    Updated review: Aug. 22, 2019

    After escalation, I was contacted by Hannah with the home office and she was phenomenal. She called on schedule, followed up with the contractor, assisted me with a temporary cooling solution, and maintained contact until we verified the issue was resolved.

    I also had a pleasant experience today with Nate ** in the Claims Mgmt Team.

    My most recent experiences with 2-10 have been substantially better than the first few experiences with them and their contractors. It shouldn't have to take being escalated to the highest team before good customer service is delivered but I'm glad I finally received the service I'd been requesting with a "superb" touch.

    I'll see how the remainder of the contract goes and if all is well, I will definitely consider renewing for a year to give 2-10 another chance.

    Original Review: May 31, 2019

    I've had nothing but horrific experiences with 2-10 and their "trusted service contractors". These contractors are the most unprofessional, unknowledgeable, inconsiderate contractors ever. I've had one contractor (A&S HVAC & Home Maintenance) come out and have not a single idea as to what my issue was. The contractor had to call someone else for them to tell him what was wrong! And they STILL didn't get it right. He then Lied to 2-10 saying it was improperly wired and tried to change his resolution to something more expensive but something that would've been covered by the warranty but they of course refused due to his initial diagnostic. He said the furnace didn't come on, it worked FINE once I used 'em. Heat and he claimed all I truly needed was a different thermostat. But not ONCE did he address my heat pump using heat, which was the issue. The heat pump would fail.

    I requested a second opinion (Adanac Air) who falsely claimed I stated that I wanted to use my gas furnace instead of my heat pump which in fact is what he advised me to be a resolution when it was truly a fluke for not identifying an issue with the heat pump! Of course, he never followed up! Why? Because 2-10 still denied the claim due to the first diagnostic. So why would they even let a second company come out? To waste my time.

    I also had a plumbing issue and 30 days after the contractor came out, the issue came back but 2-10 wouldn't honor the resolution due to them not honoring camera inspections. What does this company do?? I scheduled yet another appointment but this one for AC. The service contractor contacted me TWICE to confirm the appointment, then I find out I've been assigned a new contractor on the day of my expected appointment AND the new person is!!!! Adanac Air. I REFUSED to let them come back out and IGNORE diagnosing my issue.

    I called 2-10 to inquire further and they claimed Resultz First (initial contractor who confirmed twice) DECLINED my appt due to being overbooked!! HOW UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! How can a company deny an appt after confirming twice and deny it on the day of the appt!!! I waited THREE DAYS for NOTHING!!! It's been 4 days since I requested someone and now I'll have to WAIT more days for someone to contact me to schedule another 2-4 days out AFTER they contact me (who knows when that'll be!) and it's already the weekend! 2-10 trusts unprofessionals, they are unprofessionals, and I will NEVER use this warranty company again in this life or the next.

    I’m a Realtor, so I tell everybody about 2-10. When I first bought my house, I had 2-10 for 10 years or so and then I didn’t have it, and then I've had it again for about four years now. My company had a rep that came to see us all the time. I was very familiar with her and the convenience of getting people signed up. I've had good experience with my customers that have used 2-10, so it was the only way to go. There are others on the market, but I've had good success with 2-10. I feel comfortable using it.

    I call when I submit my claims and that is frustrating because I see on the internet that if you don’t have the number handy, it wants you to just log in, and I really wanna speak to a person. So, that part has bothered me a little bit, but eventually I get a hold of somebody and that is great. I like the fact that when I make a phone call, I get a hold of somebody. And I like the convenience of being able to call and the person on the other end of the line is very compassionate and concerned. That is very important because even though my problem can’t be solved right then, I've had good expectation on the other end of people giving me comfort because they sound like they care. It’s not their problem, but they do connect and they do make you feel like they are concerned. I had a really bad contractor two weeks ago. But you can call 2-10 and they make things better. They’ll send somebody else out. So, that is awesome.

    I have a continued coverage for a year with 2-10 but I’m still in the process of an actual claim on my AC. I submitted it over the phone because there was a question I had that couldn’t be answered online and the process was very easy. The contractors that they sent out here have been pretty knowledgeable and very friendly. I feel like they were considerate because it was very hot here. The AC went out last year and another one went out this year, so I had two different contractors and they both did the job adequately. So far, I’m very pleased with 2-10 and it seems like they got right on it each time. It also seems that it was only the contractors and the ordering of parts that I needed to wait for, but it was immediate. When I had a need, they were right there.

    After we closed on our property, the air conditioning quit. We had to call 2-10 for an air conditioning check and the problem turned out to be a minor thing that could be fixed easily. The young man who came out was very efficient and got the repair done in about half an hour. That was a big plus. Thereafter we also had a refrigerator problem. The ice maker stopped working and the spout in the front wasn't working either. Though for that it took a couple of weeks to get parts, the people who came in to fix that were very nice and they cleaned up after themselves.

    More recently, we had no light or electricity in the living room area and down into one sidewall. The problem was that there was a break in the line in the attic somewhere. The contractor sent by 2-10 had a younger person up in the attic and while he was working from downstairs. It took quite a long time to figure the problem out and track it down. Still, they got my issue fixed and everything is working well now.

    The rate for my warranty with 2-10 has been going up every year. So I'm trying to figure out what options I have with that. For now, I just stay with them because every time the renewal comes up, I just pay it. Unfortunately, we haven't had to use the warranty too often. I am gonna be calling them to find out if they'll allow me to renew at a lower rate. Because there's a lot of other home warranty companies out there that have great reviews that are quoting me a lot less than they do.

    Recently, our water heater went out and in the process of that, two things happened. One is the company that they contracted with came out and said, "Oh, yeah, your water heater's bad. We need to replace it." They ordered a new piece. It came in and then they had some type of issue with one of the employees. He couldn't come out and help install it. So they had to push it back almost a full week. I said, "You already have the diagnosis. You already have the part. If they can't get the people out, why can you not subcontract it out to a different company to come out and install it?" And they said, "Well, in order to do that, we have to send out a whole new contractor. And then they have to decide if there's something wrong with it. And then they have to submit the claim." I thought that was ridiculous.

    I get it if that's just how they do things and it is what it is. But it's not a very good system to have. If you already have the ability to have another company come do it, just contract them to come do it if one company can't. They made it into an issue like it just wasn't something that was possible. So that bothered me. It didn't help the fact that I still had young kids that needed to take showers and we had no warm water. So that aspect of it was frustrating. In addition to that, I don't know who's fault it is, and I haven't followed up yet, but they told me I was getting one water heater, and then a completely different one got installed in my house.

    I don't know if I got a better one or a worse one, but I was a little bit frustrated because the one that I was told I was getting, I did not end up getting. But other than that, making the claim is fairly simple. I just go online and it takes less than five minutes. I haven't had any major issues with the people that they've sent out. I had one where he just didn't respond, so they sent out somebody else. Everybody who's ever come out for any of our calls has been good. The first guy we ever had to come out was for a blown water line behind our fridge and he was phenomenal. He was so nice, so helpful and was willing to do anything he could do to help us out. So that I really enjoyed.

    When I submitted a claim to 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for my air-conditioning they got somebody out right away. When I did so again for my refrigerator, they got somebody out but then that person said it can't be fixed. They said they can order a new one or give me the money. I took the money to buy a better refrigerator and it was great. However, it's seven business days to get the check. Though I had to go 20 days without a refrigerator, I had a great experience with 2-10.

    We called 2-10 when the central air system stopped cooling but the first person who was supposed to come out never came out. Then the next couple of guys they gave us came out and fixed it but it went back into the same mode where it stopped cooling. Someone came out after Memorial Day to fix it and that was when it was fixed the first time. But that same night, it went down. I gave him a call but he hasn’t been able to make it back out. I’ve been calling to find out if they’ll be able to come back out and take a look at it again to see what the situation is, and it has almost been a total of a week now. It’s so hot and I have a five-year old and with him being in the house with the heat, it is starting to get to him. I’ve also called back to 2-10 for three days to see if I can have something done but it keeps going to the automated system and I haven’t talked to anybody after that.

    But this is the first time I've had difficulty. I've had 2-10 since 2016 and the claim is handled pretty quickly. The reps take care of it. 2-10 does their job. It’s just the people that come out. I always prefer that if someone comes out and then they can’t get back to you the next day or the day they say they can, they should at least give you some type of heads up. The communication with the people who are fixing the houses and appliances should be a lot better. Still, I’ll recommend 2-10 to other people.

    I've been a customer of 2-10 since October 2018 and I've only submitted one claim. It was for the air conditioner and I did it online. It took five days to get a contractor out because of the nature of the request and the time of the year but it was great when they came out. There were no problems. Since then, the air conditioner’s performance has been 100%. However, there was a customer service representative that I've worked with a couple of times, and he was extremely rude and made it hard every time I had to talk to him. I've already talked to someone at 2-10 about him and they said that they were gonna try to do something.

    When I first tried to file a claim 2-10, I called them on the phone and it was easy. But the contractor's timing was awful. The first time, he told me that he was gonna be here between 4:00 to 6:00. He didn't get to my house until 8:45 PM when I was putting my kids to bed. But I still made him do whatever he needed to do. Then, he had to come back and he told me that he was gonna be here between 11:00 AM to 3:00, which was great. I left work early but he didn't get to my house until 6:30 PM. And on both times, they never called. They just showed up. I don't have an issue with 2-10, they're great, but they need to work on the vendors that they choose.

    With 2-10's automated system, I was unsure of what to select because I didn't know if I needed to call because of an electrical issue with the water heater or if there was a leak. I knew I needed someone to come look at my water heater but then I didn't know what was going on. I selected "electrical issue" and I was contacted after 24 hours. The techs came by and they said that the inside of my water heater is leaking so I needed to replace it. Those guys had to put in the paperwork with 2-10 first to get the claim approved. They said they would cover up to 200 to 250 and then I would have to pay the difference which turned out to be 80 bucks. We made an appointment for the Tuesday of following week which worked for me because I couldn't take time off work. Thus far, the new water heater has been great.

    I've had 2-10 since I bought the house which is a rental. My property manager submitted a claim and she said it sucks. She said they're slow and unresponsive. The tenant was without a fridge for more than a week and I had to get involved. 2-10 kept sending out the appliance company and every time they sent them out, it would cost me $150 service charge. So, it was like two services charges for 300 bucks. It was a pain in the ass and I couldn't get ahold of anybody over at 2-10. I probably will not stay with it and I'm gonna go to someone else. I would not recommend them to a friend and to anybody.

    We have been with 2-10 for as long as we’ve been here which is 15 years. My wife normally submits the claims but I’ve had to call 2-10 on the phone. I was transferred to another department the only time I called and once I got to the second person and explained what I needed, it was no problem. The part that we needed was gonna take a week to get, unless they went to another supplier which cost more money, and they can get it the next day. I was telling them that since it was a refrigerator, you gotta put food in it, so we needed the part the next day. They accommodated me and paid the extra money. They ordered the part from the other supplier so I was happy. I’m usually anti-extended warranties. I normally wouldn’t buy them at all but my wife insisted we get this one, mainly for appliances and so far, it has been okay. It was an expensive refrigerator, so it was better than buying a new one.

    I have been with 2-10 going on 21 years and up until about two years ago, everything was going along fine. The technicians that they sent out were very cooperative, very friendly and I have no complaints about them. However, this last year, I’ve had two problems and I’ve had a hard time getting my problems resolved. The first one I had was when my air conditioner broke and it was the third time it was repaired. It took a while for them to get the part and get it repaired. Then, I was told that the tub in my washing machine was corroded and had to be replaced. It has been over a week and waiting to hear from 2-10 about what they’re going to do. Yesterday, I spoke with the person who came out and looked at it, and they told me that they have received the part from 2-10, but it was the wrong one for my washing machine.

    All these stuff are 20 years old and appliances have changed over the years. So, there might not be parts for it, but I’m still sitting here without a washing machine, waiting to get it repaired. I spoke to someone from 2-10 yesterday and they told me they would check with the repair person and email me a status, and as of right now, I haven’t received a status. I also had an issue with my coverage at one time. My microwave broke. At first, they refused to replace it because they sent a technician out and he said all the parts in the microwave were plastic, and he could not get parts for it. They wanted me to buy a new microwave. The original contract was if they can’t fix it, they will replace it. In the end, they did.

    Submitting a claim was easy but I was not satisfied with the first contractor. I don't want 2-10 to ever send them to my house. They didn’t do anything. They weren't even in there for 20 minutes. I called 2-10, but they told me not to call 2-10. They said, “We got 30 days, so call us back in 30 days.“ It never did come on. So I called 2-10 back and they sent the other man. That man would not leave my house until he made sure my house was cool. They kept taking the temperature and someone said they would wait till it gets to a certain temperature before they would leave.

    I’m gonna call them back though. They fixed it, but I think in one of the rooms, air is not coming through good enough which can be a little hot in one room. For the other part, he told us that if it didn’t work, call him back ‘cause if it didn’t, he still had some new unit or will do something after so many days. But so far, it’s still working. It'd be 13 years the end of this month that I've been been 2-10 and I would recommend them to a friend. I’m trying to recommend them to my cousin.

    Submitting our claim to 2-10 has been very confusing. We had an emergency claim that we had to submit and we went through the wringer. We couldn't find the phone number to call. Also, it took a good 45 minutes to get somebody for us and the person whom we spoke to barely spoke English. On top of that, they gave us the wrong information.

    The first time their contractor came, the tech just walked in and said that I needed to replace my toilet. However, he didn't know how we needed to claim the funds. I called 2-10 and nobody there really knew how for me to get reimbursement for the toilet we purchased. So, I just said, "Forget it”, and then he took off. That time, we paid $100 for that guy to walk in and say that we needed to replace our toilet. He didn't even remove it or do anything.

    Another time, we had to have our AC worked on and 2-10's contractor replaced the coil. But then, we're still having trouble with our AC. I made further calls to 2-10 but there is still a language barrier. Furthermore, we can't get a supervisor. Still, because of the cost and the fact that they they cover our pool and our septic, we’re gonna keep them for this year and then we’re gonna get another company.

    When I purchased my home, 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with it. I just went ahead and renewed it with them and I've been with them for around two and a half years. The process to submit a claim is not difficult. They contract somebody and the contractor would set up an appointment. But the wait between the contractor and going back and forth with the contractor and 2-10 can be a headache sometimes.

    The first time I had a claim with them, the contractor was fairly in a reasonable time. The second time, which was for a washing machine, a contractor came out in a reasonable time, but to repair my appliances took about three months. The holdup was a part. They explained to me that the circuit board had to be made and that was what was taking so long. Supposedly, the part was on order, then it became backordered, and then they said they had one, but then they ended up not having one. It took about three months to get it in and that was very frustrating for me because I have three kids and we have to wash clothes. I had to go to a laundromat and I have a newborn at the time. It was very difficult for three months.

