I have had two major issues happen in the last six months (2018). My AC went out and my refrigerator decided to stop working. Each time has been a hassle with communication. Meanwhile, sending me companies that are awful at communicating with me. As well as their unreliability in keeping appointments. It took 3 months for my AC to be fixed because of 2-10's inability to answer the company's phone calls to order the parts we needed. The company even said that they hated dealing with 2-10. That should have made me cancel them immediately but alas.
Now, my fridge isn't cooling. They've sent out a company that never showed for their appointment with me. The company called and told me that I missed the appointment and if I could reschedule to the next day. I had to ask why they didn't show up and all they could say was it was a technician issue and got a sad "sorry." They proceeded to come AFTER the appointment time and ordered a part through 2-10 at my house. They never called me to tell me if they received the part and I had to reach out to 2-10 a week later. 2-10 got me an appointment a week later due to them having my part. So, I received a call from the person who was supposed to come by and found out, 2-10 sent out a brand new company who had no idea what was wrong with my fridge. Here I am, a month later, still without a fridge. I will never recommend this company to a single soul on this entire Earth.

Hi there K Ro. We are disheartened to read about your claim experiences with us and would like to try and expedite a solution for your fridge claim. Would you reply with your property address and/or work order number? Your reply should remain in a private message. Thank you for your feedback and please get back to us as soon as you can.

It’s been one week and we’re still waiting on our HVAC repair. Called 2-10 today and they said they are going to order parts, although the service contractor told them that parts were needed last week. The rep I spoke to today at 2-10 said the parts could take 3-5 business. Then the service contractor will contact us for the install. When I expressed my concerned that all of this could possibly mean my AC unit is down for 2-3 weeks, the rep appeared unconcerned and told me to read my contract. My concern will certainly be there when I have to decide on contract renewal.

Hi there James. I am very sorry to hear that our representative appeared unconcerned surrounding the amount of time your claim will take to be resolved. I would like to escalate your review for you and report your experiences to management. Would you reply to my response with your property address and/or work order number? Your response should remain private. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

When I bought my house, my realtor mentioned home warranties and I picked 2-10. Submitting a claim has been really good, and I keep renewing the warranty because they've been really helpful. My thermostat and air conditioning unit kept having problems and I didn't have AC for five days. It was the end of summer, so it was really annoying. For two or three more times, 2-10 had someone come out and they waived the fees for me, which was super cool and appreciated. I didn't expect them to do that but it was really nice. Finally, one of the AC people said that the problem was the fuse box over here and we had to have an electrician out. 2-10 located an electrician and the wires were fixed, and the AC has been working since then.

Greetings Nicole. Thank you for being so cooperative with our staff as we worked to get you proper assistance with this recent claim. Due to your clam disposition, we were able to resolve this issue for you quickly and correct some of our mistakes.

I bought a home in Arizona and part of the seller agreement was a home warranty. My realtor provided a couple of different options and I decided to go with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. It seemed like their top program was all-inclusive, so I thought that for the price and for what they claimed to have covered, it would be a good choice. I have been covered with 2-10 since March 2017 and I've submitted a couple of claims with them for the Arizona home. The phone time wasn’t as long and they were able to do a payout versus a replacement of something that I had wanted, so it worked out and it was very convenient.
Recently, I had to check a work order on my refrigerator to see if they could come out and check it. I made a phone call, but that phone call took a little too long. I just did it online and it was convenient for that work order, and the person that was gonna do the work got in touch with me quickly. They contacted me in less than 48 hours.
I also had a track system that burnt out and initially, they said it was something electrical. They had it fixed, but the track went out again. They told me how much it would cost to do the Kim Lighting, so I decided to go with Kim Lighting instead of a track. The contractor that came out for the lights was great. 2-10 said that they could cut me a check and they would close out the work order, so I sent in the payment difference of a hundred bucks and it was good. However, when I had a toilet that was leaking, it was not covered. So, I had to pay out of pocket to have that replaced. But when I had another claim to replace my water heater that had died and had flooded the garage, 2-10 replaced the water heater and it went really well. So far, 2-10 has been good. I haven't had any issues. I just wish that if there is a high volume of phone calls, they will have the callback option. I like the online work order submission process though because that's easy.

Originally, 2-10 seemed very easy to use and had good communication- nice service request online feature. First claim- AC repair- assigned contractor immediately. Took 5 days for them to call me and set up appointment. canceled. 2nd contractor assigned, called back, made appointment. No show- said the van broke down. Rescheduled. Next day, no-call, no-show. No call-back to apologize. 2-10 agreed that was unacceptable, assigned a 3rd contractor, and filed complaint with second one.
Third contractor wasn't available for 4-5 days. Meanwhile, it's been 3 weeks, 80+ degrees in my home, losing sleep. So, I chose an out-of-network contractor who was available next day. Was on hold for 1+ hour with 2-10 to try to get authorization prior to fix. Now, they will only reimburse 20% of cost. I will NOT be renewing my home warranty contract. I prefer to call recommended, high quality contractors myself- and pay out of pocket than use their unprofessional, unreliable contractors. BAD experience- does not have the homeowner's best interest.

Hi there Stephanie. We appreciate your feedback on here and also for reaching out to us on Facebook with your claim experience.

We’ve been with 2-10 for one year and submitting claims with them has been very quick and helpful. We usually call them over the phone and their reps are courteous and knowledgeable. One contractor that they sent was bad though. He said that there was nothing he could do for a plumbing issue because he couldn't find the lead valve. He was here for five minutes, didn’t look around and didn't do anything for $300. But then after that, every other person was good. One guy got here quickly and put a Band-Aid on a plumbing issue. He told me that he would probably not be able to fix without digging but he fixed it for us.

Thank you for the wonderful review Thomas. We apologize for the difficulty you had with one of our contractors but we are relieved to hear that your claim ended up resolved. Thank you for participating in our review collection feature and we hope to continue providing you with quality service moving forward.

My realtor recommended 2-10 even though she hasn't used it so I decided to go with them. One rep recommended that I get the whole package and get the stuff for my garage but I'm in a townhouse and I don't have a garage. If I had enough money to buy it, I would have. I've filed a couple of claims and it was okay. The last one we had was with a plumbing company that was their go-to for my area and they were not great. I had a year paid for through the home buying process as that's all the sellers would cover but I'm no longer under 2-10 coverage.

Hi there Neal. Thank you for the review of your experience with our warranty. We are very sorry you were disappointed with the plumbing company in your region.

Put in original work order to have AC serviced on 9/28 (Tuesday). Waited 2 days and then left message with assigned contractor to follow-up, as I had not received any scheduling follow-up. Several more days elapsed and contractor left message that they did not receive a work order in their system. So, I put in another call for follow-up on 10/5 (keep in mind this is an AC issue and I live in AZ where temps are still 100+). Original contractor calls on 10/5 to advise it would be another week before scheduled visit could occur. I then contact 2-10 to advise this is unacceptable as it would be 2+ weeks to even get an appointment. Requested to speak to supervisor after agent basically said "you need to keep waiting".
Supervisor, Janice (if that is her real name) proceeded to do absolutely nothing to provide basic customer service skills. Refused to do anything (not even provide a basic apology for original contractor not following up to schedule the appointment). Supervisor refused to provide any options, other than saying I could wait another week for another contractor and I would absolutely not be offered any other option but finding my own contractor and be reimbursed (possibly). Not the first negative experience with 2-10 staff, but will definitely be my last. Company needs to do some serious reflection on what it means to provide basic customer service to their customers, we have a choice on which warranty companies to use for our home warranty needs.

I purchased a house in June 2018. While writing a contract, I requested the seller provide a home warranty. At closing, I was told I had a home warranty. Two months later, I found I had a leak in the roof, which dampened the ceiling in my spare bedroom. When I went into the attic to look, it was obvious someone had sprayed sealer on the underside of the roof in an attempt to fix a leak.
When I contacted 2-10 to check on coverage, I was told I had no extended warranty, only the remainder of the builder's warranty. After talking to several people with 2-10, none could answer my question of the coverage on a previously covered repair. I talked to my real estate agent, and she put me in contact with a supervisor. After talking to the supervisor, I received an email from her which was obviously sent to me in error, as it was alluded to me not understanding it was not covered.
I sent this email to my real estate agent, telling her of the service I was receiving from a company she recommended. Shortly thereafter, I received an email back from the supervisor stating the email was not meant for me, that it was regarding another claim. Either way, 2-10 has an issue with dealing with claims, and it seems like they would rather deny than assist. My real estate agent was able to obtain a warranty for me, but I will not be considering them for future coverage.

Greetings Mike. Thank you for offering feedback on your experience. We want to first apologize for the difficulty you had getting your questions answered, and then the accidental email sent to you. In regards to your roof leak, the failure occurred due to an exposed nail between the ridge gaps on the roof. Unfortunately, you were outside your workmanship policy. Therefore, coverage could not be applied to remedy this issue. Despite the lack of coverage, we already issued to you money to cover an ineligible repair as a gesture from our company. We also let you know already that if you felt this was an unfair solution, you could always file a dispute with our New Homes department. If you are interested in doing so, please give us a call. We apologize again for some of the issues you faced, but we hope you understand that we have already gone outside of your contract to assist you with your claim. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you give our organization another chance to do better.

The gentleman that had the house before I did had 2-10 coverage. I went ahead and renewed the coverage. I had an appliance claim which I called in. The claims representative was fine and it took about a week for a technician to get here after the claim was filed. However, my experience with the contractor wasn't the best. They did not come on time. It took several times for them to schedule the service. They schedule it then they couldn't make it, so they cancelled. They finally came, and then, they had to order the part and the same thing happened again. It took forever for the part to arrive, but the repair went fine once the part arrived.

Hi Roger. I am sorry that your experience with the contractor wasn't the best. I am happy however to hear you are satisfied with your repair. Thank you for the continued support despite this claim not going as smoothly as you may have hoped.

Bought our house in August and paid for the upscale 2-10 coverage (or so I was told) and the hot water became only warm water 5 weeks later. Our local plumber thought the old water heater had become compromised and needed replacing, but I went to our new warranty company to repair or replace. They sent a disinterested serviceman who rushed through his diagnostics, but did manage to get hot water coming from most of the taps after what seemed to be wiggling some wires/connections at the heater. He rushed off to another customer saying he did all he could.
Our claim was then thrown out by 2-10 as our heater was too big and somehow not covered (never saw any fine print on this), and then reported that connections were reversed on the heater (a 20-yr-old heater suddenly reversed connections?). I called and complained to 2-10 questioning the quality of the workers they sent into my home. They held firm — and now so will I — farewell 2-10. I’m going to find a real warranty company, not this sham called 2-10. I encourage everyone to stay away.

Hi there Bruce. According to section 13 of the terms and conditions on your service agreement “We do not repair or replace appliances classified as a commercial grade by the manufacturer or deemed commercial style residential units. Furthermore, we do not repair or replace heating and air conditioning units over five tons.” Your unit is an 80-gallon electric water heater and deemed commercial. In addition, your contractor stated in his report that the hot and cold water lines were crossed. This was improper installation/improper previous repair and would also not be covered under section 12 of the terms and conditions in your warranty agreement. This could have occurred during a repair someone did before you moved into the home and was not caught until our service provider came to work on your unit. We however appreciate your concern with our contractor’s workmanship but regardless of the second denial, your unit would still be denied due to its size. If you have any follow up questions or concerns, please feel free to call us again. We are disappointed to read your disagreement with this denial, and we hope you do not end up terminating service. If you do, we wish you the best of luck and thank you for the feedback.

We had a year with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty and hadn’t had any issue, so we bought an extra year. Their claim process has been fairly easy and doing it online is easier but when I'm having issues, it's easier to talk to a person. We had a few problems with the providers though. There was an issue with our air conditioner and it took them almost three months to get it fixed because we went through four providers. One person came out and said it was too complicated for him. It needed a new coil but he thought there was a leak in the line and didn’t figure that out. The next person came out and he said that he needed a second opinion, even though he was the second opinion.
Another person came out and we never heard from him again and then finally, I called 2-10 and they sent out whoever their highest rated person in the area was who knew what the problem was. Luckily, it was in February, so it wasn’t too bad. Also, we only paid the $75 the first time. I also paid for some cleaning and maintenance that was not covered but that was fine. During another time, we had a plumbing issue and 2-10 had one person come out that did a great job. Overall, 2-10’s customer service is really good. Like once I finally called and talked to a person, they were like, "We had to get this fixed for you." So, I appreciate that.

Hi there Hope. Thank you for the feedback on your experience with our organization. We are so sorry for the delays you faced with the contractors we originally assigned to your claim.

I bought a house about a year ago and my ex-girlfriend got a hold of 2-10. Everything that needed to be fixed and for everything I needed, 2-10 was there. I submit claims over the phone and the reps have been great and helpful. The contractors contact us very quickly within two business days or on the same day that I file the claim. Sometimes I call on the weekend and it takes until Monday for somebody to show up. But everything works out really well. The contractors are very professional too. However, there was one contractor that I felt like all he wanted to do was to overuse the insurance and I felt a little uncomfortable. But overall, everybody's great and awesome.
A first-time homeowner should use 2-10 because the house has a lot of issues that they don’t realize will occur, like a toilet that leaks or a water heater that leaks. And 2-10 really takes care of the issue that first-time owners don’t know about. It is a very reliable warranty that everybody should absolutely look into. I really appreciate 2-10 and I recommend it to anybody.

Greetings Min. We sincerely appreciate hearing that we have helped take care of you as a first-time homeowner. Thank you for being so cooperative with our team and being such a wonderful homeowner to work with. Please let us know if you ever need any assistance with a claim and we will do our best to accommodate you. Thank you.

I bought a house and my seller bought 2-10 insurance as part of settlement. Less than a month after move-in, my fridge started leaking and not cooling. I called 2-10, I should have know something was not right when the rep offer me a $100 rebate if I buy a new refrigerator out of my pocket, which makes absolutely no sense at all. But I was setup with a contractor that would not be available until three weeks later, which did not work for my leaking refrigerator. I called 2-10 again stressing how important is it I get someone in ASAP because my wooden floor is going to get damage by the leaking fridge. 2-10 made me aware that they are not responsible for any damages external damages.
The rep referred me to another contractor and guarantee to me that this new contractor will be able to come to my house that day or the next day. The following day I called 2-10 after not hearing from the contractor. The rep told me that it is out of their control that I haven't be able to be paired up with a contractor that can help me. I requested to talk with a manager, I was placed on the phone with a supervisor named Shadee, who had a attitude because I was irritated that no one has been to my house in over a week now and my fridge is still leaking.
Finally 2-10 set me up with another contractor that was suppose to call me and never called me. I finally received a phone call from a rep that said I can pick a contracted, and I would have to pay the contractor out of my pocket and submit the paperwork and might get reimburse (again why have insurance if you "might" reimburse me). When I tried to explain to the rep that, that does not make sense, she tells me, that she had to pay on her car insurance for repair before the insurance would cover it, so I let know her to re-evaluate her car insurance company. I can't wait for this contract to be over so I can get a reliable home warranty.

I bought a home and 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was included with the purchase. The renewal was by default and in December, it will be my third year with them. With 2-10, they say they cover things but when I filed a claim for one of those things, they didn’t cover it. I had two different claims and one of them was covered. For the other claim, my heating system was making a noise that it shouldn't be making so I called to make an appointment with their contractor. However, the contractor never called me back.
Finally, I called 2-10 and they said that the reason the contractor didn’t call me was that the contractor backed out, even though 2-10 was the one who sent them to come. They also said that the claim should not be covered so it ended up in a debate. They were saying that they don’t cover noises on something but then they are also saying that if somebody comes and finds out that the reason of the noise is a mechanical problem, they will cover the mechanical problem. I got a different company and paid them on my own to get what the problem was. They said it was mechanical so I called 2-10 and told them that. I called 2-10 to pay for the labor but they said they don't cover that either. I ended up just giving up. Eventually, my heating system was repaired but I paid for it myself.

Hi there Anastasia. Thank you for the review. Unfortunately, we do not cover issues with a unit just based on noise alone. There has to be a failure that occurs in order for the unit to be repaired. However, since there was an issue that ended up being fixed, we will take a look at this again and see if there is any way to reimburse you for the work done. If there is something we can do, we will give you a callback and let you know.
Original Review: Sept. 28, 2018
I bought a house in May and the seller included a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for one year. 4 months later I started having water coming out of the floor drain, the drinking water filtration system was leaking, and also found a faucet outside that wasn't working correctly so I submitted one claim for all 3 items. They are only covering the outdoor faucet and are basically telling me they are doing me a favor for covering it. The pipe had froze and broke and I was supposed to know to do maintenance, I haven't even spent a winter in this house yet! So next time it would not be covered.
The floor drain is not covered because of maintenance...those are supposed to be cleaned regularly. I said I know but the drain is clogged, I don't think it got like this in 4 months. My policy says that drain stoppages that can be cleared with a regular sewer pipe are covered. On the phone the person told me that's basically snaking a drain. I said yep, which is what needs done...so how is this different? Well...mine is maintenance.
The person on the phone somehow said because of the filtration system (that's for drinking water), that shows that snaking the drains are maintenance. I then said, "How is it maintenance after 4 months?" Obviously the previous homeowner didn't maintain the drain and now it's clogged. The person on the phone then told me if the issue is from something before the warranty period, it isn't covered. I said, "Then what is the point of this warranty because it's to cover issues that come up in the house that I JUST bought?!"
I asked for details of what a drain stoppage was and why mine wasn't covered. I was told it's complicated and again...mine was maintenance because of the filtration system. I explained those two things do not impact one another in any way...and still the same answer. It's maintenance. I was on the phone for an hour and got nowhere. I asked if the contractor needed to resubmit the claim with more information and was told that wasn't necessary. I asked if the claims should be submitted separately and was told no. At the end I was told to have my contractor contact them, I asked the person for their name so I could tell my contractor and she would not give it to me. The plumber did contact them to clarify the issue and they still won't cover snaking the drain because it's a maintenance issue and cannot provide examples as to what is included in their policy for drain stoppages.
I was considering extending my warranty after the period is up. But the person on the phone was so rude, almost treating me like I am trying to take advantage of the system to get things covered. I'm just trying to understand and repeating the word maintenance does not answer my question. I also received two voicemails letting me know that the outdoor faucet is covered...but don't do it again (even though I didn't do anything the first time), and the other one saying that the floor drains are not covered and they don't do those kind of things. I was also told their policy is really more for appliances and HVAC systems. I will not be extending my warranty with this company.

2-10 was included when we bought the house and we only had it for a year. I usually submitted claims online or called it in and it was fine. They were responsive when I called and they always got somebody out here. However, I was very irritated because 90% of the claims I called in wasn't covered. Once, they claimed it was something that we did. We had a pipe break in half while we were trying to change a shower head, and the plumber that came out said that was a homeowner cost and there was no way the pipe was faulty. We had to pay them outright to fix it. Plus the device that we were given was poor and incorrect.
The way that 2-10 has the warranty worded, they don't cover anything unless it's something completely egregious. One time a microwave broke and they couldn't fix it, but they covered it. With the dishwasher, we had service three times and the first time, they couldn't find anything wrong. The second time, they had to replace a whole bunch of things, but we just tore it out and it was not functioning again as well. Another time, the plumbing under our sink kept leaking, and the plumber came in and said, "It's just because this is the way it does this, so you have to make sure you don't turn it on too hard." He didn't fix the problem.

Greetings Rhana. Thank you for offering your feedback. We do apologize for the upsetting first claim denial but we want to reassure you that your service is not only designed to cover "egregious" breakdowns. We do try to repair before replace and we do have exclusions which we can understand can be very frustrating. All and all we do cover up to 25,000 in repairs/replacements in our basic plan and we hope to be able to help you in the future with any other issues come about. Given that your recent unit is still not fixed, this claim has been escalated. Someone from our team will give you a call to try and figure out your claim's next steps.

So I had the company 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty call me to renew. I was unsure at the time. I wanted to make sure if I did get a warranty, it would cover the majority of the big expense items in my home. The sales agent advised that the majority of the things I was asking about HVAC, Appliances, Plumbing and Electrical were all covered. I even went more low level and asked about things like appliance accessories, duct-work, and electrical outlets. He pointed me in the direction of where it was all covered in the agreement. That satisfied me and they retained me as their customer.
Now I have a problem, A leak in my HVAC a cracked overflow pan/tray which caused flooding in my basement. It also has saturated the duct coming out of the machine to the wall. (easily accessible). I called to get an update and they NOW advised that my duct-work would not be covered. I pointed her to the terminology in my coverage where myself AND the sales rep saw it. "INCLUDED, UP TO TWO SYSTEMS: Centrally ducted refrigeration systems, including heat pumps. Geothermal and water source system. Evaporative coolers and built-in electric wall units. Thermostats. Ductwork, modification of plenum when necessary to effect an eligible repair. Crane cost. Upgrades to maintain compatibility and/or compliance with SEER or refrigerant standards."
As you can see, there is a comma after "Ductwork" listing out the items that are covered. They are not in agreement with my understanding of this as well as their sales reps understanding of this.

