    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty has covered us for at least six years since we moved into the house, and we had it at our previous house as well. We have not had any issues with the service so we keep renewing. The online claim is easy to put in and it is an easy access. But sometimes the issue is getting a call back from the service provider. Sometimes the service providers come quicker than the other times.

    We have put in a claim for one of our air conditioning units on the weekend and it is Thursday already and I still have not gotten a call from the contractor. It is really hot in Tucson right now at 115, and I am sure they are busy but calling to let me know when they are possibly going to come would have been nice. And also just a year ago, on a different air conditioning unit we have, they did not do a suitable repair so we just had someone come privately to do the repair properly. But the majority of the contractors we had have been good. So it has not been a perfect experience but it has been good.

    2-10 is a little bit overpriced but I've been talking to other people and they’re telling me that that’s not the case, but I don’t know that for sure. On the other hand, the interactions with the claims reps were fine. I've called them about our garage door opener and that was repaired. We also had problems with an oven. They’ve been out here a couple of times repairing that but it was fine. It took a little bit longer than I anticipated but they got it done.

    This problem I’ve got for our oven is not their fault, it's just a part that keeps going bad. We’ve contacted the manufacturer and they don’t seem to give a damn. Unfortunately, it costs me $60 every time they come out to replace the darn thing but the part needed is a lot more money than that. Nevertheless, the contractors have been honest. They’ve been on time and that’s important to me. Their work has been fine too.

    This is our second year with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty and we haven't been really satisfied with them. Recently, I called in to submit claims for the stovetop, the washing machine and the ice maker. The problem with the washing machine was not authorized so they couldn't fix that. For the ice maker, it took them a month to fix that and the technician kept saying he was going to come over but never showed up.

    But for the stovetop, it took about four days before the technician came out. It had a crack that runs across it and it needs to be replaced. However, I've now been waiting two months for them to do something about it. It's getting worse too. Now, the one burner that I can use is overheating and that’s really a safety hazard. I called them and they said they needed a model number. The technician never sent it out, so I gave it to them but that has been over a month ago. Then they needed a picture of it and I sent that to them too. The contractor should be the one to try to get the job done and send all the information in. In comparison, we once had a plumbing problem and they fixed that right away. We were really pleased with that. It seems to be the appliance repair department that's lacking. I don't think it's all 2-10 though. It's partly the provider in this area also. 2-10 needs a better selection of providers in this area. So I'm not a happy camper right now.

    I've tried to call them last week but I was on hold for so long that I had to hang up because I had to go and pick a child up from daycare. I'm really frustrated over this. If they're not gonna do it, they just need to say that. I'm just about ready to cancel them. In fact, I'm gonna call them today and if they’re not gonna fix it, I’ll just have to terminate them and get somebody else.

    A year’s contract with 2-10 came with the sale of the house. When we have claims, we call them up on the phone, tell them what’s going on, and they will have a contractor contact us. The contractor calls us first to tell us when they’re gonna come out and we meet them at our house at that time. And they can usually fix the problem fairly quickly. They do a pretty good job. We just renewed with 2-10 yesterday so at the end of this month, we’re good for another year.

    This is the worst company I've ever worked with. We filed a claim for our refrigerator after it stopped cooling. Two weeks later, we were told they couldn't find one of the parts (this was on a Monday) and that by Wednesday, they would close the claim and issue us money for a replacement. On Wednesday I called and they had magically found the parts we needed (there were 4) and they were to be delivered to the contractor that day.

    On Friday, I called again because the parts still hadn't been received. After sitting on hold and being passed around for an hour and 45 minutes, I was told that one of the parts is no longer manufactured, and they've put us on back order so that once they receive enough interest in the part (it's a control panel, so not just a minor part needed) they would start manufacturing it again. Who knows when this will happen!?

    Then I was told that they usually get authorization from the homeowner before they do this... and we NEVER gave authorization. My husband called back, and now they're trying to tell him we DID give authorization to have the part placed on back order (FALSE STATEMENT) and they would either issue us a check for the parts (which we never authorized ordering and they equal approximately $300...not enough to replace our fridge) or we can wait until the part is manufactured again. So no resolution and now we're out a fridge... when we pay HUNDREDS of dollars for this warranty and the issue hasn't been taken care of. We're currently seeking legal counsel for this.

    When we bought the house a year ago, we asked for the sellers to provide a home warranty for us and they, along with the realtor, chose 2-10 Home Buyers. We filed 2 claims, where one was for the heater and we were pleased with it. I had very good interactions with the representatives. It's been a good experience. 2-10 was there when we needed it and it worked the way it was supposed to work.

    In the early/mid spring - I had my annual A/C unit tune-up. The tech from the company that services my A/C told me that there was no coolant, that it would take 10 lbs of coolant at $77/ib. So, I decided to go to make a claim with my home warranty, knowing service fees are only $100. It was easy enough to schedule a service call. The guy comes out from Total Air Care. Confirms that what my standard company told me, but he only had like a pound or two of coolant. However, he would be back by 5 that day.

    5, 5:30, 6, 6:30, 7, 7:30 - no call, no show. So I call him on Monday. He comes at me with the sad sob excuse that it started raining on him on Friday. As I recall, phones still work in the rain. He asks if I am available that day - I tell him that I am working. I instead offer up another day when I am working from home and he confirms that he will be there. That day comes and goes, no call, no show. I reach out to Total Air Care - they get frosty with me saying that I'd signed the paperwork and that I agreed the work was finished. I shot back, I signed the paperwork to say the tech had been out there and that I agreed to pay the $100 service charge. It said nothing about problem resolution. What a SCAM! They finally call back and schedule a new tech who comes out and finds a broken pipe, and fixes it. That was about 3 weeks ago. Now my A/C is not blowing cold air. My suspicion is that he did not put enough coolant in the machine.

    As someone else said - I believe that 2-10 gets the absolute worse of the bottom feeders and keep going until they wear you out. Do your homework. I am considering a warranty that will let you chose your own tech. I would rather that, having the warranty pay a nice portion of the services, if not all, with some coming out of my own pocket towards the repair, knowing the work will get done correctly, rather than having to keep making service calls.

    After posting a review the issues was promptly addressed and fixed. Everyone was polite, and knowledgeable. Even though I may not have agreed with their decisions along the way, everyone was very professional. The issues was ultimately resolved to my satisfaction. Just wish I didn't have to go through all of those channels. No a/cin the summer with small kids should be treated as an emergency and not have to wait on 1000 different decisions.

    Original Review: June 22, 2017

    Will definitely NOT be renewing my service with you guys after today. I've been 3 days with NO AC. HVAC contractor said I needed electrical work. 2-10 sent me to 3 companies who didn't have any availability for weeks!!! They claimed they did not have any more contractors in the area but I could call my own! I finally found my own electrician to diagnose the problem and could do the work tomorrow JUST FOR 2-10 TO TELL ME 800$ was TOO MUCH for a panel upgrade (which was necessary to fix ONE of the issues with the A/C). They suddenly found another contractors that they need to get a 2nd opinion from! Considering the fact that I had been quoted 1000+ in the past for an upgrade I didn't think 800 was too much. SMH now me and my 3 young kids with asthma have to spend yet another day with NO A/C! AND wait for another electrician to come out. So glad my contract is about to EXPIRE!

    I’ve had 2-10 since 2003 when I first had the house built. I sometimes call them and I also go online to put a request then they call right back. I liked that online thing but both ways are good. A couple of times before I got a little upset because it took so long for them to find an electrician. The rep told me that there was no electrician to service my area and I found that hard to believe because I had an electrician to come out in 2010. I explained to her that I was terrified of walking through the house turning the switch on because I was scared. And she apologized and said that they would try to find somebody. But right now, they couldn't find anybody to come and service my house. And I told her I barely use 2-10 and that I was gonna hang up the phone because I was getting upset and I don't want to take it out on her.

    So, another lady called. And I told her to apologize to the lady that I went off on. Then they got somebody out right quick and the guy was professional. He was real nice. Then there’s also a time that I wasn't comfortable with a plumber that Quality sent out. And I told the rep that the guy just looked like he was on drugs. He was more persuaded on trying to fix my toilet and he wanted to do stuff on the side like, "I got this toilet. I can put it in for you." And I was like, "No, that's okay." But overall, 2-10 is good and I like them. Out of 15 years and one incident overall. Everyone makes mistakes somewhere down the line.

    I am currently having an issue with receiving coverage per the 2-10 original agreement. My HVAC unit stopped working last Friday. A technician was dispatched and determined the condenser coil was rusted through. A further determination was made that the entire unit would need to be replaced and upgraded to the 14 SEER regulation. My original contract was written before the 14 seer requirement and states upgrades are authorized up to 13 seer, which is not available anymore.

    I was contacted by 2-10 yesterday and informed that I would have to pay $1700 out of pocket since the contract only authorizes up to a 13 seer upgrade, which again, is not available anymore. I called and talked to a representative who kept saying there was nothing they could do. Meanwhile, it is June in Arkansas, I'm getting no assistance and feel as though I'm being robbed out of $1700 and have 2 small children at home. If I could get some sort of assistance, that would be great.

    UPDATED ON 08/12/2017: Recently I had issues getting 2-10 to honor their obligations under the HVAC warranty. I had a 20+ year old HVAC system in which the A/C coil had disintegrated. They eventually did agree to fix the entire issue, but it resulted in my family being without downstairs A/C for the month of July in Arkansas. The whole issue stemmed from incorrect wording in their HVAC contract, which authorizes upgrades to 13 SEER regulations. 14 SEER has been the Federal Regulation for quite sometime now, yet their contract still states 13 SEER. This is possibly used to tell the customer that a compressor upgrade is not authorized and try to beat them out of $1,700, like they tried to do with me.

    I also found out from my HVAC installer that 2-10 was trying to get him to temporarily fix my 20+ year old unit instead of doing the right thing and replace it. When he refused to do this, they threatened to stop using him, to which he told them good luck finding another contractor to work for them in this area, since he was the only one left that would.

    We've had 2-10 since we moved in in 2014 and submitting claims has been pretty simple. We sometimes call or go online. If we get ahold of a human being, it’s nice talking to somebody. But a lot of times, it’s going to be automated anyway, so we just do it online and state our issue. Then, they’ll delegate it out to somebody who’s contracted with them. There have been one or two occasions where it took a little bit longer than desired but for the most part, they get it done. As far as having a contractor come out, we pay our deductible and they take care of fixing it.

    If something reoccurs, we wonder if we try to follow up on it or if it is too late by the time we realize something is reoccurring. There was something about a squeaky furnace at one time and 2-10 said if I'm going to address that, the other claim already expired so I’d have to redo it from scratch, which I didn’t bother with because I didn’t want to pay the deductible a second time.

    But most of the contractors are pretty good. The guy we had to call out for the water heater was fantastic. He looked at it, told us where’s the issue and that he'll call 2-10, find out what’s covered, what’s not covered, and give me an estimate based off of all that for the replacement. Then he came back and showed me the options and what they’ll cover. So he was very efficient. But the guy that came out for the toilet one time was a little questionable but he’s not one of their main plumbers at that particular contractor. Overall, it’s been a good business decision to have the insurance.

    We have had this policy for a little over a year and have had nothing but terrible experiences. The AC went out late in the fall and we tried with multiple calls. The warranty company sent multiple contractors over a month-long period that NEVER fixed our AC unit. They simply kept filling our unit with coolant multiple times. We gave up after it wasn't fixed. Fast forward to this spring when the same unit wasn't working again. Four or five contractors later they FINALLY admitted there was a coil that had to be replaced. They replaced the coil and it worked.

    Our thermostat stopped working a full week ago on the same unit. Multiple contractors were scheduled. The one who showed up quickly diagnosed that a new thermostat was needed Saturday. Now on Monday my husband called to follow up and the warranty company is sending ANOTHER contractor come out for an unnamed reason. On top of all this they have to order the specific part and we will still be without air conditioning in Georgia in June!!! They are TERRIBLE! Customer service has been no help. They always assign terrible companies to do the work that we can't even find online. Choose a different company!

    My heat pump failed leaving us with no A/C. I called 2-10 for service. The next day I received an email listing the contractor, who's located about an hour away. I tried contacting the contractor to find out when he'd be here but never received a callback. After waiting 3 days I looked the contractor up online and found nothing but very poor reviews. I called 2-10 for another contractor and was told there weren't any others "in my area" and that I'd have to find one on my own but, I'd now be "out of network". OK so far.

    I brought in the outside contractor to "diagnose" the problem and provide an estimate. He told me the A/C unit was 12 years old and needed to be replaced. A repair, which he quoted for $3700 would be throwing money away. He strongly recommended replacing the unit. After understanding what was wrong with the unit I'd be surprised if any reputable HVAC contractor would even attempt to repair it and stand behind it. We called 2-10 for authorization to proceed with something. Our contractor explained that the units had several leaks in it and that's why it was failing. Fixing the leaks would only be a temporary solution. The claims adjuster asked why all the leaks. The contractor who has almost 20 years experience with these systems replied that probably normal wear and tear caused the failures.

    We have the HVAC "Plus" option on our 2-10 policy (An extra $99 per year). Unfortunately for us the claims adjuster found every reason in the book to only authorize a $303. Most of what was required to repair the unit wasn't covered. And so much for them "replacing" the system. It won't happen. As so many others have reported on this website this company is not customer-oriented. I have totally wasted $548 on a so-called warranty that is absolutely worthless in my opinion. I would strongly recommend to anybody that thinks about buying one of these policies that 2-10 maintains sole discretion to repair or replace even if the entire system is shot. My contractor and I also spent a considerable amount of time on hold, on the phone. They were probably fielding too many complaints like mine. I would not recommend 2-10 Home Warranty to anybody.

    Our garage door system broke. This is the second time. The first time 2-10 replaced our garage door system with a system comparable to what we had. This included two remotes for our 2 vehicles and an outside keypad. This time 2-10 sent a fly by night company from Florida and they brought out a lesser garage door system than what we had. It only had 1 remote and no outside keypad. We were not wanting something more than what we had but we wanted something comparable to what we had. We have had 2-10 for 12 years and paid nearly $9,000 to 2-10 with very few claims. This is not right and I'm going to the BBB and report 2-10. It's a shame that you treat good customers this way.

    As the homeowner, I do my best to keep detailed records of the work done to our home, as well as the cost. Because the contractors did not provide invoices at time of service, I requested a copy of all the Service Requests submitted for 2016 - specifically, who did the work, what was done, what parts were replaced, cost of the parts, and cost of labor.

    2-10 Home Warranty explained to me that they do not keep records that old - it has only been 18 months! This seems quite suspicious as one would think that 2-10 Home Warranty would like to avoid paying for a repair more than once. If they do not have records of what was done to my home, how do they prove they already paid for the work the first time? This is incredibly poor business practice and I am completely dissatisfied. Luckily, I have the contact information of the contractors and have been attempting to contact them directly. Shame on you, 2-10!!!

    I called in a ticket on 3-15-17 on two appliances, washer and fridge. It took two weeks after that to get someone out. The repair person arrived and was in the house for 0-5 minutes. Said he knew the problem with barely looking at any of the appliances. Took 3 weeks for 2-10 warranty to send the parts and then another week to connect with the repair company on a date. Same person arrived again and did all of the repairs within 20 minutes but never tested or checked out the repair to see if it works. As he hurried out the door, since the problem with the fridge was the ice maker stopped working, I inquired as to when to expect the ice to start. He said wait two hours and left quickly.

    A day later still no ice. He returned the next day and said, "I do not know. Nothing more I can do." I contact 2-10 again and they send out another repair person for diagnostic work. He worked on diagnosing and said that the board that was replaced in less than 2 minutes by the prior person is not working. He then proceeded to request a new board to be ordered. That is when 2-10 has the poorest process to continue. We are not in the second month of the ice maker not working. 2-10 contacts at their number are no help and put you on hold for hours not able to find out what is going on. The repair person is having the same problem getting assistance and service from the same contacts. There is not any # or information to contact a home office to resolve these problems at a higher level. Just the contacts and the supervisor that is never available.

    I am now at June 18, 2017 and I am holding for hours on hold with 2-10 and they do not have any idea where the parts are and why they are not being ordered. Myself and the repair person are getting nowhere and not able to get my fridge repaired. This is the worst home warranty to ever have. Please help. We need ice. It is summer time.

    We have been covered by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for about 13 years and whenever I file a claim they are prompt in taking care of it. Submitting a claim is very easy to do. I usually call in to speak to a service advisor. They’re aware of what’s going on and they have quite a few whom they represent in our area where I can get the right person to come out and look at my problems. The service contractors are very aware of what they’re doing. They clean up after themselves. Everyone I've ever had so far, no matter what they do, I’d say ”Oh, I’ll get that.” But, they’ll say, “No, we got it.” Also, they call at least five to 10 minutes before they arrive and tell me that they’re on their way and how long it takes.

    So far it has been great except for when my renewal time comes up, they raise my fee every year even though I have only used the warranty for about four times. They give me an explanation as to why but as consumers, we want to know why and how. However, it’s great to have. They’re all professional and anyone looking for a home warranty should give them a call.

    2-10 is good but we have a couple of complaints. Last time our AC broke down and it took a week for them to come to my house to fix it, which was really hard. As a customer, we are always worried. They're not doing work in a smart way because our AC is breaking down every year. Even the worker who came to check it out was saying it needed to change. A compressor itself is expensive and the same thing keeps happening. 2-10 changes the part and keeps changing it.

    Last year, 2-10 spent $2,500 and this year, they have to spend $2,000. When we have a problem, my husband talks to the manager and he asks him if they can please change the unit but they're not doing it. They're trying to save some money for a while on-the-spot but in the long run, they are spending a lot of money. Our AC can break down anytime, they still have to spend money in the future and they've been doing it for years. If they have to fix it, it takes a week. But it's not that hard to submit a claim, a report or to talk to anybody and the actual contractors are good. We can talk to 2-10 easily and they are reachable. If it's for a dishwasher, it's not a problem but if it's the refrigerator or the AC in Orlando, it's hard.

    I am giving them two stars only because the two other issues they have repaired have gone smoothly and everyone I have talked to there has displayed a commitment to good customer service and I am extremely grateful for that. My issues are with their decision making and communication. My A/C went out last summer. It was diagnosed with a leak of unknown origin. They decided to do a "leak-seal" which after researching I asked them not to do. It was obvious the system needed replacing and I offered to help with more than my share of the cost. I knew it was an old system and that leak seal was known to damage compressors.

    SO what happened this spring? Compressor failed. Again, I begged them to just do the right thing and replace the system. I even offered to pay 2k out of my own pocket so that my family wouldn't have to live in the heat any longer. But no, they acted like I was crazy for suggesting such a thing. They were only concerned with the CURRENT diagnosis, not taking into account earlier issues which is absurd.

