    2-10 was the only one that was provided to us and it was recommended by our mortgage lender. As far as the experience, submitting a claim with them was always simple and straightforward. I submitted claims online and over the phone. The website on the computer is fine. But through mobile, it was more for an issue as it was harder to navigate using a cellphone. But other than that, everybody at 2-10 is fine. And usually, the timeframe that they give to expect a contractor to come out is two days. Having a warranty is helpful for the first couple of years, but I don’t think we need it as much now. Nevertheless, the experience with 2-10 has always been good.

    I had 2-10 when I first purchased my house almost 10 years ago and then, I was cut-off a little then I got back on. I’ve had them since September. I've had a good experience with them in the beginning, thus I came back to get peace of mind but I wasn’t too happy this time. When my furnace went down, I was without a heater for about two months. Submitting the claim online was easy and the contractor that came out was good. He explained to my husband what was going on and what he was fixing, which my husband then explained to me. However, it was a back and forth thing and I had to do all the phone calls myself. I called the providers and I called 2-10, and they’d be back and forth doing all the job but it wasn’t simply in code. So, I wasn’t so happy having all that runaround.

    We started with 2-10 in July even though I didn’t close on the house until August. I don’t like dealing with them. I had a toilet that was messed up and I also had problems with my heater. Each time, they told me there was no one in the network so I would have to go out of network and find my own people that 2-10 was going to reimburse. It defeated the purpose of having the warranty. I was new down here, so I talked to one of my neighbors and they told me about a company that was good for water problems. I called the guy up and he came out. I explained to him that I was covered under 2-10. He said that he won't do the stuff with them because they never pay. Then when I had the problem with the heater, I called the company again because 2-10 had no one in the area that could do it and they said the same thing. They said they had a bad experience with 2-10.

    Also, when I talked to 2-10, I was told they would issue a credit card but then, I talked to another lady and I was told that I have to pay everything upfront. If I have to pay everything upfront and then, they would reimburse me, it doesn’t help me any. The water heater was under warranty but still I had to pay for the service call and everything else. We just got the bill for the heat pump system and it came out less for them to come out here and make an adjustment than it would have for me to utilize 2-10.

    I talked to a gentleman at 2-10 the first time with the water heater and he seemed very professional. After I had that experience, I talked to a young lady when I called the second time. I explained to her about the problem and that I wasn’t happy with the first episode. She was pleasant but she got a little testy because I told her that she doesn’t understand. I got this warranty that someone paid for me and it was part of my homeowners’ thing and she told me that I don’t understand. I like the concept and I thought I was getting a good deal. I've already talked to my Realtor about this and only for the fact because they're representing 2-10 by selling the product.

    I’ve always had a problem with the people that 2-10 sends. We had an AC issue in September and the contractor that they gave us said that an electrician was needed. The electricians came out to the house but then they told us that it should be an HVAC person that needed to come. The HVAC person came in to do something and he didn’t let me know. He ordered the parts and it took them until December to come in. It’s not hot anymore to determine if the system is working and up to now, we don’t know if it’s gonna give us AC in the house. The guy didn’t test it. He just put the part in and left. Calling 2-10 was also a problem because no one wanted to transfer me to anyone. The supervisors would say this but then the contract person would say that they would change it to somebody else. The next thing we knew, it was the same person. There was a lot of going back and forth and it was a mess, so I lost hope. I’m dissatisfied.

    The reps at 2-10 are friendly and professional, but I don’t find them knowledgeable enough about home things, like if I am saying something, they don’t know exactly what it is. They have to go back and check with somebody. Also, the technicians are very rude and have no interest to fix things. They just want to come back again and again. The first person came with another guy that was shadowing him, but as a professional person, he should have introduced that person. They don’t even understand why it's so important.

    With the second company I worked with, I watched on Google how to fix a PRV valve and it's very simple to do. The tech said I don’t have the parts, so I told them to go ahead and get them. Then they showed up and said, "We forgot to call you. There's an emergency situation for the plumber." But I took off from my work and I lost over $800 of my salary just to get this appointment. I feel like when I am calling people through 2-10, they know that they're gonna get the money so they don’t need to do their best work. When I call people from the outside, they will try to fix it on that day. I feel like not having any warranty because eventually, I have to pay.

    I've been with 2-10 for seven years now and my experience with them has been very good. They never fail on anything and if I have any problems in my house, they always send someone right away, within a day or two. I usually submit claims online, and then sometimes someone reaches out to me within an hour or usually within 24 hours. The contractor that came out recently was very good. They showed up on time and told me what the issue was, and they had the problem fixed.

    My realtor got the 2-10 warranty for me as a moving gift when I bought my first house. I moved in 2015 and this will be my 4th year with 2-10. I’ve only ever had to submit one claim with them, but it was not very seamless. The claim was a few months ago and I did it online. The reps said their contractor would be calling me to get the issue done, but I never got a call from the contractor, so I had to call 2-10. They gave me the contractor’s personal cell and I called it and left a message, but I never got a response. 2-10 said to just keep calling the cell. There was nothing I could do about it if they didn’t call me back. And then, I let 2-10 know the issue I was having. However, they said it was not gonna be covered anyway. So, I ended up fixing the issue myself. I suggest to 2-10 that they make sure they have contractors that are gonna do the job.

    I've had 2-10 for almost a year and it hasn’t been very pleasant. I’ve only submitted two service requests through the home warranty. The first one I submitted was back in July. The contractor come out and did an evaluation. They sent the information in. I got a phone call saying that only certain amount of the repair should be covered, and I would have to come out of pocket on some. It was a reasonable price so I thought sure but no one ever came out to fix the problem. Nobody ever corresponded with me.

    Then, when I called back to kinda see what was going on, because it said the service was completed when there was no service completed, I talked to a person through the home warranty. I had received a phone call saying that my claim had been denied, and that it would not be covered, and that I pretty much had to figure it out on my own.

    So, I submitted another service because our microwave had gone out. When I was looking there were two separate coverages, you got the Supreme or the basic. When I was submitting the second claim, I saw that in parenthesis, under my contract number, it says Supreme coverage included. When I looked underneath all the things covered in the Supreme coverage, it showed where the issue I had was actually, should have been covered. I made a phone call and got correspondence that yes, I do have Supreme coverage and the issue would be taken care of.

    A week later, I got a phone call saying, “Mr. **, this claim will not be taken care of because it was prior to the terms of service, due to an incorrect installation,” so on, and so forth. So, then, I was denied that claim again. On my second claim with our microwave, a contractor got in touch with me in a timely manner. But the contractor said they were gonna meet me. We scheduled the time. They called me two and a half hours after the time, told me they weren’t gonna come out because they couldn’t make it. And then, they asked me to do a diagnosis over the phone. So I requested a different contractor. So it has been very frustrating.

    In my opinion, if I was gonna be denied due to terms of service when we signed the papers for the home warranty, technically everything in the house wouldn’t fall under coverage if it was prior to terms of service, because the house was built before my terms of service. That’s ridiculous. I don’t understand what the point of the service is or what actually gets done if everything just gets denied all the time.

    When I asked what my options were they said I could get in touch with the person who did the installation, and see if they would warrant their work. And I said, “So, you want me to call somebody who did it wrong the first time, to trust them to come and do it right the second time?" That really was bad advice. If I was gonna buy another house, I would not go with 2-10 Home Warranty, or I wouldn’t ask for it.

    We have been covered by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for almost three and a half years. We used it a lot in the first year. It’s pretty easy to submit claims online, but there are definitely some small things that they could maintain. And it takes anywhere from 24 hours to a week for a contractor to come out and they have been good so far. I wouldn’t have had the warranty if it wasn't part of the deal when we bought the house.

    Coming up on a year now, my warranty through 2-10 came with my house when I purchased it. I've submitted a claim once and it worked out well. 2-10's website is user-friendly and the contractor who came out was excellent. The only issue was that it took a while to get him out here. Our heat went out during a cold time of the winter, and it was four days before the contractor was here. It wasn't his fault that he was four days out. It was like a one man's job, so I understand. It would be nice, though, if we are able to choose from a list of contractors. Nevertheless, the guy was very interactive. I told him I liked seeing what's going on so I watched him do the whole thing. Having the 2-10 warranty saved me money, considering that it only cost me 100 bucks when he came out.

    For eight years now, I've been with 2-10 and whenever I have a claim, I file it over the phone. I like talking to a real, live, breathing person instead of a machine. When I don't have an issue, their reps are great. But when I do have one, they're polite but not really helpful. They should get it right the first time. They can ask questions if they don't understand and they can explain if they deny service. They can do a better job of explaining. The technicians that come to my home seem great. But the ones that come to my rental townhouse, which is in a different city, are sometimes good and sometimes aren't.

    Submitting a claim to 2-10 wasn’t very pleasant for us and there was a lack of clear communication in the claiming process. We had a bathroom leak that had our garage below and the roof was flooding underneath the bathroom. It was a same-day emergency, but 2-10 couldn't send anybody out within 24 hours. There wasn’t any contractors available. My husband spoke with the claims rep and asked for a list so that he could call more contractors and see who was actually available that day. The claims rep said that they didn’t have a list and that the system just auto generates a contractor that they think matches our needs.

    So we outsourced the job to an out-of-network contractor on our own with the explanation that we would be reimbursed. But it wasn’t clear and concise to explain that it wouldn’t be a full reimbursement. Upon the attempts to get reimbursed, 2-10 lost my paperwork somehow. It was supposed to be on the way. I was under the impression that they had received everything. After the due date for the reimbursement, they came to find out they had the wrong file under our account. Somebody else’s claim was under our account. After we resubmitted the paperwork, we realized that the reimbursement wasn’t the same amount that we thought it would be. The explanations that they gave were not very clear or fair. After that we chose to cancel with them.

    I filed a claim on 12-31-2018 with your company for my dryer. BGH Electronics quickly came out to diagnose. A part was ordered by your company and delivered to them on 1-16-19. On 1-22-19, after still not hearing from them despite messages being left, I called your company back to request a new provider be dispatched to complete the repair. I was told that a new part would be sent to the new provider and was due to be delivered on either Friday 1-25-19 or Monday 1-28-19. I tracked the shipment and discovered today that it was delivered to Louisville, KY... I live in MD.

    When I called back your customer service center I was "disconnected" from twice, once after 45 min of mainly being on hold and once after 12 minutes of only being on hold. What information I finally did get from them was completely contradictory to what I was told last week when I called to have a new contractor assigned. This time I was told that a new contractor had to come diagnose this problem first and then a new part would be ordered. Not at all what I was informed of last week.

    So come to find out that no new part was ever ordered. The shipment tracking information that they provided me was the shipment of the returned part from the first contractor that never returned my calls. Now I have to sit and wait for another contractor to come to re-diagnose the problem and then for another part to be shipped to them. I requested of your purchasing supervisor, Oscar **, to be placed on hold while a contractor was contacted to find someone that can come to my home today and I was told that "it looks poorly on our numbers to put someone on hold so I will not do that. I frankly don't care what your numbers look like. It shouldn't matter. What should matter is the customer service that is provided. It has been nothing but poor, and that's being kind.

    Let's move onto the contractors that your company hires. Your company has taught me one valuable lesson... Always check reviews before accepting someone to do repairs. Here is a link to the Yelp reviews of the first contractor that was dispatched to my home: **. Yes, the first review is mine but the rest of them speak volumes. Had your company done its due diligence when hiring contractors I predict that I would not be in this predicament. I wouldn't have had to spend almost 30 days taking my laundry to a laundromat and spending in excess of what the service fee is. I wouldn't have had to put aside other priorities to go do my laundry elsewhere and make sure my children had clean clothes had your company done its due diligence when hiring contractors. Hiring this sort of contractor tells me that you really don't care about your customers or the value of the work they provide. This reflects back on you.

    Here's what I am asking for. If my dryer cannot be fixed this week I was a new one purchased for me this week. I should not have to wait this long for something that maybe should have taken 2.5 weeks. I have use American Home Shield in the past and never had this kind of issue with any claim that was ever filed with us. We only chose your company because that's who was assigned when our home was built. When our year was up of free warranty coverage, your sales representatives harassingly called my husband to no end until he agreed to pay for the warranty for the next year. I regret this decision. It has been nothing but headache since having to deal with your company and I want this made right.

    This warranty has been a total disappointment so far. I was on the phone all day (and I mean all day) yesterday and spoke with 7 different 2-10 representatives. Many of which contradicted one another, and few provided any assistance or progress. They denied my claim to repair my furnace, and I will quote them directly word for word, "Claim denied due to improper installation". Here is the word for word language in my Supreme executed contract under the Work Scope titled "Heating: Items covered: Improper installation/repair/modification". Their explanation of this line item is that coverage is only provided when a 2-10 contractor improperly installs/repairs/modifies your unit, but no coverage is provided when a previous (previous owners or previous to the agreement) contractor improperly installs/repairs/modifies the unit". However, nowhere in the contract does it state this.

    I've asked four 2-10 reps to show me where in the contract it states that and each told me "it doesn't but that's what it means". Joshua in Save the Plan department (I found it interesting they have a dept title this) actually 100% agreed with me, and told me the reps I spoke with were wrong and that I would receive a call hopefully reversing 2-10's decision within 2 hours. That has not happened yet. Anyway 7 days without heat and counting and 2-10's present stance is Claim Denied which means I paid them $89 to tell me that and now I'm on my own for all repairs with ZERO assistance and coverage.

    I had a plumber from Coastal Mechanical come out to repair a plumbing problem as recommended by my 2-10 Home warranty company. The Coastal representative insisted on the deductible paid in cash at the initial inspection and gave me a receipt on a very unprofessional company letterhead. The gentleman arrived, tried to fix the issue at hand but said that the toilet would need to be replaced. He said he would call 2-10 to get authorization and contact me first thing Monday morning. Hours passed and no contact was made with me. I called for an update & got a message the phone number was not accepting calls and directed me to another number. Called the additional number and was prompted with the same message.

    I called the warranty company and they said the diagnostic was normal wear & tear and not covered. I have still not had any communication with this company. Not even the common decency for them to call and advise my issue wasn’t covered. Just took my $100 deductible and ran. I had to pay out of pocket to have the issue at hand fixed but the company I chose was very prompt and efficient. I am very disappointed in the company recommended by 2-10 this time around. I have always been so satisfied when I needed to file a claim. Now I’m hesitant to trust the contractors they send out.

    I've been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for four months now and my experience with the company has been okay so far.

There was a smell that was intermittent but persistent and one representative told me it wasn't covered, while the next one told me it was. I wish the woman who was able to help me told me that smells weren't covered.

    The company which came out wanted $70 for doing nothing, except for running my water, which I had already done. I told them there were no leaks. It was a little annoying to get my money back although 2-10 sent me a check eventually for the $70 service fee. The last time, there was a little miscommunication with the locksmith guy. He thought it was $70 plus $15, which was supposed to be just the $70. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to fix one of the locks. Another guy came but didn't fix the washer-dryer the first time and he had to come back. It was not the best with scheduling with the company that 2-10 contracted with.

    I've had 2-10 since I bought my current house in the beginning of May last year. I either call or submit claims online, and my most recent claim was for an electrical wiring on my HVAC unit. It was a pretty slack experience because it was something that was done to the house prior to us owning it and it wasn't covered by them. So, we ended up having to slip a thousand dollar bill along with the $400 we paid to have contractors through 2-10 come out and try to figure out what the problem was. Eventually, we were out $1,400 for the whole process. We've had a couple of other claims where the contractors came out a couple different times for smaller issues and those were mostly resolved. Still, we will not be going with 2-10 again.

    I submitted a claim for my water heater and the contractor came out. They had to replace some piping and then all of a sudden, 2-10 was not covering that. I needed my water heater replaced and I didn’t really have a choice at that point. We had no hot water. So I spent more money than what I had initially assumed I would.

    The technician that came was great though. He was very professional and he had good service. He knew the importance of me needing my water heater fixed for my house. He told me exactly what was going on and got the job done right away. They had to take the old one out and then buy a new one. It took a couple of hours to get done, but it was within reasonable timing. 2-10's coverage is okay, but I wish they have better coverage and more transparency. I probably won't use them again. I'm gonna look at a different home warranty company once the policy comes up for renewal.

    I have been dealing with a heat pump issue for 2 weeks. The 1st contractor they assigned was to the house 3x Air Now and roped my husband into paying contractor directly. Last I checked, that is credit card fraud. H2 called Air Now and made them refund my money. Shortly after that they hammered the card again and H210 said they were cutting me a check in which I still haven't seen. I told H2 that I never wanted that co. in my house again. Next day H2 dispatched another co. who could not find anything wrong with the unit but said that since Air Now diagnosed a coil condenser that they will order it. Well my unit is under manufacturer warranty and we were under the assumption that the warranty did not cover parts because the previous owner did not purchase the parts option. We called H2 back (still we are confused) and was told we could get it overturned.

    On Sat Jan 19th we called the purchasing dept as told and they submitted the claim. On Tues Jan 22nd we called the contractor because they were going to overturn the denial but needed him to verify that it was the condenser. However no one called us. The contractor or 2-10 to let us know that it was denied. So my question is why don't they use quality contractors and they all seem to have different information at 2-10 and no one communicates at 2-10 with other dept or reads notes. We called 2 different numbers for Goodman as well. This has been a nightmare and we have no answer still. We called a reputable contractor Hiller in the Nashville TN area and will pay them out of pocket. Not happy!!!

NO contractors they sent out were able to diagnose problems accurately on the 1st visit, and then the repairs have all been done incorrectly. Same with plumbing contractors. It's been a HUGE waste of our time, and of course, 2-10 doesn't want to pay claims. When YOU pay the $75 service fee, the payment YOU make REDUCES THE OVERALL BENEFIT 2-10 PAYS FOR THAT REPAIR - it's a racket!! Run away people - these guys are VERY bad news for consumers.