I've been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for eight years now, ever since I had my home. When I have a claim, I submit it over the phone. I don't like dealing with the automated system, so I press zero and I get a live person on the line. The work of the companies they send has been fine. In March, I had a claim for our dishwasher. It couldn't be fixed so 2-10 did the replacement on it. However, the dishwasher is still sitting in my living room floor since March. Then, the last company that came for my leaking AC seemed to have gone farther than anybody else. They always say that they couldn't figure out what’s wrong with my unit. So, they started doing various things trying to figure that out. They have a part on order now that they’re trying to get in, so they can hopefully get the unit fixed. But overall, I have been satisfied with 2-10. I would recommend them.

Hi there Vashita. Thank you so much for your feedback on your overall experiences with our warranty. We genuinely appreciate your cooperation and loyalty to our company. You are the kind of customer that makes us proud of the work we do. I am concerned to read how long you have been waiting for some of these claims to be resolved. I am going to escalate this to our team to try and expedite a solution for you. Someone from our team will give you a call this weekend or Monday at the latest. We will be in touch soon. Thank you.

Called in potential claim due to sewer backup (caused by pipes outside house) and a kitchen drain (inside house due to grease buildup). Was told by 2-10 rep on phone that outside lines not covered due to our not purchasing that endorsement; I understood. Was told that a contractor would need to look at the kitchen drain to determine coverage. Appointment scheduled and contractor arrived a couple days later. He looked at it, spend significant time on the phone and came back to advise that it was covered but that they would need to come back with supplies and tools to make the repair - likely by Monday, and charged me the $100 fee.
Wednesday I still hadn't heard back so I escalated with 2-10, who just called me back and stated repair is not covered. They have no record of a call where the contractor called last week and was told it was approved. We had renters and we were finalizing return of their deposit. I authorized all but $100 based on the contractor's feedback, and now I'm out the entire cost of the repair. We used 2-10 referred contractor because I was told we could feel confident in what they told us would be covered - obviously not. The contractor was Toth Plumbing in Asheville, NC. The 2-10 agent added that the contractor offered to do the work for me for what they would have done it for 2-10 and told me the price, but based on the conflicting information about coverage, I will not trust either of those parties.

Hi there Donna. Thank you for leaving a review on your recent claim experience.

I was having plumbing issues but I couldn’t combine multiple similar claims online with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. I had to call in to do that. When the plumber came out, we showed him what we needed to be done and he went over what he was gonna do. In our bathtub, he had to fix behind the drain and it worked fine. The problem is it's not flushed with the wall now. One could see the pipe behind the faucet, which is not really bringing it back to its original use.
The plumber got things up to a functional level and the sinks in our bathrooms are much better off than they were. However, he never replaced the stopper in the drain of one bathroom in my bedroom, but it worked much better than it was than the faucet. We also had issues with some other faucets that are spraying and were clearly not working well but 2-10 wouldn't cover those, according to the plumber. That is part of the reason why we probably aren't gonna renew. We had another issue with our AC coils needed to be replaced and we had to get people out here multiple times to get it fixed.
It really came off to us that 2-10 was just trying to save some pennies when the issue was clearly needed to be addressed. It wasn't a big fix that should’ve been done, but 2-10 wouldn't cover. This is part of the purchase of our house and we would stick with it and keep going if we had a good experience, but we didn't, and not necessarily with the contractors they used, but with 2-10 in general. So, we don't see ourselves going back to that in the future.

Problem with fridge started a week ago. Called company almost every day. First few people assured me they would find a contractor near me or buy out my fridge so I could replace it so I have a fridge for my children. Called today 3 times to see if internet search team found anyone since it had been 3 days since hearing anything. I was told I could find an out of network contractor on my own since they could not locate a contractor. I am unable to find one. I explained this to them and was told without a diagnosis from a contractor they would only give me $100 to replace my fridge. This would not even touch the cost of my fridge. The agent kept telling me that us all they can do without a diagnosis so my family is without a fridge and I am paying for a useless warranty. So frustrating.

We’ve tried several times to get a few things repaired with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. We submit the claims over the phone and the reps have been fine and very helpful. Our dishwasher repairs went fine, but some other claims didn’t go so well. We had some shifty characters come out through 2-10, so we have stopped using them for things like AC repair in our area. We had one guy come out for our AC unit, but within 30 minutes after he left, we had a leak through the ceiling. Instead of clearing a drain, he just left it clogged, so when the ice that had melted up off our AC foil has melted, it started dripping through our ceiling.
The second time we saw somebody else, he showed up drunk. The 2-10 rep had taken our side over things and said they would write that contractor off of their list. We were also given some money back for those contractors who went out and ever since the leak, we got our AC fixed by someone else. It takes a little bit longer to get somebody out with 2-10 and that can be frustrating.

Hi there Tirtha. It’s unfortunate you weren’t satisfied with the offer we made. When finding a replacement unit, we compare the features of your current unit to find a comparable replacement. It looks like you accepted the replacement unit we offered to you. We understand that some homeowners prefer to select a new unit of their choice, that’s why we also gave the option of taking a buyout for $236.

When we bought the house, we agreed to get the home Warranty, and at the end of the year, we paid to extend it. We have been in the house about 18 months. The house is was built 4 years ago, the appliances are only 3 1/2 years old. The LG refrigerator came with the house when we purchased it. Last week, the refrigerator stopped cooling. We were not the original purchasers of the refrigerator. (Again, it came with the house). I called 2-10 and it took a week to get a tech out to look at it. The tech didn't do much, just listened, and said that it was the condenser.
The tech left and called the next day. He said the part was covered under the manufacturer's warranty. He also said that 2-10 would not pay for the coverage for the labor... It's in the fine print. The labor would be about $750. I called 2-10 and they said 'read the fine print' -- it's not covered. Net net, I have a refrigerator that doesn't work, and a home warranty that doesn't work. Stay away. There are a lot of warranty companies out there. You might want to use one that doesn't had so much fine print. It's time to cancel the policy and get in touch with the BBB. This happened the last time I called with a problem with our cooling system. After paying the deductible, the repair company called back and said 2-10 wouldn't pay. It was in the fine print.

Hi there Mike. We are very sorry to hear you are disappointed with this claim decision. Unfortunately, because you are under the manufacturer's warranty, we cannot cover anything.

We cannot interfere with a unit that is already insured. Thank you for your review and we hope you understand. Have a great day!

My name is Renee **, I live in Stockbridge GA. On Dec 11 2015 I bought a three year home warranty from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10 HBW), it covered my AC & Furnace and all appliances. I pay $75 and the Warranty fixes my unit, sounds good, well... The 2-10 HBW website states under Air Conditioner/Freon Split System "Our coverage includes upgrades required to meet government mandates regarding efficiency and refrigerant standards."
On Sunday Sept 9 2018 my AC started blowing hot air so I called in service request. The Warranty company sent out Air Design AC and Heating on Monday Sept 10 2018 to fix my AC. My AC unit sits outside the house on the left side of the garage. The technician came and found the evaporator coil which is located onto of my furnace in the attic was leaking Freon. He wrote up a receipt when I gave him a check for the $75 that the evaporator coil was leaking freon. Per my warranty the evaporator coil is covered by the warranty at no cost to me.
I didnt hear from the Air Design by Wed Sept 11 2018 so I called. The receptionist said they were waiting to hear from 2-10 HBW. Thursday Sept 12 2018 2-10 HBW called me saying I had to approve $598 of nonwarranty worked that Air Design AC & Heating said was due to government code regulations. I said what govt code regulations, 2/10HBW could not answer, so they called Air Design AC & Heating and left a message. On Tues 18 Sep 2/10 HBW left a voice mail message for me stating they had not heard back from Air Design and said I should call them. I still have the message. So I emailed Air Design four times and called three times and also called 2-10 HBW several times.
Finally today Air Design called me back, they told me that $598 of nonwarranty costs are required by gov't regs. I asked what regs, they told me City of Stockbridge regs, then changed to Henry County regs to replace the evaporator coil sitting on top of my furnace. Costs they want to charge me when they replace the evaporator coil on top of the furnace which has no impact to the SEER rating, but according to AIR Design replacing the evaporator coil requires the following. None of this $598 costs are needed to replace the coil.n
$158 for Supply and modification? Supposedly to upgrade my 10 SEER unit to 14 SEER, $128 for drain pan... I already have a drain pan under the furnace. $40 for a float switch, my warranty covers the float assembly which includes the switch. $50 for haul cost, $58 for freon reclaim, $60 for drain line modification, Supposedly to upgrade my 10 SEER unit to 14 SEER, $112 for Line Set Modification, Supposedly to upgrade my 10 SEER unit to 14 SEER.
After my conversation with Air Design and then 2-10 HBW I called the an AC company and he told me evaporator coils do not have SEER ratings. That replacing the coil in a 10 SEER unit does not change it to 14 SEER unit. I would have to buy a new unit to get a 14 SEER unit! This fellow said, "Get your model number and check online for how much a new coil would cost.
2-10 HBW were supporting everything Air Design said, once I checked online I realized the 2-10 HBW and Air Design were trying to recoup the cost of the evaporator coil by scamming me to unknowingly pay for it. The even bigger scam I just found out today that the Federal government in January 2015 no more installation of 13 SEER AC units! That regulation went into effect 11 months before 2-10 HBW sold me three years of warranty coverage, what a scam! Please help I need my AC unit fixed, they count on a woman to be desperate and just pay. I sent this same email to an investigative reporter in Atlanta. This company is a disgrace, the only numbers published are to a call center that does nothing.
Updated on 09/29/2018: I am hoping I am mistaken about this, but the more I search the internet the more I realize I got scammed. Air Design AC and Heating sent a fellow out with the part to repair my AC, the evaporator coil, etc. This was supposed to be 14 Seer unit with a conversion to allow R22 freon to be used; I paid $486 for the parts and modifications to fit my system that weren't done.
Anyway Jennifer (2/10 HBW) told me she had ordered Goodman parts for my HVAC which I was pleased to hear since I have an Amana system. Why she wasnt ordering Amana parts I don't know, but Goodman ensured a good fit to my existing system. Jennifer said she had contacted Maurice (Air Design AC and Heating) telling him he could pick up the Goodman parts from the warehouse. Well Daniel and Jose who work for Maurice, not sure if either are licensed in GA, came by at noon to replace the coil and other parts. Instead they took my whole Amana system off saying the coil and everything was in the 'casing' and they were installing the whole new unit. I picked up an installation sheet that had a ADP warranty to register.
I watched all the work being done and after they left I filled out the warranty. Then I realized the install sheet didn't say Goodman, but again thought this was a distribution facility for 2/10 HBW. It also did not state the SEER rating or tonnage. I had company drop by and then later tonight I started googling. ADP makes universal generic AC equipment, it isn't a distribution center for 2/10 HBW. So I got some generic equipment and Air Design took my system and the Goodman parts and probably used it somewhere else. And I paid $486 for retrofitting the Goodman parts to my Amana system because of the 14 SEER parts. Per the internet the model number on the install sheet for the generic ADP parts are 13 SEER which you can supposedly modify and upgrade to higher SEER.
I just emailed Maurice about the ADP case & coil, whether they installed Goodman parts, and what is the SEER rating etc. I hope I am wrong, but this whole mess with Air Design has been a nightmare. Even after Jennifer spoke to Maurice about not charging me $112 for line modification and he agreed, Maurice had his folks call me and say that I had to agree to pay those additional charges if I wanted to get on the schedule. I had to call Jennifer and she had to get a three way conference call before he would say "Yes that's right he wasn't charging the $112." And 2/10 HBW made me deal with this man and wait three weeks to get my AC fixed, HMPF.

I called 2-10 to report a leak from what we believed to be our upstairs shower drain. All proceeded smoothly, a plumber was dispatched within a few days and he seemed quite competent. The plumber said he’d need to cut a hole in our garage ceiling drywall to diagnose the issue. While he was cutting this hole, I called 2-10 customer support to make sure the repair of this hole he was cutting would be covered. The support person I spoke with kindly assured me they would pay for the repair at no additional charge to us. Super right? The plumber said he needed to cut an additional hole in out laundry room ceiling to get a better view.
Based upon the assurance that 2-10 would pay for the repair, I said sure, whatever you need to do. It turned out the leak was not from the drain and was actually not something covered under our warranty, so we paid a handyman to come fix our issue. Fast forward 4 weeks when I returned from my business trip and called 2-10 to put in the drywall repair request. The representative I spoke with, Andrew, told me, "Oh no, they don’t send someone out, they just send me a check for $75.00 to hire someone to fix it." I said , "Wait, I was assured you would send someone to fix it at no additional cost to me, I highly doubt I can hire someone to patch the two big holes in our ceilings, retexture, and repaint them to look as they originally did." He replied all he could do was send us the $75.00 check for a “rough repair”.
At this point I asked to speak with a supervisor. I sat on hold for over 30 minutes, with Andrew came back on sporadically to let me know he was checking with his review team who were telling him again, all they would cover was the $75.00 check. Elizabeth, a floor supervisor, finally came on the line and told me the same thing. I notified her if her answer was still that they wouldn’t honor what I was assured regarding our drywall repair by one of their representatives I would be filing a complaint with the BBB. She said that was fine and she understood my frustration but all they could do was send me a $75.00 check.

It was just the scheduling that was the worst part of it, having to go three days without the air-conditioning working. Nevertheless, it's always best to have a home warranty.

I have a less than two year old LG Side by side refrigerator/freezer. On 8/11/2018 I placed a service call because it was no longer cooling or freezing. LG's warranty is only 1 year, even though their compressors carries a 5 year warranty. 2-10 dispatched a service company, however when they called me to schedule, they said they are not authorized to work on LG (closed systems). So I contacted 2-10 to explain this, they dispatched another company. When contacted by the 2nd company, I inquired about LG and closed systems, and was told that they don't service these units either... More than a week since my original call had passed and I still hadn't seen a service contractor.
I spoke to customer service and they tried for two additional days to locate a contractor unsuccessfully. Their suggestion was for me to find somebody to fix my refrigerator "out of network", having been through this process with 2-10 before (when I wasn't willing to wait 2 weeks during the summer for service on my A/C) when I located a company that could do the work and received their quote, I called 2-10 to make sure they would cover the service call and estimated repairs. I spoke with Jared (they won't tell you their last names) and Jared authorized the initial service call for up to $150 to diagnose. I mentioned to Jared, that the company that was coming almost exclusively works on LG and based on our conversations they anticipated that they would be replacing the compressor and evaporator (parts are covered by LG) but labor was $350-400, so could he tell me if that was going to be covered.
No need to waste the contractor's time to come out to my house to confirm what he with a high degree of certainty believes is the problem if you aren't going to approve the repair. Jared didn't want to tell me what 2-10 would cover "hypothetically". Finally after 30 minutes of back and forth, he admitted that for this type of repair, that the labor cost was in the range of what could be approved. The service contractor came the next day 8/28, 17 days after I initially reported this to 2-10. Sure enough, the problem was a failed compressor. The contractor ordered the parts and would return to replace the compressor when the parts came in. Saturday 9/15/2018 the contractor arrives at my house to fix my refrigerator that I have now been without for over a month. I call 210 and after 40 minutes on hold, finally get transferred to claim authorization.
I explain the whole situation over again. I put the contractor on the phone with 2-10. He explains what he is onsite to repair, confirms the model and serial number of the unit and after a brief hold of 5 minutes, the authorization is denied because the compressor is covered under a manufacture's warranty. I was understandably upset, as this was exactly the situation I was trying to avoid when I scheduled my own contractor in the first place. This put me the customer between 2-10 and a contractor that I had to hire. This might be what no qualified contractors choose to work with 2-10. 2-10 maintains that in some fine print somewhere their warranty does not cover "parts" that are covered under manufacturers warranty, not appliances, parts...
I could not get the customer service representative, or his supervisor Trinka (also would give me her last name) to understand that this was precisely why people buy home warranties. When I asked for someone who had more authority to intervene in this situation, I was told there was nobody else at 2-10 who would see this situation any differently. I'm not certain Trinka understands what customer service means. I paid the contractor, because I when I tell someone something, I honor my commitment. I intend to cancel my home warranty with 2-10 and file a formal complaint with the BBB. 2-10 should be ashamed of these practices.

I was buying the house with the warranty from 2-10 and I have them for almost one year now. I recently submitted a claim with them over the phone and my experience was good. Their reps were interactive and scheduling the service with their contractor was fine. And since the repair, my appliance has been working. But when I called them before for a plumbing issue, the techs were not able to make it out until a week after. And at that time, the guy closed the main water, so I didn't do the service with them because they were so late and I had to use the water. When it is really an emergency, they have to make it faster because I cannot stay at home without water. At the time, their rep said the contractor would be out for at least four or five days and I cannot do that, so I used another service.

All this is happening on a Friday which means if he doesn't show up or if I want to protest then I go another weekend without hot water. I am extremely unhappy with the 2-10. The plumber showed up at 6 pm and was mad because it was a Friday night. He was suppose to be at my house at noon that day. The whole experience was a big mess.

Hi there Nancy. I am concerned to hear about the conflicting information you are receiving from us and your contractor.

We used to have 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. One time, we a broken pipe in our air-conditioned room. All the carbon monoxide gas came out and it was very dangerous. So, I called 2-10 and asked them to fix it. Their rep then gave me their vendor's number. However, it took me two weeks to get the pipe fixed because the vendor's technician had to look at the problem and do things step by step. Still, we needed to fix the pipe right away so I called a different company and submitted a claim for reimbursement after that. But then, they didn't approve my request for reimbursement because I had to go by the vendor instead. That cost a lot of money. Because of this incident, I think 2-10 Home Buyers is the worst.

Greetings Hnin. Thank you for the feedback on your claim experience. We are so sorry to have disappointed you with your claim outcome by not covering your the reimbursement for the work you had done on your unit.

My mortgage people suggested 2-10 warranty. 2-10 was okay. Their reps were helpful but then they just assigned me to a company that really didn't have the best customer service and that was frustrating. I had to leave work early one day and went home, and then nobody ever showed up for my appointment. And then when I tried to resolve it, it seemed to be pretty complicated to get a hold of anybody at that company. When I called 2-10 about it they really couldn't do anything but to send them back out and charge me like an additional fee. But when the contractor came he was very helpful, so that was okay. It's good to have a warranty

Thank you for the review Mallory. We are so sorry for the scheduling conflicts and some of the issues you faced with your contractor. We are relieved to hear that this all was resolved though and we appreciate your continued business.

I’m against homeowners warranties in general. I’ve had them in the past and they were such a pain. They determine who’s gonna repair it and how it’s gonna be repaired. If it requires a replacement, they’re gonna give the cheapest thing on the market, and it's not necessarily what you want. In my previous home five years ago, I had a high-end, built-in equipment and the microwave went out. My home warranty was going to replace it with some off-brand and I said no because I wanted the same thing I got. I ended up buying it myself. It was about a $1,000 and they gave me a $200 credit on it. 2-10 worked the same way. It could be July and they would get somebody out to look at my air conditioner a week later. Then they would say that I needed to get a compressor and that would come from a slow boat from China. A week and a half week later, I would get that part. We let that lapse and I no longer have that policy.
The contractors that came out were nice enough but they were from far away. Under the best of times, our place was about an hour's drive but in high traffic, it could be an hour and a half so they would be the last people in the world I would use. They also had to follow the guidance that they were given. There was a wine cooler in the house and that went bad and they said that wasn’t covered. In the case of the air conditioning repair, you’re never gonna get a new one. This house has three air conditioners and three heat pumps. There were two contractors and one of them needed a new compressor that took forever to get. The other one sprayed some kind of stuff leaking inside the piping, so it would hold the Freon. They were gonna do the cheapest job available.
The insurance was pretty much the same as any other. If you buy one which is not inexpensive, you’re guaranteed of losing money whatever its cost and if you need it, it’s a big pain. I’d much rather not pay for the insurance and if I need a repair, I would get the people I want out here right now. The job will be done right and I’ll pay the price. There are certain insurance that you almost have to have such as car insurance ‘cause you could be sued for who knows how much. Bad things could happen. You could also need homeowners insurance. If your house burns down, that could be catastrophic. But for most people, certainly for me, if my refrigerator craps out, it wouldn’t ruin my life. I’ll just get a new one.