    It took them almost SIX WEEKS to do the repair. (which was to just replace the compressor not the coils where the leak most likely is). During this 6 weeks both my 3 year old and my 6 year old were sick with 104 degree fevers and having to sleep in 80 degree rooms so I went and spent 400 of my own money for a portable A/C unit. They repaired the compressor last week and now the whole system has just gone down AGAIN! Probably from the new compressor blowing out the leak seal which is exactly what I told them was going to happen. Again, the demeanor of their associates is always pleasant, even when I am not. I have been very impressed with them but their decision making is awful. They can redeem themselves by finally doing the right thing this time but if it takes ANOTHER 6 weeks I am going to EXPLODE!

    I have submitted a claim to have my A/C repaired on 5/1/2017. As of today, it still has not been repaired. The contractor that came out said that the coil was bad, we waited for 2 weeks or more for that to be ordered and when he came back out to install it it was damaged. As to my knowledge I am still waiting on the contractor to get another one through your purchasing department and as of last week when I called, there was no tracking available so that means the new coil has not been shipped.

    My husband is an invalid and has various other medical conditions and is currently sleeping on the couch downstairs because it is dangerously hot for him to sleep upstairs when the outside temp alone is 90 degrees. I also am a senior citizen with a few health issues and the extreme heat in our home is not healthy for either of us. I NEED MY A/C FIXED ASAP!!!

    I'm sure if I was with another home warranty company it would not have taken this long. I have made the copay and expect work to be done in a timely manner. The service that I am getting from your company is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Even after the contractor gets the part needed there will still be a delay depending on when they will have a opening to come out and complete the job. This is not the first time I have had to wait more than a month for a claim to be settled with your company. The last one was December 2016 and I waited over a month and a half to have my washing machine claim settled.

    I've been with 2-10 for four years. I chose to get coverage with them since I didn't like the other warranty companies. Some of my experiences with claims have been good. The one that was really bad was for an air conditioner that was out in the summer. I made the claim over the phone and they gave me a list of people, all of whom were busy. At that point, everybody's air conditioner was out and the technicians were doing what they could, but none of them could come until the week after. So, I didn't use any of the contractors that 2-10 suggested.

    The tech that wasn't busy and would come at night, 2-10 wouldn't pay for and I finally wound up paying for it. 2-10 left me a long message on the phone about who I could call to get a refund but I didn't like that at all. But anything that's not urgent, 2-10 seems to do well enough. There has been no problem with the dishwasher. I had also tried roofing, but they didn't have any contractors that did metal roofs, but it wasn't as horrendous as the air condition experience.

Finally called them back. They assigned another contractor. Made an appointment. Canceled work and sat at home. He didn't show up. They called him. He said I didn't have an appointment despite me talking to him three times on the phone and confirming on the morning of my appointment! Still fridge doesn't work. Horrible service. Their contractors are the worst. No wonder they can't find local contractors to work with them and they have to get someone from 3 hours away to fix my fridge!

    2 different times and still the fridge doesn't work! It's been 2 weeks. And there's absolutely no follow through. You call to talk to a supervisor, they make sure you are on the phone for at least an hour until you decide it is not worth your time and decide to give up. AC broke. Third time. Every time they send the same contractor and comes in with a list of repairs. Still broken and now a bunch of out of pocket "uncovered" items. Save your money. Go with another company.

    Owned one 2-10 warranty for 11 years (renewed in June 2017 for 11th year), another (2012-2022) for 5 years on new construction. Since everything was new, never used the warranty until last month. WH started leaking, scheduled installation of an equivalent replacement in mid-may. Replacement was installed 8 days after calling it in which was not great but tolerable since it was leaking but functional.

    June 4th WH stopped, and couldn't get it lit again. Called, arranged for original plumber to recall. After waiting 4 days for appointment, plumber couldn't explain why WH went out, after a while got it running again. It stayed lit for less than a day, and will not re-light. Original plumber couldn't service for 4 days. Called 2-10 to transfer to another plumber, but they don't have one in the Olympia WA area. They promised that dispatch would get a hold of us within 3 working days, (6 days). They do not consider installing WH known for having a failing switch a problem. They are not willing to pay for original plumber over-time to fix the issue, or insist original plumber fix it on own dime quickly.

    They insist we have an option to go out of network, but they will not promise to pay anything. There are multiple plumbers that do 24/7 service in the area, but they would not call to arrange a contract. Escalated to 2-10 corporate, but do not expect to hear back from them. Called original plumber and they said the warranty service does not cover after hours or weekend service time. We can pay for emergency service to fix a faulty switch installed by 2-10 HW contracted plumber. Had considered adding another warranty to recent home purchase. However with lack of customer support and unwillingness to stand behind contracted work, or even negotiate a win-win solution, I am not considering it extending their service at this time. Will add pictures next time I make the 6hr round trip to the house.

    We had 2-10 but they wouldn't cover my faucet so we went with another company. My daughter didn't like it so we had it for a short time and then we went back to 2-10. She was more satisfied with the people there. She submits claims by phone and then a person phones us and tells us they're coming out at a certain time. Overall, I enjoy the guys that came out because they've been nice to me and I have no qualms about them. The most recent one we had fixed was the refrigerator ice maker and the service person was out here in a zap. Also, I was here by myself when the guy that fixed our washer came. And he was absolutely great and he treated me like a human being.

    We submitted a claim for the air conditioner and we had a terrible time with it because the guy that came out promised to come back the next day and he got work done on something, and he took off somewhere else. So, we had to wait for three days and I thought I was gonna die since that was in July and it was 110 degrees. But I don’t blame him for not coming back because it was a time when 3,000 people had their air conditioners go out. So my daughter was getting ready to take me and my dog down to the hotel down here on Grand so we could at least have some cool weather. And then we went out and bought an air conditioner for the room but it didn't work because the house is too big. The service guys pounded on old air conditioner a while and fixed it, and it has worked since.

    The only thing is that sometimes 2-10 don't fix the things that I really need to be fixed like my sink. The thing that you pull up to hold the water into the sink and let it out broke and fell down into the pipe and they said they wouldn't fix it. Other than that, we'd recommend 2-10 to somebody. And we're moving into another house when it gets built. So, 2-10 will probably go with us.

Two or three days later they called to tell me that the repair was under review. Remember it's summer in Florida. The young lady on the phone was very confused and could not explain what was happening. I asked for a supervisor who got on the phone with me. I complained that it is too late to review after my repair was approved. He apologized for the first person calling me and giving me wrong info, but insisted that further review was necessary. I lost it. I've had food poisoning for two days and this guy wants to tell me BS. I paid all this money for a warranty and these folks want to jerk me around.

Today's date 06/08/2017. Feeling completely ripped off. Normal daytime temp here is 90 plus degrees. I wonder if the price of the part is the problem. About 2000 bucks.

    First, if I could give 2-10 a negative 10 stars, I would. My experience in getting them to address the AC problem has been a nightmare. Early May, claim submitted, they would not get anyone out to check out the problem because no contractors want to take the call, so they authorized out of network contractor who come out and provided a diagnose back to 2-10 that the heat pump needs to be replaced. However, out of network contractors refuse to deal with 2-10 because they take months to pay invoice. 2-10 claimed the quote was too high and wanted a second opinion. They send another contractor who came out to the house and informed me that the heat pump needs to be replaced. It took my property manager calling 2-10 daily, and me calling them about every 2-3 days and now, two weeks later, replacement approval has not been execute.

    I called again today, call center gave me the same answer they did two weeks ago, claimed contractor did not provide diagnosis. I asked to speak to a supervisor, I got transferred to claim management department, who put me on hold twice then eventually call got cut off. Shanika did call me back to tell me that the heat pump unit does not need to be changed and only need to change compressor and need the compressor model and part numbers to move forward. She stated that the brand new compressor was put in last September. I asked her when will this be done as it has been over a month and she provided the standard response: "We will try to get this resolved for you as soon as we can."

    First, she was not the person who came out to the house nor the expert, how would she determine that the entire unit does not need to be replaced? Second, if the compressor was new and was put in back in September 2016, shouldn't that work order be on file for her to look up model and part numbers? So as of now, 6 June 8:36 pm, over a month later, still no resolution, AC still broken, my tenants want compensations for an overheated house where they cannot sleep which affect their studies. I paid for the warranty for 3 years for services that have been unacceptable, and only a year in. I will contact Maryland office of attorney general next to ask them what my next course of action should be. I will also seek out info of this company's execs and will contact them or have my lawyer contact them if this issue is not resolved by 10 June. Work order number is **.

    I am very dissatisfied with the service, or rather the lack of service we received from 2-10 Home Warranty. Our AC stopped working and 2-10 was very unresponsive in helping us getting it fixed. I had to call them multiple times to figure out what was going on. First, they told me they couldn't help me during the weekend - which is brutal during the summer heat in Florida. Second, they didn't have an in-network provider and told us to get our own and they would reimburse us. They requested my contractor contact them. He tried for over a week to get them to call him back and they never did. Once the work was completed, I emailed them our invoice as they had requested. I heard nothing. I again had to keep calling to try and figure out what was going on.

    When I finally got in contact with someone, they told me they saw that I had emailed them the invoice, but that the representative failed to upload it. They asked me to send it again. Then a week passes and I still have heard nothing. I call again and they again asked me to send in my invoice. A few days passes and I've heard nothing, even though the rep said she would respond to me to let me know she received our invoice. So I call again. After trying to talk to someone, I get a call back two hours later and they inform me that they aren't going to reimburse us at all since the part was under manufacturer's warranty.

    Well even though the part was under the manufacturer's warranty, the 12 gallons of refrigerant and labor were not. They told me we were SOL for the $1400, because the part was the reason we lost all of the refrigerant. Basically, we bought a home warranty, that includes AC repairs, for something they won't cover since it's "covered under warranty." Why even bother having a warranty with them?! We are cancelling our policies and will be going with a better company.

Each time I call I have to hold (today 25 minutes) to talk to a different person, revalidate my information, explain myself over and over, refer them to the notes on my claim, get different answers.

    To take a month on a claim is unacceptable. And to top it off, when the contractor came to my home last Friday (a month in) he found a problem and stopped there without going deeper to thoroughly diagnose the issue. When I asked him if he checked the coil (where the leaks are) he said no. I finally asked him to leave. Now I am back on the phone with 2-10 trying to get to a supervisor. To treat a customer with such poor service is beyond my understanding. Luckily, I am stubborn enough that I will fight this to the end. Wish me luck. I cannot recommend 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty.

And after this experience - I’m 0/2 in positive results. I really do not believe that 2-10 has over 3 stars - I'm pretty sure the high ranking reviews are not real. Outside of this site, you don't see any with much more than 2 or 3 stars. I have made more than 6 phone calls to 2-10 about 1 issue, yes one, where I actually talked to someone. I was hung up on twice (not counted in my 6 times) and was told I'd be contacted back and that never happened until I called back 4 days later.

    The issue is with water in my house - pressure is too high and the hot water tank keeps popping off, so I called 2-10. At first not too bad about getting someone in touch with me - their choice on plumber. Plumber was actually pretty good, not flexible on his times to come, but overall good and thorough (which is most the reason they get 2 stars instead of 1). They evaluated the issue very well and came up with 3 items to fix the issues properly. A new pressure reducing valve to the house, replacing a failed temperature device on hot water tank, and a tempering valve to control the water going to the house - last one is needed based on the type of heating system that is in the house. 2-10 approved 2 of the 3 - they would not cover the tempering valve - said it was "new" equipment and they only service current items.

    The tempering valve is not only required by code, but is a safety item to prevent scalding or burning. While some of the customer service people on the phone said they "understood" it was still denied by the people they "checked" with. A warranty is meant to fix things when they are not working - and fixing does not mean fix partially - especially when it involves safety. It is very apparent to me they are not concerned with approving what needs to be done safely to make the repairs properly as much as they are about saving and making money. I made each of the people I spoke with aware that the decision they made to not safely repair the issue, with the recommendations of the plumber 2-10 provided, who actually had their eyes on the system, will be considered negligence when my son, my wife, or myself gets burned by scalding hot water - and they will have to explain that to the proper authority.

    2-10 was the home buyer’s warranty that my builder used and when the 10 years for everything else ran out, I contacted them to re-up. I've filed a claim a couple times now and they've been responsive. However, the last time, 2-10 sent the wrong kind of person. When I filed the claim, they sent an electrician when I needed somebody else. But other than that, everybody they sent has been good. Also, they all want everybody to do everything online and I don't like to do that. That is frustrating. But sometimes I could be on hold for 20 minutes till I talk to a person. But once I get somebody on the phone I get a good result. Overall, I've had a positive experience with 2-10 so I'll stick with them.

    We entered into an extended warranty on all appliances and air conditioning when our builders warranty expired. Lennar referred us to 2-10 warranty company. The microwave broke within one year. 2-10 states it is not a built in microwave but GE states it is a built in. 2-10 issued a warranty for our microwave but states the microwave is not covered. So why am I under contract for a warranty with 2-10 if it is not covered?

    They sent a technician to repair the microwave on 3/23. We paid $75.00 for the visit. The technician stated the sensors needed to be replaced. It would take 7 business days to replace. Two months later and 3 additional work orders to have it repaired to then be told by 2-10 they would not repair or replace because the model was not covered in the contract.

    What type of warranty company issues a contract to cover an appliance - gets confirmation from the manufacturer on a taped conversation that the microwave is a built in unit and refuses to honor the contract? The answer is a company that is dishonest and not reputable. Stay away from this company. Do NOT sign any contracts with them. Their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced and after 10 weeks of being jerked around they will not honor your contract.

I can't even count the number of times and hours I've spent on the phone with vendors and 2-10 to get the air fixed with no result. I don't have any confidence in the vendors that 2-10 selects.

    To say that I am unsatisfied is highly underestimating my frustration towards your company right now. I have an existing claim to have a part fixed on my AC unit that has been going on for 4+ weeks, with no resolution in sight. I have sat on hold for more than 10 hours, during 9 phone calls with your company. The part needed was initially shipped to the wrong place for our contractor (assigned by YOUR company). I had to wait another week + for the part to be re-shipped to the correct place. The contractor finally gets the part and comes to my home to install it today and IT'S THE WRONG PART. So now, I'm sitting on hold AGAIN -waiting for your Parts Dept. to pick up the phone and be rude to me - once again.

    The owners that we bought our condo from paid for the 2-10 Home Warranty for us in Sept 2016. I am so happy we didn't waste our money on it because the "warranty" has been useless. We have had a plumber come out 3 times to do nothing. He would leave to say he would be back and that followed up with very rude calls from 2-10 to say the warranty does not cover our problems. Famous words, "Your warranty does not cover that". I would love to know what it covers because as of today we have paid contractors more out of pocket than 2-10 has to get nothing done.

    We had an appliance guy come out for the refrigerator and dishwasher that started leaking, it was 100.00 per each appliance on the same visit from the same repairman. We said no to him looking at the dishwasher and just bought a new one before he charged us another 100.00 to say the problem wouldn't be covered. With the Customer Service you call to say you have a problem that needs repairs, they have been nice but Customer Service you talk to when they won't cover something are as rude as they come. Hateful is a better word.

    I have hung up on them twice already, today being 1 of the 2 times. We have a Heat & Air person coming out today also, I guess we will see how that goes or if it's another 100.00 thrown in the garbage for them to say, "Your warranty doesn't cover that" by another rude customer service rep. If it happens again I will cancel our contract today.

    We had a horrible experience with another warranty provider. Our realtor recommended 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty and we trusted her. We've been with them for about a year and a half now, and it's been easy submitting a claim. I do it on the phone and they take in all the information and they're polite. The claims representative has been very nice, knowledgeable, quick and efficient.

    When I called on a Saturday, a claims person told me it was going to take until Monday for the contractor to call back. They did call on Monday and they said they'll come on Tuesday or Wednesday. But I said we really needed them to come that day. A tech came that afternoon while the rain was pouring down. It was very nice. He checked that we had changed the filters on our air conditioning system. He went out and looked at the thing and diagnosed the problem. He then contacted 2-10 Home Buyers and he fixed the problem right there on the spot. It has really been a good experience.

But the very first time we had some issue, they didn't do that good. I asked him to look into the vent and I have two, one in the attic and one is in the basement.

    I have had the services of 2-10 consistently since 2012 when I moved into my home. I have called on their services one other time before in the middle of 2015. The contractor stated that all my a/c unit needed was more freon. I paid what I was advised and the following year my husband and I both worked long periods of time away from our home not using our unit. Now that we are back home for the summer I have realized my unit was not working and have had to call back again. This is where my experience gets horrible! I call in to initiate a ticket for my not blowing unit as I have done previously. I was advised the contractor would be at my home from the hrs of 12-4.

    To make sure I am home I call off of work and wait for the contractor. The contractor calls and states that he is 45 min out. After an hour and a half has passed I call him back and he states that he has already been to my home and on his way to his next job. I call the 2-10 again and let them know to send someone else and I do not want this gentleman out to my home. The 2nd contractor I was told would arrive the following Saturday again between the hours 12-4. My husband and I wait and again no contractor arrives. I call in once again and was advised another contractor will contact me for an appt. The next time I was contacted was the following Monday when the contractor was outside my home. Just happy a contractor arrived while I was home. I opened the door and while he diagnosed my a/c I kindly waited with $100 for his visit.

    Shortly after 2-10 called me to let me know I would need to pay $632 for my out of pocket costs for my unit. I requested a breakdown and was transferred. I asked the 2nd rep the same question and after a combined total of 42 min on the phone with both reps I was advised that my account was not documented correctly and they would need to call me back. The rep also advised that my cost could go up. I advised her that, "You called me to pay $632 with an undocumented account and no information as to my questions." She apologized as all customer reps are trained to do and again I am left where I started waiting for answers.

    I received an email advising another contractor will be coming to my home. Knowing I pay $100 every time a contractor comes out I call 2-10 again to find out what is going on since it has been 4 days since I was supposed to receive a call. I was advised my out of pocket expenses were now over $1300! I again asked for the breakdown. At this time I am so extremely frustrated with the reps reading from the screen I email the contractor for a better understanding.

    I was very satisfied with the breakdown that I received from the contractor himself. Among the parts that were not covered under my insurance that I pay monthly was a rollout switch for my furnace to automatically cut my furnace off when it gets too hot preventing such issues as my house burning down! The contractor advised me that this had previously been cut and bypassed. Along with that the issues and money that I racked up with this visit was somehow not seen by the previous contractor that 2-10 sent to service my a/c as they say my biggest investment.

    I immediately get off the phone with the contractor and call 2-10. I question the fact that I was not advised of the hazardous situation that the contractor had advised me the previous contractor had left my home in. At this time I cannot even think about the fact that if the previous contractor they had contracted had done their job I would not have such a huge problem today!

