 24 years old at that point. I brought in a family friend that owns a heating and cooling company to see if he’d come over and do a tune-up. He ended up testing the carbon monoxide, and it was blowing out. It was five parts per million carbon monoxide, which indicated to him that there was a crack in the heating element and it needed to be replaced.
I called 2-10, told them about the scenario and they gave us a couple of options, one to do that on our own with the heating and cooling company that I was currently working with, or they could bring in one of their own specialists to do some tests on it. Because my wife wanted this changed as soon as possible, we ended up taking the cash and we had it replaced.

My claim with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty on my AC unit ended up working out. I had to do a lot of follow-up work, but I got in touch with one of the customer support people and she helped me out. My heater broke and I called 2-10. The first person I called wasn’t able to come out for a few days, so I got back in touch with 2-10. They were gonna send somebody else. But they were gonna come out even later than that. I was dispatched to several companies, but none of them were available in a timely manner. So, I called in. They said that I could have an outsider contractor come in, so I did. He came in, quoted the job, and they said that they would cover the national prices. The contractor quoted about $700, and 2-10 was gonna cover $75 of that. So then I said, “Well, I'm gonna have to wait ‘cause I can’t afford to pay that much money.”
I was dispatched another person from 2-10. The guy looked at it and said that he could work on it but it needed a new valve, fan control center, and burners. And he said that he wasn’t able to get those parts because the furnace was too old. It was pretty much back-and-forth with 2-10, and then they were saying I could buy a bunch of space heaters. They will cover up to $150 worth. It was getting really cold that week. I wasn’t able to go home. I was having a big issue. And I kept getting thrown through the loops. Nobody was helping out. They just kept telling me to call back, talk to another person, and they didn’t understand why it wasn’t a valid answer.
Finally, I got on the internet and I found a bunch of different things. So, one of the things was their Facebook page, and their customer service person was able to get in touch with me and she fixed the problem.

The heat went out, and we called 2-10 on their line and they scheduled somebody to come see us three days later. When the contractor looked at it, they said that it needed a part. Something was not working and the tech didn't have the part with them, and he would come back. He told us to leave the part off because we don't wanna blow stuff up. So we left it off the whole time. About a week later, I called and asked when was the tech coming back? And then about another week, he came. So it ended up being a week and a half to two weeks of waiting for this part.

I’m glad that my heating system is working now, but it doesn’t make sense the way 2-10 do things.

On October 15th, all that went bad because whoever they had do it didn’t do a good job or gave me the wrong stuff. They replaced it all again like two or three weeks later. And then it tore up again, and a new company came out and replaced the same exact three or four parts again. They are either not doing a good job or there’s something else going on, because the other people petitioned to just have the inside unit replaced. The outside unit has been replaced, and generally, you replace them both. I’ve already had three or four times of the same three or four parts being replaced within a two-month period, and 2-10 replaced those same parts last year also.
I told 2-10 that they are gonna end up costing more money trying to keep bandaging this thing up than it would be just to replace it and have no more claims out of it. And now, I feel like it’s starting to make that noise again. I was almost gonna call back up and say that before it actually tears up 100% and I’m stuck with no heat again, someone should come back out here and check it. The same noise that led up to the problem before is starting again, and I’d rather have it caught and get things in order before I’m without heat again for two or three weeks, and it’s 30 degrees outside.
I was explaining to them the cost, that they have replaced those same parts last year and then three times again this year, and they could have already bought me a new unit just replacing those three or four parts. They told me they don’t look it at over the life of the warranty or the life of the unit. They do it based on annual basis of, like, if it is costing them more to keep fixing it or replace it. I get that, but hypothetically, as long as they don’t spend $2,000 a year on this unit, they’re willing to replace it. Well, if I’m spending $1,900 every year, after two years, that’s almost four grand. It only costs three grand to replace it. Now, if I do it again next year, they're at $6,000 to keep fixing the same unit that only costs 3,000 to replace.

We just bought a house, so we wanted a new warranty and 2-10 was referred to me. I've had a couple of claims and submitting them is pretty simple. I do it over the phone and it's been straightforward with the reps. I had a claim for the swimming pool when the filter had a hole in it and whatever was coming up was shooting back out into the pool. They replaced the filter. It was an overall good experience.

