    I’ve had 2-10 for almost 5 years now since I moved into my home. I call them on the phone to submit claims and the reps are pretty good and quick in their response time. I have a claim acting right now concerning my heating system and I’m waiting to hear back from parts. So right now, I’m living in a cold house. The contractors they sent out have been okay so far but I’ll see how it goes from here. I just hope that they'll respond really quickly to my situation at this moment.

    My daughter is a realtor and she was familiar with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. She knew about them and trusted them so we've had their coverage for about a year now. I submitted a claim and they came right out. The first person couldn’t find it but somebody else was sent and got it fixed. The contractor was very nice. 2-10 has been great and I’ve been real pleased with them.

    I called them to submit a claim and the person I spoke to was okay. The experience was simple. Then a service contractor came, looked at it, cleared out something that was blocking the heat, fixed it, and was gone. Our interaction was good and all right and the heater now works.

    I had my house built over 20 years ago and had picked 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty up then. Normally, I submit claims over the phone because it's easiest for me. I haven’t had any problem with the service contractors sent or had a real bad experience. I've recently made 2 claims for two different areas of the house. For one of them, it's the garage door system and they've sent the people out there to look at it but I haven’t heard anything back from them since. On the other one, there's supposed to have been a work order for my tub in my bathroom but I haven’t heard anything for that either. It's hard for me to make of it and I don’t know whether they tried to get a hold of me and couldn’t. If the contractor would come, they'd have to call first. I didn’t have time to call them back and it slipped my mind every day so I don’t know which side it’s on. Still, I've been suggesting 2-10 to other people since I’ve had them even though they’re just okay and not outstanding.

    I submitted a claim in November when my water heater went out. This house was built in 2002 and the water heater apparently was installed the same year. And so, a month and a half ago, it started leaking very badly and I had water running everywhere. I had to get it replaced very quickly. I called the plumber that I knew, and since he was available, he came immediately and told me that we're going to have to replace the water heater.

    I called 2-10 Warranty and went through the steps. They gave me a claim number and the whole bit, and they said they had 24 hours to respond. I never heard back from them. I had to have that water stopped, so I took care of it and paid it, then submitted the bill to 2-10 Warranty. They reviewed it and even if I didn’t exactly follow their protocol, they were good enough to honor it. Also, the guy that I used had done some work for 2-10 Warranty in the past. So, it worked out and they reimbursed me minus the deductible. So I've got no complaints.

    2-10 Home Buyers has good service and seemed to have the best overall product. I’m a real estate agent and had an absolutely wonderful representative in the area by the name of Gail. She's a great person, and service was always there. Her daughter has taken over, but they are awesome nonetheless. I submit claims over the phone and it’s hard to get through the process to getting a call set up for the warranty help. And sometimes, the service tech is not the best in the world. I had an experience with the washing machine which was horrible. It cost by far more to do it as it would’ve been twice as much to fix. I had to call back twice to get them to send a check out for the washer once we had agreed to take a buyout instead of them fixing it which was ridiculous. I had a plumbing experience recently and it was great. The plumber they have in the area now is absolutely fantastic. So overall, everything’s been good and I’m very pleased.

    Updated review: Jan. 2, 2017

    A new washing machine was installed in my home on 22DEC2016, one month and a week after I submitted the work order. 2-10 and the new appliance company that installed the washer were helpful throughout the process.

    Original Review: Dec. 8, 2016

    When my washing machine decided to relocate itself around the laundry room by violently wobbling, I called 2-10 to request a service call. The 2-10 representative was very helpful in setting up my request. Seven days after the request went in, a technician arrived at my home to take a look at the possessed washer and take my $100. He determined that parts would have to be ordered, and a short nine days later, the washing machine was repaired. After a single small load the following day, the washing machine was back to doing the full body seizure. I called the appliance repair company but had to leave a message because the incident occurred on a Saturday, and they are a weekday only kind of organization. I received a call back from the appliance company on the following Monday morning, and they stated that I must resubmit a work order for them to come back out.

    I then called 2-10 to discuss my options. I requested that another company come out due to the incompetence that caused my laundry pile to grow. The 2-10 rep stated that if I chose another repairman, then I would have to pay another $100. So naturally, I decided to stick with Bubba's Appliance Repairs & Service to finish the job. This was two days ago now, and I hear that I won't see a tech until next week. I have a commode and a rock, so the laundry is getting done, but I wish I had my washing machine!

    When I signed on to my 2-10 online account, I looked for a way to contact customer service via email so that I would not have to discuss this publicly. I'm not sure that option exists. You read this far, so I'll give you the silver lining... While in my account, I realized that much of my coverage has a monetary limit of $1,500. So as long as none of my stuff completely breaks, I should be in the clear! Satire aside, I have used my warranty in the past for A/C repair, and the 2-10 representatives have always been helpful and concise. This just happens to be one issue that allowed me to uncover a few things that are in need of attention. Thank you.

    I've been using 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for three years now. My most recent claim with them was regarding the washing machine and that went very well. I filed a claim over the phone and their rep was very helpful. The contractor quickly diagnosed what the problem was and sent the solution to 2-10 and everything was squared away in a couple of weeks. They paid the claim and we were able to get a new washing machine. We’re very satisfied.

    I'm finally happy because I got the air conditioner replaced. The heater and the AC took about a month because 2-10 Warranty contacted one company and they told us that the air conditioning unit that we had, that was put in previously before, would not put out a new furnace that we were going to put in. So, we called another company and they came out and they said they could do it. 2-10 Warranty told us it was $300 out-of-pocket expenses.

    By the time it was all said and done, we spent $900 on out-of-pocket expenses. We're not too happy about that situation. We got a free furnace, but when you do a deal with 2-10 Warranty and they say $300, we're expecting. I should have done is have 2-10 draw up a contract for that $300. I didn't do that. So, the company turned around and said $500, which we accepted. Other than that, we're happy that we got the air-conditioning and the furnace fixed. But for the whole month of July to over August, it was pretty hot in the house. My wife's in a wheelchair, and I had three fans blowing. The only thing I could suggest is, before anybody says, "Okay, this is out-of-pocket could be $300,” get all the facts and find out for sure. Or, at least, they should say, "We don't know how much out-of-pocket expenses. We’re happy to get them to come over there and make an assessment.”

    I wanted to thank 2-10. I was contacted by Yvette after my frustrating time. She apologized over and over and immediately took care of things for me. Sometimes you have an employee who may drop the ball but it was not fair to blame the whole company.

    We purchased a house and 2 weeks later the fridge stopped working. We contacted 2-10 and they initiated the service process. It took the repair person 3 weeks before they finally came to fix. They had to order a part, that part came and was broke, had to wait for another one. I informed 2-10 of the long process and the offered to hire a different person.

    I researched that company and their reviews were horrible. It appears only the low bidders and bad companies win the business. The fix happened and it did not work. The company came back and informed 2-10 it could not be fixed. I spoke to a rep who said they were issuing me a check on October 28 2016. I called them today December 5th, 2016 to see where the check was. After being on hold 20 minutes the person said it was sent on October 28th. Then they get back on the phone and said they have no record of a buyout being issued? They cannot do anything they would have to contact the vendor again, the same vendor who had every excuse in the book as to why they could not make it out to look at the fridge. I would never use this service again. I had to buy a new fridge and received nothing from 2-10.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty is a very reputable company. I sold their product as a realtor and have also used it personally for eight years. I've experienced submitting a claim both on the phone and through online, which was easier. The contractors that have come for the most part have been very good. Other than just recommending 2-10, it's the product I choose to sell over their competitors because they are easy to deal with. There are some that have been nightmares out there like Choice that go through the whole process of denying claims specifically from the sheer point of just denying it. Whereas I found that the folks at 2-10, and from my buyers that have been very satisfied, that there’s a human element to it.

    The process that 2-10 uses when an issue arises ensures that a long wait will occur prior to having an appliance fixed or replaced. The initial call may take up to an hour on hold waiting for a customer service rep. 2-10 assigns a contractor who is required to contact you within 24 hours to set us an appointment. The appointment will be on the assigned contractor's schedule. If they cannot repair initially then a series of visits occurs until 2-10 makes a decision as to how to resolve. I am on week 6 of no refrigeration and several phone calls between the contractor and 2-10. 2-10 has been neither timely nor professional in determining how to manage an appliance that is not working.

    This warranty has been the worst experience I've ever had and I will never purchase a home warranty again because of the service I received. To start, the customer service is horrible. The contractors act like they have no clue what they are doing. I'm a woman and know more about the repairs than most of the contractors that came out. They want to charge you $75.00 for each time they come out to repair but nothing gets repaired. By the time I pay for all the repairs they claim, I could have replaced it and had a brand new system. I ended up paying out of pocket for someone who was reliable to fix my problem. STAY AWAY from this warranty company!

    2-10 Home Buyers came when I bought the house and I've had it for six years now. I had no problems filing a claim and their contractors were good too. My only complaint is that it takes time sometimes to get things fixed. In some cases, it could be a few days before somebody would get here, and finding that something has to be replaced could take a long period of time. The washing machine was an example. We had to go to the laundromat for a week and a half. It was too long and that’s bad. But other than that, I would recommend 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty.

Once they got here, they did the work but it just took them a long time to respond to the request. The people that 2-10 are working with are sometimes not reliable and when you have something go down in the house that you use on a regular basis, it causes an inconvenience.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was in my contract when I bought this house. I have them for two years now and they are better than my previous home warranty. When I submitted my claims, they did what they said they were going to do and everything went smoothly. Although I had to switch to my payment type a couple of times but it was very easy to do. I just made a phone call and it was done and taken care of. I'm completely satisfied.

    When we bought our house, 2-10 was the company that provided home warranty and we've had good service from them. They've fixed things that have gone wrong for us. They've been very supportive in rectifying it. Submitting a claim has been really easy. I either do it online or call them and they send somebody out within 24 hours, though I prefer filing through the phone so I can talk through it, get information right away and have some idea of who the service provider would be. The contractors they've sent have been fine as well. 2-10 has provided a fast and easy experience.

    After a positive interaction with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, Terry increased their star rating on Dec. 7, 2016.

    Updated review: Dec. 7, 2016

    Shortly after posting my review and voicing my dissatisfaction with the company, I was contacted by a customer service representative. I was very pleasantly surprised that the company reached out so quickly and sincerely wanted to resolve the issue. I updated the overall rating only to "Satisfied", believing the company still needs to work on the available service contractors as well as the customer service reps you get when calling in. As far as the behind the scenes customer service is concerned, they rate 5 Stars.

    Original Review: Nov. 18, 2016

    We purchased this home warranty service at closing believing it would provide peace of mind with an unknown set of circumstances in our newly purchased home. Two months after moving in we needed to request service for our heating system. Calling in to request service was easy, or seemed to be. The rep assured us that they would contact someone asap to set up a service call. The first company wouldn't travel that far (30 miles). The second company, when contacted said they didn't service that area either. Now we're thinking it odd that there weren't any service contractors closer. Then we started to worry that area contractors didn't want to be associated with 2-10. We were told we would have to "go out of network" to be serviced.

    We followed protocol, had the service tech call in to 2-10 for authorization of repair, etc. We were told it was authorized and to submit our reimbursement claim. We faxed the claim in, waited and waited and... finally after almost a month we called to get a status of the reimbursement. Guess what? They claimed they had a question about the part and that it was never authorized!! If that were the case, why not contact us or the service contractor?? We were told today, after learning this, that they will contact the service tech to find out about the part and then get back to us. On top of all of this, each call in to them has been mostly on hold, each call averaging more than 20 minutes - the last one was more than 40. Totally unacceptable!

    When the original warranty of our house was supposed to run out, it came up with information that we can prolong our warranty with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. I've had it for half a year. When submitting a claim, I do everything online. I log into the account, submit a claim, and then I was contacted. However, I had some issue with the technician who was supposed to resolve the problem. After that, somebody called me.

    I had some AC issue in the middle of summer in Florida. It was hot and the AC looked like it worked but the temperature didn't come down, so I submitted a claim for a repair. The appointment time was set up and the technician called in advance and came over. I didn't want too much to tell on him, but he doesn't have communication skill completely from my standpoint. He started to find out what was going on. He went outside, checked the inside, and asked a couple of questions. He finally said that everything is old, but didn't do anything to fix it. He was acting very strange. I was supposed to pay my portion for $75 when he was here. But when I started to pay, I just asked him what happened as I have to understand what happened to keep my file history. Then he just said that If I didn't want to pay, he was leaving, and then he left. I wanted to pay the $75 and ran after his truck when he was leaving.

    Then I got a call from the insurance that asked me why I didn't pay even though I wanted to. I found out that a pipe where water comes out was clogged and he just cleaned it. He didn't do too much, but it started to work. He also called me and I finally begged him to take my credit card for the payment. It was ridiculous from my standpoint and I feel that it was not professional enough. If something happened again with my AC, I would explicitly tell them not to send me this service guy again. But in general, it worked and everything was resolved.

    I understand that 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty tries to work with outsourcing some services to do their work and they're looking for the cheapest one in the market. But based on my experience, that does not always work. It's supposed to be satisfaction for the customer so it will be a repeatable business. Other than that, they're decent, they do their job, and are also reachable. I can call and get somebody on the phone. They also have a decent website where I can do everything online and their service works. The insurance is fine and I'm keeping it.

