    There were actually two service issues simultaneously, hot water heater would not stay lit and air conditioning unit quit. Both issues were addressed quick as possible, with a slight delay due to weekend and parts for hot water heater, but resolution good/timely. Air-conditioning unit was a quick/professional repair. Very satisfied with 2-10 Home Warranty! THANK YOU.

    I have a home warranty with this company. I was informed there was a gas leak in the house. Location of the leak was not known. My warranty states heating, interior heating, gas leaks are covered. The company refused to send someone out to address the problem.

    I have been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty since 2010, when I bought my house new. I have never asked for a discount since I have been a loyal customer until 2014. I called 2-10 and asked for a discount since I had no claims the yr before, and they gave me a $99.00 discount. I received my renewal for 2015, which included my renewal along with the deduction I was granted for my 2014 renewal!!! So 2-10 was able to charge me the deduction of $99.00 a year after one of their rep gave it to me as a courtesy. I talked to management and they were not willing to do anything to help me. I even e-mailed the company through their website and heard nothing. This is pretty sorry customer service for a client that has had a handful of little claims and always paid my premiums.

    Ms. Kielpinksi, we would like to thank you for renewing your service agreement. In 2014, you received the $100 discount as a one-time gesture of goodwill for being a loyal customer. This year, the rate of your service agreement had increased $50 from the base price of the previous year and the discount was not applied. The service agreement was renewed online and the breakdown of the costs were provided. The Supreme Protection option and Deluxe Appliance option were both selected to be purchased at an additional cost, the latter costing an additional $99. To clarify, the $100 discount you received last year was not charged on your recent renewal. We are sorry that we were unable to apply another discount to your renewal as it was mentioned as a one-time courtesy.

    We have been working with 2-10 Home Warranty for 3 weeks. Our air conditioning wasn't blowing cool air. We called 2-10 Warranty and they had ExtraordinAir come out and add Freon with 24 hours, which we were pleased about. In ExtraordinAir report it states the type of Freon that was put in along with a leaking coil. After 1 week our unit wasn't blowing cool air and then completely stop working. We called 2-10 Warranty again to have ExtraordinAir come out and fix the problem. After the technician evaluated the situation our blow motor went completely out. It has been 3 weeks since this incident. We contacted 2-10 warranty numerous times to check the status on this blow motor part. We have a 6 week old newborn and we are staying in a home with no air conditioning during these extreme hot temperatures.

    We were told today the part will come in and be fixed today. Again, We call and again we have no part and our air hasn't Been fixed. We will have to stay in a hotel due to this dangerous weather conditions of high heat. We are very upset and want results. We shouldn't have to leave our home after 3 weeks of no air because a part wasn't ordered and delivered in a timely matter. We have filed a claim to customer care.

    Ms. Singer, we are very sorry for the amount of time it has taken to get your A/C unit repaired. As of July 20th, we have had a dedicated manager involved with your service request to ensure that your A/C is repaired as quickly as possible. After the blower motor was replaced, it was decided that the evaporator coil would need to be replaced due to the leak becoming present again. Due to the delays, we have paid for half of the out-of-pocket costs that are not covered with this repair as a gesture of goodwill. The contractor is scheduled to make the replacement on Tuesday. We will follow up that day to make sure that the repairs are completed. Thank you.

    Please be very careful if you are researching companies to add protection to your home. Yes, when the representatives are initially setting you up for their contract they are super nice. After several attempts to get a contractor to my home for a/c issues one was finally sent . The contractor said there was nothing mechanically wrong with my unit. That the Thermostat was set incorrectly. Not true. Called 2-10 to send out another contractor. Was told that they did not have anyone available in my area. Was told to hire someone out-of network and I would be reimburse for the trip charge. After sending invoice for the trip charge I was told my reimbursement was denied. Be careful!!!

    I've been with 2-10 Home Warranty for about 10 years now. The AC unit in my home in SC went down 10 days ago. 2-10 sent out a contracted technician who determined the issue was the compressor. He placed the order, I approved it and the tech informed me it will take up to 4 days to return for him to install it. That was Friday, July 10th. Mind you, I have a tenant residing in my home. It is extremely hot and humid in SC. Why does it take 4 days to get a compressor shipped? Can't they find one locally?

    Anyway, my property manager checked with another company that is not contracted with 2-10 and they had a compressor ready to install that same day but it would cost me $$$ and 2-10 would not reimburse me. I don't understand why 2-10 is so slow and this seems to encourage the tech they hire to be slow as well. I say that because I just found out a few minutes ago that the compressor has arrived but the tech can not install it until Wednesday, July 22nd. That makes it 12 days in the heat or in a hotel. Are they going to reimburse me for any of the hotel stay? So far when I ask, all I get is silence. This is ridiculous. I am up for renewal in August. I am shopping around for better and speedy service!

    I was finally able to find a service provider in my area. 2-10 went out of their way to make sure to pay my service provider over the phone and ordered all parts in a timely manner.

    They were received within a week and the company was able to come out and fix our air conditioning unit. The struggle was trying to find a provider in our area, but once I found one, everything went smoothly. The provider even let me know that he is working to get approved by 2-10 to work with future warranty holders in the future. I am overall pleased with the result.

    Original Review: July 20, 2015

    I have been working with 2-10 for weeks now to locate a service provider. The closest to my area is 1.5 hours away and all service providers contacted declined to service our air conditioner. We were given this warranty when we purchased our home in March. I was happy to have it, but am now dissatisfied with the service. The phone operators have been courteous and understanding with my frustration, but still they have been unable to assist us. I was authorized to get an out of network service provider. I have spent countless hours tracking down contractors and ultimately being declined because they are unwilling to work with the warranty companies due to past bad experiences.

    I am now stuck and not able to find my own provider. They assure me that 2-10 has put out other calls to find their own service contractors and I am awaiting the call backs to see if anyone will accept our job. I just wanted to share my experience and let someone know that we have been waiting weeks and I am employed with a family and do not have the time to call around for providers while I am working during the day. Please see if anything can be done to help me out and find a 2-10 service provider to service our home. Thanks!

From the day we purchased our home and the warranty, every time I have interacted with someone from the company they go out of their way to ensure I am helped efficiently and in a friendly manner. We had our refrigerator and AC go out within the same week. They had people working to come repair both within a few hours of submitting our claim. When a technician didn't show up for an appointment they called and let me know they were on it and got someone else out within 3 hours! I am very impressed! Keep it up 2-10!

