They did exactly what they were supposed to have done in a very quick and timely manner, and I was very pleased with the service. This was my first claim, and I was blown away with how prompt everything was.

Submitting claims is pretty easy. I call and the reps have been nice and considerate. The most recent one was for a gas leak. The tech came out in three days and he was really nice. The only issue was the company closed at 4:00. That was messing up my work schedule and I had to take off from work a few days. They had to come out to do an estimate and then come back out and fix it. But everything’s fixed and good to go.

We had a claim with 2-10 and it was a very long process from start to finish. There were lots of phone calls and miscommunication. We called the purchasing department, and they told us to call somebody else. We didn’t really need a regular diagnostic because we already know what’s wrong with the stove, but the lady said he would wait for it. So, the people came out and did a diagnostic to make sure that the stove needed to be replaced. That situation got messed up. And my grandma was very upset about receiving her stove almost like six weeks later. I wish they were a little bit more clear and just communicated that it would take six weeks, instead of saying it would be the following week and they would get everything situated. They need to work on their communication and make sure they got a customer service team that’s competent and knows what they need to do.

The realtor gave 2-10 to me as a gift for closing on the property. But it was difficult to submit a claim. It took forever to get through to somebody on the phone. The phone system was awful. You go through so many automated selections. The contractors were good but the claim regarding the Freon split with the air conditioner was difficult because they couldn’t repair it, and 2-10 didn’t wanna pay for it. It was troublesome. I'm disappointed and will never to use them again.

When the tech came out, he said that he took some notes and then he took it back to the office, and I got a phone call back from Evans Appliance and said that they could not find the part. So, they got back with 2-10 and they sent me a check for the appliance, and I had to go out and buy a new one. I got the check about a week and a half ago, and I bought the other refrigerator a week later. The technician was good, but the one at the office that wasn’t so great. I had to call every other day trying to figure out what was taking so long because between the time that the tech came out and said that he was going back to order parts, that took about two weeks for them to tell me that they couldn't get a part.

The air conditioner didn’t work at all. It was hot back then. I did a service request to 2-10 online, and the response time was great for that. The technician was fine, and everything is good. The tech had to repair the compressor. They had to order it and he had to come back. I also had trouble with my central VAC. I filed a claim in August, and it didn’t get resolved until November. I ended up having to go out of service to get a provider for that. Other than that, everything has been great.

It's a long time to get what you need done, but they're fair. It took three days to get a hot water heater as they had to come out and see what the old one was. By the end of the third day, we had hot water again and everything is operating fine.

The first contractor 2-10 sent for my AC and heating did very well but it took him a week to get around to it. So, it was great when I found out that if I found somebody I could trust and understand that was closer, they could come out and do the work under their system. And so for the last two issues I've had with my AC and heating, I used the same company and they were able to come right out and do the job.
2-10 could do better about their contractors as far as not overloading them to where they are given so many contracts that it takes so long to get around to the customer. I feel that contractors who 2-10 knows to be doing a good job get overloaded, but they should try to spread it out. If they trust someone to be under their system, they should be able to spread it out where they can get to the jobs faster. There's a lot of people who might need service, and issues and things come up, but still, we had to wait a week for air. And if you've got somebody in your house who has medical issues, that's not too cool.

My oven was showing an error when you press the keyboard, so it couldn’t be used. I did a claim with 2-10 over the phone, and everything went fine. I paid the $100, and they paid the rest of it. The tech had to remove the controller and put a new one in there. It was hard to get the material, though. It took about five days for them to get the material.

The downstairs is still not heating up at all. The first guy did a shoddy job. He said that he fixed it, but he didn’t. He mentioned something about the wires. He said to move the wires in an organized type of way. I said okay and he wanted to go to Home Depot, but I had to go back to work that day ‘cause I was already away from work for two hours. 2-10 said they were gonna send out another guy but the only time this guy from a different company wants to come out was on the weekday. I can’t do a weekday unless it’s after 3:30. He said he can’t do that. I do need to reschedule and have another individual come out. For the toilet, I’ve had three people come out to try to fix it.

Submitting a claim with 2-10 was fast and easy and better than Old Republic, our previous warranty. The refrigerator claim went fine as well. The refrigerator got the two double doors up top, and then the drawer for the freezer. When we opened it up, there was something that was leaking out of the back of it into the freezer, and then it was becoming a sheet of ice, and then that sheet of ice was melting. The repair worked and there's been no more water leak. The contractor didn't say much and just said we were good to go. He was there for maybe 30 minutes. He came back out and he vacuumed underneath the fridge, which we had already done. We've had not had any issues since then.

I had a refrigerator claim and it took forever. The process was terrible. I thought to be without a refrigerator for a month was awful. I had to live out of an ice chest so that was not too good. They should expedite much faster than they did. I know they had a lot of orders but some things should be a priority, like an air conditioner or refrigerator. I wasn’t too happy but either they offered me money or replacement, and I took the money and bought one.
Filing a claim was also not good. I gave the people every time that I called, which was probably about seven times, my email address. And I, finally, after about the seventh time, got confirmation from 2-10 on that. I don’t know what the deal was, but I would give them my email address and they would never put it in the system. So, it seems that I’ve already gotten an email from them on the refrigerator about sending somebody out, but I haven’t heard anything since then. Also, I did call them about a stove that was not working properly. A guy came and looked at it, and he said it needed a new thermostat, and I haven’t heard anything from 2-10 about that and that was over a week ago.

I contacted 2-10 the following day to see if there was an update. After speaking with two customer service reps who gave me conflicting information, I then spoke to Diane who seemed more knowledgeable about my claim. She had received the recommendation from the service contractor who had inspected the heater. The recommendation was that the heater needed to be replaced, which I initially found encouraging. However, Diane put me on hold as she wanted to contact the contractor directly. When she came back, she advised that the claim was going to be denied as the heat exchanger cells had cracked before the service warranty was purchased on July 24. I asked how they could prove the cells were cracked before the coverage began since they didn't inspect the heater prior to July 24. Her response was that the heater needed to be in good working order before coverage began and if I wanted to contest the denial, I would have to get a "second opinion" from another contractor (at my expense) and if it differed from their contractor, they would have a third contractor inspect it to be the "tie breaker". Considering that it was November 26, two days before Thanksgiving, and there was no way of knowing how long this process was going to take, I had no choice but to replace the heater. I asked Diane if they would provide a written explanation for denial of the claim but she said they don't normally do that.
After I entered into a contract to have the heater replaced so my sister would have a warm home as the weather turned colder, I received a call the next day from Yvette Carreon from the Corporate Headquarters at 2-10. She told me that she had decided that they would honor the claim after all and that she would try to have a service contractor out as soon as possible. I explained that since I was told there was no coverage, I had no choice but to hire my own contractor to expedite getting heat in the condo. She said she understood and if I would send her a copy of the invoice, she would see how much she could reimburse me. I sent her the invoice, which was in the amount of $5,300. She has now offered to reimburse me $1,513, which is what the cost their service contractor would charge. Needless to say, I am extremely frustrated. They left me with no choice after Diane told me there was no coverage and I could not wait to replace the heater as extremely cold weather was heading for New Jersey. But since their motto seems to be "We don't provide speedy service, we just save you money", I'm not surprised with this result.
Original review:I purchased a condo in New Jersey in August and the seller purchased the homeowner's warranty provided by 2-10. My elderly sister lives in the condo. She had a heating contractor out to do routine checkup on the heater when the weather got cold. He told her the heat exchanger cells were leaking carbon monoxide and she could not use the heater. She called 2-10 and they sent a contractor out, who confirmed the diagnosis and that the heater needed to be replace. However, he told her due to the approval process, it would likely be 2 weeks before the heater would be replaced.
She called me crying that she would be without heat for two weeks. I called customer service and spoke to Sarah (no last name). She confirmed it could take two weeks to replace the heater. I told her it would be very difficult for my 71 year old sister to be without heat in the winter in New Jersey. She flippantly responded, "We don't provide speedy service, we just save you money". Needless to say, I was flabbergasted at this uncaring, cavalier attitude. I will be calling 2-10 several times a day, every day to see if this can be expedited but if everyone at 2-10 has the same attitude as "Sarah", I'm not optimistic. In the meantime, my sister will be sitting in her cold condo huddled around a space heater trying to stay warm.

I have an ongoing claim with 2-10 for my heating unit. It's been open for quite a while. It opened up on mid-November, and at first it took some time to do some research, then they said they were gonna replace the furnace. But I only found out through my HVAC person that they ordered the wrong one so they have to order another one. I called and it’s supposed to be in this week, so that means installation, hopefully, next week.
I complained to 2-10 this morning that there should’ve been a little bit more communication. But they said also that they had information up on the portal, which I haven't gone in and checked in recently either. I have no complaints with the contractors. The people they rely on are good. They normally have good ratings. I can’t speak enough about our HVAC person. He’s amazing. And 2-10 is not a bad home warranty as well. They do a good job. The portal’s very easy to use and whatnot. But what I’d like to see better, though, is a little bit more personal communication. I understand, going to the portal, everything is there, but have them just reaching out to say, “Hey, listen, we are working this. We’ve had a delay, and here’s what you can expect,” really doesn’t cost them much at all.

2-10 could improve their response time in getting people scheduled and getting them out. There have been other home warranty companies that I've worked with that are a little easier and quicker to get people out. My AC is an Apollo. It’s where your water heater cycles the hot water through a coil that gets blown over and that’s what heats the house. It was really slow to heat the house so when you wake up, it’s been running through for hours and then you get to take a cold shower in the morning.
The hardest part of submitting the claim was figuring out which system it was, especially on mine, because there aren't many Apollos there. I put in that I was having a heating issue. The first contractor who came out took one look and said that they couldn't touch it and that they'd call 2-10. 2-10 called me back and said that they were going to make sure that the next contractor who came would able to touch the system and more aware. The contractor who ended up going through it was very professional and did a thorough job of looking at it. He wasn’t able to solve the issue because we needed to replace the whole thing, front to back and we still haven’t made the final decision on what we wanna replace it with.

2-10 had somebody come out, and he ended up having to come a number of times. The fellow said that we needed a new furnace. At first, they were not going to do a new furnace. Then, a bunch of people talked and they said, "Oh, okay, we didn't have the right information," so they said they would do a new furnace. The contractor was very easy to talk to and he explained things to me. He answered my questions, and he apologized for not having the right part or that it was taking so long. We didn't have any heat for all that time and it was cold here, so I wish it would not have taken so long. But, sometimes, it is what it is. Overall, things went well with the claim.

The drive motor of my garage door was messed up. It wasn’t too long until 2-10 sent somebody out. However, they couldn’t find the motor to replace mine. The contractor told me he was gonna get the parts and come back. I called him a couple of times, and he said he’d be here the afternoon or sometime that afternoon, and it didn’t happen. It was a good two weeks, and finally he called me one night and said he was coming over and fix the garage door. I told him to be sure to fix it because I use that door when I go out all the time. My front door is about five steps down. Since I had 2-10 I had a couple of thing repaired. Earlier this year, they had to replace my water heater and they worked on it right away. But it took a bit to get it out of that little hole, and the contractor said they do not dismantle doors. So, I had to get somebody to do that myself to get the water heater out.