    Also, the claim with the central air conditioning was terrible for me because there was a lot of back and forth. During that time, we had up to 90-degree weather and I had no way to cool the house. It was miserable in here. Also, as far as customer service, the contractor was terrible because they would never answer the phone. It would go to voicemail and I would leave a voicemail but majority of the time, there wasn’t a callback. That’s the only downside about the contractor. The process took two and a half weeks. If it wasn’t as hot as it was, it would have been tolerable. Other than that, as far as politeness, with 2-10 and when the contractor reached out to me, they weren’t rude.

    My home has been covered by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for 14 years. I had a recent claim for a water heater that started leaking. And it was like 19 years old, so I knew that was what it was. Filing the service request with 2-10 was fairly easy. They sent out a fantastic guy, and he ended up putting in a bathroom for me. So, I liked him that much. He was a good guy. I would highly recommend him.

    I had a contractor several years ago that was not good. It was the hot water heater at that time, and he said that I needed a very expensive part, and he ordered it. And then, my boyfriend came in from out-of-town, and he said that was not what it was. It was like a 45 cent-piece and he put it on and fixed it. And so, for both sides, it was a good thing that we found that out.

    I purchased a home years ago and 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was part of the closing deal. I kept up with it after that and I’ve been with them for seven years. It was easier to keep it and not switch companies since I already had it established. When I submitted a claim, I spoke to a representative and the interaction was good and easy. The contractor cleaned up after themselves and the interaction was also good.

    It's real easy to submit a claim to 2-10. I prefer to call them. I think it is a little easier. Most things I do online but actually calling is just so fast. They pick up almost immediately. The issue is that the contractors come out and look at the issue first then they come out and do the repair later. I called 2-10 for a water heater claim on Monday and there was a pretty quick turnaround. I liked that 2-10 put in the emergency status but the company didn’t really recognize it too much. They came Wednesday to look at it and then came mid-day Friday to actually do the installation. It wasn’t unreasonable at the time. But when you run out of hot water, you don’t want to wait the whole week. We had a one-week-old so it was kind of rough.

    It's a general thought that when a water heater leaks, you replace it. There's no fixing it. But he came out, looked it, said, "Yup, you need to replace it," and basically left. I was like, "I told you it needed to be replaced." He could have been a little faster. It felt like the contractor felt pretty secure in having 2-10's business. So it's like they would come when they would come. But it wasn’t the worst experience. There was a little bit of wasted time there but that was the biggest thing I've had. I've had mostly very small things. I just wish 2-10 would vet their contractors a little bit more, look at higher reviews and see what people are saying about them. If you look this contractor up, they're rated a 2-star. It's not great.

    There was also once where a claim was put in but I had to follow up a couple of times with certain larger orders and I called the contractor out on it. Something else a contractor did was tell me they put in something with 2-10 but I called 2-10 and they hadn’t put it in at all. So they lied to me to keep me placated. But 2-10 called them directly at that point and tried to verify what was going on. The contractors are generally lackluster and they're all different businesses. But they get the work done. The water heater, for instance, has been great since the repair. The contractor did the work fine. It was just going between them and 2-10 and then the constant calls. The 2-10 personnel themselves are really great too. I wouldn't deal with 2-10 too harshly. They've been fine and I'd like to have them in my pocket just in case something happens.

    It was really easy to submit a claim with 2-10. I did it online and the contractor that came out did a great job. They were really good, knowledgeable, kind and respectful. We still ended up paying about $800 out-of-pocket, which was a little surprising, but it could have been double that. Plus the experience with 2-10 was fast.

    2-10 did their job like they were supposed to. They were very nice. But the contractor was irresponsible and did whatever he wanted. He came out, didn’t even do like five minutes and said, “This is our lunchtime. Let me get your credit card to take the $100.” 2-10 said they couldn't find another contractor so I totally understand. They already sent some parts to the guy and he told me, “As soon as I receive the part, I’m gonna come and fix the air conditioner unit immediately.” I called them, they called him, and he said, "It will be another two to three weeks."

    I had to ask 2-10 if I can get a guy. I said, "Just send me the check, whatever you guys approve, and I’ll just pay the rest out of my pocket." So, that’s what ended up happening. I got a guy that came in the next day. He came and fixed the unit, and it’s functioning and working excellently. Everything’s taken care of. I'm very satisfied with 2-10 and I would recommend them to a friend.

    2-10 was purchased at the time that I bought the condo and I've been with them for a year. Some of the contractors that 2-10 has sent were large businesses and they knew the game pretty well. Some of them were smaller businesses and you could tell they were more honest with what they were doing. My water heater was leaking and it would make it easier for me to be able to use my own people. If I knew a plumber, I’d rather use the plumber than theirs but that puts it out of network and it doesn’t work well.

    I’ve had coverage with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for two years and they have been great to work with. I’ve had zero difficulty in submitting claims. One day, my air conditioner would not come on and I called them. They immediately dispatched a contractor in a day or two. The HVAC guys were prompt. They got in contact with me and scheduled, at my convenience, when they could come out. The timing was fine and the guy came out and had a look. He was very nice, polite and professional. He determined that it was an electrical issue with the electrical panel. The electrical service was not providing enough power to the AC unit. Then he left, and the electrical company came.

    2-10 gave me the name of an electric company and I called them. We couldn’t get anything scheduled for 14 days and because it was a sub panel and potential issues, they called 2-10. They said that it was their earliest appointment and if we needed to call them back, we could do so. We could also call 2-10, who would help us out with another electrical company. They had no problem with it. I called 2-10 back and I told them what was going on, and they hooked me up with another electrical company, which came out by the end of the week. It was a few days, so it was great. They determined the problem were the sub panels in the house. They took care of everything. I would recommend 2-10.

    We are so dissatisfied with our home warranty experience. 2-10 does everything it can to get out of covering your claim. Our A/C went out at the end of the summer. It took weeks to get a repairman and then the one they sent had ** scabs all over his body. He was so scary, I would not let my daughter be at the house when he came. He eventually just stopped coming and another, nice young man came. 2-10 sent a replacement coil that was nowhere near the correct size, expecting him to refit it - of course, on his own time. When he refused, we had to wait another several weeks for the right part to come in. By the time it was all back in place - more than a month later, the weather had changed and we never got a good test of the repair.

    Now that it is springtime and we have hot temperatures again, the system is right back where it was, freezing up again. 2-10 contacted the contractor, telling him they expect him to fix it. He told us they never give them the parts or time to do the repairs correctly. When they told us we would have to pay another $100 claim fee to a new contractor and wait days until they could come, we decided to cancel our 2-10 warranty and go with a real contractor. With >90 degree days for the rest of the week, we don't want to mess around with another incompetent contractor. It may cost more, but not in irritation. Having a home warranty kept us from getting a reliable contractor to fix the problem right the first time. We will never go the home warranty route again.

    I’m fortunate enough to have used them only twice and in the middle of one of those experiences now. 15 to 20 minutes phone calls. No easy way to communicate via email or secure message. My second claim on a central AC unit was due to smoke coming from the unit throughout the house. Was weeks before an HVAC tech made it out, first contractor never responded requiring a new one be sent, same pattern I saw about 10 months ago when reported unit not cooling effectively. The motor burned up, so I have diagnosis. Call warranty company, they need me to wait for them to assess diagnosis they don’t have yet. I had it in my hand, could fax or email to them.

    Lady I talked with seemed dismissive and kept repeating script, always repair units vs. replace. Repairing my unit apparently will require removing a wall to get to the panel needed... so not happening. I asked about options to take estimated repair costs and pay to me to help reduce cost of just replacing the unit (a good option for us both since they just had me Renew for another year and would be on the hook for whatever breaks on it next). Not asking for thousands of dollars, just a few hundred (far less than I paid for this warranty). She was dismissive, repeated script and when I voiced concerns about the this being worth what was paid she repeated a line from script about repairing always being preferred and frustrated I asked to cancel the extension I just made 4 weeks ago. She’s clearly not concerned about that and I transfer into what after a 5 minute wait a voicemail where I left my info and Request and complaint.

    Maybe other warranty companies are better, this one is really not worth it. I get the payment and repair policy, but the delays getting diagnosis and indifference to your home being uncomfortable (or worst when hotter outside) is unacceptable. Knowing it’s 2 weeks before you even get a diagnosis and then they have a review period, I’m sure will insist on tearing out a wall at my expense and so on makes it worth nothing to me. Maybe if they acted like they cared or would be flexible even slightly I could see some value here.

    First off it's $100 PER visit!! This is the first thing you need to ask. This is an outrageous price!! I had a home warranty where it was $25-50/visit depending. I put in my request yesterday for my AC that broke and my disposal. I called the AC company they referred me to today -- didn't come into the office until 9 am. They can't come out until tomorrow while temps are 100 degrees! We are melting and have a child and dogs. So no big concern there for 2-10. Called the plumbing company. They put the work order in and they have NO RECORD of my work order.

    I already regret having this home warranty and do not plan on renewing unless things turn around big time. I will update for every single work order for I think companies that are bogus should be shut down. Get your act together and TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER. I have now been on hold for 10 minutes to try and find out where my work order is for the disposal!

    We had 2-10 when we first bought our house and we extended it. We’ve had 2-10 on the house that we live in going on eight years. Then, we have two rental properties and we have home warranties on those. Last year, the AC unit outside the house gave us issues and a technician came out. He said it needed to be replaced and he was going to notify 2-10. From there, we heard back that they weren’t gonna replace the unit outside. They were just gonna replace the compressor on the inside, which was the main piece. Even at that point, the technicians were shocked that they would put a new compressor in a unit that was 20 years old.

    A year from then, the compressor acted up and 2-10 said the same thing that the technician said. The compressor has gone bad and the outside unit needs to be replaced. He will report it back and 2-10 should be putting in a new one. A couple of days later, we heard back that they were not gonna replace it but they were gonna replace the compressor for the second time. That threw us through a loop. So, we were starting to get concerned with that. They did what they ended up doing in replacing the compressor.

    A week later, our AC froze so, we had to call again and have somebody come back out to see what the issue was. We were calling the company, R & S Heating and Cooling Solutions, for over a week without a response, and we could not get anyone to call us back and give us a date and the time when they were coming to fix the unit. We had to call multiple times every day. Finally, my wife called from a different number and they happened to pick-up, and she was able to get them to come out, but it’s almost like we had to be sneaky to try to trick them in answering our calls. That was annoying but they were nice once they spoke to us and came. They finally came back out and fixed the leak but it took about a week.

    At one point, even 2-10 was saying they were gonna send us a whole different company and start all over. We have a newborn in the house and a three-year old. It was just too much. We told them not to do that. We had this issue before. It was an ongoing thing which lasted all summer before it initially was fixed and so, we felt like this was gonna happen again to us if we switch companies. It was not a good experience.

    The AC is working now but our fingers are crossed it doesn’t go out on us. It just keeps giving us problems. It’s probably gonna go out on us again. The technician originally said that if he would replace the compressor, he didn’t know how long it was gonna last, which was why we were frustrated with 2-10. They did not replace the whole unit outside, two technicians told us that it needed to be replaced, but went about fixing until it can’t be fixed anymore. We’ll just wait for it to break down again. I have someone coming out to one of the rental properties today to fix stuff. We use the warranty but the headache one would definitely be our AC unit. Also, it’s difficult to submit a claim on the phone. You’re on hold for a very long time.

    The ice maker wasn't working and the contractor has been wonderful to work with. The man who has come to the house has been the same person who has been coming. It took a couple of visits because he ran into some problems with it. After he fixed it, it wasn't fully fixed. Something froze up and they had to come back. I talked with them and they told me what to do and I did it. I called 2-10 and explained it. 2-10 called them and gave them a go ahead and it was all good.

    I did call 2-10 and they offered for another company that would be closer. I said, "Well, I really prefer to work with these people I'd already talked to 'cause I found them so pleasant to work with on the phone," and 2-10 said that was fine. They came and didn't complain. They were prompt too. I was very pleased with them. It's the first time that I have used a warranty and I've owned about 7 different homes in my lifetime. I had a little hesitation, but everything worked fine. I didn't run into any snags. I was concerned that maybe things wouldn't work out well, but they did. There wasn't any difficulty.

    2-10 was recommended to us and we’ve been with them for almost a year. My wife submitted the claim for the dishwasher by phone and she had a lot of interaction with the rep. They went back-and-forth around the decision to either cut a check to replace the appliance or to repair the part and to try to come up with a reasonable solution. The service contractor was great. We had a little communication issue around the timing for him to make the delivery but it was not a negative experience. We followed up with the appliance provider and they responded immediately. He was very through and very helpful in getting the appliance installed correctly and working properly.

    2-10 uses a lot of re-manufactured parts and they tend to end up preferring to repair as opposed to making a replacement. When you look at the total cost, sometimes, it might be less expensive for 2-10 to actually replace the appliance. So, it’s almost like you have to negotiate with them to get them to do a replacement on something that they may end up having to repair again and incur additional expenses. The dishwasher was a good example. The replacement was very close to the cost of repair so, we got it replaced.

    2-10 was purchased for me when I bought my new home which I've been in for about nine months. They're very apt to tell you something might not be covered. The very first time I called them, they told me, "It's probably not gonna be covered." The second time I called them for another problem, they said, "Some things may not be covered." I didn't particularly like that. It was more about, "You might get a bill for what gets done," as opposed to saying, "We'll send someone out there to take a look at it and find out what's going on."

    First time, it cost me $100 and 2-10 didn't do anything but take $100 out of my pocket. I had just bought my house and the AC wasn't working like it was supposed to. I was told by my realtor to call the warranty company if something didn't work, and 2-10 told me it was not covered. If they're gonna give a home warranty with the purchase of a home, there should be no waiting period or they should send someone out to confirm everything is working properly before they offer coverage.

    We've had 2-10 for almost a year now, but we are not renewing with them. We’ve had a couple instances where I’ve called and I’ve talked to people. We have had one garage door claim, where the springs broke, so I couldn't get out of my house. But there was a timing issue, so the contractor wasn't gonna be able to get out there. Then, we had sump pump failures, and I’m in the Kansas City area, and we’ve had 18 inches of rain. When I called 2-10, we had two inches of water in the basement and they said they might be able to have somebody out in 48 hours. My furnace could've been ruined if I just allowed that water to come out. So time is of the essence there. But 2-10 has a timeliness issue, especially with critical things. When I have water pouring into my basement and then somebody tells me, “We’ll try to get with you within the next 48 hours,” doesn't cut it because if I had actually waited, it could have ruined so many more things.

    With the air conditioner claim, 2-10 did okay with that. I wasn't too terribly disappointed. At first, they had a Real Estate company that had some side-business for air conditioning come out. I was told they would be contacting me some time through close of business tomorrow. I called 2-10 back at 2:00 and I told them that I didn't understand why they were sourcing somebody that was a Real-Estate company to come look at my things. I talked to this lady, and she said that was messed up, so she changed it and sent out somebody new.