    I have owned a house in Alabama for 7 years. During this time I have had 2-10 Home Warranty. We have had to conduct service calls on the AC unit 7 times (3 times since April of this year). The recurring theme is the Contractors come to the house, "fix" the issue (get the AC running) and then within a few days or weeks, the AC breaks again. To me, conducting 7 'fixes' on a system means we aren't getting to the root problem. 2-10 says they will look into it, and the contractor will only work with 2-10 and I never hear back from 2-10. Bottom line, 2-10 doesn't seem to care about the issue or that it keeps happening. They will not exercise the part of my warranty to have the AC unit replaced. Do not use this company. They do not care about their customers or their product.

We have reviewed your claim history and see that numerous attempts at repairing your air conditioner have been made since 2008. The diagnosis given by these independent service contractors have all indicated that the unit could be repaired, so our company has authorized these contractors to complete the repairs. We appreciate you making us aware of your issue and have made a special note in your service agreement to consider replacement if your A/C system fails again.

    The warranty on my house is not finished yet, and I don't know what 2-10 Home Buyers' problem is. They've only done the first phase which was the water heater. They've never called me back to do the next phase. It would be the air conditioner unit and the heating unit in the house. I've never heard from them again. It's not finished yet. They clang to saying that they were very busy and they would get back to me, but nobody's called to get back to me. The weather's been very warm down here and I understand that. But at least follow up on the customer to say we're going to get that. But they haven't even followed up with me. I'm not too happy.

    They started off good. The girl at Home Depot that sold the contract to me, which I haven't paid for yet, was phenomenal. She was unbelievable. In fact, she was so good. I went and got the store manager involved and just said "This woman that represents your company is phenomenal!" I base somebody on their personality and the way they come across. I've been in sales my whole life and this girl could sell sand to Arabs. She was wonderful.

    The gentleman that was out here was phenomenal! He was very meticulous and was very, very good. If you have his name, he needs to be promoted or more money or something. He knew what he was talking about. But the rest of it, I'm really upset because I want to get it checked. I've got a warranty on the house here with all the utilities and I want to make sure everything's in working order and they're not going to fix it unless it's broke. If I know something's going to break, the warranty I have with the house, they'll fix it at no cost.

    We have been paying 2-10 HBW for about two years for our house in Florida and have been paying 2-10 HBW for over 8 years for our condo in New York. Since August of last year, our air conditioning unit has stopped working six times in Florida and the warranty company has sent out a technician each time and said they fixed the unit. Every time they say it is fixed it breaks down again. June of this year, we thought they fixed it "again" but it broke down again 10 days later. They said the compressor was faulty and had to order a new one. That was 8 days ago and the part still has not arrived. Keep in mind, this is in Naples Florida, the air conditioning capital of the world. Air conditioning parts are a dime a dozen down here and they can't come up with a compressor in a couple of days?

    It's been 8 days and we still do not have AC in Florida (you know it's humid and in the 90's every day). We keep calling the warranty company and they keep assuring us that the part is on the way, yet when we ask for details, such as a FedEx tracking number they refuse to give us any information. Tonight, the warranty company hung up on my wife Sue, who is the nicest person in the world. Well we are tired of this and this company. 2-10 HBW (Home Buyers Warranty) company has been taking our money for over 8 years and now when we have a problem and we need their help, they are refusing to fix the problem correctly. We want our AC fixed tomorrow and we want it fixed correctly! We have diligently paid 2-10 HBW (Home Buyers Warranty) company for 8 years and 2 years for both our contracts and all we want is 2-10 HBW (Home Buyers Warranty) company to fix our unit correctly now.

    On May 12th I called 2-10 letting them my AC could not keep up with the heat. The repairman showed up on May 13th and found multiple issues with my unit and that it needed to be replaced. 2-10 agreed with the diagnosis one week later and I have been waiting ever since. It is now July 8th, two months later, and still no resolution. On July 2nd the contractor called to say they would install on the 3rd as they are going to pick up the parts from 2-10.

    On July 3rd contractor called at 9 am to say that when they went to get the new unit, 2-10 cancelled the order and that I needed to call 2-10 to expedite. I have called every day since and all I get is the run around on how they can't find the tracking number from their parts department and that it is being researched. I've spoken to several "managers" upon escalation and all are apologetic and promise to call me that afternoon for a status update, but they never do.

    In the mean time, my house is extremely hot and humid. My textured ceilings are failing and falling down. I haven't had a decent nights sleep in close to two months. I sleep on sheets that are damp. My towels don't dry and nobody at 2-10 seems to care.

    I heard about 2-10 from my mother. Last year, she bought a home and her realtor asked her if she wanted a home warranty and she did, and that's the one that they recommended to her. So I just decided to go with the same one when I bought a home this year. I had no problem at all with my recent claim experience. They made arrangements for somebody to come out and look at my air conditioner. They came out at the time that they were supposed to and everything's good. I paid the fee that we agreed upon in my contract.

    In my first call to their claims representative, I had a little problem with the fact that they showed me still in the pending situation because I had paid for the home warranty through my closing cost and the title company had not sent the money yet to 2-10. But the rep on the phone let me know what I needed to know and the very next day, it was all straightened out and I made my claim, and within two days I had someone out here. So I was satisfied with that and the quality of repair done by the team that they sent out was good.

    Before you purchased a home warranty from 2-10 consider yourself WARNED!!! We have had an issue with our A/C since June 15th. It is June 29th and 2-10 have yet to honor our A/C service request. They sent out a repairman from AIR DESIGN Heating & Air. The repairman did not speak English. The work order was translated to me via cell phone from a rep in his office. This company tried to scam us out of additional funds for services that was not needed. The Air Design rep via cell phone informed me that the coils needed to be cleaned before freon could be added, mind you we had the coils cleaned prior to them coming out because we thought initially that was the problem.

    I contacted 2-10 to make them aware of the issue of trying to collect additional funds, 2-10 asked me to send in pics of the invoice that we paid for the coils' cleaning to support what I was saying was true. We emailed pics of the A/C unit inside and out. I was told by 2-10 that they would no longer use Air Design as a vendor. Fast forward, we were advised that another company would be out. The second A/C company came out and said that we needed freon BUT could not do the work until they get approval from 2-10. This company plays the cat and mouse game by sending another company out, this will prolong fixing the repairs and honoring the warranty. We have called multiple times and have yet to have someone from 2-10 to make contact with us.

    We have own several homes in the past and decided to use 2-10 home warranty from the suggestion of our realtor. I will be contacting the realtor asking her NOT to recommend this company to anyone. If you read the reviews from others... believe me, WE can't all be wrong. We have had record temps in the state of GA and I have an elderly parent that is home in the hot peak hours of the day. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Run like fire from this COMPANY.