    I called 2-10 Home Buyers when our garage door opener went out. Somebody came and said that it wasn't up to code. The previous owner ran an extension cord and didn't have a plug at the ceiling where the garage opener was and 2-10 wouldn't pay for it. I got that and I wasn't too upset. 2-10 replaced my pool pump when Hurricane Harvey hit and it wore out but it took awhile for them to get somebody out. They would put out the call but the person wouldn't call me. I called 2-10 and they put another one. Finally, after the fourth call, they got somebody out here, but I'm not sure that they would have been so nice about paying for it had they not screwed up in the first place and nobody had shown up for three times, so I have my doubts on a lot of things.

    2-10 also replaced a water line, so we've had some good times and bad times, but the worst one was with my water heater that went out and started leaking. They contracted G.U.R Services to come and fix it. G.U.R made an appointment with me to come out and assess the water heater but they never came out. They called me and asked me to send them pictures, so they could get it expedited quickly. So, I sent them pictures and they sent in their assessment to 2-10. 2-10 set it up and they said it will cost $600 and I agreed to it.

    G.U.R was gonna move my water heater away from the wall and they were gonna put it on a stand and put a drain pan in. They were gonna run a drain line and move the vent pipe. They said they were gonna bring it up to code and make sure that everything was right which was why I was paying the $600 and I agreed to that because we needed to bring it up to code. G.U.R showed up and installed the water heater, but they did not put in a drain pan and did not put in a sediment trap like they had contracted to 2-10 and charged me for. They did not move the water heater and it was literally an inch from the wall. I was very dissatisfied with it. The guy couldn't even get the thing working. For a while, we thought we had a lemon.

    It was a two-week process trying to get the thing working and the whole time, I was trying to communicate with 2-10. I called them six times to see what we could resolve but I kept getting the runaround. I would get sent in different directions and I would be told to call back. There was one time I called and the lady was sounding like she was gonna resolve it, but she halted it and said she couldn’t do it and everything she told me because she was not allowed to. She told me I had to take it up with the claims department. I was on the phone with her for about an hour and then, she said that the claims department was closed. I asked when they closed and she said it was 15 minutes ago. We've been on the phone the whole time and she could've switched me over there, but she didn't. Then, she hung up on me.

    I called back and tried to get somebody else. Finally, after six times of calling, I got somebody in customer services that could actually help me. They said that they would pay for my plumber to come out and fix it and make it right. I have sent my stuff in but I have not heard back nor received my check to be reimbursed for that. If I don't get something back in the next week or so, then I'm calling a small claims lawyer and seeing what kind of case I have because I'm fed up and I paid $600. 2-10 agreed to reimburse me $440 or whatever cost for my plumber to come out and do it and I said okay.

    What G.U.R. did was not right. I refused to let them come out and fix it because, after three times of coming out and not getting it right and not fixing it, I just wanted my own guy to do it. To 2-10's credit, they allowed me to bring my own guy out. Now, I'm hoping that they make good on their process that they will reimburse me for my plumber coming out. I'm still out $200 on this deal. I got fed up with it which is why I'm not going to re-up my membership with 2-10. I kept asking people what this company was going to do to help or to support me. Nobody could tell me and nobody could say anything. My expectation would be that the G.U.R people are now putting 2-10 out $400 because of their mess and they are costing 2-10 money because of their incompetence.

    Submitting a claim with 2-10 is easy. I've done it over the phone and online, depending on the issue and how easy it is, like if I’m driving. The online site is easy to use and the user interface is fine. But the companies that I’ve used, in general, have not been great. I put a claim in this week since I had flooding in my bathroom. My pipes are clogged so I can’t use any water. I can't take a shower or use the restroom. The company that 2-10 dispatched was going to be here on Wednesday but their truck broke down and there was no ability for them to give me the next appointment or the next person.

    2-10 has been responsive but the only option they gave me was to place a ticket for another company. But it’s not a benefit for me to do that. If I place a ticket on Wednesday, I'm not really guaranteed they would call on Thursday and not guaranteed an appointment until Friday, which is when they rescheduled the other original appointment. I’m still waiting today and it’s Friday. That's not a lot with 2-10 but it’s a very big inconvenience for me. However, this is an isolated case for sure.

    I want to know if 2-10 Home Appliance warranty company is doing any kind of background or drug check on the people they are sending to our house since they can't answer to my question. My refrigerator stopped working two weeks ago and I opened a ticket with 2-10 since I have warranty through them. They sent this tech to my house. He spent 2 minutes and left telling me that he fixed the issue but did not. When I called him later on the day, he told me that it needs a compressor and he will order one through 2-10. I followed up with 2-10.

    He received the compressor on 1/17/2019. He told me that he will call me on Friday to see if he can come over the weekend and he will come to my house on Monday if he cannot make it. I called him on Monday and he told me that he called but I did not answer. I told him that I do not have a miss call or VM on my phone. He told me that he will check with his warehouse and he needs to get additional part but warehouse might be closed because of the MLK day. (Question is why wouldn't he order that extra part through 2-10 like he did for compressor which he has to get approval but 2-10 has no record of needing extra part than compressor.)

    He told me that he will be at my house today between 9-12 but he did not show up. I called again and he told me that he might come today or another time since he is busy. He also told me that he doesn't know why 2-10 send him a compressor. He does not think the issue is compressor. He needs to come and diagnose then find out what the issue is. I did many calls to 2-10. I talked to Oscar ** and he stopped responding to my calls.

    My Realtor suggested 2-10 and that they were pretty good. I got the Supreme package as a gift from my Realtor. When I had a water heater go out, it was covered by 2-10. I submitted the claim online ad they were quick to email and set up the appointment. The water heater was replaced, but it wants to keep opening the T&P valve because it builds up too much pressure. We thought it was just a bad water heater. So the plumber just kept on coming out. It was a hassle getting a plumber to get it fixed, and then having to come back out and come back out again. They came out, looked at it, changed something, but it still leaked. We finally got the problem figured out, and the water heater needs some kind of pressure tank so that extra pressure that builds up has somewhere to go, other than just out that valve and onto the floor. But the tank isn’t covered under the warranty, so I’m waiting to pay out of pocket for it.

Because the technician noted the noise they responded and denied claim with "we dont cover replacement for noises". Claim not for noise-that is just a side effect of the pump needing to be replaced ASAP-Which both their contract AND mine noted. I will be taking further action on principle because they are obligated to replace my broken pump and filter. This was after they initially sent their contractor out who claimed the pump was too big and that is why system broke... That was not the case.

    If I could give 2-10 Home Warranty a zero stars- matter of fact a negative million + on the stars I would! These warranties are a HUGE scam! Our Builder, Kerley Family Homes in Marietta, Georgia, puts in their contract when you purchase their homes that they offer this wonderful 2-10 home warranty that will protect you against breakdowns and structural repairs. They give you a false sense of thinking that if something goes wrong with your home you're covered. It is a big lie! We submitted a claim to 2-10 for our leaking retaining wall and they have done nothing for us.

    Our biggest problem is Within less than a year after we purchased our home, our hardwoods in the dining room, foyer, and formal living room started separating. Our garage floor began cracking. We now have spider web cracks almost 1/2 inch wide all over our garage and the builder came and ripped up our floors in March 2018. It exposed the huge crack. Kerley Family Homes wanted to simply come out and try to float some concrete over the crack to level the floors and then put the hardwoods back down again without investigating why it happened in the first place. We wouldn't allow them to do this.

    We asked the builder to contact a structural engineer and they refused. We hired our own structural engineer and after they saw the report, they finally did send out a structural engineer who agreed we need to have a pier system installed. Both structural engineers recommended a soils analysis be done. We requested that the builder pay for this. They refused.

    We paid for our own soils analysis and they advised that Kerley Family Homes used improper fill by using topsoil when our home was built. We now have a foundation that is cracked and we've gotten estimates to put in a pier system to repair and shore up the foundation to the tune of over $43,000! Kerley Family Homes told us to file a claim with the 2-10 warranty company so we did.

    The 2-10 home warranties are absolutely worthless unless your home is "unlivable, unsanitary or otherwise unsafe. " We paid the $250 charge to file a claim with them and they have denied us repeatedly because of those standards not being met. In other words, your house has to be falling down before they'll do anything. It is a total joke. If you buy a home from a builder that has a 2-10 warranty, you're basically out of luck. You sign away your rights that you cannot sue the Builder and Kerley Family Homes knows this and takes advantage of home buyers by offering this "wonderful coverage to homeowners' peace of mind". The only ones who have peace of mind are the builders who make the 2-10 home warranty part of their contract. It protects them and not the homebuyer!

    The company acknowledges that we have an issue and that they understand it's probably going to get worse, but they are counting on the fact that it may not become "unlivable, unsanitary, or otherwise unsafe" before the 10 years is up and then they will be off the hook! It is absolutely despicable! So that's my review. 2-10 home warranty company is a huge scam that protects the Builder and totally harms homeowners! As far as their coverage of breakdowns for appliances, air conditioner, Etc, they may actually do a little bit of good in these areas, but most of the time they have limits and exceptions on what they will cover here as well.

    We purchased the "Standard" coverage warranty from 2-10 and ended up losing money to them in our first and only service request; and as a result, went for 3 weeks without any hot water in the middle of the winter during a snow storm. 2-10 and their service contractor monopolized our situation in order to make money rather than cover repair costs. In addition to unethical business practices, 2-10’s service contractor was unprofessional and provided terrible customer service. The contractor showed up late to appointments and did not communicate in a timely manner. 2-10 was also unwilling to reach a reasonable resolution and sought every way to make money in all outcomes.

    Here’s what happened: Our water heater needed to be replaced, it was a very old water heater – so with replacement came obvious minor changes to bring the water heater system up to code. Our Standard warranty covered the water heater tank and the labor but not the additional parts that were needed in order to bring the water heater up to code. (In my opinion, 2-10 should’ve known the model and age of the water heater; and disclosed the extra costs with replacing it.) Either way, we conceded and decided we didn’t mind paying out of pocket for a few parts.

    But then we informed that the service contractor was charging us a whopping $600 for the additional parts. We spoke to reps at 2-10 and let them know we were not comfortable paying $600 for parts considering the cost of the entire water heater tank was $600. 2-10 told us they had no control over the cost of the parts, and we’d have to negotiate directly with the contractor. We spoke to the contractor, but he was not willing to bring down his price. After going back to 2-10 seeking a resolution, 2-10 told us we had the option of taking a buy-out check, which is a check for the cost of the parts and labor they would cover should we decide to have them perform the work.

    The buy-out amount they offered us was only $435 – not even enough to cover the cost of a water heater tank from your local Home Depot, let alone the labor and additional parts! 2-10 argued that they had an agreed fixed price with the contractor for labor ($150) and they purchased their water heater tanks at a wholesale price ($285) and were not willing to pay for the retail price for the water heater tank and labor if we chose to take the buy-out. On the other hand, if we chose to do the work solely through the contractor without 2-10 he could charge us upwards of $1500. In other words; if we decided to repair through the warranty, we’d have to pay $600 out of pocket. If we decided to take the buy-out we’d only receive $435 and still have to pay the contractor the remaining balance out of pocket.

    To add insult to injury, I inquired about canceling my warranty for the remaining months and getting a pro-rated reimbursement because I was so unhappy with the service they provided. The pro-rated reimbursement should’ve equaled $175. When I spoke to a rep in the cancellation department, they informed me that previous repairs they had to “pay-out” had totaled $110 so they would be taking that $110 out of my reimbursement and only reimbursing $65. Now this makes no sense because if 2-10 is supposed to cover the cost of repairs, why would it come out of the money I paid for the policy (or my reimbursement?) That would mean I paid for my repairs – not 2-10 – which would void the need for a warranty in the first place. I asked the rep this question and she had no answer, she referred me to a supervisor’s voicemail. I have yet to hear back from said “supervisor.”

    So all in all, we have paid $500 for a 2-10 warranty policy (and $75 for a contractor service fee) which is only willing to cover $435 worth of work. On top of that, we also had to pay hundreds of dollars for repairs that 2-10 is supposed to cover. We might as well have kept our money from the onset and put it towards the repairs rather than purchasing their terrible, terrible, no-help warranty. STAY AWAY FROM 2-10! DO NOT BUY THEIR COVERAGE!

    Let me start by saying, I know home warranty companies need to be profitable. I don't believe I have unrealistic expectations of the benefits of having one - it should provide "peace of mind" and the best ones will come in clutch when you need them the most. My personal experience with 2-10 has not provided either of those for our household. My wife and I purchased a home that had all original appliances and systems, putting them at 18-19 years old. In our mind, there's no better reason to invest in a premium-tier home warranty, for fear that we would not be able to bear the financial burden of having to repair/replace all of them in the chance they all begin going out around the same time.

    Sure enough, the first year and a half in our new home, HVAC goes out, dishwasher starts leaking and failing, toilets start failing. My first experience with 2-10 was to put in a claim on a leak from our dishwasher that did some significant damage to our floor and ceiling below. I called it in and the agent told me it would be a week before their contractor could come. I accepted this, but then did some research on the contractor they'd be sending. All the online reviews for the contractor were very negative, so I called back requesting a different one. I was told I'd have to re-start the claim process, going back to the bottom of the queue and they'd get back to me in 1-2 days... I was so frustrated that I canceled the claim and had a neighbor help me repair it myself, out of pocket.

    When the HVAC failed, it was the heat of summer. We got a reasonably quick response on our claim, a tech arrived in 48 hrs. Upon evaluation of our unit, he recommended that we get a new HVAC. I said, "Great - it's covered under our warranty!" He said, "No, I can likely order a replacement part or 2 that will get this one back up and running, but it will likely go out again, not to mention it is far less efficient than newer HVAC models." So instead of getting an immediate fix in the form of a new HVAC unit that day, the tech had to order parts that took even more time and left us without air for another day and $75 band-aid until it goes out again.

    We have a current claim in progress, the dishwasher has completely failed, has water trapped inside, won't run a wash or drain cycle, thus smells...awful. A contractor came weeks ago, much like our HVAC situation, agrees we need a new dishwasher, but of course we can't get one - instead he orders a new pump, new motor on our 19 year old dishwasher. That has been 2 weeks ago and we've been hand-washing dishes for nearly a month now with 2 kids and our next appointment not for another week...not fun. Another $75 band-aid on something that is bound to break, leak and cause more damage and headaches in the near future.

    You get the picture - we're paying for their top-tier, premium coverage plan, but not getting ANY top-tier or premium treatment, the only benefit has been our deductible is $75 instead of $100...yippie. We're going to keep spending $75 every time something breaks, waiting weeks or months on parts and service on outdated and inefficient equipment. All the while, I have no interest in calling in for help on toilets or other issues we have. We have no peace of mind with 2-10 and they're yet to come in clutch for us when we've needed them most. We'll be looking elsewhere when our warranty is up for renewal and I urge you to look elsewhere.

    Of the 701 reviews of this company on this website (just this year), 325 are 1 star (just under half) - that should tell you all you need to know right there. However, allow me to contribute 1 more example of how this scam works. We paid a premium for warranty (insurance) of our home's plumbing, appliances, and HVAC system on the recommendation of our real estate broker (who gets a commission). The company then sets an out of pocket deductible that is just high enough that you never want to use the warranty, and that deductible is per incident, so if the same appliance requires multiple service calls, you pay multiple deductibles (we have paid 3 so far for the same appliance - for the same repair).

    However, the deductible is not so high that it seems like if something catastrophic happens, you have coverage. When something catastrophic happens, and a unit must be replaced, they push you to take their "buy out", which is based on THEIR purchase price, not what you can actually purchase the unit for, and does not include installation, or disposal of the old unit. As a result, it is about HALF of what actual replacement costs. For example, when my refrigerator failed, I was offered a buy out of $1946. For me to go down to Lowe's and purchase the same refrigerator is $2899 + delivery fees, + disposal of my old fridge, + my time to install (or more money to hire someone).

    Here is where they really get shady... They made a point twice of insisting that I make sure that the replacement refrigerator dimensions will work. When I looked up the dimensions of their replacement, it is 1/2" taller than my cabinet opening. I informed them that this model will not work, and that I would require a different one, their response was "This is our equivalent replacement. However, we can send you a replacement from a category size smaller if you wish." I said no, "You can purchase my replacement Whirlpool refrigerator instead of a GE one, and it will fit perfectly" - THEY ARE A WHIRLPOOL DISTRIBUTOR! Their response - "we do not carry an equivalent model. Would you like us to send out the GE replacement model - or you can accept the buy out offer."

    Here is the analogy, you just had your starter fail on your Ford Taurus, for which you have repair insurance. You call the insurance company, and they tell you, "We know it doesn't fit your vehicle, but we can send you a new starter for a Chevy Impala, or we can send you half of what you need to replace the starter and you can go to the auto parts store yourself." It is going to be less expense to me if I modify my cabinetry, so I have to do that before the replacement refrigerator arrives - which of course they will not pay for. Honestly, if any of the other 1 star reviewers works for a law firm, we should all get together and investigate the potential of a class action lawsuit.

    January 15, 2019. Our reason for cancelling the Contract is from something that has been galling me since last November of 2018. Last November of 2018, we submitted a claim to 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10) to have our washing machine repaired because it was not spinning and draining completely as designed. A 2-10 representative (rep) said he would submit the claim and would then follow up. He said it would take 24 hours to get authorization and that he would email me with the contractor information. He said the contractor would be calling me afterwards. A couple days had passed and still no email or a call from 2-10 or the contractor. I called and told the 2-10’s rep that I hadn’t heard from 2-10 or from a contractor. The rep told us we resided far out from their service area and it would take a little longer to find a service technician.