    The rep advised me that I will need to contact and file a claim for my home insurance since every year I sign a new contract with 2-10 they are no longer responsible for the claims in that year. She advised the best she can do is escalate this to the department for property damage to my home. At this point I am furious! The one time that I really need assistance and guidance I am left waiting after calling off of my job, given miscommunication, and left with an extreme fire hazard in my home!! I reached out for their services so that my home would be protected and I was able to trust the contractors that I let inside of my home.

    I have reached back out to the contractor myself to make arrangements that everything concerning my unit would be fixed properly and my family will be safe going forward. I will continue to follow up to find out what is done with the previous contractor to make sure the contractor I was sent previously is not sent to anyone else's home! I got 2-10 to bypass much of the headache and aggravation of having to work with contractors and being taken advantage of. I was advised to call 2-10 back in a couple days to make my payment of $1300. As disgusted as I am, all I want is to get this hazard fixed in my home immediately!!

    After purchasing an older home, built in 1948, I thought it prudent to buy a home warranty. The intent was to potentially save money in the event of a catastrophic repair and save time by letting the warranty find a contractor to make the repairs. I was generally satisfied with 2-10 Home Warranty in dealing with small, non-emergency plumbing and electrical issues, but 2-10 failed miserably when I really needed it. The main sewer line backed up and we had sewer water on the basement floor. Any water used in the house was making the situation worse. Over the course of a week, 2-10 Home Warranty dispatched 3 different contractors, none of which were willing or able to respond.

    I finally found my own plumber who responded the same day I called. Unfortunately, despite its failure to find me a plumber and the inconvenience of the water and sewage problem, 2-10 Home Warranty's reimbursement was only $72. On top of that, although the plan covers clearing sewer line blockage, if the cause of the blockage turns out to be root encroachment the coverage is negated! Don't waste your time and money on 2-10 Home Warranty.

    UPDATED ON 06/24/2017: When my sewer pipe backed up and sewer water came up through the floor drain, I contacted 2-10 Home Warranty to get a plumber. Over the course of a week, 2-10 dispatched three different plumbing companies, and none of them responded, nor could I or the 2-10 agent get these plumbing companies to answer calls. Having waited for too long already, I called a plumber on my own who snaked and cleared the main sewer line. For all of my troubles, and despite their inability to find me a plumber, 2-10 reimbursed me only $68 for the $598 job because it was an out of network plumber.

    Even more infuriating was that despite having talked to multiple 2-10 Home Warranty agents who assured me they would talk to their manager, and then submitting along with the invoice a memo detailing my ordeal, it was only after I posted this story on CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM that I received an email and a phone call from a 2-10 Warranty customer care representative. By that time I had canceled my policy, which, said the representative, made it impossible for 2-10 to send me any more money, unless, she suggested, I reinstate my policy. I declined and pointed out to her that 2-10 Home Warranty apparently pays more attention to CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM than to their customers who need help. I want to thank CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM for getting their attention.

In contacting 2-10 today, 5/26 they indicated that they have not had any contact with the assigned Contractor this far? We are in 90 degree weather, and the part is just sitting there. I reached out to the contractor Fink Mechanical - Fuquay Varina, NC on 5/25 and today 5/26 and left several messages indicating that the part is available and that the home is still without A/C, but to no avail. In complaining to 2-10 on 5/26, they then decided to reach out to the Contractor. Should they have not been contacted 5/24, and if this is not a dependable company, why are you utilizing their services!!

    The technician who came out to our home indicated that it would be after Memorial Day if the part was not in prior to the weekend. Well, it has definitely been available prior to the weekend, 5/24 to be exact according to 2-10 and the confirmation email received. This is ridiculous! No return call or email.

I became acquainted with her that way and I became rather loyal to her for no reason other than I always got good service from her. My customers did also, which is not my worry. If she moved, I moved with her and I can always take my clients. I have to, by law, give them some choices and I tell them that, "I use them and they've been good to me. They're very fair and they're very understanding." I would not leave them now if Rhonda did because they've been so good.

It's a small town and some of them are known. Some I know by reputation and they're all very respectful and timely so far. I had one issue which wasn't 2-10's fault.

    My home was shingled with asphalt shingles between Dec. 9 and Dec. 17, 2016. The weather was wet and snowy and temperatures were below freezing, averaging 20F during that period in the Indianapolis area. Because of the weather, the roof looked bad and shingles did not appear to be sealed. Some could be seen standing up in a wind. The builder has repeatedly said that the shingles would not seal until summer time. In the meantime, from Feb. 3 to May 10, there were windstorm events that caused several tabs to be torn off and other wind damage. The 2-10 warranty company defers to the builder to decide if he is going to replace them under warranty. The builder has declined to replace them saying that there was an event, I am not sure when, in which winds exceeded the specification for this 3-tab shingle. Therefore, the warranty is void.

    I have owned the house for 3-4 months and I already have to replace the roof at my expense... at least for the insurance deductible and possibly when I incur a higher premium if I involve the insurance. I will likely not use the same roofer. Therefore my warranty for the roof will be worthless going forward. My argument is: How could the warranty not apply if the builder admits the shingles were not sealed? How could the unsealed shingles be expected to not sustain damage in a wind, regardless whether it exceeds the specification or not. And had they been sealed, they MAY have withstood a heavy wind as there are several factors that might come into play for the roof to be damaged.

    Barry, per your request this issue has been elevated to the VP of Sales, VP of Marketing, New Home Claims Manager and VP of Strategic Alliances. Upon review, 2-10 HBW feels that the builder is doing a nice job responding to your needs. Additionally, the builder is well within the National Association of Home Builders Residential Construction Performance Guidelines and is entitled to take the repair approach versus replacement. In regards to missing roof shingles, your warranty states that your Builder’s responsibility is to “replace shingles that blow off in winds less than the manufacturer’s standards or specifications only if improper installation is shown to be the cause.” Our records show that your Builder has informed 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty that they have replaced all of the shingles that have blown off, despite the windstorm speeds.

    At this time your builder has agreed to continue replacing shingles within the manufacturer’s guidelines until the summer heat allows your roof to fully seal. The builder also believes the sealant issue should be resolved when the temperatures are warmer in the upcoming months of June/July. The builder will continue with needed repairs until the evidence that the shingles did not seal properly is apparent.

    I am deeply sadden with the service timeliness I received with 2-10 on at least 3 service request numbers, **. I've had so many work request that I forgot how many plumbers have been to our residence. The bottom line is that we have a hole in our kitchen, no hot water in the master bedroom and can't use the master toilet because it leaks in the kitchen (which now has a hole in the ceiling). Since 3/23/2017 we have been waiting to resolve this plumbing issue. The back facts are as followed.

    The plumbing service that was requested on 3/23/2017 was never complete. The worker came out, stabilized the leak in master bedroom and said he would be back. He said he was going to order a faucet and come back and install it. He never did! Budget plumbing was unreachable. Their voicemail states that they don't check their voicemails and that it would be best if you called back. They never called back or came back to my residence. 2-10 tried calling them too and because of no answer they decided to send other contractor out!!!

    This new company came out 2 weeks ago so around the first week in May. He said it was an easy fix and cut a hole in my kitchen and said he would be back "sometime next week". No call, no show, AGAIN! After several calls to 2-10, I was told someone from contractor relations would call. No calls. I attempted to get a direct number but was denied. Still no call. How can an issue stemmed from 3/23/2017 still go unresolved.

    I called yesterday and the customer rep was by far the best yet. She seen that the initial order was put in the system as an HVAC issue which would cause problems for the contractor... still no one called me to update me. Then once they got it right, they say I would have to pay an additional 188.00 out of pocket because of the concealed work order. I asked to speak to the manager and she was COLD... very little remorse. She said I have two options, take the buyout or pay the 188.00. I don't feel like this is the right response with the long lag times in contacting me with my plumbing issues.

    Why do the contractors get away with not completing a job? With the long time between contractors there was more water damage done. Why can't no one call me back from contractor relations? Is this job so big that plumbers keep running away from it? This isn't even all the details, but there is so much to try and remember. What's the point in having 2-10 if I gotta do the legwork and find a reputable contractor to start and finish the job. To date I have 3 open work order. Each work order should have been complete. Please read this post and educate yourself before you spend your hard earned money. The customer service overall that I received is subpar and astonishing.

    I did get a response... 2-10 did refund the money for the toilet repair and paid up to their max for the total repair which is half of what it is going to cost. I am satisfied with the results. I am disappointed I had to do this to get any response.

    Original Review: May 22, 2017

    Buyers beware. Nothing but frustration. We bought a house and got this warranty as part of the deal. We had a plumbing problem. Toilet not stable. The first guy came out, stayed 5 minutes and said that the floor had to be torn out and new pipe and concrete was needed. Price around $2100. Supposedly they got the work approved and came out to perform the work. After about an hour they said the work was done and to wait 24 hrs. (I think 2-10 should look into that. The company probably charge them the $2100 price) They said they perform a simple repair by putting a smaller pipe into the bigger pipe and that would fix the problem. After 24 hrs the toilet still rock from side to side.

    Called another plumber company out. The other company was surprise at the shoddy work and showed me whatever glue (not sure what it was) was not even dry and said that fix would never work. This company said the same thing about needing a new pipe and concrete. The company was able to at least make the toilet stable but could not warranty the work because that was a temporary fix. That cost was about $300 dollars.

    We called 2-10 again. They sent out the same guys. Sent them away. They sent another plumbing company. They agreed the pipe and concrete needed to be repaired. Never heard another word. Called 2-10. They said, "We don't see anything from the plumbing company." 2-10 would check into that. Heard nothing. Looked online and the Service Request was cancelled. Still nothing. Needed electrical work. Had the electrician call and apparently got approval to perform the work. After the work was completed called 2-10. **Surprise the electrical work was denied**. NO calls or e-mails telling us they decided not to cover the work. Even though he has a work order # that 2-10 provided. Called again Service Request was denied. Scared to try anything else due to terrible service. Don't waste your money or time. Go somewhere else. We will not be renewing our contract.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with the house when we first moved into the house. I figured if I have it with the house, I might have it with the appliances also and I wanted to put the appliances also on the same contract with them. We have the warranty for the house for 16months and 1 year for the appliances. However, they were lousy. I called them up and said my refrigerator was acting strangely. I heard sparking in there so I unplugged it because I didn't want to start a fire. I found out later that sparking was normal but at the time, I was concerned that I was having a fire in the back.

    The claims rep picked a place that he's familiar with but later that day, I found out that they hadn't returned his call so he picked out Sears. They gave me the number for Sears so I could check it out myself. Sears says "Yes, we'll see you in six days" but I can't live with it, it's my refrigerator freezer. Everything I have in there is going to go bad so they got me another name. It turned out to be a commercial air conditioning place and nothing to do with refrigerator freezer. So, I called several companies up and finally got somebody out that day. They told me, "If you look in your manual, there is sparking in there which is a cleaning agent so there's no problem or concern. He fixed it and charged me $100. I was pleased to turn it back on and everything was fine. 2-10 Home Buyers is horrible and does not know what they're doing.

    I filed a claim with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty on May 5, 2017 regarding my HVAC system. This is the 4th service request I have submitted for the same 2 problems in the past 2 years. I have had 3 different Heating and Cooling Companies out to service this unit. The unit has a leak in it, which doesn't hold the Freon in to cool and the unit runs for almost an hour only to drop 3 degrees. Last April Mission Heating was contracted to fix it. All they did was put stop leak in it and add more Freon, (outside) and it leaked again. So the leak is on the outside with the condenser (the other unit). The other problem I have is the unit Freezes up and when it is turned off all the ice melts and floods my living room floor for the pan is rusted and has holes in it from repeated leaks. The latest Service Tech to come out and look at the units said both of them need to be replaced.

    I have placed countless calls to 2-10 in the past 2 weeks speaking with Customer Service, Management, and the Purchasing Department and also the contractor. On May 11th I was told they were replacing the Air Handler (inside unit) by the contractor and that it was ordered (by 2-10) for delivery on May 17th and installation to be scheduled upon its arrival. Only to be told on May 18th by 2-10 they never ordered it. Yesterday I called both 2-10 and the contractor and they BOTH told me they were waiting for a call from the other. Seriously!! Today is May 20th and neither unit is fixed or replace. It's going to be in the 100's here this week in Tucson, 2-10 offered me a $60.00 allowance to purchase a temporary cooling unit until this is fixed. I ask what is $60.00 going to get me, for that won't cover a window air conditioner, fans to blow hot air around?

    What's really frustrating is this past year I was told by one of 2-10 representatives when renewing to consider adding the Enhanced HVAC coverage for an additional charge, which I did. I was told that the Freon that my unit takes would not be available here in AZ starting January 1, 2017 and with the additional premium I would be covered, that was back in May of 2016. This has to get resolved, this has to get fixed ASAP.

    At the beginning of April my AC went out. And when my girlfriend and I filed a claim, the company sent out a very unprofessional contractor who used foul language, was inappropriately dressed (butt crack hanging out when he would bend over to look at the unit), walked into the house with dirty shoes (from walking in mud and clearly wet grass), and wouldn't even bother to put in the effort to do full diagnostic work up and just said it was completely broken. When we proceeded to call 2-10 about this issue and how we were not okay with this contractor, they proceeded to tell us that would be okay for us to go with our own company. And that all we would need to do prior to having the unit replaced is have them call in a diagnosis of what's wrong with the unit.

    So after having two companies come in to diagnosis the problem and give us an idea of what needed to be done and a ballpark figure on cost, we had one of the companies call in the diagnosis to 2-10. The issue with this is the fact that our contractor had wait close to an hour to only deal with a rude customer service agent who misconstrued the diagnosis that he was calling in. This proceeded to cause some internal issue within 2-10 to where they kept us in the dark for two weeks with no idea of what was going on. So naturally we were a little anxious to figure out what was going on so we decided to call them for an update. This is when they finally decided to tell us that our claim was being reviewed by the high dollar claims department for the "abnormally" high dollar amount our contractor was asking for despite it being close to a $1000 less than the other contractor.

    So we were naturally curious what needed to be done, but they just told us that we had to wait even longer the review to be finished. So we decided to wait until the next week before calling again. So when we did call again, they told our claim was rejected and that we could either go with their sketchy contractor, accept $550 (a fraction of the real cost) for a completely broken AC unit or have our contractor call in again. So we asked our contractor to call in again and he told us that when he did get hold of someone that they were extremely rude to him yet again and wouldn't let him speak so that he could elaborate on what was wrong. And that the notes they had from their previous conversation did not accurately reflect what was wrong and the real cost of the replacement.

    So after hearing that he was able to get into contact with them, my girlfriend and I had to call several times and speak with numerous rude representatives in several different departments over the course of several hours before finding out that their representative did a poor job of noting the issue with our unit and that they were still only going to pay out $550 unless we could get our contractor to call in yet again and reexplain the situation. So that's what we did and after several weeks of having three people trying to work with them, they finally decided that they'd be willing to pay a little more than a $1000.

    Even though the final amount they offered to pay was nowhere near what we felt was appropriate for them to pay, we decided to accept it because of how tired we are of dealing with crooks and being without AC. If it wasn't for the fact that 2-10 was included in my girlfriend's purchase of the house, I would've never chosen to go with them based upon my experience and the countless negative reviews they have on the internet.

    My AC went out on 4/19/2017. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since my AC went out, and it is 95 degrees here in Georgia today. After having my claimed incorrectly denied and having to fight to get them to provide the services they guaranteed, I have still made very little progress. I received an email providing an estimated delivery date for the necessary parts on 5/15/2017. I contacted the contractor today who had not received the parts then contacted 2-10. They told me they weren't even sure if the parts had been shipped. They said to call back on the 25th, which will be over 5 weeks since my AC went out.

    I have never dealt with so terrible a company. I would have been better off replacing the unit myself. I paid extra for the supreme coverage which has done me no good. This is unacceptable. I don't even know how long the repairs will last or if they will even fix the problem. I will most likely be suing. Save yourself the headache and don't go with 2-10.

I will be looking elsewhere for warranty because this is double the price of what I have found the same coverage with other companies.

    Our air conditioner went out about 3 weeks ago. We called 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. They said a vendor they worked with would contact us. We waited to hear something and finally after three days got a text from a heating and air company. They said we had an appointment the coming Thursday which was another 3 days away. So Thursday... they were supposed to be coming between 2 and 4. They never came. My husband got a text at 4:30 that our appointment had been canceled. We were literally in shock over this. Never have I experienced anything like that. Canceling an appointment via text thirty minutes after the appointment window. So my husband contacted 2-10 again. He explained that it was crazy that it had been over a week and we still haven't been able to even have someone come look and see what the problem was.

    We live in South Carolina. I am pregnant. We have an 8 month old baby. And two older kids. And even at night, upstairs is hovering right under 90 degrees. Finally last Thursday... which was about 2 weeks after our air broke, another HVAC company came out. And diagnosed the problem. And said they would report back to 2-10. But not to expect it to be fixed for another week. My husband followed up with 2-10 Friday and they said they hadn't heard from the HVAC company. But when we called the HVAC company they said they had reported back the diagnosed problem.

    At this point... there are still no answers. My husband called the warranty company again today and they said they would contact the HVAC company. And they would call us back with some type of answer. We haven't heard back. We are beyond frustrated. I stay home with the baby. And have been in the hot house day in and day out for three weeks now. I am beyond upset and appalled at the unorganized nature of a "professional company".

    I've had 4 claims filed with 2-10. The first claim was a microwave oven that didn't work. The second one was an evaporator coil in our air conditioner that didn't work. Then the third was a dishwasher that didn't work and the fourth one was an air conditioner that didn't work. All claims were submitted on the phone and the claims representative gave me a number of the claim as well as the contact information for the firm that would be doing the repair.

    I got in contact with the contractors and everybody was fine. However, the response for the air conditioning units was a little slow and then the last one was given to a firm that was 30 miles away and two towns down, rather than a local firm. When they got here, they were fine, but it took a couple of days in order for them to get here. Still, the service contractor did the job that they were asked to do and it was a job well done. Overall, I recommend that 2-10 use a local contractor, rather than one who is two towns away. Nonetheless, I'm happy with 2-10 Home Buyers.

    Our contractor had set us up for 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty when we bought the house 10 years ago. My experience filing a claim over the phone has been usually pretty good. Once in a while I get one of the little cocky people. But hey, that’s routine, no big time. It took a couple of days for a contractor to get in touch with me, which is normal. Ain’t no big time. Young people come out here, especially the plumbers, and they were all fantastic. I just had a problem with the air condition man. He said, “Your vent here is not large enough. We need to have to put your vent in your living room here.” I asked how much it would cost and he wrote $700. Then I had a friend come over and he said nothing’s wrong with the system. So that's a scammer. They were just trying to get my money and they messed up my house.

