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

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

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

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

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

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

    There was a bit of a mix-up when I submitted a claim. And when I called 2-10 back to verify, they did not understand what I was saying. I originally did the claim online and the process was kind of difficult because where I thought that my problem should be listed, it was in its own separate category, which was weird to me. I was having an issue with clogged drains. And instead of being under sewer, it was under its own category called snaking. They were asking for further information but it didn’t make sense for my issue. And then, I saw snaking after a while. The problem was not resolved and I had difficulty securing follow-up appointments with the contractor. So I had to go with somebody else to fix the issue, and they were able to fix it for less. Also, it is unfortunate that bigger ticket items are not covered bu 2-10, like for the cleanout.

    When I called 2-10 to make a claim for appliances, it didn’t work to make a claim. I had to pay $100 for a technician to come and do a repair. They also told me if the appliance didn’t work next time and it is not related to that repair, I have to pay another $100. It didn’t work for me to pay $100 when I can buy then use the appliance with an almost similar price. So, even though I had the appliance problem, I didn’t use the warranty. Thankfully, I didn’t have any other things breaking.

    My recent claim experience with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was good. I did it with a person and their customer service was alright. Also, the contractor was cool, but what I needed wasn’t covered by my insurance. The claim was for a flue pipe. I had to pay for them to come out here and look at it. Then, I had to pay for what was not covered. I was a little sad, but the insurance is still good to have. 2-10 can come in handy another time.

    It’s been over 2 1/2 weeks since we’ve requested for our AC to be fixed. Contractor came out and needed to order a part. We were told 2-10 had ordered a part 2 weeks ago and no one has contacted us. We were told 5 business data for the part and it would be fixed. There’s been a lack of communication and it is getting hot outside. Having been told that it would only take a few days, now that it’s taking weeks is beyond me. I’ve informed them I need it taken care of as soon as possible, as I have a newborn just came home. There’s no reason it should be taking this long, not to mention, I have to do all the following up.

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

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

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

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

    2-10 can do better as far as explaining what things are covered and what’s not covered. We had a broken water bibb outside that was connected from my house to the outside, and 2-10 said it wasn’t covered because it was not on the foundation. But other than that, everything that we had claimed was done well. When I file a claim, 2-10 would give me the name of the company handling the claim and the callback number to follow through on the claim order. My experience has been all right. They also gave me a discount for our yearly renewal because we’ve had them since day one.

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

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

    I had a mechanic come recently to look at my hot water tank. He came with his family in a car and he left the car running. He had no tools with him. He told me there was nothing he could do for me with my water tank and that was it. He charged me $75 and did nothing for me. I've had 2-10 for 15 years and their service is definitely going down while their cost is rising exponentially.

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

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

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

    My experience with 2-10 has been terrible. When I call them I'm on hold forever. There are delays in getting back to us as well. Previously, they sent an AC guy to us to look at our AC. He didn't call for three or four days even though I called them several times. When the tech came, he said that this and that needed to be changed. He said that they will send the request to 2-10 and I should call 2-10 and they would approve it.

    So, I called 2-10 and their reps said that they haven’t received the information yet from the contractor so I should call the contractor. I did that and the contractor said that they have already sent everything and that everything is fine. I responded by telling them that they said that they told me everything was not fine and that they said that things needed to be done.

    I called 2-10 again and they said that everything was fine. In the meantime, I got another person independent of 2-10 to look at our AC because the temperatures are rising and we have 2 young kids in the house. I called 2-10 back and said that I got another person and told them what that tech was saying. I asked if they could accept that tech's recommendation and act on it. Their rep said that the tech I got would have to call them and they would have to send another person. I’ll have to pay again the service fee to that company. That's when I said that I was done with 2-10. I got an email from them yesterday that they’ll send out a service request to another company. Nobody has contacted me yet.

We told him that our machine works but then there's a loud sound emanating from it. He never told us that our claim would be denied because the machine was still working. So, we went through the process and we had a contractor come out. The contractor said that he would be back with the part within a couple of days. He said we had his word that we were gonna go get the microwave fixed.

    We paid them $100 for 8 minutes during which he didn't have the part to fix the issue only for them to call us back two days later to say that our claim was denied because the machine was working. We're trying to look into another home warranty company. We're pissed 'cause the first time something broke down in the house and we were asking 2-10, we were calling and calling but nobody was getting back to us. We had to go through three people. For the microwave, Andrea put in a claim and didn't hear from anybody. Then, I put in two claims and didn't hear from anybody. Finally, somebody responds after the fourth time.

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

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

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

    When we bought our house, it was 15 years old and the appliances were probably 15 years old too. So, we thought we ought to get the warranty. We got one from 2-10 and we have them for two years now. The service was really good. You call in about a problem, you get somebody out, and it gets fixed. There’s no hassle and the process seems to be very smooth. Everyone’s always wanting to help which is not always the case like with a health insurance company. Their first thing is always deny then you got to go fight and all that kind of stuff. So, it was a breath of fresh air to have a company that stands by what they're selling. We don’t want stuff to break, but if it does, we’d like the assurance that it’ll get fixed on a timely basis, done right, and you don’t have to go fight tooth and nail.