    2-10 has been awesome and customer service oriented. We had some issues with one of the people who came to repair and they immediately got somebody else. We had a leakage in the dishwasher that was going to the downstairs unit. The contractor was in a hurry and didn't do the repairs correctly. When we called him back he said, "I don't have any openings until another two weeks. It's probably not something that I can do." He was putting us off and it was a major problem because it was leaking in the downstairs unit. But 2-10 resolved all the problems that we had. I'll recommend them. I have another rental property and I'm considering adding 2-10 as well because they've been so good. We'll stay with them as long as they keep their cost the same next year. If they jack up the rates after one claim, I have to go with another company.

    For the duration of my one-year warranty, 2-10 sent only lazy contractors who were dishonest about diagnosing our HVAC problems. Four different contractors, all who did not perform a leak scan which would have clearly shown that our AC coil was damaged and should have been covered and replaced under warranty. Instead of doing the due diligence to reveal the underlying issue, the contractors would only add freon before getting in their trucks to drive away. This company clearly has no interest in honoring the warranties they sell or sending competent contractors. So not only did we pay the original warranty cost, we paid $400 in service fees all for nothing. Be advised, do not give your business with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty.

They didn't speak English, and took the washing machine apart. They never put it back together. My laundry room goes to my garage, so I had to go out my front door and that was the worst ever. They couldn't come because it was snowing, but the schools didn't even close. It was just insane. I pay a lot of money for the coverage, but I've been satisfied for all these years.

    2-10 was the company that my home builder had used for their warranty program, so I just continued them. Filing a claim has been pretty good. But it's frustrating that their online claims submission does not allow attachments. So if I wanted to take a picture to go along with the claim to help explain the situation, there was no function or ability to do so. Outside of that, everything else has been fine. When you go out to their main site and you log in, it’s not prominently displayed to file a claim. It’s prominently displayed to renew your coverage, and to submit a claim is not immediately intuitive to find on the website.

    I initially file a claim online and then followed it up with a phone call. The reps are very responsive, understanding and took care of the matter. Most of our interaction has been non-verbal emails and/or through the website. The contractors that came out to our home have all been punctual. They’ve normally all kept me up-to-speed or able to fix it at one time. The one time where I had to talk with the claims agent was when the first vendor that came out was unable to fix the problem. The problem perplexed him and he couldn’t figure it out. But 2-10 dispatched a second company. They came out and were able to find it and fix it.

    We had wanted to call back the mechanical contractor that put in the new system down the Williamsburg property because there was a difficulty with the system. But apparently, because we’re under the warranty, every time we make a call we have to call 2-10. This made it very cumbersome and difficult to get somebody to come back. Within a couple of months of doing the work, the contractor should be responsible to make sure their system works. But me being part of that warranty, I have to call and pay $75 for somebody to come in and be accountable for their own work. So it’s not a fair system.

    Initially, we were getting good responsiveness and the work that they were doing was fine. They operate such a large area that they probably don’t know every contractor. But the contractors they've sent out were cordial, nice, friendly, and professional people. 2-10 provides good service except for that one nuance which is something that they should fix.

    We've had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since we built the house 12 years ago, and we've had one claim so far -- the microwave. The claim was reasonably easy to make, and we did it on the telephone. We realized that we had to pay $75 for the engineer to come out. I was upset that we'd already paid hundreds of dollars, since we've been paying them for the warranty every year for 12 years, and then we still had to pay for the callout.

    Nevertheless, we paid for the callout, although I wasn't very happy about that but that was the only way we could do the repair, and that was what we had to do. That was the only problem I had with them. The service contractor that came out to service our appliance were exactly on time. The engineer did the job right for us and it was nice. The work was satisfactory, the timing was good, and the job has been completed.

    My shower leaked once so I called 2-10 about it. They sent a guy out who had to spend quite a bit of time because it leaked so long, there was some sediment and things built up behind the cartridge so it needed a new one. He had it going to another one that was a little bit thicker and fixed it. Our house's original doorbell also quit working. The doorbell got paint in there so the springs were no longer operating properly which they replaced. And then recently, my kitchen faucet, the original plastic, was leaking. The guy that came out was wonderful and took care of it. He communicated well with 2-10 while he was here to let them know the faucet had to be replaced.

    I was told I have a $150 replacement. Following their protocol, I had to photograph the receipt and attach it to an e-mail with my work and order number. They got it because they called me back with their decision. The phone call goes, “We’re not going to give you the $150 because you didn’t replace with exactly the same faucet.” I said, “Why would I? It was a cheap, junky, construction faucet that was no longer working. It was 15 years old. Why would I put something like that back in? And regardless of what I paid for the faucet, whether I put that one in or this one in, if you’re gonna cap it at $150, that’s fine. I knew that. So what difference does it make?” And she said, “Oh, no. You have to put in a cheap named brand.” It does not say that in the warranty. It just says if I need it replaced I get up to $150.

    I paid almost $248 for the faucet. I knew I wasn't going to get that whole amount back but then, I should get the $150 for whatever faucet to be replaced. So I have a gripe with that one. That whole thing doesn’t even make sense to me. But their claims reps have been fine and had gold customer care. 2-10's easy to work with, really good about fixing things and their referrals had been fine but they would rather fix things than replace them.

    I have never bought a home warranty before. But I got 2-10 because I'm a 73-year-old woman and I don't have someone to deal with these appliances that I have. So I just call 2-10, pay my $50 deductible and they take care of the problem. Everything is expensive but I don't mind paying the $600 dollars a year without having any worries about calling out repair people that charge my service fee, and it's all more than $50 just to come out and check the problem. So, I like having my 2-10.

    They used to be prompt. Although when my air conditioner needed a new compressor, they had to order the valve and wait for it to come in. So, the repair took a little time. But the air conditioner was still working so it wasn't a rush. They may take a couple of days before they can get me. I usually call late in the evening, that's when I usually have trouble, and I can't get an appointment the following day. But recently, they've been on time when I filed a claim. When my garage door spring broke recently, they were right on it right away.

    As for the service contractors, they have been friendly and courteous, except for the last one. He's the only one who was a little less talkative. I didn't even get an invoice from him, and he was gone. Nevertheless, 2-10 has been great whenever I called them and let them know my problem. They don't question me, just ask me what the problem is, and I describe it as best as I can so they can get the right person out here to correct it. Everything has been satisfactory.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was on my new house when I bought it and I continued it. I've been having the coverage for 16 years and they're a lot more expensive compared to other companies. I do it monthly now and unfortunately, I have to pay a 10% service charge and their deductible went from $50 to $75.

    But compared to one of the companies I was thinking about switching to, the contractors that I've used for 2-10 don’t take the other companies because they're not reliable. So that’s why I stuck with 2-10. Also, one time before I renew my contract, I was curious and went online to get quotes for different warranty companies and interesting enough, 2-10 doesn’t participate.

    My experiences when submitting a claim via phone have been very good. It's fairly easy but sometimes they put the claims to people who aren’t even in my area or somebody who's really far away. Those people don’t even come down here when I try to set up an appointment so then I have to call them back and tell them to send somebody a little closer.

    We've had 2-10 for about 10 years and generally we've had a good experience submitting a claim. We've set the claims up online for the last couple of years and it's easy. Lately, the last few times, we've had to follow up with phone calls because we haven't had calls back from the providers. Particularly, since we've had all the flooding in Baton Rouge, everybody is so busy so one time they had to locate a different provider.

    We have an expensive home and expensive appliances so we've always gotten the upgrades on the policies. When we've had to talk to a claims representative, it's been frustrating. For instance, we had our disposal replaced in the kitchen and they didn't wanna replace it to the same level that we had because we use it a lot and I do a lot of heavy duty cooking. We had an upgraded one which is why it was a higher horse power. We've some issues with having them replace appliances comparable to what we have had. We ask why we're getting the extra for the luxury appliance package and they say it's because they normally use another so we question the real value. We talk to the technician and the builder and all kinds of people until they finally do it. But it was a bit of a hassle.

    The service contractors who have come out have been fine. About 4 years ago when we had a problem with the HVAC system and they didn't have a provider in the area. That was a bit frustrating and it was surprising they didn't have anybody because we're in Baton Rouge and it's a good sized metropolitan area. They asked if we knew somebody who's willing to get on their list and then we ended up doing something without the warranty. But we haven't ran into that same problem again since they've started using the 360 Degree Group of Sears. So, more often than not, when it's something complicated, they go to that group, which is good. Everything's been good and generally, it always works out so that's why we obviously stuck with them for so long. 2-10 is definitely worth having and I don't know how people manage without it.

Most of the time, we put in the claim online and then they will have the people they're sending out to us contact us. When our air conditioner went out, we called because my mom couldn't deal with the heat during the summer. It was a long wait to get somebody to talk to but the people that we talked to were good and went out of their way to call the air conditioning people who'd come out and deal with us, and kept in touch by calling us back.

    So far, we've been impressed with the people they've sent out, except for one. The plumber was really nice as well as the air conditioning guys. However, the first electrician that came out was the one guy that we did not like. He seemed to want to do the job as fast and as little as possible. There had been some miscommunication and misunderstanding between what we understood was going to be covered and what was actually covered. Nevertheless, the last electrician was a great guy. My overall experience was good and it's well worth it.

    We sold manufactured homes in Florida and we're big fans of warranties. The one that we use down in Florida isn't available in New Jersey so we asked the real estate agent which one they used and they gave us two names. We looked at reviews online and 2-10 has a good reputation and seemed to have better reviews than the other company. They were within a couple bucks of each other as far as the deductible. So, we thought 2-10 was the stronger choice for where we were buying.

    We had a problem right after we moved in in July. We noticed that the air conditioner kept running and didn't seem to drop the temp in the house very much. We contacted them via phone and they got on it right away. That part of the claim was very smooth and 2-10 was excellent handling the situation. The service contractor was prompt in setting the appointment and took two days to come out, which was not bad for summertime with the air conditioning. He came out that day, solved the problem and fixed everything. We have to give the service contractor 10s across the board on every phase of their service. We've only had them out once but they're a very good local company and we're happy with the repair. The heater is running and seems to be functioning fine. Everything rolled along very smoothly.

But when we had a faulty receptacle on the outside of the house and had a guy come, he complained and moaned about having to drive all the way from Charlotte, which is about 50 miles. But he’s lying like a dog because he takes flying lessons and he comes up here every Saturday. He made it like he was going out of his way just to accommodate us. But he took care of it.

    My house already has 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty when I bought it in 2006 and I just continued it. Most of the time it’s very easy to file a claim. I can go online or call and make a claim. It depends on how urgent the situation is. However, doing it by phone certainly makes me feel better when I'm not in a great mood because of what’s happening in the house and I needed to talk to someone immediately. Most of the contractors are very easy to deal with. They call us immediately, set up an appointment and they come in a timely manner. The only one that I had a problem with was the contractor for our microwave problem. I did not pay them because I felt they didn’t deserve. When I first started they had lots of people who worked with them but over the years they have fewer people that's been with my area although they have somebody who lives in the area and is worth it.

    I've had 2-10 warranty since owning the home. When submitting a claim, I call in and give a description of the problem. They get back in touch with me, and let me know when they can send a contractor out and the price of the deductible. Most of the contractors that came to my home were very good. There was one time, though, when 2-10 couldn't find a contractor in this area, so we had to outsource, but I was able to get a contractor that got the work done.

    I only have one issue with 2-10 and that's the fact that on my policy, there's an upgrade for the appliances, the refrigerator and the ice maker. However, when I actually had a problem with the appliance, I didn't know there was a maximum limit that they could give in lieu of a replacement. They couldn't replace the appliance, so they just gave me their maximum limit, which is $400, and that's my fault because I didn't read my policy all the way through. I figured, when I got the extension with the ice maker, that that would be the extension for the appliances. Nevertheless, 2-10 is reliable for the most part, and I never had a major problem with them, except for that one incident.

After getting a contractor to my house ($200) and getting an estimate for repair, they said I would have to get one of their contractors out here to confirm diagnosis. At a cost of $100 to me.

    They now refuse to reimburse any of the cost of the original contractor after telling me they would and after I follow their instructions to a T. They say even though they cover heat pumps, they might not cover the repair of heat pumps if the condition was pre-existing or if it could have been caused by lack of maintenance. Then they tell me that every possible failure falls in one of those two categories. So in effect, they actually don't cover furnaces or heat pumps after all. And that it's all in the fine print.

It's an older house and the warranty for the first three years was initially paid for by the sellers and after that, we've renewed it every year. We've had them since January of 2009 and it used to be better than it is now. We can submit a claim online, but I've had a lot of contractors that I don't prefer to have again. Some people have not been so great, though we have had some good experiences.

    We've had some appliances that were completely replaced because they either broke a few times or the parts were not available anymore. But when I called them when there was water dripping from my mother-in-law's shower, the two different plumbers told us that it was nothing. It turned out to actually be a very big thing and it was missed. It was two different years and I paid for the deductible just for them to say that it was nothing. But overall, we've been mostly happy and satisfied. It gives us peace of mind that if something major were to happen, we only had a small deductible after paying our yearly fees.

    We've been a long-term customer of 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. The claim experiences have been good, with the exception of latest one. Our microwave oven went out and I lodged the claim on August 21st, and it has not been repaired yet. The service people came out and looked at it. They said it needed to have a new magnetron, then they left and said 2-10 Warranty will be contacting me. I got together with 2-10 Warranty and after going through options of whether they were going to try to buy out a settlement which would not even come close to purchasing a replacement for the microwave oven, they decided to send the parts out and have it repaired.