The plumbing guy came out for the water heater, looked at it, and then he had to go back. So in the end, it took about a week before I got a new water heater and everything hooked up. That’s the only part that I wasn’t exactly happy with. We didn’t have any hot water in the house for a while. I have the standard plan with 2-10. So there was a bunch of stuff that was not included, and the water heater had to be approved. That took a day by itself to do. So they could try to speed the process up, with approvals and the turn time from start to finish. But outside of that, they took care of the water heater and everything was good.

The plug-in in my bathroom stopped working and then the other bathroom also stopped, and then the washing machine’s receptacle stopped working. I called my friend who helped me find the house and she told me to call the warranty company. I was a little surprised there because they didn’t have an electrician in their network. They told me I would have to pay a $100, and then when I called, they told me I had to pay the electrician and then they would gonna reimburse me, which they did, but it was a little inconvenient at that moment. The people I bought the home from found me an electrician. When the electrician came out, I gave him the $100, and then he had to come back the next day and fixed it. When he came back, I gave him the rest of the money.
2-10 should have an electrician. It should be one of the first and foremost things that they would have in the network. Also, I didn’t know until I called them for a service that there was the possibility I would have to pay. When I purchased it, they said I just have to pay a $100 and it would fix my issue. And I didn’t realize that that meant I might have to pay the whole bill until it happened. My bill was about $400. Other than that, they did everything they said they were gonna do, and everything is working good.

The heater claim with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty went good. The furnace wasn't working. It had a burning smell and it wasn't heating. I made the claim and they came out a couple of days later. The tech that they sent out was very good. He was able to diagnose it. It ended up that the blower motor had to be replaced. He had to go back to the shop to call and get approval. He was able to do that that same day. So, he came back a couple of hours later and got it fixed. It is working good now.
The claim about my dryer that wasn't working was much worse. The guy came out and he needed to replace the cable in the back. If I didn't have 2-10, I would have called in, spent the same $100, and it would have been done in 10 minutes that day. Instead, he didn't fix it, so he left with the dryer not working. And then just to get the approval to come back, it ended up taking a week that we didn't have a dryer. So, 2-10 really should have a policy that allowed him to go ahead and do that $15 repair without making him go and get approval and ended up having to wait several days. It happened around the weekend too. So, he came on Thursday and then couldn't come back 'til Monday or Tuesday. It was just a $6 cable. If I wasn't so mad about already having spent $100, I would have done it myself. Based on that, it's unlikely that I'll renew with 2-10.

There was an issue with the electric water heater. It had some rust spots underneath it which caused it to drip into the pan that had a crack. I had to have a new water heater.

We had a water detection alarm set in the pan underneath the water heater and it went off. The water heater was leaking and the alarm gave us warning enough to call 2-10 before we were flooded.

We were able to drain the tank and turn off the heater, and we just went without hot water for a few days. We’ve used 2-10 a couple of times and had no complaints.

Our washer was not going through all the cycles, so 2-10's contractor came out and fixed it. The problem was not solved on the first time that they came out, though. They had to add a different part, and the washer has been working fine since. That took about 30 days because a part was on backorder. We were also without heat for 30 days when we had an issue with the heating. 2-10 and the contractor pointed fingers at each other about getting a backordered part. I would call 2-10 and they would call the contractor, but I don't hear from the contractor. I gave up calling. We just waited it out until we actually heard something. So, they're not the greatest, but they got it fixed.
2-10 definitely needs better communication. If there's any issue with meeting parts, then they should let us know. I don't feel like I should have to call them or the contractor to see what's going on. I also noticed that if I go back on my online portal, the claims that have been finished come up as customer cancel. I've asked them about that and I was told that that's just what the system does. As a paying client, I don't really like seeing that because I know I didn't cancel it. They should have a different way that they close out a finished claim, like completed, not canceled by clients. Lastly, I'm not loving the service fees that are higher than what we paid another company in the past. This warranty was given to us by the sellers of the home, and I don't think I'll keep it after a year.

We’ve had 2-10 for 10 years with three different houses and rental houses. My wife is a realtor and she also uses 2-10 whenever she’s making transactions and that’s because of the local representative here. It’s fairly efficient and straightforward when submitting a claim. We normally call in because we’ve been using them for so long. There are contractors we have used in the past and who we don’t want to use anymore, and 2-10 accommodates that pretty well, which is probably the main reason we stay with them. We’ve been using the same AC person for years and they allow us to continue to use them.
We had a terrible experience with one of the contractors. The last plumber was fine but the plumber before that was horrible. They were working on a couple of issues in the house with leaking showers, and they determined that one reason with the problems was that the original water heater which is a 1996 was going out. 2-10 agreed to replace that. They replaced it and then three days later, the new water heater failed and caused flooding in our bedroom and closet. So now, we’ve got damaged. The bedroom, closet, carpet, paint and walls are still getting repaired.
They brought another water heater out and about five days later, that one stopped working. The plumber blamed it on the gas company, on everyone. And finally, the gas company came out and checked everything and they said it was the water heater. The plumber came back out, still arguing it was not the water heater and not being very professional, left trash laying around. They replaced the water heater and it’s been working since, so it was the water heater that was the problem. We are in the process of getting the house put back together and we’re going to submit the cost to them and they have agreed to pay to repair the house. We've also had a refrigerator repairperson come out and took the parts and never came back one time. But 2-10 are good when we call about those things. They correct it quickly just like with those plumbers where they took action quickly and continued to follow-up with us.

I called, but he doesn’t answer. 2-10 should make sure the contractors that they hire are contractors that are gonna fulfill whatever 2-10's mission statement is, so their customers and clients will be satisfied. When the contractors make that commitment to 2-10, then they are representing 2-10's name. And we look for 2-10. We don’t look for the contractor.

I put in a claim for a gas water heater with 2-10 online, and then I followed up with a phone call an hour later. The customer service was good when I was talking to them. However, my claim took a little too long. I put in the claim on Friday and the water heater was replaced the following Wednesday. I didn't have hot water that whole time. It seemed like the weekend was an issue. I'm not sure if it was with the contractor or with 2-10, but they made it sound like to get approval from 2-10, it was gonna take at least 24 to 48 business hours, which would have been the following week. But my claim went pretty well, the vendor was good and they were all nice.

When water was leaking from under the refrigerator, I submitted an online claim with 2-10. The tech came out the next day. He was quick and thorough. He had to order a part, but he came back out within the week to fix the refrigerator. However, he couldn’t fix it and said that is was too old. So 2-10 gave me money to replace it. We also used it with our air conditioner, which has been okay ever since.

I've had 2-10 for 17 years on this home alone. I normally submit claims online and it's easy. Although I try to use the website to do an inquiry and check status, and it doesn’t work for that. No one ever calls back. And it really is the luck of the draw with contractors. I’ve had some contractors that are not very good. I went for a month trying to get my ice machine repaired because the contractor I had didn’t know what they were doing. 2-10 had to switch contractors and got me with someone who knew how to diagnose the problem. Then, when both of the ovens went out, I was told originally that they would have to order parts. We then received a phone call that those parts were not available and that we would be getting new ovens. And then, we got a call from another contractor who came out, and they pulled the circuit board and sent it in to be repaired. That one took about three weeks from start to finish to be repaired.

My latest claim with 2-10 was a bit of a mess. Their contractor came to fix my heating, and after he fixed it, he charged me 400 and some dollars. He said he didn't think it was gonna be covered, and misrepresented what the unit was to 2-10 probably because he wanted to get paid more. He got an attitude with me when I was upset that he said he could take the part out then I could call somebody else. I fought for it and eventually 2-10 agreed that it was a unit that should’ve been covered. They reimbursed the money that I had to give the contractor, which I got within a week. But I had to give him money that day, so I was not really pleased with that service.
I had another claim, which was for the fridge, and the 2-10 contractor was good. Although I still had an issue on that one with the time. It took over a month for somebody to realize that they hadn't even ordered the part. What happened was, 2-10 called me about renewing my contract and I told the rep that I really didn’t know how I feel about that because it has not been a very good experience. Aside from the mess with the heater, I told the rep that I had a guy come out a month ago to fix my fridge but it has not been fixed and I haven't heard anything. He checked on it and said that it looks like the part was just ordered. That kinda lit a fire under their butt, and they got the part out here and refunded the $100 deductible. So, they're fixing the issues, but the problem is there was an issue on both times.

We wanted a warranty for protection as we bought our own house and we've been with 2-10 for three years now. Setting up a claim is easy to do and easier than some that I've had before, especially when you're dealing with third parties and having to call and get something set up. It's usually pretty quick. The online process was a little quicker versus having to call in, sit on the phone for someone, and explain all the details.
We've had a good experience with everyone of the contractors too. Everyone of them has been friendly. When the heating system wasn't heating the house when we went through a cold snap, we called 2-10 and had them take a look at it and set us up. Now, the heating system is good so far. Overall, it has been a solid experience with 2-10 and we've been satisfied. But there are a couple of things that they can probably simplify for the overall end user like by having a simple button or link in their website that says "Make a claim. Here's how you do it," to make the process easier. There are thousand things that you can go to in their website.

I've been with 2-10 since I bought my house. It's my first home purchase so I was a little bit nervous. The real estate agent set it up with the seller and the seller paid for it with the closing of the house. Submitting a claim is very easy, but the first one was a little confusing because I didn't understand what my coverage was just based on the documentation that was provided to me in the closing. I had to pull back up and find out what was covered, what wasn't and get my own registration packet.
When I used the service, I called and the contractors came the next day. The contractors were very professional and did a great job. They replaced a quarter valve underneath the kitchen sink where it was leaking. I ran the water but I didn't notice that it was still leaking by the garbage disposal until after they left. I then put everything back underneath the kitchen sink and went to Walmart. When I came back, it was late at night and the guy still picked up the phone. The next day, he had his secretary call me and she did the appointment right away.
However, they can only come at a certain time. Normally, I would never book appointments with technicians when I'm not present in the house. But I felt like they were professional and trustworthy. They came the next day and fixed it and replaced the garbage disposal. They left my receipt on the counter and everything was perfect. They called me every step of the way. I was at work and they did all this for me. I was really happy and I love them. 2-10 is a very good company and I'm planning on renewing it when it comes up in a year. Being a single female, a new homeowner and not knowing where to go and what to do, just knowing that everything is taken care of by the company is 100% such a relief for me.

They were supposed to fix my air conditioner, and they had me have somebody come out and get it and fix it because they couldn’t find anybody to come out.

They were like, “It’s not even that cold in Colorado, so you probably haven't even used your furnace that much.” That’s not cool. We get really good warm days here, but there has been some really cold days. And I was without heat for about three weeks. They shouldn't warranty something they're not gonna cover. And I told them, “How could you be proud of what you’re doing if you don’t back up what you say you’re gonna do?" I was mad. I had to go back to the person who got the home warranty for me, and they had to go to their rep. And then, when the rep got involved, she was amazing. She said they would cut me a check.