    I live in Linwood, Kansas, and the people that 2-10 sourced to come out and do an assessment of the air conditioner were from Blue Springs, which is literally over an hour away. So I sat there and clarified to the rep that there was nobody within half an hour of where I live that can do an assessment of the air conditioner. She said she would look again, and that there was somebody within three miles. But the Real Estate number that they had was a computer company. It wasn’t even the right number. So, 2-10 sent out an electronic notification to a company that effectively doesn't even exist. It was real comedy of errors that makes you just don’t wanna be doing business with 2-10.

    We had them look at the furnace as well, and the heat exchanger. I’m out of town on business back then but I did get a picture of it where the heat exchanger was ruined as well. The tech said it would have been red-tagged to where we cannot use it because of so much carbon monoxide and it leaked out. So, not only did we lose our air conditioner, we also lost our furnace. But by the time I knew about it, they already had my furnace hauled away.

    Once the air conditioning guy submitted the information to 2-10 about all the stuff that needed to be replaced and what was wrong, he said it was toasted and it was not worth the cost of it to replace. 2-10 had to go talk to somebody else. Two days later, I told them the maximum that they were gonna give me for this was $1500. I asked them if they could give me that money. The rep asked his boss about it and then he came back and he told me they would cut me a check for $1090. Once we got that approval, 2-10 sent the check promptly, and that part was great.

A 50% hike in price is just outrageous. So, I'm probably gonna be looking for another home warranty group and I'll be leaving them.

    I've had difficulties with 2-10 with all the red tape that has to be gone through to get something done. There's a lot of procedures because it's a large company. Nothing takes place quickly. There was a time when we were without an HVAC. Submitting a claim for it online to 2-10 was very easy. However, when their first contractor got out to my location after 36 hours of filing the claim, he couldn't fix my problem.

    So, 2-10 had to get another contractor out and they did so a week later. That company took several weeks to replace the whole system. Still, they were very good and worked through the heat. They weren't expected to but the installers decided so. It was about 140 degree in our attic and they were working in there for hours. It took them about 11 hours to do the work but they got it done that day and they worked so hard at it. Since then, the brand new system has been performing well. It's wonderful.

    I submitted a claim to 2-10 for an air conditioning issue and from the time I called, it took four weeks to get the part and have it installed. To assess the problem initially, the contractor was there a day or two after the claim was submitted. At the time, it sounded like it would take about two weeks but it took four and I'm real disappointed with that. I even called on a Monday and they got the part then I called on Wednesday to see when they were gonna bring the part but they said they were waiting on a PO number that could have given on Monday. The air conditioner is in good shape now. The contractor did a good job. I just think the communication between them and 2-10 was bad.

    I submitted the claim to 2-10 online and it took me a minute to figure it out because I’m not super computer savvy, but once I figured it out, it was totally easy. There was a little bit of miscommunication between technicians. The first technician that came out diagnosed the issues and said that my compressor wasn’t working but couldn’t initially identify why hot air would blow out whenever I turn my thermostat to cool. The technician and I, working together, discovered that the reason that was happening was because my thermostat was also damaged and was turning the heat and air on at the same time. So, it was kicking heat on which was why super hot air was coming out of the vent, which totally baffled us.

    When the second technician came out this morning to do the repair, he had no idea that was the case. So, the first technician didn’t communicate that either to them well or something was lost in translation. I had to tell them that the thermostat was also damaged and they ended up having to relocate it. I did a little bit of drywall repair, which wasn’t a big deal and was totally worth it for being able to have AC now. The technicians weren’t all that great in communicating to us what exactly they were doing. I do building maintenance and construction so, I kinda had an idea what they were doing, but as far as time frame and stuff like that, we didn’t know what was going on most of the time. Other than that, everything else was great. If they didn't have to wait so long for the part, I’m sure it would have been done way sooner than it was.

    I had two claims with 2-10 and I think they can streamline things. The first problem I had was the toilet. I had to wait for somebody to come out, to get that 48-hour period before they show up, and they did. They looked at the toilet, and then they left. And then you get a call from 2-10, and then they tell me the toilet can't be replaced because of crystallization, and I'm like “Are you kidding me? I've only been here a couple of days. I didn’t crystallize.” So, I had to call my realtor, Michelle. She contacted some supervisor she knew because she does a lot of business with 2-10.

    The plumber was back out and had the toilet replaced after Michelle spoke with somebody, who I think was a supervisor on 2-10's end. So, she sent an email, and then sent me a copy. That whole thing with the toilet took two weeks, which was aggravating. And then, the second claim I had to call in, and they gave a number of the vendor, and he showed up. I paid him the $100 like I did for the toilet. He showed up and said, “I can tell you right now, you're probably gonna need a new coil pack.” It was about $1,500. It was the big part. He said, “But 2-10 asked me to put Freon in here, do a pressure check,” that he did. It was real low. He thought there were leaks, and then they said, “But I'll put the Freon on. They want me to do it this way. So, I did it.” He wasn’t gone two hours and the temperature in my house really never got below 78, and it was 84 that day inside my house.

    So I called back up 2-10, and they said, “Okay. We'll send the man back out.” He comes back out and looks at the part. He said, “Yup, it's what I thought it was.” He had to order it. That whole fiasco took two weeks and it was brutally hot in my house. It reached as high as 88 degrees. I called and spoke to about three people. One other lady was nice enough because I asked to speak to a supervisor and she tried about four times, but she couldn’t get through, and she said, “Look, I've got other clients I gotta work with. I can't really stay on the line. But I'm going to pass you in and just let it ring.” Finally, that lady spoke to me and said she couldn’t get me a number of a supervisor, but that she would pass the information in to whoever it was to get the part. I wasn’t left on the phone for 48 minutes to have somebody tell me they can't get me a supervisor. That’s crazy. I know there's a supervisor available somewhere.

    I called back the man doing the air conditioning. Whoever called up 2-10 asked for the wrong part. At this point, I was just exhausted mentally and physically. I called up Michelle and I said, “Look, I'm sorry to bother you. I know it's been three, four months, whatever it's been, since I bought the house, but is there anybody you can contact on my behalf?” I explained everything and she contacted somebody at 2-10. Within a couple of hours, somebody from Colorado called me, apologized, said the part will be reordered again, and the air conditioning man will be in tomorrow. He came in the next day, fixed the air conditioning, and it's been working fine since.

    When you've got enough COPD, you can't breathe as it is, living in North Carolina and you're in the middle of a heat wave, there's gotta be a way to streamline the claims process. There's gotta be a hotline number. And if you asked to speak to a supervisor, you shouldn’t stay on the phone for 45 minutes. That’s crazy. And I did. I stayed on the phone for exactly 48 minutes.

    The work itself when it finally got done was quality work by the vendors. It was just getting approved through the insurance company to get all the stuff done that’s just a hassle. And then, I had to pay a cost that I wasn’t aware of besides the $100. I had to pay $170 disposal fee, and I didn’t know about that. I live on Social Security. And at that point, I was thinking, “Well, maybe somebody would at least labor that or something,” and they didn’t. But anyway, it took me all that time.

And I was told by the plumber that the lack of hot water wasn’t considered an emergency, so I had to wait for a business day.

    We’ve had 2-10 for two and a half years, which was when we bought the house and then, we just continued with it. I submit my claims over the phone and it is automated so, it’s fast. In my claim not quite two years ago, the original person they were trying to send out never contacted us, so we ended up going through somebody local. 2-10 was accommodating in that way and it was smooth.

    One time, I had a wall oven that was a certain size and the replacement that was gonna be acceptable didn't it in the hole. But that was all they were gonna pay toward it. So, that didn't seem logical if I couldn't get one and it left me trying to find something else and just taking the buyout. That was a little frustrating. It took forever to get the oven taken care of. They continued to try to repair the part and rebuild the board. Then, they finally said that they were gonna have to replace it. I went two months without an oven, which was challenging. I get the steps that they need to take and that they don't wanna replace something right off the bat. It just seems like it took a long time but probably that’s just the process of the contractors. On hindsight, it’s better to just replace it right away and not go through the hassle and replacing all the other stuff.

    2-10 just leaves the service up to the contractor that they dispatched. Once the people has come out, has figured out what was wrong and has diagnosed it, they would let 2-10 know about it. However, it would be nice to be alerted by 2-10 on what the contractors are doing, what the next steps would be and what to expect. I usually end up calling for status, and they would say that they have approved the materials and it would take five days to order it. So, I would just be sitting here and not knowing that if I hadn't called. An email or whatever is less cumbersome would be nice.

    I had a leak at the bottom of my kitchen sink and I thought it was the faucet because there was a lot of water. I called a plumber to come to the house. Then, I called 2-10 Warranty to make sure that they were okay with having this contractor come in and do the work. The first representative said to go ahead and move forward, so I did. And then the contractor said he needed to get this money upfront and I said my warranty would be covering it.

    I called back 2-10, got a separate representative, and talked to her for a few minutes. Then, I got both the representative and the contractor on the phone at the same time, on speaker. I wanted to make sure that everybody was on the same page, that I was clear in saying that I am given the contractor permission to do the work, and that 2-10 Warranty would do 100% reimbursement on all the stuff in the invoice. The rep said yes. I gave them the actual quote of 800 dollars and they acknowledged before I proceeded.

    However, I got another follow-up about a week ago, saying that that process was not the right process, but I would still get reimbursed for all those that were done. It's a little bit confusing on the representative's side and it was definitely confusing on my side. I got acknowledgment from two representatives to make sure they both understood what I was saying. Other than that, everything else is good. All those difficult part of it is done and I've submitted my invoice to the customer support. Now, I'm waiting on the check.

    I've been a customer of 2010 since 2001 when I first built my house and I maintained the warranty coverage with them for almost 19 years. There are other options, but I had had good experience, the price seemed reasonable, and they offered to some level the coverage that I needed. And up until this time, my experience in submitting claims with them were great.

    Recently, I called their 1-800 number and I told them the problem. They assigned me a work order number and it went downhill from there. This is the first time I've had a bad experience with them and I was really shocked. So, my air conditioner went out on May 7th and I contacted them early on May 8th. Three days later, I saw the first contractor that they assigned the work order to. I know it could take a couple of days but when the technician came out, he let me know that he wasn’t a repair technician. He was a diagnosis technician. But I told him that I didn’t need a diagnosis. I needed someone to repair the AC. This was on a Saturday and at that point, my air had been out for four days. He said he'd have to go back to my company and they’d dispatch another team to come out and figure out what was wrong and repair it.

    So, on Sunday, they were closed. On Monday, I never heard anything. Then on Tuesday, half of the day passed and I still never heard anything. So, I called 2-10 and at this point, it has been a week already. They let me know that they’ve never got the diagnosis report from the technician that came out. So, he never went back and wrote up whatever to send to 2-10 to determine what the insurance would pay for and what I would have to pay for. By then, I was sick because it was at 95 degrees and that was mother’s day week and my mom was here. I had to send her back home early because it was too hot. So, 2-10 said that they'd find another contractor that could do the work and I had to start the process over again.

    With the second company they assigned my work order to said that I would not have to pay the $75 fee because I had paid it to the first one that didn’t do anything and didn’t respond. They assigned a new work order number, I got my confirmation email, and the company was supposed to call me within 24 to 48 hours. I waited three days and I never heard from the company. So, I called 2-10 again. I let them know that about the issue and that I have been trying to reach the contractor they gave me because I know they were busy and it was weird because the company name didn’t even have a voicemail that says, “You have reached XYZ HVAC.” It was like a personal cellphone number that have the sound of Verizon. So, I asked 2-10 to put me on hold and call this company number so they'd see what I was saying. It didn't even seem like a real business.

    2-10's rep did that and when she came back, she said that she got the same thing. She said it was like a personal cellphone and it didn’t even mention the business name or who the business owner was. It just says, “Please leave a message.” So, I told her that it's been three days that they haven't responded and that was not gonna work. Once again, 2-10 said that they'd close out the work order, I wouldn't have to pay another fee, and that they've reassigned me to company three. At this point, I was concerned about the people that 2-10 are contracting to do business with.

    But we've gotten progress now. The third company was assigned on May 15th and I finally got somebody who had a real company that really answered their phone. The guy came out and did a diagnosis of what he thought was the problem on May 16. He wrote up everything and sent it to 2-10. Then he was waiting on 2-10 to order the parts. So, the parts were ordered and they finally came in. He came to install them on Thursday, the 30th. We made arrangements for my husband and I to be home and the tech came at 10 o’clock that morning. He ran into all of his snack but he was at my house at 10:15 to after 6 o’clock.

    But he had to come back the next because there was a part of the repair that he needed to get someone to help him with. So, he came back on the 31st with another gentleman and supposedly, the issue was fixed. In fact, I had air running on the 31st and we thought we were done. But I noticed that my air was running but it kicks on and off once it gets to the desired thermostat temperature. I wanna keep it at 75 but the air never cut off. By Sunday, I thought that my bill was gonna be crazy and I had to do something. So, I turned the whole unit off with my thermostat and even though it was on off, the air was still blowing. So, at that point, my system was running for two days straight, never turning off, and I had it on off.

    So, I shut it down and my husband did it too. And even thought it's shut down, I'm still getting air off the vent. Something is not right, so I called the tech up and he said he’d be there first thing Monday morning to look at it. This was yesterday and he said that one of the parts that he had gotten was burnt out. We now know that he put a refurbished part in, not a new part, and I don't know how that happened. It was some kind of board that burnt out and he said he had to get a new one. He told us it could take two or three days and at this point, my husband is furious.

    Someone called from 2-10 today to follow up on our repair and we let him know about this last problem, which they had no clue about. They said it could take until the next Monday to get this new part and that’s when my husband blew a gasket. So, the gentleman came back today, the last couple of hours, with a new board that’s supposedly gonna fix the issue. I'm hoping it was done. But it's been almost a month and to me, that’s so unacceptable.

    I've always had good experiences with 2-10 but as an almost 20-year customer, AC is a common thing. They need to get me somebody that can fix it. With my last claim, I've been so patient. Also, some of the customer service reps I've talked to didn't seem to care that this was going on for weeks even though I told them what I was going through. All in all, this situation has made me second-guess the services that I expected from 2.-10 I understand they're out west and they have the contract, but I'm not sure of the vetting process that they used with this contractor and that makes me wonder who I'm letting in my house. The second one never called back or responded to the email, and 2-10 couldn’t get them. It made me feel creepy and I didn’t even want that person, whoever it was.