The contractor 2-10 sent for our last claim responded quickly. They were timely. The gentleman that came out and looked at the water heater said it definitely needed to be replaced, but it was all downhill from there. They ordered a comparable water heater. The guy came in really late at night, and didn’t do a very good job. Our house is quite large. It’s over 7,000 square feet. So you need to have this little deal on top to shoot water down to the other end where the master bedroom is. He said, “You didn’t need that.” He kind of had a little bit of an attitude. He wasn’t happy that he had to come back. He did kind of a sloppy job on the soldering, and as a result, right now, we have another plumber coming that we’re gonna pay for that’s going to have to uninstall it and put it back.
We also told him we wanted a new drain pan underneath it. He did not put it in. He just put it on top of the old one. He said he was going to Home Depot to get one. He never did. It’s the old pan that's in there and consequently it’s gonna cost us $700 to have this other plumber undo the fittings, because they just weren’t done the way they should be done.
After the second time we didn’t call 2-10. It wasn’t worth the hassle for us. And in fact, it turns out our water softener is not working and we have to get a new water softener. We were concerned that we would get the same plumbers again. The woman with whom my husband spoke originally from that warranty company said those are her favorite plumbers. We’re thinking if this is the best they’ve got, we just can’t have that. I’m very displeased because the softener that should be covered, we’re gonna end up paying $1,600 out of our pocket to fix, because I’m pretty sure that’s who they’re gonna send again, someone like that or someone comparable. Then you have to go in and have someone else come in behind them and do it right. I wish there was some option that we could have a better situation so that the second time we could call somebody else that we know would do a good job.

When we bought the house, the refrigerator was left. And within a couple weeks of moving in, the icemaker stopped working. Eventually, the mainboard shorted out and that the entire fridge would no longer work. I liked that I was able to go online and file the claim, so I was able to do that quickly. I made the claim on a weekday and the technician was out the next day to diagnose the problem. The service was great and fast. Then they ordered the parts that were needed, and within a week’s time the fridge was repaired. The only thing is, they should have push notifications for status updates rather than having to be on their website. But, other than that, I was very happy with the service.

2-10 has been fantastic and they have supervisor goes above and beyond. But the Sears people that came out for my recent claims didn’t really know what they were doing. For my refrigerator, they ordered the wrong part, so they had to come back. Then, when they came back, they reordered the wrong part. So they have to come back again. At the moment, I’ve got three boxes and I opened them a couple days ago just to see what they are. Two of those boxes have the same parts and now we’re gonna have four of the same part and one different part. So, hopefully, that different part is the part they needed.
The tech also have to come back for the stove. I told him that the burners were sparking on the top and when he asked me which burner I used the most, I told him which one. So, they came back and replaced that burner. But the other three were still sparking, so I called them and when they came back, they said they were probably just dust. They also said we needed to remove the claim because it made us look bad that it was not a real call. As for the burner that they replaced, before it was fixed, it would get really hot and would take two seconds for it to be burning. And normally, I would cook in four. But now, that four became six or seven. So, the heating is all kinda weird.

The house is a few years old and it is on an island, and it will go a whole lot of money and we wanted some kind of warranty, so we required one. Submitting a claim to 2-10 on the phone has been good. While the vast majority of the contractors sent have been good, we’ve had one that really sucked -- they came out, started the job, kind of fumbled what they did, and did not come back out. We had to recontact the warranty company and had them get somebody else to come out and do the job right. So, for that one job, we had a total of two contractors. Overall, 2-10 has been good.

Getting a home warranty was part of the whole negotiation process when we were buying our house. We said that the furnace was 20 years old and if we were going to buy the house, then the seller had to include a home warranty. Submitting a claim with 2-10 has been extremely easy. Everybody has been really helpful and claims have been taken care of promptly. Usually, I'm given a time window of when somebody is going to contact us. And so far, people have contacted us within that timeframe. Also, who is gonna be calling is always listed, so expect a call from whoever. And it has always been that person and hasn’t been anybody different. There was only one time when somebody was dispatched that 2-10 hadn't called. I contacted 2-10 and they put somebody else on the claim. Also, we’ve had good luck with the contractors, who have been professional. I’m currently satisfied with 2-10.