We had a homebuyers warranty with another company, but they went up on the prices, so we started looking around, and decided to go with 2-10. Usually, Sears works on our appliances. But most of the time, we have to go out of network and use our own contractors. We’re having a problem now though. On October 28th, the control board went out on our double oven and we have been trying to get it fixed since then.
The technician 2-10 sent out was not reputable and wouldn’t stay in touch with me. He said that his supplier was having trouble getting the part so I turned it over to 2-10. They tried to find the part but were unable to get it so they decided that they were going to buy me out. They want to pay me a check for $700 and have me be stuck with the rest of it. I would rather that they find the double oven wholesale, buy it and ship it to me.
For the most part, we have been glad that we have 2-10 because of the outages and breakdowns that we’ve had. Up until now, the only problem that we've had out of 2-10 is with the oven. It’s a major one though. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have no oven so I am very disappointed. I’m also very disappointed with 2-10 because of all the thousands of dollars that I’ve paid them.

Everything went well after that, but then I talked to 2-10 and asked them to pay me for that because it was the same unit and I spent 150 times three. They said that they could not do that and I was a little unhappy about that. I wish I had known it. I should have read the fine print. That’s unfair to me but when you cannot, you cannot.

2-10 company spent three weeks jerking me around, and then remembered that they don't cover the claim. They said they would fix the drywall to a rough state. I got the lady to check. She triple checked. So, everything should be covered. Also, I can’t believe how many phone calls I had back and forth trying to get people out there. And then I talked to one of 2-10's supervisors at one point who said, “No, it’s not covered.” That had gone on for hours so I was actually in my car driving. Him alone had lost the contract. I wasted three weeks. We have tenants in the house so that was a huge embarrassment for us. If 2-10 couldn’t cover it, if I had talked to somebody who said it was not covered for whatever reason, I can deal with that and I would deal with that very differently. I’ll be switching from 2-10.

I have been a customer with 2-10 for over 13 years and this is the second bad experience with them. I placed service request on October 6, 2019 due to my double oven stopped working. The contractor came out 3days later & he stated all parts for my oven were discontinued and I would need to get a new oven. 2-10 searched and sent a part to contractor & the contractor came out to my home again and it was not the right part. He stated again the parts are discontinued & he would let 2-10 know & they need to order me another oven.
I’ve received multiple phone calls with various stories from 2-10 & today they gave me a choice to have the contractor come back to my home, remove the oven to get the computer board to send off for repair & this will take 2-4 weeks or they will give me $650 towards a new oven, grant I have the “supreme coverage” but they're not honoring it because they find the parts for repair. Customer service rep Janelle had the audacity to have an attitude with me when I told her this was unreal and unfair to me. I have been without an oven for 7 weeks and this is the kind of treatment I get. I asked for a supervisor. She stated she was as high as I can get. I told her everybody reports to someone then she said her supervisor was out on vacation. I asked for the stand in supervisor. She said she didn’t know who that would be.
At this point she was blocking me from talking with her supervisor. I just hung up on her. I called back. I talked with the customer service department again and was told no supervisor was available. I hung up again. Talked with the purchasing department. They couldn’t help. I’m pissed to the hilt!!! When my contract ends in March 2020 I’m canceling my contract!!! I pay $100 a month for 13 1/2 years & this is how I’m treated. Seriously!

We had some crappy contractors from 2-10 back-to-back. We had a guy come out to do some plumbing repairs. He was in a rush and didn't wanna look at anything else. He just said that he had to go. After that, he didn't recaulk the toilet bowl until I brought it to his attention. And after he recaulked the toilet bowl, he left all the trash in the sink and on the fixtures.
When we submitted a claim for the air conditioning, the gentleman told us one thing and then hit us with extra fees. We wound up paying $300 for a coil and some code upgrades and to this day, we have no idea what code upgrades were done. Originally, we were told that we had to pay $89 and that we were covered. Then we were told that we were not covered. At that point, what were we covered for?
I also asked the third-party vendor to give me a breakdown of what we were paying for. They sent me an email and it still wasn't itemized. I was trying to do my research so that I could hold them accountable but we couldn't get any information out of them.

I have 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a couple of properties. There was one recent claim and the people that they brought on board to represent were 2-sta0r individuals. I often just went ahead and paid out of pocket. We purchased three rental properties and so you get the home warranty for the first year. But with the way things have gone, we'll probably just go out of pocket and pay for a reputable company to come do it once. The problem is not on 2-10 though. I get that there's gotta be margins to be made and it's gotta be profitable somehow, but they have individuals that can't get business unless it's referred to them through a claims department.
I definitely have reached out to 2-10 about it. I haven't seen the check yet, but for the last claim, the gentleman who came to do a plumbing repair ended up chipping away our bathroom tile. It was something that we just caulked because it was a cosmetic thing. There was a quote of x amount of dollars, but 2-10 doesn't cover cosmetics. So, they just deferred me to take it up with the company, which the company didn't care. So, 2-10 gave me the $100 refund. Their customer service reps have been nice. You just hope that it's an easy fix because if it's anything skillful, like the one with my AC unit where we called them four different times in the spring. I'm worried now that I don't know what they've done.
The contractors that they've sent out haven't all been bad. You put most of the blame on the individual that built the home that we bought it from because it shouldn't have any issues. 2-10 have reported issues, they said they logged it in and they dispatched it to a company. I don't know if there's a full bulletproof system in place to pass that along to the company and to the person that was dispatched because it seems like a lot of times, I just have to retell the story. We've had 2-10 for two years and then we let it run out. And then, we have three rental properties that we've purchased in January in this calendar year that all have one-year 2-10 contract to it. It will all be coming up in February. Overall, 2-10 has been good. You'd roll the dice and hope your water heater or AC unit doesn't give out and you really need a huge repair, but for the minor stuff, you may be able to get away with that just by calling the company directly.

I had one gentleman from there who was claiming that I was going to have to pay out of pocket and that they were not going to cover because it was a different repair than what they thought it needed to be. So, we had to have a discussion about explaining what the actual problem was and what needed to be fixed. It was about a four-week process and I was fairly dissatisfied with the timeframe, but he ultimately agreed to cover everything and it worked out.
We had to send out three different companies: one was on our own terms and two were through 2-10. The first one was not a good company at all and they were trying to take advantage of us. And so, I was disappointed the warranty company was working with them. When we had to send out somebody else, it was done through a phone call.

I started with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty when I bought the house in 2012. When I moved again in 2016, I just kept it because I was by myself and if something breaks, I need somebody to fix it. I've only had one claim since then, which was just recently, and that was disappointing, to put it mildly. I was only reimbursed for a portion of the well pump that I had to replace. My understanding was that it was covered because I paid extra for it, and then I only got reimbursed like a third of what I had to pay out.
We didn't have water, so I needed somebody right then, and it was a Saturday. I called 2-10 because I thought you had to have permission. And the person I spoke to told me that it was fine to call a contractor to fix it and that I would only get reimbursed 500. But I thought I would get something back from my homeowners to make me whole. But that didn't work out either. We have a lot connections locally, so I knew who could fix it. I asked the 2-10 rep if I needed pre-authorization, but she said no, just go and have it fixed and then submit the claim. That house was built in '78 so that was why I got insurance thinking I'd be covered. But they classified it as wear and tear so it didn't cover $500.
If I put my well pump on there, I think my well pump's covered, but it wasn't. It doesn't include the wiring and the pipe and all the parts that makes the pump run. So, how it was sold was misleading. It was not inexpensive. I was paying over $100 a month. That was why I cancelled it. I paid out nearly four grand and I only got $500 back. Furthermore, after we called, the contractor, Rooterman, said that they would refuse to file with 2-10 because it was such a hassle and they never get their money. I had to pay and then I had to do the claim. So evidently, they've had bad experiences as well.

I've had 2-10 since 2006. They’re good. Throughout my years, 2-10 had been great. But the last few individual that have taken care of different services for me, they did a very poor job. When they went out to troubleshoot my air conditioner, they misdiagnosed it. So it took them to send two other people out there to get it fixed. And it took almost 30 days for them to get somebody out there to get it done and that was just one company. So I was disappointed in that. I called the owner of 2-10, the manager, and explained it to him. When they sent the contractor out there, as soon as the person left, the AC broke right back down. But the second person they sent out there finally got it right.
The second guy was able to fixed it right off the bat. It was the blower. The first guy said it was nothing. He said nothing about the blower. He didn’t really do his job. As soon as he walked out of the house, my tenant tried to catch him. It went right back down. He didn’t check anything. He said, “Oh, it was blockage.” Now, that was the only issue I’ve had with them, the two times they did that right there. Other than that, I haven’t really had an issue with them. 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty should make sure everybody they hire to work for them as contractors are qualified, that’s gonna actually go out there and get the job done. Because, they tried to charge me with another $75 just to get that second person out, but they waived it. The guy called and said, “No, sir. I’m sorry. We’re not charging you.”
2-10 also need to make sure they get the people that they hire out there quick. I rent the house off. My tenants there had a child that has asthma and it was really hot. The air conditioner weren’t working upstairs and the husband was deployed. He’s a serviceman. It seemed like they didn’t really care. I said, “Why don’t you all call somebody else that could get off there quickly?” I was told, “No, we already got our own.” 2-10 should be flexible to be able to call somebody else if they can’t get nobody out there. It was hot. The house was 85, 90 degrees. So, my tenants slept downstairs. I will recommend for them to look into other companies, some that are 24 hour-claims. So far, everything is working great.

In the last couple of years, there were too many times where the contractors came out immediately and diagnosed the problem, but I had to wait for a part to be ordered. And more than half the time, they come back out but it was the wrong part. Almost every time, 2-10 confirms that they got the correct part order sent in from the people doing the work, but they ordered the wrong part.
I had a problem once with the AC, which took three weeks for them to fix, but it was upstairs so that didn't affect me as much. That was the first sign that something was going wrong. And then, with the washing machine, it took four weeks or slightly over. That affected me a lot, but I was at least able to take my laundry down and have it done. 2-10 told me multiple times that they were gonna reimburse me for the receipts I sent in, but I haven't gotten the check yet. But with the AC downstairs going out and being out for three weeks, it was horrible. That's our main for the floor we live on and my master bedroom's there.
Looking back, I pay 90 bucks a month, which means I've paid them around $12,000 in 13 years. And I'm not willing to keep paying if every time something serious happens, it takes a month. I could sock that money away and have things fixed immediately instead of waiting. Now, I'm doing a cost-benefit analysis and I never cared before.
A long time ago, they had standards, like if they can't do such and such within so many days, they will replace. Now, the only metric they have is that I will get a phone call within 24 to 48 hours from the people who are gonna do the work to schedule the appointment. But that appointment could be for a month out. I haven't had a problem with how soon they come out for the first call, but after that, there's no deadline. It can just be back and forth, waiting for ordered parts and then a wrong part comes in. And without any required time, it could go indefinitely. There's no accountability on any end. All I can do is sit and wait. After all these years, I am seriously considering dropping them. It has been a horrible last couple of years.