I woke up on Saturday morning to a flooded basement in the home I just moved into 3 weeks ago. I have a standard service agreement that the seller paid for as part of our closing. After checking the service agreement, it does state that the primary sump pump is covered as part of the standard agreement. I called right away on Saturday morning Sept 8th and opened a service request. I asked for an emergency request since my basement was flooded and things were getting ruined. While waiting for them to call me back, I was able to get the water pumped out using our alternate sump pump.
When they did call back I was given the name of a contractor and told I could call them directly. When I called, they were closed so I called 2-10 back and they told me they would add to me to a dispatch list. They finally called back and told me there was no one available in my area and I could go out of network. I was also not able to find anyone to come out. In the meantime, my basement flooded for a second time.
I called again this morning Sept 10 and was told that I was still on the dispatch list and should expect a call today. I did get a call and a contractor was sent to the house. I was informed that the sump pump needed to be replaced but that he needed authorization before he could complete the work and he left. 2-10 then called me and informed me that because of the cost, they had to escalate the case for approval before anything could be done and it could take up to 5 days. In the meantime, the restoration company that needs to get in and complete the clean up and dry out process will not do so until the sump pump is repaired, due to the fact it could flood again.
Now I have sopping wet carpet and furniture that is just sitting and starting to smell and I'm worried about mold growing. This seems to me like an emergency that should be taken care of immediately. My service agreement says sump pumps are covered and there is no mention of a dollar limit for sump pumps. I see it for other things, but not this and why does it take 5 days? It also states in the agreement it's an emergency if the condition endangers health or safety or further damage to the home. I would think that soaking wet flooring would be damaging and mold growth could be a real problem. I'm very upset with the service and want a new sump pump installed immediately! I already paid my $100 service fee!

I've had coverage with 2-10 since I bought my house in December '15 and submitting a claim with them was fairly easy, which I do online. The hardest part about the whole thing to me was when it asked for the serial number for the washer and dryer as some of them may not have it upon the lid. People had to pull it all the way out to look at the back part of it. But other than that, the interactions with the contractor were amazing. He came out and introduced himself. He went straight to work and there were no hesitation and no beating around the bush. He had a very pleasant attitude and was nice throughout the whole event. He explained to me everything that was going on and made sure that I was aware of everything. He also answered any questions that I may have had. It was a great experience.

2-10 did a plumbing repair for me. I called them, they scheduled the appointment, and the service guy came. I paid my deductible, the service guy did his thing, and then 2-10 worked out the balance with him. I have several home warranties with 2-10 and my experience has always been good. Their service contractors have been prompt. They call and schedule a service at my convenience. They call the same day or the next, and they always call 30 minutes out, so that has always been good. I always recommend people to get a home warranty and I always tell them 2-10 is one of the good ones.

I contacted 2-10 after a leak appears from my shower. After waiting on hold with their customer service line (which is always experiencing high volume of calls) they told me that a contractor would contact me in one business day. After the second business day I called them and waited 20 minutes on hold before the call got dropped (not from my end), so I waited another 20 minutes before getting to talk to someone. Who then told them that my request went into a 'dispatcher queue' which takes from 24-32 business HOURS, which I think is meant to mislead people, why else wouldn't you say 3-4 business days?
Also the first time I talked to them there was no mention of this at all. Of course there were no service providers found in my area! Haha and they said if they couldn't find anyone after this dispatcher queue that I could find my own and they would reimburse the retail value, I'm sure that process is even more hellish than trying to get to talk to them. At this point I think I'm going to resolve the problem myself outside of 2-10 and cancel my service, in hopes of getting some of the money wasted back.

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was offered on the house that I purchased. I had coverage for a year but I didn’t renew it after that. During the course of that year, I had two claims. I submitted both of them over the phone and their reps were good. The first claim went really smooth, easy, and very quick. The second one was a little less smooth and there was a lot of back and forth. Plus, there wasn’t any follow-through and that was what caused the problem with the delay. So, the second claim was harder to resolve and was a bit more time-consuming, but it still got resolved satisfactorily. Other than that, the contractors and the service they provided were all good. They showed up on time and were polite and professional.

Prior to the purchase of our home, during our home inspection, we learned that the downstairs A/C unit in our home was 29 years old. It was functioning but obviously inefficient. As a condition of our purchase we asked that the sellers provide us with a (1) one year home warranty. They selected 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty.
It has been an absolutely terrible experience. They charge $100 for every service request and within the first (3) three weeks we contacted them because the upstairs (7) seven year old unit was running constantly. It would never reach the temperature on the thermostat. They sent out a service provider Nu~Air (Pennsauken, New Jersey). That individual stated that all we needed was some coolant, which he provided, and new filters (which he did not install or provide). Keep in mind I had just replaced the filters 3 weeks prior after the move. The upstairs was noticeably cooler afterwards, but we were still having the same issue.
Nu~Air returned (2-10 Home Buyers Warranty waived the $100 fee this time, to their credit, because it was the same problem) and this individual said we had a hole in a hose that was leaking coolant. He did not repair the problem but said that he would contact 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to see what was covered and get back to us. That was (1) one month ago. Since then I have not heard from Nu~Air or 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. I have spent hours on hold because they are impossible to get on the phone unless they call you. It is currently 82 degrees upstairs in my house (It's 79 degrees outside). 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty finally called me back this evening and told me the next available appointment they could get me was next Monday between 11 AM - 6 PM. When I told them this was unacceptable and that I have a pregnant wife and 3 year old daughter in the house she said there was nothing they could do.
To top it all off, we have had utility bills of $600 (June) $800 (July) and $700 (August). I asked if they would reimburse us for at least the latter bill because the delay in service was their fault to which she said that they could not authorize that. After telling her I would take the Monday appointment (5 days) away and hanging up I called the company that was scheduled to service me and they said they had an opening Friday. Interesting that the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty representative could not get me the Friday appointment.
If you are a realtor, buyer, seller, etc. DO NOT RECOMMEND, BUY, OR BUY A HOME that has this company. I have had some great experiences with companies that will do their best to make a situation right (i.e. in this instance cover one of the utility bills, or at least find me an emergency contractor to get the air back working). Clearly that is not the policy or mission of 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty.

On July 25th I submitted service request for my AC. I was assigned a contractor (Air Design A/C & Heating) the same day. The contractor called me on July 26th and scheduled my appointment for the 27th at 11. The contractor told my husband that the evaporator coil was leaking and needed to be replaced. Air Design A/C & Heating told my husband that they needed to send paperwork to your company because it needed to be approved before work could be completed. On August 1st I was emailed a service update email about where my service requested was in the process. I filled it out as I need assistance from 2-10. On August 2nd I received a phone call from an agent from 2-10 saying that Air Design was contacted because they had not sent it the diagnosis and was 2-10 was having a hard time contacting them.
On August 3rd I received a phone saying that Air Design had finally sent in the diagnosis. August 7th I received an email stating that the diagnosis was accepted and I would get a phone call about the next steps. I did get that call and I was told that 2-10 was waiting on prices from Air Design for the job with just the part and prices for replacing the unit. August 8th I received a phone call from your purchasing department stating that I would need to pay $581 to cover parts and disposal that was not covered in my contract. She also stated that 2-10 would purchase the part and before they could do so I would need to pay first. I told her I would give her a call back. On August 9th the contractor called me to let me know that 2-10 had approved the work order and asked if I would accept the out of pocket cost of $693.
I asked that representative why my cost had gone up. She then stated that it did not go up and that was the price that was sent to 2-10 and proceed to give me the breakdown of the cost. I then called you all to find out what happen. Your agent then called Air Design while I was on hold. She came back on the line and stated that the agent had left off $112. I was really upset. She told me that she could reimburse me for the service fee that would be mailed to me and proceed with ordering the part. On August 10th I received a phone call from the same agent on the 9th saying that instead of replacing the evaporator coil, the unit would be replaced. At this time I had already set the date for the work to be done on August 17th between 11 and 3. The agent said once there was prices from Air Design, I would get a call about what my out of pocket cost would be.
I called right back and gentleman said that it would be better to replace the unit but could not give final cost because they were waiting to hear from the contractor. On August 14th I received a phone call from your agent stating that the unit would not be replaced. The evaporator coil would be replaced and he was not sure why I was told that. I called you guys back and your agent sounded just as confused trying to read the notes. She called the contractor and indeed the coil was just being replaced. She did not understand why I was told to pay first, or the unit was be replaced being that the contractor supplies the parts. She also stated to me the contractor would give me a call but that call never came.
This entire process has been a big headache. So many times during this process I was misinformed and the contractor sent to me is not good at all. Between the late phone calls and not so pleasant staff with the contractor to the confusing information from 2-10, I didn’t know what do or what was the right information. This is my second request but the first request for something of this magnitude. I did not enjoy the wait or how it was handled.
Once the repair was complete, the contractor wanted to charge me for work not completed. They wanted to do repairs that were not needed. This is the company that you have doing warranty work. It was bad enough having an AC unit not working properly in 91 degree weather with small children. I was referred to this company by my mother who has had 2-10 for years. After talking to her about my experience, she was very surprised and disappointed. I am really considering taking my business elsewhere.

Last night, my husband and I noticed that our furnace/AC pan was full of water. Due to excessive wait times this am, we could not get through to one of your phone reps. We eventually had to call a local HVAC company because the water was starting to leak onto the floor and we live above another family in a condo bldg and did not want to risk damaging the property below ours as well. We felt this was an urgent matter that could not wait. After a very long wait time, I finally did get through to one of your reps this afternoon while the local HVAC rep was working on the problem. I was told by your rep that since I did not get prior authorization, this repair would not be covered by this out of network vendor, and said that you do not reimburse for any repairs done by out of network vendors, even in emergency situations, which this was.
She was not clear about how we should handle this and kept contradicting herself. She sent us an email with vague information stating something about the contractor calling to get prior authorization, even though I told her he had already been working on the problem and had taken a large part of the equipment apart. She was abrupt and unclear as to what we should do. We don’t understand why there isn’t some type of reimbursement in an emergency situation when we can’t get through because your phone lines are busy for hours. This was a situation that was out of our control. We ended up having to pay our HVAC guy almost $600 for a repair that we feel should have been covered if we could have gotten through to you on your phone line.

Part was not ordered until Tuesday due to contractor providing an outdated part number and a delay in 2-10 confirming the correct part with the contractor. Part is now to arrive in "3-5 days". Temperature has been in low to mid-90s, and inside it's mid to upper 80s. Every call to 2-10 is a 30 - 45 minute holding time.

I had 2-10 for 13 years or more. I submitted my claims with them over the phone and their reps were okay. But I didn't like half of the companies that they sent out. One guy cut a hole in my ceiling to go look at the air conditioner and until today, I still have that hole.

He was on some kind of drug that I called my neighbor to come stay here with me at the time because I live by myself.
All in all, having a home warranty is very valuable because if anything breaks down, you could call somebody. But I was very unhappy with 2-10 because every time they came to do something for me, it seemed like it was never covered under my contract. I paid $800 for that contract and I always had to put out more. So decided I was not putting up with that again this year and got somebody else. The people that I got now seems so much nicer and I paid less. And I had so many people tell me that they are great.

When I was buying my house, 2-10 was referred to me. I researched a little bit, compared them to a couple of others, and decided to go with them instead of anybody else. We renewed it for our second term four months ago. The claim process was very well and the website was simple which should be because you don’t need a lot of stuff to do. You sign on and it tells to file a claim and what you wanna claim. If you get to the very end of the list and what you click is wrong, you might have to type a couple of sentences in. Then, you’re done and you submit a claim.
I was pleasantly surprised because I submitted four claims, and in the first year, we bought a new house and there were features that we wanted. It had expensive kitchen appliances but they were six years old. It had a 13-year old heating unit and aluminum wiring electric. It had things that I needed to watch that were all in good shape. So, when I needed to do something, I went in and hoped that it works good on our first one. Lo and behold, it didn’t work. They were responsive when you put it online and you get a phone call or an email right back which says the person has been notified and that the company was on the way and gonna call. It’s an interactive website that works both ways.
If I file a claim and it's picked up on their end, they send out to their vendor to come to my house and service it. They always tell me who my vendor is, their phone number and when they're gonna be there. They send that email and then the vendor makes the contact, so it's monitored well on the backside. It does no good if I file a claim and nobody's monitoring it. The customer service was okay and took care of us with what we needed to do. It's 100 bucks for someone to come out to my place. They came out and looked at the electric once and my air conditioner once. Fixed it both times for 100 bucks. My refrigerator was acting up, they came out three times and didn't charge me for the second two times because the people couldn't fix it. They decided that the fridge can't be fixed and they bought it out. They didn’t like it because it was an expensive fridge, so they paid a good bit of money for it. That worked really well.
I had a plumbing issue and I called 2-10. They called a plumbing company, who I never heard of before. Usually, I would google that company to make sure that it's a real company. I ended up talking to a supervisor for operations or customer service, but they took note of it. The guy came out, tried to fix my plumbing, and he couldn't fix it. He left and he said he would be back but he never comes back. I called the plumbing company and they said they were kinda busy and would get back to me and be out here the next day. The same guy came back with a new snake and he ran it through the drain. He couldn't fix it, and I asked where he wanted to go. He said he gotta go up on the roof and go through the thing, and they were not allowed to do that. The guy was nice but on the way out the door, he said he was not even really a plumber but a helper they sent out to fill the order.
I called 2-10, and they were very reactive to it. I gave them a brief story and a supervisor called me back and asked if I was serious. He told me to tell him what happened and I told him. I have a warranty, so we don't just call people helter skelter and somebody just comes out, and we don't know who we're talking to or who's coming into my house. One of the reasons we have a warranty is because they hire vendors that are under a contract. They have to provide certain things and they’re vetted in a certain way. 2-10 called me and then I asked them how they were gonna fix it if the guy, who was not a plumber, came here to fix that clogged drain, and did $10,000 worth of damage to my house. 2-10 was very cool and said that they would stand by that.
We talked a little bit about vetting people and whoever I talked to must have been high up because he knew about running a business. They used some of the same things I used to vet people, and I do a lot of stuff for military bases, and a lot of stuff in high-security areas, so they even use some of the tools I use. We had a long conversation, and they were very receptive to it. So, all in all, I was disappointed that that one slipped through the cracks.
They had six or seven service calls at my house in one year. One time it was right after a storm, literally after a hurricane in Jacksonville, Florida here. They sent an electrical company and the guy came out, gave us good advice, did good work and was very professional. It was the same with the air conditioning guy. I knew that company that the plumbing company slipped through, and it got me kinda upset but I ended up renewing with 2-10 because the price was right. I didn't mind it at all.
I was talking with my wife and I told her that we could put the average cost of something, work that formula, put $6,000 or $7,000 in a bank or in the IRA, then if something happens, that's enough for a down payment to fix the most expensive thing in our house such as the roof, an air conditioner or a swimming pool pump. I can get the roof’s down payment to get it started for six grand and then pay it off the next week, and that was our plan. We didn’t need to pay a warranty plan. However, on the first year, we wanted it to make sure there were no bugs in the house. We paid our own home inspector, and we did all of that before we bought it, but we still felt comfortable having that.
When it got around to renewal time, we said that they did a good enough job that they’ve earned our business. They shouldn’t take it lightly when somebody says that and they gotta fix that issue. That was very upsetting to my wife when she found out that guy was in our house twice, and he wasn't even a plumber and he had no paperwork to show he was a plumber. You gotta take that away from them, it was not their fault, but that was their vendor issue which was a major responsibility. When you send a technician to a house, he has to be a technician. Not the shop guy working out at the halfway house for $10 an hour. Whoever goes out to a house, there's gotta be a background check. Nevertheless, they've done very well and I would recommend them to somebody.

Thank you for thorough and well-written review, Scott. We are honored to have received another chance at your business after the mistake we made with your contractor. We are very sorry for your experience and we appreciate you sticking with us to see us do better next time.

When we purchased our house the sellers included a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty coverage. Submitting a claim to them was very simple and I did it online. I got a discount on my new appliance instead of getting a service contractor. My coverage expired back in April but I didn’t renew because it wasn't worth the money. But the experience I had with 2-10 was fine.

A/c went out on Sunday night and 2-10 had someone to the house Monday afternoon. Was told I needed a new compressor (just had it replaced by 2-10 a little over a year ago) and that the motor locked up. Tech told me since they are back logged the soonest someone would see my request would be Thursday. I messaged 2-10 Wednesday morning to let them know the downstairs area is reading 85 degrees, my autistic brother sleeps in the hottest room in the house. They finally call, tells me everything the tech said about the a/c unit, and that they don’t cover cleaning for the unit and they would not do repair work without it. Why did it take for me to call to find that out? Was told it would take an additional 3-5 days for the part to arrive. Received an email that it would arrive 9/6/18. Thermostat reads 89 and had to send my brother to a friends out. I have had other issues with this company before... Looking into finding a new company.

I contacted 2-10 because my ice maker is slow and refrigerator is making a loud noise. Technician came out on 8/29/18 and said compressor was going bad and ice maker wasn't working like it should. He said he would order parts and call back for appointment to repair refrigerator. 2-10 Warranty called today and said that ice maker wasn't covered and compressor had to go all the way out before they would repair it. It states on their website that ice maker and components such as compressor are covered under warranty. For all the money we pay each month the ice maker should be included (even though it states it is on their website) and we got to listen to this loud noise until the compressor goes all the way out. Will be canceling and getting a better service.

Hi there Gloria. We apologize if you felt the website was confusing but there is a clause on the list of coverages stating you must consult your individual service agreement in order to see specific coverages. Standard coverage does not include the ice maker for many states and it says so in your service agreement. Thank you.

Get a home warranty from 2-10. I've had coverage protection with them for two years already and so far, the contractors they've sent out have done a good job. I submit a claim online and whoever they've contracted with calls me. They're very prompt, on time, and they do what they said they're gonna do. It usually takes 24 hours to get an actual contractor.

I'm not sure where to even begin other than the fact of 0 stars should be an option. I moved into my house in september 2018 by november 2018 my heating went out they've sent 2 contractors out after having to call numerous times who installed part after part after part meanwhile never fixing the issue. I went the entire winter with no heat in my house while they replaced the compressor, the air handler, starting components, a capacitor, schrader valves, coil packs, and 3 thermostats, added over 15lbs of freon yet never solved the leak it obviously had. All of these over a 3 month span while waiting in between weeks. And at the end I was told my house being heated unevenly was simply due to the fact "That's just how heat works," which clearly is a lie because that is not how heat and air works.
Now we're in summer and I have gone months without air condition. I had a work order called in but I was told they have no contractors in my area so I found my own contractor who came out and informed me that the work they did was completely wrong. The air handler that they installed is not compatible with my outside unit the compressor was hooked up with the wrong wires that did not fit and the contractor cut them to fit therefore it was getting double the amps that it should have causing the eight-month-old compressor to short out and stop.
It has been a living nightmare dealing with these contractors who do bad work and apparently nobody with the warranty department seems to care that I went all winter with a freezing cold house and now all summer with the house that is 90 degrees inside. I was told to email my work order from my contractor to their claims department and they would contact me to go over my options due to the fact there was damage to the house from the compressor shorting out.
I have been 3 days without hearing from anybody and this is not the first go-around dealing with this. My only suggestion is do not deal with these people because the contractors they hire do horrible work that is actually unsafe due to the fact they made wires work that were not the right ones causing my panel box to make popping noise before the compressor shorted out. Now I have an entire system that needs to be replaced due to faulty equipment being hooked up the wrong way and I am still waiting to be contacted on what is going to happen with it.
Considering I have my own contractor since they did not have one to send out, all I want from them is to acknowledge the fact they're contractors completely ruined my heating and air condition system inside and outside and allow me to have my contractor come out and fix the problems and pay for it because I have been stuck with miserable living conditions for almost an entire year.

When we got the house, the seller bought one year's home warranty but it doesn't cover anything. The one issue that I had here was when my stovetop broke. When I called 2-10, they said I would have to pay a 100-dollar deductible and they would send somebody out. But then the guy came out here, looked at the stove and said he was sure that it was not covered under our warranty. He said that he would still submit his findings to the warranty company and they would contact us. When they contacted me, they said, “Sir, that's not covered under your warranty. That is your responsibility. You have to pay it yourself." They also said, "Well, read your policy. It'll tell you what you want." When I dug into the policy, it said that if we wanted all these things covered, we had to pay all these additional fees. I hate 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. It is a waste of money.