    My experience submitting a claim with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was okay. I felt that mine was a different situation because my home has a split AC unit. So, explaining what was going on to an automated system wasn’t really helpful specifically. I ended up having two separate problems that Ready Heating and Air was able to take care of for me. I was a little bit discouraged at how long it took being that it was an AC problem in getting the authorization for parts to be consigned and shipped. It took close to a week and having no AC. I understand when I called, it was a Friday afternoon, so I knew there was gonna be some delay. And then it was coming before a holiday weekend, so I can only imagine the amount of volume. But I was discouraged that the solution took a week when parts could have been easily handled on the service provider’s part and then reimbursed instead of having consigned parts.

    I work at a field that also deals with insurance and consignments, so I understand it’s part of the relationship there. But altogether, I was satisfied with the end result. But that was solely on the part of Ready Heating and Air. After the initial claim, I don’t think I heard anything from 2-10 at all about the part consignment, the work authorizations, or really anything. I ended having to reach across for a customer service rep because I had a split unit. And then, talking to the service rep about the coverage details and limitations was a bit frustrating. It was kinda like pulling teeth to have them tell me why I wouldn’t have coverage. It ended up being consequential damages.

    My lower unit stopped pushing cold air and caused my upper unit to freeze over. Before we knew it, it ended up dumping out a lot of water onto my master bedroom ceiling. And so, that was what we were trying to communicate with them to make sure that things are being handled in an expedient manner. We had already gotten towels and tried to dry everything up, but once drywall gets wet, it’s wet. So, trying to get some understanding on why coverage was not provided for that was a bit taxing. But the lady that I spoke with was very professional. And as far as I could tell, to the best of her abilities, did a wonderful job at handling the claim and the interaction.

    I kept telling her that I wasn’t trying to be difficult and I just wanted to find out why. I’m looking at either filing another claim for the water damage in my wall, which she didn’t tell me I could not do because of the nature of the damage. So, I ended up having to use my homeowners insurance rather than the home warranty for that because of the consequential damages. Even though I did what I could to mitigate damage, it had already been done. It happened overnight while everyone was sleeping. In the end, she was able to provide me with a satisfactory reason for that and was even able to point out the section/paragraph of the coverage document. Still, she wasn’t able to provide me that, which I thought was a bit unorthodox. But then again, she wasn’t able to do an outbound email portal, so I understand that.

    The service contractor did everything they could to expedite the service. They even had to come back out because once the new pressure system has been in place, it actually blew out one of my other ducting in the bottom half of the house. And the service tech came out on a Saturday night after he did a full-day job in Montgomery. So, he had been on the road all day and still took the time to come out and make sure everything was right on his own time. He was fantastic.

    He made this whole experience bearable because we’re talking about an Alabama summer of 100 degrees everyday. And having to wait a week and having them explain why parts aren’t in because they’re not consigned or they’re in process of being authorized and then delivered was very frustrating. I understand that in a warranty situation, you have to make sure that everything is being handled properly. But I think the expedited process should be something that should be more productive.

    I understand that there are limitations that 2-10 has to go through, but I’ve had other friends and coworkers that have had similar situations. A lot of other different agencies have handled this. It’s AC. It’s occupancy standard, especially in the summer here in the South. My home was technically unoccupiable for five days, but we had to deal with it because of timeliness standards of 2-10.

    2-10 came with the purchase when we purchased our home in August of 2018.

But I was promptly called back. The contractor came right away that day because when I said it was leaking 100%, it had exploded in our garage. So, he was prompt to come but then, he said he could come back by Wednesday. I said, "But we're leaving Thursday of next week." He never indicated that he was coming back after that. It had to go through 2-10 for them to cover it. We were as quick as we could have been, and it was almost two weeks before he could come back out.

    When I called back to see when he was gonna be able to come, he asked for us to contact the city to mark our water meter. We did that and he said, "I'll let you know." Then I called him back again and he said he had forgotten about us. Luckily, it was 90 and 100 degrees last week and the week before so cold showers were not horrible. Still, it wasn’t convenient.

    I was really disgruntled and unhappy with the claims process. From the time I initiated the claim, it took about 3 weeks before any repair was done to my house. They had to wait for the parts to be delivered and no one ever contacted us. I had to reach out to 2-10 to figure out the status or when someone was coming out. I called the repair place and they said they had been trying to reach me. Whoever 2-10 is contracted to does not provide emergency situation because I had a pregnant wife at home and we couldn’t stay cool. The AC wasn’t cooling. I had the temperature set for 72, but it would not get lower than 76 degrees. We had the baby that following Saturday, and we had to come home, and again, the AC was not fixed.

    They told me to try to go with somebody else. I had to go through another whole process of trying to get the work approved. 2-10 should have somebody on standby for emergency situations like that. I had no choice but to wait ‘til the contractor came and we stayed at a relative’s home for at least a day or two. With our kids, that was overwhelming. It wasn’t enough space so it was a real inconvenience for us. The repairs were at least completed but it's a $100 service call and after that I still had to pay additional $173 for some uncovered repairs. So, that defeated the purpose of the service call since we had to come out and pay more. Other than that, I'm pleased with the whole process.

    My water heater blew up and initially my claim with 2-10 was fine. They sent a company out to evaluate the problem. But it wasn't the smoothest process because they didn't treat it like it was an urgent issue. The whole house was without hot water for about four days, rather than giving me the opportunity to go out and just buy myself, and then just reimburse me back end. I don't think I would work with 2-10 again because they just drag their feet every step of the process.

    First off they told me, "We have 24 hours to send you somebody." But the first person that they chose bailed. And so then it was an additional 24 hours before somebody would come out and assess the problem, which I already knew the problem. But they have this weird situation where they had to have one of their broker people come out and make a diagnosis, like they're doctors, and then once they get the diagnosis then they make the process of ordering the new parts. They told me it could take up to five to seven business days to order the new part because they wanted to go and shop out the cheapest option. I get if that is what it's about. But at the same time what's the family to do?

    And then they said they would cover everything for the install. But when it came actually down to it, they refused to pay for parts of connecting the hot and cold water pipes because they consider that to be modifications rather than part of installing. So, I ended up having to pay additional $180 out of pocket to the person that they selected to do the work because they denied it as part of the warranty that they were covering, which was insane to me.

    The receptionist was fine. But the guy who did the work kind of did a half-ass job because one of the things he was supposed to do was connect the drip pan and drill the drip pan drain line outside of the room that the hot water tank was stored in, and he charged me to do that and didn't actually do it. So, he put the drip pan in with a direct line draining out to hit the floor in the same room that the original water damage occurred in, rather than run the line outside of the room as he was paid to do.

    Our air conditioner compressor had broken and setting up a claim was very confusing because we were told that we didn’t have the coverage that we thought we did, and the vendor was given misinformation. It turned out that our services were covered despite what they originally told us. Eventually, it got straightened out and things got fixed. But we live in Florida and we were up in New York at the time, and it was a difficult situation to handle from a distance. The service people were great and they really advocated for us. The tech realized that the people at 2-10 were giving us the wrong information, so he pushed to make sure that we had the service that we were entitled to. But that shouldn’t have been his job. It should have been up to 2-10 to realize that they were mistaken. They had us down for a different policy other than the one we had paid for, so that was a faux pas on their end.

    I bought a Rausch Coleman house. There was a whole year of the 2-10 warranty and it seemed real smooth. Anytime I talk to anybody, they were very helpful in explaining whatever. They seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s been very painless and the customer service has been excellent. So I’ve been happy and continued to stay with 2-10. Submitting claims was pretty easy as well. I ended up cancelling the one claim I submitted but it went real smoothly and they were able to get the electrician I needed. He contacted me but after talking, I figured it wasn’t really an electrical issue. It was more of a user-issue of some light bulbs. There was some weird connection that wasn’t happening with one of the can lights. I had replaced a bulb and it blinked on and off for about 24 hours. That was why I thought I should call the electrician but of course, right after I did that, it’s been doing fine. I haven’t had any other issues of turning on or off.

    Somebody I know had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty and they recommended it. But the gas water heater claim we had with them was a terrible experience. Submitting a claim was not an issue, it was good, but it was a nightmare after that. 2-10 recommended one contractor. That contractor never picked up the phone no matter how many times 2-10 and I called.

    Then, they asked a different contractor to come. The contractor looked at the situation and submitted a request to 2-10 to install the new water heater. It was okay until then, but after that, this contractor was horrible. He left all the mess here and his workmanship was terrible. My bathroom was all flooded because he just left water all unattended and he left some wires uncovered. Also, he tried to extract money from me for transporting the water heater to my place. He said that those are uncovered expenses and I have to pay in order for them to install the water heater. I told 2-10 about it and they said that because he wants it, I gotta pay. 2-10 could have suggested somebody else. I had to pay $300 to this contractor in order to get my water heater fixed because it kept on delaying and delaying. I just wanted to have it fixed. Other than that, the water heater is working okay now and I'm getting hot water without any problem.

    Our air unit stopped working last Saturday. We called immediately and a technician came out on Tuesday. His report was submitted first thing Wednesday morning. I have called every day for updates (because no one was communicating with me) and tried to be patient. I explained each time I called that it is 100 degrees here and I stay home with my kids. This is a big quality of life issue for us. Every person gave me the same response that they are "doing all they can." I trusted they were until Friday midday when I called to see if our part had come in. They said it was scheduled to be delivered the following Thursday.

    Again, I asked if there was anything they could do to speed this up. They said that since the part had already been shipped, there was nothing they could do. I replied that I had told them in advance how important a timely repair was, to which they replied, that there was nothing they could do now that the part had shipped. I am incredibly disappointed and would not recommend this company to anyone. I could have had this fixed days ago if I didn't have to wait on all of their processing.

    We had a 220-volt outlet in the laundry room that didn't work and there was no washer and dryer here that didn’t get picked up on our previous home inspection. When we went to fire it up, the wires were missing. So, the team that was sent out traced it down and found the wires and reconnected things. Now, we have a working dryer in our laundry room.

    Submitting the claim went easily and the only question was whether or not it would be covered, and 2-10 said they were covered. The electrician that 2-10 sent out was very personable, knowledgeable and did a good job. He came out and took a look at what the situation was, and even worked through some adverse conditions, or very rough access to the attic. The other guys were able to climb up into the attic, over and under some other things, and figured out what wire should have gone where, and where the wires needed to be terminated. They went above and beyond and it was hot that day too. I would have liked to have known quicker that it was covered but we’re grateful for having 2-10.

    I’ve used my own contractor, because any of the contractors that are in network for 2-10 puts me at the end of their schedule. So, typically, if I wanna get serviced, it’s two to three weeks of wait. Also, I had a hot water heater that just went out, and to replace it with the like model, it was $1,700. And 2-10 offered me a buyout of $1,000. 2-10 said that it wasn’t their fault that their contractor was two weeks out, that they couldn’t do anything about that and that it was just kinda the way it went. And that’s easy to say when you’re on the other line and it’s not affecting you. But I had a brand new baby in the house, and we had no hot water. I would say, "We’d work with you a little bit more with contractor," or they would have contractors that would be available, with more than just one option. That would be nice.

    I made a claim over the phone and I wasn't too impressed. I'd made claims several times before when purchasing other properties, so I expected that the person from 2-10 would be a little more knowledgeable about their offers, and that didn't happen. When we asked for them to come out and check out the washer dryer unit that we were having problems with, they said that if it's functional, they couldn't come out and look at it until it broke. That didn't make sense. I also asked if they could come out and check the HVAC because the season is changing and we wanted to make sure there's enough Freon, and they said they couldn't come out until it broke. He wouldn't make that phone call to request the service and I ended up getting a warranty with Sears. He has to be knowledgeable and a little bit more sensitive to first time homebuyers.

    I submit my claims to 2-10 online. I've also had to do it over the phone and the customer service is not great in comparison to other companies I normally work with. But it's not like what I expected when I got involved with a warranty company. Also, the response and working with the contractor is slower than what it should be. For instance, in this particular case, my issue has still not been resolved. Our first contact to 2-10 was the end of April and it will be my third visit about the same air conditioning unit. The AC quit cooling a day before yesterday. We just paid to have it completely filled with Freon, which cost me almost $250, and it froze up. Usually, the reason it freezes up is that it doesn’t have enough Freon in it. So, obviously, there’s a problem. The first time we can get a guy out to take a look at that equipment is June the 3rd.

    Also, we’ve had different things fixed. They send the same workman out to look at it. We’ve had the compressor replaced and it still wasn’t cooling. We had another visit that we had to wait a week and a half to get a contractor back out here. He looked at it again, said that it needed a part to kickstart it when it stops so he came and replaced that part.

    If you had someone that is contracted to come out and do the job, they should do some kinda follow-up and make sure that the work is right instead of us having to wait a week and a half every time it’s not right. They don’t even get back out to check the work that they did. We’re not their first priority. They’re doing other customers and we have to wait at the back of the line to come back to the front, which is ridiculous. I’m sure if 2-10 really cared about customer service, they could do something about that. I’ve had other issues with them and my overall impression is it can be a whole lot better, but in the end, I was glad that I had the insurance.

They're good people and it's a good service. I would definitely recommend them. They're an easy company to work with.

    We got 2-10 warranty when we bought the house, and we've been with them now for about five months. They sent out the contractor to fix the air conditioning because the air that was coming out was not cold. Then the contractor made an appointment and they came on time. They fixed something on the main switch, and now the air conditioning is working good.

    I have a builder warranty that came with my new home and I also purchased my own through the same company to cover my systems and appliances after the 1st year was up. This was the first time I submitted a service request for my ac which is not working/no air flow in 3 of the upstairs bedrooms. I filed, the tech came out and I paid my $75.00 fee/deductible. He was here all of about 2 minutes, out of the attic and already stated the work was not covered.... Somehow he knew my coverage would not cover it.

    It then took 10 days to get 2-10 Home Warranty people to finally call to say "this is not covered, it is not wear and tear" no further explanation. I can not get a knowledgeable person on the line, much less a manager, or a copy of the inspection report from the tech as he won't return my calls.... Hmmm, maybe he didn't like that I didn't pay him directly to do the work?? I've paid for a useless plan, an incompetent call center and a lack of communication. They told me to go back to their contracted vendor and keep trying to get my report, even though THIS IS THEIR VENDOR!

    I had 2-10 when we bought our house two years ago as recommended by our realtor. I had the warranty for the year and then we had let it drop. But recently they helped us sell my husband’s grandmother’s house and our agent was saying, “You should really look at getting it back.” And it has been worth it so far since they need to replace the entire ac unit for me. Normally, those things cost several thousand dollars. The people themselves has been great, but they also have some kinks in their system.

    I originally put their service request through the website, and it was because both of my air handlers were having trouble. So I had somebody come out and look at both. Before they could complete the work, I had to call back in and get a second claim number because there was one separate for each unit. I didn’t even know I had to do that until the AC guys informed me. They couldn’t do it themselves. So I had to call in. That was kind of an inconvenience. I specifically listed two units when I put the ticket in online. Why didn’t anybody inform me or why wasn’t it split into two claim numbers at that time?