    They sent the parts on September 30th and were supposed to be delivered by October 7th at the end of a business day, but they never showed up. I have left messages with the service contractor and we can't get a hold of them. They never called back. When I talked to 2-10 Warranty, they addressed it and tried to contact the service contractor but they were not successful either. They've got to get the service contractor unit respond to them and if not, then I'm gonna try to find out some solution. We are not happy and if we don't get results soon, we are going to take this whole case to the Consumer Affairs division of our local television studios, which are extremely good at tracking these things down.

But 2-10 didn’t put them in their file, never followed up with it, and sent the same company out again. I was very upset with it because it’s costing them more money. If people keep making up things and say how I need a whole new this, a whole new that, and I didn’t, then I saved their company over $1,000 with buying a brand new appliance, whereas it just was a $40 fix.

    We moved into our home on May 7, 2016. Shortly after moving in, we noticed that our oven wasn't operating correctly. The door wouldn't remain closed. We scheduled an appointment through 2-10 online for May 30. On that date, Avauxco came to our home and determined that the door wasn't closing properly due to faulty hinges. They told us they would contact us when the hinges came in. When the hinges came in, Avauxco contacted us and scheduled an appointment to replace the hinges on July 6. On that date, Avauxco came out and replaced the hinges, and we now had a working oven. After approximately two to three weeks of irregular use (we didn't use the oven more than a handful of times during that period), the door again wouldn't close properly, again preventing the oven from operating.

    We scheduled another appointment through 2-10 online for August 19. On that date, Avauxco came out and told us that the hinges were again faulty and told us they would contact us when the hinges came in. After a few weeks passed and we hadn't heard from them, we called and were told that 2-10 had canceled the work order. We then called 2-10 and, after being conferenced in with Avauxco, we're assured that our oven would be repaired to our satisfaction. On September 26, Avauxco came out and told us that the hinges were indeed faulty and that they would have to contact 2-10 to see if they would authorize another replacement of said hinges.

    This morning, October 6, we received a voice mail stating that 2-10 was denying the claim due to "misuse or abuse." When I called 2-10 to get details, they told me that Avauxco had reported to them that we must have set a pot on the door thus breaking the hinges. First, the technician who came out on September said nothing about the cause of the failure. He simply told us that it would be up to 2-10 to decide whether or not they would authorize a second replacement of the hinges. Second, there was no misuse or abuse. We have working oven racks in the oven. This is where we place our baking trays or casserole dishes. We have never, ever used a pot in the oven and have never put anything on the door other than an oven mitt.

    After being placed on hold, I was told by the 2-10 representative that she had spoken to her superior who told her that they remained steadfast in their denial of our claim and that there was nothing more that she could do. I was also told that we could hire our own contractor to diagnose and/or fix our oven, but that that would be our responsibility. I then asked to speak to her superior and was put on about a 10-15 minute hold, only to be told when she came back that he was on another call. After she offered to have Alvin call me back and took my number, I asked how long it would be before I should expect to hear back. I was told maybe an hour. That was at 12:21 pm. It is now 3:50 pm, and I have still not heard back from Alvin or anyone else from 2-10.

    After reviewing our contract and finding the following information on disputes: "We handle every claim separately. This means we review the unique cause(s) of your claim. We rely on the information you provide to our customer service representative about your system or appliance, and the information provided by the service contractor that inspects and repairs equipment failures within the Terms & Conditions of this Service Agreement. In the event you do not agree with our determination, we will engage in a commercially reasonable dispute resolution process of your choice but both you and we agree that your unique situation is not to be resolved in combination with any other homeowner that has a Home Warranty Service Agreement."

    Since there is no further information on 2-10's website or in the contract about how to file a dispute, I have contacted our lawyer and will meet with him on Monday. What's the point of offering a warranty repair service if you, as the warranty company, can deny a claim based on dishonest information provided by your contractor? By the way, I asked if they have more than one contractor who deals with oven repair and, you guessed it, I was told "No".

Unfortunately, we had to add to it when we had to replace the water system in the house because the chemicals they used in the water had corroded all the copper.

    When we purchased our new home and sold the old one, we told the leasing agent for our old home that we didn't like AHS and that we were looking for something else. She directed us to 2-10. We had done one claim online, and one by telephone. Both were easy, but I prefer the telephone just because I feel like they can give a little more information there.

    The first claim that we did was outside. We were sure that one of our gas packs was on its way out, we could smell that it's not fully combusted gas. The contractor took his time and said that it was still functioning as it was supposed to. He said that we were right that it may go out fairly soon, but that there was no safety issue, and then explained what things were like. He told us that if we feel, hear or see some things, to call back. He was absolutely fantastic and it felt like we had been in good hands.

    The last claim was a garbage disposal that leaked and rested at the bottom. The technician, interestingly enough, was from a company that was one of the reasons we didn't like continuing with AHS. He did the work fine, but it was kind of a just-did-the-work-type idea with some metal shards from where he had to file off one of the pipes, and that was still left on our kitchen floor that I cleaned up. The rest that's still left were cleaned up, and the replacement piece was larger than the one that he took out. We had one of the units flooding drawer, and cannot put that up there anymore so we have lost half of the usage as we had it for one side of our sink. We're not too happy about that but we have a functioning disposal again.

My AC worked for a few more months before the fan clogged again but this time so bad that it destroyed the motor and parts now need to be replaced. A second contractor came out and told me that everything would be resolved and ordered the parts needed to replace it. When the THIRD CONTRACTOR came out to replace the parts he discovered that my Furnace was "INSTALLED IMPROPERLY" and 2-10 denied my claim. The furnace was installed on the floor against manufacturer instructions and therefore had been sucking up dirt and debris and this is the reason the fan was being clogged over and over again.

    I had to go through the entire process of getting my claim reviewed and after an hour and a half of being placed on hold the claims department overturned the denial because I have improper installation coverage. I was so happy! Then they transferred me over to the Purchasing department so that I could get the proper parts ordered and after placing me on hold for 30 more minutes they denied my claim again because although I have Improper Installation coverage - this is actually Improper Improper Installation. Great.

    I was transferred back to the Claims department and spoke to Jerad who told me there were no supervisors available, would not tell me when there was going to be a supervisor available and then when I had asked if this damage could have been prevented had the FIRST CONTRACTOR IN JULY actually diagnosed the problem he point blank told me that he was no longer going to be answering any of my questions and that I was "just looking for an excuse to get them to cover my claim when they weren't going to make exceptions for ANYONE." Oh, Jerad ALSO told me that he was going to go back and retroactively deny my claim from July now that this new contractor has diagnosed that the problem is an "improper improper install" which they don't cover - just improper installs.

    Be VERY CAREFUL of dealing with this company. Their company policy must be zero tolerance for circumstances that would, in the interest of delivering great customer service, require stepping out of their prescribed book of answers which they will happily (almost gleefully) read to you. Since May 2015, our air conditioner has been on and off broken. I should mention 2-10 came out a half dozen times in the last year and a half, fixed the first broken piece they ran across, only to have the unit break again in 2 weeks, three weeks, or a month.

    They never offered to waive the service fee (yes, I asked). Better customer service would have been to do a systemic evaluation of the problem about the 2nd or 3rd time it broke, instead of continuously fixing the first broken thing, collecting their service fee, and moving on. When our A/C unit failed, I attempted to get 2-10 to reimburse us for the cost of the failed parts which both the salesman from their preferred company and the last technician who serviced our unit said they would do if I decided to replace the unit.

    The company quoted us a price.to replace the unit. I called another contractor to seek a second quote (my expense) and he came in $2,000 less for a comparable unit. We went ahead and replaced the unit, but 2-10 denied our request to reimburse us the cost of just the one failed piece (the compressor) which both their preferred company and my contractor 100% agreed was the problem. (Yes, I provided written proof.) The reason for the denial: I failed to call ahead to get my contractor approved. No one bothered to mention that to me.

    Their communication leaves much to be desired: Witness, they failed to tell me I needed to get any other contractor pre-approved; in trying to get my claim considered, you are on hold forever and transferred multiple times between departments; several of their customer service reps were rude and abrupt; I never did get a written response to my written request for a partial reimbursement.

    I finally had to call to ask their decision. More waiting, more transferring, an hour later I got a live person only to find out we were denied. Overall, a very disappointing experience, I won't be recommending them to any of my friends and I certainly won't be renewing. Let the buyer beware should be their motto, not "we are in the business of keeping promises."

    2-10 is very good when I submit a claim - they answer me and call someone right away, then the person calls back right away. I'm very pleased with that. I usually do the claim filing over the phone and I talk to a nice claims representative. We had one claim the dryer though wherein the first man didn't call back. Finally I called him and he said he couldn't come for a week and half. So then I called back 2-10 and they got someone else right away, which was good.

    My most recent claim worked out very well except Sears was not on time. I guess they couldn't help it since they gave their technician too many things to do - he can't help it if the work in one place takes longer. The technician who did the repair was very thorough. I couldn't have asked for a better person to come and check it. He found out what was wrong with the dryer. Turns out that when Sears originally put in the dryer, there was a problem with them taking the tube in the back to the wall. They didn't do it exactly right and dust was coming out to the floor in the back, which we couldn't see. The technician caught this and corrected it. He then had to order the part, which came in the mail within a few days. He came back the next day after receiving the part, since I got the appointment rescheduled, and put it in.

    I have been involved with a warranty company in Washington, D.C. and I came across 2-10 on the internet. I was looking for home warranty companies and I decided to go with them. I've been with them since I moved here in Florida in 2005. I filed a few claims now, and most of them had been taken care of. Submitting a claim has been easy. I've been very satisfied with the response that I've gotten from them. Usually, when I call, I get a work order right away. And then, usually, within 24 to 48 hours, I get a call from the repair company. We set up the time and the date for the appointment for them to come out so that I'll be home and not at that job because I work in Orlando although I live here in Palm Coast. It takes an 80-mile commute each way, so I have to take a half or whole day off to be here when they come in because I'm not married and I'm the only one here. Someone has to be here for them to get in and out of the house.

    Once the repair person comes out, I pay the $75 service fee, and they submit the claim and go on about their business. On some occasions, the repair company or person is so far out, and they grudgingly accept the work order. It's a business decision that they make. If they do local calls, they make more money. If they do calls that are far out, the drive time is going to take more time. I understand where they're coming from. Everybody’s in business to make money, not lose money. By taking calls that are far out that requires a lot of travel, they're going to end up sacrificing one or two service calls that they could’ve done or completed closer in. Finding companies that are closer in would go a long way in customer satisfaction.

    In addition, I live in Palm Coast Florida, which is halfway between Daytona Beach and San Agustin, and my air conditioner repair guy came all the way down from Jacksonville, which is 65 miles. 2-10 should research the Palm Coast area where they have a lot of customers and see if they could find repair companies that are closer and within 20 to 30 miles. You hear these guys going 65 miles from Jacksonville to repair an air conditioner or something complain about having to drive all the way down here on 95 and that it takes half a day to come down and go back and do a repair. I'm a business person and I understand if these independents contractors don’t want to spend half a day on one job. They want to get four jobs in if possible to maximize their income. Perhaps 2-10 could do a better job in finding vendors that are closer to the customer or ask the customer if they knew of someone locally that could do the job.

    I had one recent bad experience with them. My pool pump was making noise, and I called it in and they assigned it to a company in Orlando, which is 75 miles away and approximately an hour and 25 minutes from where I live. Within 48 hours, a company called me and we spoke on the phone about the problem. The rep confirmed my address and she said it's a little far and she doesn’t know if they are going to be servicing homes up in my area. I told her that the noise was disturbing my neighbor, so I needed to get it fixed, and she said she would call me back. She never called me back in a couple of days. The houses here in Florida are very close to each other. When I turned my pool on, it was making a noise like an old cranky car, and I didn’t want to have my neighbor calling me and complaining about a noise I didn’t make. Within three days, I got my local pool guy to repair the noise.

    Then I called 2-10 and I asked them if I could submit a claim myself. I got the runaround, and I got a little upset about it. When I talked to one of their representatives, she said I should've called it back in and they could’ve reassigned it. I told her I should have but I was concerned about the noise and my neighbor complaining. I also said that I live in a very quiet neighborhood, and we try to get along together because we are in a close proximity to each other on both sides, and when we get emergencies like I did, we have to do something to keep the peace in the neighborhood. She told me I needed to talk to one of the supervisors and gave me the corporate line. I felt that I was going to get in a long line of people, so I called and left my name. I didn’t get a callback, so I decided to let it go. I paid the repair person who fixed the problem.

    We had our first repairmen come out to our house in the very beginning of July. We paid our $100 in cash and he said he would return to fix the refrigerator/freezer. We never heard from him again. His "quick fix" of putting a rag in the flap that was broken on the water dispenser failed and we lost of hundreds of dollars in food from our freezer melting.

    Fast forward to September when a second repairman was sent out and we were "graciously" told we would not have to pay the $100 again (ironic since you would seem it would be the company's responsibility to hire contractors who complete the job). A repairman came out to review the refrigerator, said it was not the ice maker but the motor to dispense the ice as well as the broken flap. He would order the parts and return. Later in the week we were left a voicemail saying the claim was denied because the ice maker was broken (ice is made and it works fine). I called and explained that the ice maker works but it does not dispense ice and there is a flap broken on the freezer which is preventing the freezer from keeping food frozen. The man said "it's all one unit" however if the original repairman had completed the order it would have been covered.