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

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

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

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

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

    2-10 is a professional company. They have been around for as long as I can remember as a real estate agent and I’ve been doing this for 30 years. We have several properties that we manage and some of them have 2-10 warranties. When we have a claim, we either go online or call in to submit it and the reps we talked to so far were very polite and cordial. We didn't have any difficulty dealing with them. Normally, we'd get an expectation of when the contractor’s gonna call us, which is about 24 hours, and that would be met depending on the claim. For some plumbing and AC claims, it depends on what the contractors' schedule would be and some of them have been very lax and didn’t get to us immediately. We also normally call 2-10 and complain if we don't get a good contractor.

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

    I've been using 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for fifteen and a half years, and have had a good experience. Submitting claims is fairly simple. I would usually call on the phone and the reps have been very helpful. I would tell them what has happened and they would send somebody out. Usually, they would tell me that someone is gonna call within 24 hours. The interactions with their contractor have all gone well, except for the one time we weren’t pleased with the provider they sent. The provider was horrible and when 2-10 tried to intercede, they were horrible to 2-10 on the phone as well.

    Previously, I had another company that was no good and someone told me that 2-10 is really good. I went with them and submitting claims has been pretty good so far. However, I'm wondering what's going on with my microwave above the stove. It has been two and a half weeks. The contractor came by and looked at the microwave. He saw some burnt spots and he said that I needed a new one. He recommended it for replacement to 2-10. They just have to make sure they can find a replacement.

    I have a second problem with my air conditioner and it has been two and a half weeks as well and I haven't heard much of anything. When I checked, somebody sent 2-10 the wrong number and I'm still waiting on it. Whatever is inside the air conditioning unit has been given the okay to be replaced but I haven't been given any date. I would have thought that the contractor for both the AC and the microwave would have at least called to let me know that it was gonna take another five or seven business days to locate what needed to be located and they'll be in touch by then. I can't just take off any day to be there and meet the techs.

    Another issue I had was for the washer and dryer but after bugging 2-10, I finally got them to replace that but I'm still waiting on the microwave and AC. I'm trying to get these items in the house before somebody moves in on the first week of June. I already renewed for the next year. 2-10 came through for the washer and dryer. If they can come through for the microwave and AC unit, I'd do a commercial for them. I've been telling everybody to go to 2-10.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Response from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty

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

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

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

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

    I’ve been with 2-10 for almost two years and generally, I prefer submitting claims over the phone. However, their automated system takes forever to get through. I know they’re trying to have calls shuttled to the right place but the process is tedious at times. They should give me someone to talk to. I only had one claim last year and it was fine. This year, there has been a few and there has been a lot of confusion. I talk for a living. I’m very clear about what is wrong and what needs to be done. I paid $200 for two guys to come out here and do nothing. The guy looked at it and said they couldn’t do it and walked away. I gave him a $100 check for just walking on my door. It was the same thing with the issue I had on my stove. We had a gas leak downstairs and I smelled gas coming up. I thought it was coming from my stove. The guy came out, checked it and said it was fine.

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

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

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

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

    I've been with 2-10 for seven years and every time whenever I’ve had an issue, customer service has been very courteous and helpful. They’ve always set me up with a date and time, and it’s worked out. I’ve never had any issues. Yesterday, they called because my payment was declined because I haven’t had any sufficient fund. They've been keeping me updated so it won’t affect my credit reports. I was able to pay it online. It’s a good program and I’m gonna continue to use it.

    If I have an issue, I’ll just go ahead and call the 1-800 number. At that point, I get the automated telephone service. And then after that, I speak to a representative. They tell me if I haven’t heard anything within the next 72 hours, call this person and this company. And the contractors come out here within the next 48 hours and fix it. And if they’re running late, they call me up and tell me to make sure that somebody’s home and we’re not wasting anybody’s time.

    The claims process is pretty good. I pay a copay, $75, which is okay. It’ll probably cost me way more money if I didn’t have any warranty like 2-10. And I’m sure there are other companies out there that are either cheaper or expensive. But, since we’ve been a first customer with 2-10 in the beginning process when I bought this house, it’s easy for me to go ahead and set up a claim with them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Interacting with them has been a good experience, but my experience submitting claims has been varied, mainly because of the contractors.

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

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

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

My water had stopped for two weeks. This time, I made a claim regarding my air conditioner. The issue had to do with the AC's Freon and 2-10 sent out Adanac Air Systems.

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

They found a contractor and called them, and the contractor came out. My son was at home and he said that the guy was friendly and did what he did. The air conditioner started cooling, and we were happy that it wasn’t hot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sometimes homeowners will move their fridge to the garage and then get a new fridge for their kitchen and want us to cover both but only pay monthly for us to cover the 1 unit.

    I originally made a claim with 2-10 for my furnace. At night, it got down to 60 degrees in the house. I had the furnace on but it wasn’t turning on. I called 2-10 for that. In Ohio, the temperature fluctuates. It could be 80 degrees one day and 50 the next. The next day, it was 85 degrees and the air conditioner wouldn’t work. I called 2-10 back and had them come out and look at the air conditioner. Since it was getting into summer, I would rather have the AC fixed then the furnace. I called Monday night.

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

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

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

I had a contract with Oasis and they came and my unit is fixed now. But I don’t understand 2-10 anymore. Their service is awful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I ended up calling a different contractor because they told me that 2-10 wasn’t gonna cover the root problem. When I called the other plumber, they found out it was just a clog, there were no roots out there. I called 2-10, explained everything that was going on and asked for reimbursement for the other plumber. They worked well with me and sent me a check within a week.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    It reached 80 degrees here one day and when I turned the AC on, it was jacked up. It didn't work. So I called it in and put a service request with 2-10. I told them what my problem was and they picked a contractor to come out. They got back with me and told me when the person will show up. I paid the $100 for the servicemen to show and they went ahead and did the work.