Aire Serv is great. Everybody is respectful of my time except for the back and forth that seemed to go between 2-10 and Aire Serv. We were without heat for nine days and I realized that Aire Serv was calling 2-10 at the same time I was to see what the holdup was. I was told 2-10 had to purchase the part because it’s something very specific and if it was wrong, they weren’t gonna pay for it twice. Both Aire Serv and I called several times and we were supposed to wait for purchasing to order a part that I needed, knowing full well that we were down in the 20s. It was 48 degrees in my house several mornings and 2-10 didn’t seem to have an issue with us being cold. It was Aire Serv who was taking up our side of the part, and they finally ordered for us.
2-10 should have moved a little bit faster. They should improve their efficiency or let the contractors do what it is they are going to do. If Aire Serv could’ve taken care of everything, the two companies should’ve talked it out. Also, I can order something from Amazon and it will be here tomorrow, but nine days to get a part because 2-10 had ordered it seems excessive.

Often, people try and keep all things going as long as they can and I was afraid the tank was gonna explode and leak all over the house. So, I was pleasantly surprised.
The gentleman who came was very respectful, knowledgeable and seemed to know what he was doing. The contractor was a very small outfit and I understand that often, it is small outfits that respond to the opportunity to be jobbers of 2-10.

When I called this time about my furnace, I could not get a person on the phone, and I was a little bit annoyed by that. I had to do everything automated to the machine. It went smoothly, as far as making the appointment and them coming out, but I couldn’t speak to anybody to confirm anything or anything like that.
Then, when the tech first came out, he got the furnace working for like three hours and later that night, it went out again. He had to come back but he couldn’t come back until Wednesday and then, they had to order the furnace. When I talked to 2-10, they said that it was in stock and all they were gonna do was pull it.

Submitting claims is reasonably easy and I’ve had positive experiences with the various contractors that have been sent out with one exception. A guy tried to pull a pretty fraudulent number on me. We had a minor repair to the furnace last year. It was just a fuse, as it turned out. But he claimed that the entire system was shot and that it would not be covered under the warranty and I would need to pay him $5,000 individually to his company, not through the warranty. And for $5,000, he’d install me a new furnace. When I called 2-10 Warranty to verify this, they said that the guy had not called them. He just said that he had been out and that he was waiting for my call. They also said if I have a problem with the furnace, it would almost certainly be covered.
I went back-and-forth with him and eventually, 2-10 sent out another contractor that found out it was an inexpensive part and they just replaced that and the furnace lasted for another year. That’s the kind of thing you don’t expect to get past the screening process. He was relatively new and he was looking to make a quick buck. That’s the only negative I’ve had with 2-10.

My claim on my gas electric heating system was horrible. About a year ago, we had some issues with the system. The contractor that services our area came out after a couple of days. To get him out was absolutely a nightmare. He kept telling me that he couldn't give me a day. There was all sorts of issues. So, he came out, he gave us a diagnosis, and then I never heard from him again. I've called him multiple times, where I spoke with him once or twice and he told me he was waiting on the part.
When I had asked him for a tracking number for the part, he wouldn't give it to me. And then he finally stopped returning my phone calls. He stopped picking up the phone, and it came down to where we had to go out of network to get it fixed because of this issue. So, fast forward to this year, we started having some issues with the heating system I had called that same contractor that came out last year and asked them to come out and look at it. They came out and looked at it and they gave me a diagnosis. I said that I would call 2-10 to see what my options were. So, when I called 2-10 this time around, I said, "Look. I'm having issues with my heating system. However, you're not sending that guy back out that we had all the problems with last year. So, I need you to find me a new contractor."
So, it took hours of sitting on the phone, hours of sitting on hold. Finally, they got someone who doesn't service my area, so he wanted a trip fee. So, 2-1 approved the trip fee. I made an appointment with him. He was supposed to come out to my home and he gave me an appointment time between 11:00 and 1:15. He still hadn't showed up and I hadn't heard from him. So, I called him and he said, "Oh, I'm still in Colonial Heights. I'll be there as soon as I can." So, around 3 o'clock, I had left the room that I was in and went into another room for 10 minutes then within that 10 minutes, he had called, left a message saying that he was in front of my house.
As soon as I went back into the room and I got the phone, I called him back, and he said that he already left, and that he called and I did not answer the phone. I was like, "Well, did you come to the door because I was in the living room where the front door is when he called. And he said, "No. You didn't have numbers on your house." I said, "So, you didn't walk up to the door and ring the doorbell?" He said, "No, ma'am. I don't do that." Then he refused to come back out.
After sitting on hold and speaking with someone between my husband and I that night for well over an hour, the contractor told us that we had to wait until Monday because he said he was going to come back out Sunday or Monday. He never called. He never came back out. Then I called 2-10 that following Monday in the evening. 2-10 got ahold of him and he said that he was not coming back out without another trip fee, so he refused to come back out. So, then, we had to find another contractor.
Then, I'm being told every time we got to find a new contractor, I got to wait 24 hours for someone to call me. Meanwhile, were already going on almost two weeks with my heating system being out because of all the back and forth! So, finally I got another contractor and that was a whole issue. He didn't service my area either. They kept telling me I had to wait. It got to the point where I sucked it up and I took the out of-network buyout. And I spent a ton of money out of pocket to get my heating system fixed because 2-10 could not get a service contractor to come to my home.
There were a couple people that were nice and tried to be helpful. But for the most part, I kept getting put on hold to then go to a department that would do the buyout if we took the buyout or approved claims. That would take another good 20 to 30 minutes to get to them, for somebody to tell me that I got to wait 24 hours, and there was nothing they could do. I'm not happy! I'm still extremely upset about the whole situation. I don't understand why I bought a home warranty to then have to pay $800 out of pocket to get a heating system fixed. I would have paid their labor out of pocket and said, "Fine. I'm just going to suck it up and I'll pay their labor." I couldn't even get 2-10 to cover the cost of the part. I just saw the charge on my card and I have to cancel them. And, I'm not renewing this.