    Customer Service said if we had paid by credit card then he could have refunded the money over the phone but because we paid in cash that I had to send an email to Customer Service. I followed his instructions and of course got another voicemail saying they would not refund it. I have spent several hours on hold with these people, lost hundreds of dollars in food, dealt with two contractors who lied, customer service who lied, and they offer no assistance, no help just "sorry we aren't given your money back."

    Where is the apology for the lost food, for having contractors who don't return to repair the freezer, who don't return calls? I guess they have never heard of the expression "the customer is not always right but they are always a customer." I was treated horribly and told "go ahead and report us." I have never complained about any service I have ever used before so this should speak volumes to the type of treatment we received. Now off to buy a new refrigerator which I could have done back in July if we weren't lied to.

    We bought our house and took out Home Buyers Warranty then. We've had them going on nine years now. Normally, 2-10 all works out pretty good. Most of the claim submissions have been good, but there's been one or two that I wasn't happy with, and my big complaint is, after I filed a claim, I can't get a hold of anybody if 2-10 don't get the work done right on time when it's supposed to be. One time, we went without an air conditioner for 12 days and it was during the hot summer. 2-10 got us mixed up with somebody else. We got the wrong piece of material and this wasn't followed through properly. They just makeshift on it, made it work, and didn't have the right piece. 2-10 will usually be very good at talking to me when I call them, but they're not good anymore to do that.

    Plus, sometimes they'll usually call back and see if the work has been done. I've reported a number of times that it's not completed yet, and they do not ever contact me again, so I have a problem with that. Nevertheless, the claims rep is pretty good. Furthermore, the contractor have been good since then, and we still have them out to do our work. We still have 2-10, now I'm going to look into it, and we're due for renewal pretty soon. For two years, I've asked for a brochure on what they cover and I have not received that yet, so I write it down what they tell me, and that's not good enough.

    My experience with them has been good. They're good people, but their rate goes up every year. I had a problem with them one time when my heating system went out. It took me awhile to get them going. They would give me one person after another and I had a problem with that. I left them for a month and switched to another company. And it was a mistake I've made. At the time, 2-10 told me that I will have trouble with some wires in my air condition, but they didn't fix that. So I said goodbye to them and I went back to Home. And then, when that problem came up, they came in. I had it paid copayment, but I had to pay $300. But that saved me up to $2,000. So I'm not gonna leave them again, because they had been real good. In fact, I have recommended them to friends.

    When I purchased the house, it was brought up at the closing that the previous owners had 2-10 and I just continued with it. I have them ever since 2003. I was trying to get a plumber because part of the ceiling have fallen down from all the water that came from the water tank upstairs, so I submitted a claim with 2-10 over the phone. It was not an easy process and was a little stressful. In fact, I wound up with a bad headache because I was calling back and forth several times. The first plumber that they suggested was 71 miles away and the second one was 30 miles away. When I spoke to each one of them, they said they don't understand why 2-10 didn't get somebody closer. They should have been more knowledgeable about the plumbers in network that were closer to me than having to go that far away as far as getting a plumber. Also, my problem was frustrating but 2-10 didn't treat it as though it was a real emergency and were lax in that respect.

    So I had to go out of network and get my own plumber who I've been working with for a long time. 2-10 approved that and he came, looked at the problem and said that it was the water tank. We had to replace it with a new one and he put it up for me. He's a very nice man and I trusted him. He was here for about four hours because he had to drain the old tank up in the attic and take the new one up there. He said the valve was broken and the pan that was underneath the water tank was plastic which was probably very cheap. It had a rusted hole through it and the water came right through it that's why I had all the leaking in the ceiling. He came about 9:30 and was done a little bit after 1:00. He had someone with him to help him but he took care of everything. He cleared up all the water that was up there which wasn't much. He did a great job.

    We’ve had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since we bought the house. We used them twice and it's been a very good experience. They're very cooperative and very forward. We knew exactly what was going on with them when we talked with them. The last claim we submitted was for the air-conditioning unit. The rep was very friendly. The contractor they recommended was pretty unreasonable. He was a very friendly guy, but he never let us know what was going on and we were out without air for almost a week. We called him many times and he never returned a phone call ever.

    The motor went out and the contractor had to order one, but he never told us if it would take a day or two days. We were in our 80's, so without some air conditioning, we get pretty hot. We didn't know if we should get out of the house and go someplace else and live because we have a small dog too. It's been between 95 and a hundred up here for months. We were ready just to go down to our daughter's and stay there. We were getting to the point where homeowners were getting to call another contractor. And at that very moment, this guy called to say he'd be up with the motor, and then within six days. But he did get the motor. He came up and put it in and that was it.

    Our air conditioning went out in Arizona during summer and it took the weekend and then almost a week until 2-10 could fix it, which wasn't ideal. The contractor fixed it the same day, so that was great. In the contract, it says that 2-10 doesn't work over the weekend and then they'll contact somebody within the next available appointment with that vendor. There could have been some exceptions to that rule. If the air conditioning goes out and it's 120 degrees outside in a retirement community, there should be some urgency to get that fixed. Though it was in the contract, they need to work on their scheduling.

    I spent over 3-4 weeks without HVAC while I had family visiting. Eventually they replaced the entire outside unit, however they went back and forth with the contractor substantially and I had to intervene frequently to harass and ask questions while we were unable to use the upstairs bedrooms. The contractor informed us it could have been resolved on the same visit if the insurance company would have allowed him to purchase the part locally, however they have to perform some sort of ritual for approvals. When I complained to customer service, they said that I was one of the lucky ones; people usually spends months without AC in the summer. This is not comforting.

    The second time I had to use the service, it was for my garbage disposal that got something stuck and became inoperable and smelled like burned plastic. When I called it in, the plumber came in, manually forced the garbage disposal and said that since it was technically operable again, it couldn't be replaced. It has to be completely destroyed or inoperable, even if it's degraded or extremely loud now, technically it's in working condition and they wouldn't authorize a replacement. I've only had two experiences so far, each pretty poor compared to my previous home warranty with my prior home purchase. I won't be renewing and will be in the market for a new home warranty provider.

Last time our air conditioner broke and they were saying it was not covered, so I shelled out $900 to get it fixed and it took them two weeks to get it done. I always request the same contractor. But the last time, the warranty company dropped the ball. They were supposed to call me and explained that certain things weren't covered, like modification to ductwork but on my paper from them, it says it is covered. I was supposed to receive a call from upper management and never did. That was almost three months ago and the contractors say they were the worst company to work with.

    It's worth the money because we've had so many issues with our refrigerator, washer or dryer. But they keep fixing the same thing instead of replacing it. We had somebody come out to fix the ice maker five times and it's broken again. I haven't even had the chance to call them back, but they're going to require $75 deductible again.

They have a total disregard for your needs, regardless whether or not you are in 90 plus heat inside your home. They have absolutely no sense of urgency whatsoever. Nowhere on their website do they state the in cases of extreme, that you are allowed to contact an out of network contractor. Nor do they provide this information in any of their recorded messages.

    When you call to complain, all you get are the scripted excuses and the "We are very sorry for what you are experiencing and that you are unhappy," b.s. All they want to do is continually repair a unit so that they don't have to pay for the replacement of the unit and then have the nerve to tell you that they do this because "It's less expensive for you, the customer."

They were booked up 72 hours out before they were going to be able to get here. I called 2-10 again and asked them if they could try to find somebody that could get here the next day and they were able to. The rep went to three other heating and air conditioning companies and she found somebody and explained the situation.

    The contractor was out here 10 o'clock the next morning. He called an hour before and also about 10 minutes before he got here. He said he was right up the street and he wanted to know if we were ready to go. We told him, "Sure, come on down." He asked where the unit was, had it taken care of, and got it back up and running pretty quick. He had everything he needed on his truck to make the repair.

I’m retired and on a fixed income, and with 2-10, there’s not a huge outlay of money. I do understand that there’s a $100 deductible but I pay that and the repairs are done and that’s a whole lot cheaper than paying a professional to come out on my own.

    I've tried submitting a claim online but the website wasn't extremely user-friendly. I had trouble with getting onto the request to make an appointment for repairs. I’ve tried calling the place and there’s always a big long wait time which was one thing that really frustrated me. When I finally talked to them, I set up an appointment. The people who come were great. They’ve showed up at the right time and done the repairs which were done fantastically.

    The first claim I had last year was a plumbing issue. The faucets at my washing machine were dripping even when they were turned off but now they work great. The plumber was great, personable and did the repairs in a good amount of time. I put that down to the fact that the home had been vacant for about 10 years. My realtor and my next door neighbors had told me that. So it probably was just normal drying out of the gaskets. Then the repair I had done last month was an electrical issue with one of the outlets. The electrician came and put a new plug in, and it’s been working great since then. The repairs didn’t take very long and was good all the way around.

On August 29, the contractor came to the home and diagnosed "requires new house pump" (written directly from their invoice). However, since 2-10 had informed the contractor this was a "low priority" situation. The contractor did not have the needed vehicle/equipment/etc. with which to do the work AND needed to get pre-approval to COME BACK and do the job.

    How does having absolutely NO water in a home rank as a low priority?

Later in the day, contractor contacted my wife and informed her the job had been approved and would be out later that afternoon to do the work, however in addition it was now going to cost an additional 343.00 dollars out of pocket costs due to it now being an emergency status and other assorted unclear reasons and 2-10 would only cover the initial 500.00 which did not include the 75.00 already paid to the contractor for the "trade fee". In the interim, I had contacted a reputable local company to inquire the cost of repair for the work that had been described to us.

    A short time later, I received a call from 2-10 informing me of these additional out of pocket costs. I took much issue with this and inquired if I were able to get my own "out of network contractor" who is licensed and accredited to do the work much cheaper without the BS emergency status etc... would 2-10 honor them doing the work. I was told yes that they would as long as they were a licensed contractor and contacted them prior to doing the work. I contacted the 2-10 contractor and after trying to negotiate, informed them I would be going in another direction. Contacted the local reputable contractor and was told he would be at the home within 1 to 1.5 hours. He came to do the job however, after he and my wife waited over 1 hour and 16 minutes for someone to actually get on the phone with them.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was now DENYING THE CLAIM stating it was not a covered part. When I contacted them regarding this on 8/30 what they told me was... (That they and THEIR initial contractor had made an error/mistake). My questions were; You approved the repair/part, however, now that I secured my own reputable contractor to do the work and/or correctly diagnose the problem... you are now going to deny the claim? "(Yes.)" They went on babbling about language in the agreement.

    In general, when a reputable company/organization makes a mistake, admits to a mistake. Doesn't a reputable company/organization stand by their mistake? (No response.) How disrespectful is it to make a customer AND reputable contractor wait over an hour and sixteen minutes for someone to actually answer the phone? (No response.) In addition, I purposely have called and selected various other options to choose from in their phone system and have had immediate response to a wait no longer than 4 minutes. When I asked how that works (or actually doesn't when it comes to actual customer service). (Yup, no response.)

    A. If you are a realtor, they answered in one minute and 25 seconds. B. If you call as a contractor, they answered in one minute and 45 seconds. C. If you call to add options, they answered in 3 minutes and 41 seconds. D. If you call the 800-776-4296 number (not sure what this one is for) the pick up/response is immediate. I had the repair made and WOULD have saved a couple of hundred dollars over what the 2-10 approved contractor would have charged with what was and was not covered (out of pocket) expenses.

    This has not been the only time with this organization that shoddy work and horrible customer service has been the norm. June 2015: They sent a contractor to fix a different water issue and I stood by as he was getting word for word instruction over the phone by someone in order to do the job. Subsequently he did more damage than good. He neglected to install a filtration button (reportedly plumbing 101) on the part he replaced which caused the pipes to shake violently each time they would go on/off. He over-tightened connections which caused them to break/leak shortly after he left.

    I contacted 2-10 and they wanted to send this incompetent company back to "fix it". I said no thanks, I never wanted someone this incompetent to ever come back to my home and requested that they please look into this supposed contractor. I requested to get my own and be reimbursed which 2-10 agreed to but never made good on the reimbursement. During this most recent situation when I initially contacted 2-10 to get someone to do the work, the first name/company off the board they were going to give me was... yup, that same incompetent company from the June 2015 fiasco. I said no way and expressed my disbelief they still allowed this company to do anything with/for them.

    Another puzzling issue with this company is what appears to be a moving target as to what the maximum they will pay for any given service. Nowhere in the often referred to but vague "service agreement" they will constantly refer to does it clearly explain maximum coverages. I bring this up because silly me, I have all the deluxe, supreme and maximum type additional coverages this company offers except those covering pool/spa. Don't have those. I bring this up because in September 2008 my water well pump went out to the tune of 950.00 dollars and was covered. Now, supposedly my maximum for water issues is now only 500.00?? My premiums have certainly gone up yet now it appears my coverage has dropped. Substantially. Nowhere in the sacred service agreement is this explained to unsuspecting customers.

    With this and the 2015 incidents, I will not be taking this without some type of recourse. Having read the horrible reviews on yelp, am hard pressed to understand/believe that this organization is allowed to remain in business. When I discussed seeking further recourse with Louie ** who supposedly spoke with his supervisor Kevin (no # given), he literally laughed to my face and said to go ahead and try to get satisfaction. Nice.