They approved to have outside network contractor to do work said I would be reimbursed $500.

    At 7:30 PM the contractor G Servicing came to my house and I wasn't home and told my 14 year old daughter that I told him it was OK to take pics of the side of the house, which is so not true. Then he came back to door and demanded the $75 service call fee after they didn't show up and did nothing. G Servicing worker gave my daughter a hard time.

They are fraud and make money for doing nothing and leave the homeowners with the bill that 2-10 should reimburse for but trust their fraudulent contractors over hardworking homeowners that earn their money in an honest manner.

    Been with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty for ten years. When submitting claims, they seemed to handle everything to my satisfaction. They set up the appointment with the contractor and the contractor usually contacts us to set up a time when they can come by and do whatever it is that they need to do.

    My HVAC failed unexpectedly and I was forced to replace a major portion of the system on short notice or be without air conditioning in 95 degree heat. After repeated attempts via telephone and email, I was unable to get a response from 2-10 Home Warranty. When I finally was able to talk to 2-10 Home Warranty (after 30 minutes on hold), they told me that I am not eligible for reimbursement because I did not obtain 2-10 authorization before having the work done. 2-10 Home Warranty is obviously operating a scam and is taking advantage of their customers when customers are in a vulnerable position.

    As soon as I have another 30 minutes (or longer) to sit on hold, I will be requesting a refund for the remainder of what I paid for their "warranty." Also, I will be contacting my realtor to ensure that he is aware of this scam and pursues a legitimate home warranty company for his customers. NOTE: During my conversation with 2-10 Home Warranty, I asked to speak with a manager. Once again, I was put on hold for an extended period and I finally gave up.

We've been in a heat wave for the last 3 weeks in my area and it's been 85 degrees inside my house. They use incompetent repair contractors who need 3 weeks to get parts.

Although usually polite (I have spoken to many) the customer service people have been unable to get this to happen.... including today telling me that the part has been returned yesterday. The new one will probably be ordered tomorrow (the 18th). They are also unsure when we can expect that to arrive, as well as unable to tell me if it will be expedited because they ordered the wrong part or not.

    I started out with another provider and their service level was not that good so I went with 2-10. I submit claims over the phone and the last two times I used them I got to interact with the contractors. I called them on a Friday and they called me back Monday morning telling that the contractor was not in my area and that I have to find somebody else. I typed in the zip code and it's supposed to let them know where I live and pick the right person but it didn't. So I talked to one of the 2-10 reps and she had it straightened out and the repair was done that week.

    With the second one, almost the same thing happened. I got a call saying that they're gonna be out there on Wednesday, but didn't show up. Their repairman quit and they didn't tell anybody. I'm sitting at home and waiting for him. The next day the owner of the company came out and did the repair, very apologetic, and did a good job. I’m a realtor, so I’ve dealt with their products with other companies all day long in my office with other agents, and I don't seem to have nearly a big problem that other agents have when they use other companies. They only need to work on a couple of glitches.

The repairs failed 10 days later. Apparently 2-10 will only authorize a certain amount for repairs. If the repair cost exceeds what's authorized then a stall tactic of cat & mouse is implemented. They claim to contact you when the parts (although the technician told me he had the part at the office) arrive with no turn-around-time for an order, delivery or repair date even though temperatures may soar to over 90 degrees.

    Called in for A/C service. Received contractor info who responded in a timely fashion. Technician came on June 3, 2015. Based on the technician's diagnosis and his immediate call into 2-10 HBW, we were told both of our A/C units (1 upstairs/1 downstairs) needed replacing. At the time the technician was at our home, 2-10 called us and gave us the estimate for the replacement. We were told replacement was covered however, we had to pay for the disposal costs ($120 total). We were asked if we approve of the replacement based on this out-of-pocket cost and we provided such approval. The rep informed us the order will be placed. We were then ensured by the rep that no additional costs would be incurred and that was all we needed to worry about.

    Then on the morning of June 9, 2015 I checked the status and was informed the parts are in the process of being ordered and we should receive a call for installation. On that same day June 9 (a few hours later) we receive a call from a rep confirming that we understand that not only do we have to pay the $120 but we also have to an additional $25 for some uncovered service he could barely understand himself. He puts me on hold to check with a supervisor and returns to the call to say it's only $120 and I again confirm that's correct, I agree to pay the disposal fee.

    I then get another call a few more hours later on the same day and a gentlemen explains that I really have to pay $280 for each unit ($566) and what was told to me all those other times was incorrect. After much back and forth arguing I asked to speak to a manager and she says sorry for all the incorrect information. I really have to pay the $566 and I should understand that there has been a 24hr updated in the cost (clearly that is not 24 hrs from June 3rd) and the company will not honor the original quote. My request of the company for a second opinion on the replacement of both units is denied and I'm told they could buy me out and I go figure it out. This is not the first time that we have consistently paid monthly for a warranty with poor service when you actually need to use it! Ughhh!!!

He suggested that "sometimes we have to let a problem get worse before we can detect the problem" (I have never heard of so much bull in my life).

    2-10 wanted someone to repair the drywall from the hole that the contractor cut. I informed them that the leak is not fixed. They were persistent in telling me that it was. I had to send pictures and call customer care on three occasions. The bad part about this is I just kicked out 75.00 because the plumber stated that it was a HVAC problem.

    Contacted 2.10 HBW regarding leaking drain pipe. A plumber was dispatched to "diagnose" the problem. The technician informed me where the leak is coming from (kitchen drain) and that he can't do anything more because A/C duct work was in the way. Their company does not remove duct work. The tech. called 2.10 HBW to inform them of the problem. He told me that 2.10 will call me back. Waited the ever present 24 hour deadline. After 36 hours I called 2.10. I asked them if the removal of the A/C duct work removal is covered. The associate informed me that she needs to e-mail customer care for that information. (Silly me for thinking I was talking to customer care.) I asked when I could expect a return call and she said (you guessed it) 24 hours. Next day received an automated survey call regarding 2.10 HBW. I hung up and called again.

    This associate looked the work order up and said I was not covered for the duct work. After a few expletives, I said "why was I not informed that from previous phone call?" He didn't know why. So, I had ductwork removed. Called plumber and said I have the ductwork removed. Made an appointment. The plumber comes out and says this will take some time as we need to cut a hole under the sink and then cut pipe. I said fine, we have 2.10 HBW and that I already paid deductible for this work order. He wasn't sure they could finish in 1 day (it was 2:30 pm.). He called his office and 2.10. He was informed by 2.10 that they would not authorize the work because of the price of the estimate. The associate explained that their plumber said a "Fernco" would fix the problem. A "Fernco" is a company that manufactures clamping devices to secure piping of various sizes.