    2-10 had our downstairs unit replaced, as well as the coil on the upstairs. And when they checked again there appears to be a leak somewhere in the line on the wall that wasn’t apparent when they first came in. It’s a smaller leak. So, I’m still trying to figure out how to get that done because the AC guy suspects that when we had our siding installed last year, somebody may have punctured the line with a nail. So, I’m also trying to work with the siding company

    2-10 has to be the one to order the part and it takes longer. I’ve been without AC around a month. And from when I checked in with the AC guys at one point, they said that a part had to be reordered and that it was cancelled when they ordered it. I understand 2-10’s doing the purchasing and they’re probably getting a discount since they’re purchasing en masse, but it’s that time period because the AC guys have to wait on that from 2-10.

    2-10 provides good coverage. However, when submitting a claim with them, it's a little difficult to get an actual person on the phone. The automated system is complicated and you have to keep going around and around and around. When I made a claim for the washer, I was contacted the very next day with the guy to do the repairs. He came out to diagnose the problem so that happened quickly. But once he ordered the part, it took about three weeks to get it. 2-10 did not update us on what was going on but the company that they contracted to do the work did. When they finally got the part, the contractors did an excellent job. They scheduled me as soon they had the part and as soon as they could get in, and they fixed it.

    I'm very happy with the coverage that 2-10 provided and I'm happy that the company that they contacted to do the work was competent. Overall, that experience was satisfactory but it could be better. If they could've gotten the parts more quickly, then I wouldn't have had to struggle going to the laundromat for three weeks. They were common parts and weren't special.

I was having an issue with clogged drains. And instead of being under sewer, it was under its own category called snaking. They were asking for further information but it didn’t make sense for my issue. And then, I saw snaking after a while. The problem was not resolved and I had difficulty securing follow-up appointments with the contractor. So I had to go with somebody else to fix the issue, and they were able to fix it for less.

    I don’t like 2-10's overall claim process only because they use off-brand providers. It’s just a bad process when one does business with people that have really low rating. When I submit a claim, I always feel like I get a runaround. I have to call this number, call back this one, call their claims department, call their separate department for this. It’s never an easy conversation. It’s long and drawn out. I have to have an hour and a half to call them.

    If a company comes out and does a bad job, there’s no process to fix it. There are some instances where you have to pay the deductible for another provider to come out, or they’ll call another low-rated company to come out. It has happened to me before where I’ve had bad experience after bad experience after bad experience because 2-10 is getting people that are really ranked at the bottom of the barrel. You’ll call a plumbing company and it’s just like a shadetree mechanic. I'm not even sure if some of these people are licensed. How they get on with 2-10 is beyond me.

    I had a mechanic come recently to look at my hot water tank. He came with his family in a car and he left the car running. He had no tools with him. He told me there was nothing he could do for me with my water tank and that was it. He charged me $75 and did nothing for me.

    2-10 provided an adequate service but some of the communication could've been a bit easier. Sometimes, the online process would work, but more often than not, their website wasn't specific enough for me to submit a claim. It would ask me which system I was gonna submit a request for and when I would pick a system, it would have a list of things to submit for. Then, if the specific item that I wanted to submit a claim for wasn't in one of the options on their lists, it wasn't always clear how to submit my different claim.

    When I would have to contact them via phone, it was a very frustrating phone system to go through. When I actually got a hold of a person on the phone, they were all very nice and helpful for the most part. Still, they should make the process a little easier to get a hold of a person on the phone when submitting or asking questions about a claim. I would have to go through the phone and choose options that I know would send me to a person, even though those are not the actions that I needed. Then, when I got to a person on the phone, sometimes I had to be transferred to the appropriate one.

    They also told me that the contractor has 24 hours to contact me and that they're supposed to come out within 48 hours. But I had an issue once with somebody calling me when he was supposed to contact me in the first day or two. I contacted 2-10 back and they sent the claim to somebody different. Other than that, all the contractors who came out were good.

    All in all, 2-10 wasn't great but they weren't terrible. They were just kind of indifferent. The warranty also served its purpose for what I needed for that year but I wasn't necessarily eager to renew with them. In fact, I hadn't renewed in any home warranty and if I were to renew again, I'm not so sure I would go with 2-10. I would pick somebody else.

    I’ve had a horrible experience with 2-10. We tried contacting them. ‘Till now we’ve had several issues that have not been rectified completely. We’ve had out-of-pocket expenses that makes the cost of owning the home warranty essentially worthless. 2-10 has been useless. It’s been a waste of time. We’ve wasted our money.

    We had a hot water heater replacement and we had two sinks that needed repair. We had to forego one of the repairs alone just to cover the cost of one sink repair. They wouldn’t cover the cost of replacing the water heater so we came out of pocket for that. Also, our HVAC has been serviced six times but we still don’t have a functional HVAC. We’re living in unfit living conditions and it’s 90 degrees in Georgia. They told us the first time they could come out would be the end of this month which is another two to three weeks away. We had first called in for service in April, and we’re talking about getting this HVAC repaired in June. It’s unacceptable. We have poured at least $500 into this HVAC already and it’s not been repaired yet. That’s probably more than the cost of the warranty itself. I’m in a position that everyday I’ve been off, I’ve been hounding companies and trying to get the right answer and the right things done.

    The customer service is awful. When I call in and try to say, “Is there any way we can expedite this HVAC repair?” They say, “Sorry. Read your contract, we don’t have any promise or guarantee on the timing of your repair.” which is disgusting. They didn’t give any information. They didn’t answer any questions adequately. They charged us several occasions to visit and they said they could only reimburse one even though they’ve misdiagnosed. They sent out technicians that gave us the wrong diagnosis that led to this delay. When we told them there was a leak, the technician insisted there was not. We paid him and we’ve had to pay two other contractors over the weekend to give us emergency assistance. I would strongly recommend everyone to stay far away from this company for their home warranty. It is an excessive disappointment.

We got one from 2-10 and we have them for two years now. The service was really good. You call in about a problem, you get somebody out, and it gets fixed. There’s no hassle and the process seems to be very smooth. Everyone’s always wanting to help which is not always the case like with a health insurance company. Their first thing is always deny then you got to go fight and all that kind of stuff. So, it was a breath of fresh air to have a company that stands by what they're selling. We don’t want stuff to break, but if it does, we’d like the assurance that it’ll get fixed on a timely basis, done right, and you don’t have to go fight tooth and nail.

    Recently, we submitted a claim online then somebody called us. It was easy and it didn’t take very long. Then, the contractors came out within a couple days. It was the exact repair we had the previous year where there was a leak in one of the lines of the air conditioning where the pipes are soldered. The first contractor soldered that back up and added the Freon to it. But that seemed to last about a year and this time, the guy came out and couldn't find a leak. He figured that there was a small leak in the system somewhere because it was down to 8 pounds of Freon. So, he put in a sort of an inner tube sealant like you put in a tire to keep a slow leak from making a tire go flat, then added the Freon. Hopefully, it’ll find wherever that small leak is and fix it. Otherwise, we’ll just be back at it again next year and adding Freon every year. But so far, everything’s working great.

    Our home is an original build year of 1996 and with homes that are a bit older in age, it seems to be a more standard practice with home buyers to acquire a home warranty. We were using standard market practice of acquiring a home warranty at the time of purchase. The home seller selected 2-10. Submitting a claim with them has been convenient. It’s been simple and I like that 2-10 has the tendency to offer a voucher or a refund towards the replacement of the appliance. It's kind of leaving it at the discretion of the consumer. A home that’s old also has a tendency to have older appliances. So, that’s been a convenient feature of 2-10.

    So going to the future, if I have to make a choice, that’s probably one of their market differentiators. And I would choose 2-10 almost exclusively because of that benefit of giving the consumer the option to replace appliances at their discretion versus having to go through a long deed of process of break-fix. We’ve had that experience with a different home warranty supplier. Every time that I had a problem with an appliance, it was not for a repair. I just opted immediately to replace the appliance, and that was really convenient. It saved a lot of time of having to go through and have someone come out and troubleshoot, and then essentially, wait to see if the appliance works.

    I would like to see the voucher extend to every single appliance under the home warranty. So for example, I wanted the over-the-range microwave that I also wanted to replace to match the range that I selected to replace. There is nothing wrong with the microwave that was originally there. I just wanted it to match the room. So I didn’t had option with the microwave. I only had the option of having a technician come out. So in order to not falsify any information in regards to the microwave, I did not put any input for the microwave and I just kind of paid full price for the microwave. Other than that, 2-10 Warranty is a fantastic service. Our overall experience is very good.

When we have a claim, we either go online or call in to submit it and the reps we talked to so far were very polite and cordial. We didn't have any difficulty dealing with them. Normally, we'd get an expectation of when the contractor’s gonna call us, which is about 24 hours, and that would be met depending on the claim. For some plumbing and AC claims, it depends on what the contractors' schedule would be and some of them have been very lax and didn’t get to us immediately. We also normally call 2-10 and complain if we don't get a good contractor.

    As for the service provided, we’ve had some very good service and some very lousy service from 2-10's contractors. But they would normally fix the issues for us. The last one that we had was for a plumbing issue and the techs from C & P Plumbing went out to the property and did an evaluation. They were very responsive and good contractors. Right now, they are waiting to go back because they needed access to a pipe they couldn't get to and we had to hire another contractor to give them access.

    I had an issue with my washer and dryer. I submitted a claim over the phone with 2-10 and the rep I talked to was good. She answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything. Then, the tech came out three days later. His professionalism was good and he explained what he did. He said everything was right, then he said that everything was good. But when we went to use the washer at a later date, it was still doing the same thing.

    I contacted the service provider directly after it happened, which was on the beginning of April, and he said that he ordered a part. It’s May 17th now and it’s been over a month at this point but I still haven’t heard anything. I called 2-10 about it and they were trying to transfer me to the purchasing department but the transfer didn't go through. I was at work, so I just hung up. I’m gonna call them back today. Other than that, 2-10 has been very helpful and understanding. What happened was not their fault.

    I've been satisfied with 2-10. It's definitely worth having. They were just more delayed than if I were to do it myself. But it's worth it in the long run. I'm a Realtor and they are referred in our office a lot. I refer them to all my clients and I want to use them myself. I like to call people so I always call them. I'm never on hold for a long time. But there was a miscommunication a couple of times when we were trying to do our dryer and they ordered the wrong part. But then it was fine and the other one were decent. A couple of times, they had to get two opinions before they replace a system. But that's understandable. Like right now, we're without AC. But it's gonna be replaced on Monday.

    When our air conditioner went out, my husband was really impressed with the gentleman who came out. We expected the worst, and the AC guy was awesome. However, when our water heater kept going out, 2-10 sent somebody out and I was told I was going to get a refund if they couldn’t do anything for it. They couldn’t do anything for my water heater and they kept procrastinating. The contractor kept telling me, “I can't fix anything until I get approval through 2-10.” They also tried to tell me that it was gonna be $700 or $800 to replace my water heater. There was no coverage. It was like I might as well have just purchased a water heater and had somebody come out and do it myself.

    I have two young children, a one-and-a-half-year-old and a five-year-old, who had cold showers and bath for over a week. We didn’t have hot water. We were having to constantly go out and relight the pilot light that would only warm up and that’s for a lukewarm bath in the winter. Trying to get through to them and get somebody out to fix the water heater, I found that out to be absolutely unacceptable. It was a really frustrating feeling with 2-10 on that end.

    The water heater guy wasn’t very responsive. When I had questions about my contractor why he was charging so much for things, he was, “That’s the price. If you don’t want, call the home warranty company.” There was no walkthrough on anything. I would have liked to have seen the whole water heater experience taken a little bit more seriously. They didn’t want to replace it. It still ended up costing me a good junk of money out of pocket. It was more about the dollar money for them rather than customer service. It would be better if it was more customer service-related.

    Our dishwasher is starting to leak and I’m not looking forward to calling. I’m not looking forward to dealing with this again. Getting through to 2-10 and being able to speak to a person takes about 30 minutes. I'm dreading the back and forth with them. I'm gonna have to pry someone to get out here in a timely manner. I'm gonna have to pay a bunch of money. I don’t see the point in having 2-10 if I’m still paying a lot of money.

    Our experience with 2-10 has been nothing short of completely awful. We put in a work order for a non- working AC upstairs on March 26. They tried replacing one part but it didn’t work. The contractor (who has been great) recommended replacing the unit. 2-10 initially said they would to both us and the contractor. Then radio silence for over a week. When we called to find out what was going on, they changed their mind and wanted to try another part. Which no one ever ordered. We were told multiple times the part was ordered, but it never was. Even the contractor couldn’t get them to order the part.

    Finally in MAY they ordered the part and tried to put it, but but it still didn’t work as the contractor predicted and the unit condemned. Then they only ordered one of two parts of the unit, so here we are, heading towards June, still with no AC. I’m writing this awake in a bedroom in Georgia that’s 85 degrees. Oh, and I’m 6 months pregnant. No one at 2-10 cares. Go with American Home Shield. I’ve used them before. They actually replaced a bad furnace for me in what I thought were 3 long weeks. 3 weeks would be a pipe dream with 2-10.

    !!!BUYERS BEWARE, IF YOU DON’T READ ANY FURTHER, PLEASE DON’T PURCHASE 2-10!!!! Today (5/16/2019), I contacted 2-10 HBW to request reimbursement for an urgent furnace repair. My furnace went out at 3am and I called a certified HVAC Company to do urgent repairs. It was 40 degrees out and dropping and I have a newborn. The repairs were done. They first replace the igniter, then realized I had a bad board. I paid for the repairs as it was urgent $816.00 for both items.

    When explaining this situation to the customer service representative, I received a scripted response. I was informed, “I was to contact them before getting repairs.” Now, to a reasonable or at least a compassionate person you would understand that a newborn needs HEAT. No responsible parent is going to call 2-10 and wait for them to send a appraiser to authorize a repair. As other writers have complained this is a long process. THEY WANTED MY INFANT TO REMAIN IN THE COLD FOR PROFIT MARGINS.

    I escalated my complaint to a Supervisor **(ID **). He gave the same scripted response and referenced my contract. I informed him I did not receive a contract, nor sign anything. This was a seller Home Warranty purchased for the buyer. He informed me “they” should have given me the warranty information. Now, what business relies on an independent 3rd party individual (not even company) to deliver information. To date, I still do not have a contract or warranty information

    This is an absolute poor business model. Management should be terminated, Board disbanded, and properly investigated for fraud. They took the sellers money, added my name to the contract, but I did not sign anything nor did they forward me anything! However, when you need them they quickly find a way to escape any liability. Simply put a terrible business and a terrible business model as relayed on this message board. FRAUDULENT COMPANY!!!