    The only thing I didn't like is that it took longer than I expected. They found out the unit had to be replaced so the contractor had to submit a piece of paper telling them how much it would cost. For some reason, the contractor sent the paper two or three times. I was responsible for a part of the process so I had to pay $18. They didn't put in the order until after I said I would pay the $18, which no one told me I had to pay. And then there was the process of getting it out. They said it would be one day but 2-10 had to order it from the manufacturer, which is out near Tennessee. Then they shipped it over here and then it was installed. It took about three weeks.

    I didn't like the timeframe but everything was done well and I haven't had a moment's trouble with the unit since they replaced it. They replaced the AC with the same type of unit that was already here at the house. My house was built in 2000 and over half the houses out here in our neighborhood still have original units so the units they replaced it with are quality ones.

    I love 2-10. They're awesome. The reviews and stuff that I looked through initially showed that 2-10 is one of the top ones, and everything has been great. I’ve used them multiple times and every time, they have come through. I really enjoy it. I bought it again this year so I plan on keeping it. I have even recommended 2-10 a couple of times already. They have great customer service and I really appreciate that. It means a lot in a company. They have been really helpful because they’ve been able to give me help and advice on what to do. I’ve had the same electrical issue before and they would tell me that since I'm calling it all at one time, it's only one deductible. That is awesome. It helps save some money. I usually call my claim in over the phone so I can give them a little bit more details of what’s going on and the process is great too. It's not hard at all. It’s just knowing exactly what it is that you are needing help with.

    I’m not so happy for our local providers though, because they do a terrible job sometimes. My electrical contractor has been terrible. I hate to really use him with that unless I have no other choice. I think they’re the only provider that 2-10 has here locally. They’ve cheated around in how they try to repair stuff and they’ve falsely claimed stuff that they didn’t do. But as far as backup from the insurance, 2-10 actually stands their word. I’ve even gotten payout a couple of times. I’ve been able to find my own provider and be happy that way. As far as the electrical contractor, I was able to provide 2-10 with pictures and proper evidence to show some stuff had not been done. 2-10 was able to reimburse me for the payout amount.

    I submit my claims over the phone and I always had a lot of different representatives with 2-10. Most of them are nice. But some of them have come across pretty rude. Right now, our air conditioning has been broken for 13 days, and it's 82 degrees downstairs. Everytime we talk to them they tell us something different. So, it's been extremely frustrating. May 12th someone came out. The contractor told 2-10 what to do to fix it, and 2-10 has taken 12 days and they still haven't ordered parts. They've told us many different things. I talked to a lady named Max, and she said she ordered the parts and that it would be seven to 14 days until they would come in because they were shipping across the country.

    We called back to check on it because our contractor called us and said the parts are in Pelham, which is 10 minutes away from us and they are trying to tell 2-10 that they're ready to fix it. But 2-10 decided to send our thing to the research department for some reason, and nobody knows why it was sent there. And then they sent me to purchasing to see if they could help me, and we've gotten the runaround.

    We live in Alabama. This weekend, we're supposed to have highest in the 90s. So, it's only gonna get hotter in our house. I have a kid at home that's been throwing up and has diarrhea. It's hot and miserable and 2-10 hasn't been helpful or seen the urgency in trying to get it solved quickly at all. We keep talking to the contractor and they said they can't do anything on their end until they get the, "Go ahead" from 2-10. And yesterday, they told us that they were waiting on a confirmation email from 2-10. They said it would be in the research department for five to 10 days for some reason. It's been horrible. I was supposed to have a big going-away party this weekend, Friday night, for one of my friends at my house. I was supposed to have a Memorial Day girl out with my family. I can't do any of that because our house is super hot. I'm getting more upset or more disappointed.

    Submitting a claim with 2-10 has been great. The reps are very adamant and prompt about the kind of problems. They follow up in less than 24 hours. In fact, they called me once again to set up an appointment. The appointment would have been set up in 24 to 48 hours. It was something that was not covered 'cause it was broken by someone else but I got it fixed already. Having the warranty is very valuable because it covers for things so I don't have to fix things around the house myself. Also, it brings down the cost of getting things fixed and all I have is the trip charge to cover and to pay for.

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

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

We noticed that there was a leak on our ceiling on the main level and the drywall. It’s coming from one of the bathrooms upstairs, so I went and checked the home warranty and gave 2-10 a call. The claims rep was friendly and she seemed to be on top of what was covered. I worked from home expecting a plumber and they never showed up. I called and found out that I could have just called someone and then filed for a reimbursement. So, that was not good.

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

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

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

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

I called on a Friday that my AC was not working and the earliest 2-10 could get somebody out was Tuesday. The gentleman came Tuesday morning and within 40 minutes, everything was back up and running. It took a while for them to schedule somebody here but considering it was the weekend, I kinda understand that. If it was a Monday, it would’ve been different. But overall, I was satisfied.

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

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

    My biggest complaint with 2-10 is that the contractors that are typically contacted don’t contact us within the amount of time that they are supposed to. So, I end up having to call back or clients have to call back and get a company to schedule with us. Also, sometimes, certain things that aren’t covered. At one point we had an issue with an air conditioner awhile back, and there was a lot of back and forth between the homeowner and the contractor, and then what 2-10 would cover and what they wouldn’t. And the homeowners eventually just said, “Forget it. This is such a headache.” They felt like they were getting put through a lot to get anything taken care of. But that was just one circumstance.