    That would be fine for quick fix, but I am talking about galvanized pipe that is rusted at a threaded joint. It would be like breaking your leg and living with a splint. It would not permanently fix the problem as the rust would continue to oxidize the pipe. Eventually it would give. The plumber was also informed that 2.10 will not reimburse them for time it would take to access the pipe under the sink. So using the medical analogy again, you can fix my broken leg as long as you don't cut off my clothes or remove my shoes. I knew from reading the pamphlet that if they have to remove any of the wall or floor that 2.10 would not pay for replacement. But I did not expect them to say that they would not pay for the plumber's time to gain access to the plumbing.

    My wife spoke with 2.10 to explain that we removed the duct work and we are without A/C and kitchen sink. 2.10 said they want a second opinion. They even quoted the paragraph in the contract that explains that right. My wife called the selling realtor's rep. to inform of the theme of the problems. 2.10 then calls back (voicemail) and said they will try and make arrangements to have 2nd opinion. Call us in the morning. My wife called @ 11:30, and was told that they were unable to make arrangements. We will call when arrangements are accomplished. My wife asked how long. Maybe 2 hours. I wait 2.5 hours. I was told arrangements have yet to be made and they will call back. Guess what, the 2nd contractor called to set an appointment for the next day. Then 20 minutes later 2.10 calls to say the contractor will call to make arrangements. Frustration level 12.

    Bullet points.

    1. Research Home Buyer Warranty programs Before buying a house. You are not required to buy the selling realtor's warranty.
    2. Contact the home contractors / maintenance company you trust and get recommendations.

    3. During the home inspection, if you even think you see water or water stains anywhere, contact a trusted plumber for inspection beyond what home inspector does. It will cost you less up front then after the fact. (My mistake).

    Do not purchase the home buyers warranty from 2-10. In my opinion, 2-10 is a fraudulent company. I hope my review will keep people from buying a worthless service. I have a microwave that will not stay on for more than 5 minutes at a time and a dishwasher that will not run. I have been in appliance purgatory for 5 months and counting. I just want to have a microwave and dishwasher that works. I pay almost $1000 a year for the warranty and $100 per appliance that needs to be serviced. When you call 2-10 for a work order they in turn contract the job to a local company. This is where the aggravation begins.

    For the first year I used their services one time which was for the microwave. When the repair technician came out to look at the microwave he convinced my wife into thinking that the back plate on the microwave had to be removed so air flow could help cool down the microwave. That made sense to my wife and myself but the technician did not test out the microwave before he left. When I got home I tested the microwave and it was doing the same thing which was not staying on for more than 5 minutes at a time. I then scheduled them to come out a second time. By this time the dishwasher was not working. So two separate technicians were dispatched. I was told once again that the microwave was not working because an air flow issue and it was not covered under the warranty. This is exactly what they told my wife the first time.

    The technician did not bother to troubleshoot the issue thoroughly and seemed annoyed that I didn't accept his diagnosis. I showed the technician that the microwave had sufficient air flow because the vent on the outside of the house is fully open when the microwave is in use. The technician stated that all he could do is turn the fan in the microwave around so it is blowing into the house but it would cost an additional $60. I refused the service because I felt like that would not solve the issue. As far as the dishwasher goes it seemed to be a bad control panel. I then had to schedule another service date for the technician to come out with the new part and replace the broken component. This ended up being a nightmare because the service date had to be rescheduled due to weather. 2-10 decided to set a new date without my knowledge or consent.

    Ultimately I was without a dishwasher for an additional 3 weeks and I had to request a day off work in order to be accommodate their work schedule. The control panel was eventually replaced. After the technician finished I attempted to use the dishwasher. It was once again doing the same thing as before. At this point I was disappointed and frustrated but I understand that no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. After a couple weeks I decided to call 2-10 again and set up an appointment to have someone else look at the dishwasher and microwave. They dispatched what I would consider a knowledgeable technician from another company. I started to explain to him that another company came out but never fixed what was wrong with the appliances originally. He then informed me that he was not allowed to work on any appliances that had not been fully resolved by the initial company.

    So once again nothing was repaired. I then had to call 2-10 again and schedule the original company to come out and repair my appliances. They dispatched the same technician that came out before and he gave me the same diagnosis. The technician determined that the dishwasher had a faulty door latch which was not identified previously. He refused to troubleshoot the microwave because he had already given his analysis to 2-10. At this point I had enough. I then called 2-10. After being on the phone for over an hour with 2-10 management they agreed to have a different technician come out and inspect the appliances.

    At this point I am going to buy a new microwave and hope that the faulty door switch solves the dishwasher problem. If you enjoy wasting your money and time, look no further. They are happy to serve you with their world winning discontentment and frustration. I will not be purchasing the warranty again and I hope that no one ever has to experience what I did with this detestable company.

    Notified 2-10 company on 04/28/2015 for serious plumbing repair request. Was immediately assigned a service contractor with a notation that the contractor would contact me within 24 hours (work order #**). 24 hours passed, then 48 hours passed... no contact from anyone. I called a local plumber who arrived same day (04/30/2015) and repaired problem, at my considerable expense. Service contractor for 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (Moad Services) contacted me on 05/01/2015 at 4:52 pm to try to schedule the repair. When I told them they were suppose to contact me within 24 hours of the request, the female call taker got a nasty attitude with me concerning my complaint. I will be requesting a prorated refund on this warranty service. This was a waste of money... and inexcusable horrible customer service. Take your business elsewhere.

    When I bought my home it came with a 2/10 home buyers warranty or else I never would have gotten one to start with. That being said my heat pump doesn't work right so I call the warranty company and they assure me that the max I will have to pay is $100, so they set up an appt. for a hvac man to come out. Two weeks later I haven't heard from them so I call and they tell me that I will have to pay $200 more for disposal fees to dispose of the coil that he hauls to junk yard and sells for more money.

    I checked with a friend who does installs heat pumps and he says there are no such fees in North Carolina and also a fee to dispose of my old coolant which has already been lost because the coil leaks to start with that’s why we are replacing it to start with. Anyway they wouldn't let me use my ac man, so I guess they share in the fees I am charged, I have prepaid legal fees so I am going to contact them to see about checking into this company. I didn't get to see it but a friend at work said our local news station (13 wlos Asheville nc) ran a story where they are investigating them also.