We had a problem with the pump and a couple of different parts. We’ve been very pleased with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. They respond pretty quickly. In all the claims we put in, we’ve only had one technician that came out that I wasn’t pleased with, and they responded to that and sent somebody else. Getting a contractor out to our home depends on me finding time to meet the person. But if it’s the end of the week, it might take an extra day, but usually it’s 24 hours and I get an email that says, “We’ve contacted somebody.” We’ve never really had any trouble with a person not contacting us pretty quickly.
2-10 pretty much handles everything. We pay the service fee and the rest is taken care of. Sometimes the quality of the folks that they have coming out is a little suspect. We had the one person that we tried and I just couldn’t deal with the company. They really didn’t know what they were doing, and it took a few phone calls before that was addressed. So, that made me a little gun-shy the next time because I felt like, “Great, who are they gonna send this time?” But then it all worked out. Still, they should do their best to monitor who they’re contracting with.
It must be hard for those contractors. I’m sure they’re not making a lot of money off of it. So, it must be hard to get good quality folks. But 2-10 does a good job.

We have a boiler and when we turned on our heat, some of the rooms weren’t getting heat. So, I called 2-10 and they sent a service guy out. He looked at it for 15 minutes and said he’d take the information and had to get back and turn it in to the warranty company. He also said I would get a call later that day or the next day and he’d come out and he’d fix it. That was a Friday and I didn’t get a call over the weekend. I called them on Friday afternoon and said I didn’t hear anything. Their rep said she hasn't got any information from the tech. So, she stayed late, got the information from the tech, and sent it to 2-10. I then called on Monday because I hadn’t heard anything and 2-10 said they never got the stuff.
The whole thing was really long and involved. And I'm hoping they got rid of the tech because after the back-and-forth and the final thing, he was supposed to replace a couple of valves and he said he wouldn’t replace them if I didn’t pay for a cleaning. I told him that didn’t think it needed a cleaning because he stood there the last time he was in my house and told me he cleaned it. It was a whole extortion thing. 2-10 finally got me another service guy and he was really nice, very helpful, and explained it all. My issue finally got resolved and I'm good now. However, it was that ridiculous amount of phone calls with the first tech that bothered me. And the fact that the tech would say one thing, but he’d report something else, and it was confusing the girl at the home warranty company. It was confusing me as well and I couldn’t get the same story twice.
At the time, I also felt trapped with this contractor because he was sent to my house and I owed him $189 when he walked through the door. But I wasn’t able to shop for somebody I knew or trusted or somebody from my area. It was whoever 2-10 sent to me, then I was stuck with him because he had the information and he was contacting back-and-forth. I should’ve been able to switch it out sooner and I should’ve put my foot down sooner. But I kept thinking it was gonna get resolved and it wasn’t.
So, paying the guy upfront is a major problem. I don’t have any problem in paying but I’d rather pay 2-10 and have 2-10 pay him than me paying him and then I'm stuck with him. I was on a three-way call with him and his boss, then he’d call back. The process was so difficult for what I needed done and I had to leave work three times to go home for the appointment. I get that it was needed to get the work done but I was under the impression that he was gonna fix it the first time he was there. However, I left work the first time he came out and when he was there, he said he just needed to get the model number. But I could’ve given him that over the phone. I could’ve taken a picture and sent it to him. I didn’t need to take a half-day off of work for him to tell me he’d be there for 15 minutes.
Other than that, the girl at 2-10 was very nice. Still, any warranty company is not worth all this and I feel sad about it. Until now, my issue is 100% not resolved yet, because they told me they were gonna send me back the money that I paid to the guy. But I got a check for 100 bucks which was not the amount I paid to the guy. And I had to call back again and say that it wasn’t even the right amount of the check.