    Generally, the claim is pretty good but the billing people are crazy. They already gave a little deduction on the policy in the early part of the year but my policy expired on the 19th of January and I ain’t got nothing to say to them. I put it on Chris and then I got back up. Then they said they were going to send the policy but they didn't. I still haven’t got no copy of it. For the billing, I’d rate them 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 be the best. They don’t care, they got your money and you worry about it. If they don’t give the paperwork in, I'll take my lawyer to talk to them. I’m a retired military so we got a free lawyer service so there ain’t no problem with that. 2-10 has been good all these years. Then all of a sudden, they are going wacky-wacky. But it happens.

    Before I left my home with Sears, as I was moving to my condo, I had coverage with 2-10 but I debated with them and they had been calling me trying to get me to come back. I then decided I would try them for at least a year in my condo. Their customer service team has been good. On the other hand, the most problem I've had was getting someone who can respond to me in a timely fashion and I've always had to wait. Sometimes, one person comes and say it's not their specialty. The next time, somebody would say that I needed to get a plumber or an electrician and so I'm not happy with that kind of arrangement but once I have the right person, the job is taken care of.

    When I first moved into my condo, I had an issue with carbon monoxide build up. The alarm would go off and it was frightening because it happened three times. Each time, someone would say it's not the stove but it's something else. Then the furnace people would come and say it's not the furnace. The second time it happened, the Frigidaire people brought me a new stove and took the old one out but it happened again. They sent somebody out and he went up the furnace to rebuild something. It came to a point when I was afraid to use my oven, thinking that's what was making the build up. It was not a happy feeling at all, but I'm happy the problem hasn't occurred within the last few months.

    Then I had another situation where water was running into my laundry room and it was not my washing machine. The HVAC person could not find any reason why the water was seeping under my baseboard and settling into my laundry room. He said I needed a plumber so the plumber came out and in about two seconds, he knew exactly what it was. He opened the door on the other side and the pipe that was supposed to send the condensation from the air conditioning out came loose. The water was settling into the room, seeping under the floor and settling into the lowest level in the laundry room. He took care of it right away and he did an excellent job.

    My family and I, which includes a 4 month old, have been without hot water for a week and a half. 2-10 has lied repeatedly about phone calls being made to contractors. I would call as soon as I got off the phone and would immediately get the contractor. The contractors are very trustworthy that we have worked with so far. We had a hot water heater leaking into our garage. They came out and said it was a pressure regulator and would not replace the water heater because the regulator is what caused the failure of the water heater. Never mind the water heater is 10 years old and has reached the end of its life and is the very reason you purchase home warranties to begin with. Is there ever a reason to call in a warranty claim that isn't connected to some other wear and tear on the equipment?

    If I had filed a claim for the regulator and the water heater separately then they would have paid for both...but now they are trying to get out of paying for something that should clearly be under my contract. We have now had 3 plumbers come out and might have to add a 4th. I'll know tomorrow if "Jay" from the claims department calls me like he says he will. An unlikely thing since NO ONE has ever called me from 2-10. It's always me doing the calling and waiting. I won't be renewing with this warranty company. American Home Shield was out within 24 hours and had a new water heater in my home in our last house.

    Lastly, not sure what homing pigeon system you guys have to take notes and communicate with but it's ridiculous. Every time I call I get different information. Every time I call I get a different person. Every time I call I have to explain the entire situation because the person on the other end is clueless. This is maybe the worst part about my whole experience. In the last week I've spent a minimum of 10 hours on the phone with 2-10 mostly and 3 different contractors. This is unacceptable and I'll do everything I can to let people know how terrible the customer service is at this company.

Most recently I had a technician out for garbage disposal repair or replacement and it was excellent. I was real happy with it.

Came late second appointment and took lots of pictures. Left to order part. Over a week later took three calls to get response. He had to 'pick up' part. He called next day and said he was picking up part and needed our model number. Now why does someone who is picking up an ordered part need model number. Would have expected that was needed to order part. Next day, part not in. Another day part not in. Put in another work order and waiting to hear from company on second work order.

    I've had 2-10 for home warranty for about 10 years. They are the ones I had in my house when I bought it. I didn't do it for a year and then I decided to take it back. The payment went up this year but that's all right. My experience with the customer service has been mostly good. I would submit a claim over the phone and then they'd send somebody out. However, sometimes the technicians that come out aren’t that great. They don't show up and they'll reschedule. Then I lose a day off at work and then I got to do it again the next day. But the appliances they serviced are all good.

    We were purchasing the house and our realtor suggested we take a look at 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. Since then, we had them as our home warranty provider for four and a half years. We have submitted about four claims. Submitting has been good except for one that was awful but they corrected it. They sent out somebody to repair our clothes dryer. He was an aged fat guy and he had no clue what he was doing. He had to come back about three times and then he finally got the right part and he put it in wrong. We called 2-10 and they assigned somebody else and this guy fixed it in five minutes. We asked him if he could repair our refrigerator and that was great after.

    We've had coverage through 2-10 for about 12 years altogether. It's easy to submit a claim. I make a claim on the phone and the reps are nice. But it's a very long and frustrating process. There's miscommunication and things take a really long time to get done. I have a really nice policy, but they refuse a lot of things that they shouldn't. I'm frustrated and a little upset right now because they turned me down for a problem that they really should've covered. They say that if they can't fix an appliance, they will replace it. Then they keep trying to fix something that is so broken. They get it to start working and it lasts for a little bit longer, and then I have to call them again. So, I'm not real happy. I have one air conditioner that's not been working now for over two weeks.

    The service contractors that have come out to do the work are okay, but not great. None of them are based down here in St. Augustine. They're all from Jacksonville and they have to come all the way here. So, it's always a pain and it takes a week away before they come out for service. Sometimes, 2-10 has been really good, but at other times they've not been as good.

    For the most part of the experience with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, it was good. I like the premise of the warranty and having our house covered. I didn't have it covered for a little while. For a couple of months that I had a hot water out, it wasn't a problem because I could fix it but it still cost me an extra $200 to almost $300 more which I could have paid somebody to come out and do it instead. I just had a plumber come up, I had to pay him $500 to reroute a line that was messed up. Had that been covered, they would have taken care of it, with no charge to me. So I paid $100 to 2-10 to come out and they told me that the line is part of the septic so it's not covered. I paid $600 in total to have it fixed and it's still not fixed. The fact that they charge extra for a septic and they don't charge extra for a sewer line, I think that's wrong.

    The complaint I have is the rates. 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty need to have the system revamped just to charge. I started out paying $400 a year and it's up over $600 a year. More than the cost of living and more than the market. They could work a little bit better on taking care of the customers instead of putting money in their pocket. If our rates continue to go up, I'm not going to stay with it. It's not going to be worth it because I pay the amount and then I have to pay a deductible so I'm shopping for a new Home Warranty. I'll continue to use somebody else because I believe having a warranty is a great idea.

    I am beyond dissatisfied with this company. This is the worst home warranty that we have purchased. Our built in microwave stopped working. We contacted 2-10 for service. Our problems began right away. The company that they contracted gave us an appt for 3:00 but the tech showed up at 0930 even after being told no one would be home until 3:00. We had to reschedule. The tech came out & looked at our microwave. We were told that the microwave was unrepairable due to a defect & that our home Warranty should replace it. He said once the home Warranty receives their report within 5 days, we should contact home Warranty to have it replaced.

    2-10 Warranty rec'd the report the next day & immediately contacted my husband to state that the claim was denied due to fire damage. Damage that was caused by a defective part in the microwave. They offered no investigation just basically denied our claim based on the "supposed" notes in the system from the repair company. I was told that my only option would be to pay someone else to come out on my own to get a second opinion. Why should I have to pay someone outside of my Warranty to come out. We have already paid the company they sent out a service fee just to tell us that it was not replaceable.

    I am so frustrated & disappointed in this company. Please do not make the mistake & choose to buy a Warranty from this company. We purchased a brand new home & have only had the microwave for 1 & 1/2 yrs. Something like this should not have happened. It's obviously a defective microwave, although they refuse to replace. What happened to the microwave was out of our control.

    2-10's reps have been fine but the contractors are slow to respond. If it's Friday, they don't get back to you until Monday. It's always days before you can get someone out. And when you get them out, they diagnose the problem and some of the parts have to be ordered. I've had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for three years and it's always a week to ten-day process. And if it's air conditioning or utilities, or if it's heating in the middle of the winter, a week is a long time to be cold.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was a part of our closing. We've had it for a month and we've submitted two claims. On the first one, my husband submitted online for our AC unit. And then the second one which is the dryer, I called in. Pretty easy process either way. But in the area that we live in, it's hard to find contractors to service a Samsung that works with the warranty. With the AC unit, my husband was able to have everything done online. We had more problem with the dryer.

    Since we can't find somebody who works with them, they had to use the internet search team to find a contractor. Once the problem is diagnosed, if it's all clear with them, they would have to pay with it over the phone with a credit card. However, the contractor came out today and the credit card machine was down so I ended up having to pay for the entire thing. And they are going to send a check to reimburse me. Other than the fact that it's hard to find somebody to work on the Samsung, everything is fine. It's been really easy.

    This warranty was placed on the home by my realtor. Within a few weeks of the home purchase some exterior lighting had stopped functioning so I called 2-10 and discussed this with them. As I mentioned it seemed like the lights stopped working after a recent storm, although how could I be sure the storm caused the damage or not, the representative I spoke with immediately stated related damage would be denied and I would need to call my homeowner's insurance provider. So basically this company seeks to deny possible claims without any investigation, which does not really describe a claims process as there has to at least be an investigation completed to even deny something. Don't bother with this company if you are seeking to purchase a home warranty - look elsewhere.

    I don't believe warranty, that's why I never buy any extra warranty. So why I have this 2-10? Because it was part of the new home package. What a waste! Right after the builder's 1-yr warranty expired, I started to get into problems associated with HVAC and foundation leak, which should be covered by the "2-yr" warranty, but guess what, they declined both issues right at the phone call, not even bother with an inspection. Why? Both issues are not small fixes. I believe the practices at this company are deceptive and hope other consumers will learn from my experience. They may repair some minor fixes to make you feel good, but if there's something that truly requires warranty, they will find all kinds of excuses to deny the claim.

    Every business is for profit, but their business model is, if they will lose money from a consumer, they will want that consumer to walk away rather than delivering their promise. They only want consumers who want a false security so that the company can have a big profit margin. I'm considering to file a complaint with Bureau of Consumer Protection on unfair and deceptive business practices. I hope other mistreated consumers can join me. We don't need another company which can't be trusted by consumers.

    Original Review: May 1, 2017

    We scheduled the service, checked the agreement and it looked like it was covered under a code violation--a breaker with the wrong amperage. Then 4 months later we got a bill and a notice saying the work hadn't been covered, but there was no protective feature for us since the contractor didn't call the warranty to double check the service was covered. When I called the warranty about it later I had to wait on hold for 30 minutes and then they said there was nothing they or we could do. We just had to pay the rest of the bill which is ridiculous. We are first time home buyers and we were trying to save money by doing this but it was a complete waste of time and money. The service would have been cheaper if we'd ordered the work done ourselves.

But if we hadn't had the repairman fix the microwave and just got the $100 to buy a new one, we would have been out that $100 because he showed us what it would have cost to have repaired our microwave which was $400 and to buy a new one was almost that. So, it was good that it was repairable and that the repairman was very pleasant and he came quickly. He also explained what he thought was wrong with the microwave.

    I originally received my contract with 2-10 when I purchased my house, renewed not long ago, but will not spend another dime with them in the future. I've had issues with my AC unit the past two years. The first was due to groundhogs damaging the wiring, and every time after has been related to the fact that the original repair was not done in a manner to actually resolve the issue, just as a break fix so the technician can leave ASAP.

    Every time we've had to call it in, it takes days to confirm when the company 2-10 sends out (Greenway Home Services) will be able to send a technician, and that company has never kept their word on the time frames given. Less than two weeks ago, they said they would arrive between 8 am and 12 pm. After 12 pm rolled around, we called (and waited forever on the phone), only to be told that we were wrong and they never gave that time frame, they would arrive between 3-5 pm. This didn't work for me as I had other plans that evening, which resulted in having to wait an additional two days for a technician to come out.

    Here we are again without air conditioning, placed the call early this week, however no one is able to come out til next Friday. I have animals and this is absolutely unacceptable for them to be miserable for that long. We've let 2-10 know about these issues, however they always send the same terrible companies out.

    My experience with 2-10 started off well. My water heater failed and 2-10 sent someone immediately. The contractor did a good job, but was slightly less than professional; and I ended up having to pay out of pocket for "modifications" not covered by 2-10, but I understood that they won't cover everything. The problem started when we needed to finish the job with drywall repair. The 2-10 rep threw up her hands and told me she couldn't find someone to close the hole in my wall. She told me to find someone on my own BUT that person had to get approval first. For the money I paid at this house and my old house, I wasn't expecting to do the leg work; but I did. I spent lots of time calling around and found a contractor. The contractor attempted to get authorization and got no response from 2-10. Two weeks later, I had to step back in and call 2-10 to find out when they would give approval.

    Their response was that the contractor accidentally left something out of their email, so 2-10 just ignored it instead of replying or contacting me. I asked them to follow up and was told "I don't contact people, that's a different department." Did they offer to forward the issue to the correct department? No. I was told to tell the contractor to start over with the approval process. I also found out that I have to pay out of pocket and then hope that I'll get fully reimbursed because this will be an "out of network" process. Why am I doing all of the work? Why can't 2-10 look for a contractor? Why do I have to come up with more money out of pocket because 2-10 doesn't have the resources to ensure that a home repair is done completely? I'm past the month mark on trying to get this all repaired. A plumber I spoke with (one who does work for 2-10) was correct in saying that he wouldn't trust this company with his home.

    Do not use 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty!!! I repeat do not use this company. Cancel your service and go with any other company!!! They do not cover anything!!! To make a long story short we signed up 3 yrs ago. I lost my job six months back and we didn't renew due to a lack of income until I found another job. So there was a little lapse in time between warranty (mind you we have been loyal customers for 3 years and did eventually renew when funds were available). We have had them out constantly to repair our AC. We just paid 75 dollars to have someone come out again because it keeps breaking. They were unable to fix it and the worker said he will recommend for a full replacement. We received a call today telling us we don't qualify due to a lapse in time when we were not signed up for the warranty!!! WOW!! Really? We paid over 650 bucks to renew our service and what was the point if this company doesn't stand by doing the right thing!?

    Filing with BBB and prosecuting to the full extent of the law if we are not refunded our 650 dollars plus the last four 75 co pays we had to pay! The service worker told me this 2-10 Buyers Warranty is terrible and they try to avoid covering things when they break at all cost and many customers have had issues!!! Give your business to a company that actually provides you with a service!!! And I have tried to resolve this before going to small claims court but the only thing employees at 2-10 keep saying is, "WE WILL REEXAMINE your claim or let me ESCALATE this or let's turn this around for you" but no resolution ever comes because they are total scammers!

The lady who called from customer service was very professional, very responsive and asked to make it right by refunding me the cost of the repairs from the first repair and the service charge for the slow repairs on the second one. Mistakes happen in business, and they admitted theirs and made it right. You can't ask for more than that. I've changed my mind about this business and would give them another chance.

    I've had 2 contracts with 2-10. The first one in Yorktown VA in 2013 was outstanding. I had one service call and it went like clockwork. The second contract I started last year for a rental property in Kansas. This one was horrible. The first service call for a water leak took 4 weeks with no shows/no calls from 3 different service companies before I finally canceled the warranty call. I had to pay a handyman to go out to stop the leak, then pay a plumber to fix it - total cost? More than my warranty costs... nice. I called multiple times and asked for my $ back on my warranty. Nothing doing - 2-10 said they were not responsible for the problems with the service companies (who is??). The second one took 3 1/2 weeks to replace a water tube in my dishwasher. On that one, I had to call them to remind them that my parts were in and to schedule the follow-up repair.

    To top it all off, today I received a phone call from 2-10 asking whether I would like to renew. I kindly said no, because... and the line went dead. No callback. I can only assume the sales agent didn't care why (really - you don't care why your customers are going away?). I called the number back and asked to speak to a manager (no luck. The agent would not hand me off). Bottom line - they can't do anything about it but note it on my record. They transferred me to sales and it went to voicemail. Not a great way to treat your customers. Now I'm not only displeased with their service but offended by their rude sales call. Bad service is one thing, but poor customer service and rude behavior make this a company worth staying away from.

    Not having to worry about all the stuff that came with owning a home and wanting to save some money, I decided to get 2-10 home warranty. However, the HVAC guy they sent to do an air conditioner repair came and his wife was in the passenger seat. They looked like they were on their way to go get something to eat. He told me that he could fix some stuff that wasn't covered under my warranty. But he got shocked in my attic and he wrote a report for 2-10. He also left all his tools in my garage 'cause he was in such a hurry to get out of there. If this man got shocked in my attic, he would have been in a hurry to go to the hospital and not in a hurry to leave his tools to be in a rush to take his wife out to eat. In the end, the AC problem never got fixed and I fixed it on my own. The drip pan was a little over full and it had spilled over.

    When I called 2-10 Home Warranty up again to get an electrician out a little bit later, they said that their contractor was here and he got shocked in my attic and they were not going to send anybody out for any electrical issues. I said that my electrical issues were on my back porch and had nothing to do with my attic. But they said they still were not going to send anybody out. I had to take time off work, get an electrician to come out, and go upstairs to verify that there weren't any live wires or anything out there that could have shocked their contractor. I had to pay for it. The electrician told 2-10 that there were no live wires out there, as I told them that there weren't. But 2-10 pretty much took their contractor's side all the way around even after I got somebody to come out and look at it. I told them over and over again that there was nothing wrong with the attic, but they didn't believe me.

    2-10 should put a little bit more faith in their customers and also check on a customer's opinion on some of the contractors that they're using. I also had to take three days off work, one for that the contractor's visit and one for the electrician to come out to verify there were no open wires in the attic. I had to spend my own money and waited for three weeks to get it reimbursed. It was ridiculous. I then had to wait for everything to go through before I could call another electrician or called them to file another claim to get an electrician to come out and actually fix what I had wrong. All in all, I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to 2-10. As soon as I get the time, I plan to look for a different company.

    I've been a 2-10 Home Warranty customer since 2014. It was recommended by our realtor when we bought our house. Last summer I submitted two claims to have my air conditioner repaired. In both instances, 2-10 only gave approval for their service provider to put a band aid on it and refused to either repair what was causing the problem or replace the unit. My policy expired in August while my wife was out of work and we were unable to pay the renewal fee. Then in February, when we got our tax return, we paid the entire year's premium in full.

    In mid-April we ran our conditioner for the 1st time this year and it acted up just as it did last summer. I filed another claim and 2-10 sent their service provider to the house again. Once again I paid the $75 service fee and once again the service provider recommended to either fix what was causing the problem or, since the unit is so old, to have it replaced. Instead of sympathizing with our problem, 2-10 instead claimed that since there was a lapse in coverage from August to February, the issue with my air conditioner was no longer covered since the current condition existed prior to February. This was after they had already serviced the unit twice last year and refused to fix the problem.