My wife and I purchased our home on 08/01/2018. We had it inspected, insured, and warrantied (or so we thought). For the last two and a half weeks, we have been without our a/c system due to failure. We called 2-10 and explained them the issue we had only to be told that it will go into dispatching (that usually takes up to 24 hours). We waited and got a (in network) company from two cities away who OBVIOUSLY doesn't service our area. We called 2-10 back to tell them that and they threw us back into the dispatch queue to wait another 24 hours for another company to come out. His company was "overbooked" so I called 2-10 again and was told that if I wanted faster service I'd have to come out of pocket to go with an out of network company.
A few days ago the a/c guy came out and looked over the unit briefly and took our $70 deductible. 2-10 reached out to us with a "we will cover 40% while you pay 60%" of the claim and then was given an option to upgrade from the basic plan to the supreme plan for only $90 and the items would be covered. I attempted to do so but was told by another supervisor that we could not. According to her because we had that company look at it already they could not allow that claim to be processed under the new upgrade. I told her we just purchased this house and had no clue there was an upgrade even available because the warranty was "thrown in". I could not believe she gave me the cancellations@2-10.com email and let a BRAND NEW client stay stuck in the heat. Texas is very hot right now and the individuals I spoke with that represent this company could care less, especially for a lousy $400 dollar part.

Giving this company one star makes me queasy. They do not deserve a fraction of a star. I had a pipe leak and immediately called 2-10. They said they would contact their plumbers in the area and get right back to me. They never called back. I called a second time, third time, and fourth time before being told that it was recorded in their system that I was finding my own plumber. Even though I specifically asked them to send their authorized plumber so I wouldn't have to deal with a reimbursement. I finally did call my own plumber and he came right out (within an hour) and he assessed the situation. I gave him 2-10's authorization number to call before he started to make sure it would be covered.
We waited on hold for over 45 minutes on the authorization number. The plumber had to leave to go to another job and the problem was still not fixed. I called the next day and spoke to customer service and explained the horrible ordeal I had gone through on my first service order. They said there was nothing they could do for my trouble. I spoke to the customer service manager Albert and explained the situation once again. He was very unhelpful and also said there was nothing they could do for me. They also ended up denying the reimbursement because the broken pipe was "improperly installed". Please do yourself a favor and stay as far away from these scam artists as you can!

If you want a reliable home warranty service, please do not call 2-10. I won’t go into all the details, but I will say that 2-10 does not have responsible contractors. We have had several appointments, where either they were a no show, a late show, or services were improperly rendered, if rendered at all. Each time that a call is put into 2-10, another service ticket is generated, and then you must wait several days before hearing from that company. In the meantime, we, the customer, are having our needs go unmet. There is no compassion, understanding, or advocating on behalf of the 2-10 customer; it’s really almost as if they just don’t care.
At this point, we am not sure if we even need a home warranty program. we paid, in full, for a service that we cannot even use. We don’t have a lot of breakdowns, just an issue with the AC not properly cooling, and we can’t even get that taken care of. This issue has been going on for three weeks, and no progress has been made.

My dishwasher leaked all over my floor in my kitchen, and 2-10 covered getting a plumber out. The plumber found that all he could do was turn off the water, which I couldn't do anyway because the valve that turned it off was broken. So, he needed to replace the valve to turn off the water to keep my dishwasher from leaking any further. Then, I had to call 2-10 about getting the dishwasher repaired and it was kind of a mess trying to explain to everybody what was going on. The leak destroyed my floor, but I found out that was not covered by the warranty. I was very disappointed since that was $2,000 out of my pocket. 2-10 hadn't been that much help to me with the one problem that I had.

I've made several attempts in the past 11 years to obtain service on items covered under my Buyers protection plan. Each time I called, I had to obtain my own contractor and pay out-of-pocket. Contractors response is extremely slow and in two incidents, I was not called at all. Most recently I had a central air failure that required a completely new outside compressor and inside coil because of newer refrigerant requirements. I was told that I could obtain my own contractor but that contractor would need to call to obtain an authorization for some if not all of the expense.
My contractor was willing to make that call since he was not participating with 2-10. His call was placed on hold for a very long time and I went ahead with the repairs and paid in full out-of-pocket. I called 2-10 myself and explained my situation. The person I spoke to was very helpful and she explained that someone would call me back to discuss. When I arrived home, I had a voicemail waiting that explained to me that the claim would not be paid, not even a partial payment. I would have expected a reimbursement in the amount equal to what 2-10 would pay their own subscribed contractor for those repairs at a minimum. For the 11 years I had a policy with 2-10, not one claim was ever handled to my satisfaction!
Updated on 08/30/2018: I wanted to provide an update to my review posted last week concerning 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since 2-10 has not updated their position here on ConsumerAffairs. After several private messages between myself and 2-10, they are standing on their decision to NOT reimburse me for any part of my out-of-pocket expense on my claim.
I wasn't expecting a full reimbursement but at least the portion of the expense that they would have paid their own contractor for. I even had enhanced HVAC coverage and to receive this brush off certainly does not sit well with me. The thousands of dollars I spent over the last 11 years of coverage with 2-10 would have been better remaining in the bank. There is a good reason 2-10 has an overall 2.5 star rating. I was unable to select zero stars for my rating here so I'm leaving a 1 again. If you're shopping for home buyers warranty, please look into others that have much higher satisfaction ratings!

Then after they got around to assigning a service contractor, never heard from the service contractor. Never. Had to go with someone else outside their network, and then 2-10 played the "we don't cover that" game. Yet, the HVAC part that was the culprit WAS covered. If they were great at one time, 2-10 is not great now. Scammers. You'd be better off saving your $700/year, and maybe, in a couple years, if there's a problem, pay a professional with the money you saved rather than deal with the 2-10 network of not-so-skilled unprofessionals.

I have been with 2-10 for over 10 years and they are good about getting the claims submitted and then giving that information forward to the contractor. The only issue we've ever had with them is actually with some of the subcontractors through them, not with them directly. And then when we've had an issue with the contractor. They resolved it and sent a new contractor out. When I submit a claim, I call up and then I follow the automated prompt regarding an AC or fridge, or whatever, and then submit the claim. Then they give us a work order number, after which, the contractor contacts us within 24 to 48 hours. If it's something that we deem as an emergency, then we could contact the contractor directly. We have that option, and then try to get on their schedule sooner.
As for the contractors that were sent out, some have been great and some have been less than stellar. But as far as 2-10, we've been pleased with it. I haven't felt the need to go elsewhere. Having a warranty gives peace of mind. I know that if something goes wrong, I don't have to go out of pocket for thousands of dollars. When our air conditioner went out, it would have cost us close to $3,000 to get it fixed or replaced. But because we have the warranty, it cost us just under a thousand out of pocket.

They listened to what my problem was and got me in contact with the people that I needed to get the problem fixed. Then the contractors came and they were very respectful. They fixed what was wrong and said that if I would have any problem that was related to the same issue, I should just give them a call and they would take care of everything on the warranty side. Someone told me that there is a limit to each repair that 2-10 would make and I don't think that is true, though I would have to go back and read the literature myself.

When I first contacted 2-10 to report that my ac was not working, I asked if I could called someone to come see it and get refunded, the answer was, "Yes, but we are going to pay them what we pay our contractors", so that meant that I had to wait a week or two for someone to come and look at the unit. Ok, since I was going on vacation for a week and didn't have to be in the house. When the contractor came to the house, he gave me a phone call and gave me the diagnostic, the compressor was not working and the AC unit was too old to be fix. Ok, perfect! That's the contractor that they sent and it will get approved and fix. When I come back from vacation, I still haven't heard anything from 2-10, I gave them a call and the first representative was more interest in eating her lunch at her desk than looking at my file, at the end of the phone call, 40 min already, "it was approved and sent to purchase". WRONG.
I contacted the contractor that they had sent and they hadn't received any approval notice. I call them again and to my surprise, it was not approved. The company decided to send someone else to get a second diagnostic, since the first one that they had sent was asking for too much money to replace/repair. Now it has been 3 weeks going on 4 in 2 days, and no one has come to my house to get that second diagnostic. I live in Arizona, the second week without AC it was over 110 degrees. I am pregnant and with a kid at home, this situation is just unacceptable. I have called multiple times, being on hold for more than 20 minutes, talked to two supervisors, and my only response was that I needed to wait since the first contractor was asking for too much money. After reading the reviews on this website I don't know what to expect, I will probably have the baby and still no AC at the house.

Hi there Claudia. We are very concerned to read about your experience and we are very sorry for the issues you have had with our company thus far. Would you reply to this review with a private response letting us know your property address and/or work order number? We would like to escalate your claim to management for further review. Thank you for your feedback.

Reported heat pump failure Thursday afternoon. Received email with service provider name. Midday Friday contacted service provider who stated no request for service has been received and was rather defensive. Contacted 2-10 who stated that a rest would be resent. Was not contacted by the service provider until Midday Monday. Was not scheduled until Wednesday afternoon. Given a 4 hour window of arrival. The service provider arrived 30 minutes after the window. The technician quick assessed and fixed the heat pump. Bottom line was that we had no air conditioning for virtually a week with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s.

Long story short... Called for AC repair, company comes out. Tells me it's one particular issue, There are 2 units so I needed to get a second work order number. So I call while the AC company is still at the house. 2-10 gives me the other work order (still going great). I explain what the AC company writes on the receipt and the Customer Service rep on the phone talks to a manager and the Work order is "Approved" to fix the issue that the AC company has found. Fast forward with numerous calls and another AC technician to find out the diagnosis was never submitted.
Here I am waiting for an AC company to come fix my stuff, while I'm having a leak problem on my ceiling from the AC issue. I finally get fed up and call AGAIN... only to be told, "Hehe... Just kidding. It's not approved." I call up to a supervisor to fix this issue and he can't. I ask for his supervisor and he refuses to give me the next number up. Great customer service... I'd say. I'll make sure to tell anyone that buys a new home, or home warranty not to go with 2-10. In the meantime, I'm going to keep trying to get the next number and hope that someone that can make decisions can fix this issue.

The last time I called in a claim with 2-10, it took the contractor for the AC 72 hours to give me a call. It was ridiculous. So I ended up having to pay out of pocket for somebody else to come. Other than that, I've used 2-10 two other times both for the dryer. The first time, the service was pretty quick. But for the second time, they had to make three visits because they didn't have the parts. In addition, we had a garage malfunction and after reading the policy, it seemed that anything that could go wrong with the garage wasn't covered. It makes me wonder why I keep paying 2-10 if what I need isn't being covered.

Greetings Nish. Thank you for the review. Unfortunately, it can take up to 72 hours to obtain a contractor depending on the time of year, the volume of claims in your region, and the time at which you request service. However, if you are in an emergency situation, please ask if you would be able to use an out of network contractor and we may be able to accommodate you. We are happy to hear that one of your claims with us went smoothly. We are very sorry for the issue with the three visits and delayed repair to one of your claims as well as the lack of coverage for your garage. Garage coverage can be increased if you upgrade your contract to supreme. We do feel we have a lot of valuable coverages in our service agreements but we can understand your frustration with our services given your experiences. We hope you stick with us and we are able to turn your opinion of us around. Thank you again for your feedback.

2-10 needs to screen the companies they use. The technician never conducted any diagnostic tests on my range to pinpoint the problem. I was told by 2-10 the cost to fix would be more than what the range is worth. I was bought out for $850.00. My wife refused to get rid of the range. So I did my own diagnostics which took 15 minutes and fixed my range with a $160.00 part. Just want to know why would it cost more than $850.00 to fix when I fixed it for $160.00. Makes no sense.

This company is incredibly disrespectful and deceitful to their customers. I recently had my water heater break and need to be replaced. I was told by 2-10 that the contractors had 48 hours to contact us to schedule the repair, which seemed reasonable to us, and proceeded to wait. The company called the next morning and set up a time for the following day. The gentleman came out and assessed the damage, determined that the water heater would have to be completely replaced, and submitted the info to 2-10 for their approval. I contacted 2-10 on my own shortly after he left to see if I could expedite the process because we really wanted to try to get the problem fixed that day if possible.
I was told that it would take 3-5 business days (!!!) for 2-10 to ship the water heater from their warehouse to the contractor and that they wouldn't approve the contractor providing the water heater, despite the fact that they had one available and could fix it that day. I repeatedly asked if there was anything else they could do to hurry this process along (ship it overnight, approve the contractor to provide the water heater, etc) and I was told of the "buyout" option that would cost us $1100 and allow the contractor to provide the water heater. Seems a little extreme, but after having gone for 48 hours already without hot water I considered it. When I called the plumbers back they said the total invoice without using 2-10 came to a total of $1250. Basically 2-10 was offering to either only cover $150 of the total cost OR have me, their customer, wait for a total of over 7 days for a new water heater.
I contacted their "customer experience" department to try to understand the logic of this and was told that by utilizing their "nation-wide buying program" and letting them provide the part I was saving "soooo much" money. I explained to them that their monthly rate is the same as a prior home warranty company I had used and that the service fee they charge is also the same so I don't see how this is saving me anything, all it seems to be doing is costing me more time without something being fixed. He didn't really have much else to say other than continuously interrupting and insisting that they are saving me so much money. I finally got tired of listening to him speak in circles and got off the phone.
I called the plumber back and was told that normally with 2-10 they get approval to provide certain parts, like water heaters, because of the significant importance and that our case was the first time she had them refuse and insist on shipping the part. I called back 2-10 for the third time to try to plead my case again and ask why this situation was being handled differently. This time I got a disturbingly cranky woman who seemed slightly compassionate at first and then proceeded to raise her voice at me and tell that I just need to be patient and understand that she can't do anything else. Shortly after I got off the phone the plumber called me back and said that she had gotten a call from 2-10 and that they understand their customer (me) was "highly upset" about it taking so long for the water heater to get to them - would it be possible for them (the plumber) to pick up the water heater so they could get it installed faster?
The plumbers agreed and asked where they would be picking it up from - turns out they have a warehouse within 30 minutes from our house and it could be picked up the next day. I don't understand why it took three phone calls and getting spoken to in a very condescending and aggressive way for them to finally realize that they need to fix the problem sooner. It seems to me that they were giving me the long time-frame to get it fixed knowing that I wouldn't want to wait that long and would end up paying the "buyout" price and they would only be out $150. I don't appreciate companies that are dishonest to their customers, and I certainly won't pay a company for my business when they treat their customers this way. Once this water heater is installed I will be cancelling my contract and going with another company.

I called to get service. Service provider came out. Said unit needed to be replaced and that I would receive a call with further information. I never received a call so I called in a few days later. I was told they needed me to verbally accept charges they don't cover so parts could be ordered. I did just that. The next day I called in to verify things were moving and they said they were waiting on me to confirm a different cost before they could order parts. I did. They said I could go online to keep up with the status of my work order.
I decided to call in almost 2 weeks after the first call and was told the wrong part was ordered and that they would have to reorder and there was nothing they could do about this issue. It was the service provider who gave the wrong info because they need part numbers to order parts. The service provider just so happened to call me and said she don't know what's going on. She called 2-10 6 days ago to correct some information that was wrong and when she called back in they had not changed nor ordered any parts.
I have been on the phone with 2-10 several times and no one follows through, everyone blames the other person and they have no type of accommodations to offer you. I asked if I could pay for next day shipping. I was denied. I asked if I could purchase parts and only pay me whatever cost you get it for. I was denied. I asked If Service provider could get the parts from their provider. I was denied. If you know of any other home warranty place don't use this one.

I have been without my dishwasher for over a month. 2-10 referred us to a technician and he stated from the very beginning that the unit needed to be replaced that he had follow a protocol which I understood. He came to my home 4 times - which every time I had to leave early from work. (leave an hour and 1/2 away) First time he just looked at the equipment got the $100.00 check and stated he will be in touch. I had to call at least 6 times to hear back from him. Second time he went to my home (after several follow ups as well) he stated ordered the wrong part which needless to say he stated he needed to come back again. Third & Fourth times (after several follow ups) he came to the house replaced the unit and stated it was not working and he was going to report that a new unit needed to be ordered. He was talking in a very negative way about 2-10 - he even said he was done with 2-10 and that I needed to call 2-10 and follow up to get a new unit.
Next day I call and I was told that another technician will need to go to my home (a fifth time!!!) which I was very upset to hear that. So I sent a complaint because I was not satisfied with that decision. I would need to leave my job AGAIN early just to have a tech to stop by a look at the equipment and then who knows how many more times just to get it resolve. Today, I got a call from Jennifer (Advocate from 2-10) which just repeated the same script from the customer service rep. (that they will be sending another tech) She stated that because the technician didn't provided a detail report the process must be start all over again.
I feel that I have been punish because their contractor. She stated that I could hire my own technician outside of the network (poor and bad suggestions). I told her that I will continue to write poor reviews about 2-10 - which in a very sarcastic way she stated - "you can continue to write bad reviews, they are all going to ended up on my desk anyway." Really? This is the kind of service and resolution you are offering? When I said I was going to look for another Home Warranty Service Company she reiterated that I was entitled to do that and basically she encourage me to do so.

My wife and I have been without AC for 42 days. The contractor 2-10 referred us to, Total Air Care, diagnosed the problem as a broken compressor. Compressor had to be ordered - took a week or so. Tech was supposed to be at our house between 2 pm and 6 pm to install new compressor - didn't show up until 10 pm and was at our house until 3 am and could not fix the system. Another tech was sent out a couple days later and informed me that the previous tech had actually damaged another part that they needed to order.
A 3rd tech came out to fix that part and during his inspection noticed another part the original tech damaged. That part had to be ordered, was delayed and is supposed to be fixed sometime between 2 pm and 6 pm today (42 days after our A/C originally went out). Tech isn't supposed to be at our house until 8 pm and it's the original tech that came out to fix the compressor who caused these additional issues. I've requested that 2-10 replace my AC unit because I have no idea how much damage their contractor actually caused. They informed me they will only repair and not replace my system. I've contacted a lawyer and plan on bringing a lawsuit against the company. Living in Georgia in the summertime without AC for a month and a half is unacceptable.

I’ve got a maintenance agreement with an air conditioning company called Donovan, who’s probably the most reputable air conditioning company in Jacksonville. I used them on my previous residence and for my air conditioning issue this time, I called them as well. They made weekend house calls so they said they’d get somebody out the next day. But 12 hours before the guy was gonna come out, I called 2-10. I asked if Donovan’s Air Conditioning was one of the contractors in their network and the rep said no. I said, “Well, I trust this person. You’re not gonna be able to get anybody out?” They said 48 to 72 hours.
But an air conditioner that goes down late June in Florida is somewhat of a crisis situation. I asked if I could still use Donovan and the rep said yes. I was told that the only thing I would do by calling an outside contractor is I would have to pay them upfront then send 2-10 the invoice and they would reimburse me. I even asked the rep if she was positive about it and she said yes. I did it out of pure caution and my reward is a $17 reimbursement on a $354 bill.
The capacitor needed to be fixed and counting the house call, the service and the part, the total was $354. I knew that 2-10 has a $100 bill deductible so I sent them an email to the email address the rep had given me, requested a reimbursement of $254 and downloaded the invoice. Then I got a call from somebody in their claims management department saying they were ready to send the reimbursement out and that they wanted to go over it. The reimbursement was $17.
They said that if I had used one of their contractors, the service call would have been $105 and the part would have been $17 for a total of $122. Then they had a total of $117 and minus the $100 deductible, they were sending me a check for $17. They said that what my air conditioner guy charged was too expensive. They said that capacitors are only $22. But I’ve had enough issues with air conditioners in my day and I know what things cost. Air conditioner capacitors cost way more than $22. You can’t even get stuff that goes in the back of your toilet for $22. Air conditioning companies also charge for labor and the one that I used charged $354 for our problem. In the state of Florida, that's very reasonable. I don’t know who 2-10 thought they were gonna get as their contractor. But it was ridiculous. They can’t sit there in all seriousness and tell me that a capacitor only costs $22 or that the work total was $122.
I didn’t expect the warranty company to cover every single dime. But I would like them to live up to a promise that was made to me when I got on the phone. I told Donovan what was going on and the guy said, “Oh, this is why we don’t align ourselves with these home warranty things because they do to you what they do to us. They take forever to pay. They try to chisel you out of every last penny.”
I also had a conversation prior to that where I called and asked 2-10 what the status of the reimbursement was. They started asking me for information that was already on the invoice. They asked what the diagnosis was, when the contractor came and how long the service call lasted. I kept telling them that that information was on the invoice. Finally, I asked, “Is there are any other information that you would need that’s not on this invoice?”
Plus their customer service was more or less, "It’s gonna be our way or the highway." The people didn’t care and there was a very long hold time. I held for 25 minutes and when I asked for claims management, I was on hold for another 20 minutes. Then I got rerouted back to the regular customer service number. I called again and waited on hold for another 15 minutes. I asked why they sent me to claims management and had it rerouted, and they said that claims management goes home at 8:00 Eastern. But it was 7:00 when they started that process. So it was either the representative didn’t have the right information or she blatantly lied to me.
I had one other claim where 2-10 sent somebody out to fix the garbage disposal. Somebody had dropped a screw down the garbage disposal and it was making noise. The contractor came out and found what the problem was then we had to pay $100 for the house call. But the air conditioner claim was a fairly big issue and it seems that the bigger the issue is, the more 2-10 is gonna be difficult about it. I’m not real happy. I will use 2-10 if something else breaks down in my house between now and when the warranty expires. But then I’ll get somebody else.