    I submit my claims over the phone and that's been fine. With your representatives, it has not been a problem as far as getting the claim set-up. Our problem starts when we have to deal with the company. We’ve actually had times where we’ve reached out to our representative for 2-10 and had to have him go through other people to help us take care our situation a couple of time.

    I am writing this review while I am in the midst of activating the home warranty purchased through a house purchase. It has been 10 days since my insured fridge failed on Friday April 26 and there still is no end in sight. 2-10 Home Warranty is the opposite of customer-focused, lacks ownership and accountability for driving customer results. It has become apparent to me that they are in business to collect money and not deliver on their service. Further, many of their customer experience practices are questionable at best, and leave customers in the dark about if and when resolution will found.

    Scheduling a contractor - the customer service agent assigned a contractor to respond within 24 hours to the service request. But the customer service agent didn’t have the wherewithal to recognize the contractor was closed on Friday and wouldn’t respond to any request until the following Monday. It took my initiative and research after the initial call with 2-10 Home Warranty that I would not receive service within the quoted 24 hour response time. Eventually, I spoke with 2-10 Home Warranty again later that day and worked with the associate to ensure that they assigned a new contractor that could actually meet their quoted 24 hour response time.

    The newly assigned contractor came out the very same day, diagnosed the problem (compressor and motherboard failure), and requested payment via Venmo. Apparently, you are required to pay the contractor directly for the service call, as opposed to pay 2-10 Home Warranty who would then reimburse the contractor. Since paying the contractor, he has gone radio silent, seldomly responds to 2-10 Home Warranty requests. There does not appear to be any repercussions for contractors who do not deliver on their expectations set forth by 2-10...I would like to see 2-10 create a rating system and a blacklist blocking some contractors from even being contacted after prior service issues.

    Dealing with customer service - I received word that the contractor shared the diagnosis on Monday, April 29, and based on conversations with 2-10, they would take 24 hours to review the diagnosis and begin finding resolution. It wasn’t until Wednesday, May 1 that I received a call from someone in 2-10 purchasing informing me that he was starting work (note, a day later than quoted). Then I called back to the customer service desk the afternoon of May 1 to clarify expectations and timelines, when I learned that it would be another 24 hours to get an answer from purchasing, who supposedly was reaching out to the contractor on May 1.

    I called at the end of the following day on May 2 to no avail and the timeline for getting an answer from purchasing was actually 48 hours not 24 hours (differing expectations being set). Then I get to the end of the day on Friday and spoke with someone that said I would get an answer directly from purchasing by end of the day mountain time on Friday...still nothing. Then I spoke with another customer service agent on Monday May 6 who said it would be another 3 to 5 business days to find an answer because they just started work on looking into the diagnosis and reached out to the contractor. I’m really confused about what actually is happening and am not getting a clear answer from anyone at 2-10 Home Warranty. Further, their customer service representatives have set false expectations that resolution would be found within 24 hours, then 48 hours, and now 3-5 business days.

    It’s apparent they don’t feel accountability for finding resolution and providing on their stated product. The back office and front office evidently don’t communicate and they don’t feel a need to work together. They aren’t concerned with improving their service of existing customers. I spoke with a manager named Monica (badge **) and provided this feedback. She cited their service agreement language “does not promise timely resolution” - I appreciate legal language but it is troubling to hear them not have any empathy for the situations their customers are in. They treat their customers as numbers and only care about collecting their premiums, without actually servicing on the warranty when people need it most. They don’t appreciate that there are actual humans trying to make ends meet, prepare food for their families, and live a quality and dependable life.

    I don’t typically write reviews of customer service organizations because I usually trust that they care about learning from their shortcomings and respond to feedback directly given. But I am at a loss with 2-10 Home Warranty as I expressed my concerns to their management team and still do not have faith in the organization to improve its customer service and overall product. I would be happy to speak with someone at 2-10 who can help find resolution and cares about their customer, should they so choose.

There was one guy who came to fix the fridge and he showed up drunk. So, we reported it and 2-10 took him off of their list.

    Filing a claim is a bit of a pain. I do it online and if I didn't even bring in a claim and I don't have any other claims out there, then it's just a matter of figuring out the way that 2-10 has us press things. First, they show me what my plan is. I know my plan so that confuses me. Then I go back out, go back in, and then go back out and I just start getting through online 36 minutes just to figure out where in the system I am to actually make the claim. If I have two claims on the same system, the site wouldn't let me do it. I ended up having to call the second contractor in because it's like there's already a claim up and it wouldn't let me open it.

    Getting in touch with a representative to figure things out was a process too, for 45 minutes on hold and waiting for someone to answer, and then everybody I talked to seemed like they don't really know exactly what's going on, which is kind of frustrating 'cause they should be the expert in how it works. But the contractors have been great. One guy told me stuff that I didn't know. Just after we bought the home, we noticed the drip and so he came and fixed it. He said that I may gonna wanna shut the water off at the shut off valve before winter sets in or the pipe would freeze which is probably what caused the leak in the first place. He was really knowledgeable.