    Response from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty

    Hi there, William, we would like to clarify some areas where you misunderstood our services. We can understand you doing to do what is best for your newborn baby and it is unfortunate that your break down happened so early in the morning. Unfortunately, your contract states that unless you receive prior authorization for repairs/replacement, we are not able to reimburse. Also, your contract was gifted to you by the seller of the home and covers the property. This is a very common practice within all warranty companies and is in no way fraudulent. Most warranties are gifted by the realtor upon closing and are given to the homeowner. If you would like to cancel your warranty, you are more than welcome to but if you plan to use your coverage, you are subject to the exclusions outlined in your contract. We hope this offered some further clarity into your claims, but please send us a message if you have any additional questions or concerns.

    I had a hot water heater leak under the house and unfortunately, since this is a rental home, I didn't want to have it the way it was built. I submitted a claim with 2-10 online on a Friday afternoon and they said the tech would call me back in 24 hours, but that wasn't the case. I had to reach out to him and the problem wasn't taken care of until Tuesday the following week. So, my tenants were out of hot water for almost a week. 2-10 also said that they were gonna pay for the hot water heater repair and maintenance.

    But I had to pay $75 for the tech going out there diagnosing it and on top of that, there was some added expense of about $800 that I was not too happy about. I've also not been provided any kind of documentation as to what the warranty paid for and what I ended up paying for even though I requested it from their representative. I've requested it from the plumber and he said he sent it to 2-10. So, I've kind of been kept in the dark and now I paid $700, the fee was for the home warranty. But I didn't think it was that good of a value.

    This home is about two hours away from me, so it's very convenient to have a home warranty where I can call in and ask them to fix something instead of me having to find a technician on my own. So I thought it was gonna be beneficial, but apparently, you get what you pay for. Now, I'm out $800 plus $700 and I also pay 170 a month, but I don't know what the heck I'm getting.

    We have 2-10 since last year and we speak to a representative when we submit our claims to them. When we filed claims for our garage door & AC, which were simple ones, there weren't any issues. But recently, there was an issue with the toilet and I filed a claim online with 2-10. Then, my wife followed-up with a call which went smoothly. We ended up getting a plumber that was outside of the network, which was fine because 2-10 would reimburse us for it. We just had to pay upfront and they'd reimburse up to $500.

    However, when my wife called them, she left everything about the reimbursement, even the reference number, to the rep she talked to. But when she called back because she had another question, the agent on the line wasn't able to trace back what she previously submitted. She had to spend a lot of time on the phone and she got frustrated. She even had to call the manager on the other line to get that information. We finally got reimbursed but it took a while and it took a lot from her time, instead of just a simple phone call. She was on the phone for 40 minutes, then she had to call three times. So the submission part was easy but the follow-up part was the hard one.

    Other than that, our initial experience with the contractor was pretty bad because 2-10 didn't tell us in advance the limitations of the contractors even if we described the issue to them. We said that it was a plumbing issue and it was coming from the toilet. But we didn't realize that the plumber didn't really open anything. The pipes have to be exposed for them to perform their work. So if they had to go under or if they have to open something, then they wouldn't do the job. Maybe it's an insurance thing but if we knew about that, we would have done something prior or we would have just gotten a handyman.

    Despite that, the techs who came out were professional. 2-10 just needed to let us know what to expect, if there were any limitations, or if there was something we had to prepare for. Because if there's an issue and the contractor has to come back, then it's a waste on their time and my time because I have to take off from work. Also, submitting a claim with 2-10 shouldn't have been this hard and we were dissatisfied with our experience.

    2-10 was a warranty that was gifted to us when we bought the house, and it was convenient that we stayed with the company. For the most part, it’s been pretty good. I just didn't like this last service that I received because they didn't repair the issue. Up until this last one that came, I was very pleased with the technician that they had sent out.

    For some of my previous issues, they have been able to replace or repair my product, or service was really good. This last time, the first time my water heater went out, the plumber that they sent was not at all interested in completing the job. I don't think 2-10 should at all work with them. That guy was completely useless. You could tell he definitely did not want the job. It was too hard for him, and he did everything he could to avoid it. In fact, he pretty much didn't even respond back to me. I had to call 2-10 back two days later to say, “Hey, I still don’t have a hot water heater.”

    The second one that they sent out was really good. He was the one that actually had an eye for what needed to be done and gave me some good advice. It was just a long, dwelling process that I did not appreciate. When I called 2-10 with this last issue, one representative told me this, and then the next time I called, it was something different. When we finally decided to do the buy-out, the representative said it only offered like $300. I told her that was ridiculous. She gave me an option to think about it for two days. That was emotional because I was already a week without hot water and they still wanna tell me two more days. It was horrible. Nevertheless, we got through it. I’m still satisfied.

    We had an issue with our refrigerator and it was easy to submit the claim online with 2-10. They were great and their communication was fantastic. But the contractor that they sent out sucked. They were terrible and 2-10 should never use them again. They came out two days later and they took our $100 for the service fee but didn’t do anything like they were supposed to.

    We were at work at the time but my aunt was here and she said that they were rude, disrespectful to her, and very condescending when talking to her. She also said that they told her what the problem was and that we were gonna have to fix the problem on our own because it was not covered by the warranty. But all it was was a leaky hose and it is covered. So now, we cannot have ice in our refrigerator at all because the water is leaking and if I turn it on, then it leaks all over our floor. We could go get a brand new hose on our own and not wait on 2-10, but to me, that seems pretty stupid to do when we paid for the home warranty and they should have fixed it to begin with.

    We paid for the more expensive warranty, so we’ve been waiting on the techs to come back out. We’ve communicated with that service multiple times on our availability and the only time that they would come out was when we weren’t available. It’s been the worst thing and they still haven't fixed the refrigerator. But the other person that 2-10 sent out for the electricity was fine.

I know they’re trying to have calls shuttled to the right place but the process is tedious at times. They should give me someone to talk to. I only had one claim last year and it was fine. This year, there has been a few and there has been a lot of confusion. I talk for a living. I’m very clear about what is wrong and what needs to be done. I paid $200 for two guys to come out here and do nothing. The guy looked at it and said they couldn’t do it and walked away. I gave him a $100 check for just walking on my door. It was the same thing with the issue I had on my stove. We had a gas leak downstairs and I smelled gas coming up. I thought it was coming from my stove. The guy came out, checked it and said it was fine.

    The plumber that 2-10 sent didn’t know a pipe form a hockey stick and I ended up having to pay $500 out-of-pocket to my plumber who was able to diagnose it in about 10 minutes and fix it. It was for a pipe fitting and the plumber that 2-10 sent out wouldn’t even look at it. He walked into my basement and said he couldn’t do anything. He said that I owe him a hundred bucks and he didn’t even pull a wrench out of his toolbox. I have an air conditioning issue and the reps are supposedly coming out today. They called me yesterday to say the window was between 9:00 and 5:00, which is fine since I work from home. But this is the last shot. I’m gonna go over to Home Shield if this doesn’t work out. If the air conditioning issue goes smoothly, then I’ll stay with 2-10. If it doesn’t, I don’t know why I’m paying them.

And if they’re running late, they call me up and tell me to make sure that somebody’s home and we’re not wasting anybody’s time.

    The claims process is pretty good. I pay a copay, $75, which is okay. It’ll probably cost me way more money if I didn’t have any warranty like 2-10. And I’m sure there are other companies out there that are either cheaper or expensive.

    When we purchased our home, our Realtor negotiated the 2-10 warranty into our purchase. The most recent go-around has been incredibly frustrating. We, back in September, had to submit a claim for the microwave which completely quit working. They came out and fixed it. And then, last month, it quit working in the exact same manner. We called 2-10 and got a claim submitted. Unfortunately, that process did not go smoothly. I got an email right away saying that the claim had been dispatched, but then I never heard from anyone. So, I called back to 2-10, and they said it was not dispatched and it was gonna be another three days. And I told them I had the email so I was totally confused.

    They tried to expedite it and get someone out. They finally found someone. My husband’s military, I’m a full time student, and we have four kids. So, I was contacted by a contractor who said, “Yes, I can come today between this time and this time.” I told him I was gonna leave class early. I’d skip my afternoon classes and go home. I never got a call, and he was a complete no-show. Finally, I called 2-10 again, and they had to redispatch it to somebody else. So, it was set again for the next day. I had to miss more classes. And at this point, my GPA’s dropping because it was toward the end of the semester and we were gearing up for finals. So, they had it dispatched the next day, the guy came out, and complained about how far the drive was and how far away we are. And he was surprised he was sent out here. He asked why wasn’t someone else that was closer dispatched.

    He did half the job and said that he would submit the work order for a couple of other things, and he made me go and buy the paint coating for touching up the inside of my microwave to cover exposed metal. Then I never heard back from anyone. Finally I called 2-10 again and told them the job was never done. It got dispatched, I didn’t hear from anyone, and I called back again. Then they said they finally got a hold of someone. And he said I was gonna have to pay the $70. I had to call 2-10 again and spent a good 40 minutes on the phone again. They had to cancel all of that out and process it again with the guy that didn’t finish the job the first time. I never heard back from them. I called and left a message yesterday and there was no return phone call. I finally called again today, and maybe he’s coming on Thursday. That was what we set up and I’m just crossing my fingers at this point. It has been a disaster.

    I told 2-10 that it was really frustrating because we were fortunate enough to have the warranty built into the purchase of our home, but it’s for renewal in June, and if it’s this hard just to get a microwave fixed, why would we renew? It’s crazy. And with the customer service, it took a lot of explaining and running around. They did not understand what was going on. It took a lot of time for them to find the correct work orders. And this latest time, the gal made it into a big deal that she would need to go talk to her supervisor to see if they were able to waive the $70 fee.

    As for the contractors, the very first people that came out for the original issue back in September were very nice. We had our dishwasher go out at the same time. That one was smooth. We were able to get it replaced, which was great. On the microwave issue, the first guy that I talked to on the phone was a no-show. And then the guy that actually showed up the next day ran an hour late. So, I missed a class that I could’ve been in. He was quite grumpy and not particularly friendly. And then we didn’t get any sorta follow-up from him.

    I'm really not impressed with the company. And I had left them a message yesterday because they put in the work order, it must have been Friday or Saturday, and so the 24 hours would have been Monday at 4:00 or 5:00. I never heard from anybody. I left them a message because I didn’t hear from anyone. And then no callback today at all. We had to get their contractors out three times before they would replace the dishwasher. On the microwave, it’s gonna be the third time they’re coming out. And it seems like nothing has gone smoothly. I totally understand things happen. But there’s only so much running around that you can give a person before they just really lose patience and faith that you’re gonna do what you say you’re gonna do.

    It's difficult stuff and I have an added layer of a challenge. A lot of my clients don't have English as their first language so I help them with the claims. They make the appointment during the times that I'm with them so a lot of times, I add myself and my number there, but even with that, they simply have a hard time making that initial connection with the contractors.

A few weeks ago, we had a problem with the same AC unit, and the same contractor came back out. We had to wait a few more days for them and it was a little warmer at the time too so it was a little more unbearable. Also, it wasn’t covered under the warranty.

I've had direct experience with other warranty companies that were less satisfactory than the 2-10 for the most part. So, 2-10 is the one we tend to promote most often and that’s the one we’ve had on our personal property for a number of years. But my last experience with them was decidedly not positive.

    We have an older air conditioning system because we bought an older house. When the air conditioning system stopped functioning, so we called in for a claim. We were notified that the claim was gonna be denied because the system was too old and it had rusted out, and there were inferences that we didn’t take proper care of it. Long story short, we had to go through a long, involved, appeal process, and we finally got as a concession to our professional support of 2-10 as Realtors but not as homeowners, a settlement that was ultimately a fair one. But we had to go through three weeks of combat.

    Usually, I submit claims over the phone to 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. Though it isn't difficult, I've had one bad experience thus far. Representatives told me that I didn't have to pay the deductible 'cause the claim was a repeating occurrence. But, they ended up charging me 'cause the supervisor overrode what the representatives said and no one called me to inform me. Nevertheless, their contractors get my issues resolved for me. Any time I call, I just pay the $75 and 2-10 sends someone out right away.

    Submitting claims with 2-10 is difficult. I called and spoke to a representative, and they just listened, typed in whatever they needed to type in and sent out an auto-generated email. That was it. They did their process, which in the whole scheme of things is the most minimum. When you submit a claim, you have to wait until it's submitted and 2-10 gets somebody. In my last claim, there was water leaking in my house. There was water on the walls and there was water drenched in the floor. But 2-10 really didn't constitute it as an emergency until I started getting agitated and even when it was classified as an emergency, nobody showed up in four days.

    In fact, we never got a service contractor from 2-10. I ended up having to pay for the repairs so that it wouldn't cause other damage to the house like mold. 2-10 even said they're not responsible for any consequential damages caused by the appliance. Well, that doesn't make any sense. So I wouldn't recommend them to nobody else. They haven't called and asked me to look at reimbursement either. We only used 2-10 last year and this year. But ever since I've been in my house in 2009, the warranty has been there and they cash my check on time when it's time to pay. So for eight years, I've given them my money and I still ended up having to replace my own air conditioner.

    That time, we called them because we had a problem with the air conditioner and the contractor came out. It was recommended to 2-10 that a part would need to be repaired but they paid more to fix the parts on it. We might have needed to just get a new air conditioner in the current industry standard. So this year, when the people came out, it was because the Freon was slowly leaking out. But the pipes weren't clogged and there wasn't anything wrong. The Freon cost about $250 a pound and the fix cost about $1,200. I even still have a claim open with 2-10 regarding my bathtub. I've called the people that 2-10 had recommended three times. Those guys haven't made an appointment with me and they're like, "Oh yeah. Oh, sorry about that." That's been almost four weeks ago.

    There were several options about filing a claim with 2-10 but I did mine online and navigating through the website was easy. The HVAC guy was not good at all and I re-issued a claim with them. I had water in my vents and the guy said that there was no reasonable issue with my service that 2-10 would do anything about. He seemed very knowledgeable of what 2-10 would and would not cover. He told me that I should probably call my home insurance company and have them do something. However, I have the extended warranty and everything that is wrong with the system is covered under it.

    The guy was trying to back-door solicit. Maybe he wasn’t but that was the feeling because he told me and noted that there was a massive heat or temperature difference. He said that when he installed in his new house, he could get it within less than one degree and the 75-feet difference between the bedroom and the living room was a huge deal. We had to build fires when it was 70-degrees outside in the living room. The bedroom would be 85 and the living room would be 68, so it was like all the air was going into the bedroom. We shut off all the vents and still, it wasn’t pushing the hot air from the back to the front of the house. It was blowing out cold air in there.