I bought a new property with a home warranty from 2-10. Sounded great. Glad the sellers paid for it because it never did a thing for me. There's always an exclusion: if you have a noisy refrigerator, well, the refrigerator is working properly so that's not covered (costs a hundred bucks to be told that, thanks -- a piece of info you could have shared with me on the phone when I tell you the unit works but it's insanely noisy). Claims you don't run through them aren't covered so I got dinged on that for several items, even though a customer service rep encouraged me to submit those claims -- I didn't understand how the process worked, and the work was done "out of network" so no coverage at all.
The one repair I had they were willing to "cover" was a toilet repair where it was discovered there was a broken flange -- aha! A covered item! But by the time you pay your $100 service fee and the "out of network" cut, the "coverage" was a big $6. I told them not to bother. I won't use this company again. Customer service is EXTREMELY nice and responsive so I gave a star for that. But the bottom line is, when the answer is no, every single time, no matter how nicely it's delivered, it's not worth the money. As a general rule, I think these products are a big waste of money, unless you have an appliance that's on the brink of failure. I salute all of you who get any actual project covered that costs more than your premium plus the service call.

Our AC went out 2 weeks ago on Tuesday (went out July 31st). The first contractor they sent denied the work. The second contractor agreed to do the work which includes replacing the compressor and other minor parts and services. Due to the major component, the compressor has to be ordered through the 2-10 vendor system, which their claims/customer service group submitted Wednesday August 4th.
At this point it's 8 days after our air went out. They estimate 3-5 business days JUST to place the order for the parts (which seems unnecessarily long to place an order), then up to 7-10 business days to ship and receive the parts (again seems long for a company that specializes in home appliance warranty and repair). So counting calendar days, and assuming it takes the max time they estimate, that would be Aug 22nd just to get the parts to the contractor. Then, the contractor has to schedule the work. That's 22 calendar days, without air, BEFORE the work to fix it can even be started.
In my opinion, that is a poor service provided by a company selling home appliance warranty and repair services. Comparatively, we have had two different outside contractors state they could fix the compressor or replace the entire unit within 3-5 business days, if we wanted. In addition to that, I have probably spent about 8 hours or so, over about 10 phone calls, to check in, request updates, and ensure the claim isn't being forgotten or delayed. As many others have stated, you have to repeat the same info over and over.
To complicate the matter, we have a 20 day old newborn. On more than one occasion, 2-10 has reminded me that their terms and conditions state (paraphrasing) that they can't or won't guarantee that a claim will be resolved I'm any specific time frame. I can understand that fast service may not be available all the time, but my opinion and experience suggests that language is used to allow them to take their time. Again, local contractors can do it in 3-5 days, this may take them almost 30 from start to finish.
For a company that markets and sells warranty and repair services to consumers, I would consider this a poor service. On numerous occasions, I have requested expedited service (due to the amount of time that has already elapsed) and that one agent be assigned to my claim for continuity and further assistance. I was denied each time and reminded that their terms state that they don't provide exact time frames for a resolution. I see below that another reviewer was assigned an "advocate." I also see that reviews were forwarded to an "escalations" department.
If 2-10 sees fit to respond to this review, and offer an advocate or escalations department, I would also request that response to include a time and day deadline that I should expect to hear from said advocate or escalations rep, and HOW they will reach out to me. Offering that someone will reach out to me without info as to when and how they will, would not provide me comfort and assurance that it would actually happen, as most of the contacts were initiated by me calling 2-10.
TO POTENTIAL 2-10 CUSTOMERS: it's wasn't easy, it takes considerably longer than hiring and paying a contractor yourself (albeit less expensive) and it has been a painful and frustrating experience for us. Keep in mind, I am posting almost 2 weeks after our air went out, they still haven't ordered parts, can't tell me exactly when they will, and only that it could be 10 - 13 more business days before the parts come in, then a few more business days for the contractor to fix it. We are looking at about a month without AC.

There is not enough space here to write all of the negative information I have to share about this company. To begin with, they refuse to do anything in writing - that includes estimates of costs, lists of extra costs, confirmations, and denials of coverage. That right there is an indication of the dishonesty with which they do business. It seems two of their favorite tactics to try to convince their customers that something isn't covered or to add on extra costs to something that IS covered. One representative told me she could not email something to me because of their customers' credit card information being stored in their system.
Knowing a good bit about computers, that was a ridiculous lie. This same person also told me she was going to call a contractor to schedule our water heater installation, and a week later, I found out that she did not call them. Another blatant lie. All this was after weeks of calls even trying to get information about this claim at all. I am off work this week, so her telling me it would be done within this time frame was important. That, of course, being dependent upon her calling the contractor like she said she would, which she did not do.
I found this out a week later after I called the contractor myself, who told me he had not heard a word from them. Of course, had all of this been done in writing, the obligations would have been clear and established. This is an unethical company that counts on the ignorance of their customers in order to lie and manipulate them. I have worked with legal contracts before, so I KNOW they are ripping me off, as I have read the "fine print" over and over. Their lack of good customer service and ethical business practices is inexcusable.

Hi there Jeannie. After reading your review, I am concerned to read about a lot of your experiences with our company. I want to make sure we are on the same page with some of the information you have received and the way we conduct our business. Firstly, we do supply some information via writing if you request that from our team. We will send you emails with a cost breakdown if you wish, but we do have some information that we do not generally supply via written form. Also, it would be illegal for us to try and swindle our way out of covering items for our homeowners. We pay on 97.5% of all claims that come through our system. This means that we are more than willing to provide coverage however there are exclusions in every contract. You may have partial coverage on a repair but have some non covered costs not included in the repair of the unit. These exclusions are clearly outlined in your contract and in your terms and conditions. In regards to the representative unable to email you specific information, there are limitations on what we can send our customers. I am not sure the specifics of what you were asking to have sent over to you but I can assure you that our staff does have legal limitations in place on what information they are allowed to share with our customers. I apologize that the specific representative that you spoke with did not seem to follow up with your contractor. This is not behavior we promote and are more than willing to coach our staff member moving forward. Seeing as how you have not have proper follow up on this claim, and you want to dispute the decisions we have made, your claim has been escalated to an advocate. She is assigned to your claim and will continue to follow up with you until this is resolved. She left you a voicemail yesterday asking you to give her a call back when you get the opportunity. Any and all questions or concerns you have will be reviewed and answered by her moving forward. Thank you for your feedback and I hope this information was insightful.

I've had coverage with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for three years and so far, I've had a good experience with them. The warranty was part of the package in the closing document when I purchased the home and I've chosen to stay with them due to the convenience. Submitting a claim with them was as easy as a phone call. I called and told them what was going on, and they gave me a reference number. Then they gave me the name and the phone number of the contractor that they were recommending me to. Usually, after a day or two, the contractor came out. 2-10 even explained that if I'd like to contact the contractor directly, I might be able to convince them that they need to come out sooner. If the contractor had an opening and if it was okay for them to schedule me sooner, then they might be able to come before my scheduled service date. So, it was all within reason.
Also, the contractors have been pretty accurate. They've come right out and they've done what they had to do, and they've filled out the paperwork. Then I've paid my deductible. They've all been very professional and fair, and mindful that they were coming into my home, and they represented the warranty company pretty well. I've already recommended 2-10 to other people.

Greetings Steve. Thank you for reviewing your claim experience. We are happy to hear that submitting a claim was easy and that the whole process went smoothly. We are thrilled to have had you apart of our customer base for 3 years and we hope to keep you around for many more to come. Thank you.

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was automatically put with the house when we bought it. We renewed with them for we have a really old air conditioner. When we submitted a claim the very first time, we've had a lot of issues and the experience was awful just because they told us we could easily go with this company that have previously been working with the house. But that company did not like to work with home warranties so there was a miscommunication between the home warranty and the air conditioning companies.
They were like five-year-olds in a playground and it took over two months during the hot summer for us to get our AC fixed. That really sucked. We were supposed to be refunded for the whole amount but we never got any even though 2-10 told us it would be fine and we’d get our refund if we went with that supplier. But afterwards, 2-10 was Johnny on the spot with things so my husband and I appreciated that. We tried them again when the AC went out again and then the heater. We went with the company through 2-10 and they were very forthcoming and they covered everything. Also, the contractors that they sent out for our issues were really good.

Thank you for the review Arielle. We apologize for the first claim experience you went through.

We’re on week 10 of our upstairs AC claim with 2-10. Upstairs AC has been leaking Freon for 3 years, refilled more than once each summer. It’s now so bad they won’t refill it as it leaks out in days. We have a leak in the evap coil and condensing coil as verified by their contractor and witnessed by me. The system needs to be replaced, as stated by their contractor technician and estimator. We’re going on 11 weeks this summer without a fully functional upstairs AC with 3 small kids, temps 78-85+ F. We’re all sleeping on couches and blowup beds in our living room.
My downstairs AC is maxed out and barely cooling to 78 F in the afternoon with the additional load it’s handling. I have condensation and moisture downstairs and I’m concerned about mold growth. My power bill this summer is through the roof. I’ve spoken to at least 6 people in 2-10’s “call center” about getting some action over the last 10 weeks. I can’t get a claim manager assigned, and I believe it’s intentional to get you to fix it yourself and deny reimbursement. I waste 30-90 minutes on each call rehashing the same thing and getting nowhere.
There’s no accountability for any of the call center people you speak with because they don’t have to talk with you the next time. I’ve been told it’s not their policy not to assign a single point of contact, but their response to these reviews here say otherwise. Each call I make I request contact information and I’m refused that contact information with all 2-10 employees I speak with. I suppose you have to go public to get any real attention. I’ve only been called by 2-10 one time (ever) to discuss the system repair in over 3 years. My latest call to them was last Friday, where I got the runaround and delayed again to Monday. I was promised a call on Monday, it’s now late Tuesday. I have been promised action with no follow through several times.
There’s zero sense of urgency or compassion for our situation. I’m doubtful it will be resolved this summer. Based on the reviews here and their anti-customer service communication policies, going out and repairing or replacing on your own will likely result in little or no reimbursement without legal action. It’s ridiculous. Possibly the worst customer service I’ve ever had to deal with in my 41 years.

When I bought the condo, it had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty and I renewed it. I’ve only had two calls to 2-10 so far, once for the dryer that wasn’t heating properly and recently, for a refrigerator claim. I submit a claim to them and they tell me that they will try to find someone that works under them and who will contact me. However, every name they’ve given me has been on the low end and it’s never been a reputable company that I’ve heard of.
I’m trying to feel the company out to see the quality of service because I wasn’t there for the dryer and we just changed an element out. I’m gonna be there to see how they would do on the next repair on the Sub-Zero refrigerator. The first company that 2-10 gave me never called me back. I had to keep calling and then I left a message because they gave me the phone number for the guy to call me but he never called. Then, I called back 2-10 and told them about it and they said that they’ll get somebody else. The company claims that they get more Sub-Zero which I hope they’re telling me the truth. They ordered a new seal for the door that has been going on for a while and they’re waiting for it to come in. I’ve only had 2-10 for a year and right now, I’m satisfied with them.

When I used 2-10, I submitted claims on their website. I chose the category and wrote a brief description of what the claim was about. They then asked for the model and the unit of whatever appliance that needed fixing. Typically, I would get an email right away saying that my request was submitted. It was 24 to 48 hours before I saw if they were sending a technician. Getting ahold of 2-10 was the only issue I ever had. I’ve tried getting someone on the phone before and that was difficult. I just had to wait until they 2-10. And then the technician, whoever 2-10 assigned to it and whatever contractor they used, called me to set up a time. There was a time when I had a plumber come to replace a water heater and he was good.

I had to call again and they had gotten somebody scheduled to come today between three and five, but I haven’t heard from anybody since. Nevertheless, I will recommend 2-10's service.

I just bought a home and have had a 2-10 warranty that came with the home. I have been dealing with these people for a month just to have my drain snaked.

That has been a month ago and I have been contacting the contractor and 2-10 about the situation because I have had to do dishes and my standup shower. I finally complained enough so the contractor called me today and said I need to replace the drain pipe in question so they can snake it which obviously defeats the purpose of them snaking it.
I also had a problem with my standalone 2 piece bathtub leaking and 2-10 only approved half the work that needed to be done and the contractor said they could not complete the job due to that.

I've been a 2-10 client for a couple of years now and every time I called it in there has been some fuzziness around what’s going on with my air conditioner or having somebody come out. I had told them that this has been an ongoing claim since before I renewed my contract, and I was told at that time there was no way that it was archived. They can look back to see how many times my AC has been serviced at this point. Because my whole question was, “At what point did the unit become replaceable?” Of course, they told me it was based on the diagnosis and if they could continue to repair it. I was like, “Okay. That’s fine, but as many times as they sent out a technician the problem is never resolved.” The first guy replaced the actual thermostat, the next one changed the filters, then the other one put a new capacitor on. Then the next week I had to pay for a whole another thing, either a condenser, or a compressor, or whatever.
At this point again our AC is doing the same thing. One technician came out and replaced one part that wasn’t even a problem. Another tech came and said that the part shouldn't have been replaced. The technicians they have been sending out isn't of quality and they're not fixing the problem. And I call 2-10 every time and tell them the issue has not been resolved. They'd say, “Okay. Well, were gonna charge you the service fee depended upon if it’s a new problem or a revolving problem.” And it’s always found to be a recurring thing! I'm hoping that somebody put two and two together. We’re in the middle of the summer and we’re burning up. Vacation has been horrible. We had nine kids in the house and we had fans on and the refrigerator and window open, everything trying to stay cool. It was so embarrassing.
The other thing that gets me is, if you look at your electric company here in Florida, they always tell you ways to save on your electric bill especially when it comes to the AC, so we try to keep it set at the temperature that it’s recommended, which is like 73 or so, but whenever we set it to that temperature it automatically shuts off. Then when you go out to the actual unit it’s completely frozen over. The fan is not blowing. Nothing. The last guy who came out defrosted the unit and he manually turned it with his hand to make it start back, but when he left it happened all over again. So now, we have to set it 68, 62, 63. You can imagine how hot our building is now.
We also had a claim in for our roof since hurricane Alma last year. And our roofer still has not come out! I’ve found another roofer out of network and they diagnosed it. The diagnosis was sent to 2-10 but they said that it would need to be a little bit more detailed. Well, why didn't they ask the contractor they sent? It took forever, so I have to continually put in my claim for my roof and it still hasn’t been fixed.
I have gotten a customer service rep who has done the best that they could, but the quality of service technicians that’s been sent out is piss poor. I’ve told one of the representatives, “Why am I paying you guys? If this is the case I can go on different websites like HomeAdvisor and find my own contractors, or just do the whole thing myself. It’s just ridiculous at this point." So it's been the service fees, me taking off work, and electric bill. And then there are the loopholes that I have to go through finding techs out of network. And I still have to pay on top of that. It's ridiculous. I’m paying for the service for a reason. I was really thinking about moving to another service. But I’m trying to hang on and just be faithful to them and just make sure that it’s gonna come through, but I really need the service that I’m paying for.

We tried to contact them and 2-10 tried to contact them. We were without a washer and finally we called 2-10 back and told them what was going on.

The following is an email written to 2-10 Home Warranty (on July 27) related to my HVAC issue: First and foremost, thank you for your assistance regarding work order **. This is to confirm $662 will be paid back to me after I forward the final paid invoice of work provided to get my central air unit repaired. To reiterate my stand from our earlier conversation, all options to utilize an in-network contractor were exhausted. As I referenced in my email below, 2-10 provided a contractor (Express Plumbing Heating and Air) that was located in San Diego (area code 858), some 170 miles away from the property address.
Another 2-10 recommended contractor was Comfort Services, but they never called me to set up an appointment. When I called Comfort Services’ telephone number that 2-10 provided, I was asked to leave a message on generic voicemail. No callback. Per our earlier conversation, you stated an in-network contractor was located in Indio California… that is 166 miles away from the property address. The contractor in Canyon Country is about 50 miles away and the contractor in Tarzana (One Call Fixes It All) is a handyman service. Your system needs to reflect a better inventory of license and bonded in-network contractors for HVAC repairs within the area code the property is located.
Note – 2-10 advised me that there were no in-network contractors to assist on my disabled central air unit back in February or March of this year. Figuring the same scenario was occurring on this issue, that was the reason I called back Conejo Valley Heating and Air since they were at the property some five months ago. It should be in your records.
I’ve been a loyal 2-10 customer for twenty years and for the most part have been satisfied with the service. Based on the time it took to get a decision (it would’ve been longer if I didn’t follow-up), the numerous call transfers and hold times I endured, and me doing the legwork to get a contractor out to the property because no in-network contractors were accessible, there is no way I will renew with 2-10 next February. Another factor in this decision, my wife has been physically ill due to the intense Southern California heat wave occurring at this time. The portable fans in our house are 100% ineffective.
The only way I would consider renewing is for 2-10 to pay in full the final invoice I will submit after the repairs are performed… or the bulk of it. I would appreciate you forwarding this to your supervisor and to whomever provides the final decision. I look forward to a response. As of this date, I have not received any response. What a surprise!

I have been with 2-10 for almost two years. I was buying my house when I first heard about them from my realtor. As far as submitting my claims, I have both called in and submitted them online. The reps I've talked with have been very helpful and the process went smoothly. Although one of the times I was doing it, it wasn’t going through properly. It kept telling me there was an error and there wasn’t, so I called and got it through.
In the beginning, the experience with the technicians has been very good. They came out to my house about four times. But the same thing kept happening over and over and I kept doing the same thing over and over again. The technician told me it’s a difficult process to go through to get certain things finished. It was hard to understand a lot of things about what he was saying but as it turned out, there was a part that needed to be ordered. It took four times before he finally ordered the part, but when they were ordering the part they sent somebody different to make sure it was that part that needed to be done.
That guy though was never on time. The first guy was 10 minutes early. He was very punctual, and I’d always knew when he was gonna be here. And he let me know when he was on his way. He was good. The second one, meanwhile, would never tell me when he was coming. The company would tell me he’d be there at a certain time and he’d come two hours late. I did let that technician know that I wasn’t happy with him not coming on time. In the end, I wanted my freezer not to freeze everything inside. I would have ice everywhere and it was leaking water inside my freezer, so it would refreeze everything in a block of ice. Although this seemed to be happening every 30 days, it’s been a couple months now and everything seems to be good.

We bought our home warranty in March when purchasing a 12 year old home. On Sunday of this week, we came home from vacation to find that our downstairs AC unit was no longer blowing cold air. I submitted a claim online from 2-10 and was immediately given the contact information for the local contractor who would be providing service for our AC. When I read the reviews for the contractor online, I was instantly horrified as they did NOT have good reviews. I contacted 2-10 and they assured me that you can't *always* trust online reviews-- so I prayed and gave them a call.
I called the emergency number for the contractor Sunday night, and he said they'd send someone out the following day (Monday). The owner of the company came to my home on Monday afternoon and was quickly able to find that our compressor was shot (the most expensive component on the AC aside from basically just putting in a new unit). I asked him straight out how long this would take to fix based on all the terrible reviews I've read online from 2-10 about it taking months to get service and he said it really just depends. I had a stomach ache from reading reviews that night but hoped for the best that we would not be without air much longer in the July, 90 degree heat.
I was THRILLED this morning when Willie, the contractor, called me at 8 am to tell me he had the part in stock, 2-10 had approved the claim and he'd be out today to fix our unit. He had it up and running in just a few short hours and everything was resolved within 36 hours of me making my claim. I realize that this does not seem to be the norm based on all the reviews-- but it seems as though we lucked out with a great contractor who got the job done quickly and efficiently for us and a rep (Katrina **) who was very helpful in getting our claim pushed through. I paid our $100 service call fee to the contractor and no other out of pocket fees. I wanted to take the time to write a positive review because it was a wonderful, easy process for us and hope it will be for others as well!

Greetings Jessica. Thank you for the review. Sometimes our claims can take awhile but a lot of those factors are contingent on the part availability, the cooperativeness of the homeowner, and the excellence of the supervisor.

Upgrading to 4 stars after dealing with a few more incidents with 2-10. While my first experience with a service call was not acceptable, they were eventually able to get that issue resolved and have successfully (and efficiently) helped me resolve 2 more issues. I think I will renew my service plan for next year based on more recent incidents with the company.

I have made 1 service request in the 8 months since purchasing a warranty. The company that 2-10 contracted for HVAC service was over 5 hours late in attempting to show up at my home. When I requested help from 2-10 to create more urgency for the ticket, I was made to feel as though it was my fault that the service provider failed to show up inside the window for service. If this was over 1 service request, I can't fathom how bad it must be for people who need more frequent service. This company is not the company you want to work with.