I just submitted a claim with 2-10 and it was very easy and fast. I did it over the phone and the rep was very prompt, intuitive and easy to talk to. Also, the contractors' service was excellent. Everything was cleaned up and very professional. I got a buy-out, and the check was FedExed to me. As a whole, the claim was handled very well.

When I bought my house, part of the deal was that the guy would buy us a home warranty. He chose 2-10 and we liked them for the first year so we renewed it for one more year. Then this year, we actually decided not to get it because we got everything fixed and we don't need it. But they answered every time we called and when we had a question, they seemed knowledgeable for the most part. Also, my wife doesn't like to talk to people on the phone so the fact that 2-10 has the option to submit claims online where you don't have to talk to people is nice. It's actually super easy to do online too. You log in and just fill out the little form then they'll give you a call within the timeframe that they say on the email. There is one contractor that they sent out that was kind of "eh" but I told 2-10 I don't want him anymore so when I had the issue for the same thing, they didn't send him out. Otherwise, the contractors were fine.

The claim that I filed with 2-10 went really well. I did it online and it was super easy. I filed it on a Friday night, so it did take until Monday morning for somebody to come out. But it wasn’t an emergency, so it was handled very quickly. I sent 2-10 a message on Monday afternoon because I hadn’t heard from the contractor yet. Once they told me who the contractor was, I went ahead and reached out to them directly instead of waiting for them to call. They scheduled for the next day and then beyond that, they told me what needed to be done and that they would call me when the part came in, because a whole part needed to be ordered. They called me the day it came in, and they came out the next day and fixed it. I was satisfied with the time frame.

I’m a real estate agent with Keller Williams and 2-10 was a big presence in my office so I decided that when my other warranty came up, I would give 2-10 a shot. Submitting claims is easy for me. It has been a learning process, but overall, the experience has been okay. When the contractor said that my dryer could not be repaired and had to be replaced, I called 2-10. There were some back-and-forth phone calls and I had to hold through every phone call. The agent put me on hold and got the contractor on the phone. She confirmed with him what was wrong and then she told me that the cash in lieu would be an option for me. Then she went on to say that it would be 7 to 10 days before I even get an email. I’m not gonna wait another couple of weeks to get a dryer so I asked if it was safe to buy a new machine. I purchased what I wanted, instead of waiting for them to reimburse me for something.
The cash in lieu offer came in via email, which stated that I had to call to accept or decline. So I called that department and accepted the cash offer. It was a lot lower than what a dryer costs, but I understand depreciation. However, the process was a little difficult. I’m good with follow-up, but my clients may not be that great with it and they may become frustrated. The biggest problem was that the contractor stopped returning phone calls and texts.
I’m also a little concerned about how my plumbing claim is going to go. What I had going on in my bathroom required a general contractor and the way I understand it is that 2-10 will pay to restore the wall to a rough finish. I had to get my contractor to write me a specific invoice just for that. Then I still have to submit that to the email 2-10 have provided me with. Hopefully, that process will go quickly. Who 2-10 chooses to do business with and the follow-up on their end could be improved. I’ve been the one to call them every single time I needed something. It shouldn’t be the client who always has to reach out over and over repetitively.

When we file a claim with 2-10, it could be a great experience or it could be a nightmare depending on who we get on the phone. Their reps are either knowledgeable or they have no idea what they're doing. We can also do our claim online, but then it depends on if their site’s working. It’s either a good day or a bad day, never in between. And as far as I’m concerned, the contractors they use can’t be licensed because they're just ignorant. 2-10 should get vendors that are competent in making a repair. But the reason why they can’t find anyone is because they don’t pay their vendors. Let’s say, it costs 950 to replace the water heater. 2-10 is only going to pay the contractor $450. Nobody’s gonna work for that, so you’re gonna get what you pay for. I’m now in the process of transitioning out from them to another company.

2-10 was included with my paperwork from my lawyer and mortgage company. The first issue I had was not successful as I was needing air conditioning work. I filed my claim with a phone call and I was told it would be three weeks. The claims person should have realized that three weeks was unacceptable and found, on her own, another provider that 2-10 uses. I was surprised that they did not offer that. This was in the height of summer when it was 95 plus, which means I had to go through my real estate agent to find somebody else for me.
The next time that I went through 2-10 was for another issue with the air conditioning again, but a remedy was given to me within a few days. The people that came to service me were professional and thorough, and they explained the job. They were up on the roof dealing with the air conditioning unit, and whatever they did has remained fixed. So, I am assuming that they did a good job. I paid the $100 deductible and I had no issues with them.

For submitting a claim, I'm not really pleased with 2-10 Warranty. I don't feel that a lot of the stuff is covered properly. They don't enclose the information like what isn't covered or what is covered. Like if you have a plumbing issue, plumbing shouldn't be covered or not covered because it is a slab-encasement or they would say they only pay 500 for concrete slab. But it's a warranty. If I got a leak from my shower that's behind the wall, that should be covered, period. I wasn't pleased with the coverage and there are too many stipulations as to liabilities and legalities that didn't cover certain things. If they're gonna cover the shower valve, then they should cover the whole repair, and not just say that they're only gonna give me 500 because of the slab and they're not gonna pay for the drywall. If the contractor has to bust out the concrete, they're only gonna pay 500. That's just ridiculous to me.
They send the cheapest contractors because that was exactly what happened when they sent the plumber. This recently happened. I had a leak and they sent a plumber out, and the plumber couldn't find where it was coming from in the house. Then cut two holes in my wall, couldn't find it, and said it was definitely a slab or encasement. 2-10 then sent an entire new plumbing team out to do the same exact thing. So they came out, couldn't find the leak, and did the same troubleshooting that I already told them. The rep said they were gonna have a leak detection kit out here. I lost a whole week of work dealing with that when they just didn't take my word for it and they sent out another plumber and another plumber. It was a little ridiculous.
If the rep have just listened to the first plumber that was out there and brought out a leak detection team, we coulda identified it. Once the leak detection guy came out, he found the leak. But I had two plumbers come out to tell me the same exact thing. It was not a good experience for me. I don't like the way that they handled me, and the way that they spoke to me or gave me information. It was awful customer service. You pay money for a service and you should be provided that service. But I don't feel that I was provided that service and I felt that they were trying their best to get out of paying, as opposed to trying to fix my leak and salvage my carpet and my home.

My claim with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty regarding my dryer went well. It took them three weeks to fix, but eventually they fixed it. The issue was the availability of the technician to come out to my house. Basically, they were fully booked for weeks. When we were able to schedule one, the tech called in sick. That was why it took a bit longer, but it was done. When we have a claim, we hope to get it resolved within a week because some things are just too essential in the house. I have kids and I have to do the washing and the drying. But since I didn't have the dryer, I had to go out and be somewhere or use a commercial one, which was inconvenient.

Filing a claim with 2-10 is pretty simple and doing it online is much easier. They respond quickly to us. It's less than 24 hours before somebody tells us that a service call is coming out. It depends on the day but during the week, we get a message back that somebody will be coming within an hour or two or less than that. We haven’t had any issues with this part of the claims process, although we had a couple of issues with the contractors.
We had a real struggle in the beginning when we first had a couple of ones out. In fact, one came once and did the evaluation then never came back to do the work. That was for our HVAC and that was pretty poor. We knew we had to follow 2-10's policy but by the time I did that and the person never returned to do the work, 2-10 quickly got someone out and they were very good. 2-10 is very good about following up and making sure that we're happy with what we've experienced. If we're not, then they do their best to change it. We had multiple service calls for certain things and 2-10 is so good that they made sure that it was the same contractor that came out to treat whatever the problem was, which was also good. It was not like I was dealing with different ones. They worked on the unit.
When we had issues with our first round of contractors that 2-10 assigned to us and I called them to tell them that we read reviews online and we were really not happy with the one they assigned to us, they usually presented another option. I'm sure they don’t want that publicized that they will do that for you, but I kinda wish they would vet a little bit sooner on who their people are and we wouldn’t have to go through that trouble. This happened twice but it worked out.
Unfortunately, with the person who bailed on us, the claim was for an HVAC that was leaking. That was not something that you wanna wait a few days for. The contractor we have now is great, but it just took us going through three different companies before 2-10 found the one that was a good one. We're moving again in the next two years so we are either probably gonna offer 2-10 or recommend that others use it. I've had friends with other warranty systems but we are glad we have who we have. We also have the extended coverage. We have the HVAC and more of the appliances in the house.

We’ve had the 2-10 warranty for 15 years that we’ve been here in the house. When we first moved in, it was kinda pushed on us for one year, and then we could drop it. And then, it was like, “Hey, we have a problem with this. We have a problem with that.” And we just paid. Back then, it was 50 bucks, then now, we just pay $75 for their contractor to come out.
The only thing I’m not happy with it is that it would still cost us about 400 dollars for stuff like disposal fee when we have claims. If you’re paying a warranty, that should be covered. We’re paying almost $62 a month, then we had to pay the 75, and it was like 385 on top for disposal fee and cleaning the coils. When we had a problem with the water heater, which was a brand new water heater put in a year ago, it cost us like $200 or $300, which they said was because it’s not up to code from when we first moved in. Still, we have saved money having the 2-10 warranty because we’ve had issues with the AC over the years. And we have two units. The most recent claim we had was for the AC, and we used the same AC company we've used all the time because they’re really good at what they do. Cahaba Air is always on time and extremely professional. They seem to go above and beyond. We enjoy dealing with them.

Overall I've had a positive experience with 2-10; when things can be fixed. However, when the appliance they can't fix and agree to replace (after almost 3 months of trying) they want to replace it with the cheapest possible alternative rather than even coming close to an actual replacement. My 3 year old high end Kitchenaid French door refrigerator kept breaking and I was forced to use frozen water bottles to keep it cool enough to store any food (have a freezer in the garage).
The original sticker price on the refrigerator was close to $4,000 (we built our dream kitchen in 2016). With Black Friday around the corner I saw an ad for the same model for $3,200. 2-10 offered me a replacement of a low quality side-by-side or $1200 and then compared the refrigerator to a car being driven off a lot and losing all value. They then pointed out that in the contract they only say they would replace based on capacity and efficiency so I should be happy I was getting anything at all. So bottom-line. After 3 years with 2-10 they are good at some stuff but I would look elsewhere if you have higher end appliances since they even admit that they replace function not brand, quality, aesthetics, etc... Anyone with upgraded homes may want to find other warranty companies to consider.

In July of 2019, I called 2-10 to fix my oven as covered by my warranty. The entire process has been riddled with issues. The communication 2-10 gave was sporadic at best with myself, and virtually nonexistent with the contractor. The results were crossed lines on who had what piece, whether or not it was lost or unfixable. It took until October for them to figure out they needed to replace the unit. Then it took them another month and a half to get anywhere near replacing it. It's November 2019, Thanksgiving is next week and I still don't have an oven.