    The home I purchased came with one year of 2-10. What a waste of the previous owner's money. I had serious A/C issues, quoted at over $1000 to fix by multiple technicians and all that 2-10 would pay is 400. They suggested a temporary fix which the technician even said they would not put their name on. Their simple solution was to send ANOTHER technician, pro-longing the fix. Keep in mind I have a two year old living in this home so extreme heat is not an option. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY. POOR CUSTOMER CUSTOMER. POOR PRODUCT.

    We will not be renewing our home warranty with 2-10 due to the horrible logistics of processing a claim. I called in a service (leaking and non-functioning water heater) on April 6th. I was given a contractor who could only be available on the 10th. I called again and was able to get one that day. I agreed to the $75 service fee. I agreed (after calling 3x to the non-covered charges) and we are still waiting for a damn water heater to be delivered to the contractor so that they can then schedule an install.

    Meanwhile our neighbors who have American Home Shield had same issue and their water heater was replaced the SAME DAY. We have 3 kids and I've been boiling water and running it upstairs for 10+ days while 2-10 lollygags to get a water heater delivered. Absurd!!

    Today, we have been without heat for 19 days after filing a claim. 2-10 has not provided a part and will not authorize either the contractor or us as homeowners to purchase the part needed. The difference according to them is $100.00. Today, they claimed that the part had been received by the repairing contractor. I immediately called the contractor and he informed me that he did receive a part that he had been waiting for more than two weeks for, but it was not for my unit, rather another customer. Upon calling 2-10 back, requesting to speak with a supervisor, I was hung up on.

    For the last two weeks of this nightmare, 2-10 has stated the same thing, "We will have to ask parts to track the piece." I have no belief that they will be able to track a piece that they claim is already in the hands of the contractor. I am left with little choice but to assume the cost of repairs and pursue through legal channels recovery of the cost of repair.

    The heating system in my home failed to work and 2-10 was contacted. An individual was sent out. He told me what to do to fix the issue. Since this was Sunday we had to wait until a hardware store opened for me to get what was needed. He left us with the heat not working, during the coldest day, after demanding his $75.00 fee. I was able to fix it myself later that afternoon. Unfortunately the heating system malfunctioned again approximately a month later. We contacted 2-10 again. Because of the circumstances surrounding the last experience we requested a different person to come to our home.

    Here is where it stands three months later and several calls, a lot of time expended with no resolution.

On the 3rd visit, he fixed what he came to do (fix the leak in an upstairs bathtub which floods our laundry room below) and not only has the problem not been solved, but we let our guard down and the dry wall he cut out to "fix" the problem is destroyed too. That being said, 2-10 is forcing us to continue working with him, will charge it an additional copay to work with a different contractor, and didn't cover the entire cost to fix it to begin with. I will NEVER EVER work with 2-10 or this contractor again.

    This home warranty came with the house I purchased in April 2014. I have called on three separate occasions for three different problems. Nothing was ever covered. First call was regarding gas stove. After having the gas company come out, I called to notify 2-10 that my gas stove smelled of gas. After having their technician come to the house to notify me that it wouldn't be cover I had to go and buy a new stove.

    Second call was for leak in my basement. Technician came out and told me that the leak was from bathroom and caulking needed to be done. How he knew that from the 5 minutes he spent at my house was amazing. Of course, that was not covered. Later found out the leak was from cracked pipe in the kitchen. Third problem was that the exhaust fan in bathroom was not working. Technician came out and said that the fan was not properly installed. Of course, not covered. My opinion is that this company is a joke. After calling them I was told that even though the contract stated that these would be covered, I should have read the fine print on the Terms and Conditions page to find out if it would truly be covered.

    We have a 2-10 Warranty and had an issue with a dishwasher that wouldn't stop filling, and began flooding the middle and lower levels of our home. The shut-off valve was stuck, and per the rules you aren't allowed to touch anything prior to calling 2-10 to send a service contractor out. Well we did just that, got our confirmation number and all but nobody showed up, ever.

    I had to fix it myself since our house was flooding, and simply replaced the dishwasher myself for $250. I submitted a request for a partial reimbursement of this amount, and was denied. Seeing how I paid for a warranty but was denied service, I contacted cancellations for a full refund on my policy. They denied this, saying they could only prorate the refund if I cancel.

He called 2-10 to tell them that it could not be fixed. I called them myself an hour later and they told me that they were working on finding me a new oven. Yeah! But not to happen of course.

I contacted the MFG and they could overnight the part identified by their contractor as the problem on 2/5/15 to me at my cost ($114 vs. the @$75 2-10 would have to pay). I advised them of this and they said it was not approved this way and would be "outside of warranty". I told them to order the part and get the work done. Now they inform me they have been trying to contact me to approve the new part (?) at a number that does not work (even though I advised them of the new contact number - both the contractor and 2-10).

    After repeated attempts to work through your system with nothing but frustration, I have contacted Georgia Department of Insurance and filed a complaint regarding service and deceptive practices. I continue to sit waiting for resolution only to discover that I now have another delay due them not ordering the part needed and identified on 2/5/15.

    Updated review: March 22, 2015

    Hi. You may have read my previous review of 2-10 that I wrote a few weeks ago. Well, I believe in honesty and full disclosure, so I now need to write this. When I wrote the first review, I had recently had a minor stroke, my furnace was out and it was very cold outside. It appeared that 2-10 was really dragging their feet and I believed a supervisor had hung up the phone on me. Here's what happened immediately after I wrote that review.

    The supervisor called me back. The hang up was accidental and she was very apologetic. She still told me that the furnace was scheduled for delivery on Friday, which was several days away, but she would try to get it expedited. After reading all these reviews, I was less than hopeful. The HVAC contractor called me the next day to tell me the furnace was in and 2-10 had approved an emergency order. They could install it that day. Of course, I agreed. The contractor arrived on schedule and proceeded to do an excellent installation.

    They even ran an additional vent line that was damaged at no extra cost. Like I said, I believe in full disclosure, so I do want to add that I had to pay about $700 out of pocket, but I was told this up front and there were no surprises. The expense was for things 2-10 doesn't cover. So, for a total cost of $700, I received a new furnace with full warranty and an excellent installation. The job was finished in 3 days from the point that 2-10 received the report from the contractor. I truly wish I had waited a couple of hours before writing my previous review. I couldn't be more satisfied.

    Original Review: Feb. 10, 2015

    I won't waste time with the war stories. If I could renew my warranty with them for $1.00, I wouldn't. They are worse than having no warranty because having the warranty creates an expectation that you'll have help in an emergency. You won't. If they can make you suffer bad enough and long enough, they're hoping you'll have to fix the problem yourself. I am convinced this is a significant part of their strategy. Stay away. Stay far, far away. I was in the hospital with a minor stroke 10 days ago. 7 days ago, they were supposed to fix my furnace. Today they told me the furnace had to be ordered and it might be here Friday. The temperature is forecast to be 19 degrees on Friday. Two contractors have told me the furnace is not safe to use. I explained all this to 2-10. The supervisor hung up on me.