So, then everything had to be expedited. 2-10 expedited the part to be ordered, and it got fixed very quickly once that got resolved.
The first technician who came out never even updated the ticket that there was a part that needed to be ordered. It was like 20 degrees, and I have an infant in the house. There was a whole week when nothing was happening. But it’s fixed now, and I’m thankful that I called 2-10 and escalated it because they gave the vendor the permission to order the part.

The guy who came out last time, I don't think he knew what he was doing. But the one who came out this time was pretty good. As soon as I submitted the claim, I got a phone call and then he was out in no more than 72 hours. He had to order a part and the longest thing was waiting for it to come in. He answered all my questions and got the heater to work. He said something was burnt out but he never understood why it was burnt out, so I don't know if there's a chance it'll happen again. But as for now, I'm getting heat and I'm grateful because it's freezing down here. I appreciate 2-10 for being there for me in my time of need.

I had a contractor that came out and took care of replacing my unit, and everything was fine initially. But when it got cold and I had to turn the heat on, it was not working. I tried to contact the original contractor that put in the unit to see if he could come out because he was the last person to touch it. However, I wasn’t able to get him on the phone so I called 2-10 and put in a request. It took about three people to deny it. From what I understood after the fact, they wanted the original contractor, who was unavailable, to come out.
What made me upset with 2-10 was I explained to them that I have sick children in the house and at that point, it was 40 degrees. It was cold and this was an electrical issue that needed to be fixed, but they kept telling me that they had to get the original contractor and would not escalate the situation. We’re paying all this money for the particular contract and we can’t get them to even work with us to make sure that the issue is resolved.
Fast forward, they sent out another contractor who found the problem. The previous contractor did something wrong and he was gonna fix it, but 2-10 would not allow him to do it because they wanted to send the original contractor out. I then called the homeowner because I was getting aggravated and I couldn't keep arguing with 2-10 trying to explain what needed to happen. She threatened to cancel all of her contracts because it just didn’t make sense. They wouldn’t provide us with a contact number for corporate and just kept giving us the full runaround on everything we were asking. Finally, later on that evening, they agreed. The gentleman came back to repair the work that was done incorrectly. And so far, the heat is working and there have been no issues.

The water heater was old and it went out. I either made the claim to 2-10 on Monday or Tuesday and they replaced it on Friday, but Thursday was Thanksgiving. It would be nice if it was done the same day, it would mean we would have hot water, but it was fine. The initial person I spoke to in their claims department was not very helpful but the contractor was and my rep was great.

Everything turned out great with my swimming pool claim. Submitting it was easy and the tech came when he was supposed to come. On the first day, he figured out what was wrong with it. Then he came out the following week, which wasn't very long, to fix the issue. Although he had the wrong part at first, he went to get the right part that same day so that he could finish the job. Everything we did, we worked out together. There was a time that I couldn’t make it and he said that he would do the work while I wasn’t there.