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with my home when I purchased it back in 2009. The coverage was for structure and then I purchased the additional coverage at that time. I did leave 2-10 for about six months because my premium got so high that I went with a different company. But I filed one claim with this other company and ended up having to pay over $600 out of my pocket. So I dropped them and went back to 2-10. Submitting a claim with 2-10 is very easy.

A&D Appliance figured out that the dishwasher could not be fixed, and I couldn't wait two months to get a new dishwasher. The person that I talked to at 2-10 said that it would have to go before the committee. He had already gotten the report from A&D Appliance, and they didn't know how much money they would allow for a new dishwasher. So I went ahead and bought the dishwasher and got it installed. And then I called again this past week and the guy told me that since I did not go through 2-10 to get the dishwasher, they won't pay anything. But nobody told me that. I am very, very disappointed. Their warranty stinks.
I also had a claim for the stove. The sensor light showed that the stove burners were hot even though it hadn't been used, so they replaced the knobs and did something else. Now, the hot surface light doesn't come on at all. But that's not a big problem. I'm still waiting for A&D to get the part to fix the refrigerator because the ice maker works fine, but it will not dispense the ice because they had to order the flap that goes in there. I talked to Melissa earlier this week and she said that she would check on it and call me back. But the deal with the dishwasher is a no deal for me. I would never recommend 2-10.

Original Review: Nov. 20, 2019
Everything went okay with my claim with 2-10. What happened was I called my normal handyman to check something else out. There might be a small leak because my last guest told me there was some leak in the AC. So, he took a look at it. He used to be an HVAC guy, and he owns his own handyman business. He said, “Oh, yeah. A Freon leak. We probably have to fix the coil, at the least.” So, we put in a claim to 2-10 that was out of network, and 2-10 got back to him. And I followed up with them. I spoke to somebody on the phone, and one of their representatives told me that due to the fact that it’s an old Freon system and certain regulations, you should be getting a replacement. He even worked up the whole numbers.
The rep said I was either approve for this amount of money or a sort of replacement. If it was my handyman, that would’ve been a certain amount of money that they could reimburse me but otherwise, 2-10 told me to put in a claim through them and to go in network. So I said, I'd put in a new claim going in network. They put me with an HVAC company and that company contacted them. But these folks took a while. It was ongoing for two to three weeks at minimum. Luckily, it got really cold. It went from 85-plus degrees every day to below 70 every day. So, I didn’t actually need to use my AC for the next three weeks. And I didn’t get angry at them because I was looking at the 10-day forecast, and it didn’t seem like it was gonna get above to where I needed to use my AC. So, I just kept contacting them and finally, they got it fixed. My whole claim took four weeks from the beginning of the handyman thing to the actual finish of the repair.
I have other warranties through my personal home, and it’s usually like next couple of days and it’s done. I don’t really care that much, as long as it doesn’t affect my business. If it affects my business, I would have been on the phone pretty irate. With this particular one, I run a Airbnb and I had guest after guest after guest. It didn’t get hot. So, I didn’t make any complaints to 2-10 but I hope next time would be better. What they told me was it took harder to find the parts. “It’s an older AC unit, so it’s gonna take a while.” But it got stuck in the research department for at least a week. It was really a terrible turnover.
I had to contact the research department when I was still dealing with the handyman because I just wanted it to get fixed. And since it was still possibly getting hot weather-wise, I had to take steps. And I finally got somebody at the research department. The guy is pretty knowledgeable and seemed like he knew what he was doing. He told me that due to the new regulations for Arkansas, in order for them to repair this, they had to match that, and it had to be up to code where a certain type of refrigerant should be used. That sounded logical and it made perfect sense.
I thought I was gonna get a sort of a replacement to my AC unit, and that would have been wonderful. It would have been a better idea to have this replacement because I am almost positive that it’s gonna break down again. It’s an old unit. So, it doesn’t make any sense I didn’t get a replacement on it. For 2-10, cost-wise, it would have been 3 grand or a little less than that, and sooner or later, it’s gonna break.
The AC company was pretty good. The actual handling of the claim from the beginning to the end for 2-10, where it was so delayed, was my problem. So, I’d rather go with other people. I’ve never really had any problems with any other warranties. It’s been pretty quick. Sometimes they had to order a part. They’d come to my house, they’d go, “Oh, we gotta order parts.” And they’d tell me the exact timeframe for it, and there’d be some sort of communication where I didn’t have to call them. I wish that 2-10 would be like, “Hey, we just want you to know that everything’s fixed, tada-dah, tada-dah” and get on with it. There was no communication. Also, it would be nice to have timeframes because that way, I could at least either block off my calendar, cancel my guests, or do something.

I have done a couple of claims with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty in the past and they've been very efficient, so I stayed with them. I'm beginning my third year with them in September. So far, when I submit a claim to them, my experience has been good. There was a little snafu with the last one, but it was corrected quickly. I usually schedule the service request online. But in this last instance where the heat went out, after putting the request in online, I had to call in. I had two systems so it wasn't an emergency. But the original contractor they had signed up to come out had all their service techs on vacation that week. And that was not unheard of. If 2-10 is gonna recommend somebody to come out, they should make sure that they're not talking 10 days for a service, which is what it would've been for this. It was almost two weeks.
But, I was able to request a different provider and the second provider that they recommended worked out very well. He checked the system out and he was very professional. I had an idea of what was wrong with it and that was exactly what he said. He didn't try to upsell anything. He just fixed what was wrong with it and he did a good job. I would use him again. In fact, my parents don't have a home warranty, but they asked for his name and number in case they ever needed anything. So, we were very happy with his service. It went that well. Overall, it was a very good experience. But you should check the schedules of the people you're requesting before you request them.

Ken Williams has to call Brevard County to have the building inspector come out to inspect if the installation is up to code. We were happy with Ken Willaims. They are a good company and 2-10 should keep them. 2-10 is working out for us and we're also happy with them. They are worth it.

So far, submitting claims to 2-10 Home Buyers has been okay. One time, I had an issue with my washer which went well. Their contractor called me immediately and was able to schedule a time to come out. Within a week, my issue got fixed. However, the second time I submitted a claim for a dryer, I ran into an issue. The provider told me that they were trying to call me but then they could not get my number. That claim worked out okay but I expected them to be more proactive in reaching out to me.
I saw a pattern. I called a second provider and they told me that they were trying to reach out to me as well. Additionally, for the appointment for the dryer, the provider said that it would take more than a week. So, I called 2-10 and told them to give me a different provider. Overall, 2-10's service is fine. They’re very prompt, responsive and they take care of issues whenever I call them.

I've been with 2-10 for at least 10 years now. I have filed about three claims and the company has been fair about giving me coverage and paying the replacement costs. I’ve had contractors come out and make some repairs on one appliance, but when one part of the AC went out, I replaced the whole unit but I only got coverage for just the air handler.

When my downstairs/upstairs system was low on Freon, the first guy 2-10 assigned never called me. I called 2-10 back and they got a second guy who showed up quickly and did a good job. He checked the whole system and walked me through it. It also turned out that the little starter in the air handler had gone bad. It ended up being two visits, where the same guy came out. And it seems to work out. They didn’t charge me for the first one because they had to do it two years ago, but I paid the $100 for the second one as it was a completely different issue, which I understand. I would have probably paid twice that just getting the part and I'm sure I had paid the guy a small fortune.

Trying to get someone out here was a hassle. When you call 2-10, it took forever to get through to the right person. It was just all a hassle. And then, they could not find the part for a long time. I was without a refrigerator for over two weeks. I lost a lot of food. I had to put a lot of my condiments, food and necessities in a cooler. I had to throw away a lot of it. And then, when they got the guy to come back out here, it was a used part they put in my refrigerator, which did not make me happy.
It was the display panel which they could not find, because they don't make the part anymore and they had to find a used one. And when they found the used one, they put it in and my ice maker didn't work and the display showed in French so I had to have the guy come back out here and change it to English and fix the ice machine. I don't know how old this used part is and the guy who put it in could not tell me either. I don't know how long it's gonna last. If they couldn't find a new part, they should have replaced the refrigerator.

I filed a claim to 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a heating system issue. It was not working. I was out of town and the first time my wife turned on the heater, she said, “The heater is not working. It might be the pilot light.” When I got home, I worked on the pilot light and the contractor came by and said, “She’s right, it didn’t even kick over.” He needed some parts so he ordered them in, and he came back. The guy was very nice, cordial, picked up all his tools, and did a good job. It took a couple of days to get things fixed, but the claim went well. The pilot light is working fine now and I'm happy.
I've been with 2-10 for eight years now. I pay extra 100 bucks a year for the roof shingles. I live in Arkansa where we get hale but we haven’t gotten tornados around us. Wind comes through and it pops some shingles off the roof. When I needed it, there were three or four shingles that came off the roof, and they said, “That’s not covered.” Why then am I paying for it if there’s nothing covered? It’s kinda gray on the roof extra protection. Nevertheless, I’m very happy with their services.

It’s simple to submit claims both online and over the phone. When the contractor came out the first time they thought it was a pulley that needed to be replaced, which indeed needed to be replaced. But there was also a cracked blower assembly, which they found out the next time they came out. When they did it the first time, they turned the dryer back on and it wasn’t making a noise, so they thought it had fixed it. But then once the dryer got warm after running for about five minutes, the noise would come back. So, that’s when they came back and they dug deeper into the dryer and then found out that it was a cracked blower assembly. We waited a few days for them to come with a new blower, they installed it and we haven’t had issues since. I’ll renew with 2-10 again. I only have about a year left here in my current position ‘cause I’m in the military, and then I’ll sell the house after that. But I plan to keep 2-10 while I still own the house.

We have a little refrigerator downstairs that malfunctioned, and they didn’t cover that because it wasn’t our primary refrigerator. But the rest of the stuff they’ve done has been okay. When I told them I wanna get another contractor, they found somebody else, and then I heard from those people the next day after they changed it. But they somehow went back at a later request for the same one that didn’t show up. So, that wasn’t very good. They probably didn’t change their records at all.

When the tech came out and fixed the air conditioner, he found that there was something wrong with the fan and the motor. He replaced that, but when he did his final walk-through, he said that it looked like I may be leaking Freon. It was all part of the same issue. I’ve used 2-10 for years and they have been super. In fact, I’ll be renewing again this year. I never let it lapse and it has paid off. Last year, I heard from them early and they gave me a discount for paying early.

2-10 was part of the deal when we purchased the home. The submission of the claim for my air conditioning that was not functioning well was fine. It was after that, however, that I wasn't incredibly pleased. Although they were able to send someone out in a day or two, the contractors were awful. When they came out they told us that the AC was going to burn our house down. They shut the unit off even though it was still 100 degrees here.
Then, 2-10 was not able to expedite the parts, so we were without AC for four or five days in Arizona. That was disappointing because it was hot here and that seemed ridiculous. When the contractors came to fix it, they did a terrible job and they blew a weird blue dust all over upstairs, so it was a giant mess. They were completely unqualified and a little bit sketchy. 2-10, nevertheless, has been okay in offering to send someone out once I convinced them how poorly the first one had done. We had someone out on our own accord to assess what was still wrong with it and I had sent things to our customer representative person.