I am a new mother and have no way to store milk for my baby. I have checked with many parts distributors and they all have is stock or can get it in 3 days. To make matters worse, the cost for part and repair is less than the warranty. I would have done better without the warranty.

    The lady who sold our house to us bought a warranty on the appliances for a year from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, and I went back with them last month. When our compressor in the air conditioner went out, I called to file a claim and spoke to someone live. Their claim process was easy, and the technician that they sent out was very good. We had him on a Friday. I showed him where the air conditioner was, and it was a problem with the IC. He went out and got a second opinion, and he came back to fix it on a Thursday because they had to order the part. So it took five days to fix our a/c, but the service was good. The technician was professional, consistent and timely. I then got a call that Thursday after they fixed it and another call on a Tuesday, and they asked me how the service, and the air conditioner was. It has been a very good experience.

I recently had to have our garbage disposal fixed and I asked them for CMP Plumbing because at one time they sent Junior's Plumbing here and I wasn't happy with them at all. They were supposed to fix the faucet and they didn't. On the other hand, I've had CMP before I had 2-10, and their tech is a very nice man. He does his work and knows what he's doing.

    However, there was a crazy mix-up because 2-10 keeps on calling me thinking they haven't had the work done and I keep telling them they've had CMP come and fix it. They called again today, and I wasn't here so I called them back and the rep said he was going to put a note and take care of it. They're great and I would recommend them. When my contract is up, I will go back with them. Also, I own another property and there, I'm with 2-10 Home Buyers too.

I usually submit claims online which is easy to do. Their contractors are friendly and efficient, except for one. There's a time when I had an emergency and we had to change to a different contractor another time. The first contractor that came out said there was nothing wrong. I resubmitted and they said they will waive the resubmitting fee. They quickly decided to replace the microwave because there were no service parts available. In addition, I've had a problem with the plumbing contractors because they take a week to come out, but other than that, it's been pretty easy. Overall, 2-10's service is fast and efficient.

    We've had the coverage of 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a year and a half. Originally, it was for one year, then we renewed it since it was okay. The last time that they came out, they replaced parts in our clothes washer. The experience was good because the guy was very nice and easy to work with. He saw what was wrong, and ordered the part. We had to wait about two weeks for the part to come in. Then he disassembled the washer, only to discover that there was another part that was broken that he didn't know about. So we had to go back and order that, and that was another two weeks. Then finally, the contractor came back out and repaired the washer completely.

    So the repair work took an extended time, which was not real great. But, we have no complaint because the guy did very good work. He was nice to talk to and really explained things to us as he was going through it. To have a nice serviceman means a lot. We live in a very rural area of Tennessee, so we don't have the local contractors, and they have to come from other places. We're grateful to have somebody come and work on our home repair problems. They're very personable, always kind and understanding.

    We've had three repairs filed with 2-10. The first one was to replace a computer panel that was inside the air conditioner. So, they tried to seek someone out in the area who had the air conditioning skills, but they had no contractor in the area that could come out. It was an eye-opener for us. We had no idea that there was going to be that much difficulty getting anybody to service the contract. So, they had to go to Knoxville which is 45 minutes away to get somebody, but they were also unable to find anybody there. So, they called us back and said, "Do you know of anybody in the area that we could contact?" We did know someone in the area, Nealy Thompson, and recommended them. They took the contract for this one occasion and everything worked out fine.

    The third occasion that we called somebody out was for the air conditioner again, but the problem was simply a matter of low Freon so it was easily resolved. 2-10 got a company from Knoxville and this time, 2-10 had to pay a premium for the contractor to come out because we were so far away. It's tough to live in a place as rural as where we are and have this kind of a service contract. But 2-10 has been trying real hard to take care of that for us and we're grateful. They're very determined to fulfill their contract.

    I submit a claim with 2-10 on the phone and it's mostly automated. I get a little frustrated sometimes when I'm pushing buttons and talking on the phone because if I say something wrong and the thing doesn't understand, then it messes up and then I start over again. I prefer talking to a live person. As far as I order a service, the reps call me within the 24 hours or less and we set up a time and then the techs come out.

    The first time I submitted a claim, I had to call a plumber because my bathroom was leaking and it caused my ceiling downstairs to get a lot of water damage. The tech said it was because of a little valve, which I was shocked because I never see water. Because it was going to cost me $400 to fix my ceiling from the water damage, it took four months for me to get it done. But he fixed it and I paid him. A month later, that brand new ceiling was full of water. I called again and he came out. I said it's the ring so to appease me, he looked at the ring and confirms it. They changed the guts out in the back of the toilet. I had to spend another $400 to fix my ceiling again. He also had to cut out an even bigger hole this time so I wasn't happy about that.

    Then my air conditioner was not getting cool. I called to have the work done and the HVAC guy came out. He said it's an electrical problem. He put a cardboard on the outside of the box and some tape on it which looks like a fire hazard to me. I call the home warranty and they said the tech said I need an electrician. So, I call the company and said they won't be able to come out until Monday. I called 2-10 back and I waited on hold forever to talk to somebody.

    The guy that I talked to originally said HVAC can change that out. He came out on that Monday and said that it's a part that he has to order. The air conditioner guy said he changed something and it got a little cooler. Then I didn't hear from them. A week later, I called back and the rep said she doesn't know what I was talking about. I called the other company that 2-10 have sent and they said that somebody closed the account and that they can't do anything. It's been a runaround. They're coming out today anywhere between 1:00 and 5:00. I called them and they said it'll be after 5:00. This service is a joke.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty has been very accommodating. I've talked to people and they waived the fee for me. What I'm unhappy with is the contractor. I would not hire the HVAC person that was here. It's totally unacceptable if they come out here, left that cardboard and never said anything back to me again. Even when I called yesterday, the ABC said they'll come out again but I have pay that $75 which I already paid in the past and I never got service. I'm very dissatisfied. Even though 2-10 has great service, I will not purchase this again and I would not recommend it because of the providers.

    We've had 2-10 Home Buyers warranty for thirteen months now. It was negotiated when we bought our home a year ago. We went with them because of the extended coverage. The actual process of submitting the claim was pretty easy. However, the response to our claim has been mixed. We've had three different things. The trash disposal was a pretty quick turn. The air conditioning was about 10 days before we were able to get somebody out, and we received mixed messages from the customer service department when I called back on it, in terms of when I was supposed to call back and how I was supposed to manage it.

    Originally, their email said, "Oh, someone's been contacted. If you don't hear from them within 48 hours, contact us." Well, I waited the 48 hours, I contacted, and the service guy said, "Oh, you should have called within 24 hours." I said, "Well, if I had known I was supposed to call within 24 hours, I assure you I would have." That was highly less than desirable. The first service company never even called us back to get on their schedule or anything. When we called 2-10 back, they submitted another order with somebody else.

    We waited the 48 hours that we were told to wait. It was a Friday, and I missed that Friday afternoon to call them, so we had to wait till Monday. Then when we called back on Monday, 2-10 submitted the order to somebody else, and it was going to be a week before they could come out. The contractor was good, though. Apparently, the drain pipe clogged, and it caused the system to shut off. The last claim was our hot water heater, and the service was prompt. 2-10 does not have enough people on contract to handle the call volume, that it takes two weeks in a non-crisis situation. If it's summer, they need to get more people on contract to handle call volume. If it's winter, they have to have more heating people to accommodate because two weeks is really long.

    I filed a work order for my non-working AC on Wednesday, August 24th. A contractor came out Thursday, August 25th and determined it needed a new compressor. I received an email from 2-10 on Friday, August 26th with an ETA of the compressor that same day. I call the contractor, and he tells me he does not have all of the parts to install it, and says it will be Tuesday/Wednesday of the following week (30th/31st). I called 2-10 to tell them of this issue and give them the contractor's direct cell phone number to straighten out the issue. The person apologized for dropping the ball and assured me I would receive a new email with an updated ETA the next day. I called 2-10 the next day to be sure the parts were ordered, and they weren't.

    They also did not have record in the notes that I gave them the contractor's cell phone number or record that they made that call. They transferred me to someone else in another department (who conveniently did not have a phone number) and said that they would allow the contractor to buy the parts and then be reimbursed since this process had taken much longer than it should have. This conversation happened Tuesday, August 30th. The compressor arrived on Wednesday, August 31st, and now the contractor has all of the parts. However, because of the delay 2-10 caused in receiving the parts, the contractor cannot do the work until Tuesday, September 6th due to the tropical storm lingering outside of Florida (they can't work in the rain) and Labor Day. This makes almost two weeks of living without air conditioning in Florida in August.

    When I called 2-10 today to speak to a supervisor to see what could be done, the person on the phone told me she had had trouble getting a supervisor all day. I said I was willing to wait, to which she said, "I'm not. I can't be on hold for that long." Needless to say, I am extremely frustrated and do not feel like my situation is being taken seriously by 2-10.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was offered with the house when I bought it 10 years ago. On paper, it's better than most of the others from a cost perspective. The actual process of submitting a claim is a piece of cake and the automated one works fine. When they put you on hold, after 10 minutes it clicks off. So you have to wait 45 minutes to get the first person on the phone and if they try to connect you and no one else picks up, 10 minutes after that they click off. I have my cellphone records to prove that. And if you have a problem with the claim and you try to do it online, it won't let you. If you try to do it on the automated phone system, it won't let you either. So you end up having to talk to somebody.

    I reported my air conditioning system as being out on the 2nd of July. The first time I was notified that there was going to be a technician to come to my house was on the 6th of July and the earliest they could come was on the 14th of July. That wasn't good enough. This is in South Carolina and it's 95 plus degrees every single day in July. So I contacted 2-10 and they sent another company out. They did the testing that's authorized by 2-10 Warranty and that's it. Their hands are tied. 2-10 won't let them do what needs to be done to figure out what's really wrong with my air conditioner. So I was without air conditioning in my house from the 2nd of July until the 7th of August.

    They sent the same technician back out a second time and he did some more stuff and said that it's an old system and there's nothing he can do based on what 2-10 is told him to test. So the next day, the temperature's 85 degrees in the house at 7 o'clock at night. I called 2-10 back and they sent another company out. This guy checked the pressures outside and said they were all working. So I grab my laser thermometer, have him come inside the house and pointed it at the vents where the air is coming out. The air coming out of the vent is 82 degrees. He said that's not right. Then I convinced him to go up in the attic and look around. He came down and said there's definitely something wrong and that he had to make some calls. He left the house, went out to his truck, made some calls and drove off.

    He didn't tell me anything that was going on and I didn't know what was wrong. The only reason I knew anything else happened is because I called 2-10 the next morning and was told they've assigned my case to another company because that company decided they weren't going to do it. So they assigned me another tech. I call this company on the phone and was told they've been out of business for over two years and 2-10 still keeps assigning them with work. I called them back and the best anybody can do for me is 10 days out. It was the 28th of July and I'm still without air conditioning and haven't had anybody come out that could recognize that there was something wrong.

    I had to raise a holy stink to get somebody to come out. Prestige came and did exactly what they were supposed to do. The tech diagnosed that there was a leak and told 2-10 about it. 2-10 said he wasn't allowed to test for a leak. I said I'll even pay for it and the said it doesn't matter. They're still not going to pay to fix it if he does a leak test and they told him that too.

    Prestige also said the coil's bad and we need to replace it. So 2-10's going to order the parts and won't let the company order them because 2-10 can get them cheaper than the company that came out and did the work. On Saturday they called me and wanted me to approve the parts. I approved the warranty parts and they said that the two parts we have to replace are not covered by a warranty. I had to hang up on her and talk to the other company which told me to put the tray in. So I did that but the parts didn't come after we were told on Saturday that they've been shipped and after we were told on Monday that they were delivered to the warehouse. On Wednesday, I finally got a hold of a senior guy in the purchasing department who told me that there was a glitch and they didn't get my parts ordered.

    2-10 was trying to figure out a way to not have to fix the air conditioning. They will do anything that they can to avoid having to do anything other than band-aid the system together. That's how they make their money. They finally got my air conditioning fixed on the 7th of August after it being reported on the 2nd of July. I've submitted a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and their response couldn't have been more full of lies than if they tried. I have all the emails. Every time you make a claim they send you an email that says they received your claim. I have documented everything.

    Every time a technician comes to my house, I bend his ear on whether or not I should continue or not continue with 2-10. And the only reason I did is because I was able to manipulate the system to get value for the most part until this year. I have a second air conditioning system in my house that has the exact same problem as the other one and all they want to do is put Lead Stop in it, which every air conditioning tech in the world will tell you will do nothing but garbage up the system and make it work harder and burnout sooner. So I will not be renewing my warranty with them this year.

    If you know anybody and they're thinking about signing up with 2-10, tell them not to do it. Better off going with their local gas and electric company or going with individual things, especially when it comes to heating and air conditioning. There's no way I'd recommend anybody do it on HVAC systems because they're not going to fix it if they don't have to. And their system is set up that way. They deserve to get credit for doing the simple things but on major systems it is not in their best interest to fix them because those are huge fixes. They probably spent more on fighting me to get my air conditioning system fixed than they would have if they had just fixed it the first time. Their warranty service is acceptable for regular appliances like refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers. But on major systems in the house, they're your worst option.