    I've had a couple of claims and the issue is that there are not very many people that work in this area that accept the insurance. I've had to wait with water in the basement for two weeks to wait for 2-10 to figure out somebody that would come out. It's also silly that 2-10 doesn't cover roots in pipes. That's the number one reason why pipes get clogged in my area. Excluding that out makes it pointless to have it. And when I signed up, I renewed for this coming year. But when I did that, I did it with some hesitation. So I don't know if I'll do it again. It depends on how much I use the warranty this year. Something went down in my garbage disposal and it was cheaper to pay the guy just to come out rather than pay 2-10.

    I renewed online and 2-10 still sent me stuff in the mail to renew, which made me question whether or not I actually renewed. It wasn't like they were close. Maybe it was just a missed mail thing, but no. I went online and it says that it listed there so I feel confident enough. Overall, I would suggest 2-10 but then I would tell somebody to look into it.

    Since '07, we've been with 2-10. Their representatives are friendly and their claims process is fine. But 2-10 does not have any contractors generally in the area. And to find somebody who would be willing to work with 2-10 is virtually impossible. It was fine when we generally started with 2-10, but progressively, it has gotten worse over the years. I think they've established some type of negative relationships with contractors in the area.

    I'm still working on a water heater issue with them. The service order that was put in over a week ago is still pending because 2-10 wasn't able to find anybody, and neither am I, who would be willing to work with them. This is probably just gonna come out of pocket. The last claim that I had successfully go through 2-10 was a minor AC issue. I'd tell people not to use 2-10 for a warranty. If I wanted to do all the side work, I wouldn't have an insurance company at all. I would just do the leg work.

    I submit my claims over the phone and my interactions with 2-10 claims reps have been mostly good. Sometimes they could get a contractor to come out the same day or the next day. But sometimes it takes a few days, which usually happens in the summer time when everyone's air conditioners go crazy in the heat. But 2-10 has been good to us, so we continued with them. We recently had a Freon issue with my air conditioner, and the contractor was very polite and clean. He made sure he put his little booties on when he came in the house, and he went right to work and got us up and running quickly. He showed pictures and showed what was going on. The air conditioner has been working fine since.

    I'm the property manager of a house that has a warranty with 2-10. There was a Freon problem with an AC unit and 2-10 assigned a company. I stayed inside the house during the repair and the tenant could not be there. When the technician came and showed me a whole bunch of pictures of the unit outside, it looked like the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor. There was so much rust, it would be caked in rust. He said there was nothing he could do with it and that there was a water sprinkler head that was shooting into the air conditioning unit outside which was causing all the corrosion. So, I asked him what he was gonna do and he said he was gonna report it to 2-10.

    In my mind, I thought 2-10 was not gonna cover this claim. If there was a water sprinkler head shooting into the AC, then that was negligence on the part of the owner that let the character put it in there. S, when the owner called and asked me what I thought, I told him to get a second opinion. She told me it was up to me, so I said I'd send our AC guy out. He’s as honest as he can be. I went out there with him, he took the thing apart, and there wasn’t any rust in that unit. There was some rust around the exterior shell of the unit, which is not uncommon for an air conditioner in Florida with all the humidity and the water and the moisture, but the components on the inside of it were not rusted at all. So, I concluded that the first guy was a crook.

    The second guy also said that the problem was that the evaporator coils were underneath the bottom of the unit. He said that to fix those coils would cost around $1,800 and that based on the age of the unit, he wouldn’t do it. He’d just go ahead and buy a new unit. He wrote up his report but in the end, the claim was denied by 2-10. The owner went out of pocket and replaced the unit with a brand new one. The claim should not have been decline though. What’s the point of having a home warranty if they’re not gonna cover the repair when it was the coils in the outside unit that was caked and it was leaking?

    Our guy also said that he works for several of these home warranty companies and if I were with Old Republic, they would replace it in a heartbeat. But because things have to be compatible, the air handler which is inside is not defective and they’re not gonna cover that. I was gonna have to come out of pocket for the air handler upstairs, but they’d replace this outside unit. He said he's been dealing with them for years.

    I also deal with these home warranty companies every day and 2-10 has not lived up to what other companies are doing. I even asked the owner why she has 2-10 as her home warranty company. They got a crook working for them and they’re denying her claim which makes no sense. 2-10 is also the only home warranty company where when you call them, they give you a claim number but they won’t even tell you who they’re gonna have contact you. Everybody else give their clients the name and number of the company that’s been assigned to their claims.

    My 2-10 warranty was offered as part of the agreement to buy my home and it wasn't great at first, so I asked them for a refund for the last three years, and then they made it right when I asked to keep speaking with their bosses. They were able to get a contractor out to service my air conditioner in 2 weeks. However, they were supposed to order this coil and they said they had to order the manufacturer's one. They couldn't just order an aftermarket one so I had to sit without AC for another two to three weeks. And then, when they came in, I was talking to the AC guy and he said, "No, that was just the aftermarket coil that we just made work." So they kinda yanked me around a little.

    But Comfort Zone did great. They had a small incident, but they're fixing it now. One of the guys accidentally stepped through the ceiling but accidents happen. They were quick to tell me what happened and let me know that they're about to fix it. They offered me an appointment this evening to have it fixed once they got the sheet rock but I have an appointment this evening, so they're coming tomorrow. The Comfort Zone part of it was pretty great. Just the 2-10 part was kinda rough. They only have one company, so you're at the mercy of them. You have to wait for a long time to get things taken care of. Also they offered me to pay for it myself and they would reimburse me once I got done.