The refrigerator stopped cooling, so I called 2-10 and they had a repair guy come out. The repair guy said that there was a class action lawsuit against the refrigerator, so that I would have to contact LG to get permission for him to fix the refrigerator. I did that and he told me it should take a couple of days. I followed up with LG and they told me they sent the permission to the contractor several days earlier, and he went MIA. I called and called, and didn’t hear anything. I never heard from him again. So, I was without a refrigerator for about three weeks. I finally called 2-10 and said, “What’s up with this?” And so, they stepped in and said, “Because you’ve been without a refrigerator for three weeks, we’re just going to send you a credit so you can get another refrigerator.” So, they did that.
When I contacted 2-10, they were responsive. I was just giving everybody the benefit of the doubt. 2-10 didn’t have any idea that it was taking that long. They did send me a couple of emails asking me if it was in progress, and I did say it was in progress because I thought it was moving forward. Evidently, it wasn’t. But I could’ve also been more proactive on my part to let them know what was going on because I just waited too long. Apparently, I was suffering in silence.

We had a couple of service calls on our AC and for the most recent one, the techs that 2-10 sent out were great. They were very responsive and when they came out, they did their thing and were done. That was not the norm with the other ones that we've had, so it was nice. In fact, people don't use the warranty because when 2-10 has to send out to a contractor, the customers have to wait and they can wait up to 48 hours. But one time, it was in the middle of the summer and it took 21 days for us. But we had a warranty, so we weren't gonna be paying out of pocket.
The contractor that came out at the time was good, too. They went to a warehouse and was told that the part was there, but they said the part was not there. 2-10 also canceled our order at one point, so it was a complete nightmare. I never canceled the service request but when I went online, it automatically said, "Canceled by customer." And we ended up paying somebody out of pocket to have the issue resolved because we were not getting any response from anybody ad we worked directly with the service contractor that was sent out to us originally by 2-10. 2-10 ended up giving back our service fee, but still, that incident is part of the frustration as to why people don't use this warranty.
My husband is in the military, so we are only stationed here for two years and we purchased the warranty knowing that we're only here for a certain timeframe. But there are times where this is even worse and I believe it's better if we just pay out of pocket because of how long it takes to do things with 2-10. And when we put in three service requests for the AC, we got different contractors assigned to us. So, there's no continuity versus if you were a customer with one company as far as your system. We did that in Florida where we didn't have a warranty, but the same company serviced us and knew exactly what was going on with the system. But if you have different contractors come in, they have to pick up where somebody else left off and they don't know what other company was thinking.
It's interesting as well because we don't have the tune-up service on our warranty. After our second service through 2-10, the techs were coming out when the part finally arrived. We asked them if they could just service up our HVAC system because they were coming out here for 2-10 anyway, and we paid them directly. But had they serviced it properly, we wouldn't have had to do another service request with 2 10 not even a month later. And our system is less than five years old. My husband and I are a little bit frustrated by that but we got our money back from 2-10 because the service took so long. We've lived in houses that they have systems over 30 years old and experienced having general maintenance issues. But with the stuff that's going on with this system, thank goodness we have a warranty. Still, if I was living here long-term, I don't think I would opt to have the warranty.

The water heater was leaking and it was outside of business hours on a really late Friday afternoon. So I didn’t see somebody come out until Monday, but obviously, that was expected.

They thought it would take about a week to do. But they did it in less time than that. It works really great, so I’m happy.
But this was the first home that I bought, and the only time I’ve ever had to use the warranty like that, and I was a little bit disappointed in the amount that I had to pay out of pocket. I had to pay $275 out of pocket. $100 of it was the deductible, and then the other remainder was, like, disposal of the other unit, a new pan, and parts that I got that weren’t included. That was kind of frustrating. With the warranty you expect everything was covered and then there’s a deductible, but thankfully, at least, I have the money to cover it.

When we purchased our home, our realtor recommended 2-10 for insurance company, and we've had coverage for four years. They've been fairly responsive. They're better than the other home warranty company we had previously. So, I would recommend them at this point. However, they always send out the same person to repair pretty much any appliance that we've had an issue with and that guy is a little bit a unique individual, not really by the book type of person. But he always seems to get things done. The amount of money they've offered us for the dryer seems a little bit on the low side too, but besides that, we've not really had a problem. I prefer to talk to somebody in person when filing a claim and everybody has been always fairly pleasant. They should maybe have shorter response times after filing a claim though.

I would go online, put the claim in, and I would get notified relatively quickly. Back when we had tenants in the house, the heat pump went out in January while the tenant was pregnant. That didn’t go as smoothly as I had liked. It took quite a while to get the parts that they needed in and then the same thing happened a couple of months later when the AC went out.
It went great with the swimming pool claim. The contractor went out to the house and diagnosed it. 2-10 offered me a buyout of 925 which we accepted, and all was done. The house is a rental and we didn't have anyone in it for three months. So, we didn’t have a rush on the claim. Once the contractor diagnosed it and turned everything in to 2-10, it was probably less than a week. I’m in Arizona now and I couldn’t get 2-10 here. Otherwise, I would have. 2-10 was much better.

There was a miscommunication, where the contractors were saying that we needed to have two parts while 2-10 was saying that it should be one part, and going back and forth with contractors trying to order the part.
And the interaction wasn't very good. I talked to different people in 2-10, and I was hoping that one person would be working on my case. I had to get a manager involved. He was able to straighten things out, but he ended up screwing up. They ordered either the wrong part, or they were sent somewhere else by mistake towards the very end after we thought it was gonna be resolved.
It took half an hour for the guy to put in the parts that were needed. We could have ordered the parts on Amazon or gotten them ourselves, but 2-10 had to go through their own weird process to order the parts. They wouldn't allow the contractor to order the parts. I guess, they were trying to save money. Bottom line is that, it was an awful experience.

We filed the claim on a Thursday morning and two hours later, I had a local air conditioning tech call me and he said he was coming to my house to take a look at it. He came over, got in and diagnosed the problem, what we think was accurately. He called 2-10 purchasing department and told them he had the part here in town that was exactly what they needed and gave them the part number. However, 2-10 went researching on their own which took five days. On the third day later, they finally located it and then they mailed it, shipped it down to Florida for us to use. That was six days when we finally got the part but they ordered the wrong part. They didn't take my air conditioning's tech advice to order the specific part.
I had no less than 30 phone calls into 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to get updates and to talk to supervisors and whoever. I got so many calls and messages. I got so many people that said the part was gonna be delivered that night and the tech was gonna be called and they were gonna fix it the following morning. When the next day came and nothing happened, I called back and I was informed it was still being purchased. This happened three times. Three weeks later, we finally got the part in. Because of the delay, the blower failed. 2-10 stepped up and paid for that right away and took care of it. I didn't have to file another claim where I did, but that was before I had to pay the additional $100. And they actually refunded my initial $100. So, I was not out of pocket. In the end, it worked out. It's blowing cold.
We have two air conditioners for this house and the other one was working just fine. So, we got to sleep in that area of the house. Having one air conditioner kept a majority of the house at least, not above 82 degrees which is livable during the day.

They were offering to give me $400 towards that part. I said we had the part and it was three miles from where I live. But they would not pull the trigger and buy that part. They want to ship in their own part. That was really annoying. Overall, it's been pretty good with 2-10 except for this last deal.

My experience with 2-10 has not been wonderful.

They were highly recommended to us by somebody else that has their program, and they had good success with them, but that has not been the case for us.
We have to submit an email to submit a claim. My husband always submitted the tickets for us because it’s easier for him to do that. Typically, when he has put in a claim, somebody has called within 36 hours from the contractor’s office with an appointment. The HVAC companies were stellar. There’s been one company that has been sent out for the dishwasher and for the refrigerator, and I would not recommend them to anybody. Neither appliance were working when we purchased the home, and they came out. At first, with the dishwasher, they said that it needed a new gasket and they had to order it, and I told them it was fine to order the gasket. So, they ordered the gasket, they came back, they went to install the gasket, and then they said that they couldn't complete the installation because the floor underneath was not level, and that’s what the problem was.
The gentleman that came out was very polite, but he did something to the refrigerator. It worked for a couple of hours, and then, it stopped working. So, we called back, and they came back the following week with the gasket to install the gasket. He did something with the dishwasher and said that it was working. I ran it once because it had been sitting idle for a while, just to flush the lines and stuff, and it didn't drain properly. There was an inch and a half of water in the bottom of the dishwasher, and that’s not sanitary. So, I called them back again, and they said it was because the floor wasn’t level underneath.
They said they would come back out and they were gonna replace the compressor on the refrigerator. So, they did that. It again worked overnight and it made some ice once or twice that time, and then, it stopped again. Then, they said they were gonna replace the motherboard. So, the guy came out, did some stuff, and left. He came back the next week and told me he was here to retrieve the motherboard. And I asked, “What did the guy do last week? He goes, “I don't know, but he didn't get it.” And when he pulled the refrigerator out, it scratched the brand-new floors that had just been put in the house the week before. They have yet to contact us about the floors, the refrigerator still is not working, and the dishwasher still is not working. It’s been a nightmare.
My husband called 2-10 a couple of days ago and spoke to somebody on Thursday, and told the guy what was going on. He had been told that they were gonna go ahead and buy us out of the refrigerator, and that they were gonna give us a price to purchase a new refrigerator, which is what the plan is supposed to do. If they can’t repair it, they're supposed to replace it. The guy from 2-10 said they were gonna send another contractor out here to look at it. And my husband told him that they already told us that they were gonna buy us out and that he needed to speak to a supervisor. He asked 10 times for a supervisor.

There was never a question of whether it was pre-existing condition or not. We had one issue that popped up after we purchased the house and the shower would not turn off either. It was determined to be a concealed repair because he had to go behind the wall, in the wall, to get to the pipes, what needed to be replaced. I've had numerous other plumbers come out since this repair, and I got charged around $800 for the repair. Everybody else said that should've been a $200 to $300 repair. So, I'm not happy.
Additionally, their plumbers don't do drywall repair for whatever reason. And so, I don't understand how I can use my home warranty and only get half service. I have a hole in the wall in the closet where the plumber came and did his repair work. I don't understand why it was not a complete repair, including the drywall, especially at $800, which was obscene.

Our gas water heater claim went fine. The rep was very good when I called the claim in. The contractors were always very strong on letting me know when they were going to be coming and then when they were on their way. They were the ones that were doing some other work for me and noticed that the water heater was making a screaming noise. I wasn’t familiar with that and they worked with 2-10 to come up with a solution. 2-10 was providing the unit. The contractor picked up the equipment then they came and installed it. We had a little problem with certain parts. The connectors wouldn't fit with the heater, and so we had to wait for a second visit. The connectors that were supposed to be used were not in the package. When they got those parts, they finally came out and installed them. So, it’s been done and it's working fine. And I was lucky that I wasn’t without hot water for a week and a half.