    The first refrigerator guy who came out was almost irritated because the refrigerator wasn’t plugged in. He said there was nothing he could do and that it was a sealed unit. It was not something he could take care of. He took my $100 and abruptly left. On the other hand, the second refrigerator guy who came in was awesome and very knowledgeable. He came in and did his job. He communicated with me what was gonna happen. Then, the parts came in and he replaced it. It didn’t work and it was leaking somewhere in the system. He also said that there was not a lot that they could do to fix it but he said they would file for a replacement. However, there was a miscommunication. 2-10 thought that he was still ordering for a replacement of the part and not the unit. Once we figured it out, it took another week. I’ve got a loaner fridge, so that was not a big deal and 2-10 got that taken care of.

    One part of it was awesome and great but the other part was not. I’m satisfied 100% with the refrigerator but I’m not satisfied with the HVAC because I haven’t even heard back from anybody denying or approving anything. I need them to come back in and what concerns me more is I already gave him $100 to come out here and assess the situation. I’ve been still waiting for them to call me back to contact me and I haven’t heard anything.

It took so long before they were able to replace it. The second time the microwave went bad, we put in the call and someone came to pick it up.

    I've been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for five years and have been very happy with them. I wouldn’t say their claims process is easy though. You really have to follow up and stay on them and not give in. They’re definitely an insurance company and not looking to pay for everything. But, if you hold your ground and you know the companies in your area, then it would work out. Their customer service is great. But their sales, their service, and their part distribution centers don’t always talk to each other so calling in isn’t a pleasant experience. I also tried submitting online, but it was a terrible way to go.

    2-10's coverage is great. They cover two air conditioning units, my heat, and a washing machine. Although the turnaround time is not great, I’d rather have the coverage than bad quality work. When it comes to major appliances or major household systems, like air conditioning and heat, they should offer expedited services. When the heat goes down in the middle of the winter and the pipes are gonna freeze, you would think that they would want to act quickly, instead of saying that that’s the way it is. It would have been better if they covered those issues as well. My interactions with the contractors they've sent have been excellent though. Plus, the contractors were very knowledgeable.

    The first claim with 2-10 was the double oven not working properly. We contacted 2-10 and they set the repair up. That process got a little messed up but it wasn’t 2-10’s fault, it was the contractor’s. They didn’t follow up. I had to end up calling them to schedule the appointment after contacting 2-10 to get the information for them. It took a little over two weeks to even get someone out here. They kept canceling appointments. Even after we paid them, it took them over a month to cash the check. So, they didn’t even close out the service request for over a month after we had paid them.

    Except for that one contractor, I've enjoyed my experience with 2-10. The other claim we had was the electrical in one of the rooms that went out. We contacted 2-10 and set the repair up. The next day, we had an appointment for someone to come out. That one was done by the end of the week so that went back pretty fast.

    The hot water heater went out, then our air conditioner upstairs. Generally, 2-10 sends out the contractor on the next business day. For the AC, we put the claim in on Saturday and the contractor came out on Monday. I was very impressed. They did a great job and they did it quickly. On the other hand, when the plumbers came out, I felt like they were trying to jerk us around a little bit. They told us that there was a part that was messed up. They initially came out here and reset a breaker that has kicked on the water heater. I happened to be crawling under there with the plumber so I could see what he was doing. He showed me what he reset and then, he left. The water heater went out again and it took four days for him to come out to replace that part.

    The first time, he said everything was great with the water heater but the thermostat popped. Then he came out and replaced the thermostat. He was here trying to replace the whole water heater, which just three or four day beforehand, he told me everything was fine except for the thermostat. I wasn't super happy with the plumber. They eventually got it done, but it took longer than what it should have. He should have just replaced the part at the beginning instead of making my kids go without hot water for showers for a couple of days. They had to shower in our bathroom. One half of the house was still working, so we still had one shower with hot water. Nevertheless, 2-10 is good and we haven’t had any issues with them. When we first moved here, we had a different warranty company but 2-10 was a lot less expensive and covered the same things.

    I've submitted 3 claims with 2-10 and the experience has generally been good. I've done it online and over the phone and they both work just fine. There was one time with the website that wasn't working so great 'cause it didn't have the right options or the right way to describe the claim. It kept trying to steer me back towards a plumbing claim and that was not exactly the right issue. The website generally works pretty well for the standard stuff, but if it doesn't fit in one of the molds that are on there, it doesn't work with the user. It's stubborn. So I called and when I explained it to them, it was fine. The claims reps I've spoken with have been been professional and straightforward. The contractors were good guys too. They came and did their work. They were professional and on time. They didn't leave a mess.

    The coverage lapses in June and we're not sure on renewing with 2-10 yet. I'm going back and forth with my wife and we're still trying to decide. Part of the discussion is what are the other alternatives out there, what's the cost, etc. The only thing that's a little kind of irritating is they have these little sales and they're trying to get me to sign back up for another year. They'll be like, "Hey, if you make the decision in the next three days, we'll give you $75 off." It's just kind of the whole ticking clock sale technique and I don't really appreciate it. I feel like it's just a cheap manipulation attempt. 2-10 has got some kinks to work out.

    I have been with 2-10 warranty for 19 years now and have been a loyal customer. I have had several contractors come out to fix my refrigerator, stove, sink, toilets, water heater and washer and dryer. I have no complaints on the service received until just recently. Even though 2-10 is pricier than other warranty companies, I have remained loyal. I never write reviews but this recent incident warrants one.

    A contractor came out to fix my washing machine on April 26. He could not find parts necessary to get washer working so had to defer to 2-10 and their research department to find the parts. I have called several times to find out what the status was. Each time I was told they were looking for the parts and would take 3-5 business days. I have a two year grandson at the house so a working washing machine is essential. I would not be as upset if I had received follow up phone calls to let me know the status.

    When you have an issue with 2-10 there appears to be no one to reach out to. Supervisors know nothing more than the person who answers the phone. I called again today 5/13/19 to get status. I was transferred to the parts department again. This time I was informed that the parts could not be found. It should not take two weeks to figure out that parts are not available. Ashley was kind enough to now pass this issue over to the replacement folks. However, I was told it would be 3-5 days before I received an email as to what the status would be... whether a replacement washer was found or I would received money to replace myself. You would think that long standing customers would receive much better service than this. SMH.

    It's difficult to submit a claim with 2-10 and if you try to do it online, you still have to call them anyways. Their website is also a little confusing. It has you answer a whole bunch of questions then you type in all those things and it just tells you to call. Whenever I submit a claim, they tell me that I would be contacted by a contractor in two business days though they say that it could be sooner. Whoever's hired by 2-10 to to come out has the responsibility to contact me and they try to give me a window for the appointment.

    So far, my experience with the contractors who have been here varies because all the contractors are different. Just recently, I paid $100 for somebody to come out. He assessed the situation that I was contacting him about and he immediately said that since it wasn't installed properly, it was not covered under the warranty. He told me certain things that I needed and kind of assumed what 2-10 cover and what they didn't cover. I still had to pay him anyways, which was ridiculous. So, essentially, I was out of $100 but the problem still wasn't resolved. Plus, I'd have to pay more money out-of-pocket

    Other than that, the warranty came in handy a couple of times for a couple of other things. My biggest concern was the big-ticket items like a water heater or the HVAC going bad. We have 2-10 for three years now and it's somewhat reassuring to have a warranty. But there are certain things that they don't cover. If something wasn't properly installed right, that's something that wouldn't technically be covered. That's included in the list that I have for everything that was a part of the package that I was paying for. It's probably to save 2-10 more money which is understandable.

For example, we moved the refrigerator that we had in the house into the garage, and they tried to exclude that from the warranty claim because we moved it there. That made no sense to us. We had an AC problem, and they didn’t cover that as well. That AC came with the house. So, there was another issue that we had to pay out.

This time, I had to wait a little bit longer. The whole time, it's hard to get to somebody and to find out what's going on, I waited an hour on the phone. First, I called one department and they didn't know what was going on. They had to transfer me to another department. They kept saying that 2-10 had a long call line, so I waited on the phone until I was able to speak to somebody. My interaction with him was a relief but he had to take a long time because my case was a little different from others.

    My refrigerator stopped working and I've been dealing with it for two weeks. I didn't want my food to get bad. My husband helped me put the refrigerator into the garage so I can bring out my back-up refrigerator. When we called the service guy, he didn't wanna fix it because he said that it was in the wrong place. He didn't look at anything and they were trying to charge me which I didn't think was fair. It was my fault for not reading the fine print, but if they're not doing anything, then I shouldn't be charged. Plus, it was kinda hard to do things when you're working all the time.

    He had to come back and we had to do another ticket for him to come back. He was kinda rude, so I kind of reacted rudely back. I didn't like the way he talked. He came back last Monday and he spoke to my husband. He just told my husband, "Oh, they're gonna just replace it. The warranty is gonna give you a callback." Yesterday, I had to call back to see what was going on so I was on the phone all morning. That's such a big inconvenience for me only to find out that no, I'm not gonna get a replacement. They're just gonna replace those two parts. The communication part has a room for improvement. The people who come out should be reaching out and letting me know the timeframe of when they're gonna call me back, and not just say, "Oh, your warranty is gonna call you back."

In Ohio, the temperature fluctuates. It could be 80 degrees one day and 50 the next. The next day, it was 85 degrees and the air conditioner wouldn’t work. I called 2-10 back and had them come out and look at the air conditioner. Since it was getting into summer, I would rather have the AC fixed then the furnace. I called Monday night.

    It takes a contractor a day to call you to schedule an appointment. If a contractor is not gonna come out that day then it’s the next day. And if he doesn't call you then you have to wait for the next day. For my claim, it took three days for a technician to come out. If my furnace was out and it was zero degrees out, I would have had a problem with that. But right now in Ohio, the weather is pretty mild so I don't need a furnace or air conditioner necessarily all the time. My experience has been okay. The representatives have been good so far.

    After calling around and getting a few quotes from warranty providers, we got a good offer from 2-10 and they seemed to have a good package. It has been pretty convenient whenever we had to submit claims. We would call them to report the issue and the service has been quick and to the point. It has been hassle-free. There's usually somebody assigned to the case on the same day, and we get an update regarding which contractor was assigned. They would come out in a day or two after that, depending on if it is a weekend or not, but we always had good response time. Some of the contractors have been better than others but my experience with them has always been good. I've been very satisfied with them. They're always professional, and happy to help. They explain what they're doing and give us any information that we would expect.

    One of the primary reasons we've had to call their contractors was an intermittent issue with our furnace. It comes back year after year, after being fixed. We finally had a 2-10 contractor come and look at it, and they saw that there was some electronic issues. I have some disappointment that it took about six visits to finally find and diagnose that issue, but I give all credits to the last contractor that was sent because they finally took care of the problem. All in all, 2-10 has done everything I've expected and I'm satisfied. We'll continue to renew with them for the foreseeable future.

    I've been covered by 2-10 for over 15 years. This past year has been the worst year. My thermostat went in the middle of winter. I had no response from 2-10 for almost two weeks. Finally, a guy came out from ServiceMaster. He left me without a filter, told me my furnace needed swept, and he’d be back and I’d have to pay him another $118 after paying him the initial fee. So then I called 2-10 again, and nobody calls from 2-10. I had to have the unit fixed! If I didn’t have a fireplace, I would have frozen to death. I had a contract with Oasis and they came and my unit is fixed now. But I don’t understand 2-10 anymore. Their service is awful.

    I had an electrical problem and 2-10 was a little slow in getting me somebody. I had to get my own contractor but they reimbursed me and everything was fine. However, my second experience was not so good at all. I had a plumbing problem and they didn’t cover anything. The main sewer line backed up and flooded the bathroom and the kitchen. It also stained all my carpeting and ruined the bathroom floor. I had to call Roto-Rooter in and they sent me a guy who came out with his little dinky machine but he didn’t do anything.

    My realtor gave me a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a year with the purchase of my home. However, when I tried to submit a claim online, it was extremely difficult because I couldn't find the place where I needed to say what the problem was. It seemed to cover everything but what I needed. Still, when I called, customer service was 100% fabulous and my issue was taken care of right away. I explained to their reps that I was having trouble online. They asked me what the problem was, I told them and they said they would set up a time and everything. That got a little complicated but eventually, everything worked out.

    They were very nice on the phone, and very patient with me, and made sure everything was done right. My experience with the contractor sent to service my appliance turned out a lot better than I thought. I thought it was gonna be a huge problem, but it turned out to be something very simple. So, I was very happy. Everybody at 2-10 was very friendly and they got the job done.

    I chose 2-10 for the premiums that were offered in comparison to the normal home warranty provider. Our realtor also pointed out 2-10 as having more options offered in their standard coverage as opposed to other companies and it has worked out pretty good. Within the first month or so, my heating element went out so I had that replaced and I just had to pay the deductible. So I was covered there and it was a quick process. The appointment was set up by the next day and I got my heat serviced. Then recently, I got my AC serviced with the changing of the season and that was another thing that was offered, a pre-season maintenance on my AC. So so far, I’ve been pretty happy.

    The representatives are pretty solid as well. Everything seems like it’s right away. I just called and they reached out to the vendor and sent me two follow-up emails reminding me of the services or what I should expect. Usually, contractors have up to 48 hours to contact me but it seemed like it’s been the same day each time. On top of that, they're very professional and they have great quality of work. I definitely will renew at the end of the year.

    My 2-10 plan came with the home I purchased but I found that it wasn't really helpful. The website wasn't helpful. When I had issues, I had trouble trying to figure out if it was covered or not, and I didn't get a clear answer. I've used 2-10 twice, where the first one was for a weird leak coming in the kitchen wall. On 2-10's website, I was trying to find how the issue would be covered or what box I would need to select to start or to have somebody come out and look at it. But it wasn't really clear what option I need to select. So I called a representative, and then I was on hold for 45 minutes.

    The representative said that it sounded like it was coming from the roof, which wasn't covered. He was sorry that I was having that problem, and then hung up. That was all I received for that. But another time, I used it for a plumbing pipe that was leaking. I selected plumbing, and because it was an immediate issue I went ahead and called whoever the plumbing people were that 2-10 was gonna send out. And they were great.

    Our A/C unit stopped blowing cold. We called 2-10 Warranty and a tech was dispatched from a local HVAC company. The tech confirmed that the coil had a leak. The HVAC company recommended that the condenser unit be replaced rather than just the coil for two reasons... 1. The cost of a coil plus the freon would be close in price to a condenser unit which contains freon and... 2. Only replacing the coil would mean that other parts could fail as the unit is getting old.

    I made three calls to 2-10 Warranty and confirmed that the condenser unit will be replaced. The HVAC company showed up with just a coil. The tech/owner didn't understand why they only sent a coil. I called 2-20 Warranty and was told that a condenser unit was being replaced. I had to explain to the customer service rep what the difference is between a coil and unit. She put me on hold to get more information and again said that the unit is being replaced. A condenser unit. I told her a coil was the only part received. She said that's what they call a unit. They don't know the difference between a condenser coil and a condenser unit.