However, he came in late twice. He gave me the 8:00 to 1:00 and 8:00 to 12:00 windows for the first and second appointments, respectively, and both times he came after 1:00.

Several hours later, they sent me another email saying that someone else was doing it. The guy called us and he charged $150 instead of $75. He said that's the policy because it was the weekend. So, we had to pay it. I was not very pleased with that but he did fix it. He did a good job so I have no complaint on him except for the cost.

    Also, we had a washer and dryer and it took them four trips to do it. Another is we had a dishwasher and they refused to pay. And then, we called and said that they had to pay because the dishwasher has been inspected by their team and they said it was okay. This house was vacant then. When I moved in and tried to use it, it wouldn't work. They almost accused me of breaking it. So I went out and bought me a dishwasher. Finally, after the dispute, they did split what I paid.

Two claims in particular have been put in regarding a garage door opener and a central vacuum. The garage opener was in fact inspected and we were told by the person that 2-10 sent out, that it could not be fixed and needed to be replaced. That was July 26, 2016... already 1 month ago. Since then, we've spent countless hours on the phone to have someone come replace it. This has still not happened, nor have we heard why not. We call and call, but to no avail, nothing is accomplished.

    On the same date, July 26, 2016, we also had our central vacuum looked at and it was determined that the motherboard was in need of being replaced. We were told that this claim was denied on August 4th because the motherboard is not something they replace. Their policy says that they replace the motor but not the motherboard. After speaking with 3 different people at 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, we explained that the motherboard controls the motor and therefore is essentially the central vacuum system. The policy clearly states they do not replace PARTS. The motherboard of a central vacuum is NOT a part but is essential to running the vacuum. We were specifically told that this makes complete sense by Alexandra, who works in Claims management. This was after August 4th, 2016 (when it was originally denied).

    We called again this evening around 7:15pm EST and figured we could get in touch with a manager before they left at 8pm EST. Well after being transferred 5 times WITHIN THE SAME DEPARTMENT AFTER ASKING THEM TO NOT TRANSFER US WITHIN THIS DEPARTMENT, it was after 8pm and of course, the claims management department was gone for the day... another 1.5 hours completely wasted of our time. We just want our claims answered in a timely fashion.

    This has been a horrible experience and I cannot imagine how you are still in business while running your company like this. We were completely denied even having a manager call us back, when Anthony ** told us this evening that no one in claims management could call us back nor could we have a specific number in claims management to call. You clearly have no customer service and every time we call back we will have to re-explain the entire situation. We are completely disgusted with the lack of follow through and the run around we have been given.

    When I purchased my home, my realtor mentioned that the settlement company would provide me with the warranty for a year. So, we've been covered by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since we moved here in May. I initially tried to file a claim online but since I'm not as computer-literate as I should be, I did it over the phone instead. They were very helpful and understanding. They went through and did the final steps for me on the phone. It took them no time to look for a contractor who then immediately called me. The company that was notified was in Richmond and we live in the Manassas area, which is a couple of hours away from Richmond but they have people that they subcontract to so it was all very conveniently done and very quickly too.

    Our claim was about our disposal that quit working. The brushes we use for cleaning baby bottles were very tiny and one of them slipped down into the disposal unit. It accidentally got turned before word got passed that there was something in there, so it ceased to work. The contractor was very nice. He came out, located the brush and took it out. He then said that 2-10 will do this kind of a call one time. Then things like that are getting inspected and it’s something they won't cover again which I understand and I appreciated the information. I told them that this was a learning for me too. The entire process went much more quickly than I expected and that was very nice. They got on it right away and we were back to normal within a couple of hours so that was good. It was a very pleasant experience and we were very satisfied.

    We've had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for 10 years now. When I file a claim, the contractor gets in contact with me within 24 hours but they do advise me if I want after 12 hours, I can personally call the contractor and they provide me with the phone number. If they don’t contact me right away or if they haven’t gotten the fax from the service provider, they’ll tell me as soon as they get the fax from the service provider that they will call me. Also, their prices were beating any of the other competitors in the beginning. I didn’t have too many issues with them, and as far as submitting claims for electrical and appliances now, I have no issues but I’ve had a lot of difficulties submitting claims when it came to air conditioning units the last couple of years because they don’t have 24-hour immediate service and I live in Arizona where temperatures run in the double digits. I’ve had to call for air conditioning twice, and it’s been disappointing.

    You never know when your air conditioner will go out. Two years ago, my air conditioning went out in the mid of July when the temperature was in the triple digits and it was extremely hot. I had to wait five days before they could come out and service the unit. Then the second unit broke again at the same timeframe and I had call them back and it took them another three days. I had to personally keep calling the vendor and explain to him that I have diabetes and it was very hot so that was terrible. Then two years after that experience, my unit broke again in the middle of the night, so I called in on a Friday and I didn’t get any response from anybody until a Sunday. One person told me it might take three to five days. I called them back, and tried to see what's going on and asked if there's any way they can get another person out. I was told they had to cancel the prior appointment and they can't guarantee the other one would be any faster.

    Luckily enough the individuals they gave the call to knew my situation, called me up and they were able to get somebody out that Monday morning. I signed a contract with those individuals, so I’m in their contract now and if anything was to ever happen, I can get emergency service from them. But that’s something that I’m paying additional to my homeowners once a month to get that 24-hour service. They do two checkups a year - summer and winter. But the whole point is they need to find vendors for situations like that especially right now. I know it’s not just Arizona and a lot of areas are in extreme heat right now.

    Our first claim was for plumbing and the plumber came over and fixed the kitchen. But then we had another problem and told the plumber. He said, “Well, I don’t have no time to fix that, but if you want me to come tomorrow, you’re gonna have to give me $100 additional.” He wanted us to pay him an additional $100 to do the work on a Saturday. We didn't agree with that because we pay for the insurance, so we waited for Monday and he didn't return. Two or three weeks passed and he haven't repaired the problem. We still have the same problem right now. We contacted 2-10 and they made an appointment for Friday to fix the issue. But I had to hire a plumber to fix one of the problems we have, and pay him from my pocket. We're not very happy with the plumbing company that they sent out. But when we called 2-10, they always return the call and they’re very nice. So we are happy with 2-10.

I went ahead and had the AC serviced on my own. I found out earlier this week from my agent that my policy was in fact in effect beginning 11 May. Apparently the information that the 2-10 representative told me was incorrect. I have contacted customer service to seek reimbursement and all they can tell me is that because I did not get a pre-authorization they cannot reimburse me. However the only reason I could not get a pre-authorization is because your representative incorrectly believed my policy was not in effect.

    Our realtor got 2-10 for us, and we've had them for three months now. I had an okay experience submitting a claim. I did it online, and I waited about a day and I hadn't gotten a call. So I called them and someone came out two days later. However, I didn't like the service that I got from the person they sent out to work on it. We had an air conditioner issue, so we got three people on our own to come look at the unit because they were saying we needed to replace it, and we wanted to make sure we did. Then when we had the 2-10 guy come out, and he said that the air conditioner wasn't broken at all then gave us 5 ounces of Freon and left.

    We're having the air conditioner replaced right now completely with our money because the 2-10 guy said that it wasn't broken. We definitely won't tell our friends that they should get 2-10 because they say who we're allowed to use and it gave us the impression that they don't really want to pay out on the claims. We decided we'd rather have a more professional air conditioning company install our air conditioner as we didn't have a lot of faith in the company that they would allow us to use.

    Due to familiarity and because they gave us a premier low rate, we stayed with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. We've been with them for about a year and a month. We've had several claims over the past year and most of them have gone smoothly and successfully. I've filed claims both online and by phone and the former is easier. Recently, though, we've been waiting for a replacement regarding a claim and communication with that has been a little bit hard. That’s not resolved yet. Overall, the value is good, but as far as the customer service and getting issues resolved, it's sometimes not as good as it could be. The communication with some departments has been on hold for an hour sometimes just trying to get through the right person that could resolve the issues. Other than that, their contractors have all been very helpful and honest.

    They had started me out with $50 for service calls. And then all of a sudden down the road they increased it by $25. Now at that particular time, I was thinking about just letting them go because I felt that it was absolutely too much of an increase. I’ve been with them for almost 10 years and then they decide they wanted to increase. Next year when it’s time to renew, I will take it in consideration. But this year, I didn’t do it because I had an illness in my family, so I didn’t have time to think about it. I was very disappointed when they increased and if they continue to do that, I’m going to end up going somewhere else. Because I know there are other good companies out there that are much more affordable.

    I file my claims over the phone and I can get to someone and they would give me a number to call once they put the information in the system. Then they tell me to call within an hour or two. And that works very well. The technicians that they send out are very good. I have no complaints about them. That’s the best part.

    We've had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since we built the house. It's been 12 years. Our builder recommended them. I submit my claims mostly online. If it's just general, online is easier because it takes them forever to answer the phone at 2-10. When we had air-conditioning problems, that was the biggest nightmare. We were actually thinking about letting them go because the contractors were absolutely horrible. I think it's a money thing. We had an air-conditioning problem that's been going on for the last two years and one guy that came out last year repaired it, but he didn't do the job right, and he did it at the very end of the season last year, so we really didn't need our air-conditioner except once or twice after that. But when we started to try to use it this year, it didn't work. He installed it improperly and all of the freon leaked out in our attic.

    Also, part of our record, the guys from the last company that came stole a $100 hair clippers out of my bathroom, and that infuriated us. I trusted them to come in and out of my house, and it's just me and my wife. Nobody's ever been up in our bedroom but these guys. They were going back and forth from the attic down to the truck. I wasn't following behind them. I told 2-10 they could never send that company out to our home again. Then, another guy didn't want do it, so I ended up having to call someone myself. I hired a company. I called in one day and the rep arrived the next day. He knew exactly what the deal was, came in, and fixed it. It was right at the time when our renewal was up, and we weren't going to renew it if they weren't going to cover some the cost of that contractor that came out here and did the work, but 2-10 paid, so we renewed.

    Then, we had a guy come out about three weeks ago because our refrigerator was leaking water. He said it was fixed, called my wife then said, "The next time it happens, you can do it yourself." Well, that thing filled up and water started running out of the freezer in about four days, so we had to have another guy come out. Right now, it appears that he fixed it right. He was good and I like him.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was chosen by our realtor when we bought the house almost three years ago. Other than the fact that amount we have to pay for it kept going up constantly, our experience over the past few years has been mostly positive. We have to pay an extra $99 a year because our air conditioning unit is an older one, which is on top of the warranty plan.

    In June, I filed a claim about an air conditioning unit that quit working. It took four days to get fixed because I didn't notice that the unit stopped working so I wasn't able to file immediately. I submitted the claim over the phone through an automated system. It didn't take that long and the overall process wasn't too bad. The service contractor was pretty good as well. I called on Saturday and he was actually not supposed to be out here until that Wednesday, but he managed to get out here that Monday because I told him that my husband was working in this heat all day. The contractor was very courteous and efficient. Unlike the first time we had a problem with this unit, the company was really good and reliable. They got the job done and it didn't take them four trips like what had happened when we first had an issue.

    Our AC started leaking in May 2016. They sent a company out (who did a great job by the way) but were instructed to try to patch the leak. Once all alternatives were exhausted, they told me we needed the coil replaced but the cost was more than the unit was worth. In other words, I needed to pay $4000 to get the whole unit replaced, they would pay whatever amount they covered. They ordered parts incorrectly several times. Every time I would call to find out what was going on, I was told it was up to the contractor. (The contractor called me almost daily to stay in touch and let me know that the problem wasn't on their end.)

    When I asked to be transferred to purchasing, they said the parts had NOT been ordered. I went through this for two months. It's now August 11 and I'm finally getting the unit replaced - at $4000 out of my pocket. I have been treated terribly with this whole deal.

I took their recommendation and here we are 16 years later.

That was my only drawback because once I got a hold of them, the people I talked to were very helpful. They asked information for the parent company and acted on it on Monday. So I was happy with them.

    However, I couldn't contact the first contractor I got until Monday so I was already two days behind. Then when I got a hold of the contractor, he said it would be 15 days before he could even come out and look at it. That was totally unacceptable so I called back 2-10, told them what he said and they increased it to an emergency and had a different contractor come out the same day.

    I have 2-10 for almost five years now. We're about to drop them because this year is pretty much the end of it all. When we made a ref repair, which was covered up to $300, we found out that they could not find anybody in our area who would work for them. Nobody ever contacted us about it. They said that we'll hear from somebody within 24-48 hours, but nobody did. It took over a week before I finally called 2-10 and asked if anybody was contacting us. It turned out the contractor declined. So they ended up telling me we need to find somebody ourselves and they’ll have to reimburse us, but first, I have to follow their sets of rules so that we could get reimbursed. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't find somebody, then you need to just say, "Here's the 300 bucks."

    So I went to Angie’s List after having to spend several hours on the phone with 2-10 about this. I called the top five people and got phone calls back from three of them within 48 hours - one of whom did eventually do the repair. 2-10 spoke with the tech and authorized the repair, so that was the better part of the experience. I do not know if the tech has been paid yet because 2-10 promised they wouldn't give credit card number over the phone to the company once it was done.

    Then earlier in the year, around March, our dishwasher wasn’t heating and washing right. Once again, 2-10 found somebody who didn’t contact us and we ended up having to contact 2-10. The tech eventually came out and said it was the heating unit, so we needed to replace it. We waited two and a half weeks before asking the tech if he was coming back. He said the part just came that day. He came and fixed the dishwasher. The second time we ran it afterwards, same problem. He came back again and said it's the thermostat or something else. So he said he had to order those parts.