The contractor 2-10 sent us for the lights was great. The guy was very professional and was open to communication. I also liked his cleanliness. 2-10 was very proactive in getting someone out and they would answer any question that we had. Sometimes, when you have a service like this, you’re not sure about stuff even though it’s on the paperwork. And there's really a lot of paperwork, as with any company, for a consumer to read. It’s so much easier when I’m able to call 2-10's office and ask if they are able to cover a problem. And they get people out immediately. On this claim, they sent a good one and then they followed up to make sure he came in and the job was completed.

I had a claim done with 2-10 when the water heater stopped working. On the first day that the tech came out, he checked it out, diagnosed it, and then he left. The home warranty then ordered the part and as soon as it came, about five days later, the guy came back and installed it. Everything is good so far, and I hope it goes like that forever. I don't want to live without hot water again.

We made a claim for our refrigerator. 2-10 arranged someone to take a look and they decided the replacement. They gave us the lowest model that we didn’t like. We had to take the buyout offer. I got a check of 800 bucks and if I minus 100 bucks I paid off and the insurance premium I paid off which was 500 bucks, I only got 100 bucks. That’s not much. I recommend 2-10 for a new homebuyer, but not for people who already live in a home. I only have two months with 2-10. It’s okay, but I’m not going to renew.

The heating coils were bad and the thermostat wasn’t tripping the way it should. It was only going on when the blower was on instead of auto. When my girlfriend called 2-10 to get the service set up, it ended up not going through. I don’t know if it was just a mix-up but when I called and got it all set up, the reps I talked to did really well and the techs were out here within about two days. They were from Holder’s Heating and Air and they were extremely professional. I work third shift, and they had to come in during the day, so I left a note on the window saying that I was sleeping and they got the job done. They also left me a note letting me know everything was done and they locked the doors up behind them.
Everything is going great with the system now. But I had to call them out once after they originally came out because the thermostat had acted up again. And it ended up just being a loose wire, so a tech came out and fixed that. And we haven't had anything since then. So, I'm very pleased with the way everything was handled.

My friend bought her first home over a year ago. I finally visited as she lives a little farther than me. We were talking about her home and she mentioned getting a few things fixed through her home warranty. She then told me about 2-10 and how great they were and what they cover. I was amazed because I never heard of this. So she referred me and I signed up thinking that it is great to have. Something break and need to be replaced and my husband works very hard to fix them. I thought it would be great to have have this peace of mind. Well just 4 short days after I could start using my warranty I noticed that my heater was not working right, just my darn luck of course. It was 29 degrees outside and really cold inside.
So I made a claim, they sent out a contractor two days later. 2-10 got the diagnosis and then denied my claim that the heater needed to be fixed and was out of Freon. They denied it because the problem was there before my contract started, even though I was unaware of it. I mean my heater worked just fine until the 10th. They also said that it was denied because my coils were dirty. Well I have someone do maintenance on our unit every April and every November. I had someone scheduled to clean my unit today on the 15th, I called my guy on Halloween to schedule a time for him to come but he said he was very busy and cleaning it wasn’t that important right now so I said the 15th was okay since I am off of work. So if you need anything fixed shortly after you can claim something, wait a while I guess. They do not want to pay for something if they don’t have to apparently. Going to a different company.

I had a roof leak repaired through 2-10's contractor, and they did it while I was at work. I don't know if the roof was fixed but I'm sure somebody was up there because there's a white piece of paper hanging from my roof that wasn’t there prior. Also, the stain on the ceiling isn’t getting bigger, which would’ve spread by now, so it did seem like it was fixed.
Now, I’ve been calling the roofing company at least once a week so I could pay them but no one is returning my calls. It's either they will call me back to get the payment over the phone, or someone is gonna come back to my house when I am there to patch the leak from the inside and repaint the ceiling, and I could pay then. I’m still in limbo right now but I’ll just keep reaching out to them. I will give them the benefit of the doubt because we had a storm here in Florida so maybe the roofing company had a lot on their plate. And it's not 2-10's fault.

Our gas water heater claim with 2-10 went well. They got their adjuster out quickly and helped us. The only thing that was a little frustrating was the hot water heater we had when we moved in here was old.

But overall, they treated us well during all that. And the hot water heater contractors were good. We also had some garage door issues a year or so ago, but the people they sent weren’t that great. Unfortunately, our garage door wasn’t opening. When they came out, it did open that time. They told us that we owed for that, and next time, we should’ve checked it before they came out.

The claims process with 2-10 Home Warranty was excruciating. For water heaters, 2-10 has a warehouse that they have to go to. Their contractor has to look at the situation first, determine whether or not they need a water heater, then they come back the next day or two later to install it. And I don't care for the length of time it took, from the time the person showed up until the water heater was installed.
The first company 2-10 sent out, the person showed up and said he doesn't install water heaters. That was another delay of two days, so it took seven days for it to be rectified. Alex was the guy who installed the water heater, but in less than two months, it failed. We had to go through the whole thing again, which took five days. This time, Alex had to go out and determine if it was a failure on account of the manufacturer, which it was. He had to contact the manufacturer to get permission to put a new one in, and that took time.
I switched all my properties to 2-10 on July 1st and I've had six or seven claims. Every problem I've had was with plumbing, and 2-10 would have to work through their contractors because when some of them go out, they claim that they don't do regular plumbing, while others claim that they only do water heater installation. Others say they only do plumbing and not water heater installation.
And aside from timeliness in terms of getting things done, 2-10 also has to improve on answering their phone in a timely fashion. When you call in to file a claim, they don't have enough customer service people. So I'm on the phone, typically, for 20 minutes. Now, granted, they want you to file a claim online, I'm not an online person and I'm on the go. I sell real estate, and I'm never in front of my computer. And then, when you have a problem with the person that showed up and you call back to their customer service people, they can't handle the claim. Fortunately, because of my position as a real estate agent, I have a direct channel to their sales rep. Most of my clients who I sell the 2-10 warranty to don't have that opportunity to call somebody. There is no system in place that's adequate for when a problem arises, the customer can call and get ready access to the solution.
I have a client two weeks ago with a plumbing issue, an attorney with a plumbing issue and myself with three apartments, so that's five plumbing issues. I have another client with an air conditioning situation that had she not stopped me in the middle the road, her frustration with 2-10 Home Warranty, she would have graded them zero. But because I have the back channel to the people that are in 2-10, I'm a hero with these three clients of mine, and got the air conditioning situation for her worked out. Customer service follow-up is awful with 2-10.

I've had 2-10 since end of June. I prefer submitting claims over the phone and so far, the reps I've spoken with have been fine. In a day or two, they'd send a contractor out. So far, those they've sent out have all been fine. The techs communicated well, trying to find the problem. The first time we called 2-10 for the garage door opener issue, the tech came out, thought he knew what the problem was and he fixed it. A couple days later, it didn't work. I called them back. Then, they said they’ll send a senior tech out. They did and he did a couple more things. Now, I’m on the third time.
I just talked to 2-10 again today and told them that the problem has still not been solved and that their technician has to come back. And reviewing their notes, this time, they're asking for new sensors and new wiring, which is what the technician had stated if the problem wasn’t solved. The contractor said they had to get permission from 2-10 before they can schedule, even though it’s a recall. Each step, if you wanna try something different, they have to go back to 2-10 and go, “Mother, may I, may we do?”
The only thing I must say, and I have no idea if it’s just 2-10’s practice or if it’s the industry’s practice, let’s say I’m allowed over $1000 for a particular appliance and I have a $100 deductible. And the service guy charges $900 for the work and I pay the $100 out of my pocket. Why is that $100 being deducted from the 1000 that I’m entitled when I’m paying for it. It’s like I’m being charged twice for it. That, to me, is not fair. That shouldn’t go against the allotted amount of money because it’s not coming out of 2-10’s pocket, it’s coming out of mine. For the most part, I let people find things out for themselves. If it’s so tremendous, I’d have gone out and go, “Hey, you gotta use this company.” But not with 2-10.

I’ve been a customer for about three and a half now when I purchased the house. Filing a claim seems to be pretty seamless. I had water heater issues, and they didn’t have any in-network plumbers, which was kind of odd ‘cause I do live in a bigger city, Toledo, but they allowed me to go out-of-network. I hired my own and all I had to do was send 2-10 a picture of the bill that I paid, and I got my full refund a week later. Typically, I go online to put a claim in. Their website is very seamless. If I’m not 100% sure of something and it’s multiple claims, like this last time I had multiple issues that kinda tied into each other so I wasn’t sure if it should be one or two, then I will call 2-10. A couple of years ago when I had my first experience with them, the contractor himself had issues getting the proper model number of exactly what 2-10 would have supported. He kinda cursed home warranties in general right off the bat. But towards me, he was very friendly.

I sent 2-10 some photos of an area that appears to have rust/corrosion (inside the freezer), however, Because parts for this fridge are discontinued, 2-10 is telling me they cannot replace it. I asked for a 2nd opinion & when they dispatched Sears, Sears told them they aren't familiar with the brand WOODS & won't service it. 2-10 then told me they don't have any other appliance contractors in my area & I have to find someone to diagnose it.

The claims process with 2-10 is very difficult. I had a leaky water heater that was leaking onto our floor. And they said they had 24 hours to contact a service provider. Then they had weeks until they come out and diagnose the problem, and then they were gonna order the parts. And so, I was left with the unrepaired item for weeks. That is the system. The contractors contacted us. Unfortunately, what I have come to find is that what they do is they have agreements, and I've actually had two claims. I had one on the air conditioner problem, and one on the water heater that went out. In a really brief amount of time, we had a lot going on. They have contracts set up with local service providers, plumbers, and these service providers are generally small companies that say they'll do it at a really discounted price.
The people I've had respond were not quick to respond. With the AC people, the first guy they sent out came twice, and I called and told them not to send that guy back. They finally sent a decent person. And rather than just replace the parts, they had to go through a series of just try this, try this, try this. Meanwhile, it was 90 degrees in our house, and our AC was not working. And so, it's a system set up to where they try to Band-Aid and Band-Aid and Band-Aid. And then, finally, I repaired it myself. And I just got them to cut me a check for part of what I spent. In the end, I did get $1,000 on each repair, so it's better than having nothing. But it's a really tough system to work with for the homeowner.