    I couldn't believe it. It's not like I was a brand new customer trying to scam the system. I've been a loyal customer for three years and have recommended their coverage to several friends and relatives. I spoke with 4 different reps over the phone and was unable to get anywhere. Their customer service is terrible. As soon as my current policy expires, I will be switching from 2-10 to a different home buyers warranty and will recommend all home owners I know to do the same. You can't treat loyal customers like this and expect to maintain their business.

    We've had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a year. The prior owners had it when we bought the house. Submitting a claim over the phone is very easy and the process goes very smoothly. During a claim, my wife would get a call from the appropriate expertise and they'd schedule an appointment. The service contractors were all excellent. The only one that wasn't was because I'd called somebody but the problem was just a twig in our air conditioning system. The tech and I both had a laugh on that one. They were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I'd recommend 2-10 overall. Right now, I just signed up for another year and I'm planning to continue in years to come unless something happens.

    We have lived in our home for one month -- from March 17, 2017 until today, April 24, 2017. Our home was inspected by a company recommended by our real estate agent at Allen Tate. During the home inspection, I asked how HVAC was working. The inspector said it seemed to be fine, even though this was in February, and he said they could only run the heater this time of the year. If the heat worked, then there was no reason the AC shouldn't work.

    We bought the house with the comfort that the seller offered a home warranty through her real estate agent at Berkshire Hathaway. This company is 2-10 Home Warranty. Two days ago we called a repairman to check the AC because it is not cooling the downstairs, and it's only April -- two months before the heat of summer. He said the unit was worn out and needed to be replaced. It took him no longer than 30 minutes to determine this.

    When we contacted the 2-10 Home Warranty, we were told that this was a pre-existing condition and not covered. I think a reasonable person would believe a home warranty is expected to cover problems like the one we're having with our air conditioner. What other purpose is there to have a home warranty if it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions? I sincerely believe the practices at this company are deceptive and hope other consumers will learn from our heartbreaking experience.

    I am a nurse and work hard for every dollar I earn. I do not sit at a desk; rather I rush from patient to patient giving them medicine and other treatments the doctor orders; I monitor their physical status and do everything in my power to keep them safe and alive. I apply compresses and bandages to hurts and wounds; I listen to their stories of suffering. When I am paid, I know I worked for this money. Companies such as 210 Home Warranty do not work for their money. The get it by deceiving consumers like me -- people who labor to pay for their children's food, clothing, and education -- and don't have the greedy mentality as the persons who run bunco corporations like 210 Home Warranty.

On Friday, April 21st (5:38pm)... contractor and I speak on when he could come to my home Saturday morning to address. On Saturday, April 22nd ... contractor shows up, inspects the issue, placing a temporary bandage to the issue... then takes my check... advises me that he would send in diagnostics to 2-10. On Monday, April 24th (8:08am)... I contact contractor for update... He's waiting on 2-10 to give him authorization. (Meanwhile the hot water heater is leaking worse and water is now entering my home.)

    On Monday, April 24th (11:02am)... I phone contractor once more. He waiting on 2-10 to give him authorization. At this time, I advise contractor that I am beginning to see water damage. Contractor responds in saying, "Once the job is complete... and leaking is no more... the sheetrock will dry," and I won't have to worry. On Monday, April 24th (4:50pm)... continued with my attempts and called Contractor, left message according to initial instructions from 2-10 post me filing the claim.

    On Monday, April 24th (5:29pm)... I phone the contractor for the last time today and the contractor states, that he assumes that 2-10 will have the matter resolved by morning... In saying, he assured me that he would be at my home by noon on Tuesday, April 25th. It is now Tuesday, April 25th (9:00am)... I receives a call from the warranty company stating that they spoke to the contractor and repairs should be completed this week. (While more water is entering my home from the failing water heater)... So I respond with saying that this was NOT okay. As the contractor was leaning to repairing the issue by noon today.

    Then when I mentioned the water damage, the representative responds in saying that the water damage is consequential damage and they're not held liable. I respond with saying, "Ma'am... I've been a customer now for 12 or more years... I paid into this warranty when my home didn't need the extra coverage. I paid into your company when you offered weekend courtesy. I paid into your company so much, that I should have equity built into my account." Then I proceeded to speak to the statement of, "I paid into you when I didn't need you; now I need you and you denied me." The representative then says she would refer my claim to her manager, but that was all she could do.

    Tuesday, April 25th (9:31am)... I call contractor three times for clarity of install of new heater... No answer. Tuesday, April 25th (9:33am)... 2-10 phones me back to say the authorization to repair was approved. I mentioned to this representative that... I have that information. However, I can NOT wait for the repairs later this week. As my home was being invaded with water from the failing hot water heater.

    Tuesday, April 25th (10:05am)... 2-10 responds in calling me back to say the contractor was suppose to order the hot water heater on the 2-10 portal and upon receiving the replacement... then would be able to install... I respond in saying, there has to be a more streamline process to resolution here as my home is continuing to being invaded with more water from the failing unit. The representative advises that I should contact the contractor to see if he could run by and remedy or I could shut off the cause. I say, "Ma'am... I filed a claim with your company... Your company sent the contractor to my home. Now you're telling me that the water damage is on me." She said, "Yes sir. We don't cover consequential damages." "Now ma'am you're telling me that I need to go buy a tool to shut off the water to my home." She responds in saying, "Sir... you don't have to yell, and yes."

    I said... "I've been paying into this company for 12 or more years and this is the best I can get from your company." She responds in saying, "Sir... I am going above my job to call purchasing to see if this can get pushed through today... THIS IS NOT MY JOB TO CALL PURCHASING FOR YOU." (However, this company pays her to service its customers), "Okay," I say... so I'm placed on hold... only for her to come back to support that the issue of ordering is on the contractor's end. However, purchasing will see if they can arrange for the contractor to go pick up an unit. Tuesday, April 25th (10:28am)... I wait for the verdict while feeling like I'm consumed of my monthly dues without the support from a reputable company. Thanks 2-10.

    BEWARE! 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was purchased for me as part of the purchase of my new home. On March 30, 2017, I contacted 2-10 regarding an issue with my refrigerator not cooling and the water pressure in the home being low. 2-10 sent a repairman out for the refrigerator. When he arrived, he stated spent 5 minutes looking at the refrigerator and said he could not fix it and he left. A second repair technician was sent out on 04/11/17. He ordered the parts and said I would receive a call by the end of the week. I had to call him and 2-10, only to be told that the parts had not yet come in. As of today, 04/24/17, my refrigerator is still not working. I have not received a call from the 2-10 nor the technician.

    In regard to the water pressure issue, approximately two weeks ago, the pressure relief valve was changed. The plumber was very helpful and changed the valve pretty quickly. In the process, he cut two 12x12 holes in my wall to access the pipes. He stated 2-10 would repair the holes. After 4 days, I phoned 2-10, only to be told they do not have any "good" contractors who fix drywall. They would send me a check for $75 per hole. As of today, the two holes remain in the wall. This is the worst home warranty company around. When the contract expires, I will definitely not be renewing and would not recommend this company to anyone. BEWARE!

    When we built the home, 2-10 was a recommendation from the builder, Schumacher Homes. I had two claims and both were serviced. The first claim had to do with the heating and cooling system, and it was taken care of fairly quickly. However, the latest one with the refrigerator which involved an icemaker, etc. took them over a week to get somebody out here. It was a Thursday or a Friday when I called, and then it was Monday the next week before I heard from anybody. Then they scheduled the appointment for Friday. I do live out in the country, in a remote area, but the guy who came was about 15 miles away.

    Another thing was, I did the claim with a phone call but didn’t find an option to speak with somebody. It gave me these choices to push numbers and it got down to the fact that it had to do with refrigerator, but it didn’t specify the problem that it was with the ice maker. So when the technician came out, he didn’t know what the problem exactly was. And had he come 30 or 40 miles and didn’t have the right part, he would have had to go back and come back again. Being more descriptive about the exact problem or to speak to somebody would be my recommendation for 2-10. Other than those, I have had no problem with them. If someone else was building here, I would recommend that they go check 2-10 out.

    We did not personally purchase the policy from 2-10 Home Warranty; it was included as a part of our home purchase. We have dealt with several items, including a hot water heater that did not heat enough water for more than 5 minutes in a shower and a microwave (over the range) that would not heat anything. After two months of astronomical electric bills, we called a contractor. We were told our Heat Pump was broken and due to the age of the unit could not be repaired. We liked and trusted this contractor (he had done great work for us before at a very reasonable rate), but he suggested we might want to at least check our home warranty for coverage since this was a big ticket item.

    Upon calling 2-10 Home Warranty, I was told that "Yes... the HVAC repairs/replacement was covered." I was then told they would search for a network contractor and call me back with that information in a "couple of days". No call. So I called to get the info. They told me they did not have any network providers in the area, so I would need to go through my own contractor, get an estimate, submit it for approval, get the work done and pay out of pocket, then get reimbursed. I was frustrated about the reimbursement policy, as it was not like I was choosing to go with my own contractor, but agreed and had my contractor write up the explanation and submit it. They said, again, they would get right back to me. Again, they did not, and when I called to see what the status of my service request was, I was told that they felt the contractor was too high and they were submitting it to the high claim department.

    Again, they promised to contact me shortly with an update. No callback. When I contacted next, they told me I couldn't use my contractor anymore... they had resurrected a contractor that used to do HVAC service for them and talked them into doing this service call. They had made me an appointment without my approval which I had to change because I was out of town. The contractor couldn't "fit me in" again for over a week. The contractor proceeded to come and give us the same diagnosis and a HIGHER estimate than our own contractor. 2-10 then told me they would only cover the outside unit, and that we would be responsible for replacing the interior unit and all the labor for this part of the process.

    While the interior unit technically wasn't "broken," it would not be possible to replace only the outside unit as the indoor one would not be compatible due to age. This was the FIRST we had heard of this, and in fact they had been clear in the past that they would cover 100% of the repair. Now, they claimed that this coverage would only have been available with an addendum to the policy. Clearly, however, the indoor unit WILL NOT WORK with the replacement of the outdoor one. Additionally, the equipment they would provide at a "reduced rate" was lesser than our original contractor would have provided.

    When I called and asked to speak to a manager regarding my concerns and FRUSTRATION, I was told one was not available and that they would try to make a deal with the contractor to provide the indoor equipment. Honestly, they didn't really clearly explain what the plan to save me money was. At any rate, the contractor did NOT agree to the terms, and my part of the bill will end up being over $2000. We took the day off work to have the contractor come. Upon arrival, the contractor (late - we had to call twice) did not have the right equipment. 2-10 had supplied the WRONG equipment (or was trying to give us something cheaper? I guess I will assume this was an honest mistake at this point). So, now we will have to deal with them AGAIN... not to mention that we took off work for nothing.

    I began this process at the beginning of March. It is now late April - we have been WITHOUT our heat pump (had it shut off due to high bills, running on emergency heat only in interim) during this process to try to minimize the electric bills. 2-10 has not ONCE called when they promised during this process. I feel they were HIGHLY DISHONEST during this process and really only cared about saving themselves money on the claim. They did not provide customer service or actual service in a timely manner considering this affected our ability to heat our home AND our electric bill.

    I can not possibly describe my level of frustration and disappointment regarding my experience with this company. I followed through with every request and changed course every time I was asked during this process. At every step, there was a new excuse or hoop to jump through. Honestly, I wish we had just gone with our own contractor and paid for the entire repair ourselves... it would have been completed a month ago and to our standards. And, I would have avoided dealing with this company and process. I would not recommend 2-10 Home Warranty to anyone and would certainly not purchase/renew it myself.

Called 2-10 and they tell me that the plumbing is not part of the system or component? As far as I know and others I talked to also, consider the PVC plumbing as a component to the filtration system, you can't have a water pump and filtration system for a pool without the PVC plumbing to the pump and filtration system!

Now I'm dealing with a second claim that was denied. My bathtub is leaking and they sent a company out who did not even run the bathtub water. The warranty company originally approved the repair but I think the company (Air Max plumbing) did not like the amount that was given as they originally posted. Told me it was only partially approved and said they would get the whole thing approved by the time the appointment came.

    Then on the day of the appointment I call them to ask and they said the warranty company denied it. I call the warranty company who says they denied it because it was said the bathtub was installed incorrectly. How did I previously take a bath if it was installed incorrectly? And why was it previously partially approved? Does that even make sense? I think Air Max could not get paid what they wanted by the warranty company so they decided to make up something that would get denied. This house warranty is a joke as they find excuse after excuse to not cover anything that goes wrong. Very disappointed customer!

    Updated review: April 17, 2017

    I was contacted today in regards to my review aof 2-10.com and as a result of the aforementioned issue they have Adjusted their policy and will honor my request for a pre-season tune-up.

    Original Review: April 13, 2017

    I am a new homeowner and live in Upstate NY. I contacted them to schedule a pre-season AC tune-up (originally a $40.00 fee added to initial contract) but after spending 43:29 sec on the phone with customer service rep and then supervisor it was disclosed to me that these "tune-ups" can only occur between Feb and Mar. February and March?? When average lows are below 20 degrees F, and snow flying they want to "tune up my AC by washing coils, hosing out leaves and debris, and running my central air?" I am not even kidding... "Well it's in the contract." I think it is just bad faith negotiating and very poor customer service. It was then disclosed that I could ask for a refund of 40.00 (nothing is guaranteed though), schedule a regular visit for the price of $100.00 and it would merely be a functionality test and even then not all work is covered. Ugh! I feel like I just left a car dealer with an extended warranty that warrants nothing.

    Hi Bruce. Thank you for the feedback. You raise some good points about this tune up schedule. Unfortunately this was the time frame we came up with for homeowners to schedule this service. However, I will forward this to my team and see if there is anything else we can do for you.

    When I purchased this home the realtor bought 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for us for the first year as a gift. And we renewed it ever since then. I have difficulty with having to try to submit the claim on the computer before I actually talk to somebody. I don't particularly care for that part but that's part of the deal. However, all of the service contractors have been very good and it appears that we get our money's worth with 2-10. I recommended them to a number of people and they seemed pleased with it also and it's been a good experience.

    This is the worst company I have ever tried to deal with in my life. For starters the form we signed at escrow and sent a check for was not the same contract form that we received later and that they follow. Many more additional exclusions! We called in a claim due to the air conditioning system not blowing any air. That was 4 weeks ago and 2 different contractors to look at the problem. The first contractor was here for 5 minutes then told us to call someone else to get a air balance report. How do you get an air balance report if it doesn't blow any air? The second contractor said the return air duct might be too small and that the 2.5 ton unit was too small and should be a 3.5 ton unit for a 1,500 sf house here in Az. Sounds to me like improper installation on both items so you would think we would be covered.

    Then we never heard anything back from 2-10 Home Warranty. So we have been calling and requesting an answer via email which they said they would do but it's been over a week and we still don't have any email or correspondence from them stating what they are doing about our claim. Finally a supervisor told us our claim was denied and that the contractor wrote up the wrong reasons and they changed it to read "inadequate capacity" which isn't covered per the NEW CONTRACT they sent us in the mail. We are still waiting to receive a response in writing so we can address the issues. It's getting hotter by the day here, over 4 weeks have gone by and no resolution as to what we can do! They are the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life and my family is suffering because of their lack of communication and concern for our problem with our newly purchased house!

It’s 95 degrees outside and I had to send my wife to our relatives for a week. We couldn’t even stay home. If something happens on Friday, it’s hard to get service. Sometimes we didn’t get any help until a week later because nobody calls you until Monday and then they schedule you for Friday. Other than that, it's been fine.

    2-10 was the warranty that was with the previous home owner. I felt it was more convenient at the time of purchase 12 years ago and I haven’t had any problem going forward. I've filed several claims with them and I essentially call it in. You have to be patient in the process but it’s not necessarily with 2-10, rather it's the availability of the contractor. Depending on the time of the year, the length of time someone comes out varies. During the summertime when my AC needed repair, it could be anywhere from a day to four days. But as far as the AC repair, it has been pretty consistent with the use of the same contractor. As long as the company is still a part of the warranty, I’ll go ahead and request their service. Overall, I’ve been pleased with 2-10 and I’ve continued to renew the contract over the years. I’d recommend them.

    2-10 came with the house and we've had it for less than a year. The re-up is coming soon but we're not 100% on that. We had a couple of bad experiences with the home warranty folks so we're still debating. Submitting the claim was tricky. It was on a weekend and the first thing they came up was that it may be anytime between eight and twelve hours before somebody contacts me. Then, the plumbing company wanted me to wait 24 hours before they come out to the house. But my bathroom was about to smell so I called some other professional plumber who came right out and took care of it.

    Then, right after I called the professional plumber, 2-10 called and asked me what the problem was and want me to go through everything again. But I've explained everything sufficiently in the claim so I didn't understand what the problem was. Also, the plumbing company's attitude on the phone wasn't all that great. They need to calm their attitudes. That's a major concern. Other than those, my experience with 2-10 was great.

    In January I requested a plumber for what we thought was a leak in our basement bathroom, sure enough that was what it was. When the plumber opened the wall to fix the pipe he discovered black mold. We had to have the bathroom gutted and then put back together at the tune of over $3500. Here is a few months later and we noticed the paint bubbling up, we believe there is another leak in one of the pipes behind the wall. I went online and put in a service request, several days later I got an email and voicemail stating that they had no one to send and I would have to find someone myself. This is one of the reasons why I have this policy, I don't have the time to call and find someone myself.

    Now as far as I know I have mold growing behind my wall that is going to get worse if the leak is not taken care of. I tried to add a new service request but was given a message that said I already had one open! NOT IF IT ISN'T BEING FIXED!!!! My next step is to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. If it takes too long to get this repaired and I have mold again, I will be forced to take legal action.

So, I called 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty and a man came the next day and said “I don’t know what they put it together with.” But they had to take a hacksaw and saw it apart to get it to part. However, their bill wasn’t reasonable though I didn’t have to pay it. I paid the $100. The man said, “You can thank God you got the warranty.

    I got this home warranty when I purchased my first house. For starters, the companies they send your claims to are GARBAGE. I had multiple companies they routed me to that had an F on the Better Business Bureau, and 1 star on Google/Yelp. When I called to ask for a different company they gave me a really hard time, were rude, and would not send me to a supervisor one of the three times I asked to speak with a supervisor.

    It took over a week to get my dishwasher fixed when it broke last month. Then, this month my AC doesn't work, and they send my service request to a F rated BBB company with nothing but atrocious reviews. I call in, asking for someone else and THEY WON'T CHANGE IT. They said the only option was for me to go outside of their network and pay for my own contractor to come in. I paid for a contractor from RS Andrews to come in, he said my thermostat is broken, I'm low on Freon, I have a leak in the coils, and that my system is a builders grade meant to last 5-7 years and it is 13, and needs to be completely replaced.