    I later found out that all the part ordering actually goes through 2-10. So in terms of the amount of time, it may have been 2-10’s fault totally and not the contractor they chose. Lord knows how long they may have sat in it. The tech came out and fixed everything he said was right, turned it on and there's hot water. When we went to use it, the water heater stopped 20 minutes into the cycle, stopped altogether and froze like it was doing before. So I called 2-10 and told them they need to send somebody else because this guy had two chances and hadn’t fixed the dishwasher at all. We were afraid he was breaking it. They said they can't and had to let the tech under his warranty that he gave them so they had to send him out again.

    I asked what happens if he can't fix it at this point. They said, "We'll worry about that when it comes to that. If he can't fix it this time, we can talk about a cash buyout.” And they offered $230, which was absolutely ridiculous. They'd rather spend more money trying to let him fix it. 230 bucks for this dishwasher is an insult. But most of the stuff I read afterwards was, very often, 2-10 insults you with the amount of money they give you on a cash buyout.

    The tech came again and was frustrated at this point. He called 2-10 and said it's a lost cause and they need to replace it. 2-10 said they're going to send out somebody else. $230 is all they're going to give me if I want to do the buyout. I said, “I'll let you keep spending your money until you fix it if that’s the way you want to do it.”

    So they finally sent down another company who they don’t usually work with. The company said they usually don’t work with 2-10 because they're a pain to deal with and they don’t pay a lot. So they were here under duress in some ways. Turns out the previous guy had crossed wires and had broken another part in the process. There were like four things that had to be changed. These guys had to argue with 2-10 because 2-10 didn’t want to pay enough. Eventually, they came out again about three days later with the parts because I had to talk to somebody at 2-10 and there were at least 12 hours of phone calls because, the whole times, they were absolutely ridiculous. I demanded the parts be sent overnight because we were now on the third month without a dishwasher.

    The fifth time somebody had been to the house actually was able to fix the dishwasher and he said I basically have all new parts inside now. It would've been cheaper to buy us a new dishwasher, so it's not only that it cost 2-10 a ton to have it done but they lost a client in the process. Bad taste in our mouth after this year. The wait times to deal with anybody once the claim is submitted are incredibly long. In both instances, we had people say they are not going to do the job after 2-10 said these people were going to do it, and nobody told us. So we waited longer and waited forever on hold to find out what the deal was. And God forbid you have to deal with their parts department that are not with their contractors. They'd be gone for 30 minutes at a time and tell you you have to find your own.

    We bought our 2-10 Home Buyers warranty when we purchased our house. It's a useless policy and it doesn't cover anything. The whole point of getting the homeowner's insurance is to protect against unexpected things that maybe the inspection missed or something like that. However, we had an issue with a possible leak that wasn't discovered during the inspection and ended up having to contact them. They came and said it was a pre-existing condition. But in a used house, what's not a pre-existing condition? The entire house is pre-existing so I imagine that nothing will be covered. We paid for the premium part and $75 for the guy to come out and do nothing. It's a gigantic racket.

    They also told us that it was this one thing with the shower and the drain was not cocked right and that was what was causing the leak. But after they came out, we had a second plumber come out to give us a second opinion and it turned out the pipes under the sink ruptured while the plumber was checking things out and got water all over everything. I would file a claim with 2-10 but I know it would just be pre-existing so I didn't even bother.

    We had a plumbing work order denied coverage recently that has caused us to re-evaluate the need for and expense of a home warranty through 2-10. We find that the language in the agreement is far too vague and open to interpretation, favoring the warranty provider and not the homeowner. A leak in a gas line in our crawl space that makes it impossible to safely and properly use gas to heat our home and water should be covered. But the language in the agreement stating "Interior gas lines" under "Heating" was interpreted by 2-10 representatives to mean that the tee where our dryer line branches off the main gas line is not covered.

    So our experience has shown that any vague language in the agreement will be interpreted as non-coverage by 2-10. Upon closer review and evaluation of the agreement, we have found that extremely few systems in our home could be argued beyond the shadow of a doubt to be covered. The few things we own that we feel we could actually successfully argue are covered are generally new enough that they are already covered by manufacturer's warranties. So this warranty is both too much hassle and too little value.

    We requested a pro-rata refund from 2-10 for the remaining days on our service agreement. In the end, the hours we spent on the phone with them, in our crawl space investigating the leak, waiting for their plumber to arrive and do nothing, and finally and working with our own plumber to fix the leak will have amounted to a savings of about $20 for 2-10 (subtracting the refund from the reimbursement we were asking them to make).

    I recently bought a condominium and my real estate agent purchased the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for me. She paid for it as a bonus for using her services. When I had a problem with my water heater, they sent two plumbers that weren't too skilled to do the job. Because of that they gave me a $1,000 rebate. But for something that costs $8,500 that's really not very good. The same thing happened with my dishwasher when it didn't function properly. They offered a $100 rebate for something that cost over 5 plus fees that go with installation and hauling it away. They sound very good but it isn't a whole lot of support.

    The technicians they sent seem to put in the effort to help with the water heater but they were not able to do the work. The first two plumbers that came were single people who work for themselves. I had to find a large company with multiple technicians and services to do the work. It was the third time around before I could find a company that could do the work. Sometimes they don't understand the complexity of the job or what the problem is.

    The process with 2-10 is not difficult. The first two claims were on the phone. This last one was online. I submitted the claim paper work that had the receipt and then they sent me the rebate check. The claim process wasn't too difficult with the dishwasher but with the hot water heater, there was a lot of back and forth, back and forth before the decision was made on the exact amount. The rep I spoke with was very helpful but they weren't quite sure how to do that. It took them a long time to come to the decision.

    Then they asked me to renew the warranty which I did but they asked for the renewal three months before the expiration date with the understanding that there was a $35 reduction in the cost. I renewed the warranty either way. There's always room for improvement. It's very difficult to pin point the proper service technician to do what you need to have done over the phone. There will always be missed steps.

    I've been using 2-10 since 2012 and it's a good warranty company. I would recommend them to anybody. I recently filed a claim about my AC and when I called in the morning, the contractor called me that afternoon. However, the first one who came out didn't really know what he was doing and wasn't really good at all. We were without air for over a week, it was in the hot time, and bad but they sent another one and I haven't had any problems since then. I also talked to the second contractor the last time when he came out to put that seal and the Freon back in it, and he's a nice and real good guy.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty was reasonable as far as when I needed any work done in my house. Filing a claim with them was easy, I'd just call then they'd recommend somebody. Sometimes it takes a day or next for the contractor to call and they'd tell what available days they have. Also, the contractors have always been pleasant and their quality of work has been great.

    Will never recommend 2-10 Home Warranty and definitely will not be renewing our warranty next month. Our A/C is broken, it's a non-replaceable part, the unit needs to be replaced, but they say only the evaporator. What makes that frustrating is that the new evaporator won't work with the rest of the A/C unit. How is this in any way fixing my A/C? It's not, now I'm being told "if I had the supreme coverage" it would be covered, but our regular warranty doesn't cover "a mis-matched system". What a lousy warranty, either you fix what is broken so it actually works or you're not really warrantying anything!

    My experience with 2-10 Home Buyers was great. My realtor got the warranty for me and I've had them for two years now. I tried filing my claims online but their site doesn't seem to work that well, so I had to call them in. I have two good experiences and one that's not so great. One time, the sink had to be repaired and that was great. The contractor got in touch within a week. But the time when the water heater had to be repaired, that was not good at all. That took three weeks and I was without hot water in the middle of winter. Bad experience, but they finally got it right, so that was repaired.

    My latest experience with the garage door opener was very good. The contractor was there the next day, and I needed that because the garage door is a detached garage so I couldn't get my car out. The door would not open unless the garage door works. The contractor used a wired coat hanger and got the garage door opened. That was a bad situation but he did such a good job. It worked out really good. He said he was going to come back and install a little doohickey on the outside of the door so that if it ever happens again, I can use a key to get to the cord, which would allow me to pull and unlock the door manually. However, he hasn't come back yet. I have to call him and see if he's going to. Other than that, everything else has been pretty good. I would definitely recommend them even though I had one bad experience.

    So my AC unit failed on 7/22/16 and the week after, the DMV area temperature got up to 100 degree. I kept on calling and they were trying to help me as much as they can. Finally, they put my situation as an emergency and connect me with K&J Mechanical LLC. And this is when more issues arise. This K&J Mechanical was supposed to come out on 7/25 to look at the AC unit. I was at home and waited the whole day for him but he didn't show up.

    Then I called 2-10 to complain and he called me back and said that he sent someone out and called me but I wasn't home. This is ridiculous!!! My roommates and I were waiting at home because we were suffering with the heat wave. I kept calling but he never picked up his phone. Called 2-10 again and they got ahold of him.

The contractors usually contact me the same afternoon from the time I filed the claim. There were instances wherein it took longer and I called the vendor when that happened. And their vendors have been good. I only had one problem which happened a couple of years ago. When I first called about our in-house vacuum, they didn't have a vendor that suit my needs. But a couple of years later, they already have a vendor so he came and it worked out.

He claims that he’s on the phone for hours waiting, and I had to intercede to get his approval. They are regular providers but they still have to get some sort of approval. In fact, our recent experience was with the air conditioner guy, and getting an approval delayed us for a day. It was a hundred degrees and the air conditioner was not working, so it seemed like an eternity. It’d be nice to be a little faster on those because we live in a hot area.

    When it comes to the little things, 2-10 will take care of it. They took care of a few parts on my 17 year old water heater up in the attic the first year I had the warranty on the house. The plumber told me I would need a new one eventually, but 2-10 wouldn't cover it until it leaked all the way down my walls. So much for preventative maintenance - 2-10 would end up spending less money if it covered it BEFORE it busts, rather than after it busts all over my sheetrock... But that's not how their business works. That's fine, they have to draw the line somewhere, and people abuse the system - I get it. My ticking time bomb of a water heater still hasn't broken, so I guess their entry level plumber did a decent enough job jimmying up my water heater.

    When it comes to the big things, though 2-10 wasn't there for me. I had not one, not two, but fifteen different contractors come and look at my A/C and heater. They all said the same thing - I was in for a large expense - and boy was it a large expense, at $8,000. I brought 2-10 in there a few days before I was to get the A/C and heat fixed by a third party, and 2-10's contractor says it's my thermostat. Uh, no. I have fifteen other contractors saying otherwise.

    After a month with no A/C in May in Houston, I was tired of bothering with contractors and 2-10, and sucked it up and bought myself the A/C and heater. I will emphasize this was not pre-existing. I had A/C and heater going great for six months after we bought the house and the warranty, and boom, spring/summer hit and it went. Mind you, I've been there done that with contractors, so I brought in more than a few to ensure I was getting the right story, the right price, and the right people to do it. My husband knew I was going to bring in more than a few, but he didn't know I was going to bring in THAT many. I am glad I did.

    Lesson - They'll be there for the small stuff, particularly plumbing, but save your money if you think they will cover the big stuff! Also, they didn't cover my icemaker, but you can get an upgraded package to cover that. I don't knock on 2-10 for that because they have to draw the line somewhere with people. That being said, I will NOT be renewing.

    I bought my house in August 2000 and I’ve had 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since then. My house is a two-story with a basement, and I have two HVAC systems, one for the upstairs and one for the downstairs. I’m 66 years old and I prefer talking to a live person so I submit claims over the phone and it's been acceptable and satisfactory. Most of the time, the reps on the phone are friendly and a contractor would contact me within 24 hours.

    The last contractor they sent out was good. But prior to that, I had three very negative experiences with the contractors that they sent out here and I have been very unhappy. In fact, a lot of service people will not contract with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty because they have a poor history of paying the contractors. The only reason I am still with them is because my builder made a colossal mistake with my upstairs HVAC system. It’s already been replaced three times, and it needs to be replaced again. I can’t afford to go to a different company because it would cost me too much money.

    One of the guys they sent out that replaced the upstairs unit had a blowtorch out by the side of my house, and he set it on fire. Then I had trouble with my hot water heater and the guy they sent out was trying to charge me double of what they’re saying that they’re going to pay. I’ve spoken with some of the supposedly higher-up and told them how dissatisfied I was, but it doesn’t do any good. I’m a retired elementary school teacher so I have very high standards and a hard time dealing with stupidity. It would be wonderful if they would try to do something to improve their service and their contractors, because I’m stuck with them as long as I’m in this house.

    Out of all the contractors that they have sent out here, there has only been two that I would say were acceptable. When I had them service my furnace, the guy they sent was very good. He came right away and did a good job. I wanted him to come back to check the upstairs unit. But, I had extremely negative experiences with them throughout the time. So for the most part, because now I have the $75 copay, if it’s something small, I don’t even go to them any more. I just pay out of pocket. The only thing I go to them for is major, like HVAC or the furnace. I also don’t go to them for plumbing because of the trouble I had with my hot water heater.

    I've had 2-10 for two and a half years now and it's worth the cost. The first time when I lived here, my outside compressor unit needed a circuit board. And so the service calls, both of ‘em, plus the cost of the part, were covered. That was a big relief. And then, a year and a half ago, my clothes dryer completely crapped out. They came and diagnosed it and ordered the new circuit board. They came back and installed it, and that was wonderful ‘cause that could’ve been $600 total. And that's about what I paid in annual premium, so that was really good.