My wife has had 2-10 since she moved into the house 15 years ago then I moved down here about two years ago when we got married. Being given the runaround is probably the most favorable response that I could give for this organization. Of the six different plumbers they sent out, none of which were able to or willing to resolve the issue that we had. In fact, the first guy that came out said there was nothing he could do to help me and I was gonna have to take it up with my insurance company, and then he collected $75 and left.
To say that I was dissatisfied is an absolute understatement. If I knew for a fact that they were in the bad with all these organizations that they work with, I would love to find out who set that up and have that person held accountable for what they did. But at least they're getting some type of kickback from these guys by coming into these houses, taking off the cover charge and not doing any work. And then the ones that actually came in and did some kind of work, created a bigger problem than the ones that didn't do anything. The fourth guy that came here and took the toilet bowl off to fix the clog said he fixed the clog, and then half hour later, I had more water pouring out of the open hole because he didn't put the toilet back on than when I had the original leak. So, 2-10 Home Warranty and everybody they work with are a bunch of criminals as far as I'm concerned.
Up until the 11th time that I called them with an issue here, absolutely nothing was done except referring me to other plumbers. First, they referred one that was in Alabama. We live in Georgia. Next, they referred me to one that was approximately 100 miles away from our house and refused to come because why. Finally when we got to a person that helped resolve the issue, it took me several hours on the phone and talking to associates and then supervisors.
At the end of the day, this whole thing that was supposed to be covered by my deductible of $75 wound up costing me over 1,000, which is still unreimbursed. They reimbursed us for the last $550 of it because I said to them I was taking them to small claims court and I would win because all they gotta do was look at the fact that they did not solve this problem, and I was still cleaning up after the mess. And then, I was reimbursed for the last plumbing expense where I had to go out of network to find someone to take care of the issue for that.

2-10 is an affiliated business partner of Long & Foster, the brokerage company that I work for, and I've been with them since July of this year. Recently, I had a leak that was discovered in the ceiling of my main floor bathroom. I have the two levels above grade and then a basement. At the time, I had overnight guests on the lower-level unit and they texted me saying that they saw a stain on their ceiling. I was trying to figure out where was that coming from and it turned out that the stain was coming from the main floor bathroom. On that very same night, my daughter came upstairs to my room and said that there was a bubble in the ceiling of our bathroom. That was on the main floor and there was something going on on all three bathrooms.
Instead of trying to place the claim online, I called 2-10 and spoke to a person. I asked if there would be three separate deductibles since it was a plumbing repair and the rep said if one trade person would come out, it would be one deductible. So, I explained everything that I was seeing and I was immediately assigned to All Star Plumbing.
Then, two techs came out and took a look. They said that the issue with the upstairs bathroom is a matter of caulking and they showed me where it was. They said that they looked in the wall behind the shower diverter. They also cut a hole in the main floor bathroom ceiling and could not see where any of the leaking was originating from a joint, in any of the pipes. So, they cut an 18-inch by 18-inch opening in the ceiling, where they could see the drain to the shower, and they could see some of the plumbing from the faucets in the shower. So, they deduced that upstairs, it was as simple as caulking. And for whatever reason, the guy said that he would do all of that when he came back.
On the main floor, he said that it was the diverter in the tub and as opposed to most tubs that has it on one end where there's also a tub spout and on the short end of the tub, mine is on the long wall. That's where the tub filler is and that's where the faucet is. That's also where there's a separate adjustment for temperature control and they cut a hole in the wall behind that which is in my daughter's closet and he immediately could see where the active leak was originating.
He said it was coming from our faucet and that we have faucet coverage, but the kind of faucet that the warranty company would have him put in was not going to be as good as our faucet. He said that a lot of customers who need a faucet repair would just go out and buy their own faucet. They'd install it then the warranty company would pay for it. So, I said that that was what I'd do because I knew that I had a different kind of faucet. But he said that he may be able to order the piece in our faucet that was broken. So, I told him that'd be great as I didn't have to replace the faucet. He also said that either way, I was covered. He then got on the phone and when he came back, he told me that I didn't need to buy a faucet as they could find the piece. So that meant that there was going to be a return trip. And I figured out what was going on in all three bathrooms, so I was feeling pretty good.
But that company originally came on a Thursday and said that they'd be back early on the following week. But on Monday and Tuesday morning, I didn't hear from them. Tuesday afternoon, I called All Star Plumbing and got voicemail. Wednesday, the same thing happened. I didn't call on Thursday but Friday morning, I called them again and this time the voicemail had changed. It said that they were closed almost as if the company was no longer in business. And the voicemail said, "If this is a call regarding a warranty, call your warranty provider."
So, I called 2-10 and they said they were sorry for the inconvenience and that they'd have a different company come out. They assigned me to a second company called Smitty's. So, I called Smitty's and their tech came out the next day. It was an active leak and they upgraded it to an emergency service. When he was here, he said that he had to start from scratch because he was a second vendor, so he had to get approval. Then, I got a phone call from Smitty's explaining that in order to stop the active leak, he could cap both lines but my warranty wouldn't pay for that. And if he capped both lines, I would be paying him out of pocket at $100 per line. I agreed and told him to do that because I didn't wanna cause more damage to the ceiling below. So, I paid him $100 for the hot line and $100 for the cold line.
Then, I got a phone call from the warranty company saying that I have faucet coverage. By that time, I called Delta because all of the faucets in my house are Delta faucets and they're supposed to have these limited lifetime warranties. I realized that the faucets in the main floor bath was so unique in its placement and in the fact that it had three separate pieces where a lot of them has just a hot and cold then the tub spout. Delta told me that they had it set up where they will send you a text, the text enables them to access your camera, then you can snap a photo of what you have and they can match it. So, we did that and Delta said that they don't make that faucet anymore, but they were going to send me a replacement of what is similar to that. So, they were going to now send me a free faucet.
I figured with Delta sending me a faucet and Smitty's saying that the warranty company would allow him to install the faucet because it was a warranty covered repair kinda thing, he could cap the lines, so that would stop the immediate leak, then as soon as the faucet comes in, all I had to do was call Smitty's. I then got a phone call from 2-10 and the woman that I spoke to confirmed everything that Smitty’s told me. She said that I have faucet coverage and that since the faucet was going to be repaired by manufacturer warranty, they were not going to provide the faucet, but they would provide for the installation of the faucet once I receive it. So, once I get it, I should just call Smitty's.
When the faucet came, I called Smitty's and I was told that the tech could come out on a Thursday, between 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock. So, I took the morning off from work. But at 11 o'clock, he was still a no show. At 11:30 o'clock, I called and went into voicemail. But I got a text response saying he was on the way. But at 1:30 o'clock, I called again and got no response. I then texted him to give me an ETA but I got no response. I called again, and again, and again. Finally, a gentleman answered. This was the same number of the gentleman who was at my house before. I saved that number, so I was calling directly. But the person that answered said that he was on his way to D.C. and I told him that I don't live in D.C.. I asked if he could he give me an ETA and he said he didn't know what time he was going to get here. I reminded him of our appointment but it fell on deaf ears. So, I was in tears.
I then called the warranty company back and explained to them the whole trilogy. They said they were so sorry and that they were gonna get me another vendor. They said they were gonna escalate my claim and make it urgent. But they had given me one number and when I called that number, that person said that they were booked solid for the next couple of weeks. I called back and they tried to give me a second number but I asked them to call and find out who could come. I told them that instead of hanging up with me, they could put me on hold until they get somebody. So, they found a company but they said that they would not be able to come out that day but could come the very next day.
When they came, they took a look at everything that was going on then said that they almost had to start from scratch and that they had to get approval. But I told them that they already had approval and I have the faucet. All they needed to do was install it. But they said they couldn't do it at the time and they had to verify if the insurance company would pay for it, then they had to schedule to come back out. Since they explained it that way, I took them at their word and agreed. Later on that day, I got a phone call from the warranty company telling me that my faucet coverage was $1,000 and I had exhausted all of my coverage because they had spent all of this money paying these other vendors who didn't do anything. And now, the only thing that was left was $150.
But I told them that the first company was the one that I paid my $89 to. Then with Smitty's, my deductible was waived because I already paid it. For the third company that came out, my deductible was waived because again, I already paid it. But apparently, the warranty company paid all of these other vendors to do the work that they said that I was covered for and when I finally found somebody who could do it, they didn't wanna pay them because I only had $150 left.
So, when all was said and done, as of November 27th, I still have a bathroom that is non-functional on the main floor and there's a hole cut in the wall. But to date, I have a check on my counter for $150 from 2-10 because the woman finally said that all they could do was send me a check for $150. So, I've spent $89 for the deductible and $200 to have my lines capped, but somehow, I've got a check for $150 and still a bathroom that's not working. Apparently the only way to get things fixed right now is to pay for the repair out of pocket but I don't know when I'm gonna be able to do that.

2-10 has a pretty hands-on system as far as the online submissions and they engage with the technical support in a timely manner. They let you know promptly once a company has been assigned and who that is. However, same with other warranty companies, 2-10 is limited by whatever contact information is given by their contractors. They also lower their price to get you in, and then they raise it when it’s time for renewal. Other than that, my engagements with them when I call the support desk, as well as with the contractors, have been great.

We've been with 2-10 since 2005 and over the years, there were times that we decided that if we could get someone else and still not have any lapse in coverage, we would do so. We would always have issues with a lot of the same companies that 2-10 continues to use, like when one came and said he was going out to his truck, but he never came back.
We had issues with our stove and refrigerator last year, right at the holidays. We got someone who came in, said the stove was fixed, then wrote down something differently. They went back and said something else in reference to the part. So, we had repeated fixes until the circuit board could not get fixed. We had to end up getting the payout which was really frustrating because 2-10 wanted to deduct the money from the payout, which already was not gonna pay for what I needed anyway.
With our refrigerator, the contractor said that it couldn't be fixed but they told their employer that they could get another part. They also told 2-10 that they were gonna fix it. So it’s contradictory. 2-10 thought that the contractor came and got the circuit board, but they never came. So, we were sitting here, waiting, trying to figure out when they were coming. No fault of their own, but no one was really checking. Even once it was fixed, it still didn't work. Over the last couple of months, we ended up not having a refrigerator in our kitchen. We had to use one in our garage. So, we just received the payout with that. Just this past Friday, I finally received a brand-new refrigerator. They were only paying us $300, but the refrigerator costs $2000. I was not gonna buy a white one when everything else was stainless steel. I wanted something decent. The product that I had that broke wasn’t high-end but it was still a very good product.
I don't wanna say it’s always the contractor, but there are definitely issues with some of the contractors that 2-10 provides for their customers. We’ve just been going along with it. I don't know if it’s the same ones that come up but whenever we hear the contractor's names, we’re like, “Oh, shoot.” We actually have had a change mid-stream where one came out and we asked 2-10 to send somebody else out. But that means we have to pay another $75 if it’s somebody different.
We’re always trying to figure out what’s the best thing to do as far as the money and the service. Customer service is huge when they're coming to your home and you're expecting great service. I expect courteousness, punctuality and for me to be told the truth. We’ve had one where our time was between 12:00 and 5:00. It was almost 5:00, and no one showed up and no one called. We didn't know if they were gonna show up. We took off work to be here in order to meet the service people and we had to do it again. So, a lot of those things became frustrating. I really wanted to change warranty but my husband is the one that renews it. He did not wanna be bothered with having to start all over with a new company.
When we had all the other issues, I was getting all the service people that we were dealing with on the line, and it seemed like they did not understand our frustration. But this last couple of times, especially with the refrigerator payout we just received, we had someone that totally understood and was very courteous. We really appreciated that. 2-10 really gotta try to understand the customer’s issues. They need to stay more in communication with the customer. They could have the repair person write something out before any work done so that when they go back and say that they told us that we needed a certain part, we could say it that was not what happened.