Hi there Nick S. According to our notes, we offered to set up an additional service request to find you a new contractor and also offered at one point the option of going out of network for expedited service. You turned down both offers and said you would stick with waiting for the appointment in order to not suffer any further delays. I am concerned to hear that we made you feel as though it was "your fault" that this request was not going quickly. If you could reply to this with a private message elaborating more on how we made you feel that way, we would greatly appreciate it. In any case, our offers are still available if you would like to try out obtaining faster service for your AC. Thank you.

It will also take a few days/weeks for the part to be delivered and then "some time" once the part is delivered for the AC tech to fit it in their schedule for repair. Even though I asked for this to be rushed as it is excessive heat and there are pets and older people in the home, he just says this is their procedure. I will be contacting all governmental and consumer protection agencies over 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty unethical business policies that put the public at risk.

When we bought the house, 2-10 was part of the mortgage, and we have renewed it since because they’re a good company. Claim submission over the phone went well. They took care of everything when we had a leak. The reps were great and they treated us like gold. The techs were good too. We called, and they came, and they took care of the dishwasher. They tried to fix it, but they finally had to replace the motherboard that was in there and got it repaired. We had some problem with the refrigerator and 2-10 took care of that also. I would recommend it.

Thank you for the review Carlo! We appreciate hearing that your dishwasher claim went smoothly and that you would recommend our services. Thank you for your dedication as a customer!

When we bought the house, the realtor told us about 2-10 and the home warranty was added on extra with the purchase. We've been covered since 2012 and we really like them. We haven’t had any problems whatsoever. That’s why we renew every year. The experience in submitting claims has been very good. Everyone’s always been very nice and helpful, and even if I have an emergency or after-hour situation, I always get through. My husband said that especially even if it’s on a Saturday, they’re always nice.
We have had some nightmares with technicians though. We have had multiple air conditioner problems and the technicians were as far away as Denver even though we live in Jacksonville, which is a city of over a million people. At least on two separate occasions, they dispatched an air conditioning company in Orlando, which is a four-hour drive from us. That was unbelievable to me.
This company didn't come out the same day and when they came up from Orlando, they looked at our air conditioner and needed to order a part so they had to get 2-10’s approval to do that. So they went back down there. Then the part took three weeks to get in and we were dying. It just so happened that it was in the spring. The temperature was not over 90 degrees, but it was in the 80s. It was really hot and uncomfortable. I kept calling to find out the status of things and that was when I found out that this company was in Orlando. The 2-10 rep said they had no idea and that the company had said that they take calls from Jacksonville. I was like, "Oh my God. Are you kidding me? We’re dying here.”
And the contractor was horrible. They were rude to us. Every time I would call and complain, we kept getting farther down on the list for getting serviced. I told 2-10 to never use that company again. They were the worst in the world. 2-10 told me that I could go on the website and make notes about the vendors. But I was so frustrated. I didn't wanna do that. At that time, I just wanted our air conditioner fixed. A year later, we had a different problem with our air conditioner and I called 2-10. They put out the call to somebody else in another city. There were air conditioning companies 10 minutes from our house. They didn't need to send somebody from another town to us.
There was another situation. It was a deal with Metro-Rooter. Our hot water heater wasn't working and the water went everywhere in our garage. So I called 2-10 and they did the same thing again. They got a hold of somebody that lives in the next town over. Why would they dispatch somebody that’s in a different town? It made no sense and they didn't get that. I told them that was not gonna work and that we had used another plumbing company in the past. Since it was on a weekday, I told the rep I would put the call on hold and called the company from my husband's phone to find out if they would accept 2-10 Home Warranty. The company's rep said they do so I went back on the other phone and told this lady that we wanna use Metro-Rooter. But she said that Metro-Rooter was not one of their approved vendors.
I told her that I have the Metro-Rooter rep on the other phone and she said that they had done visits with 2-10 Home Warranty many times. So we went back and forth and Metro-Rooter's rep said that they were doing business under some other name, Mr. Rooter. I was in the middle of two phones on either ear and I finally told this woman at 2-10 how to find Metro-Rooter in their database. Then she got everything approved and changed the vendor from the one that was out of town to Metro-Rooter. Metro-Rooter came out and replaced our hot water heater for $500. But everything else has been great. There is a slight room for improvement. But overall, we’re very satisfied.

My washing machine went out on 7/8 and as of today 7/30 my washing machine is still out. 2-10 could care less about helping us out. They have been nothing but robots on the phone, not interested in going the extra mile to help expedite the process, no sympathy, nothing but "this is our policy" so here we are almost a month without my washing machine and we have no end in sight. Repairman came out once to confirm what we already told them was the problem, then we were told two weeks for the part, then nope they don't make the part anymore it's discontinued, then "Nope. We have one", repairman comes back, nope still doesn't work, he said he was going to recommend to 2-10 a replacement machine because ours is discontinued and they don't make the part anymore...
Spoke to 2-10, "Nope. We are not doing that. We have ordered another part," still no word on when that part is arriving or when the repairman will be back. Refused to overnight the part or speed up this process in any way. We called them on day 30 of our policy and said we want to cancel and they changed their tone real quick but as soon as they assured us it would be handled here we are again stagnant. How many times do we have to go through the repair process before they replace? It's clear they do not care about satisfying their customers as you can see with the numerous complaints. I'll be sure to update after this is resolved one way or another. All I can do is warn others, find another group that expedites things like this. HVAC, washing machine, those need to be handled within a couple of days not several weeks.

We were forced to purchase a home owner’s warranty through 2-10 in order to sell the property, which had never happened before. 2-10 was very difficult to work with, and they made the experience incredibly hard. I was very disappointed. It took me hours and hours of time in work that I could have been actually working with clients and being paid. The person didn’t give me a correct answer. They found something that was wrong with the air conditioner, and, first, they told me it was under warranty, and that it was fine. So I was not worried about it. Then the next day, all of a sudden, it was not under warranty, and we had to go through this whole process of trying to figure out whether or not it was under warranty. I called them back over and over again. It was a very frustrating process, as well as an awful communication. I would not recommend them to anyone. I would not want to see it happen to someone else.

The previous occupants of the house that we bought were using 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. There was still some time left on the service and it was transferred over to us. We then renewed it this year. As far as submitting the claim, you diagnose what you feel the situation is, or if it was something that is concrete, you tell them what the situation is. The 2-10 will then have one of their folks schedule someone to come out and take a look at it, and you go from there. So far, we have only used the service twice. One had something to do with the garage. The guys who came out to do the work were prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable about what they were doing. It just made sense to stay with 2-10. It's good to know that if that situation arises to where we would need 2-10, we can call.

We bought the house in 2014 and 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with it. The house was brand new then and I thought to myself, "Why do we need to buy a warranty when the house is brand new?". As it turned out, the crappy stove that was put in the house failed within months and it was not long after I renewed the home warranty.
There are some pros and cons to having their home warranty. When the oven failed, it was an extremely intricate repair that we got jerked around with multiple vendors and nobody showed up. I’m paying them for the warranty and I was not getting anybody showing up. So, 2-10 did the right thing by refunding my $75 service fee because they knew they screwed us and that made me a happy camper. Also, the guy ended up fixing the oven and it has not failed since. He was professional, knew what he was doing and cleaned up when he was finished. He had to take half of the house apart to get to that one little part that he needed to change out in the oven. It also did not cost a dime to get the oven fixed.
The choking part was not that long ago, our refrigerator shit the bed on a Saturday morning. I’ve got $500 worth of food in the refrigerator and I’m paying 2-10 warranty 29 bucks a month to honor the warranty. So, I don’t want to hear any crap from somebody on the phone saying that the vendors have up to 48 hours of business days to respond to the call and nobody works on a weekend. I work on the weekend, so they might work on the weekend, too. I was told that a vendor could be calling me on Monday morning or I had to wait possibly Tuesday. I bet that within the 8,000 pages that I had to sign in the beginning to pay for the warranty, there was probably a fine print in there that says, “We don’t care about you on a Saturday." And as it turned out, we never even got a call back the following week from any vendor. I was pissed off.
On the other hand, the young woman I spoke to on the phone was wonderful, but there was nothing she could do because she’s just a peon like I am. If I can get away with getting rid of this warranty because it sucks, I would do it in a heartbeat. If I had the time to have searched out a better warranty, I would have been gone right then and there. If people were to ask me about my home warranty, I’d tell them not to use 2-10 and I'd tell them exactly why.

Hi Paul. Thank you for the review. You outlined some really specific areas we need to work on improving. The fact that you had multiple vendors with your stove/oven claim that caused you unnecessary stress/delays is concerning and must be addressed. We also apologize that you felt the turn around time for hearing back from a contractor was too late. We hire locally owned businesses to service our clients and they create their own schedules. Many of them are willing to work on the weekends but most across the board are only available during the week. We provide the 48 hour disclaimer taking into account the contractor's schedule and the potential high volume of work they are dealing with. The fact that you did not hear back from anyone within that timeframe is very concerning and will be reported internally. We are going to escalate your review and do our best to try and fix this claim for you moving forward.

Should you buy a home warranty plan to cover your AC Unit or not? That is the question!!! If you buy one, please do not buy it from 2-10 Home Warranty! BUYERS BEWARE! I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!! If I could give a negative star rating I most certainly would do so. I placed a Service Request for my HVAC System on June 19, 2018. It is July 27, 2018... I REPEAT it is July 27, 2018 and my HVAC issues have not been resolved. 2-10 Home Warranty dispatched an unqualified and inexperienced contractor named AIR DESIGN A/C & Heating to my home. They visited my home on 5 different occasions. Aren't they qualified technicians? The first time they came, they went into the attic, checked the unit outside, and claimed they repaired the AC (less than 10 mins). I stated that the AC is still not cooling very well... Something is not correct.
Only then did they make a poor attempt to troubleshoot and assess my issue further. What do you know... I needed a compressor and someone will be in touch! This is clearly by design to appease you by dispatching someone to your home but not actually fix anything. Needless to say this contractor is not qualified to service any AC units or even be in business period! I guess the contractors are only as good as the service provider (i.e. 2-10 Home Warranty). So shame on 2-10 Home Warranty for continuing to employ and dispatch such contractors when I'm so certain they are very aware of the countless complaints about this unprofessional and unreliable contractor!
I am completely getting the run around from 2-10. They stated they were waiting on a diagnosis from the contractor before they could move forward. So, I called the contractor and they stated they had already submitted the diagnosis and were waiting for 2-10's approval. I called 2-10 back and they stated "ma'am we have 1,000's of claims to review" So, basically they take your money, but clearly don't the adequate resources or staff to resolve issues in a timely manner or just do the right human thing!!! This is a bad business model and what a poor way to treat paying customers. On to making a complaint to BBB. I will definitely not be recommending 2-10 to anyone EVER!!!

I used to be a realtor and when we were purchasing the home, I wanted to make sure the house was under warranty, so my office utilized 2-10. I called at the beginning of July to file a claim for my washing machine and it took two and a half weeks for a contractor to come out. There are six people in the house and to this moment, I still don’t have a working washing machine.
The first contractor canceled without any communication with me. So 2-10 had to send another contractor out. He came out but it took him a while to process his work. When he left the house, he told me he was gonna recommend total replacement of the machine because the amount of hours of labor that it would take would supersede the cost of the appliance. So I waited. He said we’d hear from 2-10, not the contracting company, and he had to submit the paperwork. However, I never heard from 2-10 and so I called them after a week. And I got word that parts are now being ordered. But the second contractor said that he was recommending replacement so I was confused. That claim experience with 2-10 was bad and I’m still waiting for service.
Although I've been using 2-10 for over two years now, at this point I would not renew the warranty. It would have been easier for me to bypass this whole thing and buy a new machine. 2-10 is gonna lose customers if the people that they’re contracting with recommend something and then they fight it, which is going to only extend me being without a major household appliance. That’s very frustrating. All the appliances in the home are brand new or two years old so I was not putting a warranty on old machines and it’s not like I’m expecting to score a free appliance.

As with several other reviews I've read, I'd give zero stars but that isn't an option. One of my AC units went out and I called 2-10. They referred me to a contractor and we played "phone tag" for a few days to set up an appointment. I finally called the contractor as soon as they opened for business and was on hold for over an hour before I got someone on the line to schedule an appointment two days later. I was told that the technician would come between 7-8 pm, which seemed rather late to me.
On the day of the appointment, at 8:05 pm, no technician. I call the company and they're closed for the day (they closed at 7 pm). In addition, I don't get a call from the technician saying that he is on the way. The technician finally arrives at 8:55 pm. I answer the door and tell the technician that I didn't think that he was coming. He doesn't apologize nor explain why he was late nor why he didn't call to give me a status.
The good part is that he finished the work in about 15 minutes. I paid the $75 service fee, with a check. That was on July 5, 2018. Here it is July 26 and my check still hasn't cleared. My premiums with 2-10 increase every year, yet I have very limited coverage. I am considering switching to American Home Shield, as they seem to be cheaper and provide greater coverage.

Submitted an online request for service. 2 days later, I called 2-10 to request a different provider be assigned, as no one from the first company ever contacted us. Miraculously that afternoon, they showed up, diagnosed the problem, and ordered parts (a $40 fan blade that was available locally but they said they had to get from within their network because of the "huge contract price savings" - which would have ended up being about $8 savings). Ten days later the part was still not in, and the AC unit stopped working. I called again and was told no one would come out until the part came in, even though this was a totally different problem from the first visit.
I called a local company because we were now totally without AC in the middle of summer. That company was able to fix the unit the same day, but refused to deal with 2-10 based of previous bad experiences. Because I reportedly didn't contact 2-10 first (which I did, and also received the OK to go out of network), they are not willing to pay for the repairs. They indicated they would pay around $600 of the total $6,000 bill, but I have yet to see the first penny of reimbursement.
First provider, useless which is why their online star rating is 1, and the reviewer comments say to stay away from them. When I requested a second provider, that contractor never contacted us. When I had the repairs taken care of the same day, 2-10 refuses to cover even half the costs. Not sure why we continue with the service, and will review our decision at the end of this year's contract.

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came to us through the purchase of our home. When our garage door was getting stuck, we submitted a claim which went fine and was fairly simple. Everybody was very helpful when we called 2-10 to file the claim. We told the claims reps what the problem was and they sent a contractor out to assess the problem and take care of it. The contractor was fine but the cost of $5,000, which we had to pay out-of-pocket aside from the $60 deductible, was overpriced so we ended up not going that route.
since I couldn’t wait for 2-10 to send another contractor, I had a serviceman come out to look at my garage door. When I told this guy that we have a homeowner’s warranty, he told me that we might wanna go with 2-10 instead, because he was gonna end up replacing the door and if that didn’t work, it was gonna be a guessing game on what the problem was. I was gonna call 2-10 back out, but my husband did the work and got a kink out, and 2-10 cut us a check for the difference. We ended up spending less money in buying the part and putting it on ourselves than we would have if we had 2-10 send somebody out to do this for $60. We got our money back because 2-10 allows customers to price gouge. So, in essence, we paid ourselves to do the repair work at a lot cheaper cost.

Got a phone call from Jennifer, a customer advocate, feel a lot better now that I know the entire story-line behind the issue. It's less than ideal that I had to come to this site in order to escalate the claim and that wasn't suggested by one of their customer service reps initially.
Long story short, old air handler requires an OEM part which is hard to find. Contractor attempted to find part locally, was unable to do so and so had to ask 2-10 to locate part which they did. Unfortunately, part is located in a different state so it has to be shipped to contractor.
Unfortunate situation, but is what it is.

Air conditioning unit ceased functioning on the morning of Friday, July 13th. Filed claim for repair same morning. After a hot and humid weekend I was contacted by Southern Comfort HVAC on Monday and was told the earliest appointment available was not until Wednesday, July 18th. The contractors showed up around 10 am that day, spent about 5 minutes looking at the system and diagnosed a bad blower motor. When asked about an ETA for repair the contractors stated that they would write up the recommended repair and "maybe" get it to 2-10 before the weekend. "Maybe"...
Called contractor on Friday and was rudely told that they would get to the repair when they got to it and that our diagnosis had yet to be submitted. When questioned about a sense of urgency or possibly expediting the claim, was told "I don't know what to tell you, we'll fix it when we can"... Unacceptable. Called 2-10 to request a different service contractor and had AAction Air out the next day. Much better contractor, but now the contractor's hands are tied because 2-10 is insisting on ordering the part (which is available locally at any HVAC supply store).
We're now on day 12 with no air conditioning unit... In Savannah, GA... In July... with no ETA as to when it will be fixed. There has been zero sense of urgency from 2-10 at any stage and I've had to play messenger between the contractor and 2-10 more than I can count. In speaking with the contractor privately, I was informed that this type of repair is usually a same-day or at least next day fix and here I am 12 days later with no AC. Temperatures in the house are regularly above 90 degrees. Can't believe I paid $600 for this, will definitely be shopping elsewhere for home warranty service when this contract ends and will tell anyone who is willing to listen to stay away from 2-10.

Hi there Matt. We appreciate your feedback. We apologize for the contractor issues and the seemingly lack of follow up from our team. Your review will be escalated to our team and someone from our escalation department will contact me soon.

2-10 Home was made available when we bought our house. We've had them going on five years, and so far, so good. I called to submit claims and the contractors they sent were good. I’m not knowledgeable about repairs and so I always feel at a disadvantage when somebody is repairing something and they tell me something. I didn’t like the fact that the contractor who came to fix my washer argued with me when I called him back out because my washing machine was shaking. It's his word against mine, but I know that it didn’t shake before it was repaired.

We submitted a couple of claims to 2-10. We did everything online and the response time wasn't too bad. However, there was some sort of miscommunication where there was one claim where it would have been covered under the basic plan and we didn’t understand. We have a very basic refrigerator. It’s just a refrigerator and the freezer and then they covered that. But then, it’s like you have a refrigerator with a couple extra features on there. We have an ice maker and a water dispenser as well. They dissected those and said those are included in the upgraded plan. But then when we came to find out as we were starting to do more research on our home on the actual refrigerator, things weren’t working. We didn’t exactly know what happened.
They weren’t willing to send anyone else to actually look at it prior. The ice maker was still working and it was just the water dispenser that wasn’t. But then, we came to find out that the temperature stuff wasn’t working. Again, that’s because it was a more complicated refrigerator versus the standard freezer and refrigerator combo. We thought that should have been covered and that problem was fixed and it also fixed a couple of other issues supposedly. So I guess other things got dissected, too, and I’m not exactly sure how it went off because when we bought the house, the appliances that came with it was a microwave, the oven, and all the kitchen stuff.
It was a lot of confusion and it seems like to me there was a resistance of trying to get someone out here unless it was known to come out here. We had some issues with some of our plumbing with our sink in the bathroom and the problems were resolved but they also kinda weren’t because, again, our basic didn’t cover some of the other issues that we’re gonna have to go do on our own.
Even so, the contractor was fine. He was more than willing to help out the best he could under the constraints of what he was working with. A couple of contractors who came out, one for the plumbing, was very helpful as well. He gave us a lot of other information. When we put our money together and would wanna do it, we plan to use him again to get him set up for some other stuff.

Thank you for the review Dean. We appreciate reading that you have had an overall positive experience with your warranty. We can understand some of the confusion that arrises when it comes to ice maker coverage and what parts of the fridge are separate from the ones not covered. We are relieved to hear that it all worked out in the end and we appreciate your continued business.

I have now been waiting 2+ months for this company to resolve the issue with my broken air conditioning. I would strongly discourage anyone from going through this company, as their model of customer service prevents adequate follow-up. For weeks and weeks, I have been calling and speaking with different customer service operators. So far working with company, I have had to deal with the following issues: 1) the first service provider who failed to submit diagnostic after paying them $100, 2) wait another 2+ weeks for second service provider to perform second diagnostic, 3) repeated calls with 2-10 reps being told that they are waiting for the second service provider to provide them with just one more piece of information, 4) authorizing a purchase order only to find out weeks later that the purchase was still being disputed and they were still waiting for information from service provider.
Even after demanding repeatedly that my case be escalated to a supervisor, there has been absolutely no follow-up. Nothing ever gets done on my case until I call and make demands. I have spent countless hours in the past months on the phone with customer service representatives, and still nothing has been resolved. There have been multiple times when I've been told that everything is in order only to call back a few days later and find out there is still something missing. This company has treated me absolutely terribly. Terrible model of customer service!!!!

Have been paying for 2-10 Home Warranty Supreme coverage for a few years. The coverage states that garage door openers are covered under the warranty. Filed a service request when the opener went out. They scheduled a contractor to come out to service the opener. Paid the $60 service fee for coming out only to be told that it’s not covered because it’s a detached garage then tried to sell all sorts of things!!! HELLO!!?? Detached or not, the garage IS part of my home! Why should I be penalized for my garage being detached when someone with an attached garage gets coverage? I feel I was ripped off for the $60 AND for not being covered for what I pay for!