    The next day a 2-10 rep called and said he had the authorization. I told the 2-10 rep no contractor had called to come and repair the washer. He said he didn’t know why the contractor didn’t contact us. He suggested for us to call him to set up an appointment to have our washer repaired. I then called Leo’s Appliance Repair from the Modesto, California area and set up an appointment. A few days later an appliance service technician, Leo, arrived. After a while he was able to get the washer to run correctly. He stated the drive belt had slipped off the pulleys and that all it took was for him to slip it back on. I paid Leo the $75 deductible with a check. However, shortly after Leo left, the washer failed again to spin and drain.

    I called Leo and told him the washer had failed once again to spin and drain. At this point, Leo said he would contact 2-10 and let them know I would need a second opinion from another service technician. His attitude was not in the least professional because an appliance repair company is supposed to guarantee their work to the customer’s satisfaction. In my novice opinion, the cause of the drive belt slipping off the pulleys was because it had stretched out of shape and would need to be replaced with a new belt.

    I called 2-10 and complained about the horrible service we received from Leo’s Appliance Repair. A few days later a 2-10 representative called and stated that according to Leo he did in fact return and that the washing machine was working properly. The 2-10’s representative made me feel like he was taking Leo’s statement as being truthful. The untruthfulness that Leo stated angered me. I told the representative that Leo’s statement of what happened was unequivocally untrue. Leo did not return. If Leo had returned then he should have a follow-up work order.

    I told 2-10’s representative that customer satisfaction under 2-10’s Contract with me was not fulfilled. I have no idea why Leo refused to return and complete the work he had started. It is my opinion he did an easy job and now his wallet is $75 fatter. Kind of like “taking candy from a baby”. I truly believe Leo’s Appliance Repair scammed me and lied to 2-10. The 2-10 representative then suggested for me to seek and hire a service technician of my choosing to complete the service work and that 2-10 will reimburse me the new cost for the service charge. I chose not to take the suggestion because when Leo lied then other contractors can steal money from the customers too. Because Leo and 2-10 left me feeling uncomfortable, I got $75 stolen out of my pocket. Instead, I ended up fixing it myself and it was much cheaper than the $75 deductible.

    2-10 must screen their repair contractors better. Leo’s Appliance Repair is a joke and 2-10 did nothing to help me. It seems 2-10 doesn’t care who they contract with. 2-10’s highest ranking administrative executives are not taking responsibility to train their salespeople properly or to fine tune their operational procedures and employing reliable, reputable and self-conscience contractors to ensure their customers receive the best customer service possible.

    I'm very, very disappointed with 2-10’s lack of advocacy as well as poor customer service. I cannot trust 2-10’s lack of true customer service and will not renew my Contract or recommend them to anyone. There is no purpose of having a warranty from 2-10 if they can’t or will not fulfill their contractual obligations in a professional and satisfactory manner. BUYERS BEWARE - Do yourself a favor and get a better warranty through a company who cares about you. I am submitting a copy of this letter to my banking institution’s customer service department letting them know the automatic monthly warranty payments for that account will be terminated. This letter to 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty is so that it is known that my bank has been informed. I request for written verification of warranty cancellation.

    I've had coverage with this company for a year and a half and my experience with them was horrible! I'd give them a one-half star if that was an option! It took 30-days before it was determined my plumbing problem was not even covered! A month of sending several unqualified plumbers who either could not figure out the problem or were diagnosing the problem incorrectly, not to mention the long and painful hold times when trying to follow-up on my claim.

    Ultimately in the end, I had paid a $100 deductible for something that was not even covered, and I still have the same plumbing problem I had 30-days ago! I should have trusted the reviews on this company that I had already read. But I had this warranty company when I had a brand-new home built, which did not have any major problems in the five years that I owned it. It was a very bad decision going with this company for an older home! I have 6 more months with them, I will not be renewing with this company! I do not trust how any future claims will be handled. They probably need to only sell warranties for brand new homes, that do not have many major problems!

    I'm now on my second year with 2-10. The first year was purchased by people we bought the home from and then this year, we paid for ourselves. Submitting a claim has not been very well for me mainly because we were what they considered "out of network" which they should've addressed beforehand. We didn't have any sort of prep before that to inform us that there was an "out of network". So, anytime we submit a claim, we have to wait for no more than 48 hours for them to try to find somebody that can come and service our claim. The first time I submitted a claim was for an AC issue. After 96 hours of having no AC and not hearing from them, I called 2-10 back. That was when they told me we were out of network and that they were trying to find somebody. They told me that I could have the "out of network" contractor come out. So, I had two separate contractors come out and both contractors stated that I needed a whole new AC.

    After that, they wanted one of their contractors, which took another three or four days. They finally found one after the original 96 hours and me having two separate contractors coming out because they didn't want just one giving that huge of an adjustment. They found the contractor, he came out and he agreed that it needed to be a whole new system. However, they didn't wanna put in the system that I wanted so I opted for the pay-out because I could just pay the difference and get the AC system in my house that I wanted, not just whatever was cheapest that they were able to get. That was the plan and then after a few more days of back and forth, they still weren't going forward with that, even though they were the ones that presented that as an option. So, I'd have to have their contractor do it. That was back in May of 2018 and I still have work that's left unfinished that they're refusing to take care of.

    The contractor that they required me to use ended up not putting in an emergency drain pan, he hung the system in the attic wrong and there were multiple things. I ended up having to have the original contractor I wanted come back out for service calls, which 2-10 allowed to happen. They ended up having to re-hang the unit, put in the parts that their contractor left sitting in my driveway. Also, there were multiple times that their contractor didn't show up. I've gone back and forth with their customer service multiple times with no avail. So, whenever their contractor would try to set up an appointment with me, if he missed his appointment, I just continue to call and then we'd reschedule another appointment. I didn't know that I needed to call 2-10 and tell them that the contractor still has not shown up.

    Apparently, any time the contractor wanted to set up those appointment, if my schedule didn't match up with his and it was gonna put him multiple days out, he was contacting 2-10 saying that I was not being cooperative and getting open dates closer and so forth. Whenever I presented this to 2-10, they had a laundry list of complaints from their contractor, but I thought that I was dealing with the contractor, not with 2-10, so I wasn't running back to them, telling them every little thing that was going on. The reason I found that out was because the water was leaking through my roof at my attic and into my living room and 2-10 is refusing to fix it. They're stating that's the liability that comes with having the AC changed but they're refusing to make their contractor fix it. I'm very dissatisfied with 2-10.

    I have had mixed experiences with their normal appliance coverage, but their HVAC coverage has been nothing less than horrible. Months of delay, worthless contractors, and specious reasons for denials. I had 3 A/C systems under coverage. They repaired one system in non-matching pieces and refused to pay to rectify the mismatches and air leaks. On another system, they authorised the repairs, and then refused to pay the invoice because the initial diagnosing tech found a rat in the outside condenser and didn't remove it to check the wiring at that spot. The rat had nothing to do with the failure, it was the condenser that leaked, nothing to do with wiring. After four months just sitting on the claim, they used the rat as an excuse not to pay the invoice, even though they knew about the rat before they authorised the repairs! I really should sue them over that, but I don't want to waste my time in a lawsuit just to prove a point.

    2-10 was well-known compared to other companies. I'm right at a year with them and I'm up with my coverage with them sometime this month. I'm trying to find out whether or not renewing. I submitted a claim online and it worked very well. 2-10's website was very functional, very cool and easy because it was done quickly. I love the fact that I can go online in the middle of the night, and by next morning, I'm getting responses. But I called them back when I was off having the issues. 2-10’s setup seemed to be pretty good, but they need to screen their repair people better.

    I was having the same situation with the same appliance. I had to get my refrigerator repaired three times. It was a different part that failed. I was very disappointed with the first company they sent out, and in order for me to get a new company, 2-10 tried and wanted me to keep paying the deductible again. I wasn't happy with that. It was the same diagnosis, but it was multiple parts that failed over time. This was within a four-month period and that was a little frustrating. There has gotta be a better warranty on that repair. When I was talking to the lady back regarding the situation about the same claim, she acted like I did something wrong.

    2-10 was like, “Well, there was a different part that failed this time. So, it's a new claim.” I was like, “No. But if it was the same thing, how would I know this part, was it really fixed the first time, or if it failed then?” I know that the service provider that did it are coming back after me for $100 deductible. The 2-10 rep told me that they would cancel my warranty if I don't pay this gentleman and they would not authorize my repairs. Although the first contractor was okay, the communication was horrible after diagnosing the situation. I got stuck over a week, between waiting out for parts and getting my refrigerator fixed. Everything about them was all the way wrong. I know they’re not connected, but they're still part of 2-10.

    We called 2-10 warranty when your refrigerator stopped working out of nowhere. The customer service rep advised me that it may take up to 3 days to get someone out, since it was 12/23. This resulted in a whole lot of spoiled food, but we were patient. The contractor they sent out to us told us that our fridge had an electrical issue that was not covered, and that if we have him $100 ADDITIONAL dollars that he would take care of it (on top of the initial $100). We paid him, and what he did did not fix the issue.

    We called to report this to 2-10 warranty who said they would address the issue with the contractor, but we still don't have a working fridge, and are out $200. We have been having to eat out for almost all of our meals, we threw away a lot of good food, and basically feel like we are living in a hotel. This is adding up on our expenses. This company is now sending another contractor out tomorrow, as it seems like they are doing everything they can to avoid replacing our fridge which seems to be irreparable. It has been over two weeks and no progress has been made. Unacceptable. I called today to speak to someone about this but was on hold for 30 minutes, so I had to resort to writing out my issue here.

    We had to have our dishwasher, microwave and cooktop worked on through 2-10 and the technicians they sent were fantastic. They were very friendly and very knowledgeable. They had to come out and determine which parts they needed to order and then wait for it to come in. I hope I don’t have to use the warranty again, but I'm definitely willing to keep it on for sure.

    After my hot water heater went out I called 2-10 on 12/31. They had a plumber come out and everything seemed to be going fine. Once the plumber came out it was determined I needed a new tank. Once it got scheduled for 1/7 it was already disappointing that it took so long. Then the contractor 2-10 uses did not arrive after I missed their call by 10 minutes and they forced me to reschedule. The contractor is a joke and 2-10 did nothing to help me, they even refused to let me speak to a customer service manager. This has been a horrible experience and I would recommend that anyone needing work forgo the warranty. OH I forgot to mention, there are about $600 in "uncovered parts" and the $100 service fee. Please do yourself a favor and get a better warranty through a company who cares about their customers.

    Very annoyed they keep saying things were improperly installed so denied claims. We had a sump pump issue in our basement (triggering the fuse). We waited over a week for a plumber to come out (initial plumber kept rescheduling and didn’t show so we called to get another guy). After paying $100 for the plumber, he said a valve was missing so it was considered an improper install and the claim was denied. We paid over $700 to get a new one installed out of pocket because a major rainstorm was forecasted next day and we didn’t want to chance out basement flooding.

    A second claim was when our ceiling was leaking from our upstairs bathroom. They sent the same plumber. Again, after $100 fee, the plumber claimed the pipes were improperly installed so our claim was denied. He estimated $1000 out of pocket to fix it. We got someone else to fix it for $700 but are frustrated that there was no way of us knowing what is considered proper or improper install, behind the walls, from before we owned the house. We are starting to wonder if the warranty company and the contractor has a deal going where he gets $100 to find something and say it is improperly installed so our claims get denied and then quotes a high out of pocket price. Seems like they both win and we pay.

    I did not hear from the plumber so after 48 hours I called and called and called. All I could get was voice mail and three times I left voicemails. He finally returned my call and said he would be out two or three days which was before Christmas. If not then, he said it would be after Christmas and he would call. It is now January 5 and I have not heard from the man. He indicated that he was 88 miles away and that 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty couldn't get anyone to work for them in my area. Frankly, the warranty is not worth the paper it is written on to me because if you can't get people out, you've simply made a gift when you paid the premium. I would love to get mine returned in full. Trying to get things worked on has been a big waste of my time.

    The customer service at 2-10 is great. One of the people that I talked to was rude. But for the most part, they're nice. I don't typically have any problems with them. But the only thing I don't like is they don't put any sort of rush when I have kids in my house. One time, I went without heat and it was 50 something degrees in my house. I was pregnant and I had an eight-year-old. It happened on a Friday, and nobody could come out until Monday.

    I get where they're coming from, but there should be an emergency line, because I've also had a plumbing issue and they put no rush under that one. I had poop backing up into my showers. As for the contractor, I only go through this one plumbing company and I love them. They've always been able to help. And even if I put in the claim on Thursday night after hours, they'll come to my house by Friday and get everything done. I would tell others to get the warranty. It's worth it. Overall, they've been good.

    Hands down worst experience and customer service ever. I had been living in my home for three days when my basement flooded due to an unknown issue with a pipe. I submitted a service request immediately and spoke to a representative who assured me it would be flagged as an emergency (by 2-10's definitions) as I was not able to utilize any water or sewage lines until problem diagnosed. My ticket was reassigned FOUR times due to contractors not being able to be contacted or not able to come out that day to diagnose the problem and 24 hours later still had not had a contractor contact me that could come out and fix the problem.

    The first 3 contractors never contacted me, I had to contact all three of them and never heard from the 4th one. I had to get a contractor of my own out, as I still wasn't even able to use the toilets in my home and then 2-10 had the nerve to tell me that they would over cover $96 of the $550 plumber bill. I will be seeking a total refund for my service agreement and will never work with them again. Being a new homeowner dealing with this type of problem is stressful enough, when you then pay for a service you don't receive and are insulted by the support they provide after having to deal with it on your own was just salt in the wound. My issue happened on 12/20/18 and as of today 1/4/19, the status on my account still says service request dispatched.

    I've dealt with many different types of warranty programs, customer service representatives for many different types of services but I have never been more furious or disappointed with a company before. Even better, one of the representatives actually told me that their job wasn't to schedule and ensure a contractor came out to the home, but only to provide financial support... Which blows my mind even more considering he told me they would only reimburse me a fraction of what the service cost. At this point I was better off without the warranty since I provided my own contractor and then ended up having to pay the contractor the exact amount that I paid for the crappy warranty.

    Our furnace went out December 20 and I submitted a request on the 22nd. There aren’t any in network contractors in our area so I was advised to call my own. I did and the 22 year old furnace needs to be replaced. Since it is an out of network provider, 2-10 will only pay $600 or $700 to replace the furnace. I have no idea where they have found a contractor to replace furnaces for this price, but I sure wouldn’t want that furnace or the contractor! It is now January 4 and we are having a new furnace installed. We are having an attorney look over the service agreement. They did however replace our 20 year old air conditioning unit 2 summers ago and didn’t seem to have an issue paying for that. I’m so confused, mad and over it!

    I submitted a service request for my heating system on 12/18/2018 in the morning. I received an email within hours stating that I will be contacted by the contractor within 24 hours. 24 hours have passed and still no call from the contractor or 2-10 so I called the contractor. The contractor told me that he rejected the service request from 2-10 on that same day via email because he was busy. The contractor further said he can come out to the property today if 2-10 haven't sent anyone out yet as he have time today. That was on 20th. The contractor came out about 3 hours later that day. After the contractor came out, he informed my husband and I that the previous contractor that work on it mess up our heating system pretty bad and used incorrect parts (the previous contractor was from 2-10 also that came out in 2009 as I have been with 2-10 since 5/2006).

    The contractor that came out said he sent the email with his reporting to 2-10 on the same day he came out which was the 20th. Several days passed and still no words from the contractor or 2-10 so I called the contractor and he said he just spoke to 2-10 and they told him they would replace the furnace but will need to speak to the owner/me 1st if I agree (this was on 12/26/2018). With this said, I decide to give 2-10 time, it's the 28th of December and still no call from 2-10 so I decided to call 2-10. 2-10 told me that they just received the recommendations from the contractor on 12/26/2018 and it's still under review. So again, I said ok and waited for 2-10.

    It's 01/03/2019 and still no call from 2-10. So, I picked up the phone and called 2-10, agent that answered said they called my home twice on the 26th and 28th and left message. I've been home since 12/23/2018 and we did not receive any phone call nor message from 2-10. Now, they are telling me that my share cost is $1,020 which I have to agree to and their cost is $441 for parts and labor. They also said that if I don't agree they can pay me the buyout amount of $441. I asked how about the damaged from the previous contractor that they sent out in 2009. Guess what? 2-10 supervisor said to me "that's why we are replacing and giving you a brand new furnace".

    This is very unprofessional on how 2-10 handle things and treat their customer. I do not recommend anyone to 2-10. I asked for the complaint resolution department information so I can write a complaint but the supervisor said they don't have a complaint department for customer to write to as she is the complaint resolution person.

    The new house I purchased came with a 2-10 home warranty. Within 6 weeks of living there my basement flooded. Within the first year I’ve had water damage in the basement from all windows & pipes. Both of my bathrooms were flooding the rooms, windows weren’t operating properly & my hvac system was banging upstairs & down. Before the year was up I filled out all of the necessary warranty paperwork. Since then I’ve gone to arbitration & won. The contractor was given 60 days to complete all work which he didn’t do. Not only that they created more damage. I called Patrick (my rep) to inform him of the work not being done & of the damage they did. He immediately calls them & has them call me to finish the work even though it was after the deadline & I specifically told him that I didn’t want these people in my home anymore because they were getting spiteful & sending the same 2 people who created the damage in the first place to fix it!

    I informed him that I wanted to move in to the next step & he told me to send him a list of incompleted work & he would call to discuss the next step. Since then I’ve left him numerous messages & when he finally answered he told me that he now was going to email me by the end of the week with the next steps I can take. Haven’t heard back since. He’s been dragging his feet for a year knowing full well that they’ve lied in the past on paperwork & have continued to be spiteful & cause more damage! He has given them more opportunities to fix the damage than they deserve. What is the purpose of having a warranty when the rep is as frustrating as the contractor?