    We had some leaking from the hot water heater. I submitted the claim over the phone and talking to the representatives at 2-10 was difficult. When I submitted the claim, we haven’t had any hot water, and we also had the leak. And they didn’t consider that to be an emergency. While the people that were coming out identified it as an emergency, 2-10 did not. And so they wanted to just submit it as a regular claim, but the provider was stating that they would come out sooner and they just needed 2-10 to escalate the claim. When I spoke with the contractor that was coming out, they were saying that they would not be charging us additional money, but they just needed them to escalate it in their system and resend the order. 2-10 refused to do that.

    There were several representatives from 2-10 that I spoke with. The first one said that it wasn’t even possible. They didn’t know what the contractor was talking about. So, I called back again after speaking with the contractor. And then the second person said, “We can escalate it, but there may be a fee.” Then I said, “Well, let me check with them if there was a fee.” And I called to find out if there was a fee and called back, and then, every person that I spoke with after that said that it wasn’t possible for them to do that without charging more money or without me being charged more money. So, it was very hectic and very frustrating. I had a one year old who I could not bathe in cold water. And so, microwaving the water and trying to make sure it wasn’t too hot and that I didn’t burn him was a lot.

    It took several days before somebody came out. 2-10 should revisit what they consider to be an emergency. When a parent is going through something in their home that affects their child, just a little sensitivity would be great. They were very insensitive, nasty, and rude several times. It was really frustrating. Everything after the initial exchange wasn’t so horrible. Now, I am a little confused because we have a home warranty, and we did have to have it replaced, and we still ended up having to come out-of-pocket of 350. It was $100 for the deductible for them to come, and then it was $250 to have the work completed because we ended up having to have the hot water replaced.

    I've had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for almost 12 years. It was recommended and it seemed reasonable. Submitting a claim is not too bad. Sometimes, it takes a little too long to get a repair. Sometimes, somebody comes in to see what they need to repair, and then they gotta get back with the warranty company and negotiate what the repair is gonna be. And then sometimes, it takes too many days. We can’t complete one job in one day, so I gotta take two days off of work just to get something taken care of. A lot of times, the contractor either can’t make it the day they say they’re gonna make it, or something happens where they need to order a part, and it takes a second day or several days before I can finally get something repaired. The process is a little lengthy.

    My interactions with the service contractor that came to service our last claim wasn’t that bad. But two guys showed up at my door with tool bags and they didn’t have any uniforms on. I could tell they do some kinda repair, they had a water heater in the back of their truck, but they didn’t look real representatives of whatever company they were representing. They didn’t have a shirt, a nametag, or show any ID. They did their job. They acted professional. They just didn’t look professional. It was a little sketchy. But I was already talking to the guy on the phone, so I knew that he was coming and I knew that he knew what he was talking about. So, if I had not talked to him, I’ll probably have been like, “No, I’m not gonna let you in my house.”

    Other than that, the guys were nice and did a real good job. One of the guys was supposed to show up on a certain day, and he didn’t show up till the next day. But luckily, I didn’t take that day off. I was just waiting for him to call me. So, that didn’t really bother me that much. Also another thing, the deductible went up from $50 to $75 drastically. But 2-10 is not that bad. I feel like they’re great at getting me out of a bind where I don’t have to spend a lot of money on a repair. So, at the end of the day, it’s worth it.

He said at first that the problem was the motor and that it needed to be replaced. However, 2-10 refused to replace it. The tech came out and tried to put the motor in and it didn't work. He called 2-10 and since then, we’ve been getting the runaround that they’re too busy. They haven’t had time to look at it.

    I called 2-10 one day and the woman said I should get an email 'cause the response is usually three to five days from the time the contractor calls. I said that couldn't be as we had gone through a lot of stuff and we're still without a dishwasher. Last Friday, I got an email that said that 2-10 was gonna offer me this amount for a dishwasher or I could go pick the one they showed. I asked if I could change the color if I picked the one they showed. However, they said that it's gotta be the same one. I asked again if I could pay the difference from one to another. They responded again by saying that it's gotta be the same.

    Furthermore, if we take the cash out, then that part of our contract is null and void on that particular appliance. But, if we took their replacement, then we can continue our coverage. Another issue is the turnaround time. They told us it was gonna take 5 to 10 days to order the dishwasher. But then, it would take so many days before it comes in and gets installed. It would be well over a month for the dishwasher. Overall, working with 2-10 has not been a good experience at all.

The tech was acting like the repair was something he couldn't do or didn't want to do. He was asking how he was supposed to do it. To me, he was trying to shortcut.

    That time, I looked at him and said that if I'm paying him and 2-10 is paying him, that would be the way things are gonna be done. It would be outside of anything else. So, I made a call to 2-10 and they directed them to go ahead. He ended up doing the job and then when we tested it, the problem wasn't what he thought it was.

I reopened the claim, same contractor came back and said “We put a lot of Freon, there is a leak somewhere, we will submit diagnostic code to 2-10." After several calls to customer service, and two weeks later, Customer service representative says: “Based on what I am reading here, the service is not covered because the problem is lack of maintenance, dirt caused the problem. So you have to pay to the contractor for their service”.

    First of all, the contract never mentioned dirt during either of the two inspections. Secondly, we had to keep calling 2-10 (and waiting several minutes on hold each time) for answers. In one of our last conversations with 2-10 (4 days ago), we were told that contractor didn’t submit diagnostic code (> 2 business days after their second visit to my house). 2-10 just told me: “Get a second opinion at your cost, and if your contractor don’t agree with our contractor then we will send another contractor”.