    Then just this last winter, my outside compressor unit wasn’t heating properly. So he came out and diagnosed it and that was a long process. It took about a month to get the parts and he put a new compressor in, but the reversing valve was bad and that got a little bit bad. And then I had another call three months ago - same kind of problem with the heating. And that was a switch that he replaced fairly easily. But, overall, all those calls have been handled pretty well.

    However, the last service call I had the guy ended up charging me $100 and I have a $75 service fee agreement and I griped a little bit about that. He said, “Well, it’s ‘cause you live up on the mountain.” I wonder if 2-10 will give me that $25 difference in a credit towards a monthly premium. Overall, it's been a good thing to have.

    On Wednesday, June 29th, 2016 we had a storm that knocked out our power; it came back on the next morning after 6 am. We did not notice the refrigerator not cooling until the next day, however, which was July 1. I called 2-10 to talk about getting service. They assigned a work order and contractor to fix my problem. But they would be out on the 5th because of the holiday. When I did not hear anything by the 5th I called and the contractor notified me he did not service refrigerators because of the preparatory nature of the manufacturer making it hard to get information on their products. I in turn notified 2-10 who then set me up with Sears. But this appointment would be on the 12th. (Another week)

    On the 12th the tech came out and serviced the refrigerator then left saying he was satisfied that the fan he replaced would fix my problem, just give it time when the freezer cooled off the fan would kick in and cool off the refrigerator. The next morning after probably 15 hours the refrigerator was 57 degrees and the freezer side was around 45 degrees. I had placed a solo cup of water in the freezer to verify it was not anywhere near freezing inside my freezer.

    I called 2-10 again, all the while keep in mind each call usually takes an hour or so just to get to talk to someone, who then contacted Sears again and they said the earliest they could get there was the 27th. That would put me not having a refrigerator at a month. Have you ever lived out of a cooler for any length of time. It’s a pain. I declined and they found me another contractor and waived the deductible. This was Wednesday the 12th, the contractor was supposed to contact me. When he didn’t I tried him and his message box is full, I cannot reach him to verify anything. I also have tried 4 times to reach 2-10, waiting for 30 minutes or so each time. Who has that kind of time?

    Up to now 2-10 have been pretty helpful when I need them, but now you wait on hold listening to that awful music for at the very least an hour, they wear you down. I have had them for over 12 years and have used them 3 or 4 times, I am beginning to do the math. If I had put aside the $68 bucks a month I would have over $9700 bucks put away. It's something to think about. I guess the biggest aggravation is my inability to talk to someone at 2-10, or do anything at the website to get someone to return your call or e-mail.

    I was able to get the air conditioner to work. For some reason, there seemed to be a loose cable or something. I pressed against the box on the outside of my house and the air conditioner now works. Sorry for the bad review.

    Original Review: July 15, 2016

    I had the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for a year when I purchased my home in May of 2015. My air conditioning went out later in the summer of 2015. I called 2-10 and paid the $100 deductible to have a contractor come out. I was at work when they came out, so I had a friend at my house let them in. The contractor explained that the air conditioner should be under manufacture's warranty, which I found out was not true, since the air conditioner was only covered for the original homeowner. He still took my money though. I called 2-10 back, but when I did, it was later in the fall and too cold for my air conditioning to be tested.

    I called this spring (2016) to have my air conditioner serviced. I paid the deductible again. The contractor advised that my air conditioner has a leak, but that the warranty company wouldn't cover it because the leak was too small. He filled the unit up with Freon and told me that it should last a year or so before it ran out. I had to have the contractor come back and clean the unit with a hose. I was told that the air would work after that. A week or two later, it stopped working again. When I called 2-10 Home Warranty, I was told that they will not cover the repair on it because it has been over 30 days since my warranty expired, even though I had called to get this resolved well before my agreement expired.

    We have 2-10's coverage for 15 months now and we've called them for a claim two times now. They arranged somebody to come out and did the work. The contractors that have come were always pleasant and timely. Both times were for the same piece of equipment in the house and both of the guys who worked on it have told me that it should be done differently but that's all they were allowed to do. If it was fixed properly the first time, the second guy would've never had to come out. They're doing stopped-up work instead of truly fixing the problem and it's the company that’s requiring them to that. They will not approve the more permanent fix to be taken care of. They're not having the real work done. But in the long run, 2-10 is saving me money because both repairs would have been $1000 or more and I just paid a hundred bucks.

    I got 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty when I bought my house. For the latest couple of times that we submitted claims, we had a good experience. They came right out and they fixed everything that’s supposed to be fixed. The only gripe I have is when it took them two weeks to get our dryer fixed because they go through Sears. My wife is handicapped and that’s the reason I got 2-10, and I can't wait two weeks for my washer and dryer. Other than that, I’ve been satisfied with them. In fact, they replaced my air conditioner.

    2-10 Home Buyers Warranty came with the house when I bought it. The first claim I had was with the garage door a couple of years ago. It took six different times for the company to come out before they replaced the garage door opener, so that’s not good. And then, I had an emergency situation with a leak a couple of months ago and I couldn’t get an appointment for five days. They ended up fixing it, but I also had to pay for somebody else to come out, so that wasn’t good either. I don’t know how they work with their providers, but I'm weighing if it’s worth getting the bottom-of-the-barrel providers to be covered. I’m not sure if I’m going to renew once my contract is up.

    My home is 12 years old. In the last two years, I've had to call four times because the HVAC failed. It's always been my luck that it fails on a Friday so the 24 business hours response time puts me at Wednesday a.m. and that is just to get a call from the repair people to schedule a visit. And the call center response time is unacceptable. I know there's a heat wave but they should be set up to handle when "We are experiencing a high volume of calls." - which seems to always be the case. Last night I was on hold 45 min 4 sec before the call was disconnected. The second time I was on hold 29 min 17 sec. He did give me the phone number of the HVAC service company since it was a continuation of a previous work order but not much good to call them on a weekend.

    The last time that the local repair company came out, he told me that he was going to recommend that they replace the system instead of another patch. They authorized another patch. When the heat went out, I was lucky to have a gas fireplace and cat to keep me warm. It's a little more difficult to exist for days when the heat index is 104. Any food with oil goes rancid and forget having fresh fruit. Not to mention the discomfort of an inside temperature over 86 degrees. All of the companies may have the weak link of no service on a weekend and lengthy resolution but I plan to do some research before I renew.

    The 2-10 warranty came with the house that we bought and we've been using them for 9 years. We had problems with them wanting to pay for repairs on our HVAC system in the very beginning of us having the warranty. They thought that we hadn't lived here long enough and didn't want to cover it since we started having problems immediately after we moved in. They were acting like it was before the policy came into my name. 2-10 ended up paying some of the cost and my realtor actually paid the rest of it.

    We've had problems with our HVAC system since we've lived here and lots of times the company they send out are not quality companies. We have to go with a different company and pay for it out of our own pocket because the ones 2-10 sent didn't fix it. But there are also several times, like the last time that we had someone come out a month ago, where the contractors do a great job. We never know what we're going to get with this warranty company. Nevertheless, it's nice to have as an available option. It makes it more affordable in case something goes majorly wrong.

    We have had this warranty for over a year and a half. We have had the AC system break multiple times. 2-10 has sent someone 8 times since we moved in on 4/15. These dates - 5/8/15, 6/20/15, 6/22/15, 7/4/15, 9/1/15 and again the system broke on June 2nd of this year. They sent the same company as usual, who took 2 weeks to fix a broken condenser. I paid the 75$ copay and an additional $220 of "non-covered services". However they failed to go into the attic to check out the entire system and in less than 24 hours the system broke again. On June 17th they finally had a new company come, who diagnosed that the attic system had an evaporator leak, and that had cause the condenser to blow again. This technician diagnosed us as needing an entire new system. Our portion would be $1200 for "non-covered" services which we agreed to with no issue. However 2-10 wanted a second opinion.

    First they tried to send "Air Design" which was the company who had been out 6 times already in a year, and who did not fix the problem but still charged me over $200. I refused and they set us up with a new company. On Friday July 1st the appointment was scheduled. The contractor assured us he was coming. No call, no-show. I finally got him to answer a text at about 7pm and he said he wasn't coming, he would come over the weekend (July 4th holiday). We sat at home the entire weekend, no call no-show.

    Contacted him on Tuesday at 10am and he again said he was coming that day. No call, no-show all day. Contacted 2-10 twice during the day and they assured me he was still coming. Waited all night and never showed or even bothered to return a call or text. At this point I have been without an AC in 100 degree Atlanta heat for over a month. Not to mention having paid the 75 dollar copay twice this month and 5 times prior to that. When I call the company I sit on hold from 45 minutes to an hour.

The main reason we're keeping them is because we’ve had it for so long that we're expecting something big to go out and we have older appliances. Air conditioning claims are frustrating because they almost always happen during the summer and we have to get creative to get someone to come out in a timely manner. Usually, the contractors want to come during office hours. Last time, I called at 5:00 on a Friday and ended up catching the contractor and paying an extra $75 so we wouldn’t have to wait until Monday morning. In a 95 degree Florida heat, that’s unacceptable.

    As a real estate professional I recommend home buyers warranties to purchasers with whom I work. The brokerage with which I am associated has a joint marketing relationship with 2-10 Warranty so I started recommending them to my buyers. The first claim submitted by my buyers has turned into a nightmare. I was helping my buyers submit a claim for a backed-up drain on a Saturday. I contacted the 2-10 warranty claim line and was on hold for over 2 hours when I finally gave up and tried the sales line where I got through immediately. They said they could activate a claim and send a plumber out. When the plumber did not show up I called back on the claim line and again waited for over 1 hour before again giving up and calling the sales line. They gave me the name and number of the plumbing company with which they placed the order.

    The plumber told me they did not service the area of this home and were not coming. I again called the sales line and told the operator that the plumber was not coming because they did not serve my area. The 2-10 rep told me they have no plumbers who can service my area and that I should call an "out of network" plumber and that after the plumber evaluates the trouble to have him call the claim line to get authorization to correct the problem. Of course that's ludicrous since he would also have to wait and wait and wait on hold. So I called a plumber in the local area and they went out and fixed the problem at a cost of $1,004.60. I then called the sales line again to get the authorization code for the plumber and was told that they could not issue the code and I would have to call the claim number. I tried and tried to get through on the claim line Saturday night, all day Sunday, and Monday morning.

    I finally called the sales line again and asked to speak to a supervisor. She told me she would transfer the call to the claims dept and would stay on the line with me until claims answered. It took her over an hour to get anyone on the claim line. When I finally got someone from claims I was told that they would need to talk to the plumbing company and they would call back. I gave them the plumbing company's number and waited for their call back. Two days later I called the plumber to ask if they had talked to 2-10 warranty and was told they had. I again called the 2-10 claims line and waited for over 1 hour before giving up and calling the sales line and again speaking to the supervisor. She again transferred me to the claims line where finally I was told that they would only pay $68 for the $1,004.60 service because that is what their "in network" plumber would have charged.

    The problem is that they had no "in network" plumber to call. This is total garbage since there is no plumber in the state that charges less than $90 per hour for a standard service call plus a trip charge plus an additional emergency trip charge for night and weekend emergency service. I have dealt with other warranty companies before using 2-10 and after this experience I recommend using ANY other company besides 2-10. 2-10 policies and attitudes are the worst imaginable!

    I have had insurance with 2-10 for the 17 years I’ve lived in the house. I called up and I got the contractor I wanted that has the service contract who deals with 2-10. The lady was very nice and professional. In fact, one of the best calls I’ve ever had. The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the fact that I should have had a new air conditioning unit and 2-10 wanted to put some Stop Leak to try to see if they can fix it. It’s only been a couple of weeks and it’s working so far, but whether it’s gonna last, that’s the problem.

    The company Precision Heating and Air said, “The unit’s pretty much shot when it’s at this stage.” It was leaking in various places outside in the unit and you can’t pinpoint one leak versus another. 2-10 negotiated it and said, “We’re not paying for a new unit. You put Stop Leak in there and you just run it through. If there are any leaks anywhere, it’s supposed to stop them all up." The scenario with that is you don’t know if it’s gonna work or not. It might last the rest of the season or it might not, or it could break in the next five minutes. I can’t trust the unit, so if I have to go somewhere there’s no way I’d be able to leave that unit on. It would flood in my basement otherwise. I am totally dissatisfied and I wouldn’t recommend 2-10 to anybody after this.

    I heard about 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty from a friend who bought a house in North Carolina. She told me that's the company she went with. It sounded like a good plan so I called them up. The last time I went over and called them, it's good that they do come right away. That's a good service. But when their person came over, he had to move my dryer because it wasn't working. It was leaning against that little part that puts the air into the machine. All he did was move the machine, fix the crinkled part and it cost me a $100. That part was not very good paying $100 no matter what. He didn't even go into the vents and service them. I could have had a service for $75.

    Also, they told me that if I wanted to renew it, they were gonna give me a bonus if I renewed it before May. I asked how much it was and they told me they raised it to $500. The first year was just a complimentary and then after that, they will raise it. The bonus would bring it down to $450, but it was over by $100 more than what I spent last year. I'm not going to renew it because it's a bit steep, especially since they gave me a $100 deductible.