    Bought a house in June 2018 and our broker recommended we go with 2-10 home warranty. When we moved into the house in Aug 2018, our 4 toilets started clogging. We called 2-10 to get fix them several times. We get charged $100 every visit in addition to whatever extra the plumbing company charges. The plumbing company mentioned that our toilets are the original toilets and due to wear and tear throughout the years has narrowed/roughened the pipes making it difficult for things to move through. The recommendation is to install new toilets. We contacted 2-10 to get information on coverage for new toilets. We were given the runaround.

    One 2-10 customer service rep said that they need to get a diagnosis from the plumbing company (LiveGreen) that they contracted stating that we need new toilets. Another said that we get new toilets and when asked what we're supposed to do with our clogged toilets, the rep said that we can submit another work request. And of course get charged $100 every time we do (at least once a week). After going back and forth with 2-10 on having them assist with getting new toilets (span of 2 months), we finally had to bite the bullet and pay out of our pocket $2100+ to change all 4 of our toilets via LiveGreen (the company that 2-10 contracts).

    We have not had any issues with our toilets since we changed them; however, we noticed water leaking around the Master Bathroom toilet (not sure if coming from the walls or from the toilet). The water actually seeped into the master bedroom wetting the carpet in the master bedroom. We chose not to call 2-10 because they will once again charge us $100. We called LiveGreen who came in and found that one of the pipes (phalange?) attached to the toilet is old and needed to be replaced. We paid for this to be done without involving 2-10 because it would take them over a week and another $100 to get a diagnosis (not to fix the problem but just a diagnosis).

    On 21 Dec 18, the area in the master bathroom is still leaking despite the phalange being replaced. I submitted a work order via 2-10 website on 26 Dec 18. 2-10 could not get a hold of LiveGreen to assess and therefore sent another plumbing company to assess the master bathroom. The plumber came on 29 Dec 18 and told us that there's nothing he can do and will need to contact LiveGreen. So, I was charged $100 to be told that the plumber could not do anything??? I called 2-10 today (2 Jan 19) to let them know what the plumber said and I was told that they cannot assist because they are waiting for a diagnosis. They offered to send the same plumber to the house again and will have to charge me another $100. Suffice it to say, my experience with 2-10 has been unpleasant and very time-consuming. The end-result always leads to us paying more money than if we didn't have the warranty. I will be canceling our 2 year warranty.

    2-10 was part of the deal when I bought the house. The sellers selected it as a home warranty and I have had it for a year and a half. Last year, when my dishwasher jacked up, the claims process went very smooth. However, this year, I called as something was going on with the furnace right around Thanksgiving. Their response took way too long and it took multiple calls from me for someone to even help me. Then, on a Friday evening, the guy that they finally found to come to fix my furnace was two hours away and no one notified me that the guy said no. I called back on Monday for 2-10 to realize that the guy was not the person to do it. So, I had to put in another claim for them to find somebody. I am right outside Chicago and it was about 12 degrees outside and I had no heat in my house since Friday. We called for the next guy but 2-10 could not get anybody to come.

    On Tuesday, they told me to find somebody and to submit everything and they would reimburse me. 2-10 should have called me back and asked me that Friday evening. They could have also looked and see if they could find somebody else and if not, they should have told me to get on the phone and try to find somebody that Friday evening as well and told me about the reimbursement. Nevertheless, I did it on Tuesday but the guys couldn’t get here until Wednesday before Thanksgiving and it took them 10 minutes to do it. Then, I had to submit all the paperwork but it confused me trying to find the right department to check up on how long it was gonna take me to get my money back. It was a hot mess and it nearly took a month and five weeks to get my money back. So, I probably would not renew with 2-10.

    It was awful having no heat in Chicago in the wintertime and there were so many people who were not sure what to do in situations like this when they did not have anyone available to come and help. 2-10 had to wait three more days for me to call them again to figure out what was going on. They are not trained properly or they do not have enough people under their umbrella. Both contractors I talked to never heard of them and 2-10 needs to expand and get more providers that can service areas where the customers are. The whole process was kinda jacked up because when I was trying to call, they did not know what department to get people speaking and they did not know what they were talking about.

    They also need to take care of the situation and take in consideration how serious the issue is. And that if they don't have anyone available, they need to give the customer all of the information and give them some suggestion on what they need to do right away. Moreover, their process needs to be fine-tuned and laid out for the customers step by step on what they need to do for the reimbursements. They told me there would be no problem in submitting the forms but they never told me how long it was gonna take in order to see my money back. They should have also told me the number that I can call to check my status. The only way I knew I would be able to get reimbursement is I asked for the information and it is very important especially if they cannot provide the service that I'm paying for. Overall, I had an awful experience with 2-10 and the whole process failed all the way through.

    The one time I submitted a claim, 2-10 couldn't find anyone to help me. They told me to go find my own person and submit my own claim and I just never went down that path to do it. I ended up fixing it myself. So, they weren't pretty much help at all. I don't live in that home anymore, but I still have it and pay for it, because even though my experience with them hasn't been phenomenal, having it gives a certain level of peace of mind.

    Original Review: Dec. 29, 2018

    On Thursday I had a HVAC provider come out as referred by 2-10 because the heating unit stop heating, he seeming inspected the unit and subsequent collected the service charge and said upon leaving he would submit the info to 2-10 which they ordered the parts and upon receipt of the parts he would return for the repair, well then came Friday, 2-10 denied the claim, stated it was preexisting, it wasn’t. So I called the contractor, asked if he stated it was preexisting, well wouldn’t you know the 2-10 scam unfolding already, he stated in his text message that he told 2-10, it just went out, not preexisting.

    Now here we go with the coordinated scam with contractors and this 2-10 warranty company. So I asked the contractor how much it would cost if he privately performed, he couldn’t tell me because he didn’t know the model or serial number of the unit and stated he never got it. So how is 2-10 suppose to order parts for the furnace unit, which I didn’t provide them and deny a claim without knowing what kind of unit. Secondly 2-10 must have forgot to tell the contractor to tell the same preexisting lie they told, we knew something was suspect when the company presented themselves as a company but wanted payment by check or cash in their own name not the company. 2-10 this is a claim from **, you made the unfortunate mistake of lying to counsel working for a entity responsible for holding entities accountable for truth in service delivery, you lied, the contractor obviously a scam, and now you will be held accountable.

    We recently moved into a home that came with a 2-10 home warranty provided by the previous owner. Three months after moving in we noticed a problem with the HVAC unit, it was June in Arizona so AC was critical... We contacted 2-10 and they sent someone out who said there was a leak in the unit that needed repaired. He said he would submit the claim to 2-10 and would then follow up.

    A few weeks later I got a voicemail from 2-10 saying they had approved the claim... however the contractor never followed up nor returned my calls. I called 2-10 who also could not reach the contractor. In the meantime I had a local plumber come and put freon in so at least we could survive the heat. 2-10 then sent another contractor over who said since the unit was working there was nothing he could do. I have given up... we are going to get a new unit installed by a reputable contractor and will obviously not renew our contract with 2-10.

    I've been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a few years now and the only issue that we had was when we had an issue with our heating unit which was a hassle. The first people that they sent out said that there was an issue and they botched the job.

Then, I downloaded the app to submit my second claim online. Both processes were easy to do but the easier one is the app. As far as the techs they sent out, I had good and bad experiences with them.

    Called 2-10 Home Warranty for service on my garage door opener. The 2-10 Home Warranty dispatched dishonest service provider, Vintage Garage Door Services. Website https://www.vintagegarageservices.com/. This service provider has zero integrity and honesty. Right of the bat, the technician tried extorted additional maintenance fee before began the warranty works. Please note that the garage door is in the good shape and it does not require additional maintenance. After I paid, the technician replaced the circuit board, which is the only issued need to be addressed. After replacing the circuit board, the technician asked for more money, this time is related to the motor.

    Please note that nothing wrong with the motor. I called 2-10 to complain. 2-10 dispatched new service provider (Real Garage Door Services), who actually made the right diagnosis, however 2-10 decided to side with the dishonest first company (Vintage Garage Door Services). The garage door opener just need new circuit board. Vintage Garage Door Services tried to extort more money by making bogus claim. I called 2-10 again to complain again and instead I had to deal with rude Customer Service Supervisor, name Trinka (employee **), instead try to help the customer, she blindly took the dishonest diagnosis from Vintage Garage Door Services.

    I requested to talk to their authorization department and she made a claim that she is the highest ranking employee who deal with customer, which obviously a lie. I tried to file complain and she told me the only way to file a complain is to send certified letter to corporate office and 2-10 has no specific customer relationship department. There are 2 more lies those she made.

    Before you do business with 2-10 Home Warranty, please remember these 2 things: They will side with dishonest service provider if they gain benefit from it.

    They have employee that is rude and casually lie to their customer. I ended up paying the repair out of my pocket, since 2-10 Home Warranty refuse to work with me further.

    When I submitted my claims with 2-10, they had somebody out to my house within a day or two. Then I paid them the deductible and the rest was taken care of. My interactions with their reps over the phone were very good and the techs they sent out seemed efficient. For my last claim, I researched about my washing machine, got the model name and number of the washer, and got the part number needed to fix it. Then I told them that when I called for it.

    But when the guy showed up the next day, he said that we needed the part. I told him that that was why I looked it up and gave them the part number, then he said that he had to order the part and that it would be here on Monday. So, that kinda pissed me off because he thought just because I was a woman, I wasn't capable of doing that. But I took the time to find out what was wrong and I found out the part number. So, I was disregarded. But that was the only time that ever happened. Other than that, I'd recommend 2-10 to other people. I like the service and I like having it.

    I have had coverage with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for about six months. I had a problem with my roof and I tried to submit a claim. After I submitted the request, someone from 2-10 called me and said that none of their practitioners and other contractors they typically work with or they would’ve referred to had time to address the issue. So, they encouraged me to get my own opinion from a qualified contractor and have that person work with them. I went about doing that and in the end, the decision was made that we would get a new roof instead of trying to fix the leaks. I didn’t ultimately end up filing a claim because I didn’t see how that was going to work.

    The staff at 2-10 was polite and professional. I had another warranty company on a previous home and they never contacted me of their volition about anything to let me know there would be a delay, so I give 2-10 some credit for that. I found their literature to be informative and detailed about what’s covered and what isn’t, although their website interface could be a little more convenient. Sometimes, I have trouble finding the homeowners’ section. They need to have realtors, contractors, and homeowners access their website, and sometimes it is tough to find where to log in as a homeowner particularly on the mobile site.

    Although I was disappointed that their practitioner couldn’t meet our needs, I am satisfied with 2-10. I also understand that from calling around to other contractors that a lot of roofers were very busy at that time, so I don’t hold it against them too much. At the same time, part of the reason you have a warranty isn’t just for the financial coverage, but so that the problem can be addressed relatively quickly, but they couldn’t with that instance.

I had to put in a request through 2-10 to no longer work with that plumbing agency because they've caused us over $20,000 in repairs in the past year, and we had to move out of our house. They came out to our house over the course of about a year for different things, between the AC and the heating.

    My water heater went out Saturday, 22 December. I contacted 2-10 warranty and was told they passed my service request to a plumbing service 80 miles from my house. Knowing it was the holidays, I called that plumber several times, but got no response. I then found a plumber who was local to come out and install my new water heater. 2-10 said they would only pay 72$ for the labor, which came out to be less than half the cost of the job. The original contractor they called is yet to respond, but I am going to get a labor estimate from him, and proceed to a lawsuit.

    We had a leak from an upstairs toilet that broke that did a substantial amount of damage to our downstairs ceiling. I had my own contractor call and we got an authorization number. The work was completed and cost over a thousand dollars to repair. I submitted my invoices and was told none of the damage was covered because it was consequential damage.

    Ok, I read the very small print in their contract and I can understand that. So after talking with several different reps on the phone, I re-submit paperwork for the cost of one toilet that initially broke and caused the damage as well as the cost to install the toilet. 2-10 denied that claim as well saying that when we received the initial authorization number, it was for a broken pipe. It is a game of semantics with these people and clearly they will do everything they can to deny a claim. My claim went from over a thousand to less than three hundred and they still will not honor the repair!

    I was told on the phone that each item replaced has to have an authorization number. Where is the logic in this? A claim should be approved based on a single event. I can understand the consequential damage part, but to not honor the claim because they are saying no mention was made of the broken toilet initially? Utterly ridiculous. That is the very cause of all the damage. It is all tied to a single claim number and it should be tied to a single authorization number. I recommend you save the money you would pay for this warranty through 2-10 and use that for any repairs you may have. Dealing with this company has been an absolute nightmare and I have spent the better part of three months trying to file my claim successfully. Stay far, far away!

    My wife and I noticed a spot on the ceiling of our kitchen. Upon investigating it, we saw mold growing on it. I called 2-10 and set an appointment with a plumber. When the plumber got to my house, he looked at the system for about 5-10 minutes before he told me it was an HVAC issue. He collected my deductible before promptly leaving. I called 2-10 and they set an appointment with an HVAC company. The HVAC guys told me it was definitely a plumbing issue. Again, I called 2-10 to set another appointment. Keep in mind that I’m leaving work every time and losing money to come home. The plumber that showed up said that he was absolutely positive that it was HVAC. I sat on my front porch with him while he called 2-10 and reported his findings. I was told by 2-10 that they would send someone else out.

    I knew that my warranty was due to expire in about a month but didn’t want to renew it due to the service I had received thus far. I received a voicemail from them asking if I wanted to renew the policy as it had expired before they sent another HVAC guy out. I vented my frustration and was told there was nothing they could do because it had expired and that my money was non-refundable from the deductible. The woman I spoke to gave me a patronizing speech about how much it costs their organization to send these people out.

    She said she was at the highest level of supervisor that I would be able to talk to and that I’m SOL and won’t get my money back. She also said that someone put notes in the system that said I had hung up on the person who called me. That definitely never happened. Then, she had the nerve to ask me to renew. I’m calling my mortgage broker and telling him to spread the word about the malfeasance this organization commits. DON’T USE THESE PEOPLE. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.

He said they would need to be sent for rebuilt. About a week he said. That was over 3 weeks ago.

Last time, the heating system has something that was bad in it. I submitted a claim to 2-10 and Aire Care Mechanical people came out the next day. They have been really nice and professional. They had to fix the switch and they wound up having to replace the thermostat. The first visit didn’t fix the problem. I called them back a couple of days later, over Thanksgiving, and they came back out and took care of it. It took about a week to get it fixed but it only took a couple of days before they arrived.

I immediately filed my claim, and still have no resolution to the issue. They claim that they cannot find a contractor to come look at it, and since I cannot either, their only option is to refund me the price of the home warranty and cancel it! You would think that they would only sell home warranties where they can service. You would think that if they cannot get it fixed that they would replace it.

    This is my first experience with them, and I am extremely disappointed. I felt embarrassed for the girl that had to even offer me the refund of the warranty price (their customer service has actually been quite pleasant, even when I’m on the verge of losing my cool in this situation).

All could have been prevented if 2-10 had sent an authorized Carrier dealer because during the parade of unqualified contractors our system was still under warranty with the manufacturer. However it is now no longer under warranty and will cost about $4,000 to repair which 2-10 says I must lay out the money to repair a system that is over 10 years old and no longer under warranty and they will reimburse us an undisclosed amount.

    When I submit claims with 2-10, I either call or go through the internet, although doing it online is easier. The contractors that came out before sucked. When the furnace went out, they put in a thermostat but the repair guy forgot to put the screws back on the front panel. I was watching him and I said something to him. But other than that, the service within itself, like being done and the furnace actually working, it was fine. The contractor came back out again, but it was the air conditioning unit that went out and it was more drawn out. It took forever for it to finally get installed. My wife did a lot of groundwork, which was very irritating with me because I told the contractor that that piece of equipment was sitting on their property and they had no clue it was sitting out there, and they finally looked. There was a lot of static. I don’t think that the customer should have to do the legwork for 2-10. Nevertheless, they were able to fix the air conditioning unit.

    However, my biggest complaint with 2-10 is that they cover a certain thing, but then they don’t have people in our area to actually service our equipment. They will have to go out to try to find people to come and do the service, and then go and get a contractor, and then paying out of pocket. The rep talked about how 2-10 would reimburse us. But then, what’s the point of having the home buyers warranty for the stuff that we have insured. For instance, this last time, the water heater went out, but 2-10 had nobody that would service that in our area. If they have the heating warranty and I'm paying for that, they should have someone in my area to service that. I would rather pay the $100 just so I don’t have to look around. If they were transparent in saying that they cover these things, but they don’t have anybody that would do the service in my area, they would probably lose a lot of customers in general.

    Overall, from the actual putting in a claim, 2-10 is good about getting back with me and saying that I will either be receiving a phone call or they will send me an email. However, the communication between the two parties could have been a lot clearer. Just being clear with the services that are available in our area, and that they actually have people that could do the service, would be huge. That way, we would know whether we want to invest our money in a warranty that’s worth doing.

    I had a year of 2-10 coverage included in the house that I bought, and then I put the same coverage on three more properties that I have out there. I would sometimes call 2-10 to submit claims or just do it online. Both ways have been reasonable and user-friendly. If it’s on the weekend, most of the time, I would just do it online. When I call on the phone, they’re very responsive. I could email, follow-up, or if I do it online, it’s pretty easy.

    All of the contractors that they've sent out were very good. We had one most recently for our refrigerator, and it was problematic. But for the most part, the contractors that came out usually resolved issues the first time around. 2-10’s coverage is good as long as the premium could stay relatively competitive. I have four houses in Arizona, all covered by 2-10, and I’m paying a good amount of money for premium. I was contacted by another warranty company trying to get the business. I’m up for renewal in March and I have to do some homework on them but thus far, I would continue using 2-10 on the four houses. It’s definitely good.