The 2-10 recorded the request as "Medium-priority" which was the first act of ineptitude. Then 2-10 parts authorization argued with the service provider on the model number for the heat kit.

    While time passed on in this fracas, freezing temps took hold of my residence. Under the apparent guise of consolation, 2-10 returned my $100 deductible so as to provide for temporary heating....REALLY? That part was ordered YESTERDAY and now the BS explanation of the part getting to the service provider in 3-5 days. And apparently, the term EMERGENCY doesn't constitute expeditious shipping either. As a 24-year-old veteran, I have availed myself to free legal counsel where at present, 2-10's definition of an emergency via the policy is being scrutinized by a legal team. I am consolidating all reports from BBB, Angies list, and all other online reviews in consideration for a class action lawsuit.

    Just purchased home a few months ago. Woke up to cold house called a contractor who told me furnace needed replacing. Heat exchanger cracked, collection box cracked and igniter had problems as well. Called 2-10 took them three days to come out and Climate Change tech told me the same thing, furnace needs replacing. The tech filled out work order, took pictures, shut off our only heat, gave me his name and cell phone # in case I wanted him to install the new unit and left. After freezing for a week 2-10 was still giving us the run around.

    Told me buy out was $377. Really? They told me they couldn't get Climate Change to return their calls. What? I requested they actually contact the Climate Change tech who came to my house and informed me that my furnace needed replacing. After complaining to the Office of the President I was told they would now try to reach the tech. Call me a pessimist but I am sure I will be told for the 100th time the buyout stands at $377. This all started the beginning of January and it still is not resolved.

    I did what I was suppose to do by having their tech come out and confirm the diagnosis. Now, just like all the other reviews, they do not want to honor their insurance policy they gladly take premiums for. This is obviously their business practice shown by the number of complaints.

Issue two the process to get a plumber out would have taken several days, they did not care it was an emergency situation. Issue three, they did not consider the basement drain to be covered because the drain pipe extended outside the house foundation. Which begged the question if the toilet pipe had become blocked would they have denied that coverage since the sewer pipe is outside the house foundation?

    We have lived in our home for over 2 years. The drain line connected to the condensation pump for the furnace freezes during the cold months. This causes the pump to run constantly and huge puddles of water to drain in the garage instead of draining outside. We have called 2-10 several times before about this issue. We pay the $75.00 deductible each time and the technician clears the drain line. The technician who came out for our most recent claim said we will constantly have this issue if we don't have the drain line re-run into our sewer system. 2-10 denied this claim stating that this wasn't a common issue because it doesn't usually get that cold in Tennessee and freezing isn't covered by the policy. They also told us that if the condensation pump motor burned out from constantly running, that claimed would be denied as well because that was due to the freezing, which isn't covered by the policy. We are now awaiting a quote from the technician to find out how much it will cost us to fix what our warranty won't cover.

I had to call several times because I did not receive a return phone call. When I finally did get a pool service company out, I was told there was nothing they could do because my spa does turn on (eventually after flipping the switch on and off numerous times) and does heat up (although not warm enough to use). So even though the spa is unusable, they don't have to fix it because it is not completely dead. I canceled after one year. Don't waste your money.

    2-10 customer care basically denied a claim to replace a heating unit. But the problem wasn't that, it was that they waited almost a month to deny and sent 3 contractors out prior to the denial, all which didn't diagnose that it was a cracked heat exchanger, leaving my family in danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. I want to make sure people know. Buyer beware! I am a real estate agent and have been for 20 years. I have sold over 62 million in property and never really believed that I was doing justice by my customers in telling them they should either purchase a home warranty for their buyers, or negotiate one as a buyer, yet I did because our companies seem to believe they give our customers peace of mind. That is exactly why I encouraged my son to ask for a warranty on this his first home purchase, which took place at the end of October 2014. I at the same time told him to be prepared, that if he needed you to come make a repair that you historically deny the claim, and he would have to fight with them because they ALWAYS or 99% of the time deny claims.

    This was the case on the day before Thanksgiving when his furnace failed to blow warm air. First of all, our rep was out of town and told us to tell you it was emergency because it was very cold, which it was. But we gave you a day because we knew my son and my 3-year old grandson could stay with me for 1 night, and your contractor could celebrate Thanksgiving. So, the contractor was scheduled to come out on Friday after Thanksgiving and we were prepared for them to tell my son it was preexisting, as that is again what has historically been the case. It turned out that the contractor started the furnace right up, was there for a very short time, collected the $75 charge and then left. All was good for about an hour and then every time the furnace would start up, it sounded like it was exploding.

    My son went into the crawl space and saw that it was spewing flames when it was lighting the pilot. SO, we shut off the furnace and called 2-10 again. The next contractor, (I believe your records don't show the first call and show this as 12/2, but I think it was actually more like 11/29 or so) a totally different person (contractor #2) came out and again, started it right up. Then I noticed that the furnace was again blowing cold air. My son looked and the pilot was out, so he re-lit it and it worked again, with him relighting it occasionally.

    In the meantime, we had an electrical issue that caused him to have the gas turned off. When we had the gas company come back out to turn on the gas, the gas man lit the pilot, but then noticed it wouldn't consistently stay lit, which according to him "indicated there was a cracked heat exchanger". He refused to light it, explained the danger, as well as told me that he legally could not light it and was putting a warning on the furnace. He also said that your company had a similar obligation because of the MASSIVE danger that carbon monoxide has, which is the result of a cracked heat exchanger. He was stunned that we had not been told the potential danger!! He experienced the same conditions the 2 other contractors did, yet he observed and assumed it to be a cracked heat exchanger. Now, 2-10 says that the crack was SO LARGE that it had to be pre-existing!!!

    Tell me how if it is so large it was not detected by 2 professional contractors that do this on a daily basis, yet is detected by a gas man that is just lighting the pilot? This directly reflects that kind of contractor 2-10 subs out to, which in turn reflects on 2-10. AND at a minimum, if they were going to decline our service, we honestly wished they would have done it on November 28th and not almost a month later, putting my child and grandchild at risk and also out of their home for almost a month. I truly think that 2-10 should have an obligation (even as a limited liability warranty to point out safety issues) or be held responsible for the lack of doing so, and they should stop marketing as such a "protector" when in fact they are collecting money for a service with no validity. I don't know how they can even sleep at night knowing that they work for a company that continually gives people false peace of mind and collects money for doing so.