    I had to call the emergency line of 2-10 late at night and a live person answered. That was a huge good thing.

    We purchased our home and the sellers had a home warranty with 2-10. Initially, when the sellers purchased it, there were certain things they didn’t put in the warranty. The wine cooler was one of them. So, when we moved into the house and realizing there was a wine cooler and those can be expensive if there's an issue, I called 2-10 and I got that added to our policy. So, we paid the $40 I was to add. We actually ended up having an issue with the wine cooler. And I called to schedule. I was told that for their process, they reach out to some local contractor, and that contractor would have 24 hours to get in touch with me to schedule. And about two days passed, I never heard anything. I called 2-10 back and told them I was just trying to follow up on the status. They tried to call the contractor. But they weren’t able to get in touch with that contractor either.

    They scheduled me then with another contractor, and he was quicker to respond. The contractor came, assessed that the damage was really beyond repair. It was leaking Freon. So, they submitted their report to 2-10. A couple of days went by, I didn’t hear anything. I called back, and I was told that they were still looking into it. They finally called me back and told me that, apparently, the wine cooler that we had is not the wine cooler that they cover. Ours was like a 35-bottle, and they will only cover 25 or 30.

    My question to them was why it wasn’t shared with me at all when I first signed up for the policy. They asked me for the model number. The technician took the model number. 2-10 could have taken the model number initially, figured out if that is something that they cover than have me pay to have that added and have me pay $100 for a technician to come to my house. I had some tensed conversations with them. I had to be a little bit aggressive to try to get some of our money refunded because otherwise, it was fraudulent. So, had we not had an issue, we paid for that, and they would have not covered it. They would have held on for $40 for an appliance that they don’t cover because they never bothered in the beginning to assess what appliance it is.

    We've had a lot of issue with 2-10. We had issues with the pool. Again, the contractors never called. So, we had to finally say we were gonna do it ourselves. From my experience, they're just short of professional. And I've read some of the reviews in the Better Business Bureau, and I know that I'm not the only one that had that experience unfortunately.

    Also, supposedly, I can submit claims online. For some reason, I'm not able to do that. In the portal, I don’t see that option. But their automated message says, “Do you know you can submit claims online?” So, when we submit a claim, I have to call their number and submit it over the phone. Some of their representatives are okay. The individual that called back to let me know that the wine cooler was not covered was definitely not pleasant to engage with and not respectful, but there are other ones that have been fairly okay and just what you would expect.

    We've only had one contractor that we actually had attempted to engage with, but I don’t think that 2-10 ushered contractors very well or hold them accountable. We had two instances when the contractors never called back or got in touched with us. The individual that did come to our house seemed okay. He didn’t present any credentials but he was timely and did what needed to be done from their end.

    My husband and I are shopping around to switch because I genuinely have concern about what else that’s in our policy should we need service, will they, at that point, tell us that part is not covered either? So, I would caution people around having policies with them and making sure that they really understand what is in there. I don’t have trust that they acted in kind of a professional manner.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty is very responsive. When something goes wrong, they get it fixed. I had one incident which didn't make sense but it was resolved. One year, I had made a service call and apparently, that service call cost some money. The next year, one of the accountants told me, "So you are costing me more than your premium." I told him it was insurance. He was equating what I paid versus what I gained the previous year and he wanted to change the premium. But I told him no and eventually, he said, "Okay."

    2-10 did not raise the premium that year but the next year, they raised it without any reason. They also didn't tell me and I didn't like that. I want somebody to be upfront with me and I will be okay with that. I'll see if there is some competitive price and if not, then I'll stay. Still, their technicians do their job well and the service is good. But being upfront would be good for me so that I can schedule my payments. Other than that, I'm okay with them and that's why I'm staying with the service.

    We've been with 2-10 for three weeks and have had two claims already. I called the number that we needed to call to get somebody out here and I told them what the problems were. Then we had a tech come out to diagnose and repair the problems. I had one issue with one of the technicians from one of the companies though. He wasn’t professional at all. My husband wasn’t home at the time and the technician started asking oddball questions about to us. And when I tried to got through him to show him different things, he didn’t wanna move out the way. He was also making too much eye contact and made me and my friend feel very uncomfortable in the house. I had to file a report against him. That got handled and a new technician was sent out.

    My claim with 2-10 for my air conditioning unit was done over the phone. Everything went fine. A contractor came out within a couple of days and the quality of his work was great. He also kept me in tuned the whole way. My air conditioner has been working since the repair.

    Submitting a claim with 2-10 is kind of a pain in the butt. The warranty was recommended by my realtor because the house that I bought is an older home with older appliances. About a week or two after I have officially moved in, I noticed that there was a problem with the heat pump and it was still kinda cold. So, I had a tech come out and had it diagnosed. The technician said that he needed to replace it with a part and I thought I could use my home warranty since I thought it was covered. But when I tried to use the home warranty, they told the service tech that it was not covered because it was pre-existing. When I started reading a lot of fine prints on things, different people that had made complaints against the company, and people having different horrible experiences, a lot of them said that 2-10 would not pay out and say that the issue was pre-existing so they don't have to pay anything.