    Submitting a claim to 2-10 was not very easy. It would be better if you could talk to somebody directly, and 2-10 should make it easier for people to navigate through the website if they want to file a claim online. Some of the technicians they send out are good and some are average. I would not recommend 2-10. I think they’re a scam. They just get people to pay them and then they deny the claims. Every time they send someone out, you have to pay a deductible of $100. That’s insane. I can get any plumber or any electrician to my residence and pay them $100 for their trip. Why would I pay 2-10 $100 and then when the contractor comes, they do not cover the claim? And then I would ask them to come here again, but you have to pay them again. That’s a joke.

    Trust me, words cannot describe how upset I have been with this company. I never write reviews and I tend to keep my opinions to myself. In hope of helping others here we go. For all the money I pay this company for protection, when something breaks, they send out the slowest and clueless contractors I have ever seen. It took 3 months for me to get my AC fixed. I live in Texas and I had to finally find my own contractor pay out of pocket and then wait for a check from them. My fridge went out and it took a 9 days for a contractor to come out. 9 days is way too long to wait for a service contractor. They need to expand their contractor pool but they can't because everyone I spoke to told me that they won't work with this company because they have poor practices. Stay away from this company. I just switched my warranty.

    Initiated my claim in October for my HVAC, no working heat. Took two weeks to get the contractor to show up. He came and said he didn't know how to fix it. Nov 9th second contractor was sent who didn't even check the heating system and said it was plumbing. November 12th plumber came, tested the system and said nothing wrong with plumbing its HVAC. Received call on the 13th from April who said it would get fixed and new HVAC contractor was coming 15th. Contractor showed up on the 15th, tested the system and said pump was bad. Called 2-10 on the 19th to see what the next step was and they said they were never contacted by the contractor. They contacted him and were told a part was being ordered. 2-10 ordered the part which arrived on the 30th.

    Called 2-10 on 12/3 to follow up and was directed to call the contractor. Called them and they scheduled for 12/5, which nobody showed up for. They showed up on 12/6 replaced the pump and said it was fixed although it wasn’t. On 12/7 informed 2-10 that the heat still wasn’t working. Informed them that the contractor wouldn’t come back out. They called the contractor and the 2-10 rep said they were told it was a plumbing issue. 2-10 rep said they couldn't find anyone else to look at it and I need to get my own contractor and pay out of pocket and they would reimburse the amount their contractors would have charged if approved.

    Spoke to Devin, purchasing department who said they would not do anything else until my contractor gave them a diagnosis. Asked if I could just be cashed out so I could replace the heating system and she said no because the contractors say they don’t know how to fix it not that it's unfixable. They sent 5 separate contractors, none of which knew what the problem was, everyone had a different diagnosis, and I've been without heat all winter with 4 kids. 2-10 was paid in full at the purchase of my home. I don't understand why I'm having to pay out of pocket if I have a warranty that is supposed to cover my repairs? What's the point in the warranty?

    Every time I speak to someone I have to explain my situation, there is no continuity. There is no resolution. The representatives are not knowledgeable of the issues. Today inessential told that they couldn't find my case, my two month long unresolved case. The manager had no resolution. I asked for them to send another plumber and now they are saying the contractor said it's not plumbing. They just don't know how to fix it. This is the most unhelpful company I have ever dealt with. Total waste of money. I just want heat for my kids when its 30 degrees outside.

    I arrived home this evening with my toddler and infant to find that our furnace isn't working. It is 26 degrees outside. According to 2-10, this does not constitute an emergency and the assigned contractor has 24 hours to contact me and 3-5 days to perform service. Additionally, they assigned a contractor outside of the service area. Thankfully he responded to my call and I was able to call 2-10 back (terrible user experience) to have them reassign a contractor, or we could have added a day to the timeline.

    NOT HAPPY! I didn't write a review the first time I had a bad experience, so I apologize to all those people that make purchase decisions based off reviews. My first experience with 2-10 was when I attempted to do my once a year tune-up. It took three attempts and a week of time to be told to find someone myself. Now they are giving me a hard time about the reimbursement of a whopping $35.89.

    Now, just over a month later, my furnace has stopped working. So I called up 2-10 because you people do not want to go through the website, trust me. I told Sandra (a 2-10 representative) about my first experience, AKA work order **. I was then told that she had no authorization number. Whatever, at this point I will just eat the $35.89.

    As far as my current issue, two hours after my conversation with Sandra, I still have not heard from the repair person. I still have no heat. But what can I expect? Sandra did tell me that my state is not in a "state of emergency", even though my town's mayor and NC's governor Roy Cooper say otherwise, but hey, why would 16 inches of snow and 14 degree weather make anyone think "heat" would be important? On a personal note, I never knew a toilet seat could be so cold... in laws, we are packing up for a visit now.

    I’m a Realtor and I recommended 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to Joshua when I sold him his house years ago. He got the warranty but we both file the claims. I usually do it by phone, and my experience has been good. They normally dispatch within 24 hours, but we don’t hear anything from the vendor for about 48 hours or longer as the vendors are busy. We’ve had to contact 2-10 back to have them reach out again a couple of times on a couple of vendors. A couple of times, we had to change vendors because they never reached out and 2-10 was pretty flexible with that. The technicians that came out were always professional.

    The problem I have with 2-10 is some of the vendors that they use are not being prompt. There is one other thing I need to make a comment on and it’s not just 2-10, it seems to be the makeup of home warranty companies. They wanna get three and four opinions after they have gotten two to say that something needs to be replaced. They seem to stretch it out longer. I have another client that has 2-10 and she ended up waiting almost four months to get a refrigerator. That wasn’t working. So, that put her in a financial pinch by having to purchase food every day ‘cause she couldn’t refrigerate. Joshua went through that too on one of his claims on some plumbing work. It’s a little ridiculous when clients are paying a fee every month to make them have to wait to get three or four opinions when 2-10 has already gotten two opinions that say the same thing. It’s a waste of time when it could be getting fixed.

    Although some of the techs are very good, I looked up a contractor once and it had a bad reputation so I canceled altogether and paid for the repair myself. Another contractor has been somewhat disinterested in dealing with the problem and pushing the work back on to me. Another thing is that when I submitted a service request online and the contract renewed, I no longer had access to the service request and I could only deal with it over the phone. I also have a claim in for my microwave that died. 2-10 offered a monetary value to replace it and it doesn’t even cover the cost of the trim, never mind the microwave.

    I had a hot water issue and I called 2-10 Home Buyers to submit a claim. Their representative was very informative and very helpful. But the person that they had to send out to do the service, Drain Openers in Winston Salem, was not a good service. The only thing he did was to come in and look at the hot water heater. He told me that he couldn’t do it because the hot water heater was too large and he would have an access problem. But when I went and measured the water heater, it was a perfect fit. So, that was the only thing he did and charged he me $100.

    After that, I contacted 2-10 again because I was trying to determine whether or not they were going to honor the warranty and they did. But they contracted with him to do it and he said that he wouldn't pick up the heater or the equipment. He said that the equipment needed to be delivered to him. So, working with him and working with the company took about three or four weeks before I got my issue resolved. I went back and forth with them and the length of time that it took me to get it resolved was a bad experience.

    I had a really negative experience with a plumber that 2-10 sent out. It was rectified, but it caused a lot of stress. The plumber was supposed to fix certain things and he didn’t want to do it. He just made up stuff, like he said that I’ve thrown away parts and that I had to finally work on it because we just turned the water off so that it wasn’t wasting so much water. Then, when I was talking to the home warranty person about it, she was telling me all these things that the plumber has said on the phone with them. I told them that none of those are accurate.

    I asked the plumber to tell 2-10 that the parts were here. He just yelled at me and left. I told him that I’m not gonna pay him for coming to my house, yelling at me, lying, and trying to void my warranty. Then, he yelled at me again. 2-10 sent in a different plumbing company out that had a master plumber who knew what he was doing. But I had to argue a lot and I spent a long time trying to get the issue fixed. Other than that, the quality of work done by the contractors that 2-10 usually sends out was good.

    On 11/07 I noticed water spots in the ceiling of my bedroom which grew bigger very quickly. Went online and created a work order for a plumber. They assigned a company, which I had to call to get a service date of 11/12. Needless to say 3 days later the wet part of the ceiling fell and water was dripping from the ceiling. Called an emergency plumber out who located the source of the leak with a camera, fixed the leak which came from the bathroom above. He rerouted hot and cold lines for sink, sent his sheetrock guy to repair ceiling; total cost 785.00. Claim submitted with invoice and this is where it gets interesting.

    Work order **: invoice SUBMITTED with pictures of collapsed ceiling and repairs in progress. Received request for copy of check issued to contractor. SUBMITTED. Another request for invoice. SUBMITTED. Request for contractor to call 2-10 to describe repair. HE CALLED. Still need more details of work — was it a concealed leak (pics already submitted with invoice and description), what size holes were drilled. Contractor needs to call us and explain.

    We all know the wait involved when you call 2-10. So, after the contractor called and spoke with Hannah, he has indicated he doesn’t have the time to sit and hold a line again to go over what he previously said. It’s now 12/02. No reimbursement to date. Here are the names of some of the reps: Mariah, Hannah, Kimberly. The latter asked me if the holes were 3’x3’ or 4’x4’. I had to ask her if she knew what she was talking about. Per one of the previous complaints, the warranty came with the purchase of the house. It has turned out to be a nightmare. My husband and I are retired and stuck with 785.00 bill with, apparently no resolve.

    Original Review: Dec. 2, 2018

    We purchased our home in August of 2018 and, on the advice of our realtor, added a warranty through 2-10 to make unexpected repairs easier. On October 21, we placed a service request for our heating system and were told we would hear from a contractor within 24 hours. I called on October 26 to talk to customer service because we had heard nothing. I was told that the contractor assigned said he was too busy. The customer service rep stated that they would continue looking and contact us as soon as possible.

    On October 29, 2-10 called my husband and said they could not find an in-network contractor and advised us to find our own. They stated that we would need a licensed contractor to send a copy of their findings along with an itemized list of costs to be approved before repairs could be authorized. We found a contractor, paid $100 to have them diagnose the problem, and sent the info to 2-10. We were told that it was “approved” and would be reimbursed.

    Several days later, we called back to check on the progress of the reimbursement and were told that it had in fact *not* been approved. Customer service stated that they would forward the information on to the correct person and have it “approved.” Days later, we again received confirmation that the repair was “approved,” and we would be reimbursed for the cost of the repair minus the $75 we would have paid for the tech to come to our house in the first place. (Of course, this didn’t take into account that we had already paid $100 for the initial diagnostic visit, which would not be reimbursed.) The representative told my husband that the check would be in the mail. This was in early November.

    Last week (end of November), we called to ask about the reimbursement check. 2-10 then told us that we would not be receiving a check because, although the file stated that the cost was “approved,” customer care “was not able to make those kinds of statements.” The final approval and reimbursement could only come after the repair was completed and the bill sent to 2-10.

    In case this long and convoluted story has confused you as much as it has befuddled us, let me add a brief synopsis along with our current dilemma: We were asked to find our own contractor, pay the rate for diagnosis, and ask for a detailed breakdown of the cost; We were told on three separate occasions that the reimbursement was “approved.” Twice they turned around and told us that unfortunately it was not in fact approved; and They now want us to pay for the entire repair, mail them the bill (already paid by us), and wait to hear if it is actually, truly “approved.”

    Also, this process was only necessary because: Our heat was broken in the fall, and remains broken over a month later with winter approaching; and they couldn’t find anyone in their network. This became our problem to solve. This week, we will pay the full price to have our heat repaired. I fear 2-10 will continue to find a way not to pay for what they have “approved.” And they will continue to wait for someone else (us) to deliver on their promises. My advice would be to shop around for other home warranties or just skip it altogether. It is not worth the headache, and you will likely end up paying for everything anyway. If I could get our money back and cancel the plan, I would do it in an instant. It is now December 1.

    2-10's customer service was good. I had their number saved in my phone and I would normally call when I submit claims. Sometimes, there were problems with the automated service so it wouldn’t understand what I was saying. It was not very user-friendly so the claims process worked better if I got somebody on the phone. Also, their contractor tried to repair something which really needed to be replaced and it broke down again right away. I had to call them back because they didn't fix it properly.

    I had 2-10 warranty for almost two years but I cancelled because they were gonna raise the price. I would have gotten them again had my rates not been raised. I like that if the claim was a repeat, I wouldn’t have to pay the visit again. However, they raised my rates because I had to do a couple of call backs which made it look like I had so many claims. They ought to take into consideration if it was a repeat issue. Raising my rate was fine though as long as they fix the item.

    In June 2015 2-10 Warranty company sent out Zeller Contracting to replace a hot water heater. In St. Louis County, Missouri it is required that a plumber/contractor pay for and pull a permit for the replacement of a hot water heater. Zeller Contracting, according to St. Louis County Government, never pulled and paid for a permit. Being the homeowner, I had no knowledge at that time that a permit was required and that it was never pulled and paid for. Just recently (Nov. 2018) we decided to rent out that house.

    A re-occupancy inspection is required by St. Louis County Government before any new occupants/renters can move in. Upon that inspection is when we learned that Zeller Contracting never pulled and paid for a permit that was needed in June 2015. After many phone calls to Zeller Contracting to get them to pull a new permit for this old job, Zeller Contracting will no longer answer my phone calls. I have also called 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, who sent out Zeller Contracting and they also refuse to be of any help.

    2-10, I believe, has a duty of responsibility to make sure that the plumbers/contractors they send out are reputable companies that will not only correct the situation but will also follow the permit requirements of the local government. At this point, if Zeller Contracting will not do the right thing and pay for the new permit, then I believe 2-10 should step up and pay for a new permit and also pay for any other expenses we might incur regarding this debacle.

The customer service reps have been fine, and the contractors were very nice and professional. I never had a problem with anybody that came out here to fix anything.

    I’ve had 2-10 for over a decade and this is my second house with them. Their price is good and they're good at responding once they send somebody out for our needs. However, it's hard to get someone on the phone. They have the automated thing online to do calls, but sometimes I need to talk to somebody and it's impossible to use their system. There's no phone number on the website. I have to do a Google search just to find the number, every time. It's a hassle trying to get someone on the line. I always have to call in as a contractor. The only problem that I’ve had recently was our refrigerator, which finally went out. It was hard for them to find a contractor. They went through eight contractors trying to find someone to work on it. After that, they were like, “You find a contractor, and we’ll pay for it.” There was an issue with repayment, but I should have it back and it’s all good. I love them and I recommend them all the time.

    I dealt with 2-10 on three or four occurrences, and everything’s been cool. Everybody there has been quite helpful, but I’ve had contractors call and tell me they're on their way and not show up for three days. They show up out of the blue. I wasn’t even expecting the last one. I was standing at my door, watching the dog pee, when he pulled up in the damn driveway. From my understanding, there are only two people that 2-10 can call for appliances in my area and they suck. They were both the same company but they parted ways. One aspect of the company is extremely slow on whatever they do. I’m still waiting on my refrigerator, nine days later, to be fixed. The other one is unaccountable. I can’t count on them for anything. I’m still waiting on my dishwasher, from five weeks ago, to be fixed.

    It’s been pitiful. I’ve talked to 20 people the past three weeks and they are really friendly and on top of trying to make it right with me. I am still in contact with 2-10 to assure that things are being taken care of properly. I appreciate that, but I keep getting the same response. They tell me that these contractors are the only people they have in our area, or they tell me to get somebody else, pay the full price, and maybe, they'll pay me back.

    I went to the 2-10 website and it doesn’t give you enough choices. There are three buttons to click on, and I needed to talk to someone to ask what happened. I had to call numerous times and at one point, they called me to get an approval. They told me that as soon as the approval is done, the order will be waited on. I waited a week, called back and they acted like they forgot to order the part. I had to wait another week before the parts came in. Afterwards, they immediately called and it took about a month to get my AC replaced. All in all, trying to set up a claim with 2-10 is a little confusing, but they're worth looking at.

    Was told that my oven repair would mean that I would be without an oven for two weeks while they sent the motherboard off to be refurbished. If that wasn't bad enough I was then told that I would NOT be able to use any part of the stove. Could you be without a stove for 2 weeks? I'm just not able to do that so I was put through to the repair buyout department where I was informed that I would be eligible for literally half of what an employee had just told me I would qualify for and that did not include the cost of labor to make this repair. I would not recommend this company. Would have been different if they had tried to be fair with the buyout.

    We purchased a property in August of 2018, and lo and behold we were blessed with a home warranty from our seller! Yippee! Home warranties are great unless you need them! We are in the process of renovating the home before we move in, and on several occasions I noticed the downstairs AC Unit "Hard Starting" during the summer. The unit was however functioning and cooling the house. Fast forward to yesterday 11/27/18. After placing a work order request with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, I met their service tech out at the property.

    The first thing we noticed was that the outside unit had frozen up. Issue No.1. As this had not happened before, next the Tech went up to the attic to check on the indoor air handler. Ironically, as this seems to be a common diagnosis. (Hmm... Easy to diagnose and then push the tech to state "pre-existing".) The tech told me that the upstairs unit had a leaking coil (this caused the outdoor unit to freeze up) and that it would be covered and we would be "All taken care of". Absolutely not! Today I received a call that our claim was denied. That the leak was pre-existing and no coverage would be applied.

    What an absolute joke - I paid $100 to have a technician younger than me come out and tell me I had a leak and it should be covered only to have 2-10 call me and tell me the tech told them something opposite ie..."pre-existing". Again, unless the technician entered the property prior to me taking ownership and the seller purchasing the home warranty, and inspected the air handler in the attic for the downstairs condenser unit...and found a leak at that time; there is absolutely NO WAY that he or 2-10 Home Warranty can say with 100% absolute certainty that a leaking condenser coil was pre-existing.

    In my opinion this seems very subjective, a home warranty should not be issued with a $500+ premium charged to the seller unless the warranty company is going to honor the warranty for the buyer. It would appear that a savvy warranty company that did not want to cover anything could claim nearly all failures of covered systems in the new owner's house were due to "pre-existing" conditions. Not to mention, as the new homeowner we are stuck paying $100 dollars a pop to get this reply. Seems like this company is not interested in taking care of the homeowner - only the bottom line.