    I believe it is a buyer-beware sort of warning and they should be held accountable. I have always taken the best care of my clients and want what is best and safe for them, and when it comes to something so severe happening to my own children, it is time to take a stand. AGAIN, I am most upset about the fact that my children lived in danger....and cold, while they were shirking their legal responsibility to detect a defect with such a known and recognized danger. Deny all the claims you want from here on out as opposed to putting others at risk. Rest assured, you won't be getting another dollar from one of my clients.

No way to prepare any food whatsoever. I was given the date of January 17 before they could get a repairman. When I said, "No way that would work," they just canceled the work order. I called again today, and was told I should find a repairman that is willing to do the estimate and communicate with them before repairing the stove. I am new to this area and have no idea who repairs this mode. I also will get no reimbursement for the party of ten people having no lunch in my new home. Do NOT USE this company. Poor customer service, told not my problem more than once. Tell your real estate people to research for better warranty insurance as I take this one to task with all my might.

    My experience with this company is that they would never pay a claim. I made a claim around five months after buying my home for a leaking pipe. The plumber they sent was second-rate at best. He didn't even have sealant or Teflon tape on his truck, so I had to provide it. He called the repair in, they denied it for "faulty installation" which they said wasn't covered. So what is? A freak act of nature? Customer service said they would only cover it if the pipe had to be replaced. The plumber was walking by me as they said that, with a new piece of pipe in his hand to replace the leaking one...... I had to make up new words to convey my feelings at that point.

    A $200.00 part went out on our 11 year old HVAC system. The service provider located the only replacement part in the country. By the time they authorized him to buy it, it had been sold. Long story short they agreed to replace the whole unit but refused to hire a competent service provider to install it. I ended up having to pay the full installing cost ($1,600) to get it done properly. Exceptionally poor service on the phone and online. I classify this company as being equal to a fly by night operation.

    Please do your research before purchasing a home warranty. My experience with 2-10 is that I am very dissatisfied with their service and with their contractors service as well. I do not feel it is acceptable to keep someone in the cold waiting for a heat pump when it's 30 degrees outside. This is just unacceptable. If I did my job like this I'd be fired.

    I contacted the company when my water heater needed repair. Their claim is they contact a repairman within 4 hours during normal business hours. After waiting 8 hours without a word, I called and they told me it can take up to 24 hours to find someone. Fine. After 24 hours, I called again. And surprise, it can now take up to 48 hours to locate someone. Called after 48 hours, and they said it could take up to 72 hours. Really?

    Sounds like a runaround to me. They offered to transfer me a manager and after being on hold 15 minutes, I was disconnected. After calling back, I was told managers do not come to work for another hour and someone would call me back within 24 hours. The problem is twofold: (1) they offer warranties in areas where they have no contractors, (2) my option is to hire my own contractor but I have to have approval which could take 3 plus days. I used Angie's List and Home Advisor and was able to find 8 plus contractors. Now I am waiting until I have approval to call someone. I think the company should not claim they can help you 24/7 if that is not true.

    These guys are a rip off. My water heater motor broke on Dec 1 and these guys couldn't find the right plumber who can fix this. The first plumber they sent, had no clue except he suggest that I need a new motor so he recommended that a new motor needs to be ordered. When the motor came in after 4 days, the motor they had order was not the right one. It is now over 10 days and these guys have no ** clue on what to do.

    Warranty company initially sent out heating company to fix repair. Heating company did not know why they were there and said a plumbing company should have been sent out. Was told a plumbing company would call within 24 hours or we could call them. Plumbing company never called and when we tried to call them, the message said voice mailbox is full. After having no gas or heat for 3 days, we called a plumber ourselves who came out immediately and fixed the problem. We were trying to get reimbursed at least half of the money we spent since we went to an out of network provider but 2-10 would not budge. We were given a different story by each person we talked to as to why we were not reimbursed more than $50 on a $425 bill.

    Maria, a supervisor in customer care department, even told me I should feel really lucky because they should have denied the whole claim even though we followed all the procedures we were told to by the warranty company, going through two different providers they gave us. The follow-through fell apart on their end but they do not want to take any Responsibility for that. Maria told me there was just too much email correspondence noted on her computer and she was trying to read it as she talked to me, thus changing her story many times. She was the third person I talked to as I was on the phone for 35 minutes and each time I had to explain the story again. This company does not fulfill its obligations and just seems to give the run around. Will encourage the realtor who sold us the house to go with a different warranty company!

    My 34 year old furnace went out 6 months after moving into our new home. Took a week for one of their "in-network" contractors to come to our home and tell us that the heat exchanger is completely unusable. Would have taken another 7 days for them to order the furnace and get it installed. Did I mention it was only 15 degree out that week.

    Instead of waiting for my pipes to freeze, I contacted an "out-of-network" contractor to install a new furnace the next day. Cost about $2200.00 - installed for the new furnace. When I tried to take the buy out option from the warranty company they would only offer me $450.00 (which included labor). If I got it replace by them I would have to pay $1500.00 out of pocket because of the labor that is not covered under the warranty. Why would I want an off brand piece of junk that is going to need to be replace in 5 years anyways? I don't care if they have wholesale items and get their labor super cheap from contractors that are under contract with them. That amount for the buy out is just not right! The warranty is seriously not worth it.

    We bought our home 10 months ago and our 36" kitchenaid ceramic cooktop cracked for no apparent reason while in use. We contacted them and they sent a technician that never accessed underneath the unit to measure the granite cutout. Then they offered us a 36" GE model whose cut out was almost 2 inches smaller, and would clearly fall through the hole in our counter. I researched all available models and only kitchenaid brand required the exact cutout dimensions in our counter. They have a deal with GE so they only offer GE appliances (also not stated in the contract). They are refusing to replace our model with one that will fit in the cutout and say they are not responsible for any carpentry or adjustments to make the GE model fit (which i think is impossible aside from new countertops at this point).

    When I asked for a supervisor on the first call I was told there was no one I could talk to. I could "write a letter to the office of the president." 2 weeks and 6 calls and finally some "supervisor" later we are no closer to an agreement. We are only wanting them to stick by what is written in their contract. "To replace a model with exact dimensions when readily available."

    Over the principle of what is stated in the contract we are contacting a contract Lawyer to review our case and demand replacement with a product that fits that is readily available. I will update with the final outcome when it happens but I don't expect much. Aside from all that, the staff was consistently rude, spoke very condescendingly, and didn't "believe my cutout dimensions were accurate" (we lifted the unit up to measure it directly when researching their offer) and the tech never measured it. What a disappointment and definitely not worth the money to purchase.