The contractor came to the house July 25th, reviewed the AC unit, analysis indicated that the unit needed to be replaced, today August 6th the contractors came, changed the unit and the AC is up and running again =), the process took longer than expected for an essential appliance during hot days but happy to say that the company fulfilled its promise and replaced the unit SAVING US thousands of dollars.
Original Review: July 24, 2018
AC has broke 3 times this year, the first and second time has been sort of fix and worked for a few days but then again broken (these 3 times its been in since June 8 so over a month and still no solution). Tomorrow will be A FULL WEEK without AC and not a single word from Home Warranty, HW called 4 days ago, to meet their 72 hrs max that the company seems to have as a target to find a contractor, well they told us they found a contractor and we are still waiting for that contractor to come and not a single follow up from HW (at least pretend to care but nothing). Our area has been on/off of the heating warning activation and the heat is becoming unbearable, specially for our kid, house is getting humid as we need to have windows open to circulate air. Does HW has a maximum amount of days to have a contractor come to your house? Not talking about pretending to find a contractor. So far not a good experience with Home Warranty.

I live in Olympia, WA. Every time I have a claim that is specifically covered in my policy, which should only cost my $75 deductible, I try to call this company, which always takes a minimum of at least an hour on hold. When I get through, I am told they will attempt to find a contractor in my area and get back to me within 24 to 72 hours. Usually it is longer than that. I get told the out of area contractor (they only have one contracted plumber 40 miles away from Olympia to service Tacoma through all SW Washington) schedules then cancels. I always am left to hire a contractor at my own expense, but only after having received a runaround for a couple of weeks. The latest was on my sump pump which was an emergency. I shouldn't have to wait or pay for these when they are clearly covered by the contract. The company is rude and unapologetic. They take your money, but don't staff the contract or honor it. Beware!

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with my home when I bought it and I’ve had them for about four years now. My first claim did not go so well though. Our hot water tank went out and the people who were supposed to do it came and told me that they would be back the next day with a new hot water tank. Then they called back saying that they were not going to make it back until 10 days later. I called 2-10 and they said that they couldn’t make it happen any faster than that. 10 days without hot water was just not acceptable. And that was exactly what ended up happening–10 days without hot water.
Another time that I had to put in a plumbing claim was when I discovered a leak in our foundation with the slat house. We had to turn off the water to the house. 2-10 sent a plumber and that plumber came out immediately and once again, I couldn’t get them back out to do anything for 10 days. After that 10-day period, I called 2-10 back and told them that nothing was happening with the plumbing company.
The people who were here to dry out the walls were doing their job but the plumbing company just kept putting me off. The 2-10 lady told me that it was completely unacceptable and that the plumbing company was not reporting back to 2-10 either. She told me that she would report the company to their division that handles their vendors and that she would send me a new plumbing company. Then she gave me their name and number and contacted them. I contacted them immediately and even though it was after hours, I got a woman who said that she would send a master plumber the next morning at 8 AM and she did. On two different occasions when I had to have an AC service, the servicemen were coming out of Jacksonville and I’m at least an hour south of Jacksonville. So, getting them out here might take them a day or two. The second time that I had to file a claim with 2-10 though, it was handled quickly.

2-10 Home Buyer's Warranty has done really well for the two years that I've been with them. Every time I've been to their website to file a claim, it has been really easy to find what I've been looking for and quick to file a claim. In addition, the contractors have been really nice and friendly. They’ve called me quickly and gotten everything taken care of without an issue. We’ve been happy with 2-10. I’ve also recommended them to quite a few people and mentioned them to my sister. When she purchased her house, they had a different home warranty provider and they didn’t cover anything. So, I told her that when she gets her next house, she should ask the company if she can get 2-10.

If so don’t waste time calling 2-10 home warranty. We had sewage backing up into our bathrooms and showers and all over the floor. My wife called 2-10 and talked to the dispatch person “who apparently didn’t put it in the system properly” and they gave her two numbers for alleged 24 hour plumbers that were closed. When she called back to let dispatch know and try to get help finding a plumber, they had no one else. We had to call another plumber that showed up at 6pm on a Sunday night to help us out. 2-10 is now denying the claim and won't even get it fixed properly so it doesn’t happen again. They would rather pay for their $44 plumber to come out every other day to snake out the drains and pray that it works.
I don’t know about anyone else but I would never recommend this company. Sounds like they want you to live in squalor while they take your premiums for themselves. If I could give them negative stars I would. Unbelievable that the supervisor Lisa kept avoiding the issues. And to top it off the Air conditioning company they sent out “had an appointment” decided they didn’t feel like coming out. So now I want to know if 2-10 is going to pay for the water damage and mold certification that is needed because their contractor “didn’t want to work”? According to Lisa from 2-10. Surprisingly she didn’t seemed very concerned about it at all. Now if this is how you run a business, you won't be a business long.

I purchased a 2 year warranty. The 1st year is almost over, and I am requesting a refund for my 2nd year. I've requested service 5 times. 3 of those 5 times have been horrible experiences! The 1st horrible experience was rectified, but in an untimely manner. The 2nd was a few months ago when my tub handle broke. I had to take a day off of work, as the contractor I was assigned to, could only give 8 hr window periods, for arrival time. Ridiculous! The contractors arrived in the morning, and were filthy, smelly, and unprofessional. They kept saying it would be difficult to find the exact same handle. I told them I didn't care if the handles were different, I just wanted it fixed. They left, and agreed to get back to me, once the parts were approved.
The next day, I receive a call from 2-10, informing me that my claim was denied because the contractors said the handle broke because of mis-use and abuse. How do you mis-use a tub handle?? Turn on, turn off! Mind you, I paid extra for the Supreme service, which is supposed to cover tub handles! I then had to wait for my service fee to be refunded by check, via mail. I ended up paying over $300 to have the handles repaired and they're covered by my policy.
My 3rd, and hopefully, final horrible experience was just rectified last week. My AC was not working... Called for service. 1st contractor never called, or responded to my voice-mails. 2nd contractor scheduled to come out, but never came. After I left a voice-mail, asking what happened, he sent me a text, saying "find someone else to fix your AC," claiming his van broke down. 3rd contractor never called, or responded to my voice-mails. I was then told by 2-10, to find my own contractor, pay, and get reimbursed. I had been without AC in 95+ degree weather for over 2 weeks. The temp in my house would get as high as 96 degrees, and my elderly mother who has a heart condition lives with me.
At this point, I was enraged. I had no idea if I would be able to afford the service up front. I requested to speak with someone about canceling my 2nd year warranty. I was transferred to Sales, where the rep informed me I could find my own contractor, but did not have to pay upfront, which is what I did. I was handed off to the escalation team who acted swiftly. My contractor fixed the AC, and was paid by 2-10. 2-10 scrapes the bottom of the barrel with the contractors they send to our homes, and they should be ashamed of themselves! Every contractor I've worked with from 2-10, has been unprofessional, unreliable, and unkempt. If I could give them negative stars, I would!

When the icemaker on the refrigerator was leaking, 2-10's contractor came out three times and did a really good job. Then when the microwave door was cracked and 2-10 got it fixed. At first they weren’t gonna fix it because the microwave has continued to run but I said, “Well, I had a pacemaker in my left chest and I can’t be exposed to x-ray or to radiation, so I essentially can’t use the microwave.” So their contractor came out and repaired the door. Then on a recent claim for the garage door, I cancelled the appointment since I was able to fix the door after I made the claim. The cancellation was handled very well and very efficiently. When the 2-10 contractor sent me an email saying they would be in touch they were never in touch, so they apparently got the cancellation also. Overall, I've had positive experience with 2-10 so I plan to renew it unless something goes wrong between now and the time for renewal.

This is a warning to all who are considering buying a home warranty from 2-10. Don’t do it! My wife and I purchased a home warranty from 2-10 last year. Last month two of our a/c units failed. We called 2-10 before having a contractor do the repairs and receive approval to have the repairs done, including the price the contractor quoted. We even had the contractor talk with the 2-10 representative. With their approval we had the repairs scheduled for the following week. All seemed good and we were cool again.
Following the repairs. We submitted our receipts to 2-10, per their policy. Now comes the bad news. This week we learned they would only pay 1/3 of the costs of repairs! It turns out the original Representative that gave us the approval didn’t follow proper procedures when she approved the work. After multiple conversations and several hours on the phone with their customer service people, they have refused to pay the amount they originally committed to us. Also, despite several requests, no one from management will call us back. As a result, we had to pay $2,700 out of our pocket. All they had to do was honor the original commitment, instead they have lost our trust, and hopefully yours.

After confirming with the service company and technician that they DID NOT say that, 2-10 still stands behind the denial because the service company can't say exactly when the part failed.
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, even WORSE BUSINESS ETHICS and defeats the purpose of even having a home warranty in the first place. Even the service company admits the right thing to do is complete the repair. I renewed my contract with 2-10 because of my experience with them on my water heater.

I've had home warranty coverage from 2-10 for a little over 4 years. I do appreciate having the peace of mind that they will fix something when it's needed for only a service charge. However...I am currently having a very bad experience with this company. My AC went out last Saturday (it's Thursday), and I realize that most AC repair folks don't work on the weekend. My AC has gone out several times before and I always get the same repair guy and he's great! He called and said he'd be right out on Tuesday. Awesome!! Well he inspects the AC and sees that he needs a part. He calls 2-10 and asks them if they approve the repairs. They say yes, but he is going on vacation the next day and can't do the repairs.
They cancel the dispatch and tell him they will transfer to another contractor to do the repairs. I hear nothing from them or a new contractor. Now it's Thursday and HOT and I have no air. I called 2-10 and they said it was never dispatched and they put me on hold to call multiple AC repair shops to get someone out to the house. They found a contractor to come out and dispatched the ticket to them. BUT...they did not pass on any information about what my original contractor told them. So the new AC guys came out lost, not knowing what was wrong, and now I'm sure this will be delayed again because they need to order a part!!! Very poor communication with different contractors.
Updated on July 31, 2018: So I wrote a review earlier about the very disappointing service that I received from the AC contractors that were sent to my house, but this is actually about 2-10. Now I've been having issues with my AC for almost 2 years now and have had several service requests. After 9 days I finally got a contractor that was professional and diagnosed my problem (after 2 other contractors had already diagnosed). Now we need a part... this is what takes an act of Congress I assume. It's now been 7 more days and 2-10 says they have to ship the part to the contractor because the nearest place to get it is over 60 miles away. Which ok, I can see that. But when I looked at my status on the website, it says ETA of 8/8!!! That is 8 more days!! OMG... this is summer in NC and it will have been a month by the time I get the AC fixed.
I would have gotten in the car and drove 60 miles to pick up the part if I knew it would take that long! I have Supreme coverage as well and I am not happy with the support I'm receiving. They did give me $250 towards an AC but one AC in my house doesn't do much when it is 90 degrees and 85% humidity. I need another AC just to keep it comfortable! I am going to seriously think about not renewing my contract next year. Almost $100 a month for the last 4 years should equal a new AC don't you think? I just wanted to let the public know to think twice before counting on a home warranty plan when you live in the South.

The part was finally ordered on June 26th so they say. We have now been playing the game of Where's the Part? Ever since. Cannot get a straight answer from anyone. My next calls are to Arizona Registrar of Contractors and the AZ Attorney General's office tomorrow. I would not recommend 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to anyone. We pay a premium to them and the way they treat their customers is appalling. 5 weeks without air conditioning in an AZ summer should be against the law. I have pets at home and they just don't care at all.

Hi there Joann. Thank you for the feedback. We apologize for the delays you have experienced. We have escalated this for you and we will have an advocate reach out to you shortly.

When we bought the house, 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with it and having the warranty is convenient so we stayed with them. We used it when our air conditioning had a problem. I called and they notified a local provider. The provider contacted me, set up an appointment, came out and checked out the unit. I paid them the fee. They found out what was wrong with it, had to order some parts and then came back, did the repair and that was it.
2-10's customer service did a good job. The only time that I had an issue with them was when I had a plumbing problem and it seemed like the more things that came up with our house, the fewer things they actually covered. I had a problem with the water line and since it wasn't inside the foundation, it wasn't covered. I had a problem with a stove and apparently, the way our stove was set up wasn't covered. I had an issue with an attic fan and that wasn't covered either. I only have the one experience where the warranty did anything for me. All the rest of them, I ended up having to pay somebody to come and do something for me. I doubt that I would recommend it.
2-10 is good if you have some major thing that failed like it paid for an outside unit. It was awesome but they didn't buy a new unit. They paid to repair the old unit which seemed to be a little weird to me. Even the guy who came out thought that it was weird that they were having him rebuild the unit. His recommendation would have been to replace it. It would be nice if they are a little more clear on what's covered and what's not covered since the way they write their huge long deal is very confusing. Also, I ended up spending $100 here, $70 there and $200 here. I paid extra $99 to have certain things included. It makes it not necessarily worth the amount of money that I paid per year for the thing.

Thank you for the review Michael. We appreciate your constructive criticism on how we can improve our language in our service agreement so that more homeowners are clear on our coverages.

I would give 0 stars, but system does not allow it. I received this warranty when I bought my house 2 years ago and I renewed them as I thought it was a good idea to keep this coverage for unexpected issues. More than a month ago my AC unit went down. I pay for an annual service contract for preventive maintenance so I called them first. They refill the gas but told me that the unit was so old that it was not going to hold on for a lot more. A week after it failed again. I created a service request and so far it is a month after in one of the hottest years ever and my issue hasn't been solved. 2-10 will do everything possible to avoid paying for the replacement of your unit, so we are waiting for a part to be bought by some central area. It is a month already and we are still waiting for the part.
Every time you call them, it's useless, they don't give you any information and they are not nice at all around your problem. I don't want to know what would happen if my furnace fails during the winter in Michigan waiting for them to solve my issue. Now when I found this site to publish a complaint, I found that I am not the only one. Other customers are complaining about exactly the same issue!! My guess is that this is a company that is good to charge you, but will do everything possible to not pay for your requests. Definitely won't keep my business with them, and by now I am starting to lose my hope that my issue will be solved.

On Thursday June 21, 2018, we authorized 2-10 to replace our broken condenser. They advised that they would get the part ordered and as soon as it came in the repair company would come replace the condenser. It is now almost a month with no response, an email for a reason for the delay and we live in San Antonio Texas where the temp is up into 100's. This is not the first time. We had to have our washer serviced. Took 2-10 over a month to finally decide to replace the washer because they could not locate the part. I am a real estate agent and I when a client sells their home we purchase 2-10 warranty for the new buyer. NOT ANYMORE.
I was told 5-7 days and then 2 weeks. This is absolutely ridiculous and when I asked for a manager the person I was speaking to - Lisa #** told me that I am frustrated that I don't have an a/c but that's how it works. I have my 98 yr old grandfather and 75 year old mother here with me and the heat is unbearable and 2-10 did not care nor wish to assist me in finding another solution or bother to follow up with me to provide me with an ETA as manager Devon ** stated would happen. Just not a very professional company - or possibly the employee Lisa needed a break when I called. Either way - we still have no repairs done.

Thank you for the constructive feedback Lisa. We apologize for many of the issues you are facing especially since you have the health of your family to consider. Your review is being escalated and we will do what we can to turn this around for you.

When we purchased our house, we thought it was great that it came with a warranty for the first year. We never needed to call them until 8 months in when our AC stopped working. We contacted 2-10 and they told us we would just need to pay the $100 deductible and everything else would be take care of. After hearing that, we were actually planning to purchase a second year warranty from 2-10. Unfortunately, it has been all downhill from there. We had a friend look at the unit that works in the AC business and he said the unit needed replaced. The warranty then sent out their contractor who confirmed the same thing. He said they would be in touch to schedule the repair, but a few days later we were called and told they would not replace the unit and instead are only replacing the compressor. On top of that, they said the cost would be closer to $600 instead of the $100 that we were promised.
They knew we were desperate and in the midst of a 100 degree summer so we didn’t have a choice but to pay. They then proceeded to say we had to wait for the warranties parts to come in which would take an addition 3-5 business days. Fast forward a month later and the job is still not done. Every time we called to check on the parts we were told it would take another day. We have now spent close to $1000 on window units, contractors, and the fees 2-10 has charged us. We’ve missed multiple days of work and spent hours on the phone with 2-10. One month later it’s still dangerously warm in our home and we’re waiting for 2-10 to patch an AC unit that they admit needs replaced. They’ve definitely lost our business and others which is unfortunate because we would have referred other home buyers and would have bought additional warranties for ourselves.

At this point there isn't much to like. I pay $500 each year for this service. I pay $100 every time someone comes out to work on my AC. My electric bill goes up by over $100 every time this issue happens. At this point I have actually paid for the new unit. 2 years at $500 each, two service calls at $100 each, and two electric bills that went up over $100 each... that is over $1,400 which would buy a brand new unit for my home yet 2-10 continually puts a band-aid on it rather than make it right.

The people I bought the house from highly recommended 2-10 Home Buyers so I went straight to them. To submit a claim we call them and tell them the problems and then they check online and see if we're covered. If they cover for that particular damage we have then they will send a local guy within 24 to 48 hours, but mostly within 24 hours. I just pay a flat deal of $60 and 2-10 takes care of the rest and if they have to order parts or something, it takes another few days, but other than that they're really good. Whenever we call they really take care of it. They got good contractors. They did their job right and I will highly recommend them. They're really reliable and responsible.

My 1st experience with 2-10 was my washing machine. They sent a guy in a rusted out 30 year old van to fix it. He was here 5 minutes couldn't fix it. So 2-10 offered a new one. Took a month to get, and it is horrible, jumps all over, is really really loud and doesn't wash clothes well. They sent the same guy back, he was here 5 minutes and couldn't fix it. I said, "You didn't even look," he said, "For 75 bucks I don't have time." I still have a crappy washer, after several complaints. Now my 1970 AC unit died I called in an emergency, as my father is undergoing chemo and its 97 with 75% humidity here. I was told I'd hear from someone within 4 hours, nope didn't happen, called they said, “Oops we meant 24 hours.” I ended up calling that contractor. He was rude, barely spoke English and said he don't have time for my $75.00 and hung up.
I called and requested the guy that did my heat tune up. He came, said he can't read the model numbers on the unit as it's all rusted out. He recommended a new unit. He spent a good hour here checking everything out. 2-10 called and said, “We are looking for parts, we'll call you by tomorrow.” (This is 330 friday.) No call. I call Saturday they found a part to an AC unit 48 years old and it will take another week to come in, and will cost me $50.00. That was customer service, they know nothing. They are sweet and cheerful, but anything but helpful, they say someone will call, someone else's department they will call, “We send you an email, call this department.” That is not help, that is pass the buck. I spoke with a manager. I will never recommend this company, and I spoke to my realtor, so hopefully she won't recommend them either.

I would give zero stars but this was not an option. I bought my home on May 5th 2018, and my air conditioning system went out on May 15th 2018. I had all required inspections performed before purchasing, including HVAC and home inspection, at my expense. According to the HVAC contractor, my unit and system were functioning flawlessly. 10 days after moving in, the AC system locked up and has not worked properly since. I had purchased the highest warranty level offered through 2-10 Home Warranty in Denver Co.
Subsequently, I am still trying to get my issue resolved after two months of going back and forth with 2-10. The contractor they sent out told me that the unit was a ton too small for my house, does not meet North Carolina minimal code for the A/C, and they just advised me that I should pay 9 grand out of my pocket to have the unit replaced to code. The problem I have, among the sorry customer service, passing of the "buck", willful disregard for customer service and an apathetic attitude towards honoring the warranty I purchased is that no one there is willing to do what they guaranteed when I purchased this warranty.
They were very efficient at cashing my check for the warranty and are even more efficient at doing absolutely nothing to help out their customers. Following my last conversation with a 2-10 representative, Shanee, who advised me to just go ahead and have someone replace the entire system for $9,000.00 out of my pocket, I have contacted multiple news and media outlets who are very interested in pursuing bogus homeowner warranty companies such as 2-10. Looking very much forward to seeing the expose on national news syndicates and 2-10's response to how they make a lucrative living off of ripping honest and hardworking people off.
I would absolutely welcome the owner of 2-10 to give me a call personally to discuss this matter, but based on my previous interactions with their employees, I highly doubt that this will happen. I would also like to extend a cordial invitation to 2-10 to send a representative to my house to enjoy an 85 degree morning, afternoon and/Or evening in my home to see just how "wonderful" their repairs and service are not working. 2018 is the 7th hottest on record in 140 years in North Carolina since it has been tracked, and my family and I have experienced every single 100+ degree of it thanks to 2-10. Great job at doing absolutely nothing but ripping me off and making my family suffer in this extreme heat.