I have an ongoing issue with my kitchen sink since October the 5th when I had a backup happen. The contractor came out, snaked it out which took a couple of hours, and said it was good to go. On early November, I had a leak under the sink again. 2-10 had sent someone out and said something was wrong with my faucet. The faucet was under warranty. I only purchased the faucet in April, so I called Moen and they sent me a new one, and I had that installed because 2-10 doesn’t do faucet installations. My contract didn’t cover that. The 2-10 contractor came back and when I looked around the collar where the guy had taken all of his stuff to do the snaking, there was some cracks and it was leaking. He said, “I'm gonna put in an order to see about getting all of the pipe and the stuff under there replaced because they’re getting loose.”
Before that, my hot water went out. 2-10 initially wanted to send a handyman. When I went on the internet, there was everything listed for that handyman except plumbing. So, I requested a new contractor and they sent Haynes Plumbing out. We got that resolved and that went smoothly. But this thing with the kitchen sink has been going since November the 5th. Haynes is still working on it. It's going on two months now trying to get the sink fixed. I called 2-10 last week and they said that the work had been approved. I called Haynes Plumbing and they said that the earliest they could get to us would be on the 18th of December because they are backed up.
What I don't like with 2-10 is that if you have an issue, they will outsource the work order to whomever and that person has 48 business hours to contact you. And you have to negotiate the schedule with the service provider. Once 2-10 assigns it to a service provider, they wash their hands off it, unless you have a serious complaint with 2-10. I had a complaint before about the service provider that they had originally scheduled and they said, “We’ll assign you to this service provider,” and they'd remind you that they have another 24 to 48 hour-window to call you to schedule an appointment. I got 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for my home but it’s not worth it.

The water heater was leaking and we made a claim over the phone. They gave us someone to call and we called them. But the number that they gave us was the wrong number. It was to a different place and they didn’t know anything about 2-10 Warranty. So we called the name of the place that they gave us, but they also didn't know anything about 2-10. That was a hassle. So we did the work ourselves, and that was not good because we were without heat in very cold weather. Also, we had to come up with $1,300 to fix it, and 2-10 only reimbursed about $850. 2-10 never seemed to have anyone in their network, so we always have to find our own contractor and then get reimbursed. But they do good getting our money back right away.

They said a local would be calling me soon. So I called the contractor on Monday and they said their records showed it wasn't even ordered. I was concerned 'cause it was Thanksgiving.

All throughout our house upstairs, it seemed like one room was getting all of the airflow from the heater. And that room would be like 20 degrees hotter than my other rooms. I filed a claim to 2-10 and it was a pretty easy process. It’s just that when it comes to heating and air, there’s a certain company that I like to use. And when I first put in the request, I always got the company that I don't wanna use, so I have to go in and cancel the request, and then, call them. So, that was pretty much a hassle. I wish I could choose what company they dispatch first.
They sent out AC Design Heating and Air the first time. I had some issues with my thermostats, so they came in and they changed them out. When the guy left his work, he didn't clean up the area, and he didn't go into detail as to why the warranty wouldn’t be covered. He was just like, “No, they're gonna cover it.” And then, I don't like when they take the payment before they’ve done any work. But the other company that I use that I like is very professional. They clean up after themselves. They let you know exactly what they're doing and what’s the issue, why it’s covered, or why it’s not. So, it makes you feel really good about the warranty that you're paying for. So, when it covers like heating and air, that’s the company I always wanna go for.
Other than being able to change what company comes out, everything else has been pretty good. Being able to contact 2-10 has been pretty easy as well as getting on the website and putting in the request. They have like this process too when you log in to the website, you can see what your request is. They have this bar graph that you can actually see, so that’s pretty cool too.