    2-10 has a very good website. I've filed a claim five times online and my first time was for a dishwasher that quit working. I took the appliance replacement option where they give money, and despite my explicit instructions, they mailed the check to the wrong place and there was a delay in getting that. The other claims were for HVAC problems, and while 2-10 handled them fine, I was upset with their unwillingness to provide emergency service. I had the furnace out. It was below freezing outside and apparently, that did not constitute an emergency such that they would schedule somebody for Thanksgiving Day. I talked to someone who said the governor has to declare a state of emergency and in my mind, that’s absurd. Also, the contractor had to come out twice to fix the furnace and they should have caught the whole problem the first time.

    I had a rough experience with 2-10 Home Buyers. I had to pay twice extra money now because they gave me permission to get independent contractors to come out and look at all my items that were on my list, which was a pretty long list. After they had me hire people, they then called and scheduled appointments with their people. So I asked why they made me pay and call these people to come out if they were gonna turn around and hire other people. They did it to me numerous times and told me that they would extend my contract so that I could get everything done.

    This one gentleman came, and he did a really thorough inspection. He specifically went over everything and told me what he found. He was very good at explaining things and was informative. I know very well he turned everything to 2-10. But 2-10 turned around and said, “Oh, no, he didn’t turn anything in.” They made me call him again and they couldn't get him because he was on a call when they tried calling him. So, he was more than willing to talk to them and explain it. It was just pretty embarrassing and upsetting to me because I paid him to come out and do all his inspection. But then he got fed up and said, “That’s why I don’t like dealing with home warranties.” He felt like his time was being wasted by them. So then he pretty much blew me off after that because he was getting the runaround from them. He got frustrated and I got the unfortunate receiving end of it.

    And then I still had another whole group of people after. I’m really traumatized, especially since I’ve been patient and because I had to pay several times for these different people to come out and look at my HVAC when it went out. Before that it was 100 degrees, and I didn’t have any air. They said to me, “Oh, well. Till you get it professional cleaned, we’re not gonna send another guy,” even though it still wasn’t functioning properly. I’m like “Woah, wait a minute." I bought a new house. Everything was supposed to be completely renovated and then I was told that the HVAC was in perfect condition. But now because they stalled for so long, there’s moisture in my attic -- that wouldn’t have been there -- from extreme temperatures.

    When one of the guys from Lee Company came out, he told me that one of the issues that ended up happening was that the psi for the water pressure was incorrectly set. And because it was incorrectly set or not performing properly, I had to pay $350 alone just for that in order to have new plumbing put in. That was misdiagnosed by three plumbers, as was the issue with the HVAC. And the HVAC needed a new compressor, and it was totally misdiagnosed twice. Not only am I traumatized, but I have medical issues. It’s pretty serious. One is with the heart. Now, I have a clot. Several times I had to rearrange my whole medical schedule or race home from appointments on numerous occasions in order to have different inspectors come, which is incredibly inconvenient.

    I talked to a supervisor in that department, Omar, and then I talked to a woman whose name was Rosemary who was with customer relations. But when I tried presenting all my documents to both of them, they blew me off. I kept calling Omar and emailing Rosemary numerous times. I was beside myself and wasn’t sleeping at night because I’m so stressed.

    Finally, after two and a half months, which by then, my warranty expired, even though they said they would extend it, I got a phone call out of the blue last week when I was driving en route to go see my parents. I was almost there after a grueling 16-hour shift that was supposed to be 10 and they said, “Since you’re not in front of your computer and you can’t give us each individual claim number, we’ll call you the day after Thanksgiving. And if we don’t call you the day after Thanksgiving, then we’ll call you Monday.” They didn’t call me back either. I can’t even tell how many times I’ve reached out. So, it’s like I finally felt hopeful like “Oh, good. Thank God they’re gonna take care of some of the stuff.” And they blew me off again.

    I’m feeling pretty scared because I’m a single female in not the best of neighborhoods. A couple times, I’ve leaned on neighbors, but they always had a handout. I really don’t want anybody who doesn’t know what they’re doing. 2-10 makes a lot of promises, but then they don’t follow through. I’m extremely dissatisfied because I just lost a fortune and I don’t have resolutions.

    Our furnace cracked and required replacement. The replacement was covered by our policy, despite still requiring almost $2k in additional out-of-pocket costs (which makes little sense to me, but I have no choice given it is winter in Michigan and we have an infant child and no heat). I was told there would be a “rush/emergency” order on a replacement and they would be in touch daily with updates. It is now 10 days later, I have reached out several times, along with the contractor company who is waiting on 2-10 for a response as to when this furnace will be available.

    2-10 has not contacted me once. We still are without heat and had to cancel our Thanksgiving we intended to host at our house due to the lack of heat. This process has been a disaster, and at the worst possible time. To make matters worse, the contractor that 2-10 has contracted with to replace the furnace has also expressed the same frustration with 2-10 in this process. I hope my situation is a rare exception to their standards as I have heard great things - but I’m incredibly disappointed at their handling of this.

I just call up and tell them what my problem is and they get back to me within a couple of hours, if not, they do it the next day. The people there in the organization are very good.

The last time I had a claim was on my washing machine. The contractor took the whole thing apart and they found the sock. They didn't find that sock originally. It was disintegrated, and it was causing the problem.

    The contractors that they've sent have been very good. They were excellent and I've had no problem with everyone that has come to my home. If they couldn't fix it, they would come back later. If I had a problem, I called them back up and they would be back, and they would resolve my problem with no sweat. They are nice and capable people.

    Submitting claims with 2-10 is easy. We usually do it via phone call and in 24 hours we would get contractors at home. However, my husband and I are talking about looking at other warranties because 2-10 is giving me a runaround on our air conditioner. The unit has broken down multiple times and we've talked to them about replacing it but they won't replace it. They had one air conditioner company come out about four times but couldn't fix it, and then the contractor got mad at me and said that they don't wanna come out here anymore. I told them that it is 2-10 that keeps sending them out here and not me. They said they are going to tell 2-10 that they are not coming out here anymore because they don't know what's wrong with my air conditioner.

    And so, 2-10 got another company, who also had to come out four times, and fixed it temporarily. Then, I think it just got cold enough where we didn't need our air conditioner anymore but I have a feeling it's still broken. This is a typical experience that we're having and I feel like things are covered and then when it comes down to it, 2-10 would say they're not covered.

    When I was shopping for a home protection plan 2-10 was the first one that was properly rated on the internet. Their reps are always very pleasant and with the three claims that we put in, everybody was very helpful, very nice to work with and was on time. So that’s pretty awesome. It didn’t take long for them to answer the phone and give me all the information I needed, and then also to follow up to see how everything went. I will definitely refer them.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT spend money on such a worthless company. They will come up with any excuse not to cover your issues, AFTER you pay the $100 service charge. They have horrible customer service; the individuals we talked to in dealing with our issues were not helpful at all and didn't care whatsoever. Here is our story:

    The home inspection conducted on the property prior to closing indicated that the units were functioning and, albeit old, still in working condition. We had an issue with one of our heat pumps one month after moving in. The issue was one that "even a seasoned HVAC maintenance individual would not have caught", according to one of the guys that was sent out by 2-10's service provider. The heat pumps were running on electric heat in the dead of winter, which is expensive and not really effective at heating to a comfortable temperature.

    We were told that the condition (a leak in the coil in the air handler) was pre-existing so they would not cover it. Again, something that not even a seasoned professional would have picked up on, had we done a formal HVAC inspection prior to closing. They re-charged the system with Freon and we didn't have any issues until the summer and the compressor died, resulting us in having no air conditioning in the 90 degree, humid summer with a 2 month old baby. Called 2-10, paid the $100 service charge for their provider to come out and look at the unit. Their service provider was confident that this would be something they cover due to the nature of compressors failing. But lo-and-behold, we were denied again. The warranty company blamed the <1 ounce/year Freon leak in the coil for the compressor dying.

    Since, 2-10 reached out to investigate; my husband and I were optimistic they would make things right, but we didn't get our hopes up. Glad we didn't; the individual we worked with was useless. After reviewing the documents, talking to myself and my husband regarding the events and our frustrations, he requested the home inspection to 'continue their investigation'. I supplied them with only the pages pertinent to the HVAC systems, which indicated that the units were functioning and okay prior to closing. It took weeks to respond, after my sending numerous follow up emails and calling multiple times. This individual blamed 'being out the office' for taking so long to get back to me, but not once, during my follow-ups, did I get an "out of office" notification.

    Once I finally did hear back from him, he seemed rushed and like he had already made a decision; he also claimed he needed the whole inspection to make a decision. There was no reason they needed the entire inspection report, but I supplied it. Days later, we were told that our policy started 60 days after the home inspection and therefore they don't cover it. This wasn't true, as the math ended up being within 60 days, but I asked for the fine print that specifies this rule; I never got a response. Moral of the story: save your money on the cost of the policy and service charges altogether or go with another home warranty company.

    This is one of the last correspondence had with 2-10 warranty. Thank you for your assistance last week in getting my payment for the electrical panel expedited. As I stated in our conversation I was not satisfied with the result of the extensive time I spent trying to utilize my home warranty and the result YOU settled on. Upon further review of my file, you will note, contrary to what you told me in our conversations, the amount approved for the replacement of the panel was actually over $1800, but since I was "forced" to use an out of network provider, you only offered $1000. I remind you I was "forced" to use my own provider because 2-10 Warranty could not get someone to actually come to my home to evaluate the concern and certainly not perform a repair.

    We have utilized our 2-10 Home Warranty in the past and had NO issues with the service (other than long hold times) but this experience has been the worst. I was told verbally and in writing that my concern was a covered item and I would be reimbursed the $2899.00 for the replacement of the panel. Then I was transferred to the "High Claims" department for processing of the payment and would be notified in a few days. Then I was told the panel is not covered, but an offer of $645 was made. Then you told me you could only approve up to the $1000 offer.

    I have spoken to Mark, Nathanial, Kimberly, Jennifer and yourself, not to mention all the in-between representatives of 2-10 warranty and have been truly misguided and lied to over and over. I am requesting the original repair cost of $2899 be paid as I was told and shown it would be paid. I am in possession of the $1000 check dated October 4th 2108 and request an additional check in the amount of $1899 be expedited to complete this covered repair funding. Feel free to escalate this concern to whomever you need for this to be handled as it should have been over a week ago. The level of deception experienced by this customer is certainly not the business model of 2-10 Home Warranty and I look forward to the proper resolution being provided once my case is in the right hands.

    Your website has an interesting entry on the "about us" page about 2-10 HBW. “LONG LIVE HAPPY HOMES®” says it all. It says, "We are in the business of promises kept…and promises kept make our customers happy." It says, "We have protected over 5.5 million new and pre-owned homes." It says, "We partner with thousands of the nation’s finest home builders, service contractors and real estate professionals who consider our protection the industry’s gold standard." It says, "We relentlessly focus on reducing the financial risks for our millions of customers." It says a lot about promises kept.

    I look forward to you standing behind your statements above. I then was told I could accept the $1000 dollar offer or any assistance offered would be taken away. I made it very clear I was not satisfied with the result and would continue to pursue this issue of warranty fraud and manipulation by 2-10 agents. I request the remainder of the originally approved amount as described above in the amount of $1899.00 and any amount 2-10 warranty feels appropriate for the misdealing of my account.

    This past weekend (6 days into living in our new house) our downstairs bathroom began to flood from the ground up at around 9 am on a Sunday. I immediately logged in to my 2-10 account to look for a phone number to call and way to get a plumber out on a Sunday in case of an emergency. I submitted a service request (where there was no way to mark emergency, but I could describe what was happening - our house was flooding) and the form's automated response was that my request would be filled within 48 hours Monday-Friday. So I was looking at potentially no plumbing/running water in my house, as well as flooding, for 72 hours - the week of Thanksgiving mind you.

    Panicking I searched "emergency" in the FAQs, and "weekend". Nothing came up. There was nowhere in the client portal to click for emergencies. I tried calling the number they have listed for homeowners and received an automated message saying they were closed (this point has been argued by the claims department - to which I remain steadfast. They claim they were open on Sunday). I proceeded to call the number listed for the service contractor they've assigned me to come sometime between Monday and Tuesday to see if they might be open and can come immediately. There is also a recording saying they are closed for the weekend.

    At this point I'm trying to figure out how to turn my water main off, and I've contacted my realtor to see what to do about getting help. He has an emergency plumber that he gives me that can attend to our house same day. I call them, they come out on Sunday, fix the initial problem but have to return on Monday for a secondary problem and to get our water turned back on. Monday evening around 5 pm they finish and we call to report our claim to 2-10 warranty for a total of $800 of repairs and parts between the two days of work.

    Because we did not book through 2-10 Warranty - despite my multiple efforts - 2-10 Warranty will only cover $172 dollars out of the $800 we have been charged by the plumbers. I spoke with a manager and asked why, if they were open on Sunday as they say, wouldn't they have seen my service request that mentioned our house was flooding and make sure my service was booked immediately? She couldn't give an answer, just said they were open on Sunday and answering the phones. After seeing so many other displeased reviews, I'm not surprised, just disappointed in companies like this that truly don't care about doing the right thing for customers, but just want to profit.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty has been very good to us. We have been protected for about a year and a half. When we bought our condo, we asked the realtor to choose one home warranty company and 2-10 was the one he chose. The first claim we had to submit was right after we moved in. The heater was not working properly. It was during the holidays, so we forgave what happened. But the first person who was to come out within 24 hours never showed up. I had to call back and get someone else to come out.

    They came out right away, had a great experience. They communicated with us during the entire process. We’ve had a couple of other claims, and everything went extremely well. We were able to talk to the contractors and talk through what the problems were and they gave us guidance on what to do and what they did. Our interactions have been very good. In addition to that, every time I call 2-10, whoever I get is extremely friendly and helpful. They’re able to answer all my questions.

    I had a new split AC unit with a heat pump installed in August of this year, roughly 3 months ago. With the cold weather finally arriving in the south I decided to use the heat pump function of the AC unit last night. Unfortunately, that portion is not functioning. The unit does not come on at all even after power cycling the thermostat. I called the contractor who installed the unit and they directed me to contact 2-10 as they initiated the replacement unit. I called 2-10 and was informed that I was going to have to pay another $100 service fee for a unit that is well within both the parts and labor manufacturer's warranty even though this is the same unit that they paid to have replaced less than 3 months ago. This seems excessive considering the age of the unit.

    I recently purchased my first home. I was told by the seller's realtor that they had purchased a home warranty so I should feel secure in the purchase that problems that came up throughout the first year in the home would be covered. Less than a week after the closing I lost power to half of the house. Both bathrooms, my bedroom, the family room, all were without power. The first time I called 2-10 I was on hold for over a half hour before I even talked to anyone. Once I finally did talk to someone they let me know the electrician would reach out to schedule an appointment. When the electrician did call the soonest appointment available was 9 days later.

    I called back 2-10 to see if there was another company that might have a sooner appointment because half of our house did not have power. They said they would have another company call us. 3 days went by before I got ahold of the 2nd company. I had been calling several times a day for the last 48 hours and no one had answered or returned my calls. Once I finally got to talk to someone from the 2nd company they informed me that they were outside of my area and do not service the city I live in. When I called 2-10 again (now having had to wait on hold almost a full two hours total without any issues getting fixed) they did not seem to care at all.

    I had spent three days trying to get ahold of a company they had directed me to that did not serve my city! They told me that the original company was the only electrician that was in network that served Farmington Hills. Why didn’t they say that to begin with? So I reached out to the original company to make sure I still had my appointment for what was now 5 days away. The company came out yesterday and was there for four hours, they did fix some of the rooms power but where unable to fix everything without more time/parts.

    Today I was called by 2-10 and they let me know the repair would not be covered because the issue “could” have happened before the warranty started. Obviously the house had power when it was inspected and the day we got the keys. The problem did not occur until after we moved in. They could deny every claim based on that sentiment and I am sure that they do. My move has been more stressful and at times impossible without power and instead of helping the situation 2-10 has prolonged the problem, caused extra stress and ultimately did nothing to help fix it.

    DO NOT USE. DO NOT USE. DO NOT USE. Absolutely horrible service and have no respect for customers. The main drain in my basement backed up and basement was flooding. This was 3:00 am and I was leaving for a flight in the morning, so I had to act fast and could not wait hours for 2-10 to open and source a plumber. I was trying to prevent further damage and flooding and reduce damage costs by acting fast (plus I need to be able to use the toilet - a basic health need!) Upon notifying 2-10 of what happened I was told "That's unfortunate, but because you went outside of us we cannot reimburse you, even though it was just snaking the drain and is covered under your policy. We appreciate you giving us your money and still having to pay out of pocket." On top of that, the representative was so rude and disrespectful it just made the situation worse.

    When I purchased my house two years ago the lender recommended this company. I have had to request service approximately four or more times. Every time I was told that they would get back to me within 24 hours and every time after numerous times of being told by their contractors that they do not service my area and every time they have at least 24 hours to respond, I ended up having to contact and out of network contractor because 2-10 does not offer any contractors in my area. And anytime you go out of network they want you to pay and they will reimburse you, now as they advertise I got a warranty because I cannot afford costly repairs.

    Now we are in the midst of winter. My heat pump is experiencing multiple failures all of which are covered per the policy under the contract and they do not want to shell out the money to replace the unit instead argue with a contractor to repair. The system that is 10 years old and is utilizing refrigerant that is being phased out, and instead of taking care of the customer and providing a reliable product they want to Band-Aid it together probably because they know that I am NOT going to renew my warranty subscription. Every claim has been a fight and now when I, the customer really need them to step up for the safety of my family they want to buy out the repair.