The oven door and the dishwasher were repaired the day after I called. The technician went out of his way to make everything right. I was very, very happy. The AC went bad on another day. I called the problem in at about 3:00 pm. When the technician got the call, he was almost home, made a u-turn and came to my home. Although we thought the problem was solved by changing a bad switch, an hour later the same problem occurred again. However, Frank came out again, and changed another part, which solved the problem.

They said if I accept it and it doesn't fit I will be charged a restocking fee. I also had the option to take a check to replace it with the microwave of my choice. The dollar amount they offered me was less than the cheaper microwave and about 500 dollars less than the cost of replacing it with the same model. I was told that they did not have to replace my microwave with the same brand and apparently don't even have to replace it with one of the same value.

    In early/middle October our dryer broke. We called in a complaint. A contractor came out and reported to 2-10 for a decision on whether to repair or replace. 2-10 said replace. They offered a new unit or a buyout. A new unit would take 3-5 business days. Based on the timing, and not wanting to do the leg work myself, I opted for a new unit. The order was processed on October 15. Almost 2 weeks later I began making inquiries. At the 2-week mark we began communicating -- reps, supervisors, "customer care", or what is supposed to be higher level response. They all blamed the supplier, AJ Madison, and felt there was nothing they could do, especially as the supplier wasn't returning their calls. As I pointed out, my contract was with them, not the supplier, and that they could order from Lowe's, which promises 48-hour turnaround. They said they'd let me know when they got more information. No one returns calls, though eventually I got an email informing me to expect a dryer by NOVEMBER 14.

    Finally, after numerous calls, including promises to get it taken care of by last Thursday, I told them I'd get my own unit and that I'd take the buyout. I also wanted compensation for the lost time and hassle. They told me -- no joke -- that they couldn't compensate me but would not charge me a restocking fee -- this for a unit that was never shipped. I will not renew when the contract comes up, and I'd caution anyone to avoid this company.

    The warranty doesn't cover anything. The staff is bureaucratic and generally exhibits poor customer service grounded in bureaucracy. The system and process are not set up to be practical. You'd need to carefully prepare and have lots of time on your hands to get anything through the process - and even then, you will have to pay fees so still not covered. Don't buy it, don't use it, save your money. By the way, I want to rate them 1 star overall out of 5 because it's a poor product with poor service - I am not angry as this system is forcing when I choose 1 star.

    I never wasted so much money on a service agreement that's not available to use, 2-10 warranty will think of any excuse to not service your problem even after YOU paid $75 for the service tech to come out and look at it (which means 2-10 warranty hasn't forked out a penny yet). I recently bought a home and was reassured buying a home warranty was a great way to make sure if I had problems with my home or appliances it'd be taken care of.

    I have went around in circles for the last month trying to get my central air fixed and have been told multiple different reasons of why it seems not to be covered under the agreement. The service tech they sent out left my AC unit not intact and never heard from anyone again; even after I had to called multiple times. I became even more unsatisfied when I was told by a representative of 2-10 Warranty I should have contacted the people to have them put it back together-- I did NOT pick these idiots to service my AC, 2-10 Warranty contracted them out.

    I'm not too sure if 2-10 even has certified people to come to your house because this tech couldn't find anything - he was so clueless- couldn't find air filter for first 30 minutes, then spent some time locating drain line - found the drain line but says he can’t find where it goes outside, found a leak with the Freon and was suppose to have 11 gallons but it only had 2 gallons in it since it’s been leaking, and after tearing down the walls to my unit; he left and never returned to put my AC back together.

    I have received the worst customer service of my life. I feel bad for everyone that has wasted their time and money on this warranty group. I work in customer service and am a service manager and I would never put my customers through so much stress. Buying a home is a stressful task all in itself and 2-10 Warranty says "A 2-10 HBW Home Warranty Service Agreement helps homeowners reduce the overall cost of owning a home by protecting them against UNEXPECTED system and appliance breakdowns" so my AC has an unexpected breakdown but the company that put the unit in 15 years ago installed one thing wrong and I no longer have a claim?

    We had a couple of issues and needed to call 210 HBW. The first was with the A/C, the repair company that they sent out was terrible and we had to deal with corporate.

The problem ended up being within the pump system and caused a problem with the heater, which 210 HBW considered "consequential" damage and did not cover any of it, yet couldn't explain why it wasn't covered!

    The reason we purchased the warranty when we bought the house 9 months prior was exactly for this reason, to cover such items due to the age of this home. Our realtor "highly recommended" 210, which we hadn't heard of. We'll go back to American Home Shield now. The area sales rep won't even return our calls.

    I had had three issues come up, one with the AC, one with a toilet, and one with a broken external water line. The AC was first. Anytime you have to do anything with AC you have to reclaim the Freon. The parts were covered but reclaiming the Freon and replacing the Freon were not. That makes no sense because that is done every time you work on AC. Next was the external waterline they sent out a plumber and it was not covered. I had to pay out of pocket to get the problem fixed. This made no sense because the wording in the coverage makes it sound like it was covered. Last was a toilet which came loose from its mounting. That was not covered because they said it was an installation issue. I could see where they were coming from with this, but because of the other issues I was done with them. I let the coverage lapse and am currently looking for another company. I highly recommend finding someone other than 2-10 for coverage.

    Our A/C in our vacation home went out so we called 2-10. We were told they could not find a contractor in our area in their network but we could find one ourselves and it would be considered out of network. After calling several contractors (all of which said they do NOT work with home warranty companies and we would have to pay up front), we were able to find one who would look at the unit. Before he was permitted to do any work, we had to call 2-10 to obtain "approval." The poor contractor had to sit in our kitchen while we were on hold.

    Once we had someone on the line, the contractor had to answer a series of questions to get authorization to do the work. The authorization was finally granted and the unit was fixed. We paid the contractor up front and he left. We submitted our paperwork as they requested to include our invoice, work order number and authorization number. We received a confirmation email that all our documents had been received and would be processed. After a few weeks went by and we heard nothing, I called 2-10 who said they had no paperwork from us and did not know why we received an email saying they did.

    After talking with numerous people, it was determined that they DID in fact have our paperwork but for some reason nothing had been done with it. I was told they would process it all that day and mail a check to us in 2 days. It has now been ample time for the check to be received and we still have not received our reimbursement. I called again today and was told the check had been mailed but they will not stop payment and reissue another until 3 weeks have passed without receipt.