    I find great difficulty in trying to have an intelligent conversation with an ignorant person. I did not contract with 2-10 Warranty. My real estate agent required the seller of our house to include a warranty. Unfortunately, the sellers happened to pick 2-10 Warranty. As a result of this debacle, I researched warranty companies and found that 2-10 Warranty is not well rated. Should you be in the market for a warranty company I suggest you go to Consumeraffairs.com and researched their to companies. We are most definitely not renewing the contract. Oh, and I have no doubt that 2-10 Warranty's response will be to say how sorry they are and how they will do better. Just a boiler plate response.

    We put in a service request around 4/17 because our ac wasn’t working and the weather had gotten warm. It took 3 weeks for the new part to come in. Okay that’s reasonable. The new part was broken and now rather that just replacing the unit we have to wait another 2 weeks before another new part comes in. I have people in my house with medical conditions that are worse with heat. My upstairs is 78 every night! It is ridiculous to make people wait 5 weeks to fix a problem. And if this second new part has a problem they have already said they will just continue to order it and make us wait until a good one comes in. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    People had been nice on the phone and my experience submitting a claim has been good. I tried submitting a claim online for our air-conditioning but I couldn't figure it out. There's a box that says, "File a claim", and then it was just blank and I received an email from 2-10. I sat there hoping somebody would get back to me quickly. I have a 21-month old kid and I need air-conditioning in our house. Someone was supposed to call me in 24 hours, but they didn’t. So I called the contractor, and they weren’t apologetic for not calling.

    I told 2-10 that it had a leak and it wasn’t cooling. But they only told the guy that came out that it had a leak, and he said he didn't see a leak, so he couldn’t actually fix it for us. It was frustrating and inefficient for me. It was also a waste of my money. We had to sleep in our house last night in the heat, and file a new claim, and pay another $189 to have the guy come back out again the next day. I didn’t love that. It's pretty horrible. 2-10 should have confirmed with me that there was a leak and asked if it was working. They should have led me through that a little bit more because I'm a consumer and I have no idea how they file claims.

    We also had a claim for our refrigerator and I wasn’t here when the guy came but my brother-in-law was. And he said he wasn’t that impressed with that service. It took weeks for them to get the refrigerator part and potentially fix the refrigerator. And then they found out that it wasn’t working. It took them seven days to get back to me about what their offer was. So it has been a long haul. Now we have to get a new refrigerator because the guy wasn’t able to fix it. Overall, it has been frustrating and difficult to get the service that you want in a timely manner.

    Part of the agreement when we bought the house was to have the seller pay for the home warranty and they chose 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. Their representatives were very courteous and helpful. But 2-10 could work on the wait time a bit. It wasn’t too bad, but I would’ve liked to wait a bit less. The first plumber that came out through 2-10 misdiagnosed what the problem was. I ended up calling a different contractor because they told me that 2-10 wasn’t gonna cover the root problem. When I called the other plumber, they found out it was just a clog, there were no roots out there. I called 2-10, explained everything that was going on and asked for reimbursement for the other plumber. They worked well with me and sent me a check within a week. I definitely liked that because, in the beginning, I was told it could take 45 days.

    I usually make claims through the 2-10 website, and there are problems with the website occasionally, especially if you have multiple claims. If you have a plumbing issue and then you have another plumbing issue, it doesn't allow you to add another one so that requires you to call in. Sometimes it’s successful based on whoever’s answering, but sometimes it’s very frustrating. Also, sometimes the contractors are okay and sometimes they're not. Somebody came over for my washing machine which is front-loading and has a digital board. The person looked at it, said my washing machine was clean and they didn't understand what the problem was, and that I should probably check the drain. I was frustrated because I thought that that’s what the contractor would do. Because the washing machine wasn’t able to replicate the problem that it had previously, I paid $75 for nothing.

    One time, we had a plumbing request. We have a soaker tub, and the faucet was dripping. The plumber came over and said they don't work on Jacuzzi tubs, and so we had to process another claim. It’s not a Jacuzzi tub ‘cause it was a leaking faucet, which should be straightforward. When the other person came, they fixed it. But recently we had the same problem again. The new plumber told us that it wasn't fixed properly, so it shouldn’t have lasted as long as it should have. That was also frustrating.

    I recognize that it’s difficult for 2-10 to work with various tradespeople, but there’s some process improvement they could have. They usually send an email that says, “Did the contractor come?” It's awkward ‘cause you would think that the contractors would be inputting information into their system. All in all I’ve been pleased by the helpfulness of the people in the call center. Sometimes it’s very difficult for them to navigate their system, but they are trying to help the customers, so that’s a good point.

But typically, every time I’ve had a situation, they’ve handled it well, which is why I continue to work with them. Our interactions with their reps have been great. Typically, they give us an estimate on when to expect the contractor. But last time, the AC guy didn’t call us for days, we like that company though so we waited.

    2-10 works with Sears and the guy who is with Sears is typically very good. Most of the time, they call, order the parts, and then handle the issue. We wound up replacing the washer and dryer when we were having issues with them. We got credit toward that, but not much. 2-10 has done a good job. Plus, I think they gave me a discount because I’m a Realtor, which was another nice feature. I’m very satisfied with my 2-10 experience.

    We’ve been in this house since September and 2-10 was purchased for us by our sellers. We bought one for our buyers at our other house and we paid $800 for it. Our first claim had something to do with an air conditioner switch. It was with a company I hadn’t heard of before but it was no big deal. The technician came right out and he said he could do it. It was probably more for me to spend $100 than it was for him to buy the part so, that was a disappointment. I don’t mind paying the deductible but not if it’s gonna be more than the actual work that has to be done. That was off-putting.

    The second claim had to do with the air conditioner fan. 2-10 had to call three different companies to come out and look at it. The technician came out with his wife but she didn’t work for him. She came out there, leaned against the wall and talked on the phone. So, that was a little weird and she didn’t need to be there for him to do his job. They were unprofessional. He left and was gone for two hours to go get the fan. I didn’t have all day to sit and wait while he got the part, and for him and his wife to go and have lunch. It was unacceptable to me.

    I had an argument with 2-10 because the air conditioner is 20 years old and it’s not gonna last. They were gonna try to make me hold on to it so, I’m almost being forced into buying another warranty for another year just in case. It seems like a strong-arm to me and I don’t need a fancy unit. My house is under 1,400 square feet, so it’s not like it would be a great big unit but I don’t have the money in my pocket to pay for it. All we have is an outside unit, and we have a gas heater, so we don’t have a heat pump. After two calls on the air conditioner, somebody should be looking at something, because it’s not gonna get better.

    The third one was for our pressure valve regulator. It went out so, we had no water pressure. The guy who came out was great and the company was professional. He said he didn’t have time in his schedule to do it on that day but he could do it on Friday. I said fine and he was out Friday. It didn’t take him three or four hours like he thought. He had everything that he needed on his truck. He told me that he may have to go and get some pipe. It depends on the type of pipe. The pipe turned out to be fine, and it was all good.

    I heard about 2-10 when I closed on my house. I went with them because my first two years were locked on the price lock guarantee - when they contract is up, I'm gonna look for somebody else. I normally send claims online, and the experience is 7 out of 10. Then they shoot an email saying, "Hey, your information has been contracted out." Recently, we had a claim, and then they will give the contractor 48 hours to reach out. So, normally, I end up reaching out directly to whoever the provider is, and there had been a couple of instances where I had to call 2-10 to ask them to send it, while they see somebody else because I didn't get any response from the contractors that they use.

    There are a couple of contractors that I've had dealings with and they have been pretty good. For the faucet repair, the young man came in. He went over everything. They were really good because he educated me on the process and everything he was doing. When it comes down to the competitors and having a price lock, something that benefits their customers who do not use the services, but invest in it year over year, the prices need to be more comparable for those particular customers and not just having a general pricing set up.

    I had a claim with 2-10 Home Buyers last year and it looked simple and easy. But sometimes, I feel like the people that I'm speaking with are not very knowledgeable as far as the process. When I ask questions, they don't really have educated answers for me. For the last repair I had, I didn't find out about the problem until the pool people came out and opened my pool. They noticed the problem that I wasn't even aware of.

    I called 2-10 and told them the problem. The rep told me that if I use a provider of my choice, they will only pay out what their provider would have paid out. I inquired who their provider was so I could find out if I could use them but the rep wouldn't tell me. She said, "Well, I don't see one locally." I asked how I was being penalized for not using their provider if she couldn't even tell me who their local provider was. That was a little bit confusing to me. The rep ended up canceling the first work order and restarted another work order, all in the efforts of trying to answer my question. I inadvertently sent the first email to my contractor and they sent in to get authorized under the wrong work order. It was a difficult part of the process.

    Also, when I did my research, the contractors that they provided us with all had bad reviews. Their scores were 1.8 out of 5 so we were very skeptical about using them. But I had a plumber come out about a month ago. He replaced two faucets and pleasantly enough I was pleased with his service. I couldn't use my outside water hose until it was fixed and it worked perfectly since. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with 2-10 and that's why I chose to renew with them.

Also, I got three furnaces in my house and three AC units. So, they had told us when I called on the last issue with an AC unit that it's only covered for them to come out twice, which can be an issue. If you're a house with one unit that's one thing, but if you're a house with three units, that's another. So I don't feel like that was really disclosed at all. 2-10 could provide more clarification on what is covered.

    When I called to submit a claim, the representative was average to below average. Because their phone prompt system wasn't working, and I initially told them that, he just kind of went on with the next question like I didn't say that. Other than that, the contractors that came were great. They actually gave me a lot of information about what I should be doing as it relates to renewing the home warranty.

It was something that was not covered 'cause it was broken by someone else but I got it fixed already. Having the warranty is very valuable because it covers for things so I don't have to fix things around the house myself.

I'd give the website a 10 on user-friendliness. The issue was with the LG refrigerator that came with the house. It's pretty new and although the company came, ordered a part and fixed something in the evaporator, there were some other issues on the control board and they haven't come back since. The control board is not working and it's not cooling. But I'm just gonna call today and let 2-10 know about it, see if they can send me another company or just call the company itself. I need something to happen. Having a warranty is very valuable just for knowing that I've got some things covered and then they can find the company for me and I don't have to pay so much out of pocket.

    We bought a house, moved in, and within a few weeks, the outside air conditioning unit went out. I’ve had coverage with 2-10 within three weeks to a month and everything worked out for me. The contractor that came out was younger than I expected but very knowledgeable, polite, good, and very nice to work with. He was very professional and knocked it out. The motherboard was fried so they had to come in to replace a little board full of little chips and stuff. I can probably find the board if I searched for it and try to fix it myself but I figured the unit has the home warranty, let me utilize it to do things proper plus it’s gonna be $100 deductible.

    The only thing was that it took about a week for the parts to get here and that being in Florida if somebody was without air conditioning for a week, it hits really bad. It’s so hot and humid and we ended up paying someone else to come and fix it quickly within an hour of it going out because we had family here helping us organized and we were moving in within that month. I had to come out-of-pocket about $400 total but it was definitely a good experience.

    The home that I used to live was covered by 2-10 Home Warranty and I figured I needed it when I became a homeowner. When I make a claim, I would call in and talk to a rep. It’s easier for me to do that and request the service than to try to go online and try to come up with a password because I have enough passwords. But I hate having to use 2-10 because there’s a monthly fee and there’s a fee that I have to pay every time I call in for a service request. Otherwise, their reps have been very professional.

    I’ve also never had any problem with the contractors that have come out. Both of them were very nice and were sometimes quite talkative. Sometimes I would be told that my contract doesn't cover a service request and there would be additional charges on parts or on a service. There’s always that fear at the back of my mind. At one time, I had said to myself that it was happening too often. But most of the time, the service has been satisfactory.

    Putting a warranty on the property was cheaper than paying out-of-pocket for the stuff that needs to be fixed. The family that owned the house before us already had 2-10 and there was seven months left on the warranty. We kept it and renewed it. We will be with them for two years at the beginning of August. When submitting a claim, I go online and when I log in, they have options to pick what type of appliance and what the issue is. I just click it from there. The website is user-friendly. Normally, it takes a day for the contractor to call. However, this last time, the first company that they picked for us never called us. A week went by and 2-10 reached out to us to see if we’ve been contacted yet. My wife said no and 2-10 changed the company to another one that they contract with.

    The service from the technician who came out was great. His attitude was cool and he was friendly. He talked, and he answered questions when I had any. He also offered maintenance techniques to keep the dishwasher from going out again. Since then, we haven’t had any issues and everything has been working great. The repair sent the day-to-day operations in our home back to normal. But I have one issue with 2-10's website. If you have a claim that has been opened, it doesn’t allow you to open up something else for that same claim. It’s strange. With our AC unit, the first company that 2-10 sent didn’t resolve the issue. It was a temporary fix and I went online so I can redo another thing for them to send somebody else out but it wouldn’t let me reopen a claim. It said that one is already open. So, I ended up having to call in for them to open one. Nevertheless, that claim has been closed.

    My realtor recommended 2-10. I had a claim over my dishwasher and I filed it over the phone. While I don't have any problem with the representatives, I wasn't very pleased with the nature of the coverage. The first contractor didn't call too, but, again, that wasn't 2-10's fault. The contractor blew it off. There was a death in the family and the contractor disappeared. So I called 2-10 again and they got me a different contractor. And this time, that contractor called when I was told he would. these contractors were fine.

    I've told listers that the coverage isn't very good, in my experience, but it's pretty good for the price. And for the price paid for that, it may simply not be possible to get good coverage. For example, we were not able to replace the broken dishwasher with the same brand. That was a problem because it was during a listing period. The sellers had seen a KitchenAid dishwasher in our kitchen, therefore, it was not acceptable when 2-10 proposed replacing it with a GE. As the premium is fairly inexpensive, it is a matter of you get what you pay for.

    When we bought our home in November, we requested a home warranty, and the sellers purchased the home warranty through 2-10. We noticed that there was a leak on our ceiling on the main level and the drywall. It’s coming from one of the bathrooms upstairs, so I went and checked the home warranty and gave 2-10 a call. The claims rep was friendly and she seemed to be on top of what was covered. I worked from home expecting a plumber and they never showed up. I called and found out that I could have just called someone and then filed for a reimbursement. So, that was not good. I canceled the claim because 2-10 was sending somebody over 35 miles away in Metro Atlanta. I’ve been slammed at work and we’ve been away from the house so much, and we haven't had time to be home for a plumber.

    We've had 2-10 for a long time and our overall experience with them has been good. Recently, I submitted a claim with them over the phone and the rep I talked to was very nice. The contractors came out and my husband dealt with them but they haven't finished the work yet.