    We left 2-10 because they have a blatant and gross disregard for human life. Our heating went out when it was 9 degrees out, but because Virginia wasn't declared a 'State of Emergency', they said it would take over a week to get someone out to fix it. 9 degrees, folks. Not to mention that when we moved into the house in January, they refused to pay for our broken stove. It passed the inspection, but the day we moved in, the entire house smelled of gas. The gas company came out and 2-10 sent out a contractor (who didn't show the first time) that said a part was broken, but he couldn't get the part.

    They said they wouldn't cover it because we were already in the house and the leak was there before we moved in. We had to pay the $100 deductible for no help from our warranty company. And both times the customer service was atrocious. Please save your money. If you have a child in the house, you don't want to get stuck with a gas leak or no heat for a weak in 9 degrees.

The quality of work has been fairly decent although there were a couple of different air conditioning contractors they sent out that we basically told to go away. When we did, we just called 2-10 back to say the contractor was a rip-off artist. and to find me a real contractor.

The other 2 appointments were on our a/c system. This was an easy process. The first visit we did have to pay out of pocket to re-fill the a/c fluids. The second incident was 3 months later when the unit quit cooling again. The company had scheduled us for 2 days out but I had a newborn baby and they made time to come the next day. They fixed the issue until the new coils could come in. 2-10 took care of all the coil replacement scheduling and we didn't pay anything additional for that replacement.

I said the oven door glass cracked when I opened it. The technician said the movers broke it. That was not in our conversation! Not only did the tech almost forget to take payment, but called the people seen before me to apologize for not collecting their payment and asked them to call the office to make payment. No solution to my problem offered. No callbacks, no help at all.

    I've been happy with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. We've renewed one time with them. When I submit a claim, I call the 1-800 number and speak to one of their employees, and generally, they have it set up pretty quickly. I hear within a day or two from whatever company is coming out to my house. We've had four different issues and three of the contractors they've sent were fantastic. One of them though, I would never use again because they put in the wrong water heater. It caused gas to come into our house and we had headaches. Then, when we tried to resolve that issue, the manager of the place was just a jerk. 2-10 also could not help us, so it was frustrating on both ends. Other than that, everything has been fine.

    I moved into an 18 year old home that was covered under this warranty. After a month of living in the home, I had two claims that were uncovered - a stand-alone ice maker was broken (denied - 'this appliance is not covered under warranty under their regular policy coverage') and then a second claim when the A/C did not maintain consistent temperatures throughout the house (denied - 'zone control systems are not covered under the policy'). Now that winter is approaching, we had a failed furnace that has a rusted out plenum manifold and is blowing rust chunks through the vents and staining carpeting and walls (by-the-way, this collateral damage is also not covered - big surprise!)

    This particular issue looks like it should be covered as there is no language excluding the failed plenum, but now the denial has been justified as the records indicate the failure was in the 'secondary drain pan'. What?!? How did they get that? Apparently the techs use a web interface to report issues and possibly the main issue has not been properly communicated? Now I'm getting the run-around initially saying that the issue was a 'pre-existing condition and is not covered'? Huh? I had the furnaces inspected and serviced prior to buying the house and nothing was discovered then.

    I have already spent $200 on service deductibles and probably six hours with techs and phone 'customer no-service' personnel just looking to deny claims. No one wants to help you - they are just looking for ways to say your claim is not covered or that the claim is on hold waiting for some other individual or process in the bureaucracy. Do not waste your money or time with this warranty company.

    2-10 came with the house we bought and we've with been with them for four and a half years. When we had a hot water heater fail, they told me that I was gonna have to pay for it first because the company that they selected wouldn’t respond at all. I found out that the company was out of business. The company that installed the original water heater would be able to come out and replace it. But since the company wasn’t in 2-10's network, I had to pay for that out of pocket and hoped that 2-10 would return my money. At the end of the day, I wrote the contractor a check for 17 something. My wife told me I was never gonna see a penny of that but within a couple of weeks, I got a check for it. I was happy.

    I also had my air conditioner compressor fail. The replacement cost on that was 580 bucks. Where I live, there are not a lot of people working on these things and 2-10's database showed they would only do a replacement by 240 bucks for that part. I had to play a lot of games with 2-10 to get them to reimburse. We even had to pay money out of my pocket to get things fixed.

    There was also the time when a company came out and gave me a quote to replace my air conditioning unit. That was 1,845 bucks. But 2-10 told me that the industry average is only 940. When I asked if the company could do the replacement for 940, they said no. I had to pay the difference and I had to negotiate with the contractor. I paid 2-10 $400 for a three-year contract for my stuff and so far, I’ve gotten $2,500 out of them. I’m okay with that because that’s money that I have saved, but it is a pain in the rear end. People asking about 2-10 should do their homework.

    My mother-in-law used 2-10 when she bought her first home and I ended up using them, too. But when I had claims, I didn't like my experience. So when the year finished, I didn’t do another contract with them. Every time something happened, they would call me five days later that they couldn’t find anybody and for me to find somebody. But I didn’t know how to do that stuff and that was why I got the insurance, so they could take care of it for me. I even paid extra because I have a swimming pool. But when my pool broke, they couldn’t find anybody. When I found somebody, 2-10 said that it was something that they didn’t cover that. So I ended having to buy an expensive part of the pool myself and finding somebody else to fix it. So I fixed it myself and the insurance didn’t help out at all.

    Then, I had a leak in my living room upstairs and when I submitted a claim, the same thing happened. 2-10 sent a plumber down there who made a big old hole and in the end, they couldn’t do anything about it. I also got tired of trying to get a hold of 2-10 or the plumbers and I coughed up the whole money for the repair myself. I got a handy guy, he fixed the whole thing for me, and that cost me about 300 bucks.

    One time, I submitted a claim for my dishwasher. But I reset it and already unplugged it before the tech came out. So when he came in, he just plugged it back in and it worked. That was it and I paid him 60 bucks. At another time, I filed a claim for fixing a patch in the living room and it took forever for 2-10 to send someone out. They couldn’t get a hold of anybody for anything. So when they were calling me to renew my contract, I asked them why would I renew when it has been two months and they haven’t even finished this patch on the ceiling. It was pretty bad and I got upset. However, I’m not an arguer, so I didn't call them to argue about it. But when I called them one time to tell them that they haven’t done anything, they gave me a bunch of excuses and I ended up paying for the repair myself.

    I have been a customer with 2-10 Home Warranty since I purchased my first home last year. The first year with 2-10 was amazing! Whenever I requested services I immediately received a prompt response and great customer service. I enjoyed the service so much that I recently renewed my contract and added not only the Supreme Coverage but also the Pre-Season HVAC Tune-Up.

    To my dismay, the superior service no longer exists. Per my service contract, I requested the Pre-Season HVAC Tune-Up on October 15, 2018 well within the specified time-frame. It is now October 31, 2018 and I have yet to speak with a service contractor regarding setting an appointment to service my HVAC system. When I reached out to the 2-10 customer service reps I was told that the new service contractor would be calling me that evening. I still have not received that call or follow-up from a contractor or customer service rep. I called yesterday to express my frustration and was told yet again a service contractor would call.

    This did not happen. Today, I had enough, I called to speak with a customer service supervisor and was told they were all busy and could not help me. I called again and was read the service agreement and told that the best they could do was connect me with another service contractor. This would be the third service contractor. However, instead of connecting me to a third contractor they have sent me an email stating that I can pay out of pocket for a service I am paying them for. This is not how business should be done and I’m extremely disappointed.

    When we first purchased our house, it had a warranty from 2-10. After that, we kept going with them and it has been 11 years now. We also looked at another company but 2-10 had better warranty coverage so we stayed with them. When we have a claim, they’re normally pretty fast. We’ve submitted several claims and they always take care of us. It might take one or two days for them to come out and whenever they come, they always fix the problem. We’ve filed claims with them over the phone and online but for the last couple of times, it’s been online. The process is simple and we have no problems with it. Also, the contractors who came out have provided us with good service. If we haven’t gotten the warranty, a lot of stuff would have been really expensive. But because we have it, it helped us out a lot. Go with 2-10 or at least talk to them because they have good prices and the warranty coverage is good.

    Within hours of my review, the company reached out and problem solved. They have decided to honor the rebate on my stove purchase. To that end they said they would be sending me a check for $100.00

    I appreciate how friendly and amiable the representative was. My wish is thst it hadnt taken since the beginning of April to resolve.

    My other repairs this past year were covered, a faucet was replaced for the service charge. A toilet repaired and the air conditioner was repaired as well. All were relatively quick and the people the sent to do repairs were from highly regaurded companies in my area.

    Original Review: Oct. 30, 2018

    My stove was leaking gas. 2-10 offered 100$ for a rebate if I purchased a new stove and sent in the original receipt and claim form to them. After sending and then waiting months I contacted them. They say there is nothing they can do because they 'never received the receipt or claim.' They have been quick to put their hand out to renew the warranty.

    I am a disabled widow taking care of my 2 infant grandchildren and living on 1052 a month. That 100$ represents a huge portion of my monthly income. It was very difficult coming up with the almost 400$ for the stove plus an additional 80$ to have it installed. I couldnt believe for the massive amount of money I paid that they didnt cover replacing the range. Then to say they never received my mail. Likely story! Shopping for another warranty company. One that does more than disappoint.

    I have been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since the end of 2010 and it was included with my home purchase. I am familiar with them and I know how to work with them now, so I have been reluctant to try to learn another company. The claims process is very easy for the things that 2-10 can control, but they have a hard time tracking whether or not the providers of the service contact the customer and follow through. 2-10 sends out an email after I make a claim and says I should've been contacted by the repair person. I have the opportunity to say no, which I have done. I usually have to try twice at least before it results in a contractor contacting me.

    2-10 presumably creates an agreed upon rate towards something with local contractors and when I put in a service request, 2-10 has a mechanism that tries to find somebody in my area whom they’ve contracted with. But then, it's in their hands that's why even though I'm citing that there’s a complaint or an area for improvement, I appreciate that there's only so much 2-10 can do because they don't have any control over how soon the contractors may act on the service request. I always have to call again and tell them that it has been three or four days and I haven't heard anything from anybody.

    It doesn't say whether or not they switched to a different provider and it usually takes one more call to do it. Other than that, I've been very happy with the service. The contractors I've had contact with were so cool. They've done the job and I have no complaints at all. The issue has always been easily resolved. I've recommended the service in general and I wouldn't discourage one from joining or from signing up with 2-10 Home Warranty.

    This warranty was provided by the seller of our home. Saturday our heat stopped working. The email sent said it would be 48 hours due to a weekend before we would hear from service provider. Red Flag number one. No heat I guess doesn't equate to an emergency even though the nighttime temperature is down to 45 degrees. Monday comes, I wait until the afternoon to call the service provider because they did not call us and they tell me, “I will get a call back later” because their scheduling person is out. I told them I have been without heat since Saturday and no one cares because they are obviously not coming today.

    So I called 2-10 and they are all apologetic but no one will help me. They tried to give me the service provider's number again which I already told them I called. Then the supervisor tells me my only other option is to hire someone myself and wait to get authorization for the repairs and submit the bill to maybe get reimbursed. Meanwhile we have no heat!

A contractor contacted me on Thursday 9/20/18 to tell me that he will not be able to come to my house until the next Monday, 9/24/18. I told him I couldn't wait since the temperatures around this time were in the upper 80s and my family couldn't sleep in that heat till that Monday. I called 2-10 right away and another contractor came in on Friday, 9/21/18 to look at my air-condition. The contractor told he needed to replace some parts and will ask 2-10 to order them. Initially, 2-10 told me the parts will be delivered to the contractor on September 28, 2018.

    When the part was not delivered on this date, I called 2-10 and was told that the part was shipped to Pennsylvania and it is being re-shipped to New Jersey and it will take 5 business days. I called several times and every time I was told a different story. I called again last week and was told that the contractor will have the part on 10/19/18. I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was connected to a woman by name Monica (ID **) and she was very nasty to me. She told me that the repairs on my air conditioner were being delayed because I rejected the first contractor because he couldn't come to my house right away.

    The worst thing, when I asked her to put herself in my shoes and tell me if she could have slept in temperatures close to 90 degrees, and she said she would have. As of today, 10/26/18, the part has not arrived. I called 2-10 this morning and I was told that the part has just been ordered and the contractor will receive it on 10/31/18. So all along I was being told lies, it has been 37 days now since my air condition broke down and I don't know when it will be fixed. I don't believe anything that 2-10 tells me anymore.

    We bought a home with a seller purchased 2-10 warranty. Shortly after taking ownership of the home we realized the heat and AC were not working properly, so we called in a claim. The contractor came out, claimed a fuse was blown to our AC unit, and replaced it as well as topped of the Freon. After looking at the furnace it was discovered the heat exchange was cracked and was leaking carbon monoxide into our home and the contractor would put in a claim to 2-10. After almost 2 weeks of no word from 2-10 we called again, they claimed there were no report of the furnace situation (I have the receipt that clearly states what mentioned), and Asked if we wanted to make another claim and have a contractor come out. We denied this due to already having all the information from the original claim.

    After over a month of back and forth calls, our claim was denied because it was a “pre-existing” condition and we should have had an HVAC specialist look at it beforehand. It passed the visual inspection. Was disgusted with every aspect of the way the company handled the whole situation, had to pay out of pocket for these repairs, and also revealed the AC unit had zero coolant in it (the contractor came about a month ago). Canceled the warranty and demanded every cent reimbursement. DO NOT BUY... Entirely worthless company.

    2-10's claim process is fairly easy to do. It's all online. After I submit the claim in, they'll contact somebody. But if you ever need to talk to them, it's a pain in the butt because you'll spend hours on hold. Also, every time you talk to them, they wanna confirm your phone number and email after an hour of talking. Their customer service is good, though. Their representatives are very professional and responsive, and they try to help solve the problem.

    If someone asks me about 2-10, I'll tell them to be prepared. I've been with them for almost 15 years now and they've jacked their prices every year. Also, they've sent some good and some bad contractors although it’s never been that big of an issue. In my business, I pool subcontractors all over the country and you'll never know if you got a good one. You think you do and they show up and don't do such a good job. By and large, if there’s a problem with the contractor, 2-10 will change it.

    I had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a year. When I had to submit a claim, I had to call in and speak to someone which generally would take in about two hours to do. Then, they'd take the cheapest person they could find to come and fix the problem. The person who came for our HVAC system put a band-aid on the problem and it had to be fixed three months later. So, we cancelled 2-10. I'd tell people not to go the cheap route but pay someone who actually knows what they’re doing to fix the problem so that it doesn’t have to get fixed four times in a year.

    We have been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for eight months now. I'm from South Africa and when we got here, we engaged with a realtor who helped us buy a house. 2-10 happens to be part of the whole package. Their website is user-friendly and their responses are good. I have done all my claims online. And the claims process is very simple. After I filed a claim, I get an email saying that they have received my request. Normally, not long after that, I get the work order saying that a contractor will be contacting me. When a contractor does make contact, they go out and do an assessment. Once 2-10 receives an assessment from the contractor, they get a hold of me and say whether my claim is approved or not, as well as what kind of additional payment I have to make. It's very straightforward.

    However, I experienced issues with some of the contractors that they have recommended. Sometimes they engage me with someone that says they are out of the area. While it's not a big deal, I had a couple of guys that I called to make an appointment but they never pitched. Then I've made another appointment but they have never showed up. In cases like these, I try and get a hold of 2-10 again. I have someone there, who is almost like a personal agent I can speak with. And they follow up on a regular basis. In fact, they might phone me three times a day. Then they work directly with the contractor to make sure that they do get in contact. So far, some patching was done and whatever claim we had was fixed. In addition to that, the guys who came out were very friendly. They asked if I had questions.

    My realtor talked me into taking a home warranty with 2-10 on an older home. Two claims, tow denials! The first was for leaking pipes to a bathroom downstairs that was shut off when I bought it. They said they had frozen and quickly denied the claim. The second was an electrical claim. When you turn the bedroom light on upstairs it kicks the breaker. I had their service people out and he said I needed a new circuit due to the way the wiring had been put in. They promptly denied that claim as well. Of course I had to pay him $100 to come out. They should inspect homes before they offer coverage. Had they done so I would have denied them!

    I am using 2-10 Home Warranty for last 2 years. This is the first time I had placed a service request for HVAC tune up (for which I had paid extra $80 and + $100 service charge). I had to call 3 times to get my service set up. But the contractors didn't showed up first time. I called 2-10, but no help was provided. I had to call contractor for another appointment. And again they didn't showed up. Today 3rd appointment was set up at morning 8-10 AM; now its 10.32 AM. Contractors are not here; neither they gave me a call. 2-10 should take responsibility for providing the service; I paid the money to 2-10. This is very very disappointing and I lost 6 hours waiting for last 3 time; I am not sure what shall I do next.

    I have a 2-10 warranty on my house, so I figured to have them cover the appliances also. Recently, when I was trying to get my air conditioner fixed, there were some hiccups. I submitted a claim online and they sent it to a tech but he rejected it because he said he had too many customers. Then, I got to another one and that guy said he was not working for 2-10 anymore. It seemed that during the hot days, the air conditioning guys in San Antonio were booked and they didn’t wanna come out and do the work.

    When 2-10 finally got me a tech and he came over, he fixed one of my air conditioners. He also charged me for the Freon that he put in it and said that it wasn't part of the warranty. The next month, the other air conditioner went low on Freon as well, so I had to call back. I had another guy come out and he said that the Freon is part of the warranty. So he asked why I had to pay $150 for it. I had to explain to 2-10 about that and that turned into a mess. The guy said that I needed to produce some sort of a receipt and I couldn’t find the receipt because my wife buried it somewhere in all the other mails. So, I never got that resolved and that experience wasn't my cup of tea. But other than that, all the other claims that I submitted with 2-10 have been flawless and the other contractors who came out were perfect.