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was offered with the sale of the house when we purchased our home and due to the ease of not having to deal with a different one, this is now our fourth year with them. I usually submit a claim over the phone and it’s a fair experience. Also, the contractors are usually very good. One time, I had to call someone out on a holiday weekend and I ended up having to pay something. It took a little time but I got 2-10 to reimburse all but the 50 bucks. 2-10 tend to pester a little bit about renewing but I understand it’s part of their job and they offer a better price to renew early such as 50 or 100 bucks off. The experience is trifling because typically when you have to call for something, you have problems and you're really not in a very good mood. But I've been satisfied with them and I'd recommend them to a friend.

With our home purchase four years ago, came a 2-10 Home Warranty provided by the seller. We renewed it the following year and subsequent years as it was our first experience owning a 20+ year home and thought it would be a good idea. In the last three years, we have had to pay for 4 service calls for a HVAC cooling problem (waiting 3-5 days each time in the hot summer for a tech to arrive) only to put leak stop and refrigerant in a 23 year old HVAC. The last two techs said the HVAC needed to be replaced because parts can no longer be purchased. 2-10 refuses to replace the unit, stating that as long as the tech can get it to cool before leaving the property, they have provided the "proper service".
After 30 days, we will have to pay another $100 when it stops cooling again. One of the techs said that it was a carbon monoxide hazard and that we should have plenty of alarms and that 2-10 is known in the service industry to just "parts old systems to death instead of replacing them". At this point, we have paid more in premiums that if we would have just replaced the system in the first place. I called customer service many times to no avail. Customer service reps do not have e-mails or phone numbers you can contact them directly. Each time you call you have to talk to someone new. The last one said they would refund our latest service call and that never happened. We will not renew and would not recommend this company.

When we bought the house, keeping 2-10, which came with it, saved us some money as it already got transferred to us. But then, I had no idea how to be a home buyer so I did not know about homebuyers' warranties versus home warranties. At that time, I turned the washer on and it was bad. We paid out of our pocket to get a guy come out and repair that since I did not know that the home warranty would have paid for that. When I learned all about home warranties, I did my research and I could not find anybody who heard of 2-10 at all. We looked at reviews online but we could not go by those as people tend to be negative for they wanted everything.
We had the coverage since we closed on the home just before Christmas. It would expire in two weeks and I will not renew it. They called me today to see if we wanted to renew our plan. My wife and I had to sit down and discuss everything and what made us decide not to renew besides the prices for what they want was what it would cost us for the warranty versus if there would be things that would go out on the house that we could just pay for out of our pocket. One of these factors was when our water heater went out. When we had the house inspected, we didn't skim ourselves on the inspection thinking we hired the best there was. However, we were told that our water heater was not up to code. I had a plumber in town who was a block from my house so I already knew what was needed to have the water heater up to code and we couldn't believe 2-10 didn't call him.
Some guy who had a regular pickup truck but didn't have the tools to do his job came and he told us that 2-10 called him to replace the water heater for us. The kind of person they sent to do the repairs wasn't even a licensed plumber which was important since it is gas and the house could burn out. I was distraught about that but we were desperate to have the thing done. I've got the proper line where it's called a gas line so I ended up finishing it myself. When I go back to work as I'm out of workers' compensation right now, I'm just gonna have someone to come out of my pocket. I got a water heater but I haven't checked to ensure the job was done thoroughly.
We're getting ready to do some massive work on the house. People will always tell me recommendations but I couldn't listen to those in this small town. They would promise somebody who's really good but it would turn out that they don't know anything about what they’re doing or the proper tools to do it so I'd rather have someone and pay extra to get it in right than halfway done.

Had an AC claim open since 6/23/2018, it is now July 11, 2018. It's mid summer in Florida without a working A/C. I had to call every day to get updates on the claim and what the next step was in the whole process. I hired my own contractor to properly diagnostic the system so I had an idea what to expect. The company provided me with multiple items wrong with the unit and provided detailed pictures and explanations throughout the report. Refilled the unit with 3 pounds of Freon to get the system to cool until we could get 2-10 to confirm they would fix said name problems.
The company I hired called 2-10 to explain exactly what was going on with the unit and the service rep refused to take pictures on the unit and said that 2-10 will hire their own contractor to fix the problem regardless of what was stated in that report. Third contractor comes out and looks at the unit for 15 minutes and leaves and states dirty filter is causing the problem, the filter was weeks old at this point. Also took 5 days for this report to make it to 2-10. I have been with 2-10 for almost two years now and it's a shame they hire the cheapest possible person to conduct inspections. Buyer beware with 2-10, they will fight tooth and nail to not cover the items under contract!

I called in a repair request for our AC not working. After 24 hours and not hearing from anyone, I called 2-10 warranty and they said that they were still looking for a contractor. There must be at least a dozen within 30 miles of my home. When pushed for further clarification, the rep said that I had to give them 48-72 hours to locate a contractor. I asked if I located one would they cover the repair? They said only if the contractor was on their list. If not then I would be responsible for all costs and they would reimburse me for covered repairs at their contracted rate. So if the diagnostics, parts and labor was for example $500 and they only allowed a contractor $300, then I would be reimbursed $300. The balance was my responsibility.
On the other hand if 72 hours passed, and they could not find a contractor willing to work with the warranty company and accept their pre-negotiated fees. Then they would call me to authorize me to work with a contractor of my choice and I would be reimbursed the full amount minus the $75 service call deductible. 72 hours is a long time to wait in 90 degree heat while you wait to see if someone locates a AC/HVAC company willing to work for a warranty company. After calling several of the AC/HVAC companies in my area, I found out that not many will work for warranty companies because of their slow pay policies, slow response time and general hassles to work with them. In the meanwhile, I have to suffer in the heat and wait til the 72 hours passes so I can get authorization to contract a AC company. Now I'm wondering if the policy is worth the hassle.

This is the WORST experience with a home warranty company I’ve ever had. Do NOT Use them, there are plenty of other home warranty companies out there that value their clients. Our disaster started May 25th when we had our dishwasher repaired through 2-10. The contractor from Simple Beautiful Maintenance fixed our dishwasher, but in the process he removed the door and broke the hinges and seal. This caused the dishwasher to leak. We called 2-10 to explain the situation. They sent out the same contractor to fix the door. This contractor called us and was aggressive, condescending and unprofessional saying he never took the door off (we saw him take it off). This made us uncomfortable so we called 2-10 to send someone else.
Then they dispatched another contractor A+ Appliance who came out June 22. He told us the dishwasher was broken from improperly removing the door. He did his diagnoses and told us he had parts he needed order and that we would see him the following week. No call. No show for 2 weeks. On the 3rd week we called 2-10 and spoke with a supervisor named Jeff. Jeff was able to get in touch with the supervisor of A+ Appliance and that supervisor said he would call me in 15 minutes... we didn’t receive a call until the next day, Friday 7/6 to set up the appointment to repair the door as “the parts were in”. We had an appointment for Monday 7/9 at 3:30... guess what? No call NO show.
At this time after calling the contractor from A+ Appliance multiple times and receiving no answer and no return phone call, I called 2-10 again and spoke with Samantha and Jeff which were floor supervisors at the time. I was told that I had an option to do a buyout so that I can stop being inconvenienced and would receive funds for the parts of my dishwasher that are broken and repair it myself. I was advised by Jeff to call the buyout department, which I did on Tuesday, 7/10. I spoke with Jasmine who informed me That A+ Appliance never put a diagnosis in the computer which means a buyout is not an option for me until another company comes out to do the diagnosis?!?!
This is just ridiculous. It’s insane. How can no one be able to make this right??? No dishwasher for weeks. I’ve spent countless hours on the phone with various reps from 2-10 and to be honest the customer service is subpar. No one really knows what to say. They just keep trying to send out different contractors. This wastes my time and I’m tired of taking off work for this nonsense. This company is so unprofessional and has no regard for their clients time and efforts. Take your business elsewhere.

2-10 came with the purchase of my new house. I generally submit claims online. The website is fine but when they want serial numbers, it’s a pain. Submitting a claim is not a problem, but their response time is poor in my book. Also, when I bring up these issues they give generic, scripted answers. Still, the contractors they've sent perform as expected. However, when I told 2-10 my air conditioner was out and it took ‘em three days to get here. I live in Texas and it was 105 degrees outside. Also, I had a microwave go out and it took ‘em three weeks to come to a resolution on it. Plus, they paid for me to handle getting it replaced completely by myself.

Hi there Patrick. We are thrilled to hear that our services so far with you have been efficient and good. We appreciate your review and your continued business.

We have two rentals plus our home under 2-10 for a year. When I submitted a claim for a dishwasher problem, I called 2-10 and they told me they called the Express Service company. The company came out, got their $60, and we never heard from them. We called them and left a message but no one ever called us. They also didn’t tell us what they were gonna do. So, we called the warranty people and talked to them. Their rep said that we would get a new dishwasher but until now, we still haven't gotten one. I called Express Service several times and they told me that they are not sure if we’re gonna get a new one or not. This issue is at the rental home in Texarkana and it has been a real drag on the people who reside in the house.

Hi there Jackie. We are terribly sorry that your contractor was so a no show after the initial visit and the toll it has taken on your tenants. We are going to have our escalation team follow up with this further to see if we can help move this claim forward. Thank you for the review!

We had a leak in our kitchen which we contacted 2-10 for a plumber. We were extremely happy with the gentleman who came out to fix our problem. He was totally personable and did a fantastic job. We hope if we ever need another plumber, we get this same man. Thank you.

Greetings. We are elated to hear that you are happy with your contractor and the plumbing fix. Thank you for the review D A.

We've had 2-10 since we moved into the house in September and, at first, we had a hard time with our claims because we have to wait until they find us a person. And then, we have to wait for them to call us and sometimes they get somebody that's too far out and we have to call and say that, "They're too far out. Can we have somebody else?" We had to go through two or three people before we find somebody that's close by and that can come out and take care of us. If we can't use our own people that's what usually happens. Sometimes they let us use our own people and if they do, then it's quicker and it's easier.
Dealing with their reps has been good and the only thing I don't like is that they make people come out and do little things before getting to the big things. And I haven't liked their contractors at all. 2-10 should let the consumer use their own contractor. Also, they should have better communication with the consumer. When we had our water heater fixed, we wanted to do a buyout because we wanted an upgrade but they went ahead and didn't contact us. So, they shipped a 40 gallon to us instead of a 50 gallon which we have told them we originally wanted. And then, basically they said what we have was a 40 gallon so that's what we're gonna get.

Hi there Colleen. Thank you for the feedback! We apologize for the contractor issues you have dealt with, as well as the ordering of the wrong tank size. Your review will be sent in to see if there is anything we can do to correct some of these issues. Thank you again!

Our realtor purchased this warranty for our new home as a gift. We had furnace issues, had 5 different companies out, and in the end had to buy our own furnace as no one could give them the same diagnosis. Every time I called I was treated horribly by the customer service. This company has the rudest employees working for them and there is no customer service management team or the employees would refuse to transfer.
Purchasing this plan would be a waste of anyone's money. By the time you take off work for multiple appointments it's cheaper to pay to do it yourself or take off once for a single company. But multiple times for a full time working family is difficult but this company doesn't care. Definitely wouldn't recommend based off their customer service alone cause when you have a frustrated customer on the phone you should be sympathetic and not yell at them or belittle them but that's what these employees do and apparently it's ok.

Hi there Carrie. We are extremely disappointed to hear about your experience. We care deeply for our customers' well being and we apologize if this was not translated well. We also apologize for the continual contractor and scheduling issues you dealt with. That had to have been frustrating for you and your family. Your review will be escalated and we will reach out to you soon. Thank you for the feedback.

Home warranty was included in the purchase of our home five years ago. Every year the premium has risen by at least one hundred dollars. Have had them to our home to check air conditioning/heating unit three times in the past five years. Three years ago we had a lot of condensation on the coils. Of course the technician was told to only band aid it, the unit is 18 years old. We have been very careful with the unit and have even used a wet vacuum to “suck out” some of the accumulating condensation. Friday evening, the unit caught fire and our home probably would have caught fire had we not smelled it burning. The technician who responded stated “this unit is fried."
Fast forward to 2-10 response they are not liable to fix the air conditioner because the fire is a secondary diagnosis, that was caused by something else!!! Yes, it was caused because they did not pay to have the situation fixed three years ago. They will give us 449 dollars to replace coils that cannot be replaced without the whole unit being replaced. Very angry, dissatisfied and definitely will not renew in the spring. Will contact our Century 21 realtor and tell them not to recommend this company.

Hi there Shari. Thank you for the review. Unfortunately we cannot always cover every issue that arises in our customers' homes. We are interested in how your unit caught fire and whether or not this was actually from our previous repair. Your claim will be escalated and someone from our team will reach out to you soon.

I realize that I have to use this company, when I can actually reach them. The representatives are nice and try to help. Our A/C went out in the beginning of June. The contractor you found for us is nearly two hours away. I don’t understand this as there are plenty of local contractors. The contractor came out once and we’ve not seen them again. I live in the South and it’s 97 degrees outside, it’s 109 upstairs in my home. I believe that now, finally 2-10 is trying to help but I also believe it’s because for the last two weeks I’ve called several times a day. This is unacceptable. Four weeks without air is ludicrous. Thank you.

Hi there Mary. We can understand your frustration with us after having assigned a contractor that is so far away.

I filed a termite treatment warranty service request and when the service provider called, I was told that to cover the treatment under the warranty service, it would be more expensive than to go and just have a whole house treatment and I would get a multi year cost free warranty with that that would cover any subsequent treatments. Not sure what the point of this company is other than to scam people.

Greetings. Unfortunately your service agreement we do have some items that need reconsideration for next years contract. In any case, we do our best to tell our customers deals that would be more beneficial to them so that you end up getting more worth on your dollar. This was not in anyway done to "scam". Different service agreements and states have different coverages. We will do our best to make sure our service agreements continue to improve in the future.

I should not have to argue about whether I am covered or not. I received some spiel about my AC issue being a "pre-existing condition". This is not a brand new home. Everything is pre-existing. I absolutely will not put up with dodgy service like this. Will never recommend this company to anyone nor will I renew. I have no faith they will hold up their end when I actually have a major issue. Have brought all of this up with my realtor as well which is the one who recommended this company. From other reviews I have read it seems like if something major does happen they will simply buy out your contract for a few hundred dollars leaving you out in the wind. How is any of this even legal?

Hi there Matthew. Unfortunately in your service agreement, if your unit was not in good safe and working condition before the service agreement went into a effect, or the damages have been determined to have existed over a prolonged period before your agreement went into effect, your repairs will not be covered. If you feel you can prove with maybe an inspection report that your unit was operating efficiently before moving into your home, we can always reconsider our decision. In any case, I will escalate this on your behalf to see if there is anything we can do for you in regards to this claim. Thank you for the feedback.

We've had 2-10 for a year and two months now and they're awesome. They're also cheap at $35 a month. We were told about them by my loan officer and that they were the best. I submitted a claim over the phone right when we bought the house and the interaction with the rep was great. However, I ended up canceling it since we figured out what was wrong.

We've been using 2-10 a lot and everything worked out very well. But sometimes the service contractor that they send out is good and sometimes not. It depends on the company but the recent claim I had went well.

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was a part of our house when we first bought it. We usually call when submitting claims. We're more personable that way. Most of the claims were okay, but the last one gave us a bit of an issue. We filed a claim on a leak and they said that everything was taken care of. However, we had to go back the next week since nobody was calling us. They canceled it and we had to call and start it all over again. Then, they only did half of the claim because half of it, they said, wasn't covered. They said it was at the well. But other than that, we were all right. The reps at 2-10 did well.

Thank you for the review Ralph. Despite that recent issue with being contacted by your service provider, we are happy to hear that you have overall enjoyed our services. Thank you for being cooperative and patient with us. We appreciate your continued support.

A basic contract with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was purchased by the seller of my house. Upon turning on the A/C for the first time during this season, I discovered that it was cooling the house. I contacted 2-10 and they assigned a contractor to come to my house to diagnose the problem. The contractor came and inspected the system and advised that everything was working properly. While the contractor was at my house, the system did begin to cool the house, and I believed that the issue was resolved. After the contractor departed, the temperature in the house began to rise again indicating that the A/C system was not working properly. I contacted 2-10 again to complain and they assigned another contractor and waived the $100 fee that I would have been responsible for paying to the contractor just for coming to my house.
This contractor came to my house and without any testing of the system determined by visual inspection that took all of 5 minutes that the outdoor unit fan motor was locked up and the system was failing due to lack of maintenance. This is what he reported to 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. 2-10 made the decision that they would not cover any repairs since the contractor reported that the system was failing due to lack of maintenance by the previous owner(s). Since we could not continue with A/C in the house, I contacted another contractor (One Hour Heating and Air). They dispatched a technician to my house and he tested the system using the necessary equipment and did not make a decision based on visual inspection only. He got the system running and it appeared to be functioning properly.
Since I advised him that this occurred with a previous contractor, he decided to take the time to see if the system would fail again after running for a period of time. Within a period of 30-45 minutes the system stopped working properly. He determined that the system could be repaired with the replacement of the outdoor unit fan motor and the condenser. While this repair would get the system up and running, he could not give a time frame for how long it would continue to run based on the age of the system, and recommended that we consider replacement. The issue with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty is that they based their decision to not pay for any repairs on the visual inspection of the second contractor and his comment that the system was not properly maintained.
As a side note, the technician from One Hour Heating and A/C advised that it had nothing to do with a lack of maintenance and that the particular model of the outdoor unit had issues in the production process which contributed to the degradation of the coils and subsequently caused the problem with the fan motor. 2-10 advised me that they could not cover my system solely on the fact that the contractor advised that the system failure was the result of lack of maintenance. They looked for a loophole in the contract which said that they do not cover maintenance as the justification for not paying for any repairs. The bottom line is that a home warranty with 2-10 is a waste of money. I definitely will not extend coverage with this company once the initial year contract expires.
Updated on 07/14/2018: As a follow up to the review submitted on 4 July 2018, 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty reached out to me to follow up on my initial claim for repair of my heat pump system, after explaining the details of what occurred in association with my initial claim and the basis that they used to refuse to cover any costs, I submitted all invoices that I had including their initial contractor review, the review by the contractor who I hired to diagnose the problem, and the invoice for the cost that I incurred to replace the entire heat pump system.
The bottom line is that 2-10 decided that they could only reimburse for the cost of the outdoor unit based on the cost provided by their contractor and not based on the amount that I paid. I also submitted a letter from the contractor who installed my new heat pump to justify the need to replace the entire system vice just the outdoor unit. The letter explained that it was their professional opinion that the indoor unit also needed to be replaced due to the government mandated switch from R22 to R410A refrigerant. Their professional opinion was that "when converting to R410A refrigerant running at a higher pressure, this often causes evaporator coil failure and we do not recommend replacing just one component in a R22 system."
2-10 focused on "it is of our professional opinion" in the letter and determined that they did not have to reimburse for the indoor unit as it was not broken and that the replacement was based on their opinion. The entire system would not have been replaced if 2-10 had done their due diligence and paid for the repairs of the outdoor unit when I submitted my initial claim. I replaced the entire system because I was paying out of pocket and it was more fiscally responsible in the long run for me to pay for a new warrantied system than to pay for repairs that had no guaranteed life span. I can only wonder if 2-10 would have paid for repairs if I did as they suggest by their reimbursement and only replaced the outdoor unit and the refrigerant change cause the evaporator coil to fail on the indoor unit.

Greetings Larry. Thank you for the review. We are concerned to read that you feel our in network contractor filed a fallacious report. A denial due to lack of maintenance is a common issue many of our homeowners face. This is not us trying to find a loophole in our service agreement but rather denying based off of the report we receive and the lack of coverage for that issue. However, we are surprised to hear that our contractor only did a visual inspection to obtain this diagnosis. Also, we would like to know more about what your tech from One Hour Heating and A/C found when servicing your unit. Your claim will be escalated and someone from our team will review this shortly to see if we can overturn this denial. Thank you and if you need anything else, please reach out again.

I was in the process of searching for a home and 2-10 Home Buyers warranty was offered to me. Their coverage came with buying the house and since then they're available pretty much anytime. I submit claims over the phone and they would get someone out to my place fairly quickly. The contractors they send have been very helpful and respectful. Whenever we had an issue with our air-conditioner, they would come on the very same day we scheduled an appointment. Also, it was winter last year when we were having trouble with our heat. Their technician came out the very same day we scheduled as well. He said that he knew we had kids in the home and that he didn't want us to be without heat. He was great. So, I tell people at my job all that time that 2-10 has a great price they would save a lot of money if they went through them.

Hi Laura. Thank you for the support! We appreciate hearing that you have had helpful and respectful contractors assigned to your claim and that you enjoy our services. Thank you for the review.