I had a water heater claim with 2-10 and it went really well. The guy who came out was great. My wife even had to be there with him one day by herself and she was totally comfortable with him, and I was there with him while he was putting the water heater in. It took a little longer to put it in and inspect it, but everything went smoothly.
2-10 could only do so much, but the homeowners left us with a lemon. The water heater went out, the HVAC went out already, and I’ve got a four-month-old child at home who now has pneumonia. So, that was a problem, but we got that fixed. Last Saturday, we woke up in the morning and the kitchen floor was completely covered in water and the fridge was leaking. We had to shut all the water off to the fridge. So, we have no filtered water or ice and I don’t know where it’s leaking from because it’s not coming from the water lines. It’s coming from somewhere inside of the fridge. It’s kinda been a pain. We’ve been waiting.
We waited about four days to hear from the company that’s supposed to come out and diagnose the problem. And my wife called and she said she filed a complaint about it, but then the guy called me the next day. So, it was four days total that we waited to hear something, to schedule, and they’re supposed to come Thursday morning. With refrigerators, most of the time, especially with a side-by-side, they tend to cost as much in labor and parts than it does just to replace them. So, my suggestion will be if 2-10 is contracting with like GE and certain companies for refrigerators, if there’s a leak and the guy comes out and say, “Yeah, it’s leaking,” they should just replace the fridge because 2-10 is gonna pay.
I don’t wanna pay their guy $100 every time he comes to my house five or six times because by then I should’ve just went to Home Depot or Lowe’s and bought a new fridge. But that’s not why we have a home warranty because we can’t afford to buy a refrigerator. I’m not complaining about 2-10. I know their hands are tied with certain things, but with refrigerators and dishwashers, they're constantly being used and they're gonna wear off.
2-10 probably has tons of hundreds of people working for them as far as the claims department goes and the people that take the phone calls from customers like me. But I know people have good days and bad days. Some people that I’ve talked to have had great attitude, and some people that I’ve talked to have just kinda been like, “I don’t really care if we get this fixed or not, though. I’m just here to collect a check.” We deal with that everywhere. But 2-10 could have a more watchful eye for people that they hire.

I called on the 12th of November and told 2-10 that I have an issue with my freezer. I put the claim in and I didn’t hear anything until two days later. They came out and the guy told me that it was gonna be really expensive and he didn't think that it was gonna be replaceable because of the cost. I asked him if he was gonna recommend that to 2-10 so I would know what I'd expect and what the timeframe would be. He said that he would get the stuff in, which he did that Saturday. But I called 2-10 and they said that they didn't get it. It was a lot of back and forth there. The following week came and I called them to ask what was going on. They said that everything had been turned into purchasing and they were just waiting for them to respond on how to proceed.
Then all of a sudden, I got a phone call from a different contractor the following Wednesday and they said that 2-10 told them to call us for a refrigerator issue and they were asking what was going on. I was confused. I told them that I already had a contractor come out. They said that they would be out here to service it and that I had to pay them $100. I asked them what was the $100 for since I already paid for the service call. I told them not to come to my house because 2-10 didn't notify me, so I didn't know what was up. I called 2-10 right after that and the person said that they were assigning me a different contractor. I was upset 'cause I waited on the contractor and nobody told me that there would be a switch with the contractor. I had to find out myself for the most part.
I called the contractor back and told them to come. They came out three days later and they gave me the same type of evaluation as the first contractor said. So, I asked them what would that mean to me. The guy said that they would not be able to do anything until after Thanksgiving. I had been waiting since the 12th and I called 2-10 back to let them know. 2-10. Then they were just telling me all kinds of stuff. It was a nightmare.
Finally, this past Tuesday, they finally ended up sending me over the quote that I’ve been asking for. They asked me if I'd want them to give us a refrigerator to which they could get as close to ours as possible or they'd give us the money to buy our own. I looked at what they sent me and told them that it wasn't even what I got. I got a stainless steel one and they'd send me a black one. So I told them to just give me the money and I’d figure it out myself. I asked them to expedite the check because I had been waiting since the 12th, but they said that they couldn't and that it would take 5 to 10 business days. 2-10 hadn't helped me at all. I pay them monthly as I'm supposed to yet now that it has come a time when I need them, I'm getting the runaround. Now I’m waiting for this check to come. Hopefully, it comes as soon as possible.
This was my third claim in six years since I had the house. The other ones went much smoother where there was at least some communication. This time, the customer service is terrible ‘cause the communication was terrible. Even the people that I have spoken with there had no remorse and nobody tried to work with me. I should have known what was going on every step of the way, rather than me calling every second trying to get an update on something and always getting told different stories. It really puts me to a place where I’m done with 2-10. I was without a freezer for a whole month and I had to pay so much extra money out-of-pocket. It was a bit much.