    When I call 2-10 to submit a claim, everything is fine. The first time I've had to call them was right after I bought the house. The kitchen lights had blown a fuse so I had to get an electrician to come out. The electrician came out but after he left, the HVAC unit stopped working. It was December so it was a little cold. I called the next morning and 2-10 sent out an HVAC person. Apparently, when the electrician had come out the day before, he had pulled the HVAC fuse out of the box and did not push it back in. I said, “Let’s push it back in.” But the HVAC person said he couldn't do that and that I would have to get the electrician to come back out.

    I had already given him $100 for coming out and then I had to pay him another $100 to come out and fix the problem that he had created. So I called the home warranty company. I told them I shouldn’t have to pay them the extra $100 because it was their mistake. They said they would fix it and they did. So then everything was cooking along.

    When I had a plumbing issue, everything was fine. But then this year, I had a claim for my air conditioner and it made me so mad. Whenever it got above 90 degrees outside, the air conditioner could not keep the house cool enough. I had somebody come out and 2-10 said this one company was gonna come out and fix it. That was on Monday. The contractor called me and scheduled an appointment for Thursday. It was fine. It does cool off in the evening and I was just going to turn the lights off. But when Thursday rolled around, nobody showed up. So I called 2-10 back on Friday. They called the contractor again and that time, a guy called me and said he never got my order to come out here. I told him that I did because I had talked to this guy and they had scheduled him for Thursday. But he said it was not on there. So somebody deleted it.

    I went through three different companies to get somebody to come out and fix it, and those were all through the home warranty. I talked to one person at 2-10 and they said they couldn't find anybody else to come out and fix my air conditioner. Then I told them that I had used this one company the year before. They were really nice and I liked them. I was told to get them to come out and give an estimate then call 2-10 back.

    So I called the contractor and they gave me an estimate of $2,000 to fix the air conditioner. They were gonna take out a coil that had a hole in it and was leaking. I needed to call 2-10 and I asked the contractor if they could talk to 2-10 because I didn't know what they were saying. We called 2-10 but they said they were not paying the contractor and that they would get their own. But why haven’t they gotten somebody out here in the past three weeks? Then it degenerated from there.

    Three weeks had gone by before somebody finally came out. 2-10 got that first company. They called me and sent somebody out but they were very rude. They talked to me like I was a two-year old. I don’t know a whole lot about HVAC system but I do know generally what’s going on. They said that the reason the filter, which was in the ceiling, was bowed upwards was because it was so clogged with animal hair. They said I had too many dogs and cats. I said that they were crazy but he continued to go in that route. I told them that the filter had always done that, even prior to the animals being in the house.

    They continued on and I said fine. But when I asked if they had fixed the problem, they said that just poured some anti-leak fluid in it. So instead of fixing the problem, they just put a band aid on it. It didn’t fix the problem because the next day, it was 99 degrees outside and although I had it set on 72, it was up to 76. So I lodged a complaint. I told the young woman from 2-10 that I was upset of this. I didn’t want a band aid. I wanted it fixed. They said that they would just send the company back out and they would put more Freon in. But then I would get charged another $100. I’ll never use that company again.

    I saw how it was going. 2-10 would keep billing me for $100 and then I pay them $700 for nothing. And they were holding on to whatever more money I gave them. The young woman and I got into a yelling match. There was one person who tried to get me somebody to come out. She was very nice. She really wanted to help me. But the rest were just doing their jobs. There was no empathy.

    When we purchased our current home in late 2015 the seller provided a 2-10 policy with the house. We've really had nothing but problems with the policy. We had a refrigerator compressor start making noise and had to live with it for nearly 3 months before 2-10 decided they couldn't fix it and bought us out for a few hundred dollars forcing us to buy new appliances. Our kitchen uses a pump and not a garbage disposal. When the pump failed they didn't cover it causing us to have over $500 to get it fixed ourselves.

    My policy is up for renewal so today I called to better understand the HVAC coverage options and couldn't get a clear description that would allow me to make an intelligent decision. On the positive side they did repair my pool pump when it started leaking and I've had a couple of slow drains and a HVAC condensate pump replaced. Overall I'm quite disappointed with the company. I don't know if their competitors are any better but my experience over the last 3 years is not good.

    We have received a home warranty when we purchased our new home in November of 2018. June of 2018, one of my air conditioner units stopped functioning. I contacted a local company who evaluated the unit and informed me the compressor was not working. I began my experience of submitting a claim with 2-10 home warranty at that time. Submitting the claim was the easy part - after that... it was all downhill.

    The goal of this company is not to pay out any money and find any loophole to not process a claim. I submitted the claim and was told they would have someone contact me during that week. I explained to the representative that we had a individual at home with a heart condition and a new baby coming any day, I could not wait and the company I had evaluate the equipment was able to install within the next few day. She explained to me if we used a contractor out of their network it would be reimbursed at a different rate; I understood. I was then given an job number and was told I would be contacted to submit supporting documents. I was contacted and submitted what I had from the contractor. This is where it all went wrong.

    The job number I had suddenly changed as it was not from an outside vendor, no one informed me. After submitting multiple documents and numerous phone calls I keep calling. The communication was poor, I sent in documents they were calling for already, no one reads notes in the system. I was then told I needed more information, I tried to arrange with the vendor to communicate with 2-10, they don't return phone calls... I finally got to a supervisor who said she would follow up... during the time I sent all my documents to her; still received calls from other reps telling me I needed to send documents, I explained she had already had them, they could not see them in the system, very frustrating, one hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

    They initially told me reimbursement is within 7 days - not true. They bounce you around and around in a cycle of confusion, so you can't even figure out what is up. There are time periods without communication. In the end I finally received a "call" from a manger claiming he was going to help... his help included telling me I didn't get this pre-approved, no one told me till now, the initial operator told me it was reimbursed at a different rate, he asked me why I got a whole new unit when it was the compressor only, well it was 14 years old! That's why. He then asked well if something breaks in my car do I buy a new one? Everyone here unprofessional, there is no follow up, customer service is no existent and the goal is not to pay. Good luck.

    Started my file on 8-03-18 for a claim on Galaxy series Frigidaire oven. They stated that pre-ordering the parts they think are incorrect or causing the problem will speed up the process of my repair. The first time they actually showed up to look at the oven was 9-07- 2018 over a month after I made the claim. Contacted to 2-10 warranty multiple times... Each time they said they had no excuse or reason why it’s taking so long. During the first time the technician came out to fix the oven, he was unable to fix oven. He then said he needed to order more parts to try.

    Returning to my home on 10-05-2018 with the additionally ordered parts. After he tried installing these parts the oven was still inoperable. He said he was going to close out the ticket and advise 2-10 Home Warranty the oven is nonrepairable, and they would need to make a decision to replace or to get a second opinion. Another week goes by and 2-10 Warranty said that the claim is closed and there’s nothing they can do about it. My oven is still nonoperable and 2-10 claims there is nothing they can do.

    Our compressor has been being shipped and re-shipped all over America. I was supposed to get a call today about it is finally arriving in Birmingham but NOPE, Nuh-uh, Nada... No air, no a/c and my husband has been having to recuperate from knee replacement surgery in a bedroom where we have to turn on a portable fan to get air circulating around for his entire recovery. PATHETHIC. 2-10 YOUR LEADERSHIP NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

    Original Review: The only reason I'm giving two stars is due to the fact that the third contractor I was assigned actually had a live person who answered their phone and they were responsive as far as the initial service call. The first two contractors (Hodges in Birmingham, AL) was one of them never returned three of my phone calls when they didn't respond to the service call. The second contractor didn't respond and the third contractor is now telling me that 2-10 hasn't confirmed whether THEY will be ordering a compressor for our AC or if the Contractor will order.

    I told the contractor that the compressor wasn't going to order itself and she said "Yeah it's been up on our board for a while"... Oh my gosh??? My husband returned home from knee replacement surgery three weeks ago which I have told everyone involved about our medical situation at 2-10 and they are very apologetic and then do nothing. Hello September/October in Alabama is hot. Average temps have been 93 during the day. I really don't know how 2-10 stays in business. Three weeks and nobody knows when/if we're getting a compressor and our unit must have one for heat or air. My advice, do not use 2-10.

They fixed the problem that they thought it was. The third contractor was really good though.

    I went online after my washing machine broke. I placed a service request. A box popped up offering me a $100.00 rebate, with a message suggesting that I take the $100.00, as well as go buy a new washer of my liking. I was (in my opinion) subtly and overtly urged to take that option, instead of having someone come out to service the washer (which costs me $100.00). There was NO (ZERO) indication that I would be out the money for the new washer (minus the $100.00 rebate). I called once I determined that I would not be reimbursed for the washer.

    The "Customer service manager" tried to blame me for my naiveté. She refused to do anything about it, claiming, "If I had any question that [2-10] would not pay for the washer, I should have called for clarification." Please understand, I had no indication they would NOT pay. I'm not suggesting I have zero fault. I'm suggesting, primarily, the company could give two ** if I was confused and lost a lot of money due to their confusing suggestions. This company is AWFUL!!!

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was the insurance that was given when I bought the home. I called on the phone when submitting claims but the process was very horrible. It would save a lot of headaches if 2-10 would stop trying to figure out ways to not pay people when they have claims than trying to go back and forth. When we did our home inspection before, they didn't tell us that the fan on our stove was broken, so we had to replace the whole baking system on our stove. Then we had a refrigerator claim. The switch that turns the compressor on to make the refrigerator cold was faulty. I lost a whole refrigerator full of food because it was switched off for a couple of hours and switched back on.

    Now, 2-10 said that they couldn't replace the refrigerator because it was "not broken". But I was like, "The climate on the refrigerator is to stay cold. If it doesn't stay cold, it's broken." So they told me that I had to wait for it to break completely like not get cold ever, because I've mentioned that it got cold, and that's stupid. I literally begged them in order to get a decent refrigerator.

    After everything was said and done, had two specialists out, but 2-10 wouldn't pay and so the specialist charged me to come out for the visit. He went, did the refrigerator, and said that he could replace the piece which he charged us 100 bucks and I never got reimbursed in 2-10 for that. Then there was one of the specialists that was taking his job super serious. I was trying to explain to him why the refrigerator needed to be replaced, and he ended up getting into it with the specialist on the phone. The professional guy tried to tell him that the refrigerator was broken, but the guy from the phone was trying to tell him that it wasn't like that. That's not how the specialist does his job. So, it got so bad that the specialist got off the phone and said to me to tell that company to never call him again as he never wanted to deal with them.

    I was going back and forth with 2-10. There were times when I've been waiting for a phone call back and they said that they would contact me in two days. Six days went by and I had to call back and then they were like, "Oh, yeah. Well, we have your claim available". I asked them why they didn’t call me. It just went an entire a weekend and I couldn't call them obviously over the weekend. There was a huge lack of response and I had to do all the work in order to get my refrigerator replaced.

    It took me almost three weeks to get a refrigerator. I was feeding my new-born, my wife, my two teenagers out of literally ordering pizza and eating out every day because we couldn't store food and we lost a lot of money. 2-10 ended up sending a $900 check to buy a new one and we paid the difference of $300-$400, 'cause the way refrigerators work, if we'd go under $900, we're gonna get crap. I was almost on the point where I wanted to get another insurance. We ended up going to Farmers and leaving 2-10 as 21-10 didn't really cover much.

Well a couple weeks later it is back to doing the same thing. I put in another claim on 10/07 and the original tech denied the work order stating too busy (to me he knew what the problem was and didn't want to fix it) so another one came out on 10/08 checked and the freon was low again and then he got a machine and found the leak in the attic.

    I kept calling to find out how long this was going to take. I talked to the parts department on 10/11 and they said they was going to expedite the order and then on 10/12 I get an email stating the part would be ready on 10/18. I do know there is a part store here in town that actually had 6 of the parts in stock. I live in SC and it is still warm in October. I had also explained I have a grandson that lives with me that has a traumatic brain injury in which he needs it to be cool. So now the part will be in on 10/18 and then I have to wait for the contractor to fit me into his schedule which will be probably some time next week. At this point is will be like 3 weeks with no air. I am so disappointed in the service.

    It has been an entire month now since I opened the work order to fix my washing machine. The initial response was prompt, an appointment made for 3 days later, however upon entering the home and conducting some basic troubleshooting it was determined parts were needed. It followed in this fashion: 5 days pass and we call, technician response "The wrong parts were delivered, we're going to order again." 7 days pass and we call, "We're still waiting on the parts." 4 days pass and we call, "We've got the wrong parts again." 7 days pass and we call, "We actually had the parts but they must have gotten misplaced so we're going to order them again."

    And now I am still waiting, about half the time my calls don't even get answered and throughout the entire process I've had to call the technician rather than them giving me an update on how they're going to fulfill their part of the contract. I have no idea if this is just an attribute of workers in the south or the quality of contractor that 2-10 works with, either way this is not a rare case and I'd caution anyone before they enter into contract with this company. When calling for support with these matters I'm met with staunch resistance to do anything, the support representatives assuring me "There's nothing you can do about it. Just wait".

We shared this info but 2-10 insisted they need their contractor to come out which we agreed knowing it’s an additional cost. However after 4 days and after calling every day we find that they did not give the diagnosis code. Now I was told they will accept an out of network contractor. Again it’s a lengthy process to prove what is already proven by 2 contractors. I want the 2-10 company to know we can buy a new one tomorrow which we will, but isn’t this the very reason to have the insurance. I think this is a scam that is painful and time consuming, will not recommend to use your valuable free time getting behind people that don’t care!

    This company is an absolute scam. There needs to be a lawsuit against them. I have been waiting for over three weeks for someone to fix our fridge and this company finally sent a repairman out last Thursday the 11th and our service request is still showing as service request received. Every time I call I wait for 10 minutes before speaking to anyone, and then they say "we will have someone look into this, you should hear back in 24 hours" and they just keep doing that over and over again. I would be shocked to find out that they actually provided the service they advertise. At this rate, our fridge is never going to be fixed.

    We opened our service request on the 28th and still have not even heard back from them on what the problem is, if they can repair it, if there is a part that needs to be ordered, or if they have to replace it. My guess is that they will find some loophole as to why they will not cover the fridge. Which is exactly what they did with our microwave a couple months ago.

    I have never had to work with such a distasteful company in my life. They will not fix the problem but work around replacing any appliance in your home at all costs to you. They are scammers and I'll never use this company again or recommend them to anyone.

    Our AC stop working and they send a technician to diagnose the problem. He came and said we need to replace the AC. After a lot of calls it's took the company over than 2 weeks to order the parts! No one from the representative knows what's going on on this job, they keep giving us different answers, they can't reach their own technician! After that the parts finally arrived the technician don't want to do the job and not answering our phone calls! We live in Houston Texas and it's very hot here and we have a baby at home. We are waiting over than a month for 2-10 to come and fix the problem but they really don't care! They never called us for updates.

    We called them every time and got different answers. Their only solution is to send a different guy to come again and diagnose the problem to wait again for the parts to arrive and then to schedule installation and again it's going to be over than a month waiting. This is not how business supposed to work! Not professional at all. Do not work with them. Very disappointing. We ask several times to speak with a manager/supervisor and no one called us back. We feel like it's a scam and no one from 2-10 take the responsibility about that and help us. To give them 1 star it’s even too much for this company! And it’s also take them a long time to answer the phone.

    My air conditioning wasn't cooling. Submitting the claim through 2-10's website was fine and they eventually replaced the outside unit. The issue was more about finding vendors that can do the job and getting them to follow through to fix things. We had a couple of claims where they didn't have vendors in the area and I ended up having to go find somebody. Then when I did, getting paid back was a huge hassle. I had to call them multiple times and they hassled me about whether it was properly approved or not. Every time I called, I had to wait at least 45 minutes to talk to anybody. Then when I did, the person could rarely solve my problem. On one particular claim for a pool, they owed me $600. I'd call, wait on the phone, then they'd transfer me to somebody else in Accounts Payable. They'd say this hasn't been done or that hasn't been done. It was a real runaround. I not happy with 2-10.

    We recently purchased our home 2 months ago. Due to the fact the appliances were very old, the sellers paid for a "Supreme Coverage" Homeowners Policy through 2-10. Our dishwasher, which is at least 10-15 years old, was in rough shape - inside the dishwasher the coating was worn throughout the machine, the soap dispenser latch was broken and the pump wasn't working properly. When the service provider came out, he recommended a new machine since it was so old. 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty declined a new machine and said it would only replace 3 parts. Since we didn't want to keep the old dishwasher, I asked for a buyout for parts. I was given $165. It is disappointing that a "Supreme Coverage" would only grant parts for such an old machine. When the policy coverage expires I do not plan on renewing - it is a waste of money and thankfully I didn't have to pay for the original coverage.

    Using 2-10 is straightforward and not nearly as complex as I thought it was gonna be. I've submitted claims to 2-10 both online and by phone and I've had no problems at all. I get a service contractor in 24 hours after filing and I've also had no problems with the contractors they've sent out.

    2-10 was purchased by the people who sold the house, and we've had it for eight months. We've filed multiple claims and most of the time, I go to the online portal. I have called a couple of times as well, and that has been pretty easy. Still, it's way easier to fill out online. The response varies from four to ten days, based on what kind service you need to bring out and how they do that service. Overall, the appliance repair people have been extremely professional. However, we had an issue with our garage door and that was less of a satisfactory experience. And then, we had a more complicated issue with the gas line. That one went back and forth multiple times 'cause it seemed like everybody they tried to call out didn't handle what the problem was. We knew that there was a gas leak, but the plumbers didn't know what to do. At that time, we had five different technicians out.

    However, we had an issue with our garage door and that was less of a satisfactory experience. Because the house is under-maintained, it's not covered under the warranty according to the service technician. When the dishwasher went down, I did the new dishwasher program but because we got a new dishwasher, they didn't cover the repair on it. 2-10 has been a good service, but I had some minimal exposure through Sears Home Warranty in the past and I found that far superior to other home warranty products that I've had.