    Recently, I had electrical surge in my house and my refrigerator stopped working due to a wiring outside. It was a telephone pole and it was a pretty unfortunate incident. I called 2-10 for help but when I was trying to get my refrigerator looked at, the service rep of this contractor that they assigned to my case had set up time to come look at it but he had to reschedule four times. When he said he couldn't come out as scheduled because he was coming from out of town, I told him that we had to get work off to be there when he comes out, that I’m in the military, and my wife’s working a full-time job. So, we scheduled a time-off to be at home for the appointment. But he said he couldn't make it out here and it was gonna be the next day. And I had to call him every time. He never called me once just to say he couldn't make it.

    Finally on Friday, he said he could only make it to our house at a particular time when he originally told us a different time. But my wife already made plans. So, he said he couldn't make it until the next week. That was the last straw and I told him that I couldn't use him anymore. I got frustrated. In fact, last night I was thinking that I need a new service rep because I’m out of a refrigerator for almost eight days now and the food’s gone. Luckily, I have a smaller fridge downstairs that didn’t get messed up, so I’ve been putting stuff in that small fridge. We also put things in ice chests and dumping ice into it. But it’s been hell. A new contractor was assigned to us and he’s supposed to come tomorrow, so we’ll see. 2-10 just seems very shady and I’m frustrated with it.

    Our heat stopped working completely. Contractor dispatched quickly and diagnosed that the unit needed replaced. Took over a week for 2-10 to contact us with information that the unit would be replaced but there were a lot of details not covered by the warranty that we needed to authorize payment for. Once authorized, they then ordered the new unit. Then an additional 2 weeks passed until our contractor received unit and could come back to install it. Along the way, every time I spoke with someone at 2-10 I said, "This is an emergency, we have no heat, why is it taking so long?" No one ever seemed concerned, would just say, "Sorry. This is the process."

    If it had been below freezing and my pipes burst due to no heat, would 2-10 have covered that? If it had been too cold to live in my house due to no heat and I had to go to a hotel, would 2-10 have covered those expenses? At what point is not having heat considered an emergency and 2-10 would get a new unit installed within a few days? Prior to this the few times we used 2-10 we always had good service. Even this time, our contractor was great. However the customer service, the amount of non-covered charges that are not clearly spelled out in the warranty contract, and the processing time by 2-10 to get our heat fixed was unacceptable.

    I made a claim online and the 2-10 website was not very user-friendly with putting in a request, but I figured it out. It would improve if there was a button that you could click on that had request service. Also, the initial service fee is hefty because some things can be fixed under $100. Nonetheless, the contractor that they sent out was from here, and he was great.

    On a Sunday afternoon, all of a sudden, the toilets wouldn't flush and there was water backing up in both of our tubs. And then, the water went down but the toilets still wouldn't flush. So I called 2-10 and they were very friendly and called somebody. And I waited an hour, but they never called me back. I called somebody again who then said they would call another company that was supposed to respond right away and I didn't hear anything. I called back, and 2-10 said I should go ahead and book service on my own since they weren't able to find somebody who could come out. And none of the toilets were working. It was not an option not to do anything or to wait until Monday. It was my first experience with 2-10 and it was bad. And I told them that and they said, "We're very sorry." And then, I called Roto-Rooter and they came out within an hour. They snaked the drain and the toilets started working again. It was fairly easy.

    What added insult to injury with 2-10 is that I had to pay a $100 deductible. Then, they have some clause in their warranty situation where if it's because there were roots in the line, they won't pay anything. So, to live in the south, to say there are tree roots in the line is like to say you have a mailbox in front of your house. That's a very common issue. So, I was further annoyed with the fact that they present the warranty as though it's gonna cover you for these issues, and then when you read the fine print, they don't cover you for it.

    I called them and told them how it was frustrating to me because I called them on a Sunday and they couldn't help me. And I wasted several hours following their process. And then, because the Roto-Rooter people snaked the drain and said they pulled the tree roots and showed them to me, and then they put on the invoice roots in the drain, 2-10 said they won't pay for it if there are roots in there. How would I have known that? How could I control that? And so, then they wouldn't pay for it.

    They were nice and they tried to help me, but they were clear that they couldn't. Even now, I need to have someone come out and take a camera and put it down the drain and just look and see if there's anything else that needs to be addressed. And I'm not sure if they're gonna help with that or not. But it's not been a pleasant experience. They advertise that if you get this warranty, it'll cover your house and you won't have these catastrophic expenses because you're covered under this warranty. And so far, that has not been the case.

    They didn't have a process for getting a service on Sunday and it took a lot to get through the prompt to get somebody in the phone. And then, once their guys come out, if any charge is above $250, you have to call and get a pre-approval. But the pre-approval people close at 3:00. And it was 4:30 already. It didn't make sense. There was no way I was gonna be able to get somebody on the phone who could do the pre-approval process because when I called then, it was already after the approval company had closed for the Sunday.

    When I called in, I spoke to Tanisha, the customer service agent, and I did feel that she was really trying to help me. She was very kind and she was like, "This is what we're gonna do." And when I called back, I was surprised that I was actually routed back to her randomly and she was very helpful. So they were pleasant and friendly, but it was clear that she was limited. And when I called back a third time, she was like, "Listen, we're not gonna be able to help you. And I don't want you to just be sitting there without service, so go ahead and hire somebody yourself, and we'll try to see what we can do on Monday when everything opens back up." And I appreciated that as opposed to sitting around and continuing to wait for them when she realized they weren't gonna be able to help me. So I did appreciate the woman that I spoke to.