    2-10 says they will authorize the freon, but not pay for a replacement. I had three other contractors come and all said it needed to be replaced, and couldn't be repaired. Then, they say in order to authorize replacement THEIR guy needs to come out. They routed me through another service provider (one week later in ATLANTA) and he says it needs to be replaced. This morning they tell me that they spoke to RS Andrews and their provider and they claim it can be REPAIRED instead of replaced.

    I went back and checked the receipt from RS Andrews and nowhere does it mention replacing an Evap coil, and it explicitly states that the unit needs to be replaced due to age and other factors. This company is a rip off. After this experience I would NEVER deal with them again, and my realtor team is so fed up they are no longer going to be selling 2-10 warranties after 5+ years of using them as their preferred warranty provider.

    As any first time home-owners, we bought 2-10 Home warranty and hoped we will not need to use it last year April. But our stainless steel 30 inch microwave stopped heating sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was all solid, would turn on, table moving, but won't warm/heat/cook anything. We called 2-10. They scheduled a contractor ATES Inc. I don't remember exactly when, but sometime in December contractor came, picked up our microwave and asked us to pay service fee which we paid right away. Then we just waited and waited, neither Contractors, nor 2-10 called us back for any follow up. We called the contractor sometime in Jan. After many calls directly to their voicemail, we were able to talk to them and they said soon they'll have resolution. Then again early Feb and then again end of Feb.

    They finally dropped back (supposedly fixed) microwave in March and that too without the turning plate and asked for service fee, which I had to tell, we already paid. The guy dropping the microwave had a file and I saw the receipt of paid service fee in it. Then next week someone from ATES dropped the turning table. When I plugged my microwave to start, the number pad was all loose and microwave won't even turn on. It was worse since it was picked up. Seeing this I called back 2-10. They said, they have the order dispatched to same service, even though I told them how horrible the service of the contractors were. I still waited 36 hours, called back 2-10 and they said they couldn't get hang of the contractors so they sent another dispatch.

    Now I to wait 24-48 hours again while contractors call me back. I asked what if I don't hear back from them by end of business day tomorrow. They said then they'll set up another contractor. I said, "should I call back to you guys if I don't hear from ATES?" and their answer was yes. Seriously I have nothing else in my life than to keep calling 2-10 or this ATES to have my microwave fixed. Someone else can fill in my responsibilities for my full time job, take care of my 6 month old boy, my 3 year old toddler, my house and my life. I made the mistake of getting 2-10 warranty and now I have to pay for my mistake by keep calling them and to get my microwave fixed which seems feels like impossible task.

    Every year their price keep increasing. And I'm not talking about just a few dollars, I'm talking about hundreds of dollars increasing each year. Since 2005 when I had my home prior to this home, I've already been with 2-10 Warranty and I will only be with them until the end of the month. I just sent in a letter with payment and emailed to cancel my membership for the end of the month because that's too much money.

    My AC had just gone out recently and I had an issue with the company that they sent out and I'm not happy with that company. As opposed to the contractor replacing the part, he went ahead and tried to fix the part. I just had surgery, so I'm suffering in this house because I don't have an AC which is crazy. Another tech came out yesterday because it went back out to try and get the part serviced and he even said the same thing, that it should've been replaced. And now, I got the email saying that it may not be till next Wednesday before they can come out and service it. With that being said, I think 2-10 dropped the ball on that one. Moreover, I may not be an expert with AC units, but I do have common sense and I know that if it's the same problem that exists, I don't pay the deductible again.

    The company tried to get me to pay on the deductible again. I told them I'm not gonna do that because this is the same problem and they haven't fixed the problem. I talked to someone at 2-10 and she sent a note over to tell them that I shouldn't be paying the deductible again because I wasn't gonna pay it. Also, I called and I spoke to the lady from 2-10 when the guy that came out to do the unit told me I need to pay $158, but yet he puts on the receipt $100. She was supposed to check back and get back with me. She said if they didn't do what they're supposed to do I could get my refund of $58 back. I told her I had the receipt with me because I told the guy he needed to put something in the remarks about the $58, which he put $58 in the remarks, but he still left the total at $100. That just seemed a little underhanded to me. Something doesn't seem right about that.

    Other than that and the prices that keep going up, I never had a problem with 2-10. Their customer service is outstanding. I'm a little sad that I may be leaving 2-10 Home Warranty because that wasn't the plan and I don't like jumping from place to place. But everything is hard nowadays and everything is high and I don't need to be paying $500 one year, then next year I'm paying $700. That's just crazy.

    We moved into our house on Feb. 27, 2017. Our issue is with a Whirlpool washing machine that was originally installed when the house was built in late 2011. My wife completed a number of wash loads over a three day period without any problems. On the fourth day she used it and after running a number of loads the machine began making a knocking sound and she noticed a small pool of water on the floor. We contacted 2-10 and they sent out a repairman two days later. The repairman said the bearings were going out on the washer and that it appeared to have a small leak somewhere. He was unable to get it to leak again after running 3 cycles. He said the knocking came from one of the shock absorbers letting loose. He said machine was repairable and would submit request to 2-10.

    A few days later the 2-10 representative called to say that the repair would not be covered since it was determined to be a preexisting condition and referred me to section 3 of the contract. Section 3 states that “covered items are to be in place and in good and safe working order at the beginning of the Service Agreement. Coverage will apply to an existing defect or mechanical failure provided the defect or mechanical failure could not have been detected by a visual inspection and a simple mechanical test. A covered item passes a visual inspection if the item is intact and without damage or missing parts that make the item inoperable. A system or appliance is in good and safe working order if the item functions normally without irregularity, smoke or other adverse outcome when operated.”

    I told him that the washer looks brand new and that my wife had used the washer without any problems over a 3-day period. He said there was nothing he could do. I asked for his supervisor and got the same response from him. I then asked for a manager and after much resistance finally talked to the supposed manager. Had to go through the facts again for the third time. She said I should have had the washer and dryer inspected by the home inspector. I told her that 2-10 is well aware of the fact that washer and dryers are outside the scope of a normal home inspection.

    Also the exception does not appear to say that any inspection has to be done only that if an inspection HAD been done that it would not have detected any visual or mechanical issues. The fact that the machine looks like a new machine and that my wife used it over a period of three days cleared proves that no visual or simple mechanical test would have disclosed any problems initially. The manager at this point got upset and stated there was no way that they were going to cover a machine with a preexisting condition and basically refused to discuss further. I told her I intended to file complaints with any applicable agencies and she said do what you have to do and hung up on me.

    It appears that this company mainly tries to only get the initial premium without any regard to working with customers to develop a long term relationship. The paragraph 3 mentioned above when interpreted as they do gives them an "escape clause" to not cover almost any appliance or item. I am truly disappointed in the service I have received. We had even upgraded our service to Supreme for an additional premium of $100 after reviewing the various coverage. I now feel like not only were we scammed out of the original $465 but also an additional $100. I hope 2-10 will read this and do the morally right thing. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran and now a senior citizen. I hate to think that I have to go to such an extent with a large company to get what we paid for and should have had coverage without any problems.

    We have had a 2-10 warranty for 4 years. At first, we were very satisfied, but in the last 6 weeks have had such poor service that we are cancelling our warranty. In mid-February, we made a claim on our refrigerator. The ice maker had dumped large amounts of water into the freezer, which had run into our basement. Shut off the water and called 2-10. Repairman showed up on 2/20, replaced compressor, could not get ice maker to work. He returned the next day with new ice maker and installed. No ice. He called next day to say he may have forgotten to turn water back on. I turned on water, noticed pipe was wet, but think much of it. Still no ice. I called repairman back. (It took several times to get an answer, tried leaving messages.) Reported problems, said the water line would need to be seen by a plumber.

    Made another claim through 2-10 for plumber, another $75 service charge, nut needed tightened. Several more calls before I could finally reach someone, said water line was fixed, still no ice. Made appt for repair. No show, no call. In the meantime, I am having some electrical issues. I have a circuit that keeps cutting in and out, not tripping the breaker. Make request through 2-10. On March 10, an electrician shows up to work on the circuit. He replaces a couple of outlets, the electricity is currently on, he leaves. The circuit soon goes out (again, not tripping breaker) and stays out. I am without electricity in 3 of my 4 bedrooms and part of my sewing room. Call him back. He can't take care of it today, he'll get back. I understand, it's Friday, we can wait until Monday. More phone calls, no response.

    2 days ago I finally call back 2-10 and complain. They will take care of it right away, yadda, yadda. Electrician set to show up 2/29. No show. Refrigerator repairman set to show up 3/30. No show. Yesterday I call 2-10 back and tell them what is going on and that I need them to send someone else -- someone who will actually show up -- to fix these issues. Can't do that. It has to be the original contractors OR I will have to pay 2 new service charges. Asked to speak to a supervisor. Same thing, only with snippy attitude. It must be the original contractors, who refuse to show up. So, I have been without an icemaker for 38 days, and without electricity in my bedrooms now for 3 weeks. DO NOT USE THIS WARRANTY COMPANY. Poor customer service, no oversight of subcontractors.

    I have been a loyal 2-10 customer since 2013 and have purchased many of the extended coverage services. Last year we had a claim for our water heater and I have not been happy at all with the outcome. 2-10 would not replace the water heater with the same capacity of the unit that went out. They put an "attached" tank on top as if that would get us to the same capacity we had, which it did not. They said that was the best they could do or we could pay the difference for a second water heater. I assume some fine print somewhere allows them to take this position. Prior to this claim, we had a few others during our time with 2-10. Most problems were resolved, but not without many phone calls and at times "parts not covered".

    So here we are in March of 2017. I realize that I should have received a notice from 2-10 to purchase my warranty for the next year as it expired in February. I call 2-10 to inquire about my renewal and I am told they will not be renewing our warranty. The representative said to email a specific manager to review the account and I would get a response within 24 hours. I did not get a response in 24 hours. I called again yesterday (4 days later) and today I finally received a response back stating they will not be able to renew our warranty service and simply referenced the "section" of the agreement that gives them the right not to renew our warranty. So, on top of the issues we have had, they are not going to allow us to renew our warranty and do not even have the common courtesy to send us a notice before our current warranty expires. They simply let it expire and left it up to us to find out on our own.

    Absolutely horrible way to treat a customer! No specific explanation as to why we cannot renew with them either. So let me take a stab at why... they spent more money on my water heater repair than they collected from me. I will be sharing my experience on every social media platform and telling as many people that I know to avoid 2-10.

    Hi Jennifer. As we have already sent this to you on Facebook on the 28th of March, we will respond on consumer affairs with the same explanation we sent you then. Your water heater was an 80 gallon water heater. The Department of Energy made changes to the efficiency of the water heaters and have classified anything above 65 gallons to be commercial and must add heat pumps and/or gas condensing technology to them. Many residential homes are not affected by this change. However, because your unit was 80 gallons, your unit needed to undergo changes to include heat pump technology. Based on our service agreement, we do not pay to upgrade your unit, therefore we offered you what was comparable to what you had in the home. Your 80 gallon water heater is equal to 2- 40 gallon water heaters. We understand it was not ideal for your situation and when that occurs but we do try to offer as many options as we can.

    In regard to your renewal offer, there are occasions when our system automatically places a customer on a do not renew status. It is not bias and there is specific criteria that it must meet before it happens. It is unfortunate that this happened and that no one called or sent you a notice. We will pass your feedback on to the appropriate individuals that oversee this area of the business. We as a company have elected to stand by the systems decision. We sincerely appreciate you reaching out to us, because without your feedback, we never would have known that this was an issue.

    We hope that everything is little more clear for you now with this explanation. We are so sorry for the trouble the water heater has caused and the fact that we will not renew with you. We wish you the best Jennifer.

    We closed on our home on 3.13.2017. On 3.20.2017 the finished basement flooded with water coming up from the ground. I assumed customer care that it was an issue with the sump pump and was told that it would not be covered. On 3.25.2017 I called out of curiosity to verify what my coverage did include when I was told it was to include my sump pump. Created a service request and on 3.29.2017 a contractor came to evaluate the situation. My sump pump was buried outside in the dirt underground. I was told it was need to be dug up, and relocated including jackhammering part of the unfinished side of my basement and that it would all be included in my warranty. Today, 03.30.2017 I get a call stating it's my responsibility to dig up the old pump and that 2-10 was only going to cover up to $500 for the relocation. The job will cost nearly 5k.

    Please tell me how this is supposed to protect the home buyer. Before being questioned, yes we paid for an inspection, no it didn't come up as an issue. And to top it all off I've spoke to about 8 reps with 2-10 and they all tell me different answers, and all but two were either rude or hung up on me. The last rep was wonderful but had to play back and forth because the manager I requested considering all the confusion "refused to take my call." Ridiculous. We didn't choose this company and will highly attempt to divert anyone looking for a home warranty to steer clear of them. Dissatisfied is an understatement and my attorney will handle it from here.

    When we bought the house, our agent recommended 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. We’ve submitted a claim twice and so far, my interactions with their contractors were okay. We paid the approved vendor $100 deductible and then they submitted to 2-10 for final payment on whatever else the balance was. However, we’ve had problems calling the line 2-10 set up. Also, I wish they would give me a choice of vendors because, they just told me a company will be calling me to set it up, but I don’t know if these guys are any good or not. I have to take the assumption that they have been properly vetted.

    As a whole, I am completely disappointed with it. The homeowner warranty has been a complete waste of money. We paid $500 for the home warranty to begin with, a $100 deductible and they covered nothing basically. Most recently, we had our garbage disposal go out. We had to pay $100 deductible. They would only provide you a builder grade version of a garbage disposal, which was poorly rated. So we went with an upgraded one. We only got reimbursed $92 for a garbage disposal. I would have been better off calling the guy directly and not even have gone through the warranty.

    The vendor that came for the furnace was very good. I liked him. He was very nice and he knew what he was doing. He came in, checked it all and he personally showed me what it is, how they're gonna fix it, and what to look for if the situation repeats itself. That was good and he didn’t tell me I need to have extra work. So I’m happy with that. But sometimes contractors come in here and they see that I need this and that.

    When the plumber, I was not that crazy about that because they said something was not installed properly and there is an issue and if I want to correct it, he’s gonna give me a price. I know this is a come-on for doing unnecessary work and I really hate it when they do that. I had two inspections on the property and no one said there was an issue with the plumbing. So, I called the previous owner and he said that everything was fine. He told me what needs to be done in order to correct the issue. So I tried doing it myself. It was hard because I didn’t have the tools.

    And when the guy came back, I told him about my inspection plus what the previous owner told me. Reluctantly, he did the minor repairs but if anything happens again in plumbing, although everything is in great order, if I have to call and I see these people’s names I would not use them again. So I was very upset with him because they’re trying to rip me off. Other than that, 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty is great. It was not their fault that this contractor decided to try to pull the wool over my eyes. A lot of people say, “Well, the insurance is gonna pay for it.” That annoys me because the insurance and the owner should not have to get ripped off.

    Horrible service. I had a claim back in 2016 when I had bought my first house. I lived in my house for 4 months when I had a sewage problem starting in my 2 bathrooms coming up through the toilet and the showers. I did read the policy and the policy does cover polybutylene, the damage happened underneath my house and continued out into my front yard. 2-10 said I needed to contact home insurance and I did and told me the warranty should cover it. 2-10 didn't cover it and said it is not on the policy and I need to read it again. And to top it off 2-10 didn't have record of me having a warranty, which wasn't all of their fault, part of it was the realtor.

    This all happened over 4th of July weekend. I went without any water for a total of 5 days. The plumber was the only nice person throughout the process. It took almost 2 weeks for me to get my home warranty because of the mix-up. By that time I had paid Mr. Rooter plumbing $2,000 bill for everything to get fixed. I was really upset because they weren't going to cover it and I had to pay for it all.

    Rebecca called to renew my policy and I told her why I am not and cut me off and went on about the policy and that I didn't read it. I've seen her name on here already for review, and I agree she is horrible and rude like others have said. I will not renew the warranty and do not want to talk to anyone else from there. I am in service as well and she was not professional. Obviously I would not recommend 2-10 to warranty my house ever again. They couldn't warranty a flood in the ocean.

    Hi Jesse. Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback here and on Yelp. From our perspective, this is how your situation played out. You had a claim that was an emergency. It appears at the time the service agreement was not in an active status because we had not received payment. Due to this, you had to have the work completed out of network.

    We reviewed the claim in July and tried to find coverage, even though the work was completed with no prior approval. However, the issue was a sewage line failure outside the foundation. We do not cover claims outside the foundation of the home so we were unable to find coverage.

    As for Rebecca, your issue with her is being investigated by management. Though we do not see what review you are talking about where she was complained about by another customer, please rest assured that we will make sure your experience with her is addressed.

    As for your metaphor "They couldn't warranty a flood in the ocean" we do not agree with this statement. With your situation, we tried our best to find coverage for you but unfortunately your situation was not covered.

    If you have any other questions, please reach out. We would be more than willing to discuss this with you over a phone call.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty's local representative sold me on their service. I have had them for about 4 years now and submitting a claim with them has been pretty good and usually easy. I have submitted most claims online and they have been fairly responsive. The vendor would call me to follow up and then come out in due time.

    The service contractor who is an appliance repair person has probably been out on about three-fourths of the calls to my house. He is very confident, but he would be more confident if he spoke English. He speaks a foreign language and there have been a couple of instances where he has not gotten the full understanding of what I was trying to describe, and it has required multiple visits. Once he understands the problem, he fixes it, but getting that understanding across easily is not done. And that is the biggest problem which I have told 2-10's local rep about.

    Unfortunately, over the three to four years that we have negotiated, he did not learn to speak English much better. And it is very frustrating to me because despite the fact that I requested on several occasions to not send him, he is the only appliance repair person they will send to my house. I understand it is difficult to find local contractors but they need to work a better translation system for him. The one time he has not been there on an appliance repair was on the third occasion regarding my dishwasher. They finally sent another party and he determined that the dishwasher wasn’t fixable, and I got a new one, which is great.

    Nevertheless, I love 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. They have saved me a lot of money over the years that I have them. I plan on keeping them as a permanent fixture of my budgetary process. The only thing I wish is a little faster response time. Typically, I would wait three to four days for a response. A month or two ago, my refrigerator stopped working and I called on Friday about 3:00 in the afternoon. The vendor called me about 4:00 that afternoon but couldn’t get out to see me until Tuesday. It took him about 7 and a half minutes to replace the part that had gone bad, but I've lost $50 to $100’s worth of food.

    A little bit more responsiveness might have saved me some money. I understand Friday afternoon is probably the worst, but I asked for an emergency call-out and I got Tuesday. But they are still better than the other vendors I have dealt with. 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty does a lot of things very well. And I probably sell 30 to 40 of their warranties each year as I am a realtor.