Submitting claims with 2-10 has been pretty mediocre. The process is very documented and impersonal. It's certainly not a source of complaint, but if I were a company, I would try to improve it. After the expiration of my first contract, the one that was arranged by the real estate dealer, I did not renew right away. After a time, I was inundated, and beneficially so, with offers from 2-10 to sign up again. And there were benefits. Eventually, I took advantage of an opportunity to enroll when the sales were being offered. I had several conversations with their reps, but I ended up with a young lady who was very nice. She offered a plan that had a $50 initial payment to the first contractor that showed up and some other discounts. I signed up for that on the phone without any paperwork, because that's not the way they work. Their sales representative makes a representation and you agree to it and you pay with your money.
However, when I got my first claim against 2-10 under the new contract, $100 was required, which was totally contrary to my agreement with the rep. I wrote to their CEO about that, but I never heard from him. Perhaps there was some confusion about the $100 versus the $50, but not hearing from your president or one of his staff is unconscionable and inexcusable.
When I had a faulty water heater replaced, the contractor came out and I gave him his $100. Then he replaced the water heater. 2-10's contract said that it covers $250 worth of code requirements. But they also required me to pay the contractor $545 in code-required installations for that water heater. With the $100 initial payment to the contractor and the $545, I paid a total of $645 for code-required items on the water heater replacement.
I was a senior building inspector for 12 years and there is absolutely no $645 worth of code-required equipment in a replacement of a water heater. In my view, that's a scam. It's a way for 2-10 to pay the contractor out of the client's pocket at no charge to them and I really resent that. I was told if you complain, 2-10 tends to retaliate by ignoring or slowing the process of responding to your complaint.

My problem was with my wall oven which is all stainless steel. It can be fixed but the part won’t be in stainless steel anymore. It would be black and it’s a part that’s on the front of the oven. In the middle of a stainless-steel microwave and then in between them is the control panel and then the oven is below it, there’d be a black panel instead of a stainless panel. However, 2-10 doesn't replace units because of cosmetic reasons. If they can make something function, they’ll make it function no matter how it looks or they’ll give you the price that they would've paid the person to repair that towards me replacing it. So they’ve now decided to pay me what the repair would cost versus replacing the unit, which I totally understand. I’m not so sure I like that but it is what it is. They took care of me and everything seems to be fine. My wife and I figured we'll just wait and see what kind of sales come up after the first year and we’ll look at replacing the unit.

The most recent claim with 2-10 went fine but submitting a claim has been frustrating till I finally got somebody with some intelligence. In my kitchen exhaust fan claim, they wanted to get people from 50 miles away to take care of our problem. And the guy from 50 miles away didn’t know what he was doing. He took a picture of it, and left. He called me back, finally, and said they could put in two new motors or I could buy a new one. I told 2-10 to let me go get the guy from island who was 2 miles from my house, who has been here since 1954 and has a car and a lot of people for a lot of years. They wanted to know how much that was gonna cost. They were not gonna cost any more than the guy from 50 miles away. So, they said they would send a check for that amount. I said fine. That settled the problem.
The claim started back in the first of November and got settled this past week. But other than that, it was quick. Once they agreed, I got the check within a week’s time from when they said they were gonna mail it. They gave me the buyout option because I said having a guy come 50 miles away to fix this, that didn’t know what he was doing to begin with, was stupid. The local company came out, took a look and said I couldn't get the exhaust fan any longer, it was no longer being manufactured and two, I couldn't get the motors either so I had to put a new one in.
I had a claim for air conditioning, but again, I used the local service because they could come out that day. I didn’t have to wait for some company from god-knows-where to come out to take care of the air conditioning when the temperature down here was in the 90s and humidity was on the 100s. 2-10 is somewhere in Minnesota and I’m here in Florida. I think they get guys that have a lot of time on their hands because it’s all same. I understand how 2-10 get vendors that aren’t nearby.

He said that if we didn't get somebody there to let him in that day, that he could not come back on Sunday because his appointment was for Saturday at 11:00.
I got my son to come over, who lives about 20 minutes down the road, to let them in and pay them the $100 deductible.

It just went to their office number. So 2-10 sent somebody else out on that Friday.
The second contractor was unsure of what was wrong with it. He said it was one of two things, and that he could only submit one claim at a time. So he was gonna submit the first claim first. If that fixed it, then great. If not, then he would have to submit the second claim. But he could not do anything or put any parts on it until 2-10 sent him the parts. I still had not heard from anybody or seen anything the following week. My Realtor started calling and getting in touch with people. But nobody could give them any answers, just that it had to go through a process.