    We've had 2-10 since 2010. Setting up a claim is very frustrating because I can't select my own provider anymore. Before, I used to be able to call the provider that I knew that was with 2-10. And now, they assign it randomly to somebody and I don't like that at all because where I live, the phone exchange is 636, which is Jefferson County in Missouri, and Jefferson County is huge. It covers places that are two hours away from here. And so, there's been a couple of times when a provider was assigned to me who came from a very long distance. This one plumber called me and told me my place is too far and that he couldn't make money coming here. He said it's big a waste of time. So now I don't even do the claim online anymore, I make sure that I call. Or, the last time I did it I put in the notes, "Make sure you have someone who comes to my ZIP code" and that's gotten better since I started doing that, at least.

    Then when I had my refrigerator problem several years ago, it took me over 36 hours of my life to get that refrigerator fixed, waiting for people and for parts. Four different providers came out here. It was ridiculous. The price keeps going up, too. But other than that I like 2-10 because we had an issue with our air conditioner and if we didn't have them, then we would have paid for a whole new air conditioner. When the guy told them what the problem was, they would only pay for that part that was broken versus getting a whole new air conditioning, and I wouldn't have been able to do that. So that saved us money right there. The cost of what he did was $1,600 and we didn't get charged that, but if we didn't have 2-10 it would have cost us $4,000 for a whole new unit.

    Greetings Paula. We appreciate your feedback. We wanted to address your issue of not being allowed to select a contractor of your choosing. We try to allow our system to do the selection of the service contractors because they tell us the zip codes they service. Also, allowing the system to select ensures the contractor has the bandwidth to take the claim. If we allow everyone to select their own contractor we could book them up without knowing and cause a bad experience or ripple in other claims. We really appreciate your feedback though because we will look into the service contractors that directly work within your county. This can be valuable information to us as we may need to hire more service providers that can service the homes in your area.

After the contractor came and checked out the unit, 2-10 called and said the rust was there before and they couldn't cover it. (We had a home inspection and there was nothing wrong with microwave.) OK that is fine. I will take care of the rust myself just replace the motor. Now it is March 19th and after multiple calls to 2-10 and the contractor the microwave is still not fixed, yet on their website the claim says job is complete.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was one of the options presented to us when we originally bought the house and we went with them. Submitting claims is pretty easy. We go online, fill out a little form and they take it from there. They always call us and that's usually the next day. There have been times where it's taken a while to get something fixed. It can take a little bit longer for the guys to come out and that's usually a scheduling thing. We had a hot water heater go out on us. It was a couple of days before the guy could come out, look at it, see exactly what needed to be done and get the hot water heater in. That was about a week-long process from the time it died until the time we got a new one. But it's what happens when you deal with a warranty. Also, we never had a problem with any of the folks that they send out. They've been really good.

Both times the company THEY CALLED said we needed our system replaced. They refused to replace the system and told them "to fix it." Each time we called was costing us a $75 service call.

    Our renewal just came up. A lady named Rebecca tried to renew our policy. I called her back, she went over the options and when she was done she asked what we were wanting to do. I told her that honestly we weren't planning on renewing because we thought the policy was a joke... This lady wouldn't let me finish, was so rude with her response, yelled at me with "I assure you it's not a joke and I didn't not need to be yelled at today" (if I was yelling at her she wouldn't have known) and before anything else was said she hung up the phone.

    I bought this warranty when we purchased our home and have been very disappointed. We paid for extended warranty to cover our pool, but when it came time to use it, they did not have anyone to service pool. Don't offer it, if you don't have anyone to service it. It was a headache all the way around. We had our dishwasher go out several months ago and the service contractor they kept sending (he came out 6 times) could not figure out what was wrong with it. Called and explained it was time to just replace it after spending several hundred replacing parts. Hmmm surprise no one could make that decision. I could have saved them a lot of money if they had listened to me several hundred back. They would not authorize it. Had to fight to get someone new to look at dishwasher.

    Finally got someone to say yes it needed to be replaced. Ok fine, happy with that, when I called to tell them to go ahead and order dishwasher they said "ok it will be 7 to 10 days to get it and then you will have to call us to get someone out to install". Received a voice message they want same company to install dishwasher that could not figure out what was wrong with it. No, not happy that they want to send someone who did not know what they were doing the 6 times previously. Why would I want them to install it? After countless call and headaches, not to mention when I call -- the customer service agents are extremely rude and not sympathetic to your situation. I literally just got off the phone with one that was yelling at me. They desperately need some training on customer satisfaction. After several months and dealing with same contractor now they want to send same one to replace dishwasher?

    Do they really think that would make me happy. I thought the whole purpose of having a warranty was so you would not have to deal with all the headaches. I have spent a lot of time and countless calls trying to fix all the issues... I needed them to deal with. I do not like writing bad reviews and very rarely if ever have. This is extremely upsetting. If I had received good customer service I would have renewed warranty. I'm sure if the CEO knew of the way the company was being handled he would not be happy. Just go back and listen to all the phone calls we have had and verify this story.

    To be a first time home buyer I have had the worst experience with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty this month of March. I call to report low hot water pressure throughout my home.That was the ONLY problem that I had. I Call 2-10. They sent a plumber from Miller and Sons, came out, he change few things on the hot water heater that did not solve the problem and I had to pay $75.00. I don't think I should have had to since the problem wasn't resolved so he gave up after his services. It made my bathroom sink LEAKED, so he suggested a second opinion.

    They sent B & B plumbing. He came and change my pan and found out the hot water heater had busted. They changed that out and put in another new one, had to pay $125.00 for something they did not cover. He could not fix the problem neither. I still had low hot water pressure after his service. It cause me not to have any hot water in my half bathroom. NONE!!! I called 2-10 back to ask if they could fix two problems that had happen during the 2 plumbers. They wanted me to pay another $75 and on top of that I purchase my own faucet and they still wanted me to pay. This the worst I have experience.

    I've been with 2-10 Home Buyers for years, but I quit. When I had it, I just bought the house and didn't really need the warranty. I didn't know that when you buy a house, they sell everything. I've been short of money too so I said that I'll just save a little bit. But since I've had them, they've been giving me good service. So, I decided to take them back last year other than to go looking for other company. The claims process was always great. When I call, they listen and answer right there to address the problem. They right away name the technician or when they're supposed to come, they call right away.

    I called two times for my air conditioning. They fixed it before but that was for the cold season. But in the hot season, I called them, then somebody came and checked that the thermostat needed to be changed. They said it was going to be a few days as they got to order the part. As soon as they got it, they came and put it. 2-10 Home Buyers is a good company.

    Our heater went out in the middle of winter on a Saturday night. We spent one night freezing and called to get it fixed through 2-10. Their service person wouldn't come out until the following Friday to fix it. We called and got authorization to get it fixed out of contract because of this. The bill was $388 to get fixed and all we got back from 2-10 was a check for $80. I'm going through chemotherapy right now and there is no way I could live in a house that cold for nearly a week. We needed it fixed ASAP. What good does a warranty do you when they take so long to fix it with their people and when you go out of contract they barely pay anything for it. Same thing happened with our air conditioner in the summer. We had to wait nearly a week to get it fixed. We are NOT renewing our contract with them again.

    I've had another service before 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, which I hated. It was just terrible. I had two houses covered under it and they were extremely hard to deal with at times. Also, I did not like the service people at all for the most part. They'd tell me they'd come between 8 o'clock and 5 o'clock and the guy would turn up at 7 o'clock that night and then not take care of the problem. I've had that happen twice so I was not a happy camper. Then, I learned about 2-10 through my realtor and this is my second year with it.

    I haven't had any major problems. The last time I used it, there wasn't anything wrong with my appliance when the guy came and it was like taking the baby to the doctor, then the cough quit. But so far, I've liked the service people better and this one has been much easier to deal with. I've noticed that these people come from obscure places, but maybe they need the business and maybe they're willing to please better. I'm not hard to get along with, I'm not one of those picky people and I understand the service end of business. So far, it's been a pleasant experience with 2-10.

    Submitting claims with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty wasn't really difficult. They have to be informed on what the situation is and based on that, they get the information and they'll let you know that they will have the service contractor call you from your area. The first time I called was for my sink. Water was leaking in the bottom of the sink in my kitchen and water in the pipe system went to my basement. The guy came out and he had to look at two different areas so he wanted me to pay for two different visits for $75 each, which would be $150. First of all, the 2-10 person had told me that they would lump it as one and he didn't even do much because all he did was change the elbow of the piping under the sink and that's it. It became an issue and then after they called back, they have to classify it as two separate orders.

    The last contractor that came to my house was for the heating system. I thought the machine wasn't working because when I got back home from a Christmas holiday trip, the machine had stopped and the whole house was cold. I called in and they said they would send someone. The guy came, he looked around and asked me what was wrong. He went downstairs, checked everything and he said that it was functional and that nothing was wrong with the system. Then, he came upstairs and looked at the thermostat and the problem was that the battery was dead in that. He asked for batteries, I gave him the batteries and all he did was go and change them. I paid $75 for him to come to the house and change some batteries. He even added that he provided the batteries, which was an error.

    I don't think it was valid and I wasn't happy about paying $75 when I provided the product and I could have done it myself. I called them and told them about the situation. I should either be reimbursed a percentage of that because he didn't do anything in my house and the service didn't merit $75 but they said that he came out and did the service. I called back and the lady patched me through the claim section but I didn't get to speak with the person because I was put on hold, then the call dropped, and I never called back. Even to this day, I still feel that I should be reimbursed for the batteries, at least.

    I'm definitely debating right now on changing or canceling out 2-10 because I've been paying it for three years now and I don't really use it. But when I used it, it's as if I'm paying $65 every month unnecessarily. It's an insurance just in case something happens and I understand that but if this is the service that I'm gonna get, then it's not worth it. Also, it's a little expensive based on the fact that you have to pay double. You buy into the service on a regular monthly payment and then you still have to pay for the service. I don't understand the whole concept and it's a little bit over the top. But I understand services and companies have their different situations. I'm not 100% happy with it but for now, it's something I have to go with.

    Greetings Francisca. Thank you for relaying your experiences with us. We do not want to see you go. A Home Warranty Service Agreement is somewhat equivalent to your car and health insurance for the systems in your home. In addition to paying a monthly premium, there is a deductible due, referred to as a Service Fee. (With a Home Warranty Service Agreement you do have the option to pay your premium in full versus monthly.)

    Our average customer places one and a half service requests a year, saving them a lot of money. We caution that without a home warranty, you risk having to cover systems in your home when they break down completely out of pocket. This could ultimately result in a very high cost without the warranty.

    We will review your service requests as we appreciate the feedback. Thank you for your review and we hope you choose to stay.

After the first diagnosis 2-10 says the dryer still heats and tumbles and therefore it is not broken. The second service provider who was suppose to come out for a second opinion gave me a window from 12-4 pm and never shows up! Back to zero for me. Please explain to me how a dryer that destroys clothes is not broken? This is ridiculous. Wasted so much time with this - if you are considering 2-10 - go with somebody else.

    A friend referred 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to me and I've had them for six years now. Submitting a claim has been an easy process. However, I've experienced that the companies that they send here to do the work were not the best that I would have chosen. Also, the deductible is starting to go up every year. One time, I had an issue with the technicians who came to fix my washing machine. They worked on it three or four times, but couldn't get it right. Then, they said it couldn't be repaired, but 2-10 couldn't match the value of the front load washing machine that I had. So they sent me a check. Although there was one time I had some plumbing work done and the plumber was really good. Another time, an electrician had to come because something went out in my ceiling fan and the guy did a good job. Despite the incident with the company they used to work on my washing machine, I would recommend 2-10 to a friend.

    It wasn't hard to submit a claim to 2-10. However, I was given incorrect information when I called and that just snowballed into a lot of unpleasant experience. I called before the 30 days to add the pre-season tune-up and also the cheaper service charge. They told me that I already included that in the plan when I was having some issues with my heater. I was thinking maybe the heater just needed to be serviced because no one was living at home.

    When I went online to submit the claim, there wasn't an option for the pre-season tune-up so I proceeded to tell what was going on. It was making a lot of noise and wasn't heating like it should. When I actually got a call back, the repairman came out and I asked about the pre-season tune-up. I was told that it wasn't part of the coverage and if I wanted it, they can add it on for the $40 but it will be an additional $75 service fee for them to come back out.

    The rep that I talked to said they go through training and no one would have told me that the pre-season tune-up is included in my plan. I know that for sure someone called and told me that information, and I wouldn't make this up. I told the rep that I could give her a screenshot of the incoming call on my cellphone and the time that we were on the phone. She just said that they will research it and try to figure out who it was but that's all the information they needed from me at the time. I felt like I needed to defend myself and nothing was really done as far as customer service because I ended up getting the service added on but I paid for it. However, as far as the claim when getting the heater fixed, that went well.

    When we bought our home, 2-10 was the warranty that the builder established. Something came out in the first year and the warranty worked well. We just figured if that was what the builder chose and it went that smoothly we’ll just keep using it. I usually file a claim over the phone. The recording gives the option online, but it’s easier for me to explain with a person. In that part, it is good. The only issue I had was when I could not pull up the work order request on my email when they sent the confirmation in. So I called and asked them to send it again, but they couldn’t resend the message. I didn’t understand that. When I called back, the other person was able to pull it up, so I could write everything down. But everything else has been pretty good. We've utilized 2-10 a little bit over the years and it's been a good experience. I’ve recommended it to four of my co-workers.

    In summary, my experience with 2-10 was terrible. I wasted a lot of money on this company. I was paying for a year and a half for home insurance so when I have problems, they cover fixing it. When I had my first problem in my air-condition unit, they did not fix it and they were not willing to fix it. My air conditioner broke down, I called 2-10 and they sent out a contractor who did not focus on solving the problem, instead, he focused on selling me a unit outside the insurance coverage and convincing me to not file a claim and buy a unit directly from him. Of course, so he can make more money. I have this well documented. When I asked 2-10 if the contractor is allowed to do that, they said yes, it's allowed. Of course, it's not allowed! I am not calling to have somebody give me quotes that are double the standard price! I am calling to have my problem fixed.

    The contractor reported to 2-10 that my unit is lacking maintenance. I did the maintenance and called 2-10 to proceed with my claim, they sent the same contractor, and of course, the same story. 2-10 called and told me that I need to send them the maintenance receipt so they can proceed with the claim, so I did. They call me again to send me another contractor to diagnose the problem. After having 2 diagnosis report. And every time, charging me 75$. I wasted around 400$ on doing the maintenance and paying service fee without any results!

    On top of that, every time I call, a different person take the call. I had to repeat my story more than 5 times. Rather than talking to one person who understands what's going on, every time I had to explain the same story to Jared, Wilson, Kathy, Andi, etc.. Besides the money that I wasted, I wasted a lot of my time waiting for the contractor, on hold on the phone, and a lot of time explaining my case repeatedly to Jared, Wilson, Kathy, Andi, etc.. I had the feeling that this company is a scam. My opinion, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Steer clear of this money pit!! I had a plumbing issue where none of my toilets would flush on a home I purchased 2 weeks ago. First instinct was to make a call into our 2-10 warranty. (Which was about $600 for the 'supreme' coverage). So, right after spending the $600 to purchase the warranty, I had to pay $100 for the service call. Not a big deal at first, until the plumber gets here and says he doesn't see anything and needs to use a video scope. $300, and guess what 2-10 doesn't cover the video scope. Well how in the world else would you identify the cause of the plumbing problem without the video inside the pipe?!?

    Due to the fact that my toilets wouldn't flush, showers and sinks wouldn't drain, etc- I paid for the $300 video fee because what other option did I have? Video uncovers the problem is about 5 feet outside the house in the pipe. Guess what? 2-10 doesn't cover anything outside the house. So, tell me again, what was the point of purchasing this so called 'warranty' to begin with?? All it did was cost me more money, and let them choose the plumber for me on their time. The original problem happened around 8:00pm on a Wednesday, and no one was here for an 'emergency' until around 1:00pm on Thursday because they "couldn't find anyone yet." Craziest part is, I've spent $1,000 with these crazy people over the last few weeks, and my problem isn't even fixed!

Also, they're friendly whenever I speak to them.

    We had some plumbing done by them and they were excellent. However, we had one contractor and the girls in their office were really rude. I told them "Nope. I don't want you in my house". So I asked if we could get a different company. That's how we got the good plumbers. Also recently, we had a big water leak and we didn't know if it was inside or outside. It turned out that the leak was inside the house. They worked with us on that and gave us a check to help cover it. I'm confident about the work they did.

    I had a gas leak in my basement coming from my hot water heater. I called the Gas Company and they sent a representative out to inspect and then fix the leak. 2-10 will not cover the repair cost since it was not authorized before the repair occurred. EVEN though it is a gas leak and my gas provider was not going to leave my house before fixing. How long was I supposed to wait for them to authorize the work or not? The gas repairman was at my house and he was going to fix it regardless.

    There is absolutely no wiggle room with 2-10 even though that type of repair is covered. They want the option of choosing their own contractor even in the face of an emergency. Both times I called them I was stonewalled by the customer service agent and was denied both times to speak to a supervisor/manager. The only reason I still have the service is because it was paid for by the seller of the house. I would never renew my service with 2-10 and I will definitely not recommend them to anyone I know.

I leave my garage open during daytime but instead of them trying to walk into my garage, they stayed out there and rang the doorbell and they had identification.

    They were nice and respected my wishes as far as not walking with shoes inside the house. One guy had booties on when he had to go upstairs while the other guy just took off his shoes as he walked right in the door because he was just on the first floor and only had to look at my stove. He diagnosed it and a couple of days later, he came back with some heating elements and he already knew the drill. He took off his shoes when he came inside. I have recommended it to my brother-in-law and my sister but they got a better deal than I did because I referred him.

    2-10 followed up with us after further review of our claim and issued the maximum settlement allowed per our policy. We are very grateful for their quick response and resolution.

    Original Review: Feb. 21, 2017

    Our septic system alarm went off alerting us to a problem with the system. The lines were about to back up into the house. We immediately submit a service request; we were contacted within a few hours by the contractor dispatched by 2-10, only to be told they do not service septic systems. Our service request was specific to the need of service to the septic system. We were in a position that could not be put on hold. We were able to contact a local septic company & plumber who provided us with great detail in assessing our problem & necessary solution. The septic tank needed to be pumped & replaced along with a pump and electric outlet. We knew the pumping of the tank would not be covered, but we were under the impression the tank replacement and/or pump would be at least up to $500.

    The total job was extensive with a final bill of $4300. This was a huge hit to take on a home we purchased less than 6 months ago that is less than 10 years old. We hoped there would be some relief in at least having the tank and/or pump replacement covered. I submitted all information to 2-10, advised them how disappointed I was in that the contractor they original assigned to us did not even service septic systems, but was eventually advised the work done is not covered under our warranty; having it done by an out of network contractor definitely did not help us, but our situation could not wait. We could not run any water whatsoever; the sewage would've backed up into the house.

    Our receipt for the completed repair was not itemized. Based on what was provided, we would not be reimbursed for anything. I was extremely disappointed and am concerned about anything else that might come up. We paid $995 to this company for our warranty when we purchased our home. I will definitely be looking for a different plan in the future and intend to let my real estate agent know this is not a company to refer his customers to.

    Submitting claims was very hard to track at first because 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was very slow. Their line was always busy and I couldn't get to them. I have to call back or be on hold for 25 minutes then, walk away and leave the phone there or hang up, try again and do it all over again. It's aggravating. Sometimes, it can take a couple of days before I get through but at least, they're trying. They did some things recently to make it a little better but it's still very slow so that's a big problem. We had submitted a claim for the air conditioning. The contractor did some work and replaced a couple of things through the warranty but we wouldn't him back. But the most recent contractor that came out a month ago was okay. Overall, my experience is not good, but it's okay.

    We've renewed our warranty with 2-10 three or four times now because it seemed the easiest path because we had never had a home warranty before and we had a good experience in the first year that we had them. It's been a good investment for us. The most recent claim we filed was with the heat pump we were having a problem with at Christmas time. We called 2-10 and they assigned a local contractor to come and fix it. The wait time was probably 48 hours before the contractor could get out so that was difficult. The contractor fixed the problem but within 30 days, it failed again. They failed to diagnose it being a thermostat problem. I ended up calling somebody who installed the unit for the former owners of the house and they were able to diagnose the problem for me.

It ended up being something that was loose, so the technician fixed it. He was very professional and he came out the same day in an hour. Also, they've always been really nice on the phone when they call me for renewal. They answered all my questions and I've been happy with them.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with the purchase of my home. I stuck with them and I renewed three times. My most recent claim was when we had to replace the air conditioning unit and the process was easy. I initially, put the claim online, but this particular one took a long time and there was a lot of back and forth over the phone. But everything else I've done has been online. Their reps were generally quite helpful and interactions with contractors have all been pretty good.

    However, the issue with the air conditioning unit was a bit of a hassle. It got caught in between things and it should have been resolved quicker. The bad thing with it was the part that was needed was on back order. I went half the summer in Nashville without an air conditioning unit. It should have been a much more proactive push towards resolution. Instead, it took over a month before they determined that they would never be able to receive the part. At that point, I did a buyout 'cause I needed to get a whole new unit. Other than that, my experience with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty has been generally quite good.

    When we bought the house in 2012, the sellers paid for half of 2-10 Warranty and we paid the other half. That was the first year and it was pretty cool and nice. We continued with it over the next 4 years because it really helped us and it's been really good to me. We probably saved $2500 over what we've paid on warranty. We've also increased our protection bit by bit. We got the Supreme protection and a little add on. Then I usually file a claim online and get a call from them within hours, unless it's in middle of the night. In the last two years, we've lost the heat in the middle of the night. One time it was minus 10 outside. The other time wasn't too bad, it's 45. But still, we woke up in the middle of the night and we're freezing. So I bundled up really good and headed back into bed and we got called the next day which was quick.

    A lot of times, the contractors who come have been really good and we've only had 3-4 different contractors. Sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's a different one. But I really haven't had any problems with any of them. They're all really nice, pretty knowledgeable, and never left a mess. Even if they had to come back for a maintenance repair afterward sometimes, they don't make a big deal and they're even prompt. Generally, they've been able to fix everything and the guys have been in and out pretty quick. But when they say they can't do it, I have to quickly get somebody else because sometimes they get busy.

    A lot in the house was not a hundred percent well taken care of when we bought it since it was older people who had stayed there for two years and so things do happen. Even though things are older, they're pretty fine and the contractors explain what's going on. They let us know how they repair the appliance and how much longer the appliance can go. They also tell us what we can do to avoid the problem next time.

    In October, our oven stopped working and we didn't get it fixed until the day after Thanksgiving. But it took over a month for the stove to get fixed because they were looking for the part. The part came in but didn't work, then another part came in but wasn't in the box. It went on and on and on and seemed a little long. Then again the furnace went out in December, on the Thursday before Christmas, but they couldn't get the parts and couldn't fix it until the Monday after. Luckily, it was only about 35 and we have space heaters for the whole weekend to heat the house and keep us warm on Christmas because everybody came over again. But very rare that such happens since nothing takes more than two weeks.

    Moreover, 2-10 is responsive. When our 25-year-old dishwasher went bad and started leaking all over the place, I said we want a real simple one to replace it but the rep said they'll get a GE and then showed me the model. I've measured it twice and it would fit in there so they ordered it and it showed up two days later. Then the contractor showed up the next day and we had a new dishwasher. The only funny thing was she asked me if I really wanted to spend my one-appliance-replacement on the dishwasher when my contract was 15 days less of that term. Of course I did since I can only replace one kitchen appliance per year on that term. But that's the only big appliance we've had replaced and so far I had the garage door redone, we had a new heater installed, and had help with the stove and other appliances.

    That's why I've been recommending 2-10. When my son bought a house, I told him to get a 2-10 Warranty. He had the seller get him one and then I told him to upgrade to the Supreme protection because that's helped me and he did. I tell everybody about 2-10 because they've done quite a bit. I say that for what I've spent on the warranty and what I've gotten, it's good service. I've looked at other warranties out there but they don't seem to be as good for the money. I've heard a lot of bad things about them too, but I've never had 2-10 say something and then not do it.

    When we bought the home that we're living in now, a year of free warranty was included with the purchase. We had to use it that first year and it saved us a lot of money. I called them, although I could do it online, as I prefer to talk to people. I told them what my problem was and they were very prompt. I usually hear from a service person the same day. And usually, the day of or the next day, they're working on my problem. I like 2-10 because I don't have to worry about the charges. I write my one deductible check and I'm done. However, we would like it if the price doesn't go up every year. Aside from that, we're very satisfied with 2-10. And at the end of the year, they sent us a letter asking us if we wanted to renew, which I didn't know would be possible.

Talked to three people and no one would offer any help, just said we had to wait for them to find a part. We were told 8 days ago that it would take a max of 4 days to get this resolved. Also the last supervisor spoke with said she would do nothing to speed up the process and acted like I was outrageous for suggesting that. I feel that waiting this long to have our stove fixed is unacceptable and I'm completely shocked at the incompetency of the staff. The complete disregard for the customer is unacceptable.

    We want nothing to do with 2-10 Home Warranty and will be looking for coverage elsewhere. The company schemes off its customers and their employees are trained to be uncompromising and vague with their customers. My husband and I closed on a house on 1/17/17 and about two weeks after moving into our house, two out of our three toilets were not working properly. One of which had a leak. Both toilets were in working order when we moved into the house which was well documented in our home inspection. We were relieved when we realized that we had purchased the 2-10 Home Warranty and that based on the promises listed on their website that the toilets would be covered. We called their customer service line to book a contractor and paid the $75 deductible.

    The contractor came to the house and said that the toilets would likely need to be replaced. When we were contacted by 2-10's customer service agent they succinctly stated that the toilets would not be covered. The customer service agent rushed through the call, was abrupt, and did not offer any other reasons or solutions to their decision. It was obvious that they were unwilling to work with us. I had to ask the agent if we could send them our Home Inspection report. I was appalled that I even had to ask. I thought for sure they would be on my side and simply ask that we provide additional documentation.

    We sent the Home Inspection Report and was then again contacted by a customer service agent who appeared to have no knowledge of our claim. They stated that there was not enough information on the report because the inspector left the toilet fields on the report blank because, at the time of inspection, the toilets were fully operational. The agent was again rude, and quick tempered and unwilling to offer any type of solution. I then had to ask again, if the inspector sent an addendum to the report, if this would make a difference. The customer service agent brushed me off with a "You can try".

    I contacted our Home Inspector and he immediately sent an addendum to the report putting his reputation and license on the line for us. He clearly stated that other than a handle being loose on one of the toilets (not even one of the ones in question) they were fully operational and there were not any leaks. He was actually in shock that 2-10 Home Warranty would ignore a leak and question his credibility in diagnosing a leak during the inspection. We heard back from 2-10 Home Warranty today, again their customer service representative was rude and unwilling to offer any solution or compromise. At this point, I just wanted the $75 back that I paid for a man to enter my house in his dirty shoes to tell me that my toilets didn't work. Nothing. Please do not choose this company.

    After the denial of a claim for emergency replacement of our water heater and our negative review of 2-10.com, the company reached out to us and made an offer of reimbursement equivalent to what the normal reimbursement would have been had we been able to contact them in advance. We accepted their offer and in our minds, have redeemed themselves. They took into consideration that we had never been advised that we even had a policy and further, that it was a holiday weekend. We thank them for that.

    Original Review: Feb. 8, 2017

    I am a disabled senior who recently moved into this state. We were unaware that our broker provided a 2-10 warranty included in our closing in December. We had a water heater fail just prior to our having to return north for the holidays and had to have the water heater replaced as quickly as possible before we were planning to leave. We called the broker who gave us the name of the company he uses for plumbing and HVAC repairs, (a company that is used by 2-10 by the way). The unit was over 12 years old and had previously serviced by the prior property owner in October just prior to our temporary rental of the property prior to closing. It then failed after our closing. We had the unit repaired as we could not wait for several days for its replacement due to our schedules.

    On our return from the Holidays we talked with our broker (we are realtor. Brokers an another state) who advised us of the 2-10 warranty, a company he uses. We sent the invoice to 2-10 as a claim with a letter of explanation. They gave us a claim # on email after which we never heard from them again. NOTHING until I called day before yesterday when they informed us that the claim had been denied. They said that we could file an appeal. A REPEAT letter of appeal, reiterating our unusual circumstances was sent per their request this morning which they promptly denied, within an hour or so. Now we are talking about a 12 year old failed water heater which, even if we had been aware of the warranty and claims process and had had the time to wait several days to finally get a new one delivered and installed, would have to have been authorized by them in any event, but has been refused by 2-10.

    In other words they are engaged in a dodge. They did not even offer partial compensation. NO CALL! NO DISCUSSION!! We are more than a little upset with their attitude, performance, professionalism and total lack of compassion or consideration. As professionals ourselves, we could never recommend 2-10 to associates, clients, family, friends or neighbors based on this episode. Not only can we not trust 2-10, but, because of their shoddy performance, which is very atypical of professionals in this area, (we have found contractors here to be beyond helpful in every way) we would have to be wary of any contractor that 2-10 would send to our home for fear that they would also be prone to and pressured by 2-10 to cut corners and stick it to the customer to save a buck.

    We've been using 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for four years now and I'm very happy with them. It was real easy to submit a claim to them. The whole system is good. I'm a retired IRS man and I do a lot of financial reports for my national and local Church so I'm used to numbers. And so far, I've been happy with the cost and the service. Their service has been excellent. I'm very pleased with the professionalism and the knowledge of those who has come in the four different occasions that I used the service. The last gentleman that came for the heating issue that we had was very knowledgeable and very fast. He solved the problem within 30 minutes. Overall, they're very prompt and very professional. It's been a very good experience. I've recommended 2-10 to my four neighbors and I even gave them information.

    I had asked for a warranty when I purchased the condo so I got 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. Submitting a claim was very easy and thorough and they did a good job. We just made a phone call and they responded to make sure they knew what appliances I want them to cover. The contractors were very pleasant and very knowledgeable.

    When we went to sell our previous house, our Realtor procured a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty on our existing house to make sure things that cropped up got fixed. We had to exercise that and we were happy. We also took advantage of the opportunity to procure them too on the new house when we bought it and we've been really grateful for that. When our hot water heater decided it was done with life and sprung a substantial leak, they took care of it and it wasn't a hassle. There was good value there and I have taken advantage of it over the five years that we've been in the house.

    Mostly I've been just going to 2-10's webpage and opening a claim that way but their claims reps have been helpful when I've had to talk to them and did what they can to make the problem better. Their contractors were fine except for one that didn't go well where the guy came out and said he was not going to work on the issue. But that got resolved because somebody else was dispatched and they came out and took care of the problem. Overall, they've held up to their end of the deal just fine.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty doesn't cover anything that it's supposed to cover. They couldn't come out and fix the little tag in my oven that was worn-off where the number was. Instead of sending somebody out, they just flat out said they couldn't do it. So, we had to fix it ourselves and it cost us almost $400 to have a plumbing problem fixed because they didn't cover it. So, it's the biggest rip-off. I would not recommend it to anybody who is buying a house nor selling a house because all they're doing is wasting their money.

    When we called about the plumbing, their reps said they would contact a plumber but we didn't hear from that plumber for two days. We called back and they finally sent a plumber out and he tried to unstuck the clog, but he didn't have the right equipment. So, he said to call 2-10 back and they'll send somebody out that needs to come out here. It wouldn't have cost us that $100 fee. So, we got ripped off for the money we had to put out to supposedly cover this fee and nothing was done. And, we had to put another $250 out of our pocket to go to Roto-Rooter to come and fix our problem. We're very dissatisfied overall. I wouldn't call them again even if my life depended on it.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was recommended to me when I first purchased the home in October of 2015. I usually call them when I submit a claim and I had very good interaction with their reps. They're very courteous, very professional and very friendly. Their contractor was knowledgeable about what they were doing and I was satisfied. So far, my experience with them has been very good and positive.

    This is my first experience with 2-10 Warranty... It has been insane!! I called in on Jan 9th stating that I think my water softener is broke... I have hard water, rust, and slight odor. A 2-10 preferred contractor comes out and says my water softener has a bad control board and it needs replaced. Now I have made over 14 calls and been told every excuse from Charles/Mike/Brandon/Hanjio of "it's a maintenance issue" "call another company for second opinion" and even straight out hang ups!! I have asked for a senior management to assist and I was told by "CHARLES" THE SUPERVISOR they don't speak to customers. So I can't speak to them?? As of right now I have paid my year of warranty and the $100 co-pay to contractor and still have a broken water softener and no one from 2-10 will tell me when or if this is getting fixed. I HOPE I WAS NOT SCAMMED BY BUYING THIS WARRANTY!!

    Our furnace broke so we needed to have somebody come out, take a look and fix it. The contractor that 2-10 sent was very professional. He gave me a cell number so I could call him directly. Also, every time I call 2-10, everybody's been good. I had another claim about a dishwasher and I was able to get a hold of somebody and they came out very quickly.

    Ten days ago, my heat pump made this grating sound and started emitting a burning smell. After inspection, my fiancé (an ex-firefighter) determined that it was unsafe to run due to risk of fire. I called 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty immediately after this and set up a service request. I will say up front that their phone lines have been staffed by very courteous people--good job there. However, that is where the accolades end.

    The 2-10 rep said that the contractor they chose would call me on Monday (it was Saturday) to set up an appointment. It is winter, so I decided to leave a message for the contractor to get the ball rolling. The contractor actually called me that evening telling me that they were booked solid for two weeks and to call 2-10 back. I did so. 2-10 dispatched a different contractor. I left a message for this contractor.

    The new contractor called me back that Monday to schedule a diagnosis. He was very slow to respond to calls--we played phone tag a lot. He made an appointment for Tuesday but failed to show, calling at 7pm that evening saying he was sick. I was understanding despite my disappointment--things happen. I saw him Wednesday evening and he told me my heat pump needed a new part but the age of my system would make it virtually impossible to find. He recommended a new system. He was friendly but despite his promise to get moving, I did not hear from him the next morning as promised. I waited until Friday morning to call and left a message. He responded that evening around 4:30 saying they couldn't find the part and would submit paperwork. But not till Monday. This is from a contractor that says he has been working with 2-10 for twenty years.

    It is now Tuesday and I've heard from no one. I called on Sunday to see if something could be done and the rep said he called several contractors to see if someone else could handle it. He also said he left a message for the current contractor. He said that I should hear from someone on Monday, Tuesday morning at the latest. He said that he put my file in the manager's special interest pile to get it moving quickly.

    I have been so patient. I know this time of year is busy for contractors. But 10 days? My pipes might freeze tonight because it's so cold. This evening I called 2-10 when I got off work and complained. They said they would make sure to take care of it right away and if I didn't hear from someone by tomorrow afternoon I should call them back.

    That response ended it for me. I called another contractor of my own choice and after hearing what happened, came out this evening and are installing a new heat pump tomorrow morning. They are also going to look at my hot water heater which stopped working on Tuesday of last week. 2-10 handled that one by sending in a contractor that handled it in a timely manner. Except the hot water heater stopped functioning again two days later. I called 2-10 back about it and again have been waiting for a call that has yet to come. And I might have to pay the service fee again.

    I am very disappointed in 2-10. I feel like I have paid my annual fees and my service fees for nothing but extra work and strife on my end. I feel like the very polite phone reps did not actually do anything to hustle things along and that the contractors they have employed are not very professional nor do they seem to want my business. I am not one to complain unnecessarily. I have been waiting so patiently to be warm in my house and to have hot water, things I thought I paid to have taken care of. I had to say something here because I find this level of apathy from a company unacceptable.

    After our heat went out we called them and had a contractor come out. They took 5 days after deeming it an emergency to get back with us with any answers. I had to call everyday and everyday they would give us a runaround about waiting for something else. Then finally they call us the 5th day and tell us everything is all set to go and the contractor would be out to fix our furnace. Well lo and behold the 6th day we call the contractor to see when they will be here and they tell us it was denied.

    Call 2/10 and they tell us our furnace has been out longer than we said and denied our claim. We had a lapse in our coverage but was covered when the furnace went out. Instead of telling us the first day they made us wait even longer to think we were getting our furnace fixed. Needless to say we took our service elsewhere.

    I've always had a home warranty with a different company, but I really like 2-10 and I've been very pleased with them. Submitting a claim online is very simple. I just log in to my account which is really easy. I open the service request saying what's wrong, and then immediately they give me a confirmation of the contractor that will be calling me. So, I already have the contractor's name and phone number which is nice. Also, the contractors have all been pretty professional and it's been a good experience. They show up on time and do the work.

    We purchased 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty when we bought our home in 2009 and have kept it up every year. Every time that we had to use them, it's been easy to get through and to get somebody out here in a timely manner. We also like the companies that they've used to do the service that was required. We'll keep it as long as we can continue to afford it but if anything starts happening and it doesn't cover certain things, we would just not get it from then on.

    Submitting a claim was very easy and simple. After we purchased the plans, they gave little paper cards and I kept one in my wallet and one with the important papers. If I need the service, I just go to that little card, call the number, let them know what's going on and they give me all the information that's required to get a service company out here including a phone number. Their claim reps have always been kind, courteous and very easy to talk to. They take down all of the questions that I have and get right back to me with any information that I might need so my interaction with them has been perfect.

    Everything has been good with their contractors. They usually give me a call within a day or two, or if I need them sooner. There's only been one time though where they were able to expedite coming out quicker than what was originally planned because it was winter and cold and we didn't have any heat. So, we've never had any problem with the company that they've used. They've always been very good.
